"Newspaper—"

It was a mess, and the inner city of Yan'an Mansion, which had long been in danger, was just when Liu Yanqing and the prefect were worried about what kind of impact Gao Fangping would have on the situation in the northwest war, and the herald arrived at the office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hurry up." General Liu turned around and sat and waited.

"Report Liu Shuai...... The small Gao Xianggong won a great victory in Wenling Gorge, and completely annihilated the first elite cavalry wing of the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro in Shilong Pass! ”

"What!"

The prefect squirted out a sip of tea, and as soon as his head was tilted, he fell to the ground and began to convulse, he was so happy that he had a seizure, and he didn't know if he would hang up.

Liu Yanqing looked like his two eyeballs were bulging and wanted to fall out.

Although he is a battle-hardened general and has seen all kinds of scenes, he has never heard such a fantasy thing in the northwest after fighting with the Tangut people for so many years.

What kind of magical power does he Gao Fangping have, in the area most conducive to cavalry combat, in a hard-line field combat method, with 22,000 mixed infantry troops, to completely annihilate the Western Xia ace cavalry wing?

"This ......"

Liu Yanqing thought about it for a long time and still couldn't say anything, this was really impossible, but it was stunned and sent it as an official military report.

Nearly one-to-one troops, in a hard-line field way against the Western Xia cavalry, as long as the defeat is not too miserable, it is already a miracle in the history of the Hanwa War, but the Great Demon King actually handed in the answer sheet of total annihilation.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yanqing smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say, but no matter what, this was also the best sign since the start of the Fifth Song and Xia War, so he got up and said: "Inform the Daoist Department, and pass on the generals of the commander, take back the independent combat rights of each army, and officially assemble, the horn of the counterattack has been sounded." A full-scale counterattack will start soon, Xiao Gaoxiang is really a god, and the sacrifice he made for the Great Song Dynasty is to boost our morale and create an opportunity to fight, and now he is unable to participate in the serious battle damage, and he will hold on to Hezhong Mansion to drag the main force of Western Xia. Create a good opportunity for us to regain lost territory and counter the siege of the Western Xia army......"

Liu Yanqing said this with a tragic mood, and the herald said embarrassedly: "Liu Shuai...... The battle losses of Xiao Gao Xianggong's department were not large, and he would still wait for his work, and feigned a weak situation in Hezhong Mansion, attracting the main force of the Cha Ge Department to gnaw at Hezhong Mansion, so his new combat order was: a comprehensive counterattack to recover the lost territory. Cooperate with the Ministry of Seed Division, as soon as possible in Yan'an Province, Jinju, Gyeongju generation to form a 'line of defense', make pockets to close the door and fight dogs, and finally, Xiao Gao Xianggong hopes to encircle and annihilate the main force of Chage in the hinterland before the winter comes. ”

"What's not serious about his battle damage!" Liu Yanqing opened his mouth wide and asked stupidly, "How many people did he die?" ”

"More than four hundred." The herald said embarrassedly.

Liu Yanqing's head tilted and he also fell to the ground......

In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Fangping led the army under pressure to the middle of the river.

It's just a frying pot, the situation of thousands of empty alleys, countless grizzled women and children, up to 100,000 people are waiting outside the city gate to welcome Gao Fangping's return.

Wang Yuan, the governor of Hezhong Mansion, a fledgling little general, looked at the return of Xiao Gao Xianggong with great admiration, and he was taking a deep breath, but he still couldn't calm down, he always liked military affairs, liked to study various battle formation methods, and earlier got Gao Fangping's department to shake the Western Xia vanguard cavalry in Shilong Pass, and he also tragically deduced countless tragedies.

But the best result in the history of Hu Han's war came in yesterday's Shilong Pass.

"Everyone follows the mansion to welcome the return of the marshal."

This situation was obviously made by the prefect Zhang Weiyi, so he took the lead in coming out and applauding.

When the people, mainly children and women, were about to follow the shout, Gao Fangping, who was riding on the horse, raised his hand slightly and stopped everyone from talking.

Today, Gao Fangping's majesty is at its peak, and this raise of his hand, the scene is so quiet that it can be heard.

But there was still a relatively small Lori, with very yellow hair and a malnourished appearance, ran out and stood in front of Gao Fangping's horse, raised his head and asked: "Xiangye will eventually kill those robbers and avenge my father and grandfather, right?" ”

The people in the rear also clenched their fists one after another, with a look of anticipation.

In fact, these people were the first people to evacuate according to Gao Fangping's strategy.

After the deviant strategic order was issued, in view of Gao Fangping's ruthlessness in the past, Liu Yanqing did not dare to disobey, so he quickly evacuated the people from the rear as much as possible in the war zone to avoid them from suffering the ravages of the war.

However, a command is just a command. It was impossible to evacuate perfectly, Liu Yanqing was not able to stay on the top of the Great Wall for too long at that time, and the strategic retreat order had little effect after it was issued.

In fact, those who are willing to flee will evacuate to the rear as early as the beginning of the war. But most of the people in the northwest are very poor, there is nothing, the only thing they have is the grain in the field, and the small amount of furniture in the broken house, in short, there are all kinds of situations, but most of them are used to seeing the war, although there are precedents for the Tangut people to massacre the border people, but it is not much.

So in that case, many people were reluctant to leave what had been passed down from their ancestors, so the main body of evacuation became young women and children.

These two groups are Liu Yanqing's iron order and must be evacuated, and the parents and officials in the war zone also support this decision. Because these two groups are the ones who suffer the most from the war, there will definitely be losses. Labor in the prime of life was not a big problem, and the general policy of the Tangut people was to use them as men to help deliver grain or build offensives.

The elderly are not a big problem, and generally those who are not a threat are left alone. But in the occupied zone, the scourge of young women by the less aggressive enemy army is almost certain, and it will also be rampant in the civilized armies of later generations.

As for children, they are the most favorite things to rob in the Tanguts, they need slaves, they need the population, and they can really sell them for money if they are snatched back from the Tanguts.

Most of the parents and officials of the civilian group of people certainly support Gao Fangping's evacuation order, because once the women and children are evacuated, the parents and officials can follow the evacuation, which is not considered a flight, but a participation in leading the evacuees.

However, the old stubbornness who refused to evacuate like Yue Wen was not large in the Great Song Dynasty, but it was real, and Shi Wentao was like that back then. Once those guys don't evacuate, he can also order the people to prohibit them from leaving, and Gao Fangping can't control them, because Gao Fangping only has military and financial power in the northwest, and civil power and judicial power are still in the hands of parents and officials in various places. As long as they are not happy, they can not be bird-high.

So the first tragic example of the war in the northwest appeared, Master Yue Wen rejected Liu Yanqing's evacuation proposal, what if there was no army, he led the messengers and the people and the family to garrison the city, and the mantis arm was used as a car, and when the city was finally broken, the old guy killed the decisive, first killed his own family, did not let them be abused by the barbarians, and then committed suicide and martyrdom.

Until now, Gao Fangping has been headache with Yue Wen's problem, he is not only a loyal countryman, but also a stubborn super idiot, and he has taken pity on many people under his rule.

Thinking of this, Gao Fangping turned over and dismounted and squatted down, reaching out to wipe away tears and snot from the girl with yellow hair.

The little girl was unconvinced and asked again: "Xiangye didn't answer the little girl, you will kill those robbers and avenge my father and grandfather, right?" ”

"I will. Also, don't be pessimistic, your dad and they may not die. Before the winter came, the government tried its best to wipe out all the Western Xia bandits in the territory, and then led everyone to find a way to survive the winter and find a way to rebuild their homes. Gao Fangping said: "But if there is no accident, Hezhong Mansion will soon face a big war, and you need everyone's cooperation and help, will you do your best?" ”

"I'll fight." The little girl clenched her fists and said.

"I don't want you to fight, I need you to listen to orders, help the government stabilize the people's hearts, and participate in the transportation of supplies." Gao Fangping slapped her little ass and let her go.

Hearing that the war would soon burn to Hezhong Mansion, Zhang Weiyi didn't dare to pretend to be forced, and began to disperse the people and let them go back to the city to prepare, and the prefect also followed to make arrangements.

The main force of the Chage Department is still more than 300,000, and of course Governor Zhang is afraid, so of course he is now highly efficient......

The main city of Hezhong Province has officially entered a state of war, and all food and supplies have been confiscated, no matter who he is. Except for the money and property, all that could be eaten was used as strategic materials, and the wartime ration system was strictly enforced.

All the women and children who can move follow the field medical team to learn medical assistance measures in time. All those over the age of fourteen and under the age of fifty were temporarily assigned to the army as auxiliaries, and their training consisted of a formation so that they could obey orders.

Don't let them fight, but listen to orders, keep order in the city, and help those who can help them.

As a "jiedu-level" big city on the Yongxing Military Road, the defense of Hezhong Mansion is worse than that of Jingzhao Mansion, but it is already a very good existence.

Since the beginning of the war, relying on river transportation, there has always been a steady stream of materials transported from Jiangzhou Bianjing to here, so Gao Fangping's idea is that relying on the current 20,000 troops, it is not a big problem to defend Hezhong Mansion until winter.

After the order was issued, under the rule of Hezhong Prefecture, the people of seven counties, including Lin 1 Near County, Yi 1 County, Yu 1 Township County, Wan 1 Quan County, Long 1 Men County, Rong 1 He County, and He1 Xi County, as well as all the materials that could be taken away, were forced to work by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in a short period of time, and were evacuated to the main city of Hezhong Province.

That is to say, the seven counties are not wanted for the time being, they have become empty cities, and the things that cannot be taken away for the time being and are easy to be used by the Tangut people will be burned as much as possible.

However, only the "Yongyi Le County", which was nearly 100 miles away from Hezhong Prefecture, was not evacuated, but on the contrary, a certain amount of materials were sent to them, and a part of the civilian force and medical team were also sent to Yong 1 Le County.

At the same time, the heavy cavalry of the Yongle Military Department was officially stationed in Yongle County. It became a "satellite fortress" of the defense circle of Ha Chung Province, forming an interdependent relationship.

The cavalry of the Yongle Army was of little use in the battle to defend the city, and the main city of Hezhong Mansion would be the main battle area at that time, and Shi Wengong could rely on the super-mobile advantage of the cavalry to cooperate with the harassment and reduce the offensive pressure of Hezhong Mansion.

At any time, one leg, or a lonely city, cannot be defended, and that tactic is too passive.

Yongyi Le County is the largest and strongest county among the eight counties under the rule of Hezhong Prefecture, so they must shoulder the heavy responsibility of a satellite fortress.
