Chapter 289: Arrogance and Madness
On the Song-Xia border, because the Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia imprisoned Xia Huizong and often led to domestic political turmoil, Song Shenzong thought that the opportunity to capture the Western Xia had come, and took advantage of this to launch the Five-Way Expedition to Xia. Song Shenzong deployed Li Xian's troops out of Xihe Road, Chong's department out of Yanyan Road, Gao Zunyu's department out of Huanqing Road, Liu Changzuo's department out of Jingyuan Road (Liu Changzuo was controlled by Gao Zunyu), and Wang Zhongzheng's department out of Hedong Road, hoping to conquer Western Xiaxing and Ling'er Prefecture in one fell swoop. According to the battle plan, Jingyuan and Huanqing combined to capture Lingzhou, Hedong and Yanyan first met Xiazhou, then attacked Huaizhou, and finally attacked Xingzhou by four routes. The Song court also asked Tubo to send troops to cross the Yellow River to capture Liangzhou in order to contain the forces of the right wing of Western Xia.
In the Five-Way Army, Li Xian took the general Li Hao as the vanguard, starting from Lintao today, crossing the Mabitshan Mountain, to the ancient city of Kang (now Yuzhong), and then taking the new city of Xishi (now the triangle city of Yuzhong), on September 2, conquered Lanzhou. Li Xian set up the marshal's mansion in the city, and built Lanzhou, and Li Hao was the governor. In the first month of the following year, the Song Dynasty changed Xihe Road to Xihe Lanhui Road. Lanzhou was included in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Through the use of a series of indirect siege strategies, he successively captured Mizhizhai, Shizhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places in Western Xia. Soon, however, due to the lack of supply of military rations and heavy snowfall, more than two-thirds of the troops were reduced to non-combat personnel. Liu Changzuo's troops on Jingyuan Road fought bravely and reached Lingzhou City by victory, but Gao Zunyu lacked an overall grasp of the battle situation, and blindly ordered Liu Changzuo to directly attack the city and the Song army to fortify the city under the siege of the city for 18 days without defeat. The Western Xia army flooded the camp of the Song army by releasing water from the Yellow River canal, and cut off its way of food and salary, and many Song soldiers died of freezing and starvation. Therefore, the Song court ordered the class teacher.
In this battle, the Song army only occupied some military points on the north side of Yin, Shi, Xia, Youzhuzhou and Hengshan, so that the Western Xia did not dare to cultivate more than 200 miles along the border of Hengshan, but compared with the original intention of eliminating the Western Xia, the results were indeed average.
When Yang Jiao arrived at the Third Beef Soup Pavilion, the Great Song Dynasty was attacking the Western Xia and had no power to fight back, and the Song Shenzong was even more firm in his belief in completely destroying the Western Xia, and at the same time hoped that Yang Jiao, who had created the offensive conditions for the Great Song Dynasty, could appear as soon as possible to agree on the next step of the continued operation.
But Yang Jiao and Zhuge Wufu never showed up, but Yang Hu came to the palace once and told Song Shenzong that everything was according to the original plan. And Yang Jiao and Zhuge Wufu went all out to practice the skill of listening to voices and distinguishing grass, because the two found that the sea was calm, while Wolf State and Tokyo were noisy, and the ability to discern a hundred miles on Sanssouci Island was only thirty miles, but it was useless to be sad, and they could only slowly improve by hard work, so in addition to cooking, eating, and sleeping, the two of them were practicing this magic skill even in their dreams.
Tokyo's Sanshi beef soup stall is located in the big market at the entrance of the imperial palace, and is located at the entrance of the big market, Yang Hu is how much money he spent, and did not use the royal power, Yang Jiao did not ask, he only needs the stall is built and decorated according to her requirements, in addition, Tokyo is not Qingyuan Temple, people for the stall outside the dining conditions are much higher, so, she redesigned the basket with bowls once before putting it into use. And because his height is higher than last year, he raised three tables and three chairs by two inches and redid it, and also with a monthly salary of ten taels, he invited Qin Yifei, the head of the market, to be busy with the rice order, and the ice kiln in the backyard was full of qualified beef, which was appropriate, but this time there were two sellers of staple food adjacent to her, one was fire, and the other was Henan's unique bar bun.
Since Tokyo is arrogant, that is a habit that has been passed down and cultivated for many generations, since Pangu opened the land, that one of the subjects living at the feet of the son is not the same? Not to mention that Tokyo is still the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties? Good things that others can't eat, they have taken their belts and brought the whole family to eat, whether they can afford to buy them or not, they have seen the best things, so there are few things that can impress the natural arrogance of the people of Tokyo, like the boom caused by the period of Yang Jiulang Renzong, which has become a thing of the past with the loss of time, but in the early morning of October 22, with the arrival of the first snowflake, on the one-and-a-half-meter-high stall of the third beef soup, a rural girl who is serious about making needle money appeared, accompanied by the middle-aged scholar on the table, while eating ripe peanuts, with a pampering gaze, smiling at the peasant girl next to her, This father's picture of the son and the virtuous instantly touched the arrogant heart of the Tokyo people who passed through the cluster, and the intersection was blocked tightly for a while, and the big supervisor who came to only hold the market order wore out his mouth and did not persuade a person to leave, and reluctantly walked on the wooden platform of the stall, so as not to be more squeezed in when the meeting was opened, and at this time Yang Jiao also happened to open the lid of the crockpot and stirred a few times, and the whole Tokyo city smelled the strong aroma of beef soup, and regardless of whether he brought money or not, he rushed over, and the tragic discovery was that people had blocked the door of their own homes, and the civil and military officials who happened to go down to the court all stopped and swarmed to the place where the fragrance of beef soup emanated, and the result was even worse, They found that the gates of the palace were all blocked, and it was impossible to even go home, with Yang Jiao's second agitation, six or seven ministers with high martial arts cultivation flew directly to the stall, and forced themselves to stuff themselves in the front row, and the father and daughter on the stage continued their respective work as if they didn't see it, and the marketing supervisor Qin Yifei was motionless because he was dumbfounded, and after stirring three more times, just at noon, Yang Jiao waited for Zhuge to collect the money for every bowl, and the beef soup was filled with it. After handing over the basket of chopsticks and a big soup spoon to the guests, how can I eat three of them? I replaced the basket with a free insulated lunch box on the table, and bought a fire and a bun that the whole family could eat, and went home to share it, and finally, there were only five tables left in the dining area on the first floor.
On the platform outside, Yang Jiao, Zhuge Wufu and the market supervisor Qin Yifei took the fire or bar bun sent by the other two stall owners in front of them, and ate while drinking the wine in the wine gourd, and the market supervisor Qin Yifei ate a large bowl of beef soup for three people, and finally rested on the wooden platform for two hours, hired a sedan chair after everyone dispersed, and carried himself home.
Because forty-five copies were brought home, the name of the third and a half broth spread faster than the Western Xia, and the streets were blocked all over, and many ministers were blocked so that they could not enter the palace, and they could not go to the court, so that Song Shenzong Zhao Ji, Yang Hu and Wang Anshi, who were hiding in the peek, couldn't cry and laugh, and in desperation, they could only advance the plan, and on the twelfth day of the opening of the third beef soup, Song Shenzong issued an order to let Yang Jiao and Zhuge useless father and daughter enter the palace the second morning, and provide the third beef soup for the important ministers, the time was eight, and four hundred ministers were entertained.
