336 It's not that enemies don't get together
"I'm afraid there is no such poisonous poison in the world, and most of the well water in the city is drunk. Don't think about it anymore, pass the order, and set off in half an hour. Send someone back to Mawei City to inform Miao Kui that the first batch of box cars can set off, and they will be sent to Wusheling first. "I'm afraid Wang Da's expectations are about to be disappointed, Hong Tao really can't imagine that there can be such a powerful poison.
After passing the Wusheling Ridge, the road surface suddenly opened up, although the hot sides are still cliffs, hillsides, and rivers, but there is no problem at all to accommodate three or four two box cars driving side by side.
It is said that this is the post road from Liangzhou City to Lanzhou, and it is also an important passage for inland areas to enter the Hexi Corridor. It's just that in recent years, this road has basically lost its commercial role due to the war, and there are not a few caravans throughout the year.
As soon as the road is good, there are more and more people along the way, and you can meet a village or a herdsman's camp every few miles, most of which are not military strongholds such as walled forts, which shows that the Xia people do not pay much attention to the defense of this place.
It's no wonder, who would have thought that there would be a Song army that flipped through Qilian Mountain, and unknowingly crossed the Wusheling Mountains, and suddenly appeared in the hinterland south of Liangzhou City.
Jiang Erlang was also ruthless in these villages and camps, but he didn't have time to kill them all, just slaughtered and plundered them, burned down the villages, and continued to lead the team to the north.
Speed, now not only the special forces in charge of the front have accelerated the speed of the march, but the main force of the new army has not stopped, driving more than 100 box cars along the main road towards Liangzhou City. For the Xia people who were plowing and grazing on both sides of the road, they would shoot with bows and crossbows when they were close, and simply ignore them when they were far away.
Don't look at the camel as a slow man, but if you really want to run, you can run long legs and a fast step, plus the mountains are getting slower and the post road is getting wider and wider, and this new army, which is all carried by box cars, only took two hours to complete the last thirty miles.
After breaking through the last Xia people's tax card, Liangzhou City suddenly appeared in front of him. Take a look at it, it is very, very similar to Huangzhou City, it is also a city wall built with stone as the surface and rammed earth as the core, the length of the south side is only two or three miles, according to the false life, there is an inner city inside.
Hong Tao was already neatly draped on the road, there was a layer of leather armor under the plate armor, and the whole person instantly gained weight, and the helmet was larger than that of the new army soldiers, like wearing a steel straw hat. His neck and chin are covered by a mask, and the only thing that can hurt him is his eyes.
As a large number of box trucks appeared in the field of vision, Liangzhou City also reacted, the horns sounded continuously, and various flags were raised one after another.
This is the advantage of the speed of the march, even if the shepherds and tax collectors along the way want to come back to report the news, they have to choose a detour, and they cannot enter through the south gate, but have to go to other gates farther away.
"Just line up a mile from the city, the first battalion digs trenches, the second battalion lays siege crossbows, and the other two battalions are ready to attack the city and try to end the battle before dinner!"
Now the enemy probably doesn't know what kind of team is coming, and even if it responds correctly immediately, the new army will still have some time to arrange combat deployment.
In fact, Hong Tao did not deploy anything, and there was only one rule for his army to fight, and that was firepower coverage. If it weren't for the fact that there were many dwellings and shepherds' tents near the city walls, he would have been tempted to put his position directly on the moat of the city. Blocking the gates of the city, if you come out, I will shoot rockets, and if you don't come out, I will throw canisters of fire and oil into the city to see who is uncomfortable.
The history of the Liangzhou Thorn in Western Xia, also known as the History of the Xijing Thorn, is a relatively special position. The control of Western Xia was inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was mixed. The division of administrative regions is also mixed, including prefectures, counties, counties, and prefectures, and most of the areas are under military management, that is, the integration of military and government, which is mainly in response to perennial conquests.
Liangzhou also does Xiliangfu, which is one level higher than the state. The economy here is relatively developed, the population is large, and the name of the capital must be transcendent.
In addition to the national capital Xingqing Mansion, Xiliang Mansion should be regarded as the second most important city in the Western Xia, whoever is in this place will have greater rights than other regions of the Assassin History, and it is easy to enter the Zhongshu or the Privy Council, which is a stepping stone for the central institution of the Western Xia.
Who is the history of Xiliang Thorn at this time? Speaking of which, he has a bit of a relationship with Hong Tao, and his surname is Liang, called Liang Yikui. Does Hong Tao know this amount of one step? I definitely don't know him, but he knows Liang Yiqi's half-brother, his name is Liang Daochu! I can't talk about acquaintance, I should be an enemy.
That's right, Liang Yikui is the son of the uncle of the Western Xia State and the prime minister Liang Yiburi. This son is going to inherit Liang Yi's burial phase, so it is not suitable to always hang around in the court, and his qualifications are too shallow to convince the public.
What to do? The ancients, like later generations, wanted to enter the center of the country, they had to go out to the local provinces to work for a few years.
Always stay in the center, up and down, left and right are big guys, there is room for you to be a junior, and there is no eye-catching person to follow you. But when you get to the place, it's different, there is a lack of everything in the place, except for careerists and forces willing to hug their thighs.
But where can I get my son to get exercise and support faster and better? This place must be chosen well, otherwise it will affect the development of his son's career in the future.
In fact, you don't have to think about it, and you don't need to rely on the knowledge of the prime minister, it is a person who understands that Xiliang Mansion is the most suitable. The distance here is not far or close, and the traffic is convenient, which can not only get the movement of the DPRK and China in time, but also be relatively far away from the control range of the central government, and it is not loose or tight.
If you go to a place similar to Huangzhou like Hong Tao, it means that the emperor doesn't plan to let you be gilded. Loose is loose, but what happened in the DPRK and China will not be known until two months later, and it will be two months before I know that I want to express my views in the future, and if I want to do something, it will be half a year later, and the daylily will be cold.
Moreover, Xiliang Mansion is rich, and there are many rich people and big families in rich places. What do people think when they have money? Of course, it's right.
The future prime minister and the emperor's brother-in-law don't hurry up if he wants power. In this way, Liang Yikui stayed in Xiliang Mansion for a few years, found enough helpers, earned enough fame, and then returned to the court to rise to the official position, and he was surrounded by money, money, and people, who would dare to say that he was unconvinced?
But the old Liang family didn't know if it was because there was too much lack of virtue, or if the incense was not burned, the illegitimate son who was originally going to help his son in the military was hung up under a colt in the Song Dynasty. Now his own son is also going to face this colt, whether he can escape depends on luck, anyway, it's a bit hanging.
"Do you know who is coming?" Liang Yikui was listening to the monk's lecture in the Baoguo Temple in Liangzhou City, and suddenly received a report that a team of people was coming, and he was very puzzled and hesitant.
In addition to the party nobility in Western Xia, there was also a special political force that was the monks. Xia people worship Buddha, not pretending to burn incense or anything, but really respecting.
National teachers, Dharma teachers, and Zen masters are not only religious positions, but also ranks. The rank of the national teacher is higher than that of the prime minister and the privy envoy, and the mage and Zen master are also at the same level as the imperial history.
Liang Yiwei came to Xiliang Mansion for another main purpose, which was to get acquainted with the monks of Baoguo Temple. They are quite powerful in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou, and they are a rare help for their future positions.
If there is no big deal, he doesn't want to leave the old monk aside to take care of any thieves, and there is no possibility of a military disaster nearby, the Tubo people are hundreds of miles away, and they are being blocked by the Liangzhou army and cannot move forward, who will come to make trouble?
"Lord Qiqi, the person who came has no flag, is dressed strangely, and is driving hundreds of tall cars. According to the herdsmen who came back, they came from the direction of Wusheling and plundered dozens of villages and camps along the way, killing people and burning houses when they saw them, and they were very vicious. "The one who came to report was a forbidden officer, equivalent to the head of the guards, which was more similar to Miao Kui's position.
"There are always mundane things, and I hope that Master Haihan will come when the official goes." As soon as he heard that the village had been plundered, Liang Yiqi couldn't ignore it, and put his hands together towards the old monk before getting up and walking out.
"Lao Wei also went to the city with Lord Thorn Shi, if there is a fight between the tribes, just feel it with Buddhism." The old monk raised his eyebrows, as if remembering something, and then stood up as well.
