Chapter 1231: The battle begins again

Yongxing Military Road, Huanzhou.

If you talk about the first line of Hengshan, the part of Shaanxi Road has now been pinched to death by the Great Song Dynasty, and on the first line of Yongxing Military Road, the strength is relatively weak.

There are historical reasons for this.

There are few Han people in this area, and there are many Tibetan people, and it is their past tradition that the Fan people in Huanzhou and the Western Xia people were sent to spy on the news, and the Xia people enthusiastically led the way when they attacked.

This situation lasted until the fourth year of Qingli, when Chong Shiheng managed Qingjian City, changed his position to the governor of Huanzhou, and gave good care to the Tibetan people.

At that time, Chong Shiheng inspected the territory and went deep into the Qiang people's condolences.

The big leader of the Huanzhou Fan tribe was stubborn and conceited, and Chong Shiheng contacted him and said that he would go to his tribe to offer condolences the next day.

It was a heavy snow at night, and the slave thought that Chong Shiheng would definitely not go, but Chong Shiheng kept his promise and came to the slave's tent in the face of the heavy snowstorm.

The slave was moved and convinced, and the people of the tribe were in a hurry to obey the order.

From then on, the surrounding provinces of Huanzhou began to submit to the Song Dynasty and gradually became the decisive force in defending the Yongxing military road.

As a result, in the Zhao period, the situation changed again.

At that time, Su You and Han Jin divided power, each guarding one side, Han Jin trusted the spies of the Xia people on the Yongxing Military Road, used the wrong strategy, created Han and Tibetan contradictions, discriminated against the Tibetan people, and caused the rebellion of the elite Fan cavalry Guangrui Army in Huanqing, which brought a serious setback to the military of the Yongxing Military Road.

Although Su You actively remedied it afterwards, the Yongxing Military Road, on the whole, was still behind compared with Shaanxi, which had been booming.

Another important reason is the location.

On today's Shaanxi Road, the Song army completely occupied all the watersheds and achieved a condescending advantage.

And here in Huanzhou, the terrain has begun to become low and flat, and the overall is still high in the north and low in the south.

Huanzhou is located at the lower estuary of the confluence of the White Horse River and the Guide River, and when the Xia people attacked, they could freely choose two river valleys and come from a high position, which was actually somewhat unfavorable to the defenders from a geographical point of view.

This is the forefront of the Yongxing military road facing the Western Xia, and to the north of Huanzhou, there are Shubo and some Han people who live between Baima and Guide, and some Han people are brave and archers.

After Di Yong's arrival, the army here was no more than 2,000 people.

So Di Yong first recruited the Tibetan Ministry, and then set up Hongdeqi and Guangenqi in the river valley further north of Tuntian, so as to consolidate the border defense.

After receiving Zhao Ji's will, Di Yong organized the Xiafan around Huanzhou into several brave units, practiced on time, and promoted brave warriors from them, and finally got a mixed army of Fan and Han, riding and foot, totaling 5,000.

Zhao Ji was very happy, and ordered Di Yong to comfort his subordinates and give them the treatment of the old-style forbidden army.

In April, the wheat seedlings had just begun to draw seedlings, and when they entered the period of vigorous growth, Di Yong received a report from the scouts that the general of the Xia Kingdom had come to attack Huanzhou with 20,000 people.

The leader of Huanzhou was reluctant to give up the wheat in the field, and he was quite arrogant about the success of the plunder, so he sent troops to fight with the former army of Gangmeng, and was lured into the encirclement and ambushed by Gangmeng, and the whole army of 500 Fancai was annihilated.

After winning the first battle, the flying soldiers broke through the unguarded Hong Deqi and immediately led the army south along the White Horse River.

On the other side, Jia Rong, the young general who guarded the return to the Dechuan Guangen, was shocked to hear that Hong Deqi had been captured, and was afraid that his back road would be copied, so he reacted very quickly, and led the defenders of 500 people to retreat from the Guide River, and crossed the White Horse River before the rebellion, and continued to harass and harass the rebellion on the route of the rebellion, so as to block the speed of the march of the rebellion and buy time for the two Sichuan and Tibetan tribes to retreat into Huanzhou.

The Song Xia War suddenly broke out in Huanzhou for no apparent reason!

From the courtiers to the border ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, including Su You, no one thought that Liang Yongneng would dare to suddenly provoke at this time, and Zhao Ji urgently recalled Su You, who was still in Zhongmu with his children to catch hedgehogs in the melon field, to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Gu in the side hall looked strong and stubborn: "The war is easy to start, and the disaster is difficult to stop!" Huanzhou Di Yong, when the army was raised after the autumn of last year, Ben should have expected the Xia people's revenge today! ”

Sun Gu is the old man of Zhao Xuan's mansion, when Zhao Gu was still the king of Ying, Sun Gu was his attendant, and later became the crown prince, and he was a waiter, he was famous for his ambition in his childhood, and when he read the "Analects" at the age of nine, he said: "I can do this." ”

After entering the office, he stood on the team of stubborn conservatives, but whether it was a conservative or a reformist, he admired his character. Therefore, it is more dangerous and not harmed by people. ”

It belongs to the breed of "people can't bear to be bullied".

Therefore, when he talked to Zhao Ji, he was more casual and dared to speak out.

Zhao Ji said: "When I took Suizhou, Sun Weng persuaded me to take the precaution first, and told me that it was appropriate to show the letter to people from afar. He also told me that a soldier is a murder weapon, and that he must not be reckless, and that he will regret his recklessness. ”

"However, now that the chaos in Western Xia has been presented, the day before yesterday, Miao gave a recital, saying that what Yu Zang Hua Ma said is generally true, and the Xia Lord has been imprisoned by the Queen Mother, this is a good opportunity to forge ahead, the ambition of the ancestors, how can you forget?"

Sun Gu said: "Miao Zhu's words are still between the two, and there is chaos in Western Xia, no one can see it, and there is no way to prove it. ”

"However, Hongde and Guangen have lost one after another, Huanzhou is in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty has the disaster of overthrowing the city, but this is already a disaster that is already happening."

"Your Majesty, if the Western Army is prepared, how can it be lost? Since we have lost this way, it means that we are not fully prepared, and the defense is still insufficient, but how can we talk about progress? ”

"Also, Gao Zunyu is a minister of Huanqing, where is he now? He kept saying that he was preparing the elite for the country, and the enemy army committed a major crime, but it has not been heard of until now, and the ministers participated in the impeachment of his dereliction of duty. ”

Zhao Ji pretended to be stupid: "Prime minister, now is the time to talk about solutions, even if what you just said makes sense, do you have to rush first and then delay?" Solve the problem at hand? ”

Sun Gu said angrily: "I'm afraid that if the ministers don't discuss it first, urgent matters will follow one after another, and a wave will not be settled, and a wave will arise again!" ”

Zhao Ji was very helpless: "What about the cardinal's opinion?" ”

Sun Gu said: "Today's plan, when you stick to Huanzhou, order Fan Chun of Shaanxi Road and Li Ji of Yongxing Military Road to rescue each other, and then send envoys to Xia, wait for the truth to be measured, and wait for their return, so that they can show the book of the common way in the world, and send the king to ask for it!" ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing: "Shu is really an honest person, you must know that the military affairs are treacherous, if Su Mingrun is here, he will not agree with this." ”

Sun Gu was so anxious that his face turned red: "Your Majesty, can you still laugh?" Although the minister knew that his ability was not as good as Su You, he repeatedly recommended him to take the position of Feng Jing, but although His Majesty went to Feng Jing, he ordered the ministers one after another. ”

"Back then, Bao Zheng impeached Zhang Fangping and went to office, but he succeeded him, and was ridiculed by Ouyang Wenzhong, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this is a vassal! ”

After speaking, he took off his head: "The minister will be released today, if Your Majesty must go west, please order Su You to be the prime minister, the minister is fortunate that His Majesty has won people, and there is no complaint!" ”

"Ouch! Sun Gong, what is this for? A voice sounded at the door: "Your Majesty, Sun Gong is the minister of the Qiandi, Your Majesty wants to read Sun Gong Chunde more, how can you force him to take off his head?" ”

Zhao Ji stood up and said, "Fu Guogong can be regarded as coming, you and Sun Gong discuss the battle situation in Huanzhou, and then report it to me after the agreement, I still have other things to do here......

Sun Gu grabbed Zhao Ji's sleeve: "Your Majesty can't go, what can be bigger than the invasion of the enemy country?" ”

Zhao Ji couldn't pull with the old man, so he had to say: "Okay, then Sun Weng, you let go first, I won't go, right?" ”

Su You took out a stack of documents and maps from his leather bag: "Sun Gong, Your Majesty, this is just a small attack by the Xia people, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation, although rest assured." ”

Now Zhao Ji really didn't leave: "The Xia people are menacing, they captured two villages in a row, Di Yong lost five hundred fine horses, why did Fu Guogong say this?" ”

Su You said: "The minister has just sorted out the copywriting of the chapter in the military aircraft department, and Di Yong's recital does not mean to ask for reinforcements, which shows that he is still very sure of holding Huanzhou." ”

Sun Gu disagreed: "The border generals are afraid of the court's investigation, and they are often arrogant, didn't Ren Fu think that Li Yuanhao was easy to deal with?" ”

Hey, this old man is really not taboo when he speaks, Su You had no choice but to say: "Of course, the intelligence is not only this. ”
