When it comes to Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Zongbi felt desperate and even began to doubt his life—

It would be fine if you can't conquer the city, after all, this is the strength of the Song people. It is not for the wise to attack the other's strengths by using their own shortcomings.

But why can't I win the field?

For example, things like iron-shelled turtles like big car are not enough, they still have thunder in their palms!

Especially the young general of Song Jun, a white-faced general, kept staring at him, either cold arrows or rushing to the battlefield openly, looking like he would never give up until he killed him?

Do you have any hatred for killing your father or your wife?

Wanyan Zongbi reflected on it carefully and found that he had not done anything bad since he followed Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang to attack Song. At best, he robbed soldiers from Tangyin.

If it weren't for those damn Song people who had been against the army, and if they honestly contributed all the food and grass to the army, would they have to order the house to be raided?

Besides, what does it have to do with me about looting Tangyin with him, a young man from Zhending Mansion? He has to look like he will never give up until he kills himself?

The key is that I can't beat him.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Wanyan Zongbi simply picked up the wine bag and drank it aside. After throwing it aside, he said, "Give orders to make all the soldiers ready. When the soldiers of Olibu arrived, the two armies would form one army and bypass Hejian Prefecture to retreat."

...

"The official family said: In April, Wuxu, the people of Xia were trapped in the city and Zhu Zhao died. The soldiers and civilians were captured and more than 20,000 were killed or injured."

He Ji, who was uneasy in his heart, sent the information to Wuxin's heart, and then bowed and stood in front of Zhao Huan, quietly waiting for the arrival of the storm-

He Ji knew very well that the government that wins battles and wins continuously, and the government that can defeat Jin soldiers into dogs is different from the emperor who cowards both the Jin Kingdom and the Xixia.

When the emperor heard about the war, his first reaction was never how to fight, but how to negotiate peace.

And today's official family... the first reaction of today's official family is always how to beat the other party out of shit.

However, Zhao Huan suddenly felt that He Ji was unexpectedly calm. After reading the information in his hand, he threw it to Master Zhong and said, "Look at it first."

Of course, Zhao Huan's calmness is not true peace, but a habitual indifference after often knowing that he was cheated again.

The emperors of the Zhao family dynasties were basically all cheating, and they cheated their descendants. The emperor Zhao Jixiang was even more the best! Just like the Jin soldiers who went south to Zhao Jixiang, Xixia was no exception.

In the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Yingzong's Zhiping, the fifth emperor of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong died, and the sixth emperor Shenzong ascended the throne. Regarding the situation during this period, Wang Fuzhi has an incisive discussion in "On Song": the king plays with peace to praise the arrogant and arrogant enemy, the ministers establish differences and similarities to fight for quarrels, the generals fear speculation and hold their breath, and the soldiers disperse and are ashamed to act. He leads the tired people who are not trained, and controls the clever men who have no plans, and they cannot succeed in a battle and bow their heads to peace, and there is no wonder.

Just like when emperors of all the Song dynasties ascended the throne, they wanted to "work hard to govern and achieve great success... to save the shame of several generations", Song Shenzong Zhao Xu was no exception. Therefore, in the third year of ascension, he decisively appointed Wang Anshi, who had long been famous, and appointed him as the political affairs of the governor, and began to reform and reform to change the current situation of the Northern Song Dynasty's dynasty's elegance and poverty, and realize his desire to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

The so-called enriching the country means developing production, revitalizing the economy, and solving the financial difficulties faced by the country; strengthening the army means changing the passive situation of "redundant expenses" and "redundant soldiers", with a huge army but not strong combat effectiveness, and "thieves attack but cannot resist, and Rongdi plunder but cannot resist."

It was under this situation of reform and strengthening that Wang Shao proposed his three articles of "Pingrong Strategy" to the court, discussing the strategy of Western Xia in detail.

Wang Shao, whose courtesy name is Zichun, is from De'an, Jiangzhou, and is a Jinshi. He is resourceful and well-informed. He was the chief clerk of Xin'an and later joined the army as the manager of the Jianchang Army. He failed the examination system and traveled to Shaanxi and interviewed the customs and customs of the border. He once paid his own expenses to travel around Qinghai, Gansu, and consciously collected and interviewed border affairs, went deep into the barren land of the Qiang people in Xifan, conducted on-site inspections, visited carefully, and analyzed repeatedly.

During his travels, he realized that dealing with Xixia was a long-term and arduous job. After returning to the capital, he used his ideas, opinions, and systems as a strategy. The general idea is:

"There are a group of rebellious boys in Xixia who have been thinking about coming to attack our Qingtang land. If you don't take action first, do you have to wait for him to cause trouble in the future?

Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are basically a group of weak chickens there, and the Qiang tribes are now in a state of division and are not subordinate to each other. It is better to just take advantage of the good opportunity now to split them and defeat them one by one.

Once all the Qiang tribes are solved, the Li family in Hexi will become the thing in my hands. If you want to rub him flat and round, isn’t it just a matter of what the official family said?"

When Song Shenzong Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi looked at it, they thought that this little brother had a good idea. This was a great thing that helped the Song Dynasty. If he really did it, wouldn’t the person named Li in Xixia end up with his body sooner or later?

Then, together, the two appointed Wang Shao as the position of Qinfeng Road Manager Yi Wenzi (equivalent to confidential secretary), and presided over the affairs of opening up the Xihe River. From then on, a literati took charge of military affairs and took on the task of regaining Hehuang.

During the spring and summer of the fourth year of Xining, Wang Shao first recruited and pacified one of the largest Tubo tribes in the Qingtang area. The tribe chief Yu Longke "lead his 120,000 subordinates to his subordinates." Song Shenzong gave him the name Bao Shun, allowing him to defend Minzhou for generations. Under this influence, some of the smaller nearby tribes successively surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty. The territory under the Northern Song Dynasty expanded by 1,200 miles.

The most important thing is that Wang Shao can indeed fight—

In July of the fifth year of Xining, Wang Shao built a city in Weiyuan Fort and Qishenping, and advanced to Mabang Mountain to confront Tubo Mengluojiao, Maer and Shuiba tribes. Wang Shao also acted as a double flower red stick and took the Song soldiers to beat the foreign soldiers together. After beating people, he also burned the other people's tents, which shocked the entire Taoxi.

In the sixth year of Xining, Wang Shao, who had won consecutive battles, entered Kangle Village and Liuchuan Fort, and opened the tribute road. In February, Wang Shao conquered Hezhou in one fell swoop, and in April, he captured Honomuzangcheng and Xiangzicheng. In August, he crossed Lugushan and entered Taozhou in the south.

Finally, after beating Mu Zheng again, Mu Lingzheng, the leader of Minzhou in Tubo, took the initiative to carry the city to return to Song. The Tubo tribes in the three states of Dang, Tao and Die also surrendered one after another.

During this expedition, Wang Shao marched for 54 days, traveled 18,000 miles, pacified the five prefectures, and recruited countless Tubo tribes. From Da'anxiang Pass, the north of Linjiangzhai, Dangzhou, the area was 2,000 miles.

This victory broke to a certain extent the political atmosphere of peace and slackness that permeated the Northern Song Dynasty, and won a great political reputation for the reformists. Wang Shao was also promoted to the left censorship and the bachelor of Duanming Palace.

Due to the success of the Xihe Battle, the Silk Road, which was blocked by the plundering war in Xixia, could also be smooth.

However, all this is useless.

Because Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, was unable to get rid of the vicious circle of the great emperors of the Song Dynasty when they first ascended the throne, and became abolished after a few years.

Wang Shao often accused the sculptors in the court of "using military affairs and spending money repeatedly", and when he was demoted to the magistrate of Hongzhou, he secretly criticized Zhao Xu on his thank-you note. Later, he was simply demoted to the magistrate of Ezhou, and later died of illness in the fourth year of Yuanfeng.

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Zhao Zuo and Xu Xi, the silly, brought more than 20,000 horsemen to the city of Yongle, directly ruined the great situation captured by Wang Shao. Zhao Xu even said that "the army did not dare to use it in the north, but tried it in the west. In the battle of Lingwu, the army was destroyed and the general was ruined by millions. The emperor received the reward at night, got up, walked around the bed, and couldn't sleep all day long."

He even cried bitterly in the current court.

After Song Shenzong died, the one who succeeded Song Zhezong Zhao Xu. After Zhao died of Empress Dowager Gao, he immediately started to play his father's reform strategy and planned to continue to beat Xixia. Moreover, the head coach Wang Zhan was the son of the famous general Wang Shao who was fighting to the death with Tubo.

After another "reform", the Song army, whose combat effectiveness has increased with blood, crossed the Yellow River under the leadership of the famous general Wang Zhan. After three months of bloody battles, they finally completely pacified the Hehuang area and took all the leaders of the local rebellion to the Song Dynasty.

This strategic location that had been lost since the Anshi Rebellion and connected the Silk Road was placed under the direct control of the Song Dynasty. In September of that year, "the prime minister Zhang Dun led all officials to express his congratulations on the recovery of the Qing Tang Dynasty." The Song Dynasty was immersed in the joy of restoring the country.

Such military achievements should have been of great significance to the national destiny of the Northern Song Dynasty: having such a treasure land would be like an arm stuck on the neck of the mortal enemy Xixia. And if the Song Dynasty could seize this strategic opportunity and then patiently operate this "treasure land", it would not only gain huge wealth through the Silk Road, but also "hatch" sufficient cavalry units with the abundant water and grass of Hehuang. The Song Dynasty could also say goodbye to the "poverty and weak" and the "big situation" of rising passionately, theoretically, has been laid in one battle.

But half a year later, in March of the third year of Yuanfu, Song Zhezong, who was determined to reform, died young, and the prime minister Zhang Dun, who supported the war, was dismissed from office. The "frivolous" Song Huizong Zhao Jixiang officially ascended the throne of the Emperor of Song.

Then, Wang Zhan, who was carrying the Song army to fight bloodyly on the front line, suddenly was attacked from behind.

A group of old ministers of the "old party" tried their best to smear the war. General Wang Zhan, who made great contributions to the country, was even charged with a strange crime: "The Qing Tang tribes were resentful and revengeful, and the Japanese were revenge."

This means that Wang Zhan is wrong. The mistake is that he won the war so beautifully. What if these tribes take revenge?

As a result, relying on this strange crime, the monarch and ministers of Song Huizong launched a wave of "counterattack" operations:

The leader of the rebellious tribe captured by Wang Zhan quickly had a delicious meal, and then gave a bunch of high-ranking officials and gave them a gift.

The territory of Hehuang that the Song army recovered in blood? Retreat it back quickly!

General Wang Zhan, who made contributions to the country, was sent to Hainan Island in one go!

General Wang Zhan, who was deeply sad and angry, was unwilling to be humiliated after being taken to Dengzhou, Henan, and even committed suicide angrily to prove his innocence.

Then the land that the father and son captured was killed by their lives, and I gave it back to me.

Ironically, General Wang Zhan had just committed suicide, and the "rebellious tribe leaders" who were delicious and then put back to Hehuang, then pulled the flag and rebelled, and slapped the Song Dynasty and Zhao Jixiang in the face.

With such awesome emperor, Zhao Huan said that he had been used to being cheated.

But those who should draw Xixia still have to draw Xixia.

This is like a child who is disobedient and always makes trouble. He has to beat him when he should. He cannot spoil his children's bad habits, otherwise he will spoil his child.

Didn’t that person say that he is like killing a child?

As the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan was naturally the father of the whole world, so he had the responsibility to teach these disobedient naughty children a lesson.

...

Just as Zhao Huan was thinking about these messy things, Zhong Shidao also read the information about Zhenwei City, and then handed it back to Wuxin, saying in a deep voice: "Xixia will suddenly send troops at this time, I am afraid it will have nothing to do with Wanyan Zonghan."

Yang Zaixing, who was standing next to Master Zhong, raised his head in surprise and said suspiciously: "Wanyan Zonghan? Wanyan Zonghan's head is still on Jingguan. Could it be that he was sending a dream to the king of Xixia to persuade Xixia to send troops?"

"The lips are gone and the teeth are cold."

Zhong Shidao said with a gloomy face: "Of course, Wanyan Zonghan could not give a dream to the king of Xixia, but Wanyan Zonghan could send people to Xixia when he retreated to Datong. As long as he informed Xixia of the Jin soldiers' defeat, Xixia would send troops to support Wanyan Zonghan even for self-protection."

Zhao Huan also said, "Wanyan Zonghan's plan is indeed very good, and inviting Xixia to send troops together is indeed a good plan. However, Wanyan Zonghan himself probably did not expect that he could not defend Datong."

After saying that, Zhao Huan continued to ask: "What should Xixia do with the view of his beloved minister?"

"The official family intends to wipe out the eight deserts and six unions, so how could he let Xixia go?"

Zhong Shidao pondered and said, "It's just that Wanyan Zongbi is still outside Zhending Mansion. If Wanyan Zongwang's troops do not have any accidents, they should also flee to Zhending Mansion to return north. If the official family moved to Xixia at this time, the Zhending Mansion..."

"Or what if I go to Zhending Mansion?"

Yang Zaixing shouted eagerly: "If you get three thousand light cavalry, you will definitely capture Wanyan's son alive! Or can you let me go to Xixia?"

"What are you anxious about?"

Mr. Zhong turned his head and shouted, "How to fight depends on how the official family decides. What are you anxious about?"

ps: I didn't pay attention to the time when I wrote again today... I cried to death. I used "The White-Headed Demon Master" to sacrifice to the sky to comfort the injured soul.
