The so-called northwest, generally refers to the Hexi Plain of the West Heyuan and the West Liang Corridor, which divides the two large states of the Great Qi court, Shaanzhou and Liangzhou, the central capital is in the territory of Shaanxi, it is the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, and it is even more than the Jiangdu in the south of the Yangtze River and the god capital in the world.

In the Dazheng period, the grassland invaded Shaanzhou several times, and even forced Yuzhou through Shaanzhou, forcing the Dazheng court to take Zhongdu as a military town, garrisoning 200,000 soldiers, setting up the governor of Zhongdu, and taking Hanoi Mansion as the place where the horses were grazing, supplying the warhorses needed by the Zhongdu army, thus forming the Northwest Iron Cavalry, which later became famous.

In the last years of the Great Zheng, Xu Lin became the last governor of the central capital, after Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping pacified the rebellion of the princess and the red lady, Xu Lin was ordered to lead an army of 230,000 to conquer Xiao Yu, which led to Xiao Yu's entry into the northwest and the Central Plains, so the central capital is Xiao Yu's land of Longxing.

After the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the five major governors of the former dynasty Dazheng were banned, and the five military governors were changed, with only one metropolitan governor, under the jurisdiction of five left governors and ten right governors, as well as the governors and governors of the same knowledge, and now it is the left army and the left governor Zhang Wuzhi who is sitting in the middle capital, in terms of real power and official position, almost equal to the central capital of the previous dynasty.

However, today's Zhang Wuzhi is different from the other four governors of the left capital, among the other four governors of the left capital, Wei Wuji, the left governor of the Chinese army, is also the official in charge of the seal of the Jiangling camp, in addition to the military power, he also holds the power of local administration. The right army and the left capital supervised Qing was crowned the king of the county, but he only had military power in his hands and could not meddle in the place. And Sun Shaotang, the former governor of the left capital of the army, simply did not have either, and as for Yu Kuang, the governor of the left capital of the rear army, he was even more miserable, losing the city and losing the land, and it was already a blessing to be able to keep the official position of the governor of the left capital.

Only Zhang Wuxian not only has the authority of the seal official of the Shaanxi Central Battalion, but also has the title of the king of the county with a different surname, and he is also wearing one of the three major general seals, and the general Xu Beiyou of Pingyu who pacified the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhao Wouji, the general of Zhenshuo in the northeast of Pingding, although these three generals are only temporary positions, but in terms of dignity, they can almost be equated with the position of the three princes of Taishi, Taifu and Taibao.

As for why the imperial court is so polite to Zhang Wuxian, the reason is also very simple, in the case of the enemy from all directions, Zhang Wuxian has to rely on his own army to resist the entire grassland army, the imperial court can't give him money and food, and is unable to support others, what can be given to him is only these empty names.

Today's war in the northwest is mainly concentrated in Liangzhou, and Shaanzhou is still calm. However, Zhang Wuxian fought the grassland and a country with the strength of one person after all, even if there was a reason for the withdrawal of the army by Brobi Khan, which caused the pace of Lin Han's army to be delayed again and again, but at this time, the Northwest Left Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, had become a tired division, and in the case of serious loss of ordnance and arrows and no reinforcements, it had roughly withdrawn from Liangzhou and retreated to Shaanzhou for temporary rest.

In other words, most of Liangzhou has fallen.

It's no wonder that Zhang Wuji, Wei Wuji and he had conceived a counterattack on the grassland, but the premise must be to conquer the grassland with the strength of the whole country of Great Qi, not to resist the power of the grassland in the northwest corner.

So this result is actually expected by the princes of the temple.

It is only a matter of time before Zhang Wuxian will be defeated, and the key is whether the imperial court can pacify Jiangnan before Zhang Wuxi's defeat. Now it seems that the imperial court not only pacified Jiangnan is just around the corner, but also the three northeastern states have also been pacified, although Liangzhou has been lost, but the whole situation is developing in a better direction.

......

Under the mobilization order of Lin Han, the king of the grassland khan, and because of the intensification of the white plague, not only the big tribes, but also many small tribes, all sent their own young and strong, which made the grassland a great trend.

Originally, the garrison where the Northwest Army was located had been vacated at this time, and only a large open space remained.

As soon as the snow stopped, a cavalry came here in a thick layer of snow, all wearing mink hats and fox furs, with precious scimitars adorned with various precious stones hanging from their waists.

The first to ride was a middle-aged man dressed in a black fox fur, which was not very gorgeous, and even variegated. If it is in the imperial capital or Jiangdu, the magnates disdain this kind of fox fur, and the dignitaries and dignitaries prefer the solid-colored fox fur, and it is not half variegated, but this middle-aged man with an obvious background does not care at all, he takes the lead in stopping his horse on a small hill and looking in the direction of Zhongdu.

Followed by an old man with a pale face, he pointed in the direction of Zhongdu with a horsewhip and said: "The first line of Zhongdu, north of Baishan, north of Baishan is the Qinghe River turning to divide the grassland and the northwest, and the west side of the river is the horse farm Hanoi Mansion of Daqi. If we want to go south to the Central Plains in a very short time, we can bypass the central capital and drive straight into the southwest line. The southwest line, in the final analysis, is two terrains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Xiliang Corridor and the Hexi Plain, now we have crossed the Xiliang Corridor, and pulled out several large camps on the Hexi Plain, and the entire Liangzhou is no longer in danger to defend. ”

Speaking of this, the old man pointed to the ground under his feet with a horsewhip again, and said with a smile: "It's like the little girl who has been stripped off, and there is no room for resistance." ”

Hearing the last words of the old man, everyone in the cavalry laughed heartily, and the old man continued: "Hanoi, Zhongdu, Shaanzhong, Dunhuang, the four form a three-one situation, from the southwest to the northwest, respectively, Dunhuang, Zhongdu, Hanoi, and after the three is Shaanzhou, beyond Liangzhou, there are two choices, one is to attack Shaanzhou, and then cross the Xilingkou, and approach the imperial capital of Zhili Prefecture and even the Great Qi court. The second is to bypass the ascending mountain and enter Qizhou, Yuzhou and other places in the east. If a cavalry breaks into the hinterland of the Central Plains at this time, no matter which choice it is, whether it can be successful or not, it is enough to shake the Great Qi government and the opposition, and even the people are panicked. ”

The man, who had been smiling lightly, finally spoke, "Father whips in. ”

The old man is Lin Han, the Khan King of the Golden Horde, and the middle-aged man is Lin Han's favorite fourth son, Lin Shu.

Lin Han said slowly: "Mu Tang's success is insufficient, and he also caught up with one of the king's sons, Xiao Huaiyu was smart for a lifetime, and in the end, he was clever and misunderstood, and he was put in a dead end, and now only we are left." ”

Lin Shu asked: "Father, those two vassal kings have been defeated, although we now have the support of the Daomen, even if we can not care about the Molun Temple and the Naha Chu Department behind us, we can also not care about Zhang Wuxi, who is already struggling to breathe, but against the last Great Qi court that has no internal worries, in case ......."

Lin Shu didn't finish his words, Lin Han waved his hand, and said softly: "Do we have any other way to go?" Behind him was the vast white disaster where the snow crushed the dead, and in front of him was a seriously injured patient. Do you take advantage of his illness to kill him, and then turn his money, house, wife and daughter into your own, or do you go back to the snow and freeze, and wait for this person to heal from his injuries, and then come back and beat you?"

Lin Shu was slightly stunned and silent.

Lin Han sighed, "Advance or die, retreat or die, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to go to Bo Na for a glimmer of life." ”

"If you can't catch this line of life, it's nothing more than death. If you catch it, it will be the greatest wealth and glory in the world. ”
