Chapter 479: Greed

As the flames soared, some people began to fight back spontaneously.

Although Liang Yibury had instructed that he was not allowed to act without his order, who still listened to him at this time.

But now it's really messy.

Many tents were burning, many soldiers were fighting fires, and unlike the Song Dynasty, the soldiers of Western Xia were mostly conscripted. This again involves the question, that is, why did the Tangut people use less soldiers?

Some people say that they plundered, but what if they were defeated?

Some people say that they are nomads, but what about nomads, don't they eat or drink?

In fact, the real reason is not the above two items, but this conscription system.

Another example is the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao in Hanzhong. It is rumored that Cao Cao's army was 400,000 and Liu Bei's army was 350,000. But at first, Liu Bei did not have 350,000 troops, because of the lack of troops, although he killed Xia Houyuan, he had to stalemate with Cao's army in Hanshui. This historical fact Luo Guanzhong basically wrote, but Luo Guanzhong did not write another thing in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

That is, Shu is actually a small country, with weak strength and a small number of soldiers. At that time, the stalemate continued, which was very unfavorable to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei immediately sent people to Chengdu to let Zhuge Liang urgently transfer troops to support.

He was forced to let women be the husbands of the people.

[But did Shu have a dead country?]

Think about it again, how much did the Qingli War cost? I don't know hundreds of millions, there is nothing to calculate. But another battle was counted by the minister, that is, the Battle of Lanzhou. Although this scale is large, it lasts for a relatively short period of time. It's this battle. The Song Dynasty spent 70 million guan!

But how many troops were really used. Less than 200,000! Although there are more troops on the battlefield. But Wang Chao continued to set up the Tianmen array in Dingzhou with more than 100,000 Hebei troops, which did not come in handy at all.

If you play like Liu Bei, how much will it cost.

The actual reason is simple, that is, the conscription system.

This is also the reason why Han Qi and Wang Anshi repeatedly want to fight the military system.

However, since the Tang Dynasty, the conscription system has actually been unable to be implemented in the Central Plains Dynasty. Even some of the permanent troops of Western Xia and Liao began to implement semi-recruitment.

Now it burned, from weapons to luggage, and even tents. It's your own private property, can you not save it?

But this rescue, the whole thing is messed up.

There were people who wanted to fight back, but there was no organization at all. But there was another problem, it was a counterattack, but when they staggered a small step, the Paujie soldiers slid lightly with their ski poles, and they slid ten steps. Coupled with the unorganized counterattack and the strength of the counterattack, there was no way to stop these thousands of Baojie troops from continuing to shoot rockets.

"It's a shame." Many of the soldiers on the head of the city sighed.

"Isn't it a pity for you, if Dashun City has enough troops. Take advantage of the chaos to kill, Xia Kou will be defeated? Dou Shunqing asked.

"Dou Gong, exactly."

"But have you ever thought that today, with the continuous arrival of Xia Kou reinforcements in the rear, there are now more than 100,000 thieves gathered here, if we can't defeat them, we will be trapped by them, even if we have 30,000 soldiers and horses in our hands and are besieged by hundreds of thousands of enemies, what will be the result?" Dou Shunqing said.

"Moreover, even if Xia Kou is defeated, the rear is the enemy territory, when Dashun City fought to that point, it still let nearly half of the enemies on both sides of Dashun City escape, and now the enemy is all in the west of the city, how many enemies can we kill, 20,000, 30,000?"

Wang Ju didn't want 20,000 or 30,000.

His ambitions are even greater.

Although the specific plans were not even known to the commanders, most of the plans were told to more than a dozen brigade generals.

Wang Ju also expected that with the end of this drum, many generals would feel sorry, so he deliberately explained to Dou Shunqing and asked him to comfort the generals. Even Wang Ju deliberately said to Dou Shunqing in a euphemistic tone, I don't want to kill or injure many people, the main thing is to hit the morale of the enemy. Although the tone is euphemistic, it is actually an order!

But in the face of this great opportunity, no matter what Dou Shunqing said, everyone's thoughts were still a little mixed.

Liang Yibury and the main generals also got up, and if they didn't get up again, the fire would soon burn their butts.

Under their command, the Tangut people gradually became orderly, and at the same time, a group of troops and horses began to form a siege of the thousands of Baojie troops.

"Withdraw," Dou Shunqing said.

The trumpets of retreat sounded over the city.

Thousands of Song troops quickly retreated.

At this time, Liang Yizhu was dumbfounded, what is this, how is it so fast, it seems to be faster than the speed of a war horse running on a grassland without snow.

Thousands of Song troops withdrew safely, but left the Tangut people with a lot of chicken feathers.

Liang Yizhu almost had tears in his eyes, letting people clean up the mess. What made him most angry was that the Song people didn't take into account his feelings at this time, and as the thousands of Song troops returned to the city, drums sounded on the city again, and at the same time, some people shouted: "Liang Yiburi, go home and eat your sister's milk." ”

Liang Yibury didn't care about getting angry, looked at Song Ji and asked, "Master Song, what should I do?" ”

Things have developed to this point, and he has some six gods and no master, and he doesn't even know how to fight next. Because he really doesn't understand this way of playing!

But Liang Yi buried the wrong candidate, he took Song Ji as Zhang Pu, Zhang Yuan, and Wu Hao, but Song Ji was not. Song Ji's eyes were even more dazed at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, the perennial conquest, Xixia has also cultivated some generals who can fight, such as the old Wang Shuwei Minglang Yu, Renduo Lingding, who is about to have the strongest collision with Yanda, Ye Weima, who has suffered a lot of big losses under Wang Ju, is also growing rapidly, and Baa is buried, etc., all of which are generals who can fight. Even if it can't be reused for various reasons, but in addition to these generals, there are other generals, at least it's better than letting Liang Yibury be the coach.

But at this time, he couldn't be impatient, and he was afraid that Liang Yi would be angry and angry, and he would be angry with him, maybe he would be cut off by Liang Yi, he tried his best to say in a comforting tone: "General, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." In fact, this little catastrophe is really lucky. ”

Liang Yi buried him and said he was stupid.

Du Dola said again: "General. Think about it. If the Song army in Dashun City is sufficient, what will be the consequences if they take advantage of the chaos to kill? ”

Liang Yifu couldn't help but shudder.

Wang Ju's appetite is a little big, but Liang Yibury is not willing to fail, as long as he fails along the way, and the remaining two roads have to retreat, then this campaign that uses the money and silk of Western Xia will end in failure. The consequence is not only failure. It can even shake the rule of the Liang family.

But he underestimated his sister. Including the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty and Wang Ju, they all underestimated the Liang family.

To control power doesn't have to be a war.

Just like the Tubo Wulu clan killed Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Li Jing's Tubo God of War on Qinling, will the Tubo God of War be able to fight?

Or like Wu Zetian, since Li Zhiyi's death, Wu Zetian has officially dictatorship, look at how many times the Tang army has been defeated, can it prevent Wu Zetian from becoming the empress?

This is not military, but power. In terms of power, there are really few people in Western Xia who can match the Liang family.

Song Ji hurriedly said on the side: "General Du Duo is right." This is God bless my Great Xia, God bless the Queen Mother. ”

What to do. Although this series of failures is not directly related to him, most of the plans along the way are from his hands, and he hurriedly patted his ass to make Liang Yi bury his anger.

Du Dora was so angry that he wanted to kick Song Ji to death, and he said: "General, although hundreds of soldiers were burned to death because of this fire, the losses are still not too heavy. It was the loss of some tents and materials, because the rescue was timely, there was no loss of grain and grass, most of the materials were saved, and nearly eighty percent of the tents remained. This loss can be beared, as long as any fort in the rear of the Song Dynasty is captured, it can be made up for ten times and a hundred times. Therefore, it is imperative to get down to business. ”

"Yes, get down to business."

Anyway, everyone will definitely not be able to sleep, so send someone to cut wood, make plates, and repair the ice wall.

Now Liang Yibury no longer dares to say that Song Jun is a turtle shrinking in Dashun City, even if it is a turtle, it is a turtle spirit that has practiced for a thousand years and eats people without spitting out bones.

Especially for the sneak attack that the Song army could not guard against, only by building an ice wall could everyone feel at ease.

Du Dola reminded again: "General, don't forget jì, you have to sweep away the ice and snow on the Nanshan trail, and send someone to check the whereabouts of that army...... This army has always made me feel uneasy. Moreover, immediately send someone to contact General Liang Yongneng. ”

It's all about business.

You can't build an ice wall and stalemate with the Song army in Dashun City, in that case, it's better to retreat as soon as possible.

And if this development continues, for the time being, it is impossible to take Dashun City, so it is necessary to take Anjiang Fort and Anjiang Fort in order to link the third-line army, especially the grain and grass, the Nanshan mountain road is rugged, and it is impossible to transport grain and grass in large quantities. The road in Anjiang Fort is not very good, but it can be opened to cars and horses. Immediately, hundreds of thousands of troops entered the Song Dynasty, and if there was not enough food and grass, and the fortress of the Song Dynasty was not breached, there would be big trouble.

All of them are in a hurry.

Liang Yibury nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, I'll give the order immediately." ”

Ordering one by one, many soldiers began to get busy, and Liang Yibury looked at Dashun City and muttered: "Where did this old guy come from, why didn't he reuse it before the Song Dynasty?" ”

"General, this person has also made great achievements before, the Song Dynasty Chenzhou barbarian rebellion endlessly, as soon as this person went to Chenzhou, he immediately quelled the rebellion and forced the barbarian leader Peng Shixi to surrender."

The side of Jinghu South Road in the Song Dynasty was also a big headache in the Song Dynasty, especially Meishanman, which became a country in China, and the Song Dynasty had no way to take this Meishanman for nearly a hundred years. Note that there is no ethnic problem here, on the contrary, the Song Dynasty has always used the method of buying an to solve these border people. But the various practices in that area are unimaginable, forcibly abducting Han people as slaves, which are real slaves, not tribes, dissecting the bellies of pregnant women, digging out people's hearts and livers for food, and from time to time entering Han areas to burn and loot...... Wait a minute. This Liang Yibury also heard a little.

"And as a military general, he served as the governor of Qinzhou for several months." Song Ji said.

However, at this time, Du Duo Lazhen had already had some suspicions, was this qiē really done by Dou Shunqing?

But what he can't understand is that if it weren't for Dou Shunqing's doing, would Li Fugui come up with these arrangements with his talents?

In short, at this point, Du Duo Layan has already felt uneasy in his heart.

Not only him, but even the scouts sent out by Liang Yibury became cautious along the way. Although, as Du Dorayan said. These losses are bearable. But at this time, the morale of the hundreds of thousands of Xia troops dropped to freezing......

…………

"The small ones see Han Gong and Guo Gong." Zhao Dajing gave a big bow and said.

"Don't be polite." Han Jiang said.

Of course, Zhao Dajing is still a little restrained, although he has stayed behind Wang Ju for many years, but he is just an ordinary teenager in Wangjiazhai, and Han Guo and the others have such a high status, how can they not be nervous at all?

"Your eldest man has such a big appetite." Han Jiang said again.

"Han Gong, the little one came this time to see if he could go to Dashun City to see the actual situation. went back to report, and the second was to send two letters to Han Gong and Guo Gong. ”

There is no way around it.

Others don't know, but Wang Ju noticed that Han Jiang and Guo Kui had some discord because of their differences, so that Guo Kui publicly expressed his opinions on some occasions and opposed the opening of Luo Wucheng. But Kaibian Luo Wucheng was supported by Han Jiang.

So the same letter must be written in two copies, otherwise Guo Kui will be angry.

There was no more Luo Wucheng in the letter.

In fact, the Western Xia transferred troops to Gyeongju, which was a good opportunity for the other two routes.

However, the fine floating map village hangs alone on the apex of the Dali River, and Luowu City is farther away from the Suide Military City. Therefore, I want to take the opportunity to get rid of these two bases. Things are back to the way they used to be. Several large forts had to be built to form a strong chain of defensive fronts. Otherwise, you can take it, but you can't keep it.

Not to mention that it is impossible for the imperial court to agree, even if it does, it also requires a lot of people's and material support, but the people's and material resources in the rear were transferred to Gyeongju by Wang Ju.

So Wang Ju didn't say anything about Suizhou, and he didn't need to say it.

But there are other opportunities.

However, in order to get the two to agree, Wang Ju said some rough plans in the letter.

There's no way, Cai Ting's side doesn't have to worry about Wang Ju, it's mainly Yanzhou's side.

"Why didn't your eldest man go to Gyeongju, but returned to Ningju."

This Wang Ju estimated that Han Jiang would ask questions, and he also gave instructions in advance, and Zhao Dajing replied smoothly: "Qi Han Gong, there are three reasons why my eldest man did this. First of all, my eldest man is a little false in the Western Xia, once the Western Xia people learn that my eldest man takes over the civil and military affairs of Huanqing Road, they may be on strict guard. That is not conducive to defeating the enemy. Secondly, there are more than 30,000 Baojie troops in the rear, whether they can really defeat the enemy, these more than 30,000 Baojie troops will become a key force, so Dalang will make further arrangements when he returns to Ningzhou. Finally, there are materials and evacuated people, more materials are concentrated in Ningzhou, and the people are also more here in Ningzhou, scattered to various places for arrangement. In particular, there may be close to 200,000 people in the midst of a large-scale evacuation, and these people are mixed with Han and ethnic complexity. If you're not careful, you'll make a big mess. So my eldest man is not very relieved. In addition, my eldest man is young and young, and he is afraid that the officials in the rear may not obey his orders, so he has to return to Ningzhou and inquire in person. ”

It makes sense.

Wang Ju's real identity is not a military general, but a civil minister.

Whether it's really careful or not, at least it's good for the people.

Han Jiang nodded, and asked again, "Why did he designate Gao Yongneng instead of a kind of monk?" ”

This Wang Ju also confessed, and Zhao Dajing replied: "Whether it is General Zhe, General Gao or General Chong, they are all peerless brave generals." But my eldest man also said that he was not afraid of 10,000, but he was afraid of what happened. Since the imperial edict abandoned Luowu City, the Suide army and civilians returned to the embarrassing situation south of the Dali River. Therefore, it is necessary to plant a general in charge, and General Zhe cannot be mobilized either, with him, he can communicate with the Fuzhou Zhejia Army. ”

That's all the more of a reason.

In fact, Wang Ju didn't want to use seeds at all.

Although he is indeed very capable of fighting, he is a typical "Chinese", a real lone wolf.

It's good to have ideas, but I'm afraid that you don't have ideas. The military general has become a puppet of the civil minister, can he fight a good war? But I'm more afraid that there are too many ideas and too many independence.

No matter what caused his mentality, but in this huge battle, every general must obey the transfer, including Wang Juzhang, must become a part of this war machine. That is, every general is required to have team spirit.

Do you have team spirit?

He is in charge of an army by himself, which is a super raptor, but if he becomes someone else's subordinate and becomes part of the team, he will become an extremely bad part.

"So tell me about the situation in Dashun City?"

Zhao Dajing recounted the two-day battle in Dashun City in 1510.

But his luck was very good, one day later, Liang Yibury cleared the snow on the Nanshan Trail, and he had no way to enter Dashun City along the way.

"Oh," Han Jiang and Guo Kui both had a light in their eyes after hearing this, a greedy light. (To be continued......) R1292
