In the past four years, Li Yuan launched a total of four large-scale operations.

The Battle of Sanchuan mobilized 80,000 horses, which later became more than 100,000 troops, and was Li Shibin's rebel army.

The Battle of the Good Water River used 100,000 horses.

Fulin Road used more soldiers, and if the army from Hengshan was included, it could reach 150,000. Both sides suffered heavy losses, so much so that in the later battle of Dingchuan, after a long time of recuperation, Yuan Hao could only mobilize 70,000 horses.

Among the ministers of Shaanxi, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and Han Qi have done relatively well.

This time there were mistakes.

In history, Chen Zhizhong and Xia Zhu were in charge of Shaanxi affairs, and the two of them were inactive. As for Jingzhou, which has arrived at Jingyuan Road, the observation makes Wang Yan even more hopeful.

Pang Ji, as a transfer envoy, did not say anything.

Han Qi was in Qinzhou anyway, and he was counted in the rear, but this battle lasted for more than four months, and the intelligence in the rear was already flying like snowflakes, and there was no sound.

Fan Zhongyan was relocated from Zhiyao Prefecture to Zhiqingzhou and was in charge of the deployment of Huanqing Road, although he was not as good as the later Hubu Lang Zhonglong Tuge Zhi Bachelor Guanju Yanyan Road Deployment Secretary and Zhiqingzhou and the Ma Bu Army of this road were deployed to appease the real power along the border (dizzy, mad, only known has such a long official position, and some have not been added), and he is also in charge of the military, political and financial power of Huanqing Road, and has 50,000 forbidden troops in his hands, and if he adds the Tibetan soldiers, the strength can reach 60,000 or 70,000, and he did not take the opportunity to launch a decent attack on Western Xia. Even if there are several small-scale attacks like the White Leopard City, Yuan Hao will withdraw his troops suspiciously to ease the tension on Fulin Road.

The 150,000 strongest Western Xia main force was withdrawn, although there was a garrison in Western Xia, how many were left? Moreover, from the Hexi Corridor to Shazhou, Li Yuanhao also had to send a large number of troops to garrison to defend against the attack of the Tibetans.

Later, when compiling the history books, in order to tamper with the behavior of these leading brothers, the time was compressed to September.

The actual war lasted until the beginning of the month.

The most annoying thing is another gentleman,

Kai Yang.

The front soldiers and the Zhejia army are fighting bloodily, he wrote on the book, Fengzhou Ningyuan Village has been broken by thieves, but Linzhou is lonely, one hundred and forty miles away from Fuzhou, far away from the stopper, although Ningyuan boundary between the two states, can be the place where the soldiers and horses stay in the tun, but there is no water spring to guard. If it is proposed to repair, it will be used by the country in vain. Now please Xinlinzhou in Lanzhou Hehejin Yellow River east bank Peijia Mountain, its land on all sides of the danger. There are water springs. He also said that the two states of Lingxia are both Hangu County, and once they are abandoned, what is the pity of Linzhou.

Fulin Road was not needed, and Linzhou was moved to the east of the Yellow River. Lingzhou Xiazhou is the county guard since the Han Dynasty, and they don't want it, what are the small Linzhou and Fuzhou.

Zheng Lang is the most disgusting thing about this gentleman.

Why did he want to find trouble with Yang Kai, not only because he was against Xia Zhu and misled the country, but also because of this admonition.

It's disgusting that there is also the latter thing, because it is a gentleman, and the history books are desperately tampered with.

Sanchuankou was defeated by insufficient troops, and Yang Kai was afraid that people would investigate him for trouble, so he forged a letter and sent it to Yanzhou, and the imperial court sent 100,000 rescue soldiers.

At this time, Yuan Hao had already withdrawn to the north of Jinmingzhai, and he had nothing to do with this letter.

However, the history books were tampered with and written so that Yuan Hao heard that the 100,000 troops of the imperial court had arrived, and he was afraid to run.

Run a fart, if an army of 100,000 comes from a long journey, the carriages and horses are tired, and they are halfway there, just to give Yuan Hao a big meal.

Gao Jixuan went to Linzhou to rescue, and Yang Kai knew and merged with the state as a privy counselor.

Zhao Zhen's secret edict said that you can see if you can transfer tens of thousands of troops from Taiyuan to respond to the two states of Linfu, Yang Kai marched into the battle, and the soldiers did not need to die if they were undisciplined. Today, the peasants are sent to the border, I am afraid that they will flee on the road and retreat from the battle, and they will not listen to the order, so please do it with military law.

Zhao Zhen Enzhun.

As long as you get out of the way, it's up to you how you do it.

So scared a lieutenant to death. The history books praise it again, scaring a military general to death, how awesome!

However, Fulin Erzhou has been fighting for several months, where is Yang Kai's army?

Not only did he not march, but on the contrary, he also wrote to the imperial court to lose the Lin Mansion. Losing the Lin Mansion, think about the relationship with Hedong. Only separated by a Yellow River, as long as it is lost, Hedong and even Taiyuan will become Yuan Hao's racecourse in the future!

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was sober-minded and said to the prime ministers that the Khitans in Linzhou, Gujun, and Xianping were more heavily besieged, but they were defended, and they had to be defended. Now it is suddenly lost, and it will retreat to the Yellow River as the boundary, and the country is in danger. It is advisable to quickly repair Ningyuan Village to aid Linzhou.

The edict is useless, Yang Kai is abusing the generals in Taiyuan, so he has the courage to go to Linzhou!

In the past, there was a subordinate who was also surnamed Yang who presented him with a shield and a splitting knife, and the specific usage was to use the outer ring with a car, and the inner with a shield. Rabbit Mao Chuan Wang Ji used this method to win once. Yang Kai shamelessly took the credit. Said he invented it.

It can be said that he is the most shameless gentleman, even Xia Zhu can't reach his level.

The imperial court wanted to rush to the aid of Fulin Road, but under the control of a group of gentlemen and villains, Fulin Road hardly saw any reinforcements except for the initial reinforcements from Gao Jixuan.

So Fulin Road had no choice but to continue to fight alone.

……

Black and white seem to be reversed.

But Fuzhou finally bloomed in a bright color.

Yuan Hao released a rumor that more than 30,000 people had died, but there were not so many.

But Wang Kai and Gao Jixuan did kill him miserably, there were not more than 30,000 people, and it is estimated that there were 20,000 people.

It was used to paralyze the Song army.

Then he slowly retreated, but in late August, he suddenly led a large army to cross the white lawn of the west mountain of Quye River and pounced on Ningyuan Village.

Why?

More than 100,000 troops came, most of the troops outside the city were already transferred to the city, and there were only a few hundred people in Ningyuan Village, so there was no need to be confused and could not hold it.

It was that hundreds of people still fought a fierce battle with the main army of Yuan Hao, and the Song generals Wang Shiqian and Wang Xian were martyred, and all the soldiers of the whole village were killed, and no one surrendered. After Yuan Hao burned Ningyuan Village, he pounced on Fuzhou.

Fuzhou Prefecture City is located in Fugu, built on a large mountain, with the Yellow River behind it, and there is a small river in front of Fugu River, which will enter the Yellow River to the east. So the river was used as a moat.

The Zhejia family has been operating in Fuzhou for a hundred years, and the city is very strong, and there is only one path leading to the city. To the southeast is the Water Gate, with steep cliffs and the Yellow River. Yuan Hao looked at it, and had no choice but to attack Fuzhou City from the path under the cliff.

As the soldiers approached the gate, they suddenly dropped countless rolling logs and stones from the top of the city, and bows and arrows rained down. The assault team dodged the rain of arrows and crossbows, but they couldn't avoid the rolling wood and stones, the stones were a little better, and the rolling logs with steel thorns were a large piece of it, and it kept rolling until it went down the mountain, and it had to be rolled for more than ten meters before stopping.

The commandos were killed.

In fact, many ugly things happened in the city.

Kang Deyu not only did not let the people into the city, but also led the forbidden army under several major Song army generals to restrain the troops.

It was the Folded Army that went to war.

However, there has been no war for decades, and the size of the Zhejia army is shrinking, only more than 6,000 people.

Zhi Jimin was so angry that he wanted to cut Kang Deyu with a knife, but Wang Yuan persuaded: "General Zhe, I will report to my family and give you justice." ”

Zhi Jimin nodded.

Zheng Lang knew that he was still young that year, and it was Zheng Lang who admonished him, and the imperial court allocated a batch of weapons, which are now coming in handy one by one. Holding back his anger, he is guarding the city of Fuzhou.

Yuan Hao didn't know the story that happened in the city, looked at it, and then attacked the northern city.

Zhi Jimin came over to personally lead the battle.

Some people will make a list of the folded family generals, the first generation is the folded Zongben, the second generation is the folded Si Lun, the third generation is the folded from Ruan, the fourth generation is the folded De, the folded Deyuan, the fifth generation is the folded Yuxun and the folded Yuqing including She Lao Taijun, the sixth generation is the fold of the right, the fold of the letter, the fold of the loyalty, the fold of the quality, the fold of the sea chao, the seventh generation is the fold of the min, the ancestor and the heir, of which the fold of the Min is the best. There are more bullish ones in the back, Zhe Kerou and Zhe Ke Xing, which have not come out yet, or are too young.

The main general fought in person, the morale was fierce, the corpses under the city wall were accumulating higher and higher, and more than a thousand people died, and the city wall did not move. But Li Yuanhao finally saw a weakness in Fuzhou, the southwest city wall, which is very short, almost no ladders, build a ladder, and one can climb the city wall by standing under it.

Ordered to strengthen the attack on the northern city, dragging the main forces of Fuzhou in the city, and at the same time sending troops to rush to the southwest city wall, as long as they rushed up, the city of Fuzhou fell.

This surprise attack paid off.

Soon, several Song soldiers with sparse walls in the southwest were killed, and countless Western Xia troops poured into the city. The city and the outside shouted together, and the city was broken. Outside the city were the voices of arrogance, and inside the city were the voices of terror.

At this dangerous moment, Zhang Qi led the army to arrive, and ordered the two to clamp an enemy soldier, forcibly discharge a human Great Wall at the head of the city, block the enemy from climbing up, and then kill the Western Xia army that had ascended to the top of the city.

The battle was fierce, and even Zhang Qi himself was armed with three knives and guns, and he was hit by an arrow under his eye, almost blinding him in the eye.

Won Hao's attack was repulsed, but new problems arose.

There was a shortage of water in Linzhou City, Zheng Lang did not instruct, and when the Western Xia people attacked, they also stored some edible water. The lack of water was later.

There is no shortage of water in Fuzhou, and most of the four sides are surrounded by water, so there is no water in the city.

What should I do if I want water?

Zhang Qi said to the people, you can go out of the city to fetch water to ensure that the Western Xia army will not hurt you.

As he said he would, Zhang Qi led his army to fight and drove the Tangut people on the edge of the city to the other side of the river.

This is the reason for the terrain.

There was water in the moat, and it was absolutely alive, and there was not enough space from the moat to the city wall to accommodate the Tangut army, so that the Tangut army could not maintain its superior strength on the northeast side of the river.

Putting those hundreds of soldiers, for the fierce Zhang Qi, is for Zhang Qi to be breakfast, and the main meal is not counted.

After a few days of siege, Yuan Hao finally recognized a ruthless fact, attacking, it is impossible to attack the city, sleepy, there is food and water in the city, and it cannot be consumed here. So he pulled the army to Toyosu again to try his luck.

I touched it for him.

Fengzhou is the territory of the royal family of the Tibetan talent clan of the party.

Some people say that the Zhe family is a party member, and some people say that the Zhe family is a Xianbei Hun person, but the Wang family is a real party member, and the bloodline is more noble than Li Yuanhao's bloodline.

But the topography of Toyosu is terrible.

Its location is near the ancient town of Fugu later, there are rivers, small rivers, mountains, hills, and there are not many, and the terrain is flat.

Moreover, Yuan Hao lost twice, and was also killed by the Song army, and was strictly ordered to die if he did not capture Fengzhou City.

There was no danger to defend, but in the face of an angry army, the city of Toyosu was finally lost after holding on for several days.

Wang Qingyu, the head of the Wang family, Fengzhou Zhizhou, was killed in battle, and the soldiers and horses imprisoned Sun Ji, instructed the third class to borrow Hou Xiu and Yan Xun, including Sun Xiaoyi sent by Wang Yuan, and Yang Guangzu all died in battle. Yuan Hao had a feud with the Feng family, and in anger, he ordered the city to be slaughtered. This massacre of the city was terrible, and it directly led to the destruction of the Tibetan Cai Wang clan.

There are descendants alive, but they are far less than before.

It's not fatal, but this time it's fatal, I don't know if it's Fulin's life or his own life.

Yuan Hao captured a state-level city in the Song Dynasty for the first time, and his confidence was greatly increased.

One more point.

From the end of July to the present, it has been almost fifty days, and there has not been any shadow of Song Dynasty reinforcements. The scouts went out to investigate, but they did not hear any Song reinforcements coming from the east or south. The rear Jingyuan, Huanqing and Dunyuan are even quieter.

In the past, when it was not on expeditions, the Song Dynasty also launched some attacks on the border from time to time.

But he sent out his own troops, but he didn't launch a decent attack, just like taking the initiative to cooperate with himself to annihilate the Zhejia army.

Thinking about Fuzhou and Linzhou again, it seems that they are not impregnable, each with its own flaws.

He had received a large amount of supplies, and he was emboldened, ready to fight a protracted battle to remove the three nails.

Not only is it a feud, but the geographical location is very important, it is suitable for farming, it can provide a large amount of grain to the Western Xia, and it can also look east of the river to obtain a strategic place.

So he made a two-step plan, first plundering the army, and transferring all the three forts of Yong'an, Laiyuan, and Baoning to the east of Fengzhou City.

Since the city of Fengzhou was broken, the soldiers who guarded the fort fled with the people, not only Fengzhou, but also Linfu and many people crossed the Yellow River and took refuge in the east of the river.

At this time, in the land of three states, only the two lonely cities of Fuzhou and Linzhou existed tenaciously.

The reason for the demolition of the three forts was that they were afraid that the Song Dynasty reinforcements would arrive and occupy the three forts again and cut off their own back roads. There was no castle, and even if there were reinforcements, he was not afraid. He also rebuilt a glazed fort in his rear, not to defend it, but to store the captured materials for a protracted war.

And on the main road between Fulin and Hedong, a Jianning village was built, the village was very simple, and the intention was very simple. The two cities were short of supplies, blocking the connection between the two states of Fulin, and also isolated the Song Dynasty from the east of the river to provide material support to the two states. Prepare to starve the soldiers and people of the two state cities to death.

Then he ordered tens of thousands of troops from Hengshan to invade Yanzhou as a containment.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed straight to Yanzhou.

The hearts of the people in the city were shaken, but Wang Xin was not worried.

It was not the city of Yanzhou in the time of Fan Yong, at this time there were many fortresses near Yanzhou, and the imperial court also sent a large number of troops. If you want to break through Yanzhou with these tens of thousands of horses, it is a fantasy.

However, Wang Xin did not defend the city without a single stop. Taking advantage of the night, he led two thousand elite guards to sneak out of the south gate and attack the enemy camp by taking advantage of the dim moonlight. But soon after the war, Wang Xin's vanguard officer was killed, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wang Xin temporarily stood still. The sky was about to dawn, and the troops were quietly pulled to the east mountain, and after a short rest, the sky was bright, and they took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

The Western Xia army once again exposed their combat effectiveness, and tens of thousands of troops were actually crushed by two thousand Song troops and quickly routed.

But Yuan Hao achieved his strategic goal, because of this attack, the army of Yan Yanlu was forced to drag.

After hearing the report, Yuan Hao was relieved, and what made him even more relieved was that because of the Jianning Village, the materials transported by the Song Dynasty Hedong Road were blocked on the side of the Yellow River and did not dare to cross the river.

This is the material prepared by Wen Yanbo.

There are abundant quantities, there are food, there are weapons, but what is the role of putting them on the east side of the Yellow River?

The scout reported the news to the city of Fuzhou.

Because of Kang Deyu's incompetence, Fuzhou didn't let any people go, but Linzhou let many people into the city, and in a hurry, they didn't bring anything. So many people have to eat and drink, and even now, there is a lack of weapons. What to do?

It's also a joke that the strategic location in the northwest actually doesn't have stockpiled supplies.

But it's not that the imperial court is incompetent, and almost all the supplies support the Shaanxi Fourth Road. Forced by financial pressure, there is no choice but to fight wherever it goes.

How can we get this batch of supplies on the east bank of the Yellow River to the two cities?

One by one, the eyes were wide and the eyes were small.

Kang Deyu looked at the generals, Zhe Jimin was very angry with him now, and he was not qualified to transfer him. So he said: "Zhang Qi, I have appointed you to inspect the roads of Linfu." ”

Promoted.

Don't worry, there's more to come.

He also said: "You lead fifty horsemen to open the road to Linfu and send the materials of the imperial court." ”

Wang Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "General Kang, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué!" ”

Saying that fifty people broke through the encirclement and sent a message, it was almost the same, with fifty people in the 100,000 enemy army, the road of 140 miles of Linfu was opened, and the materials had to be sent to the two cities, that is, the road of more than 200 miles, because there were materials, the speed was still very slow.

Hugh said that fifty horsemen, fifty horsemen are all composed of brave generals like Lu Bu and Xue Rengui, and they can't complete this task!

Kang Deyu slapped the table and shouted: "Wang Yuan, Hugh is rude, you said that the official has a personal vendetta, so who to send?" Do you want to go! ”

He's reasonable.

Wang Yuan was almost so angry that he vomited blood, if it weren't for Zhang Qi grabbing his arm, ready to clench his fists, and not hesitate to offend his boss and be punished, he would have to give this guy a full fist.

Grabbing Wang Yuan, Zhang Qi said, "I'll go." ”

The war is fought here, and the first half is over. From the preparation to Zhang Qi's delivery of grain out of the city, it lasted nearly two months.

Wang Yuan followed Zhang Qi out of the city and sent him to the city gate.

Looking at the thin fifty-one horses, gradually disappearing on the horizon, Wang Yuan suddenly thought of a poem, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone.

The big drama is about to begin.

……

Moreover, this time Fulin is no longer alone.

Zheng Lang received information from He Yan and said to Li Zhengyuan: "Li Neishi, you go to Zhenrong with me." ”

Li Zhengyuan didn't know the truth, Zheng Lang asked him to go, could it be that Zheng Lang made something good in Zhenrong Village?

Zheng Lang took him there, not to let him come up with ideas, but to let him see and listen with his own eyes, the people of Western Xia are not terrible. In this way, after he goes back, he will be able to report to Zhao Zhen and strengthen Zhao Zhen's heart.

Summoning Di Qing and the old species.

Last time, there were Zhao Xun and Zhang Fangping, Zheng Lang compared, Zhao Xun can be, but he is too young and has not really grown up. Zhang Fangping lacks practical experience. Lacking both, I didn't call them this time.

There is really a troika left.

When he came to Zhenrong Village, the old seed also arrived, Zheng Lang said: "Yuan Hao has personally attacked Linfu Road, and it seems that more than 100,000 troops have been mobilized. ”

Yuan Hao was also helpless, he wanted to gnaw at the family army, and he didn't use so many troops, and his strength was insufficient.

Zheng Lang said again: "And Yuan Hao's battle is not very smooth, and the army has already fallen into Linfu Road. ”

The eyes of the old breed and the spade blue lit up.

Yuan Hao left Xingzhou and took more than 100,000 troops with him, what does it mean!
