King of Song

Chapter 640
From Hedong to Linzhou, and then to Suizhou, Wang Zhongzheng only took half a month for such a long journey.

In addition to the imperial edict from Zhongshu Province, there was also the official secret edict brought by the Secretary of the Imperial City, which made him rush to the northwest.Where did Wang Zhongzheng dare to neglect, he hurriedly called Liu Rengui, took 2 horses and crossed the river to the northwest.

In a hurry, it was too late to enlist enough civilian workers.In the rugged Northwest, to ensure the food and grass of the [-] army, plus some unknown circumstances, it is reasonable to mobilize at least [-] civilians.

However, in an emergency, Wang Zhongzheng only mobilized no more than 4 civilians and set off in a hurry. He was more confident in himself and believed that [-] people should be enough to deal with the situation in the Northwest.

Wang Zhongzheng went ashore soon, although Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er were loyal to Zhao Zhao.But before the king of Qin and the officials broke their faces, they were all courtiers of the Song Dynasty. How could they disobey the emperor's imperial edict?Before King Qin had any other orders, they had no choice but to greet each other with smiles.

They are also court generals, even if Wang Zhong is an eunuch, they respect him very much.But Wang Zhongzheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He thought that he was a man hand-picked by the emperor, and he was naturally superior in controlling the East Route Army.Therefore, in front of Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er, they were very high-profile and unfriendly.

Although Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er were full of resentment, they couldn't say anything because of Wang Zhongzheng's status.They had no choice but to swallow their anger and maintain a relationship that wasn't too harmonious.

Wang Zhongzheng murmured to Liu Rengui behind his back: "Look, it's not bad at all. The generals in the northwest only know the King of Qin and don't know the official family. It's really treasonous!"

"Yes, why don't you report to the officials to punish them?" Liu Rengui was obsequious and was good at flattery.He knew that Wang Zhongzheng was a trusted confidant of the official family, such a person would not dare to offend, on the contrary, he should try to curry favor with him.

"That can't be done. Now that we are fighting and employing people, how can we easily move them? What's more, although they have different intentions, they have not acted wrongly." Wang Zhongzheng said in a treacherous voice, yin and yang: "What we have to do now is Watch carefully and gather evidence of their plot."

"Yes, my subordinates will pay attention." The military generals in the Song Dynasty had no status, and it was true that they could not hold their heads up in front of civil servants, but in front of eunuchs, it was rare for them to be so humble.I have to say that Liu Rengui is really a shameless wonder!

Wang Zhongzheng said: "Although they can't be punished at present, it is still necessary to beat them."

"Yes, we have to give them a big blow, lest they think that they won't know what their surname is after they won two battles." Liu Rengui immediately echoed.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhongzheng summoned his generals and announced that he would speed up and conquer Yanzhou before October and a half.The weather is already in mid-September. In a month's time, conquer Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Shizhou and other outlying cities, and then attack Yanzhou, an important military town in eastern Xixia?

is it possible?
Everyone couldn't help but doubt in their hearts, and felt that the new Wang Zhongguan was a little anxious.So ambitious and unrealistic!

Zhe Kexing, as the former general of the East Route Army, persuaded: "My lord, Yinzhou and Xiazhou are both important towns in Xixia, so we should not act too hastily. It is better to proceed step by step and fight steadily."

"Soldiers are expensive!" Wang Zhongzheng said displeased: "It is already late autumn, and the cold winter in the Northwest will come soon. It will not be good for our army to fight at that time. Is it possible that we will return without success?
Besides, the Xixia people are now taking the initiative to back down. A few days ago, didn't there still be a few military camps that fled and surrendered voluntarily?It seems that the Xixia people were scared out of their wits, and our army's momentum is like a rainbow, it is a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. "

"It's right to chase after the victory, it's only a month, it's too hasty!" Zhong Er's morality is highly respected, and his words still have some weight.

But Wang Zhongzheng didn't take it seriously at all, and asked instead: "How do you know if you haven't tried it? Does General Zhong have no confidence in himself? Or is he afraid of the Xixia people?"

"Chong is fearless!" Zhong Er was furious immediately, but due to Wang Zhongzheng's identity, he held back and did not explode on the spot.

"Since you have nothing to fear, let's go to the Xixia people bravely!" Wang Zhongzheng said in a strange way: "How about this, General Zhong has attacked Yinzhou for many days, and then continue to attack the city. General Zhe is responsible for sweeping out the Xixia troops on the periphery This general will directly lead the army to attack Shizhou and Xiazhou.

The general hoped that on the day of conquering Xiazhou, General Zhong would be able to take Yinzhou?Otherwise, Qingjian City's family army will be in vain! "

The words were not malicious, Zhong Er suddenly became furious, and said angrily: "Okay, Chong looks forward to the prince conquering Xiazhou as soon as possible."

Wang Zhongzheng had an expression that he didn't care what you could do to me.

Zhe Kexing felt that Wang Zhongzheng was a bit arrogant.Even if you besiege Yinzhou and block the reinforcements here, can you conquer Xiazhou quickly? 0
I don't even think about it, but Xiazhou was the capital of the five states in Dingnan in the past. It was the land of Longxing in Xixia. The city was tall and heavily guarded. How could it be easily conquered?

One month, okay!If the time comes, if you can't take down the city, you will see me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although Xixia's information transmission is not as fast as that of the Song army, it can still play some role.

The disagreement between the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the king of Qin was naturally known. Recently, Liang Yibu learned that the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent Wang Zhongzheng to help in the battle.Wang Zhong was stationed on Huanqing Road before, so he knew something about it.

Can discordant factions work together and fight together?Liang Yibu couldn't help sneering.He soon realized that this was a good opportunity, and if he could take advantage of it, it might be a breakthrough in the war on the Eastern Front.

Although the wall has been strengthened and the country has been cleared, it is even the worst plan to lose all the land south of the Yellow River.But Liang Yibu was also worried, what if Song Jun couldn't be dragged to death?Liang He has been sent from Xiaoguan to attack Guanzhong, but the effect is unknown. (Liang He was ambushed, but Liang Yi is still unknown.)
Although this is all a strategic plan, the land is only temporarily abandoned.As long as the Song army has insufficient food and grass, it will inevitably retreat, and Xixia can take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.Taking back the country can even push the border a certain distance forward.

However, the Xingqing Mansion was really unstable. The party nobles were very dissatisfied with his retreat, thinking that he had lost the country, and criticized and accused him very seriously.Empress Dowager Liang suppressed hard, and she was almost out of control.

No way, there is strong public opinion pressure behind it.Liang Yibu had to consider launching a counterattack on a certain scale to boost morale, and at the same time give the party nobles an explanation to stabilize the domestic situation.

Weizhou is fighting fiercely, and Liu Changzuo's [-] army is just below the city.It is not bad to be able to defend the city, and it is basically impossible to counterattack.

On the Eastern Front, although there are famous generals such as Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er.But with the addition of Wang Zhongzheng, everything has become chaotic, and there is a great chance of winning in the chaos.

Especially when he heard that Wang Zhongzheng intends to capture Xiazhou and Yanzhou within a month, Liang Yibu immediately felt that the opportunity had come!
