King of Song

Chapter 555 Respectfully Invite the Holy Tribunal
Just like that, Mu Zheng ran away in a hurry!
Breaking out from Tabai City, he was worried all the way, and he didn't feel relieved until he found that the Song army hadn't pursued him.

To be honest, if Song Jun really pursued the victory at this time, his morale would be low, and he might not be able to organize a counterattack in a hurry.At least there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory, and the result will be bad after all.

But Song Jun didn't pursue it!Maybe it's because the generals of the Song Dynasty have always been timid!

Mu Zheng secretly guessed in his heart, somewhat relieved in his heart, thinking that this is the endless road, and it must be God's mercy and blessing for him.He felt even more wise how wise he was to break through decisively and preserve his strength.

If you lose even this bit of capital in your hands, then everything is really over!
If you can't turn defeat into victory today, it doesn't mean you won't be able to make a comeback tomorrow. The Han people have a saying that if you leave the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. It really makes sense.The fact that the Song army did not pursue them meant that they were also lacking in confidence. In this case, there is hope for a counterattack.

Just relying on a little strength in his hands, it is impossible to make a comeback, Mu Zheng smiled wryly, he still has self-knowledge.

Sometimes even if you have a strong heart and a resolute character, it is always your strength that determines success or failure.

I can't do it alone, so I can only find help!
The Song Army occupied Tabai City, there must be movement on the Hehuang Plateau, right?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Qing Yijie Guizhang was the first to receive the news that Mu Zheng was defeated and the Song Army occupied Tabai City.

I didn't expect it to come so soon, and the way was too unexpected... Qing Yijie Guizhang hesitated for a long time before she came to her senses and acquiesced to this fact.

In the end, the corners of his mouth were also bursting into bitter smiles.This time, the wishful thinking was in vain, and it seems that there is still the meaning of stealing chickens and losing money!
Not to send troops for the time being, to wait and see what happens, and reap the benefits of being a fisherman. This was proposed by Qing Yijie Guizhang himself.From this point of view alone, there is no problem.

But now the results are quite different. The reason is, where is the problem?Qing Yijie Guizhang pondered for a long time before trying to understand gradually.

Things did not develop according to one's own will and expectations.Variety!
Things don't stay the same, they change.

In his vision, the Song army gradually encroached and attacked Hezhou step by step, and Mu Zheng stood firm and fought hard. In his opinion, this process may last for a long time.

But how can things stay the same?Qing Yijie Guizhang ignores people's mentality and style of doing things.

It was precisely because of Hehuang Tubo's delay that Mu Zheng, who was isolated and helpless, had no confidence, did not dare to fight head-on with the Song Dynasty, and tried hard to preserve his strength.As a result, the endless fierce battle with the Song army that Qing Yijie Guizhang wanted to see did not happen!
The speed of Song Jun's promotion has been accelerated, which is unexpected.

But don't worry, Qing Yijie Guizhang is sure, no matter what, Mu Zheng must have a bottom line, and when he can't bear it, he will definitely make a move.Maybe it will give Song Jun a big surprise, maybe then is a good time for him to intervene.

As for where is the bottom line?It should be stepping on Baicheng!
Qing Yijie Guizhang also saw the meaning and function of this small city, and secretly thought so.

It will take time for Song Jun to advance here, so Mu Zheng will have the time and strength to fight against it!It would be best to let him and Song Jun spend a lot of time first...

Qing Yijie Guizhang's original intention remains unchanged!
Mu Zheng's power must be consumed, and in fact Zan Pu, Dong Zhan and Ali Gu are most concerned about this.The purpose of Qing Yijie Guizhang's concern is to let Mu Zheng explore the truth of the Song Army.

The result came soon, so fast that he had no time to react!
At least Song Jun's reaction and strategy shocked him. Tabai City was taken directly, and Mu Zheng was defeated in the first battle.The desired result appeared, but the part that exceeded expectations was indigestible!
He knows better than anyone what it means for the Song Dynasty to occupy Tabai City.It is not only related to the safety of Hezhou, the people of the Song Dynasty controlled Tabai City, and Hezhou formed a relatively closed sphere of influence. If the Hehuang Tubo wants to take it back, it will undoubtedly be a tiger's mouth!
In this way, the reason and necessity of He Huang's intervention are worth deliberating.Even if they wanted to rescue them, Song Jun had already taken the lead and gained a firm foothold, so it would be difficult to drive them away.

Even if he sent troops on his side, he would be blocked from Tabai City.

To the west of Tabai City belongs to Hehuang's territory. Previously, he, Dong Zhan, and all the high-ranking officials in Tubo wanted to control the scope of the battlefield in Hezhou and not affect the "local area".In this way, it will be more difficult not to harm Hehuang Tubo.

Now it seems that there is no such possibility.

The Song army was completely in a state of advancing and attacking, retreating and defending.But Tubo lost the barrier of Hezhou, and at the same time lost a good ally-Mu Zheng.

What Qingyi Jieguizhang wanted was to wait for Mu Zheng to retreat before arriving in time, so that he could join forces and use Mu Zheng's troops for his own use.There may not be many troops, but they can strengthen their own strength, and these people know the situation of Hehuang far better than others, so they have a greater effect.

But Tabai City was occupied, would he still have a chance to join forces with Mu Zheng?The two fight on their own, and face the powerful enemy of the Song Dynasty together!Generals like Qing Yijie Guizhang are naturally aware of the damage and disadvantages involved.

Of course, if you spend more time on the detour, you may be able to unite with Mu Zheng.But how precious is time on the battlefield?Furthermore, would people in the Song Dynasty tolerate Mu Zheng coming to join them?
From Qing Yijie Guizhang's point of view, the Song army is fully qualified to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but why did they stop in Tabai City and keep calm?He was very puzzled, especially after learning that the commander of this battle was Lin Zhaohui, he was even more confused.

No wonder Song Jun was able to succeed so easily. It turned out that General Lin planned and presided over it. Stepping into Baicheng is so crucial, it is the place that Hezhou must save, how could Lin Zhao not see it?

Now I realize it's too late

Lin Zhao used this move to force Mu Zheng to come out for a decisive battle, which was really just right.Qing Yijie Guizhang paid more attention to Lin Zhao at first, but now, he feels that his attention is far from enough.

Lin Zhaoyuan is shrewder and scarier than expected!
But why did he let Mu Zheng go?Is it cowardice?Would such a person be timid to venture into Hehuang alone?steady?This reason seems plausible, but...

Qing Yijie Guizhang always felt that things didn't seem so simple, Lin Zhao might be hiding something, but what exactly was it?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have the slightest idea.How did he know that even if he had other plans, General Lin was doing it for his own private affairs, how could General Guizhang figure it out?
What should I do now?This becomes a very straightforward, very intuitive problem.

Send troops?Now that troops are dispatched, the meaning and results are completely different.It's just that the fact that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold has not changed, and now the teeth are even colder, and measures must be taken.

I believe that Zanpu will have a decision in his heart, and he... Since Mu Zheng has escaped, will he sit and wait for death?Presumably I will come to find myself!
Qing Yijie Guizhang only felt that the pressure on her shoulders was much greater!Lin Zhao, this powerful opponent has already made a move, faster and stronger than expected, is he his opponent?

Hearing the news of Mu Zheng's defeat, Dong felt's pressure suddenly increased a lot.

Is Hezhou so vulnerable?It turned out that this piece was completely defeated?

Think carefully, he knows how strong Hezhou is, but he is not so weak, right?If Xia Zhan hadn't done anything, he would have already taken Hezhou back.I heard that Mu Zheng's talent is much higher than that of his father, so Hezhou's power should be stronger than before.

result……

All plans and expectations had come to nothing, and only then did Dong Zhan feel how ridiculous and self-righteous he was!I ignored the people of the Song Dynasty, and they were too greedy, so that the situation like today appeared...

It was not worthwhile to lose Hezhou, but in the end it was his own decision, no wonder others!
In this way, it seems to show that Song Jun's power is stronger, and the planner's plan is also higher!
Thinking of these two points, Dong felt a little anxious!

Tabai City is the gateway to the northwest of Hezhou, but it is the east gate of Hehuang. Now the gate has been opened.When Song Jun occupied Hezhou, did he keep his eyes on Hehuang?
Desperate to look forward to Shu, people are always so greedy!

What Dong felt is most worried about now is that the Song army launched an attack on Hehuang, but he heard that Mu Zheng escaped and was still active, so this matter may be delayed for a while.

Time is precious, and Mu Zheng is also very precious, as long as he exists, I can feel at ease for the time being.It's just that it's not a long-term solution after all, sending troops is certain, and we must give assistance to the remaining forces of Mu Zheng...

It's just how to operate it, Dong felt dare not act rashly.Now that Qing Yijie Guizhang has been appointed, let him take charge!

With a good strategy and a clear understanding of the situation in Hezhou, he is naturally the most suitable candidate. I believe he can handle it well!

However, we must wait... at least...

Mu Zheng, Dong Zhan really hoped that this nephew could ask for help again at this time.This time, I helped him without hesitation, regret it!I really regret it!
There is no way, the people of the Song Dynasty have already occupied Hezhou in fact, if Mu Zheng does not ask for help, it is difficult for him to intervene.Even if Hezhou theoretically belongs to Hehuang Tubo, even if Mu Zheng is his own nephew...

Teachers are famous, this thing is sometimes too important!
Qing Yijie Guizhang was also heartbroken by this. During this period of time, in the northwest land, it is doomed that few people can live in peace!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, when Mu Zheng, Dong Zhan and Qing Yi were troubled by Guizhang, at least Lin Zhao could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily!
Victory in the first battle of Stepping Baicheng, one hit is sure to hit!
The news has been reported to Wang Shao in Xizhou, and then sent to Bianjing quickly to report to Emperor Zhao Xu!
This should be considered good news!

After all, Mu Zheng had lost more than half of his troops, and Hezhou was actually under the control of the Song army. If he simply used troops against Hezhou Tubo, he would have succeeded by more than half.

The good news is a must, after all, it opened up two thousand miles of land for the Song Dynasty!

Bian Gong, this is something that many emperors dream of, to expand the territory, this feat can be recorded in the annals of history.His name will go down in history, and he will become a hero of a generation!
Zhao Xu should be very happy!So……

Wang Shao is a kind person, and Lin Zhao's role in the memorial has been reported, as well as related credits.

As for Lin Zhao not chasing Mu Zheng, it should be out of caution!

Although it was a little too cautious, Wang Shao could understand and said: "Dongyang, you are doing the right thing, it's not good to waste all your previous efforts, and the best thing is to win steadily!
"It's good that General Wang can understand. At that time, I was really afraid that under my own complacency, I would rush in lightly and underestimate the enemy, and something would happen..." Lin Zhao said it very sincerely, and even directly admitted that he was proud and self-satisfied. mean.But being able to control it in time is self-examination.

It is really not easy for young people to do this!The more so, the more Wang Shao admired Lin Zhao, and he didn't care about Mu Zheng's breakthrough at all!
Wang Shao would never have imagined that the purpose of Lin Zhao's going through so much trouble was him...Of course, it's just good to let him go...

"Dongyang, what's the next step?" Wang Shao asked softly. It made sense to ask like this, because Zhao Xu's will was said.If there is a chance, the target should be Hehuang Tubo.Just how do you say the word opportunity?Where is it so easy to control?This is really hard to handle!
Lin Zhao also showed embarrassment, and said: "Actually, according to the current trend, Hehuang can also be considered, but in this way, the scale of the war will inevitably expand, and more soldiers, food, and ordnance will be needed... "

If the scale of the war does not expand and the number of troops invested does not increase, how can I have the opportunity to control the Western Army?Naturally, Lin Zhao couldn't wish for it. For Tubo, war is enough, and war must be waged.

"That's right, now is an opportunity. It's a good start. If you don't move this time, it will be difficult to move in the future..." Wang Shao's words are very reasonable, and finally opened up a little situation in the Hehuang area.If Da Song didn't take the opportunity to deal with Hehuang Tubo this time, then the previous efforts might have been in vain.

For example, in Hezhou, can the Song army really hold on for a long time?According to this trend, Wang Shao is actually willing to continue fighting in his heart, but there are many concerns in it, so he is not sure for the time being.

Especially the timing, excuses, as well as the degree and method, these are the most difficult to grasp!
Wang Shao had little defense against Lin Zhao, so he was happy to discuss these matters with Lin Zhao.Although Lin Zhao is young, his knowledge and ability are really not bad!

No matter how Wang Shao treats him, he doesn't think too much about major events, Lin Zhao must plan for his own great cause.So he just said: "Mu Zheng's remnants haven't fully taken care of it yet, why don't you worry, the memorial to the victory in the first battle has already been sent to Bianjing, how about asking the official sage for this matter?"

"That's right, I respectfully invite the Holy Tribunal!" Wang Shao also thought so, Zhao Xu will definitely have an edict after receiving the memorial, so let's listen to the officials first!
