From Hedong to Linzhou and then to Suizhou, such a long journey, Wang Zhongzheng only took half a month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the edict from Zhongshu Province, there was also a secret edict from the official family brought by the Imperial City Division, which made him rush to the northwest. Where did Wang Zhongzheng dare to slack off, he hurriedly called Liu Renliang and crossed the river to the northwest with 20,000 horses.

In a hurry, it was too late to levy enough people. In the rugged northwest area, to ensure the food and grass of the 80,000 army, plus some unknown circumstances, it stands to reason that at least 100,000 people need to be mobilized.

However, when things were urgent, Wang Zhongzheng only mobilized no more than 40,000 people and set off in a hurry, he was more confident in himself, thinking that 40,000 people should be enough to deal with the situation in the northwest.

Wang Zhongzheng soon went ashore, although Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge were loyal to Zhao Zhao. But before the King of Qin and the official family tore their faces, they were all courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they disobey the emperor's holy decree? Before King Qin had no other instructions, they had to greet each other with a smile.

is also a court general, even if Wang Zhong is a eunuch, they are also very respectful. But Wang Zhongzheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he thinks that he is the person appointed by the emperor, and he controls the Eastern Route Army, and he is naturally high. Therefore, in front of Zhi Kexing and Chong Ge, he was unusually high-profile and had a very unfriendly attitude.

Although Zhi Kexing and Chong Ge were full of resentment, because of Wang Zhongzheng's identity, they couldn't say anything. I had to swallow my anger and maintain a relationship that wasn't too harmonious.

Wang Zhongzheng muttered to Liu Renliang behind his back: "Look, it's not bad at all, the generals in the northwest only know the King of Qin, not the official family, it's a big rebellion!" ”

"Yes, yes, or don't you want to punish them for their crimes?" Liu Renliang is only submissive. He is a person who is good at flattery. He knew that Wang Zhongzheng was a close confidant of the official family. Such a person would not dare to offend. Instead, it is necessary to tie up more.

"That's not good, now that we are fighting, it is the time to employ people, how can we easily move them? Moreover, although they have different intentions, they do not act in any wrongdoing. Wang Zhongzheng's voice was treacherous, and he said in a strange manner: "What we have to do now is to pay attention to observe and collect evidence of their misdeeds." ”

"Yes. The subordinates will be careful. "The military generals of the Song Dynasty have no status, and it is true that they can't hold their heads up in front of Wenchen, but in front of eunuchs, it is really rare to be so humble. I have to say that Liu Renliang is really a shameless wonder!

Wang Zhongzheng said: "Although they can't be punished for their crimes at present, it is still necessary to beat them." ”

"Yes, you have to give them a head start, lest they think they've won two battles and don't know what their last name is." Liu Renliang immediately echoed.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhongzheng summoned the generals. It was announced that it would speed up and conquer Yanzhou before October and a half. It's the middle of September. In a month's time, conquer the outer cities of Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Shizhou, etc., and then break through Yanzhou, a military town in the eastern part of Western Xia?

Is it possible?

Everyone inevitably questioned in their hearts, feeling that the new Wang Zhongguan was a little anxious. It's so ambitious, it's unrealistic!

As the original commander of the East Route Army, Zhi Kexing persuaded him: "Prince, Yinzhou and Xiazhou are both important towns in Western Xia, so you can't be in a hurry, it's better to follow the steps and fight steadily." ”

"Soldiers, noble and fast!" Wang Zhongzheng said unhappily: "It's late autumn now, and in a short time, the cold winter in the northwest is coming. When the time comes, it will not be conducive to our army's war, will it be possible to return in vain?

Besides, now that the Tangut people have taken the initiative to retreat, weren't there still a few military villages that fled a few days ago and took the initiative to surrender? It seems that the Tangut people are frightened, and our army is like a rainbow, and it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

"It's right to chase after victory, it's only a month, it's too hasty!" He is highly respected, and his words still carry some weight.

But Wang Zhongzheng didn't take it seriously at all, and asked rhetorically: "How do you know if you haven't tried?" Is the general not confident in himself? Or are you afraid of the Tanguts? ”

"Fearless!" Chong Ge was immediately furious, and because of Wang Zhongzheng's identity, he couldn't hold back and didn't break out on the spot.

"Since you are fearless, then bravely rush towards the Tangut people!" Wang Zhongzheng said in a strange manner: "In this way, General Chong will attack Yinzhou for many days, so let's continue to attack the city, General Zhe is responsible for clearing the Western Xia forces on the periphery, and this general will directly lead the army to attack Shizhou and Xiazhou."

Ben hopes that on the day of conquering Xiazhou, General Chong will be able to take Yinzhou? Otherwise, the Qingjian City Seed Army will be in vain! ”

This remark could not be said to be vicious, and Chong Mo suddenly became furious, and said indignantly: "Okay, Chong Mou looks forward to the prince conquering Xia Zhou as soon as possible." ”

Wang Zhongzheng, I don't care what kind of expression you can put on me.

Zhi Kexing felt that Wang Zhongzheng was a little ashamed. Even if you besiege Yinzhou and block the reinforcements here, can you conquer Xiazhou quickly? 0

I don't want to, Xiazhou is the capital of the five states that was difficult in the past, and it is the land of Longxing in Western Xia, the city is tall and heavily guarded, how can it be easily conquered?

A month, great! If you can't capture the city at that time, you will look good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although the transmission of intelligence in Western Xia was not as fast as that of the Song army, it could also play some roles.

The disagreement between the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the king of Qin was naturally known, and recently Liang Yibury learned that the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent Wang Zhongzheng to help in the war. Wang Zhong had been stationed on Huanqing Road before, and he also knew something.

Can two factions that are not in harmony work together and fight together? Liang Yibury couldn't help but sneer. He soon realized that this was a good opportunity, and if he could take advantage of it, it could be a breakthrough in the war on the Eastern Front.

Although the walls have been cleared, they are even prepared for the worst to lose all the land south of the Yellow River. But Liang Yibury is also worried, what if he can't drag Song Jun to death? Liang He has been sent from Xiao Pass to attack Guanzhong, but the effect is not yet known. (Liang He was ambushed, and Liang Yi buried it is not yet known.) ）

Although this is all a strategic strategy, the territory is only temporarily abandoned. As long as the Song army ran out of food and grass, it would inevitably retreat, and Western Xia could take advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive. Retaking the land can even push the border line forward by some distance.

However, the Xingqing Mansion was really unstable, and the party nobles were very dissatisfied with their retreat, thinking that he had lost the country, and the criticism and accusations against him were very serious. Empress Dowager Liang struggled to suppress the situation, and she was about to lose control of the situation.

There is no way, there is strong public opinion pressure behind it. Liang Yiburi had to consider carrying out a counteroffensive of a certain scale to boost morale, and at the same time give an explanation to the party nobles and stabilize the domestic situation.

There was a fierce battle on Weizhou's side, and Liu Changzuo's 80,000 troops were under the city. It's good to be able to hold the city, and it's basically impossible to counterattack.

On the Eastern Front, although there are famous generals such as Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge. But with the addition of Wang Zhongzheng, everything has become chaotic, and there is a great chance to win in chaos.

Especially when he heard that Wang Zhongzheng intended to capture Xiazhou and Yanzhou within a month, Liang Yizhu suddenly felt that the opportunity had come! (To be continued......)
