Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1048 Complicated Situation

Everything was in vain, he slowly drew out his saber, stared at the flickering tasseled blade, and smiled bitterly as he accompanied the battlefield where the roar of killing was loud, but he didn't know what the fate of the girl was, but he was helpless!
Right at the front line of Keyi Gate, Gao Sheng greeted Zhang Qiyuan. As a minister of the Privy Council and a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, he was much higher in status than him. Some etiquette should not be lost, lest he be caught.

Today, the Jurchens have absorbed the scholars of the Han family, gradually perfected etiquette, and paid attention to rank.

"Brother Gao Wu, no matter what you say, you are also Temu Bojin, who commanded tens of thousands of fine cavalry and did not cause them any trouble." When Zhang Qiyuan heard the news that the Song army had captured Shengwei City, his face showed regret. He believes that Shengwei City is an important stronghold, and even if the party members are powerful, they can rely on it to defend for a long time.

Gao Sheng looked worried, Zhang Qiyuan spoke tactfully, but secretly accused him of not doing his best, but never thought of his difficulties, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, after going through the North and South Privy Council soldiers, you should know that there are only ten thousand people in the end , it is really difficult to deal with the army of the Southern Dynasties, not only to attack the city and seize the land, but also to guard against those grassland tribes."

"Don't say that there are tens of thousands of those barbarians. Even the Southern Dynasty invested several armies in Shengwei City, and even formed a separate army for defense. How can I fight?"

Gao Sheng robbed Zhang Qiyuan of his position, and his face was suddenly embarrassed. This guy clearly called him a second minister, and didn't give him any face, a ray of resentment rose in his heart.Think about it, Gao Sheng is the top fighter under Wushu, and the only Han Chinese, Temu Bojin, and it is quite difficult to get revenge, at least he can't openly deal with it now, so he suppressed his thoughts and waited for an opportunity to let this fellow Drink a jug.

But Gao Sheng said again: "Xu Huiyan in the Southern Dynasty had a whole camp, plus Xiao Heda's soldiers and horses, my four thousand horse army was stopped by tens of thousands of people before they approached Shengwei City. If they didn't retreat quickly, I am afraid that even the city of Wulahai will not be able to keep it."

"Now, we can no longer focus on Shengwei City. We should consider how to build a defense line, drive out the barbarian tribes, and keep everything we got."

Zhang Qiyuan was speechless. What Gao Sheng said made sense. The living women fought in Hexi, and the main force was almost mobilized. The Jin army was just as Wang Xiu judged. There were about [-] main forces, facing hundreds of thousands of Song troops , seems to be out of reach.

Gao Sheng's troops only have ten thousand people, and they still have to control a large area of ​​land in Wulahai City. The strength of the troops is stretched, and it is not enough to deter those grassland tribes, let alone go south.It's not bad to keep everything. Even if you occupy the land, what's the use of the people's wealth being looted?
At this time, Sariha had already issued an emergency to Guantang. Based on previous combat experience, Wushu was asked to mobilize another 3 troops to make up [-] troops, so as to effectively check and balance the Song army and deter those greedy grassland tribe leaders.

He smacked his lips and smiled awkwardly: "How are they doing?"

"Xu Huiyan won Shengwei City, but he didn't go south to Dingzhou. Instead, he fortified the city, sent troops across the river to seize the ferry, built three pontoon bridges, and built five camps." Gao Sheng replied authentically, without any embellishments.

This was a posture to prevent the Jin army from moving. Zhang Qiyuan stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, and said to himself: "This guy is guarding against my big gold cavalry!"

"Oh, wouldn't it be faster for them to attack from three sides?" Gao Sheng thought about it, but he still wanted to hear Zhang Qiyuan's opinion.

"It's very simple. The Dangxiang people have long been grasshoppers after autumn. They have been jumping for a few days. On the contrary, the soldiers from Youdu came out of Hexi, and Fifth Brother took down the Keyi Gate. Let us meet here. How can they rest assured?" Zhang Qiyuan had a toothache on his face, which made people fascinated.

"Wu Jie's tribe and Gao Ping also have nearly 20 people, which is enough to besiege Xingqing. With the support of Shengwei City, Dijinze, and Xiazhou, it is enough to form a defense against me. After all, their fifth battalion has not moved. "

"Does your lord have the intention to go south?" Gao Sheng frowned slightly, his face was very ugly, war can be fun?Even if he is now carrying out the military order and is engaged in a war, it is still within the controllable range.

"We started in Hexi, and we didn't see any movement from Shengwei City. Do you think Wang Dalang can let it go? He's smarter than a monkey." Zhang Qiyuan smiled coldly, his gaze like a poisonous snake fell on Gao Sheng's face.

Gao Sheng didn't care about Zhang Qiyuan. From the perspective of the general of the Jin army, he was overwhelmed.He looked down on this guy very much, but he had to admit that he knew Wang Xiu very well, and with Wang Xiu's character, he really couldn't swallow this breath. If he hadn't stepped forward back then, Wang Xiu would have killed and fled.

Could it be that the Song army's defense organization is suspicious?He entered the state unknowingly, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, we must not just look at the surface, any possibility will appear, he couldn't help but said to himself: "It's really possible, where will Dalang attack? The defensive posture of Xingwei City is not offensive. "

You idiot, Zhang Qiyuan scolded Gao Sheng secretly, but said calmly, "What would you choose? Along the river or be determined?"

Gao Sheng shook his head, and said seriously: "I can't choose, and I'm not Da Lang."

"Once something happens, I'm afraid you will have to bear tens of thousands of troops, can you withstand it?" Zhang Qiyuan stared at Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng is also a veteran in the battlefield, so he understood immediately, stared at Zhang Qiyuan in surprise, and said after a while: "We have reached our goal, so we have to take another bite?"

"Liangzhou, we must fight for it, or destroy it if we can't." Zhang Qiyuan said with a cold expression.

"As long as you control Ganzhou, you can contain Xiliang, why bother." Gao Sheng said very unhappy.There is an essential difference between Zhang Qiyuan and Zhang Qiyuan in calling Liangzhou. Zhang Qiyuan's submission to the Jurchen is still an old way of thinking in the short term. Yiran uses the name of Liangzhou in the Xing Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, but he calls it Xiliangfu.

Don’t underestimate the difference in titles, it’s a difference in understanding. Gao Sheng’s proposition represents most of the generals of the Jin army, and they are not willing to start a substantive war with the Song Dynasty. Occupying Ganzhou is enough to threaten Xiliang, and fighting eastward is a taboo.

Zhang Qiyuan was different, he believed that Wang Xiu would not let it go, as long as the means were controlled properly, it might be impossible to fight.Besides, if you choose not to fight cautiously, the Song army will not be conservative, and it is very likely to launch a full-scale attack on Hexi, because Wang Xiu's conquest of party members will inevitably take Hexi.

Similarly, the live girl who is thousands of miles away is also very conflicted. She has successively occupied Suzhou and Guazhou, only because the Xia army retreated into Shazhou and defended to the death. Changle City did not take advantage of the first battle. He was eager to win Ganzhou , so as not to be taken advantage of by Shao Xing, Shazhou was temporarily let go, and the main force launched an offensive against Ganzhou.

This violated the edge of the bottom line of the Song Dynasty, and the situation in Hexi suddenly became tense.
