Chapter 411 The Biggest Winner

Sima Guang said sternly: "Has the disaster over there been eliminated? The Dragon Colt incident has not yet been settled, Su Mingrun attacked without authorization again, angering the Xixia monarch." "Does the Song Dynasty also stand by the truth about this matter?"

"Also, Su Mingrun is in Weizhou, and the military and political situation are at odds with each other. Every three days there is a small quarrel, and every five days there is a big quarrel. If the generals are not at odds, how can we fight a war?"

Fu Bi continued to argue: "I think that is the cleverness of taking the initiative!"

"Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. Since we know the Xixia people's main attack direction, we can make arrangements in advance. In Su Mingrun's words, this is called active defense."

"Are we just waiting for Liang Zuo to have everything ready, and then kill him at the gate of Weizhou in a leisurely manner, how can our Song army respond?"

"The specific effects have been confirmed in the previous battles at Shimenxia and Shuiluochuan."

"According to Su You's report, Xi Yuhongqi, the cavalry commander of the Baotai Army, and Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, were killed in the battle! Liang Gewei, the commander of the Baotai Army and the commander of the Tiandu Mountain Camp, was injured and captured!

Annihilating 6,000 enemies and capturing 5,000 horses was a surprise, but the baggage was not counted. How can we ignore such great achievements?!"

"It is normal for generals to have differences. Although Su You and Zhong Ji are at odds, they both know that the fight is for the sake of the country, and it does not affect business at all."

"In terms of military supplies and preparation of military resources, Su You has always taken advantage of the advantages and speed. I don't think it's just Mr. Zhong who can be called 'Xiaoyinjun'. Su Mingrun also has the style of an ancient gentleman."

Sima Guang continued to express doubts: "However, according to what Xue Xiang reported, Liang Yongneng of Xixia invaded Huanqing, and he was a partial force. The main force was led by Liang Zuo himself to attack Weizhou. If Su Mingrun really wins Qianli, he will be victorious in all battles, because

How come after the so-called great victory, Lingping, Jiuyang, Dingchuan, Gaoping, Sanchuan and Wuzhai were defeated in succession, and were forced back to the front line of Liupan Mountain by Liang Zuo?"

A stern look gradually appeared on Sima Guang's face: "Now we only have three places left in Guyuan, Dun'an, and Longguan. Once Longguan is broken, there will be no Pingfan in Weizhou! If Liang Zuo's 70,000-strong army is allowed to break into the pass, Shaanxi will immediately be destroyed!

Sir, aren't you still vigilant?"

Han Qi immediately corrected: "There are only 55,000. Liang Zuo lost 6,000 elites before, and then attacked the Wuzhai. It seemed to be aggressive, but in fact, the attack and defense were exchanged, and it was a tragic victory. According to the Weizhou report, he was fighting for the Wuzhai.

In the process, no less than 10,000 people were lost."

Fu Bi also shook his head and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. Da Jian only knows one, but does not know the second. In fact, if you study the battle situation carefully, you will find that Lingping Village was destroyed by Liang Zuo in three days; and Jiuyang was used

Five days; then Dingchuan on fifteen days and Gaoping on twenty days. If the three rivers are lost, it will take nearly a month!"

Ouyang Xiu, who was the deputy privy envoy at the time, also raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, last night I had a long discussion with the rich man. Su Mingrun lost five villages in a row, but he did not report to activate the Tibetan army, nor did he ask Xue Xiang Cai Ting for help. In the official document

, the Xia people suffered heavy losses without involving their subordinates, this is..."

Fu Bi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I estimate... this is a plan to clear the country with a strong wall and lure the enemy deep into the country! However, Su Mingrun's cleverness is that he first made a posture to compete with Liang Zuo for the entrance of Shimen Gorge, disrupting Liang Zuo's deployment rhythm.

, had no choice but to send light cavalry to rush in, and eventually fell into a trap."

"This is not only about killing the enemy, but the key is to obtain a buffer zone of 150 miles. The act of luring the enemy can be completed in this area, and we, the Song Dynasty, do not need to bear the losses of clearing the country."

"In any case, Su You's big plan is gradually taking shape!"

"Now the war situation is clear. Our army is going to use Longguan as the bottom line, Dun'an Village and Guyuan City as the corners to form a huge siege!"

Sima Guang said angrily: "The situation is already extremely dangerous, how can you, sir, cover it up for yourself?!"

Fu Bi said slowly: "I would like to ask you, Su Mingrun, which of the plans he mentioned this spring has not been realized?"

Sima Guang was suddenly speechless.

Fu Bi then said: "This year, Jinei, Song, Bo, Chen, Xu, Ru, Cai, Tang, Ying, Cao, Pu, Ji, Dan, Hao, Si, Lu, Shou, Chu, Hang, Xuan, Hong.

E, Shi, Guanghua, Gaoyou... all the military prefectures are flooded."

"If Su You had not fulfilled his promise, Liang Zuo would have already entered Guanzhong! And the imperial court would never be able to look westward!"

"Your Majesty, before Su Mingrun took office, he had an in-depth discussion with me. I believe that unless the emperor has the talent of Taizu, he is most afraid of commanding his ministers from a distance."

"The opportunity to defeat the enemy is fleeting. Although Su Mingrun lost five villages in a row, Zuo Zuo is estimated to have reached his limit. The key to turning the situation around may be just around the corner."

"Wuzhai was not owned by the Song Army, but was snatched by Su Mingrun before Liang Zuo took action. If we return it now, the situation will just return to the beginning."

"However, what is different from the usual beginning is that in the past, when the Xixia people arrived in Weizhou, their morale was at its highest and their military strength was at its strongest. But this time, they are at the end of their battle!"

"As a Privy Councilor, I have great confidence in this battle!"

Han Qi added: "To talk about mistakes, Su Mingrun did make a big mistake. He had the same temper when he was in charge of Kui. The report was too brief and not timely. I will definitely reprimand him and I will not delay the report every day from now on!"

Zhao Shu was not an energy-saving lamp either. He rolled his eyes and said, "Success or failure is slow. It is indeed difficult to know in time three thousand miles away. The commander-in-chief was in a trance and did not have time for a while... This is nothing, I can tolerate it."

"But in order to prevent everyone from worrying so much, we have to find a way..."

"In this way, Li Ruoyu, the deputy envoy of the supply warehouse, will be promoted to the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses stationed on the Jingyuan Road. He will be responsible for the farming affairs on Gouben Road. He will also be responsible for the official affairs of the Fan tribe on Gouqinfeng Road, and will be stationed in Weizhou."

"The Prime Minister remembers to order the body to test the Tibetan sentiments and manage their litigation and official affairs."

"When there are rewards and punishments, I will discuss with Su You and agree to use the post to report the matter. The important event will be heard immediately."

"In this way, I can share my worries and relieve my troubles with the commander-in-chief, and also enable the Privy Council to receive timely news. I can still handle several internal officials."

Damn it! Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and the two sides were arguing lively. As a result, the officials became the biggest winners with this amazing operation!

The supervisory troops were finally sent out!

There is no one who is not a human spirit!

…

"There is no one who is not a human spirit!" Su You cursed at Dun'an Village.

The situation facing Su You was neither as bad as Sima Guang expected nor as good as Fu Bi expected.

I always thought that I dominated this battlefield. On the one hand, I strengthened the walls and cleared the country, and on the way to gradually resist the retreat, I organized familiar households to return to Weizhou. On the other hand, I used Zhubao stronghold to seriously weaken Liang Zuo's strength.

However, what is unexpected is that Liang Zuo is also taking advantage of this situation.

What was weakened before was actually Wei Minglangyu's strength.

Just yesterday, Liang Zuo successfully deprived Wei Minglangyu, the emperor's uncle, of his military power on the grounds that Sanchuan Village was ineffective in fighting, and sent him to Shazhou to be managed.

Then he sent Liang Yi to use a small number of troops to contain Zhong Ji, and concentrated all his efforts to cut off the communication between the two armies, and frantically attacked Dun'an Village.

After Su You and others returned to Dun'an Village, Su You thought about going to Zhongda to supervise the war. It was not uncommon for the Zhong family to not cooperate with the imperial court's battle plan and obey the imperial court's orders.

The story of riding alone into a Tibetan stronghold has happened to several generations of family members. You can give up your own life, let alone the imperial army.

As a result, Tie Yaozi's charge separated Dun'an Village from the Zhenrong Army. Su You was halfway through the journey. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have almost become a pulp under the horse's hooves!
