The autumn is high and cool, and it is the time of the autumn harvest of the year, every time at this time, the Hangzhou transfer makes the yamen will be busy, all kinds of taxes and water are generally sent from the states of the two Zhejiang roads to the Hangzhou transfer envoy Yamen, piles of grain, gold, silver, copper money, cloth brocade silk, all kinds of items that can be used to pay taxes in Hangzhou are transferred to make the yamen pile up, just counting these materials plus accounts make the officials of the yamen busy dizzy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoγqΞ5γ c0m/
In the study of the transfer envoy, Zhao Lei is burying the account book, accounting for the general ledger that has been handed over recently, although it is a very idle work, but it also makes Zhao Lei, who has no advanced tools, very worried, at this time Zhao Lei misses the days when he had a computer.
"The big thing has happened, and the army has already been sent to Western Xia." Just when Zhao Lei was distressed, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Pang Bai strode into the study, and said to Zhao Lei happily with a round face and a smile.
"How could it be! As soon as the autumn harvest ended, I sent troops to attack Western Xia, why not wait for the news of Hui Li, Liao and my Great Song Dynasty to send troops together! Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in surprise full of doubts.
"Hey, hey! I also just got the news from the imperial court, and the inside of the house is not monolithic, and the intrigue between the father and son is more serious, and the court envoy Lu Jing, who went to the court, asked the official family and then canonized the queen Qiao as the lady of Yongjia County, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Gang Blind felt was the training envoy of the Dengzhou regiment, and the second son of the grinding felt was the training envoy of the Shunzhou regiment, and they were rewarded with clothes, gold belt utensils and tea. And promised to give them fifteen horses of silk and silk every year, I heard that the father and son each have their own territory and rule over the people, and Lu Jing persuaded them at the same time that the father and son sent troops to the Western Xia, in order to avenge the slaughter of the city in Cat Niucheng, the father and son sent an army of 130,000 soldiers to Liangzhou in Western Xia, and it is estimated that the war has begun now. Pang Bai handed over a copy of the imperial palace newspaper in his hand to Zhao Lei. said to Zhao Lei with a smile.
"Go to the command room and call Mr. Su and Mr. Ou over!" After Zhao Lei finished reading the newspaper of the imperial palace, his expression tightened, and he said to Pang Bai beside him in a deep voice.
β¦β¦
In the command room with a huge sand table and map, Zhao Lei, Su Xun, Ou Xifan, and Pang Bai all looked at the sand table that had changed their appearance with a solemn face.
"130,000 horses attacked Liangzhou, which was defended by less than 20,000 people, and it stands to reason that there should be a victory without defeat, but the generals who led the army belonged to the father and son, and the relationship between the three generals was not harmonious, and they guarded against each other, like a plate of scattered sand. It is not known how much combat power the thirteen armies can wield, although there is a national righteousness of avenging the people of Maoniucheng, but in the case of internal strife, I am afraid it will not be so easy to take Liangzhou, to be honest. I'm not optimistic that the army will be able to take Liangzhou now! After hearing the news of the internal disagreement, Ou Xifan shook his head and said to Zhao Lei and the others in a deep voice.
"Look at the situation, Hui Yu has no intention of sending troops, the Liao State is still negotiating, and my Great Song Dynasty is not ready. If you don't guess wrong, I'm afraid that Yuanhao of Western Xia already knows the news that the Great Song Dynasty united the Three Kingdoms to besiege Western Xia. What would we do if we were in the position of Western Xia? Zhao Lei also felt that the impatience of sending troops had a great impact, and after pondering for a while, he proposed empathy and asked Su Xun, Ou Xifan and Pang Bai.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first! The alliance to attack the Western Xia was proposed by my Great Song Dynasty, as long as our Great Song army is defeated, and the Hui and the Gang retreat without a fight, the Western Xia will not see this, I am afraid that they will concentrate their troops and horses against my Great Song army! However, the early dispatch of troops not only disrupted my Great Song plan. I'm afraid it will also bring some unexpected changes to Western Xia! Pomber said with a slight sneer.
"The 40,000 troops of the Western Xia are on guard, 20,000 are in Xiliang Mansion, 20,000 are in Xuanhua Mansion, and now they are concentrating on the army to attack Xiliang, it is better to divide the troops into three ways, leaving one way to attack Xiliang, and the remaining two roads all the way north to Xuanhua, and the other way to Zhuohe in the south, so that not only to avoid internal discord in the army, but also to make the already weak strength of the Western Xia tail difficult to take care of, I am afraid that when the time comes, Xixia Yuanhao must send reinforcements from Xingqing Mansion to Xiliang." Su Xun looked at the army distribution banners near Xiliang and Xixia on the sand table, and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.
"We can think of this kind of problem, and the imperial court probably can also think of it, I'm afraid that now the envoy sent by the imperial court to the Western Xia has already been on the road, and the division of troops into three roads is a greater threat to the Western Xia, presumably the Western Xia will not refuse this kind of suggestion, waiting for the news of the Western Xia Yuanhao in a hurry!" Zhao Lei nodded in agreement with Su Xun's opinion, and said in a deep voice.
"The Western Xia will definitely focus on defense against the Woo and the Hui Birds, and then concentrate their forces to attack my Great Song Army, so let's think about whether the Western Xia will send troops to attack my Great Song Dynasty from that route!" Ou Xifan looked at the sand table and said to Zhao Lei and the others in a deep voice.
Oh, yes! Now that the war has started, the Western Xia will definitely not sit still, take the initiative to attack or passively defend, no matter what, the main force of the Western Xia will definitely appear on the side of the Great Song Army, how will the Western Xia deal with this offensive! Proactive or defensive? Zhao Lei, Su Xun and others looked at the sand table and thought hard.
β¦β¦
The reality is very cruel, not only did Zhao Lei not wait for the good news, but first waited for the news from Xixia.
In October of the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao of the Western Xia sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, but was detained by the prefect Guo Quan, who had already established the country in the Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty was in a state of hostility, Guo persuaded that the Western Xia envoy should not be sent to Bianjing, but the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, Guo Quan, who did not know what benefits he received from the Western Xia envoy, and said countless good things for the Western Xia envoy in front of the official Zhao Zhen, and said that although Yuan Hao had established the Western Xia regime and changed the title, he was still a minister in the written table book, and he could let the Western Xia envoy enter Beijing, And Zhao Zhen, an official who had soft ears for a while, actually agreed with Guo Quan's opinion and ordered the envoy of Western Xia to enter Beijing to face the saint.
Zhao Zhen, a local official who was uncomfortable, finally saw the surface book of the Western Xia envoy in Bianjing. Yuan Hao of Western Xia actually openly said in the book: "The 500,000 elite army of Western Xia hopes that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will be the king of the south in the western suburbs of Yuan Hao!" β
This kind of public and ** threat made the originally arrogant official Zhao Zhen Longyan angry, and it caused a strong reaction in the Great Song Dynasty, the privy envoys Chen Yaozuo and Chen Xiliang and others advocated killing the Yuan Hao envoy immediately, and then ordered the frontier army to march in Western Xia, while the two prime ministers Zhang Shixun and Li Ruogu and others thought that they should not act recklessly. In the end, the official Zhao Zhen ordered the repatriation of the Western Xia envoy, and Guo Quan, the Yan'an Mansion, was demoted to Luzon Road because he spoke for the Western Xia envoy, and it is estimated that he will not have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains in his life.
β¦β¦
Seeing that the Great Song Dynasty refused to recognize the status of the Western Xia, and at the same time sanctioned the Western Xia economically, in a fit of rage, Yuan Hao transferred 50,000 troops from Xingqing Mansion to meet the 100,000 Western Xia men and horses on the border of the Xia and Song Dynasties, and sent troops from the Western Xia Prefecture to attack and defend with 150,000 soldiers. took the initiative to attack the Yan'an Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty.
The mobilization of Western Xia soldiers and horses led to a series of surrounding reactions, first Hui Que was finally persuaded by the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty to send 180,000 troops to attack Shazhou, Guazhou and other Cao family three states, and the Liao monarchs and ministers also sent 200,000 troops out of Xijing of Liao under the persuasion of Fu Bi, and the troops approached the Black Mountain Prefecture of Western Xia.
A war that will affect the three future empires of Asia has finally begun.
β¦β¦
Hangzhou transshipment envoy Yamen. Zhao Lei and others paid close attention to the progress of this war in the room with the sand table and map, but there was no winner in the early stage, and there was no chance for Zhao Lei to intervene in the war, so what was left for them was to wait.
"The army was divided into three routes, and Xixia, Xiliang, Xuanhua and Zhuohe were in an emergency at the same time. Yeli Renrong, who stayed in Xingqing Mansion, mobilized 30,000 reinforcements to aid these three states respectively, and in the short term, the war will show a stalemate. After all, he went on an expedition to Western Xia, and he was not familiar with the place, although he had the advantage of troops, but he lost his geographical advantage, if there was no change in the war situation in other places, Xiliang, Xuanhua and Zhuohe would probably not change much! After moving the banner representing the Western Xia and the army on the sand table, Ou Xifan said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.
"The battle on the Huihu side is much more fierce than the fighting. It seems that ethnic hatred is still not as important as interests, in order to recapture the three states of the Cao family. The 180,000 army of the Hui Bird attacked the sandbar day and night, and after the sandbar received reinforcements from Guazhou and other places, it defended the city of Guazhou with 40,000 soldiers and horses, and now both sides suffered heavy losses, but the situation in Western Xia was not good, if Yeli Renrong, who stayed in Xingqing Mansion, did not send reinforcements, the fall of the sandbar was only a matter of time. After moving the flag of the deployment of troops near the Hui Crane and the sandbar, Pombo said with a smile to Zhao Lei and the others.
"Liao's motives are unknown, but one thing is certain, he wants to be the last profitable fisherman, seeing that the soldiers and horses of Liao are not moving at the border, and Yeli Renrong has no intention of transferring troops and horses to help, he knows that Liao and Xixia must have reached some kind of agreement, it seems that Liao still has not given up the delusion of the princess of Liao to give birth to that Yuan Hao's son to become the prince of Western Xia! Didn't the monarchs and ministers of Liao State think that such a political goal was enough to kill the princess of Liao and her son! Su Xun shook his head and sighed when he mentioned the war situation in Liao.
"The situation on the side of the Great Song Dynasty is even worse, the 150,000 troops of Western Xia are like wolves and tigers, although Yan'an Mansion has now gathered nearly 300,000 troops of our Great Song Dynasty, but it should be defeated and retreated, although the losses are not large. But it will affect the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is defeated again. Once the Uighurs and the Uighurs think that the Great Song Dynasty has no chance of winning, they will immediately withdraw their troops, and when the Great Song Dynasty fights the Western Xia alone, the situation will be irreparable. Zhao Lei touched his chin and looked at the sand table, and said solemnly.
"Adults don't have to pretend to be so compassionate! Isn't the news of the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty waiting for by adults! If the Great Song Dynasty will win every battle, when will the adults have the day to come out! Pang Bai looked at Zhao Lei with a smile and said.
Pomber's words made Zhao Lei smile slightly, and nodded to admit the meaning of his words, indeed, this is a good opportunity to make a comeback, I am afraid that only after the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty, the court will remember him, who was once a degraded hero of Luzon all the way! But it's so easy to kick me out of Bianjing, will it be so easy to ask me to go back! Don't let those guys pay a price, I'm afraid that when I return to Bianjing, everyone will ride on my neck, Chen Yaozuo, Chen Xiliang, Ye Qingchen and Zhao Yuanyan, you wait! I'm always going to pay the price! Zhao Lei thought with a sneer in his heart.
