This high-ranking family arranged for their children to enter the military gilding, in fact, it has been done since ancient times, and at the beginning it was also a father-son army, but later there was a rule that did not speak to others, so now they can only use this method to support each other.

And I am afraid that there is also the meaning of mutual restraint in it, for example: If I am besieged with your son, you must at least care about your son's life and death.

Huang Jie and Han Jinbao are commensurate with uncles and nephews, so naturally they don't avoid any taboos, and it just so happens that Han Jinbao is also drunk, so he and Huang Jie also spit out the bitter water of going to Lanzhou to fight this time.

Not to mention, this war against Western Xia is really a war of grievances.

Now the lord of Western Xia is named Li Qianshun, but he is also a young and promising general, and in recent years, he has been able to bargain with the Song Dynasty every time. Song Xia tug-of-war for a hundred years, the old account will not be mentioned, it is said that the beginning of the current war, is in May of the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Western Xia calendar (1104), Song Shaanxi transfer envoy, Zhiyan Prefecture Tao Jiefu, in the routine tug-of-war surprise troops to attack the Xia Jing stone fort, seize its grain cellar, build a castle to defend.

Then Li Gan also took advantage of this to make a big fuss by the way, openly saying that "the Song Dynasty took away the golden cave pot of Western Xia!" ”

So he sent out the Praetorian Iron Cavalry to fight with the Song Dynasty, but the Xia army that rushed to the aid of Shibao was repelled by the Song army. In June of the same year, the Xia army and the Song generals fought in Lingzhou Sichuan and were defeated again. In October, Li Qianshun sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to ask for peace, but after refusal, he was forced to gather the forces of the Fourth Supervision Army Division and launch an attack on Jingyuan and other prefectures of the Song Dynasty, besiege Pingxia City, and attack the Zhenrong army.

In the following two years, the Song army attacked Western Xia many times, and the Xia army was repeatedly defeated, Li Qianshun twice sent envoys to Liao for help, and the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, asking for a boycott of the army, and asking for the return of the occupied land in Western Xia.

In February of the sixth year of Zhenghe (1106), under the pressure and expediency of the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty court promised to return the Western Xia border land occupied since Chongning and negotiate peace with Xia. However, Cai Jing and Tong Guan still privately used troops against Western Xia in the name of Anbang on the border, and the policy of "opening the border and inviting merit" has not changed, and this time Tong Guan went to Lanzhou for this purpose.

The so-called opening of the border and inviting merit is also very easy to understand, the opening of the side is the so-called use of force to open up the territory, and the invitation of merit is to design and skillfully obtain military merit. One of the major characteristics of Tong Guan's presence in Lanzhou is that he likes to deploy troops and move frequently, and when he sees the weak loopholes in the defense of the Western Xia, he will stab a guy, so there will be "good news" coming, and then without waiting for the Western Xia to organize a counteroffensive, the troops will be transferred away, and the occupied place will be handed over to the Western Xia.

And the Xixia people are not easy to provoke, since the frontal battlefield can not be beaten, they also sent light cavalry to cooperate with the iron harrier to the hinterland of the Song Realm to fight the grass valley and plunder, so the Song army of the large army to fight the grass valley of the regular army of the Western Xia, the Western Xia lined up the rangers and repeatedly cut off the grain route of the Song army, so that the Song army is also miserable.

And this time in the siege of the Zhenwu army, was beaten anxious Li Qianshun happened to meet the Xihe, Huanqing, Jingyuan and other places of the earthquake, ordered the Western Xia Jin King Cha Ge led tens of thousands of the most elite infantry forbidden army in the Western Xia to besiege the Zhenwu army, vowing to change the Zhenwu City from the map and it to change the surname to the Western Xia, Han Jinbao's Japanese cavalry was originally tasked with guarding Liu Fa's infantry to reinforce Zhenwu City, who knew that it was intercepted halfway, Liu Fa's infantry army originally formed a formation to resist the impact of the Western Xia army, but when the Western Xia retreated, Liu Fa forced Han Jinbao's troops to go out to pursue.

This Japanese army is a good cavalry, but the cavalry of the Song Dynasty and the cavalry of the Western Xia, whether in terms of training, equipment or combat effectiveness, are not at the same level at all, and in the end, 800 cavalry went out to pursue, but only more than 180 cavalry fled back. Then after walking around the process, the former army commander Tong Guanxian each hit fifty boards, sentenced Liu Fa to be unaware of the enemy, took risks, and punished him for half a year. As for Han Jinbao, the initial judgment was that the command was improper and the enemy did not move forward, and his crime should be beheaded!

It's just that he later went through the process of the Privy Council, and took the cowardice of the enemy, but he also made all the military achievements accumulated by Han Jinbao in the northwest for three years, and wrote it off, and asked him to continue to be the commander of the right wing of the back of the time, and led the remnants back to Tokyo to reorganize.

And now, the Japanese army he led was originally a regulation of 5,000 men and horses, but now the shortage has reached 3,200 people, and there are less than 800 horses, so last night's mobilization he could only gather 800 horsemen to quickly enter the city, and then he was asked to surround the outside of the chariot formation to guard, and also asked them cavalry to get off the horse to dig the ground and erect fence walls, until they were tired until they just had a rest.

Although Huang Jie really didn't have much time to chat with Han Jinbao in Tokyo, he still listened carefully to Han Jinbao's words, and found that he had ignored Xixia, who was also a big henchman of the Great Song Dynasty. In recent years, although he has also paid attention to the court, his attention has been mostly on the side of Liao and Jin, and he is located in Chengdu, so he can get some news from Tubo Qingtang, but this kind of folk news is naturally beneficial to increase, and if it is not profitable, it will decrease, and occasionally news comes, and it is also the defeat of the Song army in Western Xia, how many levels of beheading, etc., which makes many news beheaded and tailed in the process of transmission, and it is useless for people to use it.

Han Jinbao complained for a while, and then fixed the slot on several items, one is that there is a large shortage of soldiers in the forbidden army, claiming that there are 800,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo, but his troops have returned to Beijing for more than half a year, and more than half of the shortfall cannot be filled. Another is that the problem of lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more serious, and now the cavalry force of more than 1,800 people only has 800 horses.

In addition, the problem of empty salaries in the army is getting more and more serious, and the military salaries of Han Jinbao's department are stripped down layer by layer every month, and the actual number that is really distributed to his hands is not enough to pay the existing 1,800 people, but Han Jinbao knows that the military salaries are issued according to the full number of 5,000 people.

When Huang Jie heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said secretly: "I'm afraid that among the 80,000 taels of silver that Gao Yu sent to buy shares, a lot of them should be Uncle Jinbao and their gang of soldiers." ”

But saying that the wine had been eaten for almost an hour, Huang Dalong also escorted Henry back, and reported that the matter had been completed, but after Henry finished saying this, Huang Dalong scratched his head and said: "Young master, when we went to the city to do business, we didn't hear any movement on the side of Mahang Street, so I asked someone to investigate, and it seems that the master did not arrange the porridge according to the young master." ”

Huang Jie's father, since the start of the construction of the Huang family's new store on Mahang Street, has been welding there an inch, to see the Huang family's first new store in Tokyo City rising from the ground, it was the situation like yesterday, and he didn't come home.

So I heard that the old man didn't put Laba porridge on Laba as planned, and Huang Jie didn't think it was strange, after all, there was such a big thing last night, so there was still time to take care of this?

Then he also said to Huang Dalong: "In a while, you will ask the plowshare and the tree to go to the inner city, and take my father back first." ”

Huang Dalong promised to send Henry back first, and Huang Jie continued to accompany Han Jinbao to eat and drink, but it didn't take long to see more than a dozen puffs of cooking smoke suddenly coming out of the ruins of the Xinmen tiles outside the wooden gate, and there were boiling human voices, Huang Jie and Han Jinbao naturally saw it, Han Jinbao was busy and sent the pawn to investigate, and soon heard the pawn report: "It is said that there is a Huang Dashan person in Tokyo who came to give up the porridge, or the Laba porridge of Shilao Shizi!"
