Mu Zheng was a little anxious, his envoy had been to Qingtang City for a long time, and the letter had also been sent to Qingyi Jiegui Zhang, but the reinforcements did not come. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Will the river sit idly by? Mu Zheng shook his head gently, it was impossible for them not to understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Uncle Dong Yu may not be as wise and martial as his grandfather Jiao Guluo, but he can be regarded as wise, and he must understand these truths. Needless to say, Qingyi's ghost chapter is the most feared.

But why didn't the reinforcements come?

Mu Zheng thought about it, and probably guessed something. Rescue is certain, but delay is inevitable.

After all, although Hezhou nominally belongs to Hehuang and Tubo, it has existed independently for many years, and the contradiction between Dong Yu and Blind Felt may be able to dissipate over time. However, this subordinate relationship between Hehuang and Hezhou is difficult to change, for Hehuang, Hezhou will always be a part of it, and it will be recovered as long as there is an opportunity.

In the past, it was a historical problem, and Hezhou was needed as a buffer zone with the Song Dynasty. But now, since the Song Dynasty had the intention to use troops against Tibet, the existence of a buffer zone would be meaningless. Especially with such an important geographical location as Hehuang, how could he fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, Dong Yu must send troops to rescue.

But what about after the victory over the Song Dynasty? Is it better to let Hezhou exist transcendentally, and let Mu Zheng rule alone and establish himself as the king? Dong Yu is not stupid, it is impossible to let his nephew do this.

It's just that blatantly attacking Hezhou will inevitably be suspected of cannibalism, and the difficulty is not small, and it consumes his internal strength in vain.

Now the invasion of the Song Dynasty is definitely a godsend, and with Mu Zheng's request for help, the Hehuang army can naturally enter the territory of Hezhou. The Tubo people who are of the same origin are also very easy to accept them, especially after defeating the invaders of the Song Dynasty, they must be grateful to them.

Although He Huang has ulterior motives, and can even be said to be a little despicable, only upper-class figures like Mu Zheng understand, where do ordinary people understand? They will only think that the Hehuang people have helped drive out the enemy and help them recover their homeland. Moreover, Dong Yu, as a Zampu, also has a strong sense of belonging in the hearts of the Tibetan people. In this way, it can take over River State very smoothly.

As for the original owner Mu Zheng, he naturally had the heart to oppose it, but what could he do? In the previous battle with the Song Dynasty, his strength had been consumed, and at this time, he was no longer able to argue with his uncle Dong Yu, so he could only obediently hand over Hezhou.

Although Mu Zheng felt that Dong Yu was a little unauthentic in doing this, he didn't resent his uncle, if it was him, he would do the same.

In many cases, defending against foreign enemies is not a simple matter. War is also a type of diplomacy, and diplomacy is a continuation of internal affairs. Taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen internal unity, Dong Yu is not wrong as Zampu. This kind of strategy of killing with a knife is not uncommon, not clever, but very practical.

Mu Zheng saw it clearly, but he didn't have any way!

Hezhou's position is very embarrassing, and its strength is also very weak. In special times, a delicate balance can be maintained by taking advantage of the struggle between countries.

But now, this balance has been broken, and it is impossible for River State to maintain its independence, and the end is destined to lean on one side or the other.

As for which side it is, it is related to the current situation, and there is also the choice of Hezhou, which is actually related to Mu Zheng's personal choice.

The Tangut people temporarily withdrew from the game, and Mu Zheng's choice could only be the Song Dynasty and Hehuang.

Surrender to the Song Dynasty, the ending will be miserable, and you will become a caged bird in the future, and you may die violently at any point. I heard that at the beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there were many vivid examples.

Of course, in the end, he had to fall to Hehuang, and the ending was not much better.

It's just that after all, at the same time, the Tubo people are the same family, and when they can't threaten the status and rule of Dong Yu's father and son, they can still live.

If you can maintain some strength, you should still have certain rights, maintain a certain status and treatment, which is much better than surrendering to the Song Dynasty.

Maybe this is fate, life is sometimes so helpless!

What Mu Zheng can do at this moment may be to preserve as much strength as possible, so that the foundation of Hezhou will not be destroyed in one fell swoop, and even if he bows to his uncle Dong Yu in the future, he will be able to have a little self-preservation power. However, sometimes the power is too strong, but it will cause others to be suspicious, and maybe there will be no good life.

Alas! What the future holds, who knows?

Mu Zheng shook his head gently, and now he could only take one step at a time.

At the beginning of the war, the morale of the Song army was very strong, and the soldiers were in full swing, and it was absolutely unwise to fight hard with the Song Dynasty at this time, and the losses would definitely outweigh the losses.

Anyway, the land in Hezhou is vast, and it doesn't matter if you lose some land first, the most important thing is to preserve your strength, and it's not too late to counterattack in the future. Exchanging space for time, Mu Zheng also understands this truth. For the tribes on the grassland, as long as there are people, the land and pastures can be snatched back sooner or later.

Consume the Song army's combat power and stamina, make them proud soldiers, and then look for an opportunity to launch a counterattack with the help of the geographical advantage. Moreover, Mu Zheng did this with the intention of persecuting his uncle Dong Yu.

When the land of Hezhou is being eaten away little by little and is getting closer and closer to Hehuang, can uncle Dong Yu still be so calm? Only if they can send troops earlier, they will have the strength to fight the Song people.

I have to say that Mu Zheng is really not easy, and he has been trying his best for these things recently.

Also scheming are Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo!

The two of them led the army into the territory of Hezhou, which was simply like entering a no-man's land, except for some cities that were not relocated, most of the Tubo people disappeared.

For a long time, they didn't find the Tibetans at all, and they couldn't talk about fighting them!

In this case, what can be done even if a large amount of Tibet is occupied? What's the point of being all grasslands and forests, but empty? Can even the enemy be called war just to see it?

There was no way, they could only be stationed on the spot, and then report the news to the Xizhou base camp, and ask the coach Wang Shao and the deputy marshal Lin Zhao to make a decision.

Jing Sili is a very cautious person, although this situation is smooth, but it is a bit too smooth. Not finding the enemy is the most terrible, if you blindly advance, who knows what lies ahead?

Maybe the Tibetans are waiting for an opportunity somewhere, waiting to attack them? It is not uncommon to fight with the grassland tribes. It is taboo to go deep alone, so you must be careful.

For such a result, Wang Shao and Lin Zhao were also very helpless!

"This Mu Zheng is not simple, some abilities are much stronger than his father's blind felt." Wang Shao couldn't help but sigh.

"No, he's deliberately delaying and not going to war with us!" Lin Zhao said: "Although it is a last resort, it is also a good countermeasure. Lin Zhao couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Mu Zheng when he was an envoy to Hehuangqing Tang City. This person is completely capable of being independent, capable and skilled! Today's performance is the best proof of this!

"Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo are both cautious people, and they have stopped now and asked what to do next?"

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Their decision is right, Mu Zheng's move is obviously a tired strategy!" ”

"yes!" Wang Shao said: "Originally, morale was like a rainbow, but if it goes on like this, the soldiers will get used to it and lose that sharpness!" ”

"Mu Zheng is very smart, he knows that he can't take advantage of the war with our army now, so he will use this method to delay time and consume the morale and physical strength of our army." Lin Zhao said: "Perhaps, he will send some small troops, and then deliberately defeat us, if this continues, the soldiers are afraid that they will breed pride." ”

The traditions of the Celestial Dynasty have made many people have a natural sense of pride. Seeing that there was no resistance from the Tubo soldiers, some people already thought that it was the arrival of the Great Song Tianwei, and the Tubo people fled in despair. There are not a few soldiers with such big ideas, and if they continue to spread, what will be the consequences?

Lin Zhao couldn't help but be a little worried, not to mention, Mu Zheng was really a talent, and he had such an accurate grasp of Song Jun's heart!

"yes, I'm a little worried, too!" From the very beginning, the burden on Wang Shao's shoulders was not easy, Zhao Ji had high hopes for her, and the tasks that needed to be completed in this battle were extraordinary. Wang Shao is under pressure, but he also knows that this is an opportunity, if he succeeds, he will be famous all over the world, not to mention the glorious lintel, and he will be able to go down in history.

Before the army, Wang Shao was full of confidence, thinking that although the Tubo people were brave and brave, this battle was somewhat difficult, but it seemed that it was not difficult to win. But after the real war, Wang Shao found that the situation was worse than he expected, and many things were a little tricky. The outcome of the war, the progress, and the costs and outcomes of the war are all subject to change.

That's a lot of pressure!

Lin Zhao can also understand that because of Wang Anshi's matter, Zhao Ji can be said to be a complete defeat in the court. At this time, for the sake of his imperial prestige, almost all his hopes were pinned on the Battle of Xihe. In this case, how can Wang Shao not be under pressure?

Of course, Lin Zhao also has it, but the purpose is different, the expected result is different, and all the moods are naturally very different.

"Isn't there any movement over there?"

Wang Shao shook his head and said: "At present, it is quiet, there is no movement, it seems to be a little abnormal!" ”

Lin Zhao groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "It's not abnormal, Dong Yu must also have his own considerations, he wants to snatch Hezhou from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty and take it for himself." Obviously, Mu Zheng also realized this, he deliberately retreated, and he may not have the intention of putting pressure on Dong Yu! ”

"What should I do? If it goes on like this, it is not a way, especially if Dong Yu suddenly sends troops, then their strength will be much stronger, and our troops are not so sufficient! Wang Shao looked worried.

"yes!" Lin Zhao also muttered, "Do you have to think of a way?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
