Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"So the Xixia people took the initiative to attack, but they hit Shunzhou?" Li Yongqi was also surprised.

Lu Zhi suddenly said: "I think, based on the abnormal night behavior of the Xixia people in the past two days, combined with the Xixia people's attack on Shunzhou, it makes sense, and it is also happening as expected by the officials, which shows that we are now It is correct to besiege Lingzhou."

"how do I say this?"

"Our army is now stabilizing Lingzhou. Li Yanxian has captured Shunzhou. The southern defense line of Xingqing Mansion has been broken. Our army's overall tactics are extremely stable. We did not rush forward rashly. Instead, we surrounded Lingzhou and put pressure on Xingqing Mansion. Maximize the internal differences in Xixia to weaken Xixia, Zhang Xianggong, have you ever said something wrong?"

"Yes."

Lu Zhi added: "During this period of time, I have often heard some officers say that when our army is superior to the Xixia people in terms of strength and combat power, we can directly send troops to Xingqing Mansion."

Lu Zhi's words were too polite, and some officials and military officers privately discussed that Zhang Jun had become too conservative in fighting in Shaanxi for ten years.

If he had the arrogance of fighting the Chang'an Battle back then, Xingqing Mansion would have been flattened long ago.

These people in the game have such an idea, let alone as latecomers.

Later, when many people summed up the battle of Xia Xia, they also thought that Zhang Jun fought too conservatively. He had already fought to Lingzhou and was still under siege by garrison troops. Why didn't he directly fight to Xingqing Mansion?

Some people also said that the general strategy of destroying Xia was formulated by the Zhao family, and Zhang Jun's siege of Lingzhou was not Zhang Jun's original intention.

Some people even said that if he was the overall commander, he would have smashed the walls of Xingqing Mansion and slaughtered all the thieves.

Can you say that he is wrong in these words?

No, because it is possible that it could actually be achieved, but only possible.

When people comment on previous events, they will push the results to the process.

The person who said these words was based on the analysis that Xixia would definitely be wiped out by Song Dynasty.

And often when any event happens, the most uncertain thing is the result.

After all, with hindsight, anyone can.

There is no absolute and certain success or failure in this world.

Historically, there are not a few cases where one's own advantage is much greater than that of the opponent, and the opponent turned defeat into victory due to uncontrollable factors.

As the supreme ruler of the country and the supreme commander of Miexia, Zhao Ning, who is in the overall situation of Miexia at this time, has to do his best to reduce accidents as much as possible, and at the same time destroy Xixia.

He didn't care how gorgeous the process of Miexia was, or how amazing the tactics were.

Under the current situation of the two sides, if Brother Li Cha wants to turn the tables, he can only send out surprise soldiers and use his familiarity with the geographical location to launch a surprise attack.

If you want to raid the [-] army, the best way is to let the [-] army move by itself, or attract the Song army to directly march to Xingzhou City, surrounded by Jingzhou, Huaizhou, and Shunzhou.

And these two operating spaces are now locked by Zhao Ning's "fortification" tactics.

Lu Zhi continued: "Our army is stabilizing in Lingzhou, and many of our own people have privately discussed that it is inappropriate, but now it seems that the Xixia people are indeed more anxious than us, otherwise the Xixia people would not be in a situation where they do not have an advantage in strength. Next, they attacked us at night, and suddenly attacked Shunzhou."

"You mean, the Xixia people attacked us at night to draw us out, and they also attacked Shunzhou to draw out our main force?"

"That's exactly what I mean. The biggest advantage of the Xixia people is that they know the terrain like the back of their hands. They just want to stun us, and then launch a quick attack on us with cavalry. If this tactic is executed well, it can easily make up for the lack of troops. disadvantage."

"Since the main force of Xixia has arrived in Shunzhou, let's go north to fight Jingzhou!" Zhang Jun said suddenly, "Li Yanxian will hold on for a while!"

Everyone thought about it, and Lu Zhi said: "It is feasible. Now that Xixia divides its troops to Shunzhou, the strength of Jingzhou must be weaker than before. Our army can also divide our troops."

Just as Zhang Jun was discussing with his staff and generals, Zhao Ning's letter came.

After Zhang Jun read it, he said, "Your Majesty, let us divide our forces to fight Shunzhou, not Jingzhou!"

"How does Your Majesty know that we are going to attack Jingzhou?" Liu Ziyu blurted out, and then stopped talking.

"Your Majesty means that the Xixia people still have iron kites and some elites, and their combatable soldiers have not been completely depleted. We are currently unable to distinguish whether Brother Li Cha will allocate the elites to Shunzhou or Jingzhou. Although our army has a great advantage, but When you are not familiar with the terrain, you cannot be led by the nose by the enemy."

Zhang Jun suddenly woke up.

"Your Majesty's intention is very simple. When Xixia people fight Shunzhou, we will fight Shunzhou as the main battlefield. Don't think that Jingzhou is empty. Even if Jingzhou is really empty, don't gamble. Don't care about temporary success or failure. Zhouzhou was besieged to fight for aid, even if it lost one or two games, continue to increase troops in Shunzhou, and consume the Xixia army in Shunzhou. As long as the Xixia army in Shunzhou is defeated, it means that Brother Li Cha's prestige in the Xingzhou court will be hit , the Xixia people themselves will make the situation worse again."

This is the highest state of fighting in vain.

Even if Jingzhou is really empty, I will not go there under uncertain circumstances.

I will never dance recklessly in the enemy's territory.

Just follow his own rhythm, dragging Xixia's internal situation even worse.

Just like in history, when the Jin army came to Kaifeng Mansion, the situation was not so bad. It was because Da Song couldn't hold his breath, played himself to death, and killed his own people in various ways.

Therefore, military and politics are inseparable.

Lu Zhi suddenly added: "Jingzhou and Shunzhou are very close. Your Majesty is worried that if we go to attack Jingzhou, Xixia's cavalry in Shunzhou suddenly turn around and attack Jingzhou. We are caught off guard!"

Liu Ziyu couldn't help exclaiming: "Your Majesty wants to control the situation so that there is no chance for the Xixia people to take advantage of it."

PS: Guys, I drove back to Shenzhen from Jingzhou early yesterday morning. I thought I could arrive before 23:[-] p.m., but I didn’t arrive in Shenzhen until [-]:[-].

I lay down all morning today before I came back to my senses.

Chapter 1095 Hitting East and West? (Second more)

You can think that everything in this world is a probability event.

Naturally, the same is true for wars. Rigorous strategic and tactical arrangements are designed to increase the probability of victory.

But it is impossible for human beings to calculate all possible probabilistic emergencies that may exist in nature.

Scholars try to construct a self-designed event to perfectly demonstrate their own godlikeness in their paper talk. The outstanding representative in this regard is Song Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the Song people also had a precedent of rushing into Xixia and leading to a big defeat, and the coach was the famous Han Qi.

Han Qi was born as a Jinshi and had been a prime minister for ten years. He was known as "the minister of the country" and "the face of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face".

Those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University in the 21st century are already geniuses. Compared with Han Qi horizontally, he can beat most Tsinghua geniuses, and he belongs to the top few geniuses.

Even he, because of his rash advance, was annihilated by Li Yuanhao's cavalry, and his blood stained the Wuding River.

Zhao Ning is not a person who likes to be smart.

The information that individuals have is limited, and the decisions that can be made are not necessarily correct.

But one thing that Zhao Ning can be sure of is that Brother Li Cha is short of time. Brother Li Cha is dreaming that the Song army will divide his troops to attack from various directions. It is best to go deep into Xingzhou. Break each one.

At noon on October 25th, Zhang Jun mobilized three armies, a total of 3 people, starting from Lingzhou and advancing towards Shunzhou.

The reason why the three-way army was divided into operations was because they were worried that Brother Li Cha would secretly ambush the cavalry.

As long as there are two routes to Shunzhou, they can set up camp in Shunzhou to deter and fight against the Xixia army in Shunzhou.

In the early morning of October 26, Brother Li Cha, who was drinking mutton soup, received the latest information.

"The Lingzhou Song army has left?"

Brother Li Cha stood up excitedly, took over the detailed military report and quickly checked it.

The scout said: "We detected that the three armies split up and moved towards Shunzhou."

"The Song army wants to support Shunzhou with multiple channels, and it is reasonable to worry that our army will attack by surprise troops and hinder support."

Brother Li Cha nodded, and continued: "Has the Song Army dispatched troops to Jingzhou?"

"For the time being, no troops have been detected in Jingzhou."

Zhang Chunming said, "Will Song Jun know our intention?"

Brother Li Cha said: "A few years ago, I heard a story told by Song people who were doing business in Xingqing Mansion. , When I met a rich man, I took the initiative to be enthusiastic. After I got used to it twice, I invited the man to play and drink together. After two days, I asked the man for a sum of money. Said that the man molested her."

"I heard that many men in Bianjing were blackmailed by such people, and some of them were officials or dignitaries. Do you know why?"

Zhang Chunming said suspiciously: "The lower officials are dull."

"Later, many men knew that some women should not be touched randomly, but as long as a beautiful woman comes over and takes the initiative, they will forget those warnings completely." Brother Li Cha said, "Those who think they can restrain themselves, but It’s just that there is no chance to touch the temptation, when the temptation comes, how many people can hold back?”

"Your Highness means that Jingzhou is now a temptation to Song Jun?"

"The Song Army knows that our army is in Shunzhou, so they must think that Jingzhou is empty. Even if Jingzhou is really empty, as long as they send troops to Jingzhou, our Shunzhou elite cavalry will immediately kill a carbine and catch them by surprise."

Now Brother Li Cha's biggest headache is that Song Jun has been bored in the barracks, sealing Lingzhou to death, putting too much pressure on the Xingzhou court, and also giving him too much political pressure on Brother Li Cha.

Brother Richard's ability to regain unified troop deployment and command at this critical moment is fully supported by all parties and has high hopes.

However, the attitudes of all parties may change as the war situation further deteriorates.

There are considerable political changes in it.

So Brother Li Cha urgently needs a victory to stabilize people's hearts, thereby stabilizing his prestige and status.

"Our army's sudden dispatch of troops to Shunzhou is inconsistent with common sense. The Song army may also think that our army came to Shunzhou on purpose." Zhang Chunming said.

"That's why the king sent people to raid the Song camp at night these few days."

Li Renyi was stunned, and said, "Your Highness, is this a reasonable reason for Bing Shun Prefecture?"

"That's right, if you harass the Song camp, and then quickly advance to Shunzhou, the Song people will mistakenly think that the king is playing tricks between Lingzhou and Shunzhou. Then I came up with the idea of ​​sending troops to Jingzhou, which is in line with my king's wishes."

After hearing this, Li Renyi finally understood why he sent cavalry to attack Song Ying at night a few days ago.

It turns out that you have to perform a full set of acting, otherwise it will be easy for your opponent to see through.

"Your Highness is wise, and the last general cannot catch up!" Li Renyi said.

Although Li Renyi is the son of Anhui, he is not the same as his father in his struggle for power. This man is a pure soldier, and he has little political stance.

He will not oppose Brother Li Cha just because his father and Brother Li Cha are political enemies.

Brother Li Cha said: "Keep an eye on Lingzhou. At this critical moment, it is impossible for Song Jun not to attack Jingzhou."

"Yes!"

At noon on the 26th, one of the three Song armies advancing from Lingzhou encountered Xixia cavalry.

It was the elite under Li Cha's command, coming and going like the wind, galloping in the snow, the snow on the trees was shaken off.

When the scouts reported the Xixia cavalry's attack, the cavalry deployed by the Song army immediately sent troops to intercept, buying time for the infantry to line up.

But to the surprise of the Song army, the number of Xixia cavalry who raided far exceeded their cavalry.

They quickly got rid of the entanglement of the Song Army's cavalry by virtue of their numerical superiority, rushed towards the unformed infantry, and killed them before the Song Army was completely formed.

Soon, the Song army's defense line was easily torn apart, causing the army to be defeated on a large scale in the snow.

Countless people fled in the cold and snowy weather.

When the battle report reached Brother Li Cha, Brother Li Cha was inspired, and immediately began to publicize in the army that they had defeated an elite of the main force of the Song Army.

After defeating one of them, the Xixia cavalry began to look for the other two in the snowy field like wolves.

But obviously, they ran out of time, and the other two arrived in Shunzhou, and stabilized, set up camp, and set up defenses.

On the morning of October 27th, the scouts reported the situation of the two Song armies to Brother Li Cha. Brother Li Cha said: "It doesn't matter if they are not intercepted. The king himself does not intend to use Shunzhou as the main battlefield. I don't believe Zhang Jun has no idea about Jingzhou!"

Chapter 1096 Responsibility rests with King Jin (third update)

Zhongshan, the head of the Lingzhou Command Army, was in a very depressed mood. It had been many days since he sent a letter for help to Xingzhou, but he didn't even see a single bird.

On this day, the scouts came back again.

"Commander, there is no news of any reinforcements."

Lingbu Zhongshan drank the wine and said impatiently: "Go down!"

Rebu Shigeyama felt abandoned.

But he has always believed that Xingzhou will not give up Lingzhou, and His Majesty will not give up Lingzhou.

As Lingzhou is the southern gate of Xingqing Mansion, once it falls, Xingqing Mansion will directly become the front line.

But since it is so important, there has been no trace of any reinforcements.

Under the heavy pressure of the siege of the [-] Song army, Lingzhou City has been divided into two factions.

Deputy Commander Fei Ting Ye Shen said in an anxious tone: "Commander, it's not an option to go on like this. Morale in the city is very low. If the Song army suddenly attacks the city, it may be difficult to hold it. Why don't you just open the city and surrender."

Fei Tingye Shen is the surrender faction. This faction believes that taking refuge in Song Dynasty will not only save their lives, but also enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future. With the money in their hands, they can blatantly go to Song Dynasty to buy more abundant and cheaper goods.

why not!

Shang Zhui immediately stood up to object: "Command the army, you must never surrender. Now Xingzhou must have raised a large number of troops. I have been in Daxia for a hundred years, and I have never been afraid of Song Dog!"

Obviously, Shangzhui is a staunch main fighter, and when he thinks it is necessary, he will fight the Song army to the end.

And the main combat faction is very active, and every day it is everywhere to promote the main battle.

Fei Ting and Ye Shen said: "Then do you know why the Song army besieged the city instead of attacking it?"

"Song Dog is naturally afraid of casualties."
