Chapter 335: Small Battle (Part 1)

Zheng Langshu reported that he had not arrived in the capital, and Zhao Zhen had ordered the Liu family to be let go of the siege.

If you don’t understand military affairs, you cannot ignore the wisdom of the ministers in the capital.

First, Jia Changchao made a statement that the Han Dynasty killed Li Ling’s mother and wife, but Ling was not allowed to return. However, the Han Dynasty regretted it. The former emperor comforted Wang Jizhong’s family and finally got the right to use it. The matter was not known, so he first collected his family and made the result exist, but he could not return.

The Han Dynasty killed Li Ling, but Li Ling could not return to the Han Dynasty, so he lost a tiger general. Emperor Zhenzong of Song highly praised Wang Jizhong, who was still in the Khitan, but it was an important bridge for peace between the two countries.

Then Ren Bu and other ministers made suggestions, and what was even more inexplicable was Fu Bi, who had a rich imagination. He said that Ping led troops to help but did not go to the rescue. Because the treacherous ministers did not rescue him, he scolded the thief and died without eating. He should care for his family.

It turns out that he brought Yang Ye’s story over.

Afterwards, Zheng Lang almost got mad. The two worked together for a long time, and Zheng Lang was not polite. He wrote a letter and criticized Fu Bi severely. You are a censor in the Zhijianyuan. You can give advice, but you must be realistic and never give advice based on your imagination.

So Zhao Zhen issued an edict to remove the siege of Liu's mansion.

Just before, Zheng Lang reported that he was granted five hundred pieces of silk, five hundred stagnant pieces of silk from Ping and Yuansun’s family, and five hundred pieces of cloth. At this time, Zheng Lang had not yet restored the truth of Liu Ping’s bloody battle, so he gave a small reward first to compensate.

Zhao Zhen already knew more about the truth.

This is the most famous leader in China's five thousand years of history. It is not that he has no wisdom, but that he is generous and kind.

An edict was issued for guilt.

It was a small note written by Zheng Lang, with only fifteen words on it. Wu Qi sucked the pus, and Emperor Taizong of Tang cried and sacrificed. Your Majesty issued an edict to blame himself.

Two stories told: A soldier had pustules on his legs. Wu Qi sucked the soldiers himself. After hearing this, his mother cried. It was not a good thing. General Wu treated my son like this. Once the war started, my son would be desperate and sacrificed.

Li Shimin failed to conquer Goryeo. After returning, he encountered the cold weather, thousands of people were frozen to death. He personally cried to sacrifice to the soldiers, but the people did not complain, and the soldiers were even used by Li Shimin.

In the Battle of Sanchuankou, Fan Yong, Liu Ping and Li Shibin made a series of command errors, and there were also errors in the court, including Zhao Zhen.

Therefore, Zheng Lang asked Zhao Zhen to take the blame, isn’t it just an edict for guilt? It is just a confession of mistakes that the people love more, the ministers will be more ashamed, and the soldiers will be more moved. An edict will have many positive effects.

Then Zheng Lang's second and third memorials were presented, which was very fast, far better than the speed in history and closer to the truth. Zheng Lang's acceleration accelerated a series of events, including Wang Xin.

Huang Dehe's escape, and many soldiers fled away. Even Liu Ping's son Liu Yisun was taken away by Huang Dehe's fleeing army and led out of the battlefield. Huang Dehe fled to Ganquan and plundered the people. A defeated soldier arrived. Huang Dehe asked where Liu Shi was. The defeated soldiers said that they had lost each other during the war, and they did not know where they were, or they thought they had lost a lot and dared not return, and they had surrendered to the thief.

This is the origin of Huang Dehe's original imagination. After hearing this, Huang Dehe was overjoyed and said, "It's clear that Liu Ping surrendered to the thief, I will report to the court. You and I have made contributions to the war. I will reward you. The soldiers were happy and went out to threaten Liu Ping surrendered to the thief."

In fact, this soldier escaped from the central army with Huang Dehe when he escaped, and then he knew nothing about the battlefield.

Liu Ping's village was broken, and a foreign general named Lu Mi escaped. He followed Huang Dehe, saying that he saw Liu Ping being captured by Li Yuanhao with his own eyes. This was his guess. With Lu Mi's force, he could see Liu Ping being captured and was also near Liu Ping. How could he kill him? But Huang Dehe was even more happy and rewarded Lu Mi with great rewards. He also made a memorial saying that the bandits broke through the formation with their own troops. The ministers and Liu Ping blocked the Xishan camp and fought again. When Ping defeated the bandits, and the ministers and others were not wronged and could fight hard.

The second false accusation conflicted with the first false accusation, but Huang Dehe didn't care. I said what I said, only saying that Liu Ping surrendered. I didn't listen to my advice, so I led the troops out and did not say that he was a village in Xishan. At this time, Zheng Lang had left Kaifeng and did not know.

If Zheng Lang had not come to the northwest, something else happened. Not only Lu Mi, but also Liu Ping's brave general Wang Xin was killed. He saw with his own eyes that Liu Ping was caught, but it was a shame that Liu Ping was arrested. Therefore, he never told the truth.

After fleeing to Yanzhou, Fan Yong sent him to Fuzhou. Huang Dehe and Zhang Zonghui asked Liu Ping whereabouts. Wang Xin hated him for being robbed, so he said that Li Yuanhao sent Li Jinming to make an appointment with him. Liu Ping asked Li Kang, the accountant, and Yuanhao asked Liu Ping to have an interview in person. Liu Ping rode a horse into the thief's camp, and those who followed him were not allowed to enter.

He was not malicious. Think about it, how much face the imperial court lost when a dignified commander No. 2, Fuyan Road was captured during the war. He was alone and had no choice but to be captured.

Huang Dehe said, I have already said that Liu Ping surrendered the thief, and the court will immediately set up a prison and give you silver hairpins. You can run away.

At this time, Liu Ping and his two subordinates had already escaped from Jinming Village. Fan Yong did not react. He only knew that Wang Xin had lied and sent someone to arrest Wang Xin. When he was in a cold state, Wang Xin wrote to Liu Yisun and said, "I am following the Taiwei, and the battle with the thief is not good. The Taiwei enters the thief to make peace with the thief for the safety of the soldiers. His life and death are unknown. Today, some people say that the Taiwei surrenders the thief, and Xin should make a clear understanding of his death. Now that the clothes are plundered by the thief, I have little help. I should protect the Taiwei family."

It is more positive to make an appointment with the soldiers and be captured, which is more positive than to capture the image alive on the battlefield. Otherwise, the Liu Ping's family would be likely to be killed by the court.

Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji said that Liu Ping was killed, and the court did not ask about Wang Xin anymore. After all, Wang Xin's reputation was not yet obvious at that time, and Yanzhou had to investigate it seriously. It was very troublesome. It was better to have less trouble than more. Wang Xin saw that the court said that Liu Ping was killed and the people of Xixia did not promote Liu Ping's capture, so Wang Xin hid it. A few years later, it was reported that Liu Ping was also caught in the hands of the thief. At that time, Wang Xin was dead and made great achievements. The court did not ask him if he had lie.

However, Wang Xin himself was resentful because of this matter. After knowing shame, he became more brave. He learned from Liu Ping's lesson and became a famous general in the Song Dynasty.

When Zheng Lang arrived, there were no so many stories, but Wang Xin arrived in Yanzhou and heard about Huang Dehe, he immediately wrote a letter, saying that Liu Ping made an appointment with him, but it was confirmed that Huang Dehe was a false complaint.

It is impossible to confirm whether Wang Xin's words are true or false, but Huang Dehe must have been falsely accused. Zhao Zhen was angry and ordered Zheng Lang to send someone to take Huang Dehe and Lu Mi to the capital immediately.

The edict has not arrived at Sanchuankou.

Xia Shouyun took the initiative to ask for a trip to the northwest and ordered the commander of the Southern Court of Xuanhui to be the chief commander of the Shaanxi Cavalry Army and the manager of the management of the politicians. His son Xia Sui, in the northwest, was appointed as the deputy commander of the corpse.

The Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to ask Zheng Lang to worship the martyrs at the bone burial site of Sanchuankou on behalf of the emperor, and to provide the martyrs' families with the martyrs. Liu Ping, Guo Zunshi Yuansun and others were given official positions in the sacrifice of the descendants of the general.

But unexpectedly, another battle took place in Mikawaguchi.

...

Lu Shouqin said, "Retreat to Yanzhou City."

The beach head of Huanglongchuan is very close to Yanzhou, less than ten miles away.

Zheng Lang ignored him and asked the spy: "How many enemies are there, how far is it from here?"

"There are about three or four thousand people, only thirty miles away."

"Come on the fight." Zheng Lang said.

He was unwilling to accept the evacuation. Although Wulongchuan is very close to Yanzhou City, most of the nearly 3,000 troops were infantrymen, and under Cang Zhong might not be able to enter the city one by one.

He also felt strange in his heart, as if in history, Yuan Hao quickly returned to the country after leaving Jinmingzhai and was preparing to launch the next attack.

Fan Yong was afraid that something might happen to him, and Su Keqing was also afraid that something would happen to him. While asking about Liu Ping's truth, Su Keqing led several capable soldiers to ride out of the Tumen. He did not have the ability to go deep into Hengshan to inquire, but heard some news in the Tumen.

After Yuan Hao withdrew from Tumen, he settled the accused people and gradually disbanded the army from Tumen. After all, so many soldiers were together, they would waste a lot of food and grass in just one day. As the true words in Fan Yong’s memorial, can they withstand hunger and cold?

People always have to eat, and horses always have to eat grass.

Where did this army come from?

Li Kangbo said: "Or where can we meet the enemy?"

He pointed to Liu Ping's camps, which were in ruins, but they played some roles and were in a prestigious way.

"Don't speak!" Zheng Lang shouted.

It seems that there are many benefits and are condescending. The Xixia people are all cavalry, and they are the main players on the Wulongchuan plain. However, this is not the case. After the new defeat, morale has not recovered. Once they retreat to the low mountain, they may be defeated.

Li Kangbo dared not speak anymore.

Zheng Lang said: "Call Di Qing and Yang Wenguang."

This is his greatest reliance. The two of them have not yet fully grown up, otherwise Zheng Lang would have wanted to make dumplings with the 3,44th enemy troops who came.

Everyone didn't know what Zheng Lang was thinking, and they didn't look up Di Qing and Yang Wenguang. Seeing Zheng Lang calm, they all thought of it, so brave.

Di Qing and Yang Wenguang brought them over, and Zheng Lang said: "There is a group of enemy troops about 3,000 or 4,000 people heading straight to us. Now it is only twenty or thirty miles away. What do you think?"

"Is it really only three or four thousand people?" Di Qing asked the spy.

"I don't count the specific number of people, but it won't exceed four thousand."

Di Qing frowned and thought for a while and said, "Prince Zheng, the general thought that the enemy must have heard that the magistrate came to Wulongchuan, and there were only 300 people around him. Jinming Village had been drilled through, so he sent this group of people to kidnap Zheng."

He really guessed it.

Yuan Hao has returned and cannot afford to consume it.

However, the bloody battle of Liu Ping's troops made Yuan Hao feel worried. He was afraid that the Song Dynasty's army would arrive, so he took revenge on Xixia. He left Xixia Yong to Hengshan to monitor the movements in Yanzhou.

At this time, from Jinming Village to Tumen was like a huge black hole. Su Keqing could unearth the Tumen to inquire about the news, and the spies from Xixia could also go to Yanzhou to inquire about the news. So he heard Zheng Lang leading 300 troops to inquire about the truth about Sanchuankou in Wulongchuan.

Yeli Wangrong was not interested, and the battle had reached its goal, so there was no need to take risks for a Song Dynasty prefect.

But there was another person in the army. After hearing this, his eyes lit up and advocated Zheng Lang's ability and his status in the Song Dynasty.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Yanzhou seemed to have not had much troops anyway. Besides, the middle road was opened, so he could quickly lead troops to Wulongchuan, capture the people and return to Hengshan base camp. So he personally led 3,500 troops and rushed over with lightning speed.

The truth is Di Qing is not God, so he must have never imagined it.

He could only analyze the matter and said: "Su Dutou (Su Keqing was re-appointed as Dutou) has found out that the Western Xia army was disbanded. At this time, the troops near Yanzhou can only protect themselves. Yuan Hao will not pretend to be a mystery like the last time he surrounded the point and attacked the aid. If the last guess is right, it may be that he was stationed in Hengshan. He heard that Zheng Gong only led 300 people here and wanted to sneak attack and make contributions. The number of people would not be too large."

Zheng Lang nodded.

Di Qing said again: "Send someone to notify the security army to close the city gates urgently and do a good job in defending the enemy."

Most of the security army asked Shi Yuansun to take away, and Di Qing himself brought another 200 people to Sanchuankou. At this time, the security army wanted no soldiers and no generals. If the enemy not only had one route, but had divided them into several routes, and all the way was to the security army. Once the security army lost, even the gate of Qingzhou was opened naked to Xixia, and the northwest might immediately become corrupt.

"Okay," Zheng Lang immediately ordered the scouts to go to the security army with his order.

The speed is fast, thirty miles away. If the soldiers walk for more than an hour, even if they trot, it will take an hour. However, the cavalry may pounce on them if they can't take an hour.

"Then use a fast horse to quickly summon General Zhong Shiheng, General Guo Yanzhen quickly divides troops in Yanzhou, General Shao Yuanji, and General Gao Yande quickly sends troops to Bao'an City to prevent any mistakes."

Originally, Yanzhou had few soldiers, and Fan Yong came to Wulongchuan and brought hundreds of people to him, increasing the troops of Wulongchuan to a few thousand, but Yanzhou City had even fewer troops.

Wulongchuan is about to fight and cannot divide his troops, so he must distribute troops from him to prevent Yanzhou and the Baoan Army from making any mistakes.

Zhong Shiheng is in Qingjian City, and Qingjian City is forced to do so. It is two hundred miles away from Yanzhou City. The army cannot reach it for a while. If it is in a precaution, the support army will play a role as a surprise weapon.

The other three are the unbreakable Chongzhai in northeast and northwest of Yanzhou.

Yuanhao broke into Jinming Village, and then attacked Anyuan, Saimen and Yongping Village.

The head of Yongping Village Guo Yanzhen, the custodian Wang Jiyuan, wanted to hide his troops in the deep mountains to avoid bandits. The commander commander Shi Ji's troops covered the city gate and said immediately: "You want to escape. Although you can protect the army, what should the people in the city do if they store grain? In the future, a department will investigate and impeach him. Ji is the commander and will not be killed. I hope to kill Ji first in front of the horse, otherwise I will not let you follow your troops."

Wang Jiyuan and Wang Yi returned in shame.

When the enemy arrived, he besieged the city. Ji led his troops to resist guarding and saved Yongping Village. Afterwards, Shi Ji said, "I am lucky that I will not lose the city, how dare I judge the merits?"

Later, after hearing about Guo Zun's deeds, he admired him very much and married his daughter to Guo Zun's younger brother Guo Kui.

Of course, Shi Ji didn't know how awesome Guo Kui was. His unintentional actions made his daughter the wife of the deputy prime minister.

Another person makes more contributions.
