The imperial court has already fried the pot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the Western Xia Iron Cavalry broke through the Eastern Great Wall, these news also spread inland, and it was rumored that Gao Fangping ordered him to abandon the Great Wall, so not only Bianjing, but the angry youth groups across the country, as well as the talented people, began to worry and began to curse.

Wild beasts bite because they don't understand, and they are afraid of humans. So yes, the current scolding of Gao Fangping is also like this.

There are all kinds of terrifying remarks above the court, saying that Gao Fangping lost power and humiliated the country, and as a northern marshal ordered by His Majesty, he actually took the initiative to order the Yongxing military system to abandon the Eastern Great Wall, leaving the people of Hanwa in dire straits.

For a while, they were emotional, hoarsely demanding a change of coach.

In the past, they poured high Fangping because of the big element of show, and the big component of following the trend to reap the benefits. But this time it was different, they were really scared.

Zhao Ji and Gao Yu both began to question that they really had plans to withdraw Gao Fangping's appointment.

From Zhao Ji's point of view, he is afraid of losing the reputation of the country, even if he can't beat Western Xia in the end, this mistake can't be borne by Gao Fangping, because Gao Fangping is the mascot hand-picked by Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji is the person who is strongly enabled, and Gao Fangping's accident means that Zhao Ji used the wrong person, causing major negligence.

As for Gao Yu's old man, he is not afraid of anything, in short, even if he is wrong, Gao Fangping will not die if he withdraws back. But if he doesn't come back, he has a hole in his brain, then he will really die on the battlefield, and the Gao family will be the last, and he will be a bastard. Gao Yu has this mentality and this virtue, so Lao Gao is also advocating a change of coach.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang swore to defend himself at night, saying that no matter what, although the Northwest Front Army was defeated, it did not really hurt its muscles and bones, and Gao Fangping must have a follow-up move. And Lao Zhang emphasized: Since ancient times, it has been an absolute taboo to change generals in battle.

Cai Jing supports Zhang Shuye.

From Lao Cai's point of view, he knows too well how many grandsons the rest of the soldiers have, Gao Fangping's deployment may not be right, Lao Cai doesn't understand military affairs, but he knows that kid is really the most capable shark in Wenchen. If there is still someone who can resist Western Xia, the biggest possibility at the moment is Gao Fangping. At the same time, if he is disobedient, if something goes wrong, it will cripple his political status in one fell swoop.

So Cai Jing supported Uncle Zhang as much as possible.

Tao Jiefu hated Gao Fangping's plan to abandon the Great Wall very much, and had cursed for two days, saying that "if you kid don't dare to fight, get back to the old man, my old man will put on armor again, and it doesn't mean that I have to rely on you young people."

However, that was just angry talk, of course Lao Tao knew how stupid it was to change generals in the battle, and now that he had lost the Great Wall, it was useless to kill Gao Fangping. What's more, it seems that although he Xiaogao is cowardly, but the two main battle military departments in the northwest have not really broken their muscles and bones, what Zhang Shuye said makes sense, according to his boy's previous style, there should be a lot of maneuvering in the future.

So, Tao Jiefu reluctantly agreed to keep Gao Fangping for the time being.

Under such circumstances, the first wave of voices to remove Gao Fangping was suppressed by several Xiangye joining forces.

Immediately after, even now, when the dark clouds are covered, a ray of sunshine is revealed.

Gao Fangping defeated 11,000 ruthless people in Shuibo, beheaded 5,000 enemies, and captured nearly 3,000 people at Maling Road Crossing with almost zero battle losses.

Zhao Ji was as happy as a child, and he didn't want to change generals anymore. He didn't know what Shui Bo had to do with Western Xia, but it was always a big win no matter what. Anyway, whether it is Shuibo or Western Xia, they are the enemies of the court and the emperor. It doesn't matter who he fights, in short, defeating the enemy is good news.

Zhang Shuye and Cai Jing, who supported Gao Fangping before, can be regarded as relieved. Although this great victory was not for the Western Xia, it was also a good news to stabilize the rear, and it was good news to encourage the dynasty at the top of the dark clouds.

Tao Jiefu was completely stunned, and then ecstatic. The reason why the northwest was already in an emergency earlier, but Lao Tao did not dispatch Gao Fangping to the west for deployment, because there was a problem in the future, Lao Tao counted on him Xiao Gao to stabilize the backyard as soon as possible, and then go to the outside world.

But the matter of fighting has never been urged, and the northwest can't stand it, so Tao Jiefu hurriedly ordered Xiao Gao to send troops to the northwest, and no longer care about the water, although they are not a problem compared to the Western Xia Iron Cavalry.

Unexpectedly, he Gao Fangping really had a follow-up move, and he didn't start troops according to the arrangement of the Privy Council as scheduled, it turned out that he really made a big move, and he had to fight the water once before he could rest assured that he would go west.

"Newspaper—"

Just this time, the military report belonging to the Privy Council was sent directly, and it was read in public: "The Shuai Northern Military Department led by Gao Fangping has passed the Huguan Pass by the date of the report, and continues to march rapidly in the direction of Hangu Pass. ”

"What! After so many days of the Privy Council's order to send troops, he still hasn't been put into the battlefield, and now he has only arrived at Huguan? The bigwigs in the court who didn't understand military affairs suddenly exploded, and a group of adults scolded excitedly.

Zhao Ji didn't understand, and he was scared by them, because Zhao Ji didn't have a concept, where should Gao Fangping be at this time?

Cai Jing didn't understand where Gao Fangping should be, so he looked at Kaifeng Mansion worriedly and said, "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”

On how to make money, Lao Teng did have experience, but Teng Yuanfang had no opinion on this, and hurriedly threw the pot to Tao Jiefu.

Tao Jiefu was overjoyed, and said with his beard in his beard: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Earlier, the old minister also made mistakes, always thinking that Gao Fangping was too young and did not understand military affairs. But now it seems that everything is something we have thought about too much, not to mention the shocking battle loss ratio of the battle of Maling Daokou. ”

After a pause, Tao Jiefu turned around and pointed to the military area and said: "What shocked the old man the most was that the heavy rain was continuous!" Don't be foolish to all of you present, no one knows better than the old man what a march is. According to the time and route, after the victory of Maling Pass, in such a difficult heavy rain situation, Gao Fangping passed through Feixiang, Cizhou, Jingshi 1 County, Licheng, and reached Huguan in a short period of time...... The old man said responsibly, this is an absolute miracle in the history of my Great Song Dynasty march, such a season and environment, the old man said frankly with a person who led troops to fight for tens of thousands of miles, even if it is a light cavalry, I can't do it! But Gao Fangping did it with a mixed infantry army! ”

After a pause, Tao Jiefu said again: "Although it has not yet been fully proven that his 'brave and good fighting theory', but just in terms of marching, it is enough to show his ability to control the army, so the old man suggested that he Gao Fangping be cautious for the time being, and expect him to enter the battle line as soon as possible. ”

No one understands this, since Tao Jiefu said so, everyone can only listen to this.

Zhao Ji wiped away the cold sweat and said with a sigh of relief: "Since Tao Qing is so sure, I am also relieved, I hope that Xiao Gaoji will be able to withstand the situation for the time being." I also know that the Tangut people have always been fierce and difficult to mess with, and I hope that they will not lose their land. This time, we can only win with less losses. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, the emperor actually said that less loss should be won, damn this is not the rules on the mahjong table of Lao Tzu, how can it be applied to the military battlefield?

As a result, the first wartime court meeting basically set the tone. Although they did not understand Gao Fangping's strategy of abandoning the Great Wall, they were helpless, and after Gao Fangping handed over the answer sheet of the Shenxing Army and the victory of the Maling Pass, they could only "wait and see" with him for the time being.

Yes, Tao Jiefu's words are more appropriate, and he can only wait and see cautiously, and he can't be optimistic for the time being. After all, the little shark was politically incorrect in this national war, and he had already let the Tanguts enter the country.

The entire Great Song Dynasty was a person who was scared of the barbarians, so Gao Fangping's tactic of giving up the Great Wall seemed to all of them to be a loss of the country, and they really didn't expect to take it back. Under the suppression of several ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people, for the time being, everyone's requirements for Gao Fangping are not very high, as long as he can not continue to lose the country, it will be considered a victory. That is what the emperor said about winning if you lose less......

Gao Fangping is not easy on the side. The hardest thing is not the march, not the final defeat of Chago. It's political pressure from the first three rows.

Yes, Gao Fangping's strategy of giving up the Great Wall is too deviant, for the time being, it is almost an unforgivable mistake, Zhao Ji is pampering me Xiao Gao, Tao Jiefu understands military affairs, but they are not on the ground, this strategy of relying on face brushing cannot be used all the time, because there will always be a day when character is lost.

Whatever you say is true, the so-called success or defeat, if you win this battle of Song and Xia in the end, no matter what mistakes Gao Fangping has, she will eventually be forgotten by everyone. If you lose in the end, you will really have to take the blame, and the reputation of giving up the Great Wall and losing power and humiliating the country's reputation will really come. Falling out of favor is real.

Therefore, it is imperative not to consider the overall plan of the Song-Xia battle. There was an urgent need for a partial victory over the Tanguts as a "pill".

The pill is not to stabilize the morale of the military, but to stabilize the political morale of the first three rows. At this time, the political heart is much more important than the military heart, to put it bluntly, Gao Fangping is really not afraid of Brother Cha, but he is really afraid that the court will suddenly come out with some moths, and come to a few holy decrees to summon Lao Tzu back to Beijing or something, although he will not be killed by them like Grandpa Yue after going back, but then he will really cry blind, and the Xixia people will smile crookedly......

It all relies on various mechanisms to escort, plus the support of will and morale. At the speed of the divine march that made everyone look sideways, at the end of May, Gao Fangpingbu officially rested in Hezhong Province, and from here, it was the official road of conquest.

Seeing the erection of the banner of "The Northern Capital Transit Envoy Gao", as well as the continuous military formation of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, Zhang Weiyi, the prefect of Hezhong, who was observing worriedly at the head of the city, patted his thigh and said: "Finally here, hurry up with the mansion out of the city to greet that child." ”

This old guy is a relative of Zhang Kangguo, so the old guy usually hates Gao Fangping to the bone, but this time the situation is critical, it is rumored that the Eastern Great Wall has been completely lost, and the 400,000 troops of Western Xia have driven straight in, and the current war has almost burned to Yan'an Mansion for a generation, for the cavalry cluster, Yan'an Mansion to Hezhong Mansion is less than ten days' journey, once Hezhong Mansion falls, Zhang Weiyi really doesn't know how to deal with himself? Is it to keep or to run? If you keep it, you will be a dead end, and if you run, you will not be able to raise your head for eternity, and the official road will come to an end.

So of course, Zhang Weiyi urgently needed to see Gao Fangping enter Hezhong Mansion.
