The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 90

The reason why the old man of the Han family has high prestige is not only because of his seniority, but also because he is a very capable person.

Few of the younger generations of the Han family knew who Chen Tongai was. Although Han Chunyan was only a little transparent when he was young, he generally knew what he should know.

For example, when my father resigned from the position of Xiangzhou and returned to his hometown in Xiangzhou to take up a post, he actually came back to clean up the mess.

At that time, Han Chunyan was still young, and he was not very outstanding among the Han brothers, so he didn't know exactly what happened at the beginning, but he just vaguely heard that his family Aunt had some relationship with a martial artist named Chen Tong'e, and he even didn't hesitate to face Visit on holidays.

Hearing the words of the old man and his nephew today, the combination of the two made Han Chunyan understand the doubts he had back then.

What doubts?

Han Qi looked down on martial arts, but why did he hand over to that old army leader named Chen Tong'e.

As for Han Qi's discrimination against Wufu, that's a long story.

Han Qi and most of the civil servants in the Song Dynasty have a bad habit, or it should be called paranoia.

They feel that they are well-read in poetry and books, and are familiar with history, especially those that record wars. They know everything by heart, even reciting it fluently. Then they feel that they are very good.

It can only be said that if these great minds were given a few ounces of yellow soup when they were in their mother's womb, they would not be so drunk. It would still be the kind of collective fetal drunkenness.

These Wuhou Zhonghu who are per capita drunk are very quick in thinking. Whenever they encounter a war, they will take out the classic battle examples in the annals of history, rub their brains, and come up with a "perfect" strategy, and then let the generals lead the troops to go. implement.

If the generals lead soldiers and blind cats and run into dead mice and really win, it is naturally the credit of the drunk Wuhou Zhonghu. The generals are just tool people, what kind of bicycles do they want!
But if you lose or even fail miserably, eh!The strategy of Marquis Wu is perfect, without any loopholes. It must be that those thieves and soldiers have broken hearts and did not strictly follow the strategy. He also wanted to harm me, the contemporary Marquis of Wu.

This is not possible!If the tool is not used by the person, kill it and replace it with another batch.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty have basically done this kind of routine, including Han Qi.

For example, during the Kangding and Qingli years, Xixia Li Yuanhao led his troops to invade Yanzhou and defeated the Song soldiers at Sanchuankou (Battle of Sanchuankou).

Han Qi appeared on the stage at this time. He called back his little friend Fan Zhongyan who was being demoted, and formed Team Rocket with another famous official named Xia Song. The three little friends went on the stage happily. battlefield.

In response to the offensive of the Xixia invading army, the fledgling Han Qi is naturally not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, so he will work hard with his head set.However, Fan Zhongyan suffered from fetal drunkenness a few times earlier, thinking that it was not easy for a tool man to play offense, so he focused on defense and waited for the enemy to vent his anger.

Xia Song, who made up the head, was so drunk that he was a little at a loss, and then the matter was brought up to let Emperor Renzong of Bianliang City make a decision. Xia Song sent Han Qi and Yin Zhu, who represented Fan Zhongyan, to go in person Bianliang each presented its strategy.

This was so urgent that the top group of the Shaanxi Jinglue Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty had to run all the way back to the capital to find the emperor to judge whose strategy should be used. There was no one left.

Han Qi is so smart!On the way back to Beijing, they specially did ideological work for Yin Zhu, but they persuaded him, and then they went back to Bianliang City for a cutscene in front of Renzong, and happily returned to the battlefield.

At this time, Han Qi was full of ambition, and he sent his newly recruited "little brother" Yin Zhu to find Fan Zhongyan and asked him to join the army.

Fan Zhongyan, who was put together, was not used to his little friend, so he replied directly: "Get lost!"

Han Qi looked at it and said: Brother, I want to share the credit with you, why are you so shameless!

never mind!Who told us that we have a good relationship?

Even if you don't help, brother will share the credit with you!We are so generous, don't thank me!
Then, while reporting the plan, Han Qi ordered the army to attack.

In February of the first year of Song Qingli (1041), Li Yuanhao of Xixia led an army of [-] to attack Weizhou, and Han Qi sent General Ren Fu to lead [-] soldiers to meet it.

Originally, the [-] Xixia army is just an imaginary number, at least two-thirds of them are auxiliary soldiers, civilian husbands and the like (it can also be called militia), and the real soldiers are only [-] to [-] (but most of them are Cavalry), and Da Song is still the defender, occupying the advantage of the city's geographical advantage.

Ren Fu's [-] soldiers are more than enough to stop the Xixia people under normal circumstances.

It's a pity that it wasn't the general who commanded the main force that really decided the fighting style of the main force, but Han Qi who was playing tricks from the rear.

Before leaving, Han Qi instructed Ren Fu face-to-face and ordered them to go around behind the Xia army, fight if they could fight, and set up an ambush according to danger if they couldn't fight, and cut off their way back.And in order to prevent the frontline generals from making their own claims, Han Qi also warned Ren Fu: "If you disobey orders, even if you have meritorious service, you will be convicted and executed."

Ren Fu had no choice but to lead his troops forward, detouring all the way according to Han Qi's strategy, from Zhenrong Army (now Guyuan, Ningxia) via Huaiyuan City to Nalongchuan (now northeast of Xiji County Piancheng), and will soon arrive at Deshengzhai (now Xiji County) Ji County General Taipei), after passing Desheng Village was the end point of this march, Yangmu Longcheng (now northwest of Xinglong Town, Xiji County).

At this time (February [-]th), the vanguard of the army discovered that the Zhenrong Army was patrolling the west route. Chang Ding and others were fighting with the Xixia Army south of Zhangyi Fort (now Zhangyi, Guyuan County). Ren Fu immediately sent troops to help the battle. Defeated the fighting Xixia army and beheaded thousands of people.

At this time, Ren Fu's army was less than a mile away from Desheng Village and only more than forty miles away from Yangmulong City.

As a frontline commander, if Ren Fu chooses to retreat at this time, it will be a victory both strategically and tactically.

But how dare he retreat?

Before leaving, Han Qi made it very clear: If you don't go according to plan, even if you come back after winning the battle, I will kill you.

So there is a record in the history books: Ren Fu was greedy for merit, and his soldiers rushed forward.

Before the army set off, Han Qi believed that the forts were only forty miles apart, the roads were convenient, and the baggage was nearby, so he would have no worries.Therefore, Ren Fu did not bring the food and grass with him. He sent a team of about 2000 people to Deshengzhai to collect the food and grass, and at the same time, most of them rushed forward. Haoshuichuan in the east was surrounded by the Xixia army, and they fought for a whole morning.

Um!According to historical records: the Song army was short of food for three days, and the men and horses were exhausted.

We don't know why we were hungry for three days in the morning.

This was the Battle of Haoshuichuan, one of the three major defeats of the Great Song Dynasty. 16 generals including Ren Fu were killed on the spot, and more than [-] elite soldiers died in battle.

After the results of this battle came out, Guan You was shaken, and Renzong ate for it.

Most of the shit that was defeated in this battle was pinned on the head of General Ren Fu, who was dead anyway, and the dead would not refute.

Then Xia Song, the leader, was held accountable and dismissed.

This guy did a disgusting thing. When he sent people to collect the bodies of the Song soldiers who died in the battle, he found Han Qi's official document admonishing the generals from Ren Fu's clothes, hid it, and then went to the The table said that Han Qi was not responsible for the defeat.

Hong Mai of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in "Xia Yinggong's Benefits" in Volume No.12 of "Rongzhai Essays Sibi" that "Yinggong (Xia Song) is a virtuous person, but later the scholar-bureaucrats may not know it, so he expressed it."

This kind of appearance of scholar-bureaucrats helping each other to shirk their responsibilities without being ashamed, but rather proud, was almost common throughout the Song Dynasty, and it was also a great spectacle.

So Han Qi, who was the chief culprit for the failure of this war, was transferred to another person for the superficial crime of improper employment.

The tragedy is that Fan Zhongyan, who really had no responsibility at all, followed suit and was transferred to another job with Han Qi, highlighting the friendship of a small partner who shared difficulties.

　Chapter 1 to.

　　There was no need to add so much to this chapter, but the three major defeats of the Renzong Dynasty were really disappointing.

　　In the three battles, the generals were not loyal and brave, and the soldiers were not good at fighting. However, they were forced to die by a group of Zhao Kuo and Ma Di. In the end, a excrement basin was placed on the heads of the soldiers who died in the battle.

　　And this kind of thing is not one or two special cases, but a series of tragedies throughout the whole Northern Song Dynasty.

　　The first famous victim of the Song Dynasty was Yang Ye.

　　In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were countless civil servants who played the role of Zhao Kuo and Ma Di. The more famous ones were Kou Zhun (but he won), Pang Ji, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Lu Dafang, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Wang Shao ( This guy is one of the rare people who has transformed from Zhao Kuo on paper to a real Zhao Kuo's father)... Wait, I can't say it. It can be said that all famous civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty Those who have worked in the Northwest have basically done this.

　　There are indeed a few awesome people in it, but most of them are amateurs, and Sima Guang is the worst among them.

　　This guy dug a hole and buried Pang Ji (Pang Ji took the blame for him), and he was scared out of his wits. Since then, he never dared to talk about military affairs. , it’s best not to fight.
