Chapter 353: Mo Ming's Punishment

But this is just an idea, if Zhao Kuangyi is dead, it is useless to bring it up, and no one even listens to it.

It stands to reason that Zhao Kuangyi will not die, but God knows what to do.

Song Jiu did not believe that this history was completely consistent with the history of his previous life.

This is the case, because Song Jiu, although the battle was very similar to the battle of Gaoliang River in the previous life, there were also differences. The military reforms promoted by Song Jiu, such as the high pension and reward system, also raised the morale of the generals slightly higher than in previous lives. Advanced weapons, abundant steel, and a single elimination, the army's combat effectiveness is also slightly higher.

So bring about a series of changes.

For example, Yelu Huge, he rushed to Zhao Kuangyi at the risk of death, and was hit by an arrow in his previous life, but he couldn't ride because he was seriously injured, so he chased him to Zhuozhou with a light car and let him command left and right. But in the battle in this life, because the bow and arrow were sharper, it directly caused him to fall into a coma, so the mortality rate of the Song army in this life was also decreasing.

For example, in the previous life, Zhao Kuangyi fled to Jintaitun, and the generals fled back to Zhuozhou. But in this life, Zhao Kuangyi sent Cui Han to appease him, and it was decided in Zhuozhou.

This is a change that Song Jiu brought about for the good, but Song Jiu was worried about bringing about a bad change.

He was perfecting his thoughts, and it was getting dark.

After eating, Song Jiu still came to the city.

The weather was very good on this day, the starry sky was bright at night, in the night without fog, the stars in the sky were like a dream, he stared at the northeast direction, not far from Zhuozhou to Zhongjing of Liao, if it was in the previous life, he drove for only a few hours, but now it is like the end of the world.

It's late at night. There are very few mosquitoes in the north, and the night breeze is cool, Song Jiu held his head and leaned on the city wall half asleep, but no one dared to disturb him, everyone knew that the slaughter of Lu Dao attached great importance to human life, and after the construction of Taiyuan New Town, there were still some stubborn people who were unwilling to go, and the soldiers were anxious and ready to set fire. Song Jiusheng stopped the soldiers. Then he sent a large army to forcibly tie up the people one by one, and then sent soldiers to search from house to house, and only after finding that there was no one left, did he let the army destroy the city.

The generals of this war knew that they could not do it. But no one dared to propose. So much so that Song Jiu's objection was invalid. But now that so many soldiers have died, the prime minister is not in a good mood.

I don't know how long it took, and a team of centaurs flashed out in the distance.

Song Jiu hurriedly stood up.

Out of that torch came a man. He shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Song Jiuyi issued one order after another, including looking for Zhao Kuangyi, but the south was secondary, mainly for fear of something happening in the north.

But the action was very big, and before the scouts could find Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi heard about it, including some things that happened in Zhuozhou City. Zhao Kuangyi was worried, these thieves must not really make their nephews emperors, and the consequences are out of control. So regardless of the fatigue and the arrow wounds on his body, he sat in an ox cart and rushed to Zhuozhou City.

The soldiers in the city cheered when they heard this.

Although the emperor fled shamefully, it is good to be alive, otherwise even the emperor will be killed by the other party, so how can he have the confidence to fight against the Khitan.

The bigwigs hurried out of the city.

Zhao Kuangyi entered the city, suddenly looked at Song Jiu, and said in a low voice: "Song Qing, you are very good." ”

Enough is enough.

He trusted Song Jiu, and just because Song Jiu settled people's hearts in Zhuozhou, it was enough to be rewarded.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Kuangyi summoned the soldiers and asked them about their losses and casualties.

Then nodded, the casualties were better than Song Jiu imagined, and they were also better than Zhao Kuangyi imagined.

Let everyone disperse, but leave Song Jiu and Yang Ye behind.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yang Ye and suddenly said, "Yang Qing, you dare to lie." ”

Yang Ye trembled.

Song Jiu said: "It was the minister who hesitated, so he authorized Yang Ye not to reveal the truth. ”

Zhao Kuangyi sighed: "Song Jiu, who do you think I am?" ”

"The minister is guilty."

"It's not you who are guilty, it's me who is guilty." Zhao Kuangyi said regretfully. When the capital did not send a large army, Song Jiu said that the Khitan should not be underestimated, after getting Taiyuan, don't be greedy for Youzhou, you can try Youzhou, but be patient. Later, when he came to Zhenzhou, Song Jiu persuaded again, but he didn't listen. At that time, Pan Mei's eyes were bright, and Zhao Kuangyi also saw it, Yu Gong was a man of literature and a martial arts, and Yu Zhi was Weng's son-in-law after all, so he should not have seen it.

However, the loyal ministers were recognized, and only in the city of Zhuozhou did they know who was loyal and who was not loyal.

"Tell me what's going on in the city?"

"Your Majesty, at that time, there were rumors in the army, the three armies were leaderless, the six armies were in a hurry, some people said some bad proposals, but they also thought about the overall situation, otherwise if something bad happened, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would be destroyed, and the Khitan iron cavalry would roll south, and I would be in danger. Please don't pursue it, Your Majesty. ”

"I don't blame anyone, I ask you again, do you calculate that I will definitely lose?" Song Jiu excused Shi Shouxin and them, but Zhao Kuangyi just asked, obviously not wanting to go into this topic.

"No, although the minister is worried in the rear, he doesn't dare to say whether he wins or loses, but the two armies are fighting, if the strength of the two countries is equal, it is normal for each other to win or lose. For example, in the dispute between Jin and Liang, the two countries won and lost each other, fought for decades, exhausted the hard work of two generations, and Li Ke used father and son to laugh the most and became orthodox in the Central Plains. Therefore, when the minister and Yang Ye discussed, they privately calculated where the victory would come from, and where the defeat would come from. Think about the good side, what the minister should do in the rear, so that His Majesty can add icing on the cake, and think about the bad side, how to remedy it, so that the loss can be reduced. Therefore, Yang Ye was sent to wander on the edge of the battlefield, just in case. ”

Zhao Kuangyi sighed again.

Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, the minister sent a spy into Youzhou City to investigate, and heard one thing, Yelu Xiuge was in a coma after an arrow, so the minister had an idea, and the voice hit the west. ”

"You mean that the Khitan forces are concentrated in Youzhou, and our dynasty can use troops in the clouds."

"Your Majesty, no, the three armies were tired, and then marched to the east of the river and used troops in the clouds, even if the Khitan clouds were empty, they might not be able to achieve victory. And if the minister's expectations are good, the Khitans also have to be faced, although this battle allowed them to keep Youzhou, but there are also losses, Yelu Huge is in a hurry, there should be more reinforcements behind, and then they will retaliate against our dynasty, including Hebei, but also Hedong. Therefore, the real empty place is in the rear of the Khitan. So the minister's idea is ......"

"How can that be?"

"In addition to the ministers, those who dare to go do not work, and those who do not dare to go, or disdain to go, the opportunity is fleeting in the blink of an eye, although if you want to take back Youzhou, you can't fight for it overnight, but will it take a lifetime for Your Majesty to take back Youyun?"

"Song Qing, the country also needs you."

"What the minister does is just the icing on the cake, without the minister, with His Majesty, the country will get better and better. Especially at the moment of entering the city, His Majesty stopped the three armies from retreating slightly, so that the soldiers were angry before entering the city, so as not to vent their anger and slaughter the city after the soldiers entered the city. Therefore, please ask Your Majesty to go where the brigadier will go. ”

"Are you going to bring those generals over?"

"Your Majesty, the Khitan may invade the south, and some of the generals who can be taken must stay in Hebei and Hedong, and the minister's trip is mainly to sharpen, so I want to bring some young generals over, such as General Yang's eldest son and second son, or, Your Majesty will let General Gao Qiong go with me, so I have a greater certainty," Song Jiu said.

In fact, there were many famous ministers in the Song Dynasty at this time, including many young generals, but Song Jiu couldn't remember all of them, not only the generals, but even the famous saint Li Xin, who later became famous, he didn't know what to do.

"Gao Qiong has a fate with you to go to Bashu, Yang Qing's second son ......" Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yang Ye, and said happily: "Yang Qing, I entered Taiyuan City, Wei Qing continued to fight bloodily, and I was a soldier with countless soldiers, but Song Jiu appreciated it." ”

"The minister is guilty."

"If it's not guilty, the two countries are at war, each is its master, and Qing's loyalty is also, otherwise, how can Song Qing appreciate you."

Zhao Kuangyi guessed wrong, Song Jiu's appreciation of Yang Ye was a romance in later generations. And Song Jiu was also afraid that Pan Mei would continue to become Pan Renmei, and Song Jiu would become Song Guozhang.

The Song army slowly retreated south.

Some people were taken captive, but the section from Zhuozhou to Jintaitun was mostly mountainous, and there were not many people, so it could not make the Youzhou area break their muscles and bones.

Yelu Xiuge's injuries gradually improved, and after hearing about it, all kinds of considerations, coupled with the fact that Song Jun's military discipline had also recovered, did not dare to pursue. The Song Dynasty was even worse in this war, but both countries were chicken feathers.

There were also many Khitan soldiers killed and wounded, and there was no gain, so it also brought economic trauma to the Khitan, and what was worse was that most of the crops in Youzhou were trampled and had no harvest, and at the same time lost Hedong, an ally.

The Song Dynasty suffered heavier losses, sacrificing countless soldiers, even Zhao Kuangyi was hit by several arrows, and even worse, the economic losses were even greater. Before the war, countless money was spent on supplies, grain, grass and weapons, and even more money was spent for the next pension, unless Zhao Kuangyi overturned the edict he had issued.

After this battle, the money and silk stored in Zhao Kuangyin's treasury finally made Zhao Kuangyi spend almost nothing, and it became empty......

But as Song Jiu said in Zhuozhou, if Zhao Kuangyi accepted the lesson, at least before the Second Northern Expedition in the future, Zhao Kuangyi's confidence and the confidence of the generals have not been beaten, and there will be no Liaophobia, then it is also a good thing.

The car drove to Dingzhou, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly issued an edict, ordering Cui Han and Dingwu Jiedu to make Meng Xuanzhe and others stay in Tun Dingzhou, Zhangde Jiedu to make Li Han Qiongtun Zhenzhou, and Heyang Jiedu to make Cui Yanjin and other Tunguannan, so that they could be engaged cheaply.

Then he called a few generals over, drew a formation map, and ordered the generals to divide into eight formations, each of which was a hundred paces apart to wait for the Liao army, and then said: "The Khitan will come to Koubian, and the troops should be ambushed and attacked, but it will be a great victory." ”

Song Jiu didn't know about this matter, otherwise he would have stopped it.

The car is driven to Dingzhou. Sub-town state.

Xingzhou.

Ci Zhou.

The second daimyo house.

The Second German Qing Army.

Ci Lan Zhou.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuangyi issued a strange edict, with Lu Mengzheng knowing Mizhou, and Zhang Qixian as the general judge of Dengzhou, these two people began to show their talents, and this appointment is not strange. But there is also an order behind it, and Song Jiu is sentenced to Dengzhou for the fair chapter of Qi State.

If it is from the title and vacant position, Song Jiu is promoted, Qi is a big country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is rarely used to confer the title of Duke of the Minister State, but why is it only a Dengzhou governor? I don't know where this has gone. (To be continued......)
