Chapter 12: Qianshun's counterattack
After listening to what he wanted, Ximenqing finally realized that the staff headquarters system he introduced in the Liangshan Army still has a long way to go before it can really achieve results.
A system, a reform, is not just the establishment of a department, the leader to say a few bold words, and then everyone shouts a few slogans can be implemented smoothly, that requires countless people for a long time to work hard, in order to accumulate a little results, and to make this little achievement into a tradition, it will take several generations of painstaking efforts.
During this time, mistakes are inevitable, but fatal mistakes must not be made.
Thinking of this, Ximenqing smiled bitterly, this time it was a fatal mistake - since Liangshan defeated the enemy all the way and swept away the corrupt Song Dynasty, the whole army has been immersed in a kind of arrogant atmosphere, although he suppressed this pride and complacency to the lowest state under his own order, but this mentality has not disappeared, but it is hidden and fermented in the depths of everyone's hearts - to be honest, Ximenqing himself is a little fluttering, do you need to talk about others?
In this mentality, Ximenqing proposed the westward expedition, and everyone went west, and the plan for the march was formulated according to the familiar terrain such as plains and grasslands, completely ignoring the actual existence of the desert!
Forget if others are negligent - after all, in the Song Dynasty, the transportation was basically by walking, except for the wandering monks, no one wanted to go to the poor countryside of Xixia to wander, and it was understandable that the terrain was unfamiliar - but Ximen Qing was a "reincarnated celestial star" who came through the time, he really shouldn't make such a low-level mistake!
Ximenqing knew that he was complacent and underestimated the enemy - fortunately, he didn't have to wait for his head to break the blood before he repented, and now he could seize the opportunity to rein in the precipice.
At the next military meeting, Ximen Qing scolded everyone, including himself, and then the whole army deeply reviewed and reformulated a reliable operation Jihua - Liangshan Mingjiao Expedition Western Coalition Army temporarily settled down in Linfu Lutun.
Ximen Qing didn't go to Xixia for trouble, but Xixia came directly to the door.
This time, the Western Xia took advantage of the fire to loot the land, and the troops were divided into three routes - the Jin King Chage led the Western Route Army, attacked Xihe, Jingyuan, and Qin Feng, and beheaded the Song general Liu Fa, and won a great victory; The Southern Route Army was commanded by the seven-year-old prince Li Renai, assisted by Li Renzhong and Li Renli, the handsome men of the clan, and took the Yongxing Army Road Huanqing and Yanyan, and trapped the Song Dynasty to plant the master in Gyeongju; The East Route Army was commanded by Li Jingsi, first attacked Linfu Road, swept away the generals, and took advantage of the situation to take Taiyuan City, the capital of Hedong. If the city is impregnable, there is no need to fight, return to the southwest, plunder all parts of the border, join forces with the prince, and consolidate the occupied land, which is the first priority - and Li Qianshun, the lord of the Great Xia Kingdom, drove the expedition in person, led the royal forest soldiers and horses to Yanzhou, and was the apse of the three people.
Now the Western and Southern Route Armies are either victorious or will win, each with its own brilliance, but the Eastern Route Army has lost all the time, and even the body of the coach Li Jingsi has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Li Qianshun, the lord of Xia, then took the case, and killed 100,000 people of the Royal Forest Tiger Ben to Linfu Road, and collected the defeat along the way, reorganized the golden drum and erected the flag gun, vowing to set foot on the city of Fuzhou, and avenge the revenge of more than a dozen arrows for the royal brother Aiqing Li Jingsi!
Approaching the border of the late Song Dynasty, there is a report from Malay, saying that the city of Fuzhou has come down from Liangshan and Jiangnan Mingjiao coalition army, led by Ximenqing, the leader of Liangshan, and led 50,000 troops to Fuzhou City in a horn situation, and is waiting for a solemn battle. Li Qianshun was secretly frightened when he heard this, and when he urgently ordered the march to stop, Ximenqing had already sent someone to write a book.
When Li Qianshun took the book and read it, he saw that the cover was written: "Xia Lord Qianshun Gongqi" - Li Qianshun couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and secretly thought that I have been in the West for many years in Daxia, and you Ximen Qing Caokou was born, and for a while, you stole the authority of Zhao and Song, and belonged to the generation of boys. To open respectfully is to open your letter respectfully, so why should the widow open your letter respectfully? Such a rude person is in vain to be reincarnated as a celestial star!
Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't have the courage to let Li Qianshun tear the letter to pieces, smash it into the messenger's face, and then drive the Jian'er to rush forward and hunt under the city of Fuzhou with Ximen Qinghui. After all, Ximen Qingwei is famous, and it is said that he is the reincarnation of Tianxing, so he is clever and clever, and he uses soldiers like a god, and King Chage of Jin is even more deeply worried after meeting with him - such a tricky role, if it can be settled at the negotiation table, it is best not to drag it to the battlefield to solve it - this is the principle of action of Li Qianshun, the lord of Xia.
So he endured the anger of the Son of Heaven and disrespectfully opened the envelope and looked at it, but saw that the book wrote: "The word Fu Xia is the main Qianshun: the corrupt Song Dynasty has no way, cut the land of our country, the people cut their teeth, and swear to beg **, because of it, Liangshan raised his arms and took advantage of the time, and then the followers gathered, and the corrupt government of Zhao and Song Dynasty was wiped out." The rotten Song Dynasty is peaceful, and its land cession treaty should be completely invalidated, how can China's land be sized and people? If the Western Xia is strong and raises troops, it is an invasion, and Ximen Qing has led the good men of China, all of them are united, and they are ready to fight against the Xia lord on the border. As soon as the soldiers are handed over, the jade is burned, no wonder it is unpredictable! If you can cultivate the Tao and protect the law, stop the sorrow and rest the soldiers, China's Western Xia can still be a brotherly state, trade and mutual markets, cultural exchanges, and all the people look up to it. The gains and losses in this are only observed by the king. Liangshan Ximenqing put down his pen. ”
After watching for a long time, Li Qianshun was silent, so he arranged for the messenger to go down to entertain him, and his own ministers gathered to discuss countermeasures.
Both civil and military, Li Qianshun said first: "Nai Ximen Qing barbarian, so rude!" He Liangshan can pacify Zhao and Song, thanks to the power of my Great Xia to contain the border army of Zhao and Song, he can succeed in the battle, otherwise it is not known who will kill the deer! Who knew that once he gained power, he would be ungrateful, and he would actually lead troops to harm my good deeds - these lands of the Song Dynasty were ceded to my Great Xia by the Song Dynasty, could it be that I couldn't forcibly occupy them in Great Xia? Now that Ximen Qing has come out to be the old master, and wants to force us to spit out the fat in our mouths again, how can there be such a reason in the world? Even if his godfather is an official, he can't say it! At this moment, Liangshan Ximen Qing Terrier is in Fuzhou City, if all the ministers have a good strategy to break their army, they can say it quickly to comfort their hearts. ”
Then Prime Minister Wei Duoren of Zuo Cheng came out and said: "Long live my lord, the minister has a plan, but he can break the barbarian son of the Han family." ”
Li Qianshun said with great joy: "Will the plan be released?" Come on! ”
Wei Duoren said: "Liangshan Ximenqing is the reincarnation of the star, there are unpredictable opportunities, the courage of the invincible, plus the people of Xinping Zhao Song, the spirit is flourishing, if my Great Xia and the battle between Sun and Wu, although our army is brave, victory or defeat is difficult to predict. It is better to send an envoy to Daliao, worship Emperor Tianzuo, and ask him to send troops to help. I think that my mother of the Great Xia is the sister of the clan of the Great Liao Emperor, and her lips are dead and her teeth are cold, so she will inevitably raise troops to help. ”
Hearing this, all the ministers of Western Xia praised it with great gusts: "Good plan! Good plan! ”
But there is a right prime minister? Do not move out of the column: "Although the words of the left minister are good, they do not match the current situation. In September this year, the Huanglong Mansion of the Great Liao fell into the hands of the Jurchen Wanyan rebel A Guta, and the Liao lord was angry, and issued an edict saying, "The Jurchens have done it, and the army has been eliminated". ”
When the ministers of Western Xia heard this, they looked at each other, and they couldn't make a sound for a while, and Li Qianshun was expressionless. In fact, in his heart, he was ashamed to ask Liao for help, thinking that when he just succeeded to the throne, he came to consolidate his throne and to implement the Sinicization reform, so he sent a messenger to Liao to propose marriage. Who knew that Liao Guo looked down on him as a son, and directly rejected his marriage proposal, which hurt Li Qianshun's young heart with blood.
Or Li Qianshun is resolute, burying the corpses of his comrades-in-arms, if there is one, wiping the blood stains on his soul, holding on to the great vow of life and marriage proposals, and continuing to send marriage proposals! Later, the emperor of Liao saw that this son was really sincere, or he was so annoyed that he couldn't stand it, so he named the clan daughter Yelu Nanxian as Princess Cheng'an, married to Xixia, and became Li Qianshun's queen, and gave birth to a son seven years ago, which is the current crown prince Li Renai.
The matter of proposing to Liao is an eternal pain in Li Qianshun's heart, even if his wife has been married and his son has been born, he is still obsessed, and often grinds his teeth in the middle of the night, but he hides it well and never looks out in front of others.
At this time, Wei Duoren said that he wanted to ask for help from the Liao State, Li Qianshun was the first one in his heart and was not happy, seeing that all the ministers had died down, he just said: "Since the New Deal in my Great Xia, the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are refined, the epicenter of the Central Plains, the Western Regions are mighty, and the world is also a strong country!" Now, although I am facing a strong enemy, if I don't hand over a soldier, I will ask for help from my marriage and spread it, how will people look at me? My Great Xia is a vassal of the in-law country? Is it the dog of the marriage country? If it is famous, it is a humiliation for the widow, and why is it not the sorrow of the emperor? ”
Hearing Qianshun's words, he was desolate, and a cadre of martial ministers was surging in blood, and he threw himself on the ground and shouted: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death!" The ministers are willing to use our flesh and blood to celebrate the west gate of Liangshan Mountain in Fuzhou for our lord! ”
Li Qianshun saw that his heart was available, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he pretended to be a ghost and said: "Qing and other worries, but Ximen Qingqi is the reincarnation of Tianxing's ears!" However, before my personal expedition, I poured incense in the Reclining Buddha Temple, and got a dream in front of the Buddha, and the Buddha transmitted the sound in the dream, and sent the King of Bishamen to protect our army - to get this great sage, why should Ximen Qing be afraid? ”
The ministers of Western Xia were stunned for a moment, and suddenly cheered in unison.
The Heavenly King of Bishamen is the King of Bishamen, who lives in the north of the four heavenly kings on the side of Mount Meru, as called in the Sutra of Cause and the Sutra of Golden Light. In the first year of Tang Tianbao, Tubo besieged Anxi, and the emperor edicted that the monk recited a mantra and suddenly saw a golden armor god. Bukong said: "This second son of Bishamen went to save Anxi. Later, Anxi played Jie, also known as the king of heaven in the west, and the army was victorious. The emperor then ordered: "Zhudao Prefecture capital city northwest camp and set up its statue", the Buddhist temple also ordered to be placed in the courtyard, Bishamen from then on to the limelight.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the belief in Bishamen was more prosperous, and the military villages and even the prison camps also built Tianwang Temple, Tianwangyuan and Tianwang Hall respectively. It's just that Huizong reinvigorated the Buddha and made Bishamen gradually lose the incense.
The Western Xia revered Buddhism and offered Bishamen, although it was not as large as the special officials of later generations, but it could also be like one or two. Therefore, the Western Xia army sent troops to win many victories, and they all said that it was the power of Bishamen's blessing.
Today, when I heard the words of Qianshun Chrysostom, Bishamen stood on the side of Xixia, and the ministers were convinced, and their hearts and eyes were bright, and they were clamoring to kill in the city and capture Ximen in front of the Buddha to sacrifice. This is exactly what it is:
In the east, I heard that the star king was coming, and in the west, the king of heaven came. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
