Chapter 390: I'd rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world
Zhao Gou was amused after getting Zhe Keqiu's table. He immediately added a number of the general manager to Zhe Keqiu, asking him to supervise the garrison troops of the northwestern prefectures and counties such as Fuzhou, Linzhou, Fengzhou, Volcano Army, Baode Army, Jinningzhou, etc. In fact, it was to guard against the Western Xia.
Although the Dangxiang people are also licking their wounds, the latter's strength has almost exhausted after decades of fierce battle with the Western Army. Especially the successive defeats during the Huizong period, especially the failure of the Hengshan battle, which is really very weak.
To be honest, if Tong Guan had not underestimated the enemy and forced Liu Fa to send troops to command Ancheng, and even if a generation of famous generals and nearly 10,000 elite elites were stained with blood, Xixia would have been beaten so hard that it would have been impossible to escape from Hetao and fled to Hexi.
But no matter how weak the Dangxiang people were, they could gather 100,000 troops. In the six or seven years after the truce of the war, they had already survived the danger of national destruction!
Now the princess of the Xia lord Li Ganshun was once the Princess Cheng'an of Liao Kingdom. When Emperor Tianzuo lost his country, he once sent someone to ask for help from Li Ganshun. The latter first sent 5,000 troops to reinforce Datong in Xijing, and then sent general Wei Mingliang to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Emperor Tianzuo, and fought with the Jin general Wanyan Loushi on the bank of the Yichuan River, and then the Xia army was defeated.
However, after the heavy losses, Li Ganshun was still friendly to the Khitans. He sent troops to rescue Liao three times, but was blocked by a partial division of the Jin army and could not advance. Then Li Ganshun abandoned the Khitan and turned to the Jurchens.
Then in the first year of Jingkang, Li Ganshun took advantage of the opportunity of Jin soldiers to attack Zhao Song and sent troops to capture many castles built by the Song army on the borders of the two countries. He also seized Zhenwu City in Song territory, captured Jianning Village in Xi'an Prefecture, Linzhou, and other places. Finally, he took advantage of the victory to conquer Tiandu Village, besiege Lanzhou, plunder and retreated.
So, don’t look down on Dangxiang people.
Even if the Dangxiang people have not recovered their vitality, they are still a great enemy.
Zhao Gou asked Zhe Ke to command the garrison troops of the prefectures and counties in the northwestern Jin Dynasty, and his only purpose was to ask him to fight against the Dangxiang people. This was the old master of the Zhe family.
Zhe Keqiu was also aware of his qualities. After he got his order, he immediately sent troops to Jianning Village.
Jianning Village was unknown in later generations, but it was famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of the four large-scale battles launched by Li Yuanhao in his life, he was defeated here. At the same time, Jianning Village was also the largest military camp among the five military camps between the two states of Linfu. At its peak, 1,500 troops were garrisoned, while the remaining four camps were only between 300 and 500.
Its importance can be seen.
It can be said that the fall of Jianning Village has hindered the transportation between Fuzhou and Linzhou to a certain extent. The most convenient routes of communication between the two states were cut off. According to Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, the strategic thinking, most of the military camps and forts built by the Northern Song Dynasty in the northwest rely on the dangerous conditions of mountains and rivers, and have convenient transportation for transporting troops and grain. A few military camps also have fertile fields that are suitable for agriculture and herdsmen. The vast majority of state officials and border generals are here to recruit exiles, immigrate to enrich their immigrants, and gradually they can achieve self-sufficiency.
The northern border of Guanzhong is Mizhi, Qingjian, Wubao, Jiaxian, Suide, Ansai, Zichang, etc., and they are all built in the Song Dynasty city walls.
Jianning Village is also such an important place. It is occupied by the Dangxiang people, and the threat to the Zhe family is self-evident.
But before that, Zhe Keqiu never had the momentum to launch troops to Jianning Village. The reason was that the Song Dynasty behind them was no longer safe, and relying solely on the power of the Zhe family, he was no match for the Dangxiang people.
But now the situation has been repeated again. Zhe Keqiu brought people to fight fiercely. He used the thunder in his hands and wiped out thousands of soldiers in the village without much effort to retake it back.
Later, relying on the favorable terrain of Jianning Village, he defeated the invading Xixia army and captured and killed no less than 3,000 Dangxiang troops.
After receiving the news, Zhao Gou was happy again and made the war report public, which attracted a lot of praise from the public.
The Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin people and had no psychological advantage over the Liao army, even if the Liao Kingdom had already perished. However, they still had a certain degree of self-confidence in the Xixia people. The repeated victory of the Huizong period and the Dangxiang people laid a solid foundation for them.
At that time, Xixia wanted to kneel down to be a grandson for the Song Dynasty, but now Li Ganshun took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to rob and put down the enemy. Such actions would mean that all the military, civilian, officials and gentry were not ashamed of!
Now the Song Dynasty freed up his hand and slapped it. Seeing that the Dangxiang people failed to steal the chicken, the military and civilians in Hedong, Hebei were even more relieved and happy.
In Daming Mansion, a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.
A group of drinkers just finished talking about Xixia.
"...The King of Yan has 200,000 elite soldiers and thunder in his hands. The Jin people are not opponents, so there is no need to say much. I am just waiting for the king's army to get the Lingwu back. In this lifetime, I can return to my ancestral land to worship my ancestors. That is willing to die." A fat-headed and big-eared merchant said with a little emotion.
Since Li Jiqian (Li Yuanhao's grandfather) seized Lingwu, he has been in a foreign land for more than a hundred years. Although he had settled in Hebei for a long time, if one day he could return to his ancestral land and worship his ancestors, it would be that their ancestral branch had been the wish of the ancestral branch for more than a hundred years.
"The emperor, those who are strong and powerful should do it. Now the King of Yan holds the Tiger Ben Majesty Army, and the Jin people are not enemies. How can the Zhao Guan family in the south resist? It will be only three to five years since the world is reunified. Once the King of Yan has mastered the world, will he let Dangxiang and Jin people go? This notice can already show the king's attitude. The official does not need to worry too much, just wait patiently for a while, and he will definitely fulfill his wish." The speaker sat next to the fat-headed merchant, and he was born with the same fat-headed and big-eared ones.
"Yes. Is it so good? Is it so good? God asked me to have a hero like the King of Yan in the Central Plains, and I have the gods to bless the destiny, and I will be able to pacify the world soon. In this way, the world will have at least a hundred years of peace."
"Brother Zhao said this. I was frustrated by the Khitan in the Central Plains, frustrated by the Dangxiang, and frustrated by the Jin Cap. Just when I thought I was going to put on my hair and golem on my left, the court had a great figure like the King of Yan, who was a world-class figure. Wouldn't it be a great success?"
"What is the best thing that comes from bad luck or bad luck? I don't have that great ambition to the country, I just want to be safe. People in troubled times are not as good as dogs. My relatives and friends have lost dozens of lives in these years, either by swords or by injuries. I feel cold in my heart and cold in my heart. Therefore, let the rise and fall of the imperial court and the honor and disgrace aside. As long as the peaceful years can be reappeared, I will be grateful."
All the people at this table were rich businessmen in Daming Mansion. In the troubled times, the poor people suffered, so why didn’t they suffer? Hearing the man spoke in the end, they all fell silent for a moment.
The Jin soldiers went south twice, and the Xuanhe riots were not taken down. But this does not mean that the Daming Mansion was not damaged, nor does it mean that the relatives and relatives of these wealthy businessmen were all in the Daming Mansion, or hid in the Daming Mansion.
Who has few relatives and friends who died?
"The years of peace, the years of peace. If you haven't experienced the troubled times, then you don't know that the years of peace are precious!"
The fat-headed and big-eared merchant said with emotion, and the drinkers around him agreed.
The Song Dynasty was not so declining a few years ago, but since the Emperor Daojun came to power, there have been many wars and bandits in the world. The life of the people was Wang Erxiao's New Year, and every year was worse than that of one year.
By the time of Xuanhe's Northern Expedition, the people in Hebei were exhausted, and more than the people were unlucky, and the merchants were also suffering. Everyone was suffering.
