Chapter 618: Good News Enters Beijing

"What? The fall of Shunzhou? ”

When Li Qianshun, who was above the Danqi, heard this, he almost turned his back on his anger, and the civil and military forces of Western Xia were even more shocked and pale.

Lingzhou is the outpost of Xingqing Mansion, the city is tall and strong, the Song army can not break through Lingzhou will not be able to go further to the rear of Shunzhou, Jingzhou, if the Song army forcibly bypasses Lingzhou to the hinterland of Western Xia, the Western Xia defenders of Lingzhou can completely pour out of the nest, and the defenders of Jing, Shunshu Prefecture will be the Song army dumplings.

It's just that what the Western Xia government and opposition didn't expect was that Lingzhou actually let the Song army burst the embankment and irrigated, and Shunzhou City was surrounded by the Song army to send reinforcements, not only 20,000 reinforcements were dumped by the Song army, but the Shunzhou city guards couldn't resist and erected a flag.

After half a ring, Li Qianshun came to his senses, his eyes swept over the ministers and asked, "Who is the Shunzhou guard?" ”

"Your Majesty, the name of the Shunzhou guard is called Zang Wei!" The prime minister hurriedly replied.

"Confiscated the whole family, all the men were cut in half, and all the women were slaves!" Li Qianshun's voice was extremely cold, and people did not tolerate even half of the objections.

Under the emperor's anger, who dares to intercede for Zang Wei, not to mention that Zang Wei still surrenders the city, if he spares his family, it is inevitable that no one will follow suit and surrender to the Song army.

Shunzhou fell, Xingqing Mansion only left the southeast of Jing, Ning, Huai three states, like a woman who was stripped of half of her clothes exposed in front of the Song army, Jing, Ning, Huai if another state fell, Western Xia is equivalent to the death of half of the country, if the three states fall, it will be no different from the death of the country.

Although Xingqing Mansion is strong, it can block the Song army for how long, even if the Song army does not forcibly attack the city, Xingqing Mansion will be in the Song army's pocket sooner or later.

How could Li Qianshun allow the inheritance of his ancestors to be destroyed in his own hands, and his cold face commanded: "Order the White Horse Qiangshun Military Division, the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division, the Left Wing Shentong Military Division, the Jianing Military Division, and the Xiangyou Military Division to rush to help." ”

When Yuan Hao rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he announced the establishment of 12 military supervision divisions throughout the Western Xia, which were not only the command organs of the military garrison area, but also the administrative organs of the civil affairs of the place, which fully reflected the system of integration of the military and government in the Western Xia.

These 12 prisons are the military divisions: the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division stationed in Yinzhou, the Xiangyou Military Division stationed in Shizhou, the Jianing Military Division stationed in Youzhou, the Jingsai Military Division stationed in Weizhou, the Xishou Baotai Military Division stationed in the north of Zhurou Wolf Mountain, the Zhuoluo and Southern Military Divisions on the north bank of the Zhuhuang River, the Youxiang Chaoshun Military Division stationed near Xingqing Mansion, the Gansu Military Division stationed in Ganzhou, the Xiping Military Division stationed in Guazhou, the Zhenyan Military Division stationed in Heishui City, the Baimaqiang Town Military Division stationed in Lou Bobei, and the Weifu Military Division stationed in Montenegro. They were stationed on the border of the Western Xia Dynasty and were used to defend the surrounding countries.

During the period of Li Liang's fraud, the Western Xia added the Xiangqing Military Division, stationed in Xiping Mansion (Lingzhou), and the consul general. The chiefs of each supervising military department are the commander of the army, the deputy commander of the army, and the supervising army envoy, and there are commanders, coaches, and left and right attendants.

The Jingsai Military Division was broken by Liu Zhongwu, and the Heishui Yanzhen Military Division, the Xiping Military Division, the Gansu Military Division, the Zhuo Luo and Southern Military Division, the Xikang Hetai Military Division, and the Montenegro Weifu Military Division were too far away to quench their thirst. Ma Qiangshun Military Division, Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division, Left Wing Shentong Military Division, Jianing Military Division, and Xiangyou Military Division were all arranged in the Song-Xia border area to prevent the Great Song Dynasty.

Originally, the Western Xia government and the opposition thought that the Song army won in the battle just to take advantage of firearms, but now it seems that the Song army can win not only because of the advantage of weapons, but also in terms of tactics and tactics, the Song army is also much higher than its own country, just this type of encirclement point reinforcement, so that the Western Xia people lost more than 30,000 troops, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Western Xia, which is already stretched in terms of troops.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty actually flooded Lingzhou, causing the Xiangqing Military Division in Lingzhou to be trapped in Zeguo and unable to move, becoming useless.

……

The battlefield was full of coldness and blood, and the Great Song Biandu seemed to be business as usual on the surface. I have to admit that the secrecy work of the Great Song Dynasty was done so well this time, and the life of the people of Biandu was as usual, and they did not know that the imperial court was at war with the Western Xia people in the northwest, and the various yamen institutions of the imperial court had begun to operate in full swing.

Although the people don't know what happened in the northwest, some people who have lived in Biandu for a long time still see some clues, those officials of the court are in a hurry, and change the practice of the previous five-day dynasty, it seems that there will be a court meeting in two or three days, and the scene of these officials gathering in the teahouse to eat tea is also rare; The merchants in the market also felt that there was something abnormal in the imperial court at the moment, and the imperial court was not quite the same as before, and began to buy a large amount of cotton cloth, grain and grass, and sent them to the northwest.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

On the official road outside the city of Biandu, a fast rider came from the northwest, so that the pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and then the flying horse rushed towards the sour jujube gate in Biandu, and the soldiers guarding the sour jujube gate looked at the gold plate on the person on the horse, and hurriedly gave way to the side.

From the outer city of Suozao Gate to the inner city of Jinshui Gate and then to Xihua Gate, there are very few pedestrians on the road, and this horse that gallops from outside the city is like entering a no-man's land.

There are millions of residents in Biandu City, and the city is naturally crowded, so in order to keep the Northwest Frontier Express Express into Beijing quickly, the passage from Suzao Gate to Xihua Gate was deliberately opened as a special channel.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the great victory in the Northwest ......"

Liang Shicheng shouted loudly in the palace with a strange tone, and rushed into the vertical arch hall.

"A big victory? Tell me about it! Huizong Zhao Ji, who was discussing with Deng Xunwu and others in the Privy Council, immediately flashed an excited smile on his face, and his tone was full of surprise and surprise.

Liang Shicheng, who got the order, hurriedly took the good news and read: "Your Majesty, Jingyuan Road Jingluo appeased the Seed Master Dao, the Seed Master Zhong and the Zhongshu Sheren Lotte respectively captured Mingsha City and Qingli City in one day, and met in Mingsha City, and Huanqing Road Anfu Liu Zhongwu joined the division, and attacked the city in Shunzhou to send reinforcements, and the Zhongshu Sheren led 40,000 superior troops, captured and killed 20,000 Xia reinforcements north of Shunzhou City, and the Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu forced Shunzhou to defend the banner and surrender......"

"Your Majesty, it's not right!" Deng Xunwu, who was not far from leaving office, immediately narrowed his eyes and said: "According to the information obtained by the minister, the Xia people have Xiangqing Military Division stationed in Lingzhou, plus the people of several surrounding towns, together with the people who are half-ploughing and half-pastoral, can gather nearly 50,000 horses, this force must not be underestimated, this good news does not mention the capture of Lingzhou at all, it is not that the two of them bypassed Lingzhou and took Shunzhou, this courage is too big."

At present, it is good to obtain Shunzhou, it can be used as an advance base, and it can be attacked and retreated, but if it cannot be taken, our army will be outflanked by the Xia people, and the result will be unpredictable......"

"The minister also thinks that the master and Liu Zhongwu are too risky......" After Deng Xunwu's voice fell, another minister continued.

"Now is not the time to punish crimes, if you punish crimes, it will definitely disturb the morale of the army and will not benefit the war!" Huizong Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and then asked, "What do you think is how to deal with the enemy of Lingzhou now?" ”

Just when the internal officials in the Privy Council were thinking about it, Liang Shicheng smiled and flattered again: "Your Majesty, there is also a joint invitation from the slave and maid here!" ”

"The three of them know they're wrong?" Huizong Zhao Ji's tone was very dissatisfied.

Obviously, Liang Shicheng had already seen the performance of the three of them, and hurriedly handed over the joint name of the three of Letian, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, please see ......"

With a heavy cold snort, Zhao Ji took the holy decree from Liang Shicheng, first narrowed his eyes and then changed his eyebrows and smiled, "Blame you have to take Lingzhou but bypass Lingzhou and take Shunzhou directly, these three guys are clever, they know that they can't attack it, so they decided the Yellow River and Lingzhou River, and flooded Lingzhou City!" ”

Deng Xunwu on the side heard the words and said: "Your Majesty is saying that the three of them decided the Yellow River and the Lingzhou River and flooded Lingzhou?" ”

"Not bad!" Huizong Zhao Ji shook his head, slapped the plea in his hand on the imperial case, and said with a smile: "Are these three guys pleading guilty to me?" In my opinion, this is obviously asking for credit! ”

Deng Xun said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that flooding Lingzhou is not conducive to my Great Song Dynasty governing the Xia Realm, and flooding Lingzhou does not know how many Xia people will hate my Great Song Dynasty, this move is really inappropriate!" ”

"Lord Deng is too old, so I want to be pedantic!" At this time, Liang Shicheng, who was beside Zhao Ji, snorted disdainfully, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty will inevitably start to mobilize troops to capture Western Xia, and it is also death to die in the sword, and it is also death to die in the flooding, can it be that these Western Xia people who died in the flood will hate my Great Song Dynasty, and they will not hate my Great Song Dynasty if they die under the sword?" ”

What kind of person is Liang Shicheng, it is the existence of being called "hidden phase" by outsiders alongside Tong Guan, although Deng Xunwu is equivalent to Cai Jing's power and one of the three strong men in charge of military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, but he still can't provoke Liang Shicheng, and Deng Xunwu can sit in the position of privy envoy, but Tong Guan and Cai Jing used their strength at the beginning, so Deng Xunwu is Tong Guan's henchman, Liang Shicheng is naturally not used to him.

Before flooding Lingzhou City, Lotte sent the letterhead to Liang Shicheng through the channel of the Imperial City Division, and asked Liang Shicheng to say some good things in front of His Majesty on the matter of flooding Lingzhou, so Lotte dared to flood Lingzhou.

"Liang Shicheng, what you said is very reasonable!" Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the party members have supported the army and respected themselves, and then rebelled against my Great Song Dynasty in the Renzong Dynasty It has been a hundred years since then, and if you want it to obey my Great Song Dynasty education, it will not work without twenty years!" ”

was stunned by Liang Shicheng's words, Deng Xunwu didn't dare to say another word, and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Ji: "It's the minister who is confused!" ”

Tongjin Deng Xunwu was also scolding Tong Guan in his heart for what kind of ghost idea, flooding Lingzhou will flood Lingzhou, if His Majesty wants to do any benevolent government, now let Liang Shicheng come back with a word, and there is no reason to refute it. In fact, Tong Guan didn't want Lotte to flood Lingzhou, in fact, he wanted Yao Gu and Liu Yanqing to fall under the Seed Master Dao.

Liang Shicheng was busy and flattered: "Kefuxing Qingfu is about to destroy the summer, Your Majesty can comfort the emperors of our dynasty and fulfill the wishes of the emperors of our dynasty!" ”

"Flooding Lingzhou, it is a matter of time before my Great Song Dynasty masters Lingzhou, it is a setback in front of me, as long as Lingzhou and Shunzhou are held and these two states are used as a springboard, it will not be a problem to destroy Xia!" Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but he was still cautious, after all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he was really careless.

After speaking, Huizong Zhao Ji looked at the map hanging in the hall, and the little eunuch next to him was very clever, and heard that the seed master Dao and Lotte had flooded Lingzhou, and took Shunzhou, and immediately modified the situation of the enemy on the map.

Immediately, Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "It is not enough that Huangzhou, where Liu Fa is located, is far away from Shuofang, and the two of them have already reached Xingqing Mansion, Liu Yanqing and Yao Gu's two soldiers and horses have not made any progress, is it possible that after the Xingqing Mansion is laid, the two of them will go to visit?" ”
