Li Qianshun hurriedly turned around, and suddenly stopped and said: "What about the partridge horse thieves, although they are fierce, how dare they invade our Gansu military department on a large scale?" ”

Cha Ge said: "This is called the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, if in normal times, of course they don't dare." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the intention of I don't recommend dispatching the White Horse Military Division and the Right Wing Military Division, when these two mobile military divisions are not in use, they are winding crossbows with divine arms, which have deterrence. However, once it is used and does not work, it shows that we have no confidence. In this case, as long as the seed master Dao sent troops from Lanzhou to attack the Zhuoluo Military Division, Tubo would definitely dare to attack Renduo Fortress, and Tubo would attack Renduo Fortress, and the Hui partridge horse thieves would definitely dare to send troops to Xuanhua Mansion or Guazhou. This is like at that time, when the Song army was unable to communicate with each other, they restrained each other and finally passively launched the Battle of Hezhongfu. ”

Li Qianshun thought for a while and said unconvinced: "Your idea is based on Gao Fangping daring to send troops to the northeast to maneuver and block the White Horse Military Division. However, if his main force attacks, then how can his occupied areas Weizhou, Mengjing, Pule City, and Yaode City be defended, don't you want it? I only let Xiao Heda take the White Horse Military Division out of the battle, and I still have the Right Wing Military Division in my hand, in order to prevent civil unrest in Xingqing Mansion, or the driver to recapture the occupied area. ”

Brother Cha smiled bitterly: "Why does Your Majesty think that he needs to defend these places? In the battle of Song and Xia, he could still give up his own land in the Song Kingdom, which was the Gao Clan's tactics. He has never been imprisoned by these illusory things, and the strategic materials such as horses, cattle and sheep in the occupied areas have all been taken away by him, leaving some ordinary people who have no food, Your Majesty, do you really dare to take the occupied areas back at this time? After taking it back, will it spend food to appease the people, or will it further rob the people? Even if we don't consider the factors of the people, if our already weak defense line is extended to Yaode City, Pule City, or even Weizhou, it will be even more dispersed, and we can divide and break the main battle forces of our various defense areas without him Gao Fangping to bite Xiping Mansion. ”

Li Qianshun finally sat down like a deflated ball, and his breathing was unusually heavy.

Immediately, Li Qianshun asked unwillingly: "If he gives up the front-line mobility in Weizhou, how will his war logistics supply come?" ”

Brother Cha was speechless, Li Qianshun is not a faint gentleman, but he is really a military novice. Brother Cha got up and pointed to the area map and said: "To the east of Pule City, in the west of Yanzhou, there is a large area of uninhabited grassland, which can not only be used for him to do cavalry tactical depth, but also has a small amount of forage on the ground to supply his war horses, and this area, near the Yongxing Military Road of the Song Kingdom, is close to the security army and the border military defense area, we are powerless to defend at all, and there are places where we can supply and maneuver." ”

Li Qianshun said with a dead face: "What is the conclusion? ”

Brother Cha said: "Your Majesty listens to the truth? ”

"Let's talk about it." Li Qianshun said word by word.

The conclusion is that Gao Fangping subverted the rules of war, and under such new rules, the war is not fought by bravery and bloodthirsty, but by logistics and national strength. No one on such a battlefield could withstand the chariot of the Song Kingdom, at least in Gao Fangping's era. Brother Cha knelt down with tears in his eyes and admonished: "Your Majesty, don't be stubborn, we can't beat Gao Fangping, even if we don't make a famine, we have basically exhausted the last trace of national strength." Don't make fearless sacrifices, save some last blood and bones, negotiate with Gao Fangping, the minister is sure, what Gao Fangping really wants is Xiazhou, Longzhou and Hongzhou, ceding these places, we can also work hard to make a comeback. ”

"Never agree, Longzhou and Hongzhou can be considered, but Xiazhou is the birthplace of my Western Xia and cannot be lost." Li Qianshun said with red eyes, "That would be equivalent to losing a lot of Hetao areas, what else would I have in Western Xia if I lost these?" ”

Brother Cha said: "It's just a part of the area, it's better than losing the entire Hexi Corridor, then I really only have the Gobi and sand in Western Xia." ”

"Shut up! If it weren't for the fact that you were my brother, I would have killed you for shaking the morale of the army. ”

Li Qianshun has already made a decision, just like the generals under Brother Cha at that time, and just like those gamblers who are waiting for the gambling table to turn over their hands, in short, they will not be willing to lose the last handful.

Li Qianshun left, and Brother Cha could only wait here for Xiao Heda's final blow.

During the period of house arrest, Brother Cha has thought about countless strategic deductions against Gao Fangping, but there are no exceptions, in the end, they are all dead ends, and they have no food and national strength in Western Xia, while Gao Fangping's hands have enough comprehensive national strength to support. And with his current status and prestige, coupled with the way of providing profits for the Song court by fighting war, so in Brother Cha's view, Gao Fangping can easily continue this war for several years without too much political pressure.

Now the Liao Kingdom has turned back and has been leveled by Gao Fangping. Then Xixia is destined to be a tofu blocker.

Cha Ge also tried to think about learning Gao Fangping's method of abandoning some areas and launching a protracted guerrilla war after his comeback. It can be said that playing this set, nomadism is more suitable than the Han family. But what is fatal is that Gao Fangping has been drawing money from the bottom of the pot since he entered the Western Xia, and he is ten times better than the Western Xia government to the common people of the Western Xia, and has gained a large amount of public opinion and has a mass base.

On the contrary, because of the pressure of the Song army in the city, the hatred of all the Western Xia civilians was pulled out by the Western Xia court. At a time when there is no mass foundation and no popular support, it is impossible to replicate Gao Fangping's protracted war.

Yes, because Gao Fangping pressed the border and the food was in a hurry, Xiao Heda pulled too much hatred for the civilians of Western Xia in order to ensure military resources, these are all blood and tears. It is because of these that Li Qianshun passively wants to leave the right wing military division in his hands to guard against civil strife or local changes in Xingqing Mansion.

But Brother Cha also knew that Xiao Heda couldn't be blamed for this, he was ordered to be in danger, and the national policy was to fight against the Song army, so there must be military rations. So Xiao Heda couldn't bite the powerful, so he had to do it to the people. Don't say that he Xiao Heda is an outsider who can't bite it, ask yourself, if you change Brother Cha, the orthodox prince of Western Xia, and go up, he may not be able to bite those powerful people, and he will directly have to fight a few civil wars first.

Brother Cha can be regarded as understanding at this point, and the biggest problem is that the rights of my Brother Cha and Li Qianshun are obtained by winning over those powerful people. However, Gao Fangping is not, the power of the little demon king happens to be obtained by fighting to clean up those guys......

"Newspaper—"

For the first time, the peace and tranquility of the area occupied by the Song army was broken.

Wave after wave of spies reported that the Western Xia court had decided on a decisive battle, and the White Horse Qiangzhen Military Division and the Right Wing Military Division, the two last mobile aces of Western Xia, had already raised troops. The closer Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division has already entered King Qin, Xingqing Mansion, and should be divided into Xiping Mansion.

Later, another spy came to report: "Xiangye, Xiao Heda led the main force of the military division of Baimaqiang Town, which has left Dingzhou and will arrive in Huaizhou soon." ”

"Raise the account!" Gao Fangping turned around and sat down.

After the thunder of the big drum, soon the generals were lined up in the tent and waited.

Gao Fangping opened his voice and said: "It is slightly different from what I expected, I originally thought that it would be a slightly weaker and closest right wing Chaoshun Army Division from Huaizhou, and they would march according to the line of Baichi City and Tiemen Pass to lift the siege of Xiazhou." And for the sake of safety, it will be the strongest Baima Qiang Town Military Division to defend Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion, which are important towns in Western Xia. ”

After a pause, Gao Fangping said: "What does this mean?" ”

The generals looked at each other and pondered, explaining that what is the responsibility of your great demon king, and Lao Tzu is only responsible for cutting people according to orders.

Gao Fangping said: "It shows that the court of Western Xia is not as mediocre as I thought." In addition, Xiao Heda should not be underestimated, he is a general. He just couldn't resist the national policy of Western Xia, but he knew that we would inevitably move to the northeast and cut off his support for the grain-producing areas of Xia Prefecture in a field way. ”

Shi Wengong came out and said: "Don't look up to others. It doesn't matter who he is, no matter whether he is fighting Baichi Grassland or Xiping Mansion, he just waits for an order to attack, this has been in the army for so long, and there has not been a decent battle, and this is almost out of the birds. ”

"Don't be underestimated." Gao Fangping said: "Pass on the order, all the staff prepare as soon as possible, give up logistics and unnecessary baggage, give up Yaode City and Pule City, and all the combat staff of our department will move quickly to the northeast, preparing to intercept the military division of Baima Qiangzhen, which is known as invincible in the world." ”

Bi Shijing thought for a while and said, "Will Xiangye's move be too hasty." Although there is no price for us to take Yaode City and Pule City, it is a pity to give up directly, we will leave, at that time, Western Xia will send a small number of troops from Xiping Mansion, and these two fortresses can be recovered without waste. ”

Gao Fangping smiled and said: "Don't be imprisoned in your thoughts, you have to ask Yaodecheng and Pule City what are them?" Is it worth our division of troops? If he wants to give it to them, we have been repaired here, and a large number of strategic materials have been harvested from the hearts of the people and the surrounding areas, in fact, I don't want to give up the civilians of Western Xia, but I have no choice but to do this for the time being, after all, we are from the Song Kingdom, not their parents. As long as the army is in hand, these areas will be ours sooner or later, and it is better for them to occupy them, which will not only lengthen the battle line, but also further provoke contradictions with the civilians of Western Xia. We'll have to wait and see. ”

Luda is no longer a prisoner of labor reform, but a real general, so he spoke loudly, touched his bald head and said: "Don't blame me, old Lu people, I don't understand why Xixia didn't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, or directly enter Yaode City to fight with us?" And Xiangye, you are sure that the White Horse Military Division is going to enter Xiazhou? ”

Gao Fangping said: "First of all, even if Xiao Heda is as stupid as you and brings a million troops to Yaode City to play, there must be a premise that I am as stupid as you." There are a lot of them, of course they will run away if they can't beat them, he is a cavalry in Western Xia, aren't we? He is demoralized and has no food, and he dares to march with us? ”

Only then did everyone think that the big demon king was obscene, damn it, he seemed to be arrogant and looked at Xiping Mansion from afar, but he was ready to play peek-a-boo and run away as soon as the army came? Also, this is not the land of Lao Tzu, so we have no obligation to defend.
