I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 170 Should pay tribute (three more)
Playing Langsong was presided over by Di Qing. Zhao Xi handed over the command, or Zhao Xi didn't get involved.

Casualties in siege warfare are certain, and it will never be like guerrilla warfare, or harassment warfare is more appropriate.

Zhao Xi's actions throughout Annan were told by the soldiers, and even the civil officials were amazed.

It's a bit like the Wanyinshan exercise I heard, but it's different.

Everyone thought about it, if Wanyinshan's Jingxi Road Forbidden Army was the enemy, would they also collapse like the Annan Army in the end?

The answer is uncertain, but this time the battle is full of rewards.

"Your Highness, do you want to occupy Long Song and Gao Bang?"

Expansion of territory, even in the Song Dynasty, which did not practice martial arts, is a great achievement for thousands of years.

Therefore, when Master Wang took down Gao Bang and Lang Song, it was inevitable that he would have this thought.

"I can't occupy it. Guangnan has already been regarded as a place of smog by the court, let alone Annan? Whether it is Guangyuan Prefecture or Yongping Village, why has the court valued it?"

"Guangyuan Prefecture, Yongping Village is a mountain range, and Pingchuan is to the south. If it is occupied, it will be an enclave, and there will be constant battles."

It's not that I haven't thought about permanent occupation, but it's a bit difficult to think about the current military equipment of the country.

Do not occupy?Why is His Highness making such a fuss?It is entirely possible that after the suppression of Nong Zhigao...forgot, His Royal Highness wanted to greet Annan.

The soldiers fought the siege in the front, and the civil servants talked nonsense in the rear.I hope this is just a special case. After all, regarding the current situation in northern Annan, Lang Song is safe.

With an army of [-], it is not too difficult for a coach like Di Qing to besiege a broken city guarded by thousands of guards in fear.

It's really not difficult.The so-called ten siege and five attacks are not applicable to the current Wang Shi and the Annan Army.

A day and a half, and this has to count the siege deployment of the army after arriving here.Before the attack, Annan's army abandoned the city.

The tiger crouching artillery blasted open the city gate, and the gunpowder bombs were fired into the city wall by the trebuchet. Annan's army had nowhere to hide, especially on the city wall, where they could not escape the attack of gunpowder bombs.

When the city was broken, the army moved in.

Zhao Xi had explained in advance that no one was allowed to kill the prisoners, no matter if it was Master Wang or Nong people.Even after the camp in Guangyuan was breached, Zhao Xi asked the wounded to be raised... Anyway, Annan left a lot of food and grass in Gaobang, so he took it as a childcare for others, and took care of it for a while.

This account can be settled later.

No, soon, the checkout will come.

After Master Wang entered Langsong, he repaired the facilities for defending the city...not for Annan, but simply for the need of defending the city.

Then Annan's reinforcements arrived.

Must be fifty thousand?Zhao Xi couldn't count.There are more than ten thousand people and no boundaries.Standing on the city wall, you can see the boundless Annan army in the distance, about three to five miles away.

At this time, Lang Song's master Wang was less than [-], including the Nong people.

After all, both Gaobang and Guangyuan need to keep some soldiers to guard them.What's more, Zhao Xi also demanded that the road leading to Yongping Village be under martial law... He didn't want to be alone.

These are not the days of guerrilla warfare, and now almost the entire Yamen of the appeasement envoy has moved here.

The military supplies are sufficient here, except for the necessary officials, who are in charge in Guangnan, such as Su Yan.The other yamen established due to the Guangnan War are all in Annan at this time.

Make sure the passage is clear when you retreat.

Even if there are less than 3 horses, it is purely delusional for Annan to break through the king master who is good at defending the city.

Not to mention Di Qing, even Yu Jing and the others looked confident.

As for Zhao Xi, defending the city...is a very passive thing.If Annan came to his previous wave of operations, Master Wang would have no choice but to withdraw to the territory.

The problem is that Annan didn't have a tiger squatting gun, no gunpowder, and he didn't have the unconstrained thinking like him.

Therefore, everyone is very optimistic about defending the city.

Annan also sees it this way.

No, the battle was set up, instead of fighting, a lobbyist was sent directly... Shouldn't it be called an envoy at this time?Isn't there a saying?When the two armies are at war, they will not be beheaded.

He is a civil servant, and his dress is similar to that of the Guo Dynasty, with the style of the previous dynasty.

"From the fourth rank, the previous dynasty from the fourth rank official uniform, the guard of honor is the honor guard of Zhengdan envoys."

Yu Jing looked at a group of people coming from a distance, and pointed out the rank, identity and ceremony.

It was as if he was afraid that Zhao Xi would order a bombardment.Not to mention, Zhao Xi really had that idea when the team came into range.

Guochao is a state of etiquette and cannot do this.Besides, this is exactly what Zhao Xi expected, just waiting for Annan to confess.

There are some things that need to be discussed.

"Li Yichen, Secretary of the Cochin Honglu Temple, has an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shang Kingdom..."

Seeing the man salute and shout again, Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment.

Isn't it Annan?Why is it cochin again?

"His Royal Highness, Annan is the name of the former Imperial Protector's Mansion, and it will continue to be used by the imperial court. The Taizu once named the Li family as the Protector of Annan..."

Seeing Yu Jing explaining to Zhao Xi, Annan's envoy seemed to be a little disdainful... Da Song is no longer the Da Song of the past, just this prince... With his perfect tongue, he should be able to get back Lang Song, Gaobang Second City.

"Why did Li Qing come here?"

Uh... Zhao Xi's words stunned Li Yichen.What happened?You are now in the city of my Li Dynasty, asking me why I came here?

"His Royal Highness, the prince of the lower kingdom, since the founding of the dynasty, has respected the Song Dynasty and never disobeyed it. Even if the Nong people are wise and high, the lower kingdom has repeatedly spoken to the upper kingdom and wants to send troops to help."

"I don't know why, the Shang Kingdom entered our country, attacked me to aid the army of the Shang Kingdom, destroyed our border cities, and slaughtered our people? It really makes me feel chilling."

"Yichen's visit this time is to ask the country for clarification."

Do all literati behave like this?Or are Annan's literati like this?

Zhao Xi would rather believe that this is a stick that knows nothing.

If you can ask questions with confidence, you will be absolutely shameless except for knowing nothing about An Nan and Tuo Nong Zhigao.

"Going to the country?"

Isn't it just pretending to be stupid?Grandpa will too.

"Your Highness, it is indeed a lower state, that is, a vassal state. Annan's succession to the throne needs to be granted by the imperial court."

Yu Jing was quite cooperative, pretending that Zhao Xi didn't understand anything, and explained bit by bit.

I guess they were all holding back their laughter.I don't understand how His Royal Highness wants to play this drama, so I can only follow along like this.

"Since it is a vassal state, should there be annual tribute?"

"It should be paid tribute!"

"Oh... In this way, no matter whether it's Jiaozhi or Annan, the tribute has been paid every year since the founding of Taizu, and it has never stopped?"

"If this is the case, someone is reckless. It is really inappropriate to go to the country with such loyalty and use force."

"Di Shuai, hereby give an order that the entire army withdraw from the Annan territory... the great dynasty should not blame Annan for the riots caused by the Nong people. The so-called grievance has its head and its debtor."

What Zhao Xi said was sincere, and he really felt a little remorseful.

"Your Highness, Annan Governor, has not paid tribute to the court since celebrating the calendar year. And..."

Yu Jing originally wanted to enumerate Annan's misfortune against Guangnan for many years, but Zhao Xi waved his hand.

What do you mean?
