"Dressed beasts, arrogant!"

The paperwork handed in front of him was slammed on the table by Wang Song. He turned around and looked at the map on the wall, and his heart still couldn't calm down.

Ma Kuo picked up the paperwork, read it with Li Ruoxu.

After a long time, the two raised their heads.

"The nature of the golden jackal is inferior to the beast, the unarmed people have to be slaughtered at will, and they cross the border between the two countries, this move is tantamount to a provocation, which is tolerable and intolerable!"

Li Ruoxu nodded and agreed with Ma Kuo's words.

"The golden man will repay the eyes, and the snake and scorpion will have a heart. In the first battle of Shaanxi, the Jin people lost their soldiers and lost their generals, and Wanyan Lou was also killed in battle. Now that the soldiers are coming, it seems that they have saved up enough spirit and want to take revenge with one arrow!"

Wang Song snorted coldly in his nose. When the soldiers are strong, they are not afraid of you, and now they come again, and the bloody battle will be it.

"Is there any movement in Western Xia?"

Wang Song turned around, his face was already calm, and he sat down in the chair.

"The Western Xia troops were on the border, and it seemed that they were just waiting for the Jin people to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, and then they would attack it in groups. In addition, the Jin people's naval division and our navy met on the East China Sea, and both sides suffered a lot of losses, and the Jin people retreated again. ”

Wang Song nodded, there are many sailors in the Loyal and Righteous Army, and the firearms are sharp, and the Jin people are only afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage.

"How is Jiangnan? I heard that Jinghu is quite noisy, yes or no?"

This peasant uprising in history lasted for five or six years. And Yue Fei, who exterminated them, is now under his own account.

"Xianggong, Mrs. Yang's army has reached hundreds of thousands, not only gaining a firm foothold in Dongting Lake, but also occupying Yuezhou, Chenzhou, Tanzhou and other land prefectures and counties, which has become a climate."

Li Ruoxu nodded and said: "Huguang Xuanfu has made Li Gang retreat in defeat and retreat, and he has withdrawn from Jinghu South Road. Now Yang Mi's army is getting bigger and bigger, and completely controls Jinghu South Road. The imperial court is overwhelmed, and the troops are stretched, I'm afraid there is nothing they can do!"

Wang Song nodded, and secretly sighed how this Yang Qi was so fierce, completely beyond the historical record. No matter how weak the Southern Song Dynasty court was, even if Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others were not there, with the imperial court roads south of the Yangtze River, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others, how could they be so powerless to deal with the small land of Dongting Lake?

"I didn't expect this Mrs. Yang to have hundreds of thousands of people! Even the whole army of my loyal army is only 1670,000 people. It's really terrifying! ”

Wang Song shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.

How did he know that behind the growth of the righteous army, the huge firearms support of the loyal army was indispensable.

There was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people were displaced. In order to maintain high military expenses and daily expenses, the Great Song Dynasty had to increase taxes under various names; The government levied and extorted violently, and the officials went up and down; In order to seek violence, merchants hoarded and hoarded; The people were overwhelmed and starved to death, so they could only give it a go.

"Xixia is ready to move, and keeping it is always a trouble."

Wang Song changed the conversation and said in a deep voice: "This big battle will start with Western Xia."

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, after various wars, the Song Dynasty had completely controlled the barrier of the Western Xia empire, and in the eastern part of the Hengshan region, the destruction of the Western Xia was imminent. In the same year, the Northern Song Dynasty sent an envoy to Lianjin to attack Liao in order to seek the land of clouds, and the Western Xia escaped the catastrophe of destroying the country.

Taking advantage of the discord between the Song and Jin, the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, and the Western Xia also took the opportunity to occupy many military fortresses in the Song and Xia countries, such as the famous Pingxia City, Xi'an Prefecture and other places.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people assigned about thousands of miles of land in the north of Shaanxi to Western Xia. In the third year of Jingkang, Western Xia occupied a large area of the Dingbian Army.

"In Western Xia, there were many Song people, most of whom were well-educated. Such cynicism is quite familiar with the affairs of our Korean army, including the terrain of the border fortress, and it is painful to think about it for the Western Xia!"

Ma Kuo felt that the Liao traitors were stirring up trouble and instigating the Jurchens

People went south to invade the Song Dynasty, which almost caused the Great Song Dynasty to lose the country, and raised their own concerns.

Wang Song nodded, there has never been a shortage of "traitors" in history who are servile and human-faced and beast-hearted. As long as there are profits to be made and high-ranking officials are generous, these people can even betray their own parents and mothers, not to mention any country and nation.

"Publish it in the newspapers, pardon the defectors of the Song people, and grant official positions according to their ability."

Wang Song pondered: "In the bitter cold land of the northwest, these scholars are all frustrated in the imperial examination and living in embarrassment, which is also the responsibility of the government."

"Since Xianggong plans to use troops against Western Xia, where do he plan to attack from, could it be said that it is the Hulu River?"

Li Ruoxu's words made everyone ponder.

Wang Song nodded and said, "Yes, it's the gourd river." The first battle of this battle starts with the restoration of Pingxia City!"

The Hengshan Mountain Range stretches for more than 400 miles, and it is also the key area of the Song and Xia battles. To the south of the westernmost point of the Hengshan Mountains is the Guanzhong Plain controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, while to the north of the westernmost point of the Hengshan Mountains is the Xitao Plain controlled by the Western Xia.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia, using three rivers that ran through the valley, namely: Hulu River, Jingshui, and Luoshui, and the closest to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, was the Hulu River on Jingyuan Road.

Song Zhezong's visit to Israel was a matter of affairs, and Zhang Qi was quite agreeable, and he knew Weizhou. Zhang Qi to the above said to build the city of Hulu River, according to the shape of the victory to force the summer. Zhang Qiyin has a board to build a defense of the preparation of the battle, the handsome four road division out of the Hulu River, and build two cities in the Shimenxia River estuary of the Yin of the good water river. There are two days in the second ten, and the name is Pingxia City, Lingping Stone.

Pingxia City is located at the mouth of the Shimenxia River, the geographical location is very important, the construction of Pingxia City, cut off the road of the Western Xia to the south to attack the Song Dynasty, and controlled the Hulu River that the Western Xia people called the field of singing and music.

During the Daguan period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Song Zhan built Pingxia City as an army, named Huaide Army, and knew the way of military divisions. It has jurisdiction over Qiqi, Yiguan, Shibao and other villages, and supports each other with Xi'an Prefecture and Zhenrong Army. In November of the first year of Jingkang (1126 AD), Xia soldiers captured the Huaide army, killed Liu Quan, the military commander of the Song Dynasty, and sentenced Du Yi. The surrounding Xi'an Prefecture and Zhenrong armies were also reoccupied by the Western Xia.

It can be seen how reckless Zhao Ji is in governing the country, the king of a country, but he is reckless and fickle in state affairs, which can be said to be insufficient success and more than failure.

The matter has come to this point, and now that the loyal and righteous army wants to start from Pingxia City to march into Western Xia, they must also take down this springboard.

Moreover, Wang Song didn't want to be entangled in those entanglements of one city and one place, what he wanted was to kill and injure the other party on a large scale and take the other party's lair.

"Xianggong, the lower official has a word."

The horse was stumbling and spitting, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

Wang Song didn't think it was a little strange, and said with a smile: "What does Ma Xuanzan say, just speak freely, don't hesitate so much."

Ma Kuo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi is stationed in Pizhou, and he is close to Weizhou. Xiang Gong wants to Keping Xia City and march into Western Xia, won't he send Liu Qi as the coach, right? ”

Wang Song nodded. It is not difficult to see that Ma Kuo has concerns about Liu Qi leading the troops.

Sure enough, Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi is a soldier of Deshun and is on Xihe Road, and his brother Liu Xi is the envoy of Xihe in the imperial court, and the Liu family is a famous family in Xihe. Xianggong asked Liu Qi to lead the troops, and the pros and cons of it, Xianggong was still cautious. ”

Liu Qi was born in Jiangmen and was the son of the late Liu Zhongwu, the envoy of the Luchuan Army. His brother Liu Xinai was the envoy of the Song Tingxi River, and in the battle of Shaanxi, he served as the commander of the Fifth Route Army, and he was a real Shaanxi clan.

Xihe Road has jurisdiction over Xizhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou, Tongyuanjun, Lanzhou, Huangzhou, Xining, Jishijun, etc., and borders Pizhou, which is guarded by Liu Qi.

Now, Wang Song asked Liu Qi to attack Western Xia, the eldest brother is like a father, in case his brother joins forces, Liu Qi takes refuge in Liu Xi, not only the success of the plan to defeat Xia, but also the loss of the loyal and righteous army, the vitality of the great injury.

Wang Song also fell into deep thought. Liu Qi is a famous general in history, on the same level as Yue Fei. Shocked Xixia, and defeated Yan Zongbi, big

The gold-breaking iron float, the prosperity of martial arts, although Han Xin's army, is beyond it.

"Xianggong, Liu Xi's defeat in Shaanxi has suffered heavy casualties, and the imperial court is already very suspicious."

Li Ruoxu stepped forward and said: "Liu Qi is stationed in Pizhou, there are only 5,000 people, and if he conquers Western Xia, the prime minister will definitely send another army." Xia Guan Bucai was willing to go to Pizhou with the army to assist Liu Qi, thwart the Western Xia, and ensure the smooth operation of the Northern Expedition. ”

Wang Song raised his eyebrows, and Li Ruoxu really said what was in his heart.

After the war in Western Xia, although it was already sunset, and the vitality was greatly damaged, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the territory were still eyeing the tiger. There are also famous generals like Brother Cha who hold military power, and the 5,000-strong army marches in the summer, which is naturally child's play.

However, the loyal army has always been an elite route, and there will not be 108,000 sergeants for their subordinates to squander. As long as there is an army of 40,000 or 50,000 people, attacking it all the way, it will not suffer a loss.

Moreover, Liu Qi has always won more with less and defeated the strong with the weak. This time, give him tens of thousands of troops and see how he copes.

As for the suspicion of defection, if all the officers under his command betrayed him, then he could only consider himself unlucky.

Even if Liu Qi wants to defect, he has a way to save it. Although his subordinates are fierce generals, they want to stand alone all the way, and he would rather put the treasure on this Liu Qi.

"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!"

Wang Song nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then this land of Shaanxi, I want Li Gong to run away!"

Ma Kuo stopped talking, shook his head slightly, and closed his mouth.

Since the prime minister has already made a decision, he, a staff member, can only bow down and obey orders.

"Transferred 10,000 infantry troops, 3,000 cavalry, and 5,000 spoke soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion, Li Yanxian led his troops north to Pizhou, and joined Liu Qi. Liu Qi is the Marshal of Zhengxia and the envoy of the Economic Strategy, Li Yanxian is the deputy marshal and the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy, and the commander of the Ma Army, Li Ruoxu is the counselor of the Weizhou Marshal's Mansion, and the generals in the army are all under Liu Qi's orders. ”

Li Yanxian is originally from Ningzhou, Shaanxi, and is also quite famous in the local area. Ningzhou's northward march is Pingxia City, and Li Yanxian also has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain. In addition, he commanded the Ma army, even if Liu Qi had some ideas, he had to take into account Li Yanxian's influence.

Ma Kuo nodded secretly, Wang Song had already considered it all by doing so. It seems that he is overhearted.

Wang Song continued: "I will repair a letter to Liu Qi and ask him to bring it to his brother Liu Xi. How to choose the road depends on himself. ”

Ma Kuo said in surprise: "Xianggong, there are more than 30,000 troops in Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion has taken away 5,000, Liu Qi has already taken 5,000, and now if you take away another 18,000 people, Jingzhao Mansion will only have 5,000." In case the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack, it was only afraid that Jingzhao Mansion would be in danger. ”

Qu Duan was killed, the Jingyuan army was scattered, many people were thrown under Wang Song, and Jingzhao Mansion also took advantage of this to recruit troops and horses, and organized and trained more than 30,000 troops.

Because of the existence of the seed army, Yan'an Mansion easily gathered tens of thousands of troops, all under the command of Li Shifu and Chong Yan.

As Ma Kuo said, although Jingzhao Mansion is strong and strong, it is too much to draw 28,000 military horses at once.

"I'd like to see who has such a big guts!"

Wang Song said coldly: "Whether it is Wu Jue or heroes from all walks of life, whoever wants to attack Jingzhao Mansion at this critical juncture, this official must let him know how to write the word regret!"

Everyone in the room was silent. The loyal army is now famous, and whoever wants to produce a moth must also carefully weigh his own weight.

"Xianggong, Liu Qi sent troops to the Hulu River Valley, only this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm Xixia."

Wang Song laughed. Li Ruoxu is really a talent, and he also understands the truth of flying with wings.

"Li Gong is worry-free! Since he wants to fight this war to destroy the country, he will naturally cut off his other arm. ”

The two wings flew together, and the provocation of the Jin people was only to put it down first, take advantage of its unpreparedness, and destroy the Western Xia first.
