Lu Huiqing said: "What if."
Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu's eyes were shining brightly.
Not to mention the Western Xia, just like the Song Dynasty’s ability to withstand it, after the defeat of Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass, it was like the sky collapsed. The military expenditure of the Western Xia was less than that of the Song Dynasty, but don’t forget how many people and financial figures there were in the Western Xia.
If all 300,000 troops are left in Qingzhou, Xixia will face an unprecedented crisis.
Wang Ju was ridiculous and ridiculous by these three people who were dreaming of.
Can you cheat all these 300,000 soldiers?
This depends on the comparison of the strength of the two sides. Not only the troops, but if that happens, Wang Ju would not have to go to Qingzhou, or the people in Xixia would not have to jump on it, anyway, he would have to use people to build up.
Forces can only be said to be the most important part of determining victory or defeat. In addition to the forces, the morale, military discipline of the soldiers on both sides, familiarity with bows and horses, combat effectiveness, practical experience, planning of the general, knowing people, dispatching and commanding ability, and whether they can reward and punish fairly, weather, terrain, logistics, and financial situation in the rear, whether the monarch and ministers support, city defense, and armor can all affect the outcome of the war.
From this point of view, the gap in this battle is narrowing.
However, no matter what, the Xixia people still have the advantage in terms of the cards.
Of course, if the coach has outstanding abilities, then this advantage can be gradually smeared. If it is particularly outstanding, such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Han Xin, and Li Jing, then these 300,000 enemies can be cheated.
After all, in addition to military strength, the Song army basically had the advantage in other aspects, which was the home battle, the terrain was familiar, the armor was excellent, the logistics was sufficient, and the city guards were also the one with few troops, and the individual combat effectiveness was a little worse, but the military discipline was better than the Xixia people.
But the gap between the two sides is the gap. Even if Zhang Shi and the fierce man from Qinzhou came, they would not be able to completely kill the 300,000 troops.
Wang Ju himself can't do it either.
So he said calmly: "Brother Jifu, don't tempt me, this time I go to the northwest. I still hold on to the purpose of Yanhe Palace, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes, and trying my best to protect the forts and forts in Qingzhou. If I can save it, I will win."
"But you might as well imagine it." Zeng Preached.
Wang Ju said speechlessly: "Okay, let's imagine it. Based on 50,000, if I can defend Qingzhou and lose 50,000 troops in Xixia, it would be a great victory. This is also the result I want to get the most."
Zhang Dun's forehead, although Zhong Yan was so powerful that he fought in Luowu City. After several battles, he only lost 10,000 troops from Xixia. However, he thought that Wang Ju used a word that he lost was very interesting. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"This result cannot hurt the Xixia people. Faced with the remaining 250,000 troops, I cannot take the initiative to fight back. Then I make another plan, which is to cheat 50,000 to 100,000 soldiers and horses of Xixia people. I still can't attack. This is almost impossible. Thinking about the battle between Cai Gong and I carefully laid out for so long, and I made extremely tragic sacrifices, but I only cheated 50,000 and 60,000 soldiers and horses of Xixia. But if I really could cheat 100,000 soldiers and horses of Xixia, the Xixia people would be mourning everywhere, and the Songxia border would also bring about a long peace."
With this result, it would be very beneficial to the Song Dynasty. Several people became important officials of the country. Even though Zhang Dun's current official position is slightly higher than Wang Ju, they also heard some inside information, and the court was preparing to open the border Hehuang.
You can't fight on both sides at that time, how much money will cost? There is still a big pit in the country that has not been filled.
"The third result is that I can cheat 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers from Xixia people. This is almost impossible. As for cheating more than 150,000 enemies, don't think about it, unless Li Jing is reborn and Wu Qi is reborn. It's just that this result, that's not a minor matter. The Xixia people have lost nearly half of their soldiers. When the morale is depressed, I can take the initiative to fight back with my soldiers. This is what you said."
"Yes, what if this is the result?"
"Brother Zihou, if this is the result, let's push down, and I will lead the army to pursue and expand the results of the battle. So what is the most rational way? Join forces with Yanzhou officers and soldiers to take down Jintang City and Baibao City, and then the troops will enter Hengshan. By then, it was almost the end of the first month. Although the rivers have not really melted, they can build castles. Then, while the Western Xia was full of scars, build several forts in Hengshan, cut off Hengshan, and insert a nail into Hengshan. In the future, you can advance or retreat, and you will never be as urged as you are now."
Hengshan has almost become a nightmare in the eyes of all Song people.
If Wang Ju can achieve this, this is of great significance. It not only greatly boosts the popularity of Song people and gains strategic advantages, but also connects the security army with Qingzhou to the front line, and even Dashun City becomes the rear.
However, this is just a hypothesis. Although Wang Ju has no specific plans yet, he just wants to use the benefits of the terrain to kill the enemy on a large scale. As he said, it is best to cheat 50,000 Xia soldiers.
"As for whether the troops can enter Xixia, I can continue to make assumptions. If I fight to the point, how many 80,000 troops in Qingzhou are left?"
"We can join forces with Yanzhou and Weizhou."
"Okay, then who is the leader?"
Weizhou is Cai Ting, Wang Ju's old boss, so you can't let Wang Ju be above Cai Ting. Then Cai Ting is the leader, but in Yanzhou, there are Han Jiang and Guo Kui, who are the Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy, and Pingzhang, don't forget Guo Kui, who is also the deputy prime minister of the Western Prefecture. They are willing to be under Cai Ting. Also, Zeng Gongliang from Chang'an, facing such great achievements, if Old Zeng is red-eyed, he will also rob him. What should he do then?
If you don't need to hit, you will be in chaos.
"Even if several groups can unite and tacitly join forces, the country is about to be destroyed, the Xixia people will inevitably counterattack wildly, and our army will suffer even more heavy losses. What is the national finance?"
Wang Ju didn't know from Zhang Ruoshui that the country has paid back 30 million yuan this year.
The worst situation in the first year of Zhao Xu ascended the throne was that the big business had to spend money, and Hebei was drought again. The situation was not very good the year before, and the Yellow River broke out. So on the Spring Festival last year, Zhao Xu opened the inner warehouse. Everyone, look. The money and silk in the inner warehouse were also used up.
However, it gradually improved from last year. Although the Yellow River broke again, the situation this year was better than last year.
The most important reason behind this is that the military expenditure of the Northwest military use is gradually saving.
For example, the series of wars in Zhong Yan's Luowu City cost only more than 6 million yuan.
One is the local grain produced in Shaanxi, including the military farming in Suizhou in Dasanchuankou. Although Zhong Yan used a large scale of military service, he transferred a small amount of food and grass from Zheng Baiqu and Hedong. The rest were produced by Dasanchuankou itself. With this alone, a lot of expenses were saved.
The second is Han Qi's righteousness. He used the first to transport grain, and the first was to use the Xiang army. What should I do if the Xiang army was not enough? Buy grain from the merchants, or exchange salt, tea and money for grain. Then the merchants should not lose money. Therefore, the huge loss and labor cost of transporting the grain to the northwest was calculated. Therefore, a bucket of millet and a thousand cigarettes appeared. The grain was mixed with mud and sand and moldy grain. The court spent a lot of money, but the soldiers could not eat it.
Food is just one of them. There are many other supplies and supplies.
Now that Han Qi's righteousness and courage are concerned, the court treats them as disguised wing troops. They are given at least thirty cents a year for raising wing troops, but what wing soldiers are given is only some pickled vegetables, which is the pickled vegetables, and there are also generals deducted them.
Invisibly, the court did save a lot of money, and at least the food transported to the front line could be eaten by the soldiers.
However, the people of Shaanxi have also suffered.
So some scholars and officials used the word "people's grievances" and beat the enemy to open the edge.
In fact, if the strategy of the Song Renzong period was adopted, the state's fees would double. Where did this fee come from? It was not collected from the people.
The third is that there was no fatal defeat. For example, in the battle of Dingchuan Village, not only did tens of thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers die, but because it was a fatal defeat, the food, supplies, weapons and armor were all obtained by the Western Xia, which was all money, and it was transported to the front line, which was still a lot of money.
The military expenditure was not large, so the court tried to start repaying the accumulated debt.
Wang Ju didn't know how Wang Anshi paid back this owed debt in history. He only knew that even if Wang Anshi went down and the owed debt had not been fully repaid, I believe that in the third year of Xining, he would not have paid back 30 million with just one move.
This is the change brought about by Wang Ju.
The troops were laid off in advance and Fangchang Hedu was launched in advance. The first year of layoffs had to be given a large amount of resettlement expenses. By this year, the resettlement expenses were reduced and they began to take effect. Just one entry and one exit alone increased the income of nearly 20 million for the Song Dynasty in disguise.
Besides, the increase in the yield of pit mines brought about by the promotion of cotton, sugar and gunpowder, and the profit of the green seedling method, although it is less than 30 million a year, I believe it is not much different. After all, what Wang Ju calculated is Guan money, while what Zhang Ruoshui said is 30 million, Guan, Shi, and Shu.
Also, Xue Xiang, who was in charge of the regulation of the southern economy, and the court's forced control of floating expenses, could also bring more than 10 million invisible income to the Song Dynasty in a year.
Therefore, even though the court repaid 30 million, there was still some "inventory" in the treasury, which was why Wang Ju asked for a large amount of supplies. He had food, money and soldiers in his hands, so he would not panic during the battle. Like Zhong Yan was kind to save costs for the country, so the battle of Luowu City was bumpy. Whoever took Zhong Yan's love in the end did not take Luowu City.
But this storage is limited, so we cannot expect the court to spend 340 million to support ourselves.
Therefore, without sufficient financial support, I can't imagine that I can destroy Xixia, even if I can kill all the 300,000 Xixia troops.
The last reason Wang Juwei said, there is another country in the north. What if they help? Don’t forget that the heavy burden of the country has not been shaken off. At that time, not only will he be ineffective, but he may become a sinner for the ages.
However, these two reasons are enough.
Zhang Dun sighed long.
"Brother Zihou, don't sigh. Please compare the Qingli War. At that time, more defeats are more defeated, but now, more victory is less defeat, and victory is a big victory, while defeat is a small defeat. The national finance is gradually improving. I believe that in a few years, our dynasty will be able to truly destroy the Western Xia. Once the Western Xia goes away, it is just an enemy of the Liao Kingdom, and our dynasty will no longer be in a hurry. At that time, our dynasty will become stronger and prosperous, and we can also reappear the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
Wang Ju valued this person very much. The descendants distorted the most of the entire Northern Song Dynasty. Among the military generals were Pan Mei and Di Qing, and among the civil officials were Pang Ji and Zhang Dun.
Therefore, Wang Ju couldn't help but think in his heart that the women in the little emperor's harem were more troublesome than the other one.
But this Wang Ju really has no choice. Could it be that he has the ability to let Zhao Xu depose the little Xiangxiang in the palace?
Wang Ju said again: "But at that time, the results of the battle can be expanded according to the situation. If Hengshan is taken down, where is Xixia opposite?"
"Xiazhou?"
During the Tang Dynasty, the two avenues that communicated with Yinchuan in the mainland were both related to Dashun City. The road from Baibao City had nothing to do with the road from Qingzhou to Huanzhou, Huanzhou to Lingzhou, and the road from Suizhou to Xiazhou. In the Song Dynasty, these two roads were still highways, but there were many small roads, such as the road from Dashun to Baibao City to Yanzhou to Lingzhou. After passing Hengshan, the road from Yanling was relatively flat, but the difficulty was in the section of Hengshan. However, after all, it was difficult for the army to drive to Yanzhou?
"It's Xiazhou. If Yanzhou cooperates properly and restrains the troops of Youzhou, then it will be less than a hundred miles from Hengshan to Yanzhou, while Lingzhou to Yanzhou is a full three hundred miles away. Then our army can advance or retreat."
"Take Yanzhou?" Zeng preached.
"Brother Zixuan, that's not OK. I'm alone. Just like when Taizong made an expedition in the Northern Expedition, how can I defend Zhuozhou? I can't occupy it greedily, but destroy it, making Xixia more poor. The weaker the enemy, the stronger I am. If I change bit by bit, it will eventually turn into a huge advantage and eventually destroy Xixia."
This is the shallow attack tactic.
Zhang Feng succeeded, and in Wang Ju's previous life, the second ancestor succeeded, sent troops to Vietnam, greatly destroyed, and then retreated quickly. There was no way to talk to others in the international community, but the shock was also weakened, and the opponent was weakened. As a result, the group of monkeys became honest for nearly twenty years!
An example of unsuccessful success is the United States. It can be said that it is for oil when it is trapped in Iraq, but why is it trapped in Afghanistan? Do you want to siege China? Can you siege it? Can you really siege it? In turn, it gives China time to degenerate.
This is also the wisest way to play under unsatisfactory conditions.
Or as Sima Guang said, it is equivalent to becoming the most powerful country in the universe to use troops. How long does it take to wait? Or can you wait? The more you are afraid of fighting, the more you get beaten, and even the dogs and cats came up to slap in the face, causing the surrounding environment to become worse and worse.
"But these are all hypotheses," Wang Ju smiled and said, "That's a great deal, but is it possible?" He asked again: "Everyone, don't talk anymore. What's the point of doing you come? Should you say goodbye to me in advance?"
"Zi'an, when you leave the capital, we will definitely say goodbye, but today has nothing to do with saying goodbye, but asking about something." Lu Huiqing said.
"oh."
"Baojia Method."
When Wang Ju heard these three words, he immediately had a headache. It will not be continued.
