Chapter 102 has an edict from the north

Wang Hou is the son of the famous general Wang Shao, who has followed his father to Longyou since he was a child, and knows the local situation well. &*．． The fastest update** A few years ago, he led troops with Wang Zhen to conquer Huangzhou and Shanzhou, and served as the governor of Huangzhou. Under the strong recommendation of Cai Jing, he served as the commander of the Hehuang Army, and Tong Guan was the supervisor of the army. Cai Jing thinks that he is kind to Wang Hou, and he always thinks: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu, you Wang Hou wouldn't know where Lu Dao was conceived!" However, since Wang Hou became the commander of the expedition to the Hehuang army, Wang Hou often rejected Cai Jing's opinions and orders.

Later, Cai Jing ordered Wang Hou to surrender Renduo to protect his loyalty, and he also refused again and again, which made Cai Xiang very unhappy. He tried to protect the two of them originally wanted to sell favors to Tong Guan and Wang Hou to control the Western Army, but he didn't expect the emperor to decide to let Tong Guan take charge of the military administration of the Western Front in the Xihe and Hehuang regions, which could greatly threaten Cai Jing's control of military power!

At the same time as using Tao Jiefu, Cai Jing also tried to pull Wang Hou to boycott Tong Guan. However, Wang Houzhi was on the frontier and was very tired of the struggle for power in the court, so he did not respond to Cai Jing. Cai Jing pulled Wang Hou to distract Tong Guan's resentment, but Wang Hou let it go, so that Tong Guan's resentment was concentrated on Cai Jing alone, which naturally made Cai Jing even more dissatisfied with Wang Hou.

Tong Guan also knew Cai Jing's small actions, but at that time, he had just grasped power, and he had to rely on Wang Hou militarily, so Mingli was wooing his brother and brother, but secretly he also wanted to pull out the 'nail' that Cai Jing nailed in his heart. The opportunity came after a short time, the deputy marshal Gao Yongnian "credulously believed in the Tibetan soldiers, sat and was bound", was killed by the Tibetans, and suffered heavy losses, Tong Guan immediately played and said, "Wang Hou's reinforcements are slow, resulting in a great defeat", and Cai Jing also gave him up because of Wang Hou's contempt for himself, so he was demoted to the defense envoy of Yingzhou, returned to the mainland to relax, became Tong Guan's scapegoat, and became a victim of the two fighting.

Feng Shui took turns, Tong Guan was promoted because of his merits, but Cai Jing was ousted and returned to his hometown. After that, Tong Guan humiliated the Liao State, and started to use the army again, but he knew that no one in the court helped him in this matter, so he formed an alliance with Tong Guan again, and helped him come back.

This time Prince Yan went to the northwest to take up a post, Tong Guan knew that Cai Jing first denied it and then affirmed it, but he didn't know the reason, which made him mutter, and he couldn't figure out whether Cai Jing wanted to help him or harm him. From the overall situation, Cai Jing is now squeezed out by Wang Huang and others, and he is in charge of the northwest alone, which also makes the emperor feel uneasy. All this should be the ghost of Wang Hao and others, they want to borrow a knife to kill people, and let Prince Yan make trouble for themselves.

And the emperor agreed to this matter, and discharged the slander of Wang Hao and others, I am afraid that he also wanted to give the prince some color to see, so that Prince Yan could make some capital in the northwest, once the prince did not know how to lift the horse, the main thing is that the emperor is not at ease with himself, or he will not let King Yan know the most important Hedong Road, this is the fruit picking. Tong Guan is worthy of being a veteran in officialdom, except for the agreement reached by Zhao Ta and Cai Jing in private, everything else has been guessed by him!

Tong Guan figured out all of them, and couldn't help but secretly scold these people for being 'vicious', although Prince Yan had a good relationship with him, and he had also promoted him as the prince, but he also knew that he was a difficult little devil, he could find something to do if he didn't have anything to do, and he could play with the scales! When it comes to himself, it is not difficult to give him a credit, but now the difficult thing is that his credit cannot exceed himself, otherwise the sand will not be eaten in vain for so many years! He thought about it for half the night and decided that he had to write a seal to the emperor first and make some corrections to the battle plan...

．．．．．．…,

After fifteen, Zhao Ta received an edict, 'Zhao Northwest Road Passage Division: Although the Xia State was defeated, he ordered the border ministers to train the troops, the fortress and the armor, and the transfer of the order quarter by quarter, and the divisions were cautious! Then he made arrangements for how to deal with the enemy and how to fight, and then made arrangements for how to fight in the east of the Zhao River, such as thieves and heavy soldiers violating the border, that is, according to the front and rear constraints, so that the border city was specially guarded, and the remaining soldiers were about to stay outside, and the rest of the army was united into an army. In order to guard against thieves, do not divide the troops, and cause the branches to be lost. Zhulu sent troops to Hexi, prepared food and salary in Hedong, strictly guarded the border, and moved with the camera, which means Linfeng. And Tong Guan's order to Zhao Tan was relatively simple, "Spring ploughing is near, so that the Hedong Economic Strategy Division strictly guards the border to inspect the fortress, envoys, etc., and often waits, beware, and does not take temporary precautions, if the enemy soldiers come out, they will not be easily engaged." ’

"***, what does this mean, there is a conflict between the two orders!" Zhao Ta looked at the two military orders on the table and muttered.

According to the strategic deployment of the Song Dynasty, in the east of Western Xia, it competed with Western Xia for the sky and horizontal line; In the west of Western Xia, it pacified Tubo and Zhuqiang; When the time was ripe, the Song army used a small number of troops to contain the main force of the Western Xia army in the east, and concentrated superior forces to attack the Western Xia from the west. After Tong Guan presided over the military administration in the northwest, he basically followed this implementation.

In April of the fifth year of Zhenghe, Tong Guan sought to take the northern boundary of Qingshui River and Zhuoluo City, sent Liu Fa to lead 150,000 troops out of Huangzhou, and Qin Feng Road to lead Liu Zhongwu to lead 50,000 soldiers out of Huizhou, and led the Chinese army to respond in Lanzhou. In the second half of the year, Tong Guan planned a general offensive, united with Shaanxi Qinfeng, Yan Yan, Jingyuan Zhulu army commanded by Liu Zhongwu to attack the Tibetan River City, the Song army repeatedly could not attack, the Western Xia reinforcements arrived after taking advantage of the situation to cover the attack, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, tens of thousands of athletes died bravely, and the third general of Qin Fenglu was all killed. Soon, the Western Xia army took the opportunity to burn and loot within the Xiao Pass, and for a time the war on the eastern front of the Great Song Dynasty fell into passivity.

In order to get rid of the passivity of the Eastern Front, the Song Dynasty began to brew a new offensive at the beginning of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the Western Front was attacked by Liu Fa and Liu Zhongwu Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division of the Western Xia, and the Eastern Front planted the Dao to attack the Dingbian Army Fokou Valley City, and the Western Front offensive was particularly fierce, the strategic planning of the Song Army was very well-made, Tong Guan sat in Lanzhou to confuse the Western Xia, and Liu Zhongwu went out of Huizhou as a secondary attack, Liu Fa led the main force of Xihe Lanhuang Road out of Huangzhou to take the ancient bone dragon directly, and launched a pincer offensive.

Liu Zhongwu fought along the Yellow River to the southwest, and advanced more than 100 miles to build Dewei City, Liu Fa arrived at the ancient bone dragon and encountered tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the main force of the Western Xia Right Wing Army, and finally hit the Western Xia army hard, beheading thousands of people. Subsequently, Liu Fa built the Zhenwu military city with extremely important strategic value in Gugulong according to the plan of the pre-Kaifeng Privy Council, which was roughly north of Liancheng near Yongdeng in today's Gansu Province, and was a strategic hub in Hehuang and Hexi. The Song army won one victory after another, so that the newly built fortresses of Western Xia were almost lost, and the Song Dynasty almost had an absolute advantage in the Second Battle of the Tibetan River and the Battle of Renduoquan.

The Western Xia people, who lost again and again, were not willing to lose, and Zhenghe began to brew a counterattack in the seventh year, and on the western front, they built Tong'an City not far from the Zhenwu army to fight for control of the Kaluo River. On the eastern front, the Western Xia cavalry attacked Jingxia in the winter of that year, the Jingxia city guard was dug up due to negligence, and the master was too late to lead the main force to rescue, the city was slaughtered, and the master was reduced to a defense envoy after being observed by the festival, but still stayed on the Jingyuan Road to preside over the military and politics.

The order of the Privy Council was to let the attack on the western front, in addition to raising food and wages, the main task of the Hedong Road was to hold the border, launch a feint attack on the Fengzhou area, and contain the troops of the eastern front of Western Xia, but the specific battle plan was not issued at the same time, and it is estimated that it was reported after Tong Guan formulated it; However, Tong Guan knew that under the order of the Privy Council, he let himself only defend and not attack, patrolling the border, and there were obvious differences. According to his memory, the Western Army launched an attack on the eastern and western fronts at the same time this year, and it was mainly on the eastern front, after all, Jingxia City was lost, and the defensive posture here was unfavorable to his side. …,

Zhao Ta read the edict, comprehended the spirit, and found that now it seems that no matter how he fights, he has nothing to do, he is just a side drum and a logistics errand. After thinking for a while, he ordered someone to invite Huang Jingchen and He Qufei and others. Now Huang Jingchen's position is not high, but his status is high, and he is much more free than himself, he has a separate yamen, and he has a command elite from the Hedong Army as a personal soldier, and others give gifts to Zhao Ta, and he is indispensable. In order to show that he and Zhao Ta have drawn a clear line, after arriving in Taiyuan, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year after meeting at the group meeting, Huang Jingchen has not yet boarded the door of his economic strategy.

The whole Taiyuan City is a big place, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to ride a horse, they live in the same city, it doesn't take long, Huang Jingchen arrived, and led the four four King Kongs sent to him by Zhao Ta into the backyard.

"Uncle Huang, my little nephew will give you a good old age!" Zhao Ta had been waiting at the door for a long time, welcoming him in, as soon as the door was closed, he went to the end to give Huang Jingchen a New Year's greeting, in previous years, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, this year in order to show that the two broke up, Zhao Ta did not come to the door.

"Okay, it's been half a month, and I'm still pretending to be with me, and I'm thinking about my little things, but fortunately I haven't forgotten!" Although Huang Jingchen had disdain on his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he waved his hand and handed over a small box.

"Hmph, you give it to me once a year, I don't have to worry about it yet!" Zhao Ta snorted coldly, snatched the box and checked it, fluttering, "It's so light, and you fool me, right?" He said as he opened the box, and there was really nothing in it, just a piece of red paper.

"Hehe, I gave you gold and silver in the past, and this year's gift is great!" Huang Jingchen looked at Zhao Ta's disappointed look, and smiled with a look of successful trickery.

"Two hundred horses!" Zhao Ta fished out the piece of paper, unfolded it, and exclaimed, this old wealth fan is bloody!

"Of course, look at your guards, the horses are either tall or short, the hair is not the same, I look ashamed, I have sent someone to Zhao Ren to send the horse, you can ride it when you go out!" Huang Jingchen closed his chin for the prince and said.
