Chapter 600: The War in the Northwest (5) [5.1 Happy]

In the first year of Yuanyou of the Great Song Dynasty, it was Bingwu (21) in August of the first year of Yi Zhiping in the Western Xia Dynasty.

In Nanmouhui (now Xi'an Town, Haiyuan County, Ningxia Province) where Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan Mountain intersect, Liang Yibu has established his shogunate headquarters in this military stronghold specially built during the Jingzong period for the purpose of conquering the Southern Barbarians.

At this time, the entire Nanmou Club had turned into a huge military camp.

Countless soldiers, horses, and hedgehogs gathered in this narrow area.

Men and women all carry bows and arrows on their backs.

Iron Kites, Poxi Army, Capture Army...

The elite aces of Dabai Gao Kingdom are all gathered here.

Liang Yibu took his close confidants to the top of the fortress and looked to the south.

Jingzong, Yizong, and the late emperor all ordered troops here to attack the Song Dynasty!
His aunt and father also sat here, commanding the army, allocating food and grass, and fighting to the death with the southern barbarians.

"This time, I will make the whole Southern Barbarians scream!"

This is exactly what gave Liang Yibu the courage to launch this large-scale all-out southern invasion war!

Having said this, Liang Yibu patted the counselor on the shoulder and said: "Ziqing, when our army defeats the Southern Barbarians and defeats them, Ziqing can go to the battlefield and follow the example of Grand Master Zhang and write poems to satirize the Southern Barbarians."

"After all, the Southern Barbarians are a big country, and there are many talented people in the big country. You can't underestimate the enemy!"

"I now have 400,000 powerful soldiers. The Iron Kites, the Poxi Army, and the Shengsheng Army are all under my command."

However, the counselor was still a little uneasy and tried his best to persuade: "Prime Minister, I think that the Southern Barbarians should not be underestimated."

Six more military supervisory departments worked together, and the battle line spread from Hedong Fuzhou and Linzhou in the southern barbarians to Lanzhou in the northwest.

Then obediently agree to his conditions!

In this way, the overall situation is decided!

"Prime Minister, don't be proud before the war!" Beside him, a Han-looking scribe whispered: "Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. I hope the Prime Minister will understand!"

Liang Yibu was imagining that after his triumphant return to Beijing, his sister came out with all the civil and military officials to greet him, and the little Wu soldiers shivered in front of him.

It will definitely shock the Southern Barbarian monarchs and ministers, and make the young emperor and his mother and grandmother in Bianjing City hold their heads and cry.

This vast land of thousands of miles will be filled with smoke and smoke after today.

Liang will also win the morale of the military at home and abroad!

"The poems written by Grand Master Zhang back then were so good!" Liang Yibu said with a look of fascination: "Why did Xia Song have Song? Han Qi is not surprising! The whole river is full of dragons and tigers, and he still talks about military aircraft!"

"Are they the two relatives from Xihe Road?"

Then the green salt from Dabai Gao Kingdom can be sold throughout Shaanxi.

"Lu Huiqing and Liu Changzuo have been held back. Who else in the Southern Barbarians can stand up to the truth and fight?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"A bunch of useless snacks, why should I keep them in my heart?!"

"Or the civil servant from Huanqing Road who has never led a single soldier and probably hasn't even read the Art of War?"

"What about the Southern Barbarians?" Liang Yibu smiled contemptuously: "Young Master is in power, and the only ones in charge are two women who live deep in the palace!"

"But back then, the famous southern barbarian generals who once thwarted the late emperor and his concubine are now withered and withered, and those who have returned to the capital have returned to the capital..."

After the defeat of Haoshuichuan, Han Qi cleaned up the mess in Shaanxi.

"Aside from Lu Huiqing of Hedong and Liu Changzuo of Yanyan Road, who else is worth mentioning on the roads along the southern barbarians today?"

The Iron Harriers, the Poxi Army, and the Qisheng Army all arrived.

He turned back and looked at the counselor: "And Lu Huiqing is far away in the east of the river, and he is restrained by the heroic military supervisor in the left wing. He will not be able to leave for two or three months."

Liang Yibu is not greedy either.

"Let the warriors launch according to the previous deployment..."

"Even Han Qi, after his defeat in the war, had to learn from his mistakes. He trained generals, rewarded soldiers, and gave me countless hardships in the Shaanxi Province!"

All he needs to do is, like Beilu, turn his Sui gifts into Jiaozi.

This is the largest mobilization of the Dabai Gao Kingdom after the Battle of Yongle City.

He couldn't help but smile proudly.

Liang Yibu glanced at this person and laughed: "Why did Ziqing say this?"

At this time, Liang Yibu was full of pride. He pointed to the south with his riding whip and said: "Qingyi's soldiers and horses with the ghost seal have surrounded Xige City a few days ago. Now it's time for me to take action in Dabai Gaoguo! "

Countless famous generals and warriors have come and gone here.

If this happens, then he, Liang Yibu, will save the precarious economy and finance of the Dabai Gao Kingdom.

"As for Liu Changzuo? Where he is located on Yanyan Road, he wants to support the entire Shaanxi!"

Then a large number of famous ministers such as Fan Zhongyan were invited to reorganize Shaanxi's armaments.

"If the army and the people work together as one, and the morale is high, they can swallow mountains and rivers, and capture big cities!"

Let them know that the Great White Kingdom must not be bullied.

Since then, Dabai Gaoguo has rarely been able to easily obtain benefits from Nanman.

In the past ten years or so, the offensive and defensive momentum has changed even more.

The Nanman army can launch a five-way attack. You can also go deep into Hengshan to build a city successfully!

Although they failed, they did not lose to Dabai Gaoguo, but to themselves!
The counselor has a clear understanding of this.

Liang Yibu was unhappy when he heard this.

"Why does Ziqing need to cultivate the morale of the Southern Barbarians and destroy the prestige of our country?" He looked at the counselor. If this person hadn't been born in Xingqing Mansion and grew up with him, otherwise Liang Yibu would have doubted whether this guy was a Southern Barbarian. Did you do it carefully?
The other party quickly bowed: "Don't dare!"

"I'm just doing my duty."

He once followed the old prime minister and fought three battles with the Nanman in Lanzhou City.

Every time, Dabai Gaoguo's army could only return without success or even be defeated.

Therefore, he knew very well the strength of Nanman.

Liang Yibu laughed and asked: "Zi Qing thinks that apart from Liu Changzuo of Yanyan Road and Lu Huiqing of Hedong, who else is worth mentioning among the southern barbarian border guards today?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Liang Yibu started counting on his fingers.

"Li Xian from Xihe Road was transferred back to Nanman Capital last year..."

"Xihe Road without Li Xian is like a tiger without teeth, not worth mentioning!"

When the news of Li Xian's departure reached Xingqing Mansion last year, the whole city celebrated!
That devil, that devil, that creditor of Dabai Gaoguo... is finally gone!
There was no way, Li Xian left too many painful memories for the party members.

Five groups attacked Xia, and all four groups were defeated. Only Li Xian penetrated the entire Dabai Gao Kingdom's defense line.

Not only did they capture Tiandu Mountain, they also burned down Jingzong's palace.

Even Nanmouhui, an important town that controlled Gan and Liang, was captured by him and his troops pointed directly at Liangzhou City.

If the other four routes hadn't collapsed too quickly, he might even have threatened Xingqing Mansion.

The subsequent five Lanzhou battles made his father vomit blood, and he had to let Bingchang go and let him fight in person.

Then, he was slapped back and lost his troops.

Now, Li Xian is no longer here.

Without this high-prestige general who had been in charge of Xihe for more than ten years.

The fighting power of the Nanman soldiers and horses on Xihe Road can break bones!

The counselor sighed and said: "Although Li Xian is no longer here, the one who can succeed him as the strategic envoy, Zhao Xi, is by no means an ordinary person!"

"Zhao Xi?" Liang Yibu smiled: "Well, he is indeed pretty good."

"But he is sixty-two years old this year!"

"Can you still ride a horse and hold a sword?"

"Moreover……"

"Last year the little emperor of the Southern Barbarians sent his two uncles to Xihe Road..."

"Don't you and I still know what kind of character the Nanman's cousin is?"

"With these two people here, we are better than an army of 100,000 people!"

The counselor listened and could only lower his head.

Because what Liang Yibu said is true! At that time, during the Five-Road Expedition against Xia, the Nanman Huanqing Road soldiers and horses, under the command of the Nanman general Liu Changzuo, won many battles and sang triumphant songs.

Countless famous generals and fierce generals from Dabai Gao Kingdom were defeated in his hands.

The speed of his advance was so fast that Lingzhou City did not have time to react when his troops approached the city, and the cavalry commanded by him rushed into the city.

then……

Gao Zunyu, a benefactor sent from heaven, and a military order brought Dabai Gaoguo out of the crisis of national subjugation.

Let Ren Duo be alone, and be able to deploy calmly, dig the Yellow River, and flood the seven armies.

And Gao Zunyu is already a leader among the Nanman relatives.

In the past few decades, as long as the Dabai Gaoguo found out that there was a Nanman relative sitting on the opposite side, their morale would rise by 30% out of thin air. There was no way, these relatives would always try their best to hinder and hinder the Nanman generals, for fear that they would Receive rewards for meritorious service!
The generals of the southern barbarians could only let them run wild without daring to have the slightest objection.

Therefore, for Dabai Gaoguo, having a relative in the southern barbarian opposite is equivalent to having an undercover agent of one's own.

It’s hard not to win!

The counselor stopped talking, but Liang Yibu started to comment on the Nanman characters.

"Beyond Xihe Road, on the Huanqing Road of the Southern Barbarians, the current strategic envoy is named Zhang Kai!" He laughed loudly, holding his belly and patting his thigh: "Ziqing knows that I have already checked this person's resume. "

"Before he came to Huanqing Road to take up the post, this person had been serving as an official in the interior of the Southern Barbarians. He was also a people-friendly official such as Ti Xing Guan and Chang Ping Guan. He had never even led a single soldier!"

"I even doubt that he has never even read The Art of War!"

"Besides, he is almost sixty years old this year!"

"He's just an old man. When the army launches, if he can sit comfortably in the commander's palace and is not scared into abandoning the city and fleeing, I will consider him qualified!"

Liang Yibu laughed while talking. By the end of the sentence, even his stomach hurt from laughing.

no way!
That's ridiculous, isn't it?
Huanqing Road is the most important road in Shaanxi.

It is also the road with the most elites.

In such an important area, it would be fine not to release a tiger general, but at least a veteran who knows the military and is stable should be released, right?
As a result, an old civil servant was sent who had never been with him for a day and had been in the hinterland counties for a long time, dealing with Xingming Qiangu? !

Isn't this giving him credit?

"Zhong'e is dead, Li Xian has returned to Beijing, and Professor Miao and Yanda have returned to Beijing early for tea."

"Liu Changzuo of Yanyan Road is indeed brave, but with his troops and horses all the way, what can he do?"

"Lu Huiqing from Hedong is even more beyond reach!"

"Now I have 400,000 troops under my command and I have Tibet to help me. As soon as the army launches, the southern barbarian border fortress will be in chaos and in danger."

"When he is panicked, I will personally send the elite main force out of Nanmouhui, settle in Xicheng, and enter Lanzhou."

"It's the best if you can capture it. If you can't capture it, sweep across the Huizhou and Xizhou states and seize all their food, grass, armor and population!"

Liang Yibu stretched out his hands and looked at the vast wilderness ahead.

"Such a big thing can be accomplished!"

In his opinion, the probability of victory in this battle is one thousand percent!
And it will be very easy.

It was just as easy as the three battles of Jing Zong's founding of the country!
The counselor listened and just lowered his head. He knew that Liang Yibu made sense, and normally, it would unfold as Liang Yibu wished.

But the uneasiness in his heart still existed.

He remembered many things.

In the past few months, none of the agents sent to Nanman Xihe Road came back.

Whether they are pretending to be Qiang people or pretending to be deserters.

The results are the same.

As a result, Xihe Road today has become a one-sided information black hole.

Dabai Gaoguo, almost don't know, what happened there?
In addition, various tribes in Yokoyama have legends.

According to legend, the Nanman Xihe Road government has fully relaxed border controls.

no matter who? Regardless of whether he was once an enemy of the Nanman?
All can enter the Xihe states after passing the inspection in the frontier city.

The local government has promised that as long as Guiyi comes to vote, everything will be forgotten and all the past will be forgiven!
As a result, a large number of tribes fled to the Southern Barbarians under the dual threat of drought and the tax collectors of Dabaigao Kingdom.

And many of the southern barbarian border guards would even take the initiative to go out to meet these people.

These things were swirling in the counselor's mind.

He raised his head and wanted to report what he learned to Liang Yibu.

However, seeing Liang Yibu's confident look, he didn't dare to say anything.

Today, although there is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no story about Yang Xiu.

However, he still knew the story of Yuan Shao and Tian Feng.

He looked at the proud Liang Yibu, and Tian Feng's words in prison emerged in his mind.

"If the army is advantageous, I will defeat them all. But if the army is defeated, I will die!"

Yeah, why bother being that annoying bad guy?
A gentleman should never stand under a dangerous wall!
Liang Yibu didn't notice the expression on the counselor who grew up with him, and it was impossible to know his inner thoughts.

Seeing the other person lower his head means that he is impressed by his courage and mind.

So he became more and more happy. He straightened his clothes and ordered to his left and right: "Go ahead and pass on my order!"

"Order the supervisors, chiefs and deputy supervisors to dispatch troops according to the deployment today, without any mistakes!"

"I want to make the smoke rise thousands of miles away, I want to make Shaanxi scream, and make Bianjing shake!"

As a result, countless fast horses galloped out of Nanmouhui and rushed to all directions.

From west to east, from Xixia's right wing to the Shunjian Army Division to the left wing of the Shenyong Supervisory Army Division.

The standing troops of the Xixia Supervisory Army Division deployed along the Song-Xia border began to take action.

In the following days, the entire Shaanxi Province was filled with smoke and war.

This was the third year of the Autonomous Period. After Dangxiang Li Liangzuo launched the Battle of Dashun City, the Dangxiang people once again launched such a large-scale all-out invasion!
For a moment, Sanfu was shocked, and the world changed color!

But for some people, this is the opportunity they have been waiting for!

It was late that night when Liang Yibu issued the order to launch a full-scale invasion.

A light cavalry came from the night to the gate of Bianjing City.

"Xihe Road is on horseback!" The knight on horseback raised the side newspaper in his hand and shouted to the city tower.

A hanging basket was immediately put down on the city tower. The knight put the side newspaper into the hanging basket, found a place under the city gate, and fell asleep.

On the tower, the officer on duty had been awakened, and then he saw the side report that was sent.

"Hurry up and prepare a horse for me!" He did not dare to delay at all and gave the order directly - report to the capital. It is extremely urgent. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished!

So, after the officer came down from the tower, a fast horse was ready.

He immediately got on his horse and headed towards the imperial city.

All the way through the bustling night scene of Bianjing, passing by the brightly lit tiles, hook rails and night markets.

Crossed Zhouqiao, crossed Yujie, and arrived at Xuande Gate.

"The horses on Xihe Road are rushing into Beijing!" He got off his horse and came to Xuande's door, holding up the side newspaper in his hand.

On the tower of Xuandemen, a hanging basket was immediately put down, and he immediately put the side newspaper in his hand into it.

The guards on the tower took back the hanging basket, took a look at the paint-sealed side newspaper, and did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone quickly to the Tongjian Department under You Zhaoqing Gate.

The official on duty at the Tongjian Department did not dare to neglect, and immediately notified Guo Zhongxiao, the general secretary of Hemen.

Guo Zhongxiao got the side newspaper and looked at the seal used on the paint: Xihe Lanhui Road Route Route to appease the envoys.

He immediately knew that this was the highest-level military intelligence report on Xihe Road, so he did not dare to neglect it and sent it directly to Funing Palace.

At this time, it was almost midnight, and Zhao Xu had already fallen asleep and was swimming in the modern world in his dream.

Suddenly, he was awakened by Feng Jing's voice.

"Official family, official family..."

Zhao Xu woke up immediately and looked at Feng Jing who was waiting on his bed.

"The official, Guo Sheren asked to see him at night, saying that there was a horse coming to the capital on Xihe Road."

"Bring it quickly!" Zhao Xu stood up and gave the order without thinking much.
