All in all, in view of Zhang Jun's miraculous operation, Han Shizhong's army was forced to stop for a while, but that was only for the main battle zone. In the coastal areas, Li Bao's attacks never stopped.

This Jiaozhi is not the Jin country back then, it doesn't have such a large land and manpower, Han Shizhong has to worry about the problem of soldiers and grain and grass, but aren't they worried?

You must know that at this time, Cochin was not the entire territory of Vietnam in later generations, and there were also the Champa Kingdom in the south and the Dali Kingdom in the northwest eyeing him. The geography of Cochin is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and there are six or seven mountains and plateaus in the territory. If the Song army marched from Quang Nam, it would indeed be troubled by miasma, high mountains and dense forests, etc., but if it marched from the sea. The dense rivers and plains of the south would be a great advantage for them.

Anyway, Han Shizhong and Li Bao both regretted it, they knew that the river network was so dense, they should have borrowed more people and small boats from Zhang Rong.

It seems that it is still a long time ago, those maps are old, and the books that have been gnawed for so long are better than actually fighting.

But what is already very fatal for Jiaozhi is that the attack site chosen by Li Bao is also very close to Jiaozhou, once the Song army completely breaks through the Red River and attacks on both sides, there is only one result waiting for the Li clan in Jiaozhi: destruction.

At this time, the king of Jiaozhi, who called himself the king of Dayue, Li Tianzuo, was just a six-year-old child, although he was held by his mother and sat in the court, but he didn't understand why the courtiers below had a kind of sadness and chaotic quarrels like mourning.

In the ninth year of Jianyan, when the Zhao Guanjia sang the Northern Expedition, their Shenzong Li Yanghuan died because of his long-term addiction to wine, and the three-year-old Li Tianzuo succeeded to the throne and was the sixth monarch of Dayue. In the eyes of the Song Dynasty, the monarchs of Dayue were still the kings of Jiaozhi County, and in the face of the Song Dynasty, which had unprecedented national strength after the victory of the Northern Expedition. Da Yue had no choice but to call himself the king of Jiaozhi to the outside world, and he didn't dare to do anything more.

But this orphan and widow will have rebellious ministers and thieves in the court, and I am afraid it is also an old tradition in East Asia.

However, the situation of Jiaozhi is a little special, and it has a lot to do with the lifestyle of the Empress Dowager Li.

The young master is in the court, and the mother is strong and the son is young. The Empress Dowager Li Shi, who listened to the government, whether it was out of personal feelings or to maintain her own status, actually had an affair with the powerful minister Du Yingwu. At that time, Du Yingwu, who served as a lieutenant, held the military and political power of the Li Dynasty, and the South Vietnamese region was deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and they were so unscrupulous that they naturally attracted the dissatisfaction of many people.

As a result, a soothsayer Weng Shenli, who claimed to be the son of Li Gande of Renzong, with the help of Dali's army, once occupied the northern part of Jiaozhi, but Du Yingwu commanded it properly and repelled the rebels last year, and if it weren't for the strong dispatch of troops by the Great Song Dynasty, they would have celebrated their victory by now.

Where is it like now, Taiwei Du Yingwu relied on Zhang Jun's blind command to escape a way out, and the losses of the army were countless.

Empress Dowager Li saw that the pessimism and even capitulationism of the Manchu Dynasty came out, and slapped the table and said angrily: "Back then, the Song Dynasty's expedition was defeated under our miasma and mountains, are they not afraid now?" Even if you don't want to think about our Li Chaoguozuo, are you willing to join the Song Kingdom as a slave? ”

I have to say that she is still a bit political.

But it's just a little bit, and Minister Su Xiancheng didn't get used to her, and said bluntly: "Queen Mother, in this field now, no one has to deceive themselves anymore." Although the Song Dynasty stopped at the Red River, it also accumulated countless experience for future generations, and today's Song Dynasty Emperor can personally conquer and destroy Jin, not the Song Shenzong, naturally will not put our geographical obstacles in the eyes, not to mention that there are already countermeasures, not to mention that the two roads go hand in hand, even if we can stop the army for a while, can we stop the navy? At that time, the Li family's temple was not guaranteed, and the minister died to thank the king. The Queen Mother doesn't have to say such things. ”

Su Xiancheng was a minister with both civil and military skills, and he made great contributions in the early process of quelling the Weng Shenli rebellion. He is very young and advocates Confucianism, and is very respected in the hearts of his courtiers. As soon as he said this, some young generals naturally complained. Although he didn't dare to blame the Queen Mother in his words, the meaning was already very obvious.

Du Yingwu originally wanted to rely on his identity. Drink them back, but you, as a great general, were almost captured, and the whole army was annihilated, and your prestige within the army has been greatly reduced, how can you suppress the court?

Or a senior elder of the Li family came out to make peace, "Su Guoxiang, Du Taiwei, let's put out the fire first, no matter how difficult it is for us at this time, is it more difficult than the Zhao Guan's family on the opposite side to flee to the Huai River to help Gu?" At this moment, it should be the time for sincere cooperation, and you can't have your own people infighting first! Otherwise, even if you go to see the previous kings, you don't dare to say that you have a clear conscience, not to mention why don't you survive when it's time to die? ”

This man is over eighty years old. It has always been his children and grandchildren who have always been angry in the Great Song Dynasty, so they are very popular. The ministers gave face and no longer quarreled. Although Empress Dowager Li is the lord and a junior, she will not give him face.

After all, Du Yingwu is a general in a hundred battles, and analyzed the situation, "Li Bao on the navy side is not a fool, we wanted to use the method of the year to lure him into defeat, but we didn't expect him to judge the tide in advance and take our army." The loss of property on the side of the navy army is also extremely heavy. It's just that for some reason, the army stopped attacking. It is said that they were able to reach the edge of the Red River and lose less than 10%, so they were not afraid of miasma? ”

The method he said about that year refers to the battle of the Baiteng River launched by the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the Southern Han Emperor Liu Yan, regardless of the time, ordered his son Liu Hongcao to lead the naval army into the Baiteng River from Haikou (Ha Long Bay).

The ruler of South Vietnam at the time, Wu Quan, after learning that the Southern Han army had reached the Bai Teng River, ordered his soldiers to cut down trees, make wooden stakes, and wrap sharp iron sheets around the top of the stakes. Wu Quan planted these wooden stakes in the heart of the dangerous river at the mouth of the Baiteng River, and at the same time set up ambushes along the riverbank.

In the war, Wu Quan pretended to be defeated and retreated, and the Southern Han army planned to go deep into the Baiteng River, but the tide receded, the big boat was broken, and the ambush soldiers were hit.

After Wu Quan defeated the Southern Han army, he became king and established the Wu Dynasty, and this homeland of the Tang Dynasty slowly moved towards independence.

Coincidentally, when he found out that Li Bao also wanted to march through Ha Long Bay. Jiaozhi coincidentally wanted to use the methods of the year to pit the Song army at the same time, but the problem was that although Li Bao was not highly educated, he had been preparing for this war for many years, how could he not know this allusion? Even if you don't know, the navy has been working for more than ten years, how to guard against the ebb and flow of the tide, can you still not know?

So the result was that Li Bao didn't need a big boat to go deep into the Baiteng River at all, but used a small iron boat to row it. The soldiers who are proficient in water use Menghuo oil to attack, the north wind is fierce in winter, and it is a fire on the river. The ambush soldiers were so frightened that they ran away.

In this regard, Li Bao said that if Zhang Shuxiang hadn't exhausted the other part of the Menghuo oil, Lao Tzu would have been able to go deeper.

Minister Su Xiancheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Song Dynasty is indeed not as good as it used to be. But what the clan elder said was right, Xiancheng was too intense. For now, we should still find a way to survive in death. ”

I don't know what Bodhisattva in the sky, the Buddha blesses, after he finished saying this, suddenly someone said: "Queen Mother, Taiwei, Minister of State." A small group of Song troops came to surrender on their own. ”

The needle drop in the hall can be heard, it's all in this situation, and Song Jun is willing to surrender, I heard it right, right?

Or Su Xiancheng has a city government, "The situation of the Song army is very good, why did they surrender?" Do you think that all the people in my court and China are fools who want to carry out espionage schemes? ”

"Returning to the country. According to the man's self-proclaimed name is Shao Long, he was a former general of the Song Kingdom, but he was involved in the Lishan Rebellion and was reduced to hard labor, this time Zhang Jun, the prime minister of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, regarded him as a rebel and wanted to kill him on the battlefield. The messenger dutifully spoke.

After all, Jiaozhi has been subordinate to the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and there are more than one or two Han cultures in China. And in the past two years, I have been scared, and on the one hand, I am playing with Dali, and on the other hand, I am also extremely concerned about the movements of the Great Song Dynasty. Naturally, I knew about the rebellion, and called a special messenger to check the information, eh, it was really right.

Then in order to win, I have to meet this Shao Long.

Of course, caution. The lord of the country was hugged down, leaving only the queen mother, and some other inconsequential courtiers also automatically retreated. Shao Long tied himself shirtless, with a young man by his side, and cried as soon as he met: "The minister is a sinner, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty treats me well, but for the sake of his son's life, I have to be sorry for the official family." Officials, the ministers must plead guilty to you underground. ”

Without his superb "son" Ma Yu, who did not have acting skills, had to bury his head in the dead.

It's all for the great cause, for the Great Song Dynasty.

But King Qin, you are a bully, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young general, and I am not the only one with good martial arts, why should I cooperate as his son? Don't pass this on back, otherwise the old man won't break his leg, so it's better to go to Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate.

That's it, Deputy Wang said that as long as this one thing is done, he will be brought back to the front army.
