Fan Zhongyan pointed to several armored generals that Zhao Lei didn't know and solemnly introduced. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½/qĪ5ć //
Zhao Lei greeted these generals, focusing on Guo Chengyou, Zhang Zi, and Xia Sui, the three generals of the Qiandi when they were princes, and now the commanders of the three armies of Zuo Long Wu Army, Zuo Yulin Army, and Zuo Shenwu Army, turned his head to Fan Zhongyan and asked, "Lord Fan! Are all the generals of the army on the Yongxing Military Road here? ā
"The judge of Yuyan Road, Chong Shiheng, Jingyuan Lu Zhan, Weizhou Zhizhou Guo Zhigao, Huachizhai Commander Hu Yongxi Ning Yuanzhai Commander Zhai Wang Shiqing, Fengzhou Zhizhou Wang Yuqing, Yuyan Lu Du Zhan and Zhiyu Prefecture Zhang Kang, Zhenrong Army Governor Cao Ying, Jingyuan Road Governor Li Zhihe, Wang Wen, Zhenrong Army Supervisor Li Yue, Zhao Phosphorus, these people are confronting the Western Xia Army near Jinmingzhai with their armies, in addition to other army commanders with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses are here." Fan Zhongyan thought about it and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.
"Since that's the case, let's start discussing how to repel the army of Western Xia Yuanhao! Fan-sama. I don't know what the situation is now! Zhao Lei asked in a deep voice to Fan Zhongyan beside him.
"Two months ago, Lord Zhao Huaide attacked the Western Xia army at night and burned a large number of grain, grass, cattle and sheep in Western Xia, Yuan Hao's looted grain and grass was no longer enough to support the army's action, so he retreated to Jinmingzhai and waited for the support of Xingqing Mansion in the rear, and Jinmingzhai was once a military stronghold of 100,000 of our Great Song Army. Not to mention the dangerous terrain, Yuan Hao will store all the materials looted in the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is guarded for three or five months, I am afraid it is not a problem, Jin Mingzhai is solid under the insistence of the Western Xia army, plus more than 100,000 troops inside, there is no chance at all, so Xia Guan proposed to leave 50,000 troops to monitor the Western Xia army, and the other troops returned to Yan'an Mansion to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy! Fan Zhongyan pondered for a while, and told Zhao Lei about the life during this time.
Jin Ming Zhai! Zhao Lei really didn't know about this fortress. So he turned his head to look at Li Huaibao, the son of Li Shibin, who had lived in Jinmingzhai for more than ten years.
Li Huaibao, who is in his thirties, strong and capable, and looks very strong, saw Zhao Lei's gaze and remembered the tragic death of his father Li Shibin. He immediately stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "My lord! Jinming Village is built in the middle of the mountain, there is a clear spring flowing on the top of the mountain, the nearby woods are cut down, plus the mountain is steep, and there are many rolling wood thunder stones stored in the village. If it weren't for the rebel generals to open the gate of the collapse of Jinming Village, with the army of more than 100,000 people in Western Xia, he would not want to conquer Jinming Village, which was guarded by 3,000 people! ā
"Master Fan has a geographical map of the frontier there. It can help adults understand the situation! Seeing Zhao Lei bow his head and think hard, Han Qi immediately reminded Zhao Lei.
"No need! I asked someone to make a sand table, and it will be done soon, and I also have a magnified geographical map of the frontier here, and now I know the situation in Yan'an Mansion very well! Zhao Lei waved his hand to interrupt Han Qi's words and said indifferently.
Sandbox! What is it! The Chinese martial arts officials in the hall had never heard of such a thing as a sand table, and they looked at each other in confusion when they heard Zhao Lei's words.
Knock knock! At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came, and several officials of the government followed Pang Bai in carrying heavy sand tables.
"This! This is the geographical map of the mountains and rivers at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, so clear! Guo Chengyou, the commander of the Zuolong Martial Army, looked at the sand table placed in the middle of the hall in surprise. Exclaimed.
"This is the sand table! This official has made it clear that the official family has filed with the privy envoy, and in the future, making a sand table will become a necessary skill for the generals in the army, and everyone must learn to make such a sand table, which will help the generals in the army to understand the situation in the theater and the terrain of the battle! Zhao Lei took a slender silver stick handed over by Pang Bai, walked to the middle of the sand table, and said in a deep voice to the surrounding civil and military officials.
"These little flags?" Fan Zhongyan was also very shocked when he saw the sand table, this is a good thing, it is definitely a rare tool for marching and fighting, but his eyesight is much better than others after all, and he immediately realized that the sand table in front of him has some defects, and he should be able to do it more perfectly, turned his head and saw a stack of small flags in the hands of Pang Bai next to Zhao Lei, and immediately asked Zhao Lei suspiciously.
"Distribute the banner to the generals!" After Zhao Lei gestured to stop Fan Zhongyan's questioning, he said to Pang Bai in a deep voice.
"Generals! In your hands is the flag representing the soldiers and horses under your command, the number of your army, the number of soldiers and horses are displayed on the flag, and now the flag in your hand is planted on the sand table where the army under your command is now located! Zhao Lei carefully explained to the more than 30 civil and military generals in the palace.
When the Chinese military officials in the hall heard Zhao Lei's words, they immediately understood the importance of the flag in their hands, pondered for a while, and inserted the flags in their hands on the sand table in the corresponding position.
"Lord Fan! I didn't come to the banners of those generals to trouble Lord Fan. Zhao Lei said politely after handing over the remaining flags to Fan Zhongyan.
This kind of work is like a charcoal in the snow for Fan Zhongyan, who is curious, and when he gets the small flag, he carefully looks at the number on the flag, the surname of the commander and the number of soldiers and horses, and then according to the information he gets, the small flag is planted near Jinmingzhai on the sand table.
"In addition to Yuan Hao's personal expedition, what other generals are there in the Western Xia Army?" Zhao Lei looked at the empty flag above the small flag representing Xixia, and asked Fan Zhongyan beside him.
"This Yuan Hao's southern invasion, in addition to the Xixia Xiping Mansion to guard against our Great Song Army's general Ren Duoduo, there are also Yuan Hao from Xingqing Mansion to bring 50,000 captured army generals Wei Ming Shouquan, Yeli Yu Qi and Han generals Yang Shousu, Liu Zhongxun and others, now the Western Xia Army is mainly divided into three teams, one team is Yuan Hao's Chinese army, composed of 50,000 captured troops and 30,000 border troops, the commander is Wei Ming Shouquan, Yeli Yu Qi, Yang Shousu, Liu Zhongxun. In addition, Renduo Baoren and Jinding Duoduo each led 20,000 multilateral troops, which are now stationed in Jinmingzhai! The information Fan Zhongyan got was far more detailed than Zhao Lei's, and he carefully told Zhao Lei what he knew.
After listening to Fan Zhongyan's words, Pang Bai, who was beside Zhao Lei, picked up the brush on the bookcase in the hall, wrote on the small flag representing Western Xia the generals and troops that Fan Zhongyan said, and then inserted them on the sand table.
"Yuan Hao stationed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinmingzhai. To tell the truth, if he doesn't come out, our army has no way to take him at all, Jinmingzhai should be difficult to defend, and the cost of attacking is too great, but Yuan Hao will come out sooner or later, and it is impossible to nest in Jinmingzhai for the rest of his life, so we have to discuss how to lure him out now, and we can't wait until he takes the initiative to come out, and then we will have to follow after his **. This official hates the dust raised by those war horses, so this official will not chase the Western Xia army, this official wants to see the Western Xia army chasing us! On the sand table, the situation of the strength and position of the two armies of Song and Xia was clear, looking at the sand table. Zhao Lei said in a deep voice to the nearby civil and military officials.
"We can send troops to cut off Yuan Hao's back road and rob Xingqing Mansion to get supplies, and when there is no supply, Yuan Hao will definitely go out of Jinming Village to loot everywhere, or directly retreat and return to Xingqing Mansion!" Guo Chengyou, commander of the Zuolong Martial Army, put forward the thoughts in his heart and said. He had this idea for a long time, but he always felt that the risk was too great, so he never dared to make a decision. Now there is Zhao Lei, the commander-in-chief of the Yongxing Army, of course he wants to put forward this plan, and he will have his credit if he wins, and he will not be charged with any crime if he loses, so why not!
"Where is the passage of the Western Xia army to transport grain? How many soldiers and horses did they have to carry food? When and from where? When Zhao Lei heard the suggestion of Guo Chengyou, the commander of the Zuolong Martial Army, he didn't agree or object, but just put forward a few questions that must be understood when cutting off grain.
Guo Chengyou, the commander of the Zuolong Martial Army, scratched his head vigorously when he heard Zhao Lei's question. Now he really didn't know the answers to these questions, so he could only look at Fan Zhongyan helplessly, after all, Fan Zhongyan, the new prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, was the official in charge of intelligence.
"I don't know! Jinmingzhai is only a few dozen miles away from the Song-Xia border, after the fall of Jinmingzhai, Yuan Hao vigorously attacked our army to explore horses, and now the situation over there is completely unclear to our army! Fan Zhongyan was helpless and said apologetically to Guo Chengyou, the commander of the Zuolong Martial Army.
Fan Zhongyan's words disappointed Guo Chengyou, the commander of the Zuolong Martial Army, he knew that no fool would agree to his plan without intelligence, and Zhao Lei was not like a fool, who would be blind to intercept grain! Aren't you looking for death!
"We can attack Xiazhou, Yuan Hao is dispatched to guard against the southern invasion of the 100,000 army of my Great Song Dynasty, Xiazhou must be empty, and Linzhou and Fuzhou are only less than two hundred miles away from Xiazhou, General Ge Huaimin Ge has also sent more than a dozen Western Xia border fortresses from the security army to the vicinity of Xiazhou, if we attack Xiazhou, Yuan Hao will definitely send troops to rescue!" Fan Zhongyan also put forward his opinion, you must know that Xiazhou produces iron ore, is the main source of Western Xia weapons, after the founding of the country, Yuan Hao also set up iron affairs in Xiazhou, which shows the importance of Xiazhou, if you send troops to attack Xiazhou, Fan Zhongyan is not afraid that Yuan Hao will not go to the rescue.
"Yuan Hao will definitely send troops to rescue Xiazhou, but it is not easy to say where the soldiers come out, look at the sand table, from Jinmingzhai to Xiazhou about four hundred miles, and from Xingqing Mansion to Xiazhou is only four hundred miles, Jinmingzhai to Xiazhou The road is rugged, and in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, it is easy to ambush, and from Xingqing Mansion to Xiazhou, in the territory of Western Xia, there is a wide official road, Xingqing Mansion is left behind but Yeli Renrong, he is not an easy guy to deal with, fishing Jinming Zhai Xia Army but leads out of Xingqing Mansion Xia Army, what should we do then?" Han Qi immediately shook his head to refute Fan Zhongyan's plan, and pointed to the distance and situation between Jinmingzhai, Xingqing Mansion and Xiazhou on the sand table and said in a deep voice.
The plans of the two senior officers in the army in a row have been put on hold, and the other civil and military forces really have no good way to lure out Yuan Hao of Jin Mingzhai, looking at the sand table with a bitter face, thinking hard about the strategy.
At this moment, Zhao Lei finally proposed his plan!
"Gentlemen, look here! If we fight here, will Yuan Hao send troops to the rescue! Zhao Lei held a silver stick, pointed to a place on the sand table, and said with a light smile to the civil and military forces in the hall.
The place where Zhao Lei pointed made the Chinese martial arts in the hall feel for a while, and they began to weigh the possibility of the success of this bold plan!
