Sima Guang went to the Yongxing Army, and Zeng Gongliang pressed him, can he pull Wang Ju's hind legs? Yes, absolutely, Zeng Gongliang is really old, so as soon as Sima Guang goes to Yongxing Army, he will be able to take over the specific affairs immediately.

The logistics of Gyeongju have to be transferred from the Yongxing Army, Zheng Baiqu belongs to the jurisdiction of that state capital, the Yongxing Army! Where is Antun, where are nearly half of the evacuated Huanqing people, Zheng Baiqu!

With these two points alone, it is enough to make Wang Ju drink a pot.

Also, Sima Guang's pen is good, he arrived at the Yongxing Army, he has to see, he has to listen, this doesn't matter, Guan Jian is he only sees what he wants to see, and listens only to what he wants to hear, even if he doesn't add oil and vinegar, as long as he records what he wants to see and hear, dedicate it to the court, and the court will make waves for him, and finally Wang Ju will eat all the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia, at most he will end up with a merit and demerit.

In fact, in another time and space, Sima Guang really went to the Yongxing Army.

The northwest was at war with Western Xia in many places, Zeng Gongliang was old and powerless, and also under the operation of Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang went to the Yongxing Army. Of course, this is also the strange official system of the Song Dynasty, just like Yanzhou, there are now two top leaders, so it is not surprising that Chang'an has two top leaders.

Then Han Jiang was forced hard, Sima Guang not only pulled Han Jiang's hind legs strictly, but also used people's livelihood as an excuse at every turn, and the small report kept fighting.

Of course, peace is a good thing.

But there are only two ways to make peace, one is to subdue the Western Xia, but will Sima Guang approve of this?

The second is to tacitly observe the Western Xia to build the Twelve Pan Fort and the Havoc Fort, connect Jintang City with the White Leopard City, and like two ghosts knocking on the door. Shut up Dashun City. and then return to Suizhou. But can this really be bought for peace?

It was to cede the entire Shaanxi Road to Western Xia. Don't want to exchange peace from the hands of the big beam and the little beam! It's strange that you can buy peace when you buy it. Yes, it seems that the Liao side is buying. But why did the Liao State come to extort bamboo during the Qingli War?

However, fortunately, the Liao State later sent troops to Western Xia, but this dispatch was not at the request of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not have such a big face. It's not for Princess Xingping, there aren't too many princesses in Liao. In exchange for sending 100,000 soldiers and horses for a princess who has been dead for many years?

This is mainly because Liao Xingzong saw that the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty had been fighting for several years, and the country was ruined and the people were ruined, and he wanted to make a profit. As a result, it was beaten by the Western Xia in the meander. It turns out that Western Xia is so difficult to fight. Then you can compare it, the Song Dynasty and Li Yuanhao fought against each other, and there were many defeats and few victories, but the defeat would not be like his fiasco, and there were several big victories. Then the Song Dynasty is also not easy to deal with, plus there are 500,000 buyans, and the Liao State also acquiesces in this kind of buying. That's it, and I still came to knock on the bamboo pole again.

Therefore, Mai'an is fake, and strength is real.

But can Sima Guang think so?

Zhao Ji was furious and transferred him to Xuzhou.

Sima Guang was in a hurry. The more I mix, the more I turn back, so I went to Xuzhou from Chang'an. Deliberately met Zhao Ji and begged to return to Yushitai as a sentence to stay in Xijing, but Zhao Ji did not report. Sima Guang had no choice but to go to Xuzhou, and finally went to Luoyang to repair books.

Of course, Wen Yanbo is not here to deal with Wang Ju.

The main reason is that he vaguely guessed that Zhao Ji was becoming more and more disgusted with Sima Guang, so it was better to let Sima Guang go to the Yongxing Army, the situation created heroes, and now Sima Guang went to Chang'an, and he had military merits when he participated in the Battle of Gyeongju, and he had peace merits if he led the peace, anyway, he had two pieces of skin in his mouth, and it was okay to say this and that.

As for Wang Ju's thoughts, to hell with it, who cares what Wang Ju thinks. In fact, it was not Wen Yanbo and other human security, and Zhao Ji had already demoted Sima Guang.

However, he underestimated the wisdom of others, just like the shameless Dongming County incident not long after, which was also exposed by Wang Anshi.

Lu Huiqing said again: "Your Majesty, please remember the fate caused by the discord between Dafei Sichuan and Xue Guo. ”

Wen Xianggong, don't make trouble, this is a bloody historical lesson.

Don't doubt Sima Guang, with Sima Guang's scheming and hatred for Wang Ju, after he goes to Chang'an, he will do more than Guo Beifeng.

Zhao Ji said: "It is a fact that Zeng Gongliang is old, but now is a very ordinary moment, when the war in Gyeongju is over, this matter will be discussed." ”

Wen Yanbo was helpless.

However, Zhao Ji's face also calmed down, and when he received the news at first, although he was dissatisfied with Wang Ju taking the initiative to give up the advantage to negotiate peace, he was still very happy. Since the outbreak of the Gyeongju War, he has been worried about Zhongzhong, and only then did he receive a big report from Wang Ju, and at the same time received information from Qinzhou, saying that Dong Yu was about to send troops to Hexi, so he was relieved and even ecstatic.

Weak Song Dynasty, since the time of Song Taizong, the external record has always been more defeated and less victorious, and the victory cannot be a big victory, so it will be like killing 90,000 enemies now?

However, the expressions of the ministers in the court made him feel very disappointed.

However, after calming down, he was able to think about more things, and said: "Inform the whole country of the Gyeongju battle report and use the Di newspaper to inform the whole country, especially Shaanxi Road, so as to facilitate the people's peace of mind." ”

This is the right thing, 300,000 Xia troops invaded, the whole Longyou shook, and the people were uneasy. We must first stabilize the hearts of the people. Poor, no one has thought of it until now......

…………

In the court, Wang Ju had expected this situation a long time ago.

Of course, Zhang Ji thought of Song Ji, just to stabilize Xia Jun. The Xia army had to be dragged for a few days, not only to be safe, but also not just to wait for the Yongxing army's reinforcements to arrive.

Now we can't underestimate the Xia army, especially since the two main forces have a large number of cavalry under their accounts. This time, when Western Xia came, there were more than 110,000 cavalry, and most of them were still buried under the tent of Renduo Lingding and Liang Yi.

Of course, these horses also made Wang Ju covet.

In the battle of Dashun City, only about 4,000 war horses were captured, and in the battle of Mengmen Sancha, only about 3,000 war horses were captured. There were a lot of livestock captured in the two battles of Gyeongju City and Yerak Town, but there were not many war horses, less than 2,000.

Therefore, Wang Ju stared at the war horses of the two main armies of Western Xia, and he was about to drool, what was the most lacking in the Song Dynasty, war horses! This thing is like the high technology of the American imperialists, and both the Liaoxia and Xia countries used it as a strategic material and blockaded the Song Dynasty.

Although he said to Gao Huaizhong that the cavalry should not be feared, the real cavalry would not be able to exert its power in Gyeongju?

Therefore, it is necessary to wait, in a few days, the morale and form of Western Xia will be even worse than now. can cancel out the advantage of cavalry.

This was the main reason for letting Song Ji go.

However, Wang Ju then thought of all kinds of things in the court. Therefore, he wrote about it in the newspaper.

Then he briefly explained the reason with Zhang Qi and Wang Jun. Zhang Kai can understand that it is all a system. Wang Junwan was stunned.

In fact, Wang Ju can understand best, is the Song Dynasty weak? At least the Song Dynasty dared to fight with Liaoxia, and the more it fought with Western Xia, the more it gained the upper hand, dared to open the border of Hehuang, and dared to beat Jiaozhi to the point of almost losing the country. As for the purchase of security, isn't all kinds of assistance a disguised purchase of security? Fifty steps can't laugh at a hundred steps, but wouldn't it be more ridiculous to laugh at ten steps with a hundred steps.

Peace is good. But the actual real peace is only the legendary Dongdong, and there can be no real peace in reality. Even the theoretical peace is definitely not bought, but fought. It's just a smart way to win at the lowest cost, and what means to deal with the aftermath after the war, so that the results of the war can develop in the direction of their favor.

The reason why I explained it was because Wang Junwan's character had a strict flaw, so he broke the news to him, so that he would not be like in history. fought for the Song Dynasty for half his life, but was slandered in his later years. ended up selling his property to pay off his debts, and he ended up angry.

But right now, the three of them are looking at the information sent urgently by Cai Ting in front of them.

Wang Junwan said: "No wonder the Xia thieves sent so many additional troops to Xiguqi, and most of them were cavalry. ”

In the past two days, except for Rouyuanzhai, which has continued to carry out tragic offensive and defensive battles, the rest of the situation is basically calm. But this time there was a balloon to deliver the news, the Rouyuan Zhai army was stable, but the morale of the Xia army was getting lower and lower, although there were heavy casualties in the village, and the dirt mountains outside the city were piled up higher and higher, but the crisis in the village was not so strict, and this kind of Chenguang was also going to end.

Either the Song army constantly took advantage of the familiarity with the terrain and sent rangers to harass the enemy camp at night. This may not seem lethal, but it will work wonders in the end. It's just that the Western Xia people haven't thought about it yet, thinking that the Song army deliberately depressed the morale of the Xia army.

In addition, Xigu Yan's increase in troops once made Wang Ju unable to understand. What can Xigu do to increase troops, it is right to counterattack the three forks of Mengmen. Besides, if you want to capture the West Valley, do you want to use cavalry?

However, two days have passed, and the Tanguts have not evacuated.

Enough, time dragged on, and it also gaged the mouths of the various ministers of the court.

However, Wang Ju has been speculating about Xigu Yan's increase in troops.

It wasn't until he got the information from Cai Ting this morning that he didn't understand.

Cai Ting wanted to plot against Tiandu Mountain, but he couldn't blindly send troops, so in the past few days, he secretly sent scouts to explore the terrain and other information, especially the terrain of Wuyan Gorge, there are many gorges in that canyon, and the main road is not straight, so people who are not familiar with the terrain often go in and can lose their way.

A few scouts saw five thousand Xia cavalry coming from Tiandu Mountain last night, and then camped in Shimenchuan, and hurriedly went back to report Cai Ting.

The scout couldn't figure out why they came, but Cai Ting could figure it out. It was definitely not to deal with the Zhenrong army, that is, the Zhenrong army sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Gyeongju, but there were still soldiers and horses guarding the forts, so Cai Ting quickly thought that the 5,000 cavalry was heading for Huanzhou.

So he immediately sent someone to inform Wang Ju.

After Wang Ju received the news, before dawn, he called Zhang Ji and Wang Junwan over to discuss.

This is not a joke, the enemy is cavalry, maybe in the afternoon can pounce on the flank of Huanzhou.

However, the troops of the forts on the west side of Huanzhou are relatively empty, and there are so many enemy horsemen in Xigu who are eyeing each other and sneaking into Huanzhou at any time to cooperate with them. In addition, it is not only this bit of soldiers and horses, since the Xixia people have used the cavalry of Tiandu Mountain, and they have come from Wuyan Gorge, they will definitely mobilize the people of the Xixia villages on the west side of Huanzhou to come to help. That is, when the Xia army rushed over in the afternoon, there were not only 5,000 soldiers and horses, maybe 8,000, maybe 10,000. As for how much, it depends on how many Ding Zhuang has been transferred by Western Xia over there, and how much Ding Zhuang can mobilize for the rest. This scout can't be found either, let alone in time.

Of course, Cai Ting must be happy, and he can rest assured that he can boldly use troops in Tiandu Mountain.

However, Wang Ju had to solve the crisis immediately.

Zhang Qi looked at the map and said: "Their goal cannot be to return to Dezhai, if it is to return to Dezhai, it is better to come from behind the mountain (referring to the north of Douling and Killing Niuling to Qinggang Gorge and then enter the road of Guidechuan)." ”

Wang Juju agreed.

"It is also impossible to Dingbian Village, although there are many Xixia people living here (this area belongs to the upper reaches of the Puchuan River, there are many small river plateaus, so it is densely populated), Dingbian Village and Pingyuan Village still have a lot of unruly Murong people, but the border village is too far away from Huanzhou, even if they take Dingbian Village and Pingyuan Village, Huanzhou has long been prepared and loses the role of a strange soldier. Therefore, the only targets are Wulun City and Suyuan Village. However, Ulun City is stuck in the Ulun Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is not their goal. Then only Suyuan Village remains. ”

If the Xixia people can quickly take Suyuan Village, then the troops of Xigu Qi will be dispatched immediately, and the east and west will attack, and Yonghe Village will be taken, although there is a Guide Village in front, but the return to De Zika will not die and return to Dechuan, then the entire Guide River will be unimpeded.

And the west side of Suyuan Village is Camel Ping, Daluo Qianchuan, which now belongs to the territory of Western Xia, and there are also many people who live. Moreover, there are some Murong people living in the surrounding area of Suyuan Village, which is equivalent to fighting on the semi-home field, which is beneficial to the Western Xia people.

"Could it be that the Tanguts have changed the direction of their attack?" Wang Junwan asked.

"It is very likely that now they have no choice but to take the Gyeongju Forts, and they are unwilling to retreat with heavy casualties, and may have shifted the direction of attack. But this is a good thing, if the Western Xia forces move westward, it will be very beneficial to our actions below. But the current crisis must be resolved first. Wang Ju said.

The Western Xia army was divided into two parts, but the Song Dynasty's troops were not in one place. Either gnaw the soldiers and horses of Ren Duo Lingding first, or gnaw the soldiers and horses buried by Liang Yi first.

After revising the battle plan, everyone plans to gnaw Liang Yi's buried soldiers and horses first, but Liang Yi's buried troops are strong, and it is still difficult to gnaw, and now it is definitely a good thing for Western Xia to take the initiative to divide troops. However, Huanzhou can't be a mess.

And the problem is that the time is too urgent, and a decision must be made immediately. (To be continued......) R1292
