I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 328

The so-called encirclement and suppression of the middle road has always been a sword hanging over the heads of Zhong Er and Guo Kui, so that they will never forget such a thing.

But the exact time cannot be determined... It's not that Zhao Xi didn't give them time, it's that the specific battle situation can't reach that time.

Discipline during the war was quite strict, and regarding the strictness of His Royal Highness's enforcement of discipline, both Guo Kui and Chong Er had asked Cao Lin and Zhe Ke in private.

In a word, any of you who violated the discipline of the war, the guard battalion and even the soldiers of the new army are eligible to enforce the discipline on the battlefield.

Therefore, even a person with a temperament like Zhong Er still retains a considerable part of his vitality... Huanqing only mobilized a part of it, while the entire security army remained unchanged.

"This kind of child is exactly like Guo Zhongtong, with a very different style."

The movements of the East and West soon reached the headquarters.A group of civil servants surrounded the entire sand table where they fought against Xia, pointing and pointing.

Zhao Xi had acquainted with Zhong Er and Guo Kui before, that kind of inquisition.

I also know that one person is good at defending and the other is good at attacking.Didn't expect it to be so obvious.

In fact, the West Route Army was much closer than the East Route Army to complete the final siege and reach the designated position at that time, and even to capture Gaolan was much closer than the Jinning Army.

However, Guo Kui chose the strategy of defending first and attacking as a supplement.

As for the East Route Army, it will take a certain amount of time to complete the final encirclement and suppression, with [-] to [-] soldiers, including Zizhong.

However, Zhong Er chose the strategy of focusing on offense and supplementing defense...

What a headache!
"Your Highness, regardless of the intervention of the new army, there are good and bad in the Western Army. The soldiers of Huanqing and Linfu are stronger than the soldiers of Huichuan."

"Huichuan is barren, not as rich as Qinzhou, and even worse than Huanqing. Although the Western Thieves Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Division are powerful, they are more set up against Tubo."

"Huichuan is the starting point for the country's products to be transported by land. The soldiers are not strong, but the merchants are quite strong..."

Originally, it was about military strategy, but in the end, the words were too much to talk about, and there were even such words that made things worse.

"Is the Silk Road still open today?"

Zhao Xi didn't pay attention to those nonsense words, but suddenly asked a question about the merchant's toughness.

Zhao Xi knew that Qinzhou where he lived was Tianshui for future generations.Further to the northwest, that is, to the west of Huichuan, is Lanzhou, and then all the way to the west, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Yumen... This is the so-called Silk Road in later generations.

"Silk Road?"

Zhao Xi also realized at this time that the name didn't seem to exist at this time... plagiarized again.

Zhao Xi really didn't want to do this kind of plagiarism anymore, he didn't want to die.

Every time he plagiarized, he felt guilty and ashamed.

When I was young, I had to do some amazing things in order to deal with the planning of the two generations of the Runan royal family's spare tires.

But now, there is no need for him to play these meaningless tricks on such side issues.

"According to historical records, at the beginning of the barter between China and Xifan, silk was the main commodity. So, I just said it casually..."

As for the historical materials, who knows.Zhao Xi had to invent it in order to get that noun back.

Fortunately, the great fame gained in the early years still has some effect.After all, it is from the Royal Collection, maybe there is such a saying...

No one actually went.

"Your Highness, now that the sea transportation is developed in the country, there is no need for the Silk Road. This business road is just a few sporadic merchants from Tibet passing by."

"In the previous dynasty, it cost people money and money to maintain it. In the later period, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and it was divided by various forces. Today's Silk Road has lost the prosperity of its early years, and it has completely become a wilderness and a useless place."

This should be the general understanding of the country, right?Wilderness, uselessness, barbarians... Zhao Xi does not deny the current strength of the country, except for military equipment, it seems that any other aspect can be overlooked.

The problem is, nobody realizes the unspoken claim to influence.

Far away, there are some things that cannot be changed in a day or two, and Zhao Xi doesn't have the heart to tell people what is there and what is not, and when the matter reaches that point, everyone will understand.

Let's go back to the current battle.

Ever since he got the endorsement of His Royal Highness's article, Zhong Er has completely let go.

The Suide army went from west to east, and the Jinning army went from east to west. The new army attacked strongholds, and the western army set up an ambush. Using this simplest tactic, they advanced step by step and took down Xiangyou Army Division and the left wing Shenyong Army Division one by one. Camp stronghold.

In such a large-scale chaotic battle with many soldiers, it is impossible to achieve complete annihilation like the first shot.Therefore, there are not a few Xixia warriors who escaped...

For many years, Xixia has never encountered such a violent beating from Song Guo since Xixia sentenced the Great Song to Liguo.

When wars started in previous years, the main battlefield was in Qinzhou, so whether it was Huanqing or Linfu, they were just on guard, and there were at most small conflicts.

Both sides will exercise restraint.The Xixia side was due to mobilizing troops, while the Song side...was waiting for the success or failure of the main battlefield.

Once you win, it’s okay to say, if you lose, even if the instigating part has laid down many camps, it will eventually have to be returned in the next peace talks because of the defeat of the main force.

There is no need for any offense.

What's more, the imperial court will even require the frontier troops outside the battle area not to disrupt the battle situation.Or, the civil servants leading the battle will strictly require the frontier troops who are not the main force to defend tightly.

"Zizheng, if our Eastern Route Army continues to fight like this, will it affect the direction of the main force in the final decisive battle? It will even disrupt the entire theater?"

You see, even Zhe Jizu has this concern.

However, it seems that there is no concern that the Eastern Route Army will be restrained by the Xixia people, or that they will not be able to complete the final battle if they go deep into dangerous places.

Now they can see that the equipment of the new army, especially the gunpowder, is simply the nemesis of the cavalry... At least in this battle, the Xixia people have no room to fight back.

"The direction of the main battle? Brother Ying, do you still remember the controversy of His Highness the Crown Prince? What is true is false, and false is true..."

"Our frenzied advance may make the West Thieves think that this is to attract the opponent's combat power for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the middle lane, thereby relieving the pressure on the middle lane."

"At the same time, the West Route Army is attacking Gaolan, and it should be taken now. The east and west routes are so fierce, and the Central Route not only stands still, but even loses two frontier strongholds one after another."

"All these situations are telling the West Thieves that His Royal Highness does not understand military affairs, and that the Central Army is the weakest. Only by continuing like this can we truly promote the established strategy of this campaign."

Of course, whether the final decisive battle between the two sides in the middle lane can be brought about depends entirely on how the Xixia people view the already hot East and West lanes.

There is another factor that makes people uncertain... Too many defeated Xixia warriors returned to Xingqing Mansion with fear of firearms.
