The predecessor of Xiazhou Dingyan Army Festival Envoy is Xia Sui Jie Envoy, governing Xiazhou, the state has You, Yin, Sui three states, these four states are in the Wuding River Basin, Wuding River, "poor Wuding River side bones, still a spring boudoir dream people" is also, its final flow into the Yellow River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Li Congjing ordered Li Shaocheng to serve as the envoy of the Shuofang Army, Qingzhou, Ningzhou, and Pizhou, which originally belonged to the Jingnan Army, were also placed under the jurisdiction of the Shuofang Army to enhance the strength of the Shuofang Army.

Xiazhou and Lingzhou are all in the Yellow River, from the two to the north, it is the two states of Feng and Sheng, that is, the area of the Hetao Plain in later generations, and the famous three surrender cities. Between the two states of Xia and Ling and the two states of Feng and Sheng, there are many deserts, which belong to the scope of the Loess Plateau in later generations.

There are Taihang Mountain in the east, Yin Mountain in the north, Wolf Mountain in the northwest, Helan Mountain in the west, mixed with plateaus and deserts, which is the topography here.

"It is a conventional and orthodox strategy for the Dingyan army to attack our Shuofang army in the west, enter the customs through Yanzhou, and support the army to advance westward. Lingzhou's customs defense distribution and troop allocation, is to defend the west but not the east, if the Dingyan army marches like this, in addition to the Yanzhou border pass, it can go directly to the city of Lingzhou. Once the Lingzhou passage is opened, it will be much easier for the Dingyan army to move west to Hexi. ”

In the Lingzhou Festival Embassy Mansion, Li Shaocheng was discussing with the generals, standing in front of the hanging map, and he explained the situation in front of him to the generals.

"To use troops from Yanzhou, it is to take the south, and in addition, the Dingyan army can also march to the north. If this is the case, the other part can pass through Youzhou, go straight to Helan Mountain, on the way the land is sparsely populated, many wilderness areas, can effectively hide the traces of the army, to achieve the effect of surprise. ”

The general Li Zheng pondered: "Use troops to the north and go straight to Helan Mountain, what is the plan of the difficult army?" The border defense of our Shuofang army is focused on the area of Helan Mountain, where there are Chonggang Town, Dingyuan City, Xinbao, Huaiyuan and other important towns, and there are a lot of troops. ”

Li Shaocheng sat down after returning to the case and answered Li Zheng's question, "Break through the customs and open the passage of Helan Mountain, and you can welcome the entry of thieves from Hexi and other states." If they merge into one, and then reunite to encircle Lingzhou, Lingzhou will be difficult to defend. ”

Li Zheng was even more puzzled, "In recent years, the Dingyan Army has been sending sentries to Hexi, plotting to march into Hexi, in this case, how can the Hexi thieves help him attack my Lingzhou?" Hexi thieves attack my Lingzhou, what are the plans? The Dingyan army plotted the heart of Hexi, don't they know? ”

Li Shaocheng laughed, "Shuofang's army is stationed at the border pass, isn't it just the entry of thieves from Hexi?" They are jackals, and they regard the anointed land in my gate as fish and meat, and they often think about entering the country to plunder, and they have been like this for many years. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shaocheng paused and continued: "In recent years, the sentinels and envoys of the Dingyan Army have indeed gone to Hexi frequently, but who can guarantee that after entering Hexi, they are not bewitching the thieves in Hexi and conspiring with them to divide the land of Shuofang equally and open the passage into the Central Plains?" The Hexi thieves often have this intention, and if the Dingyan army does what they like, they will naturally be able to form an alliance with the Hexi thieves. All in all, even if the Jingnan Army is plotting against Hexi, it can make the Hexi thieves think that he has no such intentions. ”

Li Zheng became solemn when he heard this, and muttered: "If this is the case, then it is indeed possible for the Dingyan army to march directly to Helan Mountain. ”

......

Changze County.

The vast night sky is clear, and the silence of the wilderness is calming.

The candles in the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Luming Temple are bright, and there is a person who bows down on the futon and worships, and his actions are meticulous.

"You still believe in Buddhism?" The fifth girl leaned against the doorframe and glanced at the people in the hall.

The man straightened up, facing the Buddha statue, and there were three incense sticks burning slowly in front of him, "It is always not wrong to go into the mountains to ask for directions, and to enter the temple to worship the Buddha." ”

The fifth girl said: "I see that you have doubts and blank looks in your eyes, could it be that you have doubts in your heart?" ”

The man smiled, got up and came to the door, saluted again, and then said: "Could it be that the Fifth Commander also has a Buddha heart, and can answer the doubts in his heart for others?" ”

The fifth girl smiled: "Some doubts are superfluous, and only by abandoning distracting thoughts can we hold on to our hearts." If the mind is clear, and then look at the things in the world, it will naturally be enlightened. ”

When the man heard this, he thought about it seriously, and finally sighed: "This is easy to say, but how can it really be so easy to do?" ”

The fifth girl said: "Shi Jingjiao is a traitor and a thief, this is a big traitor, you have received the grace of the country, only today, you should know the truth of loyalty to the country." If this heart knows loyalty and righteousness, why should it hesitate at this time? ”

The man said bitterly: "In the eyes of others, this matter is naturally very clear, but I am in the bureau, and I have received great grace from the envoy, and I want to abandon it now, and I can't bear it after all." ”

The fifth girl and the man came to a side room, and sat down on the table, although the light was bright, but there was only coarse tea for drinking.

The fifth girl said, "I haven't had time to thank you yet." This time, the Dingyan army used troops to the north, and if it weren't for your tipping, the Shuofang army would definitely not be able to deal with it. This battle is not only related to the life and death of the Shuofang army, but also related to the country's plan to use troops in Hexi and the Western Regions. ”

If Cui Linglong heard the words of the fifth girl, she would definitely be speechless with surprise.

Yesterday, the fifth girl analyzed the strategy of the Dingyan Army, but in fact, it was just a reverse calculation to know the answer. Cui Linglong didn't know the truth, and was inevitably shocked and exhausted. And the reason why the fifth girl did that was to hide the person in front of her.

This meeting with this person is an important reason why the fifth girl came to Luming Temple, the identity of the other party is too important, and the fifth girl must come in person to persuade him to continue on that road.

The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I revealed to you the strategy of the Dingyan Army, not expecting to get any credit in the future, I just don't want to see the Tang people fighting each other, and using the blood and lives of thousands of Tang Dynasty warriors to let the alien thieves take advantage." ”

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, his voice was slow, as if asking himself and the fifth girl, "This time the Shuo Fang army is well guarded, that is, the Dingyan army will come over, presumably the Shuo Fang army can also deal with it, and the border pass of Helan Mountain must not be broken, and the foreign thieves will not be able to set foot in my Datang land...... Just ......"

"It's just that in this way, the situation of the Dingyan Army will be difficult." The fifth girl spoke for him.

The man was silent for a long time, and before he knew it, he burst into tears, "I really don't understand why the envoy used force against the Shuofang army...... He always said that he wanted to lay down Hexi and establish a great cause, and I always thought that he was going to establish this cause for Datang. Now I understand that he no longer has Datang in his heart...... But without Datang, can you bear to slaughter your own compatriots? Can you bear to let foreign robbers wreak havoc on the land of China? ”

The fifth girl was also silent, and only after a moment did she say: "In the past few decades of life, how many things have to be experienced, how many hardships and grievances have you suffered?" In between, there are always people whose hearts and intestines will be broken. ”

The room was silent, except for the flickering lights.

Half an hour later, the man stood up and saluted the fifth girl as a farewell, "But everything I know has been told to the commander, I hope that the next war will not make the soldiers and people of the Tang Dynasty suffer more." ”

The fifth girl got up and sent her to the door, and said seriously: "Don't worry, your efforts will not be in vain." ”

The man nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped again, and stopped talking.

The fifth girl knew what he wanted to say, "Don't worry, we will take care of her, Your Majesty has already said that we will find a good family for her to marry." ”

The man nodded, and couldn't help but burst into tears again, "Yes, marry a good family, live an ordinary life, teach each other husband and children, stay away from conquest and killing, and there will be no dilemma...... In this way, even if something happens to me in the future, I will not have any regrets. ”

......

The three thousand gentlemen all suddenly launched an attack when the garrison of Changze County retreated against them, and naturally there was no reason not to win. These Changze County garrisons would never have thought that the gentlemen, who had already obtained what they wanted, would charge them at this time, when Xiazhou, Lingzhou, and the imperial court had not yet torn their faces, and took the initiative to provoke a war between the two.

Shi Jingjiao was willing to give up Cui Linglong, just to cover up the whereabouts of the army for a few more days, because he felt that the mission of the Dark Tiger had almost been completed so far, and Cui Linglong no longer had much value for the follow-up of this war.

However, when Shi Jingjiao heard this battle report in Xiazhou, he immediately realized that his idea of not hesitating to make the Changze County garrison give up the force to rescue Cui Linglong in order to cover up the operation of the Dingyan Army in the north had come to naught.

Gentlemen are taking the lead in provoking war in Changze County, if it is not deliberate, no one will believe it at all, since it is deliberate, it cannot be an isolated action, it must be in line with the entire strategy of the Shuo army, at this time, it is conceivable that the Shuo army has entered a state of war in an all-round way, and the border towns around Helan Mountain will be tightly fortified.

"General Liu led the army to march into the Helan Mountain area, in order to cooperate with the three states of Hexi and open the border defense of Helan Mountain. Shi Jingjiao's confidants persuaded him, "And now the gentlemen have already provoked a war in Changze County, which shows that the imperial army is likely to be not far away, if the three states of Hexi enter Lingzhou, the imperial army will besiege Xiazhou, I am afraid that Xiazhou will be in danger!" ”

Shi Jingjiao kept his face calm and didn't say a word.

The staff continued: "At this time, it is a safe move to let General Liu lead the army back to defend Xiazhou, first seek self-protection, and then think about the big plan in the long run!" ”

Shi Jingjiao got up angrily, "There are only three thousand gentlemen, can you still turn against the sky?" If Helan Mountain can't be opened, the armies of the three states in Hexi can't enter Lingzhou, and no matter how the Dingyan army guards against Xiazhou, it's tantamount to lingering! Ben Shuai is determined to forge ahead, how can he be so restrained? ”

After that, he still ordered Liu Zhiyuan to attack Helan Mountain.

And after the gentleman won the victory in Changze County, he did not stay in Changze County for more, but gave full play to the advantages of the elite cavalry attack, and arrived in front of Xiazhou City in a few days!
