Wang Hou's attitude was unclear, but Western Xia was indeed unable to fight anymore. The new army marched for two days, and was stunned to see no regular troops. There were quite a few herdsmen, but they did not pack up their tents and drive their cattle and sheep to hide as early as before, and most of them sent their leaders to kneel down with gold and silver to show their submission.

It's not that they don't want to run, it's that they have nowhere to run, and they can't run. The rebels slaughtered him, and none of them remained, which was the side effect of the battle of Yingli City. The elders of the clan have lived much longer, and have passed down their life experiences from generation to generation.

In the face of a wolf-like foreign army, it's not that he hasn't resisted, the good men in the family are almost gone, and if he can't fight, it's really no way, and giving in is the true meaning of life.

"You don't need to drive it, just form a team and take it with you. Their backbones are about to break, and then watching and helping the new army to knock down Xingqing Mansion with their own eyes and hands is the last hammer to break the bones, and it will not grow up in a hundred years. ”

This situation can be seen without Jiang Erlang's report to Hong Tao himself, it is said that the war should not be tossed by the common people anymore, even if they are still secretly helping to provide soldiers and grain and grass for the Xixia people, Xingqing Mansion will not be able to hold on for a day and a half.

But this is a national war, not a counterattack that will be done if it is repulsed. If you want to conquer a piece of land, it is useless to attack the city, and it is useless to kill all the royal family, the key is to dig out the roots of the locals and drain all the breath in their hearts.

The people are the foundation of the country, they have no thoughts, and the remaining nobles can stay in the place of thinking no matter what they think, and this is the basis for change and assimilation. As for how long it can last, it depends on the ability of the later rulers, and it has nothing to do with themselves.

There were more than 200 miles left, and the 15,000 new army became more than 70,000, and Zhao Fu and Wang Hou's 5,000 forbidden army had something to do this time, and they were divided into dozens of capitals, each staring at thousands of Xixia herdsmen, and rushed to Xingqing Mansion like a flock of sheep.

The military villages and garrisons encountered along the way did not need to be attacked at all, and when they saw this posture, they were frightened, and most of them couldn't even raise the courage to run, so they surrendered their cities and joined the ranks of the attached army.

It's over if you surrender yourself, no, these people will try their best to persuade their clansmen and relatives to surrender together, if someone doesn't comply, they will be even angrier and hate than the new army, and the eight generations of ancestors will have to scold out.

"See, it's called blind obedience. Once the majority has made a choice, even if it is wrong, even if a few people have doubts, they cannot tell clearly. Either it's wrong with it, or it's drowned out. ”

Hong Tao finally tasted the taste of commanding an army of more than 100,000 people, and it was enjoyable, with a wave of his hand, there were overwhelming people to obey orders. This feeling is very easy for people to float up, and they can't figure out how many pounds and taels they have, as if the world is their own.

He doesn't feel that way, and even if the herders don't need to provide for themselves, it's a potential threat. Not only can't you have it, but you also have to talk to Wang Da and them to understand that young people are more likely to be hot-blooded, and if they are impulsive, they will do bad things.

"Whether you follow blindly or not, the law of adults is essential!" Jiang Erlang is a little dizzy, when did he lead so many people who bow down to him, and he takes the forward group to row around all day long, for fear that the team is not large enough.

"Adults can see it thoroughly...... Xiao Wuna is not only not happy, but also full of sadness.

Attacking Western Xia is a set goal, and it was set before coming, but there is another goal, that is, Liao. When I thought that my people would become like this, I couldn't be happy, but I had a kind of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died.

"This battle is heavy for the heart, and the harder they fight, the more peaceful they will be!" Wang Da is still as professional as ever, not thinking about extraneous matters, only caring about the outcome of the war.

"King Liang's methods are too tough, I'm afraid it will go against heaven and ......" Wang Hou must be the most radical if he is placed among other Song Dynasty generals, but he must be the most conservative one here, and he can't say anything new.

"It's the same as the captives of the Engineers, who are more vicious than the Forces nouvelles in managing their own people." Wang Qi should be regarded as the one who has the most contact with the captives, and he feels the deepest.

"The people's hearts are available...... Uncle can I crack it? Zhao Maid is neither conservative nor radical, he is getting into the role more and more, all he thinks about is how to be an emperor, and his position on considering problems has involuntarily changed.

"It's easy to say it's easy to crack, it's hard to say it's hard to say, two words, education. If they were all as educated as the students in the academy, would they still be so blindly obedient? I dare not say no, but the number will be much less. ”

Hong Tao has no opinion on the change of Zhao Maid, he loves one line of work, and if he wants to be an emperor, of course, he has to ponder the skills of being an emperor all day long, and he can't mess around.

"That's right, if it wasn't for my father and the emperor to let this king worship under his uncle's door, I wouldn't know so many principles of governing the country. In the future, this king will learn from his uncle and build a college on every road, so that everyone in the world can go in and be educated, and not give them the opportunity to blindly obey others! ”

This sentence is said to Zhao Maid's heart, he thinks that as long as there are more children's groups and more Yangtze River colleges, the Great Song Dynasty will naturally be peaceful and peaceful, and there will not be so many people who oppose the policies he advocates. No longer have to be like my father, every day in the court because of disagreement, I can't help but sigh because of disagreement.

"That's a good feeling, then this king will go to be the principal, and also enjoy the taste of peach and plum in the world." Looking at Zhao Maid's excited face, Hong Tao didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

He thinks that governing the country is too easy and too simple, and he is afraid that he will be more easily discouraged once he encounters great resistance. But there is no way to say this, Zhao Maid is no longer a child, nor is he a young man, he is an adult, and he can't talk in his ears all day long when he treats adults, they annoy this.

"Didn't my uncle say that he wanted to turn the countries in the east and west into the land of the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, the king will build a new army of 100,000 men, which will be commanded by his uncle and his eldest sister, and he will take them all back, so that they can also be educated, and there will be no more wars. Just as he was talking about Xingtou, Zhao Maid was already a little unable to hold back, and began to imagine his country and the world.

“…… Hum! Wang Da didn't seem to like to listen to Zhao Maid's dreams very much, glanced at Hong Tao, and finally couldn't hold back the ridicule, but he couldn't hold back the unhappiness on his face.

"Okay, let's talk about the future later, if you don't finish it, there will be no future in front of you, go and ask what's going on in front." This topic could not be talked about any longer, and Hong Tao did not want to promise anything, and the war was the top priority. I saw dust and smoke billowing in the distance, as if there was a fast horse galloping.

"It's the envoys of Western Xia who came to beg for surrender...... Jiang Erlang is the head of the forward regiment, and the people who came are also his subordinates, and after some exchanges, he returned to the Chinese army with a roll.

"Begging ...... Ha, this is the first time that this king has heard that the will of the imperial court is to be conveyed by the hands of the enemy, this must be a fake, a vain attempt to confuse the public, and there is a sinister intention to provoke the relationship between my monarch and ministers, what do the kings of Qi and the kings think? ”

Hong Tao opened the silk scroll and was stunned. This thing is not the surrender edict of the Tangut people, but the peace decree of the Great Song court. It's really shameless to get home, no matter how anxious you are, you can't let the enemy send orders to your own army, and you can tell who is the enemy and who is your own people!

It must be impossible to fool oneself with such a scroll of decrees. How shameless you are, we have to be even more shameless. Without hesitation, he made a judgment and handed the holy decree to Zhao Maid.

"What my uncle said is very true, how can it be reasonable, dare to trick me when he is dying!" Although Zhao Maid is not the ideal emperor billet in Hong Tao's mind, he is more than enough than the top, and with his shameless basic skills, he has his own style back then.

"I think I was sick and rushed to the doctor...... I don't know who it is? ”

Wang Hou was very entangled with the holy decree, the holy decree must be true, this thing can only be made in the palace from the material to the pattern, not to mention the imitation of the Western Xia people, and the Great Song Dynasty people can't make it.

But in any case, it is too unbelievable for the enemy to pass on the imperial decree, and it is easy to judge whether it is true or false or whether it is seen or not, and it seems that it is not appropriate to say that it is false directly.

"In order to maintain the face of the dynasty and the official family, this king thinks that it is better not to see it, and if this matter is spread, it will definitely become a strange talk for the ages. Erlang sent someone to send the envoy to Yingli City and handed it over to Fifty-six. Since the people of the Western Xia have not yet repented, then the king is not polite, and they must be allowed to see my Chaotianwei! Boss, blow the trumpet and prepare for the siege! ”
