Ge Huaimin was the biggest bait in the plan, but it was dangerous. It's best to stay in the first back city, if you go out of the first back city, it may make Yuan Hao unable to eat this bait, but bury himself. It is possible that Yuan Hao will eat this fat bait and escape calmly. Even if he wins, after this battle, he cannot give an account to the imperial court.

Ge Huaimin didn't know.

He doesn't know that either.

Hearing that Yuan Hao's army was rushing directly to Pengyang City, he was at a loss. He did not have the courage to lead 25,000 men to a head-to-head confrontation with 100,000 Western Xia troops. And there is also a warrant from Zheng Lang, asking him not to move in the first back city.

But not what he thought.

All the soldiers thought that Zheng Lang was in Pengyang City, and there were many generals who were noisy. There was a warrant from Zheng Lang, but at that time, Zheng Lang didn't know that the Western Xia army rushed to Pengyang City, and now Jingyuan Road has the most troops in your hands and needs to be rescued.

If Zheng Lang has an accident, you don't want to end up benefiting.

There was no way to quarrel, so I sent troops to the periphery, I don't have enough troops here, you must support my troops. forcibly requisitioned in the name of the deputy governor of Jingyuan Road. really let him squeeze out more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, all of them cavalry. The courage was a little stronger, and when he heard that Pengyang City was burned, Yuan Hao suffered heavy losses, and his courage was even stronger.

But at this time, the Western Xia divided their troops.

Divided an army, went around from Dongshanzhai, and ran to Zhenrong Village, Di Qing sat in Zhenrong Village, but the troops were insufficient, so he had to close the village. Pounced on Liu Fanbao again and attacked with all his might. Liu Fanbao had fewer troops and sent people over to ask for help. Just when Ge Huaimin hesitated, the Tanguts divided another army and launched an attack on Sanchuan Village. And Liu Fanbao's side also transferred troops. The two armies were united and went all out to attack Sanchuan Village.

Ge Huaimin hesitated for a while, thought about it, and decided to fight with the army in the west of Western Xia, with only thirty or forty thousand horses, and the number of troops in his hands was not less than theirs, compared with the previous battles, he had a great chance of winning. Moreover, Sanchuan Village was originally broken by the Western Xia people, when the Zhenrong Village defender Shenwei Army Lord Zhaozhou Thorn Shi Duan was beheaded by the imperial court in Zhenrong Village because he was afraid of war and did not save him.

He will not be beheaded, if Sanchuan Village is broken, Pengyang City is in danger in front, and he has not been rescued, the dismissal will be inevitable, and exile is not impossible.

Led the army to open, with Xiang Jin and Liu Chen as the vanguard, Zhao Yu as reinforcements, entered Anyuan Village overnight, and then arrived at Anbian Village from Anyuan Village, at this time it was very close to Sanchuan Village, just in the south of Zhenrong Village and Sanchuan Village, not far from Erzhai, almost into an equilateral triangle, and the horse bears Zhao persuasion and said: "The enemy is near, not lightly entered." ”

If you want to fight, at least send some scouts to find out the news before you can fight.

Otherwise, you don't even know how many enemy forces there are and where the main forces are, how to start a war? Do you want to end up in the Battle of Mizukawa again?

Ge Huaimin listened.

With Zhao Zheng's advice, the layout behind is still confused.

Ge Huaimin asked the army to slow down, and in the evening they came to the horse raising city southwest of Zhenrong Village. Yangmacheng is only a small fortress and can't accommodate so many people, so Li Zhihe was detained on Jingyuan Road, Li Yue was detained by Zhenrong Army, and Zhao Xun was stationed in the northwest direction of Xilu Patrol, which was only six miles away from Zhenrong Village.

Yuan Hao's army opened.

Pengyang City became a thorn, I didn't fight, and led the army to quickly sweep under the Dongshan Village and enter the northwest of Zhenrong Village.

At that time, the wilderness was full of Western Xia scouts, and the villages were almost completely isolated in the face of a huge enemy.

However, the simplest point is that there is still a difference between the gathering of hundreds of thousands of troops and the gathering of tens of thousands of troops, and Ge Huaimin still does not know. I only know that part of Yuan Hao's army is in the north, gathering the generals to discuss. There is another person, Di Qing. Ge Huaimin was not summoned, at this time, the entire Song army and Zhenrong Village were almost connected as a whole, and it was easy to summon them. There was no call, this was selfishness, and even Ge Huaimin thought that Di Qing had robbed him of all his credit.

Di Qingli's exploits were all his. If there is no such person, Zheng Lang can only use himself, then he will make equal military exploits, even more brilliant than Di Qing.

Not only did Di Qing not summon, but not a single soldier in Zhenrong Village came over.

There is no hope, Zhenrongzhai has too few troops at this time to be useful.

Then an idea came to mind, the enemy was tossing and turning, it was a tired army, and we attacked at dawn.

Zhao Xun was a little distracted when he heard this. According to the normal way of fighting, the enemy came from afar, lacked supplies, and did not know how much enemy grain and grass Zhang Fangping burned over there, as long as he used Zhenrong Village, as well as these large armies in his hands, he began to form a fence from Yangma City to choke his way, and each village held on, even if one or two villages were broken, the enemy division was old, and tens of thousands of troops attacked, at least a small victory could be obtained. Otherwise, if you are forced by the enemy to Dingchuan and cut off the waterway, you will definitely be slaughtered.

didn't say it, I can only praise Zheng Lang's wisdom. Sure enough, Ge Huaimin will use similar techniques to treat tens of thousands of troops as if they were playing with each other.

In this way, labor pains are there and necessary.

I finally understood in my heart why Zheng Lang didn't reuse Ge Huaimin, this guy didn't know anything at all, I don't know how those bigwigs in the capital said that he was handsome, and even His Majesty brought Cao Wei's robe and put it on for him personally.

I don't understand.

But some generals also saw that it was a stupid way and did not agree very much. At this moment, the scouts came in again to report that an army from the enemy's east road set out for Dingchuan, and the army that had besieged Sanchuanzhai marched to the northeast to Zhaofubao (northwest of Guyuan).

Ge Huaimin ignored everyone's controversy and gave the order. The soldiers were divided into four routes, Liu Zhanxiang entered and exited Xishuikou, Zhao Xun went out of Lotus Fort, Cao Ying and Li Zhihe went out of Liu Fanbao, and he himself went out of Dingxi Fort. Out of Xishuikou is to rescue Zhaofu Fort, out of Dingxi Fort and Lotus Fort is to rescue Dingchuan Village, out of Liu Fanbao is Liu Fanbao and a Western Xia army continues to attack Liu Fanbao. But Zhao Xun really couldn't figure it out, the enemy had a huge force, why could he still divide his troops?

What kind of ability can you have to divide your troops into four ways?

Ge Huaimin was afraid of the enemy before, but at this time, he was so bold?

I don't understand, I secretly gave Wang Ji a look, so far, Ge Huaimin has not called Wang Ji, this is Zheng Lang's number one cronie, deliberately asked for it from Fulin Road, I can't believe it, I don't give up and don't need it.

Wang Ji nodded secretly.

When it was time for Jian Jian to arrive, he had to take out Zheng Lang's warrant and forcibly remove Ge Huaimin's military power.

That's it, it's like dancing on the tip of a knife, which makes this Ge Dashao play Wang Ji's heart is shocked.

Liu Zhan and Xiang marched into Zhaofu Fort, in the northwest of Zhenrong Village, encountered the enemy of Western Xia, they were mostly Fan soldiers, but the enemy was strong, the battle was unfavorable, and retreated to Xiangjiaxia. did not play a surprise role, but sacrificed hundreds of soldiers.

Zhao Xun, Cao Ying, Li Liangchen and Meng Yuan led the army to rescue Dingchuan, and as soon as they left, Ge Huaimin's order came, asking them to reroute to rescue Zhao Fubao. It's a mess, I don't know what Ge Huaimin is doing. After the war, the fold was presented to Zhao Zhen, who watched it for most of the day, he didn't understand military affairs, and he didn't figure out what Ge Huaimin meant by using soldiers. At this time, the Western Xia people pressed the forces of Dingchuan Village to the southeast, and the forces of Zhao Fubao to the southwest. Since Xiangjiaxia, Shengsheng cut off the Song army from Zhenrong Village and confronted Xiangjiaxia. Yuan Hao finally achieved his strategic goal and successfully isolated the Song Dynasty in the area of Dingchuan.

……

Wu Hao wrote a letter, and there was another plan on the letter. The Western Xia forces have the absolute upper hand, and if they send a force and quickly go south, the city of Weizhou will be empty at this time, and it will definitely be able to conquer it. It would be more appropriate to put some pressure on him to divide some troops from Weizhou City.

Originally, he wanted to come to the rear to join forces, but he thought that only three or four thousand people would join him on this trip, and it was estimated that it would not be a big deal, only one hundred or dozens of people poured into the city, and the destruction was almost the same, he did not believe that one hundred or dozens of people would turn Weizhou City upside down, so he gave up.

The rebellion in the rear was to sabotage Zheng Lang's surrender strategy, to make the surrender and relocation of households and the local people have hatred, and the other is to divide the hearts of the soldiers in the front. This plan is similar to the effect of Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou, if something happens in the rear, the soldiers in front will inevitably be distraught. If you want to achieve Lu Meng's effect, I'm afraid you can't. It had to be a big army. And he has already arranged it, and he can't wait for the army to arrive.

MeSign is issued.

I won't say it to Wei Mingwei.

Then stayed here with Wei Mingwei, and rebelled in several places, only Wei Mingwei had the most people who participated in the event, so Wu Hao attached great importance to it. There is also a sense of security, there are many people, and I can rest assured. The more people like him, the more afraid of death.

It seems to have been a success.

At this moment, Zhang and Zhang Li returned from Weizhou City and reported a better news to Wei Mingwei.

They begged for supplies in the city, and accidentally met a Song army leader, who was also a local fanzi. This person is in charge of the military depot in the southeast, but has a drawback, he likes to gamble for money. Zhang captivated Zhang Li's brothers and did all kinds of evil, and they were also good at gambling. The three of them participated in gambling and lost a lot of money to the Zhang brothers. I don't know if it will work, but the Zhang brothers feel that it is an opportunity, and they use a reason to return to report.

Wu Haohu looked at the Zhang brothers suspiciously.

Wei Mingwei made an introduction.

Their surname was Zhang, but they were authentic party members and were also among the prisoners of war.

After Wei Mingwei was released from Weizhou, the Zhang brothers immediately came to defect, but they were still Wei Mingwei's subordinates, and Wei Mingwei's subordinates had many soldiers and did not know them. But at that time, Wei Mingwei was in a panic in his heart, and when he heard them defecting, he happily accepted them.

The two brothers did a lot for Wei Mingwei.

But the surname is very bad, he likes to fight and gamble, he was arrested by the officials, and he was about to be punished heavily, but Wei Mingwei pleaded hard before he released the Zhang brothers.

It's hard to say who is kind to whom, and let's help each other in a "foreign country".

However, the Zhang brothers have a bad surname, but they are very capable, including the prisoners of war who have made great contributions, and are Wei Mingwei's important henchmen in Panyuan. And they defected to Wei Mingwei very early, at the end of last year, they defected to Wei Mingwei, you can definitely rest assured.

"If something big happens, I will definitely protect you in front of Your Majesty." Wu Hao said.

"Thank you Wu Shangshu," the Zhang brothers were overjoyed.

The people of the Song Dynasty hated Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao for a big pimple, but in fact, the two of them were not top ministers in the Shuli Center of Western Xia, and their status was not as good as Yang Shousu, who was released by Zhao Zhen. But it can also be called a celebrity in front of Yuan Hao, he has to be promoted, once he returns to Western Xia, he will have glory and wealth.

Seeing the flattery on the faces of the two, Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart. He knew in his heart that these people were all acting as cannon fodder, and even himself, if he didn't do well, he might let Yuan Hao be used as cannon fodder. Putting aside this thought, he continued to ponder and said, "You can't always win, you have to lose. Not to lose, this person is not motivated. ”

"Why lose?"

"You don't have to worry about the money, the commander of the name, you allocate a batch of money from the account and give it to them, so that they can lose. No, they can't lose, it will make the other side suspicious, it's better to send one more person and let them continue to win small, and the latter loses big. ”

"My subordinates know."

"Why is that?" The Zhang brothers did not react.

"Approaching the arsenal, where is there that kind of gunpowder?"

"Yes, it seems a little far away."

"Find a way to sneak in and ignite the gunpowder...... "After thinking for a while, he said: "Wei Mingwei, you send some more people to sneak into the city, and sneak into the Zheng family before igniting those gunpowders, do you know what to do?" ”

"My subordinates know."

Wei Mingwei arranged Wu Hao and entered the city again, we are not here to do annihilation, but to ask for supplies. It just happened that the new general sentence was changed, no matter how capable this Yin Su was, he was definitely not familiar with all the affairs of Weizhou City during this time.

In fact, Yoon-so was also messed up at this time.

Pengyang City was finally saved, and it was reported that Zheng Lang and Han Qi were not in Pengyang City. But where they are, no one knows.

All the way to the east, the Xixia withdrew their troops, and the road news was unimpeded. Because of the pressure of the Western Xia army, all the news was blocked, including Zhenrong Village, there was no news at this time. I just vaguely felt that Ge Huaimin's more than 30,000 troops had entered an encirclement.

came to Zheng's house again.

For Yin Su, Cui Xian, like Zheng Lang, may not necessarily like it, but can only have a headache. Although the articles are written in a variety of ways, the better these people write their articles, the more they cannot be offended. Instructed Jiang Xing'er to bring the best tea leaves and make tea for Yin Su.

Xu Xu said: "Shi Lu, what is the matter with coming this time?" ”

"I want to know the exact whereabouts of Xingzhi and Zhigui."

"The concubine really doesn't know."

"Cui Niangzi, I am not an enemy, there is no need to hide it. Now that the army is pressing the border, the two defense envoys don't know where they are, how can I rest assured? ”

"Shi Lu, each serving his duties, your duty is to pass the judgment, the official is not there, you have to preside over the civil affairs in his place, as well as the city change, keep the territory stable, the military concubines in front don't know, but knowing that you suddenly came to take over the affairs of Weizhou City, the officials will not know, and there will be no plans for you."

What the hell are you doing with this heart?

Yoon-so was a little angry and said, "At least I want to know their exact whereabouts." ”

"The concubine really doesn't know." Cui Xian also asked him to say that he was in a hurry.

Yin Su couldn't be in a hurry with a woman's family, so he left Zheng's house, thought about it, and wrote to ask Zhang Fangping. If you stay in Pengyang City, then you must know the whereabouts of Zheng Lang and Han Qi.

Wei Mingwei came to Weizhou City again to ask him for supplies.

Yin Zhu is very impatient, none of you Western Xia people are good things, if it weren't for the fear of messing up Zheng Lang's ethnic policy, Yin Zhu would like to move them to Sanbaiqu to participate in labor. What are they, instead of beheading you to show the public, they became my uncle!

angrily sent Wei Mingwei out.

But these people are still staying in the city of Weizhou.

Yoon so didn't care, the war was the most important thing at this time, and the duty of the rear was to pacify. If it is not handled properly, a revolt will break out in the rear, which will have a cumulative impact on the front-line fighting. He thought farther than Ge Huaimin about this, of course, there were few people in the entire Song Dynasty who were such a living treasure as Ge Huaimin.

They were allowed to stay in the city of Weizhou, but they sent many scouts to keep a close eye on the battle ahead.

Wei Mingwei stayed in Weizhou City and drank to relieve his boredom. This is all pretended, and as a tooth general of Western Xia, he has some ability. Then under the introduction of the Zhang brothers, he met the head of the capital, named Qin Nian, and after talking about it carefully, Wei Mingwei actually found that his ancestor was also a party member.

They are all Han surnames, but Han surnames do not mean that they are Han people, many Qiang people and Dangxiang people have Han surnames, but all the blood of Dangxiang and Qiang people flows in the bloodline, such as the Yang family, and the future Liu family.

When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. It may not be a fellow countryman, but everyone is a party member, so they have a common language.

After saying that, Qin Nian said: "Brother Weiming, since you have returned to our Song Dynasty, change your surname." ”

The surname is still famous, what are you doing? At this time, Wei Mingwei still wanted to return to Western Xia, but Qin Nian stayed in the Song Realm for many years, and his heart was like the Yang family, all towards the Song Dynasty.

Wei Mingwei didn't dare to distinguish and said, "What's my surname?" ”

"The surname Zhao is the best, this is the surname of the heavenly family, without the order of the imperial court, no one dares to give the surname Zhao. Secondly, the surname is Zheng, and many tribes require the surname Zheng, but Zheng Xianggong is not allowed. It's really a good Xianggong, there are many officials sent by the imperial court to Jingyuan Road, except for General Cao Wei, it is Zheng Xianggong who is the best for us Qiang people. ”

Wei Mingwei still didn't dare to distinguish it, and echoed: "Yes, I didn't surrender to death at the beginning, and Zheng Xianggong personally persuaded me to return to the Song Dynasty." ”

Is it worth convincing in person? But Zheng Lang didn't even know where Yin Su was at this time, and who would break his lie.

"That's what you have to do, the big hero should learn from Pound, if he surrenders in a few words, he is not a hero."

"Come, come, I'll toast you with a glass of water and wine." Wei Mingwei snorted coldly in his heart, I am the real hero, one minister does not matter to the other, what are you, as a party member, you are willing to be the dog of the Song people.

After toasting a glass of water and wine, Qin Nian persuaded again: "You better go back, don't make trouble in Weizhou, that general judgment is just here, I don't know the situation in Weizhou." When the war is over and Zheng Xianggong returns from the front, as long as you don't ask too much, your demands will definitely be met. ”

"I want to too, but you know, I am only a nominal capital colonel, and I don't have any real power, but the people of all tribes don't know about it, and they only ask me. Where can I conjure up supplies...... If it really doesn't work, I'll stay in Weizhou City and let them not find me. ”

"That's a way to do that, too." Qin Nian let him laugh out loud, and then said solemnly: "It's okay to avoid it in the city, but you can't bother the city officials anymore." The war broke out on the front line, and the officials in the city were too busy to make friends. Disturbing them at this time, although Zheng Xianggong is generous, he will also have a bad impression. You and I are both party members, and I also want our party members to live a better life. ”

"Thank you Brother Qin for reminding me." Wei Mingwei pretended to sit upright and said solemnly.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the Zhang brothers said: "Qin Dutou, let's put the dice again, how about it?" ”

owed money to the Zhang brothers, Qin Nian was at a loss, and his old face turned red, but he gambled very much, and hesitated for a while and said, "Okay." ”

A few people started playing in the tavern.

The Zhang brothers' skills are very good, but Wei Mingwei's dice throwing skills are rotten and he loses a little badly, so he has to borrow money from the Zhang brothers to gamble.

Qin Nian was overjoyed, this person is a fat sheep, and he doesn't understand anything. Well, at this time, he also disregarded the feelings of the party, and Suo took a few people to a small barracks near his military camp and gambled a lot. After gambling overnight, he repaid all the gambling debts owed to the Zhang brothers, and made more than a dozen yuan.

More than a dozen yuan is nothing to the Zheng family. But for ordinary people and middle- and low-level generals, it can be regarded as a small fortune. Qin Nian watched the sun come out, rubbed his eyes that were a little red from excitement, and said, "I'll take you to eat early, I'll treat you." ”

Wei Mingwei was very frustrated, and said listlessly: "Whatever you want." ”

"Don't be discouraged, come back in the evening, maybe your luck will improve."

The next day, Wei Mingwei still lost, but the winner was not Qin Nian, but the Zhang brothers. Wei Mingwei saw that his eyes were hot, and he blackmailed the Zhang brothers to invite them to drink flower wine and blackmail. This time, Qin Nian was even happier. What else is more iron, comrades-in-arms, gambling friends, scoop friends.

After some darkness, continue to gamble. At this time, the more mournful sighs on Wei Mingwei's face, the brighter his heart became, and when he went out to urinate, he looked at the powder magazine not far away, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
