After several battles, including the beginning of October, Gao Jilong, under the jurisdiction of Huanqing Clan, sent troops to conquer Jingna, Wangmu and other fortresses in Western Xia, which made Han Qi see a problem, although the Song army had not fought for a long time, its combat effectiveness seemed to be stronger than that of the Western Xia army.

There were several fierce battles this year, and the Song army still earned it. So the letter asked to take the initiative to attack Western Xia, otherwise it would only rely on defense, the border was too long, and the enemy would lead 100,000 people at a time to attack only one point. For example, this time in Sanchuan Village, another 100,000 people came, although the imperial court was cowardly and angry for Du An, the defender of the Zhenrong army, and was killed in the Zhenrong Village, but in the face of dozens of times the enemy army, how many generals dared to summon up the courage to go out of the city to fight?

It is better to take the initiative to attack, with superior forces, looking for fighters, and annihilating the Tanguts.

Xia Zhu's generals have not yet practiced, so they should be heavy on self-protection, and if they have a good time to cover up, they should not use the army to go out easily. And hand-drawn offensive and defensive strategies. However, he was helpless by Han Qi's quarrel, he knew that it was irrational to rush into battle, but Han Qi always insisted on fighting, saying it once, saying it twice, and he couldn't let him continue to say it, otherwise the court would think that he was cowardly. In the end, he said, in this way, you and Yin Zhu will go directly to the capital and have something to say to the emperor.

If you want to hit yourself, it has nothing to do with me if something goes wrong.

Han Qi arrived in the capital, and after a hard battle of words, he finally persuaded Zhao Zhen to be the prime minister of the two prefectures, but the Fifth Route Army seriously shrank Zhao Zhen and turned it into two roads, Yanyan and Jingyuan.

Things don't end there.

The holy decree required Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan to go on the expedition, Fan Zhongyan wrote the road, raised troops in the first month, moved more than 10,000 horses, grain and grass, moved more than 10,000 plans, entered the dangerous place, and the rain and snow outside the plug were heavy, exposing the stiff servants, so that the thieves took advantage of them, and the injuries were bound by everyone. Please wait for the spring to come out, the thieves and horses are thin and hungry, and their potential is easy to control, but they can worry about their cultivation, even if there is no big gain, there will be no it.

You can't fight in the first month, you have to fight until March when there is a spring famine.

He also said that he could recruit the Han people in the area of Chashan and Hengshan, which was equivalent to going to the west thief. The city was built widely, and the military horses of Yuanhao East Road were contained, so that the division of Qingjing Yuan in the west of Yuhuan was no different, and it was no different from the three roads.

Can't fight, take your time.

Zhao Zhen then issued an edict to allow Yan Yan to try to recruit all the way to the Tibetan household.

Fan Zhongyan insisted on not sending troops, leaving only Jingyuan all the way, how to fight? Han Qi sent his friend Yin Su to Yanzhou to persuade Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan insisted on his opinion, and Yin Zhu was angry and said: "Han Qi said, and soldiers must win or lose, Fan Gong is too cautious today, it seems that he is really not as good as Han Qi." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "As soon as the army is launched, all lives are hanging, the lives of soldiers and soldiers, and the friends of the country's fortunes can be outside, I don't know where this statement is?" ”

Huff.

Yin Su braved a handful of snow and returned to Jingyuan. Han Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally set his eyes on Pang Ji, they have power in their hands, Pang Ji is a transit envoy, and he has military supplies and money and food in his hands. Ask Pang Ji to fully cooperate.

Pang Ji said, I will give you money and food, but the four roads in the northwest all ask for money and food, and I have no way to give you only one person.

Han Qi was stunned in Jingyuan for a long time, Xia Zhu is a villain, but Pang Ji and Fan Zhongyan are gentlemen, what's wrong?

And what disappointed him the most was that Yuan Hao asked people to make peace in Jingyuan, but Han Qi refused, my brain is not bad, and I will not believe you anymore. He also sent the general Saimen Zhai to Gao Yande to Yanzhou to make an alliance with Fan Zhongyan. Take a look at the other Song generals, although Liu Ping was captured, he would rather die than give in. Or he died in battle, but Gao Yande surrendered immediately. Fan Zhongyan was not surprised, he was hospitable, and made a letter of persuasion to persuade Yuan Hao to surrender to the Song Dynasty again.

Hearing this news, Han Qi was furious, all of you are greedy for life and afraid of death, I will fight alone!

Xia Zhu was anxious, and said that Han Yin went to Que to discuss border policies with the ministers of the two prefectures, and went to discuss from Jingyuan and Yanyan, and descended to the teacher. Now Fan Zhongyan did not agree, and the minister Xun ordered Yin Zhu to go to Yanzhou to discuss with Zhongyan again, but he was stubborn and refused to go out. Recently, I heard that the thieves gathered troops all the way to the enemy's division, and if the two roads worked together to divide the key points, they were still worried that the generals would advance late, and the soldiers would be arrogant and cowardly, and they could not defeat their front. If Jingyuan was ordered to march all the way, Yan Yan circled the realm in the name of containment, and entrusted Jingyuan's division to try to gather Kou, and he was falling into a thief's plan. In addition, the thieves sent officials to cover the bones and so on, and agreed on the 28th to swear to submit to the imperial court. If it weren't for the fear of seeing, he would want to temporarily pay the Han soldiers, and it would be a big rush plan. Begging to send close ministers to supervise Yan Yan's march all the way into the army, and enter the thief realm together, so as not to fall into the thief's annihilation.

Han Qi had to fight, Fan Zhongyan didn't move, he had to get a big deal.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong among the three.

Some people have repeatedly ridiculed Xia Zhu for one thing, he issued an order in Shaanxi, who can mention Yuan Hao's head, and reward five million yuan. After hearing this, Yuan Hao said, who can mention Xia Zhu's head, reward him twice, and mock Xia Zhu fiercely. But this matter cannot be said to be wrong, Yuan Hao has not declined, if there are several major defeats, or the Khitans have not encountered that wind, and he loses some control of Western Xia, this five million guan will work.

Other times, Xia Zhu was very calm.

But in Shaanxi at this time, who can he convince? Han Qi? Fan Zhongyan? Pang's origin?

Han Qi can't say that he has done something completely wrong, he is radical, underestimating the enemy, and he is rash, but he can grind like Fan Zhongyan, and the final direction is that the Song Dynasty will offer New Year's coins to Western Xia. Han Qi didn't want to do it, he didn't want to, he could only go to war.

Fan Zhongyan can't say that he did something wrong, the New Year's fight is definitely not beneficial to the Song army, and even making peace with Yuan Hao is to force Han Qi to agree with his own thoughts. But Fan Zhongyan underestimated Han Qi's determination and sought stability too much.

Instead of seeking stability, Fan Zhongyan's mentality is still the mainstream mentality of the Song Dynasty, passive defense, and peace and peace.

Fan Han finally parted ways.

At the moment, no one continued to see Han Qi's hatred for Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan also fell for Yuan Hao's plan, and dragged Fan Zhongyan with an appointment and concentrated the main force on Jingyuan Road, otherwise he would be attacked on both sides, and Yuan Hao would have no bottom in his heart.

When Fan Zhongyan was waiting for Yuan Hao to reply with confidence, Yuan Hao gathered a large army and personally led his troops out of Tiandu Mountain and went straight to Weizhou City. Han Qi personally came to the Zhenrong army, this is the first line, Yuan Hao wants to attack Weizhou, he must conquer Zhenrong Village.

He also summoned Ren Fu, handed over all the elite soldiers of the Zhenrong Army to him, and recruited another 18,000 volunteers, fearing that the combat strength was insufficient, and handed over Wang Jue, Wu Ying, Zhu Guan, Sang Yi and Geng Fu, who were good at solving cases, to Ren Fu.

But not to meet the enemy, the task of meeting the enemy was Han Qi himself, who was preparing for a bloody battle with the Western Xia army in Zhenrong Village. Ren Fu's mission on this trip went to Yangmu Longcheng, and every forty miles along the way, there was a Song Dynasty fortress, which had a stronghold to rely on and was invincible. There are supplies to give, and there is no need to worry about logistics. When he arrived in the city of Yangmulong, when Yuan Hao was exhausted after attacking the city, he finally launched a blow and defeated the enemy.

Originally, the plan seemed perfect, but when Ren Fu arrived at Huaiyuan Village, he heard that Chang Ding, Liu Su, and the Western Xia people of Zhangjiabao in front of him had fought. Ren Fu's blood boiled and he led the army to rush over. This rush has become the key point of this battle.

Han Qi's order to Ren Fu on this trip was to hide, wander on the outside line, and stick a knife in the enemy's back when he was in the middle of the day. Han Qi's warrant is also a violation of moderation, although it is meritorious, it is also beheaded. Even if you have merit and don't listen to my orders, you will be beheaded according to the law.

This group of elite Song troops rushed over and slashed and killed, like chopping melons and vegetables, hacking to death hundreds of enemies, and the Western Xia army was defeated. Ren Fu followed after him, and he didn't bother to eat for three days and three nights. It's not that Ren Fu is short-sighted, since there is a village on the forty-mile road to provide them with supplies, it is still easy to eat, and the reason why they don't eat is that they can't take care of eating after the enemy. Moreover, the direction of chasing the enemy on this trip is Yangmu Longcheng, and he can chase the enemy, and he can enter Yangmu Longcheng according to Han Qi's strategy, why not?

Chasing to Haochuanshui, at this time Wang Qi had already entered Muyanglong City, and the friendly troops Zhu Guan and Wuying were stationed in Longluochuan, only a hill away from Haoshuichuan. The scout came back and reported that the enemy could no longer run, so he was resting in front of him. Ren Fu ordered the whole army to rest, and sent someone to contact Zhu Guan to meet tomorrow, chase the enemy together, eat this Western Xia army, and then go to Shepherd Longcheng to rest. Zhu Guan agreed, and the next day the two armies rose up at the same time and pursued along a parallel line, while the vanguard Sang Yi had already passed the city of cages, and was only five miles away from the city of Shepherd.

At this time, Song Jun saw a box on the road, opened it curiously, and hundreds of carrier pigeons suddenly flew out of the box. As 100,000 Western Xia troops poured over from the horizon. It was another bloody battle, and Ren Fu's subordinates saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, and said to Ren Fu, you run away, it's still too late. Ren Fu said that I am a general, defeated in the army, and I will repay the country with death. Annihilated.

Wang Jue heard the news and came to the rescue, his subordinates saw that the enemy was strong, and did not dare to move forward, Wang Jue killed several people, could not boost morale, and could only rush into the enemy army alone, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers with his hands, and died of random arrows.

Zhu Guan and Wu Ying were also attacked in Yaojiachuan, but they were lucky, the Western Xia army was going all out to deal with Ren Fu, and it happened that Zhao Bing, the governor of Weizhou, led 2,200 cavalry to pass by here on the urgent order of Han Qi, increasing their strength. But after more than two hours of fierce fighting, outnumbered, the position of the Song army was crumbling, Wu Ying persuaded Geng Fu to escape, I am a martial artist, the army should die if defeated, Jun is a civil servant, no military responsibility, why die with Ying. Geng Fu did not answer, and continued to command his subordinates and the Western Xia army to continue to kill, and finally died heroically.

There were no survivors in Shuichuan that day, but Yao Jiachuan escaped more than 1,000 soldiers, and fortunately found a section of the remnant wall of a local resident's house, leaned against the wall and fired arrows, and insisted on survival until the arrival of Wang Zhongbao, a reinforcement from the Song Dynasty. In this battle, more than 200 generals such as Ren Fu, Wang Qi, Wu Ying, Sang Yi, Zhao Lu, Geng Fu, Li Jian, and Wang Qing did not survive, and more than 10,000 soldiers died heroically, which was even more tragic than Sanchuankou. At the end of the battle, Zhang Yuan left a poem in a temple, Xia Zhu He Zengshru, Han Qi was not surprised, and the dragon and tiger of Manchuan were still talking about military aircraft. The Great Xia Guotai Master Shangshu Order and Zhongshu Order Zhang Yuan followed the Dajia to this topic.

After the war, Han Qi took the responsibility on himself, but Xia Zhu sent people to clean up the battlefield, searched for Han Qi's warrant from Ren Fu, and learned the truth of the battle from the surviving soldiers of Yao Jiachuan, and said justice for Han Qi, which had nothing to do with Han Qi, it was Ren Fu's unauthorized action, which led to a big defeat.

Then Sun Quanbin came to Hangzhou to announce the decree.

"It's miserable." Jiang Xing'er said.

Cui Xian said angrily: "No wonder the imperial court made the official the deputy prime minister, it turned out that it wanted the official to replace Han Qi." ”

"Xian'er, Hugh is talking nonsense." Zheng Lang waved his hand.

At that time, Zheng Lang said that in three years, it was not to consider Shuichuan or Sanchuankou, although the two battles were defeated, they were still glorious in defeat. Without this defeat, the courtiers would not be able to sober up.

But the next defeat can't happen again.

Dingchuan Tsuki.

Although the first two battles were lost, they were remarkable, and this defeat was too humiliating.

So there is this three-year covenant. But the war needs the support of money and silk, and without huge wealth, the imperial court lacks the courage to go to war.

He went to the northwest, and he may not do better than Han Qi, but he has some advanced ideas, at least to prevent the defeat of Dingchuan.

Since the imperial court wanted to let itself go to the northwest, it was time to leave Hangzhou.

The news spread quickly.

The next day, dozens of merchants in the city joined forces and said to Zheng Lang: "Fu Yin came in July, and he should leave in July, and he should leave Hangzhou before the three-year period is completed." ”

Some people are reluctant.

It is also related to their vital interests.

Hangzhou is in a good place right now, so good that they can't imagine it.

However, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the same is true for local officials, what changes will be brought about by changing the prefect? They don't believe that there will be other officials who do a better job than Zheng Lang.

"Are you not satisfied?"

"We are very satisfied, but we are reluctant to leave."

"Today, there is a crisis in the northwest, and the emperor has summoned me back to Beijing, how can I not return to Beijing? Hangzhou affairs, I have already arranged, and the imperial court also intends to choose a capable prime minister to come out to Hangzhou, what else do you have to worry about? Zheng Lang said halfway through to see if his performance would work, and let Chen Zhizhong come to Hangzhou, there would be no problems. If Zhang Guan is allowed to come to Hangzhou, he may not be able to take over Hangzhou smoothly.

Dozens of merchants were relatively silent.

Even if you study Taiping Prefecture and initiate the people to retain Zheng Lang, will it work once, but can it still work twice?

Compared to Hangzhou, the northwest is now more important to the country.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Zheng Lang is the privy deputy envoy this time, and he can't let his family be the prime minister for the sake of his own people.

But they didn't know that the prime minister was actually a little hot.

The news spread, and many people begged Zheng Lang to stay. However, there was not much time for them, and the second edict of the imperial court was quickly sent down to Hangzhou.

First of all, Yin Zhu heard that Ren Fu's army was defeated, and the Western Xia people Kou Liu Fanbao did not retreat, so he sent Liu Zheng, the governor of Huanqing Road, to lead thousands of soldiers to help, but before they arrived, the Western Xia people retreated. Xia Zhu impeached Yin Zhu for using troops without authorization, and sentenced Haozhou.

It should be said that Xia Zhu is not so black at this time.

The knowledge is unknown, Yin Zhu transferred troops without permission, and if he couldn't get it right, he let Xixia eat it by encircling the point and sending reinforcements. Once defeated, no matter how bad, Xia Zhu would not be able to explain to the imperial court.

The imperial court also issued an edict to all roads to explicitly recruit them, so that the thieves were arrogant and secretly deployed troops to attack deeply. Let Fan Zhongyan see whether the morale is brave or cowardly, if he is not afraid of cowardice, he can drive forward, take the main army of Western Xia in Tiandu Mountain, and have not yet returned to China, send troops to Hengshan, and take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Fan Zhongyan said that Ren Fu had the courage to fight, and the thief chased after him when he retreated, and did not follow Han Qi's instructions, so he was defeated. There are famous generals on the side, and thieves can't be predicted. Today's choice is often not enough, and it is even more in-depth, and the disaster is immeasurable. As far as the minister can see, Yanzhou Road begs for the prelude and repairs Nan'an and other places in three or two abandoned villages, and the familiar households and archers are used to fix the fence and lean down on the lair. It is said that the thief is so big that he defends, and if he is small, he attacks, and if he attacks, he can disturb it nearby, and surprise him to please his ears.

It seems to be reasonable, so the soldiers did not come back.

But the court is in a dilemma, can't fight, can't make peace, what should I do?

Zheng Lang was appointed, Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, and immediately asked Chen Zhizhong to replace Zheng Lang to know Hangzhou Mansion, as for using Chen Zhizhong or Zhang Guan, it doesn't matter.

Then Zhao Zhenglang led the hundreds of soldiers to come to the capital to take up their posts, without waiting for Chen Zhizhong to hand over.

Si'er finally knew that the privy deputy was not so easy to be a deputy this time, and complained: "Why so fast? ”

"Si'er, the officials hurry up, it's an edict issued by His Majesty, as a courtier, you must act in accordance with the edict," Cui Xian said.

"Big Lady ......"

"Do you let the officials leave, and the people will see each other off in the middle of the city?"

"Why not?"

"Officials have little qualifications, although they have political achievements and prestige, but the higher their prestige and political achievements, and they enter the Eastern Mansion, the more people are afraid of. Why do you have to be sent by the people? ”

"Alas, you are getting more and more ......" Zheng Lang looked at his wife, speechless.

"Official, I have no objection to you going to the northwest, but this time listen to my words and immediately leave Hangzhou with those hundreds of soldiers, the sooner the better, so that the people will not hear the rumors."

"What are we going to do?" Huan'er asked.

"After the officials left, we packed our bags and rushed to the capital by boat." Cui Xian said. In the past few years, she has always wanted Zheng Lang to return to Beijing to serve as a Beijing official, and finally served as a Beijing official, and she was still a privy deputy envoy, but this Beijing official made her very unhappy.

"It's up to you." Zheng Lang said.

Anyway, he wanted to leave Hangzhou, so he ordered to bring the seven hundred and dozens of Jurchens to Hangzhou City. and Li Yan made a handover, although the edict asked him to return to Beijing quickly, the battle of Shuichuan made Zhao Zhen's heart cold, at this time it was war or peace, and the court was indecisive for a long time, so Zhao Zhen was very eager to let him go back to the capital to see if he could make an idea for him.

But the handover is a procedure, and it must be done in an appearance, first handing over to Li Yan, and then from Li Yan's hands to Chen Zhizhong's hands.

Li Yan also asked in surprise: "Leave so soon." ”

"Haoshuichuan, our army was defeated again, and more than 10,000 soldiers died."

"Defeated again?" In order to let officials understand the rule of officials, the Song Dynasty often printed some major events into newspapers and sent them to officials in various places. However, at this time, the report of the battle of Haoshuichuan had not yet come down, and Li Yan did not know.

"Defeated again."

"Why do you always fail?"

"There are victories, too."

"Win less and lose more."

"Don't talk nonsense, the country has been peaceful for a long time, and I don't understand the first war, but it will get better in the future. Hangzhou will be handed over to you. ”

"Don't worry, Chen Xianggong will come to Hangzhou without saying anything, I can still watch Hangzhou during this time, it's a big deal for Xiao Gui Cao to follow."

Zheng Lang thought to himself, you are not Cao Shen, but after last year's planning in Hangzhou, the big picture is already there, as long as it is not too mediocre, Hangzhou will not have a big problem at this time.

After the handover, he rode Xiaoqing and came to the barracks outside the city.

At this time, some people in the military camp were curiously surrounded, watching Wang Zhi lead these soldiers to practice.

Zheng Lang said: "Wang Zhi, let's go." ”

Wang Zhi was very familiar with these soldiers, so Zheng Lang asked Yang Bawang to go to the Japanese slave country and asked Wang Zhi to follow him to the capital.

The people didn't know what they thought Zheng Lang was going to do with this army.

It wasn't until the day after Zheng Lang left that he heard the news that Zheng Lang had left Hangzhou. First it was inexplicable, and then it was regretful.

All the way to Tokyo.

In the front, this group of soldiers was set up in the barracks, and Zhao Zhen was summoned to the palace in the back.

There was still a small banquet, and there were two women sitting in the banquet, both of whom knew each other, one was Empress Cao and the other was Miao Guifei.

After saluting, Zhao Zhen said, "I heard that your second child is also a girl? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty's condolences are by the way."

Zhao Zhen's son Zhao Xin died of illness a few days ago, the two have some sympathy for each other, Zheng Lang's two children are all daughters, Zhao Zhen's ability to give birth to children exceeds Zheng Lang's, but he can't live long.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhen and then at Miao Guifei, Zhao Zhen's face was haggard, Miao Guifei was even more haggard, holding Princess Fukang in her arms, with tears in her eyes.

"Zheng Qing, do you believe that there is a way of heaven?"

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know."

"Could it be that I ...... last life?"

"Your Majesty, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows. There really is a saying of retribution, Your Majesty was also a good person in his last life, otherwise how could he become the Ninety-Five? ”

But the two didn't say much about their children's affairs, Zhao Zhen changed the topic and said: "Haoshuichuan has lost again." ”

"Your Majesty, although defeated, it is still glorious."

"Can't win?"

Zheng Lang was silent for a while, in this battle, Fan Zhongyan was at fault, and fell into Yuan Hao's dang, after the defeat of Haoshuichuan, Fan Zhongyan was not sober and continued to negotiate peace with Yuan Hao. I didn't know that I was being played by Yuan Hao.

Han Qi was also at fault, although his arrangement seemed to be correct, but he was arrogant and tried in vain to defeat Western Xia with his strength all the way. This kind of arrogance also had a bad impact on the soldiers.

Ren Fu was even more at fault, although he died bravely, but the fault was not only not to listen to Han Qi's orders, but to scout in a place that all the ministers did not know. Haoshuichuan was not in the territory of Western Xia, but in the territory of the Song Dynasty, although it was the front line, its territory was controlled by the Song Dynasty.

Even if he didn't mention the scout, the 100,000-strong army was lying in ambush around the Haoshui River, and he couldn't even notice it, and it was incredible to think about it.

That's 100,000 people, and 100,000 horses, and horses occupy a larger volume than people.

Think about it, 100,000 people and 100,000 war horses, just put them in the mountains and forests, how many mountains and forests do you have to fill?

I don't know anything.

Including Wang Jue, 100,000 horses were ambushed under the noses of Shepherd Longcheng, and Wang Jue did not notice it.

The minister is a famous minister, and he will be a famous general, so Zheng Lang doesn't know what to say.

"There are ministers in the imperial court who say that they want to discuss peace ......"

"Your Majesty, by all means, negotiate peace with the Khitans, in exchange for decades of peace. This is the Khitan people talking about some credit, but Yuan Hao repeatedly, including the peace agreement with Fan Zhongyan, which was a pretense of deception, dragging Fan Zhongyan's troops from dispatch, and concentrating on attacking Jingyuan. Even Han Qi was fooled, the heavy troops were in Zhenrong Village, and the Western Xia people were not good at attacking the city, so they pretended to attack the city and transferred our army to the field. ”

"Original...... I shouldn't have let you go back to Hangzhou last year. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is only talking on paper, and in hindsight, if you really want the minister to stay in the northwest, you may not be able to do better. Moreover, the war was endless, and more money was needed, so the minister was bent on returning to Hangzhou and stabilizing the various plans created by Cao. If there is no stability, even if His Majesty summons the minister back to the capital this time, the minister will not return to the capital. ”

"Then you said you would win......

This question is very important, if you can win, Zhao Zhen will continue to fight, and if you can't win, Zhao Zhen's heart began to waver.

"It's going to win, it's not going to be that easy. In the past, how long did it take for me to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty? Besides, in the northwest, Your Majesty, this is not a year or two of work. ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't speak.

The Southern Tang Dynasty fought from Chai Rong's hands, until Song Taizu, and then to Song Taizong, who pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty and unified the Central Plains.

"What's the best idea?"

"Good policy, the minister wrote it last year."

Zhao Zhen can't say it, especially the correction inside will be from the middle of the palace, passive defense and Gou and steal peace, Zhao Zhen does not approve. However, from the middle of the reign, the extraneous voice gave the border generals more autonomy, and even Zhao Zhen hesitated.

It seems that Ren Fu has the autonomy this time to change the original plan formulated by Han Qi.

Zheng Lang saw Zhao Zhen's thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, Ren Fu's defeat is careless and complacent, but Your Majesty, the ministers have several strategies, and only one strategy is implemented, and it is still not meritorious." Ren Fu chased the enemy right or wrong, and the minister didn't dare to say. Even according to Han Qi's strategy, Yuan Hao would not be like a fool, and he would consume our army in Zhenrong Village, and the rats would become tired troops, so that Ren Fu would intercept and kill them in the back. Mainly, did Ren Fu send spies at that time, 100,000 military horses, could he be invisible? ”

"Exactly."

Zheng Lang sighed secretly in his heart, at this time, Zhao Zhen still had a courage, and after Dingchuan, there was no courage left. He raised his head again and said: "Your Majesty asked the minister whether he would defeat the Western Xia, and the minister wanted to ask Your Majesty, how many soldiers can Your Majesty tolerate the sacrifice of our dynasty?" ”
