Chapter 701 Reckless
Chapter 701: Reckless
Guo Sidun seemed to understand: "Aren't you the subordinates of Granny Li?"
Bao Shun used his hand and whipped him again: "The faces of the Fan people have been completely humiliated by you!"
Gao Zunyu laughed loudly, stopped Bao Shun, and after asking about Zhong Yi's arrangements, he stroked Zhong Yi's back and praised: "You are the younger generation of generals in our army. They are full of courage, courage and strategy. Good.
!Compared to your brother Wu Lang Da Lang, I will give in more!"
Zhong Yi immediately humbled himself: "I dare not compare with my brothers."
The more Gao Zunyu saw Zhong Yi, the more he liked him. He had already made up his mind to keep him in the army, but he didn't show it on his face: "Let's go and meet His Majesty's will first."
The two of them mounted their horses and went ahead. Gao Zunyu said: "I may go out to cooperate with Wang Jinglue later. Since Ba Lang is familiar with the border situation in Shaanxi, is he interested in consulting me on secrets?"
Zhong Yi quickly saluted: "Zhong Yi has long wanted to serve on the battlefield, but it is helpless... but some people say that I am not ready yet."
Gao Zunyu glanced at Zhong Yi: "Is there someone? Your cheap master Su Tanhua who is stubborn and fights stupidly?"
Zhong Yi chuckled and said: "This time Jing Sili fell, Shaobao sighed for a long time in the capital, saying that it is people who determine the outcome of a war, not equipment."
After speaking, he said to Gao Zunyu in a low voice: "We have equipped our magical gun with a weird bayonet, saying that traditional tactics still have its advantages under certain conditions. If the Zhijun and the officials write a book, please leave me here
My master will definitely not say anything about the training of the frontier troops. To explore the usage of the new army in Western Xinjiang, in Neo-Confucian terms, this is also called true knowledge gained through practice."
Gao Zunyu laughed: "That's the truth! I have too few talents. The post of army commander must be Ba Lang!"
…
In Xizhou, Xingping, Wang Shao paced back and forth in the tent: "Zifan, everything has been handled properly, and you deserve the first credit."
Li Xian said: "No need to talk about this. Please give me a brief introduction on the affairs of Hezhou."
Wang Shao said: "Mu Zheng besieged the city for two reasons. First, there was Qingyi Jie Guizhang as reinforcement, who wanted me to rescue him and set up an ambush; second, he recruited the Tibetan people from Minzhou to strengthen his power."
"His new victorious spirit is so strong that we can't compete with him. I decided to raid Dingqiang City and catch him by surprise. As the saying goes, criticizing the strong and destroying the weak, and suppressing the situation, Hezhou will be the answer."
Li Xian shook his head: "Overwhelm our army and kill our generals. If we don't capture them in one fell swoop, I don't know how many generations of rebels will come after us. I think we should attack the main army and defeat them as a warning to others."
Wang Shao also shook his head: "Your Majesty and Zhongshu have repeatedly issued edicts, and there is no room for failure in this battle."
Li Xian said: "How could there be a mistake? According to the information sent by Shaanxi, the severe drought not only affected the Song, Xia and Qing Tang people, but also had a hard time. In contrast, our military resources are well-prepared, but it is the three groups.
The most powerful of all forces."
"I firmly support Su Shaobao's idea. There is a big one among the short ones. Now is the time for me, the Song Dynasty, to bully others! Therefore, we should use rewards to motivate the soldiers and kill Mu Zheng suddenly!"
Wang Shao said: "This is the truth, but your Majesty and Xianggong..."
Li Xian stood up and said, "This move is just for His Majesty and Zhongshu's consideration! Nowadays, there is fierce public discussion, saying that Your Majesty's misconduct has attracted the wrath of heaven, and we need an exciting victory ahead to reduce the public opinion!"
Wang Shao looked at the military map and frowned in thought.
Wang Anshi was kind to him. If it hadn't been for him, I would have had to wait until Su You became the prime minister to realize his ambitions.
He is also very confident that Su You will definitely support him, and according to his plan, Qingtang will eventually be captured by the Song Dynasty.
Now he finally understands Su You's pain. Neither your Majesty nor your husband understands the meaning of rhythm.
As soon as Xihe recovered, he immediately set up administrative divisions in a hurry, regardless of his own objections, without considering that Mu Zheng's power was still strong and that the war might be repeated.
Now that they had only surrounded one Hezhou, they immediately and hurriedly asked for the withdrawal of their troops, giving up all their previous hard work and treating the war as a child's play.
You can play if you want to, or if you don’t want to play, don’t play. Why don’t you ask people from Qingtang and Xixia if they agree?!
Logically speaking, the normal approach now is to increase troops in Hezhou to maintain the current situation.
But this is by no means a good choice. Both he and Li Xian know that this is a bad idea.
Both he and Li Xian believed that Mu Zheng must be dealt a fatal blow.
The fundamental difference between everyone is just how to fight.
His idea is to attack the enemy and save it, or to use the old method of mobilizing the enemy's troops and destroying them on the move.
This style of play is risky. After all, you are fighting on someone's homeland, and there are too many unreliable factors.
Li Xian's idea is to suppress the local snakes, use prestige and suddenness, fight decisively in Hezhou, and frighten Xiaoxiao.
But will this be effective for Mu Zheng? He can completely avoid going to Qingtang and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. When the time comes, another batch of Tibetan people in the Hehuang area will be lost.
What's more terrible is that the status quo must be broken immediately. If it continues to be delayed, if Minzhou Gao Zunyu cannot handle it, Zhao Xu will definitely blame all frontline officials and generals, or even directly cancel the Qingtang strategy.
At this moment, Wang Hou ran in: "Father, Supervisor of the Army, Xiaoba sent people to report that Minzhou is a great victory! Guo Sidun has surrendered! We need to hurry up here!"
Wang Shao was shocked: "How did Gao Zunyu do it?!"
When Wang Hou told the story of the future, Wang Shao and Li Xian looked at each other and said, "Each fight his own way!" "Fight quickly!"
Wang Shao took Li Xian and sat down: "We might as well make it bigger, let's catch the turtle in the urn this time!"
Three days later, in Ninghe on the outskirts of Hezhou, a big yellow flag fluttered against the fierce wind.
Li Xian knew very well that the soldiers in the northwest were all devoted to Wang Shao. Wang Shao had already selected 3,000 cavalry troops to go west, and those left behind to follow him were not very motivated to fight.
So Li Xian held the big flag and stood at the gate of the military camp: "This flag is given by the emperor, it is like the emperor personally coming to supervise the battle!"
"In the battle of Xiangzi City, the soldiers looked at the flag and fought. The enemy looked at the flag and seized the spirit. Only with a force of eight thousand, our army defeated several times the enemy and killed ten thousand people!"
"They have lived up to the emperor's expectations, and the emperor has not forgotten their contributions!"
"Fifteen people were promoted to commanders after the war, and seven people came to the capital to meet the emperor."
"Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded three times!"
"The fallen warriors are enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine and will be honored forever."
"Parents, wives and children, the government will take care of them until their parents die and their children grow up."
"There are countless people who have been recorded as Yu Longzhi from the Fourth Army."
"Today, I ask you if you dare to risk your life before the emperor's yellow flag, to fight for a future for yourself, and to fight for a stable life for your parents, wives and children!"
As expected, all the soldiers were in high spirits and excited: "Dare!"
"Okay!" Li Xian shouted: "Then burn all the tents for me! Wherever the yellow flag points, I will fight to the death! If I don't compete for full merit in this battle, I swear I won't hold back my sword!"
A shocking cry came from the valley: "Where the yellow flag points, I will fight to the death and move forward! If I don't compete for the full victory, I won't put my sword away!"
Outside Hezhou City, a temporary wooden fence had just been built, which was Mu Zheng's camp.
Jing Siyi gritted his teeth with hatred as he looked at the Tibetan people showing off their power outside the stronghold.
Mu Zheng bullied the few soldiers in the city, obviously using them as bait, waiting for the arrival of his reinforcements, and then ambushed them.
The atmosphere outside the city is very special today. On the mountain behind Muzheng's crude stockade are countless tents. The Tibetan people are obviously cutting down wood to strengthen the walls. They seem to be preparing for defense, not attack.
At this moment, the horns on the mountain sounded, and then a yellow flag appeared on the horizon. After the yellow flag, there were red-coated troops all over the mountains and plains.
Reinforcements have arrived!
The Tibetan army immediately mobilized, and soon the gate of Muzheng's village was opened, and countless Tibetan troops rushed out to kill the Song army who had been attacking for a long distance.
The armies of both sides collided like two torrents. The flash of swords and shouts quickly spread from one point to a line, and then to a plane. It was a brutal melee.
A small team firmly protected the general in charge of the yellow flag. Jing Siyi rubbed his eyes in disbelief at the top of the city. What the hell is he wearing a prison uniform, a eunuch?!
