Wen Nezhiying was still silent.

The main thing is that he lost too badly, it's a man, and they all have a good face, and this face can't be wiped off.

He Bin shouted: "Leader Wen, are you still obsessed? I only have 5,000 soldiers here, but behind me are 40,000 Song troops, there are more than 300,000 soldiers in the entire northwest, there are more than 600,000 forbidden soldiers in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and there are 2 million soldiers in the Fan Township and all kinds of strong Ding Baoding archers. ”

That's not how the accounts are calculated.

But just look at the superficial phenomenon is so, the Song Dynasty did a good job, although it was defeated, it was mostly a battle of expulsion, Wen's sacrifice was not much, the wounded soldiers were left behind, and the sacrifice was less than a thousand people, and there were not many soldiers who died in the offensive and defensive battles in these two days, if it were not for the mercy of the Song army's subordinates, the Song army desperately followed up when the defeat was defeated, and it was possible that Wen's men suffered 120,000 casualties. Of course, He Bin came mainly to appease, and the battle was a deterrent, and he didn't want to cause more casualties, so Liangzi was settled. But at least the Song army stopped in time, did not chase, and treated the wounded soldiers in time, in order to prevent wound infection, He Bin also asked the medical soldiers to take out the more expensive industrial alcohol to wash the wounds of the wounded soldiers in Tibet, and everything the Song Dynasty did now seems to be the legendary army of the king. Mighty, benevolent.

Wen Nezhiying no longer had any reason to disagree, and asked hoarsely: "Why do you want to fight?" ”

"Leader Wen, I gave you three times to prepare, and also talked about the governance policy of the imperial court, why do you still have to fight after three hours?"

"But, but," Wen Nezhiying was going to vomit blood, you said three hours of preparation, and that preparation refers to preparing for battle, not preparing for peace or war. But he looked left and right, and there were some leaders who were loyal to him to accompany him, but there was no fighting spirit in his eyes.

Wen Nezhiying said helplessly: "It's okay to let me be obedient, but I am a descendant of Tubo." My army will not be used to conquer Zongor City. ”

"Don't worry. I fought with Dong Yu. It won't embarrass you, you can rest assured that you will be on the wall. However, in addition to the descendants of Zampu, you must appropriately transfer some troops to cooperate with our DPRK operation. If you have something, you must pay something. ”

"Okay."

On June 20 of the seventh year of Xining, Wen Nezhi Yingcheng Si led 28 troops and 40 people from Gumiaochuan to surrender to the Song Dynasty. After hearing the news, the imperial court immediately conferred official positions on the five descendants of the Wen family, and gave many rewards. This reward does not include the Waiting Plan. This was the surrender of the second largest force in Huangzhou, and history finally slowly turned a new page.

Before the pages of this history are opened, the dawn has not yet come, and the light of day is still dark.

Wang Shao's army quickly arrived at Gumiao River, and then sent Miao Zhu to attack Huangshui Canyon to take this natural danger, and the army slowly went west to Huangzhou City.

In the city of Zongge, the Tibetan nobles were in a mess after hearing about it.

Not all the Tibetan nobles wanted to be enemies of the Song Dynasty, and before the ghost chapter sent troops, some nobles were opposed. It was believed that it could not be an enemy of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty had also sent an envoy to inform it in advance. The Song Dynasty would only use troops against Hexi, and it would not work without soldiers, so Mu Zheng gradually defected to Western Xia, and cooperated with the Western Xia people to send Tubo to invade and harass Qinzhou many times. However, the Song Dynasty was too strong, and the voice of this faction was very weak, so the ghost chapter was able to send troops.

The Song Dynasty really began to use troops in Huangzhou, and the voice of this faction became louder again.

Ghost Zhang listened to their noise and sneered: "In the battle of Gu Miaochuan, did the Song Dynasty win by strength?" ”

will not be as good as the Song generals, what command experience does Wen Nezhiying have, several generals in the Song Dynasty are tiger generals, veterans and Bin have been on the battlefield for a long time, or Miao Zhi is the killing god, and that Guo Cheng is not to be underestimated. Regardless of the general's proposal, the command experience is far beyond that of Wennezhiying.

There are also the previous words and arrangements, so that the morale of Wen Nezhiying's subordinates has been lost, not to mention more than 5,000 elites of the Song Dynasty, even ordinary 5,000 Song soldiers, in that case, they can easily defeat Wennezhiying's subordinates.

The result of this battle is not a true portrayal of the combat effectiveness of Song Fan's soldiers.

It's a pity that no matter what he says, many people don't listen.

It's not that I can't listen, it's that I don't understand. Most people just saw that the king of the Song Dynasty was benevolent and powerful. Hit more with less, win incomparably clean.

Helpless, Ghost Zhang had no choice but to reveal the next military arrangement, and said: "Even if it is peace, it can't be peace like this, and it can only be made after defeating the Song army." ”

"How to beat?" Dong Yu asked.

"Bajin Fort, Grain Road!"

The Song Dynasty not only wanted to defeat the Dong Yu tribes, but also wanted to occupy this land, so after the troops were out, they implemented many benevolent policies, including not killing prisoners, not harassing the people, and even after receiving the Wen's grain and grass materials, they were all returned except for military use, including cattle, horses and sheep, and the grain used was also repaid with equivalent materials. This series of benevolent policies, coupled with the unclear plan of the Emperor, caused many tribes to fall to the Song Dynasty. But there was a bad consequence, and it also had some constraints on the deployment of the Song army.

For example, in Bajin Fort, Guo Cheng acted quickly and disarmed the soldiers in the fort, but there were still many people in the fort, as well as some soldiers from the original residents of the fort.

The Song Dynasty went west to use both grace and power, and the battle of Gu Miaochuan is a good portrayal, why fight, not as He Bin said, but to show the Wen clan the powerful force of the Song army, the Tubo people are noble, and they are also noble, and it is not necessarily a good thing to be too soft. The combination of grace and power further accelerated the defection of various ministries.

This is the general direction, and the small direction is that under the ferocious killing of the Song army, the Tubo people have suffered a large number of casualties.

Some families who have died of relatives must have a grudge against the Song Dynasty, and there are also in Bajin Fort. Only to win over, when the Song army marched under the city of Huangzhou, when the whip was beyond the reach, a surprise army came out of Kuozhou, directly under Ba Jin Fort, and the inside and outside should be combined, and Ba Jin Fort was taken in one fell swoop.

Then it is to send a strong army to attack the supplies of the Song Dynasty. When they arrived in Huangzhou, it was 40,000 Song troops, and only a small amount of grain and grass in Miaochuan City was not enough, and the Song Dynasty had to transport a large amount of grain and grass from the rear. When the supply army reached the edge of Michuan, a surprise army attacked Ba Jinbao, and a strong army attacked the supplies of the Song Dynasty.

The Song army will be short of food, locked in a radius of 200 miles, once it can't eat enough, that is, the Song army is as strong as the Han and Tang armies, and the army's morale will inevitably collapse.

When the time comes, there will be war and peace, all under the control of the Tubo people. Even if it is harmony, it will be a decent harmony. Just like the Song Dynasty did with the Khitan and Western Xia people. That is, the Song Dynasty wanted the Tubo people. New Year's coins must be taken out every year. He begged the Tibetans to make peace with the Song Dynasty.

The ghost chapter slowly revealed the plan, and many people pondered.

It seems to be a good plan, the more the Song army goes west, the longer the battle line will be. The more difficult it is to supply. Historically, logistics supply was also an important reason for the failure of the Five Routes to defeat Western Xia, but this problem will be more serious in Huangzhou, because the roads are more difficult to walk.

What the ghost chapter said is not unreasonable.

The Song Dynasty had few troops and was constrained by grain and grass. It also made it impossible for the Song Dynasty to send more troops. And we must be benevolent and righteous, and we must not wantonly capture from the local area, and even more infinitely magnify this defect.

Ghost Zhang said again: "Besides, there is also Western Xia. ”

Dong Yu was silent, and the people of Western Xia may not have any good intentions, but it is better than being destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

Let Ghost Zhang persuade, and most of the leaders agree to the decisive battle again. As for Dong Yu himself, not to mention, Dong Yu has four wives, and the Khitan princess Ling Jiemo is not the same thing, and she has become the second princess of Xingping. There are also Xinmu and Dong, these two wives are the result of political affiliation. The effect is very significant, and the Dong clan and the Xinmu clan have always surrounded Dong Yu. Finally, there was his Uighur wife. The reason why Ali Gu was made his adopted son was not that Ali Gu was brave and good at fighting, and there were not too many Tubo people who were brave and good at fighting, but because of the beauty of this Uighur wife, which was very popular with Dong Yu.

He Bin threw out Ali's identity in front of many Wen clan leaders, and many Tubo people were also unconvinced. The two leaders of the Wen family, the first is Wen Ne Zhiyingcheng four, the second is Wen Xixin, Wen Ne Zhiying controls the twenty-eight clans of the Wen family, Wen Xixin controls the eight tribes, wandering away from the western edge of the ancient Miao River, Wen Ne Zhiying and the Song army battled, at first it was just to deal with less than a thousand Song troops, Wen Xixin did not participate, and later He Bin came, Wen Xixin did not react, Wen Ne Zhiying was defeated, Wang Shao's army then arrived, and Wen Xixin also surrendered.

In fact, many tribes surrendered, one is that the Song army is too strong, and the other is the identity of Ali Gu, which makes Tubo have no cohesion.

As Ali Gu's mother, she didn't think so, she relied on her own favor, complained arrogantly in Dong Yu's arms, and the ghost chapter seemed to be reasonable, which finally made Dong Yu make up her mind to fight with the Song Dynasty.

Since there was a war, Dong Yu once again sent an envoy to ask the Western Xia people for help.

Liang received a call for help from Dong Yu's envoy and immediately replied that Western Xia would send an army of 150,000 to help Tibet.

Wei Minglang met and found Liang again.

Forced to desperation.

What he hopes most is for the Khitan to send troops to exert pressure, so there will be no problems.

Guan Jian Khitan is in power is Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie, the two bastards, if you talk about the art of power and strategy, the two are no less than Li Linfu, but in terms of diplomacy and military, they are not as good as Han Qi Wen Yanbo.

One is to get a lot of benefits from the Song Dynasty, and the two are greedy and spend their eyes on these jewelry fans.

The second is that they are also afraid of accidents, and the Song Dynasty gave benefits while acquiescing to the Khitan taking advantage of some advantages in Hedong, and Liwei was enough. If it is to send troops to exert pressure, it will not start a war, and in some respects it will also violate the alliance signed between Song Renzong and Liao Xingzong. One of the covenants was that the two countries were not allowed to build any fortifications on the border for any reason, and to send additional troops. If you send troops to exert pressure, it will be self-defeating if you don't do it well. The Prime Minister Zheng of the Song Dynasty was very strong. They don't dare to bet.

The third is Tibet, not Western Xia, if it is Western Xia, it is possible that the Khitan will send troops to exert pressure, but what does Tubo have to do with the Khitan? Moreover, Dong Yu's abuse of the Khitan princess also made many Khitan people dissatisfied. As the first powerful country in Langyang, the Khitan was humiliated by Li Yuanhao, and the second daughter was humiliated by Dong Yu, which became the laughing stock of many people. Even in Western Xia, if it is not life and death, the Khitan may not send troops to help this country with wolf ambitions.

For all these considerations, Yelu Yixin did not refuse the request of the Tanguts, nor did he reply.

In fact, there is no hope for Wei Minglangyu, and by the time the Khitans figure out the joint, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty would have settled down in the Huangzhou region long ago.

So Wei Minglang Yu said to Liang: "Queen Mother, if our country uses troops, please send troops from Lanzhou and go straight to Miaochuan." ”

"Uncle Wang, you are stupid, the main force of the Song army is in Miaochuan, don't let them and the Tubo people consume, do you want our army to die for Tubo?" Liang said disdainfully.

Wei Minglang said: "If not, the Queen Mother, my country will perish." ”

"Uncle Wang, what is your intention in repeatedly dissuading you?" After Liang finished speaking, he sent someone to expel Wei Minglangyu and put him under house arrest.

It's the beginning of July.

Zheng Lang asked quickly, and there was another reason, to fight the Tubo people in the summer. At least the weather had no effect on the Song army. If it's winter. The Huangzhou area will be very cold, and there will be not only a slight sea reaction at that time, but also the impact of the cold, which will be very unfavorable to the Song army.

And then another reason. Zheng Lang couldn't say why.

That's domestic.

Zheng Lang also rejects and suppresses Haoqiang and divides up the land, if he really does this in the feudal era, the Daluo Immortal will be finished when he comes. But although he does not reject the suppression of Haoqiang. However, he advocated opposing serious annexation and giving the poor people a glimmer of life. In fact, this made some Haoqiang very disgusted. Fortunately, there are the profits of the prisons, and the fact that there is a crisis in the country, so that the opposition of this part is gradually weakened.

The second is the dispute between the North and the South.

The Song Dynasty started from the north, so the Shuo Party was very powerful, and the so-called Shuo Party refers to the scholars north of the Yellow River. In history, the Shu Party Luo Party put itself in the ranks of the conservative party, and after the new party suppressed it, Cheng Xi saw that the Empress Dowager Gao liked Su Dongpo, and used Su Dongpo's imperial examination question "The current imperial court wants to be loyal to the master of Renzong." Afraid that hundreds of officials will not raise their duties or as for their wives, they want the encouragement of the Fa Shen Sect. I am afraid that the Supervision Department will not know its meaning and will make a fuss, and join forces with Jia Yi and Zhu Guangting to suppress Su Dongpo and Lu Tao, and the two parties will fight to the core, but one, two, three will let the Shuo party reshuffle.

Not only southerners, but also Henan and Sichuan people also want to enter this political decision-making circle!

This is certainly a serious obstacle to the country.

Especially after the imperial examination, although the southerners were not as powerful as the northern scholars, many southerners entered the political, military, and financial circles. Zheng Lang, as a native of Henan, also resented the Shuo Party's desire to become dominant, and as an important minister of the country, he was even more disgusted with the ambition of the Shuo Party. Therefore, it is proposed that the north and the south should not regard people as regions and townships as parties.

And his students include Lu Gongshu from the Shuo Party, Sima Guang, Xiao Su from the Shu Party, Yan Rong from the Luo Party, Er Fan, who has never figured out his identity, and Wang Anshi of the New Party, buffered this contradiction.

But the rise of the actual southerners has given the Shuo party a deep sense of loss.

This is the reason why the situation and crisis of the country have been alleviated since the implementation of the new law, and if it were not for the heavy debt, the country seems to be very strong, but the opposition is still unheard.

If you drag it out for a long time and are not in the court, it will bring about some very bad changes.

This Wang Shao doesn't understand, Zheng Lang wants to be fast, and he also likes to be fast.

The army quickly came from the Huangshui Gorge to the city of Huangzhou. The Tubo people have long been prepared, first slowly retreated the people to Zongge City, and then dug the ditch deeply, just in June the water is big, after dredging, the moat is wider and deeper. This was done because the Tubo people were afraid that the Song Dynasty would dig tunnels and blow down the city walls with fire.

Wang Shao came to the Nanshan of Huangzhou City, looked down for a while, and ordered all more than 100 artillery pieces to be dragged over and shot at the Tubo people on the city. Then let tens of thousands of Song troops use artillery fire to cover and throw mud into the moat.

In the first three days, the Tibetans fought very badly, and in the face of this weapon beyond the development of history, the Tubo people had no choice but to shrink behind the battlements. But just like that, many of the battlements were shelled off, causing heavy casualties to the Tibetans. Fortunately, the accuracy of the artillery was not high at this time, otherwise the morale of the city would have been low a long time ago.

Three days later, large sections of the moat were filled. Outside the city, the Song army began to dig tunnels, and the troops were too small, and the sacrifice of the assault would be very heavy, so they could only do this. Outside the city, the Song army was digging tunnels, and the Tubo people in the city were also digging trenches.

If you want to blow down the city wall, you must place the gunpowder coffin on the base point of the city wall, but dig a trench under the city wall, as long as you send troops to lie on the trench and eavesdrop, you can intercept and kill the Song army in the tunnel.

Wang Shao smiled, it seems that the Tubo people are very well prepared.

If the Tubo people were not prepared, Wang Shao would not mind blowing down the city wall and easily taking Huangzhou City. It doesn't matter if the Tibetans are prepared, they can make the Tibetans form a fatal illusion.

Since it is no longer possible to blow up the city wall, you can only storm it, Wang Shao called Guo Cheng: "Tonight I will send 3,000 soldiers to let you storm the enemy's water village, you must take it, and you will be punished." ”

After He Bin entered Miaochuan City last time, he beat Guo Chengsan badly, a full hundred rods, and Wang Shao deliberately instructed that he must be punished with a rod, if He Bin's subordinates are merciful, the consequences will be borne by He Bin. In fact, no one knows what Wang Shao is thinking. But if you don't have a heavy staff, this group of brave generals under your command is bigger than a brave thief, and if you learn from Guo Cheng one by one, you will have no way to command.

Guo Cheng replied, "Oh." ”

Night is coming, and the moon is on the east mountain.

When we reach Huangshui, the sea is higher, it seems that the sky is closer to the ground, the moon is also closer, and it is brighter, the moonlight is hazy, and the scenery is incomparably beautiful.

In order to cooperate with Guo Cheng's action, Wang Shao asked Wang Special to transfer the artillery battalion again and bombard Huangzhou City.

When the city was in a panic, Guo Cheng took some simple siege equipment to touch the water village, and after a bloody battle, two hours later, the Huangzhou Tubo water village changed hands.

Wang Shao asked the soldiers to cut off the water source from the water village to Huangzhou City, which would not make Huangzhou City fatal, but it would be difficult to use water for daily life. The Tibetans had to search for water in the city, digging wells and digging water. However, the terrain of Huangzhou City is very high, it is not easy to find a water source, so many people are in the city, every day to drink, boil, wash and wipe, must use a large amount of water, water is insufficient, and the morale in the city is slowly a little low.

After three more days of sleepiness, Wang Shao finally gave the order to launch a general attack on Huangzhou. (To be continued.) )
