Chapter 353 Mo Ming's Punishment

But this is just an idea. If Zhao Kuangyi dies, it will be useless to raise it, and no one will even listen to it.

It is said that Zhao Kuangyi will not die, but God knows.

Song Jiu did not believe that this history was completely consistent with the history of his previous life.

This is the case, because although the battle of Song Jiu was very similar to the Battle of Gaoliang River in his previous life, it also had differences. The military changes promoted by Song Jiu, such as the high pension and reward system, had a slightly higher morale than in his previous life. Advanced weapons, sufficient steel, and an elimination, the combat effectiveness of the army was also slightly higher.

So it brings a series of changes.

For example, Yelu Xiuge risked his life to rush towards Zhao Kuangyi. He was shot in the previous life because he was seriously injured and could not ride, so he chased Zhuozhou lightly and asked his left and right to command. However, in this life, because the bow and arrow were sharper, he directly fell into a coma, so the death rate of the Song army in this life was also declining.

For example, in the previous life, Zhao Kuangyi fled to Jintaitun, and the generals fled back to Zhuozhou. The envoy Yan Chenghan reported that he would return to the army and collapsed. So he asked Cui Han to go to pacify him, and the people decided to settle it. However, in this life, Zhao Kuangyi sent Cui Han to recruit him, and it was decided to settle it in Zhuozhou.

This is a good change brought by Song Jiu, but Song Jiu is worried about bad changes brought by Song Jiu.

He was perfecting his thoughts and the sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, Song Jiu still came to the city.

The weather is very good on this day, and the stars are bright at night. On a misty night, the stars in the sky are like dreams. He stared at the northeast direction and was not far from Zhuozhou to Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom. If he had been driving for only a few hours in his previous life, he would have been driving for only a few hours, but now he is like a world away.

It was already late at night, and there were few mosquitoes in the north. The night wind was cool. Song Jiu hugged his head and leaned against the city wall and half asleep. However, no one dared to disturb him. Everyone knew that the slaughterer attached great importance to his life. After the construction of the new city of Taiyuan, some stubborn people were unwilling to leave. The soldiers were anxious and prepared to set fire. Song Jiu stopped the soldiers, and then sent a large army to force the people to tie them up one by one, and then sent soldiers to search from house to house. After finding that there was no one, the army destroyed the city.

Even though the generals knew that they could not do anything, no one dared to propose it, so that Song Jiu's opposition was invalid. However, now that so many soldiers have died, I think the prime minister is in a bad mood.

I don’t know how long it took, but a group of people flashed out from afar.

Song Jiu hurriedly stood up.

A man came out of the torch and shouted: "Your Majesty is here."

Song Jiu issued orders one by one, including looking for Zhao Kuangyi, but the south was secondary, mainly because he was afraid of something in the north.

But he was very moved. Before the scout found Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi heard about it, including some things that happened in Zhuozhou City. Zhao Kuangyi was very worried. These thieves should not really make their nephew emperor, and the consequences were uncontrollable. So he ignored the fatigue and the arrow wounds on his body, and rushed to Zhuozhou City in a ox cart.

The soldiers in the city cheered.

Although the emperor was ashamed to escape, it would be fine if he was alive. Otherwise, even the emperor would have done it for the other party, so how confident would he have to fight against the Khitan?

All the big guys hurriedly welcomed them out of the city.

Zhao Kuangyi entered the city. Suddenly he looked at Song Jiu and whispered: "Song Qing, you are very good."

Enough.

He trusted Song Jiu, and it was enough to get rewards for Song Jiu to stabilize the people in Zhuozhou alone.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Kuangyi summoned the soldiers and asked about their losses and casualties.

Then nodded, the casualties were better than Song Jiu imagined, and better than Zhao Kuangyi imagined.

Let everyone disperse, but leave Song Jiu and Yang Ye behind.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yang Ye and suddenly said, "Yang Qing, you actually dare to lie."

Yang Ye was trembling.

Song Jiu said: "This minister has hesitation. Therefore, he was instructed to Yang Ye not to reveal the truth."

Zhao Kuangyi sighed: "Song Jiu, who do you think of me as?"

"I am guilty."

"It's not that you are guilty, it's that I am guilty." Zhao Kuangyi said regretfully. Before the army was launched in the capital, Song Jiu said that the Khitan should not be underestimated. After obtaining Taiyuan, don't be greedy for Youzhou anymore. You can go to Youzhou, but be patient. Later, when he arrived in Zhenzhou, Song Jiu advised him again, but he refused to listen. At that time, Pan Mei winked, and Zhao Kuangyi also saw it. Yu Gong was both literary and military, and Yu privately was a father-in-law and son-in-law, so he pretended not to see it.

However, only when you know loyal ministers in Zhuozhou City know who is loyal and who is not loyal.

"Tell me what happened in the city?"

"Your Majesty, rumors spread in the army at that time, the three armies were headless, and the six armies were in a hurry. Some people said some bad suggestions, but they were also thinking about the overall situation. Otherwise, if something bad happened, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were destroyed, and the Khitan cavalry rolled south, and our court was in danger. Please do not pursue it."

"I don't blame anyone. I ask you again. Do you think I will definitely be defeated if you do it?" Song Jiu confessed to Shi Shouxin and the others. Zhao Kuangyi only asked one question, obviously he didn't want to go into this topic.

"No, although I am worried in the rear, I dare not say whether I win or lose. However, if the two armies are in war, if the two countries have equal strength, it is normal to win and lose each other. For example, in the battle between Jin and Liang, the two countries have won and lost each other. After decades of fighting, it took two generations of hard work. Li Keyong and his son laughed to the end and became the orthodox Central Plains. Therefore, when I discussed with Yang Ye, I privately calculated where the victory would come from and where the defeat would come from. Think about the best, what should I do in the rear to add icing on the cake, and in the bad direction, I think about how to remedy and reduce the losses. Therefore, I sent Yang Ye to the edge of the battlefield just in case."

Zhao Kuangyi sighed again.

Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, I sent a spy to Youzhou City to inquire. When I heard something, Yelu Xiuge was caught in an arrow and fell into a coma. Therefore, I had an idea to attack the east and the west."

"You mean that the Khitan troops are concentrated in Youzhou, and our dynasty can use troops in the clouds."

"Your Majesty, no, the three armies were tired, and they marched in Hedong and used their troops in the clouds. Even if the Khitan clouds were empty, they might not be able to win. And if what I expected was right, the Khitans would have to be looked down upon. Although this battle allowed them to save Youzhou, there were also losses. Yelu Xiuge rushed to come, and there should be more reinforcements behind them. Next, they will retaliate against our dynasty, including Hebei and Hedong. Therefore, the real empty place is in the rear of the Khitan. So my idea is..."

"How can that be?"

"Except for me, those who dare to go will not work. Those who work will either dare not go or disdain to go. The opportunity will pass in the blink of an eye. Although you can't fight for the success of Youzhou again, does Your Majesty spend a lifetime to take back Youyun?"

"Song Qing, the country needs you too."

"What I have done is just to add icing on the cake. Without your Majesty, the country will get better and better with your Majesty. Especially when you enter the city, Your Majesty stopped the three armies and retreated slightly, which made the soldiers' anger relieved before entering the city, so as not to vent their anger and massacre the city after entering the city. I am very moved. The wise ruler is over to my Song Dynasty. Therefore, please ask Your Majesty to ask where to go."

"Are you going to bring those generals here?"

"Your Majesty, the Khitan may invade the south. Some generals who can be found must stay in Hebei and Hedong. My trip is mainly about tempering, so I want to bring some young generals over, such as General Yang's eldest son and second son. Or, if Your Majesty asks General Gao Qiong to walk with me, then he will be more confident," said Song Jiu.

In fact, there were many famous ministers in the Song Dynasty at this time, including many young generals, but Song Jiu couldn't remember them all. Not only the generals, but he didn't even know the famous saint Li Bing.

"Gao Qiong and you have a fate to go to Bashu with you. Yang Qing's second son..." Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yang Ye and said happily: "Yang Qing, I entered Taiyuan City, but I continued to fight bloody battles and killed countless generals and soldiers with me, but Song Jiu admired it."

"I am guilty."

"It's not that it's a crime. The two countries are fighting and each is their master. Your loyalty is not that. How can Song Qing appreciate you?"

Zhao Kuangyi was wrong, and Song Jiu appreciated Yang Ye, which was a legend in later generations. And Song Jiu was also afraid that Pan Mei would continue to become Pan Renmei and Song Jiu would become the father-in-law of the Song Kingdom.

The Song army slowly retreated south.

Some people were captured, but the section from Zhuozhou to Jintaitun is mostly mountainous areas, and there are not many people, so the Youzhou area cannot be damaged.

Yelu Xiu Ge's injuries gradually recovered. After hearing this, he had various considerations, and the military discipline of the Song army also recovered, so he did not dare to pursue him. This battle of the Song Dynasty was even more miserable, but both countries were in a mess.

There were many casualties and injuries to the Khitan soldiers, and there was no harvest, which also caused economic trauma to the Khitan. What's worse is that most of the crops in Youzhou were trampled and lost their ally, and at the same time, they lost their ally.

The Song Dynasty suffered even heavier losses, and countless soldiers were sacrificed. Even Zhao Kuangyi was hit by several arrows. What’s worse was greater economic losses. Before the war, countless money and silk were spent on materials, supplies, grass and weapons, and then more money was spent on pensions, unless Zhao Kuangyi re-overthrew the edict he issued.

After this battle, the money stored in Zhao Kuangyin's warehouse finally made Zhao Kuangyi spend almost all his money and become empty...

But as Song Jiu said in Zhuozhou, if Zhao Kuangyi had learned a lesson, at least before the second Northern Expedition, Zhao Kuangyi's confidence and the confidence of the generals had not yet been conquered and would not have caused fear of Liao, then it would be a good thing.

When the chariot arrived in Dingzhou, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly issued an edict, ordering Cui Han and Dingwu Jiedu Jiedu Meng Xuanzhe and others to stay in Dingzhou, Zhangde Jiedu Jiedu Li Han Qiongtun Zhenzhou, and Heyang Jieduan Cui Yanjin and others to settle down in Guannan, so they can work in a convenient way.

Then he called out several generals, drew a formation map, and ordered the generals to divide them into eight formations, each of which was a hundred steps apart to wait for the Liao army. Then he said, "The Khitan must come to attack the border. He should use this to set up an ambush to attack the enemy, which can be a great victory."

Song Jiu didn't know about this, otherwise he would have stopped him.

The car drove to Dingzhou. The second town is in Zhenzhou.

Second in Xingzhou.

Mingzhou.

Sub-Daming Mansion.

The Qing army of the second De.

Tsenzhou.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuangyi issued another strange edict, saying that Lu Mengzheng was the magistrate of Mizhou and Zhang Qixian was the magistrate of Dengzhou. The two of them began to show their talents. This was not surprising. But there was also a magistrate behind, and that Song Jiu was the magistrate of Dengzhou as the fair seal of Qi State.
