Chapter 561: Counting is Counting
(Cat flutter Chinese) Although the mountains and rivers in the northwest are undulating, the blue sky and white clouds are secluded, and the fruit trees and fragrant grass are green, although it is not as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River and the prosperous body of the Central Plains, it has a unique rough beauty.

These pedestrians don't know what level the honor guard of this convoy represents, but they can know that the specifications of this honor guard are much higher than the level of the lords of the nearby states and counties.
At this time, a junior colonel of the Western Army hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Lotte, and said: "Don't be surprised by the people of the Central People's Republic of China, the people of the northwest border have never seen much of the world, and they will inevitably feel fresh when they see the honor guard convoy from Biandu. ”
It has been two days since I went north out of Jingzhou, and there was a military general who was responsible for guarding and guiding the way, and said: "Master Zhong, if you go north for fifty miles, you will be called Xiao Pass, which is known as the four major passes of Qindi." ”
"I want to hear about it!" Lotte said, not seeming to be too interested in it.
"That's what your lord said!" The military general who accompanied the escort said yes, and then introduced: "Two adults, Xiao Pass is not an independent fortress, it echoes with the surrounding towns and forts, forming a complete defense system from high to bottom.
"Xiao Guan is really a strategic place!" The official of the accompanying ceremonial department arranged by the imperial court nodded, and said in Chinese: "Gai is like the throat of Huanyan, Huanqing, and the Central Plains, and the place where Western Xia will fight, if it were not for Fan Han's second duke's surprise victory and the alliance, then Huanyan is unknown, and Huanqing is dangerous, and Huanqing is dangerous and Guanzhong is following." ”
……
The threat to the northwest of Guanzhong mainly comes from the nomadic peoples of Longxi, Hexi and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was mainly the Xiongnu, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was mainly Turkic and Tibetan, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was mainly the Western Xia party. Xiaoguan is the outpost of Guanzhong against the invasion of the northwestern nomads.
Woo......
"Enemy attack! Attack ......"
This is within Xiao Pass, why is there a party member all of a sudden, the soldiers of the escort convoy exclaimed in their hearts.
"At this moment, I'm afraid that the convoy of the Nanren has been wiped out!"
"I have a thousand elite cavalry in Great Xia, and I have a chance of winning against hundreds of honor guards and cavalry of the Southern Dynasty." The military general who was next to him hurriedly followed, and then hesitated again: "But...... Your Highness, the envoy sent by our court to the southern court to negotiate peace is also in the convoy......"
"But Your Highness, there are no eyes for swords and guns in the chaotic army, and I ...... to the envoy," the military general supported.
Hearing this, the military general who was next to Li Renzhong couldn't help but slap a spirit, fear appeared on his face, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Those two envoys are really useless, they went to the southern court to discuss peace for several months, but there was no progress, and our court was almost disgraced, and their crimes should be ......punished."
Li Renzhong, the second prince of Western Xia, looked at the military general next to him with great appreciation and nodded, and the smile between the corners of his lips was a little fierce.
********************
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who were walking side by side were immediately talking loudly, chatting happily with the military generals who were traveling with them, and did not care what Lotte said.
Seeing this person coming, the military general accompanying the escort and leading the way waved his hand, and the whole team stopped.
The scout hurriedly replied: "A group of party members inexplicably appeared in Xiao Guan and attacked one of our convoys......
Hearing Lotte's question, the scout replied: "It just so happens that the two Sun Yanei of the handsome family are leading the troops nearby, and when they heard that a convoy was attacked, they quickly led their men and horses forward. ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites, who was still boasting about it just now, was startled at first, and only came to his senses when he heard that the party members were completely wiped out, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that it was a safe place in Xiao Pass, how could there be a disaster of war?" ”
Lotte continued to ask: "A group of party members, how many party members are there in this group of party members?" ”
In the convoy, Lotte's official position is the highest, so naturally Lotte was the first to speak: "It's nothing, there is your Xia people attacking my Great Song convoy in front, and it is currently in a fierce battle!" ”
When the scout heard this, he hurriedly replied: "According to the general, there seem to be as many as a thousand party members in the convoy that attacked!" ”
As long as there is no sufficient and conclusive evidence, it will never be admitted, not only in modern times, but also in ancient times.
"Yes!" The scout got Lotte's order, and immediately took several scouts in the convoy to check the battle ahead.
……
After discussing with the planter, the two of them made a plan, first sending a secret Western army team disguised as a guard of honor to welcome relatives as a bait, and at the same time, two troops stationed nearby responded at any time, and even scattered scouts to wait for the arrival of the Xia army.
A thousand elite Xia soldiers rode a long way into Xiao Pass, thinking that they would succeed in a sneak attack, but they did not expect to be surrounded by the Song army.
An hour later, the sun in the sky was in the west, and there were scouts galloping from the front, waiting until the front to dismount and report: "A few adults, most of the party members who entered the territory of my Great Song Dynasty in front have been captured and killed, and now the battlefield has been cleaned!" ”
Will there be more than a thousand bandits on the Songxia border? If it is said that the Song people do not believe it, even this Western Xia envoy will not believe it.
