Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wu Shu was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "Your Majesty knows me well."

On May [-]th, Wushu arrived in Shangjing.

Along with Wushu, thousands of Wushu's personal guards entered the city.

Knowing that Wushu had entered the city, the Jurchen nobles headed by Wanyan Zongjun ran to the palace.

"Your Majesty, King Wei has entered the city!"

"I know."

"The king of Wei brought his own soldiers, this is treason!"

Wan Yanquan looked at the book calmly. He was reading Zhao Guanjia's "General Theory of Money", and there were also "Logic" and "Dialectics" on the table.

"It was I who asked him to lead the troops into the city."

"Your Majesty, people in the city are panicking!" Wanyan Zongjun immediately shouted.

The rest of the people followed closely and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wu Shu is going to lead troops to kill us all! Kill them all! Your Majesty..."

Before everyone could speak, the servants outside shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, King Wei is listening to the announcement outside the hall."

"Xuan!"

Wanyan Quan put down the book in his hand and sat up.

Wu Shu strode into the palace, and walked over under the eyes of many nobles.

Wanyan Zongjun and the others hurriedly backed up a few steps, fearing that Wushu would cut them down with his sword.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Quick and free."

Wanyan Quan went up very enthusiastically, held Wu Shu's hand, helped Wu Shu up, sat beside him, and said, "Fourth Uncle, I feel relieved when you come back."

"The minister has always missed His Majesty in Yanjing."

"I've always missed my fourth uncle."

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. It was my mistake to be beaten to Liaoyang by the Song army."

"The Song army was repelled and suffered heavy losses. We did not lose."

Wanyan Quan is very good at letting people go down the stairs.

Wanyan Zongjun jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei..."

"King Liang, you take all the loyal ministers out first, I want to have a chat with King Wei alone."

"His Majesty……"

"go out!"

"Sir, please retire!"

After everyone went out, Wan Yanquan stood up and said, "Fourth Uncle, I know about Wan Yanchang's collusion with the people of Song Dynasty. I have no choice but to not kill him now."

Wanyan Quan didn't have the condescending majesty of the emperor just now, as if he had returned to the youth who was still doing a good job back then.

At that time, the person he trusted the most was Wu Shu, just like he trusted his father.

"The overall situation is the most important right now." Wu Shu said, "Wan Yanchang is still useful, so don't move it yet."

"Fourth Uncle is right, so what should we do next?"

"Immediately send envoys to see Hebul of the Mughal Kingdom. Xixia is gone. We must find a way to win over the Mughals and let the Mughals send out their men and horses."

Wan Yanquan said: "The Mughals have enmity with us, and they will not help us at this time."

"Exercise both kindness and majesty."

In Bianjing in May, the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus, and the busy Bianhe River is full of merchant ships, large and small.

Boxes of medicinal materials were unloaded at the ferry and transported to the carriage.

You can also see huge ships full of huge logs.

It is said that many of these giant trees were transported from the South China Sea.

As for the current situation in the South China Sea, there are different opinions from all over the Song Dynasty.

Some people say that the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom has surrendered and has become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

It is also said that Srivijaya has formed a large number of troops, and there is a war in the South China Sea.

There are also private rumors that Li Bao, the commander of the South China Sea army and horses, has supported his troops in Ling Yamen and established himself as the king and hegemony.

But what is certain is that since last year, a large number of South China Sea commodities have been continuously transported to Song Dynasty.

These include local products from the South China Sea, as well as products from the big food countries that have traveled across the ocean.

It is also said that more than 100 huge sea-going ships stop in Hangzhou Bay every day, filling the entire Hangzhou Bay.

Countless silk, tea and pottery are shipped on board every day, heading south to the South China Sea, heading for the distant Great Food Country.

Now there is a trend of going to the South China Sea in the Song Dynasty. For this reason, there are many "South China Sea Schools" in Bianjing.

But none of this stands out for another thing.

Today's Bianjing city newspaper headline published the content of fully opening up business and trade with the Kingdom of Jin, which attracted the attention of countless people.

In fact, not only the newspapers in Bianjing, but also the headlines of newspapers in Nanjing, Xijing and Beijing all published such content.

Judging from the current situation, the opening of trade with the Kingdom of Jin means that countless goods from Liaodong can enter the Great Song Dynasty, at least the four capitals are given priority.

For Song people, this is also a good thing.

However, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting in Da Nei, was not concerned about this matter.

Zhao Ning was carefully watching the report sent by Liu Kai.

There was only one thing in Liu Kai's report: the Uighurs had attacked Zhangye!

It was a raid.

Not long after Zhe Yanzhi captured Zhangye, the Uighurs launched an attack on Zhangye when the Song army that had just occupied Zhangye was exhausted and the reinforcements had not followed.

Of course, there is another report, which is evidence that Wangchang in Xingzhou colluded with the Uighurs.

"This is a long-planned action!" Zhao Guanjia's angry voice resounded in Wende Hall.

The governors of the two prefectures stood in Wende Hall, silent.

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, the truce is now the general trend..."

"That's a truce with the Jinren!"

"But people are exhausted..."

"Could it be that I just watched Zhangye being captured by the Uighurs?"

"Absolutely not!" Qin Hui immediately jumped out. At this time, the Zhao officials have expressed their attitude. It is a good time to flatter, "Zhangye has excellent pastures, which can feed a large number of war horses. If the Uyghurs take it, the Uyghurs will be there. Station the army and spy on Shaanxi at any time!"

"Zhang Jun, tell me, what should I do?"

Zhang Jun said: "Hasn't Your Majesty asked Liu Kai to reinforce Zhe Yanzhi?"

"I asked you to fight or not to fight?"

"Since the army has already moved, it is time to fight!"

"To what extent?"

"Fight until the Uighurs destroy the country!"

"Can the logistics keep up?"

"From Xingzhou, I can keep up."

"The four towns in Hexi are thousands of miles deep. It is not so easy to fight back against the Uighur country. You have to make full preparations." Lu Yihao said, "First expel the Uighurs from Hexi, and then send people to question them. There is no rush."

"Just do it!"

Zhao Ning was very angry on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.

He now wants to continue to use troops in the Northwest, and he can really support it financially.

The national treasury has doubled. Since Li Bao took Ling Yamen (Singapore), the income from the sea has increased sharply.

"By the way, Jiang Wangchang was escorted to the capital and beheaded for public display."

"Yes!"

In the 12th year of Jingkang, the wind outside Yumen Pass blew to Zhangye.

Chapter 1150 The Battle of Zhangye (Part [-])

The overwhelming rain of arrows fell, impacting the Song Army's formation.

Under the obstruction of the iron armor group and the shield, the bow and arrow failed to quickly break through the Song army's formation.

However, the Uighurs seem to have quite a few bows and arrows.

This is already the No.30 round of strikes.

The Song army's arrows have been exhausted, but the Uighurs still have enough bows and arrows.

But it can also be explained that the Uighurs are nomadic people in the Western Regions, and they started hunting at a very young age.

Archery, especially mounted archery, is the basic skill of hunting.

To Orihiko's surprise, the Uighurs were extremely well prepared.

This is obviously a long-planned military action.

The impact of bows and arrows had a certain impact on the morale of the Song army.

The two sides have been facing each other for an hour, and after a while, they will enter a period of fatigue.

Orihiko looked forward, his face was dignified.

"Aren't you sure how many Uighurs have come?" Orihiko asked.

"General, the landform of Hexi is too vast, and the enemy may appear from any direction in all directions at any time." Wu Bo, who joined the army, said, "However, according to my officer, this may be the only group of Uighurs coming, but it is obviously mixed with A lot of party members."

"The lower officials think so too." Wang Zhi, the vice-joint army officer, said, "Both Suzhou and Guazhou have fallen into the hands of the Uyghurs. The party members there know that Xixia is doomed, so they must have already fallen under the Uyghurs' command."

There was a loud shout of killing in front of him.

After a period of confrontation between the two sides, the main force of the Uighurs had not yet advanced, and the cavalry units took the lead in charging from the two wings.

"Report!" The scout quickly sent news from the front line, "General, Uighur cavalry have iron armor!"

"It's the iron armor of the Xixia people."

The speaker was Fei Tinghu, a party nobleman who was the defender of Liangzhou Prefecture in Xixia.

Zhe Yanzhi attacked Liangzhou, but Fei Tinghu was defeated and surrendered.

Fei Tinghu's choice of words was very particular. When he said that it was the iron armor of the Xixia people, it sounded like he was tacitly thinking that he was no longer from the Xixia people, but from the Song Dynasty.

"How many iron armors does Xixia have in Suzhou and Guazhou?"

Fei Tinghu said, "At least twenty thousand or more."

Wu Bo said: "This is a troublesome matter. The total population of the original Xixia in these two places is [-]. Now I am afraid that all of them will be taken in by the Uighurs and compiled."

While speaking, the Uighur cavalry quickly advanced from the two wings and charged towards the Song Army's infantry.

Seeing this, the cavalry of the Song Army also took action.

Orihiko has a total strength of 5000 troops, half of whom are engaged in logistics, and those who can really go to the battlefield are [-] people, and the total cavalry strength is [-].

His troops were the weakest in the battle against Xia.

This is directly related to the Hexi he attacked. The Xixia people managed the four towns in Hexi, but did not place a large number of soldiers and horses.

Each town has a population of about [-].

After all, the core area of ​​the Xixia people is in the Xitao Plain area of ​​Helan Mountain. The Xixia people are small in size, and it is impossible to use the grain from Hengshan and Xingqingfu to make the Hexi Corridor, which is thousands of miles deep.

Therefore, for Xixia, Hexi is a pasture that can be defended, but it cannot be focused on.

This is the root cause of Xixia's inability to expand to Gaochang Uighurs.

This is also the reason why Zhe Yanzhi's army is not many, and the four towns in Hexi are thousands of miles deep, and the troops of Xixia are scattered, so it is not that the more soldiers the better.
