Chapter 619: New methods developed during the war

Just when Mu Zheng summoned the defeated Tibetan troops, reorganized his army, and prepared to recapture Mobang Mountain, Wang Shao ordered his general Jing Sili to lead the Jingyuan army out of Zhuniuling South Road, bluffing and containing Mu Zheng's main force, but he himself

Leading the main force of the Song Army, they set out from the Donggu Trail to attack Wusheng City, an important town on the back road of Mu Zheng!

Ten miles away from Wusheng, Wang Shao encountered Wusheng's defenders.

The defenders had gathered here temporarily to prepare to enter the city. They didn't expect that Wang Shao would drop his magic soldiers from the sky. They were defenseless. In addition, the Western army now had sharp weapons and high morale. It was a complete crushing attack.

Xi Yao, the general sent by Mu Zheng to Wu Sheng, abandoned the city and fled. The Song army entered Wu Sheng and was about to close the door and beat the dogs.

When Mu Zheng learned that Wu Sheng had failed, he was so distraught that he hurriedly abandoned Mobang Mountain and returned to the army to join forces with Blind Yao in an attempt to regain Wu Sheng.

However, all this had already been planned by Wang Shao.

When Mu Zheng's army arrived at Wushun City, it was attacked from both front and rear by the Song army, and was defeated again. Mu Zheng's allied army, Qu Sa Si Wang Ah Ke, led his more than 20,000 soldiers to surrender.

Mu Zheng led the defeated troops and fled towards Gongling City, but was closely pursued by Jing Sili.

After Mu Zheng entered the city, before he could close the city gate, the Song army chased him to the bottom of the city.

Mu Zheng had no choice but to abandon the city and leave, and Jing Sili took the opportunity to seize Gongling City.

Mu Zheng's brother Jie Wu Yanzheng, who was stationed in the city, had no choice but to "gather more than 2,000 members of his clan and the chief leader Li Lengzhan Nazhi and others to surrender."

Three days later, the Xixia people arrived at Wusheng, but it turned out that Wusheng had changed hands and the trip was in vain.

After the Song army occupied Wusheng City, the first phase of the Hehuang strategy was basically achieved. Wang Shao expanded the territory thousands of miles in one battle and recruited 100,000 Tibetan tribesmen to surrender. The Song Dynasty captured the land along the Qing and Tang Dynasties!

At the same time, Su You also started taking action.

With Wu Kui as the commander-in-chief, Wang Zhongzheng as the supervisor, Yongxing's army Lu Yanda, Zhe Jichang, Deshun's military branch exegesis, Hoan's army Su Lie, led Suizhou Buba Ziwei Mingshan, and added some cheating to avenge the shame.

In this way, he went up the Baima River and seized the important passage on the Hengshan watershed, Chungang Gorge Toad Village!

The path of the Xia invaders to Huanqing was blocked in one fell swoop! The offensive and defensive pattern of Huanqing underwent a fundamental change!

From a strategic point of view, Suyou's attack was impeccable regardless of the right time, place, and people.

But from a tactical point of view, in Fan Longshan’s words, it’s so damn embarrassing! I’m embarrassed to say that I’m the chosen striker this time!

The so-called tactics are to send camouflage scouts with homing pigeons for hundreds of miles, and then the armies rotate in a wave shape, marching safely, setting up camp safely, sweeping the valleys safely, climbing the hillsides safely, and moving safely.

Securely seize the stronghold.

If you want to resist, I will destroy you. If you want to run away, I will send you away without pursuing you.

The only outstanding achievement was the last-ditch capture of Toad Stronghold. Toad Stronghold was a battleground for military strategists, and of course the Xia people had to defend it frantically.

But the Song army could definitely use advanced equipment and sufficient logistics to bully the Xia people, whose horses were almost dying of weight.

With grenades, blasting tubes, and the suppression of crane-shin crossbows, the Xia people basically didn't even have many opportunities for close hand-to-hand combat.

If you want to stand out, I will shoot you to death. If you want to enter the village, I will blow up the wall.

The war completely changed under Su You's hands. It became a battle of strength.

Guo Kui is confident. Since I have strong soldiers and strong horses and the strength to crush me, why do I still have to play tricks when dealing with a straight terrain like Baimachuan?!

In the end, the Xia people abandoned the corpses of five thousand people and retreated with tears in their eyes.

Then there is the matter of safely transporting materials, safely building the castle, safely hoarding military supplies, and safely deploying defenses.

Su You received the news in Weizhou and wrote a report to Zhongshu. The Huanqing area is in our hands. The largest gap on the Linxia front line has been blocked. The offensive and defensive postures of both sides have completely changed. Now it is our turn to overlook the Hetao Plain.

!

When the two memorials were sent to Bianjing, Zhao Xu shook his head after reading them.

Compared with Wang Shao's attack in Xihe from the east to the west, the tiger left the mountain and crossed the sea to cover up the sky and cross the sea in order to catch the enemy with less force and catch more people by surprise, seducing and instigating rebellion, making large-scale detours and cutting, and a bunch of dazzling maneuvers. Su You's march this time can be summed up in six words: "Strengthen the stronghold and fight against the enemy".

Dumb war!

The young men in the Western Army, such as Zhe Kexing, and even the eunuchs Wang Zhongzheng and Tong Guan, all felt the same as Zhao Xu, that is, this kind of battle did not reflect the commander's wisdom at all.

However, veteran generals such as Zhe Jizu, Guo Kui, etc. sneered at this statement.

Zhe Jizu called Zhe Kexing and gave him a scolding. Why do you want to dance? Internal officials and Fan Longshan don’t know much about it! Mr. Xiao Su fights small wars the same way he fights big wars. He is teaching you how to command in the civil service.

Win next!

How long can you, Mr. Su, stay in Shaanxi? Soon you will be replaced by a nonsense scholar. Only fighting this kind of war can guarantee the harvest due to drought and flood!

How do you expect a few literati in the imperial court to beat Wang Zichun, who dances on the tip of a knife?! Let them do this kind of thing, just wait for your bones to beat the drum!

However, Xining had a magical start in the fifth year. Zhao Xu was a little arrogant again and renamed Wusheng City to Xizhou again, and divided Xi, He, Tao, Min, Tongyuan and other places into one road. Taking the ancient Wei City as the

In the Tongyuan Army, Wang Shao knew the military affairs and served as Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy.

In order to have enough troops for military use and to expand Wusheng City, Wang Shao asked Su You to follow Su You's example and open Yanbian Trade and fix the Guese Market. Basically all of its trade bulk came from central Sichuan, mainly Sichuan tea and silk.

, mainly porcelain.

Of course, there are also luxury goods such as Meishan Brocade, Erlin Horse Whip, Weizhou Grain Ware, Patterned Daggers, Colored Glass Products, Dali Five-Color Glaze Burnt Inlaid Bronze Ware, and Yellow and White Bronze Ware.

There was no Huangsong Bank in Wang Shao's place. In order to solve the circulation problem in time and strengthen defense, the boy "recruited powerful Han and Tibetan people to use them as officials" and "ordered the officials to make money according to their income and enter the official position on credit." He borrowed official money on credit.

Give it to Fanhan merchants and charge short-term interest.

In less than two months, the army had collected 100,000 yuan.

After this battle, Cai Ting, a direct bachelor of Longtuge, finally moved to Weizhou and was promoted to deputy envoy to the privy council.

Knowing that Lu Gongbi of Zhengzhou was on the road to quasi-industrialized industrial management, he became the envoy of the Nanyuan of Xuanhui and judged Qinzhou. The burden on the shoulders of Suyou and Hongjiang was relieved a lot.

One hundred thousand guan made Wang Shao extremely happy, but in Su You, this kid was crazy about stimulating domestic demand, and the sales of agricultural machinery and small water conservancy machinery alone exceeded this amount.

In addition to the wool industry, the canned industry, the oil industry, and the supply of various military supplies, the Shaanxi Branch of Huangsong Bank, based on the Qinzhou gold and copper mining business, invested 6 million guan in circulating currency this year, so there was no money shortage!

Wang Anshi felt that Wang Shao's method was very good. "To the east and west of the Tao River, the Tibetan and Han dynasties gathered together, and if Wu defeated the army, it would become the commander's mansion. Recruit powerful Tibetan and Han people, pretend to be official officials, build houses and shops, and make the Tibetan and Han officials and private parties

If it is profitable, then it will be easy to defend it, and it will be quick to gather it."

He also pushed his thoughts further, thinking that this was a replica of the Han Dynasty's equalization law, which could equalize the quality of goods. So he encouraged Zhao Xu to use the money and silk stored in the treasury to set up market transactions in the capital.

Wei Jizong, a businessman, said: "Since recent years, when it comes to cargo services, there is actually more money and goods than there is in accumulation, and the officials in charge of the collection are stuck to the regular system and do not care about the equalization of changes."

"It is advisable to leave the accumulated money and place it in the Changping City Yisi. Select officials who are responsible for the financial affairs and still seek the assistance of good businessmen so that they can know the value of the goods in the market. If they are low, the price will be reduced and the price will be increased. It will hurt business; if it is expensive, it will be sold at a low price, so that it will not harm the people."

"The balance is not lost when going in and out, and the surplus interest can be given to the prince, so that the market goods will not be flooded, and the power of opening pavilions, gathering and dispersing will not be transferred to the rich people, business travel can be facilitated, and the people can be carried out, and the state will be enough." .”

The market change law was introduced in a hurry.
