888. Chapter 888: The Beginning of the War in the Northwest

As for the sour words that are three times the case, the palace province issued an article in the palace newspaper, the inner and outer libraries are completely separated, the inner treasury is exclusively for the royal family, and the dowry of the eldest princess of Chu State does not exceed 100,000, but the queen mother takes her own private money. "Words * love * first * hair

This makes people have nothing to say, the Queen Mother feels sorry for her daughter, she takes money out of her own pocket, and she has to close her beak to do your.

The excitement will always pass, entertainment affairs are always better than reality, and everyone's eyes are still on the north.

Merchants or factory owners, that is especially exciting, war may be fear for the people, or it may be entertainment, but for them it is a source of wealth. Whether it is leather or copper and iron, it is consumed at a flowing price, so that they can make a lot of money, how can they not pay attention to success or failure.

In fact, Zhang Qiyuan's attitude toward Li Qianshun played a decisive role. His frankness made Li Qianshun completely determined to start using troops against Shaanxi.

The most fundamental reason for this is that Li Qianshun has illusions, hoping that the Jin army can provoke a big battle, so that he can successfully capture Hengshan, and finally the battle of Pingqiang City began.

100,000 Xia troops gathered, with at least 50,000 regular soldiers, to launch an offensive against the defense system of Pingqiang City, and carry out fierce attacks on various passes.

Nearly 10,000 defenders were distributed in various passes, using the terrain and relying on the castle pass to block the Xia army layer by layer. The battle was fierce, and under the resolute resistance of the Song army, the Xia army's offensive was repeatedly frustrated, and there was almost no progress.

In particular, the battle for the castle in front of the main gate of Pingqiang City should be described as tragic. Li Shifu concentrated tens of thousands of people, thousands of soldiers wearing wet cowhide heavy armor, took turns to attack the front fort, the defenders of more than 1,000 people to resist stubbornly, killing is a river of blood, the Xia army landed in the city three times, the Song army organized a counterattack, after a bloody battle to counterattack the Xia army.

After six consecutive days of fighting, the defenders lost more than 400 people, and the Xia army was more than 1,000 corpses under the city, and both sides were almost out of strength.

At the beginning, it was the head cannon, and it was hard to hit the top of the head, it was full of anger, Li Liangfu didn't expect Song Jun to be so tenacious, and he hit his head and broke the bloodstream.

didn't talk about the war in Shaanxi first, but said that Wang Xiu arrived in Kaifeng, and it was already cool in autumn. He first went to worship Qin Xianrong's tomb, where the three pillars were filled with green smoke and a few plates of exquisite fruits, and he stayed there all night.

It must be said that Kaifeng City is no longer as vibrant as it used to be, and a large number of powerful people have moved south and lost their former nobility.

However, there is still a trace of afterglow in the century-old capital, as a large town with a population of one million, it is still full of vendors, restaurants, the lights of the Zhouqiao Night Market are still all night long, and the ladies' clothes are still gorgeous, adding a bright color to the autumn wind.

Wang Xiu's arrival in Kaifeng reassured the citizens that his deeds are still circulating in Kaifeng, whether it is the killing of captives who lose their armor, or retreat from the waves, or drag Wang Hao off the horse, it makes people feel at ease.

Wang Xianggong is a fairy in the sky, capable people can't, with Xianggong sitting in Kaifeng, everyone should be busy with something, the sky can't fall.

However, he was in the beauty residence outside the city, and it was rumored that day, and people did not accuse him, let alone make irresponsible remarks. Back then, Qin Xianrong's matter had already been spread, it was a real martyr, Wang Xiu had just arrived in Kaifeng on the second day, and she arrived at the beauty residence, and that sincere emotion made people really speechless.

Talents and beauties are eternal topics, poignant and incomplete stories, which can arouse people's sympathy more, are so perfect that they always make people feel less charming.

At this time, there are not many women in Kaifeng City, who are envious of Qin Xianrong, even if the incense soul is gone, it also makes Wang Xianggong worried.

At this moment, Wang Xiu, who was no more than forty years old, became the ruler of the man in their hearts. Also, a man who has been in the office for less than 20 years, is a very human minister, and is still a figure who is rumored to be the reincarnation of Xianzhen, can care about a woman so much, and if it is himself, it is worth it even if he dies.

Not to mention the rumors in the market, the day after Wang Xiu returned to the city, the four commanders of the camp arrived one after another.

A tabloid first broke the news that the colonels of the four major battalions of the Northern Servant Army had arrived, indicating that Wang Xianggong had a heavy action, which immediately attracted people's attention. What kind of extravagant efforts does this take to bring together the four marshals, oh, and the envoys of Gyeonggi, a total of five powerful marshals together.

At noon, the big day is at the head, staying in the capital of the Xuande Gate outside the Shangshu Provincial Military Department, in and out of the forbidden army generals, if there are really people who have a heart to see, you will understand that most of these people are joining the army, and the Shangshu military department is very well guarded.

In the lobby of the military headquarters, a huge sand table was placed, and several junior generals waved red and black flags, and with the deduction of those senior generals and colonels, the comparison of forces between the enemy and the enemy was demonstrated, as well as the focus of various situations.

The main and deputy commanders of the Northern Servant Army joined the army, Guan Gou marched to join the army, and the four major camps all joined the army envoys and Guan Gou marched to join the army, and they were divided into positive and negative sides, and constantly carried out strategic confrontation to solve the three problems raised by Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu was in Kaifeng's mansion, he met with all the colonels in the living room, and in addition to Cai Yi, there were also Yin Wangyuan, the deputy commander and protector of the Northern Servant Army, Wang Yan, the deputy commander of the Northern Servant Army, and Liu Qi, the envoy of the northern Gyeonggi Economy.

Zhang Zongyan, the commander of the Qizhou camp of the first camp of the North Servant Army, the commander of the Qizhou camp of the Jingdong East Road, the commander of the Jeju camp of the second line of the camp of the east and west roads of the second line, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Huaizhou camp of the third line of the camp of the Jingbei Road, Han Shizhong, the commander of the Mengzhou camp of the fourth camp of the Jingbei Road, and Liu Weifu, the commander of the Shenwei Army.

The establishment of the camp is the need of the war, and it is also a bit hasty, and several of them are also recognized as capable generals, and they are also recognized by Wang Xiu.

However, the commanders of the four major camps are all power tests, and they are by no means regular, that is to say, you are not qualified yet, and you can only remove the power test if you have made great contributions or have the qualifications, and you can really take on the big responsibility of being the military master and the battalion.

However, Wang De still stayed in the Xuanwu Army and was not promoted, which made some people look at it and couldn't understand. In the Northern Army, Wang De, Zhang Changning, and Qin Liang are definitely Wang Xiu's people, so why they were not promoted is obviously unreasonable.

Wang Xiu summoned the colonels above the camp, not to have combat deployments, but to meet with the generals to deepen their exchanges with each other and increase their sensory understanding of everyone.

In this way, we can better understand the high-level generals and colonels, and know the people and the enemy about the wars that may be launched in the future, and how can a commander who does not even know his own subordinates win the war

His gaze shifted from Yue Fei's face to Liu Qi's face, this is a real low-key person, who cannot be ignored by him, and said softly at the moment: "The captives are going south, but the heaviest burden is Uncle Xin." ”
