Chapter 388: Agancheng (3)
Zheng Lang rode back on horseback.
After riding a horse for a long time, his equestrian skills are getting better, and he can't do difficult movements on horseback, but he can run wild on a horse without falling.
I was thinking about why.
This invasion, Yuan Hao was a month late, there were about two reasons, he set up an ambush in front of Shimen River twice, Xixia hurt his vitality, and he was somewhat afraid of himself, afraid of his own participation, until he focused on building the city and repairing the canal and Tuntian, Yuan Hao sent troops to Agancheng.
Blind felt waited in Weizhou City with his eldest son Mu Zheng.
At the end of last year, Zheng Lang said to him: "Yuan Hao was defeated in both battles, the country was embarrassed, the people couldn't survive, the north was the Khitans, he didn't dare to touch it, the east was my dynasty, and you also saw the results of the encounter." It can only make up its mind about you, there are people, there is wealth, there is land. If he wants to attack your Shrine Valley, he will definitely strengthen Aganzhai and prevent our dynasty from sending troops for help. When Aganzhai changed from a walled village to a city, Yuan Hao would use your submission to our dynasty as an excuse to send troops to attack the Niche Valley. You have to be prepared. β
That's all there is to it.
Not long after, the Western Xia Zhen sent troops from Wachuan Huicheng and arrived at Agan Village to overhaul the civil engineering.
Blind and creepy, he took his son to Weizhou for help. When they met, they bowed down again and said, "Please ask Zheng Gong to beg me." β
"You don't need to make such a big gift, you are the minister of my court, and the people are also my people, and it is my duty to rescue them. This little Langjun is ......" Zheng Lang looked at the young man beside the blind felt and asked knowingly.
"It's my eldest son Mu Zheng, who is ignorant, and I want to keep him in Weizhou City to study and observe for a while."
The good saying is actually that the eldest son is pledged in Weizhou as a person for the support of the army.
"I treat you with sincerity, and you should repay with an open heart, don't think about it."
Blind and red-faced.
"Tell me the details."
"Ten days ago, Yi Shijilu led 10,000 horsemen to overhaul the ...... of Agan Village"
"Is Ishjilu the son of your Tubo Wen Qi?"
"It's him," the blind felt bowed his head in shame.
He was born in Gaochang and was brought to Hezhou by He Lang Yexian, a big businessman in Hexi, he is a descendant of the original Tubo Zampu, and was embraced by all ethnic groups in Tubo, and was known as the incarnation of the Buddha. Later, he was coerced by Li Lizun of the Zongge clan and Wen Qiqi of the ancient Miao Chuan Department to Kuozhou, and was respected as Zampu. Wen Qiqi and Li Lizun lost peace, led the crowd to Miaochuan, and held the people hostage to Miaochuan again.
Gradually, the quarrel grew bigger and bigger, and the political skills became more and more mature, and there were faint signs of breaking away from Wen Qiqi's control.
Wen Qiqi had evil intentions, but he did it carefully, and his prestige among the people of Tubo was too high, and Li Lizun was helpless, besides, it was him. So he started from the outside first, and he was close to Song, and Wen Qiqi could only find Li Yuanhao.
At this time, Li Yuanhao attacked the Ganzhou Uighurs, and the Khitan had always regarded the Ganzhou Uighurs as their own food, which was slightly unhappy. In this environment, the two hit it off.
With the support of Western Xia, Wen Qiqi emboldened himself and staged a coup d'Γ©tat, imprisoning him in a dungeon in the well and continuing to hunt down and kill the few cronies he had. He didn't dare to kill him, and planned to eradicate his cronies first, purge the Wen clan's opposition to his forces and the elders of the old tradition who were loyal to the sacredness of Zampu, and then force Zampu to let Zampu Yu Wen Qiqi. The Tubo Zampu lineage was able to smoothly transfer from the Xibuye line to the Wen family.
Something happened, and the soldiers who were watching the guards released him from the dungeon. At this time, Wen Qiqi outside was leading people to kill his subordinates, a messy mess, he didn't escape, and he came to the street generously and said: "I'm Zampu, please calm the chaos for me." β
As a result, all the soldiers defected, including Wen Qiqi's relatives, uncles and brothers, and Wen Qiqi went to hell in the blink of an eye.
In Lanzhou, Li Deming reconciled with the Song Dynasty, but did not forget Hexi, and when Li Deming succeeded to the throne, Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Tubo Valleys of Hexi, had asked the Song Dynasty for the two armies to join forces with the Li clan in Xiazhou. The Song Dynasty did not listen, but supported a batch of medicinal herbs and weapons. Li Deming induced the party members in the Liugu Department to rebel and attacked and killed Pan Luozhi. The Six Grains Department re-established the Governor of Pan Luozhi as the new leader. Li Deming attacked the Liugu tribe and the Ganzhou Uighurs at the same time. The Uighurs showed weakness and lured the Western Xia general Wanzi to take the risk of advancing lightly, but Wanzi was defeated and the entire army was annihilated, so that both the Song and the Tibetan Uighurs despised the Western Xia.
A series of attacks followed, all of which were unsuccessful. However, the Khitan came to pick up the cheap, Xiao Tuyu broke through Suzhou, and captured all its people, and the Khitan shot this time brought a heavy blow to the Uighurs. I had to send someone to the Song Dynasty for help. Li Deming robbed his messenger many times, and the Tubo people rescued him. The common enemy put the Tibetans and the Uighurs in the honeymoon period.
The Khitan made some mistakes this time, the reason for the move, picking up the cheapest first, overestimating the strength of the Ganzhou Uighurs, curbing the expansion of the Ganzhou Uighurs, and not allowing them to endanger the interests of the Khitan, but their existence formed a containment of the rear of the Western Xia, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for the Khitan.
When he tried to marry the daughter of the Uighur Nightfall, he failed to do so, so they hated each other and refused to help each other. After two blows, the Ganzhou Uighurs were helpless and were finally wiped out by the Western Xia.
to Tibet itself.
The performance was strong enough to almost let Yuan Hao die by the Zongge River.
Originally, the upper hand, the son began to break up, Lao Tzu was supported by the Song Dynasty, and the eldest son and the second son were afraid that Lao Tzu would harm them, so they fell to Western Xia. even sat back and watched Wen Qiqi's son Yi Shi Jilu lead tens of thousands of people to secretly defect to Yuan Hao. This trouble, it's a fuss.
Nowadays, the six valleys are mostly occupied by the Tangut people, including half of Huizhou and most of Lanzhou.
In order to appease more Qiang and Tubo people to defect to Western Xia, Yuan Hao arranged Yishi Jilu in Lanzhou.
"Most of them are Tibetans?"
"Yes......" was so ashamed that he almost wanted to get into the cracks.
The Western Xia broke the six valleys, and the people fled to the territory of Tubo, and those who did not flee were in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
But the rebellion of the blind felt and the grinding felt horn made the people of the Liugu tribe become ignorant of what to do, and the blind felt is the son of the manga, is there no more? Coupled with the naked surrender of Yishi Jilu, everyone's will collapsed, and many Tubo of the Liugu Department have since become Yuan Hao's loyal lackeys.
"I didn't think of it either...... You come with me. After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he took the seed master Heng to Cage Pole City, and also summoned Di Qing to Cage Pole City to discuss matters.
Fan Zhongyan asked where the old seed was, and after the old seed completed the handover, he had not left Weizhou City.
By the way, Zhao Xun, Zhang Qi, and Wang Ji were also called over to discuss together.
Zheng Lang said: "The Western Xia Dynasty and the Lanzhou general Yi Shi Jilu built a big Agan village. β
"It can't be built, it can directly threaten the Deshun army." Zhang Qi said.
His ideas also represented those of most Song ministers. Seeing the Tangut people in Zhuan City, they all saw its threat to the Deshun army. Zheng Lang said: "General Zhang, not only is it a threat, Aganzhai is only more than seventy miles away from Niche Dragon Fort, as long as Aganzhai is expanded to accommodate more Western Xia soldiers and materials, then you can attack Niche Dragon Fort at any time." By capturing the Niche Dragon Fort, Western Xia could gain a lot of wealth, people, and land. A large area south of the Yellow River will be obtained by Yuan Hao, not only is it a threat, but the connection between Jingyuan Road and Tubo will be cut off, and the Deshun army's policy of changing the city will not be implemented. β
"Then let's fight!" Zhang Qi shouted.
"General Zhang, you can't be in a hurry, even if you fight, you have to fight rationally, last year I went out of the army, and I continued to wait and see, just taking this opportunity to pull him into the water."
Even if Zheng Lang makes a move, in order to survive in the cracks, he will continue to break the connection with Yuan Hao in the future.
The six of them sat down and discussed for a long time, and then made a plan.
It's not how good Zheng Lang's military talent is, he is definitely not as good as Lao Chong and Di Qing in military talent, or even as good as Zhao Xun, but his strategic vision is not as good as that of Li Yuanhao, and he is open with a golden finger, so Li Yuanhao is still very hard.
After the discussion, the battle of Agancheng was not taken to heart anymore.
Although the Tubo people are fierce, they have lost their fighting spirit, and they are no longer the Tubo warriors on the banks of the Zongge River.
It's just 10,000 people, Zheng Lang didn't care about it at all, what he cared about was how to use the aftermath of this battle to expand the fruits of victory.
walked out, breathed in the scent of spring, looked at the east, and thought to himself, Fubi, this time the main thing is to look at you.
Whether or not you can negotiate with the Khitan smoothly, the important surname is no less than the two battles of Shimenchuan.
β¦β¦
The Khitan national book arrived in the capital, the beginning was very polite, the younger brother of the Khitan Emperor to the book brother of the Great Song Emperor, Yue Zishi Xiuhuan Deed, when the envoy was sent.
The younger brother wrote a letter to the elder brother, and since the friendship between the two countries, he often sent envoys to the road.
It's a good thing, as long as he really doesn't fight, and can take care of his own rear and not let the Jurchens suffer, I'm afraid Zheng Lang doesn't want to take the risk of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
But split it to pick up the next sentence, cut the edge of the tile bridge Guannan is cut by Shi Jin, to the Chai family, once the mad conspiracy, plundering the ten counties of the homeland, people and gods are angry, the temple is not extended. As for your country, create a foundation, find a good neighbor. Ji Hu Taizong, in the land of conquest to determine and Fen, with an unknown division to the swallow thistle, feather to call the elite, the royal and retreated, so that there is a lot of labor in the realm, following the preparation of the Chongqing League, always repeated, before and after the taste. Stealing the trial of the generals, to the right of the Pinghe, the heat and cold are changed repeatedly, and the victory or defeat is not heard. and Li Yuanhao, who has been called in the Northern Dynasty for a long time, and he should be punished for his crimes, and it is also advisable to report it. Guo Zhi is special. Du Yu returned, although it had a slight sound topic, but Yu was a deceitful spy. The remnants of the people have been killed, and there was no suspicion of taboos, the battalion built a long embankment, filled the pass, opened the pond water, and added the border army. It is not only hidden in suspicion, but also difficult to believe in peace. If you think about it for a long time, you will have doubts together, and if you take the old attached area of Jinyang and the county of Guannan Yuan, you will return to the country and use the Kangli people! In this way, it will benefit the arms of brothers and keep the plan of children and grandchildren. Myanmar is enlightened and profound.
Starting from the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the emperor of the Han people, starting from Chai Rong, down to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Heng, they all did wrong. Our Khitan can't bear it, and quickly return the ten counties south of the three passes, such as Waqiao in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, to our Khitan, and I am still your good brother, don't pay it back...... You'll see!
Can the ten counties be returned?
I can't afford to lose this face in righteousness, and I can't afford to pay it back in terms of terrain.
Most of the sixteen states of Youyun are in the hands of the Khitans, but there are some mountains and rivers in Yizhou, and they can still block it, and when they reach the three passes of Hebei, all of them are plains, Yang Liulang has been operating for many years, digging trenches, and repairing the Green Great Wall, which can also block it.
Once the ten counties are returned to the Khitan, how much of the plains will be released?
A million troops stationed in it can't plug this leak.
When the national book arrived in the capital, Zhao Zhen couldn't eat. finally won a game, and immediately came a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The big guys are also beating fast.
When I thought about Taizong, I couldn't stand the Khitan and Western Xia joining forces, and tacitly watched Li Jiqian grow stronger and made peace with the Khitan. Besides, the party members are so strong that once the two sides go to war, all the bigwigs will break out in a cold sweat in the big spring.
Lu Yijian suddenly shouted, "Get the archive." β
The archive is the file of the various ministers, but when will the archive of that person? Lu Yijian was in a hurry, didn't make it clear, wiped a handful of sweat, and said: "Zheng Lang's archive, last year's Shimenchuan victory, the previous report before the capture of the prince of Western Xia. β
When I think about it, I'll bring it to me in a moment.
The above only said that after three years of war with Xia Kou, the strength of the two countries was lost, and the Khitan would move, and there was no courage to fight again, and blackmail would be carried out. The soldiers of the whole country of our dynasty are gathered in Jingyuan, and the Khitan has changed from deception to attack, and disaster will come to our court.
The troops in Hedong, Hebei could not be evacuated to prevent the Khitan.
At that time, several bigwigs only thought about this, and didn't notice the six words of extortion.
It's really blackmail.
Although Zheng Lang said that he had no courage to fight again, God knows if they would attack? If you really tear up the covenant and attack on a large scale, will you send two eunuchs to the Khitan to arrest the emperor of Liao and ask for guilt?
The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and although Zheng Lang used the word must, he also had some hypothetical taste.
Who would dare to bet?
In any case, you have to see the messenger to test the tone of the messenger.
Who can take on this task, Lu Yijian said: "Fu Bi." β
The minister in the DPRK was the most courageous, it was not Shi Jie, it was not Han Qi, it was not Fan Zhongyan, Kong Daofu, but Fu Bi. Zhao Zhen's divorce incident back then was the most ferocious and ruthless scolded by Fu Bi. Gotcha, you can use this ruthlessness to deal with the Khitans.
Zhao Zhen Xuanfu Bi entered the hall and entered the pair.
As soon as he said what he intended in the future, Fu Bi said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the minister does not dare to love him to death." β
Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, moved by it.
In a word, shame really came. Fu Bi arrived in Xiongzhou, and after waiting for nearly a month, Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu were late. Fu Bi and the lieutenant envoy went to greet him, but Xiao Temo sat with a grin, not standing up. Fu Bi didn't have anything, but the eunuch standing next to him was the envoy, representing Zhao Zhen.
Fu Bi didn't get angry, he just asked coldly, "Envoy Xiao, what are you doing?" β
Xiao Temo replied without yin or yang: "My feet hurt and I can't stand up." β
Fu Bi continued to say calmly: "I have also been an envoy to your Khitan before, I was sick at that time, but I can worship when I hear the order, and I will never be rude, and now the envoy is here, you say that you are sick, just sit like this, what is the etiquette?" β
Don't you Khitans have good feet, so you can only send a lame man to be a messenger?
The consequences were wonderful, Xiao Temo stood up, let the two of them support him, and kowtowed to the lieutenant envoy.
Therefore, Zheng Lang has always thought that Liao Xingzong is a good baby, even if he blackmails, he has to cheat out a gold content.
Anyway, the army is stationed outside Youzhou City, not far from Sanguan, by the way, come and sneak away, shouting a slogan, the Khitan is mighty, and the Khitan will win. Then he sent a shrewd and capable envoy to come, pretending to be forced all the way to the end, so many weak ministers in the Song Dynasty were so scared to pee their pants.
And yet?
In the first round, he let Fu Bi poke out their original form.
Fu Bi knew what he knew in his heart, but he didn't show it, and went all the way south, continuing to talk, and with his superb wisdom brain, he gradually got more secrets from the mouths of the two messengers.
When the envoy was brought to the city of Lanzhou, there was a reason for coming, that is, the Song Dynasty did not follow the rules, increased troops on the border, repaired forts, dug ditches, increased troops may not be, fort repair and ditching have been going on, both sides also know that even if the troops are increased, now the center of gravity of the Song Dynasty is in the northwest, and the increase is only the militia, which does not pose a threat.
This is called the sin of desire, and there is no excuse for it.
But the two envoys saw that the regular forbidden army was everywhere in the city of Lanzhou, and the streets and alleys were heavily guarded, what was going on?
Seeing Wang Deyong, the young hero of the past, was already gray at this time, the two envoys still wore a high hat, and said respectfully: "We have admired the name of Wang Xianggong for a long time, and this year's bumper harvest in Lanzhou is all due to your good governance." β
"We are the Son of Heaven Shengming, so we have bumper harvests year after year." After saying a word of malnutrition, Wang Deyong began to introduce them to the celebrities in the living room, all of whom were some famous generals, Wang Deyong said: "There is also Cheng Lin, the former prime minister of the Western Mansion, in the Daimyo Mansion, and the imperial court is ready to transfer the prime minister Chen Zhizhong to Qingzhou, but unfortunately he didn't come, otherwise I can still take you to meet him." By the way, the imperial court is going to transfer Zhang Kang to Sanguan, his surname is a little strange, I am worried, I am afraid that if he goes to Sanguan, there will be some misunderstanding with your country. β
"Who is Zhang Kang?" Liu Liufu asked.
Fu Bi suddenly thought of Zheng Lang's words, and he really came to blackmail, and he didn't even ask Zhang Kang!
Speechless.
Wang Deyong is getting old, and people are gradually becoming demons, so he calmed down and said calmly: "Your envoy, you don't even know Zhang Kang?" β
"I don't know, I only know the two Chen Xianggongs," Xiao Temo, daring him to confuse Cheng and Chen as one, saying that the two Chen Xianggongs.
Wang De talked in detail about the experience of World War II in the northwest last year, and the imperial court had this idea to prevent accidents, and planned to send Zhang Kang to the front line to prevent the Khitans from making any changes.
This fierce man is on the front line, and there are three prime ministers in the rear, regardless of military ability, but the status is noble, the Khitan wants to attack, there are fierce generals in front to stop him, and the three prime ministers in the back are on top again, and they want to attack, look at the city of Lanzhou, and don't make sure that your Khitans have no return.
This kind of negotiation is like a child in the player's house, but it is normal, for the military aspect, Zhao Zhen and Liao Xingzong can only play the player's house.
So he sat in the city of Lanzhou and talked again.
Okay, let's not Guannan Ten Counties, but you have to marry your princess of the Great Song Dynasty to our Khitan King Liang His Royal Highness Yelu Hongji, which is later known as Liao Daozong.
Fu Bi was almost fainted by the two Khitan envoys.
