Xiazhou, our army is determined to win! Our chief knows that most of the soldiers and civilians in this city are party members, and the origin of this campaign is because of the Khitan! Although it is inevitable to suffer casualties in the battle, our army does not want to rely on this senseless killing. As long as you are willing to surrender the city and surrender, our army promises not to kill! This article is valid within today's rì, but if there is no response today, tomorrow morning, the army will detain the city, and there will be no mercy!?

The officer's words were so great that he simply ignored the tens of thousands of troops in the city as if they were nothing! But when such a big word came out, none of the generals in the city spoke out, including Xiao Heda. Xiao Heda was originally a Liao minister, and he sent the princess to marry Western Xia and was left in the Xia realm, and he was the commander of the army in Xiazhou. Therefore, most of the soldiers under his command are party members. The party members have already experienced the pain of losing the country, and now they are stubborn and stubborn, and they have long had no reason to defend their homes and the country, but they are just forced to make a living.

They have already seen the methods of the Western Army, and they do not have much hope for holding Xiazhou. As soon as the envoy of the Song army passed the words, he didn't dare to say that he was tempted, but he was sure to be shaken.

Xiao Heda is also a veteran of the battlefield, and now he can't hear the sound outside the strings? The Song army's persuasion to surrender is fake, shaking the morale of the army is true! If you don't get back into this game, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defend the city! As soon as he thought of this, he said loudly in the city: "You go back and tell Xu Wujingluo, and Xu Shaoshuai of Jingyuan!" Xia, Shi, and Yinzhou were indeed lent to me by Xu Xuanfu at the beginning! I, Xiao Heda, have never been convinced in my life, but I am respectful to Xu Xuan's husband!?

But, let me ask, where is Xu Xuanfu now? I heard that Hu Shuai has long been calculated by your court, losing his knighthood, losing his official, and losing his military power! I'm afraid that even my life will be lost! This land was lent to me by Xu Xuanfu, and if I want to ask for it, I should ask for it! Your two chiefs, although one is Xu Xuanfu's brother and the other is Xu Xuanfu's nephew, I'm afraid they can't make decisions for him, right? ?

When he said this, the three Song Army officers below were speechless. And the Liao soldiers in the city were completely attracted.

Seeing this, Xiao Heda regained his courage and continued to say loudly: "Let's talk about this provocation again." Over the past two years, there have indeed been frequent frictions between your and Chinese armies on the border. But if you really want to take the lead in right and wrong, I'm just afraid that Da Song won't be able to hang on his face! I won't mention the distant maritime alliance, just say that Xu Xuanfu has been several times and promoted the alliance between Song and Liao, but what is the result? Da Song once again did not believe his words and betrayed the alliance! This is called turning the face without grace, it is the act of a villain! Now, you still have the face to make a big deal and beg for land??

You have a lot of generals in the western army, and your equipment is good, and my Xiazhou City is also impregnable! If you can fight, you don't need to fight, you wait for gossip to talk, it's important to go back and prepare for war! In addition, I would like to advise the brothers of the Western Army, Xu Xuanfu is gone, what kind of war are you still fighting? Characters like him have all ended up like this, let alone waiting? It's my big Liao, now the soldiers are strong and strong, and the country is strong! I, the Empress Dowager Xiao and the young master, are determined to restore the country, and sooner or later I will return to the eastern land! On this occasion of employing people, if you can't stay in Shaanxi, just come and vote! I am diligent in cultivating cultural relics, and I am not different from China, and I will wait for them together! Xiao Mou's words are all here, where to go, Brother Wangxijun thinks about it himself!?

The voice fell, and his subordinates cheered first! As soon as the officer took the lead, the guards in the city cheered thunderously!

When the three envoys of the Song army saw it, there was no need to say any more, and they didn't say hello, they turned around and ran towards the camp, and behind them, the Liao army's cries became louder and louder!

Not to mention the tension under the city of Xiazhou, the Song and Liao wars, as the commander of the Liao army in the Xia realm, Xiao Duolu is not doing anything?

In fact, when Xu Hong's Yan army advanced to Shizhou, Xiao Duolu had already received the news. Once he learned that the Western Army was attacking, this Chief Manager Xiao was so angry that he scolded in front of a group of civil and military personnel! scolded the Great Song Dynasty for having no faithfulness, scolded Zhao Guan's family for being blind, and scolded the Great Song Dynasty for being a bunch of waste! But on the same day, he received the news that the Western Army Linfu pacified the Division, captured the Jinsu army, and was advancing the Heqing army!

Xiao Duolu is not angry, but it is not entirely because of the above reasons. More importantly, he also understood in his heart that the Song Liao soldiers met each other, which also showed that the dream of the Khitan people to restore the country was even more distant.

The Great Liao Imperial Court in the Western Regions decided to return to the east, and the key figure was Xu Wei, and the main reason was? Song-Liao Alliance?. No matter how strong the Jurchens are, you can't beat four hands with two fists, and I can't beat you with two? But now, the Song-Liao alliance has not only broken down, but the two sides have even come to the point of a big fight! If it comes, Da Liao will not only have no allies, but one more enemy! Is this really called? One trade-off?!

What's even more terrifying is that the extra enemy is very likely to stand with another enemy! Originally, we teamed up with Da Song to fight the Jurchens, but now it may become that he and the two of them join forces to fight me! In this case, not to mention the return to the country, it is unknown whether you can stay in the summer realm or not!

Do you think, how can Xiao Duolu not be heartbroken? To be honest, Mr. Xiao doesn't want to get the situation to this point! But Da Song did go too far, too absolutely, too unsparing! Now, it's too late to say anything, and before reporting to the Liao court to ask for guilt, how to resolve the danger in front of you is the key.

Xu Hong and Xu Cheng's two uncles and nephews joined forces to attack Xiao Heda, and with Xiao Heda's troops, they were absolutely unable to resist. If he doesn't save it, Xiao Heda will be finished. But if you go to the rescue, the Western Army dispatches two commanders' troops, and the Liao Army must press the main forces of the southern front, otherwise there is no certainty of victory! But even if all the troops on the southern front were committed, they might not be able to defeat the uncle and nephew. At that time, once the southern front does not see the result for a long time, and the Jurchens in the east take advantage of the situation to cross the river, fighting on both sides, and there will be more than luck! The consequence may be that the Liao army withdraws from the Xia Realm, or even withdraws from the Hexi Corridor and returns to the Western Regions.

If you come, don't talk about recovering the country anymore. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers, but if you have a choice, it is not a last resort, and you must not do it.

Xingyuan Mansion, Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Division.

As soon as the war began, the government office of the highest organ of power in Sichuan and Shaanxi was extremely lively, and from morning to night, officials of all sizes came in and out, reporting the state of the war, taking approvals, and asking for instructions.

As soon as Liu Guangshi took office, he just thought about merging the army, and did not have his own ruling team, so at this time, he had to borrow Xu Wei's old team, and many affairs had to be done by Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo and others. And he himself has no spare time to deal with these tedious affairs, he only cares about one thing, that is, how the battle will be won.

The Jingyuan army defeated the Liao army blocking force at the three forks, and when the good news came, Liu Xuanfu was very happy and immediately reported the victory to the imperial court. Yan Yanjun took Yinzhou, he was even happier, it was better to be happy alone than to be happy, and he stabbed Jiangnan with another good news. So far, the Western Army is progressing smoothly, and it seems that it is not a problem to destroy Xiao Heda.

The sound of the hooves was still far away when he heard it, and in a moment it was in front of him, and he stopped in front of the door at a gallop, and the knight on horseback jumped down, not caring about sweating profusely, took off the silver medal on his back and held it with both hands, and shouted as he walked: "Front-line military newspaper!?

The guards at the entrance of the yamen stepped forward to take it, turned around and ran inside, all the way to the main supervisor Yi Wu Gong.

Wu Jiyi, the front-line military report arrived!?

Wu Gong took it, nodded, and the guards went by themselves. took off the silver medal, opened the bag, and took out the military newspaper to take a look, only a few short sentences. The two divisions of Yan Yanjing Yuan have already joined forces in Xiazhou, and they are in a hurry to detain the city, thinking about the capture of the army to encircle Wei, and begging Xuanfu to send Qin Feng's army to the north.

Wu Gong looked at it, and the general newspaper was in his hand and thought for a long time, folded it up and put it in his sleeve, went out of the room, and went straight to the military Zhang Qing. Show it to the military report and ask about the disposal.

Zhang San held the military uniform in one hand and tapped slowly and rhythmically on the desk with the other, and after a while, he handed over the military report and returned Wu Gong and shook his head in one direction. The latter understood, and immediately went back to the general to report and came to Liu Guangshi's signing room.

Xuanfu Xianggong, there is a military newspaper from the front line. Wu Gong stood at the door and reported.

Liu Guangshi raised his head and said, "Come in."

Wu Gong just entered, and the general's newspaper was placed on his desk, waiting for instructions next to him. Seeing this, Liu Guangshi waved his hand, and Wu Gong immediately withdrew. As soon as he left, Taiwei Liu couldn't wait to take it apart and take a look. When he saw the siege and attack of the two armies of Yan Yanjingyuan, his face was happy, and when he saw that Qin Feng's army was sent north to assist in the defense of Jingyuan, he frowned slightly. After reading it, the general put it back on the table, sat down for a moment, and then got up and paced, sometimes bowing his head, looking up inside, and pondering for a long time.

Although Wang Yan has tens of thousands of horses, most of the people in charge of the Western Army are still Xu Wei's old troops. The two who are now on the expedition, one is Xu Wei's cousin, and the other is Xu Wei's nephew. If he wins this time, he will naturally take the greatest credit, but the Xu family's uncles and nephews will be more and more difficult to clean up.

On the grounds of abolishing Huanqing and directly under the Xuanfu Division, he annexed Wang Yan's department, which is still a famous division. But the remaining few are all appeased by the Division, and they can't move easily. And those handsomes are all famous on the anti-gold battlefield, and they are all in the same breath with each other, and they move their whole bodies.

But if it is Qin Fengjun, who does not send Zhang Xian, in case the Liao army really does not save Xiao Heda, it will instead besiege Wei to save Zhao and attack Jingyuan. At this time, Xu Cheng was on the front line with the main force of Jingyuan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the full force of the Liao army. At that time, not only was it dangerous, but the retreat of the two armies was also cut off. In this way, it consumes the strength of the Xu family, but it can't be said in theory. This is not just about not saving you from death, but also about being held accountable. Moreover, the hand of the fake Liao rejects dissidents, and it is not easy to lead the team after it is passed out. It's a dilemma.

Thinking about it left and right, he didn't know the essentials, and after Liu Guangshi returned to his seat, he was about to sit down, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind! He couldn't help but slap his palm, hurried out, went to the door, and called: "Ascend to the hall, discuss the matter."

In the Xuanfu Division, since the Xuanfu envoy and below, the staff have all arrived, and there is no shortage of one. Liu Guangshi did not beat around the bush, and directly explained the reason and asked for opinions.

Naturally, troops will be dispatched, and if Jingyuan is lost, the war situation may collapse. Moreover, Qin Feng's army was also assembled as a preparation for Jingyuan. Zhang Qing didn't have a single superfluous word.

This is a matter of course, so why should the minister ask me to wait?

Liu Guangshi listened, looked around at the officials, and asked: "It's all this opinion??"

Seeing this, he nodded and said: "I mean, the same is true, we must always ensure that the rear is safe, so that the front-line soldiers can fight with peace of mind." Let's decide. Wu Jiyi, you immediately draft a transcript in the name of this department, ask the imperial court for instructions, and hope that the imperial court will approve it as soon as possible.

Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo, Wu Gong and others looked sideways when they heard it! Do? Please ask the court? This Jingyuan is waiting for Qin Fengjun to go north to assist in defense, you are going to ask the imperial court? This back and forth, let alone a month! A month, what is the concept during the war? It can completely change the tide of battle! Victory and defeat left and right!

I was shocked when I first heard it, but in an instant, everyone figured out Liu Guangshi's intentions. This is an excuse for procrastination! yùPut the two armies of Jingyuan and Yan in danger! It's clear, I just want to fake the hands of the Liao army and exclude dissidents! The meanness and clumsiness of the means are despicable!

Ma Kuo immediately made a difficulty: Liu Xuanfu, what does this mean?

Liu Guangshi pretended not to understand, frowned and said, "Staff Officer Ma, what do you mean by this?"

The battle plan has been submitted to the imperial court for approval, at this critical juncture, what else can I ask? Did Xiang Gong put the troops of the two divisions in danger? Ma Kuo unceremoniously debunked.

Liu Guangshi's face pulled: Staff officers should speak clearly. I am the commander of the Western Army, how can I do such a thing? The battle plan was approved by the imperial court. But I mobilized Qin Feng's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, don't you need the nod of the imperial court? This can only be done when Xu Xuanfu is in office, but I can't do it! One means that he does not have the power to dispose of it like Xu Wei, and the other means that he is not as arbitrary and arbitrary as Xu Wei.

Ma Kuo suddenly became angry, and sneered: "I have been in the army for many years, and I have only heard that the adjustment of the strategy should be reported to the imperial court, and I have never seen the time when 100,000 people are in an emergency, and the imperial court must first ask for the opinion of the imperial court when the troops are transferred for rescue. Xuanfu Xianggong wants to set this precedent??

Liu Guangshi also returned? I have also been in the army for many years, and I am deeply aware of the shortcomings of the Western Army. Wu Chen, holding the handle of the army, should know that there is a court!?

When Zhang Qing heard this, he interjected: "Xuanfu Xianggong only knows that there is a court, but does not know the life and death of tens of thousands of brothers? So, how to lead troops??

?Ha ha.? Liu Guangshi laughed.? Senator Zhang, I was born in a general's family, and before I served in the army before I was weak, I don't need you to teach me how to lead the army, right? Besides, the two divisions of Yan Yanjing Yuan dispatched nearly 100,000 horses and horses, including the regular army, the soldiers, the archers, and the village braves, and the soldiers were full of food and sharp equipment, so how could they be vulnerable? The troops of these two divisions, but the predecessor Xu Xuanfu focused on cultivating, is it not? ?

Ma Kuan stood up, and said with his fingers: Liu Xuanfu, Tian rì Zhaozhao!?

Liu Guangshi's face did not change: I asked myself if I was worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the court, Zichong didn't have to use this to suppress it.

?Hum! After Ma Kuo finished saying this, he sat down without looking at the other party.

Liu Guangshi didn't let go: "Tell me, how do you know the law?"

Ma Kuo's mouth moved, and before the words came out, Zhang Qing had already rushed to say: "Stop, Xuanfu Xianggong is insisting on this??

This is a military law, and it cannot be cheapened! Liu Guangshi said with a resolute attitude.

In this way, we have nothing to say, but we will listen to the verdict of the prime minister. If the two armies are lost, or if Jingyuan is attacked, this responsibility is ??? Zhang Qing said expressionlessly.

You don't need to be reminded, I'm the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Liu Guangshi said.

The meeting broke up unhappily, Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo, Wu Gong and others all felt that the situation was serious, Liu Guangshi actually did it to such a point, thinking of the fact that before he asked the imperial court to protect the son of Xihe Yao Bilong into the Xuanfu Division, he was divided. Reforming? The heart of the Western Army is clearly revealed! But the hand of the false enemy excludes dissidents, and the means are really unbearable!

That night, they met at Zhang Qing's mansion to discuss countermeasures. I didn't have time to eat wine and food, so I was in a side room and discussed urgently.

Ma Kuo seemed very excited, and spat and said: Liu Guangshi has no overall situation, and he is determined to join the army! This kind of person commands the Western Army, and sooner or later he will defeat his family! He flattered the Xihe Yao clan because he wanted to win over Yao Pingzhong and change the Western Army! Daring! How bold are you!?

Zhang Qing saw him jumping like thunder, and sighed: "He can have such courage, isn't it because there are people in the court?" It seems that in the eyes of the imperial court, external troubles are not as good as those of us??

Although Wu Gong is a junior, it is related to the Western Army, so he has to remind the two seniors: "You have to make an idea about this matter as soon as possible, and it will change later." The younger generation has a superficial opinion.?

Zhang Ma and the others looked over and motioned him to say directly, Wu Gong saw this and said: "Can you inform Qin Feng and Zhang Jingluo in private, if Jing Yuan changes, he can react quickly."

Wu Da, it's okay to be informed, and it's okay to let him prepare early. But at that time, without the order of the Xuanfu Division, if Zhang Zongben mobilized the army without authorization, do you know what kind of sin this is?

Wu Gong didn't answer, who doesn't know, this is the sin of killing the head!

?So! Liu Guangshi is accurate at this point, and he talks about the rules! This time and again, a month, when the battle situation is, the ghost will know! Who are the people in the court now, everyone is not unclear, if they delay it again?? I'll him!?" Ma Kuo said at the end, and burst into foul language.

This matter, you have to report to shè Hong quickly.? Zhang Qingdao.? However, he is not in a good situation right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Brother Zichong, how likely do you think it is that the Liao army will attack Jingyuan? ?

If it were me, I would do it. Horse expands the tooth canal.

If this is the case, can the two Xu Jingluo retreat with their whole body?? Zhang Qing asked again.

Then it is difficult to say, the Liao army moved quickly, the Ma army was huge, and once Jingyuan was attacked, the front-line troops were bound to waver. When the time comes, retreat in a hurry, so that the enemy has a chance to take advantage of it?? It's hard to say.? Ma Kuozhi shook his head.

Zhang Qing thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think there's any need to be too nervous. The two commanders on the front line have a good idea of the depth of this pool of water. Besides, isn't Commander Liu still ahead? They should know to be prepared for both. We can't help for the time being, so we can only report the situation to the lieutenant first. Damn, as soon as I say the word Taiwei, I feel awkward! These days, everything has become a captain!?
