The dispatch of troops to the Western Xia led to a controversy in Lijing City.

When he arrived in Huangzhou, Hugh had to count on how many tribes would be friendly to the Song Dynasty. But everyone has their own ideas, if Tibet will inevitably perish, they would rather choose the Song Dynasty than the Western Xia. Although the Song Dynasty threatened to say anything, many people did not believe that there was such a good sweet fruit to eat in the world, but it was at least better than falling into the hands of the Tangut people.

In particular, the Western Xia sent troops to Wusheng Army and Guwei City, which made many Tibetan nobles suspicious.

Speaking of tactical command, there is really no one in Tubo who can handle it except for the ghost chapter, but the simple military principles can still be understood. If the Western Xia really helped Tubo, they gathered an army of 150,000 troops, sent troops from Lanzhou, and directly copied Miaochuan City. Wang Shao saw the opportunity quickly, and it was good to evacuate in time, otherwise, he would be able to let these tens of thousands of Song soldiers make dumplings. It is Wang Shao's withdrawal, the combination of the two armies, and the coercion can recover the Xihe.

The Tanguts did not do this, but sent an envoy to inform the Tibetans to send an army of 200,000 to attack the Wusheng army and Guweicheng, cutting off the back route and supply of the Song army. This is undoubtedly an excuse, although the Western Xia stopped the military operation in Shazhou, it is still the idea of fighting Xihe.

This made the hearts of some tribes who did not want to fight with the Song Dynasty even more cold.

Dong Yu was also a little undecided at this time, and he also learned a piece of news. After his unfortunate nephew was captured by Wang Shaosheng, he went to the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not blame, and gave the name Zhao Sizhong and was named the history of Rongzhou Thorn, and his mother was given the wife of Suining County, and he was given 30,000 yuan of fat powder money a month, although his wife Bao was not in harmony with Mu Zheng, he was still given the county monarch of Xianning, and Yu Longke's sister Mu Zheng's second wife Yu Longqi was the monarch of Anding County, which was given to Yu Longke's brothers to save face. This reward is already very rich. In the Tang Dynasty, the county monarch was a four-rank baronet. It is more expensive than the talented people in the palace, and in the Song Dynasty, only the doctors of Zhongsan, the generals, the regimental training and the bachelors or above, or the mother or wife of the minister who has made special contributions to the country can be given the county monarch, and the entire Song Dynasty has less than 50 county monarchs. Mu Zheng's family got three.

Mu Zheng's five younger brothers were named Zhao Jizhong, Zhao Jizhong, Zhao Shaozhong, Zhao Chuzhong, and Zhao Cunzhong. Reward the Lord.

Originally, at the behest of Wang Shao and Zheng Lang, Mu Zheng quickly returned to Hezhou after going to the capital, and asked Mu Zheng to recruit the first army of Hemin Wuzhou on behalf of the imperial court and had not yet returned to the tribes of the Song Dynasty. Since the Shao Jing system, tens of thousands of levels of fishing and slashing are not worried, and its prestige is established. One or two species left behind today, how can they wait for Mo Zheng to be determined? Observing the descent of the right, the cover is not obtained, that is, it is not sincere to the heart of the Han. If I make Ju Xizhou, my movements, emptiness and reality, as soon as I get it, my kind of people are heartfelt, and they are deeply resentful. Once the Xia Kingdom and Dong Jian were sent out between them, they would be choked far away. Absolutely Han's salary, the four sides of the Tibetan joint force to attack Xizhou, Tao, Min, stack, Tang Lian Heng and scratch the knot, Fang is the time, I am afraid that the Xi River is not restored.

The Song Dynasty was ready to leave Mu Zheng in the capital of the Song Dynasty, giving Mu Zheng Xi 50 hectares of land and Bao and Yu Long's 10 acres each, but was opposed by that Zheng Lang, Mu Zheng could not go to Hezhou, but he had to be transferred to Qinzhou as Qinzhou's jurisdiction, and his sons Bi Bedingwa (Zhao Huaiyi) and Gaiwa (Zhao Bingyi) participated in the Fan Hou Conference, so as to Anhe Huang people's hearts.

Although it is impossible for the nephew to be the king of Hezhou anymore, and it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to do such a stupid thing and give the nephew a chance to turn over, compared to the nephew's repeated resistance, which led to the tragic death of the Song general Jing Sili, the Song Dynasty has done a very benevolent and righteous job, so Dong Yu sometimes can't avoid thinking about it, if he takes the initiative to admit defeat to the Song Dynasty, what will he get?

Xixia's ill intentions made Dong Yu's heart sway.

However, there are still some hardliners in Tibet, including his adopted son Ali Gu and the brave general Ghost Zhang.

Ghost Zhang said: "Zampu, and everyone, can we restore the Hetao Min Wusheng Army?" ”

Everyone is silent together, this is a cold joke, and until now, no one dares to despise Song Jun. The reason for dragging Wang Shao's army in front of Zongge City was that the Song army was insufficient, and the second was that the battle line was too long and the supply was difficult. When it came to the Wusheng Army, the rear convenience was Qinzhou, the troops were sufficient, and the supply was not difficult. It's a good thing to be able to keep the north and south of the river.

"Anyway, it's lost, why can't it be lost to Western Xia, and let Western Xia make a strong city wall for us in front?"

"Ghost Zhang, what if the Western Xia guards it and also learns from the Song Dynasty?" Xibawen said.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, Western Xia was more hostile to Tibet.

"Xibawen, do you think the Song Dynasty was willing to let the Western Xia get the Wusheng army? Zanpu, in my opinion, it is better to annihilate the Song army under Zongge City first, take Hezhou by taking advantage of the war between the Song Dynasty and Western Xia, and then send troops to Taozhou to expand their own strength. Then sit and watch the Song Dynasty and the Tangut people fight, if the Song Dynasty again urges the Tangut people to defeat the Tangut people, our country can immediately sue for peace with the Song Dynasty, I believe that the Song Dynasty will not be tough with the two countries, and then peace will be beneficial to our country. If the Song army can't even deal with Western Xia, our country can see the opportunity to act. ”

"Ghost Zhang, what ability do you have to defeat the Song man Wang Shao?" Xibawen scoffed.

Ghost Zhang is still uneasy and kind, and wants to send troops to Taozhou, he must give up Xige City, lose Xige City, can he still stay in Henan?

"It's not difficult," Oni Zhang said his plan again.

At least it seems to make sense, Wang Shao's army died under Zongge City, and the Song Dynasty just sent Jing Siyi to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses, and 4,000 people to escort a large number of supplies from Guwei City to Zongge City. If this baggage is robbed and then Bajin Fort is taken, there is no need to fight, and the Song army will be trapped alive on the line between Bajin Fort and Zongge City.

Then taking the opportunity of the Tangut people to fight with the Song army, the Tubo people can completely turn into fishermen.

After a pause, Ghost Zhang said again: "Everyone, the Song army has been in Zongge City since Qinzhou, with less than 80,000 troops, and now 40,000 Song troops are trapped under Zongge City, and Xia Guo has sent 200,000 troops, even if we sue for peace, we must see if the Song army can survive this difficulty." Is it time to ask for peace? And it was the Song general Wei Qi who guarded Ba Jincheng! ”

Not to mention that the 200,000 or 150,000 troops of Western Xia pressed the border, that is, Jing Siyi and Wei Qi were both defeated under Ghost Zhang.

It is also understandable that the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition was full of fierce generals, but most of them were under Wang Shao's account, and there were some famous generals. The Western Xia army arrived. Zheng Lang didn't dare to call it as an official to escort grain and grass. At least Jing Siyi and Wei Qi performed remarkably in the battle of Baicheng.

Yet hundreds of miles long and thin. Ghost Zhang is well prepared, and with superior forces, the probability of attacking the grain and grass team and taking Bajin Fort is undoubtedly more than ninety percent. If it succeeds, it may not be able to destroy Wang Shao's army. However, the crisis in Huangzhou was at least resolved.

Dong Yu thought for a while and said, "Everyone, just follow the meaning of the ghost chapter." ”

His prestige is far inferior to that of his father, but he has always been the titular second generation of Tsongkha Tsangpo, the boss of Hehuang. He said he wanted to give it a try. Xibawen had no choice but to retreat with the leaders.

Ghost Zhang returned to the clan land, gathered the army of all clans in the Great Elm Valley, and prepared to attack Jing Siyi and Ba Jinbao.

Pressed to the press, he did not object, but he did not approve either. He was not interested in the Song Dynasty, but he was disgusted with the ghost chapter, so he did not send troops to help.

The armies of all ethnic groups gathered quickly, although the Song army walked slowly with grain and grass, but it could not let Jing Siyi take grain and grass to Huangzhou City, so that Wang Shao could withdraw his troops to support at any time, and no one dared to directly fight Wang Shao head-on. So it's fast.

Ghost Zhang began to move north with a large army. Xi Ba Wen didn't care, but he didn't expect Ghost Zhang to use Xi Ba Wen's failure to send troops to help as an excuse. It is said that Xibawen colluded with the Song people, and the real main force remained in Yugu, and when I heard that the army of Guizhang was heading north, Xibawen was waiting, and the son of Guizhang Yong Asu suddenly rushed to Xige City with tens of thousands of troops.

Xibawen was caught off guard, and let his eldest son Dipper lead the army to fight, and the two armies fought in Xige City, only a moment's effort, Dipper was defeated and killed, and the rest surrendered under the pursuit of Asu. Aso took the opportunity to attack Keige Castle. Forced by the fierce flames of Aso, Xiba fled eastward along the foothills of the Great Stone Mountain.

Dong Yu was very unhappy about this, but his control over Henan was very weak, and he was helpless. also had to rely on the force of the ghost chapter, so after sending someone to reprimand lightly, the matter was over.

Wang Shao didn't know all this that happened in Tubo for the time being, but he knew that Western Xia had sent troops.

In late July, the Western Xia sent troops to Hengshan, Xiangyikou, Tiandu Mountain, and Huining Pass, mainly to threaten and restrain the Song army on Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road. Then Liang Yihui led 150,000 troops to divide into two routes, and Liang Yineng went out of the Niche Valley, Mabitshan, and Donggu from the west road, attacked Jiehe Fort, and went straight to Xizhou City. Liang Yi buried from the Rusha Valley to send troops to the west of the city, from the west of the city and the army divided into two roads, he personally led the Chinese army to attack the ancient Wei City, the general Li Qing led the left army to attack the Tongwei Village.

Originally, Li Kaitai was commendable in several battles, and the chiefs of the tribes recommended Li Kaitai to accompany him, but Liang Yi was jealous of his merits, and Li Kaitai pushed the boat down the river and politely refused. So let another Han general Li Qingqingzhi, who had performed well in several battles.

Hearing this news made Wang Shao feel embarrassed.

It is to abandon the previous achievements, abandon the city of Michuan in Huangzhou, and after returning to Hezhou, it will inevitably face the two-sided attack of Western Xia and Tubo, and this battle is still fierce and auspicious. Therefore, let Guo Cheng occupy a strategic place twenty miles west of Huangzhou, sprinkle Jinping, and build Suiyuan Pass. The army successively withdrew from Zongge City to Suiyuan Pass and Thirsty Donkey Ridge.

In the battle of Zonggechuan, Ali Gu made the Song army kill miserably, and when he saw the Song army retreating slowly, he didn't dare to pursue, but he just let people quickly send the news to the hands of Ghost Zhang.

Ghost Zhang couldn't help but speed up the trip.

But he received a piece of good news, because of the treacherous terrain of Ba Jin Fort, the Song army only sent Wei Qi to lead 500 troops to garrison Ba Jin Fort. Hearing that the ghost chapter was about to send an army to arrive, some aborigines in the city responded one after another. There was also a caravan from the Longkui tribe, pretending to be Lu Li, Jiangyang, Baling and other tribes who returned to the Song Dynasty, and entered Bajin Fort, just as the scouts under Ghost Zhang sneaked into Bajin Fort, and after learning the news, they immediately contacted them. This tribe has been active between Qinzhou and Jiezhou, because the migration is uncertain, not liked by the Song people, so in June, together with the Daluo Sumujia tribe of Jiezhou, attacked Fengtiexia Village, killing countless soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. After the two sides set up a line, the caravan quickly gathered hundreds of people in the name of merchants and secretly gathered at Bajin Fort.

Ghost Zhang was not careless, and asked his other son to lead a 3,000-strong army to Ba Jinbao to sneak over.

At this time, Jing Siyi led the grain team into the eastern area of Gumiaochuan.

Ghost Zhang personally led 10,000 troops to kill Gu Miaochuan, not only him, but also an army, and the Hui tribe also sent 5,000 strong soldiers to kill Gu Miaochuan from the northeast.

The Western Xia army had not yet arrived in the city, and the Battle of Gumiaochuan began. (To be continued.) )
