Chapter 367 A gentleman, the king is a son (4)(2/2)

If you want to implement the strategy of siege Wei and rescue Zhao, you must go deep into the enemy territory and launch a severe blow to the enemy. Then you must have a strong army, not only large numbers, but also essence. Where is the essence? You have to train in time. The time is too short to practice, so you can only pay heavy funds to stimulate it.

This is temporary. Once the combat effectiveness keeps up, it will be suspended at any time. This wealth will still be used to save the imperial military expenditure.

As for this official position, it is also for the purpose of mobilizing the army and financial and material support to fight the invasion of the Western Xia. It is also temporary. No need to say Yang Kai. Once the war eases, I will take the initiative to propose and cancel this official position.

When I talk about separatist rule, did you look at the map? There is Tubo below and Xixia above. In this gap, there are only the territory of Weiyuanjing and two small border troops. If you want to separatist rule, is the head of the person with this idea broken?

Then he talked about the military plan.

Don't ask me why I'm practicing military service. I'm about to fight. I'll attack Tiandu Mountain, reward the easiest mouth, Weizhou City, Mingsha City, and spread the war to the enemy's territory. After seeing whether Yuan Hao dares to raise elite troops from all over the country at will and attack me unscrupulously.

Then I talk about a gentleman. What is a gentleman? A gentleman is a talented and virtuous person. What is a virtue, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and concession.

I don't meet this standard, I'm not a gentleman.

Yang Qi called himself a gentleman, so I thought about why Yang Qi called himself a gentleman and what did he do?

Disagreement with Xia Shu and nonsense, resulting in weak troops in the northwest.

Fearing that Yanzhou was lost, someone held him accountable and forged an edict. He did not make any contribution, but he boasted of his contribution afterwards.

The soldiers from Fulin Road, including Gao Jixuan's reinforcements, and even counted the ration army led by Wang Ji, only more than 20,000 people were required to face the attack of more than 100,000 enemy cavalry. His Majesty ordered Yang Kai to know Taiyuan at the time of his reign, hoping that this gentleman would turn the tide.

But His Majesty issued an edict to send troops to help, what did he do?

Let the court ignore tens of thousands of loyal to His Majesty and fight bloodyly, and ignore the lives of soldiers guarding the territory. Let the court ignore the safety of the country in the future, let the Majesty lose this most important northwest gate. Let's ask, once the Fulin Road is lost, Xixia can respond with the Khitan at any time, attack Daizhou, or cross the Yellow River, attack Lanzhou, and reach Taiyuan at any time, and be attacked from both sides. What should the country do?

He also said that training the army should not disturb the people.

Fulin Road is at a critical moment of life and death. When he trains the army well, will it take ten or twenty years? Can a small Fuzhou and Linzhou last for ten or twenty years?

May I ask your Majesty, ministers, have you ever thought about this question?

Why did Yang Kai do this?

The reason is very simple, greed for life and fear of death!

But there is no need to say more.

But I understand one thing, no wonder there are so many gentlemen in the court, I don’t know other gentlemen, but I know Yang Kai’s gentlemen, a gentleman, and a king is a son.

When connected together, the king is the son and the gentleman is the king's elder.

In fact, their goal is to make the emperor a puppet and an obedient and good son.

The Song Dynasty was slightly better, especially the Ming Dynasty.

Most people say that the emperor is not good or bad, but how many people have reflected on the consequences of the rampant literati?

You are not me, how dare you publicly do such a thing as deceiving your superiors and hiding your subordinates? You are greedy for life and fear of death, and you also have to warn Zhao Zhen to teach you a lesson. Your Majesty, you must love the people.

After writing this, Zheng Lang smiled. He was happy by Yang Kailiu.

Then, Liu Zhen and others’ records of the battle process of Fulin Road and the military achievements of each soldier were placed in the memorial, and the paint was lacquered and sent to the capital.

But instead of using an expedited letter, he sent it to the capital in an ordinary way.

Deliberately slow down the speed.

In this way, even if the court reflects and supports Fulin Road, it will be after the Second Battle of Tumaochuan. Otherwise, I would not know which general I sent to come. Once it is a general, Yuan Hao would have a beautiful outdoor battle, and his memorial would make a mistake.

Let it slow down. Even after the second defeat of the mediocre general and Tumaochuan attacked Xixia, Yuanhao's army was disintegrated, and Yuanhao was not in the mood to rob the Song army. Even if the troops were in good hands, Zhang Kangneng would have a beautiful pursuit battle to expand the results when Yuanhao retreated in a hurry.

Seeing his subordinates sending the memorial to the post station, Zheng Lang looked at his wife and two daughters and said, "I want to go ahead. You are in Weizhou City and you are not allowed to go out, do you know?"

"I know, official, you have to take care of yourself."

"Um."

"Officials, other officials have not gone to the front line, why do you want to go to the front line?" Sier said unfairly.

"So other commanders did not win the battle. Sier, think about it, why could the Khitan be forced to join the city of Chanzhou back then? It was the morale brought by the imperial commander personally. The more afraid of death the soldiers on the front line were, the easier it was to lose the battle, the more they would die. I went to the front line, which was just a boost of morale and also increased the possibility of victory."

But Sier still reluctant to leave.

Zheng Lang kissed her little lips, kissed her two daughters, then put on her armor and left Weizhou.

But Zheng Lang was not worried about this battle.

I may lack the ability to command myself, but some people, old people, and Di Qing, are they still worried about?

This is even more so for troops.

The Xixia people had 500,000 troops, which were confirmed one by one.

Yuan Hao extracted 150,000 people and stationed tens of thousands of troops in the Hexi Corridor and Shazhou. There are also some troops left at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. Most of the troops at the foot of Helan Mountain and Xingzhou City were not helpful. In fact, they only faced the troops in this range south of Lingzhou, west of Yanzhou, and east of Jingshan.

If it is normal, there are more than 100,000 troops distributed in this area. But now there is not, and it will shrink by at least one-third.

And they were not together. Unlike the Song army, the Song army was an army and was organized. Xixia had few formally organized troops because of the poverty of the country. Most of them were usually shepherds or peasants, but they were converted into soldiers until war.

How long does it take to convert these people into soldiers and gather them together?

In other words, I only faced 50,000 or 60,000 enemy troops scattered everywhere.

When the Xixia army gathers together or Yuan Hao comes back, he will end the battle long ago.

Wang Yong also brought back the fourth letter of intelligence, which also confirmed this point and did not dare to observe it carefully, but the military camps in various places were severely shrinking. Except for some states and cities, there were very few soldiers in various forts and battalions.

Building a Thin Waist City can also react. If the troops are strong, would the people of Xixia watch the Thin Waist City be successful? It seems that although Fan Zhongyan has successfully built a Thin Waist City in history, the Xixia army has launched constant harassment. It was Fan Zhongyan who used a plan to transfer the army away and the Thin Waist City was built. This also proves the weakness of the Xixia army in the south.

As for what kind of results you can achieve in the end, it can only depend on how far Yuan Hao can be dragged. The longer the delay, the greater the results you get from this attack.

The wind is whistling and the river is cold.

Although the temperature this year is not as cold as last year, it is located in the northwest, and the howling northwest winds also bring coolness.

Zheng Lang suddenly turned his head and looked at Dongfang.

He has always been disgusted with the gentleman Yang Kai. He did not trample him to death last time. This time the memorial was presented. There was another great victory that could completely kill a hypocrite.

He shouted: "Go!"

Xiaoqing took the guards behind him and trotted towards Zhenrong Village.

The group gradually disappeared into the sky outside Weizhou City. The sky was full of yellow and yellow mountains, with murderous aura.
