This delay has further entered a difficult-to-control stage by late August.

The woods were full of treasures. Except for the Liao army sent by Lao Xiao, the poor Liao people saw that the governor of Xiongzhou was dismissed due to policies, and no one was in charge of cutting down trees. So more and more Liao people on the border flocked into the Song Dynasty to obtain edible fungi, wild animals, medicinal materials, etc.

This led to Han Qi cursing and posting a message to bombard the demon king, saying: This situation was caused by his excessive correction and instigating Sima Guang to impeach Zhao Zi.

The Great Demon King responded without showing any weakness: Don’t think about all problems on my head. In fact, Han Dawang himself can’t stand Zhao Zi’s behavior. If Sima Guang doesn’t impeach you, you may not have the ability to evacuate him. But in terms of his IQ, even if he continues to stay in Xiongzhou, he will not be able to solve these problems successfully, right? Han Xiang, if you make a mistake, don’t just blame others. If you use Zhao Zi to solve the Jiehe problem, you will certainly have the mistake of using bad people. If you make mistakes, there will definitely be a corresponding price. What’s so strange about this!

Zhao Zi, who was waiting for a new position in Beijing, couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes: Is it easy for me to be tough once? Even if I don't do it well, I'll just fight with you gods. Is it necessary to extend the problem to my IQ? I'm not stupid, I'm under pressure. The problem of the Zhenhe River has accumulated over time. The inaction of multiple consuls is equivalent to the coldness of three feet of ice that is not a day. In that case, Grand Prime Minister Han angrily declared war on Jiaozhi while using very strict words to instruct me to "strictly deal with the Liao people"? How do I understand it and how can I govern? Is it easy?

However, there was no response to each other in the subsequent period, and the literary war did not escalate. This is because the war officially started in the southwest. Before, the war was declared but not officially started. The Jiaozhi Army just stayed at the border with a very vulgar observation and continued to increase its troops.

However, after Han Qi declared war, the Jiaozhi and Song Kingdom officially entered a state of war, and there was no concept of trampling on the land. The Jiaozhi people were really waiting for signal confirmation. When the conflict in the Korean Strait escalated, the Jurchens began to counterattack the Song Kingdom merchant ships and killed a large number of Song people and expensive assets. Now the Jiaozhi army with a scale of about 20,000 decisively crossed the border and launched two local field battles with the Song Kingdom.

There is no obvious tendency to win or lose, but at present, the imperial guards on Guangnan Road are only more than 10,000. Li Shizhong is cautious and conservative. He fought two tentative fields and found that the Jiaozhi Army has a low combat power and high morale, so he chose to retreat, stationed in Guizhou and Yongzhou respectively, and chose to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Later, the Jiaozhi Army rushed to Hongshui River and removed most of the crossing bridges, which hindered the central Li army's support ability to Yongzhou.

At this point, it was officially announced that the Song Dynasty was in urgent need and was besieged by the Jiaozhi army in a state of declaring war.

When Guangnan's documents arrived in the capital, the great devil king angrily scolded Li Shizhong for making a strategic mistake!

Even Wang Anshi didn't have much temper in this regard. It is true that when the Song State was unable to fight in general, the troops in Li's army were at an absolute disadvantage and did not amplify the mistakes. He only died a few hundred people and chose to wait for reinforcements, which was much better than Chen Shuo then.

But to this day, the political line of the Great Demon may be criticized, but in terms of specific military strategies, no one in the country dares to criticize the Great Demon.

"The mud cannot support the wall!"

Wang Rong murmured to himself, "I didn't understand what kind of tactics Li Shizhong is fighting? I'm afraid of them because they have too many people. Since they can use half of their troops to achieve a clear victory or defeat situation, it is already a good start? This proves that the quality of the Jiaozhi army is not as strong as expected, and the morale of the decisive battle is not as strong as expected. This shows that they all feel that they are incorrect. In this case, why don't they dare to fight to the death? The purpose of trial and error is to test the opponent's reality and choose to fight or not. The result of trial and error in Li Shizhong is "The Song army is not at a disadvantage", so why should we retreat? Doesn't it mean that his trial and error tactic is to take off his pants and fart?"

"He still has not entered the role of military commander and still has a cautious political thinking."

Wang Rong slapped the table in front of Zhao Zongshi and Wang Anshi and said, "It's not that he couldn't figure out the reality. He was using the army of Song Dynasty to achieve his political correctness, which led to the useless trial and error tactics. This is because he retreated without fighting, but he was forced to fight. He was always a literati without such integrity. I understand the mentality of gaining a dominant advantage at the beginning. When Yang Huaiyu and I sat down to play cards, I also wanted to win him to death with the flush from the beginning, but is it realistic?"

"The autumn harvest has just begun. When you don't lose the wind, give up the interests of the wild food, give up the interests of the people, abandon the people, and retreat the army to the city? This is not a military strategy, to put it bluntly, it is a political trick! It is the bureaucratic mentality of not giving up the wrong attitude, and it is the wrong policy guidance of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, letting him know that there are four reinforcements anyway, and he will not lose anyway."

But that's how it ends with complaining. Wang Rong is not the commander in this war, he only has the right to complain and no right to intervene.

In fact, after the declaration of war, the great devil was no longer there and no anti-war. This is what made Wang Anshi and Han Qi and Zhao Zongshi very happy.

Regarding the specific military strategy, the Great Demon King complained that he would not be disgusted. After making Zhao Zongshi and Wang Anshi stunned, he was willing to follow the ideas of the Great Demon King. This thought makes some sense.

Wang Anshi asked while reciting his beard, "What does nymph mean?"

Wang Rong said: "Isn't this very obvious? If you try and make mistakes, you can continue to try without victory or defeat. Dad, you and Han Qi's four-way support to the southwest is absolutely unnecessary. This is the truth that a monk carries water to eat, and two monks carry water to eat. It is not that Li Shizhong can't fight, but that Han Qi puts pressure on him after making a high-profile appearance with high prestige, and gives him a lot of confidence, which leads to him being unwilling to endure hardships. Since he can wait for the support of the four-way reinforcements and military funds, of course he can give up autumn grain, guard the city tightly, and fight a war that will not be defeated."

"But the problem is that this is a waste of resources and an act of being separated from the masses. Although you cannot win, you must run away, you really cannot show off and you cannot destroy the living forces. But without being at a disadvantage, giving up the masses in the wild and giving up autumn grain is an irresponsible behavior of being separated from the masses. What does this make the masses think? The soldiers who serve in the army have imperial food, and the food in the wild are not from Li Shizhong. In the end, as long as you don't lose the war, he will have an official position and wealth. So what about the people? Is this called the soldiers supported by the people? Although this is not an obvious mistake in military affairs, there are serious flaws in political thinking. At least if I am a commoner in Guangnan, I will not trust these troops."

At this point, Wang Yun knocked on the table and asked, "So I'm going to ask, "Will you really win the war without the support of the masses? Even if several armies intervene in high-profile battles, can you be safe and sound? Everyone thought I was a god. To put it bluntly, if the volunteers entered Qingtang, if there was no guerrilla cooperation, how could I fight? I was captured and killed by Zhuo Luolan long ago. The so-called guerrilla tactics are actually the mass line. At any time, they will not be able to fight any war in theory."

"Then it is very simple to obtain the support of the masses, and there is no shortcut to go. First of all, you have to care about their interests. If you treat them well, they will naturally trust you. This is a very simple truth. Now, as an army supported by the common people, he retreated without losing and gave up the large area under his rule. I dare not talk about the consequences, but I dare to say that this is politically incorrect, and it is Han Qi's "two monks' policy of carrying water and eating water."

"How funny. This is the new generation of 'coach ministers' you want to cultivate? Correspondingly, the 500 infantry soldiers, known as waste, were 500 people. Under the command of Chen Ergou, the two frigates were crushed and beaten Jurchen pirates everywhere. What if they wait? Retract like Li Shizhong and wait for the new frigate to serve? Then the engineering ship of my Industrial Department must not be crying? Then the Nagasaki Naval Base still wants to be built?"
