Facts have proved that Wang Yan's judgment at the earliest time was correct, and at this juncture, even if the Western Xia wanted to, it did not have the ability to interfere with the vigorous suppression of bandits in the border areas of the Song State.

The hegemony of the Liao State on the surface was temporarily in a vacuum, and there was a confrontation within the Western Xia, and the Tubo and the Hui partridges who were ready to move were on the border of the Western Xia, although they did not openly start a war, but it was the same as the Song and Xia confrontations at that time, and the harassment and looting incidents continued.

Regarding this kind of issue, even in the later era of civilization, the disputes between countries over national boundaries are not clear, let alone the entanglement of this barbaric era.

During this special period, Wuzang Pang and Wuzang Heiyun temporarily reached a unity of opinion, and they also believed that even if the Song people really launched an invasion, the damage would be limited, because the Song State was a state of etiquette in a relative sense, and would not loot and kill people casually. But the horse thieves from Tibet and the Hui partridges are really not soft, and the place they pass is similar to the concept of pests.

Based on this, the Western Xia court greatly transferred cavalry from the Xiangyou Military Division and the Right Wing Shenyong Military Division to the west to deal with the increasingly serious threat from the west and southwest.

It is true that the power of the Zang Pang was obtained by indulging the border army, and the interests of the Western Xia border army were closely related to the group of horse thieves that Wang Yan was strrangling. The Western Xia border army also raised the voice of sending troops to intervene in "Wang Yan's massacre of border people and ethnic cleansing".

But Empress Dowager Wu Qiang does not support this statement. Now that the west is in an emergency, there is no slander and Pang cannot support this statement, so he can only forcefully draw the border army to the west.

In view of the fact that the Western Xia now has to deploy heavy troops in the west and southwest to deal with it, then on the other hand, there is a continuous war on the border of the Song State to drag down the Song army, which has become the interest of the Western Xia court, so the tacit principle of the Western Xia is now: not to openly intervene in the "internal affairs of the Song Dynasty", Xiangyou and the Shenyong Military Division stay in the garrison and cannot act, but acquiesce in supporting the horse thieves in the Three Mountains and Seven Villages, including but not limited to providing horses and weapons, and some people have taken off their military uniforms and have volunteered to enter the Three Mountains and Seven Villages area to provide command and support to the horse thieves......

At the end of April, the battle against bandits, which lasted for nearly a month, was extremely difficult.

There are "volunteers" of the Xixia border army who bring their own lunch boxes to participate, and there is a continuous supply from the right wing of the Shenyong Army Division to transport the horse thieves in the three mountains and seven villages.

In addition to the defeat of the Zhanzhao Department in the early stage, the Quanlin Department and the Chen Ergou Department, which went deep into the hinterland to fight sports battles, also made limited progress, although they had many confrontations with scattered small horse thieves, but they did not take advantage of it for the time being.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to supply the mobile troops in the hinterland of the horse thief area. Although they were all cavalry battles, in the case that the Song army's horse combat technology was obviously inferior to that of the thief army, Wang Yan's strategy required them to maintain high mobility, so they could not carry too many supplies, although there was a large advantage in logistics technology due to the compression of military rations. However, as the war continues to the present, it has become more and more difficult to supply the blessed land in the enemy-occupied areas.

There has been no great progress in the whole Berlin and Chen Ergou Department. The Zhanzhao Department and the Ma Jinsi Department, which had lost some morale, adopted the strategy of attraction and retreat and defense, and in the face of the pressure of the main force of the horse thief army, they had lost many battles and retreated to the west of the Yulin River. For the time being, across the river, the main force of the horse thief army was restrained with the range advantage of the flintlock pistol, which seemed to be resisted, but the pressure was very great, and the casualties were not light. Fortunately, in this way, the main force of the thief army is relatively concentrated, and the battle line is extended, so that the whole Berlin Department and Chen Ergou, who can find opportunities for the blessed land, greatly increase the depth and reduce the pressure.

In addition, under the current political pressure, almost the entire northwestern officialdom is impeaching Wang Yan for his misconduct, and the sound of pills is everywhere.

Xiucai literati all believe that the number is at an absolute disadvantage, the Funing army can not win this battle, has made a fatal strategic mistake, only two battalions to defend the Yulin River estuary, once the main force of the murderous horse thief army breaks through the river defense line, then the cavalry of the horse thieves will come to Funing County, the time required will be much shorter than everyone thinks.

Once Funing County falls, in the case that Wang Yan breaks the balance and the horse thieves run wild, it will be completely out of control, and I am afraid that the Suide Fortress will also become a war zone. The Western Xia would continue to support the Song state's "civil strife".

No one wants to turn their homeland into a war zone, so in addition to political pressure, the scolding in public opinion is getting louder and louder. This is no longer "Da Song is afraid to become the biggest loser", but a pill scenario......

The Yongxing Army Road Shuai Division, the head of the capital management of the town, monitored this extremely unfavorable situation.

Chong E and Wang Yan have a grudge, but he really doesn't want the Funing army of the Great Song Dynasty to be ruined.

However, now there is no political support in Funing County, and the new order of the Privy Council has not arrived for a long time, which means that the cavalry of the Hubei Department cannot cross the border to participate in the battle.

There are only two situations in which the right to act can be unlocked without waiting for an order, one is the start of the national war, but Wang Yan is "ruling and suppressing bandits" this time. Another condition was that the county seat of the Great Song Administrative Region was attacked by the armed forces of the Great Song Dynasty. Without these two conditions, if a soldier who has never had the right to arbitrarily decide on the occasion of an attack under martial law will surely die.

So in addition to being in a hurry, there was no other way but to wait for orders and observe carefully.

In short, Chong E felt that Funing County Pill was very optimistic about the situation. Wang Yan's tactics are fundamentally contrary to military theory. He kid wants to pretend to be ruthless, and it is not impossible to move the three mountains and seven villages, declaring war, of course, he should surprise the troops, quietly gather superior forces, and uproot the two cottage strongholds in one breath to form a deterrent, this is the correct way to open.

However, this time, the little kid wanted to talk about the royal way and play some tricks of famous politicians to win the hearts of the people, which almost led to self-immolation.

Chong E felt very sorry for the Funing Army, they were a group of good soldiers, but this time they were destined to be cut off by the yellow-haired little politician. Because even if the conditions for sending troops to the war were ripe, Funing County was besieged. But it was too late to send troops from Yan'an Mansion to intervene, so he had to choose to order Cao Shouyi's troops to send troops.

However, with the bitter enmity between Cao Shouyi and the Funing Army, Lao Cao is afraid that it is better not to send troops. If he really let him send troops, everything is possible on the battlefield, and Cao Shouyi may not know whether to fight horse thieves or stab friendly soldiers.

"It's difficult, the soldiers are pitiful, and the politicians are undisciplined!"

General Chong'e sighed endlessly after thinking about this......

The current situation is really scary, as a young scholar, the war has continued until now, Lu Huiqing's command has also begun to lose its discipline, and he has a premonition that the situation is extremely unfavorable, once the main force of horse thieves breaks through the Yulin River and the soldiers are in the city, in the case that Wang Yan killed the negotiation envoy of Sanshan and Qizhai, Funing County is really dangerous.

At present, the mood in the county has also been affected a lot, and the morale was high at first, but now everyone is at a loss.

It is a matter of life and death, at this darkest moment, Lu Huiqing didn't dare to be crazy anymore, so he had to invite the big demon king who was "under house arrest" by him out of the town and take over this precarious stall......

The county government headquarters was in a mess, quarreling with each other and blaming each other, and scattered military newspapers were backlogged on the table, and no one knew what to do now.

There was a group of extremely panicked representatives of the people outside the county office, and they wanted to wait for the big demon king they trusted to come out and say something.

When the commotion was inexorable, I saw Wang Yan, who was wearing civilian clothes and had not seen him for a long time, walking out with his hands behind his back, so they stopped arguing and calmed down instantly.

Everyone consciously stepped back and gave way, and Lu Huiqing accompanied Wang Yan to sit in the high hall.
