Chapter 113: World War II Yamato Fort

The Western Xia was short of grain and relied on imports in the event of a famine, while the Khitan in the northeast, the Uighurs in the west, and the Tibet in the southwest were all nomadic minority regimes. Therefore, the grain imported from Western Xia could only come from the Song Dynasty. Danshi, the trade between the Song and Xia was very unbalanced, and the Northern Song government often used salt, iron, and grain as a means of sanctioning the Western Xia and prohibiting trade. Although the Song Dynasty banned the import of Qingbai salt from the Western Xia by means of trade protection to protect the interests of the salt merchants in the Song Dynasty and imposed economic sanctions on the Western Xia, the smuggling trade of the Western Xia to the Song was never really interrupted.

Smuggling is indeed a bloody affair. Danshi, haven't you heard of 'someone does the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money'? In this dynasty, the smuggling channels and connections accumulated in Western Xia are intertwined, and the border generals and people on both sides are widely involved, even if it is a war, it is difficult to stop!

Yeli is stationed in Jialuchuan, where the transportation is convenient, how can he let go of this financial route, he and the lord of Yamato Fort have long colluded together, secretly know whether there is or not, and the two of them make a fortune together. This is also the reason why he was reluctant to attack Yamato Fort this year, even after the disaster last year, and the death of the little prince Danshi drove him to a dead end and had to send troops. At the same time, they also agreed to show the leaders of both sides a scene and withdraw immediately, but they encountered Zhao Ta's stinky and hard stones, and finally became a fake play.

Ye Li saw that what Zhang Junenvoy took out was the pass token he gave to the salt merchant opposite, with this can Quye River Jialu River any checkpoint unimpeded, but now it has become evidence of collaborating with the enemy, "Military envoy, this is indeed the token in my yazhong, but it has been lost a long time ago, but it turned out that they stole it!" "Yeli is not stupid, if he says that he gave it, the crime of collaborating with the enemy will be confirmed, and he can't admit it if he is killed now.

"Hehe, Yeli Military Supervisor, then these letters are also forged by the Song people?" Zhang Junenvoy took out another stack of letters and shook them and said playfully.

"This..."Ye Li was a little confused, he couldn't figure out the situation, how could the letters he exchanged with the Song people in business get into his hands, but the matter Yijing must not admit it at this point, "Military envoys, it must be those Song people's counter-plots, they must be provoking the relationship between me and the unified army, I must not believe it!" Ye Li Zhilu said that his own things had worked just now, and there was still room for maneuver after listening to the words of the military envoy, so he hurriedly climbed down the pole, and at the same time ordered someone to carry in a big box.

"Yes, I said the same to the unified army, but the unified army still had doubts, so I sent this envoy to ask, since the military supervisor has not done it, I will report it truthfully!" Zhang Junenvoy looked at the box and said with a satisfied smile, "The little prince of Danshi was killed, the unification army was extremely angry, and he wanted to bloody Yamato Fort to avenge the little prince, the military supervisor is familiar with this place, and the unification army means that he wants the military supervisor to be the vanguard and meet to attack the Song Dynasty together!" ”

"The lower officials can't ask for it, and they are willing to contribute to the front drive and the unified army!" Yeli Zhengse said, "It's just that now the prince of the Song Dynasty, King Yan, is in charge of Hedong, and frequently sends troops to invade our borders, and there are strong troops under his command who are all holding artifacts that are very difficult. ”

"This matter has long been known to the unified army, this time the army is to avenge the little prince, the second is to take advantage of his fledgling to cut off as soon as possible, although he has a weapon in his hand, but it is by no means an artifact, the good tiger can not stand the wolves, the unified army has mobilized more than 15,000 people of the Shen Yong Division this time, plus a total of more than 20,000 private soldiers of various tribes, can't he level only 3,000 people?" Zhang Junenvoy dismissed Yeli's worries and advised him to rest assured.

"Now that the unified army is victorious, the subordinate will send troops on time!" After listening to the arrangement, Yeli's heart was half relieved, and he used more than 20,000 people to deal with 3,000 people, that is, to fight the sheep with tigers, and it would be better to kill them, but he also had hidden worries in his heart, if he was defeated, then not only would he finish the game, but his relatives would also be unlucky, so he had to be cautious in this battle. …,

．．．．．．

In the blink of an eye, at the end of April, Zhao Tata's report was finally replied, in addition to reporting the battle process, his report also asked the imperial court to praise the loyal martyrs, save their families, and official their descendants. In fact, this is a simple matter, and Danshi has a lot of twists and turns because his results are too amazing. Not to mention the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, even Tong Guan was also suspicious after receiving the report, and trapped the lonely fort with a team of less than 1,000 people, not only lost the city, but also beheaded 4,000 and seized thousands of horses. He believed it, not to say that the bigwigs also believed it, they entrusted the Hedong Supervisor to send someone to check, and they knew that what they said was true, so they reported it to the emperor, but it was relatively late to bear Huang Jingchen's folds, although there was dissatisfaction, Danshi also had to admit it.

The middle position of the pacification envoy is very important, because he is in the military frontline, the performance of the army soldiers is relatively clearer than the imperial court, so whether it is the deeds of the dead soldiers or the merits of ordinary officers and soldiers, it is generally necessary for the pacification envoy to make a detailed report to the imperial court, and feedback a large amount of information in the army to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will issue an edict to the pacification department after deliberation, and it will be responsible for the relevant matters of promoting the merits.

Zhao Ji read the battle report, was drunk for three days, and was so happy that he immediately approved it and urged Zhongshu to issue a commendation. The holy decree arrived in Hedong, the matter was simple, this battle was to pacify the envoy personally led people to fight, the word was also signed by him, a cadre of personnel according to the list to catch the medicine on the line, soon the official letter, the reward of the silver money were allocated in place, two deserters were also exiled to the army, Zhao Ta announced the whole road in the name of the Hedong Road through the pacification division.

Many people understand the truth that following a good superior not only does not have to worry about eating and drinking, but promotion is not a problem, at least it is smooth. Almost all the cadres who participated in the battle of Yamato Fort were rewarded, and the two levels of officials led by the inspector Baoji took over as the lord of the castle, and Yinzi was an official, with a reward of 100 taels of silver and 50 horses of silk; commanded Zhou Dajun to transfer the official to the next level, awarded Linzhou regimental training, rewarded 100 taels of silver, and gave brocade robes; The officers and men of Dahebao were rewarded very heavily, among whom there were as many as 100 officers, and those who died in battle and were wounded in battle received a share in addition to the state's pension according to the regulations, which was given by Zhao Ta from the seizure.

The people who participated in the battle all knew that the main force of defending the city and destroying the enemy was the prince's guards, but on the other hand, their rewards were not as good as the defenders of Yamato Fort, there were only more than ten people who were officially served, and there were only five people who transferred officials, and even the archers who had always thought that the Han and Han were treated unfairly felt that they were aggrieved, but they also knew that the prince of the Dao Dao had clear rewards and punishments, and he was never partial, and he treated the Fan and Han equally, and he was his own intimate person, and the morale of the whole army was boosted, and there were many Fan households to vote, and the work of recruiting archers and volunteers was also smoother.

The anti-invasion and cultivation battle of the Xiangyi army has now also achieved results, now south of the forbidden boundary from Shenmu Fort to Yamato Fort, the Xia people dare not peep, they have avoided it, and have given up a large area of fertile land, and the four cavalry battalions have also been trained in the battle, and they even went to the front line of the Great Wall to attack the walled fort set up by the Xia State, and after several battles, they did not dare to show their heads, so they could only protect themselves, and did not dare to go out of the city to protect the cultivation.

In the face of a good situation, Zhao Ta is not optimistic, first, the Western Xia will not let themselves be like this for a long time, the loss of a large area of arable land may not be a great thing for the Great Song Dynasty, but for the Western Xia is a life-threatening matter, they will definitely gather heavy troops to recapture it; The second is that this land borders on the Western Xia, although there are many fortresses, Danshi is located in a remote area, it is not easy to transport supplies, and it is impossible to gather heavy troops, but if you occupy the dangerous places on the front line of Hengshan and defend against danger, you don't need to configure too many soldiers and horses, and you can rely on a large area of fertile land, and most of the supplies can be solved on the spot, so that you can gain a firm foothold and be invincible.

Zhao Ta's bookcase contained several newly received information, one of which showed that a large number of Xia army scouts had been found in the area of Tumaochuan, which seemed to indicate that there was an operation; Another piece of information shows that there are also changes in the left wing of the Xia army, and now all tribes are collecting grain and grass, recruiting soldiers, and refurbishing armor and weapons, all of which indicates that the Xia army is also going to take action. …,

All the intelligence shows that the Xia army will have a big operation, and it points to the Linzhou Mansion Zhixintai all the way, and the Yincheng line all the way. Zhao Ta stared at the large map of Lin, Fu and Feng on the wall for a long time, if the Xia army launched an attack from the Tumao River, it would be faced with the Fu army guarding Linzhou and the third general of Hedong, with a force of 10,000 troops, and it can be judged from the name of the Tumao River that the river valley must be narrow and not suitable for large-scale troop transfers.

"Then Tumaochuan is likely to make a feint all the way, maintain pressure on the Xintai region, and let the government army and the third general not dare to move!" Zhao Ta made a preliminary judgment.

Zhao Ta's gaze turned to another way, there are three main roads that invade the Yincheng area, namely the Xialu River, the Jialu River and the Balwei River Valley, and the gathering place of the three passages is the Yamato Fort where the Great War has just taken place, Zhao Ta used his pen to draw a circle on the Yamato Fort.

"To capture Yincheng and relieve the pressure of the Song army on the area of Hengshan Middle Road, the Xia army must occupy Yamato Fort, and then wave its troops south, sweep away Yamato Village and Shentang Village, and then go north to Yincheng." Zhao Tan's pen drew the offensive route of the Xia army in the Yincheng area, which is a triangle with Yamato Fort, Yamato Zhai and Yincheng as the apex.

"Garrison heavy troops in Yamato Fort and fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Xia army?" Zhao Ta shook his head, although he held the city, the terrain outside the Danshi River was wide, there was no danger to defend, and it was difficult to implement the siege, and the last battle was still a rout, and the last battle was an example.

"If you abandon Yamato Fort and put the enemy into the river valley, then you will defend it dangerously, and then retake Yamato Fort, then this valley will become a huge pocket!" Zhao Ta's brain was running fast, preparing for World War II Yamato Fort.
