Chapter 594 The Last Knight: The Return of the God of War
On November 29, there was heavy snow in Bianjing!
From Qingtang Battle Report: Huangzhou, which gathered the defense of 68 field battalions of the Song army, officially fell, and the battle was damaged by 20% and then collapsed between the ice and snow, and was divided and disappeared from each other.
This also officially announced that the Qingyi Jieguizhang tribe and the Song army's "satellite reflecting" were broken up. In the helplessness of the snow and ice, the Xixia army sent troops to set up their troops seemed to be in vain, Qingyi Jieguizhang had to continue to go north and retreat to the distant Xiliang Prefecture to defend.
This is equivalent to the official emergency of Qingtang Fortress, because Qingtang City has almost no armed forces and has officially become an empty city.
At this moment, the Great Demon King has no power to complain about their pig tactics.
Since we have reached this point, we cannot blame Qingyi Ghost Chain for not daring to fight. Because of the actions of the army, the coverage of ice and snow, and the maintenance of supplies became the biggest problem during Qingyi Ghost Chain for this period.
If Wang Rong was the one who did not dare to take the risk of breaking through the siege in Xining Prefecture. Because once the breakout failed, the army's mobility was slow and there was no food and grass, and the Qingyi Ghost Mark General even lost the opportunity to defend Xiliang Prefecture.
So now it's really passive!
The command and deployment at the beginning were wrong, and they all existed and depended on each other. This is the truth that Wang Rong said: After becoming a playboy, he forgot to rely on himself. At that time, not only was there a powerful main force of the Song Dynasty garrison, but Qingyi Jieguizhang also held ten thousand cavalry.
There are 10,000 cavalrymen, and it is difficult to only let him lead a thousand people to attack. So I happened to buy a Cayenne to go out and show off. My family said, "You should ride an electric bike out." That must be an anxious thing for him.
There is an error at the beginning, but it will be a step-by-step error in the subsequent process.
It seems that the Western Xia tactics are quite strange now. They did not attack Xiliang Prefecture, which had weak defenses, recovered its inherent lost ground from the beginning. Instead, they used the surprise weapon tactics to quickly cut into the central area of Qingtang, and attacked the Huangzhou area, which was defended by 80 field battalions of the Song army, to carry out hard work.
This is quite effective and beyond everyone's expectations. So although he is an unknown young commander, the Great Demon King is sure that this is from Zhuo Luolan's tactic guidance.
Why did Zhuo Luolan not bring his troops into Qingtang Dalian? But one thing is certain: if she cannot fight the war, she will try her best to make the most favorable plan for the Western Xia army.
She is a student of the Great Demon King. In this first battle in Qingtang, her intention was the same as that of Dalian's attack on Suzhou Port of Liao Kingdom at that time. Don't go around. Since hatred is inevitable, the Song army is just a paper tiger. Don't be cowardly. Go over and slapp the tiger hard. Depending on the situation, if the tiger's reaction is limited, then raise the bet and stab the tiger to death.
This is a deterrent tactic. This is the same as the rumor in the movie "I look for the ruthless boss to beat him up after going to prison."
After the Qingtang War commanded by the arrogant devil, no matter which number is the Song army in Qingtang, it is a symbol of the tiger. Zhuo Luolan Sword deployed this tactic by taking a wrong step. After the first strike allowed the Western Xia army to win the battle of Zongcheng and Tonghuang, it was no surprise that the entire Qingtang was trapped by the tiger, and even the Song army itself was confused? Because they could not figure out why the tiger was slapped?
At this point, the defeated Xixia army that year also successfully walked out of the shadow.
It is precisely because of this that Qingyi Jieguizhang was intimidated to retreat to the north. Otherwise, he was a cavalry after all. After the Song army lost in Zongcheng and Tonghuang, the theoretically Qingyi Jieguizhang had enough maneuverability to counterattack, so wouldn't it cause the fall of Huangzhou so quickly?
So these layouts are a big trap, all of which are psychological warfares in Zhuo Luolan's deployment.
She also successfully limited the Qingyi Ghost Chain to the pocket of the north. If nothing unexpected happens, the second purpose of the Xixia Army was to close the door and fight the dog, and eat the "Qingyi Ghost Chain that I chose to lock in the castle". Then there is basically no need to fight the war behind Qingtang. The Song army of Qingtang's faith has been defeated. Qingtang's own main force was successfully captured by someone, of course, because of the collapse of confidence.
In a world war, it is actually no problem to lose tens of thousands of people. What worries the great devil is that if Qingtang falls so quickly, it means that Xixia has the confidence and depth to quickly accumulate the courage to formally invade the administrative region of the Song Dynasty, which is the situation of pills.
Unfortunately...helpless...he is angry that he will not fight...
The only advantageous point is that Han Qi accepted part of it earlier and had already published a document in advance: The Zhong family army did not enter Hedong, but instead entered Qingtang to participate in the war!
This may be the last life-saving straw for Qingtang! Qingtang will not fall completely for a day, so as long as there is no final say in the Song Dynasty, the administrative region of the Song Dynasty should not be attacked, and there will be some breathing.
But General Zhong E is also a very conservative person. He mobilized countless shipping resources earlier and bypassed the frontal war zone. Now he has just entered the Xining Prefecture area from Jishi Army and has not yet entered Qingtang City.
It seems that General Zhonghe judged that the Eastern Front would not be able to win, so he deliberately slowed down before entering Qingtang, intending to help Dong Wen defend Xining Prefecture and take action after this cold winter.
This idea is incomplete, but the sequelae is also very serious. This may lead to the complete annihilation of Qingyi Ghost Chain, further destroying Qingtang's overall morale.
But Wang Rong has no better way now. What kind of tactics to adopt depends on whom. Since ancient times, the Zhong Family Army has been good at fortress defense tactics. The army of Hubei planted is very large in scale and lacks cavalry, so this is the characteristic of Hubei planting. This is almost the more suitable tactics he can use under the current conditions.
Zhong E was neither Di Qing nor Wang Rong. His thinking model, the size of the army, and the lack of cavalry made it impossible for him to adopt the path of the great devil at that time: to directly enter the Huangzhou area for tough work.
If it weren't for the problems in the court, they would have directly deployed Hubei to defend themselves in Huangzhou, and they would not have been as passive as they are now.
Unfortunately, the garrison in Qingtang was considered a "foreign affairs", and Sima Guang was disgusted with this hooligan. In the early days, Wang Rong did not trust planting Hubei. The old breed was really cruel. Unless he predicted that he would fight soon, he would put such a person in Qingtang to garrison. He was not gentle to his Han people. God knows how he would abuse the Qiang people and cause conflicts?
So nothing new happened. The reason why planting Hubei was not deployed in Qingtang was that it was politically incorrect.
As for the later stage, unfortunately, Wang Rong himself said nothing, so he could not adjust these policies...
It is even colder in mid-December, and the weather is cold and people's hearts are also cold.
While fires were everywhere, the first army of the Liao Kingdom was also assembled. It was divided into seven armies and marched to sensitive areas of the Song-Liao border, with a total of 360,000 troops.
This is only the first issue, and many people think that there will be more and more follow-ups.
Correspondingly, a few months ago, Han Qi said that he wanted to "respond to the Liao Dynasty's dispatch of troops and generals", but after a few months of circles, he worked in vain. There was not much Song army in Hebei's territory. In addition to losing some credibility, the Sichuan Army and the Western Army were all over the place, it seemed very different.
This is the real pill atmosphere of the Song Dynasty: the world is shocked! Four million people in Bianjing have entered a panic mentality!
The Song Dynasty officially announced that it had entered the Darkest Time 4.0, and there were even many people in the court, and many people mentioned the issue of moving the capital to avoid disasters.
Although it was not the atmosphere of the whole country's blood before, they were all numbing the rise of their own great powers. It was an internal act of Liao's dispatch of troops and generals and would not go to the border.
But now, the tiger is really coming, right at the doorstep!
Some people predict that the battle might start in spring. Some people think that the war might start in the Song and Liao dynasties during the cold winter.
"The great Song Dynasty, which has many disasters and difficulties, has never expected that the good situation will be like this in a few years. Will it calm down like Chanyuan this time?"
"If I want me to say that it's all like this, if I die, the Song Dynasty might as well take the initiative to attack in the twelfth lunar month and prevent them from preparing."
"Your head was kicked by a donkey, and the time to take the initiative to attack had long been missed. There is a rumor that the Great Demon King had made a remark when the Liao Kingdom sounded the assembly call in Shangjing at a high profile: the Song army quickly attacked, and before they were ready to complete, they quickly smuggled the most prosperous areas of the Liao Kingdom such as Datong Prefecture in Nanjing Road, disrupting their assembly call plan."
"Yes, I heard of this rumor, but these rumors were harmonious at that time. If Han Dawang talked nonsense again, he would check the water meter."
"The Great Demon King is the Great Demon King. He made mistakes, but only he can be unconscious at critical moments. If it were his priest at the beginning, why would he drag my Song Dynasty to this point?"
"It's too late to say this now. The disaster is coming. If you have no land or industry, go to the south to avoid disaster."
"The south is even more chaotic now. The clans and cult leaders have made their brains known to each other, and the weak people suffer. Now there is quite an exaggeration. If you are not familiar with the place, you will believe you harmoniously or not."
"It makes sense. As long as the Great Devil is here and stay here, there will be hope to finally see the sunrise."
"Big Demon King! Big Demon King!"
"The Great Devil...The Great Devil..."
At this point, it is really not inciting someone. The past prestige determines that the disaster is coming. Now, more and more people raise their hands like parades and shout "The Great Devil" and demand that the divine machine be used again to lead the Song Dynasty through this difficult time.
During this period, Zhang Fangping also thought that the great devil was hateful. But there was nothing wrong with it. When it was useful as a capable minister, he could just use it. At worst, he could just cross the river and knock him away. So as a stay in Tokyo, Zhang Fangping absolutely opposed moving the capital. If he let the first row do whatever he wanted, Lao Zhang believed that the country would be destroyed.
As a result, Zhang Fangping let the people go without banning the march of the masses. On the contrary, he used the reputation of the government to fuel the fire and encourage the people's behavior.
The Liao Kingdom’s behavior of placing more than 300,000 soldiers on the border was so irritating to everyone’s nerves. The fear of the whole country is spreading like a virus expanding!
No matter how many mistakes the Great Demon King is, no matter how hateful the Great Demon King is, his past qualifications determine the critical moment, from the powerful to the civilians, they are willing to accept some strict control. Now they almost agree in unison: the emperor is no longer able to be in charge of the ministers, the prince is not experienced enough, and Han Qi's policy has a continuity strategic mistake. At this darkest moment, the Great Demon King must be ordered to lead the Song Dynasty out of the darkness.
This was the largest parade in the history of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Fangping did not take action to maintain stability until the third day. Nearly 300,000 people gathered in Donghuamen and tens of thousands of petitions: demanding that the great devil come back.
This sound is amazing and shocking!
It doesn't matter whether the great devil's comeback can lead the Song Dynasty out of the darkness, but now that the people in the southeast are already in chaos, Bianjing is also in this situation. Fu Bi is careful that if he suppresses it at this time and discusses moving the capital again, there will probably be chaos within the capital.
As he had no choice but to go, Fu Bi, who had not spoken for a long time, went to the Shufu to brief Han Qi and said simply and bluntly: "Supermi Han, this won't work. I will retreat all of you, can you give up the way?"
This made Zhao Zongshi half open his mouth. It was hard to imagine that Fu Bi could make such a request one day?
This has given Han Qi a lot of room and a step forward. For this reason, Fu Bi is willing to "retreat all", which is actually giving Han Qi a buffer so that Han Qi can have a face-saving position for a period of time, so as not to create a situation where he "resigns from his job" and denies his life.
Now, it looks like the hair behind the good water tank is half white. Han Qi is now completely white. His eyes are red and he thinks for a long time and sighs: "How can I still have the same face as me? He is smarter than me in his plan, his prestige is better than me, his decisions are more decisive than me, and his work is more capable than me... He has a lot of wings, so he should come out to do things. I should also withdraw."
Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "It's not wrong in general, but he still has problems and is still arrogant. He should leave some old guys to watch him, otherwise I won't feel at ease if you don't feel at ease, even the government will not feel at ease."
Zhao Zongshi was silent about this.
Han Qi reluctantly nodded in response. Han Qi's heart was really distracted, and he couldn't do anything even if he stayed here.
In his early years, everyone's evaluation of him was correct. Han Da Naoke really loved Da Song. No matter how strong his resentment towards the Great Demon King was, he would not joke about the issue of life and death...
On January 1, Fu Bi, as the Minister of the Secretariat, asked Empress Cao to come out to participate in the resolution.
This must be a day that will be recorded in history. At the "Renming Palace Conference" that determines the fate of the Song Dynasty, when the emperor was unable to take charge of the board of directors, Zhang Fangping, left-behind Tokyo, participated in the supervision throughout the whole process, and officially set the tone: the position of Prince Zhao Zongshi was removed from the position of supervising the country, and Empress Cao temporarily took it.
Resolution 2 of the Renming Palace Conference: This is indeed the end of the crisis. In response to the suggestions of the people and court officials, Wang Rong was appointed as the prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty's military and national peace affairs, and also the Privy Council.
Resolution 3 of the Renming Palace Conference: Rejected Han Qi's request for retirement. During the national crisis, Han Qi was forced to continue serving the country. He made achievements in Hedong's people's livelihood and economic policies that year and served as the commander of the Third Division in charge of wartime economy, but was subject to the control of military, national and national affairs.
Resolution 4 of the Renming Palace Conference: Ouyang amended to serve as Guangdong's pacification envoy and immediately left Beijing to educate the people of the south. Han Jiang filled the vacancy and became the chief censor.
Resolution 5 of the Renming Palace Conference: Fu Bi was not in office as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, so he set out to Daming Prefecture, and appointed Daming Prefecture as the capital of Hebei, but he did not have military command.
Resolution 6 of the Renming Palace Conference: No deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor was appointed for the time being. Wang Anshi was appointed as the "Presidential Officer of the Government" and presided over the daily work of the Secretary of the Central Committee.
There were many disputes during the two-day meeting, but overall consensus was obtained. It was only the last sixth resolution, and there was objection to Wang Anshi's work arrangements. The objection was Wang Anshi himself.
More than a dozen clerks from different party departments who participated in the meeting record remembered that Wang Anshi said with a little vicissitudes of life at that time: "At this moment, it is not that the minister shirks responsibility, but that the minister cannot continue to serve. Besides, his position must be planned. If his personality sees something, he must say that as a father, he will be subordinate to his son, and there will inevitably be embarrassment in relationships. If there is a dispute over policy issues at critical moments, there will be serious hidden dangers in politics, human nature, and national security. Since the son is enabled rather than a minister, I will decide to retire and ask the Empress to approve his resignation."
Many remarks have been made to keep Wang Anshi, but after many disputes, Wang Anshi did not give in. This sets the tone: no political affairs of the magistrate, in principle, Wang Anshi retains his official title and temporarily retires. The great devil presides over the state affairs during the war period.
The military and national peace are the highest honorary position in the Song Dynasty, but generally only in theory and will not become a practical position. During the war of the People's Republic of China, Wang Rong also appointed this position and was also a ruling of the Privy Council. He was not a Privy Council, and did not participate in politics. There is only one explanation: Gan Gang was arbitrary, and even surpassed Emperor Taizu's peak of power.
From the fifth year of Huangyou to the eighth year of Jiayou, the eleventh spring breeze and autumn rain have officially created the political golden body of the great devil. They have concentrated their power in an unprecedented peak state. After the second half of the cold, they were ordered to make a comeback in the face of danger...
