Chapter 505 The joke of history
Cao Wei was in the northwest and heard that he had won several small battles.
Li Jilong was also in the northwest, and seemed to have encountered a case of fighting for the throne. He stood in the wrong team, so he hid in Chenzhou and later started to use it and became a governor of Shengzhou. He was still worried and asked him to exchange it with Cao Wei.
This is the news that Xiao Yanyan got from her desk.
The battle report of the defeat in Hedong has not yet been sent to her.
Therefore, after several encounters, she wisely chose not to get angry, and the Song Dynasty retreated the people on the front line together. This was a fatal matter. The Liao Kingdom could not have a large amount of food and supplies in every battle like the Song Dynasty army.
Therefore, she concentrated the main army and turned to Dingzhou.
This is the depression in Hebei. Most of them are plain areas. Even if there are cities, they cannot stop the enemy from moving south. Fortunately, there are mostly swamps and lakes in Cangzhou, otherwise it would be worse. Later, the Yellow River was diverted and flooded many times, silting, the lakes were gone, and the swamps were gone, so the Jin soldiers went south unimpeded. Of course, the Jin people were also suffering, and the Yuan and Mongolian troops also went south unimpeded until the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty...
Now the multiple-choice question is in Wang Chao's hands.
The army was in his hands, and there was no restraint from Zhou Ying. More than 100,000 troops had the power to fight.
However, Wang Chao did one thing and remained silent.
This is the controversy in later generations. Some people say that Wang Chao did the right thing. He was the leader and had to obey Zhao Heng's instructions. Where to set up a large formation.
Some people say that Wang Chao did something wrong, it was not the same thing. Zhao Heng was a slutty person, so ruthless that Zhou Ying made such a big mistake. Song Jiu just asked Zhou Ying to be the governor of Chuzhou, and even slandered the wrong words. He would not give any instructions to the king outside! If Wang Chao was really learning from Li Jilong, would Zhao Heng punish him? I definitely won’t!
In fact, Wang Chao is also considering this issue.
There are two results. If you win, I believe that Zhao Heng will not only not punish him, but will reward him. But if you lose, what will happen?
At the beginning, he chose to escape. Besides, now.
This is a general who can only fight against the wind and advantageous battles, just like most Song generals. Although he is brave, he dare not fight against the wind.
Therefore, he "wisely" chose a result, logging as a gate, and defending firmly.
However, he did not expect that his career was a little dim. Don’t forget that there was another prime minister in the court, an old minister of three dynasties, and he served as prime minister for many years and even took the initiative to go to the battlefield several times...
Wang Chao held his troops and Xiao Yanyan was not easy to chew. But this hit her mind. It would be better for you to do this.
Moreover, the supply of 300,000 troops also gave her a headache, so the army ignored Wang Chao and Hebei troops and whipped south.
Wang Chao remained even more silent.
The Song Dynasty had horses and cavalry. In fact, the situation of horses during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty was not very tense in history. Before Li Jiqian completely controlled the northwest, the Song Dynasty obtained many war horses, and the number of horses they owned in the Battle of Chanyuan reached 200,000. However, it was mostly raised in the Central Plains. In addition, the officials in the pastoral supervision department were corrupt and unable to raise them, and many died one after another. Then it turned into an infantry battle.
The situation is better now. Not only did Li Jiqian control all the territory in history fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty, but Cao Wei also opened up some territory in Weizhou and even bought many war horses from Beizhubu.
These are the Mongolian horses that were later called "Si" and their explosive power and running speed are not as good as Hetao horses. However, they are easier to raise, and the court also chose a group of them to enter the army.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty government owned more than 280,000 war horses, and the actual number of war horses was larger. Most of them were placed among the people. After all, raising a war horse would cost a lot.
With horses, cavalry.
Now the number of cavalry in the Song Dynasty has long exceeded 100,000.
Most are still in the northwest, but there are also many cavalrymen in Hebei and Hedong.
Including Wang Chao, there are more than 20,000 cavalrymen in his hands.
However, even if you dare not fight in Dingzhou, do you dare to chase after it? If the three armies are used, the infantry will definitely be dragged to death, and the number of cavalry is insufficient.
So let's continue to rest.
Xiao Yanyan was very happy. In fact, she had already seen the disadvantages of this formation, otherwise she would not have dared to easily move south from all over the country.
The people of Hebei are in tragedy this time.
At first, the Liao Kingdom encountered serious trouble because Song Jiu's proposal that the courts of various prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River in Hebei invested in the construction of many city walls, and even allocated funds for some large villages to build village walls.
There is also the training of the village soldiers, one is to fight, and the other is how to lead the people to various safe places in time when the Liao army invaded.
Because several battles on the front line were delayed, and it was the slack season after the autumn, most people retreated into various cities in time.
The deathly now that the village soldiers have reorganized, and have some preliminary organization. They also have standard weapons from the court. They even distribute a yellow birch bow, one hundred to two hundred arrows, and there are weapons such as Pu Dao, and even sinister beast traps, but not iron rings, but two semicircular iron blades. They will not kill people, but when they are put on the ground, they will cover some floating soil, and they can't see it. However, when the people fall on it, their legs will definitely be seriously injured. If they cannot die, they will most likely lose their combat effectiveness.
Some village soldiers even got inspiration to dig holes on the ground, which were covered with sharpened wooden stakes. If they fell in, they would be dead.
This is not sinister, because the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, Shi Pu brought many people of Wuxuanming and his confidants back to the Song Dynasty.
What do you do the most at this time when you give birth to a Jurchen?
It's not fighting, it's digging holes.
It’s cold. If you don’t dig a hole in the cold winter, you can’t survive. The scale of this hole is still very large and recorded in history. Not only do people live in the living room, food is released, but pigs are also raised in the cave.
Therefore, Song Jiu sent these people out in advance and taught the people to dig tunnels in many places.
Therefore, after the Liao Dynasty went south, he encountered great trouble in cracking grass valleys. These measures were not invincible, but with the little grass valleys he was hit, was it worth so many soldiers to be killed? As for how many people of the Song Dynasty were killed, can the lives of the Song Dynasty be compared with them?
Even if you change ten points, you can easily replace 300,000 Liao troops.
Therefore, Xiao Yanyan was forced to reduce the unnecessary grass-drawing valley.
It is this measure that reduced the casualties of the Liao army to the people by about half this time!
But it did not stump Xiao Yanyan,
With Qizhou being taken down, the troops were too small. Although the defending officers and soldiers resisted bravely, they only lasted for two days before being captured. This allowed the Liao army to obtain a large supply. Because of the resistance of the Song people these days, the Liao Kingdom angrily killed all the officials and soldiers of Qizhou together with the officers and soldiers, and even killed many innocent people.
Then the Liao army quickly moved south again. Soon the city of Shenzhou fell and Yingzhou was isolated, and there was no news. Hundreds of thousands of Liao cavalry continued to move south and rushed straight to Daming Prefecture.
After passing Daming Prefecture, it is Chanzhou, and then the unprepared Huazhou, and then to the capital...
Kou Zhun was anxious. He said in the Political Affairs Hall: "The enemy cavalry has reached the east of Shenqi, but the three armies on the edge of the border are still motionless in Dingzhou. Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, Yang Yanlang, Tian Min and others are in the Wei Lu Army. There are no other troops stationed in the East Road of Hebei. Please issue an edict to issue tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry in Tianxiong Army to settle in Beizhou. If there is less than 5,000 people, please let Du Yanjun and other generals obey Sun Quanzhao's dispatch. If the enemy is close, please cover up the attack. Then let Shi Pu and Yan Chenghan fight accordingly, and then recruit strong men to go deep into the enemy's territory and burn tribe tents. To fight for the storm, there may be more scouts to hear the enemy's movements and silences, and also to report to Tianxiong Army. One is to calm the hearts of the people, two is to confuse the enemy's forces, three is to shake Shi Pu Yan Chenghan's military power, and four is to look at Xing and Ming, which is enough to serve as a support."
However, after he finished speaking, Zhao Heng did not move.
The reason is very simple. Song Jiu told him last night that Hebei East Road is not very important. Xiao Yanyan went south this time and gathered an army of 300,000, as he had guessed before.
What is she going to do?
Soldiers are directed at Kaifeng!
If the troops were divided too much, the speed of the march would be dragged down. The Song Dynasty was really jealous. Once reinforcements from all over the Song Dynasty arrived, it would be difficult to break the Kaifeng City. No matter how much Liao gained this time, I believe it would be better.
If the Liao Kingdom really doesn’t spend a penny on war, there is no reward after the war?
Kou Zhun also said: "The soldiers who follow the army should not compete with the enemy in the field to decide the victory or defeat. Today, the Xiong army arrived in Beizhou and stationed only 30,000 troops. If the enemy cavalry was south of Beizhou, they would send more than 30,000 people from Dingzhou to send more than 30,000 troops to the Dingzhou, so that the generals Sang Zan and others could form a formation south to Zhenzhou, and then ordered the Hedong Lei to join forces from Tumen to meet Dingzhou. To judge the situation, the Luan and the chariots could move smoothly. Wang Chao and others were also ordered to form a formation in Yicheng Dingzhou to respond to Wei Neng and others, and then they would be lucky to Daming."
Song Jiu frowned slightly.
Or form a formation!
Form a ghost formation!
Finally, Kou Zhun said: "If the enemy builds a gate in the town and the suburbs of Dingzhou, the soldiers in Dingzhou cannot come. The north of Xing and Ming are gradually being invaded, and the elite soldiers must be divided into three groups, and the generals must be joined. If Wei Neng and others go east, they will be restrained by the city. The enemy will have worries and dare not discuss in depth. If the car is not allowed, they will be more afraid that the thieves will harm the living beings, or if they are promoted by the rebels, they must also cross the river. Fortunately, the sacred land will be easily controlled and the gathering will be controlled."
Zhao Heng did not talk about his personal journey to Chengzhou first, but said slowly: "Someone suggested to me that the capital would be moved to Yizhou or Jinling, what do you think?"
Kou Zhun was stunned at first, then looked at Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou next to him. Wang Qinruo is from Jiangnan and Chen Yaosou is from Sichuan. Needless to say, this ridiculous idea was made by them.
He was furious and said, "Whoever draws this strategy for Your Majesty can be killed! Today, Zi Shenwu, and the generals and generals are in harmony. If the chariots personally fight, they should escape. Otherwise, they will make a surprise attempt to stumble on their plans and stick to their own people. With the power of work and rest, I will have a chance to win, but I will give up the clan society and stay away from Chu and Shu!"
Song Jiu smiled bitterly, this is the joke of history.
Needless to ask, he also knew it was the bad idea of Chen and Wang. Will Zhao Heng agree?
Not to mention that Chengdu is not very stable now, what will happen after Emperor Minghuang of Tang escaped to Chengdu?
As for Jinling, how long has the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty? Is the country really in chaos to the point where the Western Jin Dynasty?
Besides, Zhao Heng didn’t know that Kou Zhun was a pro-war faction, so why did he deliberately ask Kou Zhun, or ask in front of Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou?
This is an absurd remark that intentionally used Kou Zhun's mouth to block the two of them. After all, if Wang Qin was his beloved minister, it would be a bit bad to scold him in person. If he was not a beloved minister, Zhao Heng rarely scolded his ministers.
It seems that this incident has become Kou Zhun's contribution in history. He suddenly understands why Wang Qinruo successfully instigated him in history.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at Wang Dan.
This person will take responsibility for the country in the future.
Of course, Kou Zhun could not have thought that Song Jiu would have thought of the future prime minister's candidate a few years later. He might have been stimulated by this. Maybe he had been dissatisfied with Song Jiu and roared at Song Jiu again: "Mr. Song, I ask you, since you entered the Secretariat, compared with the first year of Xianping, I have increased the total military expenditure in the past four years by more than 11,000 yuan. Where are the soldiers trained in the northwest?"
"Finally... Ping Zhong, since you asked me, it's time for me to reveal the truth. But all this has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It's all my plan. After the war, no matter how many people died, or success or failure, I will be responsible for it..."
