Chapter 53 Internal and External Troubles
Mainly aimed at the ancient methods of the besieging side.
Like Bianliang City, an impregnable city, even if the Jin people can break through the first line of defense of the city wall.
Do you think this can break into Bianliang City?
No, because there is still a middle city in Bianliang City, that is, Wengcheng.
In other words, after conquering the gates, you will enter an urn city.
Surrounded by tall walls, surrounded by a dense array of crossbow arrows from the defenders.
Here is like a turtle in an urn, and most of the endings are pierced by random arrows.
Therefore, the siege of the Jin people before was completely skin ringworm for Zhao Shuo.
However, grain and grass are the key strategic materials.
Because of the abundance of food and grass, Zhao Shuo could theoretically inspire the army and the people to rise up to defend the city.
Once the food and grass are consumed, everyone will have to face the threat of starvation.
At this time, people's emotions can easily get out of control.
If it collapses, it will be unprecedented chaos.
At that time, how could you talk about defending the city?
Therefore, the grain and grass can only last for a month, which is definitely not good news.
Especially now that it is the cold winter wax moon, the New Year is about to be celebrated in one month.
Most of the food in the people's homes was originally stored for the winter.
If it is consumed in advance, the year will not pass?
What should I do at the beginning of the next year?
When the time comes, it will inevitably lead to a crisis for the victims.
However, things are thought of in two ways.
Zhao Shuo also took into account the situation of the Jin people.
Nowadays, the climate in the Central Plains is declining.
Thousands of miles of fertile soil are covered in silver.
Snow is coming, and there are barren areas everywhere.
It became impossible for the Jin people to loot grain.
Their food and grass are also categorically unsustainable.
On the contrary, it gave the Qinwang army from all over the country who are currently struggling to attack on the line of fire in Tongguan a golden opportunity.
Therefore, Zhao Shuo also took a stroll and put on a posture of breaking the net.
Isn't the jackal-like sticky Han of his Jin Kingdom very fierce?
Then Lao Tzu went down with him.
Let's see who coaxes first.
Of course, this will undoubtedly increase their consumption for the people of Bianliang City.
But the gold people also need to be consumed.
At this stage of the war, in fact, the last thing the two sides are fighting for is resources and heritage.
Zhao Shuo was sure that the Jin Kingdom would not fall into a protracted war in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.
Because their comprehensive national strength, military salaries, and grain and grass reserves are far inferior to those of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that they only saw the weakness of the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, so they ignored the post-disaster recovery ability of the Great Song Dynasty.
In addition, one of the decisive factors in the war is the psychological contest between the commanders of the two sides.
This is also what Zhao Shuo has an advantage for.
Because Zhao Shuo understands Sticky Han, a stubborn guy.
The ability is still there, and the strength should not be underestimated.
But his self-serving, no-nonsense, vanity-loving personality is a shortcoming.
Zhao Shuo concluded that the Jin people pretended to negotiate.
Preparations for a larger offensive may be in full swing right now.
Considering the 150,000 army of the Jin people, it was not affected.
Therefore, if Zhao Shuo is the commander of the Jin people, if Zhao Shuo is sticky.
He will also take advantage of the time to build more siege equipment.
Because their previous attack was only a part of the four portals of Bianliang.
After three hours of fierce fighting, I almost saw the dawn of breaking the city.
If the 40,000 or 50,000 troops are all pressed and spread out in all directions of Bianliang City to attack in an all-out way.
As the defender of the city, Zhao Shuo thought about it for a while, and knew the pressure that the Song army would be under.
That's both physical and psychological!
It is the best judgment of whether a person really sees death as home.
If it is really time to die, who can face it calmly?
Zhao Shuo can't be!
He was just worried that he was cold, and he was even more worried that he would be captured by the Jin people to the northeast and hurt his dignity.
That's why they fight against gold at all costs.
The same goes for everyone else!
The so-called seeing death as if it were home is based on the premise that everyone feels hopeful.
Everyone sees the light and will have the courage to sacrifice for their homeland.
If everyone thinks that Lang Arm is blocking the car, it can't change the situation.
Then the morale of the army will be shaken.
Therefore, no matter what, it is necessary to block the next more brutal offensive of the Jin people.
Sticky Han has to prepare more equipment.
Zhao Shuo can't be idle, and must make reciprocal resource allocation.
For two days, both sides were working on their own arrangements.
In the past two days, Song Jun ignored Jin Ren's request at all.
The grumpy sticky Han became more and more annoyed and angry.
That is, tonight!
Tang Xu, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, met Kong Zhongmou in his prime minister's mansion.
Kong Zhongmou was the third-in-command of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty.
The official position is from the third rank.
In addition, he has a more important identity.
That is the crown prince Shaobao during the Song Huizong period.
At the beginning, he was specially assisted by the crown prince Zhao Huan.
But now, Song Qinzong has succeeded to the throne.
Therefore, his identity has also been taken to a higher level.
became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!
That is, Zhao Shuo's teacher!
Zhao Shuo's attitude towards this teacher is to despise and despise as much as he wants.
Because this old guy is a proper shameless scum.
Other traitors and cartilage boys will struggle before surrendering.
This guy didn't do that at all, but was afraid of the Jin man's revenge, and without waiting for the Jin man to speak, he gave all his belongings like a few family treasures.
I just hope that the golden people can leave a way to live.
Such a person is also worthy of being called an emperor?
It's simply a shame for the Great Song!
Now this Kong Zhongmou visited Tang Xuan late at night.
After entering the door, he didn't say a word about the things in his heart.
Instead, he asked for warmth and asked about Tang Xu's physical condition.
How could Tang Xuan be so leisurely and elegant to greet him.
He asked directly: "Elder Kong Ge, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, Bianliang City has undergone earth-shaking changes, you know?" ”
"Well, of course I do."
"And what do you think about this?"
Kong Zhongmou rubbed his beard and bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty is in charge of Qiankun, it must be a strategic strategy, as the emperor, the old man also feels gratified." ”
Kong Zhongmou said that he was pleased, but there was not the slightest look of relief on his face.
Of course, if the emperor said that he wanted to negotiate peace now, he would be really excited!
"We repelled a siege that the Jin people were bound to win, and now the Jin people's attitude towards peace is absolutely sincere, because they are obviously beginning to be afraid of the military might of our Great Song Dynasty."
"But Your Majesty's attitude is ambiguous, and it has been two days since I gave an answer to the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin."
"In addition, he also built a monument to heroes on a large scale on Bianliang East Mountain to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed, which ......"
"Is this the work of an emperor?"
Tang Xuan didn't hide it, and directly expressed his attitude.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with the current emperor both inside and outside of his words.
As soon as he heard about the Heroes Monument, Kong Zhongmou, who had always been moody, also showed irritability.
He didn't know that the emperor's actions had already made it clear that he was fighting with the elite group.
On the "Anti-Jin Policy Theory", a monument was erected and written for those who died.
