Chapter 560: Please take credit

In another time and space, Zhang Ji will be more ruthless in the future, and he will only kill more Xia Jun than this time, not less than this time.

For the Tangut people, once they lost 300,000 soldiers and horses, it would be equivalent to triggering an unprecedented crisis. So the Liao State sent an envoy to poison Xiao Liang, the crazy Liang died, and Western Xia was settled.

But why did the Liao State only send an envoy over to poison the Empress Dowager of Western Xia? In fact, behind the scenes, the Western Xia magnates couldn't stand the madness of the Liang family, but they were courtiers and it was not easy to do it publicly, so they sent people to the central government of the Liao State to ask the Liao State to make a move, and then the Liao envoy came, but no one dared to come to stop it, so that the Liao envoy broke the Liang family's mouth and forcibly poured the poison down.

The Liao State may not want the Western Xia to perish, and having the Western Xia buffer is also beneficial to the Liao State.

However, it is not necessarily, the current emperor of the Liao Kingdom is the biggest Song fan in history, and he admires the Han civilization very much, and once said that he wishes to be a Chinese in the next life. I'd rather be a common man in the Song Dynasty than the emperor of the world's most powerful country......

So after poisoning Xiao Liang, the Liao State said to the Western Xia people that they should make peace with the Song Dynasty and stop fighting.

As soon as the Liang family died, they were repeatedly defeated, and the country was embarrassed, so the Western Xia sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to sue for peace, and the Western Xia sued for peace, and the Song Dynasty had so many peace-loving people, and the palace had a witch case, so let's negotiate peace. Xixia finally took a breath of vitality.

Ninety percent of this history is unlikely to happen again.

But it can be used as a reference.

Of course, there are some differences, at that time, the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty fought for a long time, the country's economy was extremely difficult, and Lanzhou and other places were also occupied by the Song Dynasty, and the Song army fought for a long time. Soldiers are more capable of fighting than they are now. Therefore, the Tangut form shì was worse than it is now.

But the rest can be reasoned from this.

There is no Songji. What about the Liang family?

She would not kill Liang Yi and bury her ninety percent, but it is not that there is no way to save her. In the face of this crisis, she has only one way, to take the initiative to give up power. If she doesn't give up the right, her position will be unstable. I believe that this wisdom Liang still has.

After ceding power, the ministers of the Lord and faction gained the upper hand, and as for the Liang family himself, he may have become the queen mother of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he has his name. No real rights. However, peace between the two countries may indeed come.

Sima Guang and others must like this ending, but will Wang Ju like it?

If peace really comes, then make peace, but that is not peace, but a chance to restore the vitality of the Western Xia. And the Northern Song Dynasty is about to enter the countdown......

Therefore, it is necessary to let the Liang clan mainly take charge of the government and continue to go crazy, so that the Song Dynasty can be slapped in the face again and again, so that the country can support the use of troops against the Western Xia.

Wang Ju put down the information and said to Wang Zichuan: "You go to Mengmen Sancha to give orders to Zhao Pu and General Guo Cheng." Let them pick out some elite horses and move in the direction of Qinggang Gorge, Zheqianghui, Mengjing, and Leshan. Pretend to be surveying the terrain, but remember not to get entangled with an enemy if you intercept them. ”

That's the real trickery.

Tens of thousands of Baojie troops will also retreat soon, the battle between Dong Yu and Ren Duo Lingding will not last too long, Dong Yu benefits are not good, Ren Duo Lingding is not very easy to gnaw, seeing that after the arrival of Western Xia reinforcements, at most a stalemate for a period of time, Dong Yu will withdraw to Huangzhou.

Then if the Western Xia gathered troops again, the number of troops in their hands was decreasing, and the battle line was long, some soldiers had to take care of prisoners of war, some soldiers even worked in person, and some soldiers maintained order. At that time, not only will the green salt be unable to be transported back, but even the construction of the fort will not be able to proceed.

This is what Wang Ju has been worried about, and Liang is crazy.

In the future, when spring also officially came to Gyeongju, the Tibetan people and strongmen in the army, the militia who participated spontaneously, and the edged archers and Baojie who cultivated the land should also be sent back. Then there will be fewer and fewer troops.

Of course, the crisis is not so serious, after Dong Yu's invasion, Xixia will divide troops to garrison Hexi, and there is also a Cai Ting who is not easy to mess with, but it is a pity that Zhao Wei and Han Jiang are torn apart, otherwise he will attack Tumen now, and Xixia will have to divide his troops in Beihengshan, so Wang Ju's pressure will be much easier.

So Wang Ju has this arrangement.

Can't move north, Zhao Tuo doesn't even attack Tumen, so maybe he partners with Wang Ju to plot against Hongzhou in Western Xia?

Therefore, to the west, to make the appearance of interest in Douling, as long as a large number of rangers continue to appear, it will definitely make the Tangut people have a kind of illusion, Wang Ju will continue to join forces with Cai Ting, take advantage of the momentum of the big victory, take Douling, just in connection with Wang Ju to capture this section of Hengshan, if so, the Song Dynasty will not only get the fertile Xiaochuan south of Xiaoguan, but also will have a strict threat to the Western Xia.

As long as this illusion arises, the Western Xia will inevitably send heavy troops to be stationed in the area of Xiangyikou, the Qingbian Army and Tiandu Mountain.

However, now that there are not many troops left in the Western Xia, then this crisis will naturally be eliminated.

Wang Ju said again: "After passing the order, you will go back to Gyeongju and tell Zhang Tongju to urgently collect hammers, iron hoes, and sledgehammers in the rear so as to speed up salt mining." At the same time, let the people in the rear participate, but in order to prevent congestion, bring some lime from the rear, scatter it in the middle of the road, and walk back and forth on the right side of the lime line to avoid blockage. ”

Salt is not worth much in Yanzhou, and it has to be transported back to the rear quickly.

Wang Zichuan immediately rode down.

Wang Ju looked at the east and thought to himself, the report and the roster of military exploits he wrote should have arrived in the capital.

Not only does the front worry him, but the rear also makes him feel worried.

…………

In fact, there were too many defeats, and the people of the Song Dynasty were to the Song Dynasty army as the Celestial Dynasty was to the national football team.

In fact, the Song army has been on the rise in recent years, that is, many bricks have repeatedly attacked Luo Wucheng, but the fact is that the casualties of the Xia army far exceeded that of the Song Dynasty, whether it is this time and space, or another time and space, although the battle of Luo Wucheng has brought pressure to Shaanxi and some of the people of Hedong Road, but Luo Wucheng has also been scorched everywhere.

This is a helpless strategy, under the condition that the Song army's combat power does not occupy an absolute advantage, they can only fight each other's blood value! Even Wang Ju is the same, but Wang Ju pays one or two percent of the blood value, and he can exchange it for ten percent of the blood value of Western Xia. It's just a comparison.

As for the people's livelihood, if you want to fight a war and take care of the people's livelihood, is that possible? Or buy Ann. Guan Jian Xixia can't buy An! That's what's important.

But such a big victory. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty. But it's rare.

And in this battle, Wang Ju used some things, and the skateboard was forgotten, and there were people in the Song Dynasty who read poetry and books, including Ouyang Xiu, who heard about it, and also remembered the record when he repaired the new Tang Dynasty.

The fireworks were used once, and it worked, but it only worked once. It is mainly used to make money, and with one more industry, it can feed many people, of course, there are very few people who can understand this truth in the Song Dynasty.

The main thing is that clairvoyance and flying, whether it is gliding into the sky or flying in a balloon, it is too incredible in this era, and it has also spread. These three things made this battle a layer of mythology.

So it quickly spread among the people.

A miraculous victory. When the news spread, wherever it went, people set off firecrackers.

As for the court, it is not as dark as Wang Ju thinks, there may be some people who don't like Wang Ju very much, and their minds are complicated. But most of the neutrals are still very much in favor, at least a big victory, better than a big defeat.

Although Wang Ju also used the troops of the nearby paths, they were only used nearby, not all of them. The difference in strength is 1 to 3, but the victory is so enjoyable, can you not be satisfied?

Therefore, among several bigwigs, Wang Anshi and Wang Qi praised their attitudes, Wu Chong praised slightly, and Feng Jing and Wen Yanbo were silent.

At this time, these people were in the Yanhe Palace, looking at the recitals written by Wang Ju and these meritorious service lists.

The casualties of the Song army in this battle were also heavy, including the seriously wounded, the casualties reached more than 29,000, not counting the minor wounded. Including the 86th battalion of Baojie brought by Wang Ju, there were 43,000 people, but now there are less than 40,000 people.

But no one is dwelling on this, at least not for now, because the enemy has a greater number of casualties. The number that Wang Jubao can accurately verify is more than 194,000, not the 200,000 as written by Han Jiang. This exploit also includes the suppression of the rebellion in Huanzhou, as well as a very small number of people of all ethnic groups who rebelled in Hengshan. The real Xia army, the number of prisoners and kills is only about 180,000, and this also includes the record of Yanzhou.

But Wang Ju also wrote that the actual casualty figure of Western Xia may be 20,000 higher than this, for example, during the Zhuqi defensive battle, the casualties could not be counted, and some deserters fled to the mountains and forests and died, and they could not be counted.

If it can't be verified, Wang Ju will not report to the imperial court.

This group also believes that including when he was in Zhihuachi County, the war exploits he reported would rather be narrowed down a little than exaggerated in order to be accurate.

Besides, this battle is enough, and it doesn't matter if the number of 20,000 is missing. However, among this number, how many prisoners of war, Wang Ju did not write a word. But everybody understands......

But this list of merit is very interesting.

The biggest credit is Zhang Qi, Wang Ju also deliberately explained the reason, half of the plan, he confused the enemy in Ningzhou, almost all of them were Zhang Qi in command, and now Wang Ju went to Yanzhou with a large army, and Zhang Qi was responsible for logistics in the rear, as well as the resettlement of the returning people, and the government affairs of Gyeongju, so in this battle, Zhang Qi almost played the role of Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

The second is undoubtedly Wang Junwan.

In this battle, his performance was too eye-catching.

The third is Zhao Zhong, that is, Li Sangou, who fought with 100,000 Xia troops in Rouyuan Village for more than ten days, and where did he bury Liang Yi. Otherwise, if it is changed to Huachi River, it may be Yanqing River, and the difficulty of the final battle will undoubtedly increase several times.

The second Gao Min, not only had the merits of Anjiang Fort, but also built an ice castle, and in the face of several times the enemy army under such fatigue, he also defended it. It is the closing of this gate that makes the situation on the battlefield favorable.

Then there was Wei Qingzong, the dead were the greatest.

The next thing is unexpected, not other generals, but Yan Da, if it is not Yan Da, do not want to drag the main army of Renduo Lingding under the city of Huai'an Town, if it is not for this drag, the situation of the Song army will become very bad, although Yan Da almost never fought with the Xia army before the battle.

Next are Dou Shunqing, Gao Yongneng, Liu Changzuo, Miao Zhu, Yao Lin, Liu Yan, Zhou Yongqing, Lin Guang, Liu Shaoneng, Chong Yi, Chong Gu, Zhao Pu, Yang Wenguang, and Yao Ji.

Seeing Yao Ji lined up so far back, these important ministers also didn't understand much.

Wang Ju didn't say much in the report, but Han Jiang wrote it in detail.

In fact, this is Wang Ju's kind cold treatment of Yao Ji, and he made a mistake. Behind Yao Ji are Qin Bo, Guo Qing, Yang Pei, Gu Yongping, Jing Sili, Zhao Yuqing, Yao Xiong, Qu Zhen, Zhao Long, Guo Cheng, Gui Niang Langburi, Li Kezhong, and Di Yong.

Yao Xiong, Qu Zhen and Zhao Long were a little aggrieved, but they were too young, and they were not the main generals, so it was reasonable to arrange for them. Yang Wenguang, He Bin, and Guo Cheng came late, and Jing Sili returned to the security army immediately after the fight, so they were also slightly behind. But in the Gyeongju Campaign, it is fair to evaluate the merits in this way.

Li Kezhong also dealt with it coldly, and the entire battle had nothing to do with him later.

Di Yong later woke up and cooperated with Zhang Qi to do a lot of things, Wang Ju's heart softened, and he also asked for credit for him, but put him at the back of the generals.

In addition to these main generals, there are more than 30 outstanding lieutenants and commanders, and Wang Ju also deliberately singled them out and asked for their military exploits.

The remaining officers and men of the three armies were evaluated by their respective commanders.

In fact, this ranking, it can even be said that it can become an important reference for the court to use generals in the future, after all, half of the generals who can fight on the entire Shaanxi Road are on this list.

In addition, the imperial court also had to be promoted, rewarded, and bereaved according to this roster.

As for how to reward, how to pension, and those generals who were promoted, this has nothing to do with Wang Ju.

And it will take a long time to verify such a long list.

However, two important figures are missing from this roster.

One is Han Jiang, Han Jiang is the prime minister who went down to preside over the situation in Shaanxi, and Wang Ju is not qualified to rank for him.

The second is himself, whether it is merit or demerit, let the big man of the DPRK and China speak.

However, he and Han Jiang were not included in the line, but it made many people think crookedly.

This is all put aside now, and everyone just looks at the other words on Wang Ju's report, that is, the three choices that Wang Ju said.

At this moment, Zhao Ji exhaled.

Wang Ju said that destroying Xia is the best policy, that is, the best choice now is to destroy Western Xia! Can this not make Zhao Ji think about it? (To be continued......)
