Chapter 154: Gamble Again
Shi Wei's intentions were naturally ill-intentioned, trying to trick Shi Niang into the house, and then committing "misdeeds".
Fan Peilan glanced at the messy scene in the room, and then thought of Shi Wei's underwear on the bed, thinking that if he was allowed to go in, he would naturally be even more ashamed to death when he saw such a scene.
Under the double humiliation, Fan Peilan hurriedly said: "Shiniang is fine, but I was a little tired from being woken up by you, so I will go to sleep first, Yuanzhi, you should also go to bed early." ”
She said that without waiting for Shi Wei to speak, she hurriedly entered the house and closed the door with her hand.
Shi Wei, who had bad intentions, was a little stunned for a while after eating this "closed door".
remembered that in the study at the beginning, Fan Peilan hid under the table to comfort herself, but it was very different from today's reserve, as if she hadn't seen her for a few days, and the master became like a little girl, but she became shy.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Shi Wei shook his head helplessly and smiled, so he had to go back to his room happily.
Although his conspiracy did not succeed, the ** battle with Lu Yuzhu also took away a lot of his journey.
That night, Shi Wei really slept peacefully.
In the next few days, Shi Wei stayed in the house to accompany the beautiful family in this house, and took time to come, and did not forget to visit Xiao Zhouhou, as well as Han Jing and Jingyu's master and apprentice.
And not long after his butt sat down, the holy decree was issued, ordering him to quickly lead the group doctor and go north to Zhending Mansion.
Shi Wei knew that the war against the Northern Han was about to start.
Sure enough, not long after Shi Wei received the order to go north, the Privy Council issued orders to send troops one after another, ordering the forbidden army of Zhulu to advance in the direction of the Northern Han Dynasty.
In September of that year, several large armies attacked the Northern Han Dynasty.
The imperial court took the general Pan Mei as the envoy of the northern road capital, and led several generals such as Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, and Liu Yu to lead the main army to attack Taiyuan City, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.
With the observation of Yunzhou, Guo Jin was deployed north of Taiyuan and Shiling Pass to block the Liao army that was moving south from Yunzhou to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty.
With Meng Xuanpu as the capital of soldiers and horses, he was stationed in Zhending Mansion to block the Liao army reinforced from the east.
At the same time, he ordered Hou Steep, the Hebei transport envoy, and Lei Dexiang, the transport envoy of the North Shaanxi Road, to take charge of the transfer of the east and west roads of Taiyuan, and transport grain and grass for the besieging army.
The army of all roads totaled about 200,000 people.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin, the Son of Heaven, also led a main force to Zhending Mansion in early September to contain the Liao army in Youzhou, so as to prevent it from coming to the west on a large scale or heading south.
In September, according to the custom, the imperial court will move to Luoyang, Xijing.
Before the Son of Heaven drove his own expedition, he ordered the King of Jin to stay in Bianjing, and ordered Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wugong County, to stay in Luoyang and sit in the rear to preside over the overall situation.
In the past, when Zhao Kuangyin personally conquered, he mostly left the king of Jin to sit in Beijing and supervise the country, but taking the opportunity of this expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin skillfully divided part of the power of the prison to Zhao Dezhao.
At the same time, because the imperial court had moved to Luoyang, most of the forbidden army followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Guangyi, who stayed in Bianjing, even if he wanted to take the opportunity to make any small moves, he couldn't make any waves.
After all the careful deployments, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to advance towards Taihang Mountain.
With the experience of Pingnantang last time, Shi Wei commanded the medical group this time, and it can be said that he is familiar with the road.
More than 100 imperial doctors were divided into several teams by him, and they followed several main forces with the army.
As for Shi Wei himself, as the head of the Hanlin Medical Officer and the head of the medical group, since the Son of Heaven wanted to recruit in person, he naturally had to go with him.
After the armies crossed the Yellow River to the north, they marched rapidly all the way, and the main force led by Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Zhending Mansion within five days.
When the news of the Song army's large-scale attack on Han came, the northern kingdom was shaken, and Liu Jiyuan, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, immediately sent people to ask for help from the Liao state.
The Liao State was also prepared for the Song Dynasty's attack on the Han Dynasty, and the Liao court immediately ordered Yelusha, the prime minister of Nanfu, to be the commander of the capital, and the king of Ji, Tar, to be the supervisor of the army, and led the troops first. Then with the king of the southern court, Yelu oblique, and the privy deputy envoy Yelu Mo only led the army to follow, reinforced from the east road. At the same time, he ordered Han Ling, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, to go south from Yunzhou.
All of a sudden, smoke erupted on the east line of the river.
The Liao cavalry went south very quickly, and when Shi Wei arrived at Zhending Mansion with the main force of 60,000 forbidden troops led by the Son of Heaven, he heard that Guo Jin's headquarters was north of Taiyuan, and the area around Baimaling had already met with the Liao army, and they were fighting fiercely.
Although Shi Wei was deeply admonished by the military strength of the Liao State, he was full of confidence in this war to wipe out the Northern Han.
The reason is very simple, Shi Wei has confidence in Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was carrying the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty to sweep away, and he came with a national army, and he planned carefully and deployed properly.
On the other hand, although the Liao people sent troops to help, it was obvious that the Liao side was not willing to engage in a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty for the sake of a Northern Han Dynasty.
If the Liao people really wanted to defend the Northern Han Dynasty to the death, they should adopt the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, send troops south from the direction of Youzhou, and take advantage of the cavalry on the plains to attack the Hebei states of the Great Song Dynasty.
And now, the Liao people did not move their troops in Youzhou, but only sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into the mountains east of Hedong, a move that has shown their timidity in not daring to confront the Song Dynasty head-on.
Shi Wei followed the royal car, and after arriving at Zhending Mansion, he did not move, and Zhao Kuangyin had to get the battle situation of Guo Jin's department before he could make the next deployment.
Shi Wei accompanied the army to the north this time, and did not bring any female dependents to serve, but he brought another person.
Yang Yanqi.
As a female general of the Yang Sect, her father and brother should be fighting a life-and-death battle with the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment.
Shi Wei brought her with him, one was to let her watch the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty with her own eyes, to watch her bet fail, and to use her to contain the Yang family at some point.
In the military tent, Shi Wei and Yang Yanqi sat opposite each other and drank.
Shi Wei drank heavily and ate meat, looking carefree.
Yang Yanqi frowned, and her face was full of worry.
Looking at Shi Wei's relieved look, Yang Yanqi couldn't help but say: "I see that you look like you are in your chest, do you really think that you can destroy my Han Kingdom?" ”
"What's there to worry about, if it weren't for the assistance of the Khitans, your Han Kingdom would have been wiped out hundreds of times."
Shi Wei chewed the chicken leg in his hand, spoke slurredly, and sandwiched a chicken leg for Yang Yanqi as he spoke, and said: "Come, eat more meat, you will have strength when you are full, and when the Han Kingdom surrenders, you can rush to see your father and brother." ”
Shi Wei's casual words made Yang Yanqi feel extremely harsh.
She snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Don't be too happy, even if my Han Kingdom relies on the Liao people, if you have the ability to win against the Liao people, why would you have been scared away by the Liao people in the early years." ”
Yang Yanqi mentioned this old thing with a look of contempt.
What she said was the battle between Zhao Kuangyin and the Northern Han Dynasty that year.
The first battle was at the beginning of the succession of Liu Jiyuan, the current county lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the people in the country were unstable. Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of this opportunity to send Li Jixun, Cao Bin and others to lead an army of 60,000 to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.
At the beginning of this battle, the Song army won successive battles, but it could not attack Taiyuan City for a long time, and then the Liao army led tens of thousands of troops south to aid the Northern Han, and the Song army saw this and had to withdraw its troops and return.
The second battle was also the same as before, the Song army fought smoothly in the early stage, but it was to besiege Taiyuan City, and later a large number of reinforcements from the Liao State arrived, Zhao Kuangyin felt that the troops were insufficient, so he had to withdraw his troops.
On the surface, it seems that the Song army was indeed intimidated by the Liao army's southward advance, so it withdrew its troops.
Shi Wei looked at the proud Yang Yanqi, but laughed.
Yang Yanqi looked displeased and scolded: "Isn't what I said the truth, what is funny about you." ”
Shi Wei sneered: "I always thought that General Yang Ye was a famous general, and Miss Yang must also be a tiger father and no dog girl, but now it seems that Miss Yang is very far from Ling Zun for the way of military affairs." ”
Being ridiculed like this by Shi Wei, Yang Yanqi suddenly became angry.
Shi Wei then said unhurriedly: "Back then, our dynasty did not succeed in attacking the Northern Han Dynasty twice, but Miss Yang should not forget that at that time, the south was not peaceful, and my country had to divide most of the troops to prevent Jiangnan, so every time the Northern Han was attacked, the number of soldiers and horses was far less than the sum of the troops of the Northern Han and Liao States, which Miss Yang had to admit." ”
Hearing this, Yang Yanqi's anger gradually subsided.
"It was in this situation of insufficient troops that my Song actually beat your Northern Han into a turtle in Taiyuan City, not daring to fight, and the Liao people in the south were also defeated by me several times. Now that Jiangnan has been flattened, our Great Song Dynasty has poured troops from the country, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops have attacked Taiyuan. This time, the time, place and people are all on our side, Miss Yang thinks, can you Beihan still escape this catastrophe? ”
Shi Wei's words were generous and confident, and he only said Yang Yanqi speechless.
Yang Yanqi is not ignorant of the art of war, but because he is in it, he can't objectively look at the war between the two countries.
Now that she was awakened by Shi Wei's words, and when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat between her scalp.
"This womanizer is right, the invasion of the Song people this time is indeed very different from the previous two times, is it true that this time, my Great Han Kingdom is really unable to escape this catastrophe?"
The more Yang Yanqi thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more disappointed and powerless she felt.
Seeing this, Shi Wei smiled and said: "Miss Yang doesn't have to be sad, the world is a family, the Han Kingdom belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, you and I are the people of the same country, this is also a happy thing." ”
Shi Wei's smugness stimulated Yang Yanqi, her eyebrows suddenly condensed, and she said hatefully: "Who will kill the deer, how can you decide in a few words, you and I have not yet known who will win and who will lose in this bet, you should not be complacent too early." ”
Yang Yanqi knew that his defeat was decided, but he was provoked by Shi Wei, and he just couldn't swallow this breath.
Shi Wei smiled and suddenly said, "Since Miss Yang is so confident, then we might as well make another bet." ”
Yang Qiyan looked stunned and asked, "What are you betting on?" ”
Shi Wei pointed to the north and said: "Let's bet on this battle of Baimaling, whether the Liao people will win or my Great Song will win." ”
Yang Yanqi was excited by Shi Wei, and didn't think much about it, and blurted out: "Bet on it, I'm afraid that you won't succeed, what do you want to bet on this time." ”
Shi Wei was waiting for her words, and a sly smile quietly flashed across the corners of his mouth.
