This time, no one agreed to him to act recklessly, but he just killed him! The reason is to put aside the chaos inside the barbarians, he has a major purpose - the enemy killed the imperial court official. Regardless of whether the official is an extra bastard or not, this is an open provocation to the government! You have always been dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty. If you don’t deal with this situation, the stall will be in chaos in the future!

The battle situation spread out, and the entire Jinghu North Road began to turmoil. Zhang Dun advances quickly, Yi, Qia, and the barbarians of Dingzhou fleeing in panic. The situation is gratifying, but in fact no one is happy. Everyone has learned the lessons before, knowing that Zhang Dun is blew over by a storm, and wherever the officers and soldiers go, the chickens, dogs, people and animals are gone in an instant. The situation in the Song Dynasty is very good, but there will always be a day when the troops are withdrawn... The barbarians will come back again!

In November, the Su family, the largest clan of Meishan Dong barbarians, surrendered, which was an unprecedented positive signal. Zhang Dun then broke the previous record of all the Meishan barbarians in the Song Dynasty. He did not fight and ran away, and retreated troops to restore them! Instead, he transferred more than 14,800 Meishan barbarians and more than 60,000 acres of mountain fields into the Song Dynasty household registration. Zhang Dun carefully visited and set taxes from various places. In order to recruit preferential treatment, the taxes of these mountain people were reduced by half compared with the mainland, and only paid one tax per year. Zhang Dun also built Wuyang, opened the Xiacheng, and set up Anhua County.

If you do this, most people will take it as soon as possible. The task is completed and the standards exceeds the standards. What else should you do? Zhang Dun is still not satisfied! Meishan has done it, and there are two rivers in the north and south behind it!

On 17th of the 6th year of Xining (107), the Western Xia army invaded Qinzhou and was defeated by Liu Weiji.

In the late month, Wang Shao took the initiative to attack again, targeting Muzheng in Hezhou City. The first battle attacked Xiangzi City, the city that must pass on the road of Hezhou.

When Xiangzi City fell in the battle, Wang Shao rushed to Hezhou without stopping. Hezhou was the base of Mu Zheng, one of the two leaders of the Hehuang Tubo tribe. His grandfather, Oslo, was dominating the northwest back then. Even if his strength was inferior to him 40 years later, can he defeat Wang Shao's lonely army go deeper?

What is surprising is that Wang Shao actually defeated Mu Zheng in one battle, abducted his wife, and recovered Hezhou! What happened? Mu Zheng, are you too embarrassed for your grandfather?

But there are two very important reasons that may be worth noting. This is the fundamental reason why the Song army's strength has skyrocketed unprecedentedly! First, the excellent weapons. With the Song Dynasty, there have always been several magical weapons, unique to the Song people who were at the top of technology at that time. Later generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties could not be copied at all! At this moment, it appeared in Wang Shao's army!

1. Killing the horse sabre: This kind of knife was manufactured by the imperial court officials, and the sample knife was handed over to the Shenzong. The Shenzong was overjoyed. Its blade was long, its handle was 1 foot long, its knife head had a large ring, its fine steel was shiny, and it was invincible. During this period, tens of thousands of pieces were built to equip the Song army.

However, although the horse-knife is powerful, it is not unique to the Song Dynasty. The second type is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Song people - the Divine Arm Bow! Because its effectiveness is too powerful and its craftsmanship is super complicated, until the demise of the Song Dynasty, the Song army always abides by an iron discipline: no matter whether it is chasing the enemy or retreating troops, no matter how dangerous the situation is, it must be carried with the Divine Arm Bow! It is too late? Then smash it! Never let the enemy know its original appearance! This is the advanced part of the Divine Arm Bow! Once it is demolished, even if the original is there, you can never imagine the assembly successfully! This can be confirmed in the notes of Ji Xiaolan, a great talent in the Qing Dynasty. The production pictures of all the components of the Divine Arm Bow are in the "Yongle Encyclopedia", but even so, Ji Da Talent still cannot copy it!

So there has been a saying that the Divine Arm Bow is just a legend, it does not exist or is exaggerated... But the fact we see is: in Sichuan, in Xiangyang, the Jin army, which is invincible in the world in the future, and the Yuan soldiers are in a mess under the Divine Arm Bow. The nomadic people who are known as good at shooting have suffered many casualties in front of it, and they are defeated by the two armies in the shooting!

According to historical records, the Divine Arm Bow was developed in 1068 by Li Ding, a Qiang native of the Western Xia Dynasty who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and presented it to Emperor Shenzong. Then, Zhang Ruoshui, the deputy minister, and Li Ping, the Xishang Pavilion Gate, improved it. The size of the Divine Arm Bow body, the length of the string is 5 inches, and the total length of the arrow wood feathers is only a few inches (about 0 cm). The range is more than 40 steps (about 50 meters) and 50 meters. The power is "half-grape into the elm wood"

This power comes from the structure. It is not a single wooden bow, but a composite. It is made of various materials: "with tuning as the body, sandalwood as the trunk, iron as the head of the head of the spear, copper as the horse's face, and thread-tied rope as the string." After the finished product, the string force is so strong that it is impossible to pull it away with your arms. You have to put the bow on the ground and step on it with your feet to get an arrow... So in fact, it is not a bow, but a crossbow!

The famous Jin Wushu Wanyan Zongbi was shot in Sichuan by it, hiding behind the rocks and gasping for breath, unable to raise his head... At this time, Mu Zheng was honored and unfortunately became the first person to eat crabs...

The excellent weapons are secondary, and more importantly, the command of the army is more important! At this point, the Song army had a very strange phenomenon! At this time, before Wang Anshi's reform, the combat effectiveness of the Song army in Ren and British dynasties was generally low. Every time they fought against Liao and Xia, they lost more than they won. However, Wang Anshi's reforms were only less than a year until Wang Shao fired the first shot on the Xihe side. In such a short period of time, the combat effectiveness of the Song army was completely different...

There is also the Jingkang disaster. The Jin soldiers regard the Song army as grass, and often defeat the Song army with a ratio of one victory of a thousand. But just a few years have passed, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu brothers can all beat their opponents and win a complete victory!

What's going on? The people of Song Dynasty are always there! As long as the civil servants who are trash and corrupt, the emperor will surge at any time without suppressing them!

Back to the battlefield, the "he" in Hehuang and Tubo had been taken down. But not long after I was happy, news came immediately - something happened in Xiangzi City later!

Mu Zheng was very tenacious. He knew that the fatal weakness of the Song army was the young war horses. As long as he used the traditional advantages of the nomadic people and circled around the vast desert, the Song army would soon be dizzy and exhausted by me like before, right?

The battle situation really developed as he imagined. Wang Shao ordered his general Tian Qiongxing to march at night and must arrive before the fall of Xiangzi City! Tian Qiong did it. He led his army to Xiangzi City and immediately fought with the Tubo people. As a result, the entire army was destroyed. There was nothing we could do about it. Mu Zheng besieged the city and fought aided the help. In this case, even the elite soldiers in a hundred battles would be useless...

Mu Zheng was very proud. It was nothing if Xiangzi City was not defeated, I could live in a tent! Now I have found a way to deal with Wang Shao - mobile warfare! Just like Yelu Xiu Ge defeated Cao Bin back then...

But before dawn, he met the Song army again. It was the second group of rescuers sent by Wang Shao. Mu Zheng didn't understand what happened to the Song Dynasty people? Why did one group just die and another group kill him? But nothing, one to kill one! So Miao Su was wiped out again...

But immediately followed Wang Shao's main army also appeared! Only then could we understand Wang Shao's combat thoughts: exchange life for time! The first group of Tian Liang and the second group of Miao Zu were just chess pieces, with the intention of dragging Mu Zheng's hands and feet and nailing him to the spot! Until the army was in place, the general attack was taken and the main force of the Tubo army in Hezhou was killed!

Mu Zheng was not stupid either. Whether he saw Wang Shao’s intention or not, he knew that he could not fight the Song army hard. He started over in circles, but this time he was slower. Two days later, he was blocked by the Song army in the battle. The fierce battle began, and the Tubo people were arrowing like rain, and then they ran away - huh? It was probably the rain of arrows on the Song army that was even heavier?

The arrow could not shoot the opponent, and what was even more depressed was that the Tubo people found that they didn't seem to be able to run away. They escaped for dozens of miles and still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Song army. In the end, they threw down more than 4,000 corpses before barely escaping...

The battle was cut by more than 4,000, and the brilliant field record! But the old story repeated, and before Wang Shao was happy, the news came again - Mu Zheng ran to attack Hezhou, took advantage of the emptiness of the Song army and recovered his nest and went to the city to sleep...

At such a heavy price, the method of exchanging life for time was used, but the battle returned to the starting point. Hezhou was still from Tubo!

Thinking about the previous war records of the Song Dynasty's active attacks, you will find that Wang Shao fell into a pit! The Song army was always unstoppable at the beginning, and was defeated in a stalemate, and was defeated in the end. What is the exception to Wang Shao's face of the Tubo people at this time [31 Novel Network]?

Yes! Wang Shao is a miracle in the military history of the Northern Song Dynasty. His method of victory is completely different from the famous Han generals of the Han and Tang dynasties before. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated him head-on to many degrees. Li Jing, Li Shiji, Hou Junji and other Tang generals were cunning and alert, and they often suddenly started, making it difficult for aliens to defend themselves... In the Song Dynasty, Wang Shao did not have the large corps conscripted by the Han army and the cavalry units of Hu Feng in the Tang Dynasty, and he was destined to have limited strength and no speed. But he told the Tubo people with his actions - you have fast horses, and the Han people have brains!

When the Song army fights, they must first win strategically!

On the 7th of the month, the reformists launched the 11th new law - the establishment of the Jingyi Bureau. Wang Anshi personally took charge of the promotion. His son Wang Rong and his first assistant Lu Huiqing were the editors. He presided over the writing of the meaning of the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu" and "Zhou Li", saying that the "Newly Meaning of the Three Classics" was issued as soon as possible after the compilation of the "Three Classics" was completed, and it was used as the basic textbook of the Imperial Academy and the standard book for the imperial examination!

On the 7th, Li Qiande, the Renzong of the Li Dynasty, was appointed as the Prince of Jiaozhi County.

Xiao Zhu, the governor of Yongzhou, was happy to talk about his troops. The restless civil officials envied Wang Shao's achievements in opening the border, so he submitted a memorial to propose to attack Jiaozhi and take back the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties! Shenzong was very happy, so he ordered Xiao Zhu to be the governor of Guizhou. Xiao Zhu entered the court, and Shenzong asked about the strategy of winning Jiaozhi. However, he did not expect that Xiao Zhu would reverse the previous words and emphasized the difficulty of destroying Jiaozhi. The emperor was disappointed, so he ordered Wang Anshi's confidant, Shen Qi, the judge of the branch, to serve Xiao Zhu as the governor of Guizhou, and was responsible for opening the border. On April 5, Shen Qi submitted a memorial: I would like to deal with the military affairs in the future in the future. The court followed it. Another battlefield of the Shenzong Dynasty was about to be opened!

On the 6th, Wen Yanbo dismissed the Privy Councilor.

This month, facing the flood and raging Yellow River, which is constantly breaking, this is a major issue that both the old and the new party must start to manage. So Li Gongyi asked Li Gongyi to present the method of iron dragon claws to lift mud trucks, which aroused Wang Anshi's great interest. He specially set up the Yellow River dredging department, taking Fan Ziyuan as the capital, and Li Gongyi was under his command. He was preparing to use the "Iron Dragon claws to lift mud trucks" to first dredge a section of the Yellow River from Weizhou to Haikou to take a look...

The camera switched to Jinghu North Road in the south to see what Zhang Dun was doing? Meishan was done, but Zhang Dun was not satisfied because there were two rivers in the north and south behind...

However, before sending further troops, Zhang Dun thought of a very important thing. He conquered the barbarians. Not only did he have to collect taxes every year, but he also had to establish schools in the local area to promote the poetry and calligraphy etiquette respected by the Han people to the barbarians! This matter is of great significance. To prevent the barbarians from rebelling again and again, only by changing their thoughts can it be a real solution!

Under this situation, on May 1, the Nanjiang Manchu Xiang Yongwu, and the Shu Guangyin tribe could not stand it anymore. They surrendered to Zhang Dun. The gap in the Nanbei River finally opened, and the barbarians were no longer a monolithic! Of course: there were also those who were always dissatisfied, such as Tian Yuanmeng. This brother had a firm belief. No matter what the social situation was, whether he robbed or killed people, it was now very immoral criminal acts. It was the only correct way to live the ancestors and was extremely beautiful! Well, it was reasonable for him to think like this. Didn’t be kind-hearted and gentlemen like Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi think so too?

On June 7, the first new law of military reform was introduced - the establishment of military weapon surveillance. Lv Huiqing presided over the weapons manufacturing. The three departments were originally responsible for the manufacturing of weapons. Although the number of weapons made was large, the quality was poor, and it was difficult to meet the needs of internal and external wars at this time. Wang Rong suggested that the establishment of military weapon surveillance was specifically responsible for the manufacturing of weapons, and the relevant officials were rewarded and punished according to the quality of the weapons made. This reform had a great effect. A few years later, the Song Dynasty had sufficient quantity and high-quality weapons to ensure the needs of internal and external wars.

On September 11, Emperor Shenzong personally presided over the martial arts examination in Chongzheng Hall. Originally, the Privy Council took the martial arts examination. If the candidates were unable to write policy theories, they had to take the military books and dictate the dictation. One of the two must be taken! Wang Anshi firmly opposed: This is a martial arts examination. Do you think you are taking the Jinshi exam? Can you become a general if you can write "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and other things? Be careful to get a Zhao Kuolai who talks about war on paper!

On the 18th, Mo Linqin, the leader of Tubo in Minzhou, surrendered to Wang Shao. At this point, the first phase of the Xihe border battle ended. Wang Shao turned to the battle on the 54th, 1,800 miles, recovered the five states of He, Tao, Min, Die and Dang, recruited more than 00,000 foreign people, and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. It was the largest border operation against foreign tribes in the Song Dynasty, and at the same time completed the flank siege of the Xixia Kingdom! Of course, it was a pity that Mu Zheng still missed the net in the battle under the ancient city of Hezhou...
