Chapter 830 Reversal(1/2)

If the Song army was so steady that it was afraid of people before, then Wang Ju's measure before Pingxi Fort would undoubtedly be very risky

Maybe Aligu and Liang Yibi won’t join forces, so there will be no such battle in Pingxi Fort. But that doesn’t matter, there is a next plan. But this step is something that Wang Ju doesn’t want to see. Not to mention anything else, let’s look at the road to the west of Thunder Ridge and to the Qingtang City of Zongge City.

It may join forces. This joint force is exactly what Wang Ju wants, which is what he said about the reversal, but he is afraid that this castle wall is not "durable". He is also worried that the various divisions of Guzhou can be instigated by Aligu. If one or two tribes are instigated by rebellion, there is no big problem, and there is a fear that several major tribes will be instigated by the time they will be instigated by the time being. Then it is likely that an accident will occur in the Jishi Army, and there will be a chaotic battle.

Pingxi Fort is in danger at present, but these two accidents have not happened yet...

The reversal begins.

Han Xu took Wang Ju's souvenir and found Yu Zang Huama. He said nothing in the letter, but only talked about a rough combat plan.

Yu Zanghuama was shocked after seeing it, Tubo was over...

But let's finish it. His relationship with the O clan is just that. Otherwise, he would not have betrayed Tubo and defected to Xixia, let alone Aligu.

After reading the letter, he asked, "What did Taibao ask me to do?"

"Send troops to Taozhou."

"Hasn't Taozhou been pacified?"

"Send troops to the Longbu division in Xihai."

Yu Zanghuama understood, and he asked again: "Can my son lead his tribe members to join the war?"

Han Xu naturally knew the intention of this old guy. When he was old, he was not as old as he could not lead his troops. However, this time, his son led his troops and the court would receive rewards again after making meritorious services. Only then can the Yuzang clan last forever in Dingxi City.

But this is a good incident, and Han Xu will not reject it. He agreed.

The two departments worked together to dispatch a total of five or six thousand light cavalry and quickly arrived in Taozhou and rushed to Dongjishishan.

Wang Junwan was no longer a good job there. Zhong Yi continued to lead an army of 10,000 to stay in Xige City to appease the people, but Wang Junwan and Miao Su began to rush towards the Xibawen coalition. Don’t underestimate the Song army at this time. And it was the strongest Western army. They did not have psychological pressure to deal with the Tubo people and would not have any fear of Liao. Their troops were stronger than Xibawen. In terms of generals, Xibawen was indeed very capable of fighting, but they did not grow up, and they were even less than Liu San Generals of Miao.

Soon Xibawen's team was defeated by the Song army in the south of Zhucheng. Xibawen had no choice but to lead the defeated army to flee to the east end of Jishishan, which was on the west side of the Songfan grassland, which was far away from the Song Dynasty controlled area.

But on the morning of the third day, Han Xu brought two 5,000 light cavalrymen and all Xibawen and his son were captured alive.

However, their bloodline was noble. It was hard to kill, so Miao Zuo preached the court and gave some more noble officials of Xibawen and his son. Xibawen had to surrender. What should I do if I didn't surrender? Miao Zuo then comforted the people of the solid Yongle tribe and the Longbu tribe brought by Xibawen, but also issued a harsh warning. The court promised them to make the first mistake, but if they made another mistake, they would definitely be severely punished in the next round. Then he sent Xibawen and his son to the capital, and even the east side of Jishishan was not allowed to stay away. Go to Kaifeng City to enjoy the blessing of the Qing Dynasty. How tiring it will be to fight...

The fact that the tribes in Henan had no heads was equivalent to the Song Dynasty taking down the Jishi Army.

Several troops and horses merged into one and slowly headed towards Pingxi Fort. However, this section of the road was a bit far, and many roads were not in good condition, and the army was huge, so the marching speed was not fast, so Wang Ju had to continue to stay in Pingxi Fort, and he had to wait for a lot of days.

But when Han Xu went to find Yu Zanghuama, another army also began to assemble.

…………

"Everyone, this time I went to the enemy territory is Liangzhou, which is mainly composed of Tubo people and Uighurs. The three armies must obey the following military orders, and all innocent rapes and plunderers will be killed."

"Anyone who burns, kills and disturbs the people will be killed."

"Of course, the Liugu Fan tribe in Liangzhou has been in trouble for a long time, and many of the leaders of the Fan tribe have completely turned to Xixia one after another. Such people, as well as some Dangxiang nobles, must be dealt with seriously, including their property, and they must be investigated. Those people have been found out one by one. You can just follow the military orders, but all the property found must be paid, 50% of the military expenses will be kept, 50% of them will be distributed equally, and the soldiers of the three armies will be rewarded, including you strong men and strong horses. This battle will be led by Taibao. Please believe in Taibao's fairness. If someone hides the property privately, behead you!"

"When the battle is afraid of the enemy but fails to come forward, kill him."

"Those who violate military orders will be killed!"

Lin Guang stood on the platform and said loudly.

The strong men and horses in the audience were confused by so many beheadings, and looked at each other, so Lin Guang said again: "Everyone, the Xia thief sent the main forces of Liangzhou to Zongge City. Now Liangzhou has empty troops, and Liangzhou has been a major state in Hexi since ancient times. Think about how many wealthy families there are in the city."

Xixia is very poor, and now it is so poor that it is dying, but it does not mean that all noble people are so poor that they are dying.

Just like Li Zicheng entered the capital, Chongzhen begged for most of the day, and only donated 200,000 taels of silver across the country, but Li Zicheng casually abducted and 70 million taels of silver.

Liangzhou cannot be compared with Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty, but as a large state, it can even produce nearly one million chunks of wealth, and there are also livestock and other spoils.

Some strong men and strong horses were excited. Lin Guang suppressed the gesture and said, "Don't worry, this half of the wealth is shared by everyone, so as to avoid unfairness, that is, the banished soldiers and soldiers share the same as you. Next, there is the reward from the court. Those who kill thieves or capture one Western thief will be rewarded with ten cents of money, those who are low-level generals and nobles will be rewarded with twenty cents of money, intermediate generals or nobles will be fifty cents of money, senior generals and important deputy generals will be rewarded with five hundred cents of money, and those who are in charge of the war will cause certain harm to the farming, production or animal husbandry at home. Therefore, each court will give an additional subsidy of ten cents of money or equivalent to ten cents of money for commercial goods and cloth!"

boom!

Thousands of strong men and strong horses exploded together.

It’s better to say a thousand words, money is better.

This time, the government forced all the strong men and strong horses in their 20 to 40 years old. Although the summer harvest just passed, it would delay the farm work. And we are not unfaithful to the Song Dynasty. How many strong men and strong horses died in the destruction of Xia a few years ago? Therefore, some strong men and strong horses were somewhat resistant to the hearts.

But now with such a generous reward, it seems that there are no heavy troops there, which means that the trip is very safe. Everyone is happy together, and some people start to talk in a low voice.

In fact, this reward measure was also issued by Wang Ju, and in the end, it was very small to pay. Most of them were still given to commercial goods. Where did these commercial goods come from? They will be purchased from merchant workshop owners who truthfully paid the red banknotes.

The powerful people only pay half of the commercial tax, such as a workshop. Over-tax is equivalent to letting the merchants pay, so they only pay half of the tax, that is, 1.5% of the commercial tax. It is such a light commercial tax that many people are still resistant. Think about it, even the sons of the elders, or the state supports enterprises, it is impossible for them to only pay 1.5% of the tax...

Some of them are not powerful people, because they rely on the powerful people, and only pay half of the commercial tax.

So these people are resistant, and the honest businessmen who pay taxes are not balanced.

This is also the sequelae of playing the balance technique. Wang Ju wanted to balance and let him go, so it was so easy. Therefore, most of the Fan army and the Fan strong men and horses that participated in the war were replaced by their shortage of commercial goods.

This amount is not small. It is equivalent to making up for another group of merchants. However, at the same time, some commercial goods are far from the northwest and may have to pay three or four taxes, which means that the court can also use the form of commercial tax to recover 78% of the money and silk...

But these are not something that these strong men and horses can understand. Anyway, even if they give them money, they will buy all kinds of goods.

These scenes are happening everywhere.

Liang Yibi also calculated the strength of Lanzhou and Jingyuan Road, and even the strength of Qinfeng Road. However, among these three routes, only Jingyuan Road has the largest number of troops, and the strength of Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road is just the same. However, Wang Ju has drawn 60,000 troops to Hehuang. The remaining long border, so many forts, and many borders have been stolen from the Tubo people in the Western Xia in the past two years. A large number of officers and soldiers must be sent to stay. How many troops can the Song Dynasty draw on the border?

The number of draws is enough, and Xixia can send troops. Anyway, Xixia only uses the part of the troops in Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and 90% are the so-called soldiers, and the main forces are still gathered in Lingzhou, Xingqing Prefecture and Helan Mountain.

Why did Lingzhou emerge again? There was no way. The Song Dynasty destroyed it, the Xixia rebuilt it, and built several solid forts in the Shaniuling to prevent the Song army from heading north again.

If the Song army stopped fighting, Xixia could rest and rest. Perhaps because many places were vacant, Xixia would quickly become strong again in more than ten years.

Either the troops were dispatched from Huanqing Road, and when the Huanqing Road army arrived in Liangzhou, Wang Ju would have been captured alive.

However, after all, Liang Yibi calculated that he had fewer troops and horses, that was the strong men and strong horses of various troops. At least their combat effectiveness was stronger than the so-called military soldiers in Xixia.

Now there are five roads in the border area, and there are no tens of thousands of strong men and strong horses along the way?

The three armies gathered, Yao Xiong and Miao Lu were the marching forward, Wang Guangyu was the chief general of the three armies, Lin Guang was the deputy general of the three armies, Li Xian was the chief supervisor of the army, and Wang Wenyu had to go. He would be in charge of Hexi Road in the future, and from now on, he would come into the sight of the people of Hexi. Then Yao Yi temporarily presided over the Lanzhou military defense for Wang Guangyu, and could not leave, but let the Xixia people steal chickens. At the same time, many soldiers and horses were left behind, so Liang Yi was not wrong, just to avoid these strong men and horses...

Eighty thousand soldiers, 40 thousand officers and soldiers, 40 thousand strong men and strong horses, killed the Yellow River and rushed towards Liangzhou.

Before Xixia could react, the 80,000 army quickly captured Gaizhu City and rushed to Liangzhou City. Xixia still left thousands of officers and soldiers in Liangzhou City. However, under the stimulation of wealth, even these strong men were red-eyed. Moreover, the main thing about Wang Guangyu's entourage was that the enemy was the Liangzhou guards, but most of these guards were soldiers from the original Liugu tribe. Now half of Ding Zhuang in the outside of the city asked Renduo Baozhong to take to Tubo. Before he could go to life and death, so many Song troops came over and their morale was low.

Therefore, the Song army was unstoppable and quickly rushed to the city of Liangzhou. After only two days of attack, they captured Liangzhou City.

The Song army then entered the city and captured prisoners of war. Not all of these prisoners were from Liugu tribes. Later, many Dangxiang people migrated one after another to settle down. Wang Ju's current Hehuang policy was basically the same as the original Xixia, but even the Liugu tribes had to be arrested. At most, they could first undergo labor reform for two years, and then after identification, the soldiers of the Liugu tribes who were friendly to the Song Dynasty were released one after another after the war was quelled. If it really doesn't work, they could also use these Dings and Zhuang to win over some foreign tribes.

Wang Guangyu followed the news that the scout found out and searched the city for a large number of people in Dangxiang or the nobles of the Uighurs who were loyal to the Western Xia. He killed them all without any slightest reckoning with his family property.

If it were the original, this move might have caused many controversies, but in front of the corpse mountain, there is no sound now. Moreover, the Song army now has a discerning killing. For ordinary people, it has basically been completely unsuccessful.

In fact, there is another intention. In the future, if these great nobles and leaders were missing, it would be easier for the Song Dynasty to govern.

At this time, Liang Yiqiu woke up, but before he could come up with a strategy, the Song army rushed to the south again, which was Li Yuanhao invaded Maoniu City, and now Renduo Baozhong entered Zongge City.

Well, it was just right to go to Aligu's lair when Zong Ge City and Qing Tang City were empty.

And he fought all the way and obtained thousands of prisoners of war and a lot of food and supplies. Therefore, Wang Wenyu asked these prisoners of war to escort food and supplies and rushed south.

Liang Yibi quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to Aligu. You must immediately divide your troops to guard Maoniucheng, otherwise your rear will be out of stock.

However, the Song army still could not quickly reach Maoniucheng. Although it was summer, the road was still a rugged road, and it was even less wide than the Dadoubagu road... So Liang Yibi was preparing to dispatch troops and block the 80,000 Song troops in the Qilian Mountains.

But he miscalculated another place and a person, Hedong Road and Zhang Ju.

Zhang Shi handed over with Kumamoto last autumn and immediately went to Hedong Road and then trained the army, but it looked very calm. In addition, Wang Ju's reputation and military use of Hehuang made the people of Xixia forget him.

Indeed, except for the soldiers on Fulin Road, the remaining soldiers on Hedong Road have not been tested by war for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is no longer the powerful Hedong Army in the Northern Han Dynasty.

But this problem is not big. There is also the Fulin Road Army and the border army that Yao Lin has trained for several years. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on the Fuyan Road on the other side of the Yellow River. These three units are actually enough, but Zhang Shi still brought many Hedong soldiers this time.

This is the real tempering.

After all, once the Xixia is pacified, the enemy you may face will be the Liao Kingdom. At that time, no matter Hedong and Hebei, they must have a powerful army in their hometown.

The two routes of Hedong Road and Yanzhou sent nearly 100,000 troops, plus 50,000 civilians. When it was time to waste the people, it was impossible for Wang Ju to not waste the people. A total of 150,000 military and civilians, one east and one south, rushed towards Yinzhou in a mighty manner.

Yinzhou lost the support of Hengshan, and only resisted for a few days, and was once again declared lost.

But this time, the Song army no longer plundered, but forced the people of all villages and villages to be loyal to the Song Dynasty. Not only did they be loyal, but all the people of all villages wrote affidavits, put their blood seals on them, and then killed the captured nobles and leaders, killing them to swear an oath!

Ordinary Dangxiang people attach great importance to this cruel oath.

If you don't agree, you can also go out outside the ancient Great Wall, which is the section of the Great Wall of Qin and Han dynasties. Inside is the base of the God-Wild Army of the Mida Cave in Xixia. However, this elite soldier almost finished Liang Yibi a few years ago. In addition, it was already in name only. In addition, there are Yinzhou, Shizhou, and Longzhou. From Longzhou to the Xi'an Great Wall, it began to be intermittent.

Then they distributed food and grass to the people and asked them to build this ancient Great Wall, which was not like the Qin and Han dynasties. Just cultivate it and it would be enough to play a defensive role.

In fact, the real Great Wall in the future is not in this section, but in Yinshan, Heishan, and Munashan. The reason why this section of Great Wall is to be repaired now is to play a temporary defensive role and stabilize the occupied territory first. Second, there is a solid line of defense, and people can be migrated from Hedong to settle down. This area can no longer be made the old nest of the Tuoba tribe, otherwise it will not be managed in the future. Third, it is treated as a punishment, otherwise the Yongle City tragedy occurred, and the Song Dynasty spent a lot of money to transfer food and grass from the rear to provide them with their lives. The Song Dynasty was too cheap.

Two roads, choose at will.

But how do these people choose? If they escape again, they haven’t escaped enough last year? In the situation, because they have no food, they all started to eat.

Moreover, the Song army strongly arrested all the leaders of various tribes and sacrificed their lives. Without these big leaders, the people are still willing to work hard for Xixia?

The Song army from both sides forced all the villagers to kill people and swear all their loyalty, and advanced all the way.

Liang Yibi had no choice but to order to transfer troops from the Xiping Army (Guazhou) to block the retreat of the Song army entering the Qilian Mountains, and at the same time send people to send a message to Aligu. The military strategy you have formulated is not good, so send troops back to hold on immediately. When our Xixia army arrives, we will attack from north to south.

Some may have waited. Not to mention how far it is to reach the Qilian Mountain Pass where the Song army entered, it will take some time to mobilize troops. This is not ready-made troops, but soldiers from various villages!

At the same time, he personally ordered a 150,000 army to kill Xiazhou.
To be continued...
