We should enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the words we have made before are true...

With Di Qing and Yun Zheng as the leader, the 15th Route in West Jingxi began to dethrone the Xiang army. The original Jingdong Road soldiers were watching. They were waiting with all kinds of vicious thoughts to see how these unlucky colleagues were starved to death...

News from the northwest finally came. Fu Bi was indeed ambushed at the killing tiger's mouth. The person who took action was Qingyi Ghost Chain, known as the "Black Tiger". Three thousand cavalrymen tightly bit Fu Bi's front army and entered a state of melee from the beginning. Fortunately, the Huanzhou general Ma Jinhu was not a good person. He resisted the attack of Qingyi Ghost Chain when gunpowder could not be used on a large scale.

The terrain of the tiger's mouth was like a trumpet. When the front army was blocked, Fu Bi did not choose to retreat, but decisively chose to camp on the spot. Less than an hour after his camp was established, more than 40,000 Qingtang cavalrymen broke out from the far mountain gap behind Fu Bi into three groups. The two armies were indistinguishable in the valley in front of the tiger's mouth.

"The tragic war is unprecedented and unprecedented" This is a sentence from Fu Bi's memorial. In just three days, six thousand soldiers of the Song Dynasty were stained with yellow sand. Ma Jinhu, the chief supervisor of Huanzhou, died in battle. He Shaolu, the assistant general of Pengzhou, died in battle. Fu Bi's confidant Zhang Shu died in battle. After Lei Peng, deputy envoy of the Cangcai in the west, got off from the battlefield, the arrows removed from him were as much as one pound and seven taels, and he almost became a bloody man. If he hadn't been wearing heavy armor, he would have died long ago.

When Yun Zheng saw this military newspaper in the palace hall, he couldn't help but sigh, "Ma Jinhu and Zhang Shu himself know each other." Especially the Northwest general Ma Jinhu has always been close to him. He didn't expect that this time he would lose his mouth to kill the tiger. It is said that human names and place names are incompatible, which is too evil.

When Yun Zheng thought of the rough man smiling at him, he couldn't help feeling sad. This guy said that his wife and children had already held a funeral for him, and even if he died in the battle, there was no regret for him. Unexpectedly, he became a precept.

Dong Wen personally led his troops to attack Fubi's camp for three days, but on the fourth night, he quietly retreated and disappeared into the vast mountains...

Dong Wen did not get much benefit in this battle. More than 9,000 people were killed in his command, and the battle loss exceeded 20%. Although it was just a small camp, the ability of the Song army to defend the city must be affirmed.

However, after experiencing such a cruel war, Fu Bi was unable to advance westward again. He had to lead his troops to retreat slowly. Hualu Village stationed west of Qinzhou prevented Dong Wen from returning.

"The war in the future will become different from the past, the means of war will become more hidden, and the intensity of war will rise sharply. The loss of war will also become very large.

Since the Song Dynasty deployed gunpowder into the army, it was very helpful for improving combat power, but the war had already undergone new changes. Whether it was Qingtang, Xixia, or Liao Kingdom, they were all preventing our firearms. The reason why Qingyi Ghost Chapter stuck to Ma Jinhu's army was because they were worried that we would use firearms. Since no one had gained a advantage in this battle, this was the first battle of the Song Dynasty's new army. It was impressive to have such achievements. Even if I and Shuai Di went there, it would be like this.

Therefore, Fu Bi is not guilty, but he will be rewarded by the country!"

Hearing Yun Zheng exonerating Fu Bi, Pang Ji glanced at Yun Zheng strangely, and then bowed to the emperor and said, "What Wen Xinhou said is very much. It is rare for Fu Bi to be able to respond in a hurry. The old minister thinks it is not appropriate to punish him."

Zhao Zhen was very disappointed. He originally thought that the strength of the Song army had made great progress. Even if he fought with the barbarian army, he should not suffer such heavy losses. However, the facts were in front of him, which forced him to re-recognize his army.

He was not a strong-willed person himself. In his opinion, the Qinzhou army, which had been armed to his teeth, should not have given him such an answer. This battle almost defeated the ambitions he had already developed.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at Di Qing, wanting to hear what he said. Compared to Yun Zheng, Zhao Zhen believed Di Qing more.

"Your Majesty, Pang Xiang, and Wen Xinhou's words are heartfelt words. The sharp edge of the Qingtang barbarians is especially better than Xixia. It is impossible to say that they are the best soldiers in the world. Fu Bi is more than 30,000 against more than 40,000, and he can still gain the upper hand. His performance is commendable. The old minister congratulates you!" Di Qing saw the emperor looking at him and then went out to deal with it.

When Zhao Zhen heard that Qingtang soldiers were the number one strong army in the world, his eyes lit up and he asked repeatedly: "What your family says is serious? These Qingtang people are even more vicious than those of Xixia people?"

Han Qi said: "That's true. The Qingtang barbarians are on the plateau, and the climate there is extremely harsh. The soldiers that have been slaughtered in the ice and snow are indeed stronger than those in other places. In addition, Qingtang is now a place of battles, and all the soldiers who can survive are brave. After killing the tiger's mouth, our army injured 6,000 soldiers. The Qingtang people had already taken the lead and there were nearly 10,000 casualties. So I won this battle in the Song Dynasty!"

Di Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that the casualties in the military formation only account for 40% of the casualties, and 60% of the wounded soldiers will gradually die in a month.

Now the northwest is hot, and ulcers are inevitable. The old minister believes that the number of casualties in Qingtang will not be less than 20,000, and our army can significantly reduce the ulcer of wounded soldiers because of the good things like alcohol. The number of casualties will definitely be much smaller than that of Qingtang people. The words of the people in charge of political affairs are not false."

Wang Anshi said in a negative test: "My Song Dynasty military and civilians totaled more than 60 million, and Qingtang is only a few million. Such casualties are not something that his small Qingtang can lose."

The ministers' congratulations from left and right finally gave Zhao Zhen some confidence again, and his frown also let go of his full smile, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Wang Anshi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since the soldiers have already opened a good start for our Song Dynasty with their flesh and blood, we should make good use of it. Now that the war is over, it is time to expand the achievements of the soldiers. I think that at this time, the border trade should be closed, the Song Dynasty should be closed and the country should be closed, and the tiger fight should be watched."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Close-in-the-country relationships are not a good idea. The border areas are complicated and if the court's trade is closed, countless smuggling merchants will immediately appear to fill this gap.

The reason why my private salt dealers in the Song Dynasty have been repeatedly banned is because of the interests that have been driven by the strong people on the border, and our borders stretch for tens of thousands of miles, there is no way to prevent and control them.

Instead of cheapering those smugglers, it is better to continue to open the trade. On the one hand, it does not give Xixia and Qingtang people a real population, and on the other hand, it does not give them the opportunity to attack us. Third, as long as the trade continues to be hosted by the court, we can control the flow of materials, which is much better than closing the trade."

Wang Anshi was furious and said, "This is a crime of treason. Who dares to take the blame for the world?"

Yun Zheng glanced at Wang Anshi lazily and said, "That's how I did at Dousha Pass back then!"

"You!" Wang Anshi pointed at Yun Zheng's beard and hair was about to roar, and then Zhao Zhen said to Yun Zheng on it: "Okay, okay, don't take your embarrassment to the court. If it weren't for the fact that you were exchanging war horses for the court, even if you had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough to cut them. I heard that you finally knew how to sit in the court recently?

That's right. As an official, it's really embarrassing to not even know his own official party. Since you are dealing with the 15th Route of Jingxi, then do it well. It's your great contribution to the remediation of Jingxi."

After saying that, he picked up a thick memorial on the table and said, "Fu Bi has sent him his defense measures. I and Pang Xiang, the General Secretary and the Privy Councilor have discussed it. Fu Bi's method is very good. He just let him continue to guard Qinzhou. The officials in the capital listened to the Qinzhou army. Everything that needs must be prepared as soon as possible. If you are despised, I will punish you severely."

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes and knew that this was the result. He had already arranged everything behind his back and took it to the court and said that it was just to inform everyone. He didn't plan to listen to anyone's opinions. The high-level words he had said in vain.

The mutual market seems to be about to be closed. This is a national policy formulated by the court and no one can change it.

Zhao Zhen did not make Fu Bi's argument public. In Yun Zheng's opinion, this was a great progress, at least he had a sense of confidentiality. This is very good. In the past, the court of the Song Dynasty was just a sieve, and some news that the people of Xixia knew earlier than the ministers.

Back at the official in the Ministry of War, Yun Zheng saw Li Chang sitting in a seat he liked with two warriors and big horse swords. The atmosphere was very serious and waiting for him to enter. The bruises on the guy's face were gone, but the obviously held mouth completely destroyed the solemn and damaging it. It was obvious that the guy's teeth had not been repaired.

"My wife has paid for your dentures, enough for your whole family to install dentures. Why haven't you installed them yet?" Yun Zheng entered the room, held Li Chang's collar and placed him on another chair, sat down comfortably and put his legs on the case and asked with a smile.

"Yun Zheng, don't bully people too much!" Li Chang looked at the two wooden guards. He wanted to rush up to argue with Yun Zheng but didn't dare, so he had to stand there and jump and shout.

"Okay, okay, you are joining the army, I am the commander, and you will be in the same pot in the future. We are a family, and the generals and ministers don't know? Lian Po can both carry Jingtou to apologize for Lin Xiangru. There is no big deal between you and me. You can get rid of something by asking for a crime. What's the matter if you insist on taking it?"

"I am the face!"

"Turn down, I am from the third grade of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department of the Department

"I am a military supervisor!"

"Then you just need to be supervised. This is the work sent by Your Majesty. Of course you have to do it! Now the 15th army in the west of Jingdong is all in Jingdong. If you don't go to Liangshanbo to supervise the army, why should you run to me, a bare-headed general?" (To be continued...)
