Standing on Lingzhou City, he saw the Song army escorting many people as if no one else, slowly retreating to the south... Yuan Hao was not angry, but relaxed, unprecedentedly relaxed. The Song army headed north like a bamboo shoot, frightening Yuan Hao. He even doubted whether the Song army had the ability to seize Lingzhou City again, and then chased him again, and chased him to Xingqing Prefecture, so that Xixia could truly destroy the country.

Last night, he lay alone on the bed and cried secretly.

I was sobbed by these terrifying Song soldiers.

But the Song army did not delay much. Capturing the people was just a by the way, and there were more important things to do. They swept through many villages and escorted more than 20,000 people and a large amount of supplies, cattle, horses and sheep, and withdrew from the rewards and transfers. Ten thousand Song army set up camp at Xiaoguan with the captured materials. The others continued to go south and stopped in the Wuyanqian Gorge.

The weather was not good on the day. The sky was filled with obscure clouds, the north wind was cold and the wilderness was yellow. Many vultures flew from the low altitude, looking for the dead bodies of the Xixia soldiers on the ground to eat. Seeing the arrival of the army, they flew to the sky again, making unpleasant screams.

But in front of the smoke gorge, there was a burst of joy and laughter.

It was rare for the Song Dynasty to achieve such a great victory over the past few decades.

Although the Battle of Fulin Road was brave, it did not achieve such brilliant results because of its small number of troops. Although Shimenchuan was not a regular army in Xixia, the reputation of victory was not right, and it was even more rare to chase the city of Lingzhou. After this battle, Xixia's vitality was really seriously damaged and could not recover in a few years.

With the captive cattle and sheep, Zheng Lang ordered the slaughter on the spot and transported a lot of fine wine from the rear, allowing the soldiers to have fun.

Most cattle, horses and sheep must be transported to the rear as compensation and rewarded to those people with heavy casualties. Although this victory was dazzling, the casualties were also severe. The soldiers who died only reached more than 27,000. Some of them were seriously injured, and even minor injuries were ignored. If calculated, at least two-thirds of the Song army were injured or seriously injured.

There were also ordinary people, more than 8,000 people who died in Weizhou alone. Several medium-sized forts were broken. Some people outside Weizhou who had not had time to retreat were successively killed. In addition, the archers and militia who participated in the war with the army, as well as the harm caused by the riots to the people, reached more than 18,000.

Jingyuan Road once again became a severely affected area. All the casualties were Jingyuan Road, and more than half of the soldiers were Jingyuan Road soldiers. Even Han Qi had a rare automatic forgetting the pre-war agreement and did not compete for the distribution of materials with Zheng Lang.

Gathering here, some troops will be withdrawn later.

Fan Zhongyan’s troops on Huanqing Road were too empty, and half of the manpower had to be withdrawn to protect the safety of Huanqing Road.

Wang Xin's army would not move, either Wang Xin himself went back, and according to Pang Ji's personality, the war would end, and his Hengshan Battle would end as a result, in order to achieve stability. Then, the extended road would not require so many troops. Han Qi's army would also stay. Could it be that the Tubo people and Xixia forgot the hatred for hundreds of years and joined forces with each other? Or they would supervise some of the local unruly Fan tribes, and some soldiers were left behind in Qin Fenglu, which was enough to deal with it. Besides, in such a great victory, which Qiang tribe dared to move?

These troops stayed to do a big thing.

Build a village!

Xiaoguan was rebuilt, and it was larger than before, covering the entire canyon. Shengqiang Village was set up on the east side of the Manyikou where Tiandu Mountain and Wuyan Gorges led to Hulu River. These were the villages that were successively set up after the Song Dynasty won the Xixia people in history. They were all dangerous places for the terrain. Now Zheng Lang moved them one by one. Tongyuan Village was set up 33 miles south of Shengqiang Village. There was another road directly to Tiandu Mountain. Although it was a small path, it could barely pass through the road of the army. The Longquan Valley could also reach the east. Shimen Fort was set up in front of Shimen River, Lingping Village was set up in front of Sanying River, Pingxia City was set up in front of Wuyan Gorges, and Dangqiang Village was set up in front of Wuyan Gorges.

Why do we have to leave so many troops?

In history, the Song Dynasty established a Pingxia City in Wuyanqianxia. The people of Xixia were crazyly surrounded like mad dogs, and so many forts were established?

Even if Yuan Hao suffered heavy losses, if there was no huge army stationed here, Yuan Hao would go crazy. Once so many forts were built, it would be difficult to invade Jingyuan Road. Moreover, from Weizhou to the north to Tiandu Mountain in the west, they were exposed to the attack of the Song army. They even joined forces with the Huanqing Road army to launch an attack on Yanzhou, because the scope of the Song territory was truly extended to the Shaniuling and Douling lines, and the entire Huanzhou would form a whole. As long as the road was opened, the security army could even reach the security army and threaten the Xixia army on the southwest side of Hengshan.

A huge army must be left to shock and act as a labor force. These are all large forts. In addition, a Jiegou Fort is set up fifteen miles east of Xiaoguan to meet each other, Tongxia Fort is set up north of Pingxia City, and ancient Gaoping Fort, Huimin Fort, Donghewan Fort, and Jiukou Fort are set up one after another, scattered between Pingxia City and Xiaoguan, and guarding each other with other villages. This is the Huluchuan and Wuyan Gorge, one city, one gate, five villages and six forts.

Jiuyang Village was set up in Jiuyang Valley, Zhenqiang Fort was set up 25 miles south, Huaiyuan Village was set up 27 miles south, and Huaiyuan Village was set up in the south and Zhenrong Village in the east, which also blocked all the roads that attacked Jingyuan Road in Xixia. Chongning Village was set up between Gaoping Village and Lingping Village to further protect their strength and take care of each other.

In order to have a flexible opportunity, Zheng Lang was preparing to propose to the court that, as in history, except for Huaiyuan Village divided into the management of the Deshun Army, the rest would be set up, the Huaide Army. Once this new army was established, the Zhenrong Army would become the second line, and the entire Weizhou and Yuanzhou, Jingzhou would become the rear of the rear.

There are a total of seventeen medium and large forts, with a huge project volume.

Zheng Lang also prepared a large amount of blue bricks, lime, and glutinous rice with glutinous rice juice in advance. This was prepared in the rear and the supplies trucks transported there. But it had to be transported by manpower.

Only civilians can be used. The project is arduous, but the construction of the forts is of great significance. It not only has a strategic position, but also saves troops. It is not just an increase in garrison, because the defense line is compressed, the garrison will decrease...

More than 14,000 people were killed and seriously injured in Jingyuan in this battle. However, Zheng Lang had already planned to reorganize the army with the remaining 48,000 people. There was no need for the court to increase the army. To put it bluntly, if the people died, the court had to provide a lot of pensions, but if they continued for a long time, it would save more than 20,000 soldiers. It might not be much more spared. The cavalry increased, and the archers provided some pensions. However, the actual combat effectiveness of this army increased instead of reducing, and it was more flexible and mobile.

In addition, Jingyuan Road officially pulled the defense line to Xiaoguan line, which could truly form a mutual response with Huanqing Road. Huanqing Road can also be relieved and boldly detained a large number of garrisons. This alone is of great significance.

But the key is the project volume. Winter is coming soon and construction cannot be completed. This winter will be very cold and construction will be carried out again until next spring. Before the Zhuzhai Fort is completed, these troops must not leave to prevent any changes.

So Zheng Lang brought the main generals, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan into the tent and made this request to them.

Let's not let our army go, but these army must be loaned to me.

"It's okay to borrow it. The court's ministers will impeach those who overrule their power," said Fan Zhongyan.

"Xiwen, why not be afraid? This is a major event that benefits the country and the country. With this great victory, are the censors blind? "Han Qi said.

Fan Zhongyan cannot speak.

They are all not afraid of trouble, who is afraid of whom, including Zhang Fangping.

"Just say it, for the sake of the country, you can be bound by these trivial matters." Zheng Lang said lightly. But he said in his heart, "I'm afraid I won't say it." The greater the credit, the more you have to pay attention. Xiao He was the leader of the three heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. He did something, and competed for profit with the people, and the people were dissatisfied with the lawsuit. Liu Bangming was very happy in his heart. But later he became confused and asked Liu Bang to share the wasteland in Shanglinyuan for the people to farm. Liu Bang hated Xiao He and the people were pleased, so he arrested Xiao He and put him in prison. Zhao Zhen was much more kind than Liu Bang. At least Han Xin would not end up in the hands of Zhao Zhen. But leaving some appropriate handles is a good thing for him, not a bad thing.

I even wanted to shout to some polite ministers, "I will impeach me, I will overstep my authority here, and use this crime to erase my merits."

It's not ridiculous, this is the real wisdom.

Otherwise, the credit would reach its peak. With the strange system of the Song Dynasty, I was not yet thirty years old and I would be ready to retire and I would not be able to do anything.

Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan didn't care much at all. Since Zheng Lang said that he was not particular about the details, he would borrow it. Han Qi turned his eyes and said, "It's okay to borrow troops, but Xingzhi, I must accompany me to get drunk today before I can stop."

"Brother Zhigui, I have bad intentions and clearly want to laugh at me. But today I will accompany you to have a drunk time before I can stop." Zheng Lang said. When he came to the northwest, he was under great pressure. When he came to the Dingchuan Fort. After several battles in the northwest, Haoshuichuan and Sanchuankou were defeated, but the Song army lost too badly in the battle of Dingchuan Village. After the battle, Zhao Zhen lost confidence. Today, this hanging heart was finally put into practice. Zheng Lang was also very happy.

It was because many people died, which made him dissatisfied. But this was helpless. How could it be possible if you wanted to win a great victory but didn't want to sacrifice?

The singing outside became louder, and the laughter of soldiers came from time to time.

The proud battle was defeated many times before, not only were the four ministers in the border areas under pressure, but the soldiers also under pressure. The court spent too much money, but they were defeated repeatedly. How could they feel that they could be a human being?

Until today, I feel like I'm raising my back.

The soldier brought the burnt sheep into the tent and drank a wine. Han Qi said, "Xingzhi, I will make a memorial and revise it again. Let's see how it is?"

Zheng Lang took his memorial and read it. He almost recorded his words intact, but he polished them and deliberately talked about reform. Spring, summer, summer, autumn, winter, storage, and changes in the four seasons, adapting to the heavenly time and harmony and innovation. The so-called heavenly way is the unity of man and nature.

It is not reform, it is the way of heaven, it is the unity of man and nature.

It is even more serious than what Zheng Lang said. Is it the slanderous family law that is important, or is it the way of heaven and man in harmony?

"Okay, good." Zheng Lang laughed loudly and praised him.

"Xingzhi, Zhigui, what is it?" Fan Zhongyan said.

Zheng Lang handed the memorial to Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan looked at it and said, "Okay."

At this time, his ambition was not small, which suited his wishes. He also keenly realized the benefits of this exemption law. It was not implemented universally across the country, but only in the states with medium income or above. If it was implemented, it would first accumulate some of its wealth, secondly, there was little public resentment and little conflicts, and thirdly, it could reduce some of the soldiers, at least hired the people to do strong labor, and add a way out to some poor people. After this battle, the reformed exemption law came at the right time.

As for whom he advises or comes up with ideas, it doesn't matter. This is a manifestation of his broad mind. Unless he doesn't get his approval, his stubborn personality is also daunting.

Zhang Fangping looked at Zheng Lang with suspicious eyes, and Zheng Lang secretly winked.

Although I discussed it first, I am still a little less powerful. Besides, I have made enough contributions in this battle. Is it necessary to take advantage of this merit?

Didn't say it. But Zhang Fangping was very clever and believed he would understand.

However, a few of them can be seen at the party today. Zhang Fangping didn't talk much to Fan Zhongyan or Han Qi. He also couldn't stand the domineering of these gentlemen, but unlike Zheng Lang's attitude, Zheng Lang's attitude was to try his best to cooperate, so Zhang Fangping simply admired himself.

With a happy mood, Zheng Lang simply let go and drank several large cups of wine.

The drunkenness gradually rushed to his head. When Fan Zhongyan suddenly sighed, Zheng Lang asked, "Xiwen, why did you sigh."

"Zhigui wrote to me before, saying that he would take the opportunity to let Pang Chunzhi seize Hengshan. In addition, this great victory, the country will take over the entire Xixia after several years of rest. It is no longer just a possibility."

"when?"

Han Qi winked at the eyes with guilt. Fan Zhongyan did not pay attention and replied: "It was when the guys were in Dingchuan Village."

Zheng Lang was angry, looked at Han Qi and said, "Brother Zhigui, you are not kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, he became drunk and fell to the ground.

As for what happened later, Zheng Lang didn't know. It was not until the next day that Zheng Lang got up from the bed with a painful head and asked Han Qi what was going on.

Han Qi was careless and said stammeringly: "Xingzhi was just an assumption at that time, so he didn't discuss it with me."

"Brother Zhigui, I'm not angry, I just want to understand what happened." He still has plans to continue to implement in the north, afraid that Han Qi would cheat his plan.

Han Qi said the passage vaguely, with a very awkward expression. Zheng Lang gave him a chance to make contributions, give him a chance to show off, and even took the initiative to give up his credit and open his heart to him. He did something unreasonable.

"So that's it," Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

What should I see about this matter? If Yuan Hao was shot dead this time, Pang Ji's troops would be beneficial but not harmless. Even before the Khitans could react, they would annihilate the Western Xia with lightning speed.

But Yuan Hao did not kill him, and the situation was different.

Yuan Hao suffered a severe blow. After several battles in the northwest, Yuan Hao lost at least 200,000 soldiers. According to the 700,000 households in the Western Xia, an average of one person died in three families. Without ten years, the vitality could not be restored.

If he seized Hengshan again, would he force Yuanhao to the point of desperate situation, put down his unruly character, and truly surrender to the Khitan?

This is what Zheng Lang is most reluctant to see. Xixia's vitality was severely damaged, but she still had a breath, at least using forced expeditions to gather 300,000 troops. If she surrendered to the Khitan, the Song army would have no choice but to rely on the support of the Khitan. How big is Li Jiqian's territory? Besides, Xixia now.

Therefore, Zheng Lang valued the significance of the fight between Xixia and Khitan, and even placed its position above this battle. Although Yuan Hao lost so many people, he still had some capital to fight with the Khitan. He was really impatient. Like the battle in Pingxia City, Zhang Feng lost nearly 300,000 Empress Dowager Liang. The Khitan sent envoys to Xixia and told Empress Dowager Liang that he would drink the poison bar. Queen Liang disagreed, but the people of Xixia forced her to drink it. Because of the loss to the point where Xixia had to put down her body.

This measure must be well grasped, just like the son of the boss written by Song Yu. If one part is added, it will be too long, and one part is too short; if the pink is worn, it will be too white, and if the red is worn, it will be too red. If there is no strategic height, at least it will not be able to build the villages safely. If there is more Yuan Hao, he will not have the confidence to fight the Khitans. Weimiao, Weimiao, now just happened to be right, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, it's so good."

"Xingzhi, you can't think too much," Han Qi thought Zheng Lang was talking nonsense.

"Brother Zhigui, my belly is only so big? I thought about it. What I said is the wonderfulness of the imperial edict this time. Fortunately, I did not occupy Hengshan."

Han Qi is about to faint.

ps: When writing about Han Qi, he suddenly thought of the evaluation of Song Shenzong of Song, saying that he was a loyal minister of two dynasties. It was very interesting. Although Han Qi was an old minister of three dynasties, because of various deeds later, including the expulsion of Zhao Zhen's concubines and princesses from the palace, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu adopted a default attitude in exchange for the high position given to them by Song Yingzong. Therefore, Song Shenzong believed that Han Qi was loyal to their father and son, but the implication was that he was sorry to Song Renzong. Haha, but it could not be said to be too bad. Like Xia Shu, Lu Yijian, and Pang Ji, he had a good side and a bad side. He was definitely not a so-called gentleman. Suddenly, he thought of his admiration for Ouyang Xiu when he was a child, which was so simple at that time.
