Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Ge Yanei's Games

It is said that on the day Li Yuanhao received the letter, he stared to the north for a long time, with a very indifferent expression on his face, but a lot of movements in his hands.He touched his nose again and again. It's not that he has the same problem with Mr. Wu Sangui, the later Pingxi king of the Qing Dynasty, that he would kill if he touches his nose, but that he really wants to teach his brother-in-law a traditional lesson.The people of the Liao Kingdom were fighting against the Dangxiang people, so be careful that everyone would go home with big faces. Life is unnecessary, keep your nose!

It's just that I really can't get angry, the situation is stronger than people, and it's dangerous now.In the past, he was the one who led the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Song Dynasty, but now the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are standing together, and if they really want to fight, the party members don't even have the confidence to survive, and they will be beaten back to their prehistoric state in an instant.But is it enough to give in? Really succumbing, he is the biggest joke in the history of Northwest hegemony.Without any swords or guns, just a word from the emperor of Liao Kingdom, the emperor of Xixia collapsed...how can people look at him?Also, if he stopped at this point, the years of war would bring him no benefit other than wear and tear.

The Liao Kingdom restrained him, and the Song Dynasty was hostile to him, and made a big fuss on the frontier.No money, no robbery, he will lose everything.What should I do?How to deal with such a situation so that the Liao Kingdom can be settled and even regain its advantage? There must be an advantage, otherwise the Great Xia Kingdom that was built so hard before will be nothing! This is a problem that anyone who wants to make history has to face.As for the solution, please make your vision blurry.Whether it is the great Tang Dynasty or the European and American powers in modern times, no country can achieve purity, greatness, fraternity, or even civilization.In the initial accumulation stage of capital, everyone has stains on them.

For example, the Tang Dynasty surrendered to the Turks at the beginning, such as the overseas colonial behavior of European and American powers, and even Lenin signed the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty" with Germany immediately after the victory of the October Revolution.According to the treaty, Soviet Russia compensated Germany with 6 billion marks, ceded 1.267 million square kilometers of land, 26% of railways, 33% of factories and 75% of coal mines, and lost 46 million residents. This is the necessary compromise. The same is true of Li Yuanhao in 1042 AD.He first took out a large number of treasures and sent someone to send them to Yelu Zongzhen.Everything goes without saying, I'm sorry for your sister, and you, forgive me once and for all?

Well, this is what Yeluzong really wanted.As long as you take out the money and give in, just like the Song Dynasty, I will be satisfied. Then Li Yuanhao quietly assembled his troops to the southeast, and the situation required him to have a major and decisive victory.Only in this way can he continue to suppress the Song Dynasty and even demonstrate to the Liao Kingdom. Only he and Xixia have the right to survive. At this time, there is a question, does the Song Dynasty know about this situation?Li Yuanhao has reached a critical point and must win.So the victory was won by the Song Dynasty?What a tempting guess.I bet, I bet personally, the Song Dynasty must know.

Because it is staffed on Northwest Jingyuan Road. For the other three groups, the original leaders remain unchanged, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Pang Ji.Only the most dangerous Jingyuan Road has been replaced from top to bottom. Its leading idea has never been seen before. It is the special attack team directly under the Central Committee. The envoy Wang Yan and his deputy both deployed Ge Huaimin to appease and recruit.These two people are extraordinary, especially the latter. He is the first direct-line general of the imperial army sent by the central department in the Song Dynasty after the Northwest Campaign started. He is completely different from the previous Liu Ping and Ren Fu.Both Liu and Ren were old frontier guards. Although they held some titles as forbidden soldiers, they had never entered Kaifeng City, and the emperor had never met them.

Ge Huaimin was different, his father was Ge Ba, a famous general during the reign of Zhenzong.Well-born, according to the custom in the army, this is really an ideal belt, the object of which is to be tied to a beautiful skirt.He did it, and that dress was the most perfect in Zhenzong and Renzong dynasties. It was the daughter of Wang Chao, the former commander of the Northeast Military Region, and the younger sister of the super famous general Wang Deyong. This kind of relationship made him feel like a fish in water in the army, and he had close contact with any kind of leader.Including Emperor Zhao Zhen.And that's exactly what he's capable of.Note that from ancient times to the present, when people talk about the second-generation ancestors from all walks of life, especially the young masters in the army, they are very disdainful, thinking that they are all a bunch of scum, who have no ability, and are arrogant. His father's military exploits and various war injuries are his shining points.

In a word, trash! But beware, this bunch of scumbags are superhuman on the other hand.It is in front of the elders with the father, they have another face.At that time they were cute, innocent, polite and thoughtful, and they were motivated.Absolutely they are all moldable successors of the new generation.Ge Huaimin is like this. Song history records that he "knows current affairs and is kind to people, so he is recommended by his talents." Everyone recommended him, and finally even the emperor looked at him differently.Not only sent him to the battlefield, but also gave him a military sacred object before leaving.It was an honor that no one had ever obtained before. It was the armor left by the famous general Cao Wei, who was invincible on the Northwest battlefield and known as the nemesis of the Dangxiang and Tubo races.

May you be as powerful as Cao Wumu in the Northwest, deter Xixia, and defeat Li Yuanhao! This is Zhao Zhen's expectation for Ge Huaimin.Afterwards, general history books directly wrote about his performance on the Northwest battlefield, but wait a moment and check carefully, and you will find that his first stop after arriving in the Northwest was not on Jingyuan Road, but went to Gyeongju.This is an extra thoughtfulness, and I want him to be tutored by the most caring and tolerant old comrade Fan Zhongyan in the safest place, so that he can adapt to the environment as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Fan Zhongyan sent him on his way very quickly. He didn't show any kindness to Di Qing at all. Before leaving, he gave a five-character comment - "Cunning and cowardly, I don't know how to be a soldier." , how to fight. In this way, Ge Yanei came to Jingyuan Road. The terrain here is flat and there is no danger to defend. It is the most dangerous area in the northwest. Let's talk about Wang Yan.Looking at his resume, he is an authentic civil servant, and his main achievement is water control.He has achieved great results in this area. He introduced the Xiang, Wei, Xing, and Zhao water systems into the Tianping, Jingyou and other canals, irrigating tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.But does this have anything to do with fighting?Why is he asked to guard the most dangerous defense zone and fight the most critical battle at this critical juncture?

There is no reason.But please refer to Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Pang Ji, have they ever fought?Let alone practice, before the war in the Northwest, these three bigwigs didn't even have a theoretical foundation.On this point, Wang Yan is even higher than them, because he is familiar with "Spring and Autumn"... Yes, it is a hobby with Guan Erge.To sum up, let's return to a peaceful state of mind, and don't look at the results and say the reason. That would be unfair. Wang Yan and Ge Huaimin cannot completely deny them from the beginning. We can only say that the Song Dynasty made a small mistake in principle.Take Han Qi as an example. He grew up in actual combat. After the defeat of Hao Shuichuan, he became rational and calm.Based on this, unless Wang Yan's talent is far higher than Han Qi's, why can he do better than Han Qi at that time? This is a probabilistic analysis. In terms of details, Wang Yan worked hard. After he took office, he started to build the city like Fan Zhongyan. He chose to build Xiguan City five miles away from Weizhou City, and stationed a large number of troops there.This is really a happy trouble, who made him have more soldiers?Northwest Fourth Road, Jingyuan Road has the most troops, reaching 70,000. If they confronted Li Yuanhao's corps of hundreds of thousands at every turn, they would no longer have the embarrassment of one against ten in the two wars.The time is approaching the second year of Qingli in Song Dynasty, the leap September in 1042 A.D., and the time to decide the fate of the country is coming again. When the war started, the first step proved to be that the Song Dynasty had the upper hand. It was almost the same as usual. Once again, they "knew" the date of Xixia's action in advance, and they were able to actively choose the way to fight. Wang Yan ordered Ge Huaimin to lead his troops to meet the enemy. According to the usual practice, the battle plan and marching route were predetermined for him—Wating Village.This place is the limit of the Song army's advance. It looked very rational, and even left an explanation for the failure of the Song Army later. Like Ren Fu, it was Ge Huaimin's disobedience to the orders of the civil servants that caused the big defeat.But I am afraid to be serious about everything. Just look up the ancient maps a little, and you will know that Wang Yan is a lunatic, or the writer of the history book treats the readers of future generations as fools. Watingzhai is located parallel to the Haoshuichuan line where the last fierce battle on Jingyuan Road was, and it is the hinterland of the Song Dynasty area. Back then, Han Qi asked Ren Fu to take the initiative to retreat in order to let Li Yuanhao's main force in.At this time, Wang Yan not only wanted the army to take the initiative to attack, but also fixed the limit of the attack at the hinterland. Is this the wisdom of the decision maker, or is he playing the former enemy commander? ! Ge Yanei, who is well-informed and has a strong background, is very cooperative. Wherever you want me to be, I will go there.But when we get there, let's talk about it.The general will not be accepted by the king, let alone you, a real layman, want to control a generation of generals who are of a good breed like me?At Watingzhai, Ge Huaimin recruited elite soldiers from all over Jingyuan Road, ordered all the surrounding generals to quickly approach him, and immediately assigned a new task. Xu Sichun, the owner of the original village of Wating Village, and Liu He, the governor of Xinhuanqing, used more than 5,000 Tibetan soldiers as the left wing, and Tiansheng Village advocated that you should be the queen, and moved forward with this lineup.After arriving at Wugukou, Cao Ying, the chief general of the Zhenrong Army, the strongest military stronghold on Jingyuan Road, Zhao Xun, the capital supervisor, and Li Liangchen and Meng Yuan, the inspectors of the Western Capital, all joined the brigade one after another. Ge Huaimin's troops exceeded the limit given to him by Wang Yan. Waiting for the enemy in the hinterland area of ​​Watingzhai can only be regarded as defense, but defense gathers the surrounding forces in a dense manner. What is the intention of this? Concentrate troops and attack, no matter where the location is, what he wants is a decisive battle of the group army. Under the decision of this line of thinking, the Song army marched towards the border with Xiang Jin and Liu Zhan, the inspectors along the border, as the vanguard, and Zhao Yu controlled the reserve team as reinforcements.At this time, their position is safe, and they have not crossed the most important stronghold, Rongjun City.But the chief general Ge Huaimin became impatient, he was not satisfied with the speed of the march, the army replenished supplies before the battle in Anbian Village, and before the loading was completed, he led the army out impatiently.After crossing the Zhenrong army and entering the combat area, his urgency reached a limit. He left behind a large group of troops and rushed forward with only more than 100 cavalry.I really don't know what he is going to do.Could it be that some god in the dark hinted at him that Li Yuanhao was dancing and singing not far ahead, just waiting for him to rush over and chop him off?What a joke, the following scene is even more spoof, running, a small officer under him, Zhao Zheng, suddenly said to him, General, if we run any further, we will meet the Xixia people, we have to stop. ah?stop?Oh... well, stop it.And so he stops!What are you running for? ! After Ge Huaimin stopped, all the units of the Song Army also stopped one after another.He himself entered Yangmacheng, and Cao Ying, Li Zhihe, Wang Bao, Wang Wen, Li Yue, the governor of Zhenrong, and Zhao Lin, the inspector of the West Road, all gathered six miles west of Zhenrongjun City.After that, Song Jun's dynamics became very rational, but also super stupid. They go out to patrol the city during the day and return to the city to defend themselves at night. This doesn't seem to be a problem, does it?So it's sensible.But look at when and how long you've been doing it! It's a full 3 days... 3 days, they are as leisurely as going out in the countryside in peacetime.For God's sake, this is the scariest thing on the battlefield, you don't know what your enemy is doing, you just have to wait for the results! After 3 days, these generals finally couldn't bear it anymore, they rushed to Yangma City together to meet Ge Huaimin, Lord General, what on earth are we doing here, just idle around like this?Facing the questioning, Ge Huaimin remained calm like a god of war. Gentlemen, be quiet, I just got the latest information, Li Yuanhao has finally appeared, he will cross the boundary trench tomorrow, we will fight immediately! General Ge's battle plan is the most correct, the most classic, and the most widely used.He divided his troops into four groups, using Liu Zhan, Xiang to enter and leave Xishuikou, Zhao Xun to leave Lianhua Fort, Cao Ying to leave Liufan Fort, and he himself sent the Chinese army out of Dingxi Fort to challenge Xixia. She really deserves to be a descendant of a famous family who has a deep understanding of all the battles of the Song Dynasty.Didn't Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong divide their forces every time they attacked the Dangxiang people and Khitan people?So he did the same.But in the small Jingyuan Road, and then condensed to a small area in contact with the enemy, is it necessary for you to make such a fuss? Someone objected at that time, and it was Zhao Xun.History has proved that this is a sensible person, not to say that he is superb, but at least his mind is clear.He asked Ge Huaimin, general, do you know who is the landlord and who is the outsider? Ok?What's the meaning? very simple.Zhao Xun said that Li Yuanhao had traveled a long way to enter our territory. He had a large number of people and was full of vigor, so he was very difficult to deal with.But this is also his Achilles' heel. When there are too many people, he needs to eat, drink, and provide food. We dragged him, set up defenses in Malan City, and kept the food roads unobstructed in the Zhenrong Army. After a long time, they will not be able to hold on. That's when we won.But if he went up to fight at this time... He looked at his colleagues around him, and his expression became very dark. — We shall be slaughtered clean (must be slaughtered by thieves). History has proved that this was the first turning point in the battle of Dingchuanzhai. If the Song army obeyed, this battle that determined the fate of Xixia would have a completely different result. But reality is always funnier than speculation.The scene after this sentence is very interesting. What kind of reaction did the officers present have?Fear, attention or disgust?It is estimated to be the last one, disgust.War is a matter of licking blood with the knife head, and the most important thing is auspiciousness. General Zhao has become a crow's mouth, why don't you spit a few times to eliminate the disaster? In the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the famous generals in Shuaisili on Jingyuan Road lost all their casualties. Now this group of people were transferred in to supplement them. This is especially the case with General Ge Huaimin. Who is he? After a famous family, he is the most prominent person in the Song Dynasty army at this time!With nearly 70,000 soldiers in hand, how could it be possible to hide in the city like a shrinking animal and let the enemy be arrogant? 70,000, what a terrifying number. Since the super battle "Battle of Chanyuan" in the Zhenzong Dynasty, no one in the Song Dynasty had such a huge military force, including the famous general Cao Wei, who was in the "Sandu Valley" Zhan also only had 30,000 people, but he had already defeated Li Lizun, causing violent turbulence in the power level of Tubo in the Hehuang tribe, and only after that did a generation of Zanpu Jisila appear. So what about Ge Huaimin at this time?Unprecedented troops, coupled with huge family honor, there is no reason not to fight, no reason not to win! So the Song Army went out to fight, and it was a night attack. Cao Ying, Li Zhihe and his troops were the most powerful of the Song Army's four routes, and they set off early.It was a peaceful night. After dawn, Ge Huaimin was about to set off when he suddenly received a battle report. Liu Zhan and Xiangjin's troops in the direction of Xishuikou first fought with the Xixia people. They were defeated and retreated to the Xiangjiaxia area. Ge Huaimin immediately gathered his troops and approached Liu Zhan and Xiangjin, and wanted to eat this group of enemy soldiers first in Xiangjiaxia.At this time, the battle report came again. Note that the intelligence work of the Song Army, which suffered the most and was the most incompetent in the previous two wars, seemed to have suddenly improved. Both the investigative power and the notification speed were super fast. Time and time again, Ge Huaimin, the first brother in the battlefield, flocked from all directions, keeping him very busy. The battle report this time is that the main force of the Xixia people has been discovered. It is not the one that defeated Liu Zhan and the others at all, but has just crossed the boundary trench from the position of Dingchuanzhai and is advancing towards my hinterland. What are you waiting for?With Ge Huaimin's order, all troops marched out, and immediately notified all the troops in the battle zone to quickly assemble to Dingchuan village. There is the main battlefield, and they must arrive within a time limit! The super smooth communication ability worked again, and Ge Huaimin's orders spread in all directions in the theater, and they were delivered to the chief generals of each Song army on time.The effect was very good. Except for Liu Zhan and Xiang Jin's troops who were unable to reach their positions during the retreat, the entire Song army, including Ge Huaimin's Chinese army, rushed to Dingchuan village at a very fast speed. They go in. It wasn't until this time that Xixia's main army showed up. Their first move was not to challenge, but to appear far to the west of Dingchuan Village, cutting off the upstream water source... The army of the Song Dynasty was astonishing. There are so many, so many people gathered together so obediently, and then cut off the water source and destroy the bridge. Only after this series of tricks are used, will we know how well the Song Army's investigation work is in place. Completely became Li Yuanhao's inner ghost! Ge Huaimin's wish has come true, he wants a decisive battle, and the decisive battle has come.Unless he wants to die of thirst and starve to death in Dingchuan Village, he has to rush out, then he can show all his bravery and super excellent warrior DNA. Facing a desperate situation, Ge Huaimin's tactics are very subtle. He didn't put on the aura of a desperate battle at the beginning, but first... how to sum up this word?To test, or to seek death? It's hard to say! The Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty had always had Fan cavalry soldiers. They were composed of local Qiang, Dangxiang, Tubo and other attached ethnic groups. They were powerful fighters and were the top fighters in the Song Army.Generally speaking, such elite forces will only be used at the most critical moment, which is definitely not the beginning of the war, but the stalemate stage after mutual consumption. It is used to decide the victory in a decisive battle, and it is the final word. General Ge is quite different. At the beginning of the battle of Dingchuanzhai, he sent out 5,000 Fan cavalry. 5,000 people, no matter how powerful they are, what role can they play?Here is a carefully searched figure, which can be compared to how different General Ge is, which is the total number of troops Li Yuanhao has set out for this expedition. Unfortunately, this cannot be obtained in "History of Western Xia". "History of Western Xia" and the entire Dangxiang family were destroyed by the angry Mongols, because after a hundred years, their spirit of brown sugar actually killed Genghis Khan, the most powerful military man in mankind. , It really made the Mongols gnash their teeth.So you can only find it in "Song History". The total force is 100,000. 5,000 versus 100,000, do you think everyone is Zhao Kuangyin?The result can only be a big defeat.At the beginning of the war, the Song Army not only lost the elite combat power of its own troops, but also severely damaged its morale.At this time, Ge Huaimin sent an order for the whole army to go out of the stronghold and line up to meet the enemy! To the east of the gate of the village, Ge Huaimin led the Chinese army to line up, and beside him, to the northeast, was Cao Ying, the leader of the Zhenrong Army.The battle formation is tight and the source of soldiers is large, at least about 60,000.Note that the comparison of troops at this time is not 60,000 vs. 100,000, but probably 60,000 vs. 70,000, because from the development of the battle later, it can be seen that Li Yuanhao did not bet all his main forces on this place. But have other plans. How favorable the situation is to Song Jun. From Liu Ping to Ren Fu, no one has such treatment. It is actually a one-to-one contest, not one-to-ten anymore!What's funny is that with such strength and desperate to break out of the encirclement, the troops are actually on the defensive, and the main attack is actually Xixia's side. The Xixia people approached Ge Huaimin immediately.They directly attacked the Song Army's central army, just to kill your chief general.According to historical records, they sent elite troops.As mentioned earlier, the elite soldiers of the Xixia people are iron harriers, similar to the iron pagodas of the later Jin Kingdom. It is conceivable that the advantage of using this kind of armored heavy cavalry to attack the infantry group can be imagined. But after several times in a row, the Song army's lineup was not chaotic. It seemed that it was not easy, but they resisted?Nonsense, 60,000 people fought in two battles, the main general was surrounded by at least 40,000 people, and he collapsed after a few shocks. Is it really tofu?Li Yuanhao's true colors appeared, this man never used brute force, of course, his brute force was not enough. He changed direction and started attacking Cao Ying.At this time, strange things happened. Excuse me, are there really ghosts and gods in this world?Or, is there really someone who was reincarnated by ghosts and gods?Otherwise, how could he use such a strange way to win over and over again? Suddenly, "the black wind rises from the northeast", the violent wind was actually black, and it blew straight towards the Song Army's position.The Xixia army attacked with the wind, and the Song army collapsed in a blink of an eye!Reading the history here, I am really speechless. Let me predict it in advance. In the future, when it is another critical moment related to the life and death of Dangxiang, Li Yuanhao will still be helped by the strange wind. At that time, the comparison of military strength in eastern Asia will be due to That war changed. How did it all happen?Is it really like what is said in the book, there is such an expert as Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng?And has been hiding in Li Yuanhao's army? These are all idle conjectures. The collapse of the Song Army came without warning. From top to bottom, all the generals and soldiers were at a loss.The troops scrambled to retreat to Dingchuan Village, and the party members took the opportunity to shoot arrows at random. Cao Ying, the leader of the Song Army, was shot in the face and fell in the trench. The Song army in the northeast was completely in chaos, and it also affected Ge Huaimin's central army.The soldiers who had just arrived on Jingyuan Road rushed to the gate of the village with Cao Ying's troops. The scene of chaos was terrible, but the second safe turning point of the Song army's battle also appeared at the same time. ——Ge Huaimin fell in the crowd, trampled on by his subordinates, "ravaged to death".Damn it, if he dies, the Song army will only fail, and there will be no subsequent annihilation of the entire army. But what is strange is that this person's vitality is so tenacious.Immortal, I am immortal, my historical mission has not been completed yet! After Ge Huaimin woke up, he was suddenly in a brave state, probably because he stepped on it very painfully, which finally made him angry.He yelled loudly, awakening the surrounding chaos, and then sent out his personal guards, thousands of swords rushed towards the gate of the village.The Xixia people must be cut back! At the juncture of life and death, the recruits of the Song Dynasty were angry. It happened that Zhao Xun also led his troops to arrive, and the Xixia people were finally repelled after hacking. At this time, a little summary, the battlefield is temporarily calm, the Song army's big defeat has been formed, the most important thing is that all the people retreated crazily, scrambling to run into the stockade, even the commander was almost trampled to death, such an army still has the courage to break through ? Yes, at least Ge Huaimin has.The first brother on the battlefield has finally fought, the scene is a bit chaotic, but very exciting, his state has just been awakened!This person has been staying at the forefront of the army, saying that he will not return to the camp, but he has no specific instructions or actions.Anyway, just don't go. He didn't go back to the office until Zhao Xun came to invite him several times. After returning, no one saw him appear again.It was the seventeenth day of the ninth month in 1042 AD.From the night of this day, for a total of 10 days, the Song army completely shrank in the Dingchuan village...that very "professional" defense.As for the Xixia side, they were bored and hadn't attacked all the time. They didn't record how they lived during the day. At night, they went to Dingchuan village to sing. Sing it directly to the great leader of the Song Army, the wise General Ge - aren't you a great expert in map research in the deployment hall?You are really good at stationing troops, and you have settled directly in our encirclement circle, what do you want to do now? Every Song army actually knew what to do, and there was only one way to survive, and that was to rush out.There is no point in staying here.There will never be any rescuers.Mr. Sima Guang, a serious historian, once recorded this period of history, "On October 1st, the envoys deployed Huaimin, Qian Xiazhi and Yijia 70,000 out of Tunwating." The entire Jingyuan Road people are here!What so many people eat and drink every day is a huge number, not to mention just a border post Dingchuanzhai, even Weizhou City can't bear this kind of consumption.What's more, when Ge Huaimin went to battle, he ran like crazy, and he didn't even have enough time to replenish supplies, and he didn't bring enough food and grass. Time demands that he must make a quick decision and run away.This is the most obvious truth, everyone understands it, why doesn't Ge Huaimin understand it?Why did he have to wait until 10 days before deciding whether to break through? As it turns out, that wasn't stupid, it was just too smart. At dusk on the 10th day, Ge Huaimin raised his tent, and he called all the generals over, so Cao Ying, Li Zhihe, Wang Bao, Zhao Xun, Wang Wen, Xu Sichun, Liu He, Li Liangchen, Zhao Yu and other large A lot of people came. Here we come, let's think together (collegiate), what should we do next? Speechless, he is finally democratic. At the beginning, he acted arbitrarily and threw everyone into a trap. Now he needs to make a decision. Finally, he can listen to other people's words, which is a good thing. Everyone was very excited, and they all talked about the way of life in their minds.Basically 80% of the people have the same idea, to go to the army.It was the strongest stronghold on Jingyuan Road of the Song Army. Not only could it be defended, but it also had enough food and grass. As long as they got there, they could not only survive, but also continue to fight. Ge Huaimin was very happy, this is what he thought of.But wait, there is one objection. Zhao Xun, he put forward another idea, which seemed very biased at the time, but history will prove afterwards that he was right again.At the same time, this is also the third and last chance of the Song Army's Dingchuan Village Battle. ——Let's break through to Longgan City, don't go to suppress the army, although it is strong, there are two fatal dangers.First, the Xixia people have known its meaning for a long time, and they must have been aiming at it; second, that is the way we came from. After so many days, the water source has been cut off. Distress! The cage city is different, "there is no danger, and there will be no surprises." Li Yuanhao didn't expect that we would go that way, which is the most important thing. Looking at the map, Cagegan City, Zhenrong Army, and Yangmulong City are almost all on a parallel line. This line is the Haoshuichuan of the second battle of the Song and Xia Wars.In contrast, starting from Dingchuanzhai, it is closer to the Zhenrong Army, and it is a straight line, and it is a bit farther to go to Longgan City. This is the gap.On the surface, if he listened to Zhao Xun, Ge Yanei's honorable feet would have to walk a few more steps. But this is a war, not a trip. If Li Yuanhao doesn't cut off the Song Army's possible retreat within 10 days, is he the eagle of the party, or the pig of Xixia? ! The question is so simple, Zhao Xun waited with great enthusiasm for the coach's order to agree, and then everyone rushed out together by night.Not to mention 60,000 to 70,000 elite soldiers, even 60,000 to 70,000 fat pigs running wildly at midnight, no one can stop them.But wait and wait, General Ge just doesn't speak, he hesitates, hesitates again, wants everyone to speak again, discuss again, I have to think again... Actually, from the dusk of the previous day, I thought of the dawn of the next day. No decision made! Zhao Xun was angry, and he pulled out his knife suddenly. The generals present were all startled, thinking that he was going to chop Ge Yanei.But Zhao Xun is a qualified professional soldier. He drew his sword and slashed at his finger. If we don't break through, we will all die. Why do we need this hand? ! Everyone swarmed up to hold him back, and at this moment Ge Huaimin finally made a decision.Come on, let's break through now, the goal - Zhenrong Army!No one is allowed to object or comment, let's go immediately! Therefore, all the soldiers on Jingyuan Road in the Song Dynasty had to go out of the stronghold to break out of the encirclement and escape for their lives in broad daylight and at dawn when the weather was crisp and clear in the midsummer of September.History has not given the answer, why did General Ge choose this time? Not in the middle of the night, not in the middle of the day, you must make troubles during the time when Xixia people have a good night's sleep, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and it is very suitable for exercise?Can anyone explain why this is? What happened next was even more strange. It was so ridiculous that people couldn't help but ask Ge Huaimin, what's your mother's name?That's what he did. When the cock crowed, he gave the order to break out of the siege, but don't worry, he went out in person again, and said to the soldiers, pay attention, it's all his soldiers and horses. ——We are about to break through, everyone, don't mess up, only when you hear the drums of the Chinese army, you can act! The order is strict. After all, 70,000 people are still understandable.But how does he do it?When he went back to divide the troops and send generals, the generals were given tasks, such as Cao Ying and Zhao Xun as the vanguard, Liu He and Xu Sichun as the left and right wings, and Li Zhihe, Wang Bao and Wang Wendian as the rear. . Then at Mao time, that is, around 5-7 o'clock in the morning, he suddenly got out of the tent and mounted his horse, and ordered the generals to break out with him. Immediately, a soldier woke up with a start, rushed forward, and pulled his horse. He was doing the most shameless move of a soldier, abandoning his soldiers and fleeing privately!It is recorded in the history books that Ge Huaimin was pulled back at that time, and he had no choice but to stop.But instead of returning the bill, he was very clever and continued to give orders. He ordered the army staff officer Guo Jing and several commanders to raise food and grass, prepare all the supplies in Dingchuan Village, and take them all out.This move won the hearts of the people, and the soldiers immediately saw hope.The Lord General is going to take us away with us. He did this because he was afraid that we would not have anything to eat. But the joy was too early, before Guo Jing and others came back, Ge Huaimin suddenly got on the horse for the second time, and he still had to leave.At this time, the soldiers rushed up again and pulled his horse again.Ge Huaimin's ugly face completely appeared, he first scolded sharply, but no one listened, the army is like this, you are a kind, we will obey you as a soldier, you are a scum, be careful of stabbing you in the back. But the incident happened suddenly, Ge Huaimin suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at the soldier pulling the horse.How brave he was to use such a trick, he got rid of his soldiers and "rushed" out of Dingchuan village. The moment he left the village gate, Ge Huaimin must have been extremely happy.He succeeded, no matter how many people laughed at him in history and at that time, it took a whole night to make a decision to break through, and he couldn't hide his recognition of himself. He is really a smart guy. This night of thinking, he used it to figure out how to save his life.History has left the incident process and figures, through which we can clearly analyze what he thinks.The process of the incident has been explained earlier, the number is how many soldiers he brought out in total. There are 14 generals in command of the army, including him, 9,400 soldiers, and more than 400 horses. 70,000 people, no more than 5,000 died in the battle before, and nearly 10,000 were brought out at this time, leaving nearly 60,000 people in Dingchuan Village.This is a huge number. For Li Yuanhao, who has besieged the enemy for 10 days, it should be a big achievement that cannot be refused, and he must eat it no matter what! As for the 10,000 who escaped, since ancient times, hitting the head and the tail, releasing the fastest rushing forward, and cutting off the large troops behind, has been the most commonly used winning tactic in wars. 10,000 vs. 60,000, and it is still a natural choice to pursue, intercept and continue to besiege. Which one is more profitable? There is no doubt that the Xixia people will let Ge Huaimin go and eat Dingchuan village. In this way, he can bring all the generals and nearly ten thousand soldiers back home safely.This resulted in a result, which was also a failure. He was much better than Liu Ping and Ren Fu. At least the generals were intact, and the soldiers were not dead. He could avoid the death penalty for everything. How perfect it is to think, it's really a villain's wisdom, it's incredible.But people are not as good as heaven, and that sky is the international situation at that time, as well as the surrounding situation, and Li Yuanhao's psychological desires caused by these. What did he want to do here?Is it really to break through the Jingyuan Road, enter the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and then come to the Central Plains of Wuhu?No, he just needs a victory, a big victory, to get rid of his harsh international situation, and he must retain his military strength. There are too many enemies, all staring at him. Therefore, Ge Huaimin just hit the iron plate, and Li Yuanhao didn't have the strength to eat 60,000, but he was quite interested in eating 10,000!I am very glad that you can escape in batches... Ge Huaimin led his army out of the gate of the village. The Xixia people did not stop him, and he continued to run forward with ease. The distance was not too far, only 2 miles, about 1000 meters today Bar.The soldiers who had been training for a long time, even if they were running on foot, they were just exercising their muscles and bones, but they all stopped suddenly. There is no road ahead, and when we reach the Great Wall, the bridges and roads have been destroyed, and the cavalry of the party members behind us overwhelmingly overwhelmed us! This battle, the so-called Battle of Dingchuan Village, actually took place at the edge of the Great Wall.14 generals of the Song Army from Ge Huaimin and below were killed, and all the soldiers were wiped out. According to official records, no one escaped. Sima Guang has a different theory. According to his notes, Zhao Xun was captured by Xixia. A breakout force of nearly 10,000 people, a very small number of people in front also crossed the Great Wall and fled back to the prefectures and counties of the Song Dynasty. They survived.In the back, the 60,000 people in Dingchuan village who have been waiting for the sound of the drum are all fine.They first realized that they had been deceived, and then they were surprised to find that the enemy and the coach disappeared together. The Xixia people ignored them and rushed towards the south. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that when things get serious, the border of the Song Dynasty has been penetrated, and Li Yuanhao drove straight in to attack Weizhou City.There is nothing worse than this. There are 70,000 people on Jingyuan Road here. The surrounding counties and Weizhou, the capital of the state, have become undefended pure civilian areas. The enemy can do whatever they want, and the Song Dynasty has no power to fight back. The most well-prepared battle has brought about an unprecedented crisis! But the battle of Dingchuanzhai was a very special, supernatural and atypical battle in the history of wars between Song and Xia. The unprecedented combat power made Li Yuanhao run away on his own initiative.The key point lies in Wang Yan. 李元昊大队人马一路畅通，毫无阻碍地冲到了渭州城下，这是他梦寐以求的地方，首府，有钱、有粮、有美女壮丁，一句话，为了它，李元昊根本对沿途的州县不屑一顾，抢的就是这里。 到了门口，他反而不敢进去了。 只见城头上旌旗招展，人员调动频繁，他绕了一大圈，左看右看，这都是一座杀气腾腾的大宅门，根本不是挺直了等砍的居民区。what happened?宋朝泾原路的兵这么多，渭州城里还留了一大批？ 李元昊犹豫了很久，最后决定离开。还是那个总原则，要记得这次出兵的目的是什么。 李元昊离开了渭州城，泾原路里其它的地方就都糟了殃。他先是回头拿下了栏马、平泉两座城池，又向南纵掠700余里，把能见着的东西都洗白了。并且沿途发表演说。 ——朕欲亲临渭水，直据长安。 打到长安城，以前唐朝的首都，这是真要另立天下，瓜分宋朝疆土了。一时间人心惶惶，不仅是当地的老百姓，宋朝的上层建筑怕得更厉害。中书省、枢密院，所有的宰执大佬们都束手无策。尤其是国境线以内战无不胜，所向无敌近20年的首相吕夷简，这位老兄吓得惊呼起来，历史记载了他9个字的惊呼原文，可以永垂不朽。 ——一战不如一战，可骇也！ 李元昊的目的达到，他真的把宋朝能拍板的人吓着了。但这时一来他不知道，二来一头野猪闯进了菜园子，它会只咬两棵大白菜就主动撤出来吗？不会，他现在超穷，得抓紧一切机会抢劫。 于是他东闯西闯，抢来抢去，终于撞中一枚硬钉子。宋将景泰。 景泰是个名不见经传的人，宋史浩如烟海，他的名字只出现过这么一次。作用却是超级巨大的。他在李元昊最志得意满的时候，迎头一棒把对方砸醒。他只带了5000兵马过来，而且李元昊很重视他，用上了经典的老招数。 伏击。 但是景泰却不上当，先是不追，然后悄悄派人搜索，摸清了对方虚实之后，景泰突然出击，杀了西夏1000多个人。这对李元昊真是算不了什么，可这位党项人有史以来最伟大的领袖，竟然就此退兵了。因为他是个谨慎的人，经历过超级胜利，也有过超级大败，养成了时刻向四面八方警戒的好习惯。 有确切消息，宋朝边境上最让人胆寒的那个人，从来都不出战的范仲淹，已经率军向他逼近。范仲淹出战了！ 还是那句老话，永远记住自己的目标是什么。李元昊退了，不是说他觉得没法战胜范仲淹，或者说他天生就不是完颜阿骨打、孛尔只斤铁木真那样的霸王级人物，而是他计算精确。生平沉稳、老谋深算的人要来拼命了，绝对是场恶仗，就算打赢了，也会得不偿失。 Take it when you see it.李元昊就此收兵，直接撤出了界壕，回到党项境内。宋、夏战争的第三战，定川砦之战至此全面结束。 战后是要盘点的，尤其是这一战。总结经验教训是第一步，更重要的是重新布置防务。而这件事，就涉及到了非常大的人员调动，还有官职升迁。 有官就有职，就有权，这都为以后宋朝的施政方针打下了烙印。有些事，让很多人追悔莫及。 先说总结教训，宋朝的官方说法由权威人士提出，是泾原路的安抚使王尧臣。这是天圣年间的状元，以后的宰执大臣。这时他仔细调查之后，提出了4点败因。 1，不住瓦亭，奔五谷口； 2，离开远堡北，不入镇戎军，向西南方前进，驻扎养马城； 3，从养马城越长城壕到定川砦； 4，在定川砦分兵出逃，不能都死在那儿。（定川见贼不能尽死，四失也） 综上所述，非常无语，王大状元真是有才！其实何必再分个一二三四，他已经把葛怀敏的每一个步骤，每一个行军路线都给定性了——全错。 相对应的，是文官王沿，那是个无辜的人，事先就命令过葛怀敏的，千万、千万不要越过瓦亭寨！但是到底怎样，前面已经说过了，地图说明一切，这条命令根本不值一驳。王沿和王尧臣，都是些无聊的业外人士，他们的话，当时的文官集团爱听，也信，可作为千年以后的自由人类，还那么信的话。 就集体撞墙而死吧！ 其实败因只有一个，不必讳言，错出在皇帝和宰执大臣身上，他们不知兵，派了位“英俊勇武”的衙内领兵，一心以为葛衙内能是曹衙内，却不知曹玮那样的人是不世出的，那是灵芝草，不是成片的大白菜，您想要多少就有多少。 7万兵力，如果打出了前两战刘平、任福的战绩，就算李元昊能赢，他也得当场哭出来！能把他们党项人的老底子拼光！ 相信这样的判断，当时有很多人都清楚。之所以没人说，没有记载，都是儒家的潜规则在作怪——子不言父之过，臣不言君之错。 都“隐”去了。 再说职务调动，王沿走人，范仲淹上任，这是当时最英明的决定，可惜没产生最好的效果。问题出在了范仲淹本人的身上。 谁说谦虚不会害死人的？ 宋朝决定把西北大权交给他一个人，他想了想，决定分出去一半，和韩琦共治泾州，另外把张亢、庞籍、滕宗谅、文彦博等人也都调到西北来，人尽其用，齐心合力，把边疆治理好。除此之外，还新立了一个超级头衔，是陕西四路都部署、经略安抚兼缘边招讨使。这个官，等于这一地区的最高总长官，统一指挥所有事物，用来彻底改变以前四路各自为政的局面。 这个职位范仲淹也没要，由他和韩琦、庞籍来共同担任，这就把这个官职的弊病隐藏了下来，没有谁能一手遮天，独断专行。可隐忧依然在，他们都有走的时候，那时这个职位就搞出了影响庆历新政，阻碍宋朝改革的大事情。 综上所述，范仲淹再一次展示了自己博大的胸襟，万事以国家利益为重。只是这一次，历史证明他做错了。在人生中，你千万不能随便对别人好。赠人玫瑰，手有余香，授人权柄，小心自己遭殃！ 于公于私，当仁不让都是必要的。
