But how did he face the Great Song Emperor? Every year the envoy of the Song Dynasty came over, he did not bow to the decree, and he did not give gifts, at most he just made a gesture, and then asked with a smile, "Is the uncle of the Southern Dynasty how is the son of heaven lately?"

This is the situation that Wang Shao is facing! So one thing became clear: what he had to do was not to take back the two prefectures of Hehe and Huang to the mainland, but to reach Hehuang, he had to cut off the tentacles that the Tubo people stretched out in front of him one by one, and clean up the road ahead...

He'd spent two or three years doing this before the actual battle began...

Now, Wang Shao's base is still far away from the Tongyuan Army on Qinfeng Road, and he will go out from here to fight alone in a vast foreign land! No allies, no reinforcements! Every step forward is unpredictable and irreversible...

The first enemy he chose was very particular, not the Tibetan but the Qiang. This is a reversal of a traditional concept. Don't they all say that "the man shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first"? Why do you put the genuine Tubo people not to fight, but to fight the Qiang people who follow you?

This is Wang Shao's special wisdom! May I ask if at the beginning of the war, go straight to the point first, and live and die with the Tubo people, what will the situation become? Answer: The Tibetans will gather the Qiang people and hug them together to fight against the Song army!

But what if the Qiang people are moved first? There will be subtle changes in the psychology of the Tibetan people. For the sake of the minions, the master will not fight easily, and will even sit on the wall and watch to see the real strength of the enemy ...

And the development of the battle situation also completely confirmed Wang Shao's wisdom. On the 12th, Wang Anshi played to Emperor Shenzong: Wang Shao has expanded the land for 1,200 miles and recruited more than 30 million people. Compare Wang Shao's work to the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Quai's efforts to conquer the Xiongnu for thousands of miles during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...

Month. The 9th new law was launched by Wang Shao's victory - Baoma Law! This is aimed at the biggest drawback of the Song army for a long time - the lack of horses! The Horse Protection Act allows for the breeding of horses by the private sector in addition to the specialized horse breeding institutions established by the state. First in Kaifeng and Shaanxi trial. If the armor guards are willing to raise horses, each household can raise 1 horse, and the rich family can raise 2 horses. Horse breeders are exempt from paying for the change of fate. But every year the imperial court will inspect the situation of horse breeding. Like a horse dead. Households above the third class should be compensated in full, and those in the fourth and fifth classes should be compensated half. These horses are usually allowed for civilian use and are used by the armor to catch thieves. In wartime, the military is deployed. This not only reduces government spending, but also increases the number of horses and equips more cavalry. But as soon as the law was introduced, it was condemned in common with the previous law: horses were supposed to be important strategic goods monopolized by the state. The common people are good citizens, so they should cultivate the land and pay more taxes for the state and us scholars. You are now engaged in the 'all the people are soldiers'. What exactly do you want to do?

On June 27, Song Shenzong issued an edict to establish a martial arts school to train qualified officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty at this time. It is not Wang Shao's way to use soldiers. On the 3rd day of the leap month, Zhang Dian went out of Beijing to inspect Jinghu North Road and quell the local barbarian rebellion.

August. Wang Shao waved his troops straight in. Quickly entered the north of Qinzhou, near Taoshui, near the Mobang Mountain, Zhuniuling area, where there were a large number of Mengjiaoluo, Moershuiba and other Qiang people.

When they reached the ground, the Song soldiers were accustomed to line up in the plain area at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the enemy on the mountain to rush down. Array... Await... Wang Shao felt very dizzy, it seems that Song Jun was really beaten out of the psychological barrier by Li Yuanhao, no matter what he thinks about at all times, he is defensive...

But at this time, the situation was that the Song army took the initiative to attack and invade! Especially when the Tubo people don't know the truth and are unwilling or even too late to send troops, they must first defeat the Qiang people here! That's where every second counts. Such as in the battle under the mountain. Regardless of whether they can defeat the Qiang people in the end, the other party just needs not to go down the mountain. Sitting on the mountain and watching you set up a formation to play, the Song army can't afford it!

There is only one way in front of Wang Shao: storm the mountain! For this reason, Wang Shao ordered "the soldiers are put to death, and those who dare to retreat will be beheaded"

As a result, the Song soldiers, who grew up in the gentle area of the Central Plains, wore full armor, held weapons, and braved the rain of arrows and stones to attack on the back. This is almost an impossible task, and what is even worse is what happens when the attack reaches a certain slope: the Qiang people are very cunning, they grow up in this mountainous area, and they know when the Song army will be the most embarrassed. When the Song army attacked a certain position, the advance was very tired, and the retreat was a little far, when they suddenly rushed down...

There was no way, the Song army immediately couldn't support it and began to retreat. At this time, Wang Shao began to change his clothes, took off his civil official robe, and put on a suit of armor. Countless battles in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have proved a truth: no matter what the equipment of the army is, what the battle situation is, the most important thing is morale! The commander had two choices, one was "Brothers, rush me" and the other was "Brothers, follow me" and every GI knew which of these two diametrically opposed orders was the one who really treated them as "brothers"...

Wang Shao was like this, he put on his armor and squeezed into the charging team. In the entire battlefield, he was the most sober one. If you don't win this battle, the years of preparation will come to naught in an instant, and even the prince in the capital will be affected by him and become nothing!

The fight to the death begins! Without any strategy or luck, Wang Shao succeeded in the counterattack and rushed to the top of the mountain. From this, he took advantage of the victory to pursue "obtain the leader's armor and burn his clan tent" and "Taoxi Earthquake"

But there is no time to rejoice, the result of the great earthquake is that the real enemy has been killed! The Tubo people had already understood who they were facing, and Mu Zheng, the king of Tubo in Hezhou, quickly sent reinforcements. As soon as Wang Shao succeeded in the attack, he faced a problem - defense! Of course, it is also possible to be unguarded and quickly retreat to Qinzhou before the arrival of the enemy army, so that it will be unscathed. But why did you fight this battle, climb such a high mountain, and die so many people?

At this time, Wang Shao's answer was different from all the previous battles of the Song Dynasty, and he clearly knew what he was doing!

Invading a piece of land, whether it is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun or the Land of Hehuang, the most important thing is to destroy the vitality of the enemy! If you pay attention to the gains and losses of one city and one pool, you will besiege the city like Song Taizong, and be defeated in a battle after being assembled by the enemy! On the contrary, looking at the invasion of the Liao State, I always think of looking for the main force of the Song army to face off! If you kill one piece, there will be a vacuum in the local area, and the Liao army can do whatever it wants... City? When only the common people are left in the city, it is only a treasury for the enemy. No more resistance!

Wang Shao saw through this military concept, and he chose a seemingly thrilling bright road - why should he defend it? Why retreat? I'm here to invade!

He ordered his subordinate Jing Sili, the son of the famous general Jingtai, to lead the elite Jingyuan soldiers in the Western Army to bluff at Zhuniuling, while he himself led the main force to quietly turn to the west. Towards the direction of Wusheng... In the vast desert, why did you choose Wusheng? As mentioned in the previous "Ping Rong Ce": This is the opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty to rise and fall. Similarly, in the battle between the Song Dynasty and Tubo in the battle of Hehuang, it was just as sensitive... The person sent by Mu Zheng was named Blind Medicine, obviously he also understood this, and Blind Medicine led reinforcements from Wusheng far away, wanting to catch Wang Shao off guard. But Wang Shao just greeted him. This is the difference between him and the generals of the previous Song Dynasty - if you want to fight, you will fight! I can't ask for it! In Wang Shao's military career, he never missed the opportunity to face off against the enemy's main force...

The Battle of Wusheng. The blind medicine that came to sneak attack was counterattacked by Wang Shao! He never thought that on his own territory, he would suddenly encounter Song Jun!

The blind medicine was defeated and fled with his army. More than 3 months later, he will come to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty... There is one fact that must be noted, that is, how risky Wang Shao's trip is! It's not that the Tibetans have a favorable location and how strong the cavalry is. But blind medicine has a decisive advantage - Wusheng Fort. It was already a fortress. And it's in the hands of the Tibetans!

As a result, Wang Shao not only had to make a large-scale detour to find the enemy's main force to face off, but also to prevent the blind medicine and Wushengbao from uniting. The result of the actual battle was that he not only beat the blind medicine to the desert and fled, but also took advantage of the situation to go straight to Wusheng Fort and drove the Tubo people out of this stronghold!

On the 16th, Wusheng Fort has since had a new name. Wang Shao immediately began to build the city, and it was called Zhentao Army!

27th. Tang Kun of the Zhiyuan was demoted. Tang Kun is a very wonderful person, and he did not rely on a diploma to enter the officialdom. Instead, he took over his father's class. Promotion is not based on political performance, but on two sentences. He first wrote to the emperor that "Qin II Hu Hai was controlled by the eunuch Zhao Gao, which led to the destruction of the country, the mistake is not that he is tough, but that he is too weak" No matter how you look at it, this sentence is just a very ordinary reading experience, what's the big deal? But he won the favor of Song Shenzong. Maybe it was because the courtiers asked the emperor to hold back his temper at that time, so that foreign countries and the country were like a spring breeze, which made Shenzong angry, so he felt that Tang Kun's words were particularly pleasant, right? The second sentence deals with how to quickly implement the new law. Tang Kun said, "The matter is very simple, as long as you kill Han Qi, Sima Guang and other opposition ministers, the new law will immediately become popular all over the world"

Tang Kun has risen to prominence and has become a pavilion member. It's just that when I wanted to go further, something happened. In a few months, he made Wang Anshi very uneasy. This person is too selfish, too purposeful, and undisguised, and more desperate than Deng Juan.

Wang Anshi could only treat him gently, without degrading the official or transferring him, and let him cool down slowly. This should be the most correct choice at that time, just ask the prime minister of a country, is there anything wrong with just slowing down the speed of promoting a person? You must know that Wang Anshi spared no effort to promote this person before Lu Dao!

But things were completely unexpected by everyone, after Tang Kun noticed Wang Anshi's coldness, he immediately turned against him and wrote more than 20 impeachment recitals, which will definitely bring down Wang Anshi and make it stink! They were all detained by the emperor, and they were not sent in the middle!

Generally speaking, if it is someone else, the matter is over. First, there is resentment, but Wang Anshi is his direct backer, if he wants to rebel, be careful to become a public enemy of officialdom! In the face of such an ungrateful person, everyone will be cold and hide far away; Second, getting angry can sometimes be like suicide. It doesn't matter how angry it is, if you skip the building once and don't die, you basically won't jump a second time. But none of this applies to Tang Kun; Third, more than 20 impeachment recitals were suppressed by the emperor, and it was obvious that the emperor did not want to make a big fuss. Even if you don't take Wang Anshi in your eyes, you have to give a few points for the emperor's face, right? No! In Tang Kun's heart, there is no second concept of interest at all! Only his personal mood and future are the most important!

It is said that every 5 days, the officials will enter the palace under the leadership of the prime minister to meet the emperor to say goodbye. It's called a "living day," and it happens on a living day of the month.

The normal procedure was going on that day, and suddenly Tang Kun stood up, he knelt in the center of the main hall, and asked the emperor to officially ascend to the throne, and he wanted to do something. Shenzong immediately understood what he was going to do, more than 20 impeachments, which was not an ordinary force. Shenzong shook his head and said that in another day, he still wanted to make big things small. But Tang Kun can't get up on his knees, and he must deal with it immediately today! There is no way, the Divine Sect has no choice but to ascend to the throne, and if it continues to entangle, other ministers will think elsewhere...

Shenzong ascended to the throne, and Tang Kun's opportunity came. The first sentence of the opening chapter exposes the true nature "What the ministers want to say is the illegal things of the ministers, please let the ministers state them one by one in front of His Majesty" Okay, all the ministers, including Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo... Don't let anyone go!

Next, he inserted the wat board and unfolded the chapter, but he didn't read it, and suddenly turned his face to Wang Anshi, and said the most powerful words in the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, "Wang Anshi went to the throne to listen to the zazi"

Wang Anshi was stunned, what he didn't understand was not how Tang Kun suddenly turned his face, but that the Song Dynasty had never had this rule, you can read whatever you want, how can the prime minister of the current dynasty come out and listen? When did you read the strike? But silence doesn't work, in front of a person who completely turns his face and is determined to find fault, it will only make the storm more violent. Just when Wang Anshi hesitated slightly, Tang Kunji changed his order to a reprimand, and shouted out such a sentence "In front of His Majesty, it is still like this, and it can be imagined outside" This sentence is extremely powerful, and Wang Anshi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth and is not afraid of his ancestors, immediately obeyed, stood up obediently, and bowed down in front of the throne to obey orders. Because Tang Kun said it very clearly, if he is stubborn again, he will despise the emperor!

Tang Kun unfolded the chapter and began to read, please be patient, recall the impeachment of Lu Zhi in front, there are only 10 charges in total, and Mr. Tang Kun actually summed up... 60 of them! Pick one of the highlights. The first point points directly to the center: Wang Anshi specializes in Weifu, and Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing and others are traitors and steal the power of the country! People in the world only know that there is Wang Anshi but do not know that there is an emperor! The second point: Wang Anshi is very annoying. But Wen Yanbo, Feng Jing and other high-ranking officials of the two governments are timid and afraid, let alone confrontation, they don't even dare to say a word! Especially Wang Jue, he was respectful to Wang Anshi like a slave at home (invincible eyes glared at Wang Jue. Wang Qi immediately admitted that he really didn't have the courage of Brother Tang, I admitted defeat, he lowered his head in shame) The third point: Yuan Jiang, Xue Xiang, and Chen Yi are Wang Anshi's domestic slaves, and they are not court officials at all, and they are commanded by him! Zhang Hu and Li Ding are Wang Anshi's minions, making trouble everywhere and framing Zhongliang! Taiwan official Zhang Shangying is Wang Anshi's eagle dog, biting people at any time, three points into the bone! They are tightly united around Wang Anshi, they are already the dynasty within the court, and the criminal group with a clear division of labor is about to be destroyed in their hands... (To be continued......)
