Chapter 691: Tubo’s wise general

Wang Anshi looked grave: "Zichun, the drought in Hebei has not yet been relieved, and the court cannot give you much supply now."

Su You reported: "Your Majesty, I request you to dissolve the tea service in Shuzhong immediately so that there can be no more chaos. The money, silk, and monks' certificates are kept under the special care of Zhao Gong of the Transportation Department. This is against the methods of Li Qi, Pu Zong, and Min.

Only by doing so can tea farmers be encouraged to produce with peace of mind."

"At the same time, order the transportation departments of Weizhou, Shangzhou, and Qinzhou to transport supplies to meet Xihe."

Zhao Xu was worried: "Resurrection, this Qingtang strategy..."

Su You handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if there is a back and forth, or even if there is a stalemate, it doesn't matter."

"But Xihe is not only about advancing Xixia, but behind it is Qinzhou."

"Qinzhou gold and copper are the banknotes of Shaanxi. Shaanxi has recovered so quickly, and gold and copper are indispensable."

"If Qinzhou is threatened and gold and copper production is reduced, Shaanxi will have to rely on the support of Jieyan again; and Jieyan is now the headquarters of Jiangnan Fourth Road Shipping Department, the shipping department will lose its principal, and water transportation to Beijing will have major problems.

.”

"A single move can affect the whole body, so your Majesty must not shake the determination of Baoxihe! Otherwise, all the good situation since ascending to the throne will be lost in one fell swoop! Your Majesty, it will be even more difficult to turn the tide and regain the support of the world at that time.

, so now - the arrow is on the string and must be fired!"

Wang Anshi was horrified: "Your Majesty, what Mingrun said is not trivial. We must urgently order Jing Sili of Hezhou to be cautious; order Li Xian to return to Xihe immediately; Zichun, you will leave the capital today!"

Zhao Xu glanced at Chen Shengzhi, the silent envoy to the privy council, and felt dissatisfied in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Summon Hanlin to write an imperial edict!"

…

There are valleys outside Hezhou City. Next to a valley with lush vegetation, six soldiers in red fell to the ground, having died long ago.

Mu Zheng bitterly wiped the blood stains on his sword and sheathed it.

The Song army did not carry weapons, but only axes and saws for felling wood.

A gorgeously dressed Tibetan general took the ax and looked at the blade in the sun: "Did the Song army use such a good steel ax to chop wood?"

Mu Zheng kicked a kneeling Song prisoner: "Answer!"

The prisoner groaned: "Stop talking nonsense! If you dare, I will kill your grandfather!"

General Fan smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, considering that you are an envoy, I really want to lend you your head."

The prisoner glared at the person behind the Tibetan general: "Grandpa Wensi, deputy envoy Zhang Jin! Zhao Changping, the government has given you the surname Zhao. If you dare to betray, be careful that the tribe will exterminate you, and you will die without a burial place!"

Behind General Fan, a Fan wearing a Song army uniform took two steps back in fright.

"How dare you be so arrogant!" Mu Zheng knocked Zhang Jin down and drew out his long knife: "Marshal Du, then I will chop him up?"

General Fan walked up to the Song prisoners and tipped the ax: "Why don't you try this!"

Before he finished speaking, an ax struck down, and Zhang Jin's head immediately drooped, falling to the ground with a thud, filled with blood, and was sucked into the loess in the blink of an eye.

The Fan general was none other than Dong Fe's famous general Qing Yi Jiegizhang. He frowned and looked at the ax: "It works well, but the blade is not wide enough."

Mu Zheng took it carefully: "How about I order the craftsmen in the army to make it wider for the marshal?"

Qingyi Jie Guizhang shook his head: "Yixi Weishe's method is very weird. After we use the same steel material and beat it hard, it will be either brittle or soft... Alas, now the Song people have sophisticated weapons and strong morale.

There is no shortage of food and grass..."

Mu Zheng was stunned: "Marshal Du..."

Qing Yi Jie Guizhang raised his hand to stop him: "But it's not without its weaknesses. Yixi Weishe left Shaanxi, and Wang Jinglue was not here either. Jing Sili was fierce and irritable. As long as he could be lured out of Hezhou, with the mountain and forest field warfare that our army is good at,

It is not difficult to set up an ambush and annihilate them."

He walked back and forth for a few steps and said: "Mu Zheng, you will kill the Song envoy and write a letter to me, take it to Hezhou, demonstrate under the city, and humiliate the Song army. If Jing Sili cannot restrain himself and goes out of the city to fight, you will

He leads him to Tabaicheng, where I will wait for you."

Tabaicheng, Tabaicheng is an important throat for Hehuang to enter Hezhou. At the same time, the surrounding mountains are continuous, making it easy to hide ambushes.

Mu Zheng was overjoyed: "I'll set off right now!"

…

In Hezhou, Wei Qi and Jia Xu were patrolling the city.

The leather boots stepped on the muddy ground, splashing up fine dust, which was blown away by the strong wind in an instant.

Jia Xu has the same name as the poisonous warrior of the Three Kingdoms, but he is a rude man who only commands an army.

He spat out the sand in his mouth: "What a bastard ghost! Wei Laoer, these Qiang people are really noble people, huh? A ghost from the Qingtang came, and the surrounding Tibetan people immediately defected and disappeared."

"

Wei Qi twitched his cheek: "I'm probably afraid of being killed."

Jia Xu lowered his voice: "I remember when Hezhou was first conquered, there were more than a thousand Jiangfan in the city."

Wei Qi also lowered his voice: "A living person is worthless, and his head only has five guans. Why keep it? To use up fried noodles?"

Jia Xu said: "It is unknown whether we will kill the prisoners or not. We should not be teachers of benevolence and righteousness..."

Wei Qi said with a smile: "This is said by a handsome minister like Wang Jinglue. It is a joke for us to talk about benevolence and righteousness. Su Shaobao said that only dead enemies are the best enemies. We know that the army will also turn a blind eye.

Close your eyes?"

Jia Xu argued: "Can you put it like this? There is a difference between surrendering to the enemy. The Gaozhi army went to Minzhou, but the order to capture the old and young alive was the same as having their heads taken. Tens of thousands of people were able to survive."

Wei Qi spat: "Can you compare with the Gaozhi Army? That's your majesty's great-uncle! He doesn't want a head, but his promotion rate is slightly slower than that of Wang Jing?"

Jia Xu counted on his fingers: "He submitted the Qiang tribe's atlas and topographic map of the military site, and was promoted to the deputy envoy of introduction, leading the imperial equipment. When he defeated Wu Sheng, he camped under the city of Wu Sheng, allowing the Qiang people to escape on their own. The next day, the army

Entering the city, ascending to the town of Tao

Zhijun; Xi, He, Tao, Min, and Tongyuan were combined into one, and he was promoted to be the general envoy of Xishang, the governor of Rongzhou, and the general manager; he restored Minzhou and became the governor of Minzhou... Oh, it's really true when you think about it in detail.

How did you get this horoscope!"

Wei Qi said: "When they captured Hezhou, the Gaozhi Army said that they did not have enough troops, horses, and food. They would be in a dilemma if they were far away from the base of the camp and captured people. They also made Wang Jinglue and Granny Li laugh. What was the result?"

As a result, Wang Jinglue asked him to control the Xi, He, Tao, and Minfan tribes. He didn't fight much, but he was already promoted to the magistrate of Minzhou for his merit.

At this moment, the trumpets in the city sounded, and the faint sound of drums came from the commander's mansion.

The two looked at each other and Jia Xu said: "Zhijun is gathering generals to send out troops? Didn't the Bachelor of Economics and Strategy tell you to be prudent?"

Wei Qi had already started running. As he ran, he turned around and shouted: "No one will be dead before three drums! Hurry up!"

…

In the handsome tent, Jing Sili looked at the "faithful letter" sent by Qing Yi Jie Guizhang, and his eyes almost burst out with fire.

The letter was full of slanderous and insulting words, describing the Song Dynasty's treachery and occupying the land, population, and salt ponds of the nephew of King Dong Fei;

He scolded Jing Sili for his incompetence in general, except for killing and surrendering, and even peed his pants in battle;

He also said that the heroes of the Song Dynasty were inferior to each other. Su You was a master, Wang Shao was a hero, and you, Jing Sili, are just a local dog.

Now that the two of you are not here, your Majesty ordered me to come and seek justice. Unexpectedly, your courage broke out early, and you, Jing Sili, did not even dare to go out of the city gate, so you had to whimper in the kennel with your tail between your legs.

I will go back to Qingtang to promote the courage of the generals of the Song Dynasty, so that your name Jing Sili will spread throughout the Qingtang!

Jing Sili angrily tore the letter into pieces: "I am determined to go to war!"

Han Cunbao, the commander-in-chief of Qin Dynasty, quickly advised him: "The enemy's situation is not clear yet, how can we know that this is not a trick to lure the enemy?"

Han Cunbao was a man of great fortune, and Chaogu was working for him at that time. Because the army was defeated in Hubei, before he was imprisoned, he asked Chaogu to send money back home, which led to many stories later.

As a result, his colleague Peng Sun tried his best to rescue him. He wrote that the affairs at hand were heavy and it was not appropriate to kill the important generals, so that he could save his life.

After being imprisoned for several years, it was not until Western Xinjiang was in a tight situation again that it was reactivated. Xu Daizui had made meritorious service, but his official position had been changed from Jiedushi to the end, and now he has just returned to the jurisdiction of Qian.

The Tibetan general Xi Yao who came over shouted: "Guizhang is a famous general of the Qingtang Dynasty. My subordinates admire him very much. If Zhijun goes on an expedition, please don't take me with you, otherwise there is a risk that I will be kidnapped by the subordinates to ask for rewards!"

Zhao Yuankai, who was walking on horseback, also said: "Zhijun, before leaving, I repeatedly told you to be cautious, so you must listen!"
