Chapter 396: The End of the Hero (Part 2)
Song Jiu thought of Li Jing and Li Ji, but even if Li Jing and Li Ji came to the Song Dynasty, they might not be able to fully exert their power.
In fact, there were many generals who could still be produced during this period of the Song Dynasty, including many like Cao Guangshi, including Tian Renlang.
Song Jiu said it seriously, and Zhao Kuangyi dared not bet. If it comes true, the consequences will be very bad. Not only has the efforts over the past two years been wasted, but the wool trade route has also lost its effect, and even a war horse base will be missing in the future.
Although the Song army mainly focused on military and infantry, without cavalry, that would be a nightmare.
Finally agreed.
The three armies started.
Then, Tian Chongjin was the head coach, Yang Ye was the forward move forward, and Zhang Qixian was the chief supervisor, leading the generals, including Yang Yanzhao and others, to the northwest.
Everyone can understand that Song Jiu used Tian Chongjin, which was a founding veteran.
Everyone can understand that Song Jiu used Zhang Qixian, but Zhao Kuangyi can understand more. That was to let him go to the battlefield to train and be the successor to the future Prime Minister of Xifu.
However, Song Jiu used Yang Ye, which made many people not understand. Yang Ye was very brave in the battle of Yanmen Pass, but in fact he could only be said to be a tiger general, rather than playing the role of a famous general.
But this old boy was first valued by Zhao Kuangyi and then by Song Jiu. Song Jiu deliberately cultivated Yang Ye's two sons, which made many people jealous.
Sixty thousand soldiers and more than a dozen tiger generals were launched to the northwest with great momentum.
However, the Northwest Battle has begun.
Before the army was reached, Zhao Kuangyi ordered the first to send a command to Tian Renlang, the Minmen envoy Wang Zhi, the deputy envoy Dong Yuan, and the Gongyuan envoy Li Jilong to send an edict to fight, and asked Lin, Fu, Xia and other prefectures, as well as Rili, Yueli and other tribes to cooperate in the fight.
When Tian Renlang led his troops to Suizhou, Li Jiqian was leading his troops to attack the Sanzu village in western Linzhou.
The three clan village had a small force and even fewer troops. Li Jiqian also promised to use a blank check from the Fengzhou governor. Therefore, the three clan village leader Zhe Yumi killed the Song Dynasty governor and surrendered the village.
Li Jiqian once again led the army to Funing Village.
Tian Renlang was overjoyed.
The reason is very simple. Funing Village is also not big, but the terrain is dangerous. When Song Jiu expanded the Northwest Village Fort, Funing Village was renovated again. Although it was small, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Li Jiqian wanted to fight, so he asked him to fight.
When he is tired of fighting, I will deal with you. Otherwise, it will not be easy to deal with. If you win, you will advance. If you lose, you will go. If you escape, you will run to the Nanhetao Desert. Even if the court sends 60,000 troops to help, it will not be easy to capture. There are quite a lot of troops, including the Zhe family, the Wang family, and the tribes who are benefiting every day, almost 110,000 troops. But what is the point of scattering the Nanhetao Desert?
So when he is tired of fighting, he first divides the ambush and cuts off his retreat. When the army comes in person, he will be able to capture Li Jiqian alive. Even if it doesn't work, drag it down. Tian Chongjin arrives. Even if Li Jiqian escapes, it is difficult to make arrangements because of the hasty time, and the army will come to the back. It also reduces the difficulty of suppressing the suppression.
He told the interests and deliberately pretended to be incompetent. He drank and gambled all day long, deliberately letting Li Jiqian find out, confusing Li Jiqian to continue his life in Funing Village.
Seeing that Tian Renlang's plan was about to succeed, Wang Zhi came out.
He promptly reported to Zhao Kuangyi, saying that Tian Renlang came to Suizhou, only caring about enjoyment, fearing the enemy, and silently watching the three clan villages fall.
Not to mention Zhao Kuangyi, even Song Jiu couldn't figure it out, so he summoned him back to the capital for inquiries. Fortunately, Song Jiu thought about it carefully and thought that Tian Renlang was justified, but the battle had already begun at that time, so he had to transfer Tian Renlang to Hebei.
Maybe Tian Renlang's plan would be successful, so Wang Wei was not as simple as killing Yang Ye. It can be said that Wang Wei killed the Northern Song Dynasty.
It may not be successful, but no matter which time and space it is, it cannot be proved.
Why did Wang Qi do this? The reason is simple and he is at the top. But he is not a vegetarian either.
After replacing Tian Renlang, he immediately rushed towards Li Jiqian.
When Li Jiqian saw that the Song army was serious, he immediately retreated. However, Wang Fu did not pounce on Funing Village, but improved Tian Renlang's strategy. According to Tian Renlang's strategy, he was to fight decisively under Funing Village and ambush the troops in the rear.
Wang Fu's feint attack on Funingzhai, but in fact he concentrated all his troops and conquered the direction of Li Jiqian's retreat. Zhuolunchuan.
The two armies met and Li Jiqian was defeated. This was what made people criticized Song Jiu later. With this combat power, why should we send out more than 100,000 troops?
Li Jiqian lost more than 5,000 people, and his subordinates Zhe Yume and others were either killed in battle, captured, or surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
Li Jiqian did not dare to return to Yinzhou, so he fled directly to the northern part of Xiazhou, and joined forces with Jijia, Luo Ni and other troops, and Wuyi and Yueyi and other troops. Wang Wei led his troops to attack and killed the "Daizhou Governor" Zhe Luoyu and his younger brother Zhebeiqi. Then he went west from Kaiguang Valley to Xingziping and defeated Baosi. The leaders of the Baoxiang tribes buried Meyeri and defeated the Baoxi tribes, captured 3,000 people, and surrendered to 55 tribes. More than 3,000 chiefs of the three tribes, Zhebei, sent envoys to offer horses and apologize. So many Zhebei, right, they did have their family members, but they were not the direct family members of the Zhe family.
Guo Shouwen defeated the two clans of Jigalao Ni again.
Li Jiqian had no choice but to escape to the vast desert again.
At this time, he did something that made Song Jiu both afraid and lucky. He was defeated repeatedly, which made Li Jiqian finally wake up and sent an envoy to surrender to the Khitan.
But at this moment, the main army of the Song Dynasty finally arrived.
...
The Dali River flows eastward, and the clear river water passes through the river stones, making a crisp sound of tinging dong.
Before dawn, layers of fog rose up.
Not far from Hebei is the Yeli tribe.
In fact, the Song Dynasty did so much, and it was clear that it was a friend or an enemy for so long. If you still refused to surrender, it would be as Zhang Qixian said, unless you offered it to the Taimiao.
However, the Song Dynasty has been recruiting some security measures, which has weakened the results of this policy.
Just like Zhao Pu and Song Jiu fighting, there would not be many people responding to Song Jiu. On the contrary, there were many people who responded to Zhao Pu. That is, Zhao Pu went down. Song Qi and Li Fang also reported Zhao Pu's purpose and gave Song Jiu a pill from time to time. The strangest two of them were all beaten by Zhao Pu.
After all, this is the end of conquering people with virtue.
It was a bit sad. For example, when Song Jiu and Zhao Chengzong were the governor of Tanzhou, he had good political achievements. After Zhao Pu stepped down, Song Jiu still said honestly. Zhao Chengzong was considered a good official, so Zhao Chengzong's career was not hindered.
However, there may not be many friends, but there may be many enemies on the contrary.
The same is true in the northwest. Li Jiqian rebelled, and the court issued high officials and generous titles to recruit people several times. Anyway, loyal to the Song Dynasty is no different from those who rebel against the Song Dynasty. Why do you have to be loyal to the Song Dynasty? At least I can be both sides of the rat.
That's what the Yeli tribe is like.
Yin Xian sent her back to Yeli and signaled her to remarry, but Yeli tribe refused to listen.
They did not rebel, but they kept talking to Li Jiqian and took Song Jiu's blacklist in the morning. Although Song Jiu remembered not much history, they just remembered that the Yeli clan had released Queen Yeli and famous Western Xia generals such as Yeli Renrong, which became the most important driving force for the rise of Western Xia.
So this action took place.
A red line finally appeared on the horizon, and Yang Yanzhao, who was promoted to Suizhou Troupe Training Envoy, shouted: "Kill."
Six thousand Song soldiers rushed out of the mountains, stepped across the Dali River, and rushed towards the Yeli tribe.
In just a few days, most of the Yeli tribe was destroyed. Yang Yanzhao divided up some soldiers to escort the people and moved them to Hedong, Guanzhong, Henan, and other places. Then he ordered the surrounding tribes to cooperate with the Song army to sweep away the remaining tribes of the Yeli tribe, but the wealth and the people in the tribe would be used as spoils. They would divide them.
Only when blood and flowers are combined can loyalty be obtained.
If the large Yeli tribe was destroyed in the blink of an eye, the tribes were afraid and cooperated one after another. In less than a few days, the Yeli tribe's branch in Hengshan completely disappeared into the long river of history.
Larger military operations in the distance are just beginning.
After Yang Yanzhao destroyed the Yeli tribe, he led his army northward, from Youzhou to Baichi City, and then northward to Luotuo River. Wang Zhi and Li Jilong sent Dijinze from Huangyangping's troops, and the Zhe family and Yin Xian surrounded Dijinze from the two prefectures of Fulin. Wang Chengmei and his wife also dispatched 8,000 cavalry and entered the desert.
Tian Chongjin led his troops along the Heishui River to sweep the rear. The tribes that did not follow Li Jiqian's rebellion remained. As long as they were subordinates, they would move to the mainland even if they surrendered. As for the tribes that were still rebelling, they would be wiped out and dispersed, and they would be sent to the rear to build forts and forts and roads, and then to the rear, scattered south of Taiyuan to Henan and other areas.
This suppression lasted for nearly four months, killing more than 30,000 enemies, and sending more than 40,000 prisoners to the rear.
It even forced Li Jiqian to send an envoy to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
The surrender letter was sent to the capital, but Song Jiu disagreed and resolutely suppressed it to shock the entire northwest.
Moreover, the methods were extremely cruel this time, and the supply was too difficult to fight outside the ancient Great Wall. Therefore, the Song army adopted Song Jiu's strategy and just eat.
To suppress the various tribes, the people first divided the men, women, young and old, women and children first sent them to the rear, the strong men left behind the fort road, and the grain of each tribe was kept together for military food.
This policy aroused a lot of opposition, and Song Jiu refuted it with the battle of Dafeichuan.
Xue Rengui killed countless people in his life, but in Dafeichuan, he was confused and got the king's army, and the logistics of transported them from the rear to comfort the Tuyuhun people in Dafeichuan. As a result, under the leadership of Lunqinling, he used Guo Zhifeng to disagree with Xue Rengui, and used food and grass, and these Tuyuhun people who Xue Rengui wanted to comfort him. The 50,000 Tang troops and 50,000 civilians all fell, and a generation of famous generals begged for mercy and fled back in shame.
The Western Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, and the Huns were even very docile in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but that was defeated.
This is not right.
But it has reached this point, and everyone has no choice but to do anything about it.
In early September, with the repeated conquering and killing of the five major troops of the Song Dynasty, especially the strongest Wang family in Fengzhou and the Zhe family in Fuzhou, they were familiar with the terrain of Nanhetao. In addition, the few people in Hetao were dissatisfied with Li Jiqian's tribe, Li Jiqian finally couldn't stay in the desert. He could stay silent, but his subordinates had to eat and drink. Now the Song army almost made the entire Jinze area nearly a thousand miles away from the solid walls and clear the fields, and even the people were gone. Where can I eat and drink?
It happened that the Liao Dynasty sent the Minister Xiao Teli to enthrone Li Jiqian as the governor of Dingnan Army, Yinxia Suiyou and other states to observe and deal with the emperor, and specially promoted the Taishi to the chief rank and command the military affairs of Xiazhou, and Ji Chong as the deputy envoy.
Xiao Tri saw something wrong, and under his persuasion, Li Jiqian led his remaining troops to rush to Shunhuadu, trying to cross the Yellow River and flee from Yinshan to Khitan.
It happened to be learned by the scouts sent by Wang Chengmei that Wang Chengmei and Fengzhou leader Huang Luo led his army to intercept him, and Li Jilong led two thousand light cavalry to come from the rear.
Li Jiqian and his son, Zhang Pu and Li Daxin, Bo Chou and Chonghui Gui were all captured alive. Only Li Jichong and Xiao Terry broke through the siege and fled to the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Kuangyi followed Song Jiu's advice and took Li Jiqian and others to Xiazhou, and then cut his head in Xiazhou for public display.
A series of edicts were sent to the northwest. Because of the large number of prisoners of war, after the war, all of these forts and roads were repaired. The methods were still cruel. Under the custody of soldiers, there were almost no time or night to rush to work. Three riots occurred at one time and were suppressed one after another.
Now that the construction is over, the court issued an edict to return to its hometown, and the country exempted it from its three-year labor service. In addition, it was exempted from its taxes before, and almost all taxes were exempted together.
At the same time, the Fan Han people were encouraged to join forces with each other. The ethnic system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not easy to copy, but there were solutions. If the local Fan Han people had connected with each other, the state would reward five pieces of silk, five kilograms of cotton, and five kilograms of tea. This was also a bit of a spoof, and when I wrote a letter, it simply called the Three Five System.
The alliances of all ethnic groups were also made to formulate simple laws, not to deal with disputes and cases according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. After all, the situation was different. Instead, a law suitable for the northwest was formulated to use it to make standard judgments. Then, the territory was divided and all ethnic groups were ordered not to be revenge-killed.
Then, Lanzhou, Shizhou, Xinzhou, Daizhou, Fulin, Weizhou, Yuanzhou, Huanqing, Fuzhou and Danzhou were divided, and their green and white salts were allowed to be sold under the commercial law, and the imperial court only imposed a small amount of commercial tax.
However, in this battle, more than 100,000 troops were used and countless money was spent. The people were resettled, not slaughtered, and the materials were left to the frontline soldiers, and they were sent to the rear almost naked. The resettlement cost was also quite expensive.
It seems that Li Jiqian is so weak. Song Jiu mobilized the troops and killed more than 5,000 soldiers and spent astronomical money. Isn’t it a little too much?
Fortunately, when he caught Li Jiqian, he found the imperial edict of the Liao Kingdom, which gave Song Jiu some steps.
In addition, Song Jiu sent Zhang Qixian to the front to comfort him in time. Zhang Qixian's life was very legendary, but his ability may not be very clever. However, he was the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor and could suppress everyone. Although Zhang Qixian was far inferior to Lu Mengzheng, he was definitely much more clever than ordinary ministers and comforted him well. This also added points to Song Jiu.
However, that's it, many ministers impeached.
Zhang Qixian has not returned in front of him, so he has been there for at least a few years, but this is also a kind of investigation.
