Chapter 758

The spare armor in the land of Sanzhou, pinched together, is less than a thousand, and Youzhou City, when the time comes, there are 25,000 van troops, only a total of no more than 2,000 leather armor, and the thin military uniforms, in front of those sharp weapons and swords and arrows, have no defensive ability at all.

The reason why Wang Yang sent the Xiang army to Youzhou was to allow Youzhou to have more vital forces and keep Youzhou as the fulcrum for the Great Song Dynasty to take root in these three states, rather than to make a special trip for the Xiang army to come here and line up for their lives.

However, the difficulty of making this thing is much more difficult than that of a sword, and even if Wang Yang goes to find Su Dongpo, or even today, it is impossible for these two to meet Wang Yang's requirements in a short period of time.

Unless it is said that the army of the Liao State has already arrived in front of these three states, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty will reinforce these three states with unprecedented speed and strength.

But is it just to watch the 25,000 van army suffer heavy losses? At least Wang Yang's conscience can't get over. However, he also knew very well that it was impossible for him to transfer the border troops from other state cities to Youzhou.

Although Youzhou is the first place to bear the brunt, the entire three states will inevitably fall into the quagmire of war after the arrival of the Liao army, and no one will be spared, and he cannot just ignore the life and death of other places for the sake of the gains and losses of one city.

What's more, not only Youzhou, but also the other two states have a total of 70,000 troops without armor to defend. What should I do?

#####

The first thing Wang Yang could think of was Su Dongpo, the pacification envoy of Shaanxi Road, who sent a letter to Su University that night, and then continued to inspect the main walled forts in Youzhou, such as Sanchakou.

Fortunately, the Xiang army has just migrated, so the Xiang army and its dependents are concentrated in the three states of Yan, You, and Hong, and have not yet been stationed in the surrounding small villages and towns.

However, Wang Yang still put forward his own suggestion to the seed master, it is best not to stick to the walled forts with weak defenses in the land of Youzhou, as long as once the enemy is found to attack, it is best to evacuate the walled forts as soon as possible and shrink to a major stronghold like Youzhou for defense, so as to reduce casualties.

Originally, those who were driven out of Youzhou, as well as those who rushed from Hongzhou, the total number has now dropped to less than 50,000.

Naturally, this was not because the Great Song Dynasty was abusing or harshly reprimanding them, but that these party members ignored them after seeing that the Great Song Dynasty seemed to have thrown them outside Youzhou City, and quietly left the camp at first and headed in the direction of Xiazhou.

After seeing that the Great Song Dynasty didn't seem to care about their whereabouts at all, they began to drag their families to the left, and although it was less than ten days so far, there were less than 50,000 left.

And every day, people continue to leave in the direction of Xiazhou. After all, Xiazhou is the closest to Youzhou, and if you go west, you need to pass through at least the two passes of Tiemen Pass and Baishi City, which are hundreds of miles more, so Xiazhou is naturally more suitable as a destination.

Wang Yang and the officials of Ganyou Prefecture were very happy to see it, and it was better for them to leave on their own than to let them continue to stay in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty and waste money and food.

Anyway, Xixia wants to exchange prisoners or something, sorry, the time limit has passed, who has so much spare time to talk to you, besides, when everyone has already felt that the clouds of war are about to loom, naturally they don't want to leave these time bombs.

As soon as the matter of Youzhou was over, Wang Yang and Zhi Keshi continued to go west, passed the Iron Gate Pass, and rushed to Baishi City, and then they would return to Xinyanzhou.

“…… Five days ago, it had already passed through Zhongjing, and it would take nearly half a month to be able to meet in Xijing, and the 50,000 loads of grain and 10,000 sheep that I had provided to Daliao in Daxia had already boarded the ship in the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and it was expected that after five days, it would arrive in Dongshengzhou, Xijing Road, Liao. ”

"As for the second batch of supplies, they will be shipped from the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division after the army of Da Liao has entered Dongshengzhou......"

In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun was listening to the report of the Liao army of Wei Ming Awu, although the elite of the Western Xia lost more than half, but with the reply of the Liao envoys, the Liao decided to send 200,000 troops to help the Western Xia recover the lost territory.

After getting the news, Li Qianshun was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two days. Even if it is necessary to cede a piece of land to the greedy Liao people, as long as the land of Yan, You, and Hong can be recovered, it will be completely worth the fare.

Even if it was to take back only one Yanzhou, Li Qianqi felt that it was worth it, after all, Yanzhou was not only an extremely important source of wealth in Western Xia in the past, but also the southern gateway of Xingqing Mansion.

Now, after falling into the hands of the Song court, the journey of less than 400 miles really made the entire Western Xia feel uneasy in the bedroom.

And the Western Xia paid a great price, and finally got the approval of Yelu Hongji, the son of the Great Liao, and sent an army of 200,000.

As Renduo Zongbao said before, as long as the Liao and Song sides engaged in a war, it would be an opportunity for Western Xia, and the strength of the two great powers was almost the same.

The battle will inevitably not be won or lost in the short term, and once the two sides fall into a state of protracted war, then Western Xia will not only be able to get a chance to breathe, but may also have the opportunity to profit from it.

Thinking about Li Qianshun, I feel happy, during this time, the entire Western Xia was mobilized, and also went out 30,000 elites to the Western Regions.

Although the soldiers and horses obtained were only 20,000, they could also be used as a precursor for the Western Xia army and used as a crash commander (death squad).

In addition, the party departments once again recruited soldiers and horses, patchwork together, and have gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in the area of Xingqing Mansion, in addition, the army of Yin, Xia and other places in the east that has not returned to Xingqing Mansion has also begun to quietly gather on the east bank of the Wuding River.

As long as the army of the Great Liao arrives, the elite of the land of Xiazhou will follow the Liao army, and the army on the side of Xingqing Mansion will wait for the opportunity to move, and the target is naturally Yanzhou.

Just when Li Qianshun was listening to the report of the famous Ah Wu with great interest, he saw a minister hurrying towards the hall and bowing down in the hall.

"Your Majesty, Xiazhou urgently report, the people of Daxia who were trapped in the Song realm are now heading towards Xiazhou, and there is no Song army to stop them along the way. Today, Xiazhou has taken in more than 25,000 people. There are still a large number of people going to Xiazhou......"

"My people from Great Xia have gone to Xiazhou?" Li Qianshun was a little dazed. "What the hell is going on, could it be that something happened over there?"

"Your Majesty, the Song people induced all the people of our party to move out of Hongzhou and Youzhou City on the grounds that our Great Xia wanted to exchange the people captured in the past, and then gathered the people of our Great Xia in the villages and fields outside Youzhou City, and only served food and ...... every day."

"Many people saw that the Song army was not strictly guarded, so they quietly broke away and fled to Xiazhou......
