Chapter 385: Going Home

The Battle of Fulin Road also came to an end.

Yuan Hao had received the news of Yeli's defeat and was so angry that he scolded his mother.

However, when the Battle of Fulin Road reached the critical time, he could only write a letter to reprimand Yeli Yuqi, but he did not expect that the Song Dynasty's three roads to appease the Jinglu were so bold that he actually took the initiative to invade the territory of Western Xia.

Timid, only Fan Zhongyan is timid, Han Qi is more bold than Zheng Lang, even Fan Zhongyan, but the military concept is different, and he is a coward?

Then he got the news of the loss of the reward mouth, but Zhang Kang began to take the initiative to lead the army out of Jianning Village.

Yuan Hao was depressed to death.

Now it's too late to lead the army back, Weizhou City will inevitably be lost, so he ordered Yanzhou and Lingzhou to guard it for me, if the Song army comes, it is best to drag them down, at this time he has plans to withdraw the army. Not only did he withdraw his troops, but he also wanted to eat the three roads on the Yinchuan Plain.

So the anger was sprinkled on Zhang Kang's body.

Zhang Kang's army arrived at the Tumao River, and it was the Tumao River again!

But Fuzhou is the only way to Linzhou.

Yuan Hao personally led tens of thousands of troops to kill him, so the humiliation began again.

Many descendants praised Yuan Hao as a great military strategist, and Zheng Lang disagreed.

This man is not a military strategist, just a lucky and shameless bandit.

Pinghu Shazhou, Shazhou Han civil strife, Uighur division, let him succeed. In the two expeditions to Tibet, 100,000 horses were lost, and they almost lost without even pants. Then the civil strife in Tibet began again, allowing him to pick up the cheap. Invaded the Song Dynasty, Haoshuichuan Sanchuankou had so many superior forces, only one disastrous victory was obtained, and Fulin Road was disgraced and thrown to the American continent. Dingchuan is not counted, if the Song army is a sheep with a group of lions, Dingchuan is a pig with a group of sheep. Without Li Yuanhao, if you replace Han Qi, you will also kill Ge Huaimin to the point of losing his armor. In the battle with the Khitans, Liao Xingzong was a good baby, and he was a robber to blackmail the Song Dynasty, and he was so cute. That's it, and it was a difficult victory thanks to a strong wind.

If the Song Dynasty was not led by a group of literati, and Zhang Kang, Lao Chong, and Di Qing were in charge of the three roads, Yuan Hao would have died, and these three people could be played to death.

It was not the Song army that he won, but the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty.

So this time he lost this huge loophole, allowing Zheng Lang to use historical memory to magnify it into a huge black hole.

The two managers went head-to-head.

This is a very unequal war, in terms of fame, Yuan Hao is famous at home and abroad, what is Zhang Kang? A scholar. The Song Dynasty army had only more than 3,000 people, and most of them were infantry. There were more than 30,000 people in Western Xia, and all of them were the main cavalry of Western Xia. The terrain is on the flat Tumao River, which is more conducive to cavalry impact.

The war began.

Zhang Kang made some arrangements, first let Zhang Yu lead a part of the strong crossbowmen to ambush behind the low mountain north of the Tumao River, and his subordinate Wansheng Army and the Tiger Wing Army exchanged battle flags.

Wanshengjun is a forbidden army of the imperial court, and most of them are scoundrels recruited by the Beijing Division, and it is okay to be a city manager and smash a small businessman and a small vegetable farmer, but you must not let them go to Diaoyu Island, then they will have bad vegetables. The combat effectiveness of this forbidden army was very poor, and the Western Xia people called it the Eastern Army in the name of it, and despised the Song Army, which meant similar to the sick man of the East. The composition of the other army is very complicated, there are border people, there are children of the Broken Family, and there are people from other places, but it is this Tiger Wing Army with a complex composition that has always been very strong in the battle of Fulin Road.

After the arrangement, Zhang Kang stood in the Tiger Wing Army to command, Yuan Hao arrived, saw the Song Army standing firm, looked at the flag, didn't think about it, and rushed towards the Tiger Wing Army.

Thinking that it was the Wansheng army that was attacking, it was easier to gnaw, as long as the Wansheng army was defeated and the Wansheng army collapsed, it would inevitably be defeated and retreated with the Tiger Wing Army, and this battle would annihilate the Song army.

Several attacks, but by the Tiger Wing Army's stubborn counterattack, gnawed a few times did not gnaw, morale began to low, Zhang Kang showed his banner, Zhang Qi led the ambush army from the back of the mountain to kill, while constantly radiating crossbow arrows.

The stubbornness of the Tangut people was exposed again, Zhang Yu attacked the flank of the Tangut, lacking protection, batches of crossbow arrows were shot, many soldiers fell, and some soldiers fled to the middle on the flank, and the formation of the entire army of the Tangut was chaotic.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Kang grabbed the fighter and shouted, "Kill." ”

Thousands of Song troops bravely killed the past.

The Western Xia army was in chaos, coupled with the impact of Zhang Kang's two armies, no matter how Yuan Hao tried to stop it, many troops began to flee.

Rabbit Maochuan began to stage a bizarre story again.

The main cavalry of more than 30,000 Western Xia, or led by the Western Xia Emperor himself, was chased by more than 3,000 Song Dynasty infantry and fled, not only defeated, but also let the Song army hack thousands of people to death.

Yuan Hao was beaten into a nerd by Zhang Kang.

fled back, stunned, is this still Song Jun? How do you feel more powerful than the Tang Dynasty army.

Zhang Kang fought steadily, step by step, and began to repair the village, Qingzhai, Baisheng, Zhongwei, Jianning, Zhenchuan, step by step, approaching Linzhou City, and at the same time always be vigilant, ready to replicate the Battle of Tumaochuan again.

Yuan Hao's army was not far away, but seeing him slowly building the village, he didn't dare to move. The situation can be modeled on the fierce Chen Qingzhi during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, 7,000 Han soldiers retreated, 200,000 Hu people did not dare to come up behind, there were no 200,000 horses in Western Xia, and Zhang Kang was only one and a half of Chen Qing's troops.

The Tanguts withdrew.

Zhang Kang beat Yuan Hao stupidly, and there were three other factors. Gao Jixuan finally returned to Taiyuan, and the court investigated, but the details have not yet been found, and half of what Zheng Lang said has been confirmed. So Yang Kai was demoted to Cangzhou as a governor.

Yang Kai was not convinced, as in history, he kept playing and twisting, making suggestions to the imperial court and talking about strategy.

What are you doing, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, Pang Ji and others went to Shaanxi, so many military and political events, and they have not written a few memorials, Zheng Lang is even less, there is no memorabilia for an average month, if it is not for the prince's business, there are even fewer memorials, maybe when the fight is finished, I will pack it up and summarize it with a memo.

The intention is very simple, he can't let Zhao Zhen forget him, but whether he can achieve the effect this time is not easy to say.

Gao Jixuan arrived in Taiyuan at the end of winter, and finally everything was on the right track, and he began to prepare for the army.

Seeing Gao Jixuan's return to Taiyuan, the people of Linfu Road had hope, and the officials and monks who fled to Hedong came to Taiyuan one by one to ask Gao Jixuan to send troops to help. Gao Jixuan summoned him, gave a promise, and gave tea to comfort. The imperial court also put Li Xing as the patrol envoy of the edge of the Linfu road, this person turned out to be a regimental training envoy of Western Xia, and also a brave general, belonging to the pro-Song faction, did not agree with Yuan Hao's practice of being the emperor, so he defected to the Song Dynasty. The reinstatement of the surrender of the Western Xia official Ma Ya, the leader of the Western Realm Lawang, and the leader of Tanglong Town came to Shoushun and inspected the Luo, although the Xiehao thief crossed the border, but he was able to stand up and return to himself, conferring the degree of moderation, observing the history of the assassination, and still giving it with a brocade robe.

It is difficult to say whether this edict is good or bad, and it is invisibly equivalent to encouraging Zhufan to surrender to Western Xia in the future, anyway, as long as he returns to obedience, he is not guilty but meritorious, but at this time, it can play a role in differentiation.

Yuan Hao also heard these news in the army.

Fatal is also Linzhou, Miao Jixuan and Wang Kai saw that something was wrong with the Western Xia people in the city, and Miao Jixuan thought of a way.

Yuan Hao was sitting in the tent in a daze, sometimes looking at Linzhou City, wondering, why could he hold on for so many days, this day he walked out of the tent, and was looking again, as long as Linzhou City was won, the situation would be reversed immediately.

Then I saw one thing, the people of the Song Dynasty were very busy, a large group of people were picking up things to the city, building fortifications, and pouring buckets of things on the city while repairing. That's wet mud!

Seeing the mud dripping down drop by drop, Yuan Hao seemed to hear a thunderbolt on a sunny day and was hit by thunder.

Where is the fierce thunder.

Arrest that traitor and ask, didn't you say that there is no water in the city of Linzhou? For only three days, there will not be a drop of drinking water in the city. But now, after holding on for more than a month, the people in the city actually play with water and mud!

He ordered the traitor to be beheaded and displayed to the public, and in discouragement, he led his army to retreat.

It has something to do with Zheng Lang, it doesn't have much to do with it, Yuan Hao has already planned to sit back and watch the loss of Weizhou City and Mingsha City, and even deliberately delayed to induce Zheng Lang to lead the army deep into Lingzhou. However, Zheng Lang was not fooled, and Yuan Hao had no choice but to sigh.

Pang Ji came to the spirit, and it can only be said that one is better than the other.

He was even more sitting and watching, if Zheng Lang won, he would attack, and if he was not victorious, he kept the army still, so he prepared the army and never sent troops. Shimenchuan was victorious, Zheng Lang sent troops to conquer Weizhou, and Yuan Hao's troops retreated, so he immediately sent troops to Hengshanzhai and swept more than a dozen small villages in a row.

But at this time, I also regretted a little in my heart, although I participated, I didn't even get a soup to drink, and only drank a soup residue. On the contrary, Zheng Lang made meritorious contributions, Fan Zhongyan participated, Han Qi participated, Fulin Road is so strong, it seems that only his own road is not bright!

In a fit of rage, all the broken stockades were slaughtered.

……

Yeli Yu was vomiting blood, and there were 3,000 captives, all of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, and some of them were missing arms and legs.

What do we want these prisoners of war for?

was so angry that he shouted at the old seed: "You Song people deceive people too much!" ”

"You say they're not you Tanguts? Not you Western Xia warriors? For whom are they hurt? The old man asked calmly.

"You, you ......"

Chang Mingde made a gesture on the side, step by step.

Not to return the captives, but to you and you Tanguts under the steps.

Ye Liyu was so angry that he was silent.

The old man said calmly: "I am heading south towards the main army of more than 50,000 from the Xiangqian Pass, do you want to go around to Tiandu Mountain?" ”

Threats, naked threats!

Yang Wenguang shook his head, you have to have the consciousness of making fish and meat, why are you not sober when you lose to this point?

There is no need to threaten, the threat has arrived, Zheng Lang estimated that Yeli Yuqi would also go crazy after seeing these prisoners of war, so he sent Di Qing to lead 7,000 iron horsemen, from the Manyikou, that is, the path at the Shengqiang Village built by the Song Dynasty to Tiandu Mountain, to help its might.

Yuan Hao's mind is sometimes very unclear, it is a miracle that he can survive the country, take a look, he tried his best to pick back the Hu, Tubo and Song Dynasty, and finally even the Khitan dared to choose. Zheng Lang was really worried that Yuan Hao would lose his mind and go crazy.

The exchange was completed, and the Tangut people had a step down, and everyone was at peace for the time being, and then came again.

Don't fight, but grind Yuan Hao to death step by step.

Three thousand captives were given to the steps which were secondary, mainly forced out.

The war was very cruel, the mutilation often occurred, the Tangut people were defeated twice, the disabled could not run, and could only be taken prisoner, especially the gunpowder explosion, which made many Tangut soldiers explode into cripples.

In order to have sufficient troops to prepare for war, Yeli Yuqi recruited fiercely for the second time, and some old and sick people were also recruited, these people had no fighting spirit at all, and they were also one of the main members of the captives.

Since the policy of not killing prisoners is pursued, these old, weak, sick and disabled people cannot be killed. And yet what to do in the rear? Spend a lot of money a year to support? It's not bad not to kill prisoners, and then to support these old, weak, sick and disabled, Zheng Lang's head is not bad.

So I gave it back to Xixia.

There is also a role that Yeli Yu beggar did not think of for the time being. There were hundreds of prisoners of war in the middle who were deliberately selected from the rear, and they saw the ethnic policy of Jingyuan Road with their own eyes, and after returning to the territory of Western Xia, they would unintentionally propagate for the Song Dynasty.

Yuan Hao would send troops to prevent the defection of various tribes to the Song Dynasty, but if they could forcibly prevent it, there would inevitably be a deterioration in the territory of Western Xia. It is still a war, but a war without gunpowder smoke is no less effective than a confrontation between two armies.

Seeing the arrival of 7,000 Song Dynasty cavalry, Yeli Yuqi finally agreed to the exchange in frustration.

Even if he didn't come, Li Ningming really didn't want it?

The two armies met in Wuyan Qianzhai, Zheng Lang looked at these prisoners of war, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome home." ”

Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun, Li Shibin, and more than 200 soldiers wept silently at the same time.

Zheng Lang screamed a fluke in his heart.

It seems that later Liu Ping saw that there was no hope of going home, so he took a wife and had children in Western Xia, which was a man's physiological need, and Su Wu also married a Xiongnu shepherd girl, but it was possible to make many articles in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Xin would be the first to find Liu Ping to settle the accounts after the autumn.

And he once tried his best to protect Liu Ping, and then he would also provoke an innocent person.

Fortunately, Liu Ping did not marry a wife for the time being, so this trouble was avoided.

I don't know, but after inquiry, I found out who Liu Ping was, who was Shi Yuansun, and who was Li Shibin.

stepped forward and gave a salute and said, "I've seen Mrs. Liu." ”

Liu Ping fell to the ground and cried at Dongfanghao: "Your Majesty, the minister deserves death." ”

The other soldiers followed suit and began to cry.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to let them vent, especially Li Shibin, who slapped himself vigorously.

At the beginning, Zheng Lang did not have a good impression of Li Shibin, Sanchuankou was defeated, Jinming 36 villages were lost, Li Shibin's arrogance and Fan Yong's mediocrity were the two main responsible persons. Later, he learned that he was greedy for the treasure of the mountain and became the fuse for the tragic death of the mountain and Weiliang, and he did not have a good impression. Considering his prestige and appeal among the Qiang people, he was named and ransomed.

At this time, seeing that his face was swollen, there was some pity in his heart. Although he made a mistake, this man had no doubts about his loyalty to the Song Dynasty.

Almost crying, Zheng Lang said, "Go back." ”

Liu Ping stood up and saluted Zheng Lang. Along the way, I heard Di Qing tell the story of Zheng Lang, and I also knew that Zheng Lang used the prince of Western Xia to exchange them for coming back.

Equated himself with the prince of Western Xia, and his heart was very moved.

Zheng Lang didn't want to explain, these people were loyal and brave to the Song Dynasty, but their military talents, including Liu Ping, were not very good. In the First Battle of Sanchuankou, the two deputy generals with good military talent, Guo Zun and Wang Xin, who sacrificed.

All the way south.

came back in time, Yuan Hao decided to retreat, so the soldiers were quick and wanted to snipe Zheng Lang's army halfway. rushed all the way to the front of Zhenrong Village, Zheng Lang had already escorted the prisoners to the rear. Yuan Hao didn't dare to chase any further, turned his head, besieged Gaoping Village, and killed dozens of people with random arrows on the village, and returned in disgrace.

The war between the two countries finally ended in the first year of Qingli, but the robbers came.

……

The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought fiercely, and the Khitan was overjoyed to see it on the side.

The Tangut people have already got some benefits, the Xixia people are short of materials, so they have to sell the cattle, horses and alpacas to the Khitan people cheaply, the Khitan people will leave the war horses, and the cattle and sheep will be sold to the Song people.

Zheng Lang proposed that the Song Dynasty sent some spies to infiltrate the Khitan border and spread the cause of Princess Xingping's death, how she died, Zheng Lang didn't know very well, some people said that Princess Xingping was Li Yuanhao's dislike and died of worry, and some people said that Princess Xingping bumped into Li Yuanhao's dove mother and let Li Yuanhao kill her.

Zheng Lang did not use the former statement, but adopted the latter version, saying that Princess Xingping saw Li Yuanhao in the dove mother, and went up to dissuade him with righteousness, Li Yuanhao was angry and killed Princess Xingping. deliberately created a great image for Princess Xingping to contrast Princess Xingping's unjust death.

The statement may not be correct, but Princess Xingping's death is very abnormal.

The rumor soon spread in the Khitan territory, Liao Xingzong was very displeased, and Yuan Hao happened to be on Fulin Road, and sent an envoy to ask again.

Yuan Hao insisted that he died of illness, and at that time he was stuck in the quagmire, and apologized with a low courtesy, and offered a group of Song Dynasty prisoners of war and a large number of cattle and sheep to the Khitan. Persuade the Khitan to take the opportunity to send troops to take back the ten counties in Guannan. Yuan Hao's gift Liao Xingzong didn't take a fancy to it, it was too poor, this group of Western Xia people.

But when he heard that the Song Dynasty had repeatedly defeated Yuan Hao, he moved his mind.

What crusade has been repeatedly defeated? The Song Dynasty was not called a crusade at all, although the Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan were defeated, they were still glorious, and the Fulin Road was a great victory, and hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops came with great momentum, including the grain team, there were only 20,000 Song troops, which were 20,000 Song troops, and at least killed more than 30,000 Western Xia soldiers. The real fiasco was in the later battle, Dingchuan.

But the Khitans were happy, and they didn't send scouts to inquire carefully, anyway, they heard that Haoshuichuan and Sanchuankou were defeated, Fengzhou fell, and Liao Xingzong thought that the opportunity had come.

So Zheng Lang said that he was a good baby.

Although the Song Dynasty is soft, it is also a behemoth, and if you want to send troops, you must at least ask clearly. Without asking clearly, he summoned his ministers to deliberate. Ge Huaimin of the Khitan, Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, stood up. The Song Dynasty Sanchuan was very sad, and the battle of the Khitan River was also very sad.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty listened to Ge Huaimin's boastful words, well, this person is good, it is the second Cao Wei.

Xiao Hui is also famous, Liao Shengzong attacked the Goryeo army, and his people governed the army strictly, and followed Liao Shengzong to break the Goryeo army in Nuguda Beiling. But don't be mistaken, it was not a battle commanded by Xiao Hui, but a battle commanded by Liao Shengzong himself, which did not represent Xiao Hui's ability. Later, Xiao Hui personally commanded a campaign, and was ordered to conquer the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and fought with the Ob army at the city of Kedun, where he was defeated. The Khitan still didn't realize that he was just a showman, and continued to think that he was quite talented in military affairs, plus he was born in a famous family, and he was the fifth grandson of Agu, the younger brother of Empress Qin, and many people advocated for him, and the officials became bigger and bigger over the years.

How similar it is to Ge Huaimin.

I am a capable person, how can I be afraid of the Song Dynasty, and said loudly: "The Song people have been marching west for several years, and the veterans of the division are tired. ”

It can't be said that it is unreasonable, theoretically once the two countries join forces, they are ninety percent sure that they can expel the Song Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River and make the Song Dynasty become the Southern Song Dynasty in advance.

But it is only a theory, and the actual operation is not the same thing, just like when Liu Song united Rouran and the Xiongnu, and the Three Kingdoms attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty. If they act in unison, the Northern Wei Dynasty will surely destroy the country, but in the end? On the contrary, it has achieved the great achievements of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

You can send troops, and the effect of sending troops will be very good, but the candidates must not be Liao Xingzong or Xiao Hui, if these two are these two, the consequences cannot be predicted.

Like the Song Dynasty, there has been peace for a long time, and there are many ministers who don't want to fight, and Xiao Xiaomu, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, said: "In the past, Taizu went on a southern expedition, and finally in vain, followed the Holy Emperor to fight Tang Lijin, Shi Chonggui rebelled, and drove into Bian, but because the Han people resisted, they finally had to withdraw, and they had to make peace for more than 20 years. Today's country is richer and stronger than in the past, but the lords and generals are often different from others. The Song Dynasty is not guilty, and it is cut down for no reason, and its song is in me. What's more, victory or defeat is unpredictable, please Your Majesty to be aware of it. ”

Liao Xingzong did not listen, and blindly transferred the army to Youzhou.

Good baby pick up cheap to start.
