The struggle of the reborn prince

Remember Oh!

Zhao Tun's army moved forward to break through the Yehe Stone Fort, which was the last fortress leading to Xiazhou. The distance to Xiazhou was less than 15.00 miles ahead, but the main force defending the fortress was only some 'Makui' who were usually in charge of washing, cooking and carrying luggage. ..Xixia has a custom that all people are soldiers. The country expressly stipulates that women can join the army. The female soldiers who enlist are called Makui, or Zhai Fu. They not only undertake logistical chores during the war, but also fight and kill the enemy. It is the first time in Chinese historical records that women are allowed to join the army legally, and their total can account for about [-]% of the total force.

Even though she is a female soldier, her fighting power is not weak, and she is very tenacious in combat. Zhao Tun failed to persuade her to surrender, so she had to destroy the flowers with her hands, and waited on her with guns and guns. She blew up the gate of the village and took the fort. , He was not very sorry, the battle had reached this level, which meant that the men who could fight had been transferred, and the casualties were heavy, and the follow-up was weak.

After capturing the Yuhe Stone Fortress, Zhao Tang only left a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield, and the large group of troops passed through the city without stopping and went straight to Xiazhou.Along the way, they changed horses without changing people, and rushed towards Xiazhou City non-stop. Except for a small group of Xia Jun scouts who appeared from time to time on the road, there was no formed army to stop them. It only took them two hours to see the Xiazhou city wall. But outside the city, the sound of killing was loud.

The Xia army who besieged Xiazhou City was completely defeated after Xiao Heda was seriously injured and fled in the wild. At this time, he had already become a frightened bird, and when he found out that the army had arrived, he no longer had the will to fight, and immediately wanted to go home. Zhao Ren discovered that Xia's army had changed.Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the east, knowing that the reinforcements are coming, they immediately mobilized troops to fight out from the east and west gates.For the past thirty days, they have been passively beaten every day in the city.He had never ridden a horse before, and although the casualties were very small, he was not feeling well, and now he had a chance to vent his anger.

After the volley of guns, the "Stone Wall" of the Zhongyong Army charged, and the east and west were like two powerful iron arms embracing the Xia army who was running a few thousand slower. After several times of collisions, the enemy was divided into several pieces.Those who were sensible dismounted and then surrendered, and those who resisted all dismounted, but they were chopped off and shot down... and the reinforcements of the loyal and brave army who came quickly also went into battle.After chasing Xia Jun for thirty miles, his remnants fled into Qihao Mountain and entered the territory of Youzhou.

The setting sun is like blood, blue blood and yellow sand, and the smoke of gunpowder is still there.Zhao Tun entered Xiazhou City under the afterglow of the setting sun. The flag of Hedong Army Commander and the banner of King Yan were raised at the top of Xiazhou City at the same time, so he inspected Xiazhou City first without taking a rest.Visited the wounded and paid homage to the fallen soldiers.Condolences to the soldiers who have stood firm for more than a month.Looking at the familiar faces, they became thinner and darker.But when they matured, a big battle washed away their childishness, and they were finally proud to be called soldiers, and when they saw the smiling face of the prince again, they all burst into tears. When the prince arrived, they were like people who left home The child finally saw his parents and had a backbone again.

"My lord, Zhao Ren, the commander of the loyal and brave army, handed over the order!" The lord's camp was set up in the original Xiazhou Duhu's mansion. A commander of more than 15 people rushed to attack Xiazhou City. Fortunately, they did not disgrace their mission. They captured Xiazhou City, captured 2000 shi of grain, surrendered 34 craftsmen, held the city for 310 days, killed more than 21 enemies, and captured 680 enemies. , our army killed 140 seven people in battle, [-] people died of illness, [-] people were heroically wounded in the battle, [-] six people were lost due to illness, more than [-] guns were lost, and none were lost or captured by the enemy. Excessive consumption, excessive wear of machine guns and artillery, weakened firepower, had to shrink troops to enter the city, causing a part of Xia's army to rush into the city, causing losses to the prince, and the prince will be punished in the end!"

"Hehe, you did a good job, even better than I expected. With such a small loss, you crossed the five hundred miles of sand and sea, captured the important town of Xixia, secured the food and grass needed for the follow-up army, and attracted a large number of Xia troops. Creating the conditions for the complete annihilation of the Xixia Eastern Expeditionary Army is really a great achievement, let alone punishment. You have a good command and a good dispatch, I should thank you!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"This is all planned by the prince. The soldiers work hard, and the last general dare not take credit for it!" Zhao Ren listened to the prince's praise, of course it was very useful, but the superficial work still needs to be done, and he hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, let's not talk about it from time to time. Merits are merits and demerits are demerits. There is nothing to be modest about. You have compiled a book of those who have contributed to the Battle of Xiazhou, and I will ask the Holy One for your credit!" Zhao Tong waved Waving his hand, he said impatiently, "Zhao Lian, take over the city defense temporarily, let Zhao Ren and the others rest for two days!"

"My lord, let's serve dinner. I haven't had a drink for a long time. I'm so hungry!" Zhao Yong shouted impatiently, licking his lips after seeing that Zhao Ren had finished his work report.

"Hehe, you must have been drinking secretly. You haven't drank for forty days. Who would believe you if you tell me!" Gao Chong and Zhao Yong teased as they had similar temperaments and had the best relationship.

"Brother Gao, I really haven't even touched a drop of alcohol. If you don't believe me, ask Zhao Ren!" Zhao Yong said anxiously.

"Okay, I believe you, what's the rush, as long as the prince agrees, I'll get drunk with you today!" Gao Chong cupped his hands.

"Okay, tonight, except for the combat troops, you can drink alcohol, but not too much. Zhao Zhi will reward the three armies by slaughtering cattle and sheep tonight. The banquet will be placed in the square in front of Yamen, and we will have fun with all the troops!" , The results are brilliant, Zhao Tun is also happy, said the order.Of course, the prince's order was unanimously supported by everyone, who shouted in unison...

Three days later, Zhao Tun appointed the magistrate of the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department?p>

At this time, Tong Guan was sitting in Guyuan, and the [-] Shaanxi army was also divided into two groups. They sent troops from Cutniu City and Xi'an City. Baozhai has penetrated deep into the hinterland, and the Hedong Army has reached Xiazhou, and its soldiers are pointing directly at Lingzhou.The whole country of Xixia was shaken, if Lingzhou was lost, Zhongxing Mansion would be hard to protect.

Xia Zhu Li Qianshun was in a panic, Yudi Chage's life and death are unknown, and now there is no trace of him, as if he had disappeared from the world, and General Xiao Heda was seriously injured and unable to go into battle.Without the support of Brother Cha, the forces in the court ebbed and flowed, and criticisms of his strategy of emphasizing literature over military affairs resurfaced. Li Qianshun could only appease the important ministers, while sending Xian Wangwei named Anhui as the capital to command the army to resist the Song army, while Urgently sent Pu Wang Renzhong and Shu Wang Renli to Liao and Song respectively to discuss peace talks.

Wei Ming Anhui was ordered in danger, and most of the troops on the right side were wiped out. Only the [-] Lingzhou Army was still intact. He could only abandon a large area of ​​defense, shrink his troops, and abandon Youzhou and Yanzhou. Chibi Qingye transferred his troops to Lingzhou , Implement key defenses; in addition, gather elite reinforcements from Xiliang military divisions, wait for an opportunity to counterattack, expel and annihilate the Song army.

......

Zhao Ji sat in the imperial study room, with memorials piled up in front of him, but he didn't care to review them, frowning very depressed, nothing went well these days.At this time, the Sea Alliance between Song and Jin had been lifted, and rumors about the alliance between Jin and Liao were rumored, but Prime Minister Cai Jing's attitude was not clear, and he kept silent all the time.

In fact, this is no wonder Cai Jing, although he actively participated in planning the military operations of the Song Dynasty in the Northwest during the Daguan period, but later as the situation changed, Tong Guan gradually took control of the military power in the Northwest, and Cai Jing became more and more out of the situation.At this time, Cai Jing asked himself if he really didn't know much about the situation in the northwest. Under such circumstances, of course he could not make any guarantees about the situation in the northwest, and he dared not say anything about the attack on Liao.But Zhao Ji was thinking about the merits of not seeing the world, and it gave him the feeling that Cai Jing was deliberately against him.

Another thing is the flood in Kaifeng a month ago, the surrounding water system suddenly burst its embankment, the water surged towards the city wall of Kaifeng, and the flood flooded to the bottom of the steps of the imperial palace.At this time, manpower has nothing to do. Previous examples have proved that when the flood comes, we can only let it come, and we can flood wherever we want.

At the critical moment, he had to figure out a way by himself, Zhao Ji thought of a large number of gods accumulated in the city.If the gods can pray for rain, they will definitely be able to retreat the water, so Lin Lingsu passed the decree, and the Taoist priests went to the city to retreat the water.On that day, the Taoist priests went out in full costume with their magic weapons, and they boarded the top of the Kaifeng city. To a group of Taoist priests, beating people upside down, running away with their heads in their hands, that's called a spotlight.

Among the beaten team, the most conspicuous one was Lin Lingsu.He is the key target of attack. Thinking about his more than 2 disciples spreading mischief in every corner of Kaifeng City every day, how many ordinary people want to eat him alive.When things got serious, Zhao Ji never expected that the amiable and lovely Lin Daoshi would have such a big public outrage.At this time, Cai Jing and others took the opportunity to exert their strength to shake off Lin Lingsu's bad deeds over the years.

In anger, Zhao Ji dismissed him and sent him back to his original place of management, but before he got home, he blew up the lamp and pulled out the wax. The magistrate's memorial is still on the case, saying that the boy fell into a madness within two days of leaving Beijing. , talking nonsense, rolling all over the floor, with snot and tears all over his face, and then his spirit deteriorated day by day. When he got home, he couldn't even get out of the car, skinny like a skeleton, and died in pain.Thinking that this kid had been happy for him in the past, Zhao Ji softened his heart and ordered the local government to give him a generous burial.

Zhao Ji didn't feel sorry for Lin Lingsu's death. His cash cow, Yang Jian, also closed his eyes yesterday. Over the years, he has been in charge of the inner garden, repaired gardens, built palaces, and collected a lot of money to enrich the inner treasury. He was his right-hand man, but it's a pity that 'died young', 'love the family, and have a big burial' Zhao Ji approved the words on the memorial again, put down his pen, and his face became even more ugly.

"Report to the Holy Majesty, the messenger from Hedong has arrived, Prince Yan has won great victories, defeated Yulin and Shizhou, and defeated Xiao Heda, the governor of Xiazhou in Xixia, beheaded thousands, and sent troops to Xiazhou!" A small yellow gate reported loudly.

"Okay!" Zhao Ji stood up in surprise and shouted. The second son is still caring and always brings good news to himself...

Remember Oh!
