On October 25, Zhao Qi led the generals of Hedong to bid farewell to the two groups of Shaanxi. At this time, the Song army in Lingzhou reduced by half. Not to mention the attack, even the defensive forces were inevitably stretched. The generals were inevitably depressed, but the bad news was not stopped.

These.

The scout camp roaming outside Lingzhou intercepted the messenger sent by the Jin marshal Wanyan Zongwang to the Western Xia. The book said, "The Liao Kingdom has been exhausted, and I advised the Western Xia to recognize the situation. As long as he surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and captured the Liao Emperor Yelu Yan.

Xi, the Jin Kingdom would cut the land northwest of the Liao Kingdom and south of Yinshan to Xixia. The letter was extremely capable of coercion and temptation. At this time, Xixia lost a large amount of land, and the Jin Kingdom promised

It is extremely attractive to Xixia!.

Shunzi in the capital also sent back the news at the right time. He observed that the purpose of the Xixia delegation in the Ming Dynasty was to lobby important officials in the court to discuss peace with the Xixia and stop the Western Expedition. Their goal of bribery was the newly in charge of the government, Wang Fu and Li Bangyan.

And Bai Shizhong, who returned to the court, scattered gold, silver, jewelry and dirt like dirt, and the sound in the court changed drastically.

Liang Shicheng mentioned the emperor many times about the dynasty, saying that the Song Dynasty attacked Xixia, and he could never escape a vicious circle. That is, the beginning was that there must be frequent reports, and a huge pit would be waiting there in the future. He also mentioned Yuan Dynasty

The example of Fengwu's attack on Xia was that Li Xian led a large army to conquer Lanzhou; Wang Zhongzheng captured Youzhou; Zhong Yankemizhi; Gao Zunyu captured Qingyuan Army; Liu Changzuo defeated Liang Yi in Moqiai and buried the main Xia army, and Song Junwu

Lu Jiebao flew into the capital. However, he besieged Lingzhou City for 18 days and could not capture it for a long time. The Western Xia army decided to revolve back into the Song camp and cut off the food route of the Song army. A large number of Song army drowned and died. Only the survivors were

More than 13,000 people.

Later in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, in view of the experience and lessons of conquering the states of Xixia during the Western Expedition but not being able to defend it, the Fuyan Road Strategy and Pacification Envoy Shen Kuo and Deputy Envoy Zhong Yan suggested building a city in the Hengshan area as a bridgehead to explore the Western Xia. Shenzong was the

The dispatched officer Xu Xi and the eunuch Li Shunju went to manage the matter. But the result was that Yongle City was defeated, with a huge loss of 100,000 soldiers. Lingzhou and Yongle were defeated twice, and the Song army and the soldiers and the border was defeated by Shu Qiang.

Six hundred thousand people died in the war, and the cost was even more astronomical, which could not be counted as such. It would definitely be a big deal for vomiting blood and losing money.

Liang Shicheng's words were like "revelation". Zhao Ji remembered the events of that year, as if he was right in front of him. His father had high hopes for the battle in Lingzhou. When Zhongye heard the news of the defeat, he got up and walked around the bed, unable to sleep all night, so he was contaminated.

Disease; Yongle was defeated. The Song Dynasty once again suffered losses and returned in vain. When Shenzong received the news of the fall of Yongle City, he cried and cried with grief and did not want to eat. In the morning court, he cried bitterly when facing the assistant ministers crying, and the ministers dared not look up to him. The battle of Yongle was great

The stabbing of Emperor Shenzong is known in history as "When Yongle was in a state of conquest, he knew the difficulty of using troops. So he stopped fighting." After that, Emperor Shenzong was not only weakened, but his condition also worsened. His physical condition took a sharp turn, and he was in deeper than three years.

Farewell to the world in deep disappointment.

Even more than ten years ago, after taking over the throne, Zhao Ji, who had just ascended the throne, wanted to take advantage of the victory to win the Western Xia again. As a result, although he had won a lot of victories against the Western Xia, the Xixia people combined with the remnants of Tubo.

After the counterattack, he could not hold on under the pressure of the Liao Kingdom and quickly negotiated peace with Xixia. The current situation is very good for him. If he stops when he sees it is better now, it will be considered as both internal and respectful.

Wang Fu and others used the needle to instigate the court officials to write a letter to attack Liao, saying that the Western Xia was just a "moss on the skin" and that the Liao Kingdom was the "confident". When the victory of the Western Expedition was achieved, it should adapt to the situation and stop when it was better.

It is the main thing to negotiate peace with the Western Xia as soon as possible, and to mobilize the Western army to prepare for the attack on Liao. The Jia Wang Zhao Kai also took out many illegal things in the northwest collected by the Imperial City Department, saying that he had the right to gain troops and ruled the northwest

Suspicion. Although the prince didn't say anything, he also expressed his concerns about Zhao Qi's rise in private, worried that he would endanger his position and could not escape the suspicion of secretly fueling the fire. Under the attacks from multiple parties, Emperor Zhao Ji continued to go west.

The battle and seizing Xingzhou began to hesitate...

Zhao Qi knew his father very well. He was a guy who thought he was smart and wanted to become a hero. However, in addition to being smart and heroic, those who accomplished great things also needed a firm mind that could withstand blows and pressures.

But he lacks the qualities that a great person should have, his mind is full of fantasies and fantasies, and he lacks resilience in the face of danger. Once things go ups and downs, he often becomes weak and changes his mind, and uses some self-satisfied cleverness, but often

I don’t know the truth that “being greedy for small gains will lead to big losses”.

But God seemed to be testing Zhao Qi's strong nerves. The two worshippers of the royal palace, Lu Xiaoyao and Wu Song, came back in a hurry and brought back a reason that forced him to give up on his continued battle - Fang La's "Uprising".

Zhao Qi was not surprised by this result, and he had been waiting for the arrival of this day. Of course, he also hoped that it would be better not to come. For this reason, he also made efforts to purify the officialdom in Jiangnan. Give kindness to the people is to prevent civil unrest and strictly order everyone to be strict.

The government strictly investigated the Manichi religion. After arriving in the northwest, he was still worried. At the beginning of the year, he sent two major worshipers from the royal palace to Jiangnan to search for Fang La. He wanted to have a "beheading operation", but now it seems that it has been wasted.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you being possessed by evil spirits?" After Lu Xiaoyao and the others finished washing up, Zhao Qi had already set up a banquet to wash them, but found that Lu Xiaoyao was much more respectful to him, and there was no more

He asked in wonder that "a romantic and elegant man" looked careless.

"Prince, he is just being possessed by evil spirits. After hearing Fang La's rebellion in Jiangnan, he became sarcastic, always saying that the prince is not a human, but a god or other nonsense!" Wu Song was still the same as before.

, drink a large bowl of wine, pick up a piece of meat and chew it while chewing it.

"Prince, Xiaoyao went wrong. When I heard from Xi and the others that the prince could know the world, they just thought they were praising the prince. This time, Jiangnan and his party knew that the prince was a real god. As early as when they went to Jiangnan two years ago, the prince sent him to do so.

People searched for Fang La everywhere. At that time, I thought he had offended you. Even if we sent us to kill him this time, I still thought as before. But when he rebelled, I realized that it was not a personal grudge at all, but that he had known it was his purpose.

Rebellion!" Lu Xiaoyao said respectfully after saluting, "It's just that his subordinates are not good at doing things and fail to kill him. I'll ask the prince to punish him!"

"Oh, you can't blame you for this. If there is a great disaster in the country, there will be a monster. I originally wanted to go against the will of heaven, but God's will is hard to disobey. It seems that my Song Dynasty should have such a disaster!" Zhao Qi sighed and waved his hand. He is now

A small drum also started to play in his heart. After the Western Expedition, he defeated Xixia. He thought he was already changing history, but he didn't expect the wheel of the car to be pressed over his feet. Fang La rebelled and shook the foundation of the Song Dynasty and left the city of Five Kingdoms

One step closer, it seems that the struggle is not enough.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Qi asked the two to talk about Jiangnan. From their conversation, he understood that Lu Xiaoyao and the other two were not fools. They had been infinitely close to Fang La, but because they provided too few clues.

,There was another deviation, which led to the two missing the opportunity and the final mission failed.

Zhao Qi has always looked for people under the name of Fang La, but his name is rarely known in the countryside, and he is called Fang Shisan. This kind of religious secret association also works underground, and his members are named after the church.

Hu, he didn't know each other's true identities. He thought that Fang La could quickly gather tens of thousands of people to uprising, and he must be a great hero and a righteous and wealthy man, but from the information they brought back, he was outrageously wrong.

In fact, Fang La is just a little witch. When the first rebellion was launched, Fang La's wife was dressed up like a queen, and then she was embedded in her chest with a large bronze mirror, gently moving her lotus steps, and walking towards the sun.

From a distance, it was dazzling and the people didn't know it. It was rumored that Fang La and his wife had auspiciousness. Then he used the situation of the Song Dynasty to collect flowers and stones in Jiangnan, levying heavy taxes and oppressing the people, and rushing to the power of the church.

It eventually became a prairie fire.

After Fang La raised the scene, he killed Cai Zun and Yan Tan, the governor of Liangzhe Road, who had gone to suppress the army, and then went down the Xin'an River to the city of Qingxi. The county magistrate Chen Guang abandoned the city and fled, and the clerks also

The birds and beasts scattered, and the county town was lost. After seizing the county town, Fang La was elected as the new king, named Shenggong, and Yongle of Jianyuan. His wife Shao was the queen and his son Bo Er was the crown prince. He also appointed Fang Fei as the prime minister, Wang Qifo, and Chen Zuo

Tang is the military advisor, Tong Dagu, Tong Xiaogu, Fang Baihua and others are the generals.

After that, Fang La led his army to destroy Muzhou, occupied Xiuning County, and headed straight to Shezhou City. Li Ke, the governor of Shezhou, abandoned the city and fled at night, leaving only the southeastern general Guo Shizhong still defended the city. The spark could set off a prairie fire. More than ten days later, Tonglu and Fuyang

The people of Shouchang, Sui'an, Yuqian, Changhua and other counties obeyed the orders of the "Shenggong" and surrendered to them one after another. Their troops quickly grew to more than 200,000 like snowballs.

There are 15 military prefectures in the entire route of Zhejiang, with a total of only 19,000 infantry troops stationed. In addition to garrison and mission, less than half of the troops can operate mobile combat. Although they are regular troops, they are basically not trained in normal times.

, but it is often used to escort flower stones and serve labor. It is basically a battle formation, and it is basically a shattering moment, and has no ability to resist...

"The official army is incompetent and loses land many times. After the thief army broke through the city, it was extremely cruel to the captured officials of all sizes. They often buried themselves alive, digging their stomachs, cutting off their limbs, shooting them to death, and boiling them into ointment... The tragic situation made them

People can't bear to witness it!" Lu Xiaoyao sighed.

"Alas, the law of nature is clear, and the cause and effect are circulating. The people in the southeast are bullied by corrupt officials. They are asking for their own consequences!" Zhao Qi sighed and said, "The Rebel Army"'s extreme and unlimited practice indirectly proves that they have suffered from it.

The cruelty from the government's ravage, the people hated them to the core, and he did not sympathize with this, but now he can't even see the former killer leader. It can be seen that his methods are too cruel, and he uses this extremely tragic poison.

If you can do things, you will lose people's hearts to a large extent.

But what made Zhao Qi depressed was that they caused trouble but implicated himself. No matter how powerful a regime was, it would not be possible to overthrow it. The Western Army went south to suppress it was a foregone conclusion. It was imperative to negotiate peace with Xixia, and he would not be allowed.

If you don’t give up the victory in front of you and fail, it may be God’s will!
