The imperial court's plan was naturally sound, and Li Yuanhao soon discovered that he could no longer lead Dang Xiang's army to continue plundering southward, but this was nothing to lose to him.
The Song army is constantly supporting Huichuan City, hoping to cut off the defenders of Fuchuan City from itself, but this is obviously unrealistic, especially when the defenders of Huichuan City will not take the initiative to attack, they want to cut off their own army.
It's nothing more than a fool's dream.
The fort outside Shichuan City was attacked by the Song army. After learning the news, Li Yuanhao immediately ordered the defenders in the fort to abandon the fort and withdraw to Shichuan City.
As long as Shikawa City is not lost, he can easily withdraw his party items, but Huizhou cannot keep him.
What Ye An said is right. If you want to achieve your goal, you have to figure it out. What is your goal? It is definitely not to occupy the land of the Song people. They have been operating here for too many years and have ruled for too many years. Now they are completely
It's impossible to win.
Therefore, Li Yuanhao decisively led his troops back to Shichuan City. All the loot had been transported back. The tribal armies of the party made a fortune in this robbery and supported Li Yuanhao even more. This was what he needed.
"Wild profits meet beggars. The party has gained enough. There is no need for us to stay in the land of the Song people anymore."
Yeli Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then said: "What does the king mean that we should leave and return to the hometown of the Dangxiang people?"
"Leave?" Li Yuanhao laughed loudly and then said: "It is a temporary departure. One day, the land here will belong to Dangxiang, the people here will belong to Dangxiang, the fields, cattle, sheep, and every plant and tree here will belong to Dangxiang!
Now, lead our warriors home!"
Following Li Yuanhao's order, the army galloped towards Fuchuan City not far away, and the party's breakout battle began.
The horn sound sounded again in this border city, and countless people and horses were neighing. Li Yuanhao had a conversation with Ye An once. At that time, Ye An said something that he had never understood. He only figured it out recently.
"War is an extension of politics. When ordinary means cannot achieve the desired results, war is the final and only means."
Li Yuanhao murmured to himself as he watched the army set off. Only then did he realize that the young man who was a few years older than him was the most terrifying existence. Even the emperor of the Song Dynasty was nothing more than this. But if he came to the northwest,
I will never use troops to go south easily.
Several surrounding forts have been taken away by the Song people. This was completely expected by Li Yuanhao. It has to be said that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are still somewhat useful, and the combat power of the Huanzhou Anhua Army cannot be underestimated.
As long as it is an army that Ye An has commanded, it is more or less different from other frontier armies. If it is a head-on confrontation, the party cavalry will not gain much benefit.
Fortunately, Shichuan City was still in Dangxiang's hands, and Li Yuanhao rushed all the way to Shichuan City. The surrounding forts did not block it, nor did they form an encirclement.
Obviously, the Song people were deliberately letting themselves go, and the reinforcements from Huichuan City did not make any move, but just stood firm. The Dangxiang army entered the city for a short rest, and then embarked on their way back together with the remaining troops who had completed their rest.
Li Yuanhao didn't care about the sudden appearance of the Song army around him. As long as they dared to attack Dangxiang's army, it would be a continuation of this war. The Song generals could not afford the consequences of continuing the war, because the Song Dynasty court, from the emperor to the courtiers,
No one wants to really break up with Dangxiang, otherwise the Song Dynasty will not just rebuke itself, but should send troops to attack him.
It was precisely because of this that he was so unscrupulous. The Song people wanted to recuperate and become more prosperous and stronger. They never thought about going to war with the Liao Dynasty or Dangxiang.
No matter if it develops for ten years or a hundred years, the Song people will never take the initiative to fight against foreign dynasties. This is the essence that Li Yuanhao has seen through. He has never worried...
Li Yuanhao's idea was not wrong. Even if Zhao Zhen wanted to keep Dangxiang's army, the courtiers would try their best to let them go, because in Ye An's mind it was temporarily impossible to start a war with Dangxiang, and in the courtiers' minds
The central policy is to never go to war with party items.
The party members left the land of Huizhou amidst the flag-waving and shouting of the border troops. When they left, they did not leave from the secret road of Rouyuan Mountain, but left from the border pass in a high-sounding manner.
This move was enough to show Li Yuanhao's confidence, and everyone in the imperial court immediately began to praise Zhao Zhen, saying that it was under the leadership of the wise officials and wise strategizing that they repelled the party invaders.
That's right, Dangxiang's southern invasion was defined by the imperial court as border plunder. The city was captured, the land was plundered, and the people were slaughtered. In the mouths of the courtiers, it became a "threshing straw" robbery.
When Ye An saw the imperial report, he didn't know what to say. The young censor Qingliu was also constantly admonishing the officials to use thunderous means against the party and not just to reprimand him with an edict.
However, these memorials soon fell into obscurity. The attitudes of the ministers of the two governments spoke volumes. Lu Yijian, Wang Shu, and Wang Zeng all advised Zhao Zhen to reopen the field of inquiry on the grounds that "the party's troops have withdrawn and it is not appropriate to delve deeper into the matter."
So Zhao Zhen issued an order to reopen the Ganliang market and set up a market in Huizhou, under the supervision of officials dispatched by the Third Division.
In many cases, Dangxiang took the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty because the market was closed or trade was banned. The lack of supplies made the Dangxiang people's lives difficult. Only by acting in a warlike manner could they force the Song Dynasty to reopen trade and get what they wanted.
The Song Dynasty closed down the market and banned goods in order to punish the dishonesty of party members and remind Li Yuanhao not to forget his identity, thus forming a vicious circle.
The smuggling business was booming on the northwest border. Unfortunately, the battle in Huizhou not only caused heavy losses to the people of Huizhou, but also caused huge losses to the merchants who smuggled goods. The worst one was Li Zunxu.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that Li Yuanhao would actually dare to launch an attack on Huizhou. The goods of the Prince Consort were in Shichuan City. Although they were eventually robbed by Dangxiang people, Dangxiang merchants did not agree with this matter. They did not receive the goods.
Li Zunxu's goods were only goods sent by Dangxiang compatriots at low prices, that's all.
As for Dangxiang's goods, they still have to be sold to the Song Dynasty. Li Zunxu's shop owner has no use talking about it. The money he should pay must not be less, otherwise he will sell it to other shops at a low price. Anyway, the Song Dynasty is not the only one.
Is your company a company?
As a result, all the party goods that were originally supposed to be sold to Li Zunxu's family were sold to Fufeng Company, which paid a higher price. For a time, the Li family's business was in turmoil.
His own goods were robbed by party members, and the goods that were supposed to be sold to him were bought by Fufeng Company. In addition, he owed a loan to Puhui Company. For a while, Li Zunxu was worried about how to avoid the debt.
Li Duanyi and Wang Yingniang arrived at Xinlingfang hand in hand. They stood in front of the gate of Yunzhong County Marquis' Mansion but stopped. They didn't know how to speak to Ye An.
Especially Ying Niang, the good match she once had in her heart has reached the status she has today, which is completely beyond her expectation. The little Taoist priest who was a bit condescending to her at the beginning has now become the person she desires.
