Chapter 849 The Beginning of the War (28)
After these awards, Su Yun's current official position is the official of the fifth rank, a direct bachelor of Jixian Academy. He is assigned to be the military envoy of Yanyan Road, the living room minister, and the imperial eunuch of the Imperial Academy. Oh, he was also granted the title of a third-rank official. The official uniform is purple.
Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with what he had done. This was a reward for Su Yun, and Su Yun would not be unable to be rewarded at such a young age. This was good for Su Yun. It is a great thing for the court as well!
Zhao Xu was in a really good mood right now. After being depressed for nearly two months, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Different from the piecemeal work before, Su Yun did something big this time. He flattened a camp of 6,000 people at once, beheaded more than a thousand people, and drowned more than a thousand people. Directly and indirectly, Xixia lost two to three thousand soldiers. To be honest, , this contribution is really great!
Zhao Xu started to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again.
It wasn't that he was idle, but he discovered that the strategies used by Su Yun in fighting against the party members were as magical as those written in novels.
For example, when killing the 300 cavalrymen of the Ye Ci family, Su Yun used one move to lure the snake out of its hole, then lured its soldiers into three groups, and then defeated them one by one. The use of such tactics was simply wonderful.
Another eight hundred cavalrymen broke through Fei Tingsheng's camp. While Fei Tingsheng's cooking stove was half buried and the camp was not set up, they rushed over for ten miles and killed the enemy unexpectedly.
Su Yun's subtlety and boldness in using his troops were comparable to those of Huo Qubing, Li Jing and others!
In this way, the gold content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has begun to rise again.
At the beginning, Zhao Xu could see the value of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he studied it again and again, and even listed it as required reading for Zishantang (Royal School), but he may not have no doubts in his heart.
After all, some of the battles written in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms seem too mysterious. When fighting a real battle, nothing can be done according to your strategy.
But Su Yun's two battles seemed to tell everyone that the style of play in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may not be impossible.
In fact, it is not only Zhao Xu who is researching, but the Three Kingdoms craze has once again started among the people.
Of course, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has always been very popular, but the focus of everyone's discussion before was not on the battle. People thought that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was wonderful, but it was just the words of novelists, and the so-called battles were just the words of scholars. That’s all.
But recently, after the news about Su Yun's Lianjie battles gradually spread to the people, everyone, like Zhao Xu, discovered, hey, this kid really has something real.
So I went back to study the various battles in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Through this study, I found that there is really something.
When Su Yun wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was really not perfunctory. He wrote every battle as if he was familiar with war exercises. Therefore, he studied various famous battles and included these battles.
He was also reading military books, and his research was quite in-depth. Therefore, the various troop mobilization, food and grass transportation, scout assignment, investigation information, decision-making process, etc. in the novel are no different from reality.
Therefore, after knowledgeable people studied the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they realized that this thing can actually be studied as a military book.
These people are readers.
Ordinary people don't understand this. They only need to know one thing, that is, Xiao Su Jinglue is very good at fighting, and his Romance of the Three Kingdoms is even more beautiful.
For a time, wherever there was well water, there were people reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
And where there is a lecturer, he must also talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
On this day, when Zhao Xu was studying the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Sigong came in with tea. Zhao Xu happened to be thirsty, so he drank it, then put down the book and planned to take a rest.
Zhao Xu chuckled and said, "What's the latest news from Juzheng?"
Zhao Xu's original intention was to ask Su Yun if there was any new news in the northwest, such as whether he had returned to Yanzhou to take charge, etc., but Sun Sigong didn't know whether he was wrong or intentional, so he whispered: "Guan family, There have been some rumors about the Su family recently, do you want to hear them?”
Zhao Xu groaned and said: "But it doesn't matter."
Sun Sigong said: "Recently, Bingjingwu has heard rumors among the people in the market that the Su family is already a fifth-grade official at a young age, and they are in charge of military and political power. They have reached the point where they have no titles or rewards.
That's why this time, the Great Victory Officials only gave him a post and a third-grade official uniform. He was already a master of great merit and was feared by the officials. ”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he laughed angrily and thought it was very ridiculous. He said: "A mere fifth-rank official, a mere envoy, how can he threaten the imperial court even if he is younger?
< br>
Although I am not a wise and powerful monarch like Emperor Qin or Emperor Wu of Han, I am not a mediocre king either. How could I be afraid of an outstanding young man? It is ridiculous! ”
Sun Sigong smiled and said: "These are just rumors. If the officials don't believe it, then it will naturally be fine."
Zhao Xu snorted and said: "Of course I don't care about such rumors, but some people have ulterior motives. After finally finding a young man who can fight, these people start to panic?
Haha, Di Wuxiang was destroyed by them, are they going to destroy Su Yun again? ”
When Sun Sigong heard this, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to speak.
Zhao Xu suddenly mentioned Di Qing's matter, which made Sun Sigong dare not answer the question. It involved a battle between civil and military forces. Not to mention him as a servant, even Zhao Xu did not dare to say anything outside.
Sun Sigong hurriedly whispered: "The official family, the Su family are literati after all." Zhao Xu snorted and said: "They can't tolerate military people, and they can't tolerate literati. They have to cede land and pay compensation, right?"
Sun Sigong didn't dare to say anything at all.
Zhao Xu glanced at Sun Sigong and said: "I regret it. I should have given Su Yun a big reward before. Damn it, you are so young that you shouldn't be in a high position!
How old was Huo Qubing when he was granted the title of Marquis? Seventeen years old! I dare not do what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could do?
Sun Daban, just look at it, it’s fine if Su Yun doesn’t make meritorious deeds next time, if he does, I will not begrudge my official position! ”
There were hurried footsteps outside. Sun Sigong looked a little strange and hurried out to greet them.
After a while, Sun Sigong walked in quickly. Zhao Xu saw Sun Sigong's expression was strange and suddenly thought to himself: Can't do it?
Sun Sigong said: "Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family! Great victory in the northwest! Mr. Su Jinglue defeated Yinzhou with 800 horses and killed more than 10,000 enemies!"
Zhao Xu stood up suddenly, looking horrified.
This news swept through the entire court like a storm, then swept through the entire Bianjing city, and then swept across the entire world!
Yinzhou City, one of the Five Prefectures, was Xixia's first heroic city against the Song Dynasty, and was the nightmare of millions of people in the Song Dynasty. Was it destroyed by Mr. Su Jinglue with 800 cavalry?
And those who were qualified to know about Su Yun's series of operations to break the city, after reading the battle report, none of them closed their mouths.
Although it is rare to break the city, what is shocking is that the way Su Yun breaks the city is incredible.

Well... the Eight Hundred Cavalry disguised themselves as Dangxiang men, and then sneaked into the city, quarreled with Li Bingxiao and took the opportunity to massacre him because of Li Bingxiao's request for loot, and then incited the Dangxiang soldiers to rob Li Bingxiao's treasure house, which developed into a rebellion.
Up to this point, things were not too bizarre. After all, city deceptions had not never happened, and mutinies were also common. But the next operation was really beyond everyone's expectation.
Su Yun actually shouted "Catch the thief" and directly suppressed the rebellion!
Do you dare to believe that the Song Army went to help the Dangxiang people suppress the rebellion?
But the counter-rebellion was not really a counter-rebellion, but an attempt to create distrust among the rebel soldiers. This led to the death of Li Liangxiang from the Zuo Xiang Shenyong Military Division who came to comfort him later. Five thousand counter-rebellion soldiers had to fight to the death with eight thousand rebel soldiers. Fighting, Su Yun found the opportunity to take his head among the thousands of troops!
During this battle, Su Yun made great efforts, causing heavy casualties to the defenders of Yinzhou City. Most of the 5,000 cavalry led by Li Liangxiang, the brave military commander in the left wing, were also killed or injured.
According to subsequent statistics by Song Dynasty spies, during this battle, the two thousand soldiers and horses under Yinzhou Governor Li Bingxiao's army suffered 60% to 70% casualties. While tens of thousands of soldiers were repairing in the city, 70% to 80% were killed or injured. The five thousand cavalry he led also suffered 60% to 70% casualties. In total, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured.
And the people in the city suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, the grain crops, armory, etc. in Yinzhou City were also burned down by Song Dynasty spies.
After this battle, although Yinzhou City was not captured, it had lost its function as a rear base camp in a short period of time!
What does tens of thousands of casualties mean to Xixia? It means that their vitality has been somewhat damaged.
There are only a few people in Xixia, and the casualties are all young and strong. The casualties of tens of thousands of people are already a bit crippling for Xixia.
This is a real victory!
In the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, it is not that there were no similar victories, but if you want to break the city, you have to besiege the city with tens of thousands of troops, and then pay the lives of thousands of soldiers before it is possible to break through a city.
Su Yun, on the other hand, only used 800 cavalry to break the city, and it is estimated that he did not suffer much damage.
What does this sound like? It's like listening to the classic battle stories of those famous generals from the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Is it possible that our Song Dynasty also has an unparalleled famous general?
Li Jing?
Wei Qing?
Well, Huo Qubing is more similar.
Huo Qubing didn't respect ancient methods when fighting. He was good at using cavalry. The first time he used 800 cavalry... Huh? Sounds familiar!
Well, in terms of performance, Su Yun also led 800 cavalry, but his performance was even better than when Huo Qubing led troops for the first time.
After all, Huo Qubing only "beheaded and captured captives too much". The so-called "excessive" means that he killed more enemies than his own losses. As for the "Book of Han", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quoted the saying as "Beheading and capturing two thousand and two captives" "Level 18" is open to question.
Among the enemies Huo Qubing killed were high-ranking Xiongnu officials such as Xiangguo and Danghu. He also killed the Xiongnu Chanyu Yizhixie's grandfather, Ruohou Chan, and captured the Chanyu's uncle Luo Gubi. Second meritorious service crowns the whole army.
And Su Yun beheaded Li Bingxiao, the brother of the Xixia Emperor, beheaded his uncle Li Liangxiang, and countless other generals.
Su Yun has made great achievements one after another. Some people are happy, some are sad, some are itching to hate, and some are afraid.
But no matter what you think, the thing that should be solved now is: how to reward Su Yun!
Zhao Xu was especially worried!
