Zheng Lang's trip is still a little dangerous.

Yuan Hao made the Song army's heroic resistance chilling, and for other reasons, he did not attack Yanzhou, nor did he dare to occupy Jinmingzhai.

It is six hundred miles away from Hengshan, far away from the base camp of Western Xia, think about it, once the Song Dynasty reacts, tens of thousands of madmen like Sanchuankou will pour in, and it will not be enough to consume 100,000 troops stationed here.

It was a disastrous victory, and it also achieved his strategic goals, establishing prestige in his country, among other gains. The plundering of a large number of materials was obtained from Jinmingzhai, and the siege of the city was the shortcoming of the Tangut people, who did not enter the city, even if the plundering was limited, and it was far from the loss caused by the war. However there is a population.

The population composition of the 36 villages of Jinming Village is complex, and the living habits are also very complex, including grazing, hunting, farming, and two or three ways of mixed survival. The terrain is also complicated, there are valleys, riversides, flat rivers, and cottages, and the tribes who do not surrender to Yuan Hao hide in the ravines and ravines, and Yuan Hao has no way. The tribal people who rebelled against the Song Dynasty could only be taken away.

We can't simply and rudely use non-our race, whose hearts will be different.

At this time, the two countries were very hazy about their national views, and the conflict was the conflict between the nomadic civilization and the farming civilization.

The war launched by Li Yuanhao is not a just national reading war, it is what the brick family said when they were slapped on the head by bricks. Without the drag of the party, with the development of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty would not have perished so quickly, so the Northern Song Dynasty would bring the economy and culture to an incredible height, bringing benefits to both the Han people and the party members. Li Yuanhao succeeded in founding the country, and also dragged a nation to the abyss of destruction.

Li Yuanhao took away many people, which was a damage to the Song Dynasty. If these people are not taken away, they will still regain their allegiance to the Song Dynasty if they are properly wooed. Yuan Hao's tribes who did not surrender, in addition to Yuan Hao's sworn enemies Yang Jia, may not always be loyal to the Song Dynasty, such as the Murong family in Huanzhou.

The removal of these people increased the population base and military resources of the Western Xia, and undoubtedly increased the strength of the Western Xia people.

Yuan Hao didn't know how many troops the Song Dynasty had near Yanzhou at this time, although they captured Shi Yuansun and Liu Ping, but the two refused to speak, so they didn't dare to stay in Jinmingzhai for too long, in case of an accident, not only offset the harvest, but also the country would be in turmoil.

Hastily brought back the surrendered tribes, but it always had to be delayed for a few days, Yuan Hao's army did not leave, Fan Yong was frightened, what could he say to the court.

Zheng Lang came early.

If you come a few days earlier, there will even be a serious crisis.

Fan Yong's difficult words finally came to an end, and Yuan Hao slowly withdrew from the 36th village of Jinming with hundreds of people's materials, and then retreated to Tumen.

For these Qiangbo tribes, Fan Yong's understanding is also very superficial, and he still wishes that Yuan Hao would take all the rebellious people away together, so as to save the disaster for Yanzhou in the future.

Fan Yong's heart was slightly settled, but there was no guarantee that Yuan Hao would not return. Yuan Hao didn't want Jin Mingzhai, but at this time, Jin Mingzhai wanted no soldiers, no generals, this huge space, just like a yellow flower girl without a single dress, put into a male prison cell that had been locked up for more than ten years, Yuan Hao could do whatever he wanted.

Yuan Hao escorted the people and supplies back to Hengshan, and what should the army do if they returned?

So he wrote a memora again, reported the situation, and urged the imperial court to send rescue troops to Yanzhou as soon as possible. In fact, the imperial court has already issued an order to send troops to rescue Yanzhou with Zhao Zhen of Huanzhou and Gao Jilong of Gyeongju with the strategy of Jinglu. This edict was several days later than in history, and it had not yet reached Huanju and Gyeongju, and it was destined that the two of them would become battle heroes with thousands of soldiers and run away in vain.

This edict can still be understood, what if Yuan Hao didn't leave?

The arrival of Zhao Gao and the others can play a key role.

The second edict is even more strange, the edict is to quickly lead the army, take the Yuan Hao empty country into the Kou, go straight to the root, if successful, when the silver summer festival degree, the army is said to be secretly awarded the edge of the border to appease the division, do not give the clothes and gold belt.

Dare to think that the Tubo people are Fuzhou folded family.

Fuzhou Zhejia is a special case, to the north are the Khitans, to the west are the Tanguts, if they don't defect to the Song Dynasty, how can they survive? The population base is also different, tens of thousands of people in Fuzhou, how many people are in Tubo, Qinghai?

Why did the Tubo people defect to the Song Dynasty?

In the past, accepting the official position of the Song Dynasty was a manifestation of mutual benefit.

Besides, Yuan Hao only brought out 80,000 horses, what is the emptiness of the whole country? Once he listened to the words of the Song Dynasty and left the Qinghai Plateau, he would be dead this time. Don't forget, there are also two sons who have taken refuge in Western Xia on the plateau. He was reluctant to kill his two sons, but the two sons didn't mind taking the opportunity to seize the Qinghai territory and become a veritable king of Qinghai. Therefore, although he was edicted, he did not follow it.

As soon as Fan Yong sent him away, he heard the news of Zheng Lang's arrival.

And Zheng Lang has arrived in Dunzhou.

Yanzhou officials were in an uproar.

Liu Ping's first battle, it was not Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun's two departments, and then Huang Dehe, the governor of Yanyan, and the 2,000 people who were stationed in the broken gold valley north of the security guard, inspected the Ministry of Ten Thousand Ministers and Guo Zun's Department, a total of five people, a total of nearly 12,000 people.

It's not all annihilated.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Ping did not hear the generals' voices, which led to a slight decline in morale, Yuan Hao attacked in time, Huang Dehe and the first commander of the left army of Xiao cavalry made Guo Neng escape, and the Chinese army and the rear army all fled. Huang Dehe took more than 2,000 soldiers with him, and nearly 2,000 soldiers were scattered, not on the main battlefield, it was dark, scurrying like flies, some were caught or killed by the Tanguts, and some fled to the surrounding Song army camps. No one has entered Yanzhou, and there are still tens of thousands of troops outside Yanzhou, and they can't enter if they want to.

But Yuan Hao withdrew, and Fan Yong was finally able to send some of his men.

After Huang Dehe escaped, the officials in Yanzhou could not know how Liu Ping fought, but they knew part of the truth.

If it is to investigate Huang Dehe, the officials of Yanzhou will not be afraid, but the edict clearly says that Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo came to investigate and delay state affairs this time, so do they count? Li Kangbo and Lu Shouqin were in a mess and asked Fan Yong: "Fan Xianggong, what should I do?" ”

Fan Yong said: "The imperial court sent a messenger to inquire and let them check. ”

"But, it's ......" Li Combo was so nervous that he stumbled a little.

"We faced more than 100,000 enemy troops and held Yanzhou, didn't we?"

Yanzhou Tong judged with a sneer in his heart, you are called guarding. Even if Yuan Hao launched an unseemly attack, he could barely count you as holding and fighting with hundreds of thousands of enemies, but he only sent a part of the army to stay under the city, and he didn't attack at all.

And there are people in the city who want to open the gates and surrender.

There's a fart credit.

The chapter was silent.

Fan Yong still has merit, but he is very nervous in his heart. There are credits, but the faults are even greater, especially when Zheng Lang came, and he still had Zheng Lang's warning in his arms, but he didn't listen to it, and he didn't even say it to Li Shibin.

The imperial court also asked Zheng Lang to concurrently serve as a pacification envoy, which was his own position, which was tantamount to snatching military power from his own hands, indicating that the imperial court was very dissatisfied with himself.

But thinking of Li Shibin, his eyes lit up, anyway, Li Shibin's father and son were gone, so he just pushed the responsibility on him.

Fan Yong was thinking about Li Shibin, and the ugly Lu Shouqin was thinking about Ji Yongzhang and Li Kangbo, so he preemptively issued an edict, accusing Tong Juji Yongzhang and the capital supervisor Li Kangbo for refusing to carry out the order when the enemy was present, and then slandering Ji Yongzhang, the only bright spot in Yanzhou City, had a proposal to abandon Yanzhou and surrender to Yanzhou at the beginning of the siege.

Ugly dramas are about to be staged, and Zheng Lang came to Yanzhou.

This trip was in a hurry, rushed through Tongguan, did not go to Jingzhaofu, directly crossed Weishui, and went straight to Tongzhou.

made Xia Zhu pounce.

Lifting up and down, the most grateful to Zheng Lang at this time was Xia Zhu, Xia Zhu made Yang Kai faint, and after seeing Yang Kai's performance, his hands trembled. We are also a genuine Jinshi background, and we have also done the emperor's lectures, the history of China for thousands of years, how many Li Jinghuo have been sick?

But others are weak, and the twists and turns don't work.

In the entire court, only Zheng Lang spoke for him. After learning the news, Xia Zhu held a few little sisters in his arms and said happily: "How can I know how to return so quickly?" ”

What in return?

Without his proposal back then, Zheng Lang would not have lost half a hair, Zheng Lang was just talking about things. Hearing that Zheng Lang came to the northwest, Xia Zhu immediately left dozens of beautiful girls in the house and rode to Tongguan.

Xia Zhu had no choice but to go back.

Even if you take a shortcut from Yanzhou to Tokyo City, it will take 1,200 miles, and Zheng Lang only took four days to arrive.

After getting off the war horse, Wen Yanbo rubbed his buttocks, he was not used to riding a horse, his buttocks were worn out, and there were blood marks between his hips, he was embarrassed to touch it, and protested: "Xingzhi, I want to rest in Dunzhou today." ”

"Brother Kuanfu, listen to your orders."

Zheng Lang is here to do things, to seek justice for the martyrs, and to promote righteousness. So he is very low-key, knowing that Zhao Zhen loves himself, Wen Yanbo's heart is a little unbalanced, Wen Yanbo's personality is the most clear to him, it is best not to offend, so along the way, the two occasionally exchanged calligraphy and knowledge.

Zheng Lang gave Wen Yanbo enough respect, and Wen Yanbo didn't say anything.

In fact, Zheng Lang is not a state affair, Zheng Lang has a very gentle temper, not only to Wen Yanbo, but also to all the soldiers, and even eats and lives together.

Under the cohesion of Zheng Lang, the team of more than 300 people is very harmonious.

Zhang Zongzhi, the governor of Yanzhou, greeted him, he was the second son of the late minister Zhang Qixian, and Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo did not dare to slack off.

In fact, Zhang Zongzhu's performance was outstanding this time, when the army in Yanzhou was empty, Liu Ping's entire army was annihilated, and the people were panicked, and Zhang Zongzhu quickly calmed down the people's hearts.

Yuan Hao did not attack Dunzhou, but there was chaos in Dunzhou, and Yuan Hao did not mind going straight to Juzhou from Sanchuankou to create brilliance.

Zheng Lang asked, "Zhang Zhizhou, what about Huang Dehe?" ”

After this boy fled, in order to flee lightly, he did not bring any heavy grain and grass, and after fleeing to Ganquan, he ransacked the people in order to provide and eat and drink. But Ganquan was only a county, and in fear, he fled to Juzhou again. Zhang Zongzhi said: "The army will seize the generals and have no return, and there will be chaos." ”

If you don't take it in, this army will immediately become bandits, and before Yuan Hao's army goes south, this army will be messed up in its own territory.

In fact, at that time, the army of Dunzhou was empty, and the inclusion of this force increased the strength of Dunzhou. This is what Zhang Zongzhi values the most.

Zhang Zongzhi replied: "In the morning, he led the army to Yanzhou. ”

Huang Dehe did not belong to Zhang Zongxue's control, Yanzhou was empty at this time, Huang Dehe wanted to return to Yanzhou, and Zhang Zongzhi could not keep it.

Zheng Lang asked eagerly, "How long have you been gone?" ”

"About two hours."

Zheng Lang summed up the distance, from Yanzhou to Dunzhou nearly 300 miles, Huang Dehe led the army is a mixed formation of horse infantry army, the horse army is small, the infantry is more, walked for nearly four hours, even if it is fast, it is only fifty or sixty miles.

Turning his head, he said to Yang Wenguang: "Commander Yang, you take my holy decree and lead your subordinates to chase Huang Dehe and his subordinates back, and let them return to Juzhou immediately." ”

Boy, you've survived this catastrophe and want to escape!

"Whoa."

Yang Wenguang left with his men.

Zhang Zongzhi smiled awkwardly, and Zheng Lang said cryptically: "The enemy is currently outnumbered, so I have to be expedient. ”

"Pacify the envoy, let's go into the city," Zhang Zongyu glanced at Zheng Lang gratefully, stretched out his hand and said.

Along the way, Zhang Zonghai had some conversations with Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo, very polite, Zhang Zongzhu's family background is good, Wen Yanbo's family background is not bad, Zheng Lang's family background is poor, but who makes people have the ability to be favored by the saints. Zhang Zongzhi told some of the things he heard, and then said: "Liu Ping doesn't seem to have surrendered, but Huang Dehe is slandering Liu Ping. ”

Didn't use an affirmative tone, otherwise he would have been derelict in his duties.

However, what should Zhang Zongzhi do, if it was disposed of at that time, more than 2,000 people would be chaotic, and if the stakes in the middle were explained, the mediocre bigwigs in the court might not be able to understand, and Suo pretended to be confused. Even if he said to Zheng Lang, he also used more than one.

Zheng Lang didn't blame him, listened to Zhang Zongzhi's arrangement, and stayed.

After dinner, the two were chatting with Zhang Zongzhi over tea.

It's not a small talk, it's about the situation in the northwest, and Zheng Lang will learn more. Zhang Zongzhi said again vaguely: "There are too few troops in the northwest. ”

You can't count on other people's soldiers, take a look at Jinmingzhai.

Zheng Lang nodded.

"There is also a very poor quality of grain and grass supplied by Maipo, and the border army has nine lives and one death, but the treatment is far inferior to that of the forbidden soldiers in the capital."

Zheng Lang still nodded.

Zhang Zongzhi only said part of it, and there are still many problems.

As he was talking, a soldier outside broke in and reported: "Huang Dehe has been brought back by Commander Yang." ”

Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other and said, "Let's go." ”
