King of Song

Chapter 641 underestimate the enemy
When Zhao Zhao's secret order reached Suizhou, it was still a bit late after all, Wang Zhongzheng had already set off!
While Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er were helpless, they breathed a sigh of relief.With His Royal Highness King Qin's words, they will have the confidence to do things, and they don't have to be timid.But they also knew that unless it was absolutely necessary, they should not quarrel with Wang Zhongzheng.The king of Qin is considerate of them, and they can't cause trouble for the king of Qin.

Wang Zhongzheng is too hateful and arrogant, thinking that he is great, but in reality?Take Xiazhou and Yanzhou in a month?What are you kidding?
Now that he is not ashamed to say it, he will not be able to complete it in the future, so naturally he looks good!Endure the anger for a while, there will be a time to save face in the future.

Of course, Zhe Kexing also reported the news to Qin Wang Zhao Zhao immediately.He has already learned that his younger sister Zhewenxin is pregnant with a second child. If a boy is born, it will be of great significance to the Zhe family.Therefore, the Zhe family in Fuzhou must be wholehearted and loyal to King Qin.

Zhong Er also knew very well, Qin Wang was very kind to their Zhong family, and praised them very much.Although he is only the deputy general of the East Route Army, his nephew Zhong Shidao is the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

For a military family like theirs, what they care about most is inheritance. They are happiest that their nephew is so outstanding and is so highly valued.

It was also because, in the face of Wang Zhongzheng's arrogance and rudeness, he was able to exercise great restraint and endure again and again.

The news of Suizhou was quickly sent to Liupanshan. The situation was as expected, and the generals' disharmony was inevitable.I just didn't expect Wang Zhongzheng's performance to be too unexpected. I thought that the person Zhao Xu would send to intervene would have a few tricks, but I didn't expect it to be such an ignorant idiot.

Is Zhao Xu no one available?But deliberately sending such an idiot to make trouble?Regarding Zhao Xu's vision and approach, Zhao Zhao was already powerless to complain.

Conquer Xixia's two important military towns in the east within a month?What are you kidding?
If only he could keep a low profile and cooperate well in the battle, it would be fine, but now he is dictating the battle, he is simply asking for his own death.

Zhao Zhao sneered, "If you can't attack Xiazhou in a month, then I'll be the one to say it. Don't blame me for being rude."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Rengui also had the same worry. It would be too childish to capture two big cities in one month.If you lose the battle, you will lose face, and maybe it will affect the tasks assigned by the officials, so it will be troublesome.Ever since, he also persuaded him tactfully in private, hoping that the prince would be cautious.

Wang Zhongzheng felt no pressure at all, he didn't feel that he was boastful, but full of confidence.Xixia's current morality is not as good as before. They were defeated one after another on the battlefield, and they fled in anticipation. Many Xixia soldiers openly and directly surrendered.Obviously, his strength was not good enough, and he was afraid of Song Jun Bingfeng.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to preemptively make meritorious deeds.I am representing the official family, and the credit of the East Route Army must not be taken away by Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er.Only a beautiful big victory can win face for the officials, and only in this way can the King Qin's momentum be suppressed.

This was specially assigned by the officials, and it was also the most important task of this trip. Wang Zhongzheng kept it in mind and carried it out to the letter.He was just a little anxious, and he ignored one point. To achieve such an effect, the premise is that the war must be won.

On the way in such a hurry, Wang Zhongzheng first launched an attack on Shizhou on the outskirts of Xiazhou.His original plan was to destroy the city within five days, but an unexpected surprise happened.

The guard of Xixia only resisted for a while before fleeing.In a hurry, he left without even having time to discard and destroy related file documents.

There is such a thing?Wang Zhongzheng was overjoyed immediately, the escape of the Xixia people gave him full confidence.Look, as I said, the Song Dynasty is mighty, and the heavenly soldiers are together, and the enemy will collapse without fighting. It's really not bad, right?

The most important thing is, in this way, there are real military exploits, who else would dare to say that he is not ashamed?The battle of Shizhou is the best proof, directly slapping Kexing and smug in the face.It can be regarded as earning face for the officials, and Wang Zhongzheng was complacent for a while.

There is still an even bigger surprise waiting for him. The soldiers of the Song Army actually found a letter in the documents left by the Shizhou guard.A letter written by Suo Jiusi, the general of Xiazhou, probably meant that Xiazhou was short of troops and food and grass. Once the Song army arrived, it would definitely not be able to hold on.

Suo Jiusi asked General Shizhou if he would join forces to defend Xiazhou, or would they all abandon the city and flee?Wang Zhongzheng was overjoyed after reading the letter, so it turned out to be like this?
Xiazhou is short of troops, insufficient food and grass?The guard's confidence is so unstable?This is a godsend opportunity!

As long as Xiazhou is won, what else can Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er say?Presumably they would die of shame.Even His Royal Highness King Qin in Chang'an would be restless, and the officials would be very happy.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongzheng felt it was funny, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and sent troops to Xiazhou immediately.

Not to mention, as usual, Xiazhou City resisted for only two or three days, and the guard Suo Jiusi abandoned the city and fled.Xiazhou was the capital of the five prefectures in Dingnan in the past, and this is where the title of Xixia Kingdom came from. It is a veritable place of Longxing.Just like the status of Yingtianfu (Songzhou, where Zhao Kuangyin was the Jiedushi before he ascended the throne) in the Song Dynasty.

This is a major staged victory, and it is also the greatest military achievement since the dispatch of troops this time, which is enough to write a special book.Even in the history of the future, it will be written that in a certain year and a certain month, Wang Zhongzheng conquered Xiazhou.This is definitely the supreme honor and favor. For a moment Wang Zhongzheng got carried away with complacency.

Immediately send someone to announce the good news to Zhao Xu, the official in Bianjing, so that the emperor will know how hard he is and how well he performs the task.Then he sent someone to order Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er, on the one hand, to humiliate them and show off on purpose.At the same time, it is also necessary for the two to speed up and lead troops to support.

Wang Zhongzheng has already selected his next attack target - Yanzhou!
Liu Rengui: "My lord, we'd better wait for a while and wait for Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er to arrive before we set off."

"Soldiers are expensive and fast? When will they come?" Wang Zhongzheng asked eccentrically: "The morale of the army is like a rainbow right now. Go down to the city!"

Wang Zhong was just getting carried away with complacency, the victories of Shizhou and Xiazhou had already made him ecstatic, thinking that he was possessed by the god of war, invincible and invincible.

Yanzhou will definitely be like Shizhou and Xiazhou. As long as the army arrives, they will flee in anticipation and collapse without a fight.The reason why he wanted to set off in a hurry was actually because he was afraid that after Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er arrived, his military exploits would be divided.

"But our army doesn't carry much food and grass. As the saying goes, the three armies go first before moving food and grass, so let's wait for a while!" Although Liu Rengui is a flatterer, he is a general after all, and he feels uneasy about such a quick move. He said: "What's more, the weather in the northwest is gradually getting colder, and the winter clothes have not yet arrived..."

"Food and grass? Didn't the Xixia people leave us ten thousand stones of grain and grass?" This is what Wang Zhongzheng is quite proud of. Suo Jiusi fled in a hurry, and he couldn't even burn the grain and grass in the future.It happened to provide myself with military rations. Although it was not enough, it was enough to last for a while.

Shizhou and Xiazhou are so vulnerable, how long can Xiazhou last?Besides, wouldn't Zhekexing and Zhonger arrive later?As for the cotton coats, there is no need for them anymore. Could it be possible that we can still carry on until the cold winter season?Are you kidding me, how can it take so long for the prince to go out?
Without further ado, Wang Zhongzheng ordered troops to be dispatched immediately.Even though Liu Rengui felt it was wrong, he couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow the prince and his father to kill Yanzhou in a hurry.

When the news reached Yinzhou, Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er looked at each other in blank dismay.Wang Zhongzheng actually captured Shizhou and Xiazhou?What are you kidding?But the fact is that, because Shizhou and Xiazhou fell one after another, Yinzhou became an isolated city, isolated and helpless, so they also voluntarily surrendered.

Zhong Er wondered: "How is it possible? Shizhou's city is not big, so it's not surprising that it can be conquered easily. It's just that Xiazhou has a high city, and Xixia people have always valued it. How could he break the city so easily?"

Zhe Kexing said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, don't you find it strange?"

"Yeah, it went so smoothly, Xiazhou only resisted for three days?" Chong Er said, "I know Suo Jiusi a little bit, he is brave and resourceful, he is not someone who gives up lightly? Why did he do it? What about deserters?"

Zhe Kexing pondered and said: "Brother Zhong, this is very abnormal, could this be a..."

"The Xixia people may not have fled because of the wind, maybe they evacuated on their own initiative." Chong Er pondered for a moment, then worried: "It is very likely that it is a trap to lure the enemy into deep!"

After careful deliberation, the two felt more and more that it might be a trap, and they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!
If it's a trap, what does it mean?The Xixia people must have already opened their pockets in Yanzhou, waiting for Song Jun to sneak in!Wang Zhong is just an idiot who doesn't know how to fight, frivolous and arrogant. After two victories, he must no longer know what his last name is, so why would he hesitate?

In fact, he had already done so, and ordered the two of them to follow!

Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er looked at each other, and what they saw in each other's eyes was worry.There is no doubt that Wang Zhongzheng's underestimation of the enemy will ruin himself and those [-] soldiers.Not only did they underestimate the enemy, they also didn't keep up with food and grass, and they didn't bring winter clothes.They discovered that Wang Zhongzheng had only brought [-] civilians with him. How could he guarantee the supply of tens of thousands of troops for such a long journey and the road was not easy to travel?

There is no doubt that Wang Zhongzheng is going to die.

Zhe Kexing and Zhong Er quickly reported the situation to His Royal Highness Qin Wang. As for Bianjing, Wang Zhongzheng must have a memorial to report the victory.Let the officials be happy first, I am afraid that it will not be long before extreme joy turns sorrow.

After the report, they calmed down, and both of them thought of a question at the same time - what should we do?
　Happy Dragon Boat Festival!Today is a holiday, delayed time, only one update, forgive me!Tomorrow three more make up!
