Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 396 Zhao Ying's Analysis

In fact, the war with the Kingdom of Jin has never ended.

After Yunzhong Road and Yanjing Road were returned to the Song Dynasty, Da Song had a strategic buffer point.

But when Wang Ting's lone army went deep and captured Linhuang City, it locked the war in the North into a deadlock.

To untie this deadlock, Yelu Dashi needs to withdraw his troops from the Western Regions.

But the Jin people saw that the weather was getting colder this year, and after the long winter was expected, they began to march toward the Song Dynasty with all their eggs in one basket.

The main force of tens of thousands of golden men and hundreds of thousands of signed troops are like locusts crossing the border.

The answer given by the Jinren is not to untie the knot, but to cut the mess quickly.

Wang Ting's decision was absolutely correct, and the extremely clever strategic layout, four or two moves, forced Jin Ting to return to help, and achieved the goal of making the Jin people retreat.

When the cold winter comes, everyone will strike.

In the spring of the following year, the military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture was completely completed, and there was no need to worry about anything.

A general does not think about victory, he thinks about defeat first, so he can fight a hundred battles without being imperiled.

To be invincible first is the most profound lesson that Zhao Huan has been taught by generals such as Zhong Shi Dao, Zhong Shi Zhong, Wang Zhi, Yue Fei, etc. after Zhao Huan came to this world.

When Zhao Huan received the military report that Fengsheng Prefecture was attacked, he actually thought about ordering Wang Zhi to rush thousands of miles to attack the enemy, so as to relieve the pressure on Fengsheng Prefecture.

But this military order, he really can't write. He chooses to believe in the soldiers of the Northland and will not let himself down. He chooses to believe in the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and can keep his dignity.

Wang Ting's choice was beyond Zhao Huan's expectation.

Sacrifice yourself to complete Da Song?
"Prepare an edict, promote the king to report to the Taiwei, and all the soldiers of the Jiesheng Army's Northern Expedition will be promoted to three ranks in a row. It will be passed on to the whole army of the whole country, the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Huan said sadly.

Unless Da Song goes out to fight across the board, the soldiers of Wang Bao's army can only depend on their own good luck.

Zhao Huan looked at Wang Tin's letter, and his blood rushed to his forehead, wanting to attack across the board to cater to Wang Tin's attack.

After he fainted out of breath, after waking up, he also calmed down, knowing that he was a little reckless.

The attack across the board is a field battle outside the city. Up to now, in the battles between the Song Dynasty and the Jin people, there is no record of victory in field battles, and most of them are carried out between siege and defense.

Because the battlefield is on Yunzhong Road and Yanjing Road.But the attack across the board is different. They are all field battles.

The Song Dynasty had no cavalry, and there were too many golden men with poor mobility. If a slight flaw was accidentally exposed, the game would be lost.

Shanhaiguan and Yunzhong Road will be dangerous.

And Yue Fei was suppressing the bandits, and retreating halfway would cause endless harm.

Zhao Huan was silent for a long time and said: "By the way, I also attach this letter from Wang Zhi. Let Li Bangyan write about Wang Zhi's affairs in a storybook and publish it. Arrange for the residence newspaper and morning newspaper as well."

"Zhao Ying, do you think I am becoming more and more timid and ruthless?" Zhao Huan asked with a miserable smile.

Back then, I was studded with Wanyan Zonghan in front of the Datong Mansion, betting everything, daring to let Da Song change to a new sky.

At that time, if I couldn't win the battle of Yunzhong Road, I would really lose nothing, and I would really die at the Ningwu juncture.

The current self, the generals under his command lead the soldiers in bloody battles for thousands of miles, but he has no way to help the other party, he is timid.

Have you lost your courage now?Have you slowly become what you hate?

Zhao Huan knew that he had not lost his courage.

If you are just an ordinary person, you can naturally show off your courage.

But he is now the emperor of Song Dynasty.

In the past, although he was called the emperor, Zhao Ji had a small imperial court in the south, and even if he played around in the north, there were still people around.

No matter how bad it is, it is the original track of history. Zhao Jian established the Southern Song Dynasty.

But now he is the de facto emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the military, government and people's livelihood are all decided by him.

Back then he bet on himself in Stud, but now he is attacking across the board, betting on the entire Great Song Dynasty.

He can't afford to gamble now.

The emperor is ruthless, these four words, Zhao Huan finally understood a little more.

Zhao Ying frowned and thought for a long time. The official's question should be just asking and answering.

"Official, the old minister is a fool. He can't understand what the official is saying. I don't know what the official is thinking about."

"But the official, General Wang, oh, now it's Wang Taiwei."

"The matter of Wang Taiwei, I think, is not certain. At the beginning, the officials thought that Wang Taiwei was in Linhuang City, which was extremely dangerous. As a result, Wang Taiwei, who eats and drinks spicy food in Linhuang City, even gave it to the officials. A lot of souvenirs."

"Up to now, there are still a lot of kumiss and cheese in the ice book."

"I feel that we are too far away from Linhuang and Huanglong Mansion. I don't know what happened, so I rashly decided that Wang Taiwei's Northern Expedition is inevitable. I think it is a little inappropriate."

"As for Wang Taiwei, he was also a hero who was killed in the sea of ​​corpses in Taiyuan City after a long battle. He was also in Linhuang City and captured prisoners for several months. Condition."

"I thought that Taiwei Wang had planned to do this a long time ago, and he had been planning it all along, not acting rashly. This prepared battle will definitely go much easier. I always feel that Taiwei Wang will come back."

Zhao Ying knew where the official's heart knot was, so she babbled a lot, and returned the table that the official threw out, and picked up the paper.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying, and at first hearing it made sense.

"You! Just make me happy every day." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

He could tell that Zhao Ying was actually just comforting herself.

"Isn't this useful for a minister? To cook for the officials, to widen the hearts of the officials." Zhao Ying laughed.

As Zhao Ying spoke, she brought up the lamp and said, "Officials, I'll get you some supper."

"You go and rest, and Wei Chengen will come instead." Zhao Huan let Zhao Ying go down, Zhao Ying was older than himself, it's not a big deal to suffer like this every day.

"Hey, I got it." Zhao Ying paced and walked out of Wende Hall.

As soon as he left the gate of the palace, he ran wildly, went to Qingming Palace to find Xiaohuangmen and confessed, and then ran to Yanfu Palace to confess, he wiped his sweat and hurried out of the palace.

It is not a trivial matter for the officials to be angry. Everything must be handled carefully, otherwise it will be troublesome.

He wanted to tell Li Gang in the outer court the news of the official's anger, otherwise Chang Chao would be angry with the official again, which would not be a good thing.

Of course, he didn't forget what the officials told him, and he had forgotten all about the officials' gaffes.

When Zhao Ying returned to the palace, she saw Li Qingzhao at the gate of the palace.

"Is Li Gongzheng waiting for our family?" Zhao Ying looked around, and he understood instantly.

Li Qingzhao knew about the government's outrage.

This woman is not simple, she is much better than Zhu Lian and Zhang Tanghua, she has just arrived in the palace for less than a month, and she knows that there is a disturbance in the palace.

"Since Zhao Duzhi knows all about it, I won't be polite. The anger of the officials today is the war in the northern border?" Li Qingzhao asked worriedly.

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "Wang Zhi, I'm afraid Wang Taiwei won't be able to come back."

Zhao Ying probably told Li Qingzhao the reason for the official's anger, and Li Qingzhao had a clear expression.

She sighed and said, "I remember the official's comment to Wang Tin that he was born a hero and died a ghost? It's a pity that I'm a weak woman and I can't help the official."

Li Qingzhao didn't even know where Huanglong Mansion, Linhuang, Datong, and Fengsheng Prefecture were.

Zhao Huan's appetite is not very good, and he always feels angry.

It was not until he received Wang Ting's second military report that Zhao Huan ate two bowls of noodles and felt much more comfortable.

Wang Zhen led the army to spare Shangjing and Tatar tribes and headed towards Huanglong Mansion.

What made Zhao Huan feel relieved was that Wang Ting's march was not as difficult as imagined.

The aristocratic rule of the Jin people was extremely bloody. There were not only Khitan people, Jin people, Bohai people, Han children, but also the Qiyan and Tatar tribes in the North.

The ruling policy of the Jin people is actually very simple. The first is to divide and rule, and the second is the "reduction" strategy of regular massacres and looting.

Wang Ting was on Jinren's territory, and his journey was fairly smooth, except for the Jinren, no one made things difficult for him.

It's just that Wang Ting frowned and looked at the sun, and finally understood what Yelu Yujian said about the white disaster.

The sun is too dazzling, and there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and it is easy to get lost.Wang Ting could only set up camp and wait for the snow to melt before leaving.

An old herdsman in the north told him that the first few snowfalls of each winter usually melt away.

"How many scouts came back today?" Wang Bao asked while sitting in the tent.

"A total of [-] cavalry were dispatched, and three of them did not come back. General Wang, should we gather some auxiliary troops?" A soldier replied.

Wang Bin nodded and said, "We are Song people! Are we the same as Jin people? Do you know where to find them? I can hire them for money."
