Chapter 046: Plan Ahead

The laughter of the Western Xia soldiers came from the city, and then several generals appeared in front of the Western Xia army, Shen Kuo recognized Liang Yikui, and at the same time Liang Yiqi shouted towards the city: "Is it Shen Jingluo on the other side?" ”

"Lord Liang, what do you mean by this?"

"Shen Jingluo, call me Wang Shi in the future! You and I both understand that this Yongle City will definitely be self-defeating, and if you agree to withdraw the army, I can let the Song army live now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You, wishful thinking! Think a basket of apples can buy me Song Jun?! Xu Xi said.

"Hahaha, I didn't want to buy Song Jun, I was just a meeting gift. You see, there is an apple fruit in this very hot time, and it is just in time for rain! Wang Shi said with a laugh.

Shen Kuo thought to himself that if the Western Xia Army could suddenly have such a change, it must be something that Wang Bian did behind. Now that Wang Shi has incorporated the troops of the Western Xia army, his purpose is not to really fight with the Song army, but to preserve his strength and return to the Western Xia to seize power. But it seems unreasonable to let Shen Kuo withdraw his troops for no reason. "The prince should be joking, thinking that my Yongle City is indestructible, how can I not attack it? If that's the case, I, Shen Kuo, would be willing to withdraw my troops, and even if the prince can really prosper Xixia and Song, it will help the prince I think my family is also willing. ”

Wang Shi smiled slightly, Daddy Wang had already made it clear to him that it was impossible for the Song army to retreat in three or two sentences, and if he had to do enough drama, he had to give Shen Kuo some face.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Ready," and several more catapults set up their shelves, and the soldiers tightened their ropes.

"Are they going to throw the apple fruit again?" Xu Xi watched the Xixia soldiers busy loading the baskets, and curiously leaned over the city wall to look at it.

Wang Shi said: "Release!" One by one, artillery explosives were thrown onto the city, Shen Kuo felt bad, and shouted: "Get down!" He dodged, but the explosives that exploded immediately caused smoke to rise from the city wall, and some artillery fell to the ground and caught fire, igniting the clothes of the Song army.

The Song army in the city panicked, and they didn't care about counterattacking the Western Xia army at all, so they were busy putting out the fire. There is no water in the city, once any place is lit, it can't be extinguished, and you can only watch tens of thousands of people die in the fire in Yongle City.

"Oh, hurry, save me!" Xu Xi's body was lit by a fire bullet, and he was fanning himself while jumping on his feet and shouting.

Shen Kuo was angry in his heart, and beckoned the soldiers to step forward, and several soldiers kicked around Xu Xi, and finally kicked out the fire on his body. The fire in the city was almost extinguished, and the smell of sulfur smoke was choking in front of me.

Shen Kuo flickered the smoke, but fortunately, the Western Xia army did not set off any more fire bombs, and Wang Shi shouted: "Shen Jingluo, now you have seen it, as long as my Western Xia army ignites the city gate, the Song army will definitely be defeated if the fire burns the city." But I, Wang Shi, will not do things so absolutely, what I want you to know, now I propose peace talks, do you agree or not! ”

"Ahem!" Shen Kuo knew in his heart that this pile of firebombs was enough to disperse the momentum of the Song army. Fire and water are ruthless, and you can't expect God to rain to save you in a war. He looked back and saw that the soldiers in the city had long been thirsty and had no strength to fight, and there were many thirsty people in the city who had fallen from thirst. Shen Kuo sighed, this battle was lost, he already knew about it, now that the water in the city has been cut off for seven or eight days, and none of the people sent out to ask for help have not returned.

Looking at the Western Xia Army again, densely surrounding Yongle City, he is the commander of the three armies, and his words may be able to save the lives of tens of thousands of people. What's more, if these tens of thousands of people are killed here, then the Song army has almost no chance, this time to build Yongle City, Zhao Ji poured the wealth of the whole country and most of the soldiers.

Shen Kuo hesitated in his heart, and suddenly saw Wang Bian walking out of the ranks of the Western Xia army, he rode on his horse and shouted to Shen Kuo: "Shen Jingluo, do you recognize me?!" ”

This is the first time that Wang Bian has appeared like this in front of Song Jun, wearing a battle robe and holding a spear, stepping down from the dragon bird to get rid of the king of Zhennan back then. Among Shen Kuo's lieutenants, there were two people, one named Li Ji and the other named Gao Yongneng, who exclaimed: "This, isn't this the king of Zhennan?" ”

Xu Xi also saw it, and he said angrily: "What Zhennan King, he must have witchcraft, Zhennan King has been dead for more than ten years." ”

Wang looked at the city and said loudly: "Shen Jingluo, I know the two people next to you, but when I was in the city a few days ago, the two of them were busy defending and didn't have time to see them. When did you leave the old general's side? ”

"That's right, it's the King of Zhennan!" Gao Yongneng pulled Li Ji and said excitedly.

These two people have known Wang Bi for a long time, and they first worked by the side of Yanzhou Chongyi, and at that time, the two guards next to the king sent by Chongyi, one Zhi Kejun and the other Zhang Ping were selected from the four of them, and later these two people also made a lot of military exploits with Chong Ge, so they naturally knew Wang Bi.

Shen Kuo was sure now, and he asked the king, "You, but the king of Zhennan?" ”

"Exactly, I was ordered by the emperor to go to the Liao Dynasty, but I met robbers on the way, but fortunately, there were strange people who rescued me and taught some techniques to stay in the face, and I didn't think that a farewell would be more than ten years. Now that my king is back, isn't Shen Jingluo surprised?! ”

"It's really unexpected, but how could the prince be with the Western Xia Army!"

"When I came back, I was discovered by the Liang clan and sent the Liang army to hunt me down. Fortunately, Liang Yikui, who is now Wang Shi, came to the rescue, and now he is an enemy of the Liang family, I think the matter of Yongle City is already like this, it is better for the Song army to be a favor, if Shen Jing is slightly difficult to withdraw the troops, let me give the order? No matter how I say that I am also the prince of the dynasty, and I have a royal gold medal here, if the emperor wants to blame and punish, I am willing to bear it alone, so as not to cause great damage to the lives of the Song army! ”

Shen Kuo has a step now, not only Shen Kuo, but many people in the city feel that they see hope, who doesn't know the famous King of Zhennan who was famous on the battlefield back then. Especially in the northwest frontier, the king walked more than once, and Cao Tian, who was guarding Zhenrong by the emperor's relatives, could kill him if he said he would.

Xu Xi seemed to be relieved again, and he shouted to the king: "Can you count it if you say it?" Did you say that the Western Xia soldiers listened? ”

Wang Bei smiled, thinking that anyone can let go, but he can't let you go back to the court: "I can come forward to deal with this matter, I will find the prince of Xixia now and ask him to retreat three miles." If I do it, can Shen Jingluo do what I say! ”

"Good! If the king of Zhennan can really do it, then invite the prince into the city, and we will discuss the plan to return to the dynasty together! Shen Kuo said loudly.

Wang Bi looked back at Wang Shi: "Retreat three miles!" ”

Wang Shi brought the horse to the king: "Dad, do you really want to enter the city?" ”

"Of course! Otherwise, how to persuade Shen Kuo to quit Yongle City?! ”

"But then aren't you going to follow Song Jun back to Bianjing?!"

Wang looked at Wang Shi, and was very emotional, after all, he was reunited with his child after a long absence, and this child said that he wanted to kill back to Xingqing Mansion, but in fact, it was equivalent to giving up his title of prince for the name of Wang Shi, and everything was just the beginning for Wang Shi.

"I definitely want to go back, there are still my relatives there, and what I lost, I want Zhao Ji to return it to me. It's just that I'm a little worried......"

"Daddy, are you worried about me?"

Wang nodded beside him: "You are still young, and you have no experience in many things, I am worried that you will not be able to reach it if you are in a hurry to kill back!" ”

"Dad, don't worry, haven't you already arranged for the people of the Salt Gang to help me take care of the affairs of Yongle City? Sha Shiyan: They also have a friendship with me, and they will definitely do their best. ”

Wang Bei smiled: "You just take this as a basis, don't rush back to Xingqing Mansion for the time being, and after the Song army retreats, you will let Wang Duo go to blow up the water interception point I arranged before." Those places will split into several streams from the Wuding River, and the canal is estimated to have been dug by the other two pairs of Salt Gang. In this way, the problem of water sources for the army can be solved. You remember to make sure to make a moat, like I drew for you earlier, and reinforce the walls. ”

When Wang Shi heard what the king said, he knew that he had made up his mind, and he nodded vigorously. The king said, "It would be great if this place was a military stronghold if there was no problem with the water source." After I am gone, you must build and defend the city well. In addition, since you, Master Xiao Ying, have returned to the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty is now pursuing the Liang family's affairs, you can join forces with the Liao Dynasty to force the Liang family to abdicate. I'll leave them for you, you have to take good hold of these people. ”

"Daddy......" Wang Shi's voice was a little choked: "You have to be more careful!" ”

The father and son said goodbye, and the king smiled and said: "Manly man, don't be such a mother!" ”

Wang Shi thought to himself, this king also said that when he first saw the king, he was more than his mother now. "Dad, if Zhao Ji dares to touch half of your cold hair, I will definitely not spare him!"

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare! And I also told you, no matter what happens to me when I go to the Song Dynasty, you should not be impulsive. Remember that all you have to do is to consolidate your strength, take down Xixia first and wait for me. Don't be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, do you hear?! ”

"But? ...... "What else does Wang Shi have to say?" The king interrupted him: "It's nothing, you are my son!" You remember, from today onwards our goal is one ......"

"Unify the world!" Wang Shi swore to answer.

"Wrong! To live! Only by staying alive can you have a chance! You will give me a good life, not only so that your soldiers, but also your subjects will feel that they are living a good life in the future, and everything is nonsense without this foundation. ”

Wang Shi pondered the words of the king in a daze, is his father's request so simple, what is he doing in the world, or one day he will understand that it is easy for a person to live, and it is not easy to let his soldiers and his subjects live well.

Xu Xi in the city shouted next to the king: "What, King Zhennan, how are you discussing?!" ”

The king looked back and saw that it was Xu Xi who replied loudly: "Hya's head! ”

Xu Xi was scolded, and he couldn't reply a word, Shen Kuo and the others snickered.

The Western Xia army retreated three miles, and Wang Bi entered Yongle City alone, this was the last time he entered the city, and then he would withdraw from Yongle City with Shen Kuo's army, leaving the Song-Xia border and returning to the capital. Fourteen years later, what will become of the former relatives and friends? Can Zhao Ji calmly face the returning king, and how will the monarch and the ministers get along?
