Lin Zhao always felt that there was something wrong with Tuoba Shi's attitude, and the focus of Lian Ri's peace talks was always to insist on recognizing Liang Yiburi, and he didn't seem to care much about other conditions. The five-year gift of the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion seems to be the result of bargaining, but what Xixia agreed to was too happy, but it made people suspicious......

Empress Dowager Liang cares about her younger brother, but she can't ignore the interests of other party nobles. Coupled with the previous incident in Suizhou, Lin Zhao knew very well that Empress Dowager Liang might not give up easily. Therefore, if you want to stop the war with a few words, I am afraid that it is not an easy thing, and it is still difficult for the northwest to stabilize......

Just in case, as soon as the peace talks began, Lin Zhao ordered Mingyue Sect to mobilize all forces to collect intelligence, so as to deal with it in advance. Sure enough, there was still something to gain.

"Childe, you really said it, I'm afraid the people of Western Xia won't give up!" Jiang Leiting rushed to report the news to him as soon as possible.

Lin Zhao smiled, sure enough, he was right, but was it lucky or unlucky? It is naturally good to have a good opportunity, but in his bones he still hopes that such an opportunity will not appear, and the flames of war will be burned together. But what can be done? At this point, I can only face it calmly and bravely respond to the battle.

"Tell me about the situation!" To know oneself and the other, you must first understand the other party's situation.

Jiang Leiting said: "There is indeed a large army transfer in Western Xia. ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhao's expression suddenly became much more solemn, and he asked, "Can you find out the movement and the status of the troops?" "Di Qing was born in the Western Army, and the foundation of some of Mingyuezong's strength also relies on the Western Army, and Gongzi has been in the northwest during this time, so Mingyuezong's intelligence network in the Song-Xia border area is still very tight. Act fast. And it works out well, too. I found out a lot of news.

After all. For example, it is difficult to conceal such a thing as the movement of a large army, and it only needs a little attention to detect it, and it can be regarded as impossible to prevent.

"The army that ambushed General Zhe in Jingzhou last time has not moved, there are about 30,000 people, and it is a Jing Rui. There are also 20,000 troops brought by Tuoba Shi when he came, and there have been many signs of army movements in Xiazhou and Yinzhou recently. Jiang Leiting reported the situation in a timely manner.

"Xiazhou and Yinzhou are both important military towns in the five states, and the army is frequently moved. Could it be that you want to do it in the Yanzhou area? ”。 Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, after all, the border between Song and Xia is too long, and it is really difficult to say where he will start.

"It seems that yes, after Gongzi's order, we also paid attention to the Gyeongju area, and there was no sign of army movement. It seems that the main attention of the Western Xia people is still focused on the eastern front! Jiang Leiting hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, there is news that a cavalry is approaching Suizhou. People don't say much, but it is said that it may be...... Probably an iron harrier! ”

During the Two Song Dynasty. There were three cavalry corps that were very famous. It was the Liao State Tielin Army, the Jin State Tiefutu and the Western Xia Iron Harrier, all of whom were famous heavy armored cavalry at that time.

The Iron Harrier was founded by Li Yuanhao, Jingzong of the Western Xia, with only 3,000 people at the beginning, and was the pro-army escort of the Western Xia lord, and it was also used as the "front army" of the charge. This cavalry is well-equipped, riding good horses, heavy armor, and stabbing invulnerable, and twisted with hooks and ropes, although it does not fall on a dead horse. In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will impact it; The infantry marched on horseback.

This cavalry was the most ferocious cavalry in the world before the appearance of the Mongolian iron cavalry that dominated the world, and only the Tielin army of the Liao State could compete with it at that time. In contrast, the Jingsai Army, the only heavy cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, was much worse. Iron Harrier is the jing rui of the Jing Rui in the Western Xia, and it is more like a nightmare for Song Jun.

"The iron harriers are here, are the Tangut people going to break the net?" Lin Zhao was secretly a little frightened.

Jiang Leiting said: "Now that the Empress Dowager Liang is in Suizhou, it is no secret, and it is reasonable to openly send Iron Harriers to respond." It's just that if they arrive, if there is any misconduct, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome! ”

"Guarding the Queen Mother? I don't think so! Li Cheng shook his head and said, "It seems that the Empress Dowager Liang is annoyed and angry!" When Lin Zhao's strange performance in Suizhou City was unknown to others, Li Cheng was aware of it. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something special between Gongzi and Empress Dowager Liang.

Lin Zhao smiled and asked in a deep voice, "If the Western Xia people really want to go to war, what will their goal be?" Or where will the main direction of the attack be? "This is a very critical issue, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, having said that, they also need the direction of the flood, so that the soldiers can be arranged and prepared for defense.

"Fuzhou!"

Looking at the map indicating the transfer of troops in Western Xia, Di Qing was silent for a long time, highlighting these two words.

"Why Fuzhou?"

Di Qing said: "The front of Suizhou is Yanzhou, and the first is Qingjian City. If Suizhou's forces attack and we retreat to Qingjian City, what can they do? There is a kind of family army, and with the ability of the brothers, even if they concentrate an army of 100,000, they will not want to break through the city in a short time. ”

"Well, I have reminded them to be on their guard." Lin Zhao thought so.

"Look at the distribution of Western Xia's forces! The forces of Xiazhou and Yinzhou seem to be moving south, approaching Yanzhou, but they are biased to the southeast, and they can gallop east to help Jingzhou at any time. Di Qing said: "Jingzhou itself has an army of 20,000 people, go all out, get some cheap in Suizhou, and then block the road from Qingjian City to Fuzhou, can it be done?" ”。

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the distribution of forces along the Jin-Shaanxi Gorge was more complicated. Jingzhou, controlled by the Western Xia, protruded to the east, and its sphere of influence was already close to the Yellow River. However, it left a very narrow corridor, to the north is Fuzhou and Linzhou, but the two places belong to the Great Song Dynasty, which is a prominent stronghold of the Yellow River in the Great Song Dynasty.

If the narrow passage along the Yellow River were cut off, Fuzhou and Linzhou would be like an enclave. Although it is connected to Hedong Road across the Yellow River, it is very inconvenient after all, and its military and strategic significance will be greatly reduced.

According to Di Qing's understanding, it is very likely that the Western Xia will attack from Jingzhou, cut off the connection between the Song army and Fuzhou, and then plot against Fuzhou......

Fuzhou is the territory of the eldest brother's Zhe Kexing, and his beloved wife Zhe Wenxin is currently there, Lin Zhao naturally doesn't want anything to go wrong. So I was in a hurry.

"I've already instructed Zhe Ke to do it over there. He'll be on his guard. If the Tangut people want to be satisfied, how can it be so easy! At this point, Lin Zhao had greeted him in advance, at least he would not be caught off guard.

Di Qing looked at the map, was silent for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "In other words, the target of Xixia is Gongzi, and you can also make sense." ”

"Oh? How? Lin Zhao hadn't paid attention to it yet, but Jiang Leiting and Li Cheng were a little nervous. After all, Lin Zhao is their core, and he attaches great importance to it at all times.

This is a good phenomenon, the Iron Mask Sect Master was very satisfied, nodded approvingly, and said, "If the Western Xia army storms Fuzhou, will Gongzi be worried?" Will there be troops to the rescue? When the time comes, the Tanguts can ambush them halfway......"

"Fuzhou should be able to handle it!"

"Can Childe be sure of his senses?" Di Qing's rhetorical question made Lin Zhao a little embarrassed to answer. After all, his previous behavior in Suizhou was very risky, and he had a criminal record.

Di Qing said: "Even if Gongzi can calm down, it can be the other way around." Ruosui Prefecture and Qingjian City were hit hard. Will there be any reaction from the Fuzhou side? Especially Mrs. Fold ......"

The last time Zhe Wenxin was captured, it was because he was eager for quick success. Caused by wanting to help yourself reduce stress. Although there has already been a lesson, there is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen a second time.

"I have a feeling that the ultimate goal of the Empress Dowager Liang is still you, Gongzi!" Di Qing thought so, Li Cheng thought so, and Lin Zhao himself did not dare to object.

"But in the end, where the main attack will be, this can only be speculated at the moment, after all, the changes on the battlefield are changing rapidly." Di Qing said: "But what I want to remind my son today is that you must not be emotional when marching to war!" ”

"Thank you Di Gong, I remembered!"

"Now we are ready, if the Western Xia army is coming, just follow them, and the Mingyue Sect will closely monitor it." Di Qing is completely a rhythm of soldiers coming to block, he is the former commander of the Western Army, such a scene has long been strange, so he responds to it like a stream, very calmly. Di Qing also had a feeling that he had not been seen for a long time, he had been away for a full twenty years, but the feeling at this moment was so familiar, and he was full of emotion for a while.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao smiled lightly: "Di Gong, then I will trouble you this time, how about planning for me?" ”

"Since the son is in charge of the overall situation, Di Qing is planning for the son!" One in front of the stage, one behind the scenes, the cooperation is naturally seamless.

"Remember one thing, try to make more meritorious contributions to the seed master Dao and Liu Changzuo!" Lin Zhao didn't care about the others at all, with Di Qing here, everything could naturally be handled properly.

Di Qing naturally understood that there was finally an opportunity, and it was a good opportunity for Gongzi to win people's hearts. These are all the best generals in the Western Army, and they are all materials that can be made, so he naturally knows the importance of it.

Lin Zhao pondered for a long time and said: "Di Gong, it's right that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but we can't be too passive, it doesn't seem to be a way to let the Xixia people lead the way, why don't we take the initiative?" ”

"Be proactive?" Di Qing comprehended and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Zhao's words. Naturally, it is impossible to strike first, and this kind of thing that is a loss must not be done. Then it can only be anti-guest-oriented, and it is up to your own side to control the rhythm and guide the development of the battle, of course, the purpose is to complete the set goal.

So what is Lin Zhao's goal? Di Qing asked in a deep voice, "What does Gongzi mean?" ”

"Iron Harrier!"

When Lin Zhao spit out these words, even Jiang Leiting and Li Cheng were a little surprised. After all, it was the sharpest army in Western Xia, but the heavy armored cavalry, where did they dare to fight with it? can't dodge, but Lin Zhao's idea of fighting the Iron Harrier is too crazy?

"How? Is it possible? ”。

Everyone else was skeptical, but Di Qing smiled: "It is naturally best for Childe to have this ambition, Qing is very pleased." It's just that if you have to deal with the iron harrier, I'm afraid it's not easy to ......"

"It's a bit whimsical, but it'...... It's not completely out of the question, think of a way to think about it in the long run! Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "If you can let the iron harrier fold in Suizhou, then the blow to the Western Xia is self-evident, I think they will not be able to fight the Great Song Dynasty in a few years, and then we will have the heart to concentrate on managing the northwest!" ”

"That's right, but does Childe have a way?" Li Cheng asked softly.

Lin Zhao smiled and said softly: "It's almost June now, but in the middle of summer, the Iron Harrier is a heavy armored cavalry!" Can this man stand it, can the horse stand it? As long as there is a flaw, we should seize it as soon as possible! Moreover, there are four more words: cut the cavalry up, cut the horse's legs, you should be able to try it, I believe that the Di Guild will deal with it! ”

"What a cavalryman who chops up and chops the horse's legs!" Di Qing immediately applauded, Lin Zhao's indirectness in the military field made him very satisfied, and he also thought that this was a completely feasible way!

It's possible! Lin Zhao smiled, it was not his own idea, but Yue Wumu's experience. In the Battle of Yuncheng, Jin Wushu took the most sharp Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horse of the Jin Kingdom to attack, but was defeated by the Yue family's army, and the tactics used by Yue Fei at that time were exactly this. The Iron Harrier of Western Xia and the Iron Floating Tu of the Jin Kingdom are both heavily armored cavalry, and there is not much difference between them. It may also be useful to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Li Cheng smiled: "What are the chances of winning?" If he wins, then the son will be famous all over the world and admired by the world! ”

To be able to defeat the Iron Harrier was definitely a very shocking thing. It is of great help to a person's reputation and merits, and these are exactly what Lin Zhao needs at the moment.

Lin Zhao smiled: "This is not important, it's just to minimize the threat of Western Xia!" ”

"By the way, in that case, will Liang Yi bury it back?" Li Chengdao: "How about letting him stay in the Great Song Dynasty forever?" He used to plunder on the border, but he didn't do any bad things. ”

Lin Zhao said: "It's all small things, although Liang Yibu is flawed, but in the end, it is the Western Xia Prime Minister, how can he do it if he doesn't put it back?" But if he does not return, the covenant cannot be signed. Although the conditions are a bit excessive, we have to agree, otherwise if the peace talks fail, we will be honest. Bianjing is staring at us, and we can't give anyone an excuse now! ”

"Not only that, only if Liang Yi is buried, the Western Xia people will be at ease, and the Empress Dowager Liang will send troops!" Jiang Leiting said: "This is also the reason why Xixia made compromises and reluctantly agreed to the conditions. In this way, they will bear the responsibility for tearing up the peace negotiation covenant, so that we can send troops to fight in the open light! ”

"That's right, that's exactly what happened!" Lin Zhao nodded and said: "I've had to work hard for you recently, it's best to prepare, let's have a good showdown with the Xixia people, let them know how good we are!" (To be continued......)
