Seeing that the Jiaorong sergeants are strong, the armor is distinct, and the military appearance is blazing, the people who participated in the military salute are happy and admired, Hexi since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Quartet has invaded, bustling and chaotic for two hundred years, and now there is finally a real strong army in the town, and the people have also given birth to the hope of a peaceful life.

After Wu Yingying, who was a self-proclaimed general, got up again and again to thank the cheers of the people, he smiled and greeted the captains of the military cadets around him. Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, Wu Yingying casually took a piece of military newspaper handed over by the Guards and Teeth, and after reading it, his face sank, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Retribution comes quickly, we have just copied the back road of the Ganzhou Uighurs, and some people are worried about my Lanzhou." His face was expressionless, and the general handed the report to the commanders of the left and right Xingu, Yu Furen, and Chase to read it, and after everyone read it, their faces were solemn. The captains looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, Wu Yingying said in a deep voice: "The Song people attacked Lanzhou, General Xiao has stabilized the defensive position, and ordered the captains of all departments to discuss here. ”

According to the military newspaper, the Song people sneaked to the left near Lanzhou with 5,000 light soldiers, and originally wanted to cooperate with the Zoroastrian disciples in the city of Lanzhou, take the state city in one fell swoop, and then send it to Lingzhou, and at the same time suppress the crusade with the Lingzhou forbidden army and the Tubo coalition army, and coerce Wu Yingying to lead the Hexi army to return to the Song. Unexpectedly, the Inquisition in the city of Lanzhou learned of the Zoroastrian movements in advance, and the elders of the various sects were already quite jealous of the vigorous development of Zoroastrianism in Lanzhou, and immediately arrested several Zoroastrian newcomers from other places in Lanzhou in the name of heresy, and handed them over to Xiao Jiu's heavy camp for torture, and these disciples confessed to the sneak attack plan. Xiao Jiu immediately ordered the outposts on the periphery of Lanzhou to go out, and found out that the Song army actually had 3,000 iron cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers of the crane army.

"At present, there are only 1,000 foot soldiers in the two battalions of the Lianrui Army in the city of Lanzhou, 300 sergeants of the craftsman battalion to monitor nearly 10,000 slaves, and the 5,000 army of the Song people, with sufficient equipment, and they are very good at attacking the city. Chase grimaced. Although Xiao Jiu was appointed as the commander of the Lian Rui Army, the eight battalions of the Lian Rui Army are all in Hexi, and the captains have not yet taken a look.

"Liangzhou Tubo has been on the verge of moving in recent days, and has sent about 1,000 cavalry to the west many times to provoke, and has been taught a few times by my hussars, but they are still restless, it seems that Lingzhou Dong Zunhui has supported them, and has also given them a batch of armor and military rations. Xin Gu said in a deep voice, his wife Zhu is still in Lanzhou. Hexi had been fighting against the Uighur tribes who had resisted the Moe Hu system for several months, and he was unable to spare troops to escort his family members westward for reunion, and Wu Yingying, like other officers, was trapped in Lanzhou.

"It seems that the strategy of the Song people is to suppress our Hexi army with the Lingzhou Forbidden Army and Tubo, and to besiege Lanzhou with elite soldiers. If our army is weak, we will take Hexi easily, and if it is difficult to win for a while, we will coerce the lord to bow down and become a vassal. Yu Furenliang frowned, holding the handle of the knife hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out. His wife and children are also in Lanzhou, and the two boys are one twelve and one fifteen. "Since these days, the Yinxia party seems to have some moves, according to the news from the Di Jinze, the party and the state armies have a tendency to assemble in Youzhou, and Cai Jiyun, the sinister villain, seems to have a heart to take the chestnut in the fire. ”

"Fortunately, the Uighur state of Gaochang has no eastward direction for the time being, otherwise, our army would really be attacked from all sides. Zhang Zhongyao said slowly. Wu Yingying nodded to him, in addition to the training of the Sixth Army, he still retained the Ya Military Camp and the Chengying Battalion, and with Zhang Zhongyao's great contribution to Hexi, he was still condescended to the position of captain of the Chengying Battalion, Wu Yingying felt a little sorry for him in his heart, so the reception was also very close. The commanders of all the armies also knew that this was because the Chengying Battalion was self-contained, and the upper and lower levels were inseparable from this Captain Zhang's care, and they were also polite to Zhang Zhongyao, and they did not distinguish between the upper and lower levels.

All the generals had a heavy look on their faces, the Lanzhou army was thousands of miles west of the river, and although the response of the imperial court was slow for several months, once it was launched, it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, which made people quite overwhelmed. Wu Yingying, who was originally annoyed by the Song army's sneak attack on Lanzhou, smiled instead: "My family watched the people of Hexi fall into fire and water and didn't save them, but others saved them, and he made trouble again, if this court doesn't die, there will be no heavenly reason." “

He thought that Hexi was thousands of miles away from Lanzhou, separated by Liangzhou and Tubo, and the main force of the Northwest Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty stationed in Lingzhou, Linzhou Zhe's and Xiazhou's Cai's. When the Lanzhou army went around to the outside of the Seychelles and galloped thousands of miles to help take Hexi, the various forces could not react, or they had their own arms, and adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the Lanzhou army. At present, the Great Song Dynasty court is coordinating in the name of Zhengshuo, and if the Hexi army wants to return to Lanzhou, it will be difficult.

"It is difficult to quench the thirst of the near water, and between the last generals, it is better for the whole army to break through Liangzhou and Tubo to the east, besiege Lingzhou, and seek to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, give up the land of Lanzhou, and let the court General Rong Xiao organize the army to escort our dependents, craftsmen's camps, and the people who are willing to rely on our army to return to the west. Zhang Zhongyao ignored the gloomy faces of the generals whose families were all in Lanzhou, and cautiously offered advice.

When this remark came out, the big guys knew that it was the only feasible way at the moment, but they couldn't directly rescue their relatives trapped in Lanzhou, but fought with the Song army in the northwest, and it was difficult for anyone to decide, and everyone was silent for a while, and finally it was Wu Yingying's order: "Everyone and prepare for battle, and send troops to Liangzhou in three days." Seeing that the generals were still a little frustrated, Wu Yingying shouted: "The matter has come to this, the more our army fights here so that the Song people can't raise their heads, the more the Song people are in Lanzhou, Lingzhou is the northwest gateway of the Central Plains, the location is important, and Lanzhou is not the same." If our army shows the ability to conquer Lingzhou, as long as the Zhao clan is not stupid, they will not refuse to negotiate peace with us!"

When the generals heard Wu Yingying shouting, their expressions were shocked, Xin Gulu pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, pushed back the scabbard, and said viciously: "If the Song people dare to harm a certain family member, a certain person will kill Bianliang, polish ten fingers, and also kill the Zhao family." All the generals were evil and fearful, and each of them vented a few words, and hurriedly went back to rectify his subordinates. All the armies commanded Shi Gongda to return to the camp, and immediately convened the centurion and above officers to discuss the matter, first explained that the Song army would attack Lanzhou, and the army would attack Liangzhou and Lingzhou, and ordered all the officers to go down and prepare carefully. There are a large number of sergeants in the army who are from Tuhun and their families are in Lanzhou, and when they heard it, they were immediately in an uproar, and Pu Hangu, the captain of the high-hoof battalion, said angrily: "Bullying our family left in Lanzhou, even the king of heaven and Laozi will fight with him." Without waiting for the commander to supervise, all the sergeants fought hard and asked the division to return to the east.

Wu Yingying returned to his dormitory and pushed open the door, where the Uighur princess Elidai was looking down at a thin book, and stood up with an "ah" sound, and was at a loss to hide the secret book behind her back, her pretty face pale. After the return of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Jingqiong Khan sent Ali Dai to Wu Yingying's tent as agreed. For months, Wu Yingying recruited warriors from the Uighur tribes and distributed them to his tribes, asking Alysid to accompany him and reassure the people.
