Life of the characters

Three strategies of Pingrong

Wang Shao was born on February 28, the eighth year of emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty (April 3, 1030), and became a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou (1057). After that, Wang Shao successively held the posts of Xin'an chief bookkeeper, Jianchang Military Secretary, and joined the army. Later, due to the failure of the examination system, he turned to travel around Shaanxi to interview the customs and customs of the northwest border.

In 1068, the first year of Xining reign of emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, Wang Shao presented three pieces of Pingrong strategy to Emperor Shenzong, stating in detail the strategy of conquering Xixia. The main idea is that "if you want to capture Xixia, you should first recover the land of Hezhou and Huangzhou, so that the people of Xia will be worried about the enemy. In recent years, the Xia people attacked the Qing and Tang Dynasties, but failed to capture them. In case of the attack, they would send troops to the south, plunder Qin and Wei prefectures, herd horses in LAN and Hui, cut off the traffic between the ancient and Wei, conquer the backward Qiang people in Nanshan, build wusheng city in the west, and often send troops to harass Tao and he. Then the counties of long and Shu would be threatened, and they would attack him blindly Can we protect ourselves? As far as the current situation is concerned, among the descendants of the kusiluo, only Dong felt (the second generation leader of the kusiluo regime) is able to stand on his own, blindly levy and bully BaWen (one of the leaders of the kusiluo regime), whose sphere of influence does not exceed one or two hundred Li. Can such a weak force compete with the Xia people? To the south of Wuwei, Taohe, LAN and Shan are all the counties under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. The so-called Huangzhong, Haoyi, Xiaoyu and Wuhan are fertile and suitable for the survival of the Qiang people. Fortunately, now the Qiang people are divided and do not belong to each other, which just separates them and breaks them down. Once all the departments submit, do you dare not surrender? If Xiao's family is obedient, then Li's family in Hexi will be in my hands. In addition, among the descendants of the Ku family, the influence of the blind Zheng was relatively large and was feared by the Qiang people. If the imperial court appeased him and stationed him in wusheng or Weiyuan city to unite the clan, rule the tribe, and use the method of the Han people, at that time, although the Xia people were strong, only Li Shibin in Yanzhou and mu'en in Huanzhou would not rule for me. In this way, it would be helpful to the Song Dynasty, and it would make the Xia people isolated from each other

Pingrong CE not only correctly analyzed the situation of Tubo power in Xihe area, but also put forward the strategy to solve the most urgent Xixia problem of the rulers in the Northern Song Dynasty. Its purpose was consistent with the political ideas of Shenzong, Wang Anshi and other reformers, so it was highly valued and adopted by the court of the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Shao was appointed as the driver of Qinfeng road Secretary, in charge of the development of Xihe. From then on, he took charge of military affairs as a scholar and took on the task of recovering Hehuang.

The emperor supported the prime minister

Yu Longke of the fan tribe was the most powerful in the Qing Tang area, and he wanted to control the Qiang and Xia people in Weiyuan. The generals first attacked Yu Longke. Wang Shao led several riders to Yu Longke's account to analyze the success or failure of Yu Longke because of the border inspection. He stayed there that night. The next morning, the Qiang and Xia sent some of their important leaders with Wang Shaodong. After a long time, Long Ke led more than 120000 subordinates to submit to the imperial court, which is what is called Bao Shun.

Wang Shao also said: "from Weiyuan to Qinzhou, there are tens of thousands of abandoned and uncultivated fields. I hope to set up a municipal exchange department to benefit the merchants and use the business income to manage the farmland. " Song Shenzong took his advice, changed his position to zuolang, and still ordered Wang Shao to promote it. Li Shizhong, the economic envoy, said: "Wang Shao wants to occupy the land of the archers on the border. He also plans to move the Shiyi division to Guwei. I'm afraid that there will be more and more troubles in Qinzhou, which will not be worth the loss." Wang Anshi supported Wang Shao's opinion, so he dismissed Li Shizhong, let Dou Shunqing replace him, and sent Li Ruoyu to investigate the matter. When Li Ruoyu arrived, he asked Wang Shao where his abandoned farmland was. Wang Shao had nothing to say. After careful examination, Shunqing found only one hectare of land, which was confiscated by the owner of this place and later returned. Li Ruoyu told song Shenzong that Wang Shao's so-called wasteland was a lie, so Wang Anshi dismissed Dou Shunqing and appointed Han Zhen. Han Zhen then attached a meeting with Wang Shao, saying that what he wrote was the fact that Shizhong and Shunqing were all demoted, while Wang Shao was promoted to the crown prince zhongyun and the Minister of the secret court. Later, General Guo Kui said that Wang Shao secretly borrowed money from the market. Wang Anshi thought that Guo Kui's evidence was insufficient, so he transferred him to Jingyuan.

Shenzong was determined to recover Helong, so he built the ancient Weicheng city and set up Tongyuan army, which was known by Wang Shaozhi.

Xihe River

In the fourth year of Xining (1071), Tubo generals such as Muer and jieshukeba gathered in mopang mountain (now lintaolan Guanping) and approached Didao city.

In July of the fifth year of Xining (1072), Wang Shao sent troops to Weiyuan fort and qishenping to defeat Monroe horn, maershuiba and other tribes. In the beginning, the Qiang people defended the dangerous land, and some generals planned to place their troops on the open ground. Wang Shao said, "if the enemy does not leave the dangerous land, we will return in vain. Now that we are in danger, we should occupy it and make it mine. " So he led the troops to the maubang mountain, confronted the Qiang army, and ordered: "Whoever dares to say that he will withdraw, he will be beheaded." The song army was slightly defeated by the enemy's condescending attack. At this time, Wang Shao personally put on a fight to command the counterattack. The Qiang people were defeated. They burned their barracks and tents and retreated. Taoxi was shocked. At this time, the soldiers crossed the Taohe River to rescue, and the scattered enemy troops gathered again. Wang Shao ordered his subordinates to go out from zhuniuling road and bluff to contain the enemy, but secretly let the troops attack wusheng. They met with the leader of the blind expedition, the blind medicine and other departments. The two sides fought fiercely. The song army defeated the blind medicine and other departments, so they entered wusheng and became the Zhentao army. Qianwangshao wrote for youzhengyan and Jixian hall. Then he beat away the blind army and demoted its tribe of 20000 people. The name of Gengzhen Tao was Xizhou, which was divided into Xi, he, Tao, min and Tongyuan. Wang Shao knew Xizhou by taking the position of waiting for the system of LongTuge.

In March of the sixth year of Xining (1073), Wang Shao conquered Hezhou and was promoted to privy degree. At this time, the Qiang people who had been surrendered launched a rebellion again, and Wang Shao attacked. Wang Shao's division captured the khonomu Tibetan city, crossed the naked mountain and entered Taozhou southward. Taozhou has a rugged and narrow road, so the troops have to abandon their horses and walk on foot. Wang Shao fought hard to defeat him and recover Hezhou. Then they captured Dang and min prefectures, and the Qiang leaders of diezhou and Taozhou surrendered. On the 54th day of the battle, the song army trudged more than 1800 Li, captured five prefectures, killed thousands of enemies, and seized tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. After the war, Wang Shaojin was promoted to Zuo Jianyi doctor and Duanming palace bachelor.

Jiewei Hezhou

Xining seven years (1074), Wang Shao into the court, was awarded the zizhengdian bachelor. Shenzong gave him a mansion in chongrenfang of Bianjing.

On his way back to Beijing, Wang Shao arrived at Xingping. He heard that Jing Sili was defeated in Taibai City, and the Qiang army surrounded Hezhou, so he rushed to Xizhou day and night. Xizhou was stepping up its fortification, and Wang Shao ordered it to be removed. He also selected 20000 troops from Xizhou to solve the siege of Hezhou.

Wang Shao first gathered the generals to discuss the solution. All the generals thought they would go straight to Hezhou. Wang Shao said, "the enemy besieged the city because they had foreign aid. Now they know that we are going to rescue Hezhou directly, and they will lay ambush for us. Moreover, they have just won the battle and their morale is high. Therefore, they can't fight directly with them. Instead, they should surprise themselves and attack the foreign aid they rely on. This is the so-called "avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, fighting against the strong, fighting against the strong, fighting against the strong, fighting against the weak, fighting against the strong, fighting against the strong, fighting against the strong, fighting against the weak." Later, Wang Shao attacked the Qiang City, conquered Jiehe people and cut off the traffic of Xixia. Then he marched into Ninghe and divided his troops into Nanshan. Knowing that foreign aid had been exhausted, he withdrew.

When Jing Sili was defeated, the arrogance of the Qiang people rose again. Some ministers of the imperial court talked about giving up Xihe, but Shenzong also worried about food and sleep. He repeatedly ordered Wang Shao to keep calm and not go to war easily. At this point, the Qiang people were defeated, and the emperor was overjoyed. After returning to Xizhou, Wang Shao commanded his troops to go out of Taibai city along the western mountain, burned eight thousand accounts of Qiang people, made a blind surrender, and was escorted to Bianjing. Shenzong discussed Gong and worshipped Wang Shao as the Bachelor of Guanwen temple and the Minister of rites, thus setting an example for non ruling people to be awarded the bachelor's degree. Shenzong also granted it to Wang Shao's brother and two brothers
