Chapter 269: Transferring the Western Army

It turned out that in addition to the 800,000 forbidden troops stationed in the capital, there were two most elite men and horses in the imperial court, namely the 200,000 Western Army led by the Xiao Species Jing Xiang Gong, and the 300,000 Northern Army led by the Lao Jing Luo Xiang Gong.

They were stationed in the west and north respectively to guard against the two strong enemies of the Northern Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Northern Liao, and in the past few decades, the three kingdoms have fought and made peace, although there is no major conflict, but small frictions are continuous, so it must be strictly defended.

It's just that not long ago, the Western Xia and the Song Kingdom had just clashed, and then the Song Dynasty 'gave peace' at the cost of 500,000 taels of silver and a lot of materials, and the two sides re-signed the border treaty, so Gao Yu felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to use the sword of the Western Army to deal with the big trouble of Liangshan.

Huizong was overjoyed when he heard this, regardless of the opposition of Zong Ze and other old generals, he immediately ordered this matter to be handed over to the small seed master to act cheaply, and at the same time asked Gao Yu to bring some elite soldiers and generals to help him, and Gao Yu immediately thanked him and set off.

In the eyes of the guys who don't understand military affairs and like to give advice, now they really don't have any war in the Western Army, but as a front-line commander, he knows that he is not afraid of thieves and thieves, and his 200,000 Western troops are stationed on the border, and the Xixia Kingdom has many concerns, although from time to time they also send small forces from the cracks in the defense line to fight the autumn wind, but after all, the harm is limited.

But once the men and horses on their side are withdrawn, it will not be a small army of 1,800 to fight the autumn wind, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Western Xia lions, and once they break through the border defense line and drive straight into Yongzhou, it will be difficult to drive them away again.

So it seems that their army doesn't have a big battle to fight in peacetime, and it consumes a lot of money, food, and military expenses, but this is definitely necessary!

It's just that this truth is understood by Zong Ze and other high-level military officials, and it is too difficult to make Huizong, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others understand, especially the person who came to give the order this time is that Gao Yu, which makes the seed master not even in the mood to explain to him.

This is completely playing the piano to a cow, not to mention that it is still a cow with a holy decree and a fox and a fake tiger!

After all, the breeder can't resist the will and disrespect, and in the end he can only bargain with Gao Yu on the troops dispatched, at the beginning, Gao Yu directly opened his mouth to take away half of the - that is, 100,000 horses, which frightened the breeder, and hurriedly argued with reason, and finally spent a lot of effort, and had to promise Gao Yu many benefits against his will, which finally reduced the number to 50,000!

These 50,000 people are also equivalent to dripping blood from the head of the seed master center, these 200,000 people sound like a lot, but the western border is thousands of miles long, and there is a fortress every one or two thousand miles, and there are only one or two thousand people in each place, plus they also need to master mobile troops that are always strong enough, so the number is even less.

This Gao Yu took away 50,000 people at once, which means that at least one or twenty fortresses will be emptied, in other words, on the border between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty, it is likely that there will be a gap of one or two hundred miles, in case the Western Xia army takes the opportunity to sneak attack, the consequences are simply unimaginable...

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he could only try his best to coordinate so that each fortress would not be vacant, but it would be inevitable to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

More than ten days later, Gao Yu with 50,000 elite Western troops plus more than a dozen strong and good generals, plus the original 50,000 horses, 100,000 troops through Yongzhou, Yuzhou, towards the direction of Qingzhou Liangshan, along the way all kinds of local officials are all kinds of knotting hospitality, gifts and bribes, not to mention, Gao Yu is naturally not refused, the more the merrier, this has not yet arrived in Qingzhou, he brought more than a dozen cars are already full.

Coupled with the gift from the previous planter, Gao Yu had already taken as much as one million yuan of money and goods in less than a month, which made him feel that he had stayed in the capital for too long, and he should have come out to shop more, the silver outside here is really profitable.

It's just that the wool is out of the sheep, and the silver taels that the local officials paid to Gao Yu have not all fallen on the local people, and they have more than that, which makes the lives of the people who have gone all the way more difficult, many people are scolding the court and Gao Yu, and also cursing their crusade journey to failure, and finally those Liangshan heroes killed this damn Gao Yu, but they made Liangshan have a lot of supporters, and even followers.

But where does Gao Yu know this, even if he knows, he doesn't care, as long as he has the money, these people are doing his tall!

。。。

However, it was said that Gao Yu took away 50,000 Western troops, which immediately caused a lot of commotion on the side of Weizhou Mansion, and many middle and low-level officers were very dissatisfied. So it soon spread to the ears of the spies sent by the Western Xia Kingdom.

In fact, the Song Dynasty and the two surrounding powers, Xixia and Northern Liao, have been wars and peacemakers for nearly a hundred years, so it is too normal for each other to send some spies to each other's countries, the difference is only the number and status, the Western Xia is here in the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is also on the Western Xia side.

The spies on the Western Xia side were overjoyed when they learned that a quarter of the Western Army had been transferred away, and that they were still in the chaos of various replenishment and redeployment, and immediately transmitted the news back to Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia.

Here we need to briefly introduce this Li Qianshun, he was only three years old when he ascended the throne - he couldn't even climb the dragon chair himself, so he had to rely on a few regent ministers to manage the government on his behalf, and then these people were busy fighting for power, forming parties for personal gain, and increasing their own right to speak, so they couldn't care about competing for hegemony with the Northern Song Dynasty and Liao over the years, which created the illusion of 'well-behaved and soft'.

But the party has always been a fierce people, otherwise it would not be a three-legged place with a corner of the 'Hetao' and the Liao and Song kingdoms, so it doesn't mean that it is a HelloKitty, it's just asleep.

When Li Qianshun was twenty years old, the male lion finally woke up, and over the years, he has pretended to be very obedient on the surface, just like a perfect puppet, no matter how domineering and tossing the regents are, they turn a blind eye and do not listen, and they just indulge in the sound of dogs and horses every day, so others don't take him seriously, and they all want to defeat the opponent first and unify the dynasty before it is too late to clean him up.
