Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 522
The time when the Jinren chose to attack Wuja City happened to be stuck at the node of the Chinese New Year.

This once again disrupted Wang Yan's plan. Wang Yan originally planned to hold a New Year's Ceremony during the Chinese New Year to win over the people's hearts.

This is very important. The celebration of every major festival can improve Wure people's recognition of Song Dynasty.

Wang Yan was fully prepared, but it was a pity that Jinren no longer gave him this opportunity.

Whether it can repel the attack of the Jin people this time has become a dispute over the ownership of the black soil area near Urja City.

Wuja and Huining Mansions are located at the north and south ends of the Black Soil Area. Both Buyeo Mansion and Huining Mansion are trying their best to control more Black Soil Areas.

And this time the Jin people attacked Wure City, obviously they came prepared, from the battle preparation to the march, they were silent. If it weren't for the news from Han Fang, Wure City might have been severely damaged.

But since the Jin man's intentions have been exposed, as long as the defense is carefully deployed, the Jin man's offensive should not have much effect.

He patted the horse and quickly headed towards the direction of Urja City.

Da Song will not forget that this song was also played in Liucheng and Hetao areas of Baoyi Prefecture at the same time.

Zhang Xiaochun did not choose to surrender after all this time, he always felt a little ashamed because the opponent was from Xixia.

However, he did not choose to surrender and was actively preparing for battle. Although Wuyuan City was in danger several times, he turned the crisis into safety.

When Hu Yantong rushed into the Xixia camp with his cavalry and burned the food and grass of the Xixia army, Wuyuan City finally got a chance to breathe.

When Li Qianshun's logistics supply line was speeding up to replenish food and grass for Xixia's [-] army, the dragon flag with the red background and yellow character Yue character floated in the distance.

Then the morale of the Xixia people collapsed.

They had been fearing that Yue Fei's Dongshengwei's army would come to repel them.

This kind of worry has been brewing for more than a month. When they really saw the bright Yue flag, the people of Xixia didn't even engage in a continuous battle.

Those who threw away their helmets and armor directly fled in the direction of Dengkou.

Yue Fei's attack was to eliminate the [-] Xixia people. Zhang Xian of Hangjin City led [-] Hejian troops to Dengkou City to block the Xixia people's retreat route.

If it is said that Yue Fei frightened the Xixia people away with his illustrious record, the army led by Zhang Xian detoured to Dengkou and blocked the Xixia people's retreat.

The last knife that killed the Xixia people was done by the people in the Hetao area.

The Xixia soldiers' looting and the behavior of treating the people as rations completely ignited the anger of the people in the Hetao area. The people in the entire Houtao area picked up their only farm tools and began to resist.

The pursuit of the cavalry led by Yue Fei killed most of the Xixia soldiers, and Yue Fei also captured nearly [-] Xixia soldiers.

When Yue Fei's soldiers formed a team of three and three and pushed the battle line to Dengkou, it marked that the 5 people in Xixia were completely wiped out in the Houtao area.

Yue Fei once again proved his talent as a famous general with his brilliant record.

"I don't know how Zhang Xianggong plans to manage the two sets of Hetao?" Yue Fei took off the bloody cage hand.

After washing the cage hands in clean water, he dried them next to the brazier, and took out a small iron bottle, which was full of oil.

Washing, drying, oiling, and maintaining the cage hand, Yue Fei never forgot.

Although the iron materials of the Song Dynasty have become less tense with the continuous expansion of the Cizhou mining area, plate armor accessories such as cage hands are still extremely scarce accessories, and the entire army does not exceed a thousand pieces.

He carefully disassembled the cage hand, ready to apply the oil and store it in the green wooden box.

"General Yue, is there any good way?" Zhang Xiaochun asked cautiously.

Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "It seems that I am asking you. General Wang asked me to ask Mr. Zhang if he was scared to surrender this time."

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Yue Fei who was carefully maintaining his hands under the candlelight and said, "Thought about it."

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, his subordinates stopped moving, he sneered, and said, "You are honest. It's a pity that there is no chance, the Xixia people are all dead."

Zhang Xiaochun scratched his head and said: "Thinking and doing are still a little bit worse. I don't know if General Yue knew Zhao Chongguo when he was a strong man?"

Yue Fei continued to maintain the cage hand, and after oiling it, he relieved himself and said in the box: "Don't think that you scholars know the allusions, many of us warriors have also read books."

"One of the 72 sages of the Wu Temple's ten philosophers, Zhao Chongguo, who ranks in Xiyu, ranks only after Wei Qing, how can someone not know Zhao Chongguo?"

Zhang Xiaochun said with embarrassment: "General Yue misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just remembered some decrees of the Western Han General Zhao Chongguo. I think that in the current situation, we can rely on garrisoning land to defend Xixia and seek Hetao again."

"That's what Zhao Chongguo did in Hetao at the beginning, and the effect was good. So someone thought that the effect of farming in Hetao should not be bad."

"Oh? You are quite knowledgeable." Yue Fei put away his things and said with a smile.

This Zhang Xiaochun may be a bit timid, but he still has a certain vision and strategy.

"I just want to report to the official family. I can forward what you want to say." Yue Fei opened the letter with a smile.

Zhang Xiaochun asked with a hint of confusion on his face: "I told you, the officials won't be angry, right?"

Yue Fei ignored Zhang Xiaochun's statement and started to write military newspapers. He first made a summary of the war in the Hetao area with the officials.

The main army led by Zhang Xian has completed its mission and is returning to Hangjin City and Shuofang City. Yue Fei has a rest in Wuyuan City for a day, and he has to hurry back to Dongshengwei.

Yue Fei was worried that he would cause unnecessary troubles if he eliminated the enemy in the back. For example, the Jin people attacked Dongshengwei, and the defense system of the entire Song Dynasty collapsed.

However, judging from the military newspapers frequently sent by Han Shizhong, it seems that the Jin people are guarding the city and have no intention of attacking at all.

According to the information from Jingbian City, the golden man's eyes are now focused on Wure City.

Han Shizhong analyzed that the Jin people were unwilling to fight on two fronts.

This year's two-front battle between Wushabao and Koryo was extremely risky, and the Jin people, who had gained very little, seemed unwilling to lightly start the two-front battle again.

This made Yue Fei heave a sigh of relief, but he still decided to hurry back to Dongshengwei to prevent any trouble.

After Yue Fei finished writing the letter, he dried the ink and said, "Tell me what you think."

"It's not suitable to send troops to attack Xixia at this time. You gain [-] benefits from farming, but you lose [-] benefits from sending troops." After Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, he looked at Yue Fei nervously.

Yue Fei is well-known as a main fighter, and he has won many battles. The attack on Xingzhong Mansion was at most a defeat, and he never lost a single soldier. How can it be considered a defeat?
How could he not feel uneasy when he said such remarks of a strike and truce in front of Yue Fei?
Yue Fei looked at Zhang Xiaochun hiding his left hand in his sleeve, and said, "Bring it here, I know you've already prepared it, ready to convince me, and then let me convince the officials, right? Let me see."

Zhang Xiaochun nodded, and took out a booklet "Twelve Cases of Cheap Farming on Tiaoshang".

Yue Fei looked at this letter for a long time, and said: "At this time, the turmoil in Bianjing's "Diaogu Battlefield Essay" has not yet settled down, and there may be major changes in the court after the next year, so you don't want to be in this slow war Zazi, right?"

Zhang Xiaochun nodded helplessly, the whole Song Dynasty knew about the "Diaogu Battlefield Essay", he was a timid person, so naturally he didn't dare to write a letter at this time.

"A truce in the fields will benefit you twelve times, and you will lose twelve benefits if you send troops. Your letter is well written. You convinced me." Yue Fei said with a smile, planning to summarize Zhang Xiaochun's letter and submit it to the officials.

Zhang Xiaochun's truce refers to the truce against Xixia, not the Jinren.

There are twelve in total, and among these twelve, in Yue Fei's opinion, three are the most critical.

The first is that the Hetao area, especially the Houtao area, should rest with the people. If there is another battle, the people's strength will be exhausted.

Houtao suffered from the military disaster of the Xixia people. If the fighting continues, the people's hearts will be in turmoil.

Article [-] Residents may combine fields for farming without loss of agriculture.

Houtao was originally a big granary, but now even the Changping granary has bottomed out, and the cultivation in the spring of next year will need the support of Hedong Road.

If the fighting continues, the transfer of grain and grass will not be enough, which will easily cause disadvantages in the transportation of grain and grass on the front line.

Article [-] Jinren must not be unprepared, and Khitan must be worried.

From Zhang Xiaochun's point of view, the current situation is very similar to the situation that Zhao Chongguo faced back then. The Jin people in Wushabao were eager to get back Dongshengwei, and then seek the territory west of Daxianbei Mountain.

And Xixia still has the peeping of the remnants of the Liao army led by Yelu Dashi.

If they continue to attack Xixia, Great Song may not benefit, but Can Liao will definitely benefit. These are the three most important reasons why Zhang Xiaochun should not fight Xixia in his twelve points.

These are also the three reasons that convinced Yue Fei.

"I will explain to the officials that the Twelve Incidents in the Fields are your credit. What you said here is very good." Yue Fei said with a smile after finishing writing the letter.

Tuntian is a series of decrees to persuade farmers.

For example, the use of incentives for soldiers, common people, and merchants to reclaim wasteland; there are also specific military dispatches in which soldiers serve as soldiers in wartime, and busy farming is for farmers;

What Zhang Xiaochun said was very good, but he didn't dare to write a letter about the truce, so he came up with his own idea and wanted Yue Fei to share the credit and risk with him.

Of course Yue Fei could see Zhang Xiaochun's intentions, and he was also willing to contribute a little to the Hetao matter.

In fact, Zhang Xiaochun stayed away from court for too long, and lost the keen sense of politics that he should have.

From Yue Fei's point of view, after this incident has been going on for so long, the officials exiled Kong Duanyou to Zhenzhou, in the name of re-education.

The official was planning to hold it up high, but put it down gently.

Yue Fei is well aware of the hearts of officials, so in order not to interrupt the deployment of the Jin Kingdom, everything else can be compromised.

Including his own face.

There may be a liquidation in the next year, and Yue Fei speculates that Li Gang will also take action to clean up some prominent tumors in the court.

It is impossible for this action to involve the entire territory of the Song Dynasty, at most it will be done in the Beijing officials in Bianjing.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaochun's meritorious service in persuasion can only let Yue Fei get a share.

"Then can you add this paragraph to me?"

"I am fortunate to have received the grace of God, and sent gold to heaven to punish him. This crime deserves ten thousand deaths. However, your majesty is lenient, and he did not bear to punish him, so the number of ministers can be counted."

"What is the trick of a foolish official? He dare not avoid being punished by the axe. He is ignorant of Chen Yu, but His Majesty will examine it carefully." Zhang Xiaochun said anxiously.

Yue Fei shook his head again and again when he heard that the officials even used Zhang Xiaochun to do the Hetao Economic Strategy, which shows that the officials are a person who does not live up to his expectations.

Zhang Xiaochun wanted to surrender, but he didn't do such a thing after all.

He followed Taiyuan City, fought for more than 200 days, and was surrounded by Xixia people in Hetao for more than 60 days.

Yue Fei felt that Zhang Xiaochun didn't have to be so careful.

It's a pity that Zhang Xiaochun obviously didn't dare to use his life to test the bottom line of the officials.

Yue Fei smiled and said, "Okay, can I add it to you?"

Yue Fei felt that if all the literati in the Song Dynasty were like Zhang Xiaochun, they would be pretty good. If you are afraid, you should be afraid, and if you do things, you should do things.

It's quite capable without being slowed down, and that's enough.

Yue Fei and Zhang Xiaochun were discussing Zhao Chongguo's strategy in Hetao, while in Laizhou City at this time, Wanyan Zongqian and Wang Ting were also discussing Zhao Chongguo.

Wanyan Zong wiped the sweat from his forehead dryly and said: "Zhao Chongguo is a typical example. Sun Tzu's Art of War - Xingpian said that the so-called good fighters are better than those who are easy to win. Therefore, the victory of a good fighter is neither wise nor courageous." Gong, so its victory is not Intuit."

"That's why it is said: Those who are good at fighting do not have a great name."

"Look at Zhao Chongguo, isn't it because he hasn't fought any tough battles? Who among the people knows him? But he is one of the 72 sages in the Wu Temple, and he has enjoyed the emperor's sacrifices for generations. This is called a good fighter without a great name."

"Don't keep thinking about attacking Jinzhou. That is the gate of Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Dynasty. Why are you attacking Jinzhou? Nailed in Laizhou is a serious problem for Wanyan Zongwang. He still can't eat you. Just keep Laizhou. People are like sticks in their throats."

"The feeling of eating but not being able to eat, and vomiting but not being able to vomit is always uncomfortable."

After Wanyan Zonggan finished speaking, he continued to do his own thing. He was working on the mud, and he was going to give the king a kang to come out.

The injuries on Wang Ting's body were more serious than those of the Song Dynasty's emperor. He was stationed in Laizhou, and when the cold blew, he would feel pain all over his body.

Wanyan Zongqian didn't want Wang Chen to die. If Wang Chen died, he had to die too.

Moreover, Lin Youyu didn't want to see Wang Ting in such pain, and the Jiesheng army stationed in Laizhou throughout the Song Dynasty also didn't want to see Wang Ting suffering from injuries.

But the cold wind was not under Wanyan Zongqian's control, so Wanyan Zongqian decided to take out the golden man's way of fighting the cold and give Wang the whole heated kang.

It is not complicated to make a heated kang, as long as there are bricks.

He also drew a sketch, instructing the peasants of the Work Relief Home and the soldiers of the Jiesheng Army to build a row of houses with floor heating.

Dig a hole in the foundation of the house, plug bellflowers, block the fire door, let the bellflowers burn incompletely in the pit, and the smoke will go along the flue made by the bricks to ensure the indoor temperature.

When the ground heating room and heated kang were installed, it would not be so difficult for Wang Ting to spend the winter.

Shivering in the cloak, Wang Bing said, "Isn't this boring? I'm stationed in Shanhaiguan, so I can't attack. There was only one battle a year, and it was my wife who took over the Imperial City Division. I was beaten, and I haven’t moved for a year, and I feel like my bones are rusted.”

Lin Youyu patted Wang Ting lightly and said: "If you want me to say, you are exhausted! This Jiedushi has been appointed. However, in the two days of carefree life, you only want to fight! You have done all your meritorious service. What merits did the other generals perform?"

"The credit is great enough, so we won't stand." Lin Youyu coaxed Wang Tin like a child.

In her words, there was still the slightest worry of the Lord of Great Skills.

In Lin Youyu's view, the officials put Wang Tin in Shanhaiguan, and they also had the idea of ​​not wanting Wang Tin to continue to make meritorious service.

"Sister-in-law is underestimating the emperor of the Song Dynasty. I have seen the official, and he is a reckless man!"

"I just want to beat the golden man to death! He is a benevolent person in his bones. Even if Wang Zhengchen makes great achievements, the officials will only be happy."

Wanyan Zonggan put the mud in his hand on the bricks and said: "If you can't seal it, you will be given various privileges. Anyway, your Central Plains dynasty favored this. If you enter the dynasty, you will not be obsessed. Praise the privileges of not being named. A bunch, that's it."

"Anyone who says that Wang Zhengchen rebelled in front of the emperor is really rebelling. The officials are not stupid. Anyone in the world can rebel, but Wang Zhengchen can't."

Wanyan Zongqian commanded two people to lift a cement slab and place it on top of the masonry, with several steel bars in the cement slab.

This method was invented by the emperor. It is called the method of reinforced concrete structure. The stone slabs made are durable, but it is absolutely good for heating a kang.

"I hope. That's enough. Let Zong Gan do his work. You can go back to the house." Lin Youyu persuaded Wang Tin.

Wanyan Zong shoveled some dust, spread it under the kang and smashed it firmly, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "You told me to call me Wang Jiayan!"

"Zhengchen, go back to the house, I'm here, don't worry, you'll be living in a warm room with floor heating the day after tomorrow!"

Wang Jin nodded, stood up and went back to the house, took out a piece of paper trembling in his hand, imitating the song "The Great Song Dynasty Will Not Forget" which was passed down by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Zong frowned, and shook his head again and again when he heard Wang Ting's singing voice like that of a male duck.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty is really a genius!
During the Chinese New Year, relying on this song, I don’t know how many soldiers will be able to win the hearts of the soldiers, and I don’t know how many fans of the Song Emperor will be born.

Da Song didn't forget Wang Zhengchen, but it's a pity that Da Jin completely forgot him, the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Zonggan.

Wanyan Zongqian went from being handcuffed at the beginning, to fighting thousands of miles later, owning his own ox cart, and then giving advice to the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in exchange for the current stability.

Wang Ting no longer let people look at him.

Wanyan Zongqian even took people out of the city to hunt. As far as he ran, he could see the iron workshops in Benxi and the tall city walls of Liaoyang City.

But he didn't intend to go back.

It would be better to stay in Song Dynasty to be safe.

He is going to Liaoyang City now, he will go in on the first day, and he will die suddenly on the second day.

His identity determined that he would never return to the Kingdom of Jin.

"Someone from Wang Jiayan is looking for you! She said her name is Brother Li Jin, and she is your Concubine Shun..." A soldier who was putting on rafters in the distance shouted loudly.

"It's a beautiful Wure girl, isn't it the romantic debt you left in the Kingdom of Jin? It's a big show, concubine Shun!" The soldier burst into laughter after speaking, and the entire camp was filled with joy. atmosphere.

Wanyan Zongqian was a man of gold, and in the eyes of soldiers of the Song Dynasty, a man of gold was equivalent to military merit.

But Wanyan Zongqian could not be killed. If he was killed, Wang Ting would be very angry and sad.

The soldiers also couldn't do anything, after all, in front of Huanglong Mansion, on the snowy field, Wanli Zhuanjin relied on Wanyan Zong's tricks to survive.

Therefore, the soldiers can only regard him as a Song Dynasty.

After a long time, everyone has forgotten that he is a noble man of gold.

The sudden appearance of Concubine Shun reminded them that Wanyan Zongqian was still King Liao of Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Zonggan raised his head. He glanced at the woman, shook his head and laughed loudly and said, "There are too many impostors! Lao Tzu, the name of King Liao, is still very valuable!"

There were tears in his eyes, that was indeed his wife Li Jinge.

And his eldest son, Wanyan Chong, who is less than nine years old this year.

Wanyan Dibo, the seven-year-old eldest daughter, and Wanyan Liang in her arms.

But he can only joke around, he can't recognize it.

The Emperor Song would not tolerate him having descendants. Although Jin Guo forgot about him, his wife still traveled thousands of miles from Huining Mansion to find him with her children.

"That's your wife. We've investigated it and reported it to the officials. Get ready." Lin Youyu said standing behind Wanyan Zongqian, looking at the woman in the distance.

Wanyan Zongqian's face changed several times, and finally turned into a sigh. He didn't know if the emperor of Song Dynasty would spare his wife and children.

Wanyan Zongqian didn't mean to blame Brother Li Jin. After he was kicked out of Huanglong Mansion, his three children and Brother Li Jin had nowhere to go.

Jin Guo doesn't want them.

But can Da Song tolerate himself having heirs?
The sky is big and the earth is big, there is no place for his Wanyan Zonggan family to stand.
