Chapter 1566: Li Yuanhao, the party item, was a good river
Chapter 1566: Party item Li Yuanhao, Hao Shuichuan back then
The emperor of Daxia is named Li. In fact, the royal family of Daxia is the Tuoba clan of the Dangxiang clan.
To talk about the Daxia Kingdom, one person must be mentioned, and that is Li Yuanhao! Li Yuanhao's distant ancestor was named Tuoba Sigong. Because of his great contribution to the Huangchao uprising during the Li and Tang Dynasties, he was named Duke of Xia.
From then on, the Dangxiang tribe took root in the northwest and developed. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, and the rise of the Khitan tribe, they began to swing back and forth. In a word, I would admit to joining whoever was strong.
This swayed to the founding of the Song Dynasty! In order to win the surrender of the Dangxiang tribe, the Liao Kingdom first conferred Li Yuanhao's father as the King of Daxia.
After Li Yuanhao became the leader of the Dangxiang clan, the Song Dynasty also adopted the same policy and canonized Li Yuanhao as the King of Xixia! However, within Daxia, Li Yuanhao had actually become the emperor long ago.
Song and Liao also knew that it was just that he was self-reliant and was not worthy of serious attack.
After all, Song and Liao are the biggest enemies at this time!
As the Song and Liao dynasties faced off, fought, and contained each other, Li Yuanhao's ambitions gradually expanded.
In the fifth year of Jingyou (the reign of Renzong of the Song Dynasty), Li Yuanhao, with the support of a group of cronies, built an altar to worship heaven in Xingqing Mansion, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The country's name was Daxia, and the name was changed to "Yan Zuo".
Moreover, because the surname Li was also given by the Tang Dynasty, he did not want it anymore and directly changed his name to Wei Mingxiao.
Of course, if it was just like this, given the confrontation between Song and Jin at that time, I'm afraid they wouldn't pay attention to it.
After all, Li Yuanhao's proclaimed emperor was nothing new, and the Song Dynasty did not want to spend more experience here.
However, one of Li Yuanhao's tricks made Da Song unstoppable.
He sent an envoy to Bianjing of the Song Dynasty to meet with the Holy Spirit, asking the Song Dynasty to recognize the legitimacy of the founding of the Xia Dynasty and formally establish diplomatic relations!
At this time, the court of the Great Song Dynasty was in a state of disarray! The people of the Great Song Dynasty were all about face. If they made a small fuss, or defrauded some money or materials, the Song Dynasty would admit it with gritted teeth.
However, Li Yuanhao's move was tantamount to giving the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty a huge advantage! Who can bear this?
Even if it is not the right time to start a war, you still need to express your attitude.
As a result, the Song Dynasty deprived Li Yuanhao of his original canonization and official positions, stopped mutual trading, and offered a reward for Li Yuanhao's arrest.
All this was naturally in vain, but the Song Dynasty still endured and did not start a war.
Seeing that the Song Dynasty was so weak, Li Yuanhao no longer had any scruples, and robbed and killed the Song Dynasty on the border many times! For more than a year, the western part of the Song Dynasty was turned into a mess by Li Yuanhao!
In the second year of Baoyuan (1040), Li Yuanhao once again led his troops to attack Yanzhou. Yanzhou was surrounded by Dangxiang troops, and Song Dynasty generals Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were ordered to reinforce it.
Then they encountered party troops and horses in the Sanchuankou area and started a battle!
Shi Yuansun is a descendant of Shi Shouxin, the founding general of the country. He is extremely brave! Although he has few soldiers under his command, he still fights to the death with several times the number of enemies and does not lose.
After that, Dangxiang continued to increase his troops and trapped the two remaining soldiers on a barren mountain near Sanchuankou! After Dangxiang surrounded thousands of the two remaining soldiers with heavy troops, he persuaded them to surrender many times, but the two fought to the death!
However, as time passed, the two men were trapped, horses and food were exhausted, and they were eventually defeated and captured.
Then Song general Xu Dehuai successfully attacked Li Yuanhao's main force, which forced the party's troops to withdraw from the Song Dynasty.
A few months later, Li Yuanhao once again sent 100,000 troops and was ready to make a move! Seeing that Li Yuanhao could not be ignored, the Song Dynasty court appointed Xia Song as the Shaanxi Fourth Route Economic Envoy to appease and recruit, with Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan as deputy envoys, leading the
Soldiers fight against party members.
Although Xia Song was a civil servant, he knew military matters! After arriving, he asked his troops to build fortresses and walled cities. The longest distance between fortresses was only thirty or forty miles, so they could become nails that made the party unable to do anything.
Advance troops.
If you have the opportunity, start a war anytime and anywhere. If you don't have the opportunity, just garrison troops at the nearest fortress or walled city. When the enemy retreats, send troops to nearby fortresses to harass and attack.
It has to be said that this steady and steady policy almost drove Li Yuanhao to death! Especially Fan Zhongyan's troops all the way caused the party's troops to retreat steadily.
However, the general Ren Fu who was with Han Qi was very successful. He defeated the party vanguard in Huaiyuan City and killed thousands of people! Li Yuanhao took advantage of the situation and made the army fake defeat! Ren Fu followed him and chased him, and finally fell into the trap and encountered Li Yuanhao in the Haoshuichuan area.
The main force!
The Song army was chasing all the way and was out of men and horses. They were out of food and grass. They were ambushed by enemy soldiers, and their combat power was extremely seriously damaged!
Ren Fu knew that he had made a big mistake, and immediately led his 50,000 troops to fight to the death! In the end, almost all of his 50,000 troops were wiped out, and he himself also died in the battle! I have to admit that although the Song army at this time was not as good as at the beginning of the founding of the country,
But he can also be called a bloody man.
The Song Dynasty was defeated in this battle, but Dangxiang also suffered a tragic victory! So both sides retreated!
After learning the story of this battle, Renzong was furious and demoted Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan!
Another year later, Li Yuanhao once again sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty.
His idea was to contain the Song army with the main force, but the other way was to take a detour and directly attack the Guanzhong Plain and go straight to Chang'an! The main force of the army attacked Liu Zhenbao, and the Song army fought in the area of Dingchuan Village! This battle was huge for the Song army.
He was defeated, more than ten generals died in the battle, and almost all his troops were destroyed.
However, another group of soldiers and horses were attacked and killed by Yuanzhou Zhizhou in the Yuanzhou area, and the entire Dangxiang army was wiped out!
And in these battles between Song and Xia, although the Song Dynasty has been losing, there is a young general who is gradually rising. This young general's name is Di Qing!
Except for the founding generation of the Song Dynasty, there were only a handful of famous generals after that.
However, when it comes to the two most famous ones, one is naturally Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, one of the four generals of ZTE, and the other is Di Qing and Di Hanchen!
Di Qing was a cavalryman who was sent to the capital to join the army and was subordinate to Yu Ma Zhi.
Later, he was selected as a minor official. During the Battle of Sanchuankou, Di Qing was also sent to the front line to fight, and was awarded the command of Yanzhou!
At that time, the Song Dynasty was defeated by Dangxiang, and the soldiers were afraid of fighting! Di Qing personally acted as the vanguard to charge!
During the Battle of Haoshuichuan, he was recommended to Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi and continued to participate in the war. After the war, he was promoted to the governor of Qinzhou due to his merit! After the Battle of Dingchuan Village, he was promoted again to the four-column soldiers such as the Japanese Army and the Tianwu Army due to his merit.
The cavalry army commanded the envoy, and the Huizhou regiment trained the envoy.
In these three or four years of war, Di Qing participated in twenty or thirty battles, and was hit by eight arrows in total! He attacked Jintang City, captured Youzhou, and massacred six or seven Dangxiang tribesmen. Dangxiang's troops were frightened.
Invincible, no one dares to take it!
This also made it possible that although the Song Dynasty failed in all three major battles, the party was severely damaged many times in local wars, causing heavy damage to the party!
