readx; Originally, there were also farmers near Hequ Pass, as well as a small number of small merchants, whose lives were originally peaceful, but the arrival of 100,000 displaced people from Qinzhou completely messed up the fragile subsistence relationship here, and it was worth the loss. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The new displaced people have nothing, and they will not be able to be self-sufficient in a short period of time, in this case, not only will they not be able to grow more food for the border army, but will consume the food of the aborigines of the river meander, Brother Jiefu, I would like to know what those bigwigs in the DPRK and China think?

Are they here to help me on my expedition north, or are they here to hold me back? ”

The reason why Yun Zheng spoke in a weird way was because Pang Ji sent him 100,000 destitute Guanzhong refugees.

In recent years, the drought in Guanzhong has continued, coupled with heavy taxes, resulting in a large number of people in the fields in Guanzhong to flee, I heard that there are many exiled savages in the Qinling Mountains, because there is no salt, hiding in the mountains all the year round, and there are not a few people covered with white hair.

God knows how Pang Ji found these people from the deep mountains and sent them to the meander.

Wang Anshi looked up to the sky and sighed: "People said that this was all the sin I created by changing the law, so it was sent to me logically!" ”

“……”

"The war at Hequ Pass is raging, and Pang Xiang and they really made a mistake." Chen Lin's face was also pale, he saw those homeless people at noon today, the condition was so miserable that he could hardly bear to see it.

"Nowadays, the place with the most grain in the Great Song Dynasty is the ...... of the river meander, and the grain stored here is almost more than the grain stored in the two warehouses in the north and south of Tokyo combined.

Moreover, Yun Shuai is going to march north. What do you do with so much grain stored in the meander? It's better to let these homeless people eat him, this is called eating! ”

Yun Zheng tapped his knuckles on the table and said expressionlessly: "Pang Xiang, they are giving me a death order, this battle can only be won and not defeated, if you win, you can have anything, and if you fail, you will be killed." ”

"Meander?"

Yun Zheng looked back at the worried Chen Lin and said, "Hequ Pass has been shaking Hedong over the years. Although there are only 6,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, the 20,000 remnants of the army ordered by Ge Ningling want to capture it, they are still dreaming.

After Liang Ji's army arrives, it will be the time when Wei Ge Ning will annihilate the whole army, so ah, you don't have to worry about Hequ Pass, you just need to think more about how to settle these 100,000 displaced people is serious, and Pang Xiang's good chess is a good game. No matter how high and powerful we are, if we starve these 100,000 homeless people to death, we will definitely not be able to escape the word "people's thief" in the future. ”

Wang Anshi suddenly smiled and said, "Since they say that I created the sin, then I will bear it." Yun Shuai, lowly applied for Tuntian Moon River. ”

Yun Zheng said to Wang Anshi with pity: "You can't do it alone now." ”

Wang Anshi looked up to the sky and laughed: "The rotten ship still has Jin nails, although Yun Shuai is going north, Wang Anshi will stay in Moon River Tuntian, and when the big marshal returns from the victory of the Northern Expedition, Xia Guan will definitely be able to make this place into a plug in the south of the Yangtze River!" ”

Yun Zheng saw that Wang Anshi's face was very red, and knew that it was not caused by excitement, just look at his clenched fists. You know how angry this guy is at this time.

"Counting nine cold winters, those people lack food and clothing, if they stay in the field for a few more days. If you can't say it, they will all freeze to death, forget it, it's too late to build a house now, so let's first wronged these people to dig some caves and live in them first, and then vacate the barracks for them when my army is gone. The purpose of sending these people here is that I will go out to vacate the military camp as soon as possible. ”

The hearts of politicians are made of iron and stone, and Yun Zheng finally verified this. So he threw the finished piece into the brazier, and it was useless to say anything. He could even imagine that as long as his army came out of Yanmen Pass, Li Dongchu's White Horse Army would immediately block the city pass, and the Ningwu Pass guarded by Jiang Zhe and the Hequ Pass guarded by Lang Tan would also be closed at the same time.

This battle is like a pawn crossing the river, except for rushing forward, there is absolutely no room to retreat, and if you want to return to the Great Song Dynasty, unless you go back from Hebei, which is guarded by the army.

"After Liang Ji returns to the army, we will leave immediately, but the White Horse Army must be driven forward for me, and the strength under my command is still slightly weaker, once it falls into a long battle, I need to have a reserve army to replenish the troops." Yun Zheng looked at Chen Lin and said slowly.

Chen Lin found that Yun Zheng's eyes were so gloomy for the first time, and he wanted to refute it, but he swallowed the words after playing with them for a long time, he was very suspicious that if he said that Li Dongchu's White Horse Army was not allowed to leave the customs, Yun Zheng would probably turn his face in front of the court.

Wei Gening let down tears like rain, and a beast-like roar came out of his throat, and a face that was originally quite handsome was now distorted into a ball, and his hands sank into the dirt on the riverbank and were stained with blood.

The most elite warriors of the Western Xia fell on the ice with all kinds of strange postures, and the originally smooth ice surface was now thickly covered by the siege crossbow, and the blood didn't even have time to spread, it was solidified into a ball by the cold north wind, which looked particularly bright.

Zhang He's mouth trembled for a long time before he said, "Where did they get so many eight-bull crossbows?" ”

This sentence Wei Ge Ning Ling also wants to know, in the first year ago, although the existence of the eight-bull crossbow was indispensable in the Song army, but this kind of weapon that requires eight people to operate is not much in the Song army, first, the eight-ox crossbow is expensive, and secondly, this thing needs a large number of people to control, so it can only exist as a deterrent weapon in the army, and it is impossible to use it universally.

They couldn't understand how the general had improved these super weapons over the years, because with the ratchet device, a weapon that would have required eight samurai to use could now be easily used by two people.

It is also because after the Great Song Dynasty owned the grassland, the elastic material of beef tendon was easily obtained, and the wood-bonded bow arm was gradually replaced by the soft steel produced by the Eagle's Nest, so, under Yun Zheng's initiative, the Great Song Dynasty used this precious long-range weapon equipment everywhere, especially in the important pass of Hequ, which was a disaster area where the Eight Ox crossbow equipment was flooded.

Nowadays, the value of the Song army's individual equipment has risen from the Qingli period of Guan 0 4 money, to 10 to 7, these years because the Xiang army has been constantly dismantled, the number of troops has decreased by sixty percent, but the combat power has increased at least more than twice as much as before.

Especially the Jingxi Army under Yun Zheng, the luxury of equipment is even more than the Great Song Dynasty.

Tan Wei waited for a long time and did not wait for the Tangut people to attack again, seeing those Tangut people standing on the river embankment looking at the corpses on the ice, they were a little bored when they didn't leave, seeing that it was getting late, and it was really not a good thing for the army to camp outside the city, so he ordered the rear team of the army to change into the front team, and slowly retreated into Hequ City with eight oxen crossbows.

Wei Ge Ning Ling did not order the pursuit, when the scout told that the Song army had all returned to the city, he took his own soldiers onto the ice, pulled out a siege crossbow from the corpse of the soldier, and turned back to ask Zhang He: "Your uncle fought with Yun Zheng's subordinates back then, and you are the only person who can get out of the right wing of the bell mouth Chaoshun Military Division, you come to tell me, did they also equip such eight bull crossbows at that time?" ”

Zhang He said blankly: "Uncle Jia didn't mention it, but mentioned a weapon called gunpowder bullets, and said that once this weapon is used, the sound is like thunder, and the ground is like a thunderbolt, and everyone and horses are shattered." ”

Wei Ge Ning Ling laughed and said, "It seems that with our ability, it is not enough for people to use that kind of weapon!" He imprisoned us for ten years, and also disconnected us from the battlefield for ten years, and it seems that the Song State's combat methods have changed a lot in the past ten years, but we don't know anything. ”

"Dashuai, are we still attacking the city?" Zhang He was worried in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Wei Ge Ningling shook his head and said, "No need, it's better not to attack until we have figured out the true combat strength of the Song army." ”

Zhang He said gloomily: "I'm afraid staying in the barracks is also a death, after the marshal divided the body of the Song envoy, we have not retreated, and now the weather is gradually getting colder, without the Song people to attack, we will not live long in this weather." ”

Wei Ge Ning ordered his soldiers to collect all the siege crossbows scattered on the river, and his army also had eight bull crossbows, but there was a lack of siege crossbows, although the Song army killed thousands of soldiers, but also left a lot of weapons, although the price of obtaining these weapons was a bit heavy.

"We have already contacted the Song army, so we might as well contact the Khitan people again, the Song army has changed a lot over the years, but I wonder if the Khitan people have also become equally invincible?"

Watching his subordinates carry bundles of crossbow arrows into the military tent, Wei Ge Ning ordered the detective to roast the fire and said to Zhang He thoughtfully.

Zhang He didn't understand why Wei Ge Ning Ling thought like this, and asked hesitantly: "Dashuai, since we have already torn our faces with the Song army, we should form an alliance with the Khitans, why do we have to turn against the Khitans, if we do that, we will be attacked on both sides." ”

Wei Ge Ning Ling rudely interrupted Zhang He's words and said: "We are enemies ourselves, who told you that we must strike at one side and then win over one side?"

Haven't you seen it yet? Whether it is the Song people or the Liao people, we have no possibility of making peace with them, although we came out to fight for the alliance between the Great Xia and the Khitans, but, you see, do those Khitans really regard us as allies?

Zhang He, Yun Zheng is an enemy, Xiao Dahu is also an enemy, and Pang is also an enemy, it is impossible for us to have allies in this world, and dying in battle is our only end!

When I let us out of the bell, I thought we might still have a chance of life, but after today's battle, I finally understood that we had missed the world for ten years, and we knew from the day we were released that we were dead. ”

Zhang He was frightened by Brother Ningling's words, and said, "Where should we go?" (To be continued)
