During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Sun Wu, a great Chinese military strategist, listed eight principles for using soldiers to fight a war in his "The Art of War", and "encircling three ques and one" was one of them. et

"Wai Sanque one" is also the same as "Wai Shi must be que", the ancient word "que" through the "gap" of "lack", which is the meaning of "gap". This means emphasizing the need to leave gaps when encircling the enemy, in which case encircling the enemy on all sides may prompt the enemy commander to make up his mind to fight to the death. Conversely, deliberately leaving a gap can cause the enemy commander to vacillate between flight and death, as well as demoralize the enemy soldiers.

And more importantly, this false gap is not for the generals to let it go, but to preset an ambush in the place where the enemy must escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush circle in the process of hasty escape; In particular, if the enemy besieges and holds the castle, once the enemy abandons the city and flees, he can avoid the pain of siege and completely destroy the enemy army in the field battlefield.

In contrast, it is obviously much less difficult and costly to fight an enemy who has fled to the death than to fight an enemy to the death. Generals with a little brains can calculate this account, so "besieging the division must be que" is a common tactic used by generals in all dynasties.

Yes, this army is the one led by Liu Qi, Liu Zhengyan, Chongyan, Qu Duan and others sent by Lotte before.

More than 1,000 tired soldiers, facing the 10,000 Song troops who were waiting for work, Li Qianshun looked desperate. These thousand tired soldiers just want to resist, and how much physical strength can they resist......

……

"The Xia Kingdom is dead......

When Li Qianshun was escorted to the car, Sergeant Song couldn't help but shout.

From Li Jiqian's reliance on the support of the Liao State to start Yang Fengyin disobedience, to Li Yuanhao's rebellion against the Song Dynasty and self-reliance, and then to the later battles; Restoring the clouds and destroying the summer was the wish of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and today it is finally one of them.

Looking at Li Qianshun who was detained in the car, as well as the queue of prisoners of war, Liu Zhengyan and Liu Qi and others beside him sighed: "Wait for work with ease, the great gift that Leshu gave to me is too heavy!" ”

Liu Qi also sighed: "Although Leshu is younger than me, he is really handsome, and I am not as good as my generation!" ”

Chongyan had a look of shame on his face and did not make a sound.

And Qu Duan's heart is full of shock, on the knowledge of Qu Duan in the Western Army can be called the Jinshi of the army, to say that the war can also be said to be brave and resourceful, this is also the most proud place in Qu Duan's heart, but one and Lotte, only to send himself from beginning to end can not be with Lotte, and even Qu Duan thinks that the people of the Great Song Dynasty and Wu are not out of the right of Lotte, they are their own top bosses, and the famous Northwest Seed Master Dao can not be compared with the music book.

"Go back to Xingqing Mansion!" A group of people, with Liu Zhengyan being the oldest and having the highest official position, these people listened to Liu Zhengyan.

But Liu Zhengyan's heart is also very clear, the credit sent by Lotte is to be divided equally between the four of them, Lotte wants to close the relationship between the seed family and the two Liu families at the same time, but Liu Zhengyan is a little puzzled, although Quduan has two fights, but Quduan's family background is not enough to be won over by Lotte, but he can't understand it, but he can't say anything.

……

At this time, the battle on the side of the seed master gradually ended, and the princes, princes, princesses, and concubines of Western Xia, as well as the noble ministers, all took it, and as the elite of Western Xia, the central guards were also dead, fleeing, and surrendering.

The reason why Lotte placed the seed master here to intercept the Xia army was because of Lotte's plan. The way of the seed master is called the old seed strategy, and the seed master is called the small seed strategy, and at this time the seed master did not serve as the one way through the strategy, and there is a reason for this.

The kind of clan operates in the northwest, it is a well-known thing in the world, Tong Guan studied under Li Xian by flattering the sycophant Huizong Zhao Ji and took the position, in charge of the northwest military affairs, and has the right to control the generals of the road, in terms of real talent, Tong Guan's Taowu slightly compared to his master Li Xian is not a little bit worse, the reason why Tong Guan's official position can rise higher and higher, in addition to putting the credit of the Western Army on his head, and hiding such a thing as a defeat and defeat, Tong Guan has not done less.

There are many people who look down on Tong Guan, such as during the Chongning period, Tong Guan inspected the border areas and was late for an appointment with Qian Ang, the governor of Qinzhou. Qian Ang asked, "Why is the captain late?" Tong Guan was unhappy in his heart, and felt that this little Zhizhou dared to ask why he was late (the grade is a reflection of the grade), and replied: "The mule I ride is a small and difficult to ride, so I walk slowly." Qian Ang asked, "Did the captain take a male mule or a female mule?" Tong Guan replied: "The mule." Qian Ang made a pun: "The male mule is not easy to ride, castrate this thing!" Gonggong Tong was angry, but he was helpless.

It's just that Tong Guan's officials are rising higher and higher, although he looks down on Tong Guan in his heart, but at this time he is only pressed in the bottom of his heart, the seed is a giant room in Shaanxi, and the seed master and the seed master are both generals, and when they encounter military opinions, they naturally contradict Tong Guan's half-bottle of vinegar opinions, which makes Tong Guan dissatisfied with the two brothers of the seed master and the road.

Both sides were dissatisfied with each other, and Tong Guan also wanted to fight the seed clan, so he found a reason, transferred the seed master to the rear of Jingyuan Road to do logistics, and relieved the seed master from the post of the master strategy, after all, the two brothers in the family are the people in charge of the army, which is also a threat to the imperial court, so the imperial court also allowed it.

It wasn't until Liu Fa had the defeat of Tong'an that Zhao Ji and Tong Guan re-activated the Seed Master Dao, but the Seed Master still had not been reinstated, so the Wulu Bian Marshal did not have the name of the Seed Division, and sent troops to destroy the Xia, and the Seed Master Dao naturally transferred his brothers to the account to listen to it.

This interception of the Xia army, the planter was placed here, and Lotte intended to let the planter make meritorious service, and the official was reinstated.

……

At noon, Xingqing Mansion was shrouded in a faint layer of smoke, and the air was mixed with various other smells in addition to the choking smoke and fireworks, and at this time there was still curling green smoke rising in the city, emitting from many buildings that had been burned out or had not yet burned out.

At this time, in addition to the outer city wall and the inner city wall of the imperial palace, most of the city became a piece of scorched land, and only the inner palace and the official palace were still good.

The place where Western Xia relied on to survive was the plain between Helan Mountain and the Yellow River, Youzhou can be lost, Xiazhou can be lost, Yanzhou can also be lost, as long as this land is not lost, Western Xia has the hope of recovering the country.

However, the Xingqing Mansion was broken, and this land was lost, which also meant that the Dagaobai Kingdom was destroyed, and the remnants of the Xia Army who resisted the Song army sporadically in the city were not so much resisting as denying the reality of the defeat of the family and country, and finding a trace of psychological relief for themselves.

What is the meaning of living by the death of the country, these people are just begging for death.

It is the luck of the country that there are dead soldiers, but at this time it is the sorrow of the country, these Xia soldiers who are struggling to resist the Song army are just doing meaningless and meaningless things, and in the end they only end up with a dead body, maybe this can make their psychology get a little comfort.

I have to admit that in terms of being emperors, including Li Qianshun, the successive emperors of Western Xia, Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State are all competent, and they have a sense of distress, and Xingqing Mansion has enough grain and grass for 100,000 soldiers to eat for three years, what kind of figure is this.

In fact, it is not surprising that the successive emperors of the Western Xia had a sense of distress, the small people of the Western Xia State were poor and the land was barren, and the borders of the two large countries of Song and Liao, in addition to the Mongolian tribes in the steppes in the north, the Tubo in the south and the Uighurs in the west were all at odds with the Western Xia, so the Western Xia had to have a strong sense of distress.

The huge amount of grain and grass that is enough for 100,000 soldiers and military horses to eat for three years naturally cannot be placed on the surface, and if it is placed on the surface, it will be destroyed by the enemy country long ago, and the granary of food must be buried in the ground.

The Song army, which entered Xingqing Mansion, set out to exterminate the Xia army, which still had sporadic resistance, and at the same time looked for the Xia people's granary in Xingqing Mansion under the occupation of prisoners of war.

Xingqing Mansion is not big, and the place where the granary is located is naturally extremely easy to find, although most of the city is in ruins, but the original outline is still there.

……

Although the Xingfu Mansion was captured, the Seed Master Dao, Lotte and others still did not enter the Xingqing Mansion, and still sat in the handsome tent in the north of the city, at this time the Xingqing Mansion was not peaceful, after all, there were still sporadic remnants of the Xia Army, and the Seed Master Dao and others were all generals over sixty years old, and no matter how many guards there were, they should also be careful about their safety.

Since yesterday when he was preparing for the siege, he didn't sleep for a day and a night, and now although he has broken the Xingqing Mansion, Liu Fa and several other old commanders still haven't slept, and they haven't gotten any news from Li Qianshun.

Just after lunch, a small school came to report: "Report to all the handsome masters, Lord Shu, the granary of Xingqing Mansion has been found, the house outside the granary has been burned down, but the grain in the underground cellar is still intact!" ”

Liu Zhongwu said happily: "It's good now, our army no longer needs the supply of grain and grass from the country, only the grain of Xingqing Mansion can use troops to the north again, and directly take the land north of Ningzhou, and the irrigation water system in Xingqing Mansion is developed and the grain production is large, so only this can achieve a long-term summer state!" ”

"Master Jingluo is wrong this time!" Lotte said with a smile: "This Lingxia land has been the homeland of our dynasty since the Qin and Han dynasties, and now it is just taken back in the hands of your commanders and subordinates!" ”

"It's the old man who said it wrong!" Hearing Lotte say this, Liu Zhongwu was stunned, and then smiled again: "But you Leshu is also wrong this time!" ”

"What's wrong with the lower officials?" Lotte was also a little surprised.

Liu Zhongwu said with a smile: "This time to destroy the summer, Leshu has made a great contribution, even the history books of later generations are afraid that they will also take back Lingxia with special books and big books, and our names are only mentioned at most!" ”

Liu Fa and Seed Master Dao also nodded and smiled on the side, and their hearts were very clear, if it weren't for the fact that Lotte Water irrigated Lingzhou and the south of Jingzhou, and they repeatedly plotted during the period, I don't know how far this battle can go.

Afterwards, the seed master asked the little school, "What is the situation of the people in the city now?" ”

"Back to the words of the handsome!" The little colonel hurriedly replied: "Most of the houses in the city of Xingqing Mansion are civil or wooden houses, all of which were burned by fire, and the official mansions of the Xia people were also burned down, but fortunately, Xingqing Mansion garrisoned a lot of Xia troops, burned some, and most of them were preserved. ”

A family of archives is the most valuable place in this country, the Western Xia was destroyed by the Mongols, most of the books and annals were burned by the Mongols, and the common people and officials were also killed by the Mongols, and a small number of party members could only be incognito scattered throughout China, and finally integrated into the Han and other ethnic groups, and the party people were almost wiped out.

Later generations know very little about the history of the Western Xia, and can only learn some from the notes of the Song people, and even the history of the Western Xia Kingdom is too little historical data, and only two chapters of the history of the Song Dynasty were compiled by the Yuan people.

The capture of the Xia Kingdom also means that a lot of miscellaneous things come one after another, and a series of things to do to pacify the people and pacify the people, although the master is a military attaché, but before becoming a military attaché, he was born as an official, so he is more concerned about appeasing the people.
