"Zichun, how did Wang Zhizhou know about Qu Zhen?" Liu Wenrun asked curiously.

"I don't know," Wang Shao was puzzled.

Wang Ju wrote a letter to Wang Shao, and quickly sent the letter to Wang Shao with a fast horse, and the main reason for the letter was to borrow Miao from Wang Shao first.

This requirement is easy to understand, when Miao Zhu was able to go to Sanyuan, it was Wang Juti yì, the two were very familiar, and Miao Zhu was very familiar with Zheng Baiqu's Baojie Army. Now that Huanqing Road is fighting, it is normal for Wang Ju to borrow Miao to increase the strength of the Song army.

However, Wang Ju borrowed a few more people in the letter, such as Zhang Shouyue. Zhang Shouyue became famous very early and can fight, but Zhang Shouyue is the governor of Qinzhou, can he borrow this? Moreover, Qinzhou is not Wang Shao alone, although he has the right to act cheaply as a "writer", but in fact he is still constrained by the governor of Qinzhou.

But now it's better, Wang Anshi was afraid that there would be another Li Shizhong in Qinzhou, so he transferred Han Zhen to Qinzhou. Everyone is their own person, so don't make any more trouble.

But even Han Zhen would not agree to lend Zhang Shouyue to Gyeongju.

Therefore, Wang Shao omitted this loan from himself without considering it, but Wang Ju borrowed two more generals, one was Zhao Long, a native of Qinzhou, who served as the commander of the edge archers at this time, and was very brave. But because he has not yet participated in the battle, his reputation is not obvious.

I don't know where Wang Ju heard about it.

Then borrow it.

However, another person~ puzzled him, that is Qu Zhen. He sent someone to inquire for a while, and only then did he know about this Qu Zhen. After Liu Wenrun came to Qinzhou, he selected generals, so he gathered the heroes and heroes of the countryside together, and then hung a copper coin a hundred steps away. And he had a sword. It is said to be the finest Momoxi sword worth more than 300 times.

All right. Wang Shao also has a Taoxi sword, that doesn't matter.

Then Liu Wenrun said, "Everyone, if any of you can shoot this copper coin, I will give this sword to whomever I want." At this time, Qu Zhen stood up and shot an arrow. This archery technique is too clever, you have to know how big a copper coin can be a hundred steps away?

This difficulty is undoubtedly a real one-hundred-step process.

At this time, Liu Wenrun was guarding the ancient Wei Village. Liu Wenrun appreciated Qu Zhen's archery skills very much, so he took Qu Zhen to his side as a personal guard and deliberately cultivated it. The people are in Guwei Village, but Wang Shao and Liu Wenrun are very puzzled, how did Wang Ju know about Qu Zhen.

Miao Zhu said on the side: "I heard that Qu Zhen likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, once he went hunting with his uncle to the border, and was suddenly besieged by a group of Xia people, Qu Zhen fought his way out of the siege, but when he turned around, he saw that his uncle did not break through, so he killed back again." Shengsheng rescued his uncle from more than 100 Xia people, and this incident became a good talk in the local area. About Ming Gong also heard about it. Hence the borrowing. ”

This is possible, after all, the soju workshop is equivalent to Wang Ju's, and there are many stewards who often go to Qinzhou to trade with the Fan people, and about these stewards heard about it, and it reached Wang Ju's ears.

"And what about this person?" Wang Shao asked.

It's not about martial arts, it's about military affairs. Since Wang Ju deliberately borrowed it, at least Qu Zhen would be a partial general, without military talent, it is still not enough to have martial arts alone.

"Medium." Liu Wenrun said.

Qu Zhen is a person he appreciates, of course, Liu Wenrun also hopes that Qu Zhen will get ahead, but if he wants to get ahead, he doesn't count, he has to fight on the battlefield. So what battlefield is easier to achieve than this battle in Gyeongju? Therefore, Liu Wenrun asked again: "Will Gyeongju repel the enemy this time?" ”

"Repulsion? You underestimated Wang Zi'an. Wang Shao said happily.

Whether it is Wang Shao or Zhang Qi, or Miao Zhi and Liu Changzuo, they all overestimate Wang Ju. Although Wang Shao was full of confidence, even Wang Shao did not dare to override Wang Ju in his military talent.

This reason...... There's no way to say it.

But Wang Ju really values Wang Shao, and he is full of kindness, and even mentioned one thing in this important letter, that is, many heavy generals died of gangrene, such as Di Qing, the later famous general Xu Da, and Wang Shao.

But what is this dorsal gangrene, it is a poisonous sore, why does it produce such deadly poisonous sores, one is the result of the hot weather, especially the soldiers, who still wear armor when it is hot, and march in some humid places, then it is easy to have fatal poisonous sores. There is also a situation, that is, when the sword is hit, the rust makes the wound infected, causing the wound to become inflamed and produce fatal sores.

Therefore, Wang Ju took the trouble to explain the cause of the back disease in detail in the letter, and said that the wound should be cleaned with special soju immediately after the war, and then the ointment should be applied, so that the chance of inflammation of the wound will be reduced, and it will not be easy to develop back gangrene.

In history, Wang Shao, who had a very miserable back gangrene, is said to have rotten flesh to see bones, and finally died of serious illness. This reason is mostly unrelated to the dampness and heat, because Wang Shao's main battlefield is in Xihe. But Wang Shao likes to charge into battle, although doing so will boost morale, but it may be because of this reason that his body was injured, and then the wound became inflamed, and that kind of malignant back gangrene appeared.

It's a pity.

If Wang Shao didn't die so early in history, Zhang Ji was growing rapidly, and the generals were also growing rapidly under the leadership of Wang Ju. A few years later, the Song Dynasty no longer had to worry about the generals.

However, Wang Shao felt a little funny and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Oh."

"Liu Dujian, the victory or defeat is not in Gyeongju, but in Huangzhou."

"How?" Liu Wenrun was stupid.

"I just received information that Dong Yu began to assemble the three armies. Why the three armies? Lanzhou, Liangzhou. ”

"I will understand, at this time, the troops in Xixia and Hexi are empty, so Dong Yu gathered the three armies and took the opportunity to plunder. In that case, the Western Xia would inevitably withdraw the Gyeongju army. Once withdrawn, Wang Zi'an would be able to defeat the Xia army. ”

"Exactly." However, how Wang Ju defeated the 300,000 army of Western Xia, Wang Shao also didn't know much, but seeing Wang Ju borrowing troops from him, he could guess that Wang Ju was playing a lot this time. He also said: "Dong Yu didn't have a good heart, the Western Xia had already transferred his troops from Hexi, and he didn't assemble until now, which was intended to let the Western Xia fight with our army, so as to plunder more wealth at the smallest cost." ”

This must be explained clearly, otherwise in the future, he will open the Bianxi River, and the imperial court will not allow anyone to use this to make a fuss. Look at how righteous people are in Tibet. But how did our Song Dynasty reciprocate? At this point. His thoughts were strikingly consistent with Wang Ju's.

But Wang Shao was not angry. Just like the battle between Tibet and Western Xia, the previous practice of the Song Dynasty was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The Western Xia came to the Song Dynasty to fight, and they were also happy to watch the excitement. This is the truth of the alliance between Tibet and the Song Dynasty.

Dare to love him, he regarded Lao Na as Jin Da and Hu Zhihu. However, although this understanding is a bit biased, the attitude of Tubo towards the Song Dynasty is indeed inferior from generation to generation.

"I don't know if Prince Enke expected it?"

"I expected it, and I asked about it in the letter." Wang Shaodao. Before the war, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi both guessed it, but Wang Shao also guessed it, so he sent scouts to infiltrate Qingtang. Otherwise, I didn't get the information so quickly, after all, there was a big river state in the middle.

Since Wang Ju has such ability, no matter how high the probability of winning this battle is, Liu Wenrun will not stop it, he immediately sent someone to call Qu Zhen.

But this time, Wang Shao also brought a small surprise to Wang Ju, that is, the five hundred horses that had been trained for a long time.

This number of people can't be too much, the most important thing at this time is to win time, so immediately this group of people will set off, rush to Qinzhou in the evening to rest, and set off again tomorrow morning. If the road is good, find a way to rush to Jingzhou to rest. If the road conditions are not good, then you can only rest in Longzhou. However, in any case, we must rush to Ningzhou the day after tomorrow. However, there are more troops, and resting at night is a big problem, whether it is Longzhou or Jingzhou, it is impossible to have so many inns, so you have to prepare tents, dry food, and other materials, and the speed will automatically slow down.

Although the number of people is small, all of them are tiger warriors.

Five hundred and eight people rode eastward, Wang Shao saw them away, but he was also playing a "small abacus" in his heart, he wanted to open the border river, but then he needed the assistance of powerful generals, but those who could fight and those who could not fight, he didn't know very well. Then this battle of Gyeongju is the best place to test.

Wang Ju can borrow, he can also "borrow".

…………

Liang Yibury still didn't come up with a good way to hit the city gate with a piece of wood, but on the tower, you can see that the Song people had already blocked the city gate with sandbags. We don't have to go out of the city, we just stay in the stockade.

Either hit the city wall, not to mention the collision wood of the Western Xia, or the well-built crash car of the Song Dynasty was lifted, and it was impossible to pose a threat to the city wall of Rouyuan Village.

If you want to attack the city, you should obediently climb to the top of the city.

Liang Yizhu also has a tiger cannon in his hand, but the problem is that the stone projectile is small and the lethality is not large, and the stone projectile is large, the speed of projectile is slow, and the range is not far. The only ones that really made a difference were the big Tiger Cannons.

On the contrary, more than 30 large and small tiger cannons in Rouyuan Village were paired with thunderbolts, which killed and injured a large number of Western Xia soldiers.

If you have a hundred large tiger cannons in your hands, that's fine. Liang Yi thought to himself. It's not wrong to think that way.

However, the current tiger cannon parts are complex, and the difficulty of manufacturing has also increased, and its process has long exceeded the level of Xixia.

So Liang Yizhu gave an order early in the morning, no matter who was standing on the head of the city, everyone must not be soft.

Thousands of prisoners of war standing at the head of the city can really make morale fall.

Therefore, the top priority is not to attack the city, but to kill these prisoners of war as quickly as possible, so that the three armies have no scruples. Then he immediately gave the order to cover the front with shield bearers, and the three armies dug up and down again to raise the earth mountain.

Anyway, the Song people's city gate is blocked, so there is no need to worry about them going out of the city to attack.

So from the second half of the night, the three armies of Western Xia raised the earth mountain mightily. It can't be said that Liang Yi is buried and tossed, and there are many soldiers. Just like when Ming Ho attacked Beizhou City, he could play as much as he wanted.

But Liang Yibury didn't know about it, Ming Ho had a good time, but in the end, he still didn't capture Beizhou City.

But after a few hours, the two earthen mountains did increase by nearly one meter, almost the same as the head of the city of Rouyuan Village.

"If it goes on like this, Rouyuan Village is a little dangerous." One of the commanders said worriedly.

If the height of Tushan definitely exceeds the height of Rouyuan Village, then this condescending advantage will be lost by the Song army in an instant.

"Don't worry," Li Sangou said happily.

If Liang Yibury really played like this, he would still be eager to do it. Although there are Xixia crossbows, the production of that kind of excellent Xixia crossbows is really very small, and most of them are earthen bows prepared by the soldiers themselves. Therefore, these two earthen hills must be very close to the city walls. The Western Xia Dantu raised the soil mountain, and it was so close, could the Song army not fight back? Just like in the second half of last night, in order to raise this meter, at least three or four Xia soldiers were shot by the Song soldiers and fell.

Although the enemy has a large number of troops and can continue to raise the earth mountain, the speed is very slow under the harassment of the Song army's bows and arrows. Besides, now that the soil is frozen, it is very difficult to extract the mud. By the time they had increased the height to absolute height, six or seven days had passed. Six or seven days later, can Liang Yibu still be so arrogant?

Liang Yibury also saw that it was too slow to go on like this, he didn't think that in six or seven days, hundreds of thousands of Xia troops would be in danger, but he couldn't wait, so when the sky brightened, he ordered to stop building the mountain, and let the archers climb the mountain under the cover of shield soldiers.

Groups of Xia troops carried siege ladders and moved closer to the city wall.

Instead of building mountains, they attacked the city instead.

That's easy to do, Li Sangou just prepared a big surprise for the Xixia people. (To be continued......) R1292
