Chapter 486: Mai'an
"Yao Ji asked Liu Yu to send reinforcements to Yanzhou and stationed in Huachi Village, and asked Liu Yu to use a fast horse to ask me to send troops to Fengchuan Fort again."
"It's a good method, but it's hard." Zhang Qi said.
The problem with Huachi City is that it must be kept low and not hateful, so that the Western Xia army does not surrender to Huacheng City, otherwise the plan will be declared a failure. Now Han Jiang and Guo Kui's attitudes are a little ambiguous, it is one thing to send troops or not, it is another thing to send troops, and it is another thing to send troops when the troops will arrive.
The road opened by Wang Ju is still there, and even after Wang Ju left, many merchants and pedestrians began to walk down that road.
However, how long did it take to assemble and mobilize the army, then arrive at Fumasa, and then arrive at Huachi City?
And the army in the rear.
More than 30,000 Paugeot in the rear were divided into four brigades. Among them, Liu Changzuo and Wang Junwan's troops reached 24 battalions, which once made the other brigade generals a little unhappy. But in the end, after Wang Ju said the plan, there was no opposition.
Because these two brigades have the largest number of people, they can both be used to launch a general battle. At that time, without a strong army, it was impossible to decide the outcome of the victory.
The reason why it is now placed in the rear to save the burden of food and grass is to arrange refugees for the government by the way, and third, not to alarm the enemy.
The Song Dynasty has few troops, so let's go deeper.
In addition, there are two brigades, one is the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion in the hands of Chongyi, which is also useful, and it will come in handy now, and they will go to Huanzhou soon.
First, the officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion in Li Kezhong's hands are also used to prevent the enemy from penetrating deep into Huai'an Town, so the troops in Li Kezhong's hands must be immediately put into Gyeongju. But it's not Fengchuan Fort!
If you want to reach Fengchuan Fort without alarming the enemy, there is only one way. Inserted from Ningzhou to Fangzhou. Then insert from Fangzhou to Zhiluo. Then enter Fengchuan Fort, but how many detours did it take like that? Is there still time?
Therefore, there is only one way, to enter Mt. Meridian directly and insert it from the rear of Gyeongju to Bongcheon Fort. But if you don't get it right, you'll be scared. Besides, can only the officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion play a deterrent role?
Since Wang Ju heard the news, he has not come up with a good way until now.
"The main reason is that Han Gong and Guo Gong have a lot of ideas." Zhang Qi sighed.
If Han Jiang and Guo Kui fully cooperate. Then there are no problems. Two armies were immediately sent from Yeonju, one from Zifu to Hwachi Town, and the other from Zhiluo to Fengchuan Fort. As long as they assemble quickly and do not need them to bring grain and grass, then they can arrive before the Western Xia army can beat the idea to the two forts. This must require that one is fast, and the other is that there are many troops coming, so the Tanguts will automatically shrink their troops to Liyuan Fort, and the trouble will be solved.
But this is not possible.
It's not that Han Guo is selfish, will Guan Jian believe that Wang Ju can defeat the 300,000 Xia army?
Wang Ju said: "It's really not good. Let Liu Changzuo go to Fengchuan Fort. ”
"That's not right, even if there are reinforcements coming from the rear. I don't know how many there will be, and the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements coming from the rear is also doubtful, and there is no general to lead ......," Zhang Qi said worriedly.
The reinforcements sent by the Yongxing Army will also have Baojie and forbidden soldiers, but the problem is that they are all in the rear, far less fierce than the real border army, and not as simple and united as the tens of thousands of Baojie troops of Zheng Baiqu, and even the armor and equipment are also problematic.
"Yao Wuzhi made a mistake this time."
"Brother Qianfu, if I were there at the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a choice. After all, Yao Ji had been stationed at Liyuan Fort for several years. ”
Zhang Ji was speechless, such a huge plan will always change when it is implemented, so Zhang Ji sat in Gyeongju City and kept repairing the government, so that the war situation would develop in the direction of his plan. However, they didn't expect that it would be Yao Yu's mistake.
"Those fanzi in Guojiazhai have harmed people a lot this time, and how much wealth can they have in their hands?"
Maybe a few years have passed, Guojiazhai has developed rapidly by relying on the advantages of the terrain, and it is indeed much better than the life of the people in the surrounding villages, and there is a little more money in their hands.
But is their wealth really wealth? I'm afraid that it is the wealth of that patriarch, and when he arrives in the capital, he is not even a third-class household. The wealth of the entire stockade added together is not enough to average out this battle, and the consumption brought by tossing for an hour is too much.
"They have been living in front of Liwon Fort, and they have not gone far, and the farthest ones are at most used as mules on their backs, going to Hengshan to sell illicit salt, or to Gyeongju City. Like a frog in a well, how much insight can you have? When Wang Ju said this, he suddenly thought of "human appearance", but Di Yong seemed to be coming to the northwest for the first time, even if Di Yong could get some of his Lao Tzu's inheritance, how much military talent could he exert when he first arrived?
As for Zhang Qi, he simply filtered Di Yong out of his mind.
Maybe Di Yong may not let Zeng Gongliang be sent to the front line.
Zhang Qi suddenly said: "Zi'an, it's really not good, immediately send someone day and night, ride a fast horse to Qinzhou, and summon Miao Zhu." It should be urgent. ”
"Summoned Miao?"
"At least it's stronger than the Yongxing Army, the generals we don't know the roots. In fact, our plan was also a little wrong, even if there was no Yao Ji to rescue the villagers of Guojiazhai, the enemy had too many troops, maybe when the long-term attack on Rouyuan Village could not be stopped, we would also shift our attention to Huachi and Fengchuan Fort. ”
If Yao Ji didn't provoke the Tangut people this time, the Tangut people wouldn't share their forces with Hua Chiqi, where was not the main battlefield where Liang Yi was buried. It was Yao Ji's anger this time, and Liang Yi's burial under Dashun City suffered a big loss, so he was furious and sent nearly half of his troops to Liyuan Fort.
As for the Tangut people who went to Liyuan Fort, they may not pay attention to Huachiqi, this possibility is too small.
This is Zhang Ji taking the initiative to relieve Yao Ji, otherwise Yao Ji will not be meritorious after the war, but will have a fault.
Wang Ju was silent for a while and said, "Then summon Miao to teach it." ”
This is also a helpless strategy, even if Miao Zhi comes, most of the battles are about to break out, and then what...... If you continue to fight, you will not know the general, and you will not know the soldier. Moreover, Liu Changzuo's army went to Fengchuan Fort, which was clearly telling the Western Xia people to pay attention to the movement on the other side of Meridian Mountain. And then the scout came, and took a sneak peek, ah. There are still so many Song troops in Ningzhou. Can it not affect?
So the two were silent for a while. Re-enactment.
Sleepless nights. Before dawn, Wang Ju called Liu Changzuo and immediately ordered Liu Changzuo to lead his 24th battalion of Baojie to open the dial.
Liu Changzuo was puzzled, and Wang Ju briefly explained the reason and the future arrangements. Liu Changzuo was also speechless, but it could only be so, and the camp must be allocated soon. Otherwise, today the Tangut scouts probe. Tomorrow we will be able to divide our troops into Fengchuan Fort. That is, in less than twenty hours, it was necessary to march more than 160 miles to reach Fengchuan Fort. More than 10,000 troops, in this kind of weather, drove more than 160 miles in such a short period of time...... However, in the face of this change, what can Liu Changzuo say, at least it is stronger than Wei Qingzong's sad guy, he will soon use less than a thousand troops to defend the dilapidated slush fort for two days.
Liu Changzuo left quickly. Time is too tight to delay.
Wang Ju asked Kuaima to go to Qinzhou again. This time is also urgent, and the main thing is time, Wang Shao will not let people go, but Miao Zhu will have a positive impact even if he comes a day early, and if he comes a day late, the situation will deteriorate by a point.
Zhang Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Zi'an, you can't be regarded as a god of war." ”
At least not as a last resort.
Wang Ju also smiled: "Brother Qianfu, I'm not, and neither are you." ”
It's not that Wang Ju is not the god of war, but Zhang Qi is not the god of war now. The successive battles will be of great help to the growth of Wang Ju's military cultivation, but in terms of height, Zhang Ji's height will inevitably surpass Wang Ju's in the future. This is talent, just like Su Dongpo's attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting, there are many, many people who work harder than him, but in ancient and modern times, there are several people at home and abroad who surpass him.
The sun is rising.
A hint of bright red sprinkled the earth.
Wei Qingzong stood at the head of the city, looked at the swarming enemies, and thought to himself, this is really a bloody dawn.
…………
In the capital, in the Yanhe Palace, dozens of important ministers sat at the bottom, and there was a stack of recitals on the table, all of which were bad recitals.
There are not only those in Gyeongju, but also those in Bashu.
First of all, it was a rush on the side of Bashu.
The three clans of Nanchuan and Ba County, Li Guangji, Wang Gon, and Liang Chengxiu, that is, the three clans located in the south of the Yangtze River, are the darkest and most cruel Kuixia barbarians who gave the Song Dynasty a headache!
Each of these three barbarian chiefs had thousands of tenants, and this landlord was a tenant, but unlike the tenants in the Central Plains, it was closer to the tribes and domestic slaves of the Tang Dynasty.
Coupled with the weak Huairou policy of the Song Dynasty, the power became more and more powerful. This courage is also gradually cultivated and indulged, and the boldness is getting bigger and bigger, so the more lawless things are being done. Although their tribe was still under the strong jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, they were lawless, so they dared to do anything.
First of all, the Han households were coerced to go to defect, what should I do, who made the Han people more industrious than people of other races, and if they wanted to be rich, they had to have a large number of Han people in their hands. But they are cruel by nature, and this trick doesn't work much. So the three of them directly coerced by force, if they didn't comply, that is, I asked you to come to me, and if you didn't agree, then they would be slaughtered and killed directly.
In fact, Han Qi is also going to cry, don't I just have hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land in my hands? At least ninety percent is obtained by righteous and bright means, that is, the remaining ten percent, at least not obtained by cruel means. But let Wang Ju attack again and again.
Compared with Li Wangliang and the others, am I still the prime minister of the three dynasties?
After all the killings were not finished, the people were killed, the family property and arable land were vacated, and the three forcibly occupied them and invested them as customers. The children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty also did this, forcibly occupying a large amount of fertile land, and enslaving the Han peasants to go to slavery, which was called surrender.
Well, even if the Han people are like dogs, then you have to pay taxes if you occupy this cultivated land. However, who dares to call for taxes. If they don't pay it, these cultivated fields are in the field book, and they have to pay taxes to the imperial court, so the township Li Xu had to pay them on his behalf. However, at this time, the exemption law had not yet been implemented, and the money and silk from the officials of Li Zhengxu were paid on their behalf, and the so-called payment on behalf of them was to apportionment to other Han households and some docile barbarian households. So the other people became poorer and poorer, and although the three were brutal, they had to go to the house in order to live a humble life. There were also some criminals who were pursued by the government and went to defect, well, when they arrived at Zhuangzi under their name, they were safe, and no officers and soldiers dared to chase after them.
But because of their cruelty, there were still very few Han people who took the initiative to defect, and a large amount of arable land could not be planted, but at this time their strength was really strong, so they sent troops to forcibly arrest hundreds of families and thousands of Han people for customers.
If this continues, the whole local area will be in chaos, and their families and relatives will keep going to the government to complain, there is no way, the local officials have to say to them, I will not pursue the rest, you hand over these hundreds of Han households.
But the three of them replied, "They are not Han Chinese, but fangs, and when these fangs heard that the government had sent people to inquire about them, they were so frightened that they fled, and we don't know where they fled." ”
The officials were afraid that something would happen, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Therefore, in the end, the local people were afraid of it and did not even dare to file a complaint. However, the three of them did something wrong, and they were afraid that the ghost would knock on the door in the middle of the night. Therefore, he bribed the local people with money to be his eyes and ears, and repaired forts and armor to strengthen himself.
Zhang Xu went to the local area to serve as a transfer judge, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he discussed with Sun Gou, the local judge of Duzhi, and prepared to attack the three chiefs. Then report back to the capital to get the capital to agree to their dispatch. On the other hand, he sent someone to convey a message to Li Guangji and the others, what you have done is too bad, immediately send your relatives to obey the order, and let the guests in your family live in peace, otherwise they will send troops to beg you.
The three did not listen at all.
On the imperial court, it took more than half a year to agree.
So Nanchuan County inspected Li Zongmin and instructed Li Qing to lead troops to the crusade.
However, these three people were widely disregarded, and the imperial court had not yet sent troops, so they got the plan of the imperial court to send troops. Therefore, he sent people to set up an ambush in Mulan Village, Li Zongmin was ambushed, and all three armies died heroically.
On the table is the report before and after this incident.
Under normal circumstances, then continue to send heavy troops to crusade, in the final analysis, isn't it just the three barbarian chieftains, how many troops can they have?
However, after reading it, Wen Yanbo and the others said together: "Your Majesty, there are police in the northwest, and it is imperative that troops can no longer be used in the southwest, and this battle is huge, and it will cost a lot of money, and it will not be possible to start a border matter in the southwest." Therefore, it is wise to reward them generously and let them renew themselves. ”
Intensify your efforts to buy An.
These three people are lawless, isn't it just to get more money, we give you this money, get this money, then we can stop it.
It is this crooked reasoning that ninety percent of ministers still think is right.
Wang Ju also did not expect that the Battle of Gyeongju would not become a tool to divert the contradictions of the law change, but would become the best excuse for Mai'an. However, Sun Gou is not stupid, he had long expected such an absurd situation in Sichuan.
Therefore, while sending out a report to report the news of Li Zongmin's sacrifice, he continued to use troops. Let the soldiers and horses of Ba County, Yuzhou, make Du Anxing secretly recruit native soldiers. First, to prevent Li Guangji's detectives from hearing the news, and secondly, to take advantage of the local people's hatred of Li Guangji, Du Anxing quickly recruited more than 1,000 native soldiers, and these local native soldiers hated the cruelty of the barbarians of the three tribes, so they fought bravely and quickly defeated Li Guangji's private soldiers. The officers and soldiers then pursued and killed Liang Chengxiu. burned the village where Li Guangji and Sun Chengxiu lived.
Later, the newspaper only said six words, and then burned the houses of the two clans, and what actually happened was both tough and ferocious, all the houses were burned down, the property was emptied, and the people of the clan who dared to resist were also killed.
Sun Gou was hard, Li Wang and the two were instigated, Li Guangji and Wang Gon had to retreat to the Black Cliff Ridge, but this ridge played a little role for the native soldiers, everyone was familiar with this kind of mountain warfare, but just in case, Sun Gou transferred hundreds of native soldiers from Qianzhou, and at night, they attacked and fought before the noise. Li Guangji's subordinates were defeated, and were forced to jump off the cliff to death by the native soldiers, and Wang Gon was captured.
The battle is over, and Sun Gou has built the Nanping Army with his land, and the territory has also stabilized, so what else can everyone say?
Could it be that the three barbarian chieftains who could be pacified by a thousand or hundreds of native soldiers actually forced so many important ministers to be so frightened that they had to spend a lot of money to buy peace? However, everyone will not feel ashamed, the decision is wrong, just treat it coldly......
But that happened later, and now Gyeongju is still the place of most concern, so let's go to Gyeongju, and the remaining dozens of reports are all related to Gyeongju...... (To be continued......) R1292
