"That's not right!"

Li Bingqian suddenly thought that there seemed to be a Xuanhua Mansion between them. Xuanhua Mansion may be strange to the Han Chinese.

But what about Ganzhou?

If it's still unfamiliar, what about Zhangye?

This is a county town on the map of the empire since ancient times, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was reduced to the state capital of Western Xia, and it has to be said that this city will make every Song person who comes here resentful.

Of course, Li Bingqian couldn't feel this kind of feeling, and the reason why he was nervous, confused, and even puzzled was mainly because Xuanhua Mansion seemed to be very difficult to fight. It will not be easier to fight than Xiliangfu at all.

Ganzhou and Liangzhou are the names of the Song people, and they are also the largest natural grasslands in Western Xia. It was the main area for grazing war horses in Western Xia. The two royal horse farms of Western Xia are located in these two places. Xuanhua Mansion had the finest war horses in Western Xia, as well as the most elite cavalry units. And the vanguard army led by Li Kui, not to mention the vanguard army, even if it is Li Bingqian's Chinese army, the number of war horses is far from enough, and it can only be filled with camels, cows, mules, and all kinds of livestock.

Li Bingqian exclaimed: "We will pass through Xuanhua Mansion in the near future, in case we are attacked from front to back, will we still have a way to live?" ”

Li Bingqian only had the 2,000 men he brought from the Mibao tribe, plus the 3,000 cavalry of the Heishui Army, to be truly considered cavalry. In cavalry combat, infantry, and even Western Xia weapons, infantry with a shortage of equipment, could not go to the battlefield at all.

To go to the battlefield is a burden.

The leader of the escort said disapprovingly: "There are not many people in Xuanhua Mansion, isn't it easy for the general to capture the city by taking the city?"

Li Bingqian was stunned, he couldn't understand how Li Kui couldn't even recognize a few of his leaders when he sent out the army, why did he only march on the road for a few days, and the soldiers actually loved him like this?

Compared to Li Kui, he is simply a waste.

It can't be said that Li Bingqian feels that in terms of lofty ideals, he wants Gao Yeli to be a big part. The real waste is Yejian.

He didn't have the heart to ask about Li Kui's brilliant achievements, so he found Yelijian and got straight to the point: "Li Kui has conquered Xuanhua Mansion." ”

"Impossible, right?"

Although Li Bingqian also said so before, but in the face of Ye Lijian, can he grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? It is absolutely impossible, I don't know where the confidence came from, so that his slightly rickety back straightened a lot, and he said with a high spirit: "I can't even take a small Xuanhua Mansion, what hope do we have to attack Xingqing Mansion?" It is naturally a good thing that Li Kui can take down Xuanhua Mansion, if he can't beat it, it's a big deal for us to follow and take down Xuanhua Mansion! ”

Who is Li Bingqian?

was an idle prince before, so forget it.

Now, he is the leader of these tens of thousands of rebels, and he is doing the business of killing heads.

Even if he was about to drip out of his heart about what Li Kui had done, in terms of tone, he must despise any obstacle in front of him. It's just a Xuanhua Mansion, if they can't even take this broken place, they dare to say with a shy face that they want to go to Xingqing Mansion and restore the Li family's orthodox status in Western Xia?

Ye Lijian is also a person who has no way out, since the day he betrayed the national teacher, he can only hope that Li Bingqian will succeed, otherwise he must be one of the people who die without a place to be buried.

It seems that Xuanhua Mansion is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded casually. But in fact, this place has been established since the Han Dynasty, and it has always been an important town in the northwest, with high walls and thick walls, plus Li Bingqian's Huazi soldiers, I am afraid that there is not much chance to take this city. Ye Lijian said worriedly: "Great King, you also know that Li Kui is not our person after all, and it is difficult to say whether he can do his best for us. Let me see that I have to arrange someone around him so that I can restrain him. ”

"Fei Tingdoro is by his side......" Speaking of his cronies, Li Bingqian couldn't help but feel empty. When Li Kui faced him, he dared to scare him, threaten him, and even mockingly bully him...... Fei Tingdoro is just his minion, and it is strange that Li Kui can listen to him.

Thinking of this, Li Bingqian couldn't sit still, and said eagerly: "No, I have to go to the vanguard battalion to supervise the battle, in case these 5,000 people are damaged, it will be very disadvantageous to my army." ”

"The king is wise." Ye Lijian didn't believe Li Kui at all, he, like Li Bingqian, encountered Li Kui's inhumane threat of falsification of evidence, and wrote a lot of letters of rebellion, and finally he didn't know where Li Kui was sent.

Of course, he also hopes that Li Kui will be well.

Only if Li Kui is well, he and Li Bingqian can be safe and sound.

At least if the reputation is not bad, use some means to snarn cronies, as long as the army under their command does not disperse, they can still divide the big man of one side.

"Three thousand elite soldiers?"

As soon as he agreed with Li Bingqian's idea, suddenly Li Bingqian asked for 3,000 elite soldiers, which made Ye Lijian want to scold people a little. How many people are there in the Chinese army, and how many are the real elite soldiers? Even the monk Yeligian can see that they are all a rabble, and if the elite is really withdrawn. If there is an accident in the barracks, won't he have to finish?

Besides, Li Kui is still in partnership with Li Bingqian. Does it make sense to take so many people there?

What do you have to be afraid of dying, so that you don't have enough people around you?

"Brother Xian, don't panic. As a brother, this is also to put some pressure on Li Kui, otherwise, he is a Song man, if he really sets us up behind his back, we won't be able to cry. ”

This truth is true, and Yeligian can't refuse.

Subsequently, Li Bingqian was so anxious that he asked people to gather troops and horses, and chased after him mightily.

Before leaving, he admonished Yeligian to speed up his march. Prepare to accept the grain left by Li Kui.

When the army is dispatched, food is the key. Blackwater City couldn't give Li Bingqian much grain and grass. This is also the predicament of Blackwater, which often has to accept relief from the royal court due to famine. Once the Blackwater Army wants to protect the emperor, the Liang clan will definitely cut off the grain and grass in Blackwater City. It can be said that this hand will only press the 50,000 Blackwater Army in Blackwater City and cannot move.

As the main general of the Blackwater Army, Hua Tingchun must have an idea.

But this idea, limited to the lack of resources he could control, had to be pressed.

Until Li Bingqian appeared.

Of course, the royal family also had ways to check other tribes. Cavalry is a good tool. In the territory of Western Xia, the Hetao Plain, which was originally used as pasture, was reclaimed to grow grain. The only remaining grasslands in China are Ganzhou and Liangzhou, that is, Xuanhua and Xiliangfu. On weekdays, the imperial court herded most of the domestic war horses in the pasture, and the pasture naturally belonged to the emperor.

When it was time for war, the emperor would transport war horses to various tribes.

The party was originally a nomadic people, and most of the people could ride horses, and they were also good at using cavalry tactics. The party members who did not have war horses were inferior to the Han people in Western Xia. How could he do rebellious things because he was dissatisfied with the emperor? Even if they wanted to, they had to have a war horse.

The dignified Black Water Army, because it is in the border fortress, the number of war horses on weekdays does not exceed 10,000.

It is equivalent to 50,000 elite cavalry, and 40,000 people will have to rely on their legs to fight.

After Li Bingqian took away the 3,000 cavalry, he immediately made Ye Lijian sit on pins and needles, and if he encountered horse bandits, he might even kneel. Because how can the infantry pursue the cavalry?

Hurry up, he still arrived at the destination when the last wave of pioneers left Xuanhua Mansion.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising from the city, he didn't know whether to be happy. Or should we cry?

Xuanhua Mansion has been defeated, which is an unexpected joy.

But you can burn down Xuanhua Mansion, this is too much, right?

"Fei listen, get the dog stuff over here!"

From afar, Li Bingqian saw Fei Tingdoro, the commander jumping up and down, moving things. A Xuanhua Mansion is really not big, in the Western Han Dynasty, this place was just a border, and later ...... into the inland. Even during the Tang Dynasty, this place was not a frontier. The city is in disrepair, and the scale has not been expanded, and the city is very small.

Actually, don't look at the famous castles.

Unless it is like the Central Plains of Kaifeng, Chang'an and other cities, with a radius of hundreds of miles. But most of them are the kind of cities with a wall of no more than two miles, which is already considered large. Even smaller ones are the kind of cities that are about a mile long.

Even if Xuanhua Mansion is a little better, it can't help but rob five thousand Huazi.

Grain.

Belongings.

Even women.

I just didn't see any animals.

When Fei Tingdoro heard that the prince was coming, he took steady steps and ran over like a corpse, but before the person arrived, he sang praises for himself: "Great joy, great king! The minions helped the king knock down the Xuanhua Mansion. ”

Li Bingqian raised the whip in mid-air and said that he couldn't fall down, if he beat someone, he would be a harsh and meritorious person, and if it was passed out, who would follow him in the future?

If he didn't fall, the anger in his heart would not be quenched.

Finally holding back the anger that was about to explode in his chest, Li Bingqian pointed at Fei Tingdoro with a horsewhip and said angrily: "Dog minion, how can I warn you when I come?" ”

"Listen to General Lee."

Fei listened to Doro hesitate and asked, and after speaking, he shrank his neck and felt that his prince was a little abnormal. At the beginning, Li Bingqian told him very cautiously that staring at Li Kui, wherever the army went, he would not commit any crimes.

But when he really entered the process of rebellion, he understood that the prince was definitely idealized.

He really thought that if he raised his arms and shouted, countless people followed? Not to mention anything else, even if it is a warrior from the Mibao tribe, the elite that the prince has worked hard to cultivate, and the black water army can enter the city to rob unscrupulously, and has repeatedly asked Li Kui not to be special, don't treat them as people, and treat them as beasts in human skin to continue to be friends.

People have no control over crime, especially group crime that does not require responsibility.

In fact, after entering Xuanhua Mansion, the people of the Mibao tribe were happier than anyone who robbed them. They are not like the Blackwater Army called Hanako, who want everything and are reluctant to do anything. The warriors of the Mi Bao tribe only pick the expensive ones and grab the good ones. This does not mean that he is much more noble than the Blackwater Army. On the contrary, Li Kui and the subordinates he brought were unmoved.

This made Fei Tingdoro understand the true meaning of elite.

Whether it was Luda, Pang Wanchun, or even Ruan Xiaoer, Lu Qian and others who came from Longzhou, they did not have any greed for the property in the city. Although there are not many people commanded by Li Kui, the people who follow Li Kui are undoubtedly the real elite.

Fei Ting Doro was helpless, so he had to lower his voice and say to Li Bingqian: "King, if you want the army to pass through the autumn without committing any crimes, it is simply impossible. Someone will do it secretly. It's better to set a rule for everyone to rob, so that everyone is happy and morale is even higher. ”

Li Bingqian felt that he couldn't ask for this minion, and he had only been with Li Kui for a few days before he defected.

He, Li Bingqian, the prince of Western Xia, still maintained a considerable integrity in front of Li Kui. It's just that for a bigger matter, I had to write a few confessions and other letters, but ...... The flaws are not hidden, he is still the noble prince of Western Xia. From beginning to end, he did not take himself lightly.

Li Bingqian glared angrily and said, "What about General Li? ”

"I'm going to the horse farm to catch the war horses."

Li Kui did not rush to kill all of them this time, and the officials in the racecourse were all innocent. It's just that the whole family asked him to take it with him, so that the officials of the horse farm could recognize their relatives.

Of course, the surrender is naturally entrusted to high-ranking officials, and if he encounters someone who does not know how to lift, he will also send their whole family on the road very politely!

On the two roads of the road and the mountain, none of the officials chose to be stubborn and disobedient.

When tens of thousands of war horses were driven from the horse farm to the outside of Xuanhua City, the deafening hooves of the horses rumbled like rolling thunder, and in an instant, it seemed that the earth was trembling.

Li Bingqian looked at such a large number of war horses in surprise, and spoke for a long time in astonishment.

He had never felt that Li Kui was so capable, and in an instant, he helped him build an iron cavalry of tens of thousands of horses.

Li Bingqian brewed his emotions for a while, ready to praise Li Kui with the posture of a king, and exuded the beauty of appreciation. This feeling is like Emperor Jing meeting Zhang Yuan, and Li Bingqian doesn't mind giving Li Kui an official position as prime minister, as long as he can sit on the throne of the emperor of Western Xia.

But what made Li Bingqian very aggrieved was that Li Kui had no intention of contacting Li Bingqian. Instead, he ordered Fei Tingdoro: "The whole army is on horse, set off immediately, and must rush to Xiliang Mansion within two days to prepare for a big fight." ”

"General, prince, prince is here!" Fei Tingduoluo was so frightened that he hurriedly pointed in the direction of Li Bingqian and reminded Li Kui. Li Kui found out that Li Bingqian was present, but after this guy wore a suit of armor, he was a little different from the idle prince who was wilting, and he didn't recognize it at first sight.

"Lord, hard work!"

"General, hard work!"

The two really didn't have anything to say, Li Bingqian had been Li Kui's prisoner before, and then he was coerced by Li Kui, and then he was instigated by Li Kui to rebel.

Now, Li Bingqian has no turning back.

And Li Kui's rebellion in Western Xia has entered the regular stage.

In the face of Li Kui's insistence, Li Bingqian could not refuse at all. After all, Li Kui is helping him fight the world, although the purpose is very impure, but the result is good, and it is so good that he can't believe it.

It was very hard to travel, and two days later, I arrived outside Xiliang Mansion.

Li Kui, with a cavalry guard of 500 people, rushed out of the team and rushed straight to the gate of Xiliangfu towards the official road.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were still dumbfounded, and Li Kui took the city gate.

An army of 8,000 swarmed up, and Xiliang Mansion was in a catastrophe.

Li Bingqian, who was standing on the slope, saw this scene, and his heart was full of joy, as if he had entered not Xiliang Mansion, but Xingqing Mansion, and said with emotion: "It's really a black whirlwind!" ”
