Chapter 1082: Changes in the military situation, Shen Tang’s contribution
And when the situation in Jianchang Mansion continues to ferment for a period of time, the Dali Kingdom may have to return to the army to stabilize the domestic situation first.
If it were just chaos in Jianchang Prefecture, it would not matter to the Dali Kingdom! There were many tribes in Jianchang Prefecture, and they usually attacked each other a lot, but this time it was an intrusion from an outside force, and the Dali Kingdom naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
Back then, Prime Minister Gao Liangcheng quelled the rebellion of thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan. With the stability of Dali, these suppressed tribes naturally did not dare to act rashly, but if there was unrest, these tribes would not tolerate it any longer!
At the beginning, these thirty-seven barbarian tribes were mainly distributed in Jianchang Prefecture, Donglin County, Shicheng County, Suining Prefecture, Tushan County and Shanchan Prefecture! Therefore, the chaos in Jianchang Prefecture and the changes in Shanchan Prefecture, It will greatly affect Dali's nerves!
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang, the Privy Councilor, is outside the imperial city and has sent a message saying that he has something important to report!"
It was already past Haishi, and Zhao Shen, who had been busy all day, had just fallen into a deep sleep when he was awakened by Wang Quan's whisper!
After a while, Zhao Shen opened his eyes and glared at Wang Quan fiercely! Anyone who is woken up from a deep sleep will never be in a good mood! However, he also knows that both Wang Quan and Zhang Jun are stable people. People, if it wasn't really urgent, wouldn't bother him at this hour.
"Xuan!"
Zhao Shen said lightly!
Wang Quan hurriedly retreated, and not long after, a group of internal servants walked in gently, helping Zhao Shen clean up and change into casual clothes!
About a quarter of an hour later, slight footsteps sounded outside the palace! With a creak, the palace door opened, and Zhang Jun stepped in!
"Your Majesty, sir! I shouldn't disturb your Majesty at this moment. However, I know that your Majesty has been worried about the military situation on Guangnan West Road. Therefore, when the military report just came, I hurriedly came to report..." Zhang Jun said respectfully.
"Guangnan West Road battle report?"
Zhang Jun's words seemed to drive away Zhao Shen's sleepiness, "Speak quickly!"
It's no wonder that Zhao Shen was worried and depressed. Zhang Jun's plan was good, but it was a pity that the local soldiers and horses were not put to good use at all. The Dali soldiers and horses went straight to the southeast, and one city after another fell.
Even, just a few days ago, Guidzhou was captured by the Dali Kingdom.
If they continue to advance eastward, they will threaten Xuanhua in Yongzhou.
Xuanhua is the most important place in the east of Yongzhou. Once Xuanhua falls, it will be thought that the entire Yongzhou will be divided into two halves by the Dali army! The large area to the south will completely fall under the Dali army...
"Good news, Dali's troops were originally going to continue marching eastward to attack Xuanhua.
However, just four days ago, they returned to Texas from the Nanliujiang area!"
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, and then asked urgently, "But which soldiers and horses blocked their way?
Or are there soldiers and horses in the rear, threatening their retreat?"
Zhang Jun smiled bitterly, "No, I have told your Majesty before that the local soldiers and horses were defeated in consecutive battles, and they were not opponents of the Dali soldiers and horses! As for their rear, all the cities fell into the hands of the Dali Kingdom, and their retreat There is no danger!”
"Then why did they return troops?
Is it because they are out of strength?"
"Your Majesty, during this period of time, although the elite troops of Dali Kingdom have not followed up, the number of auxiliary troops has increased by 20,000 to 30,000! These auxiliary troops are not good in confrontation, but they are enough to defend the city! Moreover, …”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun looked a little gloomy, "After our local troops were defeated, they surrendered to the Dali Kingdom's soldiers and horses to help the tyrants! Therefore, the Dali Kingdom's troops are now sufficient! Although there are still only 20,000 elites, they The auxiliary troops, plus the local soldiers and horses who surrendered, there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 people..."
Zhao Shen's face showed a bit of hatred. The soldiers and horses in these places simply disgraced the court!
However, now is not the time to pursue the matter, "In other words, it has not yet been found out why they acted like this?"
"good!"
Zhang Jun nodded...
"Report! Your Majesty, please report urgently within 600 miles of Chengdu!"
The royal voice came urgently.
"King Quan, please bring the urgent report immediately!"
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, then let out a light drink!
Not long after, Wang Quan hurried back with a letter sealed with fire paint!
After checking it, Zhao Shen opened the secret letter himself. After reading it for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha! Okay! What a Shen Tang!"
"My dear, look, I have found the reason for the sudden movement of Dali's troops!"
Zhao Shen laughed and said.
Zhang Jun took the letter in confusion, and after a while, he looked overjoyed!
"I congratulate Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is worthy of being appointed by His Majesty. In more than a month, he swept down Wumeng Mountain and suppressed Qiongbu Prefecture! Now, most of the tribes in southern Xinjiang have completely surrendered to the Song Dynasty and become a bargaining chip in His Majesty's hands! No wonder the soldiers and horses of Dali Kingdom They will return in a hurry. I think they also got the news from the country! It must be the changes in Shanchan Mansion and Jianchang Mansion that made them dare not rush into the army!"
Zhao Shen also nodded with joy. This matter was not discussed by the court at all, but he secretly ordered Shen Tang to handle it.
Nowadays, Shen Tang is doing things well and his face is naturally bright.
"As expected of Shen Tang, he has lived up to my expectations!"
Zhao Shen said with satisfaction.
"My dear, you have also seen that we, Shen Tang, have already mentioned in our hearts that once there is a change in Jianchang Mansion and Shanchan Mansion, Dali Kingdom will definitely withdraw its troops.
Therefore, he suggested that the imperial court organize troops and horses as much as possible to harass or even block the retreat of Dali soldiers and horses!"
"What do you think!"
Zhang Jun sneered, "The soldiers and horses of Dali Kingdom can come and leave whenever they want. What do they think of our Song Dynasty?
I request an order to immediately allow all available troops and horses in Yongzhou and surrounding states to rely on local conditions to entangle the troops and horses of Dali State! They can leave if they want, but if they want to leave comfortably, it is impossible!"
"good!"
Zhao Shen clapped his hands fiercely and said, "You send an order to all the state capitals on Guangnan West Road to fight to the death. If anyone is timid or fearful of fighting, he will be severely punished!"
"What Ai Qing said is true. What Shen Tang should do has been done. The rest is our business. This time, we must give Dali a severe lesson so that they will never dare to invade our Song Dynasty border! "
After a pause, Zhao Shen said slowly, "My dear, I want to reward Shen Tang generously, but I don't know what name it should be in! Shen Tang has made great achievements, but is unknown to the world, but meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and meritorious officials cannot be allowed to do so. Chilling! Otherwise, who will serve the imperial court in the future?"
"Shen Tang's suppression of southern Xinjiang for more than a month is almost an achievement of opening up the territory! Although the difficulties and dangers involved are not listed in detail, how could I not know?
Shen Tang finally died for the Song Dynasty, I cannot let Shen Tang disappoint the court!"
