Chapter 16 The Prime Minister of Western Xia (Seeking Collection and Recommendation Votes)
Liu Changzuo sneered: "Senator Zhang's clever plan to say frankly as soon as possible, our partial army is here, and the Western Thief Scouts will soon learn that if they send someone over to surround it, the consequences will be unpredictable, so I have to make a decision as soon as possible." β
Zhang Bin immediately explained his plan in detail, and after half an hour, the impatience on Liu Changzuo's face had disappeared, and he became excited, and when he looked at Zhang Bin again, his expression was very different.
Before, Zhang Bin, as one of the many staff officers around Chong Ge, was a mediocre man, but he didn't want this son to be hiding all the time, the matter of the Black Luo Department can be regarded as a hurry, but what he said just now is conclusive, reasonable, and well-founded, such a detailed and interlocking sneak attack plan can reflect too many things.

Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia Dynasty, rode a Hexi horse, wearing a round-necked robe with purple flowers and narrow sleeves, surrounded by a group of people, looking at Dashun City from a distance, thinking that even if the secret spy division without the control of the collector got the deployment of Dashun City, if he wanted to capture this fortified city, many people would have to die.
No matter how many party members die, Liang Yi will not have the slightest pity in his heart, but it will not be good if his status in the Western Xia Kingdom is affected because he dies too much.
Liang Yibury is a Han Chinese, only in his thirties, but he is already a powerful minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, the reason for this is because he is the younger brother of the current Western Xia Empress Dowager, and the only uncle of the Western Xia, and now the Western Xia lord is young, and the Liang family is in the dynasty with the Queen Mother, and the Western Xia is controlled by the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister.
Of course, being controlled by two Han people in the Western Xia Dynasty is mainly because they do not have the Yeli family and the collector behind them who can threaten the Hao family or force under the rule of the Xia Emperor, and because they are Han people, no one in the Xia State will worry that they can seek the country and usurp the throne, and the various wealthy families led by the Wu Zang family and the Yeli family were bullied by Yuan Hao very badly, but they were happy to see the Liang brothers and sisters make the lord of the country a waste-like existence.
In short, under the mutual containment and acquiescence of all forces in the Western Xia Kingdom, coupled with the fact that the Liang brothers and sisters are indeed very capable of means and capabilities, there will be a situation where the court of the Western Xia Kingdom is temporarily controlled by two Han people.
Although the Western Xia Kingdom occupied the fertile land of the Hetao Plain and learned to cultivate with the Han people, it seemed that only the Han people could do a good job in farming and farming, and their grain production could not go up, even if they added hunting, they could only fill the stomachs of half of the party members, and a quarter of the party members could barely starve to death by relying on the annual gifts of the Song State for food, but the remaining quarter of the party members could only plunder everywhere.
The Xia Kingdom was surrounded by the Tubo and Hui people, as well as the Mongols in the north, the Khitans in the east, and the Song in the south.
The Khitan they don't dare to provoke, the Tubo, Hui and Mongolian people are poorer than them, and the living environment is even worse, so that the people of these three ethnic groups are the most desperate, with the current force of the Xia Kingdom, these three ethnic groups are certainly not opponents, but the problem is that they can't grab much if they win, and the loss is not small, it is really not cost-effective, so even if the Song State has the so-called New Year's gift every year, the party still wants to rob the Song people.
Fortunately, after robbing the Song people, as long as they leave with their things, they do not occupy the land of the Song people, and then write to the Song court in time to ask for peace, and the looted things do not have to be returned, not to mention, the annual gifts of the Song people will not be less than the slightest.
It's just that since Fan Zhongyan presided over the military administration of the northwest for a period of time, the routine of the party members has gradually become ineffective, and it has become more and more difficult to grab things, not to mention, there have been many losses, and even two defeats.
Of course, from Liang Yiburi's point of view, the death of some party members, and the food is barely enough, which is also a way to solve the problem.
But the problem is that the snow was too big last winter, and the cattle and sheep of the various tribes of the party froze to death countless times, and the New Year's gifts sent by the Song State were deliberately mostly silk, porcelain and wine, and last year did not even send a grain of grain, and the Xixia Kingdom suffered a defeat before and could not be strong, which led to the severe shortage of grain in the Xixia Kingdom after the beginning of spring and before the new grain came down.
Now half of the people in Western Xia have run out of food, so they can only send a large army south to grab food, and even Liang Yi, as the prime minister, has to personally lead one of the armies to the south.
Considering the 'difficulty' of Dashun City, and there are such difficult characters as Ge to guard it, Liang Yibury wanted to take advantage of the meridian path in the Hengshan Mountain to bypass Dashun City and rob in the hinterland of the Song Kingdom. As a result, the waste of the lynx failed to hide, and Liang Yibury had no choice but to lead the army to fight the hard bone of Dashun City.
To be honest, if there is any other way, Liang Yi will never want to gnaw hard bones. Because there are too many people who die, it will bring a lot of trouble to yourself.
Therefore, after Liang Yibury prepared to attack Dashun City for two days, if the city was not broken, he left 30,000 people to continue to attack Dashun City, and the other 20,000 people took turns to go south in batches to burn and loot.
"Prime minister, all the ministers have already gathered in the big tent." Liang Yibury was looking at Dashun City, and a subordinate came to report.
Liang Yibury took a deep breath, and felt a little headache when he thought of what might happen when he waited for a while.
After returning to the big tent and saluting each other, Liang Yibury went straight to the point and said: "We don't have much food and grass, and if we stay here for one more day, we will lose one day's food, so without further ado, we will discuss the siege of the city now." β
When Liang Yibury spoke, his eyes swept the audience, and the generals in the tent dodged their eyes, obviously no one wanted to be the first to attack the city, and everyone wanted to be the first to go south to plunder.
Liang Yi scolded secretly, and continued to say loudly: "When attacking the city, there are three chapters of the law, and when you hear the drum horn, you will advance, and if you hear the gold, you will retreat, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Those who ascend to the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level! Fight the cowardly, slash! Besides........." He paused for a moment, and then continued: "The first to enter the city, and can open the gap, so that the successors of the rear army, the treasures of the Dashun City treasury, will be returned to this department, and half of the weapons and armor of the Song army will also be rewarded to this department!" After the city was broken, it plundered for three days. β
As soon as Liang Yi's voice fell, he found that a greedy aura began to fill the tent, and he knew that the effect had been achieved, so he began to issue orders.
As Liang Yi's order was issued, some people were happy, some were disappointed, and some people were even resentful.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the city of Dashun.
He had already summoned all the generals and issued operational mobilization and orders, and all defensive tasks were carried out in an intense and orderly manner in accordance with the previously agreed arrangements.
β¦β¦
Half a day later, on the city wall of Dashun, Chong Mo commanded the defenders to constantly attack with strong crossbows and hard bows, and there was no need to aim at all, and the arrows flew down the city like a rain of locusts, always hitting a few Western Xia soldiers.
At several important openings, the commanders of each battalion braved the enemy's arrow rain to lead people to constantly push down the rolling stones and trees, and some people set up iron pots on the city walls, desperately fanning the fire and burning the oil pot.
As soon as the oil was boiling, Song soldiers immediately poured it under the city, and suddenly there was a wailing sound from the city.
But the soldiers of the Western Thieves seemed to be dying one by one, and the offensive continued, and the fighting did not stop.
