This place, which could have been called the grave of the Western Army in history, has now gathered a large army. Although it is not as large as the Song army at the time of the "Battle of Fuping" in history, in the Shaanxi Zhulu at this time, except for the seed army and the Xu army in Shaanxi, there is no one who can compare with the troops.

After Li Gang's Xuanfu Division ordered the assembly of troops, the commanders of all walks of life were perfunctory and cobbled together nearly 50,000 horse infantry troops in Yaozhou, in fact, this is only the Xuanfu Division's statement to the outside world, and the real strength is only more than 36,000 people. Later, he took the opportunity of the Xuanfu Division's decision to recruit displaced people to enrich the army. More than 20,000 brave people were recruited, and they were all given equipment and intensified training. Qu Duan stationed the two divisions of life-saving troops between Fuping County and Meiyuan County. After the Jin army fell into the river, his subordinate generals Zhang Zhonghu and Zhang Zhongyan brothers led the army to surrender, and their strength was quickly enhanced.

On this day, a horse team came from the direction of Chang'an City and rushed to the company camp set up at Quduan and stopped. These men saw that the tent stretched for miles. The soldiers stepped up their training under the command of the officer, and the sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the four fields, and their hearts were a little calmer. Although Qu Duan's personality is poor, he has real skills under his hands. I hope that this army led by him can keep Jingzhao.

"Lord Wang, the big tent of the Chinese army at Quduan is still ahead." An adjutant said to Wang Shu, the judge of Shaanxi Xuanfu. The latter glanced at the troops who were training. Only then did he urge his mount to run forward.

The Chinese army tent at the curved end was heavily guarded, heavily armed, and the soldiers with swords and guns were held high and motionless. Wang Shu and the others were still far away when they were asked to dismount and go to the Zhongjun tent on foot, even if they showed the identity of the officials of the Xuanfu Division, they could not be accommodating. The adjutants were dissatisfied, but Wang Shu suppressed it. This is a good thing to govern the military industry, and now the survival of Chang'an City is on Quduan, so what does it matter if you take a few steps?

When he stopped his entourage and entered the tent of the Chinese army alone. There is only one person in the current account. Sitting high in a handsome position, dressed in military uniform, his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword. A pair of eyes that were already sunken scanned at everyone who entered the tent.

"Qu Dutong." Wang Shu arched his hand and called.

Qu Duan glanced at him and returned the salute with a fist. But he didn't get up: "I've seen Judge Wang." ”

"I came on the orders of the Prime Minister Xuanfu with two military orders." Wang Shu said again. Qu Duan got up and got out of the tent at this time, and asked without stopping: "I don't know what the two ministers have?" ”

Wang Shu took out Li Gang and He Guan's handwritten orders from his arms and handed them over, Qu Duan took his hand, walked straight to the side and sat down, and beckoned: "Wang Ju, please sit." "Finished speaking. Zhan looked at the orders of the two commanders. Li Gang's order was nothing more than saying that the situation of the war had deteriorated, and Jing Zhao could not afford to make mistakes, and asked his troops to be sure to stop the Jin army. And He Guan's letter is obviously more practical. In addition to making demands, he also promised that as long as he won. The two divisions will give the greatest reward within their authority.

Qu Duan finished reading it, put the letter aside, and asked Wang Shu, "Where are the Taiwei and the Xu family brothers now?" ”

"Retreated into Dingrong." Wang Jian replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Qu Duan showed a sneer on his face: "Presumably, the two chiefs have already understood it at this moment. Who is the one who violates the yang and the yin, and only wants to protect himself. Who is the one who is loyal to the affairs of the state and thinks about it. ”

Wang Shu's face was not very natural, before, Xuanfu Si was obedient to the Xu family brothers. I want money and food for money and food, and I want equipment for equipment, but now I ......

Coughing dryly, he arched his hand and said: "When this official came, Xuanfu Xianggong once said that the wind knows the strength of the grass. Bandang knows Chengchen. Qu Dutong really deserves this statement. ”

Qu Duan heard the words, laughed but did not speak. Wang Shu saw this. Thinking about his mission here, he asked: "The two ministers are particularly concerned about Yaozhou now, if this place is lost, Chang'an will be in danger." I don't know what Qu Dutong's plans are? ”

"I don't have the idea of entering the army for the time being." Qu Duan replied directly.

Wang Shu frowned, I picked up all the words before, if Yaozhou is lost, Chang'an will be in danger, but you have no plans to enter the army? Then he asked, "Is there a shortage of food in the capital?" ”

Qu Duan shook his head, and Wang Shu asked again: "But there is a lack of salary?" Qu Duan shook his head again, and Wang Shu was a little unhappy: "Since there is no shortage of food and salary, and the armament is also complete, then why don't all the commanders enter the army?" ”

Standing up and sighing, Qu Duan said in a helpless tone: "The money, food, and armament are still neat, but the king probably knows that my troops here are pieced together from various commanders. Although they are all gathered under the banner of my Qu, it is difficult to ensure that they work together. The Jurchens are menacing, and if they take this army with their own ghosts to meet the battle, isn't it self-defeating? ”

This is also true, the main forces under Qu Duan's command are all troops sent by various marshals, and it is indeed difficult to unify the command. Wang Shu was silent for a while and said: "But the Jin people are approaching Jingzhao, and the capital is Chen Bing Fuping, so there must be something to do." ”

Qu Duan sat down opposite him at this time, looked out, and asked: "This person who has led troops since ancient times. It's all about morale. If you want high morale and soldiers to die, it is nothing more than four words, and the rewards and punishments are clear. Now, these troops have gathered in Fuping from all over the country, and they are all coming with resentment, trying to appease and motivate them, and I am afraid that a few empty words of humble office can be effective. ”

Wang Shu only understood at this time, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and now the two commanders in Chang'an City want these horses to block the Jin army, so they must have something to say. And this means that it is not enough to have enough money and food and ordnance. But he is just a judge of the Xuanfu Division, and he has no right to adjudicate, and Li Xuanfu needs to be the master of this matter. Thinking of this, he said bluntly: "The meaning of the capital is understood. It's just that the military situation is urgent, is it an advanced soldier? This official will convey it to the Minister Xuanfu. ”

Qu Duan was expressionless, and looked directly at him for a long time. finally nodded and said: "Well, I will remember the experience of Xuan Xiang and He Shaobao on the promotion of lowly duties."

I am considerate of the difficulties of the above, and I ask the chief to be considerate of my difficulties. ”

Wang Shu was overjoyed, got up and said with a smile: "Sincerely! Jingzhao must be foolproof! ”

"How can you guarantee this? The opponent is not a party member. Qu Duan said lightly, and poured the happy Wang Shu like a basin of cold water.

The smile on his face condensed, and Wang Shu said: "In the past, although the Jurchens were numerous, they should not be afraid. What's more, the two divisions have already strictly ordered Huanqing to be handsome. Qin Fengshuai Zhao point, come to help, our army will be able to play Kai! ”

"I hope so." Qu Duan chuckled.

After Wang Shu returned to Jingzhao, he gave a detailed account of the meeting with Qu Duan. Li Gang was very unhappy. thinks that Qu Duan is clearly blackmailing the two divisions. He was determined that Jing Zhao could only rely on him now, so he took the opportunity to ask for a reward. Xu Wei made a request to me, because he and Ma Kuo proposed to me to use the strategy of the Hedong Righteous Army first, and as a result, he came from Sichuan. Stir up this trouble. Xu Jiu must be dissatisfied in his heart. In addition, his father was also very aggressive, and the court strictly ordered him to regain his affection. In this case, it is excusable to make a request, and the request of others is to ensure that the battle situation is smooth.

He Guan didn't think so, after all, he was also a military minister, and he could understand Qu Duan's difficulties. He persuaded Li Gang that Qu Duan wanted to convince the public, but there were only four words, both grace and power. Qushi Yin Zhijun was originally strict, and the power was there, what about it? If the two divisions don't promote the generals under his command, how can these people know that following Qu Duan is also a trick?

Li Gang finally nodded, and at He Guan's suggestion, he was promoted to the envoy of the security army, and his subordinates such as the Zhang family brothers, Kang Sui, and Zhao Bin also had their own rewards. Just after the commendation order of the Xuanfu Division was issued, Qu Duan immediately set up troops to the north to block Yelu Ma Wu. However. Before he came out of Fuping, the vanguard of Yelu Ma Wu arrived.

At this time, Qu Duan commanded more than 30,000 soldiers who could fight, and he knew that his troops were at a disadvantage, and the Fuping area was a smooth road. Although there was a river and a reed swamp as a barrier, he did not think it was enough insurance. It was decided to retreat to the south. At the same time, he deliberately showed weakness to the Jin army.

I don't know if this tactic can deceive Yelu Mawu, but it must have deceived his striker. Ma Wu marched all the way, evacuated and drank 3,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, and the attackers were all broken, Liu Guangshi turned around and left as soon as he saw him a few days ago. Abandon the foot state. Therefore, as soon as he saw Qu Duan's "hasty" retreat south, he set up an army to chase after him.

Qu Duan ambushed the soldiers in the reeds, paved with soil bags, and the golden horses were outdated, and a thousand arrows were together. Evacuated and drank suddenly under attack. The first reaction is not panic, but anger. How dare the Western Army ambush me? Perhaps it was a series of victories that overwhelmed the Jurchen general's mind, and he actually ordered to charge the reeds. And his reason was that since the Western Army could ambush so many archers here, how could our horse army not go?

This time, the horse foot is stuck in the quagmire, and there is no way to advance or retreat. The Song army borrowed reeds to cover up and fired arrows. The soldiers of the Jin Army clearly saw where the enemy was firing the hidden arrows, but they could not attack. Fortunately, the evacuator drank not completely lost his mind, and when he saw this scene, he quickly ordered a retreat. Even so, more than 500 horses were folded, making people ambushed.

Then Jerematwu, who arrived later, learned of the news. The villagers of Yaozhou inquired and knew that a western army was stationed here, and the general of the main army was a person named Qu Duan. Ma Wu had some impressions of this name, a few days ago, the Western Army invaded Hedong on three roads. Once hit Taiyuan and defeated Li Zhi's troops one after another. Among them, this end of the curve is the most fierce and ruthless. It seems that this person is quite strategic and cannot be seen.

The main force of Shiquduan had retreated to the Zhongshan area of Yaozhou. This? It can be said to be the last barrier to Jingzhao, if it is lost, the Jin army can drive directly to the city of Chang'an, set up a robe and bombard. And at this time in Chang'an City, except for the closed city gates, I am afraid that nothing can stop the Jurchens.

Quduan's intention was to borrow this mountainous area. Limit the advantage of the cavalry of the Jin Army, and at the same time maximize the advantage of the mountain infantry of the Western Army. Ma Wu, who was following behind, did not rush to engage his opponent. This famous Khitan general first used a ranger to reconnoiter the terrain. Although the mountains here are not high, the bad ones are clustered around the main peaks of Zhongshan on the top of small hills, forming a mountainous area. Large-scale cavalry troops are not easy to deploy, and it is difficult to attack with the might of the horse army, and to fight the Song army with infantry, you have to be mentally prepared, and the opponent's sophisticated equipment will give you heavy damage. What's more, in front of him is the strongest unit of the Southern Dynasties, the Western Army.

Ma Wu made a decision to rely on his superior forces to gradually encircle the Zhongshan area where Quduan's department was entrenched. He was in no hurry to eliminate Quduan. After subjugating several prefectures in Shaanxi, the Jin army received a large number of supplies and had no logistical concerns for the time being. Moreover, the commander Wei Su also led the main force of the Jin army to fight in the area of Tongzhou, and it is believed that he will soon be able to sweep the east of Jingzhao and reach the city. At that time, there was no way to retreat from the Qu Duan in front of him, whether it was an attack or a surrender, it was up to me to have the final say.

At this time, the Jin army besieged Jingzhao's troops on two sides. The commissioner let the breeder and the Xu brothers contain Dingrong, and Ma Wu let Quduan contain Yaozhou. Under such circumstances, if the Shaanxi Sixth Route can have a unified command, it will mobilize heavy troops to attack it. It's hard to say whether the Jin army can be annihilated, but it is completely possible to drive the concubine out of Shaanxi!

It's a pity that Huanqing Road passed through Ge to pacify the king, after receiving several strict orders from Li Gang and He Guan. Refuse to fight. The reason is that Langyan is almost finished, and it is obvious that my Huanqing Road is the next target of the Jin army. Clarify the situation in the two divisions. After severely reprimanding him, he led the army forward. Before setting out for the expedition, this marshal did not swear an oath, but complained. How old is the curly end? Why does he rule everything? Why should I listen to him?

In early February, after Dingrong had been confronted with the Western Army for many days, Concubine Su had already connected Shaanxi with Hedong and Shaanxi with Henan after taking control of Hezhong Province and taking Shaanzhou. If you attack Dingrong, firstly, there are two strong enemies of the Xujia Army, and secondly, Dingrong is located on the south bank of Weishui, with Taihua Mountain and Shaohua Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this time, he received a report from Ma Wu's march to Jingzhao, and he wanted to respond with his army, but Dingrong stared at him with several soldiers and horses. Wei Su was worried that if the Xu family army of the planting family army attacked fiercely when he returned to Weishui, and the two armies were so close, Weishui would become his burial place.

At this point, he understood. Why did Seed Master Zhong and Xu Yuan not deploy defenses along Weishui at all, but easily let him enter Dingrong.

Its purpose is simply to contain the main force of his Jin army here, and there is no other way to go except to fight to the death.

Dingrong is really a place where heroes come in! And the only one left among the breeders as a breeder will be fruitful. It really deserves its name, giving up a same state, and leading the poison to the only dead end in the Guanzhong Plain!

Just when the committee was in a dilemma, an unusual news came from He Zhongfu. The general of the Jin army guarding the Pujin pontoon bridge reported that it had been coming for two days. There are small groups of people from unknown sources peeking into the river defense. This news surprised the high-level generals of the Jin Army and did not peep at the Pujin River defense, which was clearly the people of Hedong! Who's coming? Don't be the Purple Gold Tiger Xu Wei, right? The army went south, leaving the Wanyan silver technique that besieged Taiyuan at the beginning to trap Pingyang with the "city lock method". Therefore, it was impossible for the Song army in Binh Duong to get out of it. And it is said that Xu Wei is in Zhaode, if he goes out of Huguan and goes west through Zezhou, it is indeed possible to appear in Hezhongfu. But according to Li Zhi, Xu Wei did not bring many soldiers and horses into Hedong, and he dared to come to the aid of a lone division when Pingyang was still under siege?
