Chapter 14 Joining the Hexi Central

readx;

Wu Ji's analysis is very reasonable, and the generals have to be convinced. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe question is, how to achieve Wu Ji's goal? That's the crux of the matter!

Seeing a problem and solving it are two different things, and the way is important.

"The Western Xia was established by the party members, and in the final analysis, they were the Qiang people. As for Qiang, it has a very long history. Wu Ji did not answer immediately, but talked about the origin of the Qiang people: "General Huangfu, you have read a lot of books and are familiar with historical facts, so let's talk about it." ”

"Huh!" Wu Ji praised for having read a lot of books, and he was familiar with the truth, Huangfu Song was more comfortable than drinking the elixir and jade liquid, let out a burst of laughter, cleared his throat, and began to talk about the history of the Qiang people: "Qiang, extremely long, when there were no Huns, there was Qiang." As you all know, the Xiongnu have been extinct for hundreds of years, and the Qiang is still there, still in the northwest, and the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Really want to trace, the history of Qiang can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the history is extremely long, in the ancient Chinese history books, there is no record of the Xiongnu when there is no record, there is a record of Qiang.

Moreover, the Xiongnu have been extinct for hundreds of years, while the Qiang people are still there, and they are still enemies of China, which shows their long history.

"You all know that after Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms, he once sold the blade and cast twelve gold men, who is this gold man?" Huangfu Song's knowledge is good, and he began to say carefully: "This golden statue is a fierce general under Qin Shi Huang, this person is tall and strong, and he has fought against the Qiang for ten years, and the Qiang people are extremely afraid of him. When Qin Shi Huang found out, he decreed that he would be cast into a golden man with his appearance. ”

"I see!"

"The Twelve Golden People are also related to Qiang!"

Qin Shi Huang cast gold is a famous event in Chinese history, and it is related to Qiang, and the generals really can't imagine it.

"At that time, the fight against the Qiang people was in Longxi, and it was also in the land of Western Xia." Huangfu Song then continued, "After the fall of Qin, the Han Dynasty was established, and although the Han Dynasty fought endlessly with the Xiongnu, it was also fighting against the Qiang people. It is only because the Xiongnu were strong and forced the Han Dynasty to a life-and-death juncture, so the Han-Hun War is particularly famous. Although the Qiang people were fighting against the Han Dynasty, it was because of the weak strength of the Qiang people, and they did not pose much threat to the Han Dynasty, and not many people knew about it. It was not until the Han Wu defeated the Xiongnu that they began to subdue the Siyi, and the Han Dynasty fought with the Qiang people, which was well known. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's defeat of the Xiongnu was one of the most glorious pages in Chinese history, but it was only the beginning of the glory of the Han Empire. After the threat from the north was lifted, the Han Empire began to attack from all sides, conquering the land of Baiyue in the south, the Qiang people in the west, the Western Regions, and Liaodong in the east, which more than doubled China's territory at once.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Xiqiang was the enemy, and Cao Ying attacked Xiliang, and it was the Qiang people who were fighting." Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Cao Pu is worthy of being a Xiong, and he is different from Xiqiang. He made a lot of momentum and sent troops in a big way, but he ordered a slow march, and all the generals were surprised, and they thought that Cao was dizzy, where did he know, he was hiding evil intentions, and he deliberately gave Xiqiang time to send troops. Xiqiang didn't know what to do, so he transferred a large number of Qiang people out of the high mountains and dense forests, and prepared to fight Cao Pu to the death. When the generals heard about this, they were greatly frightened, but Cao was overjoyed. ”

This is a well-known thing, Zhou Wei took over the conversation and said: "Cao Wei didn't want to pursue the Qiang people in the mountains and dense forests, but he wanted to transfer the Qiang people out." This Cao is really insidious, if he doesn't do this, but attacks one mountain after another, how many people will have to die? I don't know what it will take to settle down in the Year of the Monkey. After this battle, Xiliang was pacified, if it were not for the political decline of the Jin Dynasty, Xiliang would not be chaotic. ”

"You say Cao is using this trick...... Commander Wu Du, are you also using this plan? Li Mingchu seemed to understand something, stood up suddenly, looked at Wu Ji, and was shocked.

"Is this the trick used by Commander Wu Du?"

reminded Li Mingchu that the generals suddenly woke up, jumped up, and looked at Wu Ji in surprise, a little incredulous, but had to believe it.

"Li Mingchu, your brain is so good! Originally, I didn't pursue you for slashing me with a knife, it seems to be right! Wu Ji looked at Li Mingchu approvingly and teased.

"Huh!" That incident has been rumored to be a beautiful talk, and the crowd will let out a burst of knowing laughter.

"Commander Wu Du, that's a lot of your adult." Li Mingchu is really grateful for this.

"Commander Wu Du, do you really plan to deal with Western Xia like Cao Pu back then?" Zhou Wei's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Ji desperately, eager to pull out the answer from Wu Ji's mouth.

"Commander Wu Du, do you really want to do this?" Although the generals have already guessed, they want to confirm it in person.

Cao's conquest of Xiqiang was the most successful battle against Xiqiang in Chinese history, and its impact was far-reaching. If Wu Ji does the same, then, after this battle, it is conceivable that Hexi will be very stable and there will be no major troubles.

"It's both right and it's not true!" Wu Ji first nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Cao's concealment of the Xiqiang expedition is a wake-up call for me. However, the current situation is different from that of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, although Xiqiang was a disaster, it was not as fierce as Xixia. The reason why I did this was to let Li Bingchang transfer out all the Qiang people in the high mountains and dense forests, which was the same as Cao Ying's intention. The second is to release the elite under the leadership of Li Zongbao and Liang Xi back to Western Xia and annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Think about it, the terrain of Shaanzhou is complex and the terrain is dangerous, which is convenient for the Western Xia army to fight. Even if the Western soldiers can fight again, it is impossible to kill Li Zongbao and them, and the Western Xia army will withdraw. If we do it now, this Western Xia elite will drill into Hengshan, which is Hengshan that stretches for hundreds of miles, and we will fight against it, which will be time-consuming and costly. Therefore, I ordered a rest in Xiazhou just to let them withdraw and clean up in one fell swoop. ”

"Commander Wu Du, what you said is reasonable, very reasonable. In this way, the Western Xia will lose all its elites, and all those who can go to the battlefield will go to the battlefield, even if the rest are only the old and weak, women and children, after this battle, the threat to the Great Song Dynasty is really not big, and the land west of the river will not be stable. Zhou Wei first praised it, and then changed his words, and said: "However, if Li Zongbao and them withdraw to Western Xia, we have to deal with the troops of the whole country in Western Xia, is it not enough?" ”

Han Fang took over the conversation and echoed: "The soldiers of the whole country in Western Xia are hundreds of thousands. With our only 50,000 people, even if we can fight again, it will be enough. In the battle of Talas, the reason why Gao Xianzhi was defeated was that his troops were insufficient, and the strength of the Great Cannibal was several times that of him. The soldiers of the whole country in Western Xia are more than ten times that of us, so we have to worry! ”

The Western Xia is a soldier for the whole people, although there are not many people, if you really want to raise a soldier for the country, there will be hundreds of thousands. Although Wu Ji took three cities in a row, there were still hundreds of thousands of people in Western Xia, and if there was none, four or five hundred thousand was not a problem.

Four or five hundred thousand, that is more than ten times Wu Ji's troops. Although the Song army is super powerful, it is enough to encounter so many enemies. Even if the people of the Western Xia are all pigs, hundreds of thousands of pigs, it will take a lot of effort to let the Song army catch and kill, not to mention the fierce Western Xia army.

Zhou Wei's reminder was very reasonable, and the generals couldn't help nodding.

Han Fang continued: "Besides, that's hundreds of thousands of Xixia dogs, even if we defeat them in Xingqing Mansion, we can't wipe them all out." We don't have enough troops, it would be good to be able to defeat them, where can we divide our forces to pursue and intercept? Once the Xixia dog escapes and returns to the mountains and dense forests, we will be in great trouble. ”

The 50,000 Song army must be concentrated in order to fight with the Western Xia, where can the troops be divided to hold the dangerous passes?

Besides, even if the Western Xia army was defeated and wanted to flee, the Song army did not have so many troops to pursue, so wouldn't it allow the Western Xia army to escape?

If the Western Xia army fled, it would be contrary to Wu Ji's original intention, that is, the disaster would be endless, and when they were all wiped out, they didn't know that the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse were gone, and the price would be high.

"Yes, Commander Wudu, how to solve this?" This is the key point, and if it is not resolved, this battle is of little significance. can only destroy Western Xia, but it is a big trouble.

"Huh!" To the surprise of the generals, Wu Ji was in a hurry, glanced at the generals, and said very approvingly, "You can think of this, it's commendable!" Valuable! The troops in our hands are insufficient, not enough to completely annihilate the entire army of Western Xia! But what if you add Western soldiers? Is it enough? ”

"Western soldiers?" The generals were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand yet.

"Commanded by Wu Du, the western soldiers are fighting hard with Li Zongbao and Liang Xi in Shaanzhou, will they come to Hexi?" Zhou Wei was very surprised: "That's blocked by Hengshan." ”

"Yokoyama?" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not difficult!" I think that the western soldiers are strong, they are unyielding, Li Zongbao and their retreat, the western soldiers will definitely chase after them. As for Yokoyama, whether they can take it or not, I don't know. But even if they were to block Yokoyama, wouldn't I have sent troops to meet them? ”

"That's right! We can turn around and attack Hengshan, and come to a north-south attack, and Hengshan will not fall into our hands. ”

The generals suddenly realized that they were very happy, and said in unison: "When the Western soldiers arrive, we will meet in Hexi, and then fight to the death with the Western Xia." Li Bingchang is not good, and if he falls for the plan commanded by Wu Du, the troops of the whole country of Western Xia will be destroyed. From then on, Hexi was settled! ”

"Wu Du commands, and the last general is willing to lead his troops to attack Hengshan and meet the western soldiers!" Zhou Wei pleaded loudly.

"The last will go!" The generals stepped forward and pleaded in unison.

Defeat Hengshan, in response to the arrival of the Western soldiers, the Song army will be greatly invigorated, and the Western Xia will be destroyed so that it can no longer be destroyed, and there will be no trouble left.

"Wu is in command, and the western soldiers are coming!" At this moment, Wu Xingxing rushed in, reported loudly, and said, "Brother Ji, the western soldiers have taken Hengshan!" ”

"Took Yokoyama? Ha ha! We were about to go to sleep when someone handed us a pillow, haha! The generals burst into laughter in unison.

It was just agreed that the western soldiers would take over Hengshan, but unexpectedly, the western soldiers arrived, which was a great joy.
