I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 540 Big Difference

It is difficult for chariots to get out of Yanmen Pass, and the track is broken at Xin County. As a new army that relies heavily on armaments, going out to fight is the real test.

It can be seen from this two-way advance from east to west that there is a big difference between the new army with chariots and the new army without chariots in the battle with the cavalry of the Liaoxia coalition army.

Most of the casualties of the soldiers came from the east and the west.

Zhao Xi also explained in the secret decree with Di Qing that once the damage on the east and west routes exceeds [-]%, the battle to regain Yunzhou will be postponed indefinitely...

As for the current battle damage, I hope that the original encirclement and suppression was not a battle of trapped beasts by the Liaoxia coalition forces, and the intensity of the combat power is the real combat power...~Zhao Xi is not sure.

Therefore, he was more worried about the battle of the army going out of customs than the battle of Dingxiang and Xinxian in the previous period...

Another point, Mr. Zhengshitang also took into consideration, that is, the rewards before the army left the customs... I was worried about repeating Taizong's mistakes.

The carriage transporting the military supplies in Workshop City also brought the rewards for the victory of this encirclement and suppression battle.

"Minister Wen, the Privy Council ordered the transfer of new troops from Jiangnan and Chengdu to go north. Chengdu will assist in the defense of Qinzhou and Huanqing, and Jiangnan Road will assist in the defense of Hebei Road..."

Really stretched!Zhao Xi was very helpless, 50 troops were left idle, but he dared not let them go to the front line... He was worried that the veterans of the forbidden army would make the entire defense line fester.

They have no combat power, no courage, let alone the thought of family, country, and world, and they don't even have shame.

Today, [-]% of the forbidden troops are mixed in the entire border guards, which is already the maximum.Zhao Xi didn't dare to take any more risks.

"Your Majesty, the Battle of Yanmen was won, and Liaoxia still has the heart to invade the south?"

Fu Bi was puzzled, and all the ministers were puzzled.

At the beginning, the delay in receiving the envoys and the strong rejection of the envoys was based on the great victory in the encirclement and suppression battle, which could deter Liaoxia from easily sending troops to invade the south.

At the moment, I am victorious in the Song Dynasty, and nearly [-] Liaoxia coalition forces have besieged Xin County, so why do I need to transfer troops again?
"I remember that when we made the strategic deployment, we analyzed the so-called Liaoxia coalition forces...they were the forces that were thrown out, serving the internal rule of Liaoxia. Of course, I don't deny that this part of the team tried to test our Great Song Dynasty. purpose of military force."

"Nowadays, whether it's the so-called killing with a borrowed knife, or testing the strength of the army, it can be regarded as a result, and it can't really hurt and scare the Northern Liao and Xixia."

"If my army stops at Yanmen Pass and keeps on the defensive, I think that Liaoxia will not disturb the border, but now our army is going north, intending to recover Yunzhou, Yingzhou, and Shuozhou. Not to mention Xixia, Northern Liao will certainly not will ignore it.”

"This Liaoxia Alliance, the first initiator must be Xixia. Once our army goes north, it is inevitable that Beiliao will send troops, and Xixia will have to send troops for this alliance..."

This is the result of Zhao Xi and Di Qing's deduction. Once the north leaves Yanmen, Beiliao will definitely send troops...

After Zhao Xi finished speaking, the husbands once again gathered in front of the sand table...

"I'm afraid what your Majesty said is true. The Liao soldiers from Xijing Road entered the pass, and the entire Xijing Road was empty. If the Northern Liao Dynasty wanted to relieve the crisis in Yunzhou, they could only try the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao."

"Your Majesty, the exit of our army should be delayed. The battle to regain Yunzhou can only be launched after the new troops from Jiangnan and Chengdu are in place!"

Han Qi has been in Hebei Province for a long time, and he knows the situation in Hebei Province best. After understanding the possibility that the officials said, he directly changed from the original radical to the conservative.

Once Hebei Road falls, it will definitely not be comparable to Yanmen Pass, it will really be a disaster for the country...

"Your Majesty, before the war, we suggested transferring troops from the south to the north, but His Majesty rejected it. Since Your Majesty has thought about it, how can such a major matter be avoided?"

It is rare for Wen Yanbo to speak so bluntly.

"Kuan Fu, when the Yanmen Pass was lost and soldiers from the south went north, whether it was in the court or in the market, the impact would be very different. If there is any carelessness, it may cause great disturbances in the entire kingdom."

"Now that the soldiers from the south are marching north, for the market and the court, it is a battle to expand the results of the war. But at the beginning, the soldiers from the south were showing their cowardice, and it was a manifestation of their lack of confidence in the Yanmen Pass. The results produced are quite different."

"Besides, the Guochao track connects the states, and the deployment of troops today is no different from the original deployment of troops in terms of effectiveness. There is no urgency or exhaustion. The officials and veterans have communicated about this matter. It is my proposal, Fu Bi, to discuss it in the Political Affairs Hall."

"Everyone, the country has been fighting for decades, and it has only been in the past ten years that there has been a big victory against Xixia. As for the Northern Liao Dynasty, the court, including the princes, must not have any hope of victory."

"If you had sent troops to the north, you should know how chaotic the courtiers and workers would be. The chaos before the war is not conducive to the frontline war."

Zhao Xi did talk about this with Fu Bi at the beginning, but he was not sure whether to discuss the possible situation in the council hall.

He didn't intend to say anything, because he didn't believe in the firmness of the husbands.But it's not advisable to hide everything from the husbands, so I wanted to use Fu Bi as a shield.

It's just that I didn't expect Fu Bi to strongly oppose it at the beginning...~
"War across the border, or back to the worst outcome originally envisaged..."

Wang Anshi's words represented the thoughts of all the ministers in the Zhengshitang.It's not alarmist talk, it's a fact.

It must be very difficult for Guochao to start a war across the board. Even if it is an accident, it may lead to the collapse of the entire front...~
"Your Majesty, please appease Qin Zhou!"

Han Jiang felt that she needed to come forward.Regardless of whether he knows about military affairs or not, his departure from Qinzhou is conducive to controlling the situation of Qinzhou's defense line... the entire defense line against Xixia, the generals do not belong to each other, and none of them can control the situation.

"No need! My suggestion: shrink the entire defense line facing Xixia, and abandon all border villages with less than a thousand people. I will retreat to the border for a hundred miles!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

……

Zhao Xi's voice hadn't finished yet when the husbands interrupted.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, wait for the official to clarify!"

Fu Bi didn't believe that the officials would compromise, let alone that the officials were rebellious.

Just like the fall of Yanmen Pass, facing Xixia's retreat may not be without deep meaning.

"It was Xixia who pushed Beiliao to send troops to Yanmen, but now it is Beiliao who forces Xixia to disturb Liaoxia. The two are very different!"

Zhao Xi paused...

"Your Majesty's intention is to break the Liaoxia alliance as an entry point to break the border crisis?"

As long as you follow the official line of thinking, it is not difficult to understand what the official means...

"If so, the imperial court should send envoys to Xixia..."

"Order the Yanmen army to release the Xixia prisoners, and at the same time call out to the Xixia soldiers who are besieged in Xin County...~"

"Remove the garrison at the West Station of the Duting, and let the permanent envoys of Xixia leave..."

"Resume the discussion field with Xixia, open the border with Xixia, and allow merchants to pass by..."

In pure military affairs, Mr. Zheng Shitang may not really understand it, but if you want to play this trick called strategy, everyone is really an elite.

For a group of people, there is no need for Zhao Xi to inspire, you and I will quickly complete the whole plan.
