It is not too difficult for Yidong Factory to come up with such a detailed map, and it can even be said that if he is willing to work hard, as long as he dispatches the powerhouses of the realm of heaven and man to personally survey the terrain, he can do this in a very short time.

Qinzhou is located in Qinfeng Road, Fengxiang Mansion, away from the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, Xingqing Mansion is actually not too far away, if the straight-line distance is only hundreds of miles away.

From Qinzhou to the northwest, along the way are Lanzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou and Guyumen Pass, which is the route of the Silk Road in the past.

With the establishment of the Western Xia state, this golden road on land naturally fell into the hands of the Tangut people, at least an extremely important section of the Silk Road is in the border of the Tangut country.

Relying on this road, the Western Xia had access to a steady stream of resources, so that the Western Xia had the confidence to confront the Great Song Dynasty.

Chu Yi's eyes swept over the map, and at a glance he saw the state cities through which the marked Silk Road passed, these state cities can be said to be important nodes on the Silk Road, all guarded by Western Xia soldiers and horses.

However, relatively speaking, the Western Xia soldiers and horses are more located in the border towns that are handed over to the Great Song Dynasty, and the two countries have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border land, and there are constant conflicts of all sizes every year, and this never-ending conflict alone will kill and wound at least thousands of people every year.

Tong Guan, who had been sitting there all the time, was suddenly shocked, and he heard Chu Yi say to him: "Tong Jian Jun, you have been in the northwest for many years, and you must have a very deep understanding of Western Xia. ”

Tong Guan hesitated slightly, glanced at the map, and then said slowly: "If the chief manager is determined, then Tong suggested that the chief manager should divide the troops into three routes, respectively from Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Military Road, and Hedong Road, and enter the territory of Western Xia with the mighty army, and should do his best in one battle......"

In fact, anyone with a little military common sense can see from the map that since the Hengshan line fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, the situation between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes.

It can be said that the first line of Hengshan fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and the hinterland of the Western Xia was completely exposed to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, in the absence of Chu Yi's appearance, it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were destroyed by the Mengyuan that the Western Xia was destroyed by the Mengyuan.

In fact, with the strength of the Western Army and the support of the imperial court, even if it cannot completely destroy the Western Xia, I am afraid that it can completely cripple the Western Xia, and it is no problem to occupy most of the territory of the Western Xia.

However, since the Western Army seized the Hengshan Line and occupied an absolute advantage in the confrontation with the Western Xia, the ministers in the imperial court seemed to be collectively blind, as if they could not see the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia.

Later, the Western Army was requisitioned to extinguish the Manichaean rebellion in Jiangnan, and in the final analysis, it was nothing more than the Son of Heaven and many civil servants in the court who felt the threat from the Western Army.

The Western Army itself has been fighting with the Western Xia for many years, and it is already the strongest soldier and horse in the Great Song Army, and the soldiers who can fight well in the Great Song Dynasty are all in the Western Army, but the Great Song Dynasty has always been heavy on literature and suppressing the military.

In this case, even if he pretended to be deaf and dumb, like a blind man, he could not see the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia, and he would definitely not give the Western Army a chance to sit big.

Tong Guan, as the supervisor of the Western Army, naturally knows the little thoughts in the court, but he is in command of the troops, and he has to avoid suspicion, even if he knows that he has the opportunity to try to hit and even destroy the Western Xia, but for various reasons, he can only suppress the thoughts in his heart.

Now that he heard Chu Yi ask for his suggestion, Tong Guan naturally said what he wanted to do but couldn't do in his life.

Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Military Road, and Hedong Road, these three roads are adjacent to Western Xia, and they are surrounded by a large number of Western Xia.

Such as Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and others listened to Tong Guan's suggestion and showed a look of approval on their faces, obviously Tong Guan's idea is extremely reliable, and it is also very safe, although it is said that the division of troops is suspicious, but when the division of troops is naturally necessary, it is not that the division of troops will necessarily lead to a big defeat.

However, Chu Yi nodded first, and then shook his head and said: "The idea of the Tong Jian Army is indeed extremely safe, but in this case, it will inevitably take a long time for several large armies to conquer, and Chu wants to go straight to Huanglong and destroy Western Xia in one battle." ”

Saying that, Chu Yi pressed one hand on the map marked Xingqing Mansion, Xingqing Mansion is where the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom is located, if it is really possible to attack the Xingqing Mansion, then the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom will not be far from falling.

If a country falls, then the country is destroyed, at least formally.

Tong Guan was slightly stunned, with a somewhat wry smile on his face, compared to Chu Yi's domineering, his previous thoughts were obviously too conservative.

I have to say that although Chu Yi's idea is very domineering, it is also extremely direct, if he can really attack Xingqing Mansion, it is naturally much more convenient and effective than his suggestion of dividing troops into three ways.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Guan said to Chu Yi: "If this is the case, Tong suggested that the chief manager go north from Qinzhou, take Yanzhou as a breakthrough point, and go straight to Xiping Mansion, after which Xiping Mansion is Xingqing Mansion, the heart of Xixia, if Xixia does not want to sit back and watch my army go straight to its capital division, then Xixia will inevitably block it in Xiping Mansion." ”

Chu Yi bowed slightly, his eyes swept over the crowd, and even though he issued military orders one by one, a famous general who quickly received the military orders led out of the mansion and went straight to the military camp.

The army, which had been repaired in Qinzhou for three days, marched north again, stretching for hundreds of miles, and it was not possible to reach it in three or two days.

Just after Chu Yi made the decision to smash Huanglong and force Western Xia to fight a decisive battle in Xiping Mansion, the army did not hide its own movements and headed in the direction of Yanzhou.

The spies sent by the Tangut people were obviously able to deduce from the route of Chu Yi's army that Chu Yi's target was Yanzhou.

Xingqing Mansion, in the royal city, Li Qianshun was discussing the strategy of dealing with the Great Song Dynasty with a group of Western Xia courtiers, some ministers clamored to raise the army in the country to teach the Great Song a lesson, and some people also suggested that they negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, even if it was to cede several state cities to the Great Song Dynasty, it was not impossible to negotiate.

In the final analysis, the court is divided into the main battle faction and the main peace faction, and even the wall-riding faction has no room to gain a foothold, so it can only choose between the two.

According to the suggestion of the officials of the main and faction, the Western Xia can send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they are vassals to the Great Song Dynasty, even if they cut off the royal title and cede the state city, then they will definitely be able to impress the Great Song Emperor.

Such a suggestion was naturally stimulating, and the crown prince Li Renxiao pointed at those officials of the main peace faction and scolded him in front of the court.

Li Qianshun, who was sitting in the first place, looked at the people on both sides of the dispute below, no matter how much Li Qianshun disliked those officials of the Lord and faction, but look at the important ministers of the Lord and faction, if he really wanted to get angry and put these people in prison, he was afraid that the entire Western Xia court would fall into a semi-paralyzed state the next day.

Coughing lightly, Li Qianshun's gaze swept over the group of people below, and then said to the officials of the Lord and faction: "Dong Qing's family's suggestion is not unreasonable, since this is the case, Lao Dongqing's family will lead a team to personally go to the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang and his party, meet the Great Song Emperor, and strive for a glimmer of life for my Western Xia." ”

Saying that, Li Qianshun slowly got up and saluted Dong Heyi: "The fate of Xixia is all in the hands of Qing, and I hope that the Qing family will go here to seek a hundred years of national fortune for my Xixia." ”

Dong He stroked his beard, and when he heard this, he bowed to Li Qianshun and said, "The ministers will live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

The faces of the officials of the Lord and the faction were filled with a little joy, and they were obviously very satisfied that Li Qianshun was able to adopt their suggestions.

However, the faces of the officials of the main battle faction became quite difficult to look at one by one, and one of the generals said angrily to Li Qianshun: "Your Majesty, when did I Xixia fear the Great Song Dynasty, since the beginning of the founding of the country, my Western Xia has been fighting with the Great Song Dynasty continuously, year after year, He has suffered any big losses, this time the Great Song Dynasty conquered my Western Xia, I am afraid that it will be the same as in the past, and it will be over." ”

After saying this, the general clenched his fists and said: "The last general and others implore Your Majesty to allow us to send troops, and the last general is willing to guarantee with the head of the Xiang Shang, and this battle will definitely kill the Song people." ”

Many officials of the main battle faction immediately stood up, bowed down and shouted: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Li Qianshun glanced at the officials of the Lord and the faction, with a little embarrassment on his face, and then slowly spoke: "I ...... I agreed, and the prince obeyed. ”

I saw the crown prince Li Renxiao get up, stepped forward and said, "The child is here." ”

Li Qianshun looked at Li Renxiao and said: "I have appointed you as the general manager of Zhendong, supervising the soldiers and horses in the country, and the main battle against the Great Song Dynasty." ”

For Li Qianshun to hand over the military power to Li Renxiao, the people present did not feel strange, you must know that Li Qianshun's will was to hand over all the power of the Western Xia soldiers and horses to the so-called Zhendong governor, in this case, except for the royal family, Li Qianshun is afraid that he will not dare to hand it over to anyone else.

Li Renxiao immediately said: "The child takes the order." ”

As for the officials of the main peace faction, they couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw this situation, but when they saw Li Qianshun suddenly get up and announce his retirement from the dynasty, it was too late to say anything.

Some officials of the Lord and faction wanted to step forward to stop Li Qianshun, but they were pulled by their companions.

Here, the Western Xia had lords and officials sent officials to Bianliang City in the Great Song Dynasty, while the crown prince Li Renxiao requisitioned soldiers and horses from all over the country to prepare for war.

The Western Xia has also been established for nearly a hundred years, and there are many soldiers and horses, especially this time, it can be said that the whole country is fighting with the strength of the whole country, and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered in a short period of time.

Of course, the number of 300,000 soldiers and horses is indeed a lot, but among them, they can be regarded as elite, in fact, it is good to have 100,000 when they are full.

In Ning County, Xiping Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in this lower county, which had no fame in the past, and the news that Chu Yi led his army straight to Yanzhou had already been discovered by Western Xia a few days ago.

Li Renxiao did not hesitate to lead all the soldiers and horses to Xiping Mansion, and after some consideration, he finally chose the decisive place in Ning County.

The land of Ningxian County, a plain land within a radius of hundreds of miles, can be said to be the most suitable for cavalry combat.

Anyway, it has been with the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the details of the Great Song Dynasty are very clear, the Great Song Dynasty infantry is strong, and the ability to defend the city is not bad, but the difference is that the cavalry is too bad, and it is simply not on the table.

It's just that Li Renxiao and others also know that since the fall of Dajin, the Great Song Dynasty has not lacked war horses, but war horses are war horses, and cavalry is not just a war horse.

It was only a year since the fall of Dajin, and they didn't believe that the Great Song Dynasty could train a strong cavalry in such a short time.

Therefore, Li Renxiao chose the place of the decisive battle in this plain, the purpose of which was to use the power of the Western Xia cavalry to give the Great Song Dynasty a blow.

The Western Xia serial horse, Tiefutu, is famous, and it is also where the pride of the Western Xia people lies.

On this day, a team of men and horses appeared outside the Western Xia soldiers and horses camp, and one of them rode out, and it was a messenger sent by Li Qianshun.

Li Renxiao went out of the camp, met the messenger, and learned that the envoy had come to lead the way for the Tibetan reinforcements, and Li Renxiao was overjoyed.

You must know that as Chu Yi's troops and horses are getting closer and closer to Yanzhou, Li Renxiao's mood can't help but become a little anxious, because they are definitely not Chu Yi's opponent in Western Xia, so Li Renxiao has been praying that Tubo's reinforcements can come as soon as possible.

Finally, I looked forward to the stars and the moon, and I looked forward to the reinforcements of the Tubo people.

With the messenger, Li Renxiao saw from a distance that the person in charge was the one who had gone to the Great Snow Mountain not long ago to meet the Buddha's master.

The lord of Tubo is the lord of a country, and it is obviously impossible to appear in Western Xia, but he did not expect that it would be Gu Mozhi who led the reinforcements this time.

Behind Gu Mozhi is a team of men and horses exuding a murderous atmosphere, there are a lot of people, but it is not too much, according to Li Renxiao's experience, this army of soldiers and horses is about more than 10,000 people.

Driving the horse forward, Li Renxiao saluted to Gu Mozhi and said: "Renxiao has seen the national teacher, and the national teacher has come from afar to help me in Western Xia, and Renxiao is grateful." ”

Gu Mozhi smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, this time the poor monk led the pro-guard army to come, just to participate in the grand event with Western Xia." ”

Li Renxiao looked behind Gu Mozhi, but he didn't see the figure of the Buddha Master, his eyes showed a little disappointment, and Gu Mozhi obviously noticed the change in Li Renxiao's expression and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the Buddha Lord has gone down the mountain, and when it should appear, it will definitely appear." ”

Hearing what Gu Mozhi said, Li Renxiao's heart relaxed, and said with a little joy: "So everything is ready, just wait for Chu Yi to come and send him to death." ”

A few days later, the mighty army broke through Yancheng like a bamboo, broke through the checkpoints, and went straight to the land of Western Xia.

If the more than 100,000 troops were scattered at this time, it would inevitably cause chaos in Western Xia, but Chu Yi's goal was very clear, that is, a battle would be decided.

The Western Xia was able to grasp Chu Yi's marching route, and the changes in the Western Xia Kingdom, Dongchang was also clearly investigated, and Chu Yi was very satisfied with the Xiping Mansion of Li Renxiao, the prince of Western Xia.

If it is said that Xixia is hiding and playing guerrilla warfare with him, to be honest, Chu Yi is not in the mood to attack a little bit, and now Li Renxiao is so cooperative to integrate Xixia soldiers and horses to fight with him, it is better.

After Yancheng, it is a land of flat rivers, but the speed of the original march of forty or fifty miles a day has suddenly decreased, and it is only twenty or thirty miles a day.

For the Song army's marching speed dropped sharply, in fact, Li Renxiao, Gu Mozhi and others did not feel strange, obviously the Song army was recuperating in a slow march, otherwise, the march all the way, I am afraid that before the battle, the army will collapse.
