He was also worried that if he was with the Liao people, they would attack him. It was a good thing to be separated now.
As for the four months of military supplies, it was completely in vain. When Zhang Jian took out the wooden box, he was actually attracted to the Song people.
What do Meng people need now?
As Zhang Jian said, it is not territory.
If you don’t have money and no one, what’s the use of having so much land? You can’t defend it at all.
What they need now is population and money. These are the things that the Song people are in short supply. In other words, even if the Liao people do not agree to their conditions, they will consider taking action against the Song people. Now they are just following the trend.
, but you can get these benefits for free, why not?
This time the Mongolians defeated the Liao people. After entering the Liao land, they discovered that the Liao people were not rich either. Even if their lives were better than those of the Mongols, they were still very limited.
This is also true. The Liao Kingdom was not rich to begin with. The real rich people were the gentlemen living in Shangjing and Zhongjing. As for the border areas, the people of the Liao people still lived in poverty.
After both parties had their own thoughts, they finally reached an agreement. Then Zhang Jian expressed his willingness to give up the entire Dongsheng Prefecture. The Liao Kingdom would not station troops here, but neither would the Mongols. This could only exist as a non-war zone.
, the Mongols could pass by and enter the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Jian even helped the Mongols plan a route, passing through Dongsheng Prefecture and entering Yanmen of Dai Prefecture, and then entering the Song Dynasty from this direction.
Everyone in the world thought that Liao and Meng were now fighting together, and no one would have thought that Meng Qi would enter from here, thus gaining an upper hand.
Another advantage of doing this is that it can temporarily stagger the attack positions with the Xixia cavalry who are about to attack, one from the west and the other from the north, so there will be no friction. It can also restrain the Song people from both ends, allowing the Song army to
Unable to fully defend.
At that time, the Liao army will be responsible for containing the armies to the north of the Northern Territory of the Song Dynasty, and the west of the Northern Territory can be left to their own devices.
Zhebu was still very satisfied with the route planned by Zhang Jian. Soon, some pieces of mutton kumis were delivered to the big tent. The two sides, who had been arguing just now, were blushing and thick-necked, but now they were as good as old friends.
, talking and laughing.
It is impossible to tell that not long ago, everyone was fighting against each other, and there were countless casualties.
This is reality. When there are benefits, enemies can become friends, and friends can become enemies.
The Song people were completely unaware of all this and were still in the dark. They were still bargaining with the Liao envoys who entered Bianliang City, as if we didn't want to support them, but the conditions had not been agreed upon.
The Liao envoy was no longer in a hurry. He had already received a secret message sent by Zhang Jian and knew that the Liao would form an alliance with the Mongols to fight against the Song Dynasty.
If this is the case, the next person who will be unlucky is the Song Dynasty. Why would he be in a hurry? He simply cooperated with the Song ministers to act together, and time passed like this day by day.
...
During the Song Dynasty, in Fengzhou, a land in the northwest, there was a military camp of the Huoshan Army.
The corpses of soldiers of the Volcano Army of the Song Dynasty lay scattered everywhere. From time to time, the shrill screams of women could be heard from inside the military camp, as well as the unbridled laughter of Xixia soldiers.
Just now, the 30,000 Xixia cavalry and 50,000 infantrymen who passed by attacked the Volcano Army.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Volcano Army who were unprepared and came out to watch the excitement were immediately surrounded and slaughtered.
All the soldiers were killed, their families were humiliated, and military supplies were robbed.
Not only that, the Fengzhou magistrate who accompanied him and all the officials of the Song Dynasty were also killed, and this place instantly became a purgatory on earth.
The Huoshan Army was not the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. They didn't know much about the Xixia Army, and they didn't have any sense of caution. They just thought they were trying to borrow a way, but they didn't expect that the Xixia Army was so ruthless that they took action without hesitation.
"Let us know, we have a day off today, and we will rush to Fuzhou early tomorrow morning. There is still a German defense army there, and there are many women and money waiting for us." Wu Zang Guyin rode on the horse and laughed.
The Xixia generals around them also laughed wildly. Do these stupid Song people really think that they are just taking advantage of the way to help the Liao people defeat the Mongols?
Whether it's the Liao people or the Mongolians, they have nothing to fight for, they are all terribly poor. How can the Song people have so much wealth?
"General Ren De told me that tomorrow you will be the vanguard and I will give you 10,000 cavalry. I ask you to be fast and hit the enemy hard if you can. Don't be reluctant to fight. First open a big road for the main army to move forward."
"Wuzang Guyin spoke again.
When his name was called, Ren Degao immediately clasped his fists and agreed, "General, don't worry, the Song people who will definitely be killed by the last general don't even know their parents."
"Hahaha."
This answer caused a group of Xixia warriors to laugh wildly.
After staying in Daizhou for a day, he killed an unknown number of Song people, robbed so much gold and silver, and plundered so many people. Early the next morning, Ren Degao took 10,000 Xixia cavalry and went straight from Fengzhou to Fuzhou.
They left the prefecture, and without any preparation by the Song army, they attacked the Baode army, severely wounded them, and drove them to Fugu City.
Instead of aiding the Liao people, Xixia attacked the Song people and captured Fengzhou. Now Fuzhou is also in danger, and the news is coming towards Bianliang City at a speed of eight hundred miles.
Three days later, the news reached Bianliang City.
As soon as the soldiers entered the capital, they ran on the road and shouted loudly, "Fengzhou has fallen, Fuzhou is in emergency, and the Xixia army is coming!"
The shouts went all the way through the streets and alleys, and when they entered the palace, many people knew the news. Many of them looked ugly, and some were even timid. They went directly home to pray for the blessing of the Buddha enshrined in their homes.
In the palace, after Zhao Zhen received the news, he immediately met with all the ministers in Longtuge. When everyone arrived, he asked angrily, "What on earth is going on?
Who can talk to me?"
Zhao Zhen was really angry.
In an otherwise good situation, you can smoke cigarettes, drink wine and watch the excitement.
It's fine now, the fire has reached my home.
What kind of bullshit is waiting for your opponent to die?
He didn't know what his opponent was like. But he knew that he had suffered a loss, a huge loss.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Xixia has betrayed its promise and attacked Guo with false ideas. We really didn't expect it." The first one to stand up was Pang Ji.33
He is Zhao Zhen's favorite and a very trusted minister. He stood up just to calm Zhao Zhen's anger. After all, if the dragon's body is damaged by his anger, that is a big deal.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please calm down." The other ministers also said in unison.
"Calm down your anger, calm down. If I don't get angry, won't this happen? Well, let me ask you, now that Fuzhou is in danger, and the Baode Army is about to be unstoppable, what should we do next?"
Zhao Zhen looked at everyone angrily and asked sternly.
Among the princes, Fu Bi and Bao Zheng were both there.
The two of them couldn't help but think of Su Shi's previous reminder.
The phrase "false Taoist attack Guo" was first proposed by Su Shi, and both of them agreed at the time. They also mentioned it in advance, but it was not accepted.
Unexpectedly, everything has come true now.
Ordinarily, now is the time for them to stand up and take a stand, and they can even use this matter to criticize Wang Deyong of the unconfident faction and Wen Yanbo of the compromise faction.
But they know they can't do that now.
The proposals of these people were approved by the officials. Now to reject them and attack them is tantamount to attacking the officials.
Nowadays, the official family is in a state of rising anger. If it really gets angry, I am afraid that I will be the first to be unlucky.
If you can't stand up, you can only take a look first and see what Wang Deyong, Wen Yanbo and others will do, so that they can correct the deficiencies.
In any case, they are ministers of the Song Dynasty. Now that they are in crisis and encountering foreign enemies, they must first find a way to stabilize the situation and protect the Song Dynasty.
Facing the officials' questioning, although he did not want to stand up, Wang Deyong, as the Privy Councilor, still had to speak, "Your Majesty, Xixia's sudden attack did catch us by surprise. Fortunately, our border officers used their lives to
Now that we have only lost one Fengzhou, the situation is not that bad. Now General Wang Xin is on Hebei Road. In addition to soldiers from various provinces, he also has 100,000 mobile and powerful troops of the Song Dynasty. Now he can be ordered to lead the troops.
Support Fuzhou, while other local armies stay behind. If there will be any problems in the north for a while, we can blast the Xixia army out first."
"It's just that the Xixia is coming fiercely, and we have no precautions. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize the situation just relying on General Wang Xin. I ask your Majesty's permission to mobilize more troops to the north. Especially the Western Army. Now that Xixia has sent troops to Fengzhou
, then it shouldn’t cause trouble in the west, and the elite Western troops can be transferred to the north to quell the chaos."
Wang De's unconfident side was clearly revealed with these words.
During his tenure as Privy Councilor, whenever there was a foreign war, his customary approach was to pile up people, generals and troops.
It refers to continuously sending various reinforcements to eventually scare off the enemy with superior force.
Your Xixia cavalry is very powerful. One can fight two, but can it fight three or five?
As long as there are enough of us, we can scare you to death.
"No."
As soon as Wang Deyong finished speaking, before Zhao Zhen could make any decision, Gu Jin, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the first to stand up and object.
This person was opposed to deploying troops on the border before, but now that something happened, he was eager to make up for it. "Once the army is mobilized to the north, it will be very expensive, and it cannot be done overnight.
It will delay the opportunity to fight. It is better to let General Wang Xin lead the troops to help Fuzhou. One hundred thousand will fight eighty thousand, and maybe we can defeat the Xixia army."
"Yes, what Gu Shilang said is true." Wen Yanbo also stood up later. "The current situation all started because of the Liao-Mongolia War. Xixia just wants to fish in troubled waters. We can't mobilize the army now, otherwise,
Once we put pressure on Liao and Meng, and see that the Song Dynasty has sent many troops, it is likely to scare them and let them stop fighting and deal with us with all their strength. In that case, one to three, it will be difficult for us to fight."
