I am Da Song

Chapter 321

How much did the Song Army earn in the direction of Xixia?
Because the Jurchen cut off the connection between the east and the west, and Li Qianshun's escape.

To the east of the Yellow River, a large number of cities and land in Xixia were temporarily brought under the control of the Shenwu Youjun.

That is to say, the vast area in the middle of the Yellow River is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

You must know that this area, whether it is the Qin and Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even later generations, is the core hinterland of the Central Plains.

Xixia's economic center of gravity is also all in this area.

Although this is the border between Song and Xia, the land here is flat, the rainfall is abundant, and the soil is fertile. It is the land of grain production and the economic and trade center of Xixia.

Or in other words, this is the Guannei Road of Datang.It is the essence of land in the Central Plains, no different from other states and counties in the Song Dynasty.

In order to help the Xingqing Mansion, all the troops in this area had been wiped out in the war. The locals were afraid that the Jurchens would rush to slaughter the city, so they took the initiative to push the Song Army forward to block the advance of the Jin Army.

If the Ming army had the advantage of the Song army when it entered North Korea to fight the Japanese army, Li Rusong and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty would laugh so hard that their mouths crooked.

Because the Ming army entered North Korea, it was miserable by North Korea.It is said that North Korea provided food and grass, and the Ming army provided troops.As a result, all the North Korean cities were lost to Japan, and there was no food at all.

Even North Korea's Beijurchen Legion and the elite soldiers of the Six Towns had to rely on Daming to transport food from the country to provide supplies.In addition to supplying the army with food, the Ming army also used it to help the people.

So Ming Tingna really tightened his belt to fight this battle.

But Yue Fei was different. He protected all the essence of Xixia's hinterland in one go.

Food supplies can be requisitioned on the spot.The Xixia people hoarded a large amount of food, grass and supplies on the front lines of the two countries.The Song army did not need to transport grain and grass thousands of miles from the country.

The Song Army only dispatched [-] Shenwu Youjun and [-] troops from Shaanxi Road and Qinfeng Road.

Even the corvee is confiscated by local people.

In this situation, it is Da Song who does not want the war to subside.

Because Yue Fei dragged the main force of the Jin army, the Song army took advantage of the other two routes.

For the Song army, it is not how to win, but how to find a way to go straight to Huanglong Mansion.

Moreover, in the territory of Xixia, there are also a group of fortresses that refuse to cooperate with the Song army's transfer order, and the officials are still loyal to Xixia.

Song Jun needed time to persuade them to fall to Da Song.

Under the current situation, it is a common situation in Confucianism that the monarch of Xixia abandons the land and flees, and the local officials serve the country loyally and defend the city to the death.

The war lasted for a long time, and the threat of the Jurchens was hanging over their heads, so they could truly feel the meaning of the Song Army's existence.

Of course, the more important thing is that fighting on the land of Xixia consumes the strength of Jin and Xia, which is a situation that Song Dynasty is very happy to see.

Therefore, in the negotiations with Jin Guo, Da Song's attitude was extremely tough.

As the suzerain of Xixia, we cannot sit back and watch the Jin army invade Xixia and remain indifferent.

The Jin army must return all the wealth looted from Xixia territory since the start of the war, and withdraw from Xixia territory unconditionally.

And pay Da Song 100 million taels of gold and 2000 million taels of silver as war indemnity to pay for the army's departure.

This condition is simply asking for a price, and it is impossible for the Jurchens to agree.

As a combined country that relies on military victories to maintain its rule, if the Jurchens agree to this condition, the country will immediately fall apart.

But the Song Dynasty didn't want the Jurchens to agree.

Although 100 million taels of gold and 2000 million taels of silver are a lot, they are not worth mentioning compared to the interests at the national level.

No country can afford such a large fee at the moment.Therefore, the two armies can only fight, and it is a fierce battle.

The Great Song Army God Yue Fei led the most elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty to take the initiative to launch a full-scale offensive against Jin Guojun God Wanyan Loushi.

The two sides fought fiercely in Nayuanchuan.

Nayuanchuan, also called Luotuogang in the local area, is a tributary of the east of the Yellow River, which flows into the Yellow River from east to west.

The famous camel cavalry "Puxi Army" in Xixia, both soldiers and camels came from this area.

One can imagine the landform here, the long river with sunset, the desert with lonely smoke, this is the landform we are talking about.

Song Jun wanted to take this place at all costs, because northward from here was Chaoshun Military Division in the right wing.

The Jin Army's 10,000+ army will cross the Yellow River from this area and return eastward to the Kingdom of Jin.

Once the Song army is allowed to cross Nayuanchuan, it will set up defenses along the east bank of the Yellow River. The 10,000+ Jin army was attacked halfway through, and it was bound to usher in an unprecedented fiasco for Jurchen.

If Jurchen did not turn back east from here, but turned north, it would have to cross a vast desert to turn back, and the Jin army would once again reproduce the fiasco of the original expedition to Mongolia.

Moreover, the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division is still on the way back. It is very likely that the Jin army just crossed the vast desert, and when they were exhausted, the Xixia defenders would cover up and kill them.

Therefore, the most elite troops of the Song Army and the Jin Army, under the command of their respective military gods, killed rivers of blood in the territory of Xixia, and they were inseparable.

On the contrary, the master of this country looked weak and helpless, carefully hiding in the corner.

Li Qianshun really wanted to persuade the fight: "Stop it, stop it, don't fight any more."

But he didn't have the courage to open his mouth at all, and his cowardly voice couldn't even reach the ears of the Song and Jin armies.

He didn't care that his wealth was taken away by the Jin army.

Anyway, he has all the princesses of Xixia, and the imperial army is still fully organized. As long as the Jin army withdraws from Xixia, then he can pat his butt and return to the capital to continue to be his lord of Xixia.

Moreover, Xingqing Mansion was slaughtered, and all the land and salt fields near the city belonged to him.

He can use it to reward the imperial army and win over the direct line.His position may not be more stable than before the war.

So he really wants to jump out and wave his hand generously to carry forward the spirit of internationalism.Wealth should be regarded as a truce gift from Xixia to the Kingdom of Jin.For my sake, both of you, stop the war and make peace!

Song Jun, don't take care of us Xixia like this.Let the Jin army go, okay?
The answer is of course no!
Whether the envoys of the Xia Kingdom tactfully hinted at the Song Army camp, or directly communicated with the Song Dynasty court, the Song Army did not care at all.

The Song Army received only one order from the court, to attack the main force of the Jin Army with all its strength, and must drag it within the territory of Xixia.Cooperate with the deployment of the imperial court in the direction of Yunzhou and Youzhou.

On the border between Song and Jin in the north, the Song army has increased to more than [-] troops.

This scale has almost caught up with the number of forbidden troops deployed by the Song Dynasty on the border of Hebei after the Chanyuan Alliance.

This is the largest deployment of troops since Zhao Huan crossed over.

The Kingdom of Jin was shocked. With 30 people, it was impossible to determine whether the Song army was going to start a full-scale war with the Kingdom of Jin.

This size is more than enough for defense, and it is not bad for offense.

Even if the Kingdom of Jin has a vast area and can lose some states and counties, it is still uncertain whether the main force can be dragged back to the country.
