Li Yanqing returned to the barracks, but the barracks were particularly lively, Liu Tao sent his son Liu Ziyu to Li Yanqing's main army to send 20,000 horses, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire camp, and the soldiers ran out of the camp tent to check, which was the spoils of war obtained by the Song army in the victory in Hexi.

When Li Yanqing came back, Liu Jian hurriedly greeted him and said excitedly: "This time, all the war horses must be given to us Tiger Benwei!" ”

Wang Gui suddenly said angrily: "Why, could it be that our Long Xiangwei was raised by his stepmother?" ”

Li Yanqing's face sank, "What are you talking about?" ”

The two of them didn't dare to say anything, Li Yanqing glared at the two of them fiercely, and then said: "According to the previous regulations, those who have trained cavalry will be equipped with horses according to the training order, and this rule cannot be messed up!" ”

At present, the Jingzhao Army has a total of 40,000 cavalry, but the army will take turns to send infantry to Gyeongju to train cavalry every year, the training period is generally two months, and after there are new war horses, they will be distributed to the trained soldiers in order, and the soldiers who have not been trained are not eligible to be distributed war horses, which has always been the rule of the Jingzhao Army.

Li Yanqing said to the marching Sima again: "These war horses will be brought down for registration first, and then distributed to the soldiers in accordance with the training order!" ”

"Obey!"

The marching Sima left first, and Li Yanqing said to Liu Jian and Wang Gui: "Notify the generals above the command to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss matters, and the army defending the city will also be notified!" ”

At present, the command system has been divided into three levels, including the upper army command, the middle army command and the lower army command, the upper army command is the current deputy capital commander, including Wang Gui, Liu Ji, Wu Jie, Liu Ziyu, Cao Xing and Yan Qing six people, they are also the general of each guard, the Chinese army is the deputy general of each guard, there are currently 14 people, and the command of the lower army is the former commander promotion, there are currently 28 people, these 48 commanders plus Li Yanqing, it forms the current Jingzhao army senior general group.

But now there are not so many in the barracks, only about thirty-two people, and half an hour later, thirty-two generals are sitting neatly on both sides of the big table in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Yanqing said slowly to everyone: "Last night, I came up with a question for everyone to solve, I don't know if you can think of the answer?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't seem to agree, then Liu Jian smiled and said: "Let's go back and discuss, everyone thinks that the biggest weakness of the Western Xia army is disunity, before our northern expedition, the chiefs of these armies were still fighting for the interests of the tribes and the imperial court, can we use this disunity to divide them?" ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "It's a bit sideways, so let's talk about it specifically, how to divide them?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head apologetically, "I haven't thought of a specific method yet." ”

Li Yanqing said again: "Just now Wang Guidutong came to me, and he proposed that military food is the biggest weakness of the Western Xia army, but I told him that military food is their weakness, but military food alone can't strangle them, and this place is very close to Xingqing Mansion, so they can get supplies immediately." ”

Several generals lowered their heads in shame, it seemed that they were also this plan, Li Yanqing continued: "I think the biggest weakness of the Western Xia army is in the composition of their army, they are actually composed of eight tribal armies, their highest interests are not the imperial court, but their own tribe, have you thought of anything?" ”

Wang Gui slammed the table and stood up and said, "I understand, the best strategy is to attack their tribe. ”

Li Yanqing gave a thumbs up approvingly, "The king is right, the difference in interests is the biggest weakness of this army, if we grasp the weakness of the enemy army, we can divide it and break it down!" ”

．．．．．．．．．

Wei Wang Li Zhizong was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a long hooked nose, triangular eyes, looking quite treacherous, at this time very good at observing words and feelings, good at figuring out people's hearts, he gave Li Qianshun advice, everywhere can be said Li Qianshun's heart, won Li Qianshun's trust, from two years ago, he took away Li Chage's intelligence power, in charge of Western Xia foreign intelligence.

Although the Song army's northern expedition, the intelligence agencies of the Western Xia were very ineffective, and it was not until the Song army assembled in Yan'an Mansion that it was found that it was not good, which led to the slow response of the Western Xia army and brought great passivity to the defense deployment of the Western Xia, but Li Qianshun still put the responsibility for the poor intelligence on Richard's head, he believed that this was the manifestation of Richard's failure of intelligence for more than ten years, Li Zhizong took over too late, and Li Zhizong could not be blamed for the poor intelligence.

From this incident, it can be seen that Li Qianshun trusts Li Zhizong.

Li Zhizong led an army of 150,000 to arrive in Jingzhou, the 150,000 army was composed of eight tribes, forming eight armies, namely the Tuoba Army, the Xifeng Army, the Fei Ting Army, the Xiangli Army, the Pochao Army, the Yeli Army, the Mi Bao Army, and the Lou Bo Army, of which the largest army was the Tuoba Army, composed of 40,000 people, followed by the Xifeng Army, with 30,000 people, and most of the other tribes were in the early 10,000s, and the least Lou Bo Army was only 4,000 people.

According to the compromise reached between the imperial court and the ministries, these armies were led by the ministries themselves, with a high degree of autonomy, and they had the right to refuse some discriminatory military orders.

The commander of the Tuoba army is called Tuoba Wei, it stands to reason that the Tuoba Department is the leader of the party clan, the imperial court royal family was born in the Tuoba Department, and the Tuoba Department should be the most loyal to the imperial court, but in fact it is the opposite, just because the imperial court was born in the Tuoba Department, the exploitation of the Tuoba Department is also the most ruthless, last year the Jin soldiers forcibly conscripted a million sheep in Western Xia, and the court distributed them to the various departments, and the Tuoba alone undertook 300,000 sheep, which aroused the great indignation of the Tuoba Department, but the Tuoba Department and the other seven departments are not very united, and they like to go alone, It gives people the illusion of collusion with the imperial court.

Tuoba Wei is the young chief of the Tuoba Department, about twenty-seven or eight years old, his father Tuoba Wanli has been the chief of the Great Chief for 20 years, and has a high prestige in the tribe, this time he sent troops to help the imperial court, although many tribal elders are not very willing, but Tuoba Wanli still takes into account the overall situation, and tries to override public opinion, so that his son can lead the army to help the imperial court, and it is the leader of the Tuoba Department that other tribes have followed up, temporarily giving up bargaining with the imperial court, and sending the main leaders of the tribe to lead the army.

As soon as the army arrived in Jingzhou, Li Zhizong convened the leaders of the tribes to discuss the next move, generally speaking, this kind of consultation is unnecessary, Li Zhizong can directly order, but this time is different from before, Li Zhizong knows that everyone is reluctant to send troops, so he also tries to take into account the emotions of all parties and show enough respect.

"According to the latest intelligence of the spies, the current Song army camp is still in Lingzhou, with an army of about 100,000 people, in terms of the number of troops, we do have to overpower the other party, but at the level of 100,000 people, the difference between 100,000 people and 150,000 people is not big, and the other party has very sharp firearms, and has successively defeated the Western Xia army, and the morale is booming, we must not underestimate the enemy."

Li Zhizong glanced at everyone, and continued: "Inviting you here today is like listening to everyone's opinions, how should we fight the Song army?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the commander of the fine seal army, Xi Feng Bei, also said: "We are usually herdsmen, and we have not undergone special training, we just know how to ride horses, and we don't understand all kinds of tactics, we only know how to puff up a charge, Mingjin retreats, don't think too highly of us, we will be disappointed." ”

Tuoba Wei immediately retorted: "Du Shuai didn't ask us how to march and fight, but just asked us about our strategy to deal with the Song army. ”

Xi Fengbei also narrowed his eyes, "When I led the troops to fight, the young chief was still breastfeeding!" It's ridiculous that you can accuse me now! ”

His face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "What are you!" ”

Tuoba Wei was furious, pulled out his sword and stabbed at the face of the fine seal, and the thin seal also jumped up, drew the knife to block, and shouted: "Little rabbit, do you want to play really?" ”

Everyone got up to persuade each other, and Tuoba was so angry that he scolded, "You old Wang Ba, dare to hurt people, there is a kind of one-on-one confrontation with me, see how I cut off your head!" ”

Li Zhizong yelled, "Enough, stop it all for me!" ”

He stood up, turned around and rushed away angrily, leaving behind a group of stunned tribal leaders, what kind of attitude is this of the marshal.

Li Zhizong really had a headache, he didn't want to express his position at all, the discord between the Fine Seal Department and the Tuoba Department began hundreds of years ago, as long as he had a slight inclination, he would inevitably offend the other party, except for leaving, he really couldn't think of any other way.

The anger of Tuoba Wei and Hosan Betsuya was finally dissuaded.

Tuoba Wei angrily returned to his camp, slashed his sword on the stake, and scolded: "What kind of thing is his fine seal, what kind of battle has he fought, and they have the ability to destroy Li Yanqing in the fine seal, otherwise don't open your mouth and fart!" ”

Tuoba Wen, the general who came back with him, persuaded him: "Your father has repeatedly told you that although the Fine Seal Department is not in harmony with our Tuoba Department, for the sake of the overall situation, everyone should still tolerate each other and not have internal strife." ”

As if he had been trampled on a sore foot, Tuoba Wei suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Who is provoking, who is the first to insult me?" Am I wrong about him, Du Shuai is asking about countermeasures, but he is yin and yang and says that soldiers can't fight, what kind of attitude is this? Why do you want me to tolerate it, so that he can insult me casually? ”

This really can't be persuaded, this young chief has a hot temper and strong self-esteem, and if he persuades him again, something will have to happen, Tuoba Wen sighed, "It's up to Du Shuai to deal with this matter!" ”

"I don't care how Du Shuai appeases him, but that old bastard must apologize to me, otherwise I'm not done with him!"

Tuoba Wen shook his head, how could the Fine Seal Department apologize to the Tuoba Department, he was also a little worried in his heart, the Son of Heaven should not let Li Zhizong be the commander, he couldn't suppress the tribes at all, he had no prestige at all, and something would happen sooner or later.
