When Wang Shaoxi River opened, all the land of Longyou was collected, and more than 100,000 Qiang people were obtained, Longyou was one of the traditional war horse production areas, and most of the Qiang people who belonged to the Great Song Dynasty were still nomadic, and the dilemma of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty had been improved.

But it's only a little better.

During the period of Shenzong, in order to develop cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi had implemented the horse protection law, the general content of the horse protection law is that the imperial court provides horse breeds, and the people raise them to offset the original burden, the horse died, no matter what the reason, the people have to be responsible for compensation, this law has great drawbacks, not only has little effect, once there is an epidemic, it will lead to the bankruptcy of a large number of horse households.

Cavalry is an offensive class and an expensive service, and it costs at least four infantry to raise one cavalry.

When Sima Guang came to power at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the old party practiced a policy of good-neighborliness and friendship with the outside world, so it was naturally reluctant to develop such an expensive offensive type of armed forces.

However, due to the great drawbacks of the original law on protecting horses, the new party has not repeated it since it came to power again. It was from the Divination Department that he got fifty or sixty thousand war horses, but compared to the million army of the Great Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of war horses were just a drop in the bucket, and Xianghuanzhou was at the forefront of the fight against Western Xia, and originally only had 2,000 cavalry.

Last time, in order to appease Yang Yi, the imperial court pulled out two thousand war horses. In addition, including the battle of Mengyun Valley, Huanzhou successively won nearly 30,000 war horses from Western Xia. Most of them were put on the top, but Yang Yi still intercepted more than 5,000 horses with both soft and hard. Nearly half of them were given to the people of Huanzhou to raise, and the rest were in the hands of the Huanzhou Army.

Considering Liu Laohu's mobility and attack power after entering Western Xia, Yang Yi sent those "mechanized infantry" to Chongpu this time, and the two thousand veteran cavalry in Huanzhou were given to Liu Laohu.

And the head given to Liu Laohu has been relieved, and the only requirement is to let him go to Xixia and keep cutting people! Chop! Chop! Chop!

Liu Laohu naturally will not waste this hard-won preferential policy, as soon as he rushed over Hengshan, he screamed and went west to kill, after the dog/mother raised out of the cage, he didn't ignore Yang Yi's vague suggestion, and did not go east to find an opportunity to rob Renduo Baozhong's grain road, but the wind went to the west, and the Weizhou defenders had not yet reacted, he had already swept over, and went straight to Tiandu Mountain.

Didn't Empress Dowager Liang squat in Tiandu Mountain to play containment? Lao Tzu let you slowly contain it! Don't move too soon!

A ruthless person is a ruthless person!

He has 2,000 men and horses, and the 150,000 troops of the Empress Dowager Liang are waiting in Tiandu Mountain, even if this number is a little watery, there are always 100,000, right?

He killed 2,000 men and horses! The smoke and dust are billowing everywhere, and it is even more ruthless than the Mongolian army in the future, and no one ...... when they see people killing people Kill the sheep!

Western Xia once again suffered from the concentration of troops in the past, and Yang Yi sent two thousand cavalry this time, which was carefully considered, not impulsively.

If there are too many people, it is difficult to ensure strong mobility.

The number of people is too small, and there is not enough lethality and assault power, and a few hundred people from Western Xia may be dragged down.

Two thousand men and horses are just right, the Xia army wants to encircle and suppress on the grassland, at least two to three times as many people and horses, and the hinterland of Western Xia now does not have such a strong force except for some big cities, and when you are dispatched from elsewhere, as long as Liu Laohu is not stupid, he will not wait for you there!

I heard that Liu Laohu's 2,000 men and horses were killed all the way to the vicinity of Tiandu Mountain, and the Empress Dowager Liang was so angry that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and it was the Huanzhou Army! It's Yang Yi again! Why does this person always come to touch the tiger's butt?

Empress Dowager Liang was furious, and sent Ye Lijie to lead 10,000 horses to encircle and suppress Liu Laohu, and strictly ordered not to let go of this dish sent to the door.

At the same time, she ordered the camp to be raised, and she personally led more than 100,000 troops to kill Huanzhou.

Empress Dowager Liang made such a decision, not all out of anger to raise troops, since Yang Yi arrived in Huanzhou, the Western Xia has not been born in peace, attacking Huanzhou can not only relieve the momentum of the moment, strengthen the army, but also echo with the east of Renduo Baozhong, win more fighters. Therefore, the famous Western Xia general Wei Ming Ah Wu did not object.

The army of more than 100,000 people stretched for dozens of miles and rolled forward, and the smoke and dust raised covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was so great that it was more powerful than the sandstorms blowing up in the desert.

Don't look at Empress Dowager Liang as a female, don't look at her age, this is the second time that Empress Dowager Liang has led an army of more than 100,000 to personally conquer. If the Great Song Dynasty puts aside Taizu Taizong, there is really no emperor who can compare to her! Although, last time she was beaten by Zhang Ji and her pants fell off.

Failure is the mother of success, and this is not the same as in the past! With the experience of the last time, and this time it was Liaoxia attacking the Song Dynasty at the same time, the Empress Dowager Liang was full of ambition this time, vowing to keep up with the idol in her heart, if you ask the Empress Dowager Liang who is the idol, the Empress Dowager Liao who forced Emperor Zhenzong to sign the alliance of the Yuanyuan - Xiao Yanyan is also!

But obviously, Empress Dowager Liang didn't realize one thing, Xiao Yanyan is not everyone can learn it!

Imagine what kind of wrist Xiao Yanyan has, her mother-in-law and her mother's family, sons and lovers, brothers and subordinates, who were trained by Xiao Yanyan to be called a harmony, relying on this harmony to push the Liao Kingdom to the most glorious peak, and even Wu Zetian is not as good as her in this regard.

Looking back at how the Empress Dowager Liang got Xixia, her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family got into a mess, and the eight party departments were torn apart, hated each other and annexed each other, and the whole mess was messy and smoky, so I still want to learn from Xiao Yanyan, save it!

When 10,000 horses were brought to Huanzhou by Yang Yi, those generals who were as close to Yin Ce as Lu Yun were all eliminated by Yang Yi, first go to Huanzhou City to lead the city defense army, Huanzhou nearly 20,000 Baojia Township soldiers are lacking generals, in short, this battle is lost, you can't be hurt, and if you win, you will be guaranteed a lot of your credit.

Yang Yi still has a set of buying military hearts, just arrived outside the city of Huanzhou, the roadside has been full of sandwiches to welcome the people, boiled eggs, pancakes, steamed buns, the same stuffed into the hands of the soldiers, the eldest girl, the little daughter-in-law held flowers and fruits, with tears in their eyes to thank them for coming to defend Huanzhou and protect the people.

After the grand welcome ceremony, Yang Yi took them to the martyr's cemetery in the north of the city, stood in front of the statue of Er Mazi, and talked about the heroic deeds of Er Mazi and others during the First World War in Mengyun Valley.

Under a series of measures, coupled with Yang Yi's own strong appeal, his record of winning big victories again and again made the soldiers believe that they would be able to make contributions by following him.

By the time Yang Yi ordered them to drive to the northern border, these 10,000 soldiers were already majestic, and they regarded death as home.

Yin Ce can be described as persevering this time, chasing Huanzhou but not catching up, and then chasing Hongdezhai, angrily breaking into Yang Yi's handsome tent, splitting his head and covering his face: "Yang Yi! You are simply bold and lawless, without the permission of this envoy, you transferred troops to Dunyan Road without authorization, and even transferred the Gyeongju garrison army without authorization, ignoring the thousands of people in Gyeongju, let me ask you, are you an envoy or am I an envoy? Say! ”

Yin Ce blew his beard and glared, slapping Yang Yi's handsome table with a loud noise, Yang Yi's eyes were quick, and he brought the tea on the table to his hand, he was a little funny, stood up and replied amiably: "Yin Jingluo, please calm your anger, can you listen to me finish speaking?" ”

"Good! You say, this official wants to see how you drum up your three-inch incorruptible tongue, if you don't tell this official why come, this official will have to deal with you this time! ”

"Yin Jingluo said that I am bold, I have to admit this, this kills too much, I will always be bolder, slow down! Slow down! Yin Jingluo, please be patient and listen to the next official's words! ”

Yang Yi saw that Yin Ce was about to go away again, so he hurriedly said to the governor, and waited for Yin Ce to sneer and wait, before he continued: "As for saying that I am lawless, the lower official does not agree with this, the lower official is under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road, and has the right to dispatch the soldiers and horses of this road, and now the lower official is just exercising his own powers." ”

"But as a rule, you have to consult the official, have you consulted the official? Has the officer agreed to your transfer? ”

"This time Yin Jingluo, you can blame the lower officials, the lower officials went to Gyeongju to transfer troops, first went to the Shuai Division to ask Yin Jingliu for you, at that time your staff Yin Zhuo said that he didn't know where you went, this office time, Yin Jingluo didn't even sit in the office, the lower officials are really strange, but the military situation is like fire, and the lower officials dare not slack off! I had to send out the troops and horses first! Dare to ask Yin Jingluo, what's wrong with this? ”

Yang Yi's words were tantamount to saying that he was derelict in his duties, and Yin Ce was countered by him, and he smiled angrily: "The military situation is like fire? You dragged the army outside Huanzhou City to purge the generals, and what kind of martyr cemetery did you worship, why don't you see the military situation like fire? Even if this official has never come back for a while, why don't you wait a while, you are clearly despising Shangguan! Wild! ”

Yang Yi's patience finally ran out, his face turned cold, and he retorted sharply: "The 100,000 Xia army is attacking Mizhi, isn't this a military situation?" The four roads in the northwest were originally one, and Yan Yan Road asked for help twice, but Yin Jingluo turned a blind eye, what is the reason? Could it be that if we sit and watch the fall of Yanyan Road, will our Huanqing Road be spared? ”

Yang Yi didn't wait for Yin Ce to refute, smashed a military report into his arms and shouted: "And this!" Empress Dowager Liang's 150,000 troops have passed through Weizhou and rushed straight to Huanqing Road, is this considered a military situation? When this soldier was in danger, Yin Jingluo didn't sit on an errand, what is the reason? Could it be that when the Xia army leveled the Huanqing Road, Yin Jingluo thought that the military situation was like fire? ”

Yin Ce looked at the military report, and sure enough, it was 150,000 Xia troops coming straight to Huanqing Road, and he was in a trance, and he was forced to be speechless by Yang Yi, and the expression on his face changed.

Yang Yi slammed the teacup on the table, and said with an expressionless face: "There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeongju, and tens of thousands of strong men and armor, at this time, Lord Yin should go back as soon as possible to gather men and horses, prepare to clear the wilderness, and deal with the upcoming war!"

If the logistics can't keep up, after the fall of Huanzhou, this gap will be opened, and the Renduo Baozhong of Mizhi will definitely attack together; Lord Yin weighed it himself, whether Gyeongju could withstand the 250,000 army of Western Xia! The military situation is like fire, and the lower officials still have a lot of things to arrange, so I won't be far away! ”

Yang Yi not only gave an eviction order with a cold face, but also threatened to blackmail him!

After Yang Yi put the situation like this, in terms of ordnance, grain and grass, Yin Ce really didn't dare to detain him, although he was at odds with Yang Yi, he also had to admit that Yang Yi was very capable of fighting, if even Yang Yi couldn't withstand it, then he ...... That's 250,000 Xia troops!

Don't think about it, hurry back to Gyeongju! Yin Ce came in a hurry, and he went in a hurry! The bad luck didn't work out, but it was like sending it to the door for people to blackmail, and I don't know how depressed I was!
