Article 480 Persuasion
300,000 enemies, Han Guo was shocked when he heard this number.
But now it seems that this 300,000 is just the same thing. Once this idea is generated, another thought will arise, that is, 300,000 battle merits.
Wang Ju said that military exploits may not be a good thing, but it depends on who it is. Guo Kui asked Han Qi to be the deputy prime minister of Xifu, and many people were not convinced, so Guo Kui needed his military exploits to prove himself. As for Han Jiang, not to mention, he doesn't listen to the world, one Han and two Lu. Han is the Han of Han Jiang's family!
This kind of vision made Zhao Dajing scared.
But after a long time, Han Jiang's eyes finally darkened.
Although this battle feats are good, Wang Ju also talked about most of the plan, but he didn't make it clear, can he defeat the Tanguts with this letter? Besides, will the imperial court agree to replace Wang Ju by itself? Unless he uses the identity of Shaanxi Xuanfu to forcibly participate, but this kid is not a trouble-free master, once it causes a bad situation, he will be miserable.
Therefore, he finally said: "You go back and report to your eldest man, and I will support you when the time comes." ”
"Then thank Han Gong Guo Gong," Zhao Dajing said happily.
In fact, he still lacks experience and experience, what did Han Jiang promise?
In fact, nothing was promised!
Support, what is support?
But you can't blame Han Jiang, at least Han Jiang has no ill will towards Wang Ju, the main thing is the 300,000, which made Han Jiang greedy just now, but after calming down, Han Jiang was thinking again, is it really 300,000 so easy to deal with? Therefore, it is impossible for Han Jiang to give a prepared reply.
But Wang Ju did not fully confess, such as Dong Yu.
But for the other person, almost all of them gave the truth.
Huang Hua is much better treated than Zhao Dajing. Where is Zhao Dajing standing. Respectfully replied. Huang Hua sat down and drank tea. While answering Cai Ting's question.
This also shows the embarrassment of Wang Ju's identity, don't think that he is Shaanxi's pacification envoy, Guo Kui may not take him as one thing, Han Jiang will not take Wang Ju as one thing, and Cai Ting also doesn't care.
Then you can only look at their friendship.
Cai Ting read the letter and said, "Dong Yu? ”
"Cai Gong, do you think Dong Yu will ......?"
"Don't worry," Cai Ting called a staff member and asked, "How many troops did Xixia draw from Henan a few days ago?" ”
"It seems to be tens of thousands. However, they inserted themselves from the edge of the desert to Xiongzhou, arrived in Lingzhou, and entered the carriage gorge from Lingwu Avenue. So the scouts couldn't get the exact number. ”
Lingwu Avenue refers to the avenue from Lingzhou to Huanzhou, with a total length of 500 miles, and more than 300 miles in Xixia.
The desert was later known as the Tengger Desert, but although the current Tengger Desert began to deteriorate, there are still many oases and many people living in it, and these people once gave the Western Xia a headache.
However, the survival of these oases ensured the continuation of the northern route from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions. That is, the road from Helan to Juyanhai, and then from Juyanhai to Suzhou. Although there are few towns along the way. There are a lot of people, but the victory is that the road is smooth. At the same time, it can reach the northern divination tribes from the Juyan Sea, so in Western Xia, there are also caravans from time to time to enter the Western Regions or block divination from this road.
On the south side of the Tengger Desert, there are also many small oases, so it is also an important road. Not only is the road smooth, but also very close, almost in a straight line, all the way to Lingzhou. However, it was almost all behind enemy lines, and Cai Ting also got accurate information in his hands.
But it doesn't matter, Huang Hua said on the side: "According to the information from the scouts on the front line of Gu Qingzhou, there may be nearly 70,000 Xia troops arriving in the Carriage Gorge one after another. ”
"Seventy thousand," Cai Ting smiled.
Then Dong Yu can't grasp this opportunity, and he doesn't want to be the successor of the swagger.
Of course, this is not that Liang is a fool, this is a desperate bet, although there will be losses over there, but as long as this side wins Gyeongju, the gains will be far greater than the losses.
But this qiē is pinned on the Xia army to win a big victory this time, at least it must take important forts such as Dashun City, Liyuan Fort, and Rouyuan Village, otherwise the Liang family will wait to extinguish the fire.
"But your eldest man named Zhou Zhijun and Zhao to inspect it, what should the Zhenrong Army do?"
Zhou Yongqing is the commander of the Zhenrong Army, and Zhao Pu is the inspector of the Zhenrong Army, both of whom were outstanding in last year's battle. As soon as the two of them pumped, the Zhenrong army immediately lacked half of the backbone.
"Ming Gong's intention, it is best for Cai Gong to personally sit in charge of the Zhenrong army."
"Hehe, he even took advantage of the old man."
"No, that Renduo Ding is a bit difficult. And before he sent troops to our realm, he paid attention to Murong. ”
"Murong ......"
"He is a good imitation of Ming Gong's move to win over the Yeli clan back then, but my dynasty has already treated Murong very favorably, except for Yili to move him, he can't give any more favors, otherwise he will become more and more big in the future."
The Murong clan is a big clan in the northwest, if you talk about the ranking, Fuzhou Zhejia should be the first, and the Fengzhou Wang family should be the second, but now the Feng family is not good, and then the Yang family in Linzhou is the third, but the Yang family is almost completely sinicized, and then it will be Murong in Huanzhou, and the rest are the big tribes such as the Gao family in Suizhou.
However, some people say that the Murong people are not party members, but descendants of Tuyuhun.
None of this matters.
The important thing is that it is really powerful now, not only in Huanzhou, but also in Gyeongju, Zhenrong Army, and Yuanzhou, where many Murong people are scattered. It is rumored that there are 20,000 people in Huanzhou, of which the Murong tribe accounts for almost a quarter, and now their actual power has been faintly on a par with the Fu family. It's just that this big clan has always been very thoughtful and can't be used by the Song Dynasty. In short, Mu Hangying's maiden family played a very disgraceful role in the Song Dynasty most of the time.
However, the Song Dynasty was weak, and the border soldiers were not very competitive, so the imperial court had to win over many times, which made the Murong leader Mu Enmuhuan and others express limited allegiance to the Song Dynasty.
However, these two people are dead, and future generations have been a little worried about it in recent years. Cai Ting had spent some time in Gyeongju, and of course he knew the origin, so he said cautiously: "Be careful." ”
Don't say that this big war is about to be peacetime. Including Cai Ting in Gyeongju. After the victory in the battle of Dashun City. The Murong clan is still extremely arrogant, and Cai Ting has no way to take them.
Therefore, Cai Ting said again: "Can it be accurate? ”
"The two sides have been secretly in contact, but it is not very clear whether an agreement has been made, and it is not clear how much Murong has participated."
This should be treated differently.
But the truth is even stricter than what Huang Hua said, just like this time to gather strong men and strong horses to participate in the battle, Huanzhou is under the leadership of Murong. It's not ideal.
Therefore, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi said one thing, that is, the relationship between the people and the country.
First of all, the state is an organization made up of all the people in the country, not the emperor's home. Of course, Wang Ju didn't dare to say the latter sentence. It should be said that the previous emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty did not do too badly, at least in ancient times, it can only be so.
Second, the responsibilities and rights between the state and the people. The people had to pay taxes, obey the administration of the state, and obey the laws of the state. This is the responsibility of the people. Then the result is that the state must protect the safety of the people and create a good and just living environment for the people. This is also an obligation that the State must abide by. If you enjoy the protection of the state and all kinds of obligations, but do not spontaneously love and defend it, this is a betrayal of the country, whether you defect to the enemy country or not, you are also a traitor of the state.
Why do some people complain about the state, it is precisely because they pay taxes, obey the management of the state, obey the laws of the state, but do not receive the protection of the state, or in the process of law enforcement, they do not enjoy fair returns in education, medical environment, and production, which is the fault of the state.
But corrupt officials and most elites are well known, but they are actually traitors! Because these people have undoubtedly enjoyed the best rewards of the state, but they have not spontaneously maintained and cared for it.
This is a truth that will never be broken, and it will be adapted a thousand years ago, and it will be adapted a thousand years later.
By doing so, Murong was actually betraying the country. Because they have enjoyed the rewards of the state to the maximum, for example, the state has never levied any form of two taxes on them, for example, the state sent a large number of soldiers in the forts to defend them against the invasion of the Xia people, such as Wang Ju's practice, the enemy in the future, immediately organize the evacuation of the people, to avoid the enemy's damage, and after the war, there will be a slight compensation, and even plan to build part of the homes destroyed by the Xia people for them.
Therefore, they must abide by their duty to send strong men and horses to take the initiative to fight.
But now they did not, but instead colluded with the enemy, so that the officers and men of Huanzhou could not concentrate on dealing with the enemy, and it is not an exaggeration to be a capital crime.
Of course, not only a part of Murong.
Many tribes in Hengshan fled Western Xia and defected to the Song Dynasty.
The Liang clan was also on the side of some of the Fan households of the Song Dynasty. It really made her a little more successful.
The reason is actually simple, for example, the officials did not do a good job in mediating disputes, so that they thought that the Song Dynasty had done unfairly, and secretly defected to Western Xia in anger. Or it was bought by Liang with a silver bullet policy. Or like Murong who sees himself as big, the head of the rat at both ends.
However, when dealing with these Murongs, you really have to be careful, if you don't get it right, it will become a big hornet's nest.
The reason why Wang Ju asked Huang Hua to say this was also to make Cai Ting understand that Ren Duo Ding was difficult to deal with, and asked Zhou Yongqing and Zhao Pu to be careful.
After all, many people don't know much about the ferocity of Renduo Lingding for the time being.
Huang Hua said again: "I heard that there are a lot of materials in the Western Xia of Mingsha City. ”
Cai Ting shook his head and smiled: "Your big man's heart is also too big, and when the soldiers enter Mingsha City, they have to break through the checkpoints such as the reward and transfer entrance, and the materials in Mingsha City have already been emptied for this battle." ”
The main thing is that the Song Dynasty has not yet built Pingxia City, so Mingsha City is still a little far from the Song Realm.
But it also depends on whether it is worth it, if there are a large number of supplies, and the Western Xia troops are drawn to Gyeongju, then this risk can still be taken.
"Then the soldiers will enter Tiandu Mountain."
Cai Ting's eyebrows couldn't help jumping.
The troops are too far into Mingsha City, and too far means that the risk is very high.
But the soldiers into Tiandu Mountain is not very far, from the Dingchuan Village, Sanchuan Village and other front lines, insert Shimenxia, less than 100 miles of road, and then from Shimenxia all the way to the west, also less than 100 miles of road, you can reach Tiandu Mountain.
In normal times, this is not possible, and there are many terrains that are very treacherous.
But now the troops in other parts of Western Xia are a little empty, including the garrison of Tiandu Mountain, I am afraid that more troops have been transferred to Gyeongju.
When Li Yuanhao jumped outside Chang'an City, the entire Song Dynasty was shaken, why? That is the hinterland of the whole Shaanxi. Tiandu Mountain is also reasonable, it is an important garrison place in Western Xia, and it is also the palace where the summer retreat is located.
Li Yuanhao's capture of Chang'an does not mean that he can occupy Chang'an, so he withdrew his troops. If Cai Ting can capture Tiandu Mountain, it also does not mean that he can occupy Tiandu Mountain. But the symbolism is much greater than its occupancy.
If you build this feat, then you will be able to enter the Xifu smoothly. But in that case, it would be necessary for Cai Ting to go to the front line and personally command.
The more Cai Ting thought about it, the happier he became, and finally laughed and said, "Okay, you said that you moved the old man." ”
…………
After three days of stalemate, all the three Xia troops descended on the land of Gyeongju.
Liang Yiburi's main force began to enter the rear of Dashun City from the Nanshan Trail, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Liyuan Fort. If the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty came to the rescue of Dashun City or other forts, it would be just right to surround the point and send reinforcements.
Although there is a small river here, there are no steep gates and city walls to create "ice fields", and who is afraid of whom in the field?
And Liang Yi's buried troops are sufficient, even if his troops are divided into five routes, he can also ensure absolute military superiority.
All the way to Rouyuan Village, but not Rouyuan Village, but to cut off the road of Rouyuan Village, to create favorable conditions for taking Anjiang Fort.
Liang Yongneng's army also arrived at Anjiang Fort.
Of course, the army of Renduo Lingding, which worried Wang Ju the most, also came, and he led an army of 60,000 or 70,000 people from the carriage gorge into Xiangbai Village, Jingbian Town, and Damingbo, and slowly arrived at Tongsaichuan.
Wang Ju was quite jealous of this guy. But Ren Duo Lingding was not happy in his heart.
If it was according to his construction, this battle would not have been fought like this, but a partial army was sent to feint to attack Dashun City and Anjiang Fort. Because of the large number of troops sent this time, even if it is a partial army, it is enough to deter the Song army in Liangbao City.
Of the remaining two armies, the main army launched an attack from the Chescha Road, and the partial army launched an attack from the Tokugawa Road. This will have several advantages, one is that the road is wide, whether it is the road to Yanzhou, or the Lingwu Avenue to Lingzhou, then you can march at a very fast speed, put troops, and transport grain and grass materials.
Secondly, the forts of the Song Dynasty along the way will not be as difficult to gnaw as Dashun City.
If you can shake a part of the Murong people, even if it is only a part, and continue to let them be the uncle, then you can take most of Huanzhou. Losing Huanju and taking the town of Zhubao in the northwest of Gyeongju will be in danger for Gyeongju. As for Murong, then you can wait until you take Gyeongju, and then you will have a general account after the autumn.
Although this is a little slower, it is the safest way to play, although the food will be tight, but it can be copied and supplemented from the Song Realm.
The road in Dashun City is very fast, but can Dashun City be taken down?
However, Liang didn't listen and was helpless.
However, at the moment, it is still Renduo Lingding who occupies an absolute advantage.
Although Yanda is very capable of fighting, Renduo Lingding is also not bad. However, Yanda's strength was only one-tenth of that of Indo, and he had only been in Gyeongju for a short time, so he was not very familiar with the various soldiers under him.
It was in this passive situation that the strongest collision in the Battle of Gyeongju was about to begin...... (To be continued......) R1292
