Chapter 686: Two Fools Who Fell into the Net
Wang Ningan galloped all the way, all kinds of information kept coming, and while he was temporarily resting, Wang Ningan stuffed some news to Han Zhongyan, read it from beginning to end, and suddenly his back was soaked.
According to these intelligences, after losing the Hengshan line, the situation of Western Xia did become more and more difficult.
The significance of Hengshan to Western Xia was very significant.
The first Hengshan has pastures, farmland, salt, and iron, which is the second largest source of wealth in Western Xia, and its importance is even ranked before the Hexi Corridor, except for the Hetao, which is Hengshan.
Secondly, the Hengshan Qiang people were the main source of Shanbazi, and Shanbazi was the main force of the Western Xia infantry battle.
Third, the terrain of Hengshan is dangerous, and if you control the front line of Hengshan, you will have the strategic initiative, and you can attack the Great Song Dynasty at will without worrying about counterattacking.
At that time, Li Yuanhao also won Yinzhou, Youzhou, Weizhou and other places, and completely mastered Hengshan, before ascending the throne and becoming the emperor and establishing a country on his own. If there was no Hengshan as a barrier, Western Xia would not be able to establish a country!
Such a precious piece of territory, of course Li Liangzuo didn't want to give up easily.
But the offensive of the Great Song Dynasty is too fierce, if it continues to be consumed, Western Xia will have to take out the elite to fight, and when the 100,000 captured army is exhausted, Li Liangzuo really doesn't know what else to rely on!
After careful consideration and discussion with Liang Yiburi, he decided to give up Hengshan.
Of course, he didn't really give up, but lured the enemy to go deeper, striving to annihilate the Song army in Lingzhou and Gyeongju, as long as he defeated the main force of the Song army and wanted to restore the front line of Hengshan, he would be captured.
It's just that Li Liangzuo miscalculated the opponent.
Wang Ning'an did not continue the attack at all, but vigorously managed Hengshan, using it as a barrier in the northwest to attack the forward positions of Western Xia.
Wang Ningan made this move, which immediately made Li Liangzuo's teeth itch, and cut a piece of meat for nothing, and people were not fooled at all!
Due to the retreat of the people and horses, the army was crowded into small areas such as Gyeongju, and there were constant conflicts and contradictions between them, and some people even wanted to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Liangzuo killed people, no worse than his father, and during this period of time, thousands of people were executed...... According to various intelligence, Han Zhongyan quickly judged the situation in Western Xia.
"Wang Xianggong, someone wants to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, it's true! But this Yu Zang Hua Ma must be fake! ”
Wang Ningan leaned against the poplar tree and listened carefully, Han Zhongyan continued: "Li Liangzuo is ruthless, once he finds out that he is colluding with the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is a nobleman of Western Xia, it is a dead end, and there is no luck. However, after this Yuzang Huama was severely punished, he was still able to guard Lingzhou and take charge of the army, which is very unusual! ”
Han Zhongyan judged: "I think that it should be the bait deliberately thrown by Western Xia to lure our army to take the bait. ”
Wang Ningan nodded, "A few months ago, Zhu Lingling led 100,000 people to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, I just gave him a banner, it's not that I'm ruthless, I'm really worried, in case Zhu Lingling surrenders by fraud, the army will not be able to come back." This time, we have taken advantage of the strength of our troops and financial resources, as long as we follow the steps and push the past, it is enough to win, so why play any tricks! What a trick! ”
Wang Ningan slammed the ground hard, his eyes were full of murderous aura.
He and Di Qing are both old fritters, invincible to all poisons, Xixia is playing conspiracy and tricks, and he can't deceive Wang Ningan at all. A low-level thing like a deception is even more unacceptable.
It's ridiculous, the secret spy department is self-righteous, they didn't find a way to win, but instead trapped 70,000 horses.
If it's just a matter of merit, it's okay, but according to all kinds of signs, things are definitely not pure.
That's it!
When the matter of the battlefield is solved, you will definitely kill a river of blood when you turn around, and whoever is implicated in it will not want to live!
"Let's go!"
Wang Ningan only rested for an hour, then immediately set off and continued to Hongzhou.
……
Just when Wang Ning'an was hurrying quickly, Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu, with their men and horses, had already walked for 5 days, 300 miles deep into the territory of Western Xia.
Chong Zhi is a general with troops, and suddenly came an order that day, asking him to lead the troops to meet the surrendering people, Chong Zhi was a little resistant, there was no intelligence, and Wang Ningan did not have an order, so he pulled tens of thousands of people out, which was too child's play.
But Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu are both Qincha, and they took out the information sent by the secret spy department, which is indeed the case.
He was afraid of delaying the military plane, so he came out with him.
However, as he went deeper and deeper into the territory of Western Xia, he discovered the problem, and the legendary people of Western Xia disappeared for a long time. On the contrary, Shenwei, Longwei, and several border armies followed, and gathered together, with sixty or seventy thousand people.
That's not all, in addition, many people drove pack horses, sent dried meat and salt, and fried noodles and water...... I won't do it, this is picking up people, it's clearly an expedition!
He found two Qincha and questioned them, and these two people only said that the people of Western Xia had nothing and that the food was for them.
Chong Yu was sent back to the tent, and he immediately brought his second brother Chong E.
"Second brother, I'm thinking that things are getting more and more wrong, you leave quickly, immediately go and inform Wang Xianggong and ask what's going on!"
Chong E nodded, "Big brother, you have to pay more attention, that old gelding doesn't look like a good thing." ”
"I know."
sent away the second brother, and after another day, they were still advancing, and they were getting closer and closer to Lingzhou.
I can't hold back anymore.
"Lord Qincha, the lone army has gone deep, and it has already committed a big taboo, the so-called surrendered people, I haven't seen it for a long time, your actions have violated military regulations, I, I want to impeach you!"
Hearing the words of the seed, Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu didn't care, Gao Zunyu laughed, "General Chong, of course someone surrendered, but this person is in Lingzhou City!" ”
"What? Are you going to attack Lingzhou? ”
"That's right! We're going to attack Lingzhou! ”
"No!" Chong Yu stood up suddenly, "The two Qincha, the prince has already had an order not to attack Western Xia. What's more, Lingzhou is a built city, we people have no siege equipment, no food and grass, and the rations around us can last for seven days at most, how can we take Lingzhou? Isn't that a joke? ”
"Hahaha!" Gao Zunyu's rough laughter rang out.
"What's so difficult about this, Yu Zang Huama promised to do internal response, as soon as the people arrived, he would open the city immediately. When you enter Lingzhou, are you still worried about not eating? ”
The more I listen to it, the more wrong it becomes.
"What are you kidding, pinning the victory or defeat on one person! And this person is still the general of Qingtang who surrendered to Western Xia, how can you trust him?
He was completely angry at this time, "Gonggong Tan, General Gao!" Although you are Qincha, you can't come nonsense! Forgiveness can not be accompanied! ”
He turned around to leave, but Gao Zunyu stretched out his big hand and stopped him.
"What? The surname is high, have you ever thought about it? He raised his eyebrows and was domineering.
Gao Zunyu smiled faintly, "General, don't get me wrong, I'm letting you see something." ”
As he spoke, he sent the order for the transfer of troops from the political hall to the kind of reprimand.
He took a closer look, and it was indeed true, it said that in the event of an emergency, Lord Qincha was able to control the army...... "What is this?" Let you control the men and horses, and do not let you lead the troops to fight, you are overstepping your authority! ”
Tan Xian laughed, "General, don't you understand?" Wang Ning'an's reluctance to move forward was nothing more than self-respect and ill-intentionedness. Our family and General Gao came by holy order, and His Majesty has already gained insight into Wang Ning'an's conspiracy, so he asked us to lead the troops to attack and take Lingzhou, if it weren't for His Majesty's nod, how could the Secret Spy Department send the information over? ”
Gao Zunyu also said: "The sage knows your loyalty to your family, and specially instructed you to rely on your strength to cut off traitors. If it weren't for the saint's explanation, how would we let the general bring the troops over? "
As soon as these two sang and harmonized, they were also a little confused.
After all, he is just a general, he only cares about war, and he is not so clear about the affairs of the court.
The battle of Hengshan was fought well, but because of this, Wang Ning'an is in the sky, his prestige is getting higher and higher, the water is full, and the moon is full and the moon is losing, could it be that His Majesty really wants to attack Wang Xianggong?
He is angry, he usually has strategists around him, and there are two brothers who can serve as advisers, but now there is no one, so he can only rely on himself, but even if he wants to break his head, he can't guess the situation in front of him!
Gao Zunyu said meaningfully: "General, Your Majesty may not want the life of Wang Xianggong, but he missed the opportunity and made the official family dissatisfied...... When the time comes, Your Majesty will take advantage of the situation to remove Wang Ning'an's military power, which is reasonable, so don't hesitate anymore! ”
Chong Xu's face was ugly, "Two Qincha, I'm worried that Yuzang Huama is not sincere to surrender, if that happens, the lives of these 70,000 brothers will be in danger!" ”
"Hahaha, don't worry about the general." Tan Xian patted his chest and said: "The secret spy department does things, not a drop of water leaks, Yu Zang Huama will definitely surrender, a kind of general, the miracle of the world is at your fingertips, don't hesitate!" ”
"If you don't lose your head, you will burn high incense." Although he didn't believe the words of these two people, he was not only a messenger, but also had the order of the political affairs hall and the official document of the secret spy department, and the sum of several things was like a big lock, so that he did not dare to resist.
Gao Zunyu and Tan Xian didn't care what Chong Yu thought, the two of them were divided into shifts, one stayed by Chong Xu's side, and the other went to command the people.
They quickened the march and made the soldiers abandon their superfluous things, take only dry rations, and travel under the stars.
In this way, the centaurs walked out for another three days, and Lingzhou City was finally in sight.
"The villain has been ordered by my master, he is already ready in the city, and the third watch will open the city tonight to welcome the king!"
After receiving the secret letter from Xiao Bing, Gao Zunyu and Tan Xian were secretly relieved, and Tan Xian generously took out a few golden beans and stuffed them into Xiao Bing.
"Your master is obedient, and the court will not treat him badly."
After discussion, Gao Zunyu mobilized 30,000 horses to take the lead, leaving Tan Xian and Chong Yu as the rear army. When the night came, Gao Zunyu led his men and horses and rushed to the black Lingzhou City.
At the head of the city, someone pouted, very disappointed, and said to himself: "If you can't catch the phoenix, you have to catch the peacock...... Who knows, it's really unfortunate to catch a house sparrow! ”
