Chapter 677 The enemy is in Kaifeng Mansion 5
In mid-July 2018, the harvest season is coming.
Xihezhou City and the ancient city Didao were also shrouded in the joy of harvest at this time. In addition to the joy of harvest, the military newspapers from Huangzhou and Shanzhou also immersed this small city located on the northwest front line in a rare atmosphere of joy. It was not because the Xining army won a great victory, but because the Xining army suffered minimal losses in the Hehuang border this time.
Moreover, the farthest and most difficult-to-control western Shanzhou, the western part of Shanzhou, has been handed over to Renduo Baozhong, who surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
This means that the volunteer service and military service undertaken by the civilians and soldiers in Xizhou is much lighter than expected.
In addition, Xifan Prince Xi Sherosa and his followers were also arrested by Renduo family in Renduoquan City and are now on their way to Xizhou.
The capture of Xisheluosa also means that the people in the descendants of the Song Dynasty suffered the heaviest setbacks of the people in the rebellion against the Song Empire. In addition, the previous defeat of the Fan tribes in Huangzhou and Shanzhou and the large losses of the large number of Ding Zhuang can make the Fan people there safe for decades, right?
The only thing that worries people in Xizhou now is that the rebellion of Renduo Baozhong is likely to trigger another round of decisive battle between the Xixia and the Song Dynasty!
In Didao City, on the hall of the Xihe and Jingyuan, Lu Huiqing, who was the commander of the two routes, was savoring the cloud and mist tea sent by the official family, while smiling at the memorial to report the victory drafted by his staff for him.
In the hall, several scholars sat upright, and no one spoke. They looked at Lu Huiqing and waited for his question.
These people are all Lu Huiqing's aides.
"What are Zhong Ruowen doing?"
Lu Huiqing suddenly spoke with a bit of teasing in her tone.
He is in his early 70s and has been in the officialdom for decades. He has seen too much. His edges and sharpness have long disappeared, leaving only the cunning and cunning.
The more difficult part of the old traitor than the young traitor is that he can clamp the fox's tail, so that his opponent can't find any problem.
This time, Lu Huiqing was in Xining, and the Jingyuan army was an old fox with no tail exposed. In the previous war, he, the two generals, seemed to have no presence at all. He did not go to the frontline inspection, nor did he issue any orders to Wang Hou, Tong Guan and Zhang Shuye. Of course, he did not interfere with the command of the Taoxi Commander.
He is a scattered man. His only job is probably to modify the staff to draft the good news for him.
Then, Lubu Feijie and sent him to Kaifeng Prefecture.
If Zhong Fu hadn't been to behead the suspiciously high army in front of the palace, he would have thought that the number of alive prisoners had not been seen and reported it directly to the ground.
Anyway, Huangzhou, Shanzhou and Guzhou have been taken over, and Renduo Baozhong has also surrendered. The Xihe Army has completed the instructions of the government 100%! He, the general, made an indelible contribution to the clay sculpture and wood carving.
At this time, the most important thing is not to continue working hard, but to seek stability!
As an old fox, Lu Huiqing knew the problem of the Song army being a slasher. At the beginning, the king and his ministers were united, and the soldiers were willing to work hard. Generally, they could always make a good start. But with a good start, the next bad things should come.
Because the Song army likes to separate power and control the general, the three armies often do not have a clear commander. At the beginning, all aspects can cooperate and fight a few battles. However, the drama of fighting to the back, fighting for the blame, striking each other's back or even sabotaging each other will begin, and there are very few surprises.
In addition, Lu Huiqing knew the problems of the Kaifeng Prefecture court very well. The court far away in Kaifeng Prefecture could not understand the situation on the battlefield at all, and could only rely on the memorials of the ministers, military supervisors, and horses to grasp the situation.
These memorials often exaggerate victory when the war is going smoothly, and exaggerate enemy situation when the war is not favorable.
Therefore, when victorious, the court usually becomes blindly optimistic, and then raises its original goal, allowing the front-line troops to complete impossible tasks. When they fail, they will be frightened by the front-line reports and make unnecessary concessions to the enemy.
Now Cai Jing and Su Dongpo, who are in power in the central government of the Song Dynasty, have no experience in presiding over military affairs. Although the officials are talented, they are too young and have no experience. Therefore, they are more likely to be deceived!
Therefore, in the eyes of Lu Huiqing, the fox who has become a spirit, it is already an unexpected surprise that the Xining army can fight to the current level. What else can we expect? Can we destroy Xixia in one fell swoop? It is impossible... to seize Zhuo Luocheng and Qin Wangchuan? If Zhong Fu does not destroy the strait, he may succeed.
But now, the Xining Army and the Palace Front Army are already depressed, and the Xixia side is already prepared. It is impossible to succeed in sneak attacks, and the strong attack strength is not enough.
Therefore, the best strategy is to bluff, intimidate Wei Mingcha Ge, and attract the main force of Xingqing Mansion to come and reinforce.
Xining, the staff of Jingyuan Shuaishousi, of course, understood Lu Huiqing's thoughts. One of them hurriedly stood up and said, "Reply to my husband's words, Zhong Ruoweng is planning to establish the Hexi Provincial Strategy and Pacification Department, and he also wants to squeeze out Zhang Jizhong as the governor of Lanzhou."
Lu Huiqing browed and said to herself, "Do you still want to stop when you see the good?"
The staff quickly analyzed: "How is he willing to take it? The Western thieves first suffered a crushing defeat in the Haoya River, and then Renduo Baozhong took half of the Renduo family to rebel. Their Right-Chang Zhuoluo Army Command went to at least 30,000 troops! And they had to wash away the relatives left by Renduo Baozhong in the Right-Change Army. The combat power of the entire Right-Change Army was at least half! Not to mention the low morale and panic."
When Lu Huiqing heard this, she sighed softly.
"Actually, Zhong Ruowen has missed the opportunity, and every time he delays for a day, he is less sure of winning.
To draft a memorial for me, it is recommended to use bluffs and small-scale wars to attract the Western thieves to the Right Army, so as to create a chance to win for the decisive battle on the eastern front."
Another aide asked in a low voice: "My husband, can you give the first contribution of destroying the Western thief to Tao Jiefu like this?"
Lu Huiqing snorted and laughed: "Isn't my credit worth enough? If Su Dongpo is gone, there will always be a right prime minister. Why do you have to have another problem? Besides, after being disturbed by Zhong Ruoweng, Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian were no longer motivated. Tong Guan also said that he wanted to go to Beijing to report his duties, and Gao Qiu also said that the army in front of the palace was exhausted and wanted to drive back to Kaifeng Prefecture for rest. How can this battle be fought? Can the people on Xihe Road do it?"
"Maybe we can transfer troops from Jingyuan Road." An aide said, "Zhong Fu brought Zhong Shiji, and he might have the intention to use Jingyuan troops."
Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Let him ask the court for an order by himself! Anyway, I don't support him in underestimating the enemy and advancing."
...
Lu Huiqing didn't know that the Xixia Right Fang Army was at its peak when the people were panicked.
Because Renduo Baozhong surrendered after his defeat, a 20,000 army was defeated in the Haoya River. When the entire army was about to be wiped out, he had to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Such a situation is even more shaken than the simple Renduo Baozhong being won over by the Song Dynasty with the land of Qingtang!
The barbarians fear power but do not have virtue! The army of 20,000 Renduo was defeated and surrendered almost destroyed in many people's eyes. If they can't defeat it, they will not surrender. Are they waiting for others to kill to Renduoquan City to slaughter the old and young clan?
Moreover, the conditions given to Ren's many families by the Song Dynasty were really tempting. All the Qingtang lands west of Zongge City, including the Qingtang City that even Xia Jingzong Yuanhao could not capture.
Now the relatives of the Renduo family on the front line of Zhuoluo City, including the in-laws of several Renduo families, have become unreliable. The Qingtang land west of Zongge City is huge! To the west, you can even conquer the Achai tribes and the Huangtou Uighurs near Qinghai, and open the passage to the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khan Uighurs. To the southwest of Zongge City, you can also suppress the Tubo Tusma tribes, and even expand your power to the snowy plateau!
How can the Renduo clan survive such a large territory?
Therefore, in the right wing army of Xixia, many tribes close to Ren's family were determined to defect! In the future, they followed Ren's family, and were at least regarded as the flesh shield against the Song Dynasty by Wei Ming's family!
In this case, Wei Mingcha Ge cannot immediately slaughter the right wing army to clean up, nor can he sit idly by the situation of people's hearts. He can only comfort the people and replace the Renduo family or the generals and subordinates who have close ties with Renduo families. However, these withdrawn generals and subordinates are not alone, Xixia is also like the Liao Kingdom. They are all elected clans in the world. Even if there are all officials, they cannot lead troops in the Right wing army. Therefore, when these people leave, they will also pull away the clan members they brought, and these people are all elite! Wei Mingcha Ge should be afraid of mutiny, giving the Song army an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, and they dare not kill these left wing army and elite soldiers.
In this way, the elite of the Right Fang Army quickly lost and its combat effectiveness also declined sharply!
In this regard, Wei Mingge Cha had to make the worst plan except asking Xingqing Prefecture for help! On the one hand, he sent his confidant garrison to control Renshou Mountain City, prepared the items to attract fire, and burned the stored grain that was not too late to transfer at any time; on the other hand, Cha Ge also moved the Right Xiang Army Office from Zhuoluo City to Qinwangchuan, controlled the granary of Qinwangchuan, and sent people to transport the grain from Renshou Mountain City to Qinwangchuan to store for long-lasting needs.
Obviously, Wei Mingcha Ge also expected something that Renduo Baozhong could think of at the first time.
However, there was no way for Zhuoluo City, Bulk Zhu City, Shuibo City and other strongholds. Before he received a large number of reinforcements sent by Xingqing Prefecture, the number of elite troops in the right wing that he could control was too small, and it was impossible to divide the troops and could only be prepared to hold on to the Qin Wangchuan.
If Zhong Fu launched an attack at this time, even without the participation of the Palace Front Army, he would have been able to advance to the front line of Qin Wangchuan very quickly!
The Xingqing Prefecture, after learning about the crisis on the Western Front, was already in panic.
Chapter completed!
