Chapter 109: Yan Yun's Restoration (6)
Chapter 109: Yan Yun’s Restoration (Sixth)
"The official's will?" Wu Ji was very surprised: "Is something wrong in Shaanxi?"
The will of Song Shenzong came too quickly, and there must be something big, otherwise, the will would not be delivered at this time. What Wu Ji was most worried about was the war in Shanzhou. Fortunately, even if the war was in the current situation, even if Shanzhou was defeated miserably, it would no longer affect the overall situation.
"High!" Wang Shao raised his thumb and exclaimed, and then his face darkened. He could twist out the water, saying: "The people of Xixia set up an ambush, wiped out the Anding Army, and took down the Anding Five Cities in one fell swoop, robbed people, and burned people. The Anding Five Cities have become ruins. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been no such miserable situation!"
Although the Song Dynasty was weak and had been suppressed by foreign races for hundreds of years, he had never lost a city in these hundred years, nor had he suffered such a tragic incident. When Wang Shao mentioned this, he was harsh and gritted his teeth, and hated his teeth.
"So miserable?" Wu Ji was shocked and jumped up suddenly.
Wu Ji had predicted the war in Shanzhou. Even if he suffered a defeat, it would not be so miserable. Five cities turned into ruins. This was a terrifying event for the massacre of the city. In an instant, Wu Ji's face was exactly the same as Wang Shao's. He could twist out water. His fists were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to spurt fire. He said in a deep voice: "The people of Xixia owed a lot of blood debts, we must get it back!"
"We must get it back!" Wang Shaoda agreed with this proposal: "Blood debt is natural and blood-paying!"
Although hatred, things have come to this point. No matter how much hatred is, it is important to deal with the important matter. Wu Ji took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, took the imperial edict, and took it open. It turned out that Song Shenzong asked him to lead his army to Xixia to escape the siege of Shanzhou.
Among them, the process of negotiations between the DPRK and China was particularly mentioned.
"Cai Jing?" Wu Ji never thought that Cai Jing, a famous treacherous minister, had the most insightful knowledge and put forward the most correct proposition and prevented a wrong move.
"Haha!" Wang Shao let out a burst of laughter and said, "Brother Wu, this Cai Jing is amazing. He is smart, knowledgeable, smart, loyal to the king's affairs, and vigorously promotes new laws. He is highly appreciated by the officials and Jie Fu."
He highly praised Cai Jing and expressed his appreciation for him. It can be heard that Wang Shao's appreciation for Cai Jing comes from the heart.
Wu Ji believed in Wang Shao's vision and thought to himself: "No one is born a treacherous minister. The reason why Cai Jing became a treacherous minister was because he met the incompetent emperor of Song Huizong! As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to Mo are black. Song Huizong likes to be sensual and sensual. Over time, Cai Jing will change."
Song Huizong was a famous romantic emperor in Chinese history. He liked sex and sex, especially his achievements in art. Cai Jing had a very high artistic attainment and was deeply appreciated by Song Huizong. Gradually, Cai Jing changed.
"Brother Wu, you have been hungry for a few days, so let's eat some first. While you eat, we will discuss the matter of sending troops." Wang Shao waved his hand, and a soldier came in, holding a lot of food in his hand, put it in front of Wu Ji, and retreated.
Wu Ji was so hungry that he felt like a greedy cat met a salted fish when he saw the food. He wanted to swallow it all. Wang Shao was so panicked that he hurriedly stopped him and reminded him: "Brother Wu, hurry up, don't be too anxious."
After hearing this, Wu Ji really wanted to scold him, but he knew that he was right, so he had to resist the impulse and ate it in small mouthfuls, but his eyes were staring at the food. Since the war in Zhuozhou started, he had not eaten delicious food for more than half a month. Once the food entered his mouth, it felt even more fragrant than the delicacies of mountains and seas. Wu Ji was so greedy that he could not move his eyes away, and he was like a starving ghost reincarnation.
"Brother Wu, Yelu Hongji escaped. What do you think about this?" Wang Shao saw Wu Ji's appearance and almost laughed out loud. He never expected that Wu Ji, who had always been steady, would have such a side of being seduced by food. Think about it carefully, if anyone would be like this, he would drool in his mouth, but if he wanted someone, he would drool in his greed.
He was trying to divert Wu Ji's attention. Sure enough, Wu Ji had to suppress his mind, raised his brows, and explained his views. Wang Shao heard it very carefully, and nodded constantly, saying, "Brother Wu is clear-minded and has a vision. Just after this battle, you are planning the next big battle. It's amazing!"
Anyone would appreciate Wu Ji's vision. Just now, the Liao Kingdom was defeated and the land of Yanyun had not been recovered yet, and Wu Ji was planning the next big battle, and he still had to fundamentally solve the Khitan problem. This is truly and appreciated.
"What Brother Wu said is very reasonable." Wang Shao continued, "At the beginning, when I heard Yelu Hongji escaped, I was so angry that I was furious that I scolded my brother. If you were by my side at that time, I would definitely pinch you. Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liaogou, he escaped, and there were endless troubles. After a while, I thought about it carefully and felt that Yelu Hongji's escape might not be a bad thing, and gave us the opportunity to completely solve the Khitan problem!"
Wu Ji nodded and said, "If Yelu Hongji did not escape, the Khitan tribes would be unrestrained and would be scattered in the desert to become enemies of the Song Dynasty. It would be very difficult for the Song Dynasty to wipe out. Think about the Huns, who defeated Emperor Wu of Han and changed their strategies and no longer fought head-on with the Han Dynasty, but instead disturbed the Han Dynasty, which made the Han Dynasty very troublesome. It was not until decades after Emperor Wu of Han that the Huns came to surrender. Even after surrendering, the Huns still refused to accept and kept disturbing the Han Dynasty, which made the Han Dynasty poor to deal with it. Later, the Xianbei Tan Shihuai used the same trick again, and even the Han Dynasty's relatives were not rejected. The Turks in the previous dynasty were like this."
This is all about experience. The nomadic peoples are not good at fighting head-on, but guerrilla warfare. When it comes to fighting head-on, the Huns, Xianbei, and Turks are not opponents of China, because they do not have advanced civilizations and developed technology, and their equipment and tactics are far inferior to China. It is precisely because of this that the Huns and Turks were destroyed by the Han and Tang dynasties.
However, once the nomadic people engage in guerrilla warfare, it will be a huge trouble for China. You must know that the desert is vast and boundless, and it is a place where cavalry gallops. The nomadic people come and go freely and cannot defeat China, so it is not a problem to disturb China.
If Yelu Hongji was captured alive, the Khitans would be unrestrained and would fight each other and scattered in the desert. It would be too difficult for the Song Dynasty to wipe out it.
If Yelu Hongji escaped, he would not be willing to fail. He would assemble the remnants to fight against the Song Dynasty, which gave the Song Dynasty a good opportunity. If the plan was done properly and the remaining power of the Khitan was wiped out in one battle, there would be no more disturbances, and the Khitan problem was fundamentally solved.
"Yes! Yes!" Wang Shao patted his forehead and smiled: "At the beginning, we were determined to capture Yelu Hongji alive, and almost made a big mistake. Capturing Yelu Hongji alive is a pleasure, but it makes this battle perfect, but it lays such a big problem that it will kill many people and make the Song Dynasty uneasy for decades. It is a pleasure, but it is not cost-effective. Fortunately, Yelu Hongji escaped, giving us a good opportunity to completely solve the Khitan problem!"
Yelu Hongji was the emperor of Liao, and it was everyone's wish to capture him alive. At that time, Wu Ji and the others wanted to catch him immediately. At present, they thought about it carefully. This matter was not thoughtful at that time. Fortunately, Yelu Hongji escaped, which was a good thing.
"The question is, when will we make the final blow to the Khitans?" Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji and asked the most critical question. This matter is uncertain, everything is empty talk.
A few days ago, when Zhou Wei and the others asked this question, Wu Ji fell asleep. Today, Wu Ji did not fall asleep, but shook his head and said, "It is too early to talk about when to send troops to give Yelu Hongji the last blow. In this battle, we must do two things. One is to give Yelu Hongji enough oppression and make him feel nervous, so that he will mobilize all the power that can be mobilized. The other is to give Yelu Hongji enough time. Only in this way can Yelu Hongji concentrate the remaining forces of the Khitans and make us a battle!"
If Yelu Hongji did not put enough pressure on him, he would not try every means to mobilize the residual power. Once the residual power leaked, it would be trouble for the Song Dynasty.
If Yelu Hongji is not given enough time, he will not be able to mobilize enough troops, which is very important.
"The specific time of military use depends on the specific situation. I guess it will take at least half a year, or even a year, before Yelu Hongji can concentrate the remaining forces." Wu Ji rolled his eyes and thought.
"Haha!" Wang Shaochang laughed, raised his thumb and said, "Brother Wu, it's really a pleasure to talk to you about military and national affairs. I always talk about it in my eyes. I think so too. After this battle is over, we will go back to Bianjing to meet the official family and explain it in detail in person. Well, this must be used as a secret, and I know it, and it must not be disclosed."
This is related to whether the desert is stable and whether the border is peaceful. It is indeed listed as the highest secret. Wu Ji nodded and expressed his deep agreement.
"Brother Wu, the matter of the Khitans has come to an end for the time being. I will tell you about Yan Yun." Wang Shao knew very well that in order to make Wu Ji have a comprehensive judgment, he also needed to understand Yan Yun's recent situation.
Since Zhuozhou pursued Yelu Hongji, Wu Ji has no idea about the recent situation of Yanyun Land, so it is necessary to let him know.
"After the Battle of Zhuozhou, all the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom were lost, and the news of the victory of the Song Dynasty spread throughout the Yanyun land. The Yanyun people were very happy and opened the door to welcome the king's army. The speed of restoration of the Yanyun land was far beyond my imagination." Wang Shao stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "I haven't received many good news one day? By now, the Yanyun land has been restored to a large number of redeemable forces. However, we have too few troops in our hands and we don't have time to accept it for a while. At present, there are still many places under the control of the Yanyun people."
The Land of Yanyun is the North China Plain centered on Beijing, with a large area. Although the Song army acted quickly, it was impossible to occupy all of them in such a short period of time. Many places were expelled by the people of Yanyun to expel Liao officials and temporarily managed.
"The Khitans occupied Yanyun's land and acted unruly, which made the heavens angry and the people resentful, and the gods angry. Only then did the people respond to the Song Dynasty!" Wu Ji nodded.
"Yes!" Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think about sending troops to Xixia?"
