Chapter 818: Deadly Journey
At that time, Wang Anshi transferred Wang Ju to the Ordinance Department, but Wang Ju was very "acquainted", and later Wang Ju went to Gyeongju, and was suppressed by Wen Yanbo and others after the victory, Wang Anshi was silent, so the relationship between the two was very estranged. But how does Cai Bian answer?
Wang Ju said: "According to him, there are two goals for the Jiefu Gong Reform, to fill the country's deficit and fill the treasury. He did do this, and even I enjoyed his favor, if it weren't for the Jiefu Gong Reform, the Northwest would have failed twice, and even if I initiated the banking department, I don't know that year I would have been able to turn the finances around. Without sufficient finances, the successive victories in the northwest will not be achieved at all. ”
"The second intention is that the people do not increase the tax and the state uses it for its own use, but in fact it is to use some reasonable methods to increase the state revenue on the basis of not increasing taxes. But this one, Jiefu Gong really didn't do it, some changes are really good, but many changes are indeed money. ”
"Furthermore, what is the treasury full of? There are only two uses, one is to lenient the people, Jiefu Gong has not introduced any measures to lenient the people, why, but for the second article, to strengthen the country! However, knowing that the country is strong, why does even Wang Shao want to suppress it? You must know that Wang Shao went into battle in person on the front line for the country, so he was injured and died of a backlash, but the jade belt of the official family was given to Jiefu Gong. Is it because Wang Shao does not agree to levy two taxes on Xihe? ”
Of course, Cheng is also Wang Anshi, without Wang Anshi's support, Wang Shao will not be able to smoothly open up the Xihe, but defeat is also Wang Anshi, without Wang Anshi, Wang Shao will not die of anger.
However, how Wang Anshi treated Wang Ju, not only in the military, but also in the economy. Just because he doesn't support Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi sat back and watched Wen Yanbo repeatedly suppress Wang Ju. If it weren't for Wang Ju's means, he would have become the second Zhang Kang a long time ago.
Then talk about a ghost powerhouse!
"But what I want to say is that the status of military generals and military ministers in our dynasty is already very pitiful, if it is a mediocre military general and military minister, it is just that, like some capable military generals and military ministers, the country has to find a way to protect them. Even if I go down this time and get lucky, there is an even stronger enemy in the north. ”
But you can't blame Wang Anshi either. In the game, who has such a long-term vision? Is it really Zhuge Liang Liu Bowen in Romance?
However, Wang Ju also made a fair evaluation: "Although I am different from your grandfather, your grandfather's ethics are impeccable, and the country has indeed reached the point where it will not change......"
Wang Anshi has meritorious deeds in his life, six points of merit, four points of merit, this is Wang Ju's evaluation of Wang Anshi.
Later, Wang Ju took care of some official business in Zhongshu and went to the storage area in the southeast of the capital.
Before Xia arrived, Wang Ju gave an order.
First of all, the old grain was taken out of the warehouse and prepared to be transported to Shaanxi Road.
Wang Ju used the strategy of Song Taizu to level the Northern Han. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't beat Taiyuan three times, so he came up with an idea. Isn't everyone in your Northern Han Dynasty a soldier, every time we send troops, a large number of people from your Northern Han Dynasty will be migrated to the Song Realm, and in the end there will be no more people, see how many troops you can still dispatch? So in the end, there were only tens of thousands of households in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyi took Taiyuan in one, two, three.
Now Wang Ju did the same, after taking Lingzhou, the Song army forcibly expelled the people from Lingzhou to Xiaoguan to Xiaoguan.
However, after these people migrated to Weiyuan, at least they must not be allowed to starve to death.
Moreover, there have been and will be many battles in the northwest this year, which also means that a lot of grain and grass will be consumed.
Therefore, these old grains were out of the warehouse and successively transferred to Shaanxi Road.
Secondly, after all the storage silos are emptied, the quicklime is spread underneath, and then the reed mats are spread to prevent insects, rodents and moisture.
Because Ali Gu betrayed, it also means that the scale of the future war will be even larger, and what is even worse is that Wang Ju's time is tight, and these two countries must be resolved within two or three years, and grain and grass will undoubtedly become the top priority.
This is also the reason why the front-line forces are so tight, and Wang Ju did not let the front-line generals send a large number of strong men and horses into the army. Xia received it, and if it is delayed in the past ten days, a lot of food will be wasted. The price of a bucket of millet in Shaanxi is only ten yuan, and a bucket of wheat is only thirty yuan, but it was transported from the Central Plains, even if a large number of prisoners of war were used to do labor, the cost of each bucket also reached two hundred yuan, which can be regarded as Wang Ju's scheduling method, during the Qingli War, because of the urgency of time, a lot of waste and greed for ink, each bucket of millet transferred to the front line can reach four hundred yuan, and the highest time can exceed more than one thousand yuan! Moreover, many grains are still spoiled and moldy old grains for many years, or the grains are mixed with a lot of sediment.
Then the ministers said that the front-line soldiers were cowardly, and after eating such food, would the soldiers still be in the mood to fight?
That is, the grain of each household has not been harvested, at least ten stone of wheat, even if there are five stones of wheat, there are forty buckets (one Hu ten buckets, one stone may not be ten buckets, the bucket is the capacity unit, and the stone is the weight unit). Forty buckets of wheat were purchased from Shaanxi Road, and it would cost only 1,000 or a few hundred yuan, and if it was transferred from the Central Plains, it would be more than 8,000 yuan!
This order is not only implemented in the storage warehouses in the capital, but also in all parts of the country, especially in the northwest.
Therefore, Wang Ju deliberately took a look at the implementation of each warehouse.
After watching it for a long time, he even punished several officials who were derelict in their duties on the spot, and then went to Limin Prison.
Kumamoto is also going to Shaanxi Road, but for the time being, Zhang Ji still has to stay on Shaanxi Road to cooperate with Wang Ju to consolidate the fruits of the war some time ago. It was about after autumn that Zhang Qi would go to Shaanxi Road, and Kumamoto would leave the capital, and then Shen Kuo would be able to go to the Ministry of Industry.
But because of the defeat of Yongle City, it is estimated that Shen Kuo's official position as a squire in the Ministry of Works has also come to an end.
In these months, Shen Kuo will continue to preside over the Limin Supervisor, as well as various research and development.
Wang Ju deliberately came over to Shen Kuo and some craftsmen to answer difficult questions. In terms of specific practice, Wang Ju may not be very clear, but no one can match Wang Ju's theoretical knowledge. However, only with this theoretical knowledge can R&D find the right direction.
Limin Jian is debugging the new loom, and once it is in shape, it will start to make new looms for the imperial court and transport them to the south.
Wang Ju summoned Shen Kuo and the craftsmen one by one, so that if they didn't understand anything, even if they asked, some Wang Ju couldn't answer. But most of Wang Ju pointed the way forward.
I stayed in Limin Prison for a long time. It's getting dark. Wang Jucai returned home.
The concubine was packing her luggage in the house, and every time Wang Ju used to use soldiers, he left his wife and children in the capital and took them hostage in disguise.
But this trick still didn't work, but the family was separated, so this time Wang Ju simply brought the concubine and son to the northwest. No, I will still say what I should say, and I will find some reasons that I can't even think of to attack myself. What shouldn't be said is still won't be said.
The concubine also bought a large number of commercial goods in the capital, which would be brought to the other side by sea ship and distributed to her relatives.
The Dragon Boat Festival is here.
However, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Ju still did not leave. But it's not that Wang Ju lost his words, he is leaving, but now many policies are initiated by him, and they must be explained clearly one by one, in fact, since the sixth day of May, Wang Ju has stopped dealing with government affairs, but only concentrates on arranging the affairs behind.
The other thing is waiting...... And then the next important order!
Didn't disappoint him. On the ninth day of the fifth month, the news that he was waiting for reached the capital.
But the first piece of news came as a surprise to him.
Five roads on the northwest edge. Xihe Road is Miao, Lanzhou temporarily belongs to the jurisdiction of Xihe Road, but it will also be placed in the future, that is Hexi Road, the Hexi Corridor, in addition to Hexi Road, there are Lingxia Road, and even Qinghai Road, which is also Wang Ju's proposition, if it is divided into two large blocks, Qinfeng Road and Shaanxi Road, because the jurisdiction is too large, the first city is too far from the front line, if there is an accident, the response will be slow and dull, can not be dealt with in time. In the hands of the state armies, it cannot be well adjusted. If there are two main roads on the front line, then the commander has too many troops in his hands, what if there is a change? Therefore, it is cut into a number of edge roads, which is not only convenient for timely coordination of the troops of several states to deal with contingencies, but also prevents some ambitious people from taking control of one side, and then coordinated by the Yongxing army in the rear, and the northwest will be peaceful and peaceful in the future.
Therefore, Lanzhou will be very important in the future, and Wang Ju has always pressed Wang Wenyu and Li Xian in Lanzhou, but in fact, the status of these two people is no less than that of Miao Zhi.
Then to Jingyuan Road Zhangqi, Yanyan Road Miao Zhu, and all the way, Fulin Road, Fuzhou is a famous general, Linzhou is the first general in Hedong, Zihu, these two people are also very capable of fighting.
Compared to these people, no matter the qualifications or military exploits, the Seed Master Dao is a little out of the way.
Wang Ju said that after Zhang Qi, the country may reuse the Dao of Seed Masters, and it will be picked up from generation to generation, but Wang Ju said that it doesn't work, and it has to be played.
Just like Wang Ju said in the past, the eight sons of the seed family, the kind of friendship is the most high, but for a long time, everyone suddenly believed and doubted, no matter how independent the seed is, but the seed is really powerful in martial arts, is the kind of friendship more powerful than the seed brother?
It wasn't until the victory of Taoshui a few days ago that everyone recognized this sentence.
The actual cultivation of the Tao is excellent in the south, but how many of those indigenous people in the south take it to heart?
And he saw that the troops on the side of Hengshan were empty, not only the troops in Yanzhou on the side of Hengshan were empty, but also the troops in Xiazhou, Youzhou, and Yinzhou were not much, and the troops left behind in the forts were less than a thousand, and some were only one or two hundred.
There is also the summer harvest on Huanzhou Road is almost over, at least the winter wheat less Fan households will harvest wheat and barley together, grain and grass are very important, and Wang Ju has given this order to the commanders of several roads on the edge of the border, no matter what, the summer harvest cannot be delayed.
But now there will be no delay in the summer harvest.
And after the victory of Gyeongju, Wang Ju invaded part of the Hengsan area in front of Gyeongju, which also became a favorable condition for conquering Yanju.
The teacher took the initiative to ask Zhang Qi to send troops to Yanzhou.
Although he was the commander of Huanqing Road, Wang Ju's edict said that when the war began, Huanqing Road must be controlled by Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi thought about it and agreed.
At the end of April, the division road gathered some strong men and strong horses, and most of the troops on Huanqing Road were transferred to the front line of Jingyuan Road to fight, and wanted to attack Yanzhou, but the troops were insufficient, so they had to gather strong men and strong horses.
Then he told the situation about these strong men and horses.
Since the beginning of the battle of Vaxia, the heaviest loss is the Yanyan Road, especially the battle of Yongle City, which almost made the Yanyan Road ten rooms and nine empty (in the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Western Xia wanted to exchange the prisoners of Yongle City for the Lanzhou Mizhi Saimen area, and only one hundred and fifty-nine people were collected when they were handed over, and only one hundred and forty-nine people were handed over, and the remaining two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians were killed, even if they were taken to the rear of the Western Xia, they were also tortured and killed in just a few years), followed by Jingyuan Road, Jingyuan Road was harmed in the hands of Gao Zunyu, and they were drowned by the ice water of the Yellow River outside Lingzhou City.
So we have to talk about it, otherwise we don't have enough confidence.
Then the three armies assembled, and suddenly the troops went out of Hengshan. Where did the Western Xia have any troops on the side of Hengshan to resist? It's only three or four days. The path of the planter is like a broken bamboo. Captured Yanzhou again, and learned the Jingyuan Road, forcibly transferred the local people to Huanqing Road, and did not need to transfer to Weiyuan, the two roads in the north suffered heavy casualties, and a small half of the families of these martyrs were mobilized and moved to the other side, and the vacated space was enough to settle the people in the Yanzhou area. However, unlike Lingzhou, Lingzhou is deep in the belly of the enemy. There were more or less some Western Xia officers and soldiers in the Helan Mountain area, so the Song army hurriedly destroyed the city, burned houses and crops, transferred the people, and then evacuated Lingzhou.
The situation in Yanju was much better, and the planter even ordered them to bring more grain to Gyeongju, and then the officials arranged to disperse it to various villages and villages, and even because of the abundant time, there was enough room for reaction. The seed master also mobilized the soldiers and civilians on the front line to come to Yanzhou again to transport green salt. Not only did the green salt more or less subsidize some military expenses, but the more green salt was transported, the more green salt smuggled in the future would be relatively reduced, which was equivalent to reducing the income of Western Xia in the future.
However, when the imperial court received the news, the people had not yet moved, and they had not launched the front-line army and civilians to transport green salt, and had just conquered Yanzhou City, but because they could not draw troops, the Liang family had to look at the ocean and sigh in Xingqing Mansion, and watched Yanzhou being captured by the Song army.
It was a bonus.
The biggest surprise is still in Huizhou.
After receiving the news of the Battle of Dingxi City, especially the news of Yuzang Huama's fraudulent surrender, Liang Yi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
However, now their soldiers and horses are very dangerous, they can't attack Dingxicheng, Xixia and Tubo are still fighting separately, Tubo is a little better, especially on the Xixia side, the main army of Jingyuan Road has basically pacified Tiandu Mountain, slowly southward Qu Ling Mountain, Lanzhou still has a strong Song army, from Dingxi City to Pingxi and gathered a large number of Song troops, 100,000 Xixia soldiers and horses stay outside Pingxi, as if staying in a pocket.
Even if the Song army is not encircled, this line will not do anything.
Liang immediately ordered a retreat.
But at this time, he didn't realize that the danger was coming, after all, there were so many troops on Jingyuan Road, and a few officers and soldiers came to Dingxi City, and at the same time, the battle of Mingsha City seemed to have dispatched sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, and how many troops could there be left, I am afraid that for this battle, Jingyuan Road even used strong men and strong horse archers.
He took it for granted that although the battle was magnificent, he really didn't use many strong men and horses, and he didn't even delay farming and production.
However, in this pocket, it is still very dangerous, and it must be withdrawn to Hexi to ensure safety. But when you arrive at Hexi, a few ferries of the Yellow River, don't think about Lanzhou side, the nearest ferry is to withdraw from Huining Pass to the north, cross the Yellow River from the ancient beacon platform on the bank of the Yellow River, this line is a full 140 miles, and most of them are rugged mountain roads, plus the retreat of 100,000 troops, extremely slow.
So you have to hurry up, but as long as you cross the Yellow River, that side is where the Zhuo Luo Jian army of Western Xia is located, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses will be safe.
The slaughter begins.
Indeed, in the battle outside Mingsha City, the Song army used sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, but most of the troops were the troops brought by Zhang Shouyue and Qin Gui from Huanqing Road.
At the time of the Battle of Dingxi City, Yao Xiong, Guo Cheng and other generals took 30,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at night and began to sneak towards Huizhou.
Just when the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Western Xia were still more than 40 miles away from the ancient Fengtai ferry, Yao Xiong took 30,000 soldiers and horses to kill a place called Shimigou.
Then, Wang Guangyu and Li Xian came from the west with soldiers and horses and entered the battle.
At this time, Liang Yikui's troops still had the advantage, but the morale was depressed, the two sides were equal, and the two Song armies also consciously surrounded them, rather than a life-and-death showdown.
Liang Yiqi's army was dragged in this ravine by the two Song armies.
In the afternoon of the next day, the generals of Pingxi and Yuzang Huama arrived with more than 30,000 troops, and the arrival of this new force made the three-way Song army officially attack.
In fact, even now, the strength of the Song army is still not as large as Liang Yi's troops, but the Song army has won many victories, the morale is high, the morale of the Xia army is generally low, and the Song army is even more famous generals, many generals are unstoppable, and the Western Xia army began to retreat after a while. Seeing that his army was about to collapse, Liang Yiqi had no choice but to give the order and forcibly break through to the north.
Rushing all the way to the ferry, which was still under the control of the Tanguts, Liang Yikui immediately ordered the river to be crossed.
It's just a regular ferry crossing though. There weren't many ferries. I had to ferry, one by one. Later, the Song army continued to attack, causing some soldiers in Western Xia to start killing each other in order to rush to cross.
The more chaotic it is, the slower it will be.
Until the next day, a third of the soldiers and horses were barely crossed.
But an even worse killing appeared.
When Liang Yikui hurriedly retreated with the army, the Song army in Tiandu Mountain also began to march, and the troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Miao Lu. Crossing the Yellow River, repeatedly disposing of the garrisons of the Western Xia in Hexi, and blocking the Western Xia army that crossed the Yellow River, Yao Ji led an army south to participate in the Battle of Gufengtai.
Under the repeated slaughter of the Song army's five-way soldiers and horses, Liang Yiqi brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, and less than 20,000 soldiers and horses could go back, nearly half of which were scattered deserters, and they also used the cover of the mountainous terrain to escape the search and capture of the Song army.
After the Battle of Gufengtai. The remnants of the entire Western Xia country only had about 100,000 troops. Of course. It would be difficult to say if the elderly, children, and women were also conscripted into the army.
However, there were still hundreds of thousands of Ding Zhuang in Western Xia, and Liang Yikui faced this dangerous situation, so he had to order the whole country to recruit troops again one after another, not to conscript them into the army, but to increase military service.
In the second year, the number of the Western Xia army, including the conscripts, barely reached nearly 400,000, almost "everyone is a soldier", but don't take it seriously, some conscripts don't even have weapons, and they also destroyed the agricultural production of the Western Xia, making the poor economy of the Western Xia even worse.
And because of this battle, Western Xia lost the entire Tiandu Mountain, Quwu Mountain and Huizhou area.
Later, Zhang Kai ordered the construction of Guan Castle on both sides of several ferries in Hexi, with Guan on that side and forts on this side, and Shengsheng controlled several ferries.
There are many places suitable for human habitation in Hexi, and further north is the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties, and the ancient Great Wall is the desert to the north.
However, most of the ancient Great Wall has now collapsed and cannot play a defensive role, otherwise Zhang Qi may take advantage of a big victory this time and take down this Hexi region, and take Xixia and the Hexi Corridor in half.
However, this long and narrow area was only more than 200 li wide and only a few dozen li at its narrowest point, because the Song army had choked several ferry crossings and could carry out a deadly attack on this long and narrow corridor at any time.
And because of the natural danger of the Yellow River and the steepness of Tiandu Mountain, in this area, the Song army has been in the absolute upper hand that can be attacked and defended, just like when the Western Xia controlled the entire Hengshan region and did to the Song Dynasty......
However, when the Song army killed Liang Yiqi's soldiers and horses, Ali Gu was given room to escape, and he did not dare to escape in the direction of Hezhou, but the Song army was relatively empty in the direction of the Niche Valley, so Ali Gu took the remnants of the defeated army and took this opportunity to flee back to Huangzhou.
However, he also suffered heavy losses this time, bringing with him 90,000 soldiers and horses, and only 60,000 soldiers and horses when he returned.
As for Taozhou, it was taken back by the Song Dynasty, but for Aligu, this is just the beginning.
…………
Dong Yu was seriously ill and entrusted state affairs to Ali Gu, but was opposed by four people, Xinmu, Wen Xixin, Xiba Wen and Qingyi married a ghost chapter.
These four are all important figures in Tibet, the first is the Xinmu clan, Dong Yu has four wives, the Khitan princess Ling Jiemo, then it is not the same thing, and his Uighur wife, that is, Ali Gu's biological mother, but she also has no right to speak.
In addition, there are also the Xinmu clan and the Dong clan, which is the result of political affiliation, but it is these two wives, the powerful Dong family, the Xinmu clan, and the Dana clan that have become Dong Yu's right-hand men. But now that the Dong family is also dead, the Xinmu family is the most expensive.
As for Wen Xixin, it is the Wen family in Miaochuan, and the grandfather of the Wen family is the Wen Qiqi who was once imprisoned, and now the Wen family's strength is not as strong as Wen Qiqi, but it still controls most of the fertile Michuan region (in the second year of Yuanyou in history, Ali Gu detained Wen Xixin, and the Wen family officially went downhill).
Xibawen is bigger, his grandfather is called Solid Yong, and he is the elder brother of the Hipsters, as long as it is from his line, it is all from the Zampu line.
After becoming the Tubo Zanpu, the solid Yongzhi controlled the Henan region (the area of Guide Tongren) centered on Jishi Mountain (Anima Qing Mountain), so the Tibetan part of this area is also called the solid Yong throat, after the death of the solid Yongzhi, it was passed on to his son Bilu Zanali, and after the death of Bilu Zanali, it was passed on to Xibawen. The strength of this department should not be underestimated, including Qingyi Jiegui Zhang, who originally belonged to Xi Ba Wen's subordinates, and the relationship between the Xin Mu clan's maiden family, the Xin Mu clan and the Zhana clan, has always been very good.
Some people say that Tibet is not a country, but a Buddhist union. This statement is inaccurate. Hehuang and Tibet can be regarded as a country. It's just a tribal federation of states.
All ethnic groups admit it, even if it is Li Lizun and Wen Qiqi, they also have nothing to do, and all ethnic groups do not admit it, even if it is Ali Gu who was ordered by Dong Yu to pass on the throne, it cannot be regarded as the co-owner of Tubo, so after Dong Yu's death, Ali Gu did not report his funeral for two years.
It is not unreasonable for the Xinmu clan to oppose it. Tubo is a coalition country dominated by all ethnic groups, and Ali Gu is not Dong Yu's biological son, that is, there is no blood of Zampu, and if it is not recognized by all ethnic groups, Tubo will be torn apart because of the establishment of Ali bones. Although Dong Yu has no biological son, there is more than one person in Tubo who has the blood of Zampu, not to mention Xibawen, it is really not good, go to Hezhou, Qinzhou, Taozhou, and choose one of the brothers and nephews of Mu Zheng to be the new Zampu. Now that the Song Dynasty has a good relationship with Tibet, I believe that the Song Dynasty will also raise its hands in favor. Then Tibet can be stable.
In fact, Xinmu's suggestion is still very long-term, it is to support the Ali bone, in the history of a few decades, Tubo was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, and then the Jin people went south, the country completely disappeared in the long river of history.
Due to the opposition of the Xinmu clan, the situation of Ali Gu was very tense for a time, and in the face of this embarrassing situation, an unexpected little person appeared, that is, the Khitan princess Ling Mojie, who teamed up with Ali Gu to kill the Xinmu clan. They are all Dong Yu's wives, how can they deal with Ling Mojie?
The tribes were dumbfounded, but the resentment was even greater.
It was at this time that Ali Gu won a good opportunity, and after the death of Bilu Zanali, the Henan tribes established Xi Bawen as the prince, but at that time Xi Ba Wen was still very young, and his uncle Lang Jiejian assisted in governing the government. But with the strength of the ghost chapter, Lang Jiejian had a conflict with the ghost chapter.
Ali Gu took the opportunity to secretly send someone to bewitch the ghost Zhang, the ghost Zhang was helpless, he could fight, and there were many strong warriors under him, but there was no name, there was no righteousness without a name, under the pressure of Lang Jiejian, the ghost chapter did not object to Ali Gu, and immediately took refuge in Ali Bone, and expelled Xibawen, and also opened the road to Taozhou.
With the help of the ghost chapter, Ali Gu was able to settle the various departments of Huangzhou and Tubo a little.
It just so happened that Liang Yikui sent an envoy to ask for unity, and in the heart of Ghost Zhang, he thought that Western Xia was still very strong, despite the defeat of Pingxia City, but what about the original? Wouldn't Yongle City win more brilliantly?
And after the Song Dynasty destroyed the Western Xia, would it turn around and deal with Tibet?
So the two sides hit it off.
But if Ali Gu wins this battle, and gets Taozhou, Hezhou, and Xizhou, and his prestige is unparalleled for a while, then the Tubo tribes will be able to successfully integrate him. But now...... It is also for this reason that with such a big scheme, he only gathered 90,000 soldiers and horses, and even the infantry army came out, because many tribes did not cooperate, such as Wen Xixin, when he heard that he was going to the Song Dynasty, he immediately refused and did not send a single soldier.
Therefore, Wang Ju said that this is the best time to conquer Huangzhou.
However, the imperial court had limited knowledge of the news of Tubo, and Wang Wenyu sent scouts to secretly collect information from Tubo and quickly handed it to the capital.
According to this information, Wang Ju asked Song Zhong to pass on the book to Yu to hide the hemp and go to Lanzhou, and then sneaked to Tubo with the edict.
The first stop was Wen's.
After Wen Qiqi was killed, Wen's strength was still very strong, and he didn't dare to start, and Wen set up Wen Qiqi's son Wen Na Zhicheng to become the patriarch, and under the pressure of the Wen family's lineage, Wen's strength was declining, so Wen Na Zhicheng continued to show favor to the Song Dynasty, they were all in Gumiaochuan, and the Song Dynasty was not good to start directly, and they could only canonize some official positions. After the death of Wenna Zhicheng, Wen Xi was heartbroken, and he also sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to show goodwill.
That is, the relationship between the Wen family and the Song Dynasty has always been good, but it can't be taken seriously, this is forced by the Na family.
However, compared with Dong Yu, Ali Gu is more forced, and it has reached the point of turning against him.
Therefore, the imperial court listened to Wang Ju's opinion and canonized Wen Xixin as a prince, anyway, he is an idle official, so give it a lot.
Song Zhong also brought a sentence to Wen Xixin for Wang Ju, Ali Gu will be defeated in this expedition, and he will be angry and ashamed after defeat, he will not dare to take Xiba Wen out of anger, but dare to take you out of anger, do not leave your tribe, otherwise it will be more auspicious.
Wen Xi understood in his heart, thanked him again and again, Song Zhong set off to the second station, it was not Xiba Wen, this person was the orthodox descendant of Zampu, with many forces and a certain appeal, Wang Ju didn't want to get rid of a tiger and give birth to a wolf.
Moreover, Wen Xixin is at the foot of Jishi Mountain, and the road is too far away to be able to contact him for a while.
The second stop is the Xinmu clan and the Guna clan, these two clans are also very powerful, because of the death of the Xinmu clan, the two clans have a great hatred for Ali Gu.
So the imperial court canonized some official positions of the patriarchs of the two clans, and also said that in the future, the imperial court will eradicate this rebellion for Tubo, and at the same time support a person with orthodox Zampu blood as the new Zampu of Tubo.
But this is not a lie, once the Tubo in Huangzhou is pacified, Wang Ju may find a person who is relatively weak and close to the Song Dynasty among Mu Zheng or other people's descendants, and set him up as Tubo Zampu, but after this Zampu is established, he will be transferred to the capital immediately.
It's symbolism and appeasement.
Song Zhong only said half of it, and the two clans couldn't imagine it, and after hearing it, they were overjoyed, and Ali Gu retreated westward from Xizhou in embarrassment, and Song Zhong had returned to Lanzhou.
His line of work is a deadly journey, worthy of 50,000 elite soldiers!
Before Wang Ju left the capital, he had already made a move against Huangzhou Tubo...... (To be continued.) )
