North Song

Chapter 783: Jianchang returned to Song Dynasty

Views:

It is not difficult for Dali soldiers to defeat 1,500 men head-on.

But to wipe out all the 1,500 Dali soldiers and horses without leaving alive, a certain amount of force is required, and some careful deployment is also required.

The above two points are not what ordinary bandits and gangsters can do.

Bandits and gangsters who can do it cannot be entrenched in Dali.

Even if you are entrenched in Dali, it is impossible to be unknown.

And on each hill in Dali, there are some small tribes entrenched.

Bandits and gangsters have no ground for survival, so there are no large-scale bandits and gangsters in Dali.

There are a lot of little thieves, but even if they gather together, it is difficult to threaten Dali's regular soldiers.

"Is it really possible that you are making a ghost behind?!"

Zhong Shiheng stared at Yang Yunxian coldly.

Yang Yunxian wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and defended: "My king absolutely dare not offend His Majesty the Song Emperor."

Zhong Shiheng said coldly: "Is there any offense? You know in your heart."

"What else to tell him? They must be behind the scenes in this matter. We should send troops to fight it now."

Zhu Neng eagerly said.

Yang Yunxian gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is definitely not the work of my king. If your country violates my Dali again, I will definitely fight back."

When Zhu Neng heard this, he was annoyed, "You can try!"

Zhong Shiheng raised his hand to stop Zhu Neng from getting angry. "At the moment we have no evidence to prove that this matter was done by Dali soldiers, so we can't act rashly and undermine the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Humph!"

Zhu Neng snorted and didn't speak any more.

Zhong Shiheng looked at Yang Yunxian and said coldly: "I will give you time to find out this matter. If this matter is not the work of your Dali soldiers, you have sent me the money to compensate Da Song on time. It can be assumed that it never happened.

But if you find out that this is the work of your Dali soldiers, then you can only see each other.

I must not be insulted by Song Dynasty officials. "

Yang Yunxian wiped the sweat on his forehead and gave a solemn salute to Chong Shiheng.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Zhong Shiheng waved his hand, "I also wanted to avoid meeting each other."

Just after Zhong Shiheng said this, a soldier in front of the tent suddenly hurried into the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Enlighten the handsome, there is news from the scout camp."

The soldiers in front of the tent entered the Chinese army’s tent, fell on one knee and reported in a deep voice.

Zhong Shiheng looked straight, and said, "Speak!"

The guards in front of the account handed their hands: "The scouts in the scout camp caught a person who had escaped from Manadian. After cross-examination, they learned that the previous robbery in Manadian was the work of a Dali soldier."

Speaking of this, the soldiers in front of the account paused and glanced at Yang Yunxian slightly.

Yang Yunxian's face turned pale.

The guards in front of the tent continued to preach: "People who fled from Manardian said that after the robbery, many corpses were left in the place where the robbery occurred. Some of them were wearing leather armor and some were wearing cloth armor. The exceptions are all from Dali."

Yang Yunxian's face changed again.

Chong Shiheng's face was pale, he stared at Yang Yunxian and gritted his teeth: "I think... Dali County King probably wouldn't send two soldiers and horses to escort those wealth."

Zhu Neng said coldly from the side: "Almost all soldiers and horses in Dali Capital City wear leather armor. Only local soldiers and horses wear cloth armor. Among the soldiers and horses sent from Dali Capital City to escort those wealth, absolutely nothing Maybe some wear cloth armor."

Zhong Shiheng suddenly shouted: "I consider you a friend and choose to believe your words, but you have concealed such important news. You are not only insulting my Dasong officials, but you are also insulting me."

"This matter..."

Yang Yunxian wanted to explain.

Zhong Shiheng thought about his words coldly, "As of now, there is nothing to say. If you dare to insult my Da Song officials, and dare to insult me, then do your best to bear the price of my Da Song's anger."

"Zhu Neng!"

"in!"

"Order the entire army of the Tianwu Army to attack, and the sword will point to Jianchang Mansion City!"

"understand!"

"..."

Zhu Neng happily agreed and went out to dispatch troops.

After Zhu Neng left, Zhong Shiheng took up the sword and longbow, followed by the Chinese army's big account.

Before leaving, he snorted at Yang Yunxian and said, "Go back and tell the Dali County King that after I have taken the Jianchang Mansion, I will play the court and ask the court to send troops and horses to help Dali.

Let him wash his head and wait. "

Yang Yunxian stared in horror and opened his mouth several times without saying a word.

Zhong Shiheng had a big account of the Chinese army.

Zhu Neng has gathered all the soldiers of the Tianwu Army.

In order to attack Jianchang Mansion, they prepared for a long time.

How to march, how to divide the troops, and how to break the Jianchang Mansion City has already gone through countless consultations.

Now that the city of Jianchang Mansion is officially attacked, the Tianwu army doesn't need to think much at all, just act according to the plan.

"Today, Po Jianchang!"

Chong Shiheng stood on the stage and drew his long sword, pointing at Jianchang Mansion.

The generals of the Tianwu Army threw out like a tide.

Zhong Shiheng suddenly sent his troops, and the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion did not expect or prepare at all.

When the Tianwu Army was about to reach the city of Jianchang Mansion, the head of Jianchang Mansion got the news.

The lord of Jianchang Mansion hurriedly summoned the soldiers and horses inside and outside Jianchang Mansion and climbed to the top of the city to defend the city.

At the same time, people were sent to ask for help from the three largest False Hatred Ministry, Wudeng Tribe, and Luolan Tribe in Jianchang Mansion.

When Zhong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses to the bottom of Jianchang Mansion, the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion reluctantly arranged the defense on the front of the city.

however.

Vulnerable.

Eighteen artillery guns were fired, and after the gates of Jianchang Mansion were collapsed, the soldiers and horses on the walls of Jianchang Mansion became a mess.

Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng thought there was a fierce battle to be fought, but after seeing the chaos on the walls of Jianchang Mansion after a round of shelling, they suddenly lost interest in Jianchang Mansion.

Before they attacked Jianchangfufucheng, they investigated the situation of Jianchangfufucheng.

Knowing that Jianchang Mansion is famous and weak, so it hasn't been beaten.

It's just that I didn't expect to be so casual.

"Dali is really..."

Zhong Shiheng looked at the chaotic enemy soldier, not knowing how to evaluate it.

All of Jianchang Mansion is so unattended, the Tianwu Army is strong, and its proportion is not large.

The largest proportion is Dali's system.

Although Dali has divided counties and prefectures, the largest force entrenched in prefectures and prefectures is 37 ministries, and 37 ministries are not under the control of prefectures and prefectures.

Almost all thirty-seven are autonomous.

It's a bit like the thirty-seven princes entrenched in Dali.

There are three large tribes in Jianchang Mansion, occupying nearly 60% of the territory of Jianchang Mansion and controlling nearly 60% of the population in Jianchang Mansion.

The three major tribes have more power to speak in Jianchang Mansion than in Jianchang Mansion.

The palace lord of Jianchang Mansion only held six small tribes that had completely attached themselves to the Dali court.

There is no way to compare with the three tribes.

Among the six small tribes controlled by the palace lord of Jianchang Mansion, four have been conquered by Chong Shiheng, so the power he can mobilize is only two small tribes and some soldiers and horses in the city of Jianchang Mansion.

With such strength, naturally there is no way to compete with the Tianwu Army led by Chong Shiheng.

Not only that, the soldiers and horses in Jianchang Mansion have not much combat effectiveness.

Because they seldom participated in wars and hadn't experienced many battles, they only needed to guard Jianchang Mansion City on weekdays.

Generally, there is a big battle in Dali, and they are not used.

The Dali court will give orders to the leaders of the 37 tribes, ordering them to lead the clan soldiers and make up a huge number of 37 coalition forces to defend against the enemy.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses of Jianchang Mansion City are a bit like garrisons in the Great Song Dynasty. They are okay to block a bandit, and they are simply hard to resist in the face of a powerful enemy.

Zhong Shiheng led his troops to Jianchang Mansion City, and it took three hours to conquer Jianchang Mansion City.

Three hours later, Zhong Shiheng had entered the Jianchang Mansion City, sat in the lobby on the mansion's mansion, and began a new round of formations.

It is easy for Jianchang Mansion to be broken, but it is hard to say whether it can be defended.

After all, there are three large tribes to the north of Jianchang Fu, Huichuan Fu is adjacent to the south, and Shanju County, the largest county in Dali, to the west.

Encountered on three sides, we have to guard against.

After a round of negotiations, Zong Shiheng finally sent Zhu Neng led 20,000 soldiers and horses to march northward to conquer the three tribes north of Jianchang Mansion.

The general of the Tianwu Army led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and went south to the Qubu, Batui and other places in Jianchang Mansion.

Chong Shiheng led the remaining soldiers and horses, while sitting in Jianchang Mansion City, by the way, he cleared the two places west of Jianchang Mansion City, Shacheng and Shacheng.

Of the three soldiers and horses, the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng are undoubtedly the most under pressure.

What he has to deal with is the three tribes in Jianchang Mansion.

The three tribes are very powerful, and the tribes are very united.

What Zhu Neng had to deal with was not only the soldiers of the three tribes, but also the old and weak women and children of the three tribes.

It is not a rare occurrence in Dali's thirty-seven books that the old and the weak, women and children go together.

The Thirty-Seven Tribes can maintain their tribal system under Dali's rule because they are united and desperate enough.

The emperors of Dali before this also thought about destroying thirty-seven parts and putting all the land in Dali under the control of the Dali court.

To this end, they sent a large army to pacify the tribes.

Then he touched a hard nail.

When the army of fifty thousand to defeat all tribes went out of the capital of Dali and attacked a small tribe with only 6,000 people, they were frightened by the desperate way of fighting by all the people of all ages.

The six thousand people of the small tribe had no survivors after the war.

However, the 50,000 troops sent by the Dali court to quell all tribes also suffered heavy losses.

After the small tribes were destroyed, the other tribes gathered together to put pressure on the Dali emperor.

The emperor of Dali was forced to give up the idea of annihilating the tribes.

And no one mentioned it again.

It can be seen that if people from the three tribes work hard with Zhu Neng, Zhu Neng may not be able to negotiate well.

In order to prevent Zhu Neng from encountering an unfailingly powerful enemy, before he attacked Jianchang Mansion, Chong Shiheng sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to dispatch troops and horses from Jiading Prefecture, Chuan Prefecture, and all places in the two provinces. To Lizhou Hanyuan on Chuanfu Road.

Lizhou Hanyuan is close to Dali's Humiliation Ministry, and can rush to help Zhu Neng at any time and cooperate with Zhu Neng to attack the three tribes in Jianchang Mansion on both sides.

When Zhu Neng led the troops to leave the city of Jianchang Mansion, the local soldiers and horses of Chuan Mansion and Jiading Mansion had already arrived at Hanyuan, Lizhou.

After that, there was a fierce battle that lasted nearly ten days.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng must completely take down the entire Jianchang Mansion before Dali can react.

In the fierce battle that lasted for nearly ten days, Zhu Neng really encountered some small troubles.

It was not the three tribes in Jianchang Mansion that caused Zhu Neng's troubles, but a Baosai tribe attached to the Luolan tribe.

A small tribe of 3,000 people, taking advantage of the terrain, fought fiercely with the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng for three full days.

Zhu Neng finally took advantage of the firearms to annihilate them.

After that war, the Security Department went up and down, and no one survived.

It was not that Zhu Neng killed them, but none of them surrendered.

Zhu Neng conquered the Security Department, and they died.

On the third day that the city of Jianchang Mansion was breached, the news had reached Dali County King Duan Suzhen's ears.

After learning of this, Duan Suzhen dispatched Gao Zhisheng to dispatch 37 soldiers and horses, rushed to the Huichuan Ministry below the Song Army, and dispatched Yang Yunxian to the Jianchang Fucheng to negotiate with Chong Shiheng.

Gao Zhisheng summoned nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived at the time of Huichuan Mansion.

Yang Yunxian had already negotiated with Chong Shiheng, and at the same time Chong Shiheng had taken the entire Jianchang Mansion.

The result of the negotiations between Yang Yunxian and Chong Shiheng was simple.

Dali must once again send envoys to Bianjing City to plead guilty to Zhao Zhen.

Dali County King Duan Suzhen was unwilling to start a big battle with Song Dynasty. While instructing Gao Zhisheng not to act without authorization, he dispatched Yang Yunxian to Bianjing again.

When Yang Yunxian rushed to Bianjing City.

Kou Ji has received the results of the war in Jianchang Mansion.

Inside Shishi Hall.

Kou Ji held the memorial report sent by Chong Shiheng and said: "Chong Shiheng actually sent troops to take down the three tribes in Jianchang Mansion. This move is somewhat similar to the combat strategy I originally formulated. In and out."

Kou Ji's initial combat strategy was that after taking the Jianchang Mansion, he would not move and wait for Dali to send someone to negotiate.

But now, Chong Shiheng had not waited for Dali to send people to negotiate, he had conquered the three tribes first.

Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's words and glanced at Kou Ji, not wanting to ignore him.

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji and said, "Without your permission, would Zhu Neng and Zhong Shiheng dare to mess around?"

Kou Ji said sincerely: "I have never approved of this from beginning to end."

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji again, just about to speak.

But Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "This matter was approved by me."

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief.

Zhao Zhen passed Kou Ji and directly issued a military order to Chong Shiheng

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen added a sentence: "I had discussed with my fourth brother before ensuing the matter. Although my fourth brother did not approve of this matter, he did not oppose it either."

After Zhao Zhen's voice landed, Kou Ji opened his mouth and said: "A strong attack on the three tribes in Jianchang Mansion will inevitably cause some damage. I don't agree with this, because I want to reduce the damage.

However, the officials felt that since they had taken the Jianchang Mansion City, they would simply clean up the three tribes together.

Keeping the three tribes, they will definitely make monsters behind us when we are negotiating with Dali.

It is easy for Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to suffer from enemies.

Therefore, this dangerous sign was strangled in the cradle in advance. "

After Kou Ji's explanation, the three of Lu Yijian also understood the reason.

Immediately, the three of Lu Yijian praised Zhao Zhen.

"Official Shengming..."

"Official Shengming..."

"..."

In fact, it is only a trivial matter whether to fight the three tribes.

Kou Ji also said casually that the three of Lu Yijian could discuss this matter as a major event, and Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

After the three of Lu Yijian praised Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji slowly spoke, "The envoy from Dali should soon arrive in Bianjing to negotiate with us about Jianchang Mansion.

Whether Jianchang Mansion can be included in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty depends on the result of this negotiation. "

Wang Zeng solemnly said: "Naturally, we will not let go. We are afraid that the Dali County King will not agree to this matter, and we will send soldiers to fight with me in the Song Dynasty."

Kou Ji squinted slightly and said, "The Dali Prince has not that courage yet."

Lu Yijian asked, "Does he really have the courage?"

Kou Ji said coldly: "Then it is necessary for me, Da Song, to send another fifty thousand forbidden troops to let them know what the celestial state is."

"One hundred thousand forbidden troops can take the entire Dali?"

Wang had doubts.

Kou Ji said: "More than enough."

Wang Zeng nodded slowly, and said no more.

As long as Kou Ji can guarantee that 100,000 soldiers can win Dali.

He was afraid that a hundred thousand soldiers would not be able to win Dali, so he planted somersaults in Dali.

It was like this when Zhao Guangyi attacked Jiaozhi.

The then Zhiyongzhou Taichang Doctor Hou Renbao heard of the internal strife in Jiaozhi and asked Zhao Guangyi to take the opportunity to quell Jiaozhi. Zhao Guangyi obeyed Hou Renbao's words and dispatched Hou Renbao as the commander. He led a 100,000 army to attack Jiaozhi.

In the end, I had a big somersault.

Hou Renbao was beheaded, and half of the 100,000 army was buried in Jiaozhi.

With this precedent, Wang Zeng naturally needs to ask clearly.

"Since I, Da Song, don't need to worry about Dali facing us tit-for-tat, when facing Dali envoys, we don't need to make any concessions."

Lu Yijian looked around at the people.

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a while and said, "Leave it to Zhang Aiqing and the people from Hongyu Temple to negotiate."

It is a matter of territory, so a heavy minister must be sent to participate.

After Zhang Zhibai heard what Zhao Zhen said, he agreed.

After the matter is agreed.

A few people stopped paying attention to this matter.

After some days, the envoy from Dali arrived in Bianjing.

Zhang Zhibai took the people from Honghe Temple and negotiated with Dali envoy Yang Yunxian for ten days.

Da Song insisted that Dali cede Jianchang Mansion. Dali would rather compensate for more money than Jianchang Mansion.

The two sides wrangled for several days.

Eventually Dali envoy Yang Yunxian was defeated.

Zhang Zhibai knew that Song had the strength to conquer Dali in one fell swoop, so he was confident and refused to yield.

Yang Yunxian can't be as confident as Zhang Zhibai, and refuse to give in.

Chong Shiheng led fifty thousand soldiers in Jianchang Mansion, and he was able to attack Dali's Huichuan Mansion, Dongchuan Mansion, and Shanju County at any time.

Dali was restless up and down.

Dali did not have the courage to compete with Song Yijiao.

In order to settle the matter as soon as possible, Yang Yunxian can only make concessions.

Yang Yunxian finally agreed to report the incident to Dali County King Duan Suzhen, and Dali County King Duan Suzhen made the decision.

Yang Yunxian did not return to Dali to explain the matter.

Instead, he sent someone back to tell Dali County King Duan Suzhen about the matter.

Dali County King Duan Suzhen learned that Song Dynasty had asked Dali to cede Jianchang Mansion, so he ran to the temple and consulted several elders who had abdicated as monks.

In the end, he agreed to Da Song's terms and ceded Jianchang Mansion to Da Song to quell the conflict between the two countries.

Zhao Zhen sent Zhang Zhibai to Jianchang Mansion and signed the letter of credence with the royal family member of the Duan clan sent by Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County.

Since then.

Jianchang Mansion was returned to the Song Dynasty, and the war in Dali came to an end for the time being.

After Jianchang Mansion was returned to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen immediately posted the news to all the people in the Song Dynasty.

The people of the Song Dynasty learned that after seeing the court’s newspaper, the court had taken the Jianchang Mansion in Dali without knowing it.

While rejoicing, they are faintly proud of the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the joy of the people.

Zhao Zhen welcomed his third child.

After Empress Cao was pregnant with the dragon for nine months, the signs of giving birth appeared.

Three times he was carried into the delivery room, and three times he was carried out again.

He really abused Zhao Zhen's small heart.

Zhao Zhen felt that it was difficult for him to endure this kind of pain alone, so he sent Chen Lin to Kou's mansion and dragged Kou Jisheng into the palace to accompany him.

Royal palace.

Inside Yanfu Palace.

Inside the spacious palace.

Only Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen, and Chen Lin were inside.

Zhao Zhen invited Kou Ji to accompany him to play chess, but just sat in front of the chessboard and pinched the chess piece. After playing two hands, he held the chess piece and stopped moving.

Kou Ji put down the black chess piece in his hand, glanced at Zhao Zhen, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Zhao Zhen suddenly fell into a daze in front of him, not once or twice.

At the beginning, Kou Ji also called out a few words to wake up Zhao Zhen.

Now, Kou Ji is too lazy to wake Zhao Zhen again.

After Kou Ji sighed, he glanced at the cold tea on hand.

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji. Kou Ji's teacup was raised up and out of Yanfu Palace. Not long after, she held a cup of hot tea and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took a sip of the teacup and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Lin and asked, "Who told the official that the prince's belly is in the belly of Queen Cao?"

Chen Lin knocked on Zhao Zhen, and saw Zhao Zhen still sitting in a daze, so she whispered to Kou Ji: "The people of Qin Tianjian said..."

Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "You can believe what the Qin Tianjian said? They first said that Zhang Xiurong was carrying a prince, but after he was born, he was a princess.

Later, it was said that Zhang Jieyu was also carrying the prince.

Then another princess was born.

Now it is said that Empress Cao is carrying the prince..."

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Chen Lin interrupted him and said very hard: "Queen Cao must be the prince!"

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Do you think that the harem concubine can't give birth to a prince, is it possible that the people of the Qin Tianjian have done something wicked and offended God."

So God always reversed their words

If the harem concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed, let them say in reverse, will it be miraculous? "

Chen Lin was taken aback, and actually thought about Kou Ji's words.
