King of Song

Chapter 550 Think of a way
Mu Zheng was a little anxious, his envoy had been to Qingtang City for a long time, and the letter was sent to Qing Yijie Guizhang, but the reinforcements did not come.

Will He Huang sit idly by?Mu Zheng shook his head lightly, it's impossible for them not to understand the truth.

Uncle Dong Zhan may not be as wise and powerful as his grandfather Jiaosi Luo, but he can be regarded as wise. He must understand these principles.Needless to say, Qing Yi knotted a ghost, that guy is the most feared.

But why didn't the reinforcements come?
Mu Zheng thought about it, and probably guessed something.Rescue is certain, but delay is also inevitable.

After all, although Hezhou nominally belongs to Hehuang Tubo, it has existed independently for many years. The conflict between Dong Zhan and Xia Zhan may dissipate over time.However, the subordinate relationship between Hehuang and Hezhou is difficult to change. For Hehuang, Hezhou will always be a part of it, and it will be recovered as long as there is a chance.

In the past, it was a problem left over from history, and Hezhou was needed as a buffer zone with the Song Dynasty.But now, since the Song Dynasty intends to use troops against Tubo, the existence of the buffer zone is meaningless.Especially with such an important geographical location of Hehuang, how could he fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty people?
Therefore, Dong Zhan will definitely send troops to rescue.

But what about after defeating the people of the Song Dynasty?Is it still possible to let Hezhou exist aloofly, let Mu Zheng rule alone, and make himself king?Dong felt was not stupid, it was impossible for his nephew to do this.

It's just that if he blatantly attacked Hezhou, he would inevitably be suspected of fratricide, and the difficulty was not small, and he would waste his internal strength for nothing.

Now the invasion of the Song Dynasty people is definitely a godsend opportunity. With Mu Zheng's request for help, the Hehuang army can enter the territory of Hezhou logically.The Tubo people of the same origin also easily accepted them, especially after defeating the invaders of the Song Dynasty, they must be grateful to them.

Although Hehuang has ulterior motives, and can even be said to be a bit despicable, but only the upper-class figures like Mu Zheng understand, how can ordinary people understand?They only think that the Hehuang people helped drive away the enemies and helped them regain their homeland.Moreover, as Zanpu, Dong Zhan also has a strong sense of belonging in the hearts of Tibetans.With this, Hezhou can be taken over smoothly.

As for the original owner, Mu Zheng, he naturally objected, but what can he do?In the previous battle with the people of the Song Dynasty, his strength had been exhausted. At this time, he was unable to challenge his uncle Dong Zhan, so he could only hand over Hezhou obediently.

Although Mu Zheng felt that Dong Xing's actions were a little unethical, but he didn't resent his uncle, if it were him, he would do the same.

In many cases, resisting foreign enemies is not a very simple matter.War is also a form of diplomacy, and diplomacy is a continuation of internal affairs.Taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen internal unity, Dong Xing was right as Zanpu.This kind of strategy of borrowing a knife to kill is not uncommon, it is not clever, but it is very practical.

Mu Zheng saw it clearly, but he couldn't do anything!
Hezhou's status is very embarrassing and its strength is also very weak.In a special period, we can use the struggle among countries to maintain a delicate balance.

But now, this balance has been broken, and it is impossible for Hezhou to maintain its independence, and the end is destined to lean towards a certain side.

As for which side it is, it has something to do with the current situation, and there is also Hezhou's choice, which is actually related to Mu Zheng's personal choice.

The Xixia people withdrew from the game temporarily, and Mu Zheng's choices could only be the Song Dynasty and Hehuang.

Surrendering to the Song Dynasty will end badly, and will become a caged bird in the future, and may die suddenly and inexplicably at some point.It is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there were many vivid examples.

Of course, in the end he had to fall to Hehuang, and the ending was not much better.

It's just that after all, they are from Tubo and belong to the same family. When they can't threaten the status and rule of Dong Zhan and his son, they can still survive.

If you can maintain some power, you should still have certain rights, and maintain a certain status and treatment, which is much better than surrendering to the people of the Song Dynasty.

Maybe this is fate, sometimes life is so helpless!
What Mu Zheng can do at this moment is perhaps to preserve as much strength as possible, so as not to destroy all the foundations of Hezhou. In the future, even if he bows to his uncle Dong Zhan, he will have a little bit of strength to protect himself.But sometimes the power is too strong, but it will cause others to be suspicious, and maybe it will not be a good day.

well!Who knows what will happen in the future?

Mu Zheng shook his head lightly, now he can only take a step and watch.

At the beginning of the war, the morale of the Song army was very strong, and the soldiers were in full swing. It was absolutely unwise to fight recklessly with the people of the Song Dynasty at this time, and they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Anyway, Hezhou has a vast land, so it doesn't matter if you lose some land first, the most important thing is to preserve your strength, and it won't be too late to counterattack in the future.Mu Zheng also understands the principle of exchanging space for time.For the tribes on the prairie, as long as there are people, the land and pastures can be snatched back sooner or later.

Consuming the combat power and endurance of the Song army, making them arrogant soldiers, and then looking for an opportunity to launch a counterattack with the advantage of the location.Furthermore, Mu Zheng did this with the intention of forcing his uncle Dong Zhan.

When the land in Hezhou was being eroded little by little, and it was getting closer to Hehuang, could uncle Dong Zhan still be so indifferent?Only if they can send troops earlier, can they have the strength to fight the Song people.

I have to say that Mu Zheng is really not easy, and he has been trying his best for these things recently.

Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo also worked hard!

The two of them led the army into the territory of Hezhou, and it was as if they had entered the land of no one. Except for some cities that could not be moved, most of the Tubo people disappeared.

For a long time, they didn't find the Tubo people at all, and they couldn't even talk about fighting them!
In this case, what if a large amount of Tubo is occupied?What's the point of all grasslands and forests, but no one?Even the enemy can call war just to see it?
They had no choice but to stay on the spot, and then report the news to the Xizhou base camp, asking the coach Wang Shao and deputy Lin Zhao to make a decision.

Jing Sili is a very cautious person, although this situation went smoothly, it was too smooth.The most terrifying thing is not being able to find the enemy. If you keep moving forward, who knows what will be ahead?
Maybe the Tubo people are waiting for an opportunity somewhere, waiting to attack themselves?It is not uncommon for such examples to fight against grassland tribes.It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone, so we must be careful.

For such a result, Wang Shao and Lin Zhao were also very helpless!

"This wooden sign is not simple. It has some ability, much better than his father's blind." Wang Shao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"No, he is deliberately delaying and not fighting with us!" Lin Zhao said, "Although it seems to be a last resort, it is still a good countermeasure." The scene where Mu Zheng meets.This person is completely capable of acting on his own, capable, and cunning!Today's performance is the best proof!

"Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo are cautious people. They have stopped now and asked what should they do next?"

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Their decision is right, Mu Zheng's move is obviously a tactic to exhaust the troops!"

"That's right!" Wang Shao said: "The morale is like a rainbow, but if this continues, the soldiers will get used to it and lose that vigor!"

"Mu Zheng is very smart. He knows that he can't take advantage of the battle with our army now, so he uses such methods to delay time and consume our army's morale and physical strength." Lin Zhaodao: "Maybe he will send another Some small groups of troops deliberately lost to us, and if this continues, the soldiers will probably breed pride."

The tradition of Heaven/Chaoshang Kingdom makes many people born with a kind of pride.Seeing that there is no resistance from Tubo soldiers, some people think that it is the arrival of Song Tianwei, and the Tubo people fled in anticipation.There are not a few soldiers with such great thinking. If it continues to spread, what will be the consequences?
Lin Zhao couldn't help being a little worried, not to mention, Mu Zheng is really a talent, and he has such a precise grasp of Song Jun!

"Yeah, I'm also a little worried!" From the very beginning, the burden on Wang Shao's shoulders was not easy, and Zhao Xu placed high hopes on her. The tasks that need to be completed in this battle have achieved extraordinary results.Wang Shao is under pressure, but he also knows that this is an opportunity. If he succeeds, he will be famous all over the world.

Before launching the army, Wang Shao was full of confidence, thinking that although the Tubo people were brave, this battle was a little difficult, but it seemed that it would not be difficult to win.But after the actual war started, Wang Shao discovered that the situation was worse than he expected, and many things were a little tricky.The outcome, progress, and cost and outcome of the war may all change.

The pressure is not small!
Lin Zhao could also feel that because of Wang Anshi's matter, Zhao Xu could be said to have been completely defeated in court.At this time, for the sake of his imperial prestige, he almost pinned all his hopes on the battle of Xihe.In this case, how could Wang Shao not be under pressure?

Of course, Lin Zhao also has them, but the purpose is different, the expected results are different, and all moods are naturally very different.

"Is there no movement in Hehuang?"

Wang Shao shook his head and said, "It's quiet at the moment, there is no movement at all, it seems a little abnormal!"

Lin Zhao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not abnormal. Dong Xing must have his own considerations. He wants to snatch Hezhou from Da Song and take it as his own. Obviously, Mu Zheng also realized this. He retreated on purpose, maybe he didn't mean to put pressure on Dong Zhan!"

"What should we do? If it continues like this, it's not an option, especially if Dong Zhi suddenly sends troops, then their strength will be much stronger, and our troops are not that sufficient!" Wang Shao looked worried.

"Yes!" Lin Zhao also murmured, "I have to find a way?"
