Ghost Zhang led a large army to suddenly appear, but the Song army also learned of the arrival of his army, and hurriedly formed two rows of chariots in the north and south with baggage carts.

This problem is not big, Ghost Zhang fought with the Song army twice, and knew that the Song army was very strict in military discipline. Now although the Song army has formed a car formation, after all, it is only a logistics army escorting grain and grass, and the quality of the armor of the two thousand soldiers is not very good, not the exquisite armor seen before, and some soldiers are still wearing leather armor and paper armor. As for the people who escorted the people, it seemed that they also wanted to cooperate, but only half of them were holding crude bows and arrows in their hands, and as for the divine arm bow that made Ghost Zhang suffer a lot of losses, he couldn't see it at all.

Seeing the big banner with the word Jing fluttering in the wind, Ghost Zhang laughed, swaggered and brought the army to within four or five hundred steps of the Song army, and shouted arrogantly at the Song army: "Jing Siyi, your eldest brother's head is still in my hands, you simply offer your own head and let me add icing on the cake." ”

Jing Siyi's teeth were cracked, but there was no way, his 2,000 subordinates were no match for the Tubo people on the other side, so he had to order the soldiers and people to be on guard.

Ghost Zhang still didn't make a move, he was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Yan army.

The two battles of the Song army made him realize the tenacity of the Song army, even if he could annihilate this army, the sacrifice would not be small. These subordinates were either his clansmen or the sons of his clansmen, so when the Shan army arrived, let the Clansmen take the lead.

The sky was approaching dusk, and the cyan ancient plain was filled with a layer of murderous aura.

In the far west, it is possible that Wang Shao realized that something was wrong, and left part of his troops to garrison Suiyuan Pass and Thirsty Donkey Ridge, with few troops, leaving a thousand people each, but since the withdrawal of Zongge City, with the efforts of tens of thousands of troops, the two fortresses have been repaired in a big shape. There is also the risk of terrain. And the thirsty donkey ridge is only more than thirty miles away from Huangzhou City. Suiyuan Pass is only twenty miles away, and the Song army can send troops to Huangzhou to support at any time, and 2,000 troops are enough.

When the Song army retreated to Huangzhou City, a cavalry quickly galloped towards Miaochuan City. A cavalry quickly galloped from Miaochuan City to Jing Sili's army, and Miaochuan City received Jing Sili's call for help in advance, but this army was very small, only five or six hundred people.

At the same time in the East. A troop of men and horses hurried along a hidden mountain path, and then lurked in a valley, with a scout standing on a distant peak looking out at Barkinburg.

On the banks of the Gequ River, a Han man was ushered in in the big tent of Xibawen.

After the defeat of Xige City, Xibawen had no choice but to lead part of his clan to flee to the Gequ River to settle down, and he could no longer flee eastward, where was the territory of the Dong clan.

Xi Bawen and the Han man talked for a long time, and the result of the meeting was not very satisfied, and the Han man said with a gloomy face: "Big leader." If you are willing to send someone under the fence, you are willing to have your eldest son killed. Just when I didn't say it. ”

Xibawen said hesitantly: "Your honor, I won't tell you anything, Ghost Zhang and his son led a large army to attack Ba Jinbao and your grain team. ”

It's not that he doesn't want to join forces with the Song people, Xi Ba Wen and Ghost Zhang have already formed a feud with each other, Dong Yu's favoritism also disappointed Xi Ba Wen, Guan Jian his tribe is in the inner belly of Jishi Mountain, and the Song army is facing two difficulties, the first difficulty is how to survive the tricks of the ghost chapter, the second difficulty is how to defeat the Western Xia army, it is dangerous for that Zheng Xianggong to stay in Guwei City this time, for the future of the tribe, how dare he join forces with the Song people?

The Han man said coldly: "I will stay here for two more days, and you will be able to hear the news." ”

"Okay," Xibawen readily agreed, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and if it is as the Han envoy said, he will not mind joining forces with the Song people. At least stay for a few days, Xibawen is still very welcome.

The crisis of the Song army was imminent, but Zheng Lang didn't care much, in fact, the biggest enemy was not in Western Xia and Tubo, but in China and Khitan.

In order to keep it secret, the military operation was not reported to the capital, but the Western Xia army did not need to report it, and the imperial court also knew about it. After Zheng Lang left, it began to rain, but the rain fell very abnormally, at the end of May, not only did it rain, but the rain was also mixed with hail the size of beans. Two days later, it began to rain and hail again. These two rains and hailstorms destroyed crops along the river. As two hailstorms fell, a torrential rain arrived, causing many areas in Shaanxi and Pinglu counties to be flooded.

However, the rains have partially defused the drought in some areas.

During the management of the Yellow River, the method of diverting water into the lake was popularized in the Huaihe River Basin, and then this method was successively promoted in Shaanxi and northern China. It has nothing to do with protecting the environment and fish returning to the upper reaches of the river to breed, but it is difficult to build barrages with current technology. However, it is easy to divide the water into the lake and into the weir.

First of all, choose a low-lying marshland or low-lying saline-alkali land of little value on the edge of each river, set up embankments and steep gates, bring river water, divert water and store water during the flood peak, and also play a role in reducing the flood peak, close the upstream steep gate when the water is dry, and use the downstream steep gate to discharge the water to the irrigation canal, which is convenient for crop irrigation.

Since the end of July last year, there have not been a few drops of rain in the entire north, and many of the ground has cracked. A large number of ordinary people became displaced people, and were arranged by the imperial court for labor relief, arranged for various projects, used to build roads and transport grain, and water conservancy, including the construction of some water diversion reservoirs in the north.

The reservoirs are finally starting to fill water, which will help alleviate some of the drought, and at least allow some arable land to continue to be cultivated.

However, the overall situation in the Song Dynasty was still not very good, and after the heavy rain like a nervous disease at the end of May, God began to pity the tears again, but it rained painfully in the south, resulting in the flooding of Changrun, two major grain-producing states in the southeast.

However, in general, it is a little better than in the second half of last year and the first half of this year, although after the summer, there is still little rain, but it is not like in the past year, almost no rain falls.

It is still not enough, because there is a lot of grain in reserve, and there is no major crisis for the time being, but the grain reserves are decreasing day by day, and we do not know when the drought will continue, and there is a shortage of grain in some areas, and grain prices are also rising step by step.

This is not what makes Zhao Ji anxious, it is the northwest that is anxious.

I don't know about the tricks of the ghost chapter, but I know that the Western Xia sent 150,000 troops.

Originally, it was not easy to attack Huangzhou, and it seems that Wang Shao stopped in front of Zongge City to prove this. Coupled with the attack of 150,000 troops in Western Xia, Zhao Ji was very uneasy. Under these circumstances, the voices against sending troops to Hehuang rose again.

Still not the deadliest.

Zheng Lang was most worried that the Khitan would send troops to suppress him.

If the Khitan sent troops to suppress each other, all efforts would truly be in vain. didn't disappoint him too much, because it was far away, and the Khitan got the news relatively late. At the beginning, I saw that the Song army was invincible. Yelu Yixin was also taken aback. Later, after the news that Wang Shao was blocked in Zongge City came out. Yelu Yixin breathed a sigh of relief.

Even he admired in his heart, sure enough, Tubo was very strong, Yuan Hao couldn't do it, and neither did the Song people.

The main thing is that Jeruethin didn't have much foresight. As long as the Khitan sent troops to suppress each other, the Song Dynasty sent troops to Hehuang and could only end hastily, and Hehuang could not succeed, and Dong Yu would completely come together with Western Xia. Then the conquest of Western Xia may also be in vain.

In addition, the Khitan was also affected by the drought, and Yelu Yixin and his ministers had to shift their attention to the country, which further relieved the pressure in the northwest.

But another person is worried about Zhongzhong, Xiao Guanyin read Zheng Langxin, his heart suddenly believed and doubted, and saw that her husband hunted excessively, and the political affairs were indeed as Zheng Lang said, controlled by Yelu Yixin, so he learned from Tang Taizong's favorite concubine Xu Xianfei, and advised him: "The concubine heard that King Mu was far away." Zhou De declines; Taikang Yu, a few houses in the summer society. This is a nomadic tenant. The Emperor's Tortoise is also a sword. Seeing the luck of the autumn mountain, not idle six royal, especially to ride alone from the birds, in-depth accidents, although this is the mighty god of the time, all the souls for their own support, if there is a group of beasts, as the East said, then the pig in the ditch, will defeat the driving of Jianzi. Although the concubine is stupid, stealing is a worry for the society. However, His Majesty respects the ring of the old man's galloping, and uses the purpose of Han Wen Ji Xing, not to accept it as the morning of the rooster with his words. ”

After Yelu Hongji saw the sparse performance, although he accepted it, he was very disgusted, and from then on, Xiao Guanyin was rarely seen.

Zheng Lang didn't wake up, Xiao Guanyin didn't realize it, after the reminder, everything seemed to really develop in the direction that Zheng Lang said, Xiao Guanyin was depressed and began to take precautions. But that's exactly what she wants......

……

The sun was only the last of its twilight, and Bajinburg closed its gates.

The north and south of Ba Jin Fort have not been recovered, it belongs to the hostile sphere of influence, Guo Cheng took advantage of the chaos to easily get Ba Jin Fort, Wei Qi did not want the tragedy to happen again, every day the city gate was opened late, but it was closed very early.

A few Tibetans on the mountain peaks in the distance began to sleep with their weapons in their arms, and they were waiting, waiting for the light of the fire in Bajin Fort at the second watch.

At this time, the few inns in the fort were crowded with guests, mostly caravans of the Longkui tribe. Today is about to act, and several Tibetans in the city came to the inn and found the leader of the caravan.

After hearing what they had said, the leader laughed and waved his hand, and his men pounced and held several people down.

These people were not convinced, and the leader laughed again, patted one of them on the head and said: "Please remember my name, surname and caste!" ”

"Seedling?"

"Exactly."

"Are you from Song?"

"Exactly."

"No, you are Tibetans." One of them shouted that the Tubo people were still different from the Han people, and if they were the Song people, they would have noticed it a long time ago.

"Aren't the people of Fan not the Song people?" Chonggu shouted loudly.

These Neiying in the city finally woke up, it was a good Tubo person, but there were many Tibetan soldiers in the Song army, this was a trick of the Song people, they were fooled, and the ghost chapter was fooled.

Chonggu's subordinates tied up a few people, and these days they had already learned the list of internal responses in the city, and began to cooperate with Wei Qi to lead the Song army to arrest them. It's a pity that the Tibetans in the distance don't have clairvoyance, and they can't see everything that happened in Bajin Fort in the night.

Later, Chonggu took over the responsibilities of Bajinburg.

The general of Ba Jinbao is not Wei Qi, but the seed of the family! After he and Wei Qi emptied the castle of Baking, they began to set fire to it, deliberately creating a disturbance in the city.

Seeing the fire in the fort, several scouts hurriedly ran down the mountain and ran towards the valley. Hearing the scout's report, the advisor immediately led the army out and rushed to Bajinburg.

Another battle began.

In the evening, the army of the Shan tribe arrived.

But Ghost Zhang is not to blame, without waiting for his army to arrive, the people of the Qi tribe are the army here, and they do not dare to attack the Song army. They must be later than themselves.

Across the wall of the Song army's car, the ghost chapter commanded with a big banner.

However, the ghost chapter didn't pay attention to it, there was still a flag in the convoy of the Song Dynasty that had not been treeped, and that flag had a big king character written on it. Wang Junwan! It turned out that Wang Shao's three brave generals, the first general was Jing Sili, but unfortunately died in Tabaicheng. But it's not that Jing Sili is inferior to Ghost Zhang, if there is no Li Ji dragging his legs, and the difference in strength is not large, Ghost Zhang may not be Jing Sili's opponent. The second will be Miao Zhu. The third general is none other than Wang Junwan.

Wang Shao opened the border, Yu Longke returned to the country, and the Silla knot did not obey, because the Silla knot was powerful, and the generals of the Han Jinji period were taken in January. After receiving the order, Wang Junwan deceived himself as a hunter, chased birds, came to the place where Silla Jie lived, found an excuse to talk with Silla Jie, won the trust of Silla Jie, and asked Silla Jie to hunt with him. During the hunt, Silla Jie gradually became unprepared, and the two horses approached, and Wang Junwan suddenly knocked Silla Jie off his horse with a punch, and galloped back with a knife. Seeing that the Song generals were so fierce, the remnants did not dare to chase them, and Silla Jie died, and then the Song army arrived, and the remnants surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Not in January, but in a few days, the Silla clan was taken down.

After the Song Dynasty took the military city of Wusheng, Khotan sent people to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute, and the local Nanshan chief Yao Wei plotted to rob the Khotanese tribute, Wang Jun Wan Shuai went out to ask, and the Qiang people lurked in the valley. When Wang Junwan arrived, Yao Wei suddenly jumped out of the forest on horseback and stabbed Wang Junwan with a horizontal spear. Wang Junwan dodged sideways, looked back and struck, and as soon as he closed, he beheaded the blind Tubo Yong medicine under the horse. Seeing that Wang Junwan was so fierce, the crowd put down their weapons and surrendered.

And there is also the merit of breaking the South City, the North City and the South Sazong City.

At that time, Miao Zhu was trapped in Miaochuan City, and the first general Wang Shao thought of going to the rescue was Wang Junwan.

But in the end, he was called.

He was left behind for this day. After all, the Song people distributed many eyes and ears in Tibet, and the Song Dynasty occupied only a long and narrow section, and it was easier for the Tubo people to lay down their eyes and ears in this narrow area.

That is, what Ghost Zhang really dealt with was Jing Sili's younger brother Jing Siyi.

Wang Shao will not rest assured that Jing Siyi, Zheng Lang came to the northwest and sent people to arrest Li Qi and Han Cunbao, some people asked to be beheaded to strictly enforce military discipline, and some people interceded for the two, Zheng Lang did not express his position, and he has not been released until now.

If he has the ability, Jing Sili is desperate, as a younger brother, a little agitation, when Jing Sili defeated the Tubo pursuers, rushed down the hill and repelled the enemy's pursuers, then there was time to camp. Set up a large camp, you can attack or retreat, and there will be no fiasco.

The reason why Jing Sili was used was to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the court blamed Jing Sili, Wang Shao was not easy to understand, and slightly used Jing Siyi's merit to correct Jing Sili's name, and secondly, it was used to confuse the ghost chapter.

The ghost chapter really hit the plan.

Wang Junwan, who had turned into an ordinary lieutenant general, frowned.

The two were fooled, and they had a great opportunity to destroy the enemy, but there was a very bad scene. The army of the Yi tribe rushed towards the Song army, but Ghost Zhang ordered his men not to move for the time being. The main thing to deal with is the ghost chapter, the ghost chapter does not move, and the layout in advance is not very moving.

As soon as the arrangement is used, the ghost chapter will inevitably retreat. Without using the arrangement, the army of the Hu tribe also has 5,000 troops, which will inevitably bring heavy casualties to his subordinates. (To be continued.) )
