"How did the Tanguts withdraw? What the hell is going on here? ”

In the city of Youzhou, the original Youzhou Prefecture temporarily became the Marshal's Mansion on the Yanyan Road, and Liu Yanqing stroked his beard and groaned through the slight caress of the Yanyan Road, which was even more incomprehensible.

Liu Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi stood aside, and said in a thoughtful voice: "Father, my son thinks that our army is not easy to advance, so it is better to stay here for a few more days, and at the same time get in touch with Yao Shuai on Hedong Road to find out what the situation is on Yao Shuai's side!" ”

Listening to his son Liu Guangshi speak like this, Liu Yanqing nodded and said: "For my father, I also have this intention, but if it is delayed in Youzhou for a long time, the imperial court will inevitably punish it, and the two of them sent troops from Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road. ”

Liu Guangshi disagreed, and said: "Jingyuan and Huanqing are too close to Lingzhou, and the two of them have the advantage of geographical advantages, and my father has called all the way from China, and he has made more contributions than the two, if His Majesty is punished, there will be people in the court who can't see it, and besides, the relationship between you and Tong Shuai ...... your father."

"Shut ......up," Liu Yanqing snorted lightly.

The evaluation of Liu Yanqing in the history books is too general, the character is timid and speculative, the history books record that he has military exploits is true, it is estimated that he also obtained merit through the light of others, and as Liu Yanqing's subordinate, Han Shizhong once beheaded the Western Xia Prison Army, this merit did not fall on Han Shizhong's head, but it was inevitable to be recorded on Liu Yanqing's head, in addition to the relationship between Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan is extraordinary, otherwise when Xuanhe invaded Liao, Tong Guan would not abandon the division and use Liu Yanqing.

It is precisely because the relationship between Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan is extraordinary that Liu Yanqing is very sensitive to his identity as a eunuch. Because of the disaster of the eunuchs of the former Tang Dynasty, the scholars of the Song Dynasty regarded the eunuchs as shameless, although Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other human rights leaned towards the government and the opposition, but the scholars and scholars still looked down on these people in their bones, like Liu Yanqing did all the way through this kind of official, although he was a military general, but he still looked down on Tong Guan in his heart.

As the son of Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi is not only very similar to his father, but also similar to his father in his career.

"It's my son who lost his word!" Seeing that his father was unhappy, Liu Guangshi was busy, and then said: "This summer, people retreated without a fight, and my father remembered the defeat of Haoshuichuan in the second year of Kangding in the Renzong Dynasty." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yanqing raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Make it clear to your father!" ”

Liu Guangshi was able to live in the Wupin martial arts at a young age, and he also studied martial arts in Biandu, and naturally he was also a knowledgeable person, and he remembered many examples of war history, and said: "In February of the second year of Kangding, Li Wuhao led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack my Great Song Dynasty, ambushed the main force at the mouth of the Haoshui River, divided the army to attack Huaiyuan, and at the same time claimed to attack Weizhou on Jingyuan Road.

However, Han Zhigui (Han Qi) did not listen to Xiwengong's dissuasion, and ordered Ren Fu, the deputy capital of Huanqing Road, to lead 50,000 troops, and arrived in Yanglong City from the Zhenrong army, waiting for an opportunity to break the summer.

Ren Fu led the army to Huaiyuan City, and met Chang Ding, the west road inspector of the Zhenrong army, and the Western Xia army fought in the south of Zhangyibao, killing thousands of Xia troops, and the Xia people also continued to reinforce. Ren Fujun rushed to the local support, so the Xia army feinted, Ren Fu planned and pursued with him. Due to the long-distance pursuit, the Song army was very tired due to the lack of food and grass, and the people and horses were sleepy. Chased to Haoshuichuan, encountered an ambush by the main force of Li Yuanhao's Xia army, our army was defeated, Ren Fu and other generals were killed, and almost the entire army was wiped out......"

Hearing his son say this, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Do you mean to say that the Xia people retreated, did they set up a battle, waiting for us to jump into the encirclement set up by the Xia army?" ”

Liu Guangshi said on the side: "Father, what do you think, Hongzhou and Longzhou are the border towns of the Xia people, although our army has attacked them, but it has also consumed considerable manpower and material resources, Youzhou is the garrison of the Jianing Military Division, and it is also the border town in the east of the Xia People's Thirteenth Army Division, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending our Great Song Dynasty, and how can there be any reason to let it out, so the son suspects that this is the Xia people's plan to lure the enemy, intending to take advantage of our army's laziness to launch a counterattack against our army!" ”

"Very reasonable!" Liu Yanqing nodded.

"Report, big handsome!" At this time, a soldier came to report it.

"Say!" Liu Guangshi commanded.

The little colonel got the order and hurriedly said: "According to the report from the detailed work lurking in Yanzhou, the section of the Yellow River in Lingzhou has burst the embankment, making Lingzhou a ...... in the Yellow Flood Area."

"If the Yellow River floods Lingzhou, Lingzhou will be abolished, and the Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu will definitely turn to attack Shunzhou!" Liu Yanqing thought for a while and said.

Liu Guangshi said: "Father, after I take Yanzhou, won't I want to bypass the Yellow Flood Area and go to Shunzhou City to meet with the two masters of Jinglu, Chong and Liu?" ”

"No, at this time, it is the flood of the Yellow River in late autumn and early winter, which is not the turn of spring and summer, how can the Yellow River burst its embankment?" Liu Yanqing soon realized that something was wrong with the Yellow River's burst.

The junior colonel replied: "Back to the big handsome, according to the news from the Xia Kingdom, the reason why the Yellow River will burst in Lingzhou is because the commander dug the Yellow River water to irrigate Lingzhou!" ”

"The Dao of the Planter is a good strategy, the solid walls of Lingzhou City are high, and it is not advisable to be several times more people, and one move of flooding will make Xia Guo work hard, and the outpost used to resist my Great Song Dynasty has become an outcast!" Liu Yanqing nodded, and suddenly realized: "No wonder the Xia army stationed in Youzhou hurriedly withdrew, thinking that the two of them had already begun to attack Shunzhou, Xingqing was in danger, and they had to transfer the men and horses of the Jianing Military Division back to Xingqing Mansion." ”

Signaling the little colonel to go down, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Liu Guangshi asked: "Father, since the Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu have already started to attack Shunzhou, is it a blessing in the snow for my father and son to go to the Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu to join the two of them, or is it the icing on the cake?" ”

Liu Yanqing narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked, "Is it the icing on the cake?" Or is it better to let the court remember the merits of my father and son? ”

"The latter, of course!" Liu Guangshi replied, "At present, the two of them have attacked Shunzhou, and there are more than 80,000 people and horses in the two places, and it is not a problem to capture Shunzhou......

Liu Yanqing nodded, his son Liu Guangshi's words were obviously very much in line with Liu Yanqing's appetite.

Liu Guangshi then analyzed: "After capturing Shunzhou, Xia must organize a counterattack, which is also the reason why the defenders of Youzhou suddenly withdrew, my son wants the Xia army to withdraw not only the men and horses stationed in Youzhou Jianing Military Division, but also the men and horses of other military divisions, these people and horses plus the soldiers and horses stationed in other places in Xingqing will inevitably form an advantage over the two armies of Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu, as long as he is at a disadvantage, our army can quickly rush to help."

In this way, my father must have been a charcoal in the snow, far more than the icing on the cake, and more remembered by the officials and the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Report ......" At this time, another school came to report.

"What?" Liu Yanqing asked.

"Dashuai, this person is Yao Shuai's personal guard on Hedong Road." The little school said.

At this time, Liu Yanqing saw that the little school who came to report the news was followed by a small school, and saw that this little school was dusty and tired, obviously he had rushed all the way, and he had never even rested.

The little colonel who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "The little one is Yao Shuai's personal guard on Hedong Road, and it was the big man Yao Shuai who got the big man of Jinglu to send a fast horse to inquire, and the eldest master of my family asked the little one to ask you, did the soldiers and horses find any changes in the Xia army?" ”

"When the official came to Youzhou, he saw that all the people and horses of the Xia army stationed in Youzhou were withdrawn, and I just got the news that Lingzhou was irrigated by the Yellow River and became a large Yellow Flood Area, and this commander is thinking about how to meet with Jingyuan Road Shuai and Liu Shuai in Huanqingzhong!" Liu Yanqing said, and then asked, "Did you find anything abnormal in your Yao Shuai?" ”

The pro-army beside Yao Gu said: "The Divine Blessing Military Division, the Divine Brave Military Division of the Left Chamber, and Xiazhou City have all become three empty cities now, and my Yao Shuai is also very surprised, so I came to inquire about Liu Shuai!" ”

Listening to the words of this little colonel, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, when he fought in the empty city of Youzhou, he wanted to report the victory to the imperial court, but fortunately he didn't report it, if he reported it, he would be unlucky now.

Liu Yanqing deliberately sighed: "Ben Shuai is also discussing countermeasures, I don't know if this is the Xia army's plan to lure the enemy......

*********************************

On the west bank of the Hanyuan Canal, a group of young military academies looked at the yellow turbid water surging on the east bank of the Hanyuan Canal, with smiles in their eyebrows and eyes.

It was this group of military academies who used gunpowder to blow the Yellow River out of the gap again on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Lingzhou Breach in Lingzhou, causing the Yellow River to pour into the area between the Yellow River and the Hanyuan Canal, and then rushed north.

The Hetao Plain, where Xixia is located, is the upper half of the Yellow River from the upper stream to the middle stream of the "several" field, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and the Yellow River will break from here to flow from the south to the north, and it is inevitable to go straight to the direction of Jingzhou.

Looking at the scene on the other side, there was a young team officer who was suddenly very poetic, and chanted aloud: "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes......"

"Wu Jue, I read it wrong, this is obviously the boiling water of the Yellow River north......" At this time, an officer passed by and corrected.

"I've seen the prisoner!" The young military academy called Wu Jue turned his head and hurriedly bowed.

The officer asked Wu Jue, "Do you know who wrote this Linjiang Immortal?" ”

Hearing the officer's question, Wu Jue shook his head and said with a smile: "Warden detention, the little ones are usually stationed in Tong'an Village, and Tong'an Village is very occluded, if it weren't for this summer, I'm afraid that the little ones would still be in the village to bask in the sun!" ”

At this time, another young military academy next to him said: "Lord Prisoner, this Linjiang Immortal was recited by my brother who heard the merchants who passed through Anzhai all the way, and my brother felt that the atmosphere was majestic, so he copied it. ”

The officer said: "Wu Jue, Wu Ling, this official tells you that this song Linjiang Immortal came from Biandu, and now it is written by Lord Le, who is now in our army. ”

Wu Jue left his words and said: "Lord Zhongshu is very scheming, otherwise our army will go deep alone, and the Xia soldiers will surround me in three ways, which will inevitably be dangerous!" ”

"Although it's a small team, I have a lot of insight into the overall situation!" At this moment, a voice came, causing the soldiers to turn their eyes on.

"The humble Jingyuan Road leads to the Anzhai Soldiers and Horses, and Qu Duan has seen Lord Zhongshu!" Seeing the visitor, the officer straightened up and said to the visitor.
