Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Yue Fei sent generals to sweep the Ningxia Plain, not only to find Li Qianshun and his son, but also to quickly establish a defense system to deal with possible military counterattacks.

There is no need to say much about the significance of finding Li Qianshun and his son, but it is also necessary to defend against the counterattack of the military forces outside Xixia...Because at this moment, except for the local military forces in the Yinchuan Plain, which has been hit once on a large scale, the rest of the Xixia people There is no clear news of damage to the military force.

Among them, first and foremost, of course, in the direction of Hengshan on the opposite bank of the Yellow River.

The northern part of Hengshan was originally the five states where Li Yuanhao started. It is one of the four core ruling areas of Xixia (the former Xingling land, the back Yinshan area, the five states of Hengshan, and the six states of Hexi). There are many Dangxiang tribes there. , And because of its location on the front line, tens of thousands of troops have been stationed throughout the year, and at this time Wei Ming Cha brought three to four million Xixia's main forces to the place, where it can be said that the hedgehog has gathered most of Xixia's active military forces.

Secondly, it was the 20,000 reinforcements in the direction of Hexi to resist Yelv Dashi.

Finally, it was the local forces of the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division who withstood the Mengwu at the Yinshan Pass, where there is another core ruling area of ​​Xixia, which is the back plain of great strategic significance.

This is not unreasonable worry, it must be known that five days have passed since the day the beacon ignited at the mouth of the gorge to the second day of the city's destruction.

Let the enemy be lenient.

Assuming that Wei Ming Chage was the warning he received from the beacon transmission, rather than Li Ganshun getting the message and then preaching, and he also happened to set up an emergency response system in advance, then his vanguard may have been from the west of the Yokoyama front Yanzhou left for three days. Yanzhou is three hundred miles away from the Yellow River, and there is a desert in the middle. It is three hundred miles in three days. At this time, you can probably reach Lingzhou, the important town on the other side of the river.

Relatively speaking, the 20,000 troops going west to Hexi needn’t be too worried, because the 20,000 troops passed through the gorge to the west a decade ago, not to mention where they were when the beacon was lit, can they see it? Even if he caught a glimpse, and didn't consider Yelu Dashi, Wang De led six thousand Yuying pawns behind him to occupy the key point of the gorge, and it was enough to deal with it.

Of course, the above measurement is based on the lenient, and it is the widest.

In fact, everyone knows that after the flames were lit that night, Brother Wei Mingcha was unlikely to see the military situation here by himself through a desert of hundreds of miles. Moreover, the dispatch of such a large-scale army still requires Li Ganshun to pass on the decree. ...Otherwise, who knows whether it is King Qin or Mutiny?

Besides, Xixia and Song Army confronted each other on the front line of Hengshan. The two sides joined together about one hundred thousand people. The front stretched for five states and lasted for nearly two months. How many days will it take?

In fact, it is true.

In the next two days, the four prefectures surrounding Xingqing Mansion were quickly wiped out of the three states, and Wang De Xiakou also made a passage with the main force. Even Shunzhou resisted resolutely for some reason, but so far, Xingqing Mansion on the west bank of the Yellow River The defense system is basically rebuilt. At the same time, on the other side of the Yellow River, Chage's army still did not turn back, and there was no trace of the Xixiaxi army in the direction of Xiakou.

At this time, Qu Duan even suggested that he might as well go to the Lingzhou on the other side in a group to make a test.

Of course, Yue Fei did not agree, the reason was very simple... One is that Li Ganshun's whereabouts is unknown, and the other is that Yelu Dashi's movement has already had some clues.

Crossing the river by division of troops at this time seemed a bit untimely.

The news came from Li Shifu.

Not to mention the previous battle on the Yellow River and the fact that the Song army occupied Xingqing Mansion, which really shocked many local party tribes, only that Li Shifu took six thousand horses to sweep along Helan Mountain. Under the pressure of the soldiers, you are The loyal minister of the Great White Kingdom also had to temporarily live in the Song thief... Do you understand the curve to save the country? Thinking that Li Shifu is not a good man and believer, is it possible that the tribe that has encountered resistance with Liu Qianqi will go around?

And it was these Dangxiang tribes under Helan Mountain who were informing about the movements of the Khitan people in the process of paying respects to Yue Fei in Xingqing Mansion.

It turned out that as early as when Yue Fei entered Xingqing Mansion, there were small tribes, or simply that the flow of small horse bandits through the back of Helan Mountain brought some scattered news about the Hexi area. At that time, someone said that more than 10,000 people went out to support. The Xixia reinforcements and the Khitan people collided head-on at a position east of Xiliang Prefecture (Liangzhou). Unprepared, a large-scale encounter with the Khitan people broke out in a small town called Jisang.

The result was a defeat in a war, and all armies fell.

No one believed this news at the beginning, because such words meant that the Khitan people marched very quickly.

Of course, the Song Army had already crossed the gorge at that time, and no one cared, believe it or not... But now with more and more relevant news, the date, location, and size of the army are basically the same, but they are almost the same.

In other words, although it is not clear whether the 20,000 soldiers of the Xixia people were both defeated by the Khitan people, or the Khitan people were in vain, but there is no doubt that the land of Hexi is now fully owned by the Khitan, and within a short time, Yelu Dashi It may appear under the Helan Mountain.

This is an ‘ally’ that must be treated with enthusiasm...Compared to the Lingzhou on the other side of the river, preventing the Khitan people from taking risks is the top priority.

In fact, as soon as the message arrived, Yue Fei urged Liu Qi to attack Shunzhou.

And after another day, it was Li Ganshun finally got the news, but it was obtained by Li Shifu... Specifically, it was obtained by Li Shifu after he seized the City of Grains.

The so-called food stall city is a castle in the mountain built by grandfather Li Ganshun during the reign of Xixia Yizong. It is located in a valley deep in the Helan Mountain to the northwest of Xingqing Mansion. It is specially used to store food in the rear and belongs to a major strategic location in Xixia. Hu Hongxiu temporarily acted as an agent for the surrounding administration of Xingqing Mansion, inspected relevant documents, heard the news and surrendered to his ministers. After finding this, he immediately informed Li Shifu through the Pegasus of Yue Fei headquarters, and the latter also hurriedly left many tribes alone and rushed there. For control.

Tanliang City was so empty and chaotic that Li Shifu and the first two thousand Qingqi led by Li Shifu easily controlled the city. Not only that, Li Shifu himself immediately learned an important piece of news from the local tribe-on the second day of the Xingqing Fucheng break, someone held the gold medal of the Xixia Kingdom and asked the defenders here to bring all the livestock and enough food. The people came together to the northeast, and at the same time asked the defenders to set fire to the city when they left.

But what is the significance of this city? Although the defenders saw the gold medal, how dare they easily burn it because of a gold medal? What's more, there are also people from local tribes in the defenders who went directly to find the tribe leader and said this... The final result is that most of the defenders left with food and livestock, but the fire did not burn.

As for the castle, it fell under the control of two small local tribes.

Just when the two small local tribes were in surprise, panic, and dazed, they didn't know how to deal with the strategic reserves of the Great White Kingdom, but after another day and a half, Li Shifu personally brought thousands of cavalry to this point.

Seizing a large amount of food reserves is of course great news, but at the same time, calculating time and distance, the appearance of the courier holding the gold medal of the Xixia Kingdom also matched Li Ganshun's itinerary.

The Western Xia Kingdom Lord was obviously worried that the journey to Hengshan was far away, there were also the Yellow River and desert, and there was no supply yet... Or he was worried that going directly to Hengshan would be too obvious and would be intercepted by Song Junzao by the river or the opposite bank. I chose to go northward along the river.

Of course, after going north, where will this person go?

It may be to go to the rear set, which is a strategically important place and one of the four core ruling areas of Xixia, but it is also possible that you just want to get supplies and directly cross the river from Weicheng, the province, and take the Luotuo port detour to Hengshan.

But in any case, it seems that it is too late... a day and a half time gap, especially the north of Dingzhou and Tanliangcheng, which are still occupied by the enemy, and the geographical situation is completely unknown. It is not easy for light soldiers to enter.

Especially not knowing when, the ally who must be prepared will arrive.

And just when Yue Pengju and his people made up their minds to control the political, economic, cultural, and geographic heart of the Xixia Plain, the Yinchuan Plain, and waited for Xixia to split, on the other side, the Hengshan Frontline finally had something that could no longer be covered. The movement of living.

"According to the military information report from Huanzhou Yang Zheng, three days ago, the Yanzhou Xixia Tun Army in front of him suddenly withdrew and disappeared."

Guo Hao, who has hurried on horseback from the front of Ping Rongzhai, is trying to persuade Wu Jie, who is stationed here at this time, on the head of the security guard Castanopsis. "Yesterday, the final will be on the front line of Pingrongzhai, and there was also a secret Hengshan Fan tribe who reported that it was Wei Ming Chage who had gathered together his troops, but he was set in Youzhou, which is located in the west of Hongliu River, thinking that Youzhou is an inside line. , Here, the united forces are clearly going to escape rather than attack. Early this morning, Wei Ming Heda personally asked his son to come to Ping Rong Village, clearly saying that Brother Cha is going to the west... It can be seen that Yelu Dashi and Yue Jiedhu should Already succeeded, at this time the army is approaching the spirit..."

"So, what do you want to say?" Wu Jie with a yellow face sat on the head of the Castanopsis Walled City, frowning, but looking at the black Hengshan to the north in a trance, Guo Hao came to persuade him with a cold attitude.

"Dutong." Guo Hao hurriedly looked upright. "At the end of the day, he thought that Weiming Heda was a servant of Princess Nanxian, a noble species of Khitan, and a person who hated gold into the bones. Now that there is a Yelu stone to attack Xixia, this person must be credible."

"And then?" Wu Jie still frowned.

"Dutong!" Guo Hao became increasingly anxious. "Think about it, Yue Jiedu, Qu Da, Wang De, and Liu Qi have already arrived at the Xiakou nine out of ten at this time. Yelu Dashi said that he should not march from Helan Shanyin..."

"I'm asking you, you have a measure, and what do you want me to do? Why are you talking about these irrelevant?" Wu Jie suddenly got up from the top of the city, furious.

Guo Hao was also impatient for a while, but he held back his anger, and said, "Dutong, the general thought that he can follow Xiao Heda's strategy and immediately launch the main force at least 10,000 people, attack Longzhou, and Xiao Heda will be able to attack in one fell swoop To win and break the Hengshan line of defense."

Under the setting sun, Wu Jie stood on the city with her hands for a while, frowned and looked at Hengshan to the north for a long while. She didn't know how long she thought about or what she was thinking, but she shook her head: "You can try, but you can't throw it lightly. Let me contact Yan’an Junwang and Wu Er, let’s go out in all directions and hit Yan’an...Look at the Xixia people’s reaction and spy on the Jurchen’s position."

Guo Hao was disappointed, so he wanted to persuade him again.

"You don't understand!" Wu Jie said in response. "The location of Pingrongzhai is important, you should go back sooner!"

Guo Hao was completely helpless at this time, he could only act according to the military order... and his heart was full of depression, but he didn't even hold his hand, and he went down to the city angrily while holding his whip, and then went straight to the horse, leading him dozens Wei hurried back to Pingrongzhai.

As soon as Guo Hao went, Wu Jie still stood on the head of the city with his hand, and then did not look at his subordinate at all, but once again looked at Hengshan in a trance. Only at this time the setting sun gradually set, bringing up a burning cloud, reflecting on Wu Jie's face, the light kept changing, and even the yellow face turned red from time to time.

And finally, when the sunset fell, Wu Jie still gave an order to attack Yan'an, and after a little meal, he went to bed early, but since he had all kinds of complicated thoughts, he didn't know how long he waited. Just fell asleep.

But it didn’t look like an hour or two after sleeping. In the middle of the night, he was awakened hurriedly by his younger brother and eldest son Wu Gong. The latter reported that it was Guo Hao who had gone and returned, and had just arrived in the city, saying that he had top-secret military information. Said to Wu Dutong...the people in the city didn't dare to neglect, so they could only let Wu Gong call his father to get up.

The weather was already getting hotter, Wu Jie put on a piece of clothing and came out. When he looked up, he saw that the moon above his head was more than half round. At this time, when the cold wind blew, a Ji Ling woke up, and he felt more and more absurd...this Guo Hao can be regarded as a generalist, with so much experience, how can he be so impatient?

However, after a while, something more absurd appeared.

"What are you talking about?"

Wu Yan was dumbfounded, and his clothes slipped off. Although Wu Gong was behind, he was also dumbfounded and didn't pick it up at all.

"Dutong, I didn't believe it for a while, but Xiao Heda's youngest son didn't seem to be cheating. It would be ridiculous that the family cheated."

On the side of the brazier, going back and forth three times a day, Guo Haolei, who was driving for hundreds of miles, turned red and panting, and then he still held his hands seriously. "According to Xiao Heda's youngest son, Wei Ming Cha Ge Youzhou gathered troops and prepared to return aid. He had no choice but to tell the truth to the generals of the states... Said it was the Song army... Said that there was a king master, no less than 30,000, about It was three or four days ago that he broke through the gorge, and Xingqing Mansion is in danger! The Yanzhou soldiers and horses are the latest reinforcements he hastily dispatched after receiving the will of the Xixia Kingdom. Then the Iron Harriers were also sent to Lingzhou early. Soldier Xi Xiangqin. As for Xiao Heda, Wei Ming Cha Ge also had words, when he said that it was extraordinary, I asked him to be considerate, and then seized his military power in public to replace Wei Ming Yun, and confined him in Youzhou. State capital."

"If so, how did he let his youngest son run out?" Unexpectedly, after listening to the other party's further description, Wu Jie calmed down instead.

"According to his younger son, after Wei Ming Cha Ge was under house arrest, even the soldiers and horses of Yu Zhou had not yet gathered. Yesterday he hurriedly led some tribes to go west, and Xiao Heda took the opportunity to meet with Wei Ming Cha Ge's Jianjun Wei. Ming Renli pleaded for the second and youngest son to return to Xiazhou to tell his subordinates and family members to be safe. Wei Ming Renli was a Confucian student, so he promised...The youngest son secretly left the team, galloped for five or six hours, changed three or five horses, and went around his home The properly controlled tribe has arrived at Pingrongzhai." Guo Hao hurriedly responded. "The general didn't dare to hesitate. After asking the question clearly, he came straight over."

Wu Jie didn't make any extra response when he heard the words, but picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on her body, and walked in the narrow courtyard in front of the hall.

In other words, unlike Guo Hao... Wu Jie actually has a lot of information.

For example, after Yue Fei turned around from Mount Qu Wu, he immediately reported to Xing Xing. According to Zhao Guan's'custodial model' at that time, this level of military intelligence turned around directly from Jing Zhao to Wu Jie, but Zhao Guan's. Later I saw a copy of the newspaper from Wu Jie.

In other words, Wu Jinqing knew from the beginning that Yue Fei was going to Xingqing Mansion. When Yanzhou's troops were withdrawn for the first time, he had already begun to consider a certain possibility.

But the problem is that this possibility is too exaggerated, and it is impossible for him to do it just by the change of a Yanzhou defender.

After all, the Zhao Guanjia handed over the command of the entire Eastern Front to him once again. He must be responsible and must find a balance between the possibility, the probability of success and the outcome of the battle.

Relatively speaking, those thoughts of Guo Hao, Wu Jie, of course, are also very clear... People like Yue Fei have done so much. Could you Wu Jie catch up in your life? Even Qu Da is going to turn over again this time. It's a festival, you Wu Jie will not panic? And Liu Qi... The Liu brothers and Wu brothers have always said in the Western Army.

Moreover, this kind of thinking Wu Jie didn't find it ridiculous. He was also born in the Western Army for twenty years and couldn't let go of these things in his heart. On the contrary, he thought about some things more than Guo Hao.

But the more so, the more proper a plan must be made.

Moreover, in addition to planning properly, he must hold a real fighter in his hand, and then make a desperate bet... just like what Yue Fei Quduan did this time.

"Pass my military order." Wu Jie looked at the half moon above his head for a long time, and suddenly spoke. "Add a military order to Wu Lin, let him march forward with the whole army, make rapid progress in Yan'an, and use double strength as much as possible... Don't worry about any altars and pots, throw down the Diaoyin Mountain camp, and the whole army will storm Ganquan!"

Wu Gong said yes, and he wanted to turn around to write the military order, while Guo Hao was in a panic and had to persuade him again.

"Don't worry...Go on after you finish." Wu Jie took a long breath and continued to send orders seriously. "Write a letter to the Yan'an County King to explain this matter, and ask him to do his best to attack the truth and prolong it, so that the living women will not care about each other."

Wu Gong arched his hands again to express his understanding.

"I will personally write the seal notes, and invite the official family to go north, and bring at least 10,000 elites from the imperial left army... to Huzhou!"

With Wu Jie handing over this time, Guo Hao finally realized a little.

"Finally, taking advantage of Xixia's main force to go west, Wei Mingyun went to Xiazhou to gather the soldiers and horses. Let's immediately send troops and storm Hengshan...See if he doesn't look back!"

"How many troops are sent?" Guo Hao didn't hold back.

"As many as there are!" Wu Jie turned back abruptly. "If you go out of Longzhou, I will go out of Hongzhou personally, each will send 10,000 people, and the Huanzhou area will also ask Yang Zheng to send troops, no matter how many soldiers there are, how many are the best ones, I only want him to send out all of them to fight Yanzhou! Then at the same time issue orders. The tribes of Hengshan are not allowed to be the first and the two ends of the mouse. If you don’t come this time, you won’t be able to accept it again after the Song Dynasty! Then you will bring your two sons, Xiao Heda, with you when you send troops, and you will see Yelu's affairs and the things of Yelu Dashi. They made it clear, and then said that the strength of the Yelu Dashi was 50,000! Tell them that the Yelu Dashi had reached the foot of the Helan Mountain, and the emperor had promised them the Khitanese Hexi and the rear set! Let them go back to Xiazhou to rebel! Go to Yuzhou to rescue. Their father! Their father and son have been in Xiazhou for decades, and how many Khitans they have accepted, if they don't move, they deserve to die!

Guo Hao was so excited, he bowed his hands and walked away.

After less than two steps, he looked back and said, "Dutong, when will the troops be dispatched?"

"I will send troops tomorrow morning!" Wu Jie said coldly. "You lead the Wanjun all the way, when will you send troops and what do you do with me?!"

Guo Hao was ridiculed by this, not angry but happy, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

As soon as Guo Hao left, Wu Gong also sent orders to do things, but Wu Jie looked up at the sky for a long time before returning to the house and writing memorial notes by himself. After finishing writing, after careful consideration, he sealed the box and sent away, but fell asleep again. Just tell my eldest son, when everything is ready, the whole army will call him again.

But when Wu Jie fell asleep again, it was not much different. In the official residence of Xingqing Mansion hundreds of miles away, Yue Fei had just been awakened: "Are the Xixia people in Lingzhou on the other side of the river?"

"No." Yue Fei was respectful after finishing school. "It was the Helan Mountain Foreign Tribe who came to report... There are tens of thousands of Khitans, horses and camels are innumerable, the marching array has been scattered, stretching for dozens of miles, and it passed through Helan Mountain continuously from the outside of Helan Mountain for a few moments, regardless of the soldiers falling behind. The livestock fell dead and went all the way to the north. It didn't take a break until midnight... The fan saw it, and the general sent him to Li Fu Dutong. Li Fu Dutong asked for his instructions."

"I didn't show him, only show you." Yue Fei squinted his eyes for a moment before giving orders calmly. "Make a clear record of this matter, and immediately send it to Xing Zai! Then issue an order to Wang De, let him go to the Xishou Baotai Army Division, the Jingsai Army Division, try to surrender, and check the beginning and the end of the Hexi battle... ."

After saying this, the person fell directly on the couch and had to fall asleep for a while.

Bi Jin was dumbfounded, but after a while, he could only make a low claim and then stepped back.

"What the Xixia people said?" Continued to move thousands of miles, on the east side of the Yellow River, under the real Hedong category, the Dajin Wei Wang Wushu, who had worked hard to march to Shizhou opposite the Jinning Army and the Suide Army, was also taken away from the camp. In arousing, it is also stunned. "Yue Fei hit some gorge in the hinterland of Xixia a few days ago?"

"Yes." Wen Dunsi respectfully and respectfully, bowed his head to face each other.

"Is it a smooth journey from that Xiakou to Xixia Capital?"

"Yes."

"how far?"

"About less than two hundred miles?"

Wan Yan Wushu was stunned, and only half a day later said: "I was deceived by the Zhao Song official family?! Or was Yelu Dashi also deceived by him?"

Wen Dun Sizhong bowed his head in silence.

At this time, another person directly set off the account and entered, but it was the West Route Army who had completely finished the face. This person entered, and saw the shape of Wu Shu and Wen Dun Sizhong, knowing that the other party already knew the military situation, he simply frowned. Stand solemnly.

"The five ten thousand households brought...one ten thousand households gave Sa Li drink, let him continue to cross the river from the front to the Suide army...there is only one task, which is to control the ferry and passage, and be sure to take care of the whole army of living women from now on." I was silent again for a long time. There was already a slight morning light outside, and Wu Shu just gritted his teeth. "There are four million households left, don't stay, immediately bury the pot and cook, go up the river, and grab the back cover!"

At this moment, Wen Dun Sizhong was shocked for a while, even if Pulling Lisu also frowned for a while, but the latter opened his eyebrows and was suddenly stunned.

"What happened before July or 8th, the place where the confidant of the party's confidant is hopeless. By then, the Song army will guard against the river, and the Xixia people themselves will be very broken!" Wu Shu didn't know how to wake up, so he looked at the other party directly. Seriously opposite, but hideous. "At this time, help them defend Hengshan, not to mention that it is too late, only that the back set is a place of victory, condescending, controlling the grasslands in the north, pressing the native land of Xixia in the south, and in the north of the Yellow River. It is easy to send troops from Xijing and Taiyuan. It is also a barrier between these two places! At this time, where is the reason to go to Hengshan and abandon the back cover? Of course, you must fight for the back cover with all your forces!"

Pulling Lisu handed over his hand, and replied solemnly: "Wei Wang Mingjian! The final general is thinking like this too!"

In this way, in the early morning of April 14th, Wu Jie left Hongzhou, Guo Hao left Longzhou, Yang Zheng left Yanzhou, Wu Lin left Yan'an, Han Shizhong left Yan'an, Wanyan Sali drank the Suide army, Wanyan Wushu and Ba Lisu hurried northward with four tens of thousands of households, and went straight to the back. It was the pioneer of Yelu Dashi, Xiao Wuli, who also set off immediately, regardless of hard work, from the foot of Helan Mountain quickly north to the back.

At the same time, Wei Ming Cha Ge desperately, divided into three sections before and after, also swarmed towards the west of the capital to help him.

At this time, in the entire battlefield, north of Juanzhou, almost everyone was struggling to march out ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, only the Yue Fei department who lived in the center of the vortex guarded the cities of Yinchuan Plain, and was still working on the National Reserve of Xixia. The boring act of bribing people's hearts.

The contrast is huge.

Of course, the biggest contrast is still Zhao Guan's family. He was far away in the same state and had not yet received Wu Jie's memoir, but it was because the Jinjun's evacuation was so boring that he started shooting crows and rabbits again.

"Your Majesty shoots!"

In the morning, as Zhao Jiu shot another bird to death with one arrow, Zheng Zhichang immediately slapped his palms against him. "The minister also thought yesterday that your Majesty shot more than 70 rabbits and more than 30 crows in one day, plus a total of more than a hundred. The emperor in ancient and modern times has no right of officialdom. It is simply a shot in the world..."

Regarding this, the Zhao official family who had something in their minds of course had to decline: "What's this...In two days, I will find two toads and shoot them for the Qing family to see."

Regardless of Zheng Zhichang, or Lu Benzhong next to him, they all awakened all at once, and they wanted to flatter one or two together.

But at this moment, for some reason, he came to the Guanxi Fifth Road, which was next to Zhao Guan’s house. Hu Yin suddenly confronted him coldly and made a correction: "Official family, the word read chuad instead of yuad."

Zhao Jiu put down his bow, disappointing for a while.
