Six hundred and sixtieth nine chapters Xixia point set
In the fourth year of Xining, there was a war between Song and Xia in February.
It can be advanced through three levels: strategy, campaign, and tactics.
First of all, at the strategic level, Wang Anshi proposed to the officials the eight-character policy of "adjusting the world and controlling the barbarians and Di".
Since Wang Anshi became a political advisor in the second year of Xining, the entire country has been integrating and allocating national resources at the political, institutional, economic, cultural, and military levels around this strategy.
For example, the Zhuhe (conservative) faction lost power and resigned, the establishment of the Three Ordinance Departments and the reform of Sinong Temple, the strengthening of national mobilization capabilities through the Green Crops Law, the Exemption Law, etc., the Taixue Reform and the 'One Morality' to control public opinion and customs.
The imperial army was dismantled and the Western Court of Judges was established to strengthen combat capabilities.
In the second year of Zhiping, Zhang Yue asked Wang Shao to lay out the ancient Weichai village. One step of leisure chess can also be counted.
At the battle level, Han Jiang started by setting up the Xuanfu Division in Shaanxi Province, and decided to attack Hengshan from the front, to attack Hehuang from the side, and to attack Dangxiang from the back.
The central decision-making was thousands of miles away, and going back and forth would delay the war effort, so Han Jiang was given full authority at the operational level.
Han Jiang established his own shogunate and took control of local military and political power. He invested all his resources in Hengshan and only gave limited support to Wang Shao and Zhang Yue.
Now to the tactical level.
Even at the executive level, Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Zhong Er. The results were changing rapidly, and there was no time to ask Han Jiang for instructions. Sometimes they had to make their own decisions.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao had three battles and three victories from Weiyuan to crossing Mabit Mountain. When they crossed the Yellow River north, they discovered that the Xixia cavalry appeared on the other side.
At this time, conflicts arose in strategic and tactical choices.
In terms of strategic choice, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao should continue to cross the Yellow River north and attack their inner circle.
At the tactical level, Wang Shao believed that crossing the river was too risky, so it was better to attack Tiandu Mountain instead.
Wang Anshi once discussed this matter with the officials. The court must first make a big plan and then implement it. It cannot continue the ancestral method of controlling from within. However, if the general is allowed to do what he wants, the court will not have a definite plan.
The court must grasp the details of the implementation of the campaign.
Specifically, how much power was given to front-line generals Zhang Yue and Wang Shao by the imperial court, and how much power was given to generals like Han Jiang.
Therefore, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao rashly changed their strategy of crossing the Yellow River north, and then chose to tactically raid Tiandu Mountain, which was strategically wrong.
To put it bluntly, even if you win, you still lose.
All dynasties like to send eunuchs to supervise the army, because they are worried that the generals will not dare to take risks and refuse to implement the established strategy of the court.
During the Taizong Dynasty, all orders were given on the spot. If Wang Shao and Zhang Yue changed the marching route on their own initiative, they would be severely punished, and the lightest punishment would be dismissal.
But now, Zhang Yue has no idea in his heart.
Now that he is the head coach, he has also changed the established strategy that he promised in front of the official family and Han Jiang.
But this would probably disobey Wang Anshi and the official family, not to mention that he had killed Han Tong.
When they crossed Quwu Mountain, Zhang Yue had already written to Liu Xishi and Han Zhen to explain his change of marching route. Whether he could understand it or not could only depend on what the official Han Jiang meant.
…
Liang Yimi, a Han nationality, is now a relative of Xixia and the prime minister of Xixia.
Xixia people were shocked when they heard that the Song army captured Lawu City.
Liang Yi, who was the Prime Minister of the country, was buried in Yinzhou City. He summoned the soldiers and horses of the country several times, but no one from all walks of life came.
In particular, only less than one-third of the Hengshan Tibetan tribe has arrived, while the troops from the three military supervisory departments of Xishou, Zhuolu and Ganzhou, which are close to the Qingtang, have not yet reached a single soldier.
Liang Yi walked in the hall with his hands behind his back.
On the left is his confidant Du Mawei. He was the former defender of Lawu City, but was defeated by Zhonge. On the right is Gong Mengyou. This person is a confidant of Empress Dowager Liang, but he is at odds with Liang Yi.
However, they were the main militant group attacking the Song Dynasty.
This time, Empress Dowager Liang learned that Liang Yimi was in a dilemma and came to help Liang Yimi.
Du Ma's last words were: "The Song army originally recruited many Hengshan tribes as its army, and this time most of them followed Zhong'e to capture Luowu City. Now many Hengshan tribes have defected to the Song Dynasty. They think that the Song army will be there.
The construction of Wucheng was successful."
Liang Yimi turned around. He had a dignified appearance and extraordinary appearance, but he was wearing a round felt hat and a leather robe, looking like a party member.
Liang Yimi vigorously promoted Tibetan customs in the Xixia Kingdom. Although he was a Han, he was not only fanatical as a convert, but also believed that the differences between countries were not only military, institutional, and political, but most importantly, cultural.
If Dangxiang wanted to be independent from the Song Dynasty and not be dependent on him or assimilated, he had to have his own culture, so he vigorously promoted Dangxiang's customs.
Liang Yimi said: "The Song Dynasty wanted to win over the Tibetan tribes in Hengshan for more than a day or two. This time Han Jiang sent troops and gave them a lot of gold, silver, money, and silk. He also ordered the Han people to move from their homeland and cede land to the Tibetan tribes for cultivation. Now, here we go.
Once Wucheng is lost, all the tribesmen in Hengshan will not listen to my orders, and we will know when no soldiers come to gather."
"Damn it!" Doumao said bitterly when he thought about the defeat by Zange.
Gong Mengyue held her chest and said: "Moreover, the Song army has also left Hehuang. Yu Zanghuama had already said that the ancient Wei Song army must have a long-term plan to win over the Qing and Tang tribes, but it is a pity that the Prime Minister did not listen."
Liang Yi buried and said: "I have ordered Renhe to lead his army to garrison beside the Yellow River. The Song army on this road is just a suspicious soldier and is not enough to cause trouble."
"I hope so!" Gong Mengxiao looked sarcastic, and Liang Yimi could clearly see it.
Liang Yi collected himself. The most urgent task now was to deal with the Song army in Lawu City. He could not be distracted by the suspicious soldiers of the Song army.
Liang Yimi said: "The Song army's partial division can only be dealt with by three military supervisors, so it is not a danger. However, once the Song army refuses to defend Luowu, all the Hengshan and Fan tribes will be lured away. This is really a nuisance."
Xixia's southern invasion of the Song Dynasty's Hengshan Fan tribe played a big role. Once the Hengshan Fan tribe was drawn over, the two states of Yinling would be in danger, and even the Xixia Kingdom would be shaken.
Ma Weidao, the capital of the capital, said: "I sent someone to see it. The Song Army's food road is 170 miles from Dinghu County to Lawu City. How can it be fully protected for these 170 miles? Even if it is given to him
One hundred thousand men and horses are not enough."
But we don't have many people.
Liang Yi said in his heart, the Song army was sent out of Guwei, and three of the twelve military supervisors were restrained by him. If they failed, the Hengshan Fan tribe would not come no matter how much he urged.
The Xia army has extremely strict military discipline. Once the order is given, any leader who is late for one to five days will be sentenced to one year's probation. If he is more than five days late, he will be dismissed from his post. If he is late for two years, he will be sentenced to two years' probation. If he fails to catch up, he will be dismissed and serve three years' probation.
If the troops are not present, weapons are not prepared, and if you leave the team without permission, you will be punished.
The failure of the Hengshan tribe to gather together also made Liang Yimi furious.
Capital City's Matsuo said: "It's spring now, and the horses are all thin, so it can be saved if we don't gather them."
Liang Yimi said: "When the late Emperor was here, he often held gatherings in the spring. How dare they not come? When I broke through Lawu City, I killed these people from the Hengshan tribe."
"Then we have to deal with it later." Gongmeng said nonchalantly.
"Now that the troops are not all together, what can we do?" Liang Yimi said angrily.
Gong Meng falsely said: "The lack of troops is due to Luo Wu's mistake. The Queen Mother had already expected this, so she only sent an envoy to ask the Lord of Liao to send troops. In this way, the morale of the country will surely be restored!"
