Chapter 814(2/2)
But this Bawujiao became a prisoner of Aligu, and he was not easy to kill. However, he was not polite to the local Tubo and Qiang leaders who were loyal to the Song Dynasty. After thousands of leaders or subordinates including Omu, they were all killed by Aligu.
Then he asked Gui Zhang to station troops in Changjiashan outside Taozhou City. Aligu himself sent someone to inform Liang Yiji immediately. We also took action and had already taken Taozhou. Soon we will join forces and attack Hezhou.
Liang Yiji is so angry that he agreed on this?
The original agreement was that Tubo sent troops to Hezhou, Xixia sent troops to Dingxi City, and Yu Zanghua Mali and cooperated with each other. Then the Song Dynasty would be surrounded by enemies and he could quickly take down Dingxi City, Lanzhou, Hezhou. But it turns out that now I am using troops here, and you have already gained benefits.
No wonder the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers of Pingxizhai were as stable as Mount Tai. How could Tubo use troops in Taozhou threaten the safety of this area?
However, he couldn't find any handle. Although he had an oath, did he formulate the rules for how both sides used troops?
Moreover, he himself has impure motives, and everyone is playing tricks, just to see who is smart.
The second piece of news was that the officers and soldiers of Jingyuan Road of the Song Dynasty suddenly sent troops to Mingsha City. Because Liang Yibi dispatched a large number of officers and soldiers to leave, the troops in Mingsha City were insufficient, and the city walls were not as tall and strong as Lingzhou. After only two days of persistence, they were attacked by the Song army and Mingsha City was lost.
Logically, Liang Yibi wanted to save Mingsha City, and the summer wheat harvest season soon came around Mingsha City.
But he let the Tubo people cheat, and now he is going to pull troops. There is no doubt that Tubo will not use troops to Hezhou anymore, so he will turn himself into a clown and make wedding dresses for the Tubo people.
However, he was also glad in his heart, not for being glad that Tubo was finally dragged into the water, but for being glad that except for the first day, the remaining ten days were just pretending and not making much sacrifice.
He thought about it and said that Mingsha City would be Mingsha City. It was an isolated city outside, located in a flat area, with no danger to defend. He did not believe that the Song Dynasty could take it but could still occupy it.
So an order was issued to further eliminate the foreign people close to the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was to divide the army into plundering, otherwise every day would be delayed, a large amount of food and grass would be consumed.
Pingxi City continues to be in a stalemate
Wang Ju laughed out loud.
Both Han Zhen and Xu were confused.
To be honest, Gui Zhang did this, which was unexpected by Wang Ju. In his expectation, either Tubo and Xixia would join forces to attack Lanzhou and Dingxi City, so he asked five brave generals to lead the five generals to the five most important fortresses in advance. When it was critical, some troops could be drawn from Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, or even from Deshun Army to support him.
Just get through it, and the critical drama is still there in Mingsha City.
Either the Xixia army was used to Dingxicheng, and the Tubo army used to Hezhou. In that case, the troops in Hezhou were weaker. After all, defense was the main focus, and the elite army was on the front line of Xixia, so there were loopholes everywhere, and the Deshun army's troops could not be supported. However, some troops could be drawn from Qinfeng Road. Similarly, as long as you can survive, the key is still on Mingsha City.
But I didn't expect Aligu to use troops to Taozhou.
However, even though I thought about it, it didn't work much. It only has so many troops and is mainly defense. How can it be enough? Unless it can be concluded that Tubo will definitely use troops to Taozhou, but is there such a good news and high wisdom?
However, Ali Gu and Gui Zhang did this seem to have gotten a bargain, but actually made a serious mistake.
Han Zhen asked Wang Ju what he laughed at.
Wang Ju said: "Since ancient times, the most difficult thing for several countries to join forces is trust and cooperation. Not to mention between countries, even if the country is dispatched several groups of people, it will be very difficult to cooperate, such as our northern expedition to Cao Bin, or the five-way attack on Xia in the previous few years. Very few people have truly succeeded, but Li Jing and others have destroyed Tuyuhun in their country, but who is Li Jing? There are also the Battle of Red Cliffs between Sun Liu and Cao Mengde."
When Sun Quan and Liu Bei fought at the Battle of Chibi, that cooperation was indeed a heart-to-heart talk, and it had to be like this, a battle of life and death.
But then, especially Lu Meng defeated Jingzhou. From the perspective of Wang Ju, Lu Meng was not a famous general at all, but a fool!
If Sun Wu had not pulled the back ladder and the two countries continued to cooperate, then in one go, Liu Shu might have divided the boundaries with Qinling Mountains, Tongbai Mountains, Sun Wu with Huaihe Rivers and Cao Wei. As a result, they got a bargain for the time being, but the two countries had hatred, and the Battle of Xiling, the two countries had no real strength to expedition the Northern Expedition. Although the two countries were destroyed, the root cause was that Lu Meng broke up Jingzhou and planted it. In fact, Lu Meng did this, which was as stupid as the Song Dynasty's alliance with Jin and Liao and Yuan and Jin.
The same principle now is, it seems that Aligu and Ghost Chapter have taken advantage of it, but in fact it has seriously damaged the trust in the covenant between their two countries.
If the two countries can unite, Wang Ju will have a headache.
But now both countries have their own ulterior motives, and Wang Ju is no longer afraid.
"That's how it's done." Han Zhen didn't know what to say.
"If I was not wrong, Aligu must have thought that in order to rescue Dingxi City, our dynasty might also know that our dynasty had counterattacked Mingsha City from Jingyuan Road. Then we would have to draw officers and soldiers from Qinfeng Road or Xihe Road to support Dingxi City. Originally, there were not many troops from the two routes, but now some of the troops were drawn, the troops would be even more empty, so most of them wanted to get a bargain and send troops to attack Hezhou, and by the way, they would have an explanation to Liang Yibi."
However, Wang Ju thought more carefully.
A mistake in judgment, if not done well, will lead to a complete change in the direction of the war.
"There is another proof that Liang Yibi is most likely to know that we have taken down Mingsha City now, but he has not withdrawn his troops, but has just made a feint before pacifying the Xi Fort. This is clearly waiting for the arrival of the Tubo army."
"That Hezhou?"
"Duke Han, don't worry. Although Hezhou has not many troops, Liu Changzuo will not make any major mistakes. It's really not possible to continue dragging them. I immediately ordered a group of troops from Qinzhou to Hezhou."
If you want to adjust, you need to adjust it now. This is not a communication between news. You can use special foot transfers to replace people and horses. You can travel seven or eight hundred miles a day, or even nearly a thousand miles a day. There are many mountain roads, and it is good to reach two routes a day. However, it will take some time for the Tubo general to draw troops from Taozhou.
"Hezhou continues to drag on, and his kung fu is not in Hezhou or Pingxi Fort, but in Taozhou and Mingsha City."
"Taozhou?" Mingshacheng knew about it, but Taozhou puzzled Han Zhen again.
"The eight sons of the Zhong family are all heroes, but the most victorious one is not Zhong Yan, but Zhong Yi. The powerful general under Aligu was Aligu who stayed in Taozhou, and there were only 20,000 soldiers. If you take this person down, it would be equivalent to breaking one of Aligu's arm. I want Zhong Yi to give it a try."
There were not many officers and soldiers in Minzhou, but some of them were convinced by the British and Qiang tribes that were sincerely convinced by the Song Dynasty. Originally, these Qiang tribes might not work. However, in order to establish their authority, Aligu killed thousands of people, which would undoubtedly anger these tribe chiefs. In order to protect themselves, they would also take the initiative to cooperate with the friendship.
However, in order to support Zhongyi, Wang Ju also dispatched two generals and soldiers from Qinzhou to Minzhou.
As for Mingsha City, Wang Ju didn't give an order. Now Liang Yibi thought that Mingsha City was hard to defend, so he didn't care about it, but he could really sit still?
Don’t be afraid of the enemy’s conspiracy, but you’re afraid that the plan will come out from nowhere.
Now that the military operations of the two enemies have basically become clear, Wang Ju is no longer worried.
Orders were issued one after another.
But at this moment, Sima Guang suddenly came up.
It is said that since the third year of Yuanfeng, Xixia has turned swords into jade and silk. This is the case, but the background is that after so many years of fighting, Xixia has not achieved major victories. On the contrary, the country is exhausted, and Wang Ju took the power of the victory in the south and returned to the capital. The two are combined. Xixia dare not use troops.
But Sima Guang only picked up one side and said, and then he said that who knew that the court had lost troops and demoted Wu, and the five armies attacked Xia, which resulted in the sacrifice of 600,000 soldiers and civilians. Now the court does not repent and is still using troops continuously. As a result, it has only a little bit of land, but countless creatures in Huizhou and Taozhou are suffering.
Taozhou was barely considered Wang Ju's mistake, at least he was responsible for the military decision.
But what happened to the king of Huizhou.
Either Li Xian encircled several forts, but don't take it seriously. Xixia ruled here for a long time, which made Wang Wenyu and Li Xian dare not implement the tax policies of the court, whether it was tithes or helping strong men and strong horses to exempt taxes and service. Even if several small and medium forts were built, money was also spent on hiring local people and soldiers to build them together.
Liang Yibi killed the people of various tribes who participated in the construction of these forts. However, the nature later evolved and in order to provide for it, he did not even identify it. He sent a large army to burn, kill, and loot.
Maybe some tribes yearn for the Song Dynasty, but in this case, did the Song Dynasty need to be responsible to these people?
And what does it mean to be a charity who does not command troops?
Then he said that the court had wars everywhere, first establishing enemies with Xixia, and then fighting with Tubo. Then Liao went south and with the power of the Song Dynasty, how could it resist? At that time, the country was in danger. Therefore, I hope the court would not listen to the instigation of the emperor and set up an envoy to negotiate peace with Tubo Xixia. This is a measure that benefits the country and the people.
If the Liao Kingdom and Tubo and Xixia jointly started and united, the Song Dynasty would be in danger, and even if it was finally won, it would be a miserable victory.
Therefore, this memorial seems to be right and wrong, and can also bewitch the hearts of some weak ministers.
When Wang Ju saw this memorial, he was speechless.
You old guy, you all ran to Shuishu, and you still continued to use any secret tricks!
Wang Ju was extremely angry, and the second one was the court meeting. Wang Ju simply brought this memorial to the court meeting, read it loudly in front of the civil and military officials, and then said: "What an article about benevolence, righteousness and morality."
"During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Sima Guang inspected Fengzhou and provoked the Battle of Hulidui. As a result, Guo En was defeated and died. Sima Guang blamed Guo En Huang Daoyuan, and even his benefactor Pang, but he did not expect that Xixia would release Huang Daoyuan, which is so kind and righteous!"
"At the time of the late emperor, the people of Tongjiabao, the west of the Deshun Army, wanted to support our dynasty. For peace, our dynasty did not agree. As a result, the Xixia people killed all the thousands of dynasties that yearned for our dynasty. Sima Guang did not say a word. This is benevolence, righteousness and morality."
"When Your Majesty ascended the throne, Hebei had a severe drought. It was Sima Guang's suggestion that the court, regardless of the hungry disaster, forced the lives and deaths of the people, to return to their respective prefectures and counties, to be kind and righteous!"
"In the seventh year of Xi'an, the country encountered an unprecedented severe drought, and the whole country was rescuing disasters. Sima Guang ignored the lives and death of the victims, but took the opportunity to attack the new law, which is a kindness and morality!"
"Dong Wen passed away, Aligu was in charge of the position. Many tribes in Tubo were dissatisfied, but our dynasty was always waiting patiently. He reported the demise in front, and the court gave him the position of Taibao to rectify his reputation and consolidate his rule. However, now Xixia dispatched a large army to invade our dynasty, but Aligu took the opportunity to capture Taozhou. In order to defend the Song Dynasty, the soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles, Sima Guang suggested that the soldiers on the front line give up their weapons and send envoys to negotiate peace. Is it wrong to fight on our dynasty's territory?"
"During Xining, the whole country of Xixia attacked. I immediately went to Qingzhou and defeated Xixia by chance. But I didn't know that it was not only ineffective, but I had it, which led me to flee from the north and Quanzhou. I also made a fortune in the south. Your Majesty gave me the position of the governor and political affairs. I wanted to serve the Song Dynasty, but on the way, a few officials joined forces with a group of shameless rap rappers to discredit me. When I went to Chengdu Prefecture, no official greeted me. On the contrary, I was intimidated by Wang Anli. Then I went to Luoyang and was assassinated immediately. This time, I first brought a group of usury merchants to slander me, and then there was a small case, and there was a case of Cheng Xi assassination. Such methods have never been seen even in the late Tang Dynasty."
"As a country, it is best to take harmony as a small family and treat guests grandly, which is also a commendation. But is it right for a parent to give money and food from his family to local rogues regardless of the family's food and clothing?"
Wang Ju raised this memorial again and said: "In order to suppress dissidents, he ignored the country and the people. This is the memorial!"
"Everyone, the court's kindness to ministers, especially senior officials, has never been seen since ancient times. The ancestors meant that they wanted to raise scholars and officials well, and hoped that scholars and officials would serve the court twice. But is this to raise scholars or raising gu? Even if they raise a few dogs, they would shake their tails to show their intimacy when they see the owner. A group of people who are not even as good as dogs!" (To be continued.)
