"Xiao Jieshuai, do you really want to change the route to the north to deal with Liu Jingluo? Our army has not yet exchanged words with Tong Xuanshuai, and easily led the army into the territory of the Xia Kingdom, but there is no other part of the Western Road to echo...... I'm afraid it's very inappropriate. ”

Xiao Tang glanced at Liu Zhongwu, who was a little hesitant, and then looked around at the generals with different expressions present, but he said categorically: "Since the troops are under my full command, this commander naturally has the right to lead his troops to support General Liu. The generals also understood that Tong Xuanshuai ordered General Liu to lead only 20,000 soldiers and horses to take Shuofang, and the Xia army could use the geographical advantage to transfer the army to cut off General Liu's troops at any time! Yes, if Shuofang can be conquered, it is also the key to completely reversing this war, but I think everyone knows very well that the chances of winning this method are very small, and defeat is enough to kill General Liu Fa and more than 20,000 Western army sons under his command!

Now under the rule of Xihe Road, the Song army guards the border line military village, and General Liu's troops have no reinforcements to respond. Generals, we are united and working together all the way, and General Liu is a veteran general of the Western Army, and the people who go to danger with him are all our comrades-in-arms, do you really want to let them be in danger and sit idly by!? ”

Listening to Xiao Tang's loud shouts, many of the generals of the Western Army present all changed color, General Liu Fa only led 20,000 horses and horses to go deep into the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom at a risk, and it was very likely to fall into the encirclement network of the enemy, but now the soldiers and horses under the command of Xiao Jieshuai are only twenty or thirty thousand, and there is no army of the Cultivation Dao and Tong Guan to echo from afar.

After learning that Liu Fa was still coerced by Tong Guan to go to get Shuo Fang, Xiao Tang immediately thought that Xining Prefecture did not need to go for the time being, otherwise, according to Tong Guan's thoughts, would he be able to let Xiao Tang, a young boy in the court, interfere with his schemes?

What's more, Xiao Tang immediately decided to use military power to support Liu Fa, not only because of Liu Fa's personal prestige and influence, but also because Wu Song, who is now under Liu Fa's account, has a righteous friendship with him.

According to the trajectory of the official history, after Liu Fa was besieged and defeated and died, Cha Ge took advantage of the situation to lead the Xia army to launch a comprehensive counteroffensive against the Song army when Liu Fa's death caused turmoil in the hearts of the Song army. It was also the heaviest defeat of the Song Dynasty in the Song-Xia War, but Tong Guan, who was the initiator of this tragedy, pushed the crime of losing the army and losing his division to Liu Fa, who had already died heroically......

At this time, Liu Zhongwu and other generals could also hear the overtones in Xiao Tang's words: Xiao Jieshuai was very indignant about Tong Guan's order for Liu Fa to take the hinterland of Xia Kingdom.

As the elite army of the million-dollar forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, all the generals who served in the Western Army knew best about the differences of opinion between Tong Guan and the old Xianggong on many military decisions, and even the undercurrents within the Western Army because of each other's military power. Tong Guan planned to take advantage of the Western Expedition to the Xia Kingdom to design to get rid of Liu Fa, the strong reinforcement of the old Xianggong in the Western Army, but it was not impossible. Especially that Tong Guan is a battle-hardened figure, leading a small number of men and horses to rashly turn the course to attack the key military state of the Xia State, what are the chances of victory and the consequences that the army sent will face if it fails, Tong Guan can't have a number in his heart.

If Shuofang could really be easily captured, why didn't Tong Guan send his descendants in the Western Army or personally lead the army to attack? Why do you need to order Liu Fa, a natural god general whose prestige in the Western Army is better than that of the old and small races, and is even better, to go and steal his limelight and military exploits?

It seems that Liu Zhongwu, Yao Pingzhong and other generals in the Western Army are naturally inferior to those civil servants who are accustomed to fighting for power in the DPRK and China, but they are not reckless men who are ignorant of the world, and the stakes can understand why Tong Guan arranged it this way after only a little thought. In case of a successful surprise attack, Tong Guan, the commander of the Song Army on the Western Road, still has the merit of command and planning, and the failure of the plan to take Shuo Fang implicates more than 20,000 soldiers who died in battle, and Liu Fa, who has little hope of survival, even if he is lucky to save his life, the imperial court will also be held accountable for the defeat and demoted him or even deposed, Tong Guan can also use this to suppress the faction in the Western Army that supports the old race.......

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an old ghost and a child who coerces power and power, and this hand is really ruthless! Poisonous enough!

Among the generals of the Western Army, Liu Zhongwu had a close relationship with Gao Yu, whether it was the treacherous and unpredictable officialdom schemes, or the actions of those treacherous and traitorous people, he was roughly sure that Tong Guan was going to take this opportunity to put Liu Fa to death, but compared to the angry reactions of other officials, Liu Zhongwu just sighed that this kind of world, even if the military generals fought on the battlefield regardless of life and death, but in the end, the life of the family was still in the hands of the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and sometimes he could only be a man with his tail between his legs. Otherwise, like Liu Faxian, he was calculated by Tong Guan, Rao is that you can lead the army to fight, even if you are dedicated to serving the country, but what now? No matter how prestigious you are a veteran general in the army, in the final analysis, you still have to bow your head to the powerful ministers who hold the authority;

As for Yao Pingzhong, his face was very ugly at this time, although he admired Xiao Tang very much and was willing to fight side by side with him, Yao Pingzhong would not willingly follow Xiao Tang to die, but when Yao Pingzhong found out that Tong Guan intended to persecute Liu Fa by such a subordinate means, he was also scolded by a eunuch and a traitor in his heart. Now Yao Pingzhong is still a very high-spirited little lieutenant of the Western Army, and he doesn't believe in being subservient to his subordinates, so he can only let the power traitor pinch and rub the flattening, not to mention that he also thinks of Tong Guan's gelding dog, but he is also very jealous of me! Instead of going to Xining Prefecture to be controlled by Tong Guan, it is better to join forces with Liu Fa as soon as possible, and it may not be a dead end to kill with the Xia army. It was Xiao Tang's decision to change the route to support Liu Fa, Yao Pingzhong only thought about it for a while, and then decided to follow Xiao Tang to the end;

And such as Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Hua Rong, Wang Jin, Niu Gao, these henchmen and brothers don't have much, they are willing to live and die with Xiao Tang, Hugh said that he went to support the highly prestigious generals in the Western Army, that is, they would go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and they would not hesitate to follow their brothers; And Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Li Yongqi and other forbidden generals who were deeply favored by Xiao Tang, they were also righteous men in the army, and they only hesitated slightly, but they were also willing to go to the rescue with Xiao Tang.

It's just that no matter what kind of thoughts these forbidden army generals have, when they learn that Xiao Tang has made a categorical decision to support Liu Fa, they all know that he has no scruples about interfering with Tong Guan's deeds, and seeing that Xiao Tang, a rising star in the army, also dares to come and sing against him, how will that Tong Yuan feel?

Xiao Jieshuai, you have already aroused the jealousy of Gao Taiwei in Bianjing, Cai Xianggong's fifth son, Cai Ying, as the chief envoy and the supervising army, but also died, and Cai Xianggong took over the envoy and commanded all the way to the soldiers and horses, Cai Xianggong learned about this in Bianjing and didn't know how to find you...... Now you still have to offend Tong Xuanshuai, who is in charge of the military and political power?

There are also many generals who looked at Xiao Tang quietly, their expressions were very complicated, and some people secretly said in their hearts: Xiao Jieshuai, in the past, we risked our lives to fight the enemy, and we are all willing to fight with you, but even if you are bold and reckless, you really don't know that the knives and guns on the battlefield are easy to dodge, but the knives that kill people in the court without seeing blood are difficult to prevent?

Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Tang, but Xiao Tang smiled calmly and said, "I probably know what concerns you have, I am the one who makes this decision, and I am also responsible for the big things." Besides, my heart can be expressed every day. It is said that a manly man has something to do and must do, and I will dare to do what I should do! The generals are also more knowledgeable than me in terms of experience in the battlefield, but I Xiao Tang don't know anything else, but I also know that if you want to be a mighty and unyielding good soldier, you must first be a good man with iron bones and a strong back! ”

Xiao Tang said loudly, and after a moment of silence, among the many generals of the Western Army, Wu Jue, who had never spoken, suddenly laughed loudly, and then he said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, since you want to rescue Liu Xianggong, it is better to hurry than later." Stay nearby and collect some food and grass supplies for the road, and we must also lead our troops to set off immediately. ”
