Chapter 639: Brother Qiu Loses Again
Huizong immediately asked people to recruit, at this time they had long been unable to take care of the affairs of the Tang Kingdom, after all, there were only internal contradictions, and there was no critical situation of looting property and population in large quantities.
The officials were immediately in a hurry, and soon the two envoys of the Xiaozhong Jinglu Xianggong and the Xixia Kingdom were sent out, and within two days, the Xiaozhong Jingluo Xianggong had already made a return, and the Xiaozhong Xianggong had already sent a few henchmen to lead an army of 100,000 to start searching for the Xixia invasion team, and he also found out and reported that the invasion site of the Xixia State was several dangerous roads on the border - and this has always been the direct responsibility of the imperial court.
Huizong was furious after receiving the report, and found that it was Gao Yu and Yang Jian who had their idea to withdraw their troops from there and scolded these two people for their bloody heads, and the two hurriedly knelt down in fright to ask for guilt, Cai Jingtong and they immediately interceded for them, saying that they also had good intentions, and in order to save money for the country, the culprit was the violation of the agreement of the Western Xia Kingdom.
After all, the artist emperor still cherished these two favored ministers, and he spared them after scolding for a while, and at this time, the envoys sent to the Western Xia also hurriedly sent back a handwritten reply from the king of the Western Xia, Li Qianshun, who was deeply "shocked and regretful" for this incident, and said that the two people of Li Dezhong and Chamur who came from the invasion were the "rebels" of the Western Xia, and they fled out of the rebellion, and expressed their willingness to send a large army to track them down, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty could open the border and let his men and horses in.
Zong Ze angrily scolded this group of party members is really shameless, this is clearly to take the opportunity to invade the Great Song Dynasty, if you let the small kind of Jingluo Xianggong let go of the defense line, it is no different from luring a wolf into the house, not only can not agree to Li Qianshun's request, on the contrary, let the border double the defense, after all, the Xixia Kingdom has as many as 500,000 people, and the iron harrier is even more powerful, once the border is crossed, the damage is even more incalculable.
Huizong also understood the urgency of the matter, and immediately replied to Li Qianshun in person according to Zong Ze's opinion, saying that there was no need to bother them, and the two 'rebels' would be handed over to the Great Song Dynasty to deal with.
The letter was immediately sent back quickly, but now the top priority is how to deal with the two invading Western Xia troops, and now the team on the side of the small kind of Jingluo Xianggong not only can't continue to pursue but also hurry back, Li Qianshun is clearly testing the reaction of the Song Dynasty, and what's even worse is that he may have succeeded, at this moment, I'm afraid that their Western Xia Kingdom is like a cat that smells fishy, and they are gearing up to make the next step.
Therefore, Huizong immediately ordered the privy envoy and the palace marshal's mansion to find a way to solve the matter, and finally after some tossing, they finally came up with a solution, first, ordered all parts of Yongzhou to be on guard, and could not give these two bandit armies a chance, and at the same time, Yongzhou Prefecture should also step up its efforts to suppress the bandits; Second, the imperial court sent Liangzhou's Wulu Jiedu envoys to lead their own troops and horses to pursue the enemy, and they were under the unified command of Taiwei Gao Yu, who made meritorious contributions.
And Su Yuanjing also put forward a suggestion, that is, to borrow troops from the four 'thieves' of the King of Jin, the King of Chu, the King of Wu and the King of Tang to deal with the Western Xia, of course, the price is to recruit them and recognize their current status, but this suggestion was quickly denied, and most officials felt that this was a shame for the imperial court, how could they bow to these thieves?
Su Yuanjing also had to sigh silently and return to his place, in his opinion, the external contradictions with Xixia are far more urgent than the internal, rather than suffering internal and external troubles at the same time, it is better to concentrate on dealing with the outside first, but it is helpless to get the understanding and support of others.
It is for this reason that the Tang side has not waited for the reaction of the imperial court, not that the imperial court has acquiesced to their status, but that they really can't take care of it.
Soon Gao Yu once again took a group of subordinates out of the division, Song Jiang also set off with the team as a staff officer of the Zanan army, I have to say that Brother Qiu's command is really not covered, the five road jiedu envoys add up to 50,000 troops, plus his own more than 10,000 personal soldiers, not long after entering Yongzhou, he met Chamur's team, and the two sides exchanged hands Chamur sent people to feint and attacked, and personally led the most elite more than 3,000 iron harrier troops under his subordinates from the back road as a surprise soldier to take the ball brother in the middle army, intending to carry out the 'beheading' plan.
In fact, the strength of those few knots is not weak, one of them is Pudong patrol sword Guan Sheng, he is the descendant of the famous general Guan Yuguan of the Three Kingdoms, outstanding knife skills, proficient in the art of war, led by the two deputy generals Choujun Ma Xuanzan and Jing Muxuan Hao Siwen are also heroes, they have steadily suppressed the Western Xia team in the front, but Gao Yu saw a biao enemy army desperately rushed to the Chinese army, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to protect him and escape, and let the former army come to escort him, At this moment, the formation was suddenly chaotic, and the good situation was reversed at once, and Chamur was fiercely rushed and killed, losing nearly 10,000 horses.
The iron harrier is a bit like a chain of horses, all from people to horses are wearing iron armor, but also are skilled warriors, the impact is very strong, these iron harrier troops are hereditary, Lao Tzu died son dry, son died grandson dry, good treatment, high status, those armor weapons are also passed down from generation to generation, is the ace of the Western Xia army.
Where had Brother Qiu seen such a powerful team, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly reported back to Huizong, exaggerating the enemy's strength tenfold, and even more said that the iron harrier was amazing, and then he stationed in the nearby Wuwei City first, relying on the city defense to resist the other party.
Although Chamur won this time, it was also the first time he suffered losses, and it was also seen that the Song soldiers also had brave generals, but this commander was really a waste, so he didn't dare to force him very much, so he simply changed the direction to harass again, anyway, his purpose was only to plunder rather than rob the state and seize the government.
Huizong was shocked after receiving Gao Yu's report, and hurriedly asked the officials what to do, everyone stopped talking at this time, they didn't expect that Xixia was just a random team sent out to have such strength, Gao Yu brought fifty or sixty thousand elite forbidden troops were not opponents, and now who dares to send them to death?
Although the veteran Zong Ze took the initiative to ask for help and was willing to lead a team to rescue Gao Yu, Huizong saw that he was already in his sixties, and people did not take their muscles and bones as their ability when they were old, and just marching was enough to toss at his age, so how could he go to war? Therefore, he just shook his head and refused, and the rest of the officials looked down at their official boots, no one wanted to speak, and most of the traitors had been in power over the years, and most of the capable people could not rise, and in the court, they were either people who tended to be inflammatory, or they were mediocre, and they were naturally caught blind when they encountered danger.
Brother Qiu is like the national football team, the record is quite stable, and it is difficult to win
