Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 885

This is a relatively elite army, composed of Qiang and Tibetans as well as Han Chinese. There are horse infantry and chariot soldiers. The brigade has 7000 soldiers, which is almost equivalent to an army. It is very well equipped and extremely powerful in combat.

The upper brigade, as a unit directly under the capital, is an absolute sharp knife, ready to deal with all kinds of crisis situations, and arrive at the front to control the deterioration of the situation before the army has set off.

With the news of the military situation on the edge of the Song Dynasty, Li Qianshun became a little impatient, and mobilized all the military divisions in the left wing to deploy troops, and Zhang Qiyuan entered the palace three times.

"Your envoy, there are 10 people gathered in the Southern Dynasties, but I have 10 people attack Sanyuan, but I can't take down a small city, but I don't know where your lord is?"

Li Qianshun's face was very ugly. According to his prediction, the 6000 troops took down Pingqiang City, which was not a trivial matter.Unexpectedly, the city of Pingqiang was smelly and tough. Li Shifu fought for more than ten days in a row, and lost about [-] troops, but failed to take down an important fortress, which completely embarrassed him.

Seeing that the Song army had completed its assembly and all the armies entered the attacking position, I really regretted my original decision.He fantasizes that if he doesn't flatten the Qiang City, and if he is soft on the Great Song Xingchao, and loses a little face, he might be let go to deal with the Jurchens with all his strength.

Zhang Qiyuan was very disdainful of Li Qianshun's character of being afraid of wolves and tigers. As the monarch of a country, war and peace are all in one mind. Once he decides to go all out, he must not look forward and backward. Only when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed.

Li Qianshun wanted to take advantage of it, but he was unwilling to pay. Even if the Great Song Xing Dynasty was serious, he still hesitated, which made him very disdainful.

He looked down on Li Qianshun's truth, but his attitude was still gentle, and he said patiently: "My lord, it's not a day or two since the Southern Dynasty wants to destroy the king's heart, and I don't want to waste my words. The army of Lang Jun is going south, and the king should take the initiative to fight for it. Take the initiative and never sit still.”

"Strive for the initiative? Your envoy's words sound nice. You can't take down even the city of Pingqiang, so what are you going to use to fight against the Southern Dynasty? Mr. Wu Shu said he was going south. Where are you now?" Li Qianshun was furious, Nima, slowly Going south is clearly instigating Da Song to fight with him, and then reaping the benefits of the fisherman, making him a fool.

Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Li Qianshun, and said with a disapproving smile: "Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty is good at defending the city, but fighting in the field. I have a plan, which can take the lead."

"Oh, what's your envoy's plan, let's hear it." Li Qianshun stared at Zhang Qiyuan, definitely not in a good mood, how could he be in a good mood!No matter what the strategy is, he and Song Xingchao are desperately fighting, while the Jurchens sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight.

"It's true that Pingqiang City has been defended, but they are also at the end of their rope. They will definitely choose elite soldiers to rescue them. Your Majesty can set up a heavy ambush to deter the Southern Dynasty." Zhang Qiyuan said quietly, his tone was unusually harsh.

"Siege the city and fight for aid?" Li Qianshun had some intentions, but he was still not very optimistic about it. You can tell, is he prepared?You must know that the Western Army is a strong force of the Song Dynasty. Famous generals gathered together and said coldly: "Their reinforcements are rushing to help within the territory. Wouldn't it be a trap for them to send troops there?"

"The city of Pingqiang is isolated, the main force of the Southern Dynasty has gathered long ago, and there are no large troops stationed around. Using Li Taiwei to set up an ambush on the battlefield, it will not be a big problem to win the first battle." Zhang Qiyuan said very confidently, since the army is assembled, it cannot be easily mobilized , he still understands.

"Since it can deter Nanchao, taking the head of the noble envoy can be exchanged for Nanchao's kindness?" Li Qianshun looked at Zhang Qiyuan with very cold eyes.

Zhang Qiyuan frowned slightly, and looked at Li Qianshun with a particularly unfriendly look.

Now that Wang Xiu and Xin Bing are in office, there is no need for the two major Xuan Fu Divisions to exist, and they will be canceled automatically and calmly without any disturbance. This is personal reputation, and others who are suppressed cannot argue.

Xin Bing was appointed by Wang Xiu and went directly to the Yongxing Army, where he streamlined and compressed the original Xuanfu Division's team, leaving only some expedient texts and cadres.

He immediately dispatched Guantang to Sun Wo, envoy of Qinfeng Road, Zhao Zhe, envoy of Huanqing Road, Liu Xi, envoy of Xihe Road, and envoy of Yongxingjun Road. The envoy Guo Yan, the envoy of Jingyuan Road Jinglue, the envoy Xi Gong, and the envoy of Yanfu Road Jinglue Wang Si met for business, conveying Wang Xiu's meaning.

Wang Shu understood Wang Xiu's intentions very well. He admitted that he was very disappointed, but he could understand the difficulties of the court. He also thought that this was a subtle move, and he abolished the two major Xuanfu divisions without any effort, so as to avoid future disputes.

It is equivalent to streamlining one level of organization, which is very beneficial for making decisions on major issues. Shaanxi has an economic strategy department, which is in charge of the defense and township armies of each military state, the Western Sergeant Army and the five major camps, which are responsible for foreign operations, and the Xuanfu Disposal Department is fully responsible , Why do you need the Xuanfu Division!
He is also happy to be leisurely, doing the affairs that he is responsible for uploading and assigning, and everything is left to the Western Sergeant and his own way.To put it bluntly, he consciously complied with the imperial court's intentions, but he was somewhat dissatisfied, as if he was letting you toss.

Xin Bing was on the contrary. He and He Wei traveled all over the world, so that as deputy and judge, they could meet the commanders of the battalions, the commanders of the army, the governors of the military states, and the big patriarchs at the border to carry out Wang Xiu's intentions. , Stabilize the morale of the army and the people.

Xie Qian is also the commander of the deputy capital of the West Army. According to the original plan, he should sit in town to assist Qu Duan and control the entire army. Once the war starts, he will move the camp to the west to control the army on the West Road and contact the Tubo people. , launched a war against Xiliang, that is, Liangzhou in Xingchao's mouth.

However, Qu Duan believed that facing the right wing commander on the western front, there were not so many elite soldiers and strong generals. Xie Qian, as the deputy commander of the capital, was very overqualified and should be restrained on the eastern front.

Pingqiang City is very critical, and it is fighting fiercely again. The 46th Brigade of Jieqian Supervisor went to rescue the siege, and took over the Eastern Front after the battle situation stabilized.

The generals of the Western Guards who knew the inside story knew that Qu Duan and Jie Qian had a lot of conflicts, and they were definitely looking for reasons to make Jie Qian suffer, and it was not just an ordinary trick, it was directly cutting off the opponent's military career.

The Ninth Battalion on Xihe Road attacked to face the Xia Youxiang Army Division. Most of them were supply troops and second-line supplementary troops. The battle should be easier to fight.

However, everyone who understands knows that the western front is of vital importance, not only to unite with the Tibetans, but also to attack as appropriate.If the party members didn't notice the strength, they would drive straight in and attack Xingqing from the rear, or continue to attack Ganzhou. If Xia's army resists strongly, then use the two states as a base to intercept Xia's East-West contact, steadily attract Xia's army, and reduce the pressure on the eastern front. .

In fact, the western front with Xihe Road as the rear has formed an independent war zone, and the general who presides over the west road is no less important than Qu Duan.
