The 770th Great Xia Sovereign

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Wei County fell.

When the Chinese New Year was only one day away, the news reached the Yanyun Army Camp in Fanshui, and the news made everyone's New Year's joy fade away.Since the invasion of Hebei, Yanyun's army has rarely been defeated.Xu Shiji led the army cautiously and determinedly, and when Xia's army was greatly weakened and morale was low, Wang Fubao's Xia army and Yan Yun's army had never won a battle.

However, since the beginning of winter, Wang Fubao led his troops to take strict precautions and never went out to fight again. During the cold winter, it was difficult for the Yanyun army to launch an offensive. Several attacks were strictly guarded by Wang Fubao. A truce for now.

Blindly defending is a disgrace to the Xia army. It is disgraceful to be forced by the enemy to dare not leave the city on the territory of Daxia.But defense is of great benefit to Xia Jun. Although Yan Yun's army is not short of food, the food road is too long.The weather was severe and the food transport team had a hard time moving forward.There were a lot of ice floes on the Yellow River, and the fleet also returned to Juyeze to rest.For the Yan Yun Army in Hebei, the difficulties they face are far greater than those of the Xia Army.

Therefore, as long as Wang Fubao does not fight, he is consuming the combat power of Yanyun Army.

Whether it is from Zixing Luocang or Liyang Cang to transport grain, it is thousands of miles away.Such a long food road consumes a lot of money and food along the way.Calculated on the basis of thousands of people guarding food, from Xingluocang to Hebei, the food consumed along the way is ten to two or three, and if there is rain or snow in the sky, the loss will be even greater.

And from Dongping County, Qi County, and Lu County to transport grain, although the road is close, but across the Yellow River, grain transport boats must be careful when crossing the river.

Everyone thought that the stalemate would continue this winter, and Yan Yun's army waited until the spring was warm before attacking.Xia Jun also took advantage of the winter to rest and gather strength to prepare for a counterattack.

But at this moment, Wang Fubao's counterattack came.

Although Wei County is a small place, its strategic location is extremely important at this time.Xu Shiji personally led a large army to station in the area of ​​Yaocheng in Weijun, Zhang Liang led an army of [-] to station in Guantao County, and Wang Fubao led troops to attack Wei County, which was equivalent to driving a nail between Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang.

If it wasn't for Fanshui and Xue Wanche's [-] army, the Yanyun army's line would have been cut in two by Wang Fubao.Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang's men and horses could not communicate with each other, and it was difficult to see each other from head to tail.

Fanshui County is only about a hundred miles away from Wei County, and when Wei Yong's personal troops rushed out of the encirclement to Fanshui, Wei County had already fallen.

After Wei Yongzhan died, nearly [-] Yanyun troops were slaughtered.

In this battle, after the Xia army conquered Wei County, there was not a single person left alive.Nearly [-] corpses were thrown from the city wall by Xia Jun, and they were discarded in the wilderness outside the city without burying or paying attention to them.The corpses were frozen as hard as rocks outside the city, and became the winter meal for the lone wolf and wild dogs.

It was Wang Fubao's adopted son Wang Pao who gave this order.

The teenager Wang Pao is only 17 years old, and he is deeply loved by Wang Fubao.Wang Fubao never married for half his life, although he and Dou Hongxian are still inextricably linked.However, Empress Cao and Dou Jiande both opposed this marriage, and the two could only grieve separately.In a fit of rage, Dou Hongxian found a nun in a nun, and led her to practice.She no longer ignores the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty.

A female hero who has made many achievements on the battlefield is accompanied by this ancient Buddha.

Wang Fubao was loyal to Dou Jiande. Although he knew that Dou Jiande didn't trust him, he still shouldered the burden of defending Daxia. Without him, it would be impossible for Xu Shiji to fight to the prefectural city before winter.

After seeing Zhao Xiaosan, Xue Wanche who was stationed in Fanshui heard him tell what had happened, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and his face became serious.

The location of Wei County is indeed important.

"Xia's army attacked the city, how many troops?"

In the Yamen of Fanshui County, Xue Wanche leaned over and asked Zhao Xiaosan who was standing below: "Who is leading the army to attack the city?"

"It's too dark, I only saw the enemy wearing white robes, sneaking under the city wall under the cover of the heavy snow, and climbing the city wall with a hook and lasso. General... the city wall of Wei County is too short! When the city rushed out to ask for help, the Xia army had already entered the city. It seems that there are no less than tens of thousands of people... The general who led the army should be Wang Fubao. Who is it?"

"Tens of thousands of horses..."

Xue Wanche frowned slightly, pondered for a while and said, "Go down and rest, your general may have died in battle... Don't worry, I will avenge your general."

"Thank you, General!"

Zhao Xiaosan wiped away tears, bowed and retreated.

"Dezheng..."

Xue Wanche looked sideways at the man in brocade clothes standing beside him, frowned slightly and asked: "Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve... If you lead the army to counterattack Wei County immediately, I'm afraid the soldiers will feel conflicted... But if you don't immediately Taking Wei County back, the Marshal will definitely be displeased."

"General"

The one with the word Dezheng is a thin man who looks to be in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, and obviously has a reputation.But he didn't wear an official uniform, which seemed a little strange.

"I was thinking, Wang Fubao really just wanted to fight Wei County when he attacked Wei County?"

His name is Cui Qian, the head of the Boling Cui family.

At the beginning, he sent people to Chang'an secretly, intending to surrender to Datang.When Ashina Duoduo led the prairie cavalry southward, he had to seek protection.It happened that Xu Shiji led the army to go north, the people he sent felt that it was not easy to travel thousands of miles away to Chang'an, so they simply went to see Xu Shiji directly.

Xu Shiji knew the influence of the Cui clan in Boling, and if the Cui clan surrendered, it would be much easier to win Hebei, so he sent someone to recruit Cui Qian to serve in the army.Both Xue Wanche and Xue Wanche were promoted by Xu Shiji because of their meritorious service in defeating Dou Jiande.

……

……

Cui Qian is the patriarch of the well-known Boling Cui family, and his influence is not limited to just one county of Boling.In the whole of Hebei, including the Cui family in Daxiaguan, there are as many as a cow's hair.It is definitely a good thing for Yan Yunjun that he can come to serve Yanyun Army in person.

When Xu Shiji recruited Cui Qian to join the army, he was forcing Cui to express his opinion.Logically, Patriarch Cui would never leave Boling so easily.But Cui Qian's arrival surprised everyone.

Xu Shiji asked the Cui family for an attitude, and the attitude the Cui family gave was obviously clear and unexpected.

Because of Cui Qian's special status, it was difficult for Xu Shiji to arrange a position in the Yanyun Army, so he was simply asked to work in Xue Wanche's army. Although he has no official position, his status in the army is like a long history.In Fanshui Yanyun Army, the status is second only to Xue Wanche.

This person is thoughtful and flexible, and Xue Wanche respects him a lot.

"Dezheng, what do you mean?"

Xue Wanche asked.

Cui Qian used to be a lieutenant general in the Great Sui Army, and once followed Daye Emperor Yang Guang to conquer Liaodong.Later, he was an official under the command of Luo Yi in Zhuojun County, and once achieved the position of governor of Zhuojun County.When the Great Sui Rebellion began, he resigned and went home.Because of the great power of the Boling Cui Clan, Luo Yi didn't make any trouble for him.

Cui Qian walked to the front of the map, pointed to several places where the Yanyun Army's 10 troops were stationed, and drew a line with charcoal: "The commander-in-chief is in Yaocheng, we are in Fanshui, General Zhang is in Guantao...Wei County is in In the northwest of Fanshui, it is the closest to Wang Fubao's men."

After he connected the line, he glanced at Xue Wanche: "General, look."

After this line was drawn, the situation suddenly became clear.

"I understand!"

Xue Wanche seemed straightforward, but in fact he was very scheming, and he understood Cui Qian's meaning with just one glance: "Wang Fubao's plan was not Wei County's idea."

Cui Qian nodded and said: "Although the location of Wei County is very important, once Wei County is lost, Xia Jun will rush forward for more than a hundred miles, like a nail wedged into our army's front. But... this nail is still wedged. Not deep enough!"

"Wang Fubao's intention is to cut off the connection between the commander-in-chief and General Zhang. But it's still far from just taking down Wei County..."

"Attack Wei County..."

Xue Wanche pondered for a while and said: "Lead me to lead the army to rescue, and he set up an ambush halfway. If he really wants to cut off the connection between the commander-in-chief and General Zhang, I in Fanshui...is the one Wang Fubao will deal with. A Wei County, it's really not enough... Wang Fubao, it's easy to calculate."

He looked at Cui Qian and asked, "Dezheng, have you thought of a way to defeat the enemy?"

"If you don't lead the army back to Wei County immediately, the morale of Xia's army will be greatly boosted. And if you rush there in such a hurry, you will fall into Wang Fubao's trick to lure the enemy."

Cui Qian thought for a while and said, "But we still have to fight."

He leaned close to Xue Wanche and whispered a few words.Xue Wanche's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

……

Wei County

On the city wall, Wang Fubao in silver armor looked at the corpse of Yan Yunjun outside the city, and couldn't help frowning slightly.Throwing all the corpses of Yan Yunjun outside the city was an order from his adopted son Wang Pao.In any case, it would be immoral to do so.Since ancient times, even if the two sides have a deep hatred, there are very few incidents of abuse of the corpses of enemy soldiers.

More prisoners of war were killed, and fewer were tortured.

"Be brave"

He turned his head and looked at Wang Pao who was standing beside the god: "Tell me, why do you want to do this."

"Father."

Wang Pao raised his head, looked into Wang Fubao's eyes and said: "When two armies are at war, the corpse should not be humiliated. This is the truth from ancient times, but the truth is told by people, and it is the truth. The situation is different now... In the past six months, we After repeated battles and repeated defeats, the soldiers were almost suffocated by the enemy's pressure. For the enemy, the soldiers even
