Zhao Zhen and his ministers waited until the evening and were preparing to disperse the court, when Zheng Lang hurriedly sent it to the capital.

Great victory, the ministers were overjoyed, how hard this battle was fought, not only on the front line, but also not many soldiers actually sacrificed, Liu Ping was less than 10,000 people, Ren Fu 10,000 people, and other fragments 10,000 people sacrificed.

For a country with a population of nearly 100 million and more than a million troops, this sacrifice is within the limits of tolerance.

In the rear, Zheng Lang said that Xiao He's merit was an exaggeration, but in order to prepare for the materials and salaries in the northwest, almost all the ministers racked their brains.

However, there is no bright color, how can people not be discouraged?

The fold also said about the mountain encounter, but between the lines, Zheng Lang's intentions were also seen, the past has passed, and it should be regarded as a follow-up. Zheng Lang played the eight words in the fold. The past is settled, but the future should be taken as a warning. Discussion is a sharp weapon, and we can no longer be reckless and secretly seek peace. If it weren't for the upper and lower levels holding this mentality, how would Guo Quan do this kind of-a-thud thing that is no longer staying?

Zheng Lang still felt very pity, saying that the wrongs of the mountain encounter, the fierce loyalty to our dynasty, Han Zhou was held for thousands of miles, calling all the way, and the clouds were miserable, and his injustice made the world obscure.

Zhao Zhen couldn't say anything when he read this.

Zheng Lang said very fairly, Guo persuaded Li Wei to be the culprit of the crime, and his mentality with the prime minister was not good, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened. So he issued an edict to chase the mountain and meet Weiliang as the Duke of Baoguo, and the Song Dynasty system was sealed but not alive. A dead person can be crowned a king, but it is difficult for a living person to be crowned.

The family is dead, and it doesn't matter what kind of national prince is sealed.

However, Zheng Lang's mention of this matter made Zhao Zhen think of another person, Han Zhou. Why did this character appear in both incidents? What a provenance, this kid. No matter what, the edict demoted Han Zhou to Qiongzhou, not only Lingnan, but also Hainan.

Zheng Lang mainly said that he discussed and reconciled, which can be done slowly, until now, it took so much manpower and material resources, but it was played by a small Xixia, and finally heard the news of the great victory, Zhao Zhen issued an edict again: "Spread the edict to the world." ”

Let the common people also listen, our Song Dynasty won the battle. Finally, he asked: "Zhuqing, how does the prince of Western Xia arrange it?" ”

Still no one answered.

Zhao Zhen was helpless and looked at Yan Shu. You are the boss of Xifu, and Xifu is in charge of military affairs, so you have to speak.

Yan Shu was very hard, let him face the moon, sit on the balcony of the water pavilion, look at the little flowers, drink a little wine, and chant a few elegant and timeless small orders, which few people in the world can match. But in terms of military affairs, what does Yan Shu know? If you ask him, it's better to ask Ge Huaimin. Because they didn't understand, they thought that Ge Huaimin was the god of war of the Song Dynasty, and the second Cao Wei.

swept everyone and said hesitantly: "Or wait for Zheng Lang's battle to end, and see how to discuss the results?" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't have any good ideas, so he agreed.

Only two days later, Zheng Lang's first letter finally came to the capital slowly.

This memorabilia talks about the military arrangements and the ins and outs.

It turned out that since hearing the scout's report that it was possible that Yuan Hao would invade Fulin Road, the ministers of Jingyuan Road began to discuss this battle.

Several prime ministers were speechless when they saw the date of the recital, why did they use slow music to enter Beijing for such a big thing? Was it intentional? But can Zheng Lang use a hurry, first, it will affect the Battle of Fulin Road, and second, let these prime ministers discuss, I don't know if I can get a reply until that day, maybe it will be noisy, I didn't wait for the result, but the information was sent to Yuan Hao's desk.

Besides, there is not an inner attendant Li Zhengyuan by his side.

This is Zheng Lang taking the initiative to find a shield for himself. As for the eunuchs, there are now several bigwigs in the four roads, whether Pang Ji, or Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Zheng Lang, who puts the eunuchs in their eyes. Even if a character like Wang Yu comes to the edge of the four roads, he will let these four people torture to death.

But I also know why Zheng Lang said that catching the prince was an accident, and the plan was changed.

Seeing this, several bigwigs were all laughing and laughing.

Looking down, his face changed.

talked about the matter of the market, not only said the various disadvantages of the market, but also said that Sang Hongyang's even-loss method, don't treat it as a tiger, that is the Han Wu Emperor saw the country's financial difficulties, temporarily used the method of saving emergency and collecting wealth. In fact, why does history not say that this reform is a change and innovation, precisely because the surname is an emergency. In order to support the finances, the Song Dynasty increased commercial taxes and forcibly levied the surnames of large households. Once the crisis has passed, these decrees will be repealed in their entirety. Where do you say that you are as fierce as a tiger?

As with the border market, once the peace is made and the trade routes are reopened, the market must be abolished.

Tuntian is also a reason, Tuntian should not hold the idea of collecting money, its purpose should be to produce grain for Shaanxi, Shaanxi has enough grain, it is more worthy than collecting some land rent. Therefore, after a few years of tuns, after the local Fan households are familiar with farming, all of them will be handed over to the Fan households, and then they will be taught to read the books of the Han family and write the characters of the Han family, and after more than ten years, they will all be assimilated and become the real people of the Song Dynasty. It's a two-pronged solution.

It was written in great detail, and several bigwigs had nothing to say after reading it.

This is to be distinguished, otherwise under the bewitchment of Yang Kai, there have always been people in the court who have objections to the whereabouts of the city and funds, and it was not until the great victory came that all the voices were suppressed. But there is no guarantee that no one will not settle accounts after the autumn in the future.

It's the deed shares and Sanbaiqu again, and some people are also thinking about the deed shares, but they don't know if it's worth selling them. Zheng Lang once again made it clear here that it must be sold, and he was very suspicious of the state-run Zheng Lang and did not believe it. It is necessary for private individuals to keep half of the deed shares in order for the safety prison to be viable. It must be sold, but it must be sold for a good price, and gold cannot be sold as cabbage. Sanbaiqu must also be on the road, this battle will last for a long time, that is, peace, Shaanxi will also leave a large number of troops in the future, and the food problem must be solved, otherwise the state finances will not be able to bear it.

It's normal to talk about state affairs here, and Zheng Lang is also qualified to talk about these national affairs.

The next step is wrong, launch a fierce attack on Yang Kai.

Without Zheng Lang's proposal, some people in the court began to have doubts about Yang Kai, why did Taiyuan not send troops when Fulin Road hit this. After Gao Jixuan returned to Taiyuan, the imperial court immediately replaced Yang Kai with Gao Jixuan.

In the second year, Gao Jixuan died of illness, and no one was available in the imperial court, so he once again asked Yang Kai to appease and solicit envoys for Hedong Road, but no one saw through it. Yang Kai put forward six more things: first, the Chinese are not allowed to intervene in the military; 2. Qianlinzhou; 3. Engage in cheapness; Fourth, reduce the redundant soldiers; 5. Recruiting samurai; Sixth, special arrest assistance. and said that if he could use the words of his ministers, he would be commanded, otherwise he would not receive the command. also had to give up Fulin Road, the court did not agree, Yang Kai kept writing, so he stopped knowing Xingzhou. But he also said that he would report to the military in person and use this excuse to stay in the capital. Yuan Hao saw that the national strength of Western Xia was unbearable, begging for peace but unwilling to be a minister, Yang Kai also said that the imperial court had been fighting for many years, and the national strength was declining, so Yuan Hao's request should be temporarily agreed.

Western Xia can read power, and Yuan Hao can betray the Song Dynasty and claim to be Your Majesty.

This time, the gentlemen's party also saw through his true face, including Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang and others have written to impeach, Yang Kai is an official, not thinking of begging for thieves for the country, and helping Yuan Hao not to be a minister, the crime should be punished, His Majesty can't bear to poke, please transfer him out, it is not appropriate to stay in the capital. Zhao Zhen transferred him out, and Yang Kai continued to hum and chirp, unwilling to leave. Zhao Zhen was helpless, so he had to take out Ouyang Xiu and the others' recitals and show them to him, and you can explain it yourself.

However, Zhao Zhen has a serious masochistic mentality, the more the minister talks nonsense, he thinks that this person is bold and eloquent, and Yang Kai also belongs to this type, and he is always not evil to Yang Kai.

Zheng Lang is not very repulsed by this, there is love at the top, and there is investment at the bottom, which can also prove the wisdom of a king, and the person who likes to talk nonsense in the court is definitely not Yang Kai. But you can't play the whole country in the palm of your hand, not the country, but the emperor. So there is a sentence, gentleman, the king is also a son. Not the kind of gentleman Confucius said, but the emperor's father!

Behind is a stack of battle records recorded by Liu Zhen, only to the time of the first siege of Linzhou, but can you see the crisis of Fulin Road, Yuan Hao's personal expedition, hundreds of thousands of thousands, can it not be dangerous?

A few bigwigs didn't dare to slack off, Lu Yijian's face was serious, and he actually smiled in his heart. Well scolded, gentleman, the king is a son!

Spread this recital to the palace.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, his face was very displeased.

That gentleman's sentence was automatically skipped, and the performance of Fubi Shijie and others was far more intense than Zheng Lang's, and he didn't move much anger, he was still using what should be used, and he didn't use it when he shouldn't.

It was Yang Kai who was angry and deceived his superiors and subordinates.

When Zheng Lang was in the capital, Zhao Zhen asked Zheng Lang, how is Lu Yijian?

Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan were not at ease, the two formed a party, the emperor liked it, but he had to use it.

Fan Zhongyan's ability is a little smaller, but De Ying can reassure people, and the harm is not great. Lu Yijian has great ability, but he can't do it, he is greedy for power, and the last one worries him. Later, cutting his beard was Lu Yijian's dying and harmless, and Zhao Zhen remembered Lu Yijian's goodness. Therefore, with the appointment of Lu Yijian, Zhao Zhen had some shadows in his heart.

Zheng Lang said, what a villain.

Zhao Zhen asked again, what is the explanation.

Zheng Lang said that the villain on the virtue is a good minister of the country.

Zhao Zhen understood, and did not talk about Lu Yijian again.

No matter what the virtue is, Lu Yijian is doing things for the country, thinking about the country, not playing with the country.

After pacing in the palace for most of the day, Zhao Zhen issued an order to send people to carefully inspect the battle situation of Fulin Road, which is different from history, and several bosses in history have not performed well, and exaggerating the military exploits of Fulin Road may not be of much benefit, after all, the Zhe family is also a party member who is half free from the imperial court. However, the great victory of Jingyuan Road covered up the ugliness, and the victory of Fulin Road also removed the most important obstacles, and the meritorious ones could also be rewarded and spread. This is Zhao Zhen's balancing technique, and even Zheng Lang didn't expect it.

He also sent someone to ask why Yang Kai didn't fight.

It is said that it is okay to train troops, but Fulin Road has been fighting since the end of July, Yang Kai went to Taiyuan in August, and now it is about to be the middle of winter, where are your reinforcements?

……

This is belated justice.

At this time, another star is rising on Fulin Road.

He is not only a general, but also a handsome star, a real civil and military all-rounder, and a rare Confucian general. was wiped out by some people, otherwise this person's military talent might be far above Di Qing.

Zhang Kang.

Before the battle of the historical capture of Liulibao, Zhang Kang also launched a succession of battles, when the morale of the forbidden soldiers was aroused, Zhang Kang saw that the Western Xia army was not prepared, and there was a batch of autumn grain in Longmen Chuantun, so he sent the brave Zhang Qi to lead 900 people to defeat the Western Xia people, so that the Western Xia plundered the Longmen River autumn grain plan failed. Then he cooperated with Zhang Qizhu to counterattack the occupied Fengzhou, and after several battles, the Western Xia army was beheaded and captured nearly 10,000 people, and successfully recovered Fengzhou.

This action is a bit risky, but what should Zhang Kang do, he is almost alone, and no one knows about the bitterness in his heart, he can't say it, as soon as he says that the military heart of the three armies in Fuzhou will be scattered. If there is no Zheng Lang, he will be more depressed in the future, although he has military exploits, but he is not a military attaché, he is a genuine Jinshi, he has made such miraculous achievements, but he has been demoted, and later the highest official position is only a Meizhou defense envoy Zhendingfu Road Deputy Governor, and another person Yang Kai actually did the right advice doctor of Hanlin Bachelor, if it were not for old age, maybe he could be a prime minister to play. And he is not ashamed to regard himself as a soldier and has written many military books.

Can you read Yang's military book, it will kill people.

Zheng Lang's shot, Zhang Kang did not take risks, and chose a safe way of playing. His main duty is to drag, drag Yuan Hao's main army here, and give Zheng Lang time.

And he was sure in his heart, he didn't believe that Zheng Lang would not give him justice.

Shot at Liulibao, all the materials captured by Yuan Hao are here, and it is also to boost morale.

The Song army rushed into the Liuli Fort, at this time the Western Xia people were sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard the shouting and killing outside, Yebu Yishougui hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and went out to watch, and saw that the Song army was slaughtering his unprepared subordinates, only a few dozen steps away from him. Ignoring his subordinates, he immediately rode out and fled.

Zhang Kang took advantage of the situation to capture Sanzhai in a row, and this battle caused the Western Xia to kill more than 300 soldiers, and the rest fled. But tens of thousands of cattle, horses, alpacas, and countless supplies and grain were lost. Zhang Kang had no way to move away, so he drove the livestock into Fuzhou, and burned all the grain and Liulibao.

Next, Xuanwei Village was built in Butuogou, which is the difference between Pingxia City and Yongle City that Zheng Lang thought. Yongle City in front of the Yinzhou River, leaning on the Wuding River, there are countless roads attacked by the enemy, Pingxia City only has two roads of Beihulu River and Wuyan Gorge for the Western Xia army to choose, and the Song Dynasty has Tiansheng Village, Gaoping Village and other villages on the side, the material transportation is more circulating than the Western Xia, so the terrain of Pingxia City can hold on, Yongle City is not easy to hold.

Liuliubao is in the north of Fuzhou, the north is the Yellow River, and it is the Beihetao occupied by the Tangut people, so this village cannot be kept and must be burned. Xuanwei Village is different, it is connected to Fuzhou and can respond to each other, but it also blocks an important road for the Xixia people to march.

There are few bigwigs in the DPRK and China who can understand this kind of theory.

But a new crisis has arrived.

When Zheng Lang and Yeli met begging each other, the situation in Linzhou City was extremely bad, the city without water, the strange weather without rain and snow, was besieged for more than 20 days, and the thirst in the city was so thirsty that one or two of gold could only be exchanged for a glass of water!

Miao Jixuan sent a scout, and finally slowly hung down from the cliff in the back mountain, and came to Fuzhou to report the situation, your Fuzhou now has grain, meat, vegetables and water, what should we do? There was nothing, and some of the people died of happiness and thirst.

Zhang Kang sighed after hearing this, and then looked at the south, feeling a little resentful in his heart, Zheng Xingzhi, no matter where others are, I believe in you, it's been a few months, why don't you do it, do you really want all the soldiers of Fulin and Erzhou to die in battle to achieve your greatness?

had no choice but to transfer troops, with a total of only more than 3,000 people, which was also the largest force that Fuzhou could draw.

And although the other party let a few killing gods kill many people, the strength of the army is still close to 100,000.

In this way, more than 3,000 people took the materials on the road, not only to send these materials to Linzhou, but also to open a channel, so that the materials from Fuzhou can be sent to Linzhou in several batches, so that Linzhou can survive for a while.

The enemy came like a pack of wolves.

Fight all the way, fight all the way, just like this road does not seem to have a poor head.

More than 3,000 people came to Baiziqi with blood, and the Xixia people could not stop them all the way, so they gathered tens of thousands of cavalry in Baiziqi, waiting for work, and preparing to ambush with nearly ten times the strength.

The boundless Western Xia cavalry rushed up, and Zhang Kang quickly made a judgment in his mind. You can't escape, the enemy is a cavalry or a soldier, you are a foot soldier or a tired army, and you will die faster if you run away. can't escape, the soldiers and civilians of Linzhou are waiting for this batch of supplies to save their lives.

So he said to his subordinates: "We have fallen to the ground, and if we fight, we will live, otherwise, if we are slaughtered by thieves, no one will survive." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Kang's eyes narrowed, and at this time there was a north wind, and they came from Fuzhou, standing on the north side, and the wind blew, blowing a gust of dust and sand. It is definitely not as serious as the desert and the Gobi Desert, but it will cause some effects, such as Zhang Kang saw some Tangut people rubbing their eyes, and about the sand in their eyes.

Shouted: "Kill." ”

Song Jun didn't expect that it would be death anyway, so it was better to kill the surname Suo, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one.

The miracle of Rabbit River was staged again, with a slash and slaughter, tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry were actually killed again, and there were not many people who directly let the Song army kill, but many people ravaged each other and died, and more than 1,000 war horses were captured alone. Zhang Kang did not stop and launched an attack on Jianning Village in Western Xia, and the Western Xia army was invincible.

But after this battle, Zhang Kang had to stop and rest in Jianning Village.

I have fought all the way to now, and I have hardly rested, and if it weren't for the cold night, I would have to fight fiercely at night.

Almost all the soldiers ran out of physical strength.

Yuan Hao saw a bright spot, and he also accepted Yeli's battle report, the battle of Shimenchuan had not yet begun, and Yeli said some information, including Cheng Kexian's ambush in Sanying Mountain.

He was not in command on Jingyuan Road, and it was difficult to see anything from the battle report alone. Fan Zhongyan's dispatch of troops made him even more confused, since he sent troops from Huanzhou, then Fan Zhongyan did not dare to divide his troops to go to Jingyuan Road. Calculate the strength of the troops, all of them are in the field, and their 70,000 cavalry can't deal with 40,000 or thousands of Song Dynasty infantry troops?

In fact, the Jingyuan Road War was just a battle of blood feud, and it was not about his overall situation, and it was his dream to capture Fulin Road.

wrote a letter, instructing Ye Li to beg to be careful, and then turned his attention to the battle situation in front of him. Zhang Kang rested in Jianning Village, which was in line with his wishes. Yuanhao of Linzhou City has been regarded as a bag, but Fuzhou still has some troops and many supplies. Due to its own topography, it is extremely difficult to attack.

It is better to let Zhang Kang stay in Jianning Village, and use a small number of cavalry to constantly harass and make the Song army in Jianning feel threatened and dangerous, and not rush to kill them all, and use them to attract a steady stream of Fuzhou troops to come to help.

Then the main forces of Fuzhou will be concentrated at this one point.

As for Jianning Village, is it also called a village? The wall is also not as tall as a man, so what is the difference between fighting in the field? As long as the Song army is annihilated here, the troops of Fuzhou City are empty, what else will be used to defend it? The entire Linfu Road was also taken into his hands.

The officials and eunuchs sent by the imperial court to inquire about the battle on Fulin Road also rushed to Fuzhou at this time.

Zhi Jimin was a little angry in his heart, and the waiter asked where Zhang Kang was, and Zhi Jimin said: "He is in Jianning Village." ”

The chamberlain didn't know where Jianning Village was, thinking that it was a village in the hands of Song Jun, and said, "Can you take someone to take a look?" ”

You want to go by yourself, you can't blame me, Zhi Jimin said: "Okay." ”

A team of men and horses was sent to escort the chamberlain and officials to Jianning Village.

Zhang Kang also had resentment in his heart, thinking that he had fallen for Zheng Lang, so he didn't pay much attention to them, and after seeing that the team had rested for a few days, his spirit recovered, and he said, "Let's set off to Linzhou City again." ”

The chamberlain was startled and asked, "Go to Linzhou?" ”

"Hmm."

"How many thieves are there?"

"I don't know, close to 100,000 people."

"100,000 people...... I'm going back! The chamberlain suddenly looked at the more than 3,000 Song soldiers, and shouted loudly with weak legs.
