The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

~《》~     Chapter 154: Attack him and he will definitely save him

The Song side lost more than 100,000 people in the battle of Tong'an City, including more than 20,000 elite cavalry, which greatly damaged the vitality and suffered serious losses of military supplies. Lanzhou was in crisis. These were not the most serious problems. As soon as Liu Fa died,

The Western Army and even the Song Dynasty did not have a general who could stand alone. The talents of the Western Army have gradually withered. Now the old generation - Zhong Shidao is already in his sixties, and his physical strength and energy are obviously beginning to decline. He wrote to Emperor Huizong to ask.

Although he was retiring, Lian Po was old.

The later famous generals of the Western Army, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Wu Jie, were still hanging out at the bottom. The rising star in the Western Army is now named Yao Pingzhong. Although he is young, he is the best of the three armies. His father Yao Gu is now on Huanqing Road.

The strategic appeasement envoy, grandfather Yao Yi and uncle Yao Xiong, have been famous Western generals for generations. The Yao family has been as famous as the Zong family for decades, but the "Yang family generals" who are familiar to later generations are far less famous than imagined; the other two powerful generals

Liu Yanqing and Yang Keshi were both skilled in martial arts, and were invincible. Liu Yanqing was old and good at catering to the generals. He was a descendant of the general and learned a little military technique. Yang Keshi was born in the army, with more courage and lack of strategy.

The performance of the three of them in the later strife of the Liao Kingdom and Jingkang was very poor. It was unlikely that they would turn the tables. Tong Guan might also know their background. While mobilizing troops to defend, he wrote a letter to report urgently.

Zhao Qiong asked him to launch an attack on the Eastern Front immediately, attracting Chago's army to go east, alleviating the pressure on the Western Front, and giving himself a breath.

The letter is about sadness and pitifulness, which means to win brothers. After reading Tong Guan’s letter, Zhao Qi sneered. If he had known why he had to be the first, but he would have known the ending in the future, and Xixia is now.

The battle was exhausted, so he took advantage of the victory and stopped the army and asked for peace. As a result, the status quo was maintained, and the annual monies remained the same. Tong Guan returned to the court and shamelessly exaggerated the victory and concealed the defeat. Even the entire army was wiped out by Liu Fa, which made up an unprecedented victory.

What is the elimination of tens of thousands of elite troops in the Western Xia? The court officials all presented congratulatory statements, flattered the emperor, and celebrated the great "victory" of the Celestial Empire. All the prime ministers praised merits and were given the first grade. The children's sons were promoted to the top, and they were promoted to the top due to their merits.

The Grand Tutor, together with his old minister Deng Xunwu, was in charge of the Privy Council. An eunuch who was unknown in the dynasty of Emperor Shenzong grew up to become the head of military of the empire.

Zhao Qi did not want this to happen, and at least he would have to fight Xixia for twenty years, making him afraid to use troops to Song easily, so that Song could cope with the crisis. Zhao Qi was determined to use troops, but how to fight was still

The problem is, one is the choice of the goal; the other is the opponent he is going to face - Brother Cha, he is also a young hero. Their life trajectory has many similarities, but they have made their debut earlier than him, so they are

When Xiangyi built canals and dug ditches, he was already the commander-in-chief of the Western Xia army.

Chage was the younger brother of Li Qianshun, the king of Xixia, and was named King of Jin. He was brave and good at fighting and was full of strategy. In the early years of Chongning, he was only sixteen years old when he was famous general Renduo Baozhong led his army to aid the Tubo tribe in Qinghai to fight against the Song Dynasty.

He always acted as a pig and had no objection to eating tigers. It was not until the Xia army failed to rescue Nanzong Fort and was blocked by the Song army in Huangshui. He shot the Song general who was chasing him with one arrow, so that the Xia army could safely

Retreat.

Cha Ge's arrow not only established his power, but also won the respect of the soldiers. He was able to exchange for the greatest benefit at the smallest cost, which was much more wise than Zhao Qie. Later, Renduo Baozhong and Cai Jing and Wang Hou of the Song Dynasty frequently interacted with each other. Although Brother Cha knew about this, he kept hiding it. If Brother Cha was anxious to report Renduo Baozhong from the beginning, then because there was not enough evidence at that time, not only would he not defeat Renduo Baozhong, but he would also expose himself. Push himself to the opposite of Renduo Baozhong. When Cai Jing couldn't calm down and sent Wang Houzhi's brother to come, Brother Cha finally asked someone to intercept him at the border, and he got all the stolen goods, and took over Renduo Baozhong as quickly as possible. The military power made Renduo protect Zhonghao without the power to fight back, so he could only return to Xingqing alone to accept Xia Chongzong's defeat.

In September of the third year of Chongning, Gan Shun conferred Cha Ge as King of Jin. He began to reform the Western Xia army system, learn from the strength of the Song army, select the strong bravery of the Fan and Han dynasties, teach them to use strong crossbows, usually bring bows and hoes, and advance in different directions before the battle. The organization of the Xixia soldiers has been greatly improved, greatly improving the efficiency of military use in wartime, and optimizing the military branches of the Xixia Kingdom. The professional differentiation of cavalry and infantry, galloping with iron kites in the plains, and the valleys have been trampled to overcome dangers, making the traditional The combat capabilities of cavalry and infantry were unprecedentedly improved, and they used troops flexibly according to time and place, and eventually became a major enemy of the Song army.

The war situation has evolved to this point, and whether for the country or for oneself, it is unavoidable to send troops. Two days later, Zhao Qiong ordered the Zhongyong Army to set up camp and start the camp and move northward. The eighth place in the Imperial Army on Zelu Road, the ninth two generals, and the Lanshi Road Eleven, the twelve generals set out ten days later and gathered in Linzhou and Prefecture. The governor of Hezhou Yeli summoned his subordinates to enter Mingtangchuan to strictly guard the passes. The troops mobilized this time plus the three generals on Linfu Road were all in total. Eleven generals, more than 40,000 people. He also ordered the Hedong Road Transport Department and the prefectures along the way to mobilize food and grass, and the civilians followed the army to act.

... ...

There is no secret to the mobilization of the army. Hedong Road has caused such a big disturbance, and has long been discovered by the spies from Xixia and transmitted to the country through various channels. Although some people have been constantly captured by the Song army, intelligence is still transmitted to the territory.

The information learned by the spies was delivered to Cha Ge at a speed of 800 miles. At this time, he and Tong'an City's great victory re-siege of the Zhenwu Army. This battle defeated the Song army and Liu Fa died , It is said that the rare victory in Western Xia in recent years, and Chage's reputation has reached the peak of his military career. Before that, the Song army implemented the shallow attack strategy. After more than ten years of hard work, the right wing army on the Western Front of Western Xia was here. At that time, he had fallen into the Song Dynasty's double-team force. The only thing he could rely on was the rivers and mountains and gorges near Zhou, but it was closely adjacent to the Song army's garrison, and the Song army could send troops in at any time.

Although the Right Xiang Army is farther from the Xingling area than Hengshan, the Right Xiang Army to the Xingling area is not as dangerous as the desert barrier as the Hengshan Army to the Xingling area. Once the Song Dynasty conquered the Right Xiang Army, the The road to Xingling that comes down is flat, and it is unstoppable! What's more, the deployment of the troops of Xixia has always been "real in the east and weak in the west". If the Song army breaks through the Right Xiang army and attacks Xingling from the West, Xixia will adjust Its deployment of its troops is not an easy task, and the ending of Xixia will be self-evident!

During this battle, the Song army was frightened and the strategic situation was fundamentally reversed. The Zhenwu army was the ancient bone dragon city built by Tong Guan. The ancient bone dragon city is located in the mountain gorge of the Qilian Mountains northwest of Huangzhou. The peaks are undulating. It stands steeply and leans against the sky, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is a strategic location. The Western Xia army is conquering high, retreating and retreating to the hinterland, and advancing can lead troops to attack Huangzhou and Xiningzhou. As long as you capture this city, the army can go straight down Lanzhou then went deep into the mainland, and since it was captured by Liu Fa a few years ago, it has been a heart-wrenching problem in Xixia. If you go to this city again, the Xia army can turn defense into offense, and it is not impossible to regain lost territory.

Brother Cha sighed as he looked at the urgent report that Wang Ting turned to him, and said that he also conducted a survey to understand the new star on the northwest front of Zhao Qiong's new front, after the Battle of the Zuoxiang Shenwang Army.

Although it is not detailed, the context is generally clear. This son was assassinated several times when he was young, and he stayed away from the capital to take refuge. He earned a huge family business by himself, and then regained favor, made trouble in the capital and went to the south of the Yangtze River. It is a bad record

Spotted, muddled a pool of water in the court, and was afraid of being "exiled" by the magistrates to Hedong, he was just a gangster in the eyes of everyone, but he became famous after the battle of the border, with only three thousand people's relatives

The army captured his uncle Wang alive, destroyed 20,000 elite troops from Xixia, seized a large area of ​​land in Hengshan, and conquered countless tribes.

In the eyes of others, the rise of this Prince of Song may be due to good fortune and good opportunity, and he stepped on the shit, but in the eyes of Cha Ge, this boy has such a deep mind and a far-reaching vision, and his ability to play a pig and eat a tiger.

The depth is even better than me, far better than that old opponent who is not bad, and is really his strong enemy. This time he had just won the Western Front, so he started the incident on the Eastern Front to see him use troops

There are only two possible directions: one is Fengzhou, which is surrounded by a heavy siege; the other is the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division, which was severely damaged by its vitality.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. How could Brother Cha not see through it? But where this kid may launch an offensive, he will be a must-have place.

To the west of Fengzhou, Xia Tu is in the north, Khitan territory across the northeast, and Songhe East Road across the east. If the Western Xia obtains Lin, the two prefectures will not only completely eliminate the Xixia battles in northern Shaanxi.

, The difficult situation of being attacked from both sides of the palace

It is also of great significance for the Xixia attack on the east road of Songhe. Once the three states of Lin, Mansion and Feng were captured, and the heavy troops of Songhedong Road, Kelan and Volcano can be used as the

Advance and retreat freely. Therefore, since the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, he has been eyeing the Northern Song Dynasty Lin, Fu and Fengzhou, and is determined to annex it and clear the way to attack Hedong of the Northern Song Dynasty. After more than ten confrontations, he finally took Fengzhou and won the Bridgehead

.

Now the Song Dynasty seized a large area of ​​land east of Mingtangchuan and isolated Fengzhou. Although there was a natural danger to the Yellow River, it was separated from other military departments by the Mu Us Desert, and there was only a narrow path connected to the Weifu Military Department of Heishan hundreds of miles away.

However, it will be cut off by the Song army at any time, forming an isolated land. Several times of troops were sent to rescue the siege, but they were all abandoned halfway due to transportation difficulties and the road was difficult. However, because of its important strategic position, they had to be rescued.

Xia has Xia, Sui, Yin, Yu, Jing and other states in northern Shaanxi.

To the northeast is Lin, Fu, Fengzhou

To the south is the Song Dynasty, Fuyan and other roads. These states are connected to Song. They are areas where the two countries frequently engage in military wars and are also the focus of Xia's defense. Xia set up several military commands here to defend, but now the Shenwang Army command has lost most of them.

The only remaining Yulin County is surrounded by three sides of the Song Dynasty. It was robbed last year, with heavy losses in population and property and severe damage to its vitality. Now, I heard that Prince Yan’s name will flee. If the Shenyong Army Division is completely lost, Xiazhou will be exposed.

Under the attack of the Song army, the Song army could bypass the defenders on the border as long as they walked west along the Wuding River Valley, take straight to Xiping Prefecture, and look across the river from Xingqing Prefecture.
