Chapter 422: Appearance
"Although Guanzhong is the residence of the emperor, as long as Cao Han guards the Xinguan of Hangu according to the four places of Luoyang, it is not easy for the Xia army to send Hangu. When the foam was splashing, Wang Yu did not forget to straighten the crooked long-winged hat, and continued, "Our country is attacked on both sides, and the west is already invincible in the Xia country, but the Liao people in the east more than 100,000 cavalry threaten Hebei from time to time, and they can drink the Mabian River for a few days, and they are the troubles of the henchmen, a few months ago, Zhang Yongde and Liu Yan let the division return to the division to support it, it is a last resort to take risks, the 100,000 troops who returned to the division, 60,000 soldiers were given to Cao Han to seize Hangu Pass, and only 40,000 soldiers were brought back to Yingzhou by Liu Yanrang, Dingzhou, Hebei's troops are empty, and they can only protect themselves in the infant city, how can they draw troops again. There is no danger to defend Bianliang, so it can only be risked by soldiers, and the 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in the Tunjing Division are for emergency use, and they cannot be transferred. ”
"Although Wang Qing is reasonable," Zhao Dezhao's face was slightly excited, but his bearing was still very calm, he had been suppressed by Zhao Jiong for more than ten years, and his temper far exceeded that of his father, and he was more respectful than angry at Wang Yu who dared to face the court fight, "But the Xia thief took advantage of the chaos to enter the main pass, and if he cut off his left arm, Cai Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, deceived him to death, and now he continues to write letters to his former ministers, inviting Wu Yingying to buy people's hearts. If Guanzhong and Bashu are lost, China's prefectures and counties, wealth, and household registration will be one of them, and I will see Taizu underground. ”
"Moreover, according to the news reported by the Imperial Emperor, the Liao people have entered Lingzhou, and Wu Yingying has also been attacked from both sides, and he is hesitating between Baoguan or Baohexi, and I will add troops to Cao Han to make him under greater pressure and withdraw his troops back to Hexi. Zhao Dezhao said in a deep voice, "Hedong is newly defeated, the Khitan lord is stationed in Yunzhou, and Zhang Yongde and Pan Mei have not yet decided on the handover, so it is inconvenient to draw troops." Hebei is empty, and can only protect itself, nor can it draw troops. Only by drawing another 30,000 troops from the Bianliang garrison forbidden army to Cao Han will definitely take Hangu Pass. ”
"Your Majesty. Wang Yu was still arguing, but he heard Zhao Dezhao say in a deep voice: "My will has been decided, Wang Qing will make a decree for me." He had a determined expression on his face, and if he wanted to be the true lord of the world, he could not be afraid of it.
"Zhao Dezhao added troops to Hangu Pass, and firmly stuck the Xia people in the pass. Xiao Xuan handed a copy of the recital to Han Derang, "It's time for Yelu to cross the Helan Valley Road and enter the river meander." With two points of pride and three points of joy on her face, sending troops to attack Xia was the first time she had rebelled against Han Derang's decision since she took power.
Han Derang snorted, put the fold on the table, and didn't look at it. Since being placed under house arrest, Xiao Sui has been in and out with him, and has never avoided handling military affairs, in order to show that his trust is undiminished. Seeing this situation, the officials of the Northern Court knew that the privy envoy of the Southern Court had not fallen out of favor, and they were also polite to the officials of the Southern Court who were monitoring and seizing.
Xiao Xuan's eyes fluttered, and he smiled slightly, but he didn't speak. After a while, Han Derang finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and picked up the military newspaper, stared at it carefully, and after reading this letter, without waiting for Xiao Xuan to speak, he picked up the military information that Bianliang carefully reported again, and looked at it at a glance. After reading it, he put the military newspaper aside, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Even the herdsmen on the grassland are fighting for the Xia Kingdom, and Yelu is attacking far away with light troops, and it is so difficult to go deep into Lingzhou and even the west of the Longyou River." ”
At the southern end of Helan Valley Road, a wolf smoke rose straight into the sky, Yelu looked at the scorched black grass in front of him with emotion, the strong walls of the Xia people were too thorough. Fortunately, the forward scouts had already spotted a large number of fleeing civilians, "Catch up with them!" Yelu ordered in a deep voice, patting the horses that had lost some weight from starvation, and lifting the reins.
When the Liao State Detective appeared on the fence horse, the alarm of "Liao people are coming!" sounded at the same time, provoking a huge reaction in the evacuation team of the people in the north of Lingzhou. The fleeing people panicked, many children began to cry loudly, women scolded children, and men driving the carts were in a mess, some wanted to overtake the team and run south, some rushed towards the few sergeants, and many more were at a loss.
Hussar Captain Shang Zhongxin regretted very much that he did not force the residents to leave all their burdens behind at the retreat site, slowing down the retreat, and he really wanted to burn all the mess at that time, but the villagers knelt down and begged him one by one, and now it was useless to regret it. He took a deep breath, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and let the horse run, while using the scabbard to beat the households who were running around like headless flies, and shouted: "Stand in place!"
The military order of the captain immediately took effect, and the hussars immediately rode their horses and ran in all directions, "Array!" "The regimental training is out!" "The people of Huaiyuan Town are lined up here!" With the hussar sergeant's order, the people who were originally shouting and chaotic quieted down, and the regimental training strong men armed with spears and bows and arrows began to line up.
The old shopkeeper Liu of Huaiyuan Town took out the bundled spear from the cart, and the guys Zhang Chang, Wu Fifteen, Liu Fatai, and Luo Ba each took one stalk. Liu Di also took the spear out of the cart, and Liu Wang, who was holding his little daughter in the cart, had his eyes full of worry, but he bit his lip tightly and said nothing. Liu Di glanced back and ran out, the outside was already crowded with regimental training, everyone stood in line according to the queue of the winter drill, Liu Di heard the heavy breathing of his companions, and was about to look left and right to align and align, and suddenly heard Yao Guoyi, a sergeant of the hussars, shouting: "Look ahead!" Liu Di twisted his neck, looked ahead in a daze, his left arm hung down and pressed against his body, and his right hand involuntarily clenched the spear. "Take three steps forward!" 100 regimental trainers took three steps forward with their left feet.
Nearly 20,000 women, children, old and weak were circled in the middle of the cart, the altars and jars were all lifted down, more than 5,000 archers stood on the cart, the outermost circle surrounded nearly 10,000 spearmen, Shang Zhongxin drove the war horse around the huge formation galloped around, a little dissatisfied frowned, he personally trained the Huile County regimental training is not in the meantime, and the Huile orchestra practice is the most neat in the whole Lingzhou.
"Don't cry, oh oh. Inside the car array, Liu Wang's family lowered his head and coaxed his daughter, many young households who had newly moved to Lingzhou have added men and women in recent years, and these children born and raised in the war-torn wasteland seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and many of them obediently buried their heads in their mother's chest and slept sweetly. Shopkeeper Liu, whose face was full of wrinkles, held a bow in his left hand and two arrows in his right hand, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
