Chapter 1113: True Purpose
Wang Yu didn't answer, and said with a look of remembrance: "How could I doubt Yang Zhi, when I reinforced Puzhou with Yang Zhi, I knew how powerful Yang Zhi and the iron cavalry under his command were, the Jurchen is known as invincible, Yang Yizhong, Zhao Yi's 20,000 cavalry will never be worse than the Jurchen, plus Yang Zhi's brothers are unparalleled in the world in a few steps, so the Dingbei army can be invincible." Even if the Western Xia Army is an elite Qi Fa, it will not be Yang Zhi's opponent, in my heart, Yang Zhi has the ability to capture the entire Hengshan. ”
Speculation and facts can be so far apart, Fan Zhixu didn't know that Wang Yu actually admired Yang Zhi for Yang Zhi until he heard Wang Yu describe Yang Zhi at this moment; Wang seemed to guess: "Could it be that General Wang wants to force Yang Zhi to capture the entire territory of Hengshan, and the intention of the Thousand Tribulation Gate of the Illusory Sea is exactly in line with your thinking?"
"The Great Song Dynasty is at a critical juncture of life and death, I can't sit idly by, the Jurchen can't be trusted, it's only a matter of time before Henan resumes war, so we must take the Western Xia in front of it at all costs. Wang Yu was obviously thoughtful, and said with embarrassment: "As long as the Western Xia is destroyed, even if the Dingbei Army is wiped out, it can be rebuilt, but King Yun, Yang Zhi, and Zong Ze don't see it this way, they still follow the strategy of accumulating grain and building a high wall." “
As a matter of fact, both the DPRK and the Central Committee knew that there were nine characters in total, and Wang Yu omitted the last three words "slow to claim the title of king"; this strategy was praised even by Song Huizong, and the facts also proved that every word was true, and the Dingbei Army now occupies the northwest alone, and its fame is shocking to the world. Fan Zhixu understood, Yang Zhi removed Wang Yu from his post and transferred him as soon as possible, but Yun Wang Zhao Kai did not react, all worried that Wang Yu would mess around; This official doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands Lord Wang's sincerity, is he interested in going to Runzhou to take up a post?"
Wang Yu shook his head and said: "I resolutely went to the book, not for myself, but for the Great Song Dynasty, even if I can't get King Yun's understanding, I will not leave the Dingbei Army." was transferred to Chang'an by Yang Zhi, I don't have the slightest blame in my heart, Yang Zhi will not do things that raise his self-respect, and like me, no one can shake his faith. “
Fan Zhixu and Wang's perception of Wang Yu changed greatly, Fan Zhixu's eyes moved from Wang Yu to Wang, and sighed: "But now that things are out of control, the court has made a decree, and it is no longer a matter of the Northern Army's family, but the wish of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Zhi can only send troops, there is no other possibility." “
"It's already fighting. Lu Fayuan walked in from outside the house and said: "The cavalry under Yang Zhi set out from Huanzhou, attacked the Western Xia team from Wuyuan County to Hengshan, and ambushed and killed 8,000 capturing troops at Malaixian, and the Western Xia army lost more than 10,000 losses. It seems that Yang Zhi is going to use the destruction tactics of the Western Xia army to treat the Western Xia people themselves, and Ren Dejing will be annoyed by the troops again this time. ”
This is a plan planned by Wu Jue to help Yang Zhi, just when the changes on Huanqing Road were boiling and everyone thought that they had entered the winter armistice, the Dingbei Army found another way and suddenly sent troops in winter. With the help of the light enemy of the Western Xia army in Dingbian Town, Yang Yizhong, Zhao Yimur, Wu Jue, and Li Yanxian led 20,000 cavalry to kill the uninhabited Dingbian army area, and once again attacked a large number of supplies from Yanchi in Wuyuan County to be transported to the Hengshan Mountains, capturing more than 2,000 Western Xia soldiers and civilians transported, and 120 carts of supplies.
It's just that Yang Yizhong strictly followed the plan, followed Wu Jue's suggestion, and let Zhao Yi's 5,000 cavalry act alone to continue to attract the attention of the Western Xia army; when the 10,000 capturing troops were chasing and killing, Zhao Yi's room was defeated, luring the captive army into an ambush circle, and in the ambush battle of gunpowder explosion and 10,000 arrows, Yang Yizhong's men and horses killed 8,000 capturing troops in a battle.
When Wang Yu, Fan Zhixu, and Lu Fayuan jointly felt Qingyang Mansion, they learned that Yang Zhi had personally gone to Huanzhou to command the battle, and Xue Guang and Zeng Yu, who were presiding over the military administration in Qingyang Mansion, had received the three of them. ”
Xue Guang and the two glanced at each other, and Xue Guang arched his hand and said: "Back to the words of the lord, Ren Dejing's attention was completely attracted to the Dingbian army, and the 20,000 captured troops who made up the gap lost 8,000, and Ren Dejing was in a dilemma at once, and had to transfer 15,000 cavalry from Wuyuan County and other places to personally reinforce the Dingbian army; ”
What, the real purpose is in Weizhou? Fan Zhixu and the three of them were taken aback.
In the fifth year of Xianping in the Great Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian, the leader of the Dangxiang clan, captured Weizhou, and after the founding of the country, he set up the Jingsai Military Department to take charge of defense affairs, making Weizhou an important political and military town in Western Xia. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Song army went north to enter Weizhou, and returned to the government of Western Xia when Sima Guang negotiated peace.
Looking at Wang Yu's skeptical gaze, Xue Guang explained: "Yang Shuai said that the opportunity to surprise Weizhou is only this time, and if it succeeds, it is good, if it is not successful, it should be exercised and familiarized with the geographical environment of Pingxia City." ”
Lu Fayuan asked worriedly: "In close combat, what you see is the general in front of the battle, is it okay for Chongbin and the others?"
Zeng Wei said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Lu, Chong Bin has been the coach of Xu Wen and others in Bianliang, Xu Wen and Yang Zhongwu are both people that Yang Shuai admires, and they have never been defeated in Gyeonggi Road." Among the eight generals on the right side of Longyou, only Xu Wen and Sang Zhong's evaluation can be compared with Wu Jue, and a Weizhou city should not be a big problem. Yang Shuai was in Huanzhou in order to command all kinds of troops and prevent Ren Dejing from being angry and going all out to kill and retaliate. ”。
Zeng said that he was originally Fan Zhixu's subordinate, but at this moment, Zeng said that the confidence he showed was that Fan Zhixu had never seen it, and the winning army was different, all of them were arrogant and fierce. Fan Zhi said with a false smile: "I once said, you are now long-standing, talking and laughing with soldiers." ”
I heard Yang Zhi and Wu Jue and others analyze the situation and say that the weakness of Western Xia lies in the population, if it is fought in a year, the population of Western Xia will be reduced by 300,000, and Western Xia will surrender without a fight. Therefore, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, as long as the population and materials of the other party are constantly eliminated, and the common people are divided into the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
