Chapter 479: Xia Ren's Plans
(Cat flutter Chinese) "What happened?" Hearing the mournful cry coming from outside the door, Brother Cha, who felt bad, immediately had cold hands and feet, but still asked calmly.
Just as Brother Cha's words fell, I saw a few soldiers and generals in crooked armor running over, all of them disgraced.
The soldiers and generals who fled back were crying so much that they could barely cry.
Just as the soldiers who had escaped for their lives wiped away their tears, and were about to speak, there were footsteps in the courtyard again, and before they could enter the hall, the voice came.
Just a few days ago, more than 10,000 people were captured by the Song army, and this time they lost 20,000 soldiers. How could Brother Cha not understand in his heart that after losing these 30,000 horses, it meant that the Xia army stationed on the Song-Xia border no longer had field troops and was on the defensive in an all-round way.
"Marshal, there is a battle report on the Eastern Front!" At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps, and I saw a postman carrying a letter bag running quickly into the hall, and after giving a salute, he took out the letter inside, and presented it with both hands.
Seeing that Brother Cha's face was becoming more and more ugly, Ghost Weiba's heart also became nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what happened again?" ”
Eyes swept over the letterhead, the face of the ghost became more and more pale and difficult to see, the letterhead clearly wrote that the Southern Dynasty Jingyuan Road passed through a little pacification to make the master Dao lead the army out of Xiaoguan to conquer Yongli, and then approached the cut, even Mingsha City was also in danger, and thousands of people and horses were lost, and there were many wounded.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Ghost Weiba also panicked, and asked Brother Cha: "Lord, my dynasty has such a defeat, how should I deal with it?" ”
After learning the news that all the 20,000 soldiers and horses were captured or killed, Zhuo Luo and all the generals in the Southern Army Division gathered in the marshal's mansion, and everyone's faces were difficult to see.
"How?" Brother Cha's gaze swept over the generals in the hall, and he sighed and said, "This official will ask His Majesty for this defeat, and it will not affect the generals!" ”
With a bitter smile, Brother Cha looked bitter: "Surrender, please make peace...... Is there any other way? ”
The emperors of the Song Dynasty did not know that the Western Xia dared to use troops against the Song Dynasty because the Liao State was behind the instigation, and the Western Xia won the Liao State and blackmailed the Song on the side.
"Now my gateway to the south depends entirely on you!" Looking at the generals with gloomy expressions, Brother Cha immediately ordered: "Send scouts to the Song Realm to investigate, and you must find out which general of the Song army commanded these two battles." ”
Now Brother Cha is also very worried in his heart, although he is a prince, but three times and twice defeated, even if the royal brother has the intention to favor himself, but the domestic nobles are afraid that they are also trying to find their own trouble.
After cleaning the battlefield, and divided the men and horses to escort more than 10,000 Xia army prisoners to Huangzhou for detention, Lotte led the army back to Gaizhu City has been the next afternoon, the men and horses have just come to the city gate, Liu Fa and He Guan, who have already arrived at the good news, came out to greet the soldiers who defended the city.
"He Shuai has been tortured!" Lotte hurriedly surrendered.
As soon as he looked at the person, Lotte smiled, the person who came was none other than Li Fei, who won with him and picked out his eyes as a bubble when he lost.
Lotte got off the donkey and said with a smile: "General Li is an upright person, and we are all working hard for the Great Song Dynasty, so where is there any offense or not offense!" ”
"After these two battles, the Xia army lost all its elite in the Hengshan field battle, and it will be completely on the defensive." After toasting each other, He Guan thought for a while and said, his eyes turned to Liu Fa and asked, "What do you think Xia Ren will do next?" ”
"Shameless!" He Guan scolded.
After thinking about it, Lotte said: "In this way, our army will quickly take Zhuo Luo and Nancheng before the Xia people ask for help from the Liao State!" ”
……
Just as the wine feast was about to disperse, a small school suddenly came to report.
The junior colonel hurriedly reported: "Marshal, the scout who inquired about the news came back to report that it was on several necessary roads from Gaizhu City to Zhuo Luo City, and at the same time found a large number of Xia soldiers, and under the cover of archers, these Xia soldiers were wreaking havoc on the road!" ”
"Are the Khitans really that powerful?" At this moment, Lotte was already a little drunk, and then smiled again: "Those Khitan people in the north are almost unable to protect themselves, and they still have the heart to take care of the affairs of the Western Xia people......"
In the middle of the Liao State, Emperor Huizong only immersed himself in peace and happiness, and did not pay much attention to the affairs in the Liao State, so that the entire Great Song Dynasty court knew little about the war between the Jin people and the Liao State in the northeast, and Liu Fa and He Guan were in the northwest all the year round, so they naturally did not know about those things.
"Lord Wang, it's clear!" Just as Brother Cha was writing a report to the court, a man dressed in gray hurriedly came in from outside and bowed to Brother Cha.
The person who came hurriedly replied: "Xia Guan ordered to pretend to be a merchant to sneak into Gaizhu City, and after many inquiries, I learned that the one who commanded the Song army to fight this time was Lotte who had been assassinated by the marshal."
After a pause, the gray-clothed man reported again: "Lord Wang, my subordinates also found out that the ambush went to Gaizhu City from Zhuo Luo City to reinforce the army, and it was Na Lotte who gave advice to Liu Fa, and it was this person who made plans to earn Gaizhu City!" ”
The man in gray continued to report: "Your Royal Highness, this Lotte is really not easy to assassinate, there is a strong and loyal personal guard by his side, and there are many soldiers on the left and right, it is said that this Lotte came to the northwest this time, and the three princes of the Southern Dynasty, King Yun, sent a hundred imperial city soldiers as guards, and the last assassination failed, that Lotte was already vigilant and never gave people a chance!" ”
The gray-clothed man snorted: "The female trickster who assassinated Lotte is a newbie who has just been trained, and she dialed the wrong basket on her head when she assassinated. ”
"Yes, the little one will do his best!" The man in gray hurriedly replied.
"Yes, yes!" The man replied as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then made a gesture and went outside.
"Yes, my subordinates will do their best!" The gray man replied, and when he spoke, a light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Lord Wang, there is a way for the little one not to kill Na Lotte, but also to make Na Lotian no longer trusted by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and even to be used by my Great Xia!" ”
