Chapter 18 Heavy Snow Blocking Trip

It snowed heavily, and the troops of the Song army were advancing like Zhenrong. This kind of weather was the most unfavorable to marching. Seeing that the speed of the team's progress was getting slower and slower in the wind and snow, Wang's side ordered to camp,

A Malay newspaper reported that the defeated army in Xixia has withdrawn to Xixia in the same way,

"Haha, it's really fast." Tong Guan turned his eyes and said,

Wang didn't pay attention to their little movements. He and Yue Li were sitting by the stove in the tent. There was a game of chess between them sitting opposite each other. It was Yue Li's turn to play chess. He hesitated for a long time before he put down the son and said to Wang, "It seems that the civil strife in Xixia is more serious than we imagined."

"General Yue, if I take advantage of the victory, I'm afraid you will lose this game. You still care about the civil strife in Xixia." Wang put down a son and looked at Yue Li,

"Your Majesty, if you are determined to win, then I can only admit defeat. No more, admit defeat, this damn weather." Yue Li muttered and stood up,

"Look at you, I just lost a few sets and I won't do it." The king also stood up,

Tong Guan Zhe and the seed teacher saw that the two people got up and did not go out. The three of them came to the chessboard and said, "Dad." Tong Guan shouted to the king,

The king smiled and nodded. It was the most boring on the march. It was a little fun to have a chess piece to talk to the king, let alone these children.

A gust of wind blew into the tent, and Kejun and Zhang Ping came in from the outside.

"Your Highness, General Yue." When two people enter the door, they salute the two people next to the king first,

"Well, it's all settled down. Sit down and say it." Wang sat down by the table. A bodyguard immediately came forward and handed the hot tea that had just been hot to the king.

Several people sat down around the table and said, "We just summoned the generals and generals of each department. According to the orders of the prince and the general, we have ordered them to do a good job of preventing the cold for the soldiers. At present, there is still enough coal and grain. The prince and General Yue can rest assured that we are not afraid even if it snows for a few days. "

Yue Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't talk about it. It's just that the prince is bored and wants to catch my stinky man to relieve his boredom."

Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping also smiled. Yue Li looked at Wang and asked, "My lord, I can't see how happy you are when you win."

"It's meaningless to win with someone who is not as good as me. It's like Xixia people. It's ridiculous to see that we win, but we win in their own civil strife. It's ridiculous, alas."

Yue Li and others looked at each other. Wang Bian seemed to be very relaxed, but this kind of relaxation is just that he doesn't have to inquire about his son's news in the future, but he can't erase his guilt and regret in his heart. However, in front of everyone, even if Wang's heart is sad, he will hold his smile, not to mention that he is anxious in such weather. Zhao Yu kept urging him to return to the capital early, but Xixia has such a good opportunity. If he doesn't take it with one breath, I'm afraid it will be a hidden danger of the Song Dynasty in the future.

With a loud report, another detective horse walked into the camp: "Try to the prince, the bodies of several Xixia soldiers were found 20 miles ahead."

"Explore and report again."

After exploring the horse, Yue Li said, "It's freezing cold. I guess it's the injured Xixia soldiers."

Wang Nodded: "I guess it's the team led by Manchang who escorted Li Liangzuo's body back to Xixia. Zhang Ping, hasn't the people you sent come back yet?"

Zhang Ping was slightly stunned: "Yes, I also sent a team with the prince's order to release and follow them to Zhenrong. Are you also trapped in the snow? Why haven't you come?"

Zhe Kejun speculated: "Do you want to stay in Zhenrong and wait for us?"

Several people were talking, and someone came to report: "Your Majesty, 32 bodies of Western Xia soldiers were found 40 miles ahead."

"How did you die?" Wang began to feel that something was wrong,

"Some people have injuries on their bodies. These Xixia soldiers curled up together and seemed to freeze to death."

"Explore and report again. Come back. If you see it again, check it carefully."

I don't know why. It's not particularly strange that several or dozens of corpses appeared after a war, but the closer these corpses are to Zhenrong, the more they are. Wang's side vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, when I came to the horse report again, hundreds of bodies of Xixia soldiers were found 60 or 70 miles ahead, and according to the soldiers' reports, these Xixia soldiers were heavier than what they had seen before, and they seemed to come from the direction of Zhenrong,

It has been snowing for two days, and the snow is almost reaching the calf joint. Although according to Zhe Kejun's estimation, the food and fodder must be enough for some time, Wang's side began to be anxious. This kind of weather not only delayed the best time to attack, but also more and more corpses in front of him began to make Wang a little uneasy.

This kind of uneasiness is more or less a pity. Maybe it is my little selfishness that made these Xixia freeze to death in the ice and snow. There is also some anxiety. I don't know how the usual situation is, and the soldiers I sent out. Why is there no news at all?

If the snow doesn't stop, it will become a snowstorm. Even if the snow stops, it is very difficult to move forward. A detective horse came in sweating and reported, "Your Majesty, two or three hundred corpses of Western Xia soldiers were found a hundred miles ahead."

The king frowned even more tightly. In this way, the Song army had a war with these Xixia army in front of them. These Xixia troops basically had no room to fight back. What's more, it was Zhenrong less than 200 miles ahead. These people should have crossed the Zhenrong border and returned to Xixia Huizhou. What happened in front of them? ,

Xixia soldiers retreated in two parts, one of which was the group to be released by the king's side, and the other part rushed back to Luzhouzhai with Fangdang and some generals of Xixia. Of course, Fangdang is just an inner minister around Li Liangzuo. If no one secretly supports and no one in the army cooperates, no matter what How could he not do the matter of killing Li Liangzuo and blaming Manba's father and son? This time, Li Liangzuo sent troops to the Song Dynasty. In addition to Manba's father and son, there were several deputy generals, one of whom was called Shangba,

The reward surname was first given because of the reward. In the Song Dynasty, this surname has become the national surname of Xixia. Of course, the surname can also illustrates a kind of glory to a certain extent, but this glory rarely illuminates the official career of Shangba. On the contrary, for many years, he was still a deputy general. Finally, he summed it up. There was a stumbling block in front of him. Fortunately, the prime minister and queen appreciated him and gave him such a good opportunity to make contributions.

The cooperation with Fang Dang is still good. The timing they chose is also correct, but it seems that God does not care for them. They have just been happy that the king has entered the Xixia camp alone. They can kill Li Liangzuo and blame the father and son of the Man family, and catch the commander of the Song army by the way. This is It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but they never thought that Wang Bing was too brave, let alone that the leader of Feilongyuan, who was not good at words around the emperor, and the hundreds of close soldiers of Feilongyuan, would play a decisive role in the critical moment.

This time, Shangba really became a temporary general. In order to stabilize the army's heart, Shangba promoted and appointed some generals, and finally stabilized the Xixia Army, which was in a little confused. Now they have to consider returning to Xixia as soon as possible to preserve their strength, not to see the Xixia army slithing when it came, but Under the leadership of Shangba, it was like a wolf. Although the fleeing Xixia army was greatly frustrated in Luzhou Village, Shangba and Fangdang were still lucky that the Song army did not catch up, which made them return to Xixia in a hurry.

Although Shang Ba and Fang Dang cried bitterly and were ashamed of not being able to bring back Li Liangzuo's body, the generous queen Liang Luoyao still forgave them. The country could not be without a king for a day. Xixia Huizong Li Bingchang succeeded to the throne. Because he was too young, Liang Luoyao listened to the government and buried the power of Xixia with Liang Yi, the prime minister of the country.

However, Liang Luoyao, who listened to the government, began to worry. The handover war between Xiping Mansion and Tubo continued. The army of the Song Dynasty was also attacking Xiazhou at the same time. Even Huizhou was in an emergency. The troops next to the king had been deployed to Zhenrong and could send troops at any time. Liang Luoyao gritted her teeth and scolded the king, while sending rewarding Pakistani soldiers to support it in three ways. Three important places; at the same time, they quickly sent people to Liaoning to move rescue troops,

Xixia is a vassal of Liao. Although the people of Xixia are staring at the Central Plains, they dare not provoke the people of Liao. In front of Liao, Xixia is an honest child who has been wronged, and Liang Luoyao pretends to be a poor person who claims to be an orphan or widow. The so-called rescuers is nothing more than the relationship that Liao can lend troops to the king. Please ask Liao to come forward to resolve the war,

Since the State of Liao has calmed down the Luanhe Rebellion, the weather has been smooth in recent years. Wang Fang asked Liao to give a mortgage to Goryeo through food stamps. Over the years, the profits have made Yelu Hongji tasted the benefits. He does not have to worry about internal and external troubles, and the governance of the country is Wuyou Xiao Ying, Wen Youxinzan, and Yelu Hongji is the most free. Live these years happily,

If the emperor feels happy, he must be too lazy to deal with the government. Although the queen Xiao Guanyin is beautiful and touching, after all, she likes to remind Yelu Hongji of a few words that he doesn't like to hear, so after a long time, Yelu Hongji slowly alienated Xiao Guanyin. In terms of beauty and talent, the concubine is absolutely not as good as Xiao Guanyin. But Shan Deng will not nagging in front of Yelu Hongji, nor will he persuade Yelu Hongji to be a wise king and concentrate on political affairs.

Drinking and having fun every day, Yelu Hongji is very free. Of course, he occasionally misses the king's side. Whenever he is happy, he mentions the matter on the Shuangta Mountain. Shandeng listened tirelessly while smiling, and said from time to time, "The emperor's wise gods can help him, and everything will turn bad luck into good luck. Chengxiang in the face of death.

How can Yelu Hongji be unhappy with such a talking concubine? It's a pity that the king was born in the Song Dynasty. If the king of Liao is not only the king of Zhennan, Shandeng has something that Yelu Hongji likes, that is, to help Yelu Hongji find a beautiful woman, which is even more than Xiao. Guanyin always advised Yelu Hongji to be close to women, which seemed to make Yelu Hongji feel that Shandeng was more intimate and more considerate.
