Yanjing, among the Yongding army camps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Ping was dressed in military uniform and stood beside the handsome case. On his side are a group of henchmen. Liu Ping frowned, listening to Lu Zhiqiao read the latest spy report sent by the Military Command Espionage Office. Liu Ping said: "This time, the Western Thief and the Fuliao Army started to attack Yunzhou first, but they quickly turned around and crossed Hengshan and attacked Linzhou. Xiao Chong heard that the situation was very urgent. ”

After Lu Zhiqiao finished reading, he said to Liu Ping: "This time the western thief entered the Kou, and there is a Liao army in the middle, and the core figure of the Liao army is the former Liao minister, Yelu Dashi, that is, the big stone Linya!" I heard that this person is thoughtful and talented, and now he can lead a group of former Liao remnants to make things happen in the northwest, which seems to be not to be underestimated. ”

"Humph! No matter how talented he is, it is a capital crime to invade the territory of my Han family. Liu Ping squinted and said.

"That's it, it's just a minister of the dead country, if you really have the strength, why don't you go to those gold thieves for revenge! ~！ It's not our Da Liao! I really thought that our Song people were easy to bully! Niu Gao said viciously.

"Yes! I also think what Niu Manzi said is reasonable, if he can't beat the golden dog, he will bully and sneak attack our Da Song! Let the Sprinkler family catch it, you have to peel this bird alive! Ruda had an angry expression on his face.

"Master Hou! I just listened to what Lord Lu said, this Western thief gathered 100,000 elite soldiers, and was commanded by the Western Xia veteran Wei Mingji. The striker is Helian Hu, when my old Han was still in the Western Army, he also fought with the West Thief countless times, this Wei Mingji is the old treacherous and cunning guy in the West Thief, when Zhang Ji Xianggong and the old Xianggong and this old miscellaneous hair clashed, this old thing is very vicious, and the use of soldiers is also vicious, so we have to guard against it! Han Shizhong arched his hand.

"Not bad! Master Hou, and that Helian Tiger, I Ruda also knew the reputation of that guy, and it was said that he could tear tigers and leopards alive, and he was also a fierce general! Ruda hugged his fists.

"How can it be to increase the morale of others and destroy the prestige of one's own people! But I don't believe that he can stop my big gun, huh! Gotta give him a few transparent holes! The same Yang Zaixing said with a disdainful face.

"Ahem! Although we despise the enemy strategically, we still have to attach importance to him tactically. Liu Ping played a round game. Turning his head to look at Nake, who was looking down, he smiled and said, "Nake." ”

"The old slave is here! What does the lord command? Naco sneered.

"Nake, you used to be a former minister of Liao, you should be no stranger to this big stone Linya! For this big stone Linya, you tell everyone about some of his situations, do you know yourself and the other? We can't face the enemy right away, but we don't even know the slightest bit about the enemy. Liu Ping suddenly turned his head and looked at Nake with a smiling face and said.

Na Ke was named suddenly, and immediately came out of the ranks, revealing an embarrassed face, although he said that he had been an official in the Liao people, everyone knew it, but he was turned out by Liu Ping, but he had an embarrassed expression, but he also said: "Lord, Na Ke was also on an errand when the Liao State was not destroyed, and he was also in Dashi Linya, oh no, it was Yelu Dashi's subordinates who had been a few days, to say that this Yelu Dashi was also a pillar of Da Liao at that time, and he was also a royal family among the Liao people, and he was quite powerful, in Shangjing, in addition to the Great Liao Emperor, This is the Jerod stone. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Tianzuo didn't trust Dashi, and was afraid that he would be able to shake the lord with his high merits, maybe that Da Liao would be able to survive for a few more years, and it was that Yelu Dashi who had been squeezed out, so after Shangjing was broken, Yelu Dashi fled with a part of the remnants. I thought he would die in the chaos, but I didn't think that he would make peace with the Xixia people again. This person has a vicious mind, and he is also very talented in leading the army, and he is a hero-like figure. Surely there will be no remnants of begging and the Tangut people! ”

"Hmm, so this Fuliao army is not completely monolithic compared to the Western thieves. So they are only temporarily because they want to occupy the land of my Great Song Dynasty to put together, each has their own attention, the western thieves have coveted the northwest border of my Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and they have long thought about it, and the lost dog Yelu Dashi also dreams of biting a piece of meat on the Great Song Dynasty, so as to slowly strengthen himself and make his own dream of reviving the Great Liao. Hehe, they all have their own plans. It seems that we still have a chance! Liu Ping said with a smile.

"That is, who has our Yongding Army been afraid of, if he is an iron bone, our Yongding Army can also break him! Chew it, chew it, eat it, dry and wipe it clean! Niu Gao laughed.

"Hey! That is, we are not afraid of the Jin people, and we are afraid of them Northwest miscellaneous hair! The chief teacher let them know that the realm of our Great Song Dynasty is not something that they can worry about! Yang Zaixing also said on the side.

"Yes! Everyone's will to fight is still very good! With this energy, none of us are afraid! Zhang Jun, tell me about the situation and strategy of the Linzhou attack. Liu Ping said suddenly.

As Zhang Jun, who has always played the role of defending the city in the Yongding Army, was also very unexpectedly arranged by Liu Ping to be among the generals who went to the northwest, and as the main general. Everyone looked up at Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Master Hou, our current location is Yanjing, which is more than two thousand miles away from Linzhou Mansion, and if the army marches forward, even if the cavalry arrives first, it will take about ten days to arrive." According to the espionage and the Western Army's informant, there were about 3,000 soldiers of the Western Army besieged in Linzhou Prefecture, and about 40,000 Western thieves besieged the city. The rest of the Western Thieves were entangled in the Xihe Army and the Qilan Folding Army, and according to the wire report, in addition to the fierce offensive of the enemy attacking Linzhou, the rest of the divisions seemed to be very ordinary fighting, or even just a confrontation, relatively cutting off the vein of the various units of the Western Army rushing to each other's aid, so it can be seen that the commander of the Western Thief does use troops very highly, but this is exactly the place where the last general is very suspicious, Linzhou Mansion is a city that must be passed after Hengshan, since the danger of Hengshan has passed, It stands to reason that no matter how much the price is paid, it is to take the Linzhou Mansion, so condescendingly, the entire northwest is in hand, but the Western Xia army is besieging but not breaking. That's a bit of a stretch. Even the last general suspected that the reason why the Linzhou Mansion was not breached seemed to be intentional by the Western Thieves. ”

After Zhang Jun finished speaking, everyone was silent, and Liu Ping said lightly: "Boying, do you know how many people there are in the Western Army's Qin Feng and Jingyuan?" ”

Bo Ying is Zhang Jun's cousin, after Liu Ping asked, Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "Although my subordinates can't know much about it, but think about it, there are more than 30,000 people." ”

"Old Han, you also know about the Western Army, how many people do you say there are in these two departments?" Liu Ping said to Han Shizhong.

"Well, in the Western Army, the two most elite Qin Feng and Jingyuan are on the two roads, and those who are shaving empty salaries must have at least this number!" Han Shizhong said on the side. Stretch out five fingers.

"You see, Linzhou Mansion, but only two or three thousand western troops, why was it surrounded by western thieves but not annihilated, it is because there is a small kind of prince in the city! As long as he is alive, the elite of the Western Army on the periphery will have no backbone, and they only want to rescue Linzhou, and the army of Western thieves who are on the same page as the various departments will slowly eat the Western Army that will be rescued in the future through encirclement and cannibalization. Encircled the point to send reinforcements, and each broke through. Hey, what a ploy! Liu Ping said.

When everyone heard what Liu Ping said, they nodded one after another, according to the current situation, it is indeed very similar to what Liu Ping said.

Liu Ping smiled: "I also guess, everything is still based on reality." ”

Han Shizhong said: "Master Hou's analysis is also very reasonable. If you follow your analysis, then this time the Northwest is really dangerous. ”

"Therefore, this time, we rushed to the northwest, which is to approach Linzhou and disrupt the deployment of the western thieves with a surprise army. Moreover, I believe that there will be news from Bianliang soon, and it will definitely not be our only support. At that time, I am afraid that the entire northwest will be in a mess. Therefore, after arriving in Linzhou, a quick solution is our biggest advantage! Liu Ping said.

"Understood!" The generals responded one after another.

"What's wrong with the heavy grain and grass?" Liu Pingdao.

"All kinds of ordnance and grain have been prepared!" Naco dodged out of the ranks.

"Well, what about the sergeant mobilization?" Liu Pingdao.

"This time, one-third of the combat strength of the battalion will be transferred. In addition to the Modao Army, cavalry, archers, spearmen, and several large battalions, there are also 5,000 new recruits newly equipped with defense, supplemented by the ranks, a total of 12,000 people! Lin Chong on the side said respectfully.

"Yes." Liu Ping nodded. I listened to some opinions on the offensive and synthesized some good suggestions. Finally, the date of departure was set, and the council was dismissed. When everyone left, Lu Zhiqiao came over and looked at Liu Ping, as if he had something to say. ’

"Wen Yuan, isn't there anything else?" Liu Pingdao.

"There's one more thing, indeed." Lu Zhiqiao said on the side.

"Oh? What's the matter? Liu Ping said.

"According to the report, in addition to the invasion of the western thieves this time, and the remnants of the Liao State are in turmoil, there is also a force mixed in it." Lu Zhiqiao hesitated.

"What force?" Liu Pingdao.

"Mingjiao, Deng Yuanjue." Lu Zhiqiao said.

"Mingjiao, Deng Yuanjue?! Hum! It's really pervasive! Liu Ping had a sneer on his face.

"The dark line sent by our Commander Zhang Da reported that this time the Ming Sect members also seem to be ready to move in the land south of the Yangtze River." Lu Zhiqiao said.

"In the past, there were gold thieves messing up the land, and now there are western thieves and the Fuliao army messing up the northwest, and then fishing in troubled waters and causing trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, this Deng Yuanjue is really going to pick time."

"Forget it, ignore them for now, wait until the northwest is stabilized, and then talk about other things!" Liu Pingdao. In my heart, I thought of Fang Jinzhi, and it seemed that I couldn't get rid of Mingjiao.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ping said again: "I always have a faint feeling that this matter is a little strange. I think we should take precautions, Wenyuan! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Lu Zhiqiao said.

"You repair a letter to Li Xiang, remind him to pay attention to the recent movements in Jiangnan Province, if the big turbans of Bianliang can be sober, they should be prevented, even if there is violence! If something happens, the local garrison can also be of some use. Liu Ping said.

"Good! I'm going to write it! Lu Zhiqiao hurriedly responded, turned around and left.

Liu Ping stood in the tent by himself. muttered: "I'm still a little anxious, what can I do, if I have everything, I won't worry." There are also golden people staring at me, do they think it is easy for me to send troops under pressure! Lao Tzu just needs time now! With that, he slammed his fist on the table next to him, shaking the entire Northwest Frontier Army's defense sand table into chaos.
