389 Attack on the court
What is the combat strength of this legendary new army, the Xihe Road Forbidden Army quickly saw it, and then everyone was full of respect for the tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers of the Gansu Military Division and the Baimaqiang Town Military Division.
can fight to the death in the face of such an unreasonable style of play, and it is indeed worthy of the title of the elite of Western Xia. But the respect didn't last long, seeing rows of colleagues being shot down, blown up, and burned into fireballs, most of the forbidden troops behind all chose to turn their horses and flee in all directions.
It's not that the Great Song Forbidden Army was not as brave as the Western Xia Army, but that this kind of life-and-death fight is really unnecessary. The reason is simply because of the goods in the 100 box trucks, no matter how delicious those cans are and how good the steel crossbows are, there is no need to fight for their lives, it is too stupid to die for these things.
It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and the corpses of people and horses were covered outside the south gate of Jisang City, and there were still those who were not dead calling for help.
But no one would come to save them, and after the new army of Huangzhou threw a wave of canisters and thunderbolts on the city, they sent people to rummage through the pile of corpses, and those who did not die made up for them, and those who died carefully examined their armor.
They were looking for Li Zhong, the banner was the most attacked, dozens of siege crossbows almost beckoned to its vicinity, and they also blocked the drawbridge with fire oil bombs, just not wanting to let the big flag and the people near the big flag return to the city.
To say that Li Zhong's life was really big, he was not shot or blown up under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, but was pressed by a dead horse in his right leg and buried in the pile of corpses and survived.
When the New Army soldiers found him, they stabbed him with a knife, but fortunately, the New Army's armor was strong enough to slide the tip of the knife away. Then the soldier of the new army was furious, and he didn't care how many ranks the general in the mountain armor was higher than himself, and when it came to the marching shovel, it was a slap. Of course, I didn't use a spade blade, flat shot.
When Hong Tao saw Li Zhong, he had already been beaten into a pig's head, not only by a soldier of the New Army, but also by anyone who saw him. No one likes him, let alone pity him. If he hadn't caused trouble, everyone would still be eating barbecue on the coal stove in Liangzhou City.
Even if you are tired of eating beef and mutton, it is more comfortable than sleeping in the open and running so far to play your life. Although it was a bit cruel to shoot the forbidden soldiers, who were also Song people, the new army did not blame Lord Shuaisi. These supplies are the lifeblood of the new army, if Lord Shuai endures it, then everyone will have to starve, why!
"Let the people in the city send out the box trucks one by one, otherwise the official will slaughter the city. Crown, you go to count the goods, and if you have one less piece, you will compensate them according to ten cents, and if you can't afford to lose it, you will still slaughter the city, and you won't leave a single one! ”
Hong Tao didn't care too much about Li Zhong's life or death, it was better to have a tone, take him back and hand him over to Wang Er, and it wouldn't take half a day to confess.
As long as he is willing, he can say that the Empress Dowager Liang is the eldest cousin, and he has to admit that he lurked in the Great Song Dynasty according to the meaning of the eldest cousin, and wanted to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor.
Of course, Hong Tao will not make up this kind of nonsense that is too tasteless, he only needs to tell the story as it is, without adding a word. Catch a few more soldiers stationed in Jisang City, and even bring a confession to let Wang Guan take him back to Lanzhou by the way, and hand it over to the Yamen of the Lanzhou Economic Envoy, who likes to be tried.
What should I do when I return to Liangzhou, as long as the emperor does not issue the holy decree to remove him, there will be no. If the emperor really removes himself because of this matter, then even if he endures it, he will not stay for long. That can only mean that the emperor has lost the struggle for power with the courtiers, and he no longer needs himself as a crosser.
If the successful attack on Liangzhou by the horses was regarded as throwing a stone on a calm water, then the skirmish in Jisang City, which was not large in scale and had few casualties, was a meteor, which instantly caused a chain reaction in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The first to attack was Chong'e, he also left the front line of Yanyan Road, not only him, except for Hong Tao and the dead Dong Yu, the rest of the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the four roads returned to Kaifeng.
It is very difficult to fight on the plateau in winter, not only against the Song army, but also in the Western Xia, and now it is a period of peace talks, and everyone is not concerned about the situation of the war, but the results of the peace talks.
These generals should also hurry back to the central authorities to fight for their own merits, and whoever is not present will be easily sacrificed, and this is a lesson of history.
He has no likes or dislikes for the horse Wang Xu, because he has never seen this person, he has never seen it before he is crazy, and he still hasn't seen it after he is crazy. But this does not affect him from looking at the problem from the perspective of the family, the family is the country and the country, and the family must be in front of the country.
Once you have a position, right and wrong and reason don't matter, even if Chongkai is a traitor, it will not be the turn of the king of horses, which is challenging the prestige of the breeder, and at the same time harming the interests of the breeder.
Li Zhong did make a mistake in the matter of robbing the new army's military rations, but Li Zhong was not under the control of the Huangzhou army, and even if he was wrong, he had to go through formal channels to report to the imperial court, and how to deal with it was the right of the imperial court and the emperor.
This precedent cannot be set, otherwise it will add a lot of trouble to the generals who will command the troops in the future. The forbidden army is not alone in snatching food and grass from each other, this kind of thing often happens, and it is often a warning from the strong to the weak. If they are like horses and shouting and killing at every turn, this kind of welfare belonging to the military strong is equivalent to being deprived.
As for whether this will harm the army and the country, or that sentence, as long as it is beneficial to the family, everyone will not think about the country first.
Whoever is in power must also reuse these families, in other words, it is not only the emperor of the Song Dynasty who can give glory to these families, it is the same for a change of ruler, and the concept of the state is still very vague.
"The king of the horses is reckless in the northwest, and regards the laws of the Great Song Dynasty as nothing, which will affect the morale of the border army in the long run, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." No matter how dirty the reason is, it must be very serious and justifiable when it is spoken, and this point is taught by Chinese and foreign politicians by the same master.
"The minister thinks that the horse has a small record, but he can act recklessly, and it is not appropriate to stay at the border for a long time. However, the horses and soldiers are superior in armor and sharp weapons, and it is not bad to make the best use of their supervision and control. ”
With the beginning of the beginning, Li Xian, who has never expressed his position, can finally make a move. Li Zhong's life was fine, but his legs were broken several times, and even if he was cured, he would be a wasted person.
The godson or apprentice who he had worked so hard to cultivate was scrapped because of dozens of truckloads of ordnance and canned food, and he really couldn't swallow this breath. At the same time, Li Xian also realized that the feud between himself and the horse was dead, and there was basically no room for recovery. So no matter whose fault it was in the first place, you must keep the colt down and not let him grow bigger, then you should be unlucky.
However, Li Xian felt that it was not realistic to demote the horse with outstanding military achievements to Beijing at one time, so it was better to retreat and first transfer him out of the northwest border pass, get rid of an eye-catching and troublesome nail, and then slowly ponder how to retaliate.
As long as the horse loses its military power and has no fixed power, it is not a matter of pinching it as much as it wants. Not only did he offend the military bosses, but there was also no shortage of friction between the Wenchen clique in the DPRK. Those literati are in the shadows, and they are ruthless one by one.
"What Lord Li said is a solution, the concubine Wang Shu and his little daughter have not met yet, presumably the eldest princess will miss it day and night, it is better to ......" Seeing that Emperor Shenzong still didn't speak, Wang Anshi was a little impatient.
He himself is not a particularly patient master, so he simply stood up and went into battle shirtless, but his words were more subtle, and it sounded like he was going to belittle the colt, which was completely the concern of the elders.
"It's better to depose one of the most capable generals in this dynasty, right? Wang Xu's actions are above board, what is Li Zhong? An internal official dared to rob the soldiers on the front line of military rations, but did he not know that without these military rations, the new army in Huangzhou would not be able to spend the winter in Liangzhou? Li Xian, you come to tell me what the winter in Liangzhou is like, and let the adults and the king listen to it, so that they don't listen to it and believe it......"
Emperor Shenzong's health has improved in the past two years, and he is no longer tired all day long. This is partly due to the exercise of the Flying Eagle Play, which is really good for the body when you play for a while every day.
