Chapter 1521 Two Old Acquaintances, One is Still a Brother, and the Other Will Be a Sworn Enemy

In terms of the current situation, the difficulty of Jingkang was that the first southern invasion of the Jin army had already broken through Bianliang in Tokyo, because Li Xiaozhong had not had time to write a letter of impeachment and criticism when Li Gang was ordered to pacify the two rivers, but was pursued by the imperial court, and had to change his name to Li Yanxian and escaped, and then surrendered again at the critical juncture when the Jin army had already annexed the entire territory of Hedong Road...... But now he still appears in Shaanzhou to resist the Jin army's siege?

Xiao Tang was a little surprised when he heard the battle report, and then he also learned that the Jingnan Army that he had selected and trained in Hedong was involved in him, the former commander, who betrayed the imperial court, and Wang Jin, Niu Gao and other lieutenant generals also fled, and it seemed that other generals still had something to do with him, the leader of the anti-imperial court, and the various units of the Jingnan Army were divided into two, one part of which had been transferred to Yan'an Mansion on Yanyan Road with Li Yongqi, and the other part was still led by Li Xiaozhong and the Dang brothers to stay on the side of Rongbian in Hedong.

The subsequent events also have many similarities with the official history, and the Song court committed the old problem of using literature to control the military, especially for military affairs, which is completely ignorant of civil affairs and even suppressing the generals and commanders in the army. Originally, Li Xiaozhong admonished Fan Zhixu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, who led the forbidden army eastward, to pass through Shaanzhou in the east, although the land of Kun was dangerous, it was difficult to garrison, and it should be divided and marched together, so it would not be flooded and defeated, otherwise the crowd would gather in and out of the food, and the danger would easily lead to the collapse of the whole army. The defender of the city will make Wang Xie lead his troops to escape when he recaptures the city, and then immediately recruits a large number of people from all over the country, Zhuang Xiangyong and the surrounding anti-Jin rebels, in order to open up a position and fight against the Jin army.

And the Song court was pleased to hear that Li Xiaozhong had recovered the vital place of the soldiers in the west, and he was also named the governor of Shaanzhou and the pacification envoy. Li Xiaozhong was finally reused by the imperial court for a while, but no matter how big the official seal was, the military strength at hand was still insufficient.

It's just that according to the trajectory in the official history, although there are still various western armies stationed in the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Jingyuan area, but when it comes to the difference between factions and the different minds of some people, I am afraid that Li Xiaozhong's side in Shaanzhou will have to support the situation independently, and I can't expect the Song army to have reinforcements for the time being......

Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, although the current war environment is not as sinister as the original trajectory, in the official history, when the Northern Song Dynasty was dead and the Kwantung region fell, only Li Yanxian was left in the area east of Tongguan when he was in danger, and his outstanding ability as the chief general of the army to command the volunteer army to fight a defensive battle broke out, and he resisted desperately for two years, so that the Jin soldiers could not drive straight into the Central Plains, and faced the 100,000 Jin army after all, they were still martyred. Even if the pressure of the onslaught of the Jin army is not as sinister as in the official history, the killing fighters of the two armies are changing rapidly, and there are too many changes in the trend of the battle now, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any variables that will cause the Jin army to invade that important piece of land again.

Coupled with the friendship with Li Xiaozhong back then, it is said that if there are still people on the Song army's side who have ghosts and refuse to send troops to reinforce Shaanzhou, it is also incumbent on them to send troops and horses to help. However, the city of Taiyuan, which is heavily surrounded in the north, and the small Xianggong who is afraid that he has now been forced to lead his troops into the place where the soldiers died...... In the same way, if it is necessary to disperse the army to rush to the north and south to help, how should it be deployed?

"Brother! Even if Shaanzhou is not broken, but the Li Xiaozhong brothers lead the lone army to defend it, we will not be able to sit in the rear of the Hedong battlefield and lose, and I don't want to see the past robes and Ze alone is difficult to support! I would like to ask for orders to lead the troops and horses to Shaanzhou to help.

What's more, although the Li Xiaozhong brothers did not gather with their brothers in the name of the green forest strongman, they have all reached the same season, if the Song army of the imperial court is still not helpful, and the elder brother has the title of the commander of the imperial court to resist the Jin, presumably he can already say that the Li Xiaozhong brothers have joined forces to do great things together! ”

When Xiao Tang was thinking about it, Niu Gao had already jumped out first and asked for help. Originally, they were all colleagues who had served in the Jingnan Army, not to mention that Li Xiaozhong was praised as a ranger, open-minded and heroic, and at the beginning of the Song and Xia National War, he was the first to fight side by side with Niu Gao, who obeyed orders under Xiao Tang's tent. With this deep friendship, Li Xiaozhong's military situation is urgent, and Niu Gao, an honest and righteous martyr, of course, refuses to be a watcher.

Li Xiaozhong, who had fought side by side before, was enough to put each other in his heart, and now he also recruited antibacterial righteous soldiers from all walks of life in the surrounding realm, and was very good at fighting defensive battles, and he was able to win him into the gang, Xiao Tang was of course happy to see him. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Tang also made up his mind, and immediately said: "Of course, you can't just teach the Niu Gao brothers to lead the men and horses to rush to Shaanzhou to help, splash Han Wu, and then you will lead the reinforcement army, and lead the Hengchong army to go with the Niu Gao brothers... There is also a chain of villages in Taihang Mountain, as well as the anti-Jin Zhongyi Baoshe Righteous Army recruited in Heshuo Prefecture...... This time I went to Shaanzhou, not only to rescue Li Xiaozhong and relieve the siege, but to clear the Jin army that was rushing after copying, so as to prevent future troubles! ”

Niu Gao's face was happy when he heard this, and he immediately straightened his waist and accepted the order loudly. As for Po Han Wu, Han Shizhong raised his head, and his uninhibited smile appeared on his face as always: "This is a good feeling, although the Sprinkle family is happy to do a lot of work with the brothers, there are few ministers in the army who looked at me Splash Han Wu, but the Sprinkle family is still a military man from the Western Army." Straight lady thief, now seeing the Western Army being pulled from the east and west, withering and dividing, these battles have also taught the Sprinkle family to see a belly of birds, and now my brother has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, this battle must kill the Tartars who besieged Shaanzhou, not only to save and return Li Xiaozhong's hero, but also to teach me to achieve great achievements, and show my face in the Western Army colleagues back then! ”

Xiao Tang Sifu is led by famous generals such as Han Shizhong who have the ability to unify the army, and then led by Niu Gao, who can also stand alone in today's war, and the troops of the Taihang Mountain Lianlianzhai and the Zhongyi Baoshe Righteous Army, which are located in the area south of Hedong Road and Shaanzhou, are not far away, and Li Yanxian, who is defending Shaanzhou, leads the army and civilians in the city to cooperate with the outside, and it is enough to kill the enemy army led by the Jin generals such as Ulu Retreat, Ah Hula, Pull Out Speed, and Confession, and he can also free up his hands on his side. Led the rest of the troops to continue north to Taiyuan for reinforcements.

The Weisheng Army, which is separated from Longde Mansion and Taiyuan, has been in and out several times in the past when conquering Zhang Di and fighting Tianhu, but now it is also the state capital that has fallen and is occupied by the Jin army.

Not only is it a very familiar place for Xiao Tang, it has become an area that must be recovered when advancing further north, and when the light cavalry scout sentry revisited the movements of the Jin army entrenched in the territory of the Weisheng army, he also heard the report: "When the commander of Jinyu, Wanyan Muhan, pacified the counties under the rule of the Weisheng army, Wu Li, a wealthy Weisheng household, not only brought his family wealth to serve, but also took his young sister and Wanyan Puluhu as a concubine. When the Jin army invaded the state capitals of Fen, Jin, and Shi to the west of Hedong, he appointed Na Wu Li to temporarily guard Tongqi County, the seat of Weisheng military administration......"

Although he has known Wu Li of the Weisheng Army for a long time, in the past, he took the initiative to come to show favor before and after Xiao Tang was still in the official residence of the Song Dynasty, but now when the country is in trouble, Wu Li immediately joined the Jin Army, and Xiao Tang was not surprised at all. After all, with the temperament of this guy, he will never be a rich man in the countryside, whether it is to follow the trajectory in the original book to seek refuge in Tian Hu and covet to be a puppet privy envoy and the uncle of the puppet emperor, or now to serve the Jin army to seek fame and wealth, this is also due to the temperament of that Wu Li.

Supposedly, I have received a lot of favors from you in the past, and I expect you to keep to yourself... But even now, you still do such a thing of defecting to the enemy, no wonder I don't remember the love of the year at all...... Xiao Tang thought in his heart, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Rush to aid Taiyuan, it is advisable to rush and not to delay, except for Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, who led the men and horses of the department, to jointly decide the Taihang Mountain Serial Village and the Loyal and Righteous Baoshe Righteous Army to rush to help Shaanzhou, the rest of the troops will set off immediately after listening to my order, and quickly take Weisheng Tongba...... Since I got acquainted with each other back then, even if I have become a rival now, I have to go to meet that Wu Li in person. ”
