The war first started on the front line of Waqiao Pass, and the Song general Jing Si only had nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses, and he was defeated, but he actually let him escape back to Waqiao Pass safely.

At the same time, Cui Yanjin and Mi Xin and other departments arrived one after another, facing each other across the water, but they could not enter the customs.

At this time, a brave general in the city, named Zhang Shi, volunteered to stand up and want to disperse the Khitan army, so that Cui Yanjin and others could enter the city.

Zhang Shi was very brave, but the other person was even braver, seeing that Zhang Shi and his men were like no enemy in the army, Yelu Hugo personally got on his horse, threw himself into the formation, and beheaded Zhang Shi under the horse.

However, what is convincing is that although the main general died, Zhang Shi's subordinates were not in a hurry, calmly responded to the battle, and successfully retreated to Waqiao Pass, without the whole army being annihilated.

Yelu Hugo did not tackle the problem, but looked at the army of Cui Yanjin and others.

He discovered a shortcoming of the Song army, all the troops and horses came to the aid of Waqiaoguan, gathered temporarily, and there was no unified command and deployment, so he decided to personally lead the elite cavalry to raid. The next day, Yelu Xiuge crossed the river with iron cavalry and stormed, at this time the Song army was independent of each other, and was caught off guard, in the face of Yelu Xiuge's assault, the formation could not be well organized, and the departments had to do a simple mutual cover in order to protect themselves, and fought and retreated. drove the Song army to Mozhou, beheaded tens of thousands, and captured several Song generals.

Liao Jingzong was overjoyed and said: "Er Yong is too famous, if everyone is like Qing, why not worry?" ”

This one......

Don't say it, as long as the Khitan produces ten Yelu Hugh brothers and has to be reused, then Zhao Kuangyi will not have time to cry.

Losing to Yelu Hugo is not ugly, but Cui Yanjin and others are not convinced, and they reorganize the team, wanting to be ashamed.

On the other side, Yelu Hugo was suppressing the Khitan generals. Seeing Jeruxiugo's victory, the other generals wanted to do the same. Yelu Xiuge shook his head and said, "Today I seized the opportunity of the Song army to raid, and they also found the problem. Going again tomorrow won't work. Our army crossed the river to attack the Song army and had little chance of winning, and the goal was only to recapture Xiongzhou, not to annihilate the Song army outside the city, just to block them, why attack them, only to increase the danger? ”

Because Yelu Hugo saw a problem, first of all, Master Zhang, the main general was killed in battle, but his subordinates were not chaotic. Calmly withdraw to Waqiao Pass.

His own surprise attack, although he won a complete victory, did not cause a complete collapse of the Song army. These two articles prove that the Song army is not weak in combat and well-organized, and if it wants to underestimate the enemy, it will fail.

The Khitan others did not listen, and the next day tens of thousands of iron horsemen were eager to make meritorious service and crossed the river to attack, but this time the Song army was under the command of Cui Yanjin. Lined up in a phalanx, in turn, compressed the Liao army to the river, defeated it, and beheaded more than 3,000 people.

The Khitan attack on Waqiao Pass was unsuccessful. Seeing the steady stream of Song Dynasty reinforcements, at the suggestion of Yelu Huge, the army retreated.

If you fight. You can win, you can lose. A victory will also be a pyrrhic victory. The Song Dynasty still had an army and would not lose the country. It won't even lose the Waqiao Pass. But if they are defeated, these 200,000 soldiers and horses are almost all the family foundations of the Khitan, they are gone, and the various departments rebel, and the Khitan will be torn apart in an instant.

Take it when you see it.

Really.

Hearing that the Khitan army of 200,000 was heading south, Zhao Kuangyi was like drinking stimulants, with Zhao Yanmei as the defender of Tokyo, Wang Renzhen as the internal deployment, and the privy council Chen Congxin as the deputy to the north.

When the car arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, he heard that the Khitans had withdrawn, and Zhao Kuangyi wanted to attack Youzhou again.

The first attack on Youzhou failed, that was when there was no reward for the soldiers, and the army was tired, but now?

Li Fangjin admonished: "The people of Northern Rong have been troubled since ancient times, and they often commit crimes in autumn. His Majesty is bathed in the wind and rain, rushing to the strict, pro-royal clothes, in order to stop the people. The enemy is frightened and flees in fear, so it is cut and easy to decay. If there are millions of rampant people, and the people of the queen will be hanged, and the situation will be attacked, and the date can be determined. It is like a gathering of soldiers, the transfer of salary is capital, and the area of Heshuo, even the years of flying, recent abuse, especially extremely depressed, although occasionally recommended in Fengsui, I am afraid that it is unbearable to be transferred, it is cold, and it is good to return to work. In this case, Xiao Kou is running at night, and the border is peaceful, if he patrols the fortress, he will be shocked and majestic, and he is afraid of the remnants of the demon, and he is also afraid of working hard. Fu Wangshen precept Yuwei, Xuanshi Kyoto, good at raising Xiaoxiong, intensive training, strict border counties, extensive military reserves, lectures on martial arts, repair and attack tools, the overflow of the Zhufu Collection, the complete wealth of the Luli, between the months and years, it is not too late to use the teacher. ”

This is where Song Jiu looked down on literati.

The reason why Yanyun is cut down, and the portal has to be cut down, what hangs the people of the queen, it is extremely hypocritical.

But the country's economy is really overwhelmed.

Not only the Song Dynasty, but also the Khitan after more than a year of tragic battles, the economy also began to wither.

So Zhao Kuangyi foolishly issued an edict, asking Cao Han to repair the military cities of Xiong, Ba, Pingrong, Polu, Qianning, etc., and open the Nanhe River, so that Xiongzhou could reach Mozhou and be able to pass through Caoyun, and then hunt in the Daimyo's mansion, and then return to the capital.

Zhao Kuangyi arrived in the capital, and many people suggested that the speed of Youzhou, Zhang Qixian, who had just returned to the capital to serve as the left of the left, was on the sparse advice, Hedong Xinping, the people's hearts were not at peace, and there was no military village to build a defense on the border, so it was necessary to guard the country's vital points first, increase the barriers, and the people's hearts were stable, so that the troops could go out of Yanmen and Yangwu Valley.

The border village must choose people, it is better to choose a pawn than to choose a general, it is better to be willful than to appoint people, there are good generals in the border passes, and there are good ministers to make the people rest, the fields increase and the silkworms are wide, and the agriculture accumulates grains, and the enemy is willing to die and suffer?

The sage first and then the end, the inside to support the outside, the people are the this, the territory is the end, hope to choose Confucianism, interview the two Zhejiang Nanjing Lake, two rivers and Lingnan Hedong, there are pseudo-edicts and harsh people, change the government, to virtue Huaiyuan, to benefit the people, then the return of the far people, can stand.

Zhang Qixian's intentions are good, the people are the fundamental, the repeated use of troops, the state is tight, and taxes in various places are gradually increasing. You have to rest and recuperate for a while.

But neither Zhang Qixian, nor Zhao Pu, or the later famous ministers Tian Xi and Wang Yuyan did not say the most important point, the portal.

The Ming Dynasty doesn't count, although it has Yanyun, but Li Zicheng has almost done it.

Just look at the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty didn't even build the Great Wall, why didn't the Turks dare to go deeper? There is no way to go deeper, unless the cities are stormed one by one, but the nomads are good at field warfare, but they are not good at attacking cities. But if the city is not attacked, the remaining troops in these cities will be a great disaster, and once they go deeper, the army in front will be blocked. Block it in the back, and then something big will happen. Therefore, the Turks harassed the border during the time of Wu Zetian. It's just that when I arrived in Dingshen and other states, I didn't dare to go south.

But there is no depth in Youzhou. The nomadic iron cavalry can easily go south, such as the battle of Lanzhou, and the southern invasion of the Jin people.

If you can't take it down, there is no way, if you can take it down, even if everyone suffers, it is still very cost-effective, it is a century-old plan.

It can only be said that before you come up with a good plan, you can't attack blindly, otherwise it will be a big defeat.

Zhang Qixian's advice. finally made Zhao Kuangyi press his mind, and to put it simply, as Li Fang said, the people and the country couldn't bear the repeated wars.

In fact, he still has one thing that he did not say, the war caused harm to the people of the Song Dynasty, but on the contrary, it would not cause harm to the people of the Khitan? Why did Zhao Kuangyin prepare so much money and silk in the inner treasury, did he really buy heads?

There is another one, why did Liao Jingzong withdraw his troops. This is a secret, Zhang Qixian is not to blame, and it was not until Song Jiu returned that this secret was revealed.

The Great War in the North began and fell, and another small battle was fought in the South.

Hou Renbao, Sun Quanxing and Liu Cheng had to send troops.

There are precedents for Song Jiu and Pan Mei to follow. So the army was sent by land and water, but it was changed, and it was not chosen to be in the West Daojiang (Red River). directly into the inner abdomen of Jiaozhi, so Liu Cheng was not sure. After all, they are not Pan Mei, Yin Chongke and Wang Ming.

So it was changed to the Baiteng River in the north of the West Dao River. It is close to Yongzhou and can cooperate with water and land in a timely manner. The idea is not bad, either. Before there is no absolute advantage, it is best to be Bai Tengjiang, whether it is the Southern Han Dynasty or the later Yuan and Meng, they all fight like this, victory or defeat has nothing to do with it, this is in line with the art of war.

Liu Cheng first entered the Baiteng River, defeated the Jiaozhi naval army, killed thousands of Jiaozhi soldiers, and captured some warships. Hou Renbao immediately sent troops after hearing the news, but the main general Sun Quanxing was stranded in Huabu for 70 days, Hou Renbao was very angry, and urged him several times, Sun Quanxing somehow refused to send troops.

The next thing was even more funny, after Liu Cheng arrived in stride, Sun Quanxing had no choice but to send troops, the two armies met, and sent scouts to investigate, and the scouts came back to report, saying that no enemy was found, and the two discussed, if there is no enemy, then withdraw the troops. So he withdrew to Huabu in the south of Yongzhou.

The funniest thing is that they withdrew their troops, and they didn't say to Hou Renbao, Hou Renbao's stupid lone army went deep, the enemy army came to surrender, the naïve Hou Renbao went to surrender, unfortunately he was ambushed and died, the Song army was defeated in this battle, and it could not be regarded as a big defeat, thousands of people died, and there were more soldiers who died on the other side of Jiaozhi.

When he died, he left behind countless messes.

First of all, several Song soldiers who fled back ran to the city of Yongzhou to rob the people's property, and spread rumors in the city, making the people panic. However, at this time, Guangnan had two famous ministers, one was Zhou Wei, the deputy envoy for transshipment. This is a legendary minister.

If Zhou Wei had not stayed in Lingnan for more than ten years, it was very likely that the policies pursued by Song Jiu would have been destroyed by a group of mediocre officials.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were only more than 170,000 households in the Southern Han Dynasty, and now there are more than 330,000 households, not entirely due to the increase caused by benevolent government, but also the people taken captive from Jiaozhi, the barbarian households included in the household register, and some hidden households. However, the actual increase in the number of households was also close to 100,000, which was the fastest growing area in the Song Dynasty.

In the middle, Zhou Wei made a lot of contributions.

This little matter was easy for him to solve, first beheading a few of the plundering soldiers for public display, and then letting the soldiers unarmour and enter the city, so that the people's hearts were at ease.

However, there is still a mess, compared with Pan Mei Song Jiu's expedition, this line is almost funny, and the preparation is even more insufficient. First of all, the medicinal materials, then the few chess pieces that Song Jiu laid in Lang Son were not used, and then the source of soldiers. That time, all the soldiers used were Lingnan soldiers, but this time most of them were Jinghu soldiers, and even soldiers from the Yangtze River region.

From Quang Nam to Cochin forests are dense, and there are many miasma poisons, which are actually malaria and various malignant diseases caused by water and soil adaptation. If the individual problem is not big, there are now many ships organized by the Yanai to do business overseas, as well as Song Jiu's operation on those islands, and malaria, but the harm is not great. But in the military, the nature is different, and thousands of people get together, and it is easy to get infected. Therefore, many of Sun Quanxing's soldiers were infected with malaria, and they did not dare to attack Jiaozhi. However, they did not dare to retreat.

Just stuck in Huabu, there are more and more sick soldiers.

There was also a famous minister in Guangnan, Kou Zhun's father-in-law, Xu Zhongxuan, who immediately made a decision and ordered the withdrawal of troops. In order to facilitate the availability of food, Xu Zhongxuan asked the army to be stationed in Zhuzhou, opened the treasury of the government, rewarded himself, and then found a large number of herbs and doctors to treat the soldiers.

This is even more funny, marching and fighting, food and grass, military doctors, herbs, this is a must, but there is no one in the army, let Xu Zhongxuan save it......

What a ghost fight!

But it won't end like this, because of Lu Duoxun, not only ruined thousands of soldiers, but also lost Zhao Pu's eldest brother-in-law, what will Zhao Pu think?

It was certainly wrong for Lu Duosun to do this, but Zhao Pu also did not deserve sympathy, because he was more cruel and shameless.

However, Zhao Pu is much more skilled than Lu Duoxun, he has seen the opportunity, and Zhao Defang died inexplicably this spring.

Zhao Pu hasn't done it yet, he's waiting...... (To be continued......)
