Shao Xing also heard that the Jin army sent troops, and the Xia Gansu military division had already been in chaos, so he seized the opportunity to send out 10,000 horsemen, and at the eastern foot of Rouge Mountain, he would join the Tubo soldiers of Longyoudu to protect the mansion and launch an offensive against the Xia army, and the action was quite rapid.

The troops stationed in Rouge Mountain by the Gansu Military Division were almost immediately defeated, and the Song army broke through Qizhai in a row, and more than 4,000 people were surrendered.

The remnants of the Xia army could no longer support it, and they moved closer to the city, hoping to avoid the sharp offensive of the Song army.

However, the speed of the living girl was faster, and the two Jurchen Temu traveled day and night, taking Xuanhua Mansion in one fell swoop, that is, Ganzhou, capturing the remnants of the Xia army who had just retreated, and marching eastward non-stop, defeating the Tubo troops in the east of Jiedan City, and advancing to Rouge Mountain.

The two armies started a battle, and the Song army troops did not directly participate in the battle, after all, Shao Xing could not resolutely launch a direct conflict, and the soldiers and horses of the Longyou Protectorate could not stop the Jin army, so they abandoned the camp and moved closer to the main force.

In fact, the Longyou Protectorate was also quite wronged, and it was a coalition of Uighurs and Tibetans, which could not form a joint force on its own. The Tibetan army vainly tried to make fortune and feats, and the advance was too outrageous, and was defeated by the Jin army, and the Uighur army was isolated and difficult to support, but fortunately, the Uighur soldiers were relatively good at fighting, and resisted the offensive of the Jin army, and finally retreated.

The living girl is arrogant, but she is not a fool, she is also very cautious about direct conflict, seizing the border camp of Ganzhou, and did not kill all the Tubo soldiers, let alone rashly attack the main force of the Song army, and directly transferred to the defense.

In this way, the two sides formed a confrontation in Rouge Mountain, the shape was very strange, and Shao Xing and the living girl were staring at each other with big eyes.

Shao Xing was serious, but he was very unwilling, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity for the Xia army to assemble in Xingqing, shrinking and reorganizing the troops and horses, gathering more than 30,000 horse troops, a whole car brigade, preparing to confront the Jin army, and issued a golden plate Guantang, asking the imperial court to support the reinforcements, and be sure to expel the Jin army.

Just when the two sides were embarrassed, Wang Xiu also made a decision, he immediately summoned Wang Yuan, asked in detail about the situation of the northern army, and made a secret military order for the first battle.

It must be said that Wang Yuan and Qu Duan are different, he has superb military talent at the same time, he is also a political general, for Wang Xiu's order to implement very well, immediately sent Guantang to order Zhang Zongyan, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong four people to prepare for battle, Liu Jian stationed in Junzhou, and the two brigades and towns were quickly transferred to Hezhong Mansion.

This time, He Wei returned to Kaifeng and reported to Wang Xiu about the government affairs in the northwest, and the civil officials in Xiazhou, Longzhou, Shizhou and other military prefectures have all been arranged in place, most of them are appointed to the original surrendered officials, and all the court officials are responsible for the general judgment and recording of the military affairs.

Here I want to say that the participation in the army of the local military state and the participation in the army of the forbidden army are two different things, and each state has records and each Cao joins the army, and he is the staff officer who belongs to the governor and is in charge of the civil affairs within his own share.

Wang Xiu was relieved that while winning over the original bureaucratic class, strengthening the supervision of the prefectures, and having the township army and native soldiers formed by the imperial court to check and balance the power of the large clans in the territory, this was the best policy for governance, and military bomb pressure was always inappropriate.

Now, his eyes are on the Jurchens, to be exact, it should be Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan, the attitudes of these two people have a great impact on the overall situation.

"It's done very well, now the stability of the place is the key, it's hard for you." Wang Xiu's eyes are particularly sincere, He Wei and Zongliang are the same kind of people, and they do not have outstanding talents, Lao Cheng is the biggest advantage, and he is absolutely used in specific affairs.

The Northwest Occupation Zone does not need wise people, honesty and stability are the key, and what he wants is not development, but the stability of local order.

"This is all the decision of the imperial court and the cooperation of the ministers of Shaanxi." He Wei's attitude is very modest, his biggest advantage is that he is self-aware, and he understands that he has a few catties and a few taels, which cannot be compared with Shen Mo, Cai Yi or even Zhong Lirui.

Since he has been labeled as Wang Xiu, he will do things wholeheartedly, and he will never have other thoughts because of twists and turns, and he can't learn from Qin Hui's ambitions.

Wang Xiu smiled indifferently, in the past, He Wei was not too much valued, he decided to add another burden, and when the major events in the northwest have been decided, let He Wei really preside over a road, paving the Tongtian Avenue between Tongwangshangshu Province and the two prefectures, as for whether it can succeed, it depends on He Wei's own efforts.

"When I came, I saw the mobilization of soldiers and horses, the threat of captives was imminent, and the offensive of Xingqing could not be delayed, I don't know what Wenshi planned?" What is the judge of Xuanfu and the handling of civil affairs, so he can naturally express his opinions or ask about the overall situation.

Wang Xiu handed He Wei a letter to Guantang, and said warmly: "With a solid rear, the army is naturally powerful." ”

"Oh, that's too much." He Wei glanced at Guantang and frowned.

"Okay, Lao Su has been here for two days, you should also go back and have a look, I will set up a banquet for you at home in the evening, oh, your boy is good." Wang Xiu shook his head and smiled.

"Forget it, it's better to get down to business first." He Wei shook his head and said.

"Not in a hurry."

Wushu received Zhang Qiyuan's Guantang, attached great importance to the situation in the northwest, and convened the marshal of the Marshal's Mansion to discuss overnight before sending out an emergency Guantang.

The Jin troops stationed in Yunzhong and Yanshan were urgently mobilized and gathered to the Tiande Army, and the unified army divisions and recruitment divisions in Hebei and Hedong also issued strong men to form defense units in various military states to deal with possible crises.

On the occasion of the intrigue between the north and the south, Gao Ping's camp crossed the river, commanded the army to besiege Jingzhou, divided the troops to contain Yongzhou, and the main force of Fengyuan's Tianwu army directly crossed the north of Jingzhou and arrived at the periphery of Shibaozhai, and the general of the Shibaozhai defenders was Kan Xian.

In fact, Gu Lihei also realized the importance of Shibao Village, and returned safely in Kan Xian, and immediately asked him to lead 3,000 people to the village, but where did he think that the Song army would be pressurized.

He was also quite unlucky, as soon as he arrived at the stockade, the vanguard of the Song army arrived.

Neither side expected that it would be a brief moment of consternation before they realized that it was saber rattling.

An encounter suddenly opened, it is ridiculous that there is only one battalion of the vanguard of the Song army, and the others are all Shuqiang township troops from Hengshan, they have no softness in the face of their clansmen, and they have no mercy, these clans are all money and official positions, and their eyes are full of greed.

In the counterattack, Kan Xian's troops were almost wiped out, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses given to him by Guli Hei were all transferred from the burden, almost all of them were light infantry, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong, and there were only 300 real Shanlu, which became the core of the whole army.

These mountain battles were extremely heroic, but unfortunately they still couldn't save the situation in the face of the absolutely superior Song army.

Kan first retreated into the cottage to count the losses, and was very depressed to find that there were more than 200 people lost, and there were dozens of fierce mountain scrums. These mountain walks, such as flying in the mountains, are irreplaceable in battle, greatly increasing the difficulty of defense, and now the whole village has only more than 4,000 troops, and his confidence has cast a rich shadow.
