(When I checked the information before, I looked at the serial, Gao Yongneng and Gao Yongheng were on the side of the Song army, and Liang Yongneng was the commander of Western Xia, which had been corrected earlier.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)

When the news of Chongge's victory reached Bianjing, Emperor Shenzong was greatly excited, and hurriedly sent people to reward and allow Chongge to no longer be subject to Wang Zhongzheng's control, and he could decide for himself how to use his troops. After receiving the news, Chong Ge was in a very comfortable mood, he didn't take Wang Zhongzheng in his eyes, but now he doesn't even have the restraints on the surface, he can finally show his strength without scruples. After a short rest, he continued to lead his troops and attacked Yinzhou City, the ruling center of Western Xia.

But this time, Mao Zheng did not go with Chong Ge, but stayed in Mizhi City and cooperated with Shen Kuo to take care of military affairs in the rear.

When Mao Zheng came to the northwest this time, he was determined to lay the foundation for his future by virtue of his military exploits. In the battle of Wudinghe, Mao Zheng also tried his best to set a combat strategy for Chong Ge. Defeating a strong enemy is naturally a great merit of his. But Mao Zheng saw the tragedy of the war for the first time, tens of thousands of people died in the uncertain river, the river was stained with blood, and the scene of corpses piling up and drifting down made him sleep for several days, and even if he slept, he was often awakened by nightmares.

Although this was not the first time Mao Zheng had experienced a battle formation, he had not participated in the previous battle, and most of the Western Xia soldiers had surrendered after the defeat. Besides, the difference between killing one person and watching thousands of people die tragically is still very big, especially for a young man like Mao Zheng who is still kind in his heart.

"Those who die are the enemy, and only by defeating them can we recover my homeland in China. I chose to come to the battlefield this time, and I should have expected all this. There's nothing to regret, there's nothing to be afraid of, just keep going. Mao Zheng often admonished himself in his heart.

But Chong Ge still noticed that Mao Zheng was abnormal, and out of love, he let Mao Zheng stay in the rear to help Shen Kuo take care of logistics.

It's been a few days since that big battle, and Mao Zheng came here before the Wuding River. The battlefield has long been cleaned, and the river has returned to its usual clarity, but Mao Zheng understands that there is always something left in his heart permanently.

"Now that I think about it, my life in Jinling was the best before. On weekdays, I just read and write, and when I have time, I can visit Wang Xianggong, the old Zen master and several Taoist masters of the Maoshan School. At that time, there was no worry, just a vision of the future. Mao Zheng looked at the leisurely river, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Although Mao Zheng's talent is very high, his heart is still only the heart of a fifteen-year-old boy after all. His superb talent can make him stand out among many mediocre people, but his still soft heart makes him suffer pain that he shouldn't have at his age.

"There is no turning back when I open the bow, if I don't make a name for myself. How can I have the face to go back to Jinling? I came out of Jinling with great pride, and then walked back in a gloomy way, if other people asked me, what should I say?"

"You can't stay idle any longer, you have to go to war. As long as you can return to your hometown, everything is worth it today. Mao Zheng picked up a stone and threw it heavily into the Wuding River. Hearing the sound of "plopping" and seeing a little splash that was stirred up, Mao Zheng turned his head away and no longer glanced at the Wuding River.

After returning to Mizhi City, Mao Zheng was told that Shen Kuo wanted to discuss important matters with him. Mao Zheng didn't stay, and after taking care of Rong Yi a little, he hurriedly went to Shen Kuo's office.

After Mao Zheng entered the door, he saw that Shen Kuo's face was a little solemn, and the faces of several civil officials were very ugly, and there was panic in their words.

When Shen Kuo saw Mao Zheng coming, he opened his mouth and said: "You came just in time, there was news from Tanma that the enemy general Liang Yongneng had killed his troops again. We are now empty of troops, and there are only more than 3,000 defenders in Mizhi City, and I am afraid we will not be able to cope with it. ”

"Liang Yongneng actually killed back?" Mao Zheng was also shocked when he heard the news, but after thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind and said: "Actually, this is also expected, the general is fighting on the front line, and the enemy can't stop it, so he can only retreat one after another." But after all, the enemy has a large number of cavalry troops, and the speed of the march is far above our army. Taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of our army, he came to attack, and it seems that Liang Yongneng does have some insight. If other people experienced the defeat a few days ago, they would definitely not dare to come again, it seems that Liang Yongneng is still a brave person. ”

"Liang Yongneng is indeed not simple. That's why I'm worried about the battle that is coming. We are short of troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with Liang Yongneng with ordinary stratagems. I don't know if you have any good ideas?" asked Shen Kuo.

"If you want to say a perfect solution, I really don't have it. I just don't know if Shen Zhizhou is willing to take a risk. Mao Zheng said.

"Now that the army is pressing, and our army is empty, is there anything more dangerous than this? Shen Kuo said with determination.

"We are empty, but we have to be strong. We can't stick to the city and wait for reinforcements, we must take the initiative to attack so that the enemy will not dare to act rashly. After the last defeat, Liang Yongneng must have become a frightened bird, as long as we put on a posture, we will definitely be able to scare him off. Mao Zheng said.

"It is precisely because of the defeat that Liang Yongneng has become more and more cautious. Don't you know, Liang Yongneng sent a lot of scouts to find out the truth of our army. If you want to bluff, I'm afraid it's not so easy. But judging by the way you look, you probably haven't said anything yet. Shen Kuo continued to ask.

"Shen Zhizhou forgot what we are doing now? Although we don't have soldiers, the grain and grass of the three armies are all in Mizhi City. As long as we first mobilize grain and grass to ensure the daily use of 100,000 troops, and then spread the news that we have laid down 100,000 ambush soldiers, just wait for him Liang Yong to drill into the trap. Liang Yongneng is already a frightened bird, as long as we do enough kung fu, we don't have to worry about beating him back. Mao Zheng smiled.

"Well said, it's still a good thing in your brain. The more cautious Liang Yongneng is, the more favorable the situation will be for us. But in order to be sure, we still have to add more ingredients. Shen Kuo stroked his palms and said.

"Oh, I don't know Shen Zhizhou, what does this so-called 'handful of material' refer to?" Mao Zheng asked with interest.

"You can sing about the empty city, but you have to come up with something real. Liang Yongneng has already suffered pain, but we have to prick his scar to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Shen Kuo said, and said his thoughts.

Mao Zheng and Shen Kuo discussed the details again, and then arranged to deal with Liang Yongneng's attack.
