Chapter 16 Honest Di Qing
A leather cord wrapped in brocade on the outside was put on Yun Zheng's neck, indicating that Yun Zheng had been tied, a golden gourd warrior stood beside him respectfully with Yun Zheng's ivory in both hands, and the other warrior whispered something to Yun Zheng, in the Great Song Dynasty, all soldiers were respectful to Di Qing and Yun Zheng.
"Only knocked out six teeth, really, Lao Tzu's thickening is considered to be done in vain......" Yun Zheng walked around outside the vertical arch hall with his hands behind his back, he didn't plan to hit anyone today, but the words he said just now made him angry, so he made a move.
Han Qi walked out of the hall angrily and yelled: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, the court itself is a place for people to talk, you smash people's mouths to make people talk, come on, Yun Zheng, you just beat the old man's mouth together!" β
After Yun Zheng let the two golden gourd warriors go away, he whispered to the angry Han Qi: "Where did you get so angry, Li Chang's family is the one who runs a printing workshop, so he dares to risk Bi Sheng to kill him, what does it have to do with you?" β
Han Qi gritted his teeth and creaked, and it took a long time to straighten out his breathing and say: "What kind of place is the court, even if you have a grudge against Li Chang for killing your father, you can't do it anywhere, and it depends on how you end it!" β
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "He also deserves to have those hatreds with me?" If there is, there is not a single hair left in his nine clans that have long since died, Lao Han, we might as well make a bet, if I lose, from now on if you let me fight the dog, I will definitely not go to the chicken, if I win. How about you just listen to me once? β
Han Qi swallowed and spitted out, "Let's talk about it!" β
Yun Zheng sat on the steps of the vertical arch hall, asked the warrior to bring him a piece of charcoal, grinded it on the ground a little, and drew a simple map in three or two, when Yun Zheng marked the Yellow River and Huangshui on the map, Han Qi sat next to Yun Zheng without thinking about it, and looked at this map carefully.
Two arrows of different shapes appeared on the map - "The thickest one is Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, the Xishou Baotai Military Division, and part of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, plus a part of the Capture Army." The total number of troops is more than 140,000! Now it is crossing the Yellow River and heading towards Miaochuan City. Dong Yu's army did not rely on the Yellow River to snipe, but retreated on a large scale, and along the way also fortified the Qingye in order to lengthen the logistics supply of the Tanguts, which was the right way to deal with it. The Tangut people suffered a disaster this year. Lack of food was his weakness. Therefore, Dong Yu can be regarded as a wise commander. β
Han Qi knocked on Miao Chuancheng and said, "How can you be sure that the commander is Dong Yu, not Ali Gu?" β
Yun Zheng raised his head and looked at Han Qi and said, "Believe me, the bones of Ali Gu have probably turned into drumsticks now." β
Han Qi was silent for a moment, pointing to the thinner arrow and said, "This is Fubi's security army?" β
Yun Zheng sighed and nodded, "Security Army." In addition, the Chenghua army that Fu Bi brought from Fengxiang Mansion, and the number of the Western army he borrowed from Chong Yu is only in the early 30,000s, let's not talk about this army, it is our own people, can you tell me where the main force of Dong Yu is? β
Han Qi pointed at Miaochuan City with his knuckles and said: "The 140,000 troops of Western Xia are pressing the border, and he can't afford to arrange an empty city plan in Miaochuan City, Miaochuan City is the former capital of Qingtang, and he won't give it up lightly." β
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "That's right, this is the bet I want to make with you, you bet that Dong Yu's main force is waiting to fight with the Xixia people in Miaochuan City, and I bet that Dong Yu's main force is somewhere between Lingu City and Qinzhou, if I have to choose, killing the tiger's mouth is a very good place to ambush......"
"In this way, Michuan City ......"
"Pull it down, the Yellow River Fortress is a better place to hold than Miaochuan City, there is at least the Yellow River natural danger, the last time Jiaoluo and Wuzang Pang clashed at the Kaluo River on the bank of the Yellow River, I witnessed the battle, although the logistics supply in Xixia was simple there, but Miaochuan City is only two hundred and seventy miles away from the Yellow River Fortress, which is not enough to open the logistics line that dragged out the Yellow River Fortress."
Han Qi's always calm hand began to tremble, and he still said in a calm voice: "Miaochuan City is a strategic place, and the people of Qingtang will not give up, absolutely not." β
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Dong Yu I know is not a guy who sticks to his ancestral land, there is a saying in the army called saving people and losing land, saving people and land, saving land and losing people, people and land, what do Qingtang people have? Aren't they just cattle and sheep? When I used oil cakes to deceive the war horses of the Qingtang people in Qingtang, I knew very well that as long as the Qingtang people put their belongings on the cattle and horses, they would be home wherever they drove the sheep.
In this case, you come to sue me, why did Dong Yu give up the Yellow River natural insurance? Don't mention Ali Gu to me again, that man is already a dead man! β
Han Qi involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Is it because of Fubi?" β
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Of course, it is for Fubi, all the people and horses in Qingtang add up to about 150,000, if he fights to the death with Wuzang Pang, how many people will he have left?" So he won't fight to the death with the Wuzang Pang at all, this time the Xixia people's intention is different from the last time, the last time he didn't hide the Pang was forced by Li Yuanhao to come over and lose his strength, as long as he hurt the Tangut people, he will leave, but this time it is to rob the cattle and sheep, he will not stop if he doesn't achieve his goal, even if he defeats the Tangut people after the fight, what will our Great Song Dynasty do? Will Dong Yu be commended? Or will you thank Dong Yu? It's not going to happen, is it? Dong Yu is a fool?
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, Dong Yu has not much choice, he can only tear away the contact with the Tangut people on the one hand, and prepare soldiers and horses to completely defeat the relatively weak Song army, and put an end to the threat of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, this is my idea, and if I were Dong Yu, I would definitely do it. β
Yun Zheng took out a handkerchief and handed it to Han Qi, who was sweating profusely, and then rested his head on his knees and looked at the acacia tree in front of the vertical arch hall in a daze.
"The people you really wanted to whip just now were me and Pang Xiang?"
"Yes, I really want to smoke, but I don't dare, so I have to find a soft persimmon to pinch ......"
"If you go to Qinzhou now, can you still turn the tide of the war?"
"It's late, the army that didn't hide Pang has crossed the Yellow River and is heading towards Michuan City, which shows that Dong Yu's plan has begun to be implemented, and once a careful plan starts, there is no reason to stop."
"What would you do if you were Fubi?" Zhao Zhen's voice came from above Yun Zheng's head.
Yun Zheng and Han Qi immediately stood up, only to find that the emperor and important ministers had already left the main hall, Pang Ji, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo had a look of defeat on their faces, and Ouyang Xiu and the others also lost the anger they had just now.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen couldn't suppress his anger just now......"
"Sue sΓΉ, if you are Fubi, how do you deal with it?" Zhao Zhen's business is already a little angry.
Yun Zheng squatted down again, drew a line between Qinzhou and Qingtang and said in a low voice: "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, wait for the opportunity, hit with one blow, Qingtang will hit Qingtang if it is weak, and Xixia will hit Xixia if it is weak, make friends with the strong, and kill the weak!"
Qingtang won, then the Great Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation to seize Lanzhou and Karachuan, threatened the Western Xia Jingsai Military Division to the east, built fortresses in Huizhou Rouwolf Mountain and Lingbo Mountain, cut off the connection between Xingqing Mansion and the Hexi Corridor, and sat back and watched the battle between the Western Xia and the Hui people.
If the Western Xia wins, our country and the Western Xia have an alliance, at this time we must do our best to strangle Dong Yu, and send a large number of troops to take the opportunity to occupy the hometown of Qingtang, once the dust of the war settles, the exhausted and lack of food and clothing with the Qingtang people is not able to hold on to the Qingtang land they have seized before the arrival of the heavy snow, at this time, His Majesty only needs to send a messenger to go to the Western Xia, tell the Xixia people, we are willing to exchange grain for those land, Wuzang will definitely agree, Because he did not hide the false Pang, this battle was to collect grain and straw and solve the food shortage in Western Xia. As long as the goal is achieved, there is no reason why the Tanguts should not agree. β
Zhao Zhen looked at Di Qing as if he was asking for help, and said in a trembling voice: "Di Qing, will the security army be ambushed?" Is there a solution? β
Di Qing arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty should be frightened, the old minister's opinion is more optimistic, what Yun Zheng said is just the worst situation, in that case, the Great Song Dynasty will not only lose Huizhou, Zuli River, I am afraid that Qinzhou will also be affected, but in the opinion of the old minister, this worst situation will not appear."
Fu Bi is old and serious, not comparable to ordinary civil ministers, he has not lost an inch of land in Fengxiang Mansion to resist Western Xia for six years, which shows that Fu Bi can take on a big responsibility.
The 30,000 army is moving forward, and the sentinel in front will release at least eighty miles, Your Majesty does not know, the army's action is not a hurry, along the way, the sentinel will continue to inform the commander of the news from the front, all the places that can let the enemy hide will be searched one by one, and the fork-shaped march will roll forward, which can not only ensure that the left and right flanks of the army are not invaded by the enemy to the greatest extent, but also maintain the combat strength of the forward battalion, only in this way is a standard marching normal.
Although the Qingtang people are fierce, riding on horses and sweeping like flying, shouting from east to west, and the sudden north and south make people unguardable, His Majesty has forgotten it, Fu Bi still has a large number of earth-shattering thunder in his hands, the security army has always been elite, plus Fu Bi's own elite subordinates brought from Fengxiang Mansion, the combat power is not low, and the Western Army has long been familiar with the use of gunpowder.
Once the Qingtang people can't succeed in one blow, Fu Bi is likely to use the Heaven-Shaking Thunder as a means of attack, although it is impossible to defeat the Qingtang people, with the help of this sharp weapon, it is not a problem for the whole division to retreat.
Qinzhou's strength is actually just talking about how much profit it makes, and attacking now is just the worst choice. β
Yun Zheng looked at Di Qing, who was gushing sadly, and roared frantically in his heart: "Do you need to be so honest? Scare them and they won't die! (To be continued......)
