Chapter 405: Huanqing
I heard a soft cough outside the account, the curtain was lifted, and a young man walked in.
Glancing at the shoddy topographical maps on several cases, the young man said, "You are Jialiang?" ”
Chao Gu hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The villain is Liang, knock to see the lord of the Great White High Country." ”
Lang Zuo smiled: "How can you see it?" ”
Chao Gu said with a smile: "The guard sergeant outside the tent has not asked out loud, so naturally the lord of the country has come in person." ”
Liang Zuo picked up the belt on the table and looked at it, and said, "I have heard the dispute between the two of you, Mr. Jia, you are very knowledgeable. ”
Chao Gu didn't even dare to say it, and said: "I am also thinking about the safety of the army. ”
Liang Zuo said: "In this way, there is no doubt in employing people, and no suspicion is needed." ”
After speaking, he folded the belt in half, and pointed to the position of the Shimen Gorge with a few cases: "The lion fights the rabbit, and you should use all your strength, the army will go to the front line." Since Mr. values this place so much, how about asking Mr. to summon the familiar man and guard this place? ”
Chaogu was overjoyed: "Thank you for the trust of the lord of the country, Jialiang will definitely do his best!" ”
On the contrary, Liang Yiduo buried a little resentment: "The vultures ......"
Liang Zuo waved his hand to stop him: "Mr. Jia's words are lounging, why don't you listen to them?" Even if you don't listen, you can tell me, and I'll decide! Don't do that again. ”
After speaking, he turned to help Chaogu and said softly: "There is a proverb among the Han people, loyalty is good for action, and poison is good for disease." Although I am young, I am not a person who does not listen to advice. ”
"Mr. Xinfu, he is not in a hurry to establish his work, but he thinks about Xia Guo everywhere. I have also heard about the fact that you were entrusted by your boss to travel thousands of miles to deliver silver. It is difficult to be loyal to people, and it is really a kind person. ”
"Therefore I can trust you, sir, and it will be delivered to you."
Chao Gu was grateful, and bowed down again: "Even if Jia Liang is broken, he must repay the trust of the vulture!" ”
……
Weizhou City, Sitong Firm, Wang Shao sent a list.
The trade with the Tangut was very complicated, and it was a special commodity of the Sitong Merchants, and did not appear in the account books of the city of Weizhou.
Strictly speaking, this is smuggling. The front desk figure of the smuggling is Cheng San, the middleman is Wang Shao, and the next family is Chaogu.
The big black man behind the scenes is naturally Su You.
Wang Shao's code name is Tang Shilang, and there is a rumor on the underground black market in Weizhou that there is a luxury figure in Shaanxi, and everyone knows about his existence, but no one has ever seen this person.
All transactions are carried out through messages, as long as you release the news of what you want, someone will naturally come to your door and complete the transaction with you.
Chong Yi rushed in with a bill of goods: "Brother Mouse, there is an elephant bone paperweight in the list this time!" ”
Su Hui is the financial manager of Sitong Firm, and in fact, he also serves as the chief of the Weizhou Tingfeng Pavilion.
After receiving the list sent by Wang Shao, he looked at the date on the list, and then began to look for books from the shelves.
"Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Yi", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn", the delivery date on the list is the nineth, that is the "Book of Rites".
The first item on the list, fifty golden hairpins. A total of three hundred and twenty Shu banknotes.
Turning to the fifth page, "The gentleman said: 'Etiquette and pleasure must be removed, and happiness is used to cure the heart, and Yi Zhizi's heart of forgiveness will arise spontaneously. ”
The twenty-first word, "forgiveness".
Su Hui wrote this word on the white paper, and suddenly became more serious.
The third item, thirty-four pieces of dark flower red brocade silk collar. A total of one hundred and zero Shu banknotes.
Found it, "make lewd sounds, strange clothes, strange skills, strange weapons to suspect the public, kill." ”
wrote the word "work" on the paper again, and Su Hui's heart suddenly pounded, big information!
This is the communication method agreed upon by Su You and Chaogu, and there are many such communication methods, and this is just one of them.
Marked by a few small commodities that do not attract attention, such a delivery order indicates that it contains intelligence information.
On the delivery order, five books are determined by date, and a cycle of five days is counted, and even-numbered goods are counted on a single day, and odd-numbered goods are counted on a double-day basis.
The number of items indicates the page number, and the price mantissa indicates the position of the word.
There are a lot of commodities in Weizhou, and the prices are zero and whole, and those fractions, Chaogu is distributed as the interests of the cadres, and finally it is still a whole number to the Xixia people, and no one can see anything.
The two also agreed that Yongchunlu would be the end of the messaging, and what would come after Yongchunlu would be invalid information.
Soon the news came out, "Forgive Zuo, Tiandu Mountain, 70,000 troops."
Su You is now stationed in the Zhenrong Army, staying with Chong Xu, and the map and sand table have been transferred to the White Tiger Hall of the Zhenrong Army.
When the news arrived, Su You and Chong Yu were studying the situation in Weizhou, opened the note and read it, and Su You handed the news to Chong Xu: "The news from Tianzi No. 1 is fine. ”
He opened it and took a look: "Tianzi No. 1, who is it?" ”
Su You stabbed the sky with his finger: "Those who know his identity, besides me, there is also a King Ying, are you sure you want to know?" ”
Chong Yu immediately waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't!" Don't want to know! ”
Then he got down to business: "Combined with the information sent by the Tibetan Ministry, there is no doubt that Weizhou is the main direction of attack of the Western Xia people. ”
Su You asked, "That Li Wenzhao is available?" ”
Chong Zhen shook his head: "Don't think too much, he is the kind of person who is the most loyal to Western Xia, but he is loyal to his own race, not to the royal family." ”
Su You muttered: "I'm ashamed, people are the forerunners of history......
He shook his head: "There is no king, a chaotic minister and a thief!" ”
Su You was speechless: "The fire has burned your eyebrows, let's talk about this at another time...... Then report to Xue Gong and tell him that Weizhou is where the main force of the enemy army is, and he can order Wulang to attack at the right time and counterattack Liang Yongneng in Huanqing! ”
"Inform the four departments of Ho'an, Control Crane, Luzhou, and Kuizhou to start operations according to the predetermined plan, and the reconnaissance cavalry will be placed hundreds of miles outside Guyuan, and must arrive at the periphery of Shimen Gorge."
"Once we are sure that the main force is here, we don't need to wait any longer and send troops first. The Zhenrong army and the three divisions of Lu, Kui, and Guanhe took the lead in snatching and consolidating Jiuyang, Dingchuan, Gaoping, and Sanchuan Zhuzhai, and sniping the enemy army layer by layer. ”
"Hoarding the security army, one person and two horses, in the thirty-mile valley outside the mouth of Shimen Gorge, first fight an ambush, eat one of the Western Xia strikers, and provoke Lang Zuo to attack!"
Chong Yu admired Su You, but he was a little worried: "Mingrun, our army took the initiative to attack, will it cause criticism from the court?" ”
Su You said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." ”
He stood up and saluted: "The last general will obey!" ”
Su You rolled his eyes: "Okay, you're a big man, in fact, this is what you think, right?" You have to say it out of my mouth, and you will obey again. ”
He said with a smile: "I am just a martial artist, and the court blames it, and there is a big man like Tanhua first...... Let me tell you, this feeling is so good! If the court's civil and military systems are all like you, this system, the military master, I will also admit it! ”
Su You said: "When the army is deployed, inform Lao Xue that military management will be implemented in Weizhou City immediately." ”
"The Xia Fan Army only served in the military the year before last, and it can't be moved for the time being." After speaking, he threw the baton on the sand table: "You know the big plan, from now on, you are the main general, and all the military forces in Weizhou will be dispatched by you." ”
"Hachiro and I went to stock up on the village, we are only responsible for managing the logistics at the moment, and then we are responsible for guarding the village. The rest, it's up to you! ”
Kind of clenched his fists: "Wei Shuai rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”
……
Once the wheels of war are in motion, many things are no longer subject to human will.
Huanzhou and Gyeongju, Xue Xiang still sacrificed the old method, dug a trench outside the walled fort, and resolutely did not fight, resisting Liang Yongneng's first impact.
The wisdom of the generals on both sides burst out from time to time.
Liang Yongneng is not a good person, he has just sent troops, Huanzhou is familiar with Qiang, and Sishun, who assisted in the defense of Dashun City, raised his clan to surrender, which brought a great crisis to the defensive battle of Huanqing.
It was not arranged in advance, and Su Youxin didn't believe it.
In order to alleviate the crisis in Dashun City, Xue Xiang used the newly delivered thistle terrestris from Shangzhou and sprinkled it overnight under the section of the river that Liang Yongneng's army was preparing to pass.
When Liang Yongneng ordered the cavalry to cross the water, they were mostly tripped by thistles, and the sergeants all exclaimed.
Cai Ting declared that Sishun would return, renovated Sishun's official residence in Dashun City, sent troops to the west, and made a gesture of receiving Sishun's return.
Liang Yongneng really suspected Sishun because of this, poisoned him, abandoned Dashun City, and attacked Rouyuan Village.
In the process of transferring the army, the deputy envoy Zhang Yu attacked the camp at night and dealt a big blow to the Western Xia army.
Rouyuan City is small and in a sinister situation, but Xue Xiang had long expected that it was Liang Yongneng's real main direction of attack, and it was the most warlike old fifth of the breed family who was arranged there.
The farmer ordered the familiar households near the border to enter the Qingye, dug trenches all over the place, and ordered each village not to face the battle, posing as a weak chicken.
Then an ambush of a crossbow team was placed in the trenches.
Three days after the war, Liang Yongneng couldn't stand it anymore, how could the weak chicken hold on for so long?
So he personally went into battle to supervise the battle, but he was almost killed directly by the strong crossbow in ambush.
In the end, both sides exhausted their means, but they couldn't help each other, and the Huanqing situation entered a stage of stalemate.
