Chapter 1,299 Great Victory

The young military envoy frowned and said, "How come the Xia Kingdom is also doing this? I am Sun Neng, the commander of the He Controlling Army of the Great Song Dynasty. You two, get up and follow me to identify me."

"Hey..." The two of them quickly stood up.

Sun Neng said: "You can leave these two things to your subordinates. It won't be a burden."

"I don't mind, I don't mind..." The two men shook their heads quickly: "Please ask the general to lead the way. The ground is slippery and there is a flagpole to hold it, so walking is easy..."

Sun Neng was too lazy to care about these two people and led them to a temporary position surrounded by several large vehicles. There were hundreds of corpses of Xia soldiers inside and outside. It seemed that they were all put away to protect a big shot in the middle.

Fall here.

Sun Neng stretched out his hand and pointed to a corpse sitting stiffly on the ground leaning against a cart in the car formation: "It was him who led his men to fight to the death last night. Finally, when he saw that he was about to be captured, he wiped his neck and committed suicide."

Wang Chong threw down his flag and crawled into the formation. He hugged the body and cried bitterly: "This is me, the commander-in-chief of the Jianing Army, and the sixth king, Uncle Wei, is the commander-in-chief of the army!"

Liu Yanshan quickly said: "Fake, fake Jianing military commander, fake uncle Wang."

"Liu Zihou!" Wang Chong's remaining conscience seemed to be inspired by the suicide of his immediate boss: "You are so shameless! I want to break off our relationship with you!"

Liu Yanshan's face turned red and he turned away, but he still muttered: "It takes fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps..."

"Stop the quarrel!" Sun Neng stopped the two of them, then thought for a moment and said to Wang Chong: "Then it's you. Since you are a nobleman of the Xia Kingdom and you are loyal and brave without losing integrity, I admire you very much. Go and find him."

A coffin to bury him alive."

He glanced at the hundreds of corpses surrounding the Weiming commander and said: "The same goes for them. Just like the current guard leaders, they will be buried next to the Weiming general manager and let them continue to perform their duties."

Liu Chong looked at Sun Neng and couldn't help but feel a hint of reverence: "Thank you so much, General for your kindness."

Sun Neng said: "When a man goes to war on the battlefield and his body is wrapped in horse leather, it is not a serious matter. On the contrary, you two and the strong men in your camp do not look like people who know how to fight."

Liu Yanshan said: "The general doesn't know that this is the pseudo-Xia system, called Shengding. If the military situation is urgent, even women will be dispatched, called Ma Kui."

"Nonsense." Sun Neng took the kettle and towel from the guard and handed them to Liu Chong, who was about to clean the face of Weiming's army: "It may be okay for herdsmen to do this. Hongzhou and Longzhou are both farmers in the modern Song Dynasty. This is not a driving force."

Are the people going to die without instruction?"

"That's not what it is..." These words were so deep in Liu Yanshan's heart that he couldn't help but answer. Then he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was an enemy general, and he couldn't help but shut up quickly.

But Sun Neng didn't take it seriously: "After cleaning the battlefield, I will take the people back. It's time to farm the land and herd the sheep. The war is a matter for the officials and armies of the two countries and has nothing to do with the people."

"After pacifying the people under your rule, when the transfer department comes, you two may be able to keep your positions as governors."

Liu Yanshan quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, General, for your advice."

Sun Neng looked at the dead people and horses heading north: "I don't know when the cleanup will be finished... We still have to attack Xiazhou. Do you have any familiar village guides?"

"Me!" Liu Yanshan signed up immediately, and when he saw Sun Neng's playful eyes, he said sarcastically: "My family is from a wealthy family in Yanzhou... With the war and chaos happening, I also want to go back and see my mother... Or, maybe I can make meritorious service...

…”

On the first day of the tenth month of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, a report from the Director General of the Sixth Route Army was delivered to Bianjing.

"Inheriting the command from the previous commander, all the armies adjusted their strategies and marched forward in several directions to capture Yingli, Mingsha, Yaode, Salt, and other places. Lai's officers and men worked bravely and fought vigorously, and finally achieved victory."

"Wang Zhongzheng came out of Jialuchuan, and when he returned to Siguidu, he slaughtered Ye Danma, the commander of the heroic army in the left wing. The commander of the Xiangyou army, Baa, buried two troops, beheaded 80,000 people, captured 60,000 horses, 90,000 cattle, and filled the valley with lambs. , unforgettable."

"We recruited hundreds of tribes, large and small, with a population of 150,000, from the Quye River in the west to the Mingtang River in the east, all in the Imperial Song Dynasty. Qiang songs were spread throughout the country, and they all expressed their thanks to the Holy Emperor for saving him."

"Former Chang Zuo was besieged and forced into a camel's mouth, and they formed a formation of chariots on both sides of the river to choose the winner and defend themselves. The Xia people led 80,000 troops to surround and attack for three days. Chang Zuo and Yao Lin took the lead, shouting to fight, and the Western thieves lay down two corpses. Ten thousand, a few square meters of chariot base, and the chariot camp is full of soldiers."

"Zhong'e led the Yan Yan army to conquer Xia Prefecture. When he heard that Chang Zuo was besieged, he ordered Sun Neng to rescue him."

"For four days and three nights, the crane-controlling army galloped five hundred miles and arrived at the camel's mouth at night. They did not repair themselves and directly overturned the Yongneng army."

"The Western bandits were greatly frowning. Chang Zuo also cooperated inside and outside, led Yao Lin and Guo Cheng, and divided into three groups of fine cavalry to ride together in the bandit camp."

"It was Ye Po Yongneng who killed eighty-thousand people, killed the puppet king of Xia, and eighty-seven generals below Weiming, the commander-in-chief of the Jianing Army Division, and captured two of the Western thieves, the Jianing Division and the Baotai Division. Road flags and drums, seals, the general's account, documents, military registers, swords and armor. There are no financial reserves."

"The commander of the Jianing Army knew Liu Yanshan of Hongzhou and Wang Chong of Longzhou, and led 20,000 men to surrender."

"E said that Liu Yan was a good man to the powerful families of the Five Plains, and he was good at recruiting and caring for them. He appointed him as the leader of the countryside and took Yanzhou lightly without spending a single shot."

"Gao Zunyu on the Jingyuan Road, because of the new army of Ganyi, they raided Mingsha and captured the imperial warehouse, with a total of 180,000 stones of grain, millet and grass."

"Li Xian and Su Lie on Xihe Road used Hunduo to cross the natural chasm at night and capture Yingli."

"All the cities in the north of the mountain are in my hands, two hundred miles to the left and right. The roads are flat and open, and carriages and horses can be used. Messengers and scouts are constantly on the road, and they ride and respond to each other. The common people are almost free from elbow and armpit troubles."

"Report the merits and beg the troops to attach themselves to the city walls, rest for a while, and strengthen the defensive points, and award them with rewards."

Great victory!

The Jingyang bell rang again in Bianjing City, leaflets were flying from the bell tower of the dock again, and red letters were printed on the front pages of the Times and Business Daily, which heightened the festive atmosphere in Beijing to the extreme, a month ahead of schedule!

Zhao Xu, dressed in military uniform, drove to the Wuying Hall and received congratulations from the officials for the second time.

The Song Army's operation finally went without any flaws. At this point in the battle, the Shanbei front has advanced to the Great Wall line, and there are big cities relying on it to echo each other and attack Xingling's offensive line, including the Great Wall Chidao, Lingzhouchuan, and the Yellow River water and land. There are as many as four roads in total!

The Xia people were even more stretched to support the situation.

Even the merchants and citizens who read the news with the Times knew that the situation in the Song Dynasty this time was very different from the previous discussions!

Nowadays, the major restaurants are in an uproar, and everyone is concerned about whether the Duke of Guo can destroy Xixia before the arrival of the New Year!

Everyone in the court, including Sun Gu and Lu Gongzhu, the most conservative people, met at the flag pavilion for a drink.

Zhao Xu issued an edict on the same day, ordering all six routes to go to the Strategy Department and report the meritorious personnel.

In fact, the glorious deeds of these people have already been sent to Bianjing by newspaper reporters. The "Times" and "Business Daily" have published numerous articles. The image and status of the soldiers of the Imperial and Song Dynasties have been repeatedly raised among the people.

There was only one person who was still writing reports honestly and pouring cold water on the court.

Su You, the Duke of Fu who is as old as a ten-thousand-year-old dog.

In Jiazi, the Sixth Route Army's General Manager reported: "I have heard from Commander Li Xian that it is advisable to take advantage of the condensation of river ice, divide the strong troops and brave generals, and cross to the north to attack. If the robber nest is overturned, the spirit defense, although strong, will collapse on its own."

"Although this plan is good, the weather and the weather are not suitable. Although there is heavy snow on the road today, the Yellow River is not frozen, and the military planes are located here in a sparse area, it is not feasible."

This was actually Su You's tactful criticism of Zhao Xu. Of course, this bad idea could not have come from the Military Aircraft Department. I wonder if Zhao Xu had listened to some nonsense about the war and was giving blind orders in the court.

However, this responsibility can only be handled by the Military Aircraft Department. Su You also reminded Zhao Xu that a Military Aircraft Department has been set up for you. Your Majesty, please listen to them more.

"In the second month of the month when all the soldiers are out of the border, they are exposed to the cold weather. The commander in charge of the army should always check them carefully and give them money or special support. If they don't make them lose their place, they should not be too lenient."

This was because they were afraid that the imperial court would pressure the front line to advance, and demanded that the soldiers be given time to repair and readjust the rhythm of the war that had been disrupted by Liu Changzuo.

"The new cities and fortresses are at the strategic point, guarding the north and south, such as Lan, Yin, Xia, You, salt, and grain stores. There are tens of thousands of them, and the household registration is over ten million. They are all guarded by capable envoys."

"The government and the army have secured the land of Henan, which used to belong to Han County. The fortresses are roughly complete and the place is in such a bad situation that the imperial court should order officials to guard it as soon as possible."

"Members of the prefectures and counties can order the northwest roads to join the capital to be elected officials, or they can join the army and surrender as puppet officials to serve as officials. Those who dare to serve because of the despicable territory will be begged for a promotion."

"However, to stabilize the number of roads, you must be able to recruit important ministers. Beg to build Zhentao, Gaolan, and Jincheng as one road; Sui, You, Yin, and Xia are one road; Quye, Jialu, and Mingtang are three rivers as one road, so choose Qianhan
