Chapter 1307 Liang Yi's scruples

In Xingqing Mansion, after learning that the Song army had obtained Yingli, Weizhou, Yaode, Pule, and Yanzhou, he suddenly stopped marching, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out, and he was bedridden ever since.

The next thing happened, just as Wei Ming Jingsi didn't want it to happen.

The Song army held several front forts with a strong new army, and then swept the back roads with a large number of old troops to clear the remnants of the enemy.

Several hidden teams arranged by Wei Ming Jingsi in the rear of the Song army were soon discovered by the Song army, besieged, cleared, forced into a desperate situation, and then destroyed.

And the Xia people didn't have time to withdraw, and the grain that could only be hidden in a secret place was also searched by the Song army one by one.

In half a month, the situation in the south of the dry sea sandbar has changed greatly.

All the roads were in danger, and the Song people sent troops to garrison them, recruited and persuaded them to surrender, and the Tibetan people took refuge one after another.

I heard that by now, the Song people have sent three cadres and countless officials, with the assistance of the military, to start governing the local area.

And the surrender of the Privy Council's chief officer, Ma Nu Duoge, made the Xia people arrange between the dry sea and Hengshan - hidden troops, grain cellars, and secret spy networks...... Uproot them one by one!

Of course, these are more of the credit of Jialiang, but in order to protect him, the six roads have been counted on the head of Ma Nu Duoge.

Even if there were still generals and soldiers loyal to Western Xia who insisted on resisting, but without the transmission of intelligence and unified command, they could only fight separately like a plate of scattered sand, and their fate awaited them, which can be imagined.

The plan to clear the wilderness, because the Song people suddenly marched for 200 miles, and then rectified the rear, transferred grain and straw, and searched for the remnants of the army's secret spies, the effect was offset by more than half.

And the Song people built several bases on the south side of the dry sea, and it was the second of the five deep places that the Xia people withdrew, leaving only three hundred miles of dry sea!

In the Privy Council of Western Xia, Wei Ming Jingsi had already described the withered tree, lying on his side on the couch, with his eyes closed, listening to Jia Liang and Liang Yi burying military planning.

The voices of both of them were very low, afraid of disturbing Wei Ming Jingsi, but they didn't know that Wei Ming Jing Si didn't fall asleep at all.

Jia Liang frowned tightly and looked at the military map: "Can you withdraw the military strength of Lingzhou and confront the Song army across the river?" ”

Liang Yibury said: "In this way, wouldn't the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness be completely failed? If we surrender and abandon Monan without a fight, how will the Chinese people view us? ”

Wei Ming Jingsi suddenly opened his eyes: "Is the Yellow River frozen?" ”

Jia Liang saw that Wei Mingjing was awake, got up and helped him sit on the couch, tucked his fur fur for him, and served him a cup of hot milk tea: "Guo Lao, the weather is warm this year, the Yellow River is above Xingqing Mansion, and the freezing time in previous years was already less, and there is no sign of freezing this year." ”

Wei Ming Jingsi was a little puzzled: "The army that should be reasoned, but it can't fly?" ”

Jia Liang said: "It is estimated that he was smuggled from Mingsha, and the prime minister has sent Liang Yi to test the truth." ”

"Why don't you send a name Ah Wu or Ren Duo to protect his loyalty? He has never experienced military ......," Wei Mingjing was a little anxious.

Seeing Liang Yi's eyes bowed his head and was silent, and his family Liang secretly sent over, Wei Mingjing Si had already understood before he spoke.

Is the reason unknown? Those two, neither of them is surnamed Liang.

Sighing, Wei Mingjing Si said: "Now, it is too late for the army to withdraw across the Yellow River, Su Mingrun is too stable, and he won't give him any opportunity to take advantage of it......"

Jia Liang said: "Actually, there are still opportunities, didn't General Manager Liang still beat Liu Changzuo nearly 20,000 people before and after, and frustrated the spirit of the Song army?" Fortunately, the Song people stopped and gave us some time to restrain the defeated army and arrange our military strength. ”

Wei Mingjing Si regretted: "If there is no battle, let the Song army go to Lingzhou City and then encircle it, the situation may be different." ”

Jia Liang said: "It is also the military situation that is fickle, Liu Changzuo's army is originally not to listen to the dispatch, and we have to follow Su Mingrun's arrangement, we don't even have this chance." Mr. Liang disposed of it on the spot, and it was already impeccable. ”

"And that battle also gave us important information. It is that the Song army now has chariots and horses, and they are engaged in battles on the plains, and our army may not have much advantage. ”

"Only by separating the chariot and the war horse from each other can we have the opportunity to surprise our army."

"Oh? Do you have an idea? Wei Ming Jingsi asked.

Jia Liang pointed to the many rivers and canals outside Xiazhou City: "I have been thinking about it for days, but I have some ideas...... Prime minister, national elder, please look here. ”

On the military map, outside Lingzhou City, there are some vertical and horizontal lines.

Jialiang said: "This is a water conservancy project dug by Jing Xun back then, and after Jing Xun plotted against him, these canals were abandoned. ”

"If we re-divert water at the mouth of the Yellow River and pour into these canals, the Song people will have to take a lot of trouble to attack Lingzhou, and the chariots will be separated by the canals, and it will be difficult to form a formation, and it is more likely that they will break away from the cavalry."

"When the time comes, our chance will come!"

Liang Yi said happily: "Then it is better to build a levee upstream, and wait until the Song people are under the fortified city, and then we will break the embankment and release the water, so that the Song army will all become fish and turtles!" ”

Jia Liang was a little worried: "It's clever, but if we can do the first year of junior high school, the Song people can do the fifteenth." ”

"Mingsha is now in the hands of the enemy, if the Song army attacks all the way from the Yellow River, the mouth of the gorge is their place of passage, and they can also block it at that time."

"Even the branch canal under Lingzhou City can be blocked, leaving only the main canal to drain water and pour it into Lingzhou. When the time comes...... It's my turn to turn the Lingzhou army into a fish and turtle. ”

Jialiang's concern is not unreasonable, Wei Mingjing thought for a while: "Also, Jialiang's strategy is more secure." Daxiang, I don't think it's better to release the water now, so that even if the Song army comes from Mingsha, they may not want to get the role of the main canal at the mouth of the gorge. ”

"I didn't understand this section until their mid-lane army arrived at the side of the canal, and it was also a violent division in the wilderness, like an arrow, and had to be sent."

Liang Yibury looked at the military map, and was a little reluctant to give up his plan: "But the Song army may not really come from Mingsha, didn't they capture Yaode, just to get the shortest way to march?" And along the Yinzhou River across the dry sea, the road is the most open, can enter the army. And all our intelligence says that a large amount of military funds of the Song people are hoarded there. ”

"If they set out from Mingsha City without dividing their armies, or even if they divide their armies, and the army from the middle road arrives first, and when they are stationed under the city, we will break the embankment and release the water, and submerge it and divide it, then we will not have a good chance of winning this battle?"

"Now the situation is so ugly, if you don't gamble, how can you turn the tables?"

Jia Liang gently tapped the military map with a wooden pen, and muttered for a long time: "Daxiang's thoughts are also reasonable, if the Song people are in the middle of the army, we may have a big victory under Lingzhou City!" ”

"Please cross the Yellow River at night, go to the front line in person, and guard Lingzhou!"

Liang Yi buried his head: "There are many people on the other side, Liang Yongneng, and the troops are enough, Mr. Jia should stay in the center of the town." ”

Jialiang was a little anxious: "The war is about to start, and the minister's clan and army are all in the Western Regions, and now the road is blocked, and the army on the Western Road is completely useless, and the minister is guilty." ”

"If you don't let the minister go to Lingzhou, can you let Guodong lead the people of the West Road and enter the king of Jingqin?"

Liang Yi's eyes flickered, obviously suspicious.

Now the army loyal to the Liang clan has been defeated by the Song people, losing several generals before and after, the army is tens of 200,000 people, and the military strength of the entire Xia State has been killed by two-fifths!

Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion, the remaining total strength is only 300,000, if there are nearly 100,000 people from the Western Route Army who are not damaged at all, the situation will of course be greatly improved.

But the problem is that although Jia Liang has always been very loyal to the country, even if Li Qing is killed and the Empress Dowager Liang is imprisoned by default, it is because of the actions of Bingchang and Li Qing, which is very unfavorable to the Xia State.

But if the Liang family doesn't have the emperor in their hands, will he still listen to the Liang family's orders?

Not only Jialiang has this problem, but Wei Ming Jingsi also has this problem, and even many tribes that are still fighting for Western Xia also have this problem!

Now there are 300,000 troops in Xingqing and Xiping, and those who are really loyal to the Liang family are afraid that there are at most 150,000.

If the army of Jia Liang arrives, and then it cannot be used by the Liang family, the political power balance of the Xia Kingdom will immediately reverse!

Jialiang's conduct, the Xia government and the opposition are very admired, but in the same way, everyone knows that Mr. Jia is only loyal to the Xia State and the orthodoxy of the emperor, but he has always adhered to his own position, and is not a lackey of some powerful ministers.

Liang Yibury finally shook his head: "Now there are 35,000 people from Su Lie and Bao Shun, and it is precisely because of the western army that they have no time to look east, how can it be said that it is useless?" ”
