From the invasion of Jiaozhi, there are three feasible roads, from Su Maoman's invasion of Qinzhou, from the Lang County, the invasion of Qiyuan Prefecture by the Jieli Pass, and a road on the west side, which is an ancient road, entering Guangyuan Prefecture, Jiaozhi is from this ancient road to defeat Nong Zhigao.\\

Later, Liu Ji, a local native, was appointed as the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture. However, Jiaozhi did not succeed, the leaders of the wet and stuffy caves and fire caves, Nong Zongdan, Nong Rixin father and son, the leader of the Lower Thunder Cave, Nong Zhihui, the leader of the Gubei Cave, Nong Jin'an and his son led the strong Ding to defend themselves, and the leaders of Rendong Nong Shunqing, the leader of Gongque Cave Nong Zhichun, the leader of Wuling Cave Ma Shunfu, the leader of Gunong Cave Nong Shizhong, the leader of Baxi Cave Lu Bao, the leader of Gulong Cave Ling Chongji, and the leaders of Guwandong were all dissatisfied with Liu Ji's control.

They don't have Nong Zhigao's ambitions, they just want to protect themselves, and after they arrived in Guangyuan Prefecture, they killed and poked cruelly, and after controlling them, they implemented harsh governance, which made them very dissatisfied. Because some soldiers were forced by Nong Zhigao to participate in the rebellion, they were killed one after another, and they were not interested in the Song Dynasty. However, they can still understand that the Song Dynasty was only gentle to them, and did not want to exploit them, they invaded the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not invade them. However they did not invade Cochin, it was Cochin that invaded them.

He is not interested in the Song Dynasty, but he is hateful to Jiaozhi.

As for most people's surnames Nong, the surname Nong may not be a family, Zheng Lang and Zheng Jian are both surnamed Zheng, is it a family? Although his surname is Nong, he has little to do with Nong Zhigao.

Therefore, as long as the three passes are held and Jiaozhi is forced to transfer the marching route to Guangyuan Prefecture, there will be a very interesting scene.

I don't want to talk about this road for the time being, and I want to invade the Song Dynasty from this road. It is necessary to take a detour, delay time, and after arriving in Guangyuan Prefecture, unless the Shuimen Pass is captured, it must be detoured to Hengshanzhai, and then enter Yongzhou from Hengshanzhai, and I don't know how many miles I have to travel.

The east side doesn't want either.

There are two roads to the east. One entered Ruxizhai to Qinzhou, losing its strategic significance. One from Sumao Prefecture into Luzhou, Ximen Prefecture, this road and the Decisive Pass. It is the road where Jiaozhi often invades the Song realm. There are two more evildoers, two cross-toed horses.

Li Gongyun married his daughter to Jia Chenggui, the leader of Jiatong, and named him the pastor of Langzhou. Let him decide on his own to break through the Taiping Village and plunder countless people. When Li Dezheng was in power, he asked Jia Shaotai, the son of Jia Chenggui, to marry his daughter Princess Pingyang, hereditary Langzhou Mu, as a pawn of the horse, led the barbarians to invade from Su Maoman, entered Luzhou and Xipingzhou, and after a plunder, supported the puppets of the three caves of Drought, Dafa and Wenxiang. Because the Song Dynasty didn't care, these tribes still hated the invasion of Jiaozhi again and again. Gradually, some tribes eventually defected to Cochin and became Cochin's lackeys.

But this road is not very ideal, not to mention that Zheng Lang strengthened Yongping Village in Luzhou and guarded the main road, which was also far away. And it's more rugged and difficult to navigate. It is okay for small-scale barbarians to invade, but now there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 20,000 barbarians recruited from Langzhou and other places, and nearly 20,000 civilians who escort supplies.

Outside the four avenues, there are a few trails. But that's not an option for the march of the army. Unfortunately, the terrain is all mountainous, which determines that there are not many roads to choose.

The only way is to storm the pass.

But Jiaozhi could not withstand the heavy losses caused by the strong attack.

However, this problem was solved by Wu Er.

The front line was quiet, and dozens of lightly armed Jiaozhi soldiers in the rear set off with warrants and burrowed into the dense mountain forest.

If you want the army to pass, you must take the decisive pass.

But if you are not afraid of the poisonous beasts in the mountains and forests, you are not afraid of the thorns everywhere to scratch your skin, and you are familiar with the mountain roads, and you have the ability to identify the direction in this dense and dark mountain forest, then you can sneak from this mountain forest to Guangyuan Prefecture.

It's just that there won't be many candidates who meet the requirements, and there will even be unnecessary casualties.

In the afternoon, Cochin went out again.

He also learned from Guo Kui, and picked up some of the filth used by women on the flagpole, and there were different big characters written on the flagpole, including Zhao, Song, Zheng, and Zhang. Zhao is the surname of the royal family Zhao, Song refers to the Song Dynasty, Zheng refers to Zheng Lang, and Zhang refers to Zhang Kang, and I thought that Zhang Kang led this cavalry to come.

Guo Kui looked at it and felt funny, you play yours, I am waiting for time, you play slowly, the longer you play, the better.

Ignored him at all.

Another group of Jiaozhi soldiers were naked, coming to do all kinds of provocative actions, insulting the Song soldiers in the city by the way. The diagram provoked the Song army to switch to battle.

It was to make some soldiers angry, but in the face of tens of thousands of troops, it was stupid to go to battle. If these people were not Li Jing's subordinates, 3,000 people could defeat more than 100,000 Turks and chase them for nearly 1,000 miles. You continue to play, anyway, this time the credit is not small, we are satisfied.

Seeing them scraping the noise below, Guo Kui thought about it and called a few of his subordinates to give a brief order.

After a while, the door closes and opens.

Wu Er was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his chair, thinking that the Song army was going to open the door to fight.

But he was extremely disappointed, and a few Song soldiers came out, but he brought a few jars of wine, came to the soldiers who shouted, and said: "My general said, you have been shouting for most of the day, and your throat is hoarse. It's too hard, so let's carry a few jars of wine to moisten your throat. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were sweating profusely.

Wu Er was also so angry that he was silent, he dared to love other people's mentality, he couldn't play anymore, and playing again was not to provoke others to fight, but to be embarrassed. Withdraw the banner and shout the soldiers. The Song soldiers who provoked the moment laughed together.

Pass the day in peace.

The next day, Jiaozhi still did not attack the city, but after this battle, it also made Jiaozhi vigilant, and if he wanted to attack the walled city of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid it was not as easy as imagined. Therefore, Li Rizun wrote a letter back, asking his father to urgently manufacture a batch of siege equipment and send it to the front line. And he offered a high reward for the scouts lurking in the Song Dynasty, trying to get the gunpowder formula.

In the evening, Guo Kui finally knew what the idea of the Jiaozhi people was fighting.

This morning, Menzhou rebelled against many barbarians in Qiyuan Prefecture, and it was not considered a rebellion, because no troops were sent, but they were gathering in Guangyuan Prefecture.

Yang Wenguang said: "They want to have a belly and back attack. ”

Guo Kui smiled.

It's impossible, and I'm here for only three days. If the day of the capture of the pass is also counted, it is already the fourth day. No, the three-day period has also expired. If you don't stick to it, if you stick to it, you will inevitably attack on your back, and your own army will be in danger.

After laughing, he said, "Seeing the fierceness of the Cochin army, I was a little worried at first. But thinking of Zheng Xianggong's plan this time. I now have more confidence. ”

It seems that all the measures of Jiaozhi, just like Zheng Lang saw it, he knew that some barbarians would inevitably cooperate with the Jiaozhi people. So give yourself only three days. Then he said: "It's a pity that I brought a lot of weapons." ”

When it comes to retreating, it is inconvenient to carry and must be destroyed.

Guo Kui was slightly in pain.

It's a strange battle. To this day, both sides are full of confidence.

The news soon spread to the capital.

This sudden war was not expected by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty at all.

Last year, Zheng Lang asked for money and asked for 14 million yuan. Because there was no war, the country had a surplus again. This year, it seems to be even better. Jinghu South Road is basically completed, and there are still many miscellaneous things on Guangnan West Road, and Zheng Lang cannot be separated from Xiangshui for the time being. That is, Zheng Lang will not pay for the imperial court this year, on the contrary, there will be some good financial savings in Liangguang.

It seems that we are finally seeing the return on the huge investment of nearly 70 million. As a result, many ministers once again focused their attention on the Yellow River.

thought of Zheng Lang's plan, but just think about it, how much does it cost? 100 million or 200 million?

So he compromised, and thought of another way to stuff Shang Husi. This is also Wang Anshi's strategy in the future, re-excavating the Henglong River, that is, building a large river with a length of 1,000 miles, forcing the Yellow River to its original course.

Ouyang Xiu, who had returned to the capital, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The simplest algorithm, a thousand miles, wants to take into account the flood discharge navigation. At least a width of nearly 800 meters, and if you want to take into account that the river sand will settle in the future, let it be at least four meters deep. This is considered a substandard product. Even if you subtract half of the original river saving project, the amount of cubic meters is calculated in billions.

So Shang Song said that the ruling ministers (referring to Zheng Lang, Jia Changchao and Song Qi) did not think about auditing, and planned to repair the Shanghu, Fan Ke with 18 million, and rioted the six roads and millions of state troops. The officials urged and drove away, were as anxious as sparks, wasted people's money, and collected grievances for the country. Now I heard about the battle of repairing the river, and planned to gather 300,000 people to open more than 1,000 miles of the river, counting the material resources used, several times that of previous years (about Ouyang Xiu's arithmetic was not calculated well, and no specific data was given).

There are five indispensable, from autumn to spring last year, the world suffered from drought, especially in Jingdong, followed by Hebei. The state should be quiet, and the people should be afraid of thieves, and the public should gather in both directions and build a big battle. After the use of soldiers in Enzhou, Hebei Province, followed by the murderous year, the people went into exile, and for several years, they returned slightly, and the material resources were not filled. There was no rain and snow in Jingdong last winter, wheat did not grow seedlings, and it was close to spring. If 300,000 people are mobilized, the people will not be convinced, and the nearest two roads will not be responsible. In previous years, it was discussed that the river would be broken in Huazhou, and the materials should be stored to lure the people's wealth, and within a few years, they could only be put into service. In the past years, when the public and private forces were in place, it would take several years to build a big battle, but now when the treasury is insufficient, the torrent of the Hu and Sai Daduan; chisel Henglong, open the old road that has been abandoned for a long time; More than 1,000 miles from Henglong to the sea, the steep weir on the bank has been abandoned for a long time, and it must be repaired again, which is the three major battles. How can we raise the three major battles in times of disaster, drought and poverty? Even if there are sufficient financial resources, the road may not be opened. The flood of the obstacle has been fruitless for nine years, and Yu is sparse because of the flow of water, and the flood is resting. Now I want to go against the nature of the water, block it, and seize the positive flow of the flood river, so that the manpower will be reinjected, and the reason for violating the circulation of heaven is also. Henglongsai for 20 years, Shanghu decided for a few years, so the road has been flat and difficult to chisel, and it has been difficult to return to Anliu for a long time, and it is not possible.

Speaking of which, it was Zheng Lang who spent a lot of money in the south, and the treasury was not as full as before Zheng Lang went south, so Ouyang Xiu was not at ease.

After the performance, controversy began.

In fact, this letter laid the fuse for a major event in the future.

Zheng Lang's plan is too big to be implemented, and it is not possible to build a thousand-mile-long Yellow River, and he can't let this merchant nonsense flow vigorously, what should he do. The Six Towers River came out.

Just when Ouyang Xiu was holding his elbows and arguing with the ministers for a red face and a thick neck, the two southern letters arrived in Beijing one after another.

Zheng Lang said very simply, the whole army of Jiaozhi came to attack, in a hurry, the minister had to respond to the battle first, and then played, and asked Zhang Yu to lead 8,000 soldiers and 10 battalions of officers and soldiers in Tanzhou to help, please forgive your majesty for the sins of the ministers.

And then there was nothing. He did not ask the imperial court for reinforcements, nor did he ask for support from materials, weapons, money, and silk.

This letter made the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs silent.

Cochin's invasion of the south is very common, with a major or minor invasion almost every three or two years over the years. Send an envoy to ask, it was a barbarian invasion, and it has nothing to do with us. Don't blame us for Jiaozhi, just ask you if the Song Dynasty is big. Can you manage all the barbarians?

But there has never been a national invasion.

Some ministers reacted quickly, and they had already imagined that nearly 100,000 Jiaozhi troops would enter Yongzhou from the border and then enter Liangguang. All the way to Guangzhou, all the way to burning, killing and looting, the scene of the people's lives being miserable.

Cheng Jian couldn't help but groan: "Seventy million dollars." ”

This is a waste. Seventy million dollars is a waste.

Later, Yu Jing's fast performance also arrived in the capital.

He said in detail, Qinlian and Erzhou were in danger, and 40,000 Jiaozhi soldiers were brought in from the land, not only 40,000 regular Jiaozhi soldiers, but also tens of thousands of barbarian armies mixed in, and I don't know how many enemy troops will eventually join.

However, so far, the ministers did not know Zheng Lang's plan and arrangement, so they only obeyed the mobilization of the front-line generals in Guizhou and sent supplies. The troops of Liangguang were insufficient, and Zheng Lang encouraged the people to join the army, and the ministers were very suspicious. How powerful the temporary army organized by the people was, and the repeated failures in the battle with Nong Zhigao's army can be seen, and the army is far stronger than Nong Zhigao's rebels.

In a word. The situation is very dangerous, if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me, and Zheng Lang will exclude me from the whole plan.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was getting stronger.

For example, the drought since last winter was very severe in the past, but now almost everyone does not feel the urgency. Without him, there is plenty of grain in the warehouse. If Zheng Lang can get his wish, develop the Xiangshui Basin, solve many problems in the four roads of Kuixia, and make a safe transition for 20 years, in these 20 years, solve the Western Xia, recover the 16 states of Youyun, the Song Dynasty may really create a diamond age, and even remove some drawbacks, scientific progress, and scientific and technological power to release the productive forces, then in this feudal and backward dynasty, a great miracle will be realized, and the two taxes will be exempted. There was no tax, the peasants had no burden, and the landlords were asked how to annex.

But it is impossible to achieve.

But it is undeniable that the Song dynasty became stronger, or at least richer.

But now it's fragile.

Like this Jiaozhi invasion, if it survives, the Song Dynasty will step onto a new level, and if it can't survive, not only will the 70 million yuan be wasted, but it will also lead to a series of bad consequences.

Vuir's strong demand for troops was strategically correct. As soon as the south is strong, after Jiaozhi, he will not have the opportunity to be rampant for a while, and he can only be a good grandson. However, whether it can outmaneuver the Song Dynasty in tactics is still undecided.

Most ministers are also aware of the problem. But Zheng Lang didn't say anything on the fold, how to judge?

Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of someone, Di Qing.

Summoned Di Qing to inquire.

Di Qing had already faintly judged Zheng Lang's plan from the twists and turns.

Moreover, this plan is based on the sentence he said, but I remember how the Tang Dynasty defeated Goryeo, and the plan was formulated around this sentence.

But he didn't say that Jiaozhi was the same as Western Xia, and the scouts were too powerful, maybe he could know about it in Jiaozhi in the far south. And I have been staying in the privy envoy for a long time, and I finally saw how powerful this group of civil servants fought in the nest.

also replied, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe Zheng Xiangguild will give Your Majesty a big surprise." ”

"What's the surprise."

"As a ruler, the minister cannot bewitch the public. In a few days, news from the front will come so that the minister can give His Majesty an accurate answer. ”

Like Zheng Lang, it is equivalent to not saying.

Zhao Zhen stared at Di Qing with his eyes, Di Qing didn't dare to look at each other, so he lowered his head. The ministers also talked about it, and Zhao Zhen asked everyone to step down. That night, Zhao Zhen summoned Di Qing back to the inner hall, asked the left and right to retreat, and said, "Di Qing, you can talk about it now." ”

Di Qing made Zhao Zhen helpless and said his conjecture.

Zhao Zhen took the map, looked at it for most of the day, and wiped his sweat. He stared at Di Qing again and asked, "It's too risky, can you succeed?" ”

"I thought it would be successful." Di Qing retreated after speaking, he was also wiping his sweat, he came up with this plan at the beginning, if he said it, God knows what the emperor's expression would be.

The two copies of the folds made the ministers of the court stop arguing, and together they turned their attention to the south.

Another day passed.

Guo Kui has already completed the task.

Menzhou and the others gathered more than 10,000 troops and rushed towards the Duli Pass.

The next morning, the weapons that were inconvenient to carry were destroyed together, and the gunpowder transported was concentrated, and a long cable fire line was made, which was pulled to Guanbei, and then stood at the pass and shouted to the Jiaozhi people: "We are leaving, if you don't chase after us, we will retreat calmly." ”

Let the soldiers get on the horse, then open the door and close, and take the soldiers not to retreat immediately, but to find a big speaker, no electronic equipment, the sound amplification effect is not very good, not only is it big and clumsy, but the amplification distance is also short. However, it can be heard by the former army of Jiaozhi in Kannan.

"We're really leaving, if you don't chase after us, you won't be able to catch up, do you dare not chase after watching us shoot or kill more than 5,000 of your soldiers?"

"You are seventy or eighty thousand people (including the calculation of the people), we only have more than 3,000 soldiers, you don't dare to chase, and you still want to invade our Song Dynasty?"

“……”

“……”

knew that it was intended to provoke anger, but Wu Er and Li Changjie looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Song Jun's gourd. However, if this kind of humiliation continues, it will be a serious blow to morale.

After a brief discussion, a thousand cavalry, also pseudo-cavalry, were allocated to pursue first, entangled the Song army, and then the army swarmed up and annihilated these Song troops. It just can't be entangled, drag on for a while, wait for the arrival of the barbarians in the south, and attack from both sides. Anyway, these 4,000 Song troops can't let go.

A thousand horsemen quickly rushed into the level, and the fuse was lit on the other side.

Quickly creep over the wall and into a large, deliberately sealed house.

A small number of Jiaozhi cavalry have already rushed out of the North Pass Gate, and the two gates are wide open, only the pass, not the city, and they can see it very clearly. Suddenly, a loud bang came out, and Ruoda Duli Pass began to collapse from the middle, and there was not much gunpowder with it, and the method of using it was not very good, but it was enough. The middle checkpoints all collapsed, and nearly 100 Cochin cavalry were buried by the collapsed soil, and it is estimated that nine out of ten will have no life. Guo Kui gave an order, the three armies turned their horses back, and dozens of Jiaozhi cavalry stood stupidly.

Separated by a large pile of collapsed mud and buildings, the Song army slaughtered these dozens of Jiaozhi soldiers.

Li Rizun was so angry that he ignored the status of the crown prince and scolded his mother.

Guo Kui calmly watched the Jiaozhi people carry mud and stones in the south, and then turned his horse and led the army north.

Out of the pass, when I arrived in the open area, I happened to meet the barbarians who were rushing south. The brute is very brave in terms of individuals, but now the various departments are united, and there is no strong figure to lead it, and it is a mess.

Anyway, where are the Jiaozhi people moving mud and stones, and if they don't move it, they can't really do it, how can they walk over? There is time.

Seeing this ragtag army, Guo Kui shouted: "Rush! ”

This time in the south, from ambush warfare to defensive warfare, the victory was extremely glorious, and it was necessary to have a strategy and strategy, to be bloody and bloody, and when morale was booming.

The 3,700 Song army rushed into the barbarian army like a wolf.

Quickly killed a pair of piercings.

Then turn the horse back, and each of the four generals will lead a line, separating a straight line from the middle, one south and one north. After drawing two beautiful circles, more than 10,000 barbarians cried and called for their mothers, and they ran around one by one. In the first battle, more than 2,000 barbarians were killed. If there is enough time to catch up, the results can be expanded.

However, it is estimated that there is no time, and Guo Kui is very steady with his troops, and he did not chase after him, but withdrew to Zhennan Pass.

It was a retreat, but four battles before and after, the victory was very glorious, and finally someone passed the title of the tiger horse, so Zhao Zhen personally named the tiger horse battalion.

In the afternoon, I calmly entered the south pass of the town.

This also meant that the southward tribes, including Menzhou, Qiyuanzhou, and Guangyuanzhou, were completely discarded by the Song dynasty.

The Battle of Yongzhou Sanguan entered the second stage. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
