Chapter 1155 Friend and foe are inseparable

The conductor opened the skin bag and took a sip: "Burn the knife!" Great stuff! ”

The knight whipped his horse, commanded the second to understand, took another sip, and handed it to the small army next to him: "Everyone take turns to drink, in this weather, the bones are cold." ”

The knight and the commander rode side by side, and the knight asked, "Is this year's harvest okay?" ”

The commander snorted: "That's it, in short, the grass valley is getting harder and harder to fight......"

Tiandu Mountain is now a magical area, and the Western Xia people have repeatedly fought for it, but they have not been able to please Li Wenzhao, but there is a tendency to gradually expand.

Today's Song-Xia border, the Great Song Dynasty completely occupied the geographical advantage, since Su You led the army to break the Xiao Pass, the Hetao area of traditional farming in Western Xia began to decline sharply.

Breaking the Xiao Pass became the turning point of the military confrontation between the Song and Xia Dynasty, and the Song army occupied almost all the geographical advantages from Qingtang to Linzhou, and built a cement fortress densely on the watershed and various passages.

These fortresses are like nails, firmly nailed to the actual control line of Song and Xia, and the offensive line of the Xia people has gradually changed from five roads to one road.

In addition to the Yongxing Military Road facing the Hetao, the Xia people fought hard to defend it, and the other four roads, the Xia people's enterprising passage had been blocked by the Song people.

The pain inflicted on the Song people by the Xia people twenty years ago has now been inflicted on the Xia people by the Song people. After the wheat was ripe and harvested, the military horses took turns to attack the north of the mountain and snatch the wheat in the fields of the Tangut people.

This behavior would continue until the following spring, when the Western Xia tribes were at their weakest throughout the winter, while the Song stables remained fat.

Losing the advantage of war horses, coupled with the differences in wool, cotton jackets, sweaters, gloves and other equipment, the originally brave Xia people can only fight with the Song people in terms of combat power in winter.

This led to the destruction of the land of Shanbei Hetao, and the state of Western Xia, because of the turmoil in this region, became more and more urgent.

In order to maintain the military strength that could compete with the Great Song Dynasty, the ruling class levied and expropriated, and the various Tibetan tribes could not be retracted, and rebellions occurred one after another, especially the Shengfan, who were close to the Song realm, crossed the border in groups and took refuge in the Song people.

In view of such a grim border situation, after Jialiang and Liang Yongneng swept the northern border of Xia and the Xia-Liao border, Empress Dowager Liang immediately appointed Liang Yongneng as the head of the march capital of the four roads in Shanbei, and controlled the Baotai Army to control the army of Yuzang Huama, and the Jishi Army to make Jialiang to stabilize the Song-Xia border.

Liang Yongneng and Jialiang had outstanding abilities, and at the beginning of their tenure, they organized an excellent defense battle to keep the grain in the Hetao Plain for three years of Yuanfeng.

And Li Wenzhao's expansion action in Tiandu Mountain also became timid because of the coercion of the two major military strategists, and finally simply pulled the plundering tribes, the developed team, and the grain, cattle and sheep that he snatched, returned to the Tiandu Mountain base and became a shrunken turtle.

The Western Xia military was invigorated.

However, the analysis of the Great Song Military Aircraft Department is also very reasonable, although Jia Liang and Liang Yongneng have performed well this year, but they can't explain anything.

The two are excellent at the tactical level, and they can't hide the cruel fact that between Song and Xia, the offense and defense are changing.

However, Wang Hou, Li Yong, Tong Guan, and the newcomer Liu Shiheng hated Jialiang so much that they discussed it, preparing you to be the first year of junior high school, and I will be the fifteenth.

Today's Li Wenzhao has transformed from an elite in Western Xia to a hero.

At the beginning, the feelings of resisting the tyrant's tyranny and saving the people from fire and water have long been educated by reality into a pragmatism that preserves strength in the cracks of several forces, and is left and right.

However, the propaganda still adhered to the previous style, and aimed the opposition at the Liang family, who controlled the national government, and played the banner of the Qing monarch.

This trick deceived many people, and even Li Qing, who was far away in Xingqing Mansion, believed in this "loyal minister" who was "painstaking and lonely".

Tiandu Mountain, sandwiched between the Western Xia Baotai Military Division, the Jingsai Military Division, and the Great Song Deshun Army and the Zhenrong Army, because the geographical conditions are very superior, Li Wenzhao actually started to change hands.

Many private contacts between Song and Xia's secret spies, Li Wenzhao turned out to be the guarantor of the matchmaking!

Lord Xia's palace is majestic and magnificent, but it has been entrenched by Li Wenzhao for nearly twenty years and has long been dilapidated.

Seeing the dead horse running in the mountain, the commander took the two knights to go around east and west, and finally the Song knight at the head was impatient, and went directly to the front of the team.

"Huh? Eh, the ......" commander hurriedly hit his horse to meet him: "What are you going to do?" ”

The Song knight sneered: "Isn't the commander afraid of the cold?" Then you don't have to go around in circles, arrive early at Tiandu camp, and everyone should rest early. ”

"It's not the way to go up the mountain!"

"Really? Shall we split up and see who arrives first? ”

The conductor was dumbfounded: "It seems that the noble man is quite familiar with my cottage." ”

The man smiled and said, "When I first came to Tiandu Mountain, I was still a teenager, and I took away your summer lord's white ...... Oh, forgive you, you should be called the first emperor, so you don't have to do it in front of me. ”

The conductor is really convinced this time, the one in front of him is an old guest!

At the moment, there was no longer a detour, and the two of them went directly to the mountain.

Li Wenzhao's power has now expanded to a population of 300,000 and an army of 40,000.

The environment of Tiandu Mountain is good, the water and grass are abundant, the Song people, Li Wenzhao dare not provoke now, and the road has also been blocked, but there is still room for survival in the Western Xia because of the gap between the two military divisions.

Li Wenzhao was very kind to his tribe, and the Song people did not invade his territory, so many fugitives from the two countries who escaped the pursuit of the Song and Xia people, the exiles, and the Shengbo who fled the war came to take refuge, and the Tiandu Mountain area even became a paradise.

Moreover, Li Wenzhao's governance ability, scheming, and military command are all considered to be the leaders in the Xia people, at least the commander of the Baotai Military Division opposite, Yu Zanghuama, and the son-in-law of Forgiveness Zuo, were made by him to have no temper.

Yuzang Huama was originally the leader of the Qingtang tribe, but after the Battle of Weizhou, Xiaoguan, and Hehuang in the Great Song Dynasty, the situation changed dramatically.

The area where Yuzang Huama is located is cut off by Tiandu Mountain and the Xihe River and Huangzhou occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, and Yuzang Huama and Qingtang have completely lost contact!

To survive, there must be a backer, and the Xixia party members are also Tubo, so Yuzang Huama hurriedly took refuge in the Western Xia.

Liang Zuo was overjoyed, married his daughter, who had just turned ten years old, to Yuzang Huama, and appointed him as the commander of the Baotai Army facing the most elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, responsible for guarding Rouwolf Mountain and killing the first line of Niu Ling.

However, in the face of the aggressiveness of the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, the loyalty to the Western Xia was not high, and Yu Zanghua Ma was not a fool.

In his words, after Li Wenzhao became a famous minister in Western Xia, he could get a lot of benefits from Da Song Mei, and he did it all, can't Lao Tzu do it? !

So the two sides were like a competition, vying to make a fortune in business with the Great Song Dynasty, and there were several fires between the two sides, plundering each other's caravans.

Several times it was a real fire, and it was necessary for the Great Song Dynasty to secretly adjust in the name of Tang Shilang, and afterwards Yu Zang Huama also wrote to Xia Ting, proudly saying that he was capable of suppressing bandits, smashed Li Wenzhao's plot, and asked the Empress Dowager Liang to reward and reimburse military expenses.

But with the arrival of Liang Yongneng, Li Wenzhao and Yu Zang Huama both felt the pressure, so they had today's private meeting.

Finally arriving at the palace, the two knights dismounted, and the leader threw the reins to the command: "Give me a good life to serve." ”

The commander led the horse, and the two Song people walked towards the palace.

The basic facilities of the palace are still there, but now in the eyes of the leading Song people, it is more like a cottage than a palace.

On the first tiger skin chair, there is a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, rubbing a string of glass Buddha beads in his hand, next to a rough old man in Tibet, and below him are two rows of leaders.

The two Song people took off their felt hats: "Lord Lao and the horse have been waiting for a long time, we are late." ”

The scribe raised his chin at the two of them, and one of the leaders walked over: "Sorry, old rules. ”

The two knights raised their hands and let the leader search him.

After the leader searched for it, he nodded lightly at the scribe, and the scribe smiled and said, "Brother Wang is late, if you don't come again, the master will have to leave." ”

The scribe is Li Wenzhao, a traitor of Western Xia, and the old man of Tubo next to him is the commander of the Baotai Army of Western Xia, and Yu Zang Hua Ma.

The three-party characters are really indistinguishable from each other.
