There are 3 transitional talents in a series of Wanyan Division, which has just had a little foundation, and it feels like a flash in the pan and the good times are gone. But the wonderful thing is that these 3 people all have one characteristic - they die fast! In their rapid deaths one after another, the emerging Wanyan Department was not branded with anyone's solid imprint, making it difficult for latecomers to control. No one can do anything to ruin the family business that has just been saved. The most important thing is that they all died, and they died when they were in the prime of life and full of spirit!

On the 30th, due to the retreat of Wang Hou's army, the Tubo man Azhang once again invaded the cities of Laibin and Xunhua. Taoxi pacification envoy Li Zhong led his troops to the rescue. In November, at Guyanling, five or six miles away from Xunhua City, he met the Tubo army. As a result, three battles and three defeats, Li Zhong died in battle.

On the 20th, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Yelu and Lu Wei, as the emperor's uncle (I found that the Khitan people like to engage in the emperor's uncle.) The posthumously feuded and even the imperial uncle who was enshrined while still alive, opening the "History of Liao" can be said to abound) and Lu Wei's son Yeluchun (the future emperor of Northern Liao) was the king of Tokyo and Yue. At the same time, he ordered Yelu Yan to compile the records of the emperors of the Great Liao Kingdom (the future "History of Liao" repaired by the Mongols was based on Ye Lu Yan's "Actual Records") In December, at the suggestion of the imperial uncle, Emperor Tianzuo set up Xiao Sese, who had been secretly hidden in the palace for several months, as his concubine.

In January of the 3rd year of Chongning (1104), something happened ... What do you mean by that? Very small? It's as small as just a few dining utensils. One day, Cai Jing went to court and found that the young and handsome emperor was in a daze. Of course, he had to ask clearly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Ji was shy and hesitant, and there were several crystal and warm jade cups, jade plates, and jade cups in front of him, all of which were top-notch dining utensils. He said that he was going to feast the ministers in a few days, and I wanted to use these jades, but the terrible people said that they were too extravagant...

Cai Jing smiled, he understood. China is the homeland of jade, and it has been a ritual vessel since ancient times. The dark vessels, the heavy weapons of the country, such as the emperor's seal, are all made of jade, which emperor is not surrounded by piles of jade. Now Zhao Jigui is the Son of Heaven, and he is a person who pursues perfection, how can he be decent without using jade in the first few banquets when he has just ascended the throne and feasted the ministers?

Cai Jing mentioned a past story: "When the minister sent an envoy to the Liao State, when the Liao Emperor was invited, he deliberately took out a jade bowl, saying that it was the old thing of Jin Shi Jingjiao five generations later. I don't know if there is still a Southern Dynasty now" The implication is that the Great Liao Emperor is showing off his wealth and despising the Song Dynasty!

It is also true that although the Song Dynasty was the richest empire in history, before Song Huizong, the emperor had always lived frugally. Take Song Renzong as an example, he was reluctant to eat even crabs. After his death, he was surprisingly frugal. The tomb of the emperor of the Song Dynasty is the most simple in the Zhengshuo Dynasty, and the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang shocked the world. Emperor Mao Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is also a high mountain mausoleum. Tang Lizhi and Wu Zetian were buried together in the Qianling Mausoleum. Half of the wealth of the whole country at that time in the Tang Dynasty was buried. There are Ming Tombs, and the most meager national strength of the Zhengshuo Dynasty has created a systematic tomb group. The Qing Dynasty went to the next level, and Kangxi, Qianlong, etc. began to build tombs from the beginning of their accession to the throne, and they repaired for decades. At the time of the burial, the tomb was as rich as the treasury. The Great Liao Kingdom is not bad at all, due to customs, their tombs are built in the deep mountains and old forests. After their deaths, high-ranking officials and nobles wore gold and jade clothes, and their style was more exquisite than that of the Han Chinese. Accompanying burials are known for their abundance, and every generation of tomb robbers knows that digging up the Liao tomb is equivalent to digging up a gold mine!

The tomb of the Song Emperor is the most shabby. The first construction time was short, and each one was built after the death of the emperor, and it was buried in two years at most. The second funeral was the thinnest, only the emperor used gold utensils, and the rest of the concubines, even if they reached the level of the empress dowager Gao, were only gilded.

Therefore, Zhao Ji had a headache when facing jade, drooling, and afraid of hot hands, so he didn't know how to do it. Cai Jing's example moved him a little, Liao used it, could he not use it? After thinking about it, I really can't use it!

He remembered his father Song Shenzong, who was just going to build a small platform, and was greeted by the officials for more than a month. Even if you survive and build it, I'm afraid I'll lose interest when you go up and play...

What to do? Cai Jing has a way, and if he can't use the Liao State to stimulate it, how can he prove it with the classics with the greatest source of Chinese civilization? He said a total of 8 words, which made Song Huizong Zhao Ji wake up like a dream - "Book of Changes", "Fengheng Yuda", "Zhou Li", "Only the king will not"

It means that the emperor's expenses don't need to be calculated at all, and he can spend as much as he wants! It is good to achieve the effect of wealth and prosperity such as "abundance, Heng, Henan, and greatness"! Zhao Ji had an epiphany, he understood how the emperor was going to be. The ancients were honest and didn't deceive me, it turned out that there were already such predecessors? Yes! It must be so, otherwise why are so many people vying to be emperors? Why do you fight for blood? Just because you enjoy a rare, boundless, uncountable enjoyment...

From this time on, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong began his happy life. How can you be happy to raise one person in the world and enjoy one husband in the whole country! Looking back, this seems to be named "the tragedy caused by a few jade bowls", the tragedy is so great that it will cost the entire Shenzhou to be lost!

As a result, Liu Yu was promoted to Da Si Le, and did everything possible to restore the most graceful and luxurious ancient music!

On the 29th, Song Huizong had a new idea. Ancient Dayu ruled the water, the merit in the world, the founding of the Xia Dynasty, had set the gold of Shenzhou to cast Jiuding, became a symbol of imperial power. It's a pity that it was thousands of years ago, Jiuding was robbed and burned, and I don't know where it went... Emperors shook their heads at this, treating it as a legend and passing it down from generation to generation...

But Zhao Ji is not like this! When it is his turn to be the emperor, if he wants to do it, he must be the classic of the classics, and achieve the perfection of perfection! On the 29th, Song Huizong issued an order: According to ancient records, recast Jiuding!

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and quietly asked Cai Jing, "Prime Minister, do you still have any money in hand?" Cai Jing is very relaxed" Your Majesty, Fang Jinquan's accumulated profit of 50 million coins is enough to be happy, and rich enough to prepare gifts" The monarch and ministers looked at each other and smiled: Okay, let's continue to repair!

On March 28, a fire broke out in Kaifeng. But this is a good excuse for Song Huizong and Zhao Ji to build a new house! The original palace is good, but it's not my style! The house I live in should not only be luxurious, but also functional. Not only should it be fully functional, but also profound!

In March, the interior of the Song Dynasty began a major renovation of the palace. On the national border, Wang Hou and Tong Guan's Great Song Western Army embarked on the journey again and began the second process of opening the Xihe River for the second time! In order to prevent Western Xia from harassing in Lanzhou, Huangzhou and other places, rescue Tibet. Wang Hou ordered Pan Fengquan to be stationed in Huangzhou and Yao Shimin to be stationed in Lanzhou to defend Western Xia. Then he sent Liu Zhongwu, the general of Hezhou, to lead his troops into Anqiang Village and cut off the communication route. After that, the Western army set off!

On April 7, the army came to Huangzhou. Everyone said that the Tubo people were very easy to fight, so we directly sent troops to sweep his old nest, Qingtang City! But it was vetoed by coach Wang Hou. He said that our target this time is Zongge City! Zongge City is the second most important town in Hehuang and Tubo, second only to Qingtang City, the capital founded by Shan Siluo. The Tubo forces here are intertwined and the military is strong, and for many years, both the Song and Western Xia people have had a headache...

It sounds really shaking. But in fact, when Wang Hou killed the past, his heart was still quite relaxed. The reason is very simple, the same is that "the power is intertwined, and the military is strong", which is equivalent to the Tubo people occupying the mountains as kings, and no one obeys anyone, and all of them are particularly powerful. In such a situation. They are just a plate of loose sand, even if they are all diamond sand, they can't break Wang Hou's front teeth...

Speaking of which, this is also the death hole of the Tibetan people, and it is the biggest difference between them and Western Xia. The Tangut people have always had a unified structure and leadership since Li Yuanhao, and even if the Liang clan usurped power, they have never been divided. The Tibetans, however, split immediately after the death of Tsluo. Even before Tslo died, his son went out on his own... All things are like this, and a man will be disgraced to himself. Only then can a man be humiliated. The country must have internal strife, and foreign enemies can invade...

That being said, coach Wang Hou is still very cautious. He divided his troops into 3 routes, and Gao Yongnian led the front army from Shengduo Valley. Advance along the north bank of the Dzong River. Zhang Jie's troops advanced along the south bank of the Zong River from Wangtian and Ding Lingzong Valley. He and Tong Guan led the Chinese army out of Suiyuan Pass, crossed the Thirsty Donkey Ridge, and pointed directly at Zongge City. It is expected to be the day after tomorrow on the 9th. The three-way army will meet under the city of Zongge!

Wang Hou, as the son of the famous general Wang Shao, fought twice as the commander of Hehuang. He knows too well that the possibility of his own success or failure is condensed in one person. The new king of Tibet, the son of Xibawen, Xiluo Sa, is now in Zongge City! This person is the most powerful force in the local area, with at least 60,000 soldiers, plus Zongge City's natural danger, this is a hundred times more dangerous than Huangzhou City 1 year ago!

What to do? Or do you besiege the city for a day, or even three days and nights, as you did last time, until you succeed? How many corpses would have to be used to cushion under the walls of Zongge City! As the commander-in-chief, whether it is for the lives of the soldiers, or for the sake of retaining the strength of the attack on Qingtang City later, he can't do this!

But what if you don't? In the midst of hesitation, a piece of good news suddenly came, according to a reliable source, Xi Cheng Luosa was furious, and he let out his words - he must fight to the death with the people of the Song Dynasty, and if there is Wang Hou, there will be no him, see who will die!

On the 8th, the envoy of Xi Cheng Luosa came to write a war letter again, and at the same time spied on the reality of the Song army. That's nice! Let's take a good look at this time! As a result, he really went to report to Xi Luosa: "The Song army is simply a waste of firewood!" It is also necessary to divide the troops and attack together. That coach named Wang Hou is a stupid donkey! And the eunuch named Tong Guan, how can the eunuch lead the troops? I saw him as timid as a mouse, "Good! Xi Cheng Luosa immediately led his troops out of Zongge City and came to the ancient city of Pujiang. But suddenly I heard that the 3rd Route Army of the Song Army was close to the rendezvous, and it was the new king of Tibet, Xi Cheng Luosa, who was really frightened, and he immediately fled 20 miles back, and set up a position in Gepitang in the east of Zongge City, and wanted to fight with the Song army here to fight the victory or defeat!

This idea was considered stupid at the time and later. But Wang Hou knew the true intention of Xi Cheng Luosa at the first time. This is really a special Tibetan person, who seems to have done stupid things on the surface. After all, in the past 20 years, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty has pacified the Hehuang Department at least 3 times with its field capabilities, which is a gap that cannot be narrowed, and every Tubo person has to admit it whether he wants to or not-going out of the city and fighting in the field of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is tantamount to suicide! But this time is different, Wang Hou ran too fast, he just rested in October last year, and went out again in March this year, the army is still in a period of fatigue, not to mention that now the 3rd Song Army has not really met! Now take the initiative to catch up, wait for work, fight exhausted, and the odds are great! If they really win, defeat the Song army in a field battle, which will bring a chain reaction to the entire Hehuang Tubo, and every Tubo person will take advantage of the fire to loot, and the Western Song army will be buried in this land called Xihe Road that they once recovered!

In order to achieve this goal, he tried his best to bring all 60,000 troops to the battlefield...

In the face of challenges, Wang Hou not only did not back down, but accelerated his speed, leading the Chinese army to catch up with Gao Yongneng's front army! Zhang Jie, on the other hand, kept a precise distance from Wang Hou's army in parallel lines and steadily approached the battlefield!

The Tubo people first went to Gepitang, which is the most favorable terrain in the local area, and the Song army chose a small hill north of Gepitang, where they gathered their troops, lined up in formation, and attacked the Tuboans!

Losing the geographical advantage first, it seems that the Xihe Army made a bigger mistake in addition to fatigue? But soon the Tubo people will know what changes will happen to the Song army's selection of the northern array? That made Rosa want to cry without tears!

On the 9th, the battle unfolded, and the direction was completely controlled by the Song army! They first advanced slowly and put pressure on the Tubo, and sure enough, the Tubo people who were under great pressure reacted, and their cavalry rushed down from Gepitang, and the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry was earth-shattering, but the movement of troops was too obvious...

Wang Houming striker Gao Yongnian withstands! He sent cavalry to outflank the back of the Tibetans. Zhang Jie, who was in the rear army, took the opportunity to cross the river and led the light cavalry to charge Xiluo Sa, who was standing on the high hill and watching the battle!

The tactics were right, but the effect was not significant. The Tubo people are 60,000 troops, all cavalry arms, this is a terrible number, in the previous war history, even if the largest battles such as the Battle of Yanyun, the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, the Five Roads Expedition, etc., even if the number of troops is more than 300,000, there is no time for 60,000 cavalry to go out at the same time! 60,000 cavalry, this is the proud capital of the king of Tibet, Xi Luosa, to tell the truth: he has this force, and he is equipped with all kinds of ideas. If the Tubo people are really united, even if he fights all these 60,000 people, the victorious Western Song Army will also be greatly injured, and there will be a greater Qingtang City and my father Xibawen behind! The Song army will definitely be eaten by the Tubo army!

This is something that Wang Hou and Tong Guan can't bear, but at the same time, they can't avoid it. The Song army recovered the Xihe, starting from the first generation of Wang Shao, and the fight was prestige! Especially the last two Wang Zhan and Wang Hou, they must win, and they must win beautifully and neatly! Otherwise, the Tubo people who have been subdued will have different intentions again, and these will force Wang Hou, the son of Wang Shao, to fight with the most courageous attitude!

Seeing that the consumption is inevitable, at the critical moment, changes occur suddenly. The wind is raging, and the storm is coming. The storm outside the fortress rolled up the wind and sand, blowing from behind the Song army to the Tubo people. (To be continued......)
