Song and Xia Dynasty Battle
Now, let’s comprehensively analyze that before the war is about to begin, the response of the Song Dynasty basically includes the following: 1. Adding the title of Ye Siluo to restrain the effect; 2. Cutting off all the privileges of Li Yuanhao in the Song Dynasty; 3. Strictly grasping the detailed work of the Party; 4. Xia Shu, Fan Yong served as the highest commander on the front line and strengthening combat readiness; 5. Cut off the trade between Song and Xia... A little analysis will reveal that it is basically unreliable.
First, due to internal division, Tubo's strength is no longer as strong as before. Although Li Yuanhao will still be Li Yuanhao's enemy in the future, it will still make Li Yuanhao suffer the pain of defeat again... but now, we can basically not expect it.
Second, did Li Yuanhao care about his privileges in the Song Dynasty? Maybe he might not be willing to admit that he was the governor of the Dingnan Army of the Song Dynasty, King of Xiping, Grand Tutor, Shizhong... I didn't want those prominent titles, but now you have stripped them of them. Thank you!
Third, this is a real version of the failure to repair the problem. As early as January 6, the first day of the year before Li Yuanhao became emperor, he applied: Dear Your Majesty, I have eaten vegetarian food recently and want to worship Buddha. I heard that Mount Wutai in China is quite supernatural. I will send a representative to worship me. Is it OK?
How can we not be so pious? So the country's gates were wide open. The people of Xixia brought paper, pen and picture books and visited and sketched all the way. There were officials of the Song Dynasty accompanied the tour guide to explain. They were proud from time to time: Please look here, our country is so majestic and majestic, and there are some special points worth paying attention to... The spy has done this, what else can I say?
Fourth, the military talents of these two senior officials in the capital are to test the future three major battles of Song Xia. That is really extraordinary... it's so strong!
Only this fifth point: cutting off trade is the real blow to Xixia!
The Song Dynasty was stronger than all surrounding countries, its national strength. The war was against soldiers and materials. The Song Dynasty had money and food, and various luxury goods that nomadic peoples drooled but did not produce. As long as they continued, the other party would collapse! Especially the prototype empire, which was a Western Xia, which obviously could not keep up with the development situation!
Even during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had already launched an economic blow to Li Yuanhao's grandfather Li Jiqian. At that time, the Song Dynasty only had a single document, which cut off the Dangxiang people's life. What did the Dangxiang people have? At that time, they had only two things: horses, green salt. Dangxiang's war horses were still needed at this time. But the Song Dynasty suddenly said we didn't want it. In an instant, the Dangxiang people watched as they climbed a large number of green salts piled up into mountains, but they all became waste! The Song Dynasty had endless coastlines, and boiled seas into salt, and said they didn't use it if they didn't use it! But the Han silk silk, rice and white flour, and tea and medicinal materials were indispensable to the Dangxiang people!
What to do? The smart Li Jiqian also saw an extremely precious opportunity in the huge crisis: It’s great! The Song Dynasty was giving him gifts! He quickly summoned the Dangxiang people to the common survival interests, please pull out the knife and join me to the border of the Song Dynasty to rob!
This call was approved by everyone, and Li Jiqian finally became the leader. The Dangxiang people devoted themselves to the robbery movement with unprecedented passion. They gained a lot and suffered many casualties. However, on the basis of survival, the alliance established was unbreakable, and they were united closely around Li Jiqian.
But in terms of intelligence, does anyone want to compete with the literati of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty? Or a document, Li Jiqian immediately betrayed everyone and was counterattacked! The Song Dynasty suddenly said it was very good, and Qingyan was easy to eat, so we asked again... As a result, the Dangxiang people instantly dispersed from around Li Jiqian, scrambling to go home to do business with salt, throwing the boss on the vast Gobi Desert to enjoy the cool air, holding a knife, so angry that they couldn't speak: Brothers, think about it, why did the Song Dynasty people promise us to open the salt ban again? That is because we hugged them and picked up the knife! So brothers, we must continue to fight...
But the problem is that the economic strike is too slow to take effect. Materials need to be consumed slowly little by little, but the victory, loss, honor and disgrace on the battlefield are instantly determined. The blood of compatriots is sprinkled on the battlefield. Can you remain indifferent and slowly want to drag down the enemy?
On November 10, the Privy Councilor Sheng Du, and the political affairs officer of the Chief Secretary Cheng Lin was dismissed. On November 15, Wang Jiao was appointed as the Privy Councilor and Song Xiang was appointed as the political affairs officer of the Chief Secretary.
On the 11th, Liao Xingzong, who welcomed his biological mother, had his 8-year-old prince, and the future Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, summoned a group of monks to talk about Buddhism. The Khitans were all devout Buddhists. Since the Yelu Zongzhen, the atmosphere of the court's emphasis on Buddhism began to reach its peak. More than 20 monks worshiped the Three Dukes, Three Masters, and political affairs commanders. Later historians commented that "the decline of Liao Buddha"
This month, Song Qi submitted a memorial to discuss politics, pointing out the biggest disadvantages of the Song Dynasty's destruction of the country, "three redundant and three expenses", "three redundant and three expenses", "three redundant and three expenses", "three redundant and three redundant officials, soldiers, monks and Taoists, and three redundant. Taoist rituals, temples and land, and courtesy, and courtesy, and three free expenses. Please stop them all.
Li Yuanhao's first battle after becoming emperor broke out in November 1039! He led his army to attack the security army on the Fuyan Road of the Song Dynasty.
Let’s briefly introduce the local terrain: the two north-south water systems of Luoshui and Yanshui are the area, Luoshui is on the left and Yanshui is on the right. The Qingjian City to be built is located east of Yanshui, and is arranged from east to west in a large area between Yanshui and Luoshui. It is Jinmingzhai and the Security Army... Below them is the confluence of three rivers, including Yanchuan, Yichuan, and through Sichuan, called Sanchuankou. Below Sanchuankou is Yanzhou City, the capital of the Song Dynasty Fuyan Road.
In the Baoan Army, above Jinming Village are Tumen and a series of Qiang Villages. To the north is the border of Song and Xia, which is more than 2,000 miles long. But it is regrettable that this natural boundary mountain is another Sixteen Prefectures in Yanyun. The Song Dynasty did not share its dangers with Xixia, but was occupied by Xixia. The Dangxiang people were on the verge of high ground and built strongholds on all dangerous passes above Hengshan, with more than 300 forts. Xixia can basically retreat and defend the ground and advance and attack.
The attack on the security army this time was "five heads, 40-40-six people". This is an obscure term, but it is actually very simple. There are so-called raw, mature households, and mature households on the border of Song and Xia. The so-called raw, mature households and mature households are the Dangxiang people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty and lived for generations. The "five heads, 40-six people" were formed by the familiar households who were re-enlisted by Li Yuanhao. The five heads, 5 large leaders, each with 8 people, and a total of 40 people. They were acted as pioneers, and the main forces of the Western Xia were hidden behind them, waiting for them to fight against the Song army before they rushed out to clean up the mess.
The battle began! The people of Xixia, especially these familiar households who defected in the past, had long been able to understand the reality of the Song army over the years, were greedy for pleasure, and were cowardly and arrogant! So they rushed forward and believed that as long as they bared their fangs, they could scare the Song army.
Among the Song army, a man silently untied his hair, letting his long hair float in the bitter cold wind outside the border, with his hair hanging on his face, and he could only see his face by chance. He shone with the luster of bronze, and a hideous and wild ghost face suddenly appeared in front of the people of Xixia!
The battle that day was a nightmare for the Dangxiang people! Under the leadership of Lu Shouqin, the security guards flocked out. The leader was tall, with loose hair, wearing a bronze mask, and rushed into the Western Xia army, invincible!
There was no challenge, no ambush, no traditional fighting method of the Song army in the minds of the Dangxiang people, only fierce and fierce, desperate attack! Five-headed and forty-year-olds were dispersed and directly rewind back to Li Yuanhao's central army. The Western Xia army ran away and fled directly from the security army, and then stopped and trembled. Ask: Is that person just now... really a person?
Behind them, the Song general finally got the bronze mask, revealing a young and handsome face, but unfortunately there was a tattoo on it - he was a criminal mate.
The first formation of the famous general Di Qing of the Song Dynasty at the age of 32 made his opponent, Dangxiangren, frightened! He was born in poverty and his brother fought with others at the age of 17. He was assassinated for his brother and was assassinated to join the army. In the words of the time, he was a thief who was "the cheapest among the cheapest". According to convention, he was selected into the capital and was incorporated into the imperial guards. Song history said that "young people have ambitions", but once he had ethics, even ideals, not cowardly, and was not cowardly, and was not popular in martial arts. Whether it was a Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, he was not popular. Li Yuanhao rebelled, and he became the first group of imperial guards sent to the frontier, and assigned him to the most important frontier position. I don't know if this is a heavy use or a punishment? But a legend of iron-blooded began like this... Di Qing rose up in the bad luck of the country, defending his own country with bloody battles, and became the courage of the Song army in the northwest battlefield!
After defeat in the first battle, Li Yuanhao turned around and chose Chengpingzhai to try his luck. This time, Li Yuanhao withdrew all the dead heads and sent 30,000 people from the Dangxiang headquarters! This number never appeared in the Li Jiqian era. It was only at this scale when he attacked the famous Tubo city of Maoniucheng four years ago. But that was the city. This is the "city" village, which is a fence used for defense, and is extended to a camp. Then its scale and strength can be imagined. The attack with 30,000 cavalrymen, the large and powerful Xixia army rushed straight to the gate! But what he never expected was that the gate suddenly opened, and the Song army rushed out like a security army. Facing the Dangxiang elite soldiers passing by Ping Uighurs, fighting against Tubo, and sweeping the entire Hexi Corridor, the Song army chose to go out of the city to fight in a field and fight close at hand-to-hand!
Fierce battle broke out, and flesh and blood were flying outside Chengping Village. History did not record whether the 30,000 Dangxiang cavalry were put into the battlefield at one time. However, the Song army rushed out of the village gate, but they dared to fight and win, and the Dangxiang people were quickly defeated. On the day the enemy was defeated, but the Song army disappeared into the village and lined up outside the village gate. They knew very well that they had just encountered a battle and the enemy was caught off guard. At this time, when they entered the village, the enemy made a comeback, and the situation was as bad as the situation... If you want to fight, you have to understand!
Sure enough, the Xixia army gathered again, and this time it slowly pressed down, without the arrogance and arrogance at the beginning. The situation became more obvious after the initial fierce battle. The Dangxiang people clearly saw the number of Song troops outside the village gate and the defense strength of Chengping Village... As long as you are serious and heavy, victory will still be firmly grasped in the hands of the Dangxiang people!
But the problem is that the Song army did not think so. The two armies lined up, and the Song army was silently waiting for the battle, but the Dangxiang people were in chaos. After a while, the formations separated. A foreign warrior with distinctive armor stood up. He was lucky, holding his saddle and opening his mouth... The Song army held his breath and concentrated, but he heard a lot of dirty words!
This is the warriors of the Western Xia, this is the respect of the Dangxiang people for the enemy. The Song army's response was that the whole people continued to remain silent. Their general suddenly set his bow and arrow, and shot the Dangxiang card's big mouth with one arrow. Then the entire army moved, put pressure on the Xixia people, and prepared for a second charge!
But without charging, the huge Xixia army chose to retreat for the second time after a commotion. The battle that day ended, the Song army could not really drive away the Xixia people, but the situation of surrounding the village attack was not formed, and Li Yuanhao's pre-war budget was once again lost. After the reconnaissance, he realized that his luck was really better: Chengping Village is really not too big, but the guards inside were actually the governor of Yizhou and the commander of Xu Huaide on the Fuyan Road! Chengping Village was not his guard. He happened to be passing by here by patrols, and Li Yuanhao was lucky and hit the iron plate!
Afterwards, Chengping Village became a hedgehog. Li Yuanhao's army surrounded it and chewed it. But day by day, on the 6th day of the battle between the village, he broke into the Song Realm for half a month. Li Yuanhao suddenly ordered: Go immediately and retreat to the north of Hengshan immediately!
Something happened to his nest. The Song army not only fought in the Security Army, Chengping Village, but they had a large number of troops entering the territory of Dangxiang. They had very good results. The front-line military camp in Xixia, Houqiao Village, was broken, and from the defenders to the materials were looted by the Song army!
That was led by Gao Jilong, the commander of Huanqing Road, Zhang Chongjun, the governor of Qingzhou, Wu Ying, and others. Several groups joined forces to counterattack and enter the Dangxiang territory when they were attacked on Fuyan Road. The intention was very obvious. Li Yuanhao, why do you have to defend when you attack us? You and I will attack the enemy territory at the same time, let's see who has greater lethality!
Chapter completed!
