Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 972 The Expected Strategy

When Wang Xiu returned to the station, Zong Liang was leisurely by himself, holding a manuscript of the former Tang Yan History in the hall, reading it with relish.

This kind of manuscript is forbidden by the imperial court, especially officials are not allowed to read it, but some illegal booksellers still print it privately, and it is widely circulated among the people. Not to mention that Zongliang read it privately, even some officials are also happy to read it secretly. Buy it and watch it.

"Brother, I'm so excited!" Seeing Zong Liang's concentration, Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing, but she didn't blame it, the prohibition is the prohibition, there is no need to be serious about such trivial things, food and sex!

Old Zong Liang blushed, looking at these unofficial histories, they could never be included in the elegant hall, and they were seen by Wang Xiu, what a shame!He hurriedly stuffed the book into his sleeve pocket, rubbed his hands together and said in embarrassment, "I glanced occasionally."

"It's okay, these words are exquisite, so it's okay to read them in your spare time." Wang Xiu didn't care. It's human nature to seek novelty, not to mention that these unique novels are well written, and reading them in your spare time can be regarded as a pastime.

Zong Liang couldn't hold back his old face, so he could only chuckle twice.

At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the door, saying: "Walk on the gold plate."

An official came in with a red and black lacquer box, Zong Liang hurriedly got up to take it, glanced at it and said: "The characters written in front of the imperial court are not allowed to enter the shop."

Wang Xiu nodded and motioned Zong Liang to open it to look at it. After receiving the post on Huangguantang, he saw that it said the Privy Council's Speedy Department, Emperor Song's Guards Navy Northeast Rumors, and the Dushitang and the Privy Council's review, and his face gradually became solemn.

After reading the content inside, his expression was not too turbulent. After giving Guantang to Zong Liang, he fell into deep thought.

Zong Liang frowned slightly after seeing it, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "Mr.."

"Well, I'll go back tomorrow." After Wang Xiu finished speaking, she turned and went out.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry." Zong Liang pursed his lips and said to himself naturally.

In fact, Wang Xiu really wanted to stay and guide the war, because all the things that should be done have been done, and there is nothing to do by staying. It can only distract the generals in front.

After Wang Xiu left, Qu Duan stretched out his hands and feet and changed his strategy with strong means. The east front line used the Dianqian Division as a barrier to untie the potential and command the two major battalions to mop up, constantly oppressing the living space of the Xia Army, and the township army gradually Consolidate the occupied area.

On the middle road, there were strong soldiers and horses. Xin Bing and He Wei supervised the issuance of township troops from all walks of life, and they continued to gather in the border areas. The seventh battalion launched an offensive against Weizhou.

Gu Lihei was terrified by that menacing appearance. His soldiers and horses needed to defend the pass, and many of them were transferred away. If he could gather more than [-] people, they were all horse troops, not enough to defend the city.

Facing the elites of the two armies of the Song Army, the Ma Army could not fight defensive warfare and conduct mobile warfare, and there was no room for detours. The Eighth Battalion took the Seventh Battalion to the rear and protected them to death. This battle is really impossible to fight.

The battle in Weizhou was quite brutal. The Song army had plenty of time, and they didn't attack the city at all. Xia Jun was miserable.

Weizhou is considered a frontier military state. Compared with the state government of the Song Dynasty, Weizhou's city area is at the level of a third-class county. Morale was at an all-time low.

Shao Xing was not idle either. He ransacked Liangzhou. When the township army gathered [-] troops, it was enough. With Guzang as the center, he harassed Ganzhou to the west and organized a troop Going northeast with all their strength, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division did not dare to attack Xihe Road, so they could only divide their troops to intercept them northward.

With the dissatisfaction and enrichment of the war horses, the horse army of the Ninth Battalion became stronger and stronger, and the horse army of the Song Army became a big local tyrant for the first time.

Ren Dejing was quickly summoned into the palace to discuss. There were ministers such as Brother Cha and Gan Daochong. In view of the Jurchens' interference in the north and south of Henan, they got the promise of the Jurchens and began to have new hopes.

Since Yuan Hao founded the country, Dang Xiang has never placed his fate on others. He has always used the contradictions between the North and the South, taking advantage of both sides and seeking to survive in the cracks.

They didn't trust the Jurchen's help at all. It was like seeking skin from a tiger and leaving their northern land to the fierce Jurchen. They were not so stupid.

However, Ren Dejing suggested that at present, Hengshan has all fallen into the hands of people, the left wing is a mess, the right wing is not strong, and being successfully attacked by Shao Xing is just too busy to take care of himself.If the Song Army achieved another major victory, Xiao Heda would inevitably rebel. At that time, the Song Army's soldiers were approaching the city, and what use would the Northland be to Xia?

He judged that the Jurchens had no good intentions. They wanted to contain the prairie wolves and let Song and Xia fight together, so that they could reap all the benefits of the fisherman.

Li Renxiao also saw the entanglement. What Ren Dejing said was right, the main force in the left wing was wiped out, so why do you need the Northern Army Division!Diplomatic relations are nothing less than this, nothing more than mutual use to seek the greatest political benefits.

Since the Jurchens want him to fight the Great Song Xingchao, and the Great Song Xingchao also has the intention of annexing the party, this battle must be desperate.That matter would be easy to handle. With the help of the Jurchen to deter the grassland tribes, he decisively dispatched [-] soldiers to the south, leaving only [-] soldiers from the tribe in the Division of the Three Armies.

When it comes to dealing with the grassland ministries, a [-]-strong army is almost equivalent to being undefended. It is equivalent to giving half of the border defense rights in the North to the Jurchens. This is very dangerous. It is just to save the defeated situation. .

This troop headed south quickly and went directly to the Yanzhou area, cooperating with one of the garrison troops, and then joined the garrisons of various ministries to launch a counterattack against the Song army.

If the strategy is used properly, they will break through the defense line of the Dianqian Division's northwest camp and directly attack the Song Army in the southern part of Xiazhou. One battle will determine the overall situation.

This time, it was expected by both parties. The key is to test the endurance and command skills of both parties. Whoever can persevere will be the winner.

Just when Li Renxiao made his decision, the news came that Gu Lihei had abandoned Weizhou. He was taken aback and was about to order Gu Lihei to counterattack.

Brother Cha keenly judged that the Song army was about to launch an offensive in the vast sea, and they urgently discussed countermeasures.It is believed that the Song army wants to attack from the soft belly, avoid the eastern part where the battle is fierce, and launch an offensive directly on Xiping Mansion, which can be used just right.

The Xiangqing Army was set up in Xiping Mansion. Not to mention the strong military city, even the peripheral Dingbian Town, Nanping Prefecture, and Dongguan Town are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The absolute defensive castle group, two or three Song Army armies basically failed to achieve their goals.

They unanimously decided to retry Li Yuanhao's tactics against Song in the past, lure the enemy deep, and then use the horse army to attack the Song army's transportation line, fighting a decisive battle of annihilation.
