Chapter 382: You can't let them go
Sister Le Duyi's words were purely for the Empress Dowager Liang to step down, so that she could withdraw the troops as soon as possible, seeing that the Empress Dowager Liang was still asking about this, she had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes." ”
Empress Dowager Liang's expression softened, and she still said sadly: "Take pity on me, these Great Xia soldiers......
The crowd didn't dare to speak, who would have thought that the little Pingxia City would cause them to lose so many soldiers.
More than 200,000 came, less than half of them went back intact, and 40,000 or 50,000 died directly!
Such a casualty ratio is unique since the founding of Great Xia!
Li Qianshun glanced at the Empress Dowager Liang, and his eyes became more and more determined.
Wei Ming Ahsan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the losses were huge, he was good enough to withdraw his troops and go back.
Empress Dowager Liang vented her emotions for a while, and said lightly: "Then withdraw the troops at midnight." ”
"The ministers are in charge." A group of people who had been silent suddenly spoke.
It's not profitable, they don't want to stay any longer, isn't the glory and wealth of Xingqing Mansion uncomfortable?
The corners of Empress Dowager Liang's mouth moved, disgusted in her heart, but she was still sad on her face, lamenting the casualties, and promised to go back to pay more compensation.
The crowd was silent again, Empress Dowager Liang just continued to summarize this defeat and shirk responsibility, how could they interject without interest.
Empress Dowager Liang 'sighed' for a while, and many people came out of the big tent.
Wei Ming, Mei Le Du was busy gathering the soldiers and preparing for the retreat.
Li Qianshun stood on a small hillside, looked in the direction of Pingxia City, and said casually: "Qing family, I heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was the same as me before?" ”
The so-called 'same' is probably a puppet with someone hanging a curtain on it to listen to the government.
Wei Ming Ah Shan didn't really want to get close to Li Qianshun, but this is the emperor in the end, he still has to be submissive, and said with low eyebrows: "Yes." ”
"How did he do it?" Li Qianshun's tone was curious.
He was so pressed by the Empress Dowager Liang that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't even dare to say anything. For the Empress Dowager Liang's national politics inside and outside? He doesn't like it? Or even disgust.
For pro-government, he and Zhao Xu have different ideas? But the same thirst.
Wei Ming Ahsan has been to Bianjing City? Naturally I know something, but I don't know the inside story? Synthesize his hearsay and carefully consider it for a long time? Said: "Your Majesty? The emperor of the Song State, it is said that he received the support of the current deputy minister Zhang Dan, and at the court meeting, he openly forced the empress dowager to withdraw the curtain and return to power? Admiration of the courtiers? Don't dare to object. ”
Li Qianshun frowned when he heard this, with his current prestige, the Manchu Dynasty could not find one or two supporters, and this method would not work at all.
Li Qianshun stood silent for a long time, and said, "You're about to withdraw your troops?" After the Qing family went back, what did they think? ”
Ashan heard a different taste? Thinking of Song Ren's explanation, he hesitated a little? He said, "Minister, obey the holy commands. ”
A smile appeared on Li Qianshun's face? He admires the name Ahsan? I was also very satisfied with his statement.
How many laughs? Without further ado, he turned around and left.
Wei Ming Ah Shan looked at Li Qianshun's back, and the heavy feeling in his heart was incomprehensible.
After thinking about it, he still asked people to send back the news of tonight's withdrawal.
In his mind, the Song army should be happy to know that they had withdrawn their troops. The two armies fought, as in the past, and as soon as they withdrew, it was over.
……
The Western Xia side began to prepare to withdraw the troops at night, and the Song army, which had been staring at it, not to mention the intelligence of Wei Ming Ashan, Qingtianwei, and the Imperial City Division, just from the actions of the summer, the Song army could also make a judgment.
Pingxia City.
Guo Cheng stood at the head of the city, looked at the sudden 'calm' on Xia Jun's side, and said, "How are you preparing?" ”
The two brothers Yao Gu and Yao Xiong could also see it, they were all excited, Yao Xiong said: "Deputy Chief Executive, rest assured, we have gathered 3,000 people, and we will go out of the city overnight tonight and attack the camp!" ”
Guo Cheng shook his head and said, "No need." A letter came from the official family, asking us to obey the command of the commander. ”
The two brothers of the Yao family immediately said: "Zheshuai wants to attack the camp? ”
The Yao brothers knew that Zhi Keshi was the head of Jingyuan Road, and the reinforcements from all walks of life were under his command, not to mention that there were 40,000 people in his hands, if he attacked at night, there would definitely be a big result!
Guo Cheng didn't speak, but his heart was too light.
The Xia army is finally about to withdraw, and if it goes down, Pingxia City may not be able to hold out.
At this time, Zhi Keshi had already mobilized reinforcements from all walks of life, and he was not far from the Xia army camp.
Chong Pu, Wang En, and the seed master were all there, and everyone was full of ambition and prepared to counterattack the Western Xia.
"Zhe Shuai, after holding it for so long, I can finally attack well!"
"Yes, Zhe Shuai, the brothers couldn't help it a long time ago, if it weren't for the cardinal pressure, they would have been beaten a long time ago."
"Zhe Shuai, let's attack at night, last time I let the queen mother, the little emperor run away, this time, we must not let them go!"
A group of people was indignant, quite indignant, and belligerent.
At this time, a guard came in quickly and whispered in Zhi Keshi's ear: "Chief, the official family has arrived in Gyeongju." ”
Zhi Keshi's unsmiling face changed suddenly, and he immediately said, "Got it." ”
Everyone watched Zhe Keshi change color, and they all stopped, and looked at him in unison.
Zhi Keshi naturally knew why Zhao Xu suddenly arrived in Gyeongju, the Xia army ran out of food and grass, the withdrawal was imminent, and the official family suddenly came over, which was not only to boost morale, but also to show that this battle was coming to an end.
Zhi Keshi saw more than a dozen pairs of eager eyes, and said lightly: "Don't attack the camp tonight." ”
This suddenly fried the pot, and a group of generals couldn't help it.
The first of the seed masters spoke, and said: "Commander, the Xia army is tired and wants to withdraw again, it is best to attack the camp tonight, don't miss it!" ”
"yes......"
"yes, yes......"
"It's handsome, you can't miss it......"
Zhi Keshi's face was thin and expressionless, and he said: "Don't underestimate the Xia people, since they want to withdraw their troops, they will not be unguarded, and attacking the camp at this time is to throw themselves into the net." Such a simple truth, do you need to explain it to you? ”
Everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak, Zhe Keshi was right, but they really couldn't help it.
Zhi Keshi continued: "Chong Jianzhong, you prepare 3,000 cavalry, Chong Pu, Wang En follows me to follow the Xia army, and the other armies, out of the Great Wall Ridge, to meet Zong Ze, Chong Jianzhong, Chu You, and then ask the cardinal minister, spread the word to all directions, did you hear clearly?" ”
"The last general commands!"
The crowd didn't dare to talk much, so they got up together and knelt on one knee and said loudly.
Zhe Keshi nodded.
In fact, the Xia army is no longer their main target, and his task is to keep an eye on the Xia army, drag them down, and not give them the opportunity to divide their troops to support other places.
Other armies are entering the Yokoyama area and further occupying the summer land.
At this time, Zhao Xu did arrive in Gyeongju.
By this time, the so-called promises are no longer important - the decisive battle is imminent!
In the back hall of Gyeongju Mansion, Zhao Xu and Zhang Ji were looking at the map, staring at the place they had planned before.
It is not difficult to take these places, the problem is how to hold the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time make the Western Xia no longer fight for it, and the border will stop.
"Can't let them go!" Zhao Xu tapped his fist twice on the map and said categorically.
