"This guy..." Wang Ju couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard the report ahead.
County Magistrate Qiu and Master Du also laughed at the same time. The little emperor of Xixia was so miserable that he almost fled to the rear, but he was hit by another arrow, and he was still on his butt.
However, after Wang Ju finished laughing, he began to deduce it in his heart.
Finally, I knew where Li Liangzuo was, and I didn’t know where so many of them were hiding the day before yesterday. But no matter how they hid, I couldn’t take down this leader.
Therefore, Wang Ju is deducing Li Liangzuo's injuries.
After the Battle of Dashun City, everyone was snatching the Dragon Hand that night, and Wang Ju didn't interrupt, but when Cai Ting finished presiding, he took the swords of more than a dozen soldiers to watch them one by one. This one is very important.
It’s not that he will get infected when he is injured by a knife. He cannot have his previous life in this life. How many people have not been injured by scissors or knifes, and it is impossible to get infected when touched. This infection is mainly caused by the weapon being cut deep. If the weapon is smooth, it’s better. If there is rust, unevenness, and messy things attached to it, that is the most tragic thing.
But he was disappointed. These people had a good knife maintenance and were all as smooth as a mirror. Even the arrows brought by Bao Lin Guang were all just made. Although this was not safe, the result was not easy to say.
But it's hard to say, and Li Liangzuo delayed the most important day. Maybe Li Liangzuo is fine, maybe he will die early.
It doesn't matter whether Li Liangzuo dies or not. Could it be that Li Liangzuo is not dead? Song Xia can still be truly peaceful? Wang Ju is calculating what will happen to Li Liangzuo dies in Xixia. The Liang family will inevitably rise to power.
Or if Li Liangzuo is lucky enough to die, what will happen to Xixia?
After a while, he still felt that Li Liangzuo was dead.
This kid is now defeated and regrets it, but this kid is not a good person. After he gets up, he will definitely relapse when he sees his broken hand. And because of this defeat, he learns to study Ju Jian to lie on firewood and taste gall, which will be the enemy of the Song Dynasty.
Although the Liang family is crazy, they are just a female person and will not cause any major harm unless Xining attacks Xia, no matter whether Liang or Li Liangzuo or the Song army is one of the top ten, they will suffer a great loss. After all, it is a war to defend the country, unless Liang family learns from Zhao Ji. There is no need for soldiers to use gods.
Of course, this is a deduction. Whether Li Liangzuo dies or not, Wang Ju has no ability to control it.
But this is exciting news. Wang Ju said: "Send yamen runners to spread this matter widely so that all people can enjoy it."
…………
The news brought by the Yeli people came in time. Just as Cai Ting was repeatedly revising the report, they sent the news, especially the words Ye Jin Xiaoshan heard.
Cai Ting deliberately wrote this on the memorial.
Don’t think that Wei Minglang is a kind-hearted person. If Xixia really follows his plan, the Song Dynasty will be even more dangerous.
First of all, Jiaosilu died, Tubo was divided into pieces, and his sons were not united, including Mu Zheng in Hezhou. They were no longer like their fathers and were not very repulsive to Xixia.
Therefore, if Xixia adopted Li Demingshi's strategy and had a good relationship with Song and Liao, in exchange for a good external environment and concentrate on managing the south, it might succeed.
Furthermore, there were large numbers of Qiang people living south of ancient Weizhou. Where did the Dangxiang people live? It was the southern part of Taozhou and the foot of Dajishi Mountain. It cannot be said that the Qiang people were Dangxiang people. In fact, the Tubo in Hehuang was not the Tubo people on the plateau. They were new Tubo people who merged with Tuyuhun people, Han people, and even Tiel people. However, because of this connection, the Qiang people in any place would not reject the Western Xia.
The policy of the Song Dynasty was to eliminate accumulation and defense, so from the mouth of the Juma River in Cangzhou, Hebei, it began to build various cities, passes and shops, and to various villages and forts in Shaanxi, Hedong. If the Western Xia carved through Hezhou and extended its power to Taozhou and Minzhou, then the Song Dynasty could only be forced to build the fort villages all the way to northern Sichuan. Otherwise, the Xixia people went south to invade, which would be a nightmare for the people of northern Sichuan who had not been accustomed to war for a long time. If it were built, the soldiers stationed in the fort alone would be able to completely destroy the Song Dynasty's economy in less than ten years.
As long as the Western Xia achieves this goal, the Song Dynasty's policy of eliminating accumulation and defense will not change, and the Song Dynasty's national destruction will soon be destroyed!
Of course, this is an assumption. Even if Li Liangzuo returns to adjust the policy, it will take at least ten or even twenty years to achieve this goal.
So what he has to face is whether the Song Dynasty will give him this external environment?
Besides, the Taomin Qiang people may not be opposed to the Xixia people, but they are not rejected by the Central Plains. It depends on who is smart. Moreover, the Xixia people went south and extended too far, but the Song Dynasty did not have this problem. Qinzhou itself hoarded a large number of soldiers and food, which was very close to it. As long as the Song Dynasty took action first, the Xixia people's dreams would be shattered.
Therefore, what Cai Ting mainly reported on the process of this battle, the results, casualties, and the contributions of the soldiers.
This is also what everyone pays attention to.
After several battles, more than 56,000 Xixia soldiers were killed or captured. In fact, more than 56,000 Xixia soldiers were killed and captured. Huachi County sent people to count the bodies of Xixia people floating in Huachi Water. However, some of the soldiers, especially those who were shot dead by the Song army in the early defense of Dashun City, were buried by the Xixia people. Some fled to the mountains and forests and continued to be captured, and some were eaten by wild animals. Therefore, the actual number may increase by about 2,000.
The seized military license will be sent to the capital soon.
In addition, a large number of war horses, as well as cattle and sheep used as food by the Xixia people, as well as tents, weapons and armor.
However, Cai Ting deliberately did not explain clearly how many people were killed and how many prisoners of war were captured.
The Song army suffered a lot of casualties. Nearly 4,000 officials, including Fanluo Poche, sacrificed nearly 4,000 people, and many commanders were disabled and had to be reorganized. For example, the third battalion of Poches brought by Wang Ju, and nearly 3,000 strong men and horses were killed one after another, and more than 1,000 people were seriously injured. I am afraid that they will withdraw from the ranks of the ranks in the future.
This number of casualties exceeded that of Sankawakou.
But Zhao Shu didn't care too much. Although the casualties were heavy, what could it be compared to this great victory?
He waited for the eunuch to finish reading the memorial of Cai Ting and asked: "Have all the families of Xixia suffered such a severe blow since Li Jiqian?"
Wen Yanbo replied: "Your Majesty, there is, Li Yuanhao was defeated even worse in the Battle of Maoniucheng."
But that had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, but was killed by Jiaosilu. In that battle, there were three major battles from Maoniu City to Shanzhou City, and then to Zonggehe. Each of them severely damaged the people of Xixia. Conservatively, Li Yuanhao's defeat of troops could reach 100,000. In the second major battle, the Tubo people also used flooding strategies.
Zhao Shu was a little dissatisfied and asked again: "So has Xixia suffered such a severe blow in the Battle of Fulin Road?"
The battle of Fulin Road he mentioned is the sum of a series of battles, Miao Jixuan's defense of Linzhou, Gao Jixuan's battle of Sansongling, Zhe Jimin's defense of Fuzhou, Zhang Jiwang's first battle of Rabbit and Maochuan, Zhang Kang's battle of Longmenchuan, Zhang Kang's series of battles of regaining Fengzhou, Liuli Fort, Baizizhai, Zhang Kang's second battle of Rabbit and Maochuan, Zhang Kang's second battle of Rabbit and Maochuan, King Li Yuanhao's battle of King Wang.
Li Yuanhao lost one game, suffered nearly half of his troops, and eventually had to withdraw from Fulin Road.
Wen Yanbo thought for a while and said, "The battle on Fulin Road lasted for a long time and was very fragmented. The casualties in Xixia cannot be estimated, but according to the old minister, it seems that the two should correspond."
This is a pertinent evaluation. If we abandon the initial Fengzhou mistake, the Song army suffered similar casualties in the two battles, and they defeated the Xixia people with minor casualties. There were more Xixia people who were killed, and more prisoners were captured in the Dashun City Battle, and the two battles used similar forces. Although the Fulin Road was longer and harder, the Song Dynasty sent very few reinforcements, almost the local garrisons on Fulin Road, the Zhe Family Army and the local people combined to defeat Li Yuanhao. The troops used in Huanqing Road were also very few. If the strong men and strong horses were eliminated, there would be very few officers and soldiers.
If we look at the battle trails, the victory of Huanqing Road will be even more glorious, because the time is fast and the battle is more decisive.
If it depends on the difficulty, the difficulty of Fulin Road is even higher, then Li Yuanhao led the troops himself. Can Li Liangzuo's command ability be comparable to Li Yuanhao?
Anyway, it was a great victory, and Lu Gongbi said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Shu was obviously very happy, with a smile on his sick face, thinking to himself, if every battle is like this, why worry about financial difficulties?
This battle will also consume a lot of money. Before the war, the grants and rewards after the war cannot be taken seriously. You can't just rely on selling prisoners of war. Also, the loss of armor may cost five or six million guan.
Now the Song Dynasty is in a tight finance, and this five or six million yuan will poke a big hole in this tight finance.
However, compared with other battles before the Song Dynasty, the cost was too little. Just like the Battle of Chanyuan, the Song Dynasty spent 70 million guan at that time, which was the price of Song Zhenzong. Now, it might reach 140 million guan!
Therefore, this money is not spent much.
Then have fun, Zhao Shu asked the eunuch to open the brocade box and let everyone watch the dragon hand together.
"Is this Li Liangzuo's hand?" Everyone talked in a slight manner, smiling while talking.
Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. The soldiers on the front line are making trouble. Your Majesty cannot follow the soldiers on the front line to lose their etiquette. Li Liangzuo was the king of the country, with orderly magnanimity and order. He was flirting with him because of his mistakes. This was a very elegant and full of evil acts."
Zhao Shu was happy, and Sima Guang also had the power to follow the dragon, so he said: "Take it down and wait for the Xixia envoy to come over and let them take it back to Xixia."
The eunuch put the "Dragon Hand" back into the brocade box, and Zhao Shu said: "Promise the world."
A Puyi dispute disappointed the ministers and many people who missed Zhao Zhen. Therefore, this victory must be taken advantage of. Look, this is the victory I brought after ascending the throne.
Some ministers were not very happy, but they did win a great victory. Moreover, Cai Ting was also low-key and attributed the credit to Zhao Shu and the prime ministers of the two prefectures. He said that you have good coordination with the two prefectures, and then the soldiers of the three armies. He said that the soldiers of the three armies were grateful for the court's kindness and bravely moved forward, and thus achieved a great victory.
I care about Zhao Shu and the two ministers!
They were all in a bad mood, and the two governments were still petty about finances, and they almost broke the big thing.
But this is exactly what Cai Ting is so smart. If you say that, are you still embarrassed to turn black and white?
Zhao Shu waved his hand and prepared to let everyone disperse.
This is not right. Strictly speaking, a major battle between the two countries scores is pre-war preparations, major battles, and post-war.
This is very important after the war, and it is often handled improperly. Even if you are defeated, you lose real benefits. You are often handled properly. Even if you are defeated, you will still gain benefits. Now, if you are a great victory in the Song Dynasty, if you are smart, you have to continue to plan how to use this victory, instead of waiting for the Xixia people to issue cards and then passively deal with it.
Fortunately, someone came to make contributions on his own initiative.
Here comes, Lu Feng.
The Xixia army was dispatched, and Lu Shi didn't know where he went.
But now he was very passive, so after thinking about it, he finally came up with a solution, which was the messenger.
Song Xia agreed that the gift of coins was divided into four parts, one was a New Year's greeting. The Song Dynasty gave 5,000 taels of silver, 5,000 pieces of silk, and 5,000 kilograms of tea. This was New Year's money. After the New Year's greeting, it was brought back to Xixia by the envoy of Xixia.
One is to celebrate the Qianyuan Festival, which is the birthday of the Song Dynasty emperor. He gave him 10,000 silver, 10,000 silk, and 50,000 kilograms of tea. This depends on the birthday of each emperor. After paying the Qianyuan Festival, he was taken back by the Western Xia envoy.
One is given annual gifts, 130,000 silk, 50,000 silver, and 20,000 tea. It is usually delivered to the Western Xia territory after New Year's Day, or to the border in spring, because the new tea and new silk came up at that time, the weather was not cold, and the road would not be blocked with ice and snow, which would be convenient for transportation and save on freight.
One is to give the birthday of the Lord of Xixia, two thousand taels of silverware, one thousand pieces of fine clothes, and one piece of clothing.
Because Zhao Shu and Li Liangzuo were both born in spring, all four of them were given, but there was another one, that was the mid-winter dress after autumn, five thousand silver and five thousand silk. If it were in previous years, Xixia would have sent envoys to the capital to invite 10,000 yuan for the mid-winter dress.
But this year, it was mainly because Li Liangzuo wanted to see what he said after the war. If he took Qingzhou, it would be worth it. If he only captured Dashun City but defeated the Song army on Huanqing Road, he could send envoys to further extort the Song Dynasty.
The idea was good, but he didn't expect to lose so badly.
So Li Liangzuo fled back to Baibao City and immediately sent an envoy to continue to ask for submission. Then he also saw the reactions of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
This is easier to guess, and Lu Shi also guessed it, so he saw the opportunity, detained the envoy sent by Li Liangzuo, and then took the initiative to write a letter to ask why Li Liangzuo invaded the Song Dynasty, and asked the envoy of Xixia to bring the letter to Li Liangzuo, and wrote another memorial, saying to Zhao Shu: "The court has been tolerant, so Liangzuo dares to violate the contradictions and does not make any more mockery, so how can the country's prestige remain?"
He also sent the memorial to the capital with a fast horse. After catching up, Zhao Shu looked at the memorial and said, "Lu Qing's words are very consistent with my heart."
Cai Ting is not Zhao Shu's person, Zhao Xu's person, or Han Qi's person. Wang Ju is considered Zhao Xu's person, but Lu Shi is not Zhao Shu's person. Wen Yanbo is not. He has too deep experience, so deep that even Zhao Shu can't win over.
Only ministers such as Chen Xu, Lu Gongbi, Han Jiang, and Lu Shen who were quickly promoted in Zhao Shu's hands can be considered Zhao Shu's people.
It is my man, very brave, so Zhao Shu is very happy.
However, it was Lu Shen who immediately started to slap Zhao Shu in the face. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
