Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Requires a Hundred Battles Chapter 1224 Pride
Originally, according to the agreement between Zhao Shi and Mu Huali, after breaking Fengzhou, Hedong would transport grain and grass to come over, but Mu Huali led the soldiers and horses, all the way over, and gained a lot of money......
In particular, Linzhou was rich and was the first Yulin city in Western Xia to surrender without a fight, and the grain and grass were enough for the army, so Mu Huali did not need to ask the Qin army for grain and grass from the east of the river
As for the soldiers and horses of the Qin army in Hedong, they did not move at all
On this, when Zhao Shi left the grassland, he explained it very clearly to Mu Huali
First, there are not many soldiers and horses in Hedong, and they have to be stationed in Taiyuan, Datong and other important military places, so there will be no weak troops in Hedong due to the summer war, which makes people have a chance
This is one of them, and the second, Zhao Shi is even more blunt, this battle can't let the grassland tribe sit too big, and the strength of the grassland tribe can be appropriately consumed, so as not to raise tigers
And the third, the attack on Western Xia, is just the beginning of the Qin army's conquest of the world, and today's Great Qin is very different from when it invaded Shu
At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops went south to attack Houshu, which could be regarded as the strength of the Great Qin country, which can be described as decades of savings and a battle
But nearly 20 years have passed, and now the Great Qin State has flourished, and there are Tubo, and the grassland tribes have helped to attack the Western Xia, which has allowed the Qin people to leave their spare strength to prevent others from watching
Like the soldiers and horses of Heluo, like the Hezhong, and the Qin army in Hedong, they can all be used for future use, and it can also be seen that the national strength of Great Qin is no longer comparable to other countries
The number of troops participating in this battle is actually the crown of the Qin people's successive dynasties, and the prosperity of the Qin people's national strength, which can be seen
Therefore, Mu Huali is also very clear about the purpose of this battle...... In fact, it can be seen from here that Zhao Shi's arrangement of the war has been extremely thorough, and his control of the overall situation is no longer comparable to that of the year
Without further ado, at this time, it has entered the summer Yulin rain, and the grass and trees have gradually begun to flourish, which is the best time of the year to raise cattle and sheep
But in this year, in the south of the river in Xixia, after a series of battles, the beacon smoke is everywhere, the battle clouds are dense, the army passes everywhere, the iron horses are vertical and horizontal, the corpses are in disarray, and the blood is flowing everywhere, and there is no peace in the past, a scene of slaughter and depression
However, as the soldiers and horses of the grassland tribe occupied Linzhou, the reinforcements of the Left Wing Army Division of the Western Xia were stationed in the Heavenly Wolf Plain, shaking and confronting each other, and the long-lost calm was restored on the battlefield
Since going south, the rushing grassland iron cavalry has stopped in Linzhou, and some people may think that they are afraid of the strength of the Left Wing Army, and do not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Left Wing Army, fearing that it will not be long before they will retreat to the grassland
But Li Yuanhan, who is the envoy of the Northeast Road of Western Xia and the head of the Left Wing Military Division, obviously does not think so
On the second day after he sent out his troops, the imperial court decree arrived at the station of the Left Wing Military Division, which was no different from what he expected, and ordered him to lead the army of the Left Wing Military Division to aid Fengzhou, and strive to ensure that Fengzhou was not lost, and when the enemy was weak, he could join forces with the Jianing Military Division to encircle and annihilate the enemy army and the city of Fengzhou
The words of the holy decree were very broad and even more careless, and it was obvious that the southward movement of the steppe tribe did not make the ministers of the court worry too much
There is the Left Wing Military Division stationed here, and the Jianing Military Division is on the side, especially, there is the famous Western Xia general Li Yuanhan in charge, and the little people and horses of the grassland Hu Barbarian can not be killed in Xingqing.
As soon as the grassland barbarians ran out of grain and grass, they all took it back
The thoughts of these ministers in the court, Li Yuanhan guessed it really, and he also knew that many people in the court were waiting for him to lose the battle, and it was good to die in battle, if the army was defeated and lost, someone would definitely take the opportunity to ask him for the blame, of course, the most anxious one must be the current emperor Xià, without him, his uncle Li Yuankang would be like cutting off an arm, such a good opportunity, in the eyes of the aging emperor Xià, but rare
Together, there will be no fewer people who fall into the well, their uncle and nephew have offended people over the years, maybe someone will take this opportunity to form a party and fight for power with their uncle, it is conceivable that if the Qin people in the south do not move again, the court will fight down, I don't know how many heads will be dropped......
Fengzhou Linzhou has fallen one after another, and the news has not been transmitted back, if it is in Beijing, I don't know what kind of turmoil will come out
This is the current situation in Western Xia, which makes people resentful, but also full of helplessness, if it weren't for these courtiers, Fengzhou, Linzhou would have disappeared so quickly, if it weren't for the rear constraints, he would not have delayed these days before going north to help
Now that the Left Wing Military Division is sitting on a large army, but seeing that the northern gateway is lost, is it really his Li Yuanhan's fault that he can't make a decision immediately?
Therefore, for Li Yuanhan, if the holy decree had arrived a few days earlier, it might still have some effect, but by this time, Fengzhou Linzhou had been lost, and the holy decree was just a dead letter, and the slow response of the imperial court and the speed of the grassland tribe's march had made the situation irreparable
He understood better that the opportunity had been lost, even if he only led 15,000 men and horses to station on the Heavenly Wolf Plain, the enemy still chose to stop the pace of the army, it would definitely not be that the enemy was really afraid of the Left Wing Military Division, but was waiting, waiting for the moment when the Qin people waved their troops north
But he didn't wait, as soon as the Qin people's march was revealed, he could master the soldiers and horses of the southeastern parts of Western Xia, and let go of his hands and feet, but ...... At that point, how much room will be left for him to maneuver?
Stopping in front of the big tent in the barracks, Li Yuanhan took a deep breath of the warm air with a bloody smell on the Sky Wolf Plain, looked at the dark and gloomy figure of Hengshan in the distance, and wanted to let out a long howl to comfort the depression in his heart
At the right time today, the building will fall, is it only he, Li Yuanhan, who has the strength to turn the tide?
He Li Yuanhan is a good man, born between heaven and earth, and has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years, but he is so uncomfortable, is it ...... Is Western Xia really going to die?
The ominous premonition was immediately thrown away by him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his body stood straight, and his arrogant and arrogant spirit was fully displayed......
Over the years, the Qin people have produced many heroes and expanded thousands of miles, but unfortunately, they have never used troops in the northwest, which is also a regret in Li Yuanhan's heart
Thinking like this, the pride in his chest suddenly rose......
"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the national chaos shows loyalty and goodness...... Li Yuanhan laughed, his decadence was gone, and his pride was flying
"Big brother, what are you talking about?"
Behind Li Yuanhan, a young man with a majestic figure and a beard on his face stood when he saw that he was happy, and he couldn't help but ask a simple question
Li Yuanhan turned around, this rough young man, is his cousin, brave and fearless, brave, since he was a child, he has the most respect for him, and when he grew up, he followed him
Of course, what he likes the most is that in this cousin, he can see the shadow of his cousin back then, because he has been repeatedly assassinated over the years, under the open guns and hidden arrows, he also needs such a person to follow him
"What the eldest brother said is that only when the world is in chaos can we show our ability, otherwise, what is the use of us leading soldiers?"
The young man was a straight-hearted, and he didn't understand what he heard, but he smiled and nodded, "Big brother is saying that if Fengzhou Linzhou or something is kept, we will be useless?" ”
Li Yuanhan shook his head and smiled, but patted the young man's strong shoulder, "Brother is right, do you dare to wait here with the eldest brother and have a good fight with those grassland barbarians?" ”
As soon as the young man heard about the battle, his eyes glowed strangely, like a wild beast smelling blood, and he opened his mouth and smiled, "I must cut off some big heads for my eldest brother, but unfortunately, those steppe barbarians dare not come...... I must be afraid of my big brother...... Why don't you step back and lure them over? ”
Nonsense, Li Yuanhan was happy to hear it, this cousin's mind is not enough, but it is precisely because of this that he can use it wholeheartedly, and it can deter people with ill intentions
"Aren't you afraid? I've heard what the people below said, the grassland barbarians have a lot of troops, we only have 15,000 people, and if we fight with the grassland barbarians here, we may have to suffer."
"They are timid and afraid of death, but I am not afraid...... Those steppe barbarians are here, they must show them how good I am."
"Okay, the courage is commendable, if the men in my party are like my brother, why worry about the great cause? It's a pity that there are too few warriors like Ah Di among my party members now, and they have long lost the courage of their ancestors, otherwise, who would dare to peek at my mountains and rivers? ”
"Big brother is unhappy again, Brother has long said that those wastes inside can't even hold the knife tightly, why listen to them? It's better to kill all the things and push the eldest brother to call the shots, wouldn't it be happy? ”
Li Yuanhan raised his eyebrows, rarely did not reprimand anything, but looked back into the distance, and after a while, he smiled in a low voice, "This time, if our brothers survive, we can't give it a try......
That night, Li Yuanhan wrote a letter to his uncle, in which he made it clear that Fengzhou and Linzhou had fallen, but after that, he said that there was quite a change in Yanzhou, which was probably a harbinger of the Qin people's army, and he had to check it
In fact, at this time, he did not get any news of any movement in the direction of Yanzhou, and Li Yuanhan has been fulfilling his duties so far in leading the troops, and has never exceeded half a point
But at this time, this lie seems to have no scruples, and the change of mentality can be seen......
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for praise) (To be continued......)
