Chapter 1725: The Order Soldier Qi Fan, Wanyan Yong Praises
Chapter 1725: The messenger Qi Fan, Wan Yanyong admired
"You can slander the two commanders-in-chief, how can your subordinates not be able to slander you?
Or is it that only adults can speak in this court, and subordinates cannot speak?"
After that, he bowed directly to Wanyan Yong and said, "Your Majesty, the two generals are planning hard for the war at the front. They can't sleep at night. When my subordinates saw that these people dared to slander the two generals, they spoke indiscriminately. , please forgive me."
"Hahaha!"
Wanyanyong laughed loudly, but he admired this little soldier very much, "Everyone says that he who speaks is not guilty. I will pardon you and you are not guilty. However, the fear of war may not be unreasonable. Do you know the reason?"
"Your Majesty, this detailed military report originally stated it. However, since Your Majesty asked, no one will doubt the two commanders again, so I will go ahead and say a few more words."
"In fact, when the two armies encountered each other, Deputy Commander Tu Dankening did mention that he wanted to start a war. However, after Commander Shen Tang thought about it, he did not agree to the proposal."
"When the deputy commander asked about the reason, the commander said that there is only one lone army left in Xia Liao and there is nothing to be afraid of. If there is a battle, not only will he lose his troops, but the most important thing is to waste more time.
The opponent has 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses. If we fight to the death, we will not be able to end it in a short time. In this case, it is more important to break through Huanzhou at a faster speed and join forces with Commander-in-Chief He Shiliezhining."
"After all, the imperial court and the military are under great pressure now, and the priority should be to end all wars as quickly as possible!"
"The commander concluded that this army had no desire to fight, so he divided his troops to Huanzhou on one side so that these troops did not dare to advance eastward. They had no choice but to continue heading north. On the other side, he directly retreated twenty miles to let the army This army can retreat without any scruples.
Everything went as the commander-in-chief said. After the two sides retreated, the commander-in-chief immediately led his troops and headed straight to Huanzhou as quickly as possible."
"If we go by what this gentleman said, the soldiers and horses are still fighting fiercely in the Yehu Ridge area. I don't know how long it will take to cross Huanzhou to join the soldiers and horses in the north."
"Furthermore, in fact, before the war started, the commander-in-chief had no intention of fighting with this army.
Surrounding three and missing one, and pacifying the Xijing Road area as soon as possible was the commander-in-chief's plan.
Moreover, the troops in other directions have no way to retreat, and the commander-in-chief’s layout forces them to retreat into the territory of the Mongolian Wanggu tribe.”
"With the entry of 40,000 to 50,000 Xia and Liao soldiers and horses, the Mongolian tribes will certainly not feel at ease. This will also encourage the troops and horses of the northern Mongolian tribes to retreat as soon as possible.
It can even take the opportunity to cause disputes between Mongolia and Xia Liao, who were originally united, which is of course a good thing for us."
After hearing the explanation of the soldier, Wan Yanyong immediately praised, "Well, you are worthy of Shen Tang! Taking one step and planning the overall situation is the style of a general! If I were leading the army, I would definitely be so decisive! Compared to defeating this army, It is obviously more important to end the whole war situation than to send troops and horses."
After that, he coldly scolded the courtier who spoke, "Humph, I don't know what to say!"
"You go back and rest first to receive the reward yourself!"
Wanyanyong said to the soldier.
After the soldiers retreated, Wanyan Yong said, "Now that the fighting on Xijing Road is over, the war in the north is about to be over. With the Xia and Liao troops marching north to Wang Gu's tribe, Shen Tang is leading the troops. Rush to join forces with Heshi Liezhining, and there will be no worries about the war situation in the north."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Wan Yanyong was too lazy to pay attention to these people and said directly downwards, "Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, please work out rewards for the soldiers at the front as soon as possible. My sons are fighting bloody battles outside, and we cannot let them feel cold."
"Your Majesty, our own soldiers and horses are naturally easy to deal with. All we need to do is reward or promote them according to the rules.
However, how should we reward the soldiers, horses and generals of the Song Dynasty?"
Wan Yanyong thought for a moment and said, "This time when Shen Tang leads the troops to the north, I have inherited a favor from the Song Dynasty. I can't do anything, so I just need to give them a generous reward in terms of property. I want them to come." I can understand it too.
In addition, my General Fengguo first solved the siege of the southwest, and then successively wiped out Taiyuan Prefecture and Xijing Road, making great achievements. Please discuss how to be promoted."
Wan Yanyong never gave up on promoting Shen Tang, and was even happy to see it succeed.
Although he is a subject of the Song Dynasty, as long as I have an official title, he is also my subject! As for whether anyone will say that he is shameless... Haha, if you can win over Shen Tang, what is face?
If he hadn't known Shen Tang's character, he would have tied Shen Tang directly to him, and he might not have dared to give him the title of Grand Marshal of the Marshal's Palace...
Such a young, courageous and resourceful commander will be a great help to the next generation of monarchs.
Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites hurriedly responded to the order, and then Wan Yanyong said to Pu Sanzhuo, "Pu Sanzhuo, you are in charge of the border area around Kaifeng Prefecture. Please urge the local officials and soldiers to withdraw as soon as possible. I don’t want to be someone who breaks his word! It’s only half of Nanjing Road, but it’s not as good as my clear name.”
"I hope that when Shen Tang returns to Zhongdu, most of the junctions will be completed.
As for the Kaifeng Mansion, leave it to Shen Tang. He helped me conquer the north and south. No matter what the reason was, it was a great achievement. I gave him this glory."
Pu Sanzhuo immediately went out to receive the order, "I obey the order!"
It is true that he has been handling this matter all along, but because Wanyan Yong had not spoken before, even though the corresponding state capital had begun to take action, the speed was extremely slow.
Of course, Da Song has been urging, but he is just looking for reasons, which is of course easy.
The reason for this was that he was also afraid that his emperor had other ideas in his mind.
But now that Wan Yanyong has spoken in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he naturally does not need to take any further care.
Now, he can feel at ease with the money he collected in the south.
After all, his servant Sanzhuo is also a reputable person. He accepts money to do things without any debt. Only in this way can we both benefit...
Huanzhou was the original headquarters of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division. In fact, the rebel group, Miaowou, was originally the commander of the Khitan people in the Northwest Route Recruitment Division.
There were a lot of Khitans in the Northwest Road Recruitment Department, so with the rebellion of Yi Lawo'o, the entire Northwest Road Recruitment Department fell apart directly, and the most important defensive troops of this generation not only failed to play a defensive role Instead, the blade was directed towards the Kingdom of Jin.
This is why the situation in the north was extremely severe at the beginning.
The Northwestern Road Recruitment Division was the barrier to Dadingfu on Beijing Road and Zhongdu Road. The rebellion of this army sent shockwaves to the Kingdom of Jin.
However, after Yi Lawo'o led his troops to retreat to the Linhuang Mansion area, Huanzhou was occupied by a Mongolian tribe's troops.
