Chapter Langzhong Victory
"Khan, Xichuan Xingshu Secretariat sent people to report the great victory in Langzhong, and more than a thousand southern troops were annihilated!" He Weixian jogged to Zhenjin's bedroom early in the morning and reported.
"Langzhong Victory?!" Zhen Jin was indeed shocked. The two countries had reached a peace agreement and had entered the stage of full implementation. Although Xichuan had many conflicts with the Southern Army, there was no major war.
"The war report sent by Wang Weixiao, the right chief of the Central Secretary of the Xichuan Province, annihilated the more than a thousand southern troops who broke into the Langzhong area and looted him, and reported the victory to the Khan!" He Weixian nodded and reported again.
"Come on, let me see!" Zhen Jin's heart was even more thrilling when he heard this. He took the battle report handed over by He Weixian. He did not read the content, but first looked at the seal stamped at the end. It was the seal of the Secretariat of Xichuan. Wang Weixiao also claimed to be the right chief of the Secretariat, and couldn't help but say furiously, "He actually dared to resist the order and still wrote a letter to the original position!"
"Khan, maybe he hasn't received the order yet?" He Weixian said carefully.
"How is it possible? The edict to transfer him to the marching of ten thousand households in Hanzhong has been issued for several months, and his memorial to apologize for his son's faults has also arrived in Beijing. He is going to rebel!" Zhenjin said with greater aura.
"Sweat up and don't hurt your body!" He Weixian saw that his face turned purple when he was angry, and quickly stroked his chest and massaged his back.
"Cough cough..." Zhen Jin coughed a few times, spitting out sticky phlegm, and her complexion became slightly rosy, and she calmed down, "Now, only Xichuan has not yet fully implemented the peace agreement reached by our dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, so many matters still cannot be continued. Isn't it a big battle with the Southern Army add fuel to the fire!"
"Sweat, don't get angry first, maybe there is a last resort!" He Weixian poured hot tea for Zhenjin and advised with a smile.
"Now the Southern Dynasty is strong, and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hanoi. We still avoid it, but they are provoking in Xichuan. If the Southern Dynasty uses this as a reason, what should we do? Can we block the attack of the Southern Dynasty?" Zhen Jin said worriedly.
However, Zhen Jin still listened to the advice and opened the memorial to take a closer look. Wang Weixiao's memorial was very long and he wrote the story very carefully, but it also allowed him to understand the whole story. The cause of the incident was that the Southern Army headed north along the Jialing River? On the grounds of receiving it? �
At that time, one of the Southern Army commanded more than 500 people and advanced 30 miles away from Langzhong. The local officials went to mediation and were beaten by the soldiers of the Southern Army. Wang Weixin, a thousand Han soldiers guarding nearby, led more than 100 soldiers to dissuade him? The Southern Army actually fired fire? The sudden casualties of dozens of soldiers and civilians. Wang Weixin was unmoved. While organizing the rescue of the captured villagers, he fought against the Southern Army and covered them back to the city.
Our army's troops are far inferior to those of the Southern Army? The firearms they hold are sharp? The rescued villagers were outnumbered, and most of the rescued villagers were taken back by the enemy. However, the Southern Army still refused to give up and chased after him. When they arrived at Wuliping, they were lucky enough to receive reports of tens of thousands of households in the military farms. The power of the Du Shun Wang Weichun led his troops to respond? He blocked the enemy under the high ground and survived.
At this time? Our army remained restrained and was unwilling to clash with the Southern Army. Wang Weichun sent envoys to discuss it. He sent a hundred stones of food and let them release the captured villagers. The generals of the Southern Army led the troops refused to give up? He asked for tens of thousands of gold and silver? He led a hundred women. The negotiations broke down? The Southern Army threatened to capture the city of Langzhong and slaughter all the people in the city.
When the people in the city heard the great fear, they asked the official army to resist the enemy. Wang Weichun vowed to protect the safety of the people and mobilized two thousand-man teams to confront the enemy. The Southern Army still refused to withdraw its troops and launched an attack on our army at noon. Our army had no choice but to launch a counterattack. Wang Weichun, a 10,000-house cavalry, personally led 500 cavalry to attack the enemy. The Southern Army quickly formed a formation to protect itself and blocked it with muskets.
Under the fierce shooting of the Southern Army, the Du Shushang Wang Weichun, who was charging forward, was shot and killed on the spot, and dozens of people were shot and dropped. The key point was that his son, Wang Anchang, took over the commander's flag and continued to charge. The enemy fired artillery to block the attack, and our army suffered heavy casualties. The remaining cavalry reached the enemy's 50 steps and fired arrows. The enemy soldiers were killed one after another, and the formation was in chaos. The Qianhu Wang Weixin, who followed closely behind, led the infantry to approach the enemy's formation with swords and shields. Although the enemy's rain of bullets was dense, he ignored his own lives and rushed into the enemy's formation to fight in close combat.
The two armies were very close, and the South Arms were not allowed to fire, and the formation was destroyed. The enemy still used guns to resist stubbornly. However, after the enemy commander was killed by Wang Weixin's formation, he was completely defeated and began to disperse. Under the pursuit of our army, the army was defeated and drove the enemy twenty miles away. In this battle, our army was killed by the Dumai Wang Weichun, who was injured by more than 80 people, beheaded more than 400 people, and only dozens of people escaped.
When Zhen Jin saw that the end of the article was just right, he praised his troops for their bravery and how loyal he was to the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to expressing his victory, he asked the court to reward him. He asked the Khan to give him permission to take over the tens of thousands of households in the military farms, commend Wang Weixin, posthumously recognize Wang Weichun, etc.
"I used thousands of troops to kill tens of thousands of households and suffered more than 200 casualties. I still dare to claim a great victory and ask me to reward me. I am shameless!" Zhen Jin saw it and threw down the memorial and hummed.
"The Khan's top priority is not to pursue right and wrong, but to consider how to deal with the aftermath. The Southern Dynasties will definitely not give up!" He Weixian said.
He Weixian didn't believe such a record. He had face-to-face confrontation with the Southern Army and had seen overwhelming artillery fire and locust-like bullet rain. The scene made him shudder whenever he remembered it. Although the Song army was at a disadvantage, it was not easy to break the formation. Even if he could break the formation, he would definitely have to suffer huge casualties, with only more than 200 casualties. That was pure nonsense, concealing his own casualties and exaggerating the results of the battle.
As for the reason for the incident, the Song army was caused by the plunder of villagers, He Weixian did not believe it very much. First of all, the Song army was determined to recover the Sichuan and Shu area and cut off the route of the Mongol Yuan to detour south. It must have wanted to rule for a long time, rather than retreat in one battle. Then, it is necessary to appease the residents through the Huairou policy and prevent population loss.
However, looting the villagers will only inspire conflicts between the two sides and will not be conducive to future rule. In the future, the entire Xichuan will be the territory of the Southern Dynasties. What is the point of looting the population? Send it back to the south of the Yangtze River? It is densely populated and needs to immigrate to other places. After decades of war, Sichuan and Sichuan have been sparse in the population, and it is difficult to move them out. Think about it, except for those with pitfalls on their heads, they would never make such a ridiculous decision.
On the contrary, the Wang family was even more suspicious about the incitement. Back then, Wang Shixian hugged his thick legs and threw himself under the position of the Mongolian prince Ogedei. Since then, the Wang family has been following the Mongolian and the Yuan Dynasty to conquer the south and north, and leaping on horseback. The Wang army has been killing the generals all the way through the pass, consolidating Shu to provide a good and stable rear base for the Yuan soldiers to conquer Jiangnan. Not only did the Wang family's own power rely on this, but it also directly cut off the Song Dynasty's retreat.
The Yuanzhu Youzhe replied: "Sichuan is important, so who can I give up? Shu is pacified in the future, so how can I achieve the merits of Bayan?" The attack on Sichuan depends on the Wang family and defending Sichuan rely on the Wang family, and the attack on Sichuan is of great benefit to the attack on the Song Dynasty. Under the arrangement of the patriarch Wang Shixian, the Wang family followed the Mongolians wholeheartedly, not only because of their loyalty, but also because of their great benefits.
At present, due to the situation, the Mongolian Yuan 'cedes Sichuan and Shu' to the Southern Dynasty, which was equivalent to robbing meat from the Wang family. How could they be willing to give up this area of business for three generations? The territory that had been in power for more than 40 years must have been disobedient and unwilling to withdraw. At this moment, the third prince Tiemur was stranded in the Southern Dynasty and could not go home. Empress Kuokuozhen found trouble again and arrested Wang Weixiao's son and brothers in Beijing. The Wang family caused trouble at this time, and the meaning was not so simple.
"This battle took place on July 20th. Today, in the past seven days, the Southern Dynasties may have also learned about it!" Zhen Jin nodded and said.
"Langzhong is far from the Southern Dynasty. The roads are difficult and dangerous, and the traffic mainly relies on waterways. Now it is rainy season, and the river water surges. Some river sections are difficult to travel. The message is slow, and it may be a month fast. When our dynasty conveys messages, we pass through the Yi Road. From Hanzhong to Dadu, there are roads that can be understood. The Yima will not stop day and night, but it can travel 500 miles a day, and seven days is already considered slow." He Weixian explained.
"In this way, the Southern Dynasty may not know about this, and we still have time to deal with it!" Zhen Jinyan said.
"Not necessarily, after entering Beijing, the messenger of the Wang family planted a flag and shouted along the street to 'Langzhong Victory'. Now, everyone in the capital is afraid that everyone knows it. The Southern Dynasty must have had suspicion in most capitals and is a place where business travelers gather. This matter will be passed on to the Southern Dynasty in a few days." He Weixian said worriedly.
"This son is very hateful. I'm afraid the world doesn't know what he wants. What is this intention?" Zhen Jin pondered for a moment.
"Now that our dynasty has been defeated continuously, the army is very severe. The Wang family's troops are maintained intact, and they must be highly dependent on the court, so they can't help but act arrogantly. At this time, the conflict with the Southern Army entering Sichuan was probably showing goodwill to the Khan and demonstrating his status in the court!" He Weixian replied.
"I think he is not showing goodwill, but demonstrating. Today, his son angered the queen and imprisoned all the children of Wang in Beijing. His son was imprisoned. However, he only submitted a memorial to apologize, but refused to come to the capital to meet the saints for apologizing. He made up this incident and demonstrated to me, thinking that without his Wang family, no one could guard Longnan, my Dayuan." Zhen Jin said angrily after hearing this.
"Khan, please calm down. This is not the time to act voluntarily." He Weixian said, "There are conflicts between the two countries. The Southern Dynasties have lost their troops and the generals are definitely unwilling to give up. If we use a large number of troops in Xichuan under the name of attacking the Wang family, crossing Hanzhong and entering Longnan, and heading straight to Shaanxi and Gansu, we will fall into a place where we are attacked from both sides. At this time, the king's army of the Grassland Sect has entered the capital to defend the capital, and they have to rely on the Wang family to guard the capital. This time, the change of generals is not conducive to the war!"
