Wu Dalang's Counterattack

Chapter 270: Old Mr. Mr. Yang and Mr. Yang!
Of course Wu Ming also knew that if there was a war in the ancient era of cold weapons or in the modern era of hot weapons.

Then you must fight outside your own national borders.This is the most basic common sense, because if you let the war happen within your own country.

No one will die in a war. Even if you are careful, if a war breaks out within your own national borders, it will be the civilians who lose and suffer.

If you win, it is the common people who suffer, and if you control the war outside your own borders, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose the war.

The least thing that can be guaranteed is that the people of their own country will not suffer unnecessary losses due to the war.

They will not let the people of their own country bear the suffering caused by the war.Everyone understands this truth, Wu Ming is only worried about Mr. Zhong and his family army now.

In history, the Zhongjia Army was a very capable army. They fought against the Xixia people many times, and it can be said that they lost less and won more.

It was the Xixia people who were terrified of the Zhong family army. Wu Ming was puzzled. In history, the famous Zhong family army was obviously better than the Yang family general.

Why is there no place where Zhong Jiajun shines in various novels? After thinking about it carefully, Wu Ming finally figured it out.

The reason for all this is that Zhong Shiheng, the founder of the Zhong Family Army, is not as fertile as Yang Laolinggong, the founder of the Yang Family General.

Although Zhong Shiheng also had many sons, he had eight sons like Mr. Yang Laoling.But there are not many famous generals among them.

It's just that the old Zhongxianggong Zhonger and his son Xiaozhongxiang Gongzhong Shidao have left their names in the novel.

As for the other famous generals of the clan, although they were loyal to the Song Dynasty, most of them died in battle.

But why they didn't shine is because the time between them is too long, in real history.

During the 160 years ruled by the Northern Song Dynasty, heroes of the Zhong family army emerged in large numbers: Zhong Shiheng, Zhong Gu, Zhong Er, Zhong Dian, Zhong Yi, Zhong Pu, Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Shi were all generals.

Five generations of Zhong's children joined the army, and dozens of them died in battle.Those who died for the country were at least three generations apart.

But Old Linggong Yang is different. Old Linggong Yang Jindao Yang Jiye also gave birth to eight sons, but his sons are more competitive.

After Yang Jiye returned to the Song Dynasty, he led his seven sons, one godson, the "Seven Langs and Eight Tigers" to fight in the north and south, wandering east and west.

He made great contributions to the Song Dynasty!For the Yang family, the greatest contribution is the "Golden Beach Double Dragon Club".

There is a saying in the storytelling, "There is nothing higher in merit than saving a car, and nothing in poisoning is better than cutting food"!At this banquet, Da Lang dressed up as Song Taizong.

Erlang dressed up as the eight wise kings, and all seven sons went to the banquet.You must know what is often said in Pingshu, "There is no good meeting, and there is no good banquet".

Yang Jiye didn't keep a single son, all of them were sent out. This loyalty can be seen every day!The ending was tragic.

At this banquet of the Yang family, almost the entire army was annihilated. Dalang and Erlang suffered disasters in front of the banquet, Sanlang was trampled like mud by a horse, and Shiro and Balang wandered abroad.

Wu Lang became a monk, and Liu Lang and Qi Lang fought their way out of the siege.In the end, he was killed by the treacherous minister Pan Hong and Pan Renmei.

A generation of loyal Yang family generals ended up with a family full of widows and widows. This is the story of the seven wolves and eight tigers of the Yang family generals leaving Youzhou.

The reason why the generals of the Yang family are featured in the Romance is that their loyalty was the most in line with the ruler's loyalty to the emperor in that era.

Under the impetus of the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, and under the eulogy of those literati, the general of the Yang family was deified in the historical romance.

However, the presence of the Zhong Family Army, which is not much different from the Yang Family, has relatively weakened. People like to follow the trend, and what people can remember will always be the first.

When everyone is talking about the generals of the Yang family, how many people will come forward to complain about the grievances of the Zhong family army?

If it weren't for the record of the old Zhongxianggong Zhonger and his son Xiaozhongxiang Gongzhong Shidao, it would be too heaven-defying.

They left a strong mark in the real history of the Northern Song Dynasty. I am afraid that Mr. Shi Naian would not have included these two people in Water Margin when he wrote "Water Margin".

The "old businessman" in "Water Margin" was the magistrate of Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province when Zhong Er first entered his official career.

At that time, the military and political integration was implemented in the border counties, and he had soldiers and horses in his hands, so he adopted a strategy of combining differentiation and seduction to deal with the Xixia army.

At that time, there was Wei Mingshan, the leader of the Xixia tribe in Suizhou (today's Suide County, Shaanxi Province), who often led people to harass the territory of Qingjian County.

However, Wei Mingshan's younger brother Wei Yishan secretly asked to surrender to Zhong'e.Zhong'e agreed, and he immediately lured Weimingshan to surrender in the name of Weiyishan.

He said: I am willing to make peace with you, and I have prepared a golden basin for you, please accept it.Regardless of whether Wei Mingshan was willing or not, Chong Er led his army to surround Wei Mingshan's camp.

Wei Mingshan had no choice but to lead more than 1 soldiers and civilians to surrender to the Song Dynasty.Zhong Er recovered Suizhou, an important town in northern Shaanxi, with only a golden basin as bait without hurting a single soldier.

Another time, he led troops out of Suizhou to attack Mizhi, but the first battle was unfavorable, and he did not go down for three days.The Xixia Army mobilized another [-] soldiers and horses to rush to help.

The enemy is outnumbered, what should we do? Zhong Er laid an ambush by the Wuding River outside Mizhi City.When the enemy arrives, the ambush soldiers come out all around.

Cut the Xixia army into two sections so that the head and the tail cannot look at each other.As a result, the [-] Xixia army was defeated, and Mizhi defender Ling Jieyu was captured.

When the good news came out, the government and the public were shaken, and the reputation of Zhong Er quickly spread throughout the country.Wu Ming remembered the description in "Water Margin": Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast, was working under Zhong Er at that time.

Later, when he wandered around the rivers and lakes, he was always proud of having worked under the "old businessman" and advertised that the "Sajia" was originally a soldier.

He is the descendant of three generations of generals and the grandson of Wu Linghou, and his marksmanship is passed down from his ancestors.There are also Wang Jin, the coach of the 80 forbidden army in Tokyo, and Jiuzhilong Shijin.

It is also after being unable to get along in his own territory, he traveled thousands of miles to join the "old businessman", which shows the prestige of the kind.

In fact, in the real history of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is another army that also has a proud record, and they are the discount army.

But if there is no instruction from the upper echelon, how many literati will write books and biographies for these generals, after all, only one general of the Yang family is enough for a typical case.

In the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, generals have always been an embarrassing existence, although generals fought for the country, regardless of their lives.

However, the social ethos at that time was from top to bottom, emphasizing civility over martial arts.Even if the generals made great military exploits outside the battle.

When they return to the court, they will obediently hand over their military power, pretending to be like turtle grandchildren in front of those civil officials.

This was the great social environment of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and it was also one of the reasons why the Ming and Ming soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty had many generals but could not defeat several surrounding countries.
