Chapter 625: Tactical Initiative

Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, the imperial city of Da Nei, the early dynasty.

The official system is imitated in the Great Song Dynasty, and even the dynasty system is generally the same, three days and a small dynasty and five days and a large dynasty, which has become the habitual system of the Western Xia Dynasty, but since the Song army cut down the summer, the war has gradually tightened, and the three days and one small dynasty and the five days of the big dynasty have become the morning dynasty every day.

Not only for six hours during the day, the prime minister, privy envoy and other ministers were always in the palace, and they were also on call at night, and the Song army surrounded the point with superior forces to send reinforcements, surrounded Shunzhou Kezhi, and ambushed 20,000 Western Xia reinforcements with 40,000 horses, which made the already overstretched troops of Western Xia even worse, so that Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun had not slept a peaceful sleep in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, the right wing of the Chaoshun Army Division is the commander of the army Hualachi, and the White Horse Qiangshun Army is the commander of the army Huabul Du led the troops to arrive outside the north gate of the capital yesterday night, and after the city gate is opened this morning, the two generals will enter Beijing to meet them!" Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the Western Xia, the privy council envoy Ning Liduo came out to play.

The Privy Council is in charge of the country's military affairs, and the twelve military divisions of the Western Xia are all under its rule, and it is strictly forbidden to leave the garrison when there is nothing to do.

Hearing this, Li Qianshun was overjoyed, his brows stretched out after a few days, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people did the two of them bring?" ”

The privy envoy Ning Li said: "The two military divisions each bring more than 15,000 permanent troops, and at the same time, they also recruit and transfer more than 15,000 soldiers under the military division, totaling more than 60,000!" ”

"60,000 plus the garrisons stationed in Xingqing, Huaizhou, Jingzhou, and Yongzhou, nearly 110,000 horses, enough to encircle and annihilate the two roads of Huanqing and Jingyuan in the Southern Dynasty!" Li Qianshun nodded, and then asked, "When will the Jianing Military Division, the Zuoxiang Divine Brave Military Division, and the Xiangyou Military Division arrive in Xingqing?" ”

Ning Duoli then reported: "Your Majesty, the Song army went deep into the hinterland of our court, and after receiving the report, the military divisions of all roads rushed back to the capital day and night, according to the soldiers, the Jianing Military Division was still a day and a half away from Xingqing Mansion, and the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing and the Xiangyou Military Division were far away, and it would take three days. ”

"The Fifth Route Army Division plus the defenders near the capital are enough to wipe out all the Song troops who have entered the capital!" At this moment, Li Qianshun was in good spirits, glanced at his ministers, and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, Ning Duoli and Taiwei Longsuo will go out of the palace gate to greet the two of them. ”

The privy envoy and the lieutenant are in charge of the military and a military attache with the highest position, and these two people go to greet the commanders of the two military divisions, this specification is quite high, and they don't even think about it when they are ordinary, but the time is different, this time Li Qianshun, the king of the army, naturally wants to pay attention to it, and let these people work hard for themselves.

"Obey the order!" Ning Duoli and Long Suo said busily.

"Not only the commanders of the two military divisions, but also the deputy commanders and supervising envoys in the two military divisions, as well as the commanders, coaches, and left and right guards!" Feeling that these were not enough to make these people work for themselves, Li Qianshun thought about it and commanded.

Knowing that now was the time to buy people's hearts, Ning Duoli and Longsuo naturally couldn't say much to dissuade them, and hurriedly went out to receive orders.

Nodding, Li Qianshun walked to the huge map, looked at the situation of the enemy on the map, turned his head and said to Ning Duoli after half a ring: "The Song army has just experienced a big battle, and it is bound to rest for a few days.

I decided to wait for these two military divisions to rest outside the city for two days, and then the right wing of Hualachi went down the Hanyuan Canal with the Shun Military Division, attacking the right flank of the Song army, and ordered Hua Buerdu to lead the White Horse Qiangshun Military Division to the south along the Helan Mountain on the west bank of the Tanglai Canal, attacking the left flank of the Song army, and waiting for the Jianing Military Division to rush to Jingzhou to meet the Song army head-on, and then the 100,000 troops will attack on three sides, and the Song army will be defeated! ”

As a privy envoy, Ning Duoli pondered slightly, and said in the foreground: "Your Majesty Shengming, my Great Xia outflanked the Song army occupying Shunzhou with the left, center, and right roads, and the Song army will be defeated, and then turn back to encircle and annihilate the Southern Dynasty's invasion from the east, and the soldiers and horses of Hedong, after the Southern Dynasty has this defeat, I will not dare to peep into my Daxia rivers and mountains for decades!" ”

"I'm just worried about whether Brother Cha can withstand Liu Fa's attack in Zhuo Luo City!" Li Qianshun's eyes became solemn, and he said again: "Liu Fa's courage has made my soldiers fear him like a tiger for more than 20 years, and he dare not wipe his edge. ”

Ning Duoli said: "Your Majesty is more worried, although Liu Fa is in his sixties, he has long lost his sharpness, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin broke Liu Fa in Tong'an, making Liu Fa fall from the mountain and break his feet, which has proved this matter, and it has made Liu Fa's prestige even more ruined, so this Liu Fa will be cautious against His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin has commanded the army for many years, and it can be seen from the battle of Tong'an that the wisdom of the King of Jin is to hold on to the city, and he will not let Liu Fa go half a step further!" ”

At this time, Taiwei Longsuo played: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty's plan to surround Song on three sides is not very feasible!" ”

"What does Aiqing mean?" Hearing Taiwei Longsuo's report, Li Qianshun frowned slightly, and his eyes looked at Longsuo's dissatisfaction.

Taiwei Long Suofeng played: "Our dynasty and the Southern Dynasty have been fighting for a hundred years, since Emperor Jingzong has gradually been on the defensive, and now there are brave people in the Southern Dynasty army to use Liu Fa to plant the way of the teacher......"

"Ai Qingyan said this, what do you mean, you might as well explain it!" Hearing Long Suo's report, Li Qianshun was not very happy.

Hearing the hesitation in Li Qianshun's tone, the Western Xia ministers in the palace were all shocked, and Taiwei Longsuo was also surprised, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that kind of division can dig the Yellow River, and now in order to prevent our army from surrounding, he will definitely dig the water of the Yellow River again, so that the east of the Hanyuan Canal and the Yellow River will flood......"

"Aiqing is too worried!" Li Qianshun was extremely disapprehensive of Taiwei Longsuo's words, and then said: "That kind of division has already dug the Yellow River and flooded Lingzhou, and it is impossible to block the dam mouth again, and now it is October, or the country will be snowy and frozen in a few days, and the Xiangqing army stationed in Xiping Mansion (Lingzhou) will get out and form a situation of encirclement on all sides of the Song people. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Hearing Li Qianshun say this, the Western Xia monarchs and ministers in the palace were busy with the people and said.

Apparently Lonso was unwilling, and then said: "Your Majesty ......"

Seeing what Long Suo was going to say next, Li Qianshun waved his hand to stop his mouth, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is really too worried......

……

"Today in the court, Lord Taiwei, you are too worried......" In the middle of the night, several ministers who were discussing matters in the palace dispersed, and went out of the palace gate to watch several adults get on the sedan chair and say goodbye.

The two have been friends for many years, and they are close friends and even close friends, so naturally they have nothing to say.

Long Suo shook his head: "It's not that I'm worried, but the Song people have to guard against it!" ”

Ruhel said: "Your Majesty has also said, and the weather in my summer has always been like this, every year in October, there will be snowfall, and the canals will also be frozen, that is, the Song army came up with the means to dig the river, and it is useless in this cold weather, as long as it is frozen, my Xia army can ride like covering the ground, and the winter of the past few years is getting colder and colder year by year!" ”

"Your Majesty is gambling, if the Song people really dig the Yellow River again, they can really stop the upcoming offensive of my Great Xia, and the Song army still has firearms in their hands, even if my Great Xia is in an advantage of twice the strength of the other party, it may not take much advantage." Lonso said worriedly.

After a slight pause, Longso continued: "Although the weather has been colder than in previous years, it may not be normal cold, if this year's winter is warmer than in previous years, this will be a disaster for my summer; Even if the weather is very cold, this is also a great loss for my Great Xia, this time the Song army entered the Kou, my Great Xia people suffered a great loss, if there is a severe cold season again, I don't want to restore the national strength for more than ten years......"

After Longsuo said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and persuaded: "As a general, everything must be considered, but it is another thing whether the heavenly family can listen to it or not!" ”

For Ruhel's consolation, Long Suo obviously didn't listen, his face was solemn, and he arched his hand towards the Western Xia royal family: "As soon as possible, this official will also make a suggestion to Your Majesty!" ”

With that, Long Suo got into his palanquin and said goodbye to Ruhel and left for his house.

"Alas......" Seeing that Longsuo couldn't listen to the persuasion, Ruhel shook his head, and only looked at the back of the sedan chair of Sauron after a long time before saying: "Your Majesty can't listen to the persuasion, how can you listen to it......"

……

Later generations have historians studied, saying that the five chaotic Hua, the Jin extinguished the Liao and Song dynasties, Li Chuang destroyed the Ming and the Qing people entered the customs, these three periods were the Xiaoice River period, could not bear the severe cold in the north, so the nomads invaded the south, although I don't know whether this argument is unfounded, but whenever the history of the book is always mentioned.

……

"Your Majesty, the two elders of the privy envoy Ning Liduo and Taiwei Longsuo, led the right wing of the Chaoshun Army Division to unify the army Hualachi, and the White Horse Qiangshun Military Division to unify the army and the ......"

The little eunuch guarding the gate of the forbidden palace in the Western Xia Dynasty came in and played.

"Xuan!" Li Qianshun nodded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Just as Li Qianshun's words fell, a small eunuch climbed into the hall.

Seeing the appearance of this little eunuch, a bad feeling immediately arose in the hearts of the civil and military officers.

Li Qianshun was also surprised in his heart, so he snorted coldly and unhappily: "Why are you so flustered? ”

The little eunuch didn't care about pleading, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the scouts in front have reported that the Song army has dug a levee east of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River has irrigated the area between the Hanyuan Canal and the Yellow River, and the momentum of the flood is flowing in the direction of Shunzhou......

"What?" Li Qianshun was shocked, but he didn't expect that the Song army really dug the Yellow River as Long Suo said.

The little eunuch then said: "Your Majesty, the Song army not only dug the Yellow River, but also dug the Tanglai Canal, and diverted the water of the Tanglai Canal to the west......

A group of civil and military officials were also shocked at this time, but they didn't expect that the Song people not only thought of the strategy of the Xia army's three-way army to encircle them, but also took the lead and won the tactical initiative against Xia again.
