Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 979 Xia Ting's Battle

How can the Song army have such a large force, and it is the Ma army. Once the Ma army is placed on the transfer line, let alone attacking Yanzhou, it will not even have the support of the Ma army for a frontal attack. It is very dangerous to go deep inside.

Although it is true that the Xia army was defeated, there are still tens of thousands of elite insiders. The horse army is quite strong and can attack the Song army without interruption.

Li Renzhong shook his head, and said calmly: "They went north, taking care of one thing and losing another. They were powerless, and there was no serious problem. On the contrary, Xiliang wanted to take it back as soon as possible. Even if they made peace with Nanchao, they couldn't give up Xiliang."

Of course Li Renxiao understands the importance of Xiliang. Most of Xia’s good horses are in Xiliang, and the elite are in Ganzhou. If Xiliang is really occupied by the Song Dynasty, Ganzhou will probably be in chaos. Even if he reconciles with the Song Dynasty, he will not be able to support it. several years.

It is true that horses are produced in Henan, but due to the agricultural development along the river in the north, the scope of Lema Farm is limited. It can only be herded on the edge of Helan Mountain and around Wulahai City. The desertification in the south is very serious. The scene of cattle and sheep.

"For the current plan, please return the commander of the capital to the Xiangqing army to sit in the town, and send a part of the garrison south to make sure the Southern Dynasty army enters the hub." Li Renzhong glanced at Ren Dejing indifferently.

Ren Dejing frowned slightly, and sneered endlessly in his heart. He reduced the strength of the garrison and transferred him away. On the surface, he sold a big favor and let him control a direction to fight. In fact, it weakened Li Renxiao's strength and made it easier for the other party to do things. , What a good idea.

It seems that this fellow dealt with him, never trusted him, let alone tried to win him over, but gave him the illusion that he was willing to lead the army outside.

I thought, Brother Cha, Yi Yu and others had unclear attitudes, and Li Renxiao's forces did not have an absolute advantage. If Li Renzhong launched an attack, I really don't know who would be responsible for Xingqing's day?Immediately said: "What the king said is that I should go to the army, but I still have worries to talk about.

Li Renxiao heard that Li Renzhong wanted Ren Dejing to go south. He was 1 unwilling, but he couldn't refute it. Ren Dejing was originally the commander of the Xiangqing Army, and his responsibility could not be shirked. Even if he wins the Song army, it will form a situation that cannot be shaken off, and he absolutely does not want to see it.

Seeing that Ren Dejing had something to say, he nodded and said: "Ren Qing's family, but it's okay to say."

"The main force of the Division of the Three Armed Forces going south will certainly change the situation in the east, but we must be on guard against the situation in the south and send a large army north to Weicheng, the province." Ren Dejing said plainly.

Shengwei City is an important barrier in the northeast of Xingqing. Once it falls into the hands of the Song army, it will form a strategic encirclement in the shape of a character, and the party members will be absolutely passive. Even if the Xia army breaks through the defense line of the northwest camp, it will not be able to completely defeat the Song army.

Back then, when Shenzong of Song Dynasty attacked Xia with five routes, the focus was on the north route directly driving to Xingwei City, encircling Xingqing.The Song army was aggressive, and the party members were in chaos. Fortunately, a veteran suggested that the northern part of Xia Kingdom was hardened and cleared, which made it difficult for the Song army to transfer. There was another sudden heavy snow, which made the Song army on the North Road collapse without a fight.

That year, even if the Song army failed, their [-] troops arrived at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. If there hadn't been that heavy snowfall, even if the other Song armies were defeated, it would be hard to say who would die in the end.

Everyone's thoughts were immediately aroused. If Xie Qian was desperate, the two camps would go north to assist the Song army in the middle road to attack from the north and the south. Helan Mountain, then there is no need to fight again, unless the Jurchens completely break up with the Southern Dynasty and send heavy troops south.

Li Renxiao's eyes lit up, he is not a fool, naturally he vaguely heard the intention, stared at Ren Jingde, and said in a deep voice: "The Qing family means."

Li Renzhong's face was very ugly. He could see from the battle situation that Ren Dejing had no good intentions!

Ren Dejing had a straight face.Naturally, he said: "The Xiangqing army not only suppresses the south, but also defends the north. I would like to restrain the army and wait."

This guy is shameless enough, Li Renzhong glared at Ren Dejing fiercely, and said sharply: "Even if the Southern Dynasty may go north, but with the support of the garrison, the Xiangqing Army should concentrate on dealing with Yaode City, after all, the Southern Dynasty has two camps. "

Li Renxiao smiled leisurely, and said: "Okay, there are Li Liangfu in the south, and Gu Lihei and the two commanders support the army. As long as Nan Chao goes north step by step, he can cut off his food transportation route. We still have to guard against them going north. Ren Qing's family Stay in Xingqing for now."

Ren Dejing bowed immediately, his goal was achieved, and he said in a deep voice: "I obey the order, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations."

Li Renzhong smacked his lips and said nothing. Since Li Renxiao said that it was a foregone conclusion for Ren Dejing to stay in Xingqing, it would be futile for him to say more, and it would only annoy Ren Dejing.

When the court was over, Li Renxiao left Ren Dejing alone. This guy looked calm, as if he was expecting it, he talked with Li Renxiao about military affairs.

"I don't have enough bone strength and courage, and Li Liangfu is brave and intrepid. I'm afraid they won't be able to take on the big responsibility. Maybe Gao Linggong can manage the army for me."

Li Renxiao shook his head and said: "Gao Linggong is too old to take on important responsibilities, but you can consider it without courtesy."

Ren Dejing was stunned, and immediately said: "The commander of the Chaoshun Army in the right wing is a general, but he has a great responsibility, and he will personally lead four thousand soldiers to the south. It is better to go to Yanzhou."

Li Renxiao heard Ren Dejing's implication, and even Ren Dejing's dissatisfaction with Bone Lihei was well known, and said indifferently: "The Qing family's thoughts, I naturally understand that now everyone is in the same boat, and we still need everyone to give full play to their talents."

Ren Dejing couldn't hold back his old face, and Li Renxiao was clearly warning him not to make small moves. We are all in the same boat, and after the crisis, we will make small moves again.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful, for the sake of momentary pleasure, his words were too explicit, which obviously aroused Li Renxiao's dissatisfaction.

I think, Gu Lihei is a general who has been pawning soldiers for generations, and his family followed Li Ji to move out of Dijinze, a veteran party clan.Li Liangfu was also a general promoted by Li Qianshun. He came from the Sixth Class of the Royal Family and was deeply trusted by the royal family. Li Renxiao's great reliance back then was by no means something he could easily shake.

It seems that we still have to bear with it, Li Renxiao is right, there is still a long way to go, Li Liangfu, Gu Lihei, Brother Cha, Gan Daochong, and Li Renzhong are the opponents, so we should bear with it.

"How sure is the Southern Dynasty that they want to capture Shengwei City?" Li Renxiao was still worried. He was not very afraid of the corruption in the eastern part of Yanzhou. He was worried about Xiliang, and he was also worried about the north. A war is really lost.

"It can only be said that it is very possible. It depends on whether the Southern Dynasty can enter Xiazhou. Tiemen and Baichi are also the key. Xiyulili and Xiao Heda are very important."

Li Renxiao is silent. Anyone with a little knowledge of military affairs understands that if Xiazhou is unstable, it is absolutely impossible to pass through the salty sand and launch an attack on Shengwei City. .
