The news of the fall of Eryan soon spread to the Central Plains, and Xu Shao received a letter in Tokyo. Deeply feeling that the situation is difficult, the Guanzhong Plain may not be safe. He was born as a soldier and also served in Shaanxi, so he naturally knew whether the strategy in the seed division was right or wrong. But in good conscience, he didn't dare to take such a big risk and approved the abandonment of Guanzhong. Li Gang asked him for instructions, but he just wanted to throw this hot potato to the Tokyo Left-behind Division. However, he does not hold a grudge against Li Boji, the situation in Shaanxi is so complicated. Li Gang is not easy either.

In his reply to the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, Xu Shao vaguely instructed to "move the camera" and said that since the planter was seriously ill. If he could not serve the council, he would be appeased by Jingyuan Jinglu and make Xu Yuan temporarily take charge of Shaanxi's military affairs. At the same time, he also reported the matter to the Zhenjiang Bank in the Gold Medal Express Horse, and asked the Bank to determine the candidate for the Shaanxi system as soon as possible.

This time, the situation is even more confusing, Shaanxi can't make its own decisions, and wants to ask Tokyo, which is thousands of miles away. Tokyo did not dare to withstand this thunder, and asked Zhenjiang, which was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, to be there. But one Jiangnan, one Qin Long, even if the emperor wants to take care of Shaanxi's affairs, he is beyond his reach. Zhao Tuo and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs only knew that Shaanxi was fighting at this time, and no one knew what it was like. If you wait until Zhenjiang Xing approves this matter, let alone daylily, the meat will be cold when you return to the pot.

There is no proposition on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens are not idle. After conquering Yan'an, although Muhan gathered troops and horses in Duzhou, he actually just wanted to force the Xu brothers and Qu Duan to quit their troops.

After the Qu Shi Yin returned to Huanqing, and the Xu brothers withdrew to Yaozhou, Mu Han immediately arranged a military operation to seize the entire territory of Langyan.

The two armies of Baoan and Luode, both of which have large jurisdictions, were set up in the past to fight against the Xia Kingdom. Although the army is not many, the difficulty lies in the fact that there are not only two fortified cities in its defense area. The fortress military village is blooming everywhere. This product of the Song Army's "barrier promotion strategy" made Sticky Han a headache. Let's fight. Step by step, when will it be light? If you don't fight, you're afraid of a fire in the backyard. After consulting with his subordinates, it was decided to use both hands to attack and appease. One side attacked, the other side surrendered. Yan'an was lost, and the generals of the two armies were unstable, and many surrendered to the Jurchens.

By the beginning of July, the security army surrendered, and the Suide army was alone in northern Shaanxi. It is said that the surrender of Suide is also a matter of course, but in this place, the Jin army hit a nail. Yu Dezhijun is also surnamed Xu. The name is called Huiyan, what's this. People are born in martial arts, and they are "martial arts and first", to put it simply, it is a martial champion. Honest and loyal, his wife is a niece who can be sought. Therefore, as soon as I heard that Yan'an had fallen. He contacted the Zhejia army on Linfu Road behind him, preparing to fight to the death.

Jin Jiang Sali drank and coerced Yan'an to come to detain the city, but he didn't expect to be hit by Xu Huiyan. The attack lasted for three days, and thousands of soldiers and horses were folded. This place is known as the front line of the Song and Xia Dynasty, not to mention the main army, that is, the township soldiers, and even as long as the men and women of thirteen or fourteen years old, they will dance with guns and sticks, and the Jin army was attacked twice in one night. had no choice but to return to Yan'an. Sticky Han was furious when he heard the news, Yan'an City has a wide range of soldiers, how can the little Yude stop my Jurchen army? Then he changed to Han Chang, the general of the Han army in Liaodong, to attack. Feasible strategies to come. Li Gang had no choice but to summon Xu Yuan, the "deputy envoy of the power system", and gathered the first cadre of the Xuanfu Department and the chief of the supervision department in Shaanxi to discuss the proposal put forward by the Taiwei to abandon the guard and surrender Qin Long.

As soon as this issue was raised, it immediately caused an uproar. Officials represented by Wang Shu, the judge of Xuanfu, and Wan Qishang, who raised the small prison, fiercely opposed it, believing that Chang'an should be held to protect Guanzhong. And said that the planter was old and faint, and he was sick and obsessed. Dare to propose to give up Guanzhong!

Xu Yuan, the deputy envoy of the power system, naturally strongly agreed. First of all, he believes that this strategy is correct, otherwise Shaanxi will lose. Secondly, Jingyuan was his root, and from the beginning of the invasion of the concubine, he led his troops to Shaanxi and fought side by side with his two cousins. Now that Lang Yan is lost and the situation has deteriorated, he also wants to go back to guard his house as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if you want to stick to Chang'an and protect Guanzhong, who can Xu Xuanfu rely on? Isn't it our Xu family brothers? Pull our troops to the Guanzhong Plain to fight the Jin army? Am I full? A few days ago, I played against my concubine in Tongzhou, and I was injured five times. If it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the lieutenant, I would have been almost fucking defeated. Anyway, now I recognize a truth, fighting a big battle with the Jin army in the plains is either crazy or stupid.

As a result, Xu Yuan's words angered people, and the imperial court used military ministers to run the army, and the civil officials did not think so. You're still jumping so high? Do you have the final say? In the end, you have to nod your head to Xuanfu Xianggong!

Ma Kuo was beaten by Wan Qi because of his help! Which green onion are you? A criminal officer with historical problems, not promoted by the prime minister, you are still a rogue in the mountains, do you have the right to speak? Isn't it that your Ma family's father and son deceived the Holy Hearing and promoted the maritime alliance, can there be today's Jurchen southern invasion? You should repay the king with death now, why are you still vigorously advocating the abandonment of guarding Guanzhong? What are your intentions?

Li Gang saw that most people were against it. didn't say anything at the time, and after they dispersed, they left Xu Yuan alone.

Watching Wan Qishang and the others leave the lobby, Xu Yuan was still angry. These things, standing and talking don't hurt in the waist, is it you or me to fight? The meaning of a scholar, empty talk and misdeeds, mother!

Li Gang has not eaten tea and dinner for the past few days, and he has not slept steadily, and his face seems to be black. What is especially remarkable is that the sideburns on both sides are completely white before you know it. After the officials left, he stepped down the hall. casually found a place to sit down, and said to Xu Yuan: "Yide sat down and said." ”

Xu Yuan can't say that he has any friendship with Li Gang, but he knows that he is very important to the old Jiuji of the Xu family, and he is a hardcore anti-war faction, so he respects him a little more than others. After a fist salute, he sat down.

"You also saw it just now, most of them are advocating sticking to Guanzhong

The talk network started, and Xu Yuan was anxious. Impatiently said: "Xuanxiang, stick to it, at least you have to keep it, right?" How to keep this pass? It's not the ambition of a long gold thief, as soon as the Jurchen army crosses the Yellow River, Guanzhong is equivalent to falling. Fortunately. Wanyan class stayed in the plan of the Taiwei and was led to Dingrong. Now Sticky Han is making a comeback, and he is not close to Weishui at all. As soon as Lang Yan was lost, Guanzhong was already exposed! ”

Li Gang didn't interrupt him, and after listening patiently, he asked, "If you guard Chang'an, are you sure?" In fact, there is no need to ask this, Xu Yuan's attitude is already there

The latter didn't seem to want to repeat the proposition that had been repeated many times, and after a little thought, he asked rhetorically: "Xuanxiang, if you want to stick to Guanzhong, where do the soldiers and horses come from?" "If you want to fight with the Jin army in Guanzhong, not to mention too much, at least 180,000 troops.

Li Gang groaned: "The combined strength of the three commanders of Shaanxi, Jingyuan, and Qin Feng is already more than 100,000 people, and there are troops in the hands of Qu Duan, it should be enough, right?" ”

If this was said by someone else, Xu Yuan would have been angry early, and there are not more wars than people! But Li Gang is a civilian official, and it is normal that he does not understand military affairs, and he is the highest governor of Shaanxi. Therefore, he explained in detail: "Xuanfu Xianggong, it is unknown whether the first Qu Duan will come. Secondly, even if the forces of Chong Taiwei, Xu Wei, Zhao Dian and the humble positions are combined, there is no guarantee of victory over the Jin people. Since ancient times, the conquest is advantageous to the territory, the cavalry is advantageous to the wilderness, the infantry is advantageous and dangerous, and it is unwise to fight a decisive battle with the Jin people in Guanzhong. Furthermore. Xuanxiang tried to think, if I were defeated in Guanzhong, what would be the consequences?

Li Gang is very clear about this. If the forces of several major economic and strategic pacification divisions are gathered, in case of defeat, it will be tantamount to declaring the fall of Shaanxi. Because you gather all your troops in Guanzhong, after defeating, it will be easy for the Jin army to take over the city.

"According to the meaning of righteousness, Guanzhong must be abandoned. Li Gang asked in a deep voice.

Xu Yuan also sighed: "If Xuanxiang insists on fighting in Guanzhong, I will be ahead of the soldiers, and I will die without regrets!" It's just that if the battle is defeated, the whole Shaanxi will be lost. "It's a bit against the will. In fact, he had already made up his mind, if he didn't listen to the persuasion, he had to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army in the Guanzhong Plain, even if he was guilty of violating the festival, he would resolutely refuse!

After finishing speaking, he went to see Li Gang's reaction, only to see the latter put his hands flat on the armrests of the chair and lowered his head. looked at the ground for a long time, and finally nodded: "I know that since the change of Xuanhe, three generations of your Xu family have galloped on the battlefield to fight for the country, loyal to the sun and the moon, and the world knows, let me think about it."

Xu Yuan stood up and bowed down: "I hope that Prime Minister Xuan will make a decision as soon as possible." After speaking, he walked backwards to the door, and then turned away.

Leaving Li Gang alone in the hall, the more lonely he became. If you retreat to Qinlong. Give up Guanzhong. The world will inevitably shake, and the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not let themselves go, at least they will take the official position and place it somewhere. If you insist on the decisive battle in Guanzhong, you will naturally lose your official position if you lose, but at least there is a glimmer of hope.

For his own sake, of course, he must gather the main force of the Western Army to fight with the Jin Army to the end, and he may be able to win by luck. It's just that if you lose, you won't just lose your position. Even with the six roads of Shaanxi, they also fell into the hands of the Jurchens. Comparison between the two, light and heavy?

Yaoshuai, Fuping.

After Xu Yuan left, Xu Wei commanded 40,000 Shaanxi Huajing Yuan troops and tens of thousands of righteous troops stationed here. The rescue of Yan'an ended in failure, and Duyan fell. The morale of the army was inevitably low, and Xu Wei ordered the commanders at all levels to appease the soldiers. At the beginning of the army's entry into Yaozhou, he had already sent people east into Huazhou. Zhang Qing and other officials who remained behind were secretly ordered to prepare to move westward.

The fall of Yan'an was indeed a big surprise to Xu Wei, as soon as Zhang Shen surrendered, the Shaanxi Hua Road bordering Langyan was suffered, and it was within the range of the Jin army at any time. But at this point, Xu Wei is not worried, with the background of the third uncle in Tokyo, he will have a place to settle anyway.

What he is worried about now is Li Xuanfu. Xu Da has been going to Chang'an for two days, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that he must be going to discuss the strategic direction of after-sales. No matter what Li Xuanfu decides, as long as he doesn't fight with the Jin army in Guanzhong. This time, the elite of the Jin army came out, and Sticky Han Da had either you died, or I was injured, if you fought with the Jurchens in Guanzhong, there was really no chance of winning.

Xianqu Duan will never send troops, and secondly, even his eldest brother Xu Yuan may not follow the orders of the Xuanfu Division. In this way, there are only two troops left in him and the seed division. The terrain is already not in my favor, not to mention that the strength of the troops is so different? Even if it's just what he suddenly does with some unpredictable tricks. Destroying the hundreds of thousands of troops of Muhan will not change a reality.

Over the years, he has often charged into battle. It can be regarded as winning a position of commander and pulling up tens of thousands of troops. But if Li Gang decides to fight a decisive battle in Guanzhong, everything becomes unpredictable. Whether it will be as small as the "Battle of Fuping" in history is anyone's guess.

After the fall of Yan'an, Xu Wei often thought about a question. From crossing to the Great Song Dynasty, just before the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom, he was limited by his family background. He chose the path of "martial artist". Initially. There are no soldiers, no money, no food, and relying on the imperial court to get out of the position, which is a must. Now, there are more than 50,000 horses under his hands. The official also achieved four grades. Prepare for the knots. Regardless of prestige, strength. They have all reached a certain height.

But in this period, the factors that were once very favorable to him, the "court background" also began to restrain him. For example, if he is just a pure general of the Western Army, then the orders of the Xuanfu Division can be listened to if you want to, and disobeyed if you don't want to listen. But there is "a background in Tokyo." He couldn't do that. He was sent by the imperial court, and his backer was Li Gang, so he had to strictly entertain Li Gang's orders. Even if Li Xuanfu decided to fight in Guanzhong this time, he had no choice, even if he knew that it was a dead end, he couldn't disobey.

This made Xu Jiu feel very bad. Especially after Zhang Shen's surrender, this feeling was particularly strong. is also the Western Army, and they also take the food and salary of the imperial court, Qu Duan and others can not take Li Gang seriously, Zhang Shen and his ilk even ignore the so-called national righteousness, and directly surrender and commit treason. Why should I take one step at a time, diligently, and steadfastly?

Did I travel to the Great Song Dynasty to be a loyal minister to the Zhao family? Historically, Yue Fei Yue Wumu was a loyal and upright minister, with outstanding achievements and fame all over the world, but in addition to leaving the words "national hero" in the history textbooks of later generations, he fought for all his life to "smash the Yellow Dragon and welcome back the two saints." "It never came to pass. It seems that later textbooks do not call him a "national hero" just me. "Anti-gold heroes

Of course, if the Zhao Guanjia has the ability and mind of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the generals of the Western Army are all the same as Wei Huo and Li Jing, then I am willing to work with everyone to fight against Jin, and I also admit the set of "monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons". But the problem is, it's not half a bit.

In view of this, Xu Wei has been thinking about where his way out is these days. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the coffee horn, more chapters. Support the author, support genuine reading!
