Chapter 646: Reactions from all sides
At night, the city of Shunzhou was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to walk at will, and it was still in a state of curfew, but in the city where there were soldiers, there was constant laughter at the moment, burning bonfires, burning horse meat, drinking wine, talking and laughing loudly, from generals to soldiers, everyone from top to bottom had a smile on their faces.
Although today's battle lasted for a short time, it really defeated the Xia army on the opposite side, which meant that the last barrier in front of Xingqing Mansion was erased, and Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia State, was in front.
More than halfway through the hour, the marshal's mansion of the army of the three roads of the summer is brightly lit in Shunzhou Prefecture, and now it is the joy of the battle array, but after breaking the enemy, the fatigue of the body is washed away.
In the lobby of the Shuaifu, there were not only four generals such as Liu Fa and Chongshidao, but also a group of middle-aged and young generals in the Third Route Army gathered in the Shuaitang to discuss the next move. It seems that Qu Duan, Liu Qi and others are also included, but at the moment, these people are too young, and they are not a little immature compared to the generals who have fought on the battlefield for many years, and they are only observers at the moment, so it is not their turn to speak.
"Report ...... Jingzhou City Victory! ”
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the lobby of the Shuai Mansion, and before the voice fell, the little school that delivered the message had already run into the Shuai Mansion like a smoke.
Jingzhou City Victory? What's going on? Didn't Jingzhou just get it? The young and middle-aged people in the three roads looked at each other, not knowing what the small school's voice meant.
Under the attention of the generals, the voice of the little colonel was excited and excited: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the plan of the master of Zhongshu, General He and General Qu urgently built the urn city in Jingzhou City overnight, and when it was close to today, they captured more than 10,000 troops in one fell swoop. ”
Hearing the report, Liu Fa and the four generals of the Seed Master Dao couldn't help but set their eyes on Lotte, and their eyes were full of appreciation.
Liu Fa said with a smile: "In the first battle of the day, nearly 20,000 enemy foot soldiers were captured, and now 10,000 enemies are captured in Jingzhou City. ”
Liu Zhongwu also said with a smile: "The book of music is really ingenious, it can be said to moisten things silently, so that the Xia people unknowingly entered the urn and became a turtle in the urn!" ”
"It is estimated that Li Qianshun will not even be able to sleep tonight......" the seed master also laughed.
The seed master just nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Liu Yanqing knows the news, I'm afraid that my intestines will be green because of regret!" ”
In order to prevent the news from being known by the Western Xia spies, in addition to the five people such as Lotte and Liu Fa, and Seed Master Dao, only the men and horses led by He Guan and Qu Jin and the soldiers in the army knew about it, and even He Guan and Qu Jin led the soldiers and horses out, and the news given by Lotte also said that the Xia army had recently attacked and harassed the rear grain, grass, and heavy supplies, and more than 10,000 people were guarding the rear supply and communication lines.
For this statement given by several marshals, many generals are deeply convinced, these days the Xia army from time to time sent troops and horses to attack the rear supply of the Song army, causing great losses to the Song army, naturally believe it, but as long as I think about it a little and feel that something is wrong, He Guan and Qu Jin are both offensive generals, how can they be sent to guard the transportation supply, and also sent nearly 10,000 men and horses, it is really incredible.
It was only at this time that the generals standing in the hall understood what was going on, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Lotte.
*******************************
The time has passed, and the gate of the palace that was originally closed in Western Xia slowly opened this time, and under the gaze of a group of warrior guards, more than a dozen figures walked into the Western Xia Palace in turn, and then the gate of the palace was slowly closed.
The eunuch in charge of the night saw these dozen figures, and couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately had a feeling that something was wrong, and he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and said: "I've seen a lot of adults, I don't know how you came late at night." ”
The dozen or so people who entered the palace late at night were extraordinary people, and the lowest rank was also from the second grade. The Western Xia Cheng Xiang Bo'er Hua, the privy envoy Ning Duoli and the Taiwei Long Suo were among them.
Hearing the question of the eunuch on duty at night, the prime minister who walked in the front asked, "Has Your Majesty ever slept?" ”
"Your Majesty just fell asleep!" The eunuch on duty at night hurriedly replied, looked at the officials and said cautiously: "Your Majesty's sleep these days is extremely bad, if you adults have nothing particularly important, it is better to see you tomorrow morning!" ”
"Desperate!" Not wanting to say anything more to the eunuch on duty, Si Bo'er Hua just sighed.
Since the Great Song Dynasty Wulu Xia, Li Qianshun's nerves have been in a state of high tension, often just falling asleep and waking up, the whole person is in a state of insomnia, because of excessive work, anxiety and nervousness, so that the pampered Li Qianshun's hair bun in this short period of more than a month, from pitch black to gray.
Today, I just fell asleep, and I woke up over there, and then I heard the prime minister, the privy envoy and others coming to see me, which immediately made Li Qianshun have a bad feeling.
"The ...... of a big defeat ahead" Li Qianshun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news of the defeat.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" Seeing Li Qianshun's appearance, Cheng Xiangsi Bo'er Hua, the privy envoy Ning Duoli and Taiwei Longsuo and others hurriedly saluted and persuaded him.
After losing his mind for a moment, Li Qianshun woke up and asked in a sharp voice, "How many of the 100,000 horses in front are left?" ”
The privy envoy Ning Duoli whispered: "Your Majesty, the news of the defeat at the front only reached Xingqing Mansion an hour ago, and as for how many casualties there are, the ministers still don't know!" ”
Such a defeat made Li Qianshun extremely angry, and asked: "What about the three of them, Hua Lachi, Hua Buerdu, and Kubodu?" ”
"The minister hasn't heard from the three of them yet!" The privy envoy Nindoli hurriedly replied.
At this moment, an attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, I didn't hide and ask to see you!" ”
"Let him in!" Li Qianshun hurriedly commanded.
Wu Zangwu came in and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the minister's subordinates, after the right wing of the Shun Military Division and the Jianing Military Division and the Jianing Military Division led the remnants of the army to retreat into Jingzhou, the Song army banner was suddenly hung on the wall of Jingzhou City in the middle of the unitary time......
"Could it be that the two of them voted for the Southern Dynasty?" Li Qianshun exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, the two commanders did not surrender to the Southern Dynasty...... "Wu Zangwu's voice was filled with grief and indignation, and continued: "According to the news from the subordinates who risked their lives to fight the city, the Song army opened the gate of Jingzhou the day before yesterday, and then Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Song army, and then the Song army closed the city gate to deliberately cut off the contact between Jingzhou and the outside, and built an urn city in the city of Jingzhou, and the two generals retreated into Jingzhou without checking, and then fell into the siege of the Song army, and Huabul was martyred, and Kubo was injured and ......captured by the Song army."
"Ah......" Li Qianshun screamed in surprise when he heard this, and almost turned his back on his breath.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Seeing Li Qianshun's appearance, the ministers hurriedly called.
Don't say that it is Li Qianshun, that is, the important ministers of the Western Xia Dynasty are now as pale as earth, and the Song army is quite skillful, and the blow to the Xia army is not ordinarily heavy.
After a long while, Li Qianshun recovered, looked at the courtiers in front of him, and asked, "What should I do with today's plan?" ”
Hearing this, a group of Xixia dignitaries looked at each other, no one knew how to answer, and after half a ring, Cheng Xiangsi Erhua hesitated and said: "At this time, the only way for the minister to do so is to defend Xingqing Mansion with all his might, and at the same time be ready to retreat......
*******************
Although Liu Yanqing fished in the muddy water and captured Lingzhou, it was obvious that he could not camp on the ice, so Liu Yanqing had to settle his army on higher ground.
"Father is really high-minded, when the cultivation master Dao, Liu Zhongwu's army and the Xia people are almost consumed, our army suddenly arrives, it is enough to break the Xia army and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" In the handsome tent of the military camp on Yanyan Road, Liu Guangshi said to his father Liu Yanqing, and then his face showed a little regret: "It's a pity that Li Renzhong, the second prince of the Xia people, got rid of it, otherwise this will make his father even more icing on the cake!" ”
"I didn't expect Liu Fa to rush to Shunzhou so soon!" Hearing the praise of his son Liu Guangshi, Liu Yanqing's eyes flashed a little proud, and then the look on his face became more and more intriguing: "Liu Fa and Seed Master Dao are both the most famous of the five road marshals in the northwest, and now that they have met together, I don't know who can command whom?" ”
"Father is handsome and wise!" Liu Guangshi slapped a big sycophant for his father, and then said: "Xia people tasted it: Liu Fa's bravery, the strategy of the planter's way, in the northwest five roads, Tong Shuai often uses the plantation master road as the commander of the east road, Liu Fa is the commander of the west road, and the two roads attack the Xia people at the same time, just because he is so fierce, and now that the two of them meet together, they will definitely be dirty because of the problem of subordination, and it will inevitably cause infighting in the army, which is really unfavorable to the war situation of our Great Song Dynasty."
If the two of them are reconciled, when they and the Xia people are both injured, the father can sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen; If the two of them lose harmony and affect the situation, the father can also clear the relationship and protect himself! ”
Listening to his son's analysis and praise of himself like this, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but nodded, looked at Liu Guangshi, and said with a smile: "Shi'er, you have grown a lot of mind by staying by your father's side!" ”
"Report ......"
At this time, the footsteps of a soldier came from outside the tent, and then the soldier reported: "Dashuai, according to the news sent out by the scouts, Liu Jingluo of Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road and Liu Zhongwu of Huanqing Road joined forces in Shunzhou three days ago, and defeated the Xia army yesterday in the north of Jingzhou City and the west bank of Tanglai Canal, and captured more than 20,000 enemies.
Moreover, before the war, he sent He Guan and Qu Jin to bypass the rear of the Xia army, win Jingzhou City, set up an ambush in Jingzhou City, captured more than 10,000 Xia troops, and captured the capital army of the Jianing Military Division! ”
"What did you say?" Liu Guangshi's expression was full of disbelief.
Liu Yanqing, who was still triumphant, suddenly sat up from the chair, and asked with wide eyes, "Is this news reliable?" ”
The junior colonel replied: "If you go back to the big marshal, this matter is true, and the scout sent out is the news that entered Shunzhou City and got it from a commander on Huanqing Road!" ”
"The 100,000 army of the Xia people will be crushed in one day?" Liu Yanqing was still incredulous, and then he suddenly thought about it, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know that the seed master who commanded the battle this time is still Liu Fa?" ”
"If you go back to the big handsome, it's not." The little colonel shook his head and replied: "It is said that it was a Zhongshu master sent by the imperial court to directly command this warlord!" ”
