Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1049 The situation is tense

Shao Xing also heard that the Jin army had dispatched troops. The Xia and Gansu military commanders had long been in chaos. He seized the opportunity to send out ten thousand cavalry, and launched an offensive against the Xia army together with the Tubo soldiers of the Longyou Protectorate at the eastern foot of Yanzhi Mountain. Swift.

The troops of the Gansu Military Division stationed in Yanzhi Mountain were almost defeated at the first touch. The Song Army broke through seven villages in a row and surrendered more than [-] people. The situation is very good.

The remnants of the Xia army could no longer hold on, and moved closer to the city one after another, hoping to avoid the sharp offensive of the Song army.

However, the speed of living women was faster. The two Jurchen mothers traveled day and night to take down Xuanhua Mansion, that is, Ganzhou, and captured the remnants of the Xia army that had just retreated. Troops, advance to Rouge Mountain.

The two armies started a battle, and the Song army did not directly participate in the battle. After all, Shaoxing could not categorically launch a direct conflict.

In fact, the Longyou Protectorate was also quite wronged. It was a coalition composed of Uyghurs and Tubo, and it could not form a joint force by itself.The Tubo army vainly tried to make wealth and meritorious deeds, and they stretched too far. The Jin army seized the opportunity and defeated them. The Uyghur army was isolated and difficult to support.

The living girl is arrogant, but she is not a fool. She is also very cautious about direct conflicts. She seized the Ganzhou border camp, but did not kill the Tubo soldiers, let alone attack the main force of the Song army rashly, and directly turned to defense.

In this way, the two sides formed a confrontation in Rouge Mountain, the situation was very strange, Shao Xing and Huo Nu were staring at each other.

Shao Xing was prudent, but he was very unwilling. He took advantage of the favorable opportunity when Xia's army gathered in Xingqing, reorganized his troops, assembled more than [-] horse troops, and formed a whole car brigade, preparing for a confrontation with the Jin army, and issued a gold letter Paiguantang, please support the imperial court reinforcements, and be sure to expel the Jin army.

Just when the two sides were embarrassed, Wang Xiu also made a decision. He immediately recruited Wang Yuan, asked in detail about the situation of the Northern Guards, and made a secret military order for World War I.

It has to be said that Wang Yuan is different from Qu Duan. While he has superb military talents, he is also a political general. He followed Wang Xiu's orders very well. The four of Han Shizhong prepared for battle, Liu Qi was stationed in Junzhou, and the two brigade towns were quickly transferred to Hezhong Prefecture.

Today, He Wei returned to Kaifeng and reported to Wang Xiu about the government affairs in the Northwest. The civil officials in Xiazhou, Longzhou, Shizhou and other military states have all been arranged in place. Joining the army is all done by court officials.

Here I want to say that joining the army in the local military state and joining the army in the forbidden army are two different things. Each state has a recorder and each cao joins the army.

Wang Xiu was at ease. While wooing the original bureaucrats, strengthening the supervision of the states, and having the local army formed by the imperial court to check and balance the power of the big clans in the territory, this is the best policy for governance. Military repression is always inappropriate.

Now, his eyes are on the Jurchen, to be precise, it should be on Wu Shu and Zhang Qiyuan, the attitudes of these two people greatly affect the overall situation.

"You've done a good job. The stability of the place is the key now. It's hard for you." Wang Xiu's eyes are particularly sincere. He Wei and Zongliang are the same kind of people, and they don't have outstanding talents. Being mature and stable is the biggest advantage. Focus on specific matters. , only use the absolute amount.

The Northwest Occupied Area does not need a wise man, sincerity and prudence are the key. What he wants is not development, but the stability of the local order.

"This is all the decision of the imperial court and the cooperation of the Shaanxi officials." He Wei's attitude is very modest, his greatest advantage is that he has self-knowledge, understands how much he has, and cannot be compared with Shen Mo, Cai Yi or even Zhong Lirui.

Now that he has been labeled as Wang Xiu, he will do things wholeheartedly, and will never have other thoughts due to setbacks, and he will not be able to learn from Qin Hui's ambition.

Wang Xiu smiled indifferently. He Wei didn't pay much attention in the past. He decided to add more burdens to Jia. When the major events in the Northwest were settled, he would let He Wei really preside over a road, paving the way for Tongwang Shangshu Province and the two prefectures to reach heaven. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on He Wei's own efforts.

"When I came here, I saw the mobilization of soldiers and horses, the threat of captives was imminent, and Xingqing's offensive was imminent. I don't know what Wenshi's plan is?" ask.

Wang Xiu handed He Wei a letter from Guantang, and said in a warm voice: "With a solid rear, the army will naturally be strong."

"Oh, it's too much." He Wei glanced at Guantang, frowning and said.

"Okay, Lao Su has been here for two days, you should go back and have a look. I will host a banquet for you at home tonight, oh, your kid is not bad." Wang Xiu shook her head and smiled.

"Forget it, it's more important to get down to business first." He Wei shook his head and said.

"There's no rush."

Wushu received Zhang Qiyuan's Guantang, and he attached great importance to the situation in the northwest, and called the marshal's mansion to discuss overnight, and then issued an emergency Guantang.

The Jin army stationed in Yunzhong and Yanshan was urgently mobilized and gathered to the Tiande army one after another. The military command and recruiting divisions in Hebei and Hedong also issued strong men to form defense forces in various military states to deal with possible crises.

When the north and the south were fighting each other, Gao Ping's camp crossed the river, commanded the army to besiege Jingzhou, and divided the troops to contain Yongzhou. The main force of Fengyuan's Tianwu army directly crossed the northern part of Jingzhou and arrived at the outskirts of Shibaozhai. The guarding general of Shibaozhai was Kan Xian. .

In fact, Gu Lihei was also aware of the importance of Shibaozhai. After Kan returned safely, he immediately asked him to lead 3000 people to the village, but he didn't expect the Song army to suppress the border.

He was also quite unlucky, as soon as he arrived at the stockade, the vanguard of the Song Army arrived.

Neither of the two parties expected that they would wake up after a short period of shock, and that would be the moment when the sword is on the verge of breaking out.

An encounter suddenly escalated. It was ridiculous that there was only one battalion in the vanguard of the Song Army, and the others were Shuqiang Township Army from Hengshan. Money, official positions, their eyes are full of greed and fierceness.

Kan Xian's troops were almost wiped out during the counterattack. The [-] soldiers and horses that Gu Lihei gave him were all transferred from burdens, almost all of them were light infantry, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. The mountain falsehood became the core of the whole army.

These mountain battles were extremely heroic, but unfortunately they still couldn't save the situation in the face of the absolutely superior Song army.

Kan first retreated into the cottage to count the losses, and was very depressed to find that more than two hundred people had been lost, including dozens of thugs.These mountain bullies who walk like flying in the mountains are irreplaceable in battle, which greatly increases the difficulty of defense. Now the whole village has only [-] troops, and his confidence is cast a heavy shadow.
