Chapter 45: A leaf falls and you know autumn

As soon as Jia Kui finished speaking, Fu Bi's eyes lit up like two little suns.

Oh my god! Fu Bi wanted to smash his head open and see if it was all filled with paste. He was not a pure soldier, so he rarely had the power to recover when he was at a disadvantage, so he had to keep asking for help.

Improve morale by instilling in subordinates the determination to fight to the death.

But when it comes to political struggle, this is Fu Bi's specialty. Even if he is called the master of political struggle, it is not an exaggeration. There are many such masters in Tokyo...

After these days of constant fighting, Fu Bi at least figured out who he was fighting with. He jumped up and opened the information he had collected these days. He just glanced at it and decisively wrote some army names with a cinnabar pen.

He drew a red circle on it, then pushed it in front of Jia Kui and said: "Do those troops with heavy casualties belong to these tribes?"

Jia Kui nodded in shock, and Fu Bi immediately laughed wildly, with tears streaming down his face. He slapped the table and shouted: "I'm ordering the three armies to be on guard. If you don't hide it, Pang will go crazy. The next war will be extremely cruel, haha."

Haha, as long as we survive this period, the Xixia army will retreat immediately!"

Jia Kui's eyes widened. He couldn't figure out why Fu Bi would come to such a conclusion. Why would Pang attack like crazy and then retreat? Why? As long as Pang calms down and doesn't hide

, deal with it carefully, Qin Wangchuan cannot be defended without the two fists of Dingyuan Village and Laiyuan Village. This is everyone's consensus. Why should people give up this fat piece of Qinzhou and run away in despair without hiding anything?

Pang Nai was recognized as a famous general and the Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom. Regardless of the honor of being a famous general or the face of the Prime Minister, there was no reason for him to turn around and run away without grabbing anything.

Fu Bi calmed down and became graceful and wise again. He picked up a piece of jade from the table and played with it in his hand. His eyes were squinted but had no focus. He seemed to be drifting away, but the piece of ancient jade in his hand was still there flexibly.

His white and slender fingers tumbled around, often changing into many patterns.

Seeing the prince in this state, everyone knew that he had fallen into deep thought, so they winked at each other and quietly retreated. Jia Kui ordered the soldiers outside the military tent not to disturb the prince.

"Old Jia, the prince didn't look like he was joking just now. Why did he make such a judgment?" Liu Da, deputy envoy of Cancao, approached Jia Kui and asked in a low voice.

Jia Kui shook his head in confusion and said: "Just now, the governor showed me the names of several tribes. I remember clearly that since the war started, they were Kazan, Mengwu, Huochilie, Batu, Yuzhihuagarland,

The Helutu tribes were bleeding, but the armies led by Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, and Wei Mingshouquan rarely appeared on the battlefield.

Except for Zhang Jiang who violently attacked Dingyuan Village at the beginning, they were not seen at all. The strangest thing is that Zhang Zhi, a Xixia warrior, never appeared from the beginning to the end.

What’s strange to me is that before I had time to report these things to the governor, the governor circled them all.”

Liu Da looked around and saw that everyone else had left, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that because he didn't hide Pang, he thought he had too many troops and was using a borrowed knife to kill people?"

Jia Kui looked at Liu Da with contempt and said angrily: "As a commander, if you do this on the battlefield, such a person should be cut into pieces and die a miserable death! Those innocent souls who died will not let him go."

Fu Bi came out of the military tent with his hands and said quietly: "Why not? Wu Zangpang's identity has changed. He is no longer a general who only thinks about war. He is now the Xixia Prime Minister. Now he thinks about

What matters is the overall interests of the entire Xixia Kingdom. For the sake of the overall interests, some interests of others must always be lost. This is easy to understand.

If you want to know why I know that these six tribes were severely damaged by our army, then you have to start with Taizong.

In his early years, Li Jiqian was deprived of military power by Taizong, and he married several daughters of local powerful men as wives and concubines. Suddenly he became relatives with local leaders, and his power gradually became stronger. In the second year of Yongxi reign, Li Jiqian and his brother Li Jichong lured and killed our general Cao Guangshi, and occupied the area.

Yinzhou conquered Huizhou and fell out with the Song Dynasty. He also "asked for surrender" from the Liao Kingdom and was named the King of Xia by the Khitan people. In the second year of Dao, Li Jiqian intercepted 400,000 grains and grass from our army and sent out a large army to surround Lingwu.

City. Taizong was furious and sent five troops to attack Xia, but they were all defeated.

After the death of Taizong, Zhenzong ascended the throne. In order to calm the dispute, he ceded Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Jing and other prefectures to Li Jiqian, which in fact recognized the independent status of Xixia.

Whenever the princes in the court talked about this matter, they all sighed. Raising thieves is a problem, and there is nothing better than a tiger biting the navel. Li Jiqian is a tiger and wolf, and his ambition for the land will never be satisfied.

In the fifth year of Xianping reign of Zhenzong, Li Jiqian led the tribes to capture Lingzhou, an important town in our dynasty, and renamed it Xiping Prefecture. Later, he captured Liangzhou, an important town in the northwest, cutting off the trade routes between our dynasty and the Western Regions, cutting off the tribute from the Western Regions to our dynasty, and at the same time prohibiting all the tribes in the Western Regions.

The Ministry sold horses to our country, which seriously affected our country's national defense, military and administration. Fortunately, it was not a holiday, and when Xixia and Tubo were meeting for an alliance, Li Jiqian was plotted by the Tubo people and was shot with a powerful crossbow. He later died of his injuries at the age of

4 years.

After Li Deming came to the throne, he devoted all his efforts to the development of the Hexi Corridor, attacking Tubo in the south and Uighurs in the west, which greatly expanded the living space of the Dangxiang Qiang people. In the ninth year of Xianping, Li Deming selected Huaiyuan Town as the capital and renamed it Xingqing Prefecture.

The Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were vassals, but they were completely imperial in their internal affairs. At this time, the Xixia Kingdom had already established its own climate.

Do you know which tribesmen Li Jiqian wanted to marry when he was getting rich? Yes, they are the six tribes of Kazan, Mengwu, Huochilie, Batu, Yuzhihuagarland, and Helutu.

They are also called the Six Tribes of Yuanzhai by the Xixia people themselves. They have been the deep-rooted descendants and relatives of the Xixia Kingdom since the founding of the Xixia Kingdom!

In the first year of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuanhao killed his father Li Deming, falsely claimed that Li Deming died of illness, and ruled as the prince. At the same time, he killed seven of his brothers. During this period, Kazan, Mengwu, and Huochilie

The six tribes of Batu, Yuzhi Huawan, and Helutu gradually lost power because they did not fully support Li Yuanhao's rise to power.

For this reason, Li Yuanhao killed a total of forty-three leaders of the six tribes in a rage, and the six tribes almost wanted to rebel.

However, Li Yuanhao was worthy of being a great man of his generation. He ordered his minister Yeli Renrong to create the Xixia script and vigorously develop the Xixia people's own cultural system. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he ordered Xixia men and women to learn the Xixia script, create Tibetan studies, and start the Xixia culture and education style. He also dug the "Li Wang Canal"

, so that the people of Xixia can farm. They defeated our dynasty three times in the battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan and Dingchuan Village, and in the first battle of Helan Mountain in Liaoxia, they defeated a hundred thousand soldiers led by the Emperor of Liao.

Under such a situation, the six tribes of Yuanzhai had to obey Yuanhao's orders and help him conquer the east and west. However, since Yunzheng made a big fuss in Xixia, he severely damaged the Xixia bureaucracy in the Xixia Prince's Mansion and killed Li Yuanhao.

In order to help his sister Wu Zang rule, Pang had to use the six tribes of Yuanzhai. Now there is a drought that has never been seen in a century in Xixia. The people are in dire straits, and the people are exchanging their children for food. If the six tribes of Yuanzhai are allowed to stay in the country, there will definitely be births.

There was an incident, so Pang took six elite troops out to eat without hiding anything.

I have always wondered why Wu Hide Pang brought such a huge army if he wanted to rob food. This is not in line with the Western Xia people's robbery technique of moving east and west, north and south. Now I finally understand.

The purpose is to consume the six Yuanzhai tribes with a large number of people in the war. Don't forget that after people die, there is no need for food. What's more, Xixia can strengthen its control over the six Yuanzhai tribes and eliminate unrest factors.

Why not hide the truth and not do it?"

Jia Kui's hair stood up. At this moment, he felt that Fu Bi was extremely insidious and had no intention of hiding anything. From this moment on, Jia Kui swore that he must stay away from civil servants.

It's best not to interact with someone if you can, lest you be plotted to death without even knowing how you died.

Liu Da raised his hands in admiration and said: "The master of the palace has a clear view of thousands of miles, and he admires him for his humble position. It's just that for his humble position, there is one thing he doesn't know. No matter what he thinks, if he can't get food, it means he has failed. No one in the upper position can do anything."

The most disgraceful thing is that the six tribes of Yuanzhai are all Xixia people. After losing troops and generals, I thought he could not give an explanation to all the Xixia people."

"He will give an explanation, and he will definitely give a good explanation. We don't have enough intelligence here, and we can't see the strangeness yet. If you give me some time, I will be able to get to the bottom of it.

Jia Kui, the defense of Qin Wangchuan is fully entrusted to you. I will personally keep an eye on your retreat. Now is the darkest period before dawn. If we survive, we will have a sunny day. I am thinking about what you just said.

If so, not only are you curious, but I am even more curious about where Zhang Zhi’s army has gone? We sent out a lot of scouts and tried our best to find out Zhang Zhi’s whereabouts. We not only looked in front of us, but we also had to carefully investigate behind us. I always feel that something is wrong!”

Yanguan Town, the most prosperous salt field in the northwest, has now completely turned into ruins. A large group of crows are hovering over the town. Countless corpses lie in this place where private salt dealers gather. There are still uneaten salt in the big pot of boiling salt.

Clean stumps and broken hands, a wild dog barking wildly to drive away the crows that kept falling to eat the corpse, but was unwilling to leave the fat corpse beside him that had been eaten and had its intestines broken.

When the government evacuates people according to their household registration, it is a normal practice to evacuate the people according to their household registration. Five families are protected, and ten households sit together. After the people listed on the household registration are evacuated, they have completed their official duties.

Yanguan Town is not under the jurisdiction of the government. Only tax collectors here collect a lot of legal and illegal salt taxes and filial piety every year. The government seems to have deliberately forgotten that there are still people here, and there are countless people who want to take advantage of the government and the people to evacuate.

Private salt dealers who made a fortune, and prostitutes who made a living by selling their skin and flesh! (To be continued)
