Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 969 Wang Xiu's Watching the Wind

"Everyone, if there is anything else to add, let's talk it out and solve it together."

Don't ask if you can ask objections, it is obviously to decide the use of strategies and tactics, it is very domineering, and does not give others a chance to object.

However, there are all generals present, deeply imbued with the truth of the dangerous tactics of the soldiers, even Gao Ping thinks it is feasible, because the one who attacks Yanzhou as the main breakthrough will be his army in front of the palace, this guy promises great military exploits, fool will go against it.

"The expropriation of people's resources in Shaanxi is indeed excessive. I will report to the court that the land tax will be exempted for three years, and the monthly payment and pension will be increased."

Only Wang Xiu dared to say such a thing. If he was present silently, he would probably be impatient with him again. Exempting the land tax for three years and increasing the monthly payment and pension, how much would the court suffer?I didn't see the court spending money like running water.

However, he did not aim at nothing, but carefully calculated that as long as the North could not fight, the Northern Guards would be able to save a lot of military expenses.

You must know that the cost of stationing and fighting is different for more than [-] troops. The cost of fighting is several times that of stationing. His strategy reassures the Jurchens and party members.

Qu Duan, Gao Ping and others were very surprised. Wang Xiu said that if the land tax is exempted, it will be exempted. Aside from the monstrous power, they will not be able to learn this kind of momentum, and they don't have that power. People are more popular than others.

"That's it. The westward battle plan will be formulated by the Northern Guards as soon as possible. The offensive will be launched within a month. Oh, the offensive of the fifth and sixth battalions will remain unchanged, and the northwest battalion must be prepared for a tough battle. As for food and grass In the battle of Jia, there were envoys from all walks of life in charge of planning and planning, and Wang Zishang and He Zhiye were in charge." Wang Xiu was categorical and categorical, and did not give others the slightest chance to refute.

No one raised the meaning, Wang Xiu made a decision, and obviously did not intend to interfere in the following matters, and everyone was relieved.

Everyone is thinking about what kind of position they can occupy, gain more benefits, and finally reach the pinnacle of military officer.

A meeting with strategic significance ended in a happy atmosphere. Even Qu Duan and Gao Ping were more active. Wang Xiu was relieved. These two guys were the key, and it seemed that they had aroused their desire.

He is not afraid that they are thorns, but that they are incompetent. Only by making them want more and more, can he lure them to profit and let them work hard. Obviously he succeeded.

What is meant by a battle to determine the world, the key lies in the fact that the army goes north to cover the horse army's surprise attack on Yanzhou, destroying the grain and grass village in Yanzhou, and the left side of the Xia army will be vulnerable.

The Song army is mobilizing, and the Xia army is mobilizing more frequently. Everything is going according to their respective intentions. What is owed is a face-to-face bloody battle, perhaps a long-awaited massacre is more appropriate.

Sure enough, as Wang Xiu expected, the Jin Army launched an operation in the Tianxiong Army, held a high-profile military parade, deterred the grassland tribes, and led thousands of horses westward with Haili and Ulie to wipe out several disobedient small tribes. The fierce troops implemented the genocide tactics, which made the Qiyan, Tatar and other tribes restrained a lot, and the tribes also moved to the northwest.

Li Renxiao is not a fool, and there are wise people in the party. Gan Daochong first suggested that the three major military supervisors in the north should go south.

Although, I also understand in my heart that the Jurchen fisherman is profiting, but there is no good way. Everything is to save the defeat. First, defeat the Song army's offensive. accepted.

Both sides bet all the bets. If anyone loses, the winner will be slaughtered. This is the rule of the game, which is very cruel and realistic, and no carelessness is allowed.

The Song army's attack on Weizhou appeared to be short and swift. The combat effectiveness of the two armies was not for fun, and the faces with black bones were completely black.

Wang Xiu did not stay on the front line during the Northwest Zhanyun communication. He knew his existence. Not only could he not support the general, but it would increase his psychological burden. As a matter of principle, since the war guidance is set, everything depends on the performance of the generals.

However, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, he arrived at Hongzhou City to reward the army since he came here and didn't make a round of inspections. He stayed for two days by the way, accompanied by Feng Yuan.

Hongzhou is the border state of Xia. In fact, the country of Xia is not that big. The eastern part is relatively prosperous. Almost all of them border on Shaanxi Road in Song Dynasty. The trade of each border state is quite developed.

In his spare time the next day, he didn't bring any guards, but Feng Yuan accompanied him in casual clothes.In fact, there is no need to worry too much about safety. Hongzhou has become the Song Army's transportation base, and a large number of soldiers and horses are stationed. Even the remnants of the Xia Army have turned into obedient civilians. They can eat and live a stable life. Who wants to risk their lives? fight.

The Song army adopted a gentle policy, and the residents did not suffer much loss, so everyone got up in fear to make a living. After all, people have to support their families.

Some poor people were happy. The Song army hired a large number of local people for the shipment of grain, grass and supplies. The money they hired was not to blackmail their labor. At least people had a stable income, and the market also recovered a little bit of vitality.

The northwest wind is cold, but it has a special taste. It is not a good time to go out. Wang Xiu is not very interested in shopping. Just to understand the people's sentiments, he stops and stops, tastes snacks, and said slowly: "Fourth brother, in order to be able to travel in the northwest." Miewei famous family, I gave the captives 50 yuan to reward the army, and I also promised that Liyang will not set up a stronghold in the north, and sea ships will not enter the North Sea. The Northwest camp suffered the first wave of blows, and the matter is very important. You must take responsibility and decide There must be no carelessness."

Feng Yuan was calm in his heart, he knew that Wang Xiu trained him in all aspects, no need to be surprised no matter how heavy the burden was, he said lightly: "Don't worry, sir, I will care about myself."

Wang Xiu smiled leisurely, but before she spoke, she saw that there was a Fragrant Bath Hall in front of her, and she couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect that there is a Fragrant Bath Hall in the outskirts, let's go and wash off."

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not right." Feng Yuan was afraid that people would distract him, in case something went wrong.

Wang Xiu shook her head, and said in a deep voice: "It's just to experience the people's sentiments. If there is no major event, I don't even want to do this. What else is there to talk about?"

"Oh, those are all peasants from the countryside." Feng Yuan hurriedly explained, he was very reluctant to show Wang Xiu in public, and it was still in a small environment full of people.

"Nonsense, what are you country folks? The distinction between high and low is true. Back then, who knew the ups and downs of life. Today's poor and poor will not be able to be rich tomorrow. Princes have no race, and emperors have no surname. Fourth brother, when we were in Shangshui, we were also poor and humble. Min, why do you have other thoughts?" Wang Xiu said seriously.

Feng Yuan has a humble face and feels very ashamed in his heart. The life of the upper class these years has indeed made him a bit rich and humble. Wang Xiu's warning made him vigilant.
