Chapter 709 - I want to deceive Gao Yu
An Qingze is quite over!
It's a big loss!
An Qingze has several thousand people...... And they are not Tubo and Qiang, but the party and the nation!
How many Tubo and Qiang people die, Chage will not feel distressed, but the party members are different.
Since the party members are compatriots of ethnic minorities, the population is certainly small. Before, he lost the 20,000 troops of Renduo and Renduo's loyalty. Now he has lost thousands of people from An Qingze's super department, plus miscellaneous losses. In just a few months, the number of people in the Western Xia was reduced by nearly 40,000...... If this continues to be fought, will the nation of the Great White High Kingdom be extinct?
In addition, it was originally Chago who was in the lead in this "robbery competition". The Han people he killed and plundered had to lose a lot of party members and Qiang people, and he also got a lot of property.
When the prisoners and belongings are brought back to Xiazhou, Chage's prestige can be established.
But now I've lost a lot of money, but it's really a big loss! Not only did the Pochao Department have thousands of people from the party and the state, but also many cattle, sheep, horses, and grain and goods, far more than the good things in the Saimen Village, which was full of bitter archers and archers' families. And quite a superdepartment is a famous nobleman in the Great White High Country, of course there are many good things!
Comparing the two, it's really a loss!
"King, hurry up and retreat!"
"King, you can't stay any longer......"
"King, there is more than one superordinate department in the land between the rivers!"
The generals who followed Brother Cha couldn't help but persuade him to retreat. The Western Xia Iron Harrier is hereditary, although the original warriors are from all party departments, but it has been passed down for decades, and the relationship is weak. However, the regular soldiers of the garrison were all recruited from the Dangxiang tribe, and some of them came from the Anqing Zepo Division, and many more came from the Hejian Land.
If the tough bandit cavalry in Yinzhou is wiped out one by one, many people will be ruined! So can the generals who lead the troops in the garrison not be in a hurry?
Brother Cha's eyes were red, his teeth were rattling, and his cheeks were even hotter. It seems to have slapped a few big ears for the robbers of the Song Kingdom......
This time, it was not a large number of thousands of people who were lost, but the prestige of Qianshun and Brother Cha as the leaders of the bandits.
And also let the Hengshan Fan and the Hejian Dangxiang tribe know how powerful the Heavenly Khan Zhao Ji is!
It turns out that Zhao Ji is the most powerful robber in the world!
Xiao Heda's brows were also tightly wrinkled, although he was a Khitan, he still knew where An Qingze was. This elite cavalry of the Song State was able to run from Yinzhou to Anqing Ze to spread wilderness...... and also destroyed a party tribe at once!
This shows that the Song people have found a way to train excellent cavalry!
You can't let this cavalry of the Song people grow stronger, and you have to use the power of Western Xia to strangle them at a relatively weak stage.
Xiao Heda, who had made up his mind, immediately said to Brother Cha: "King, it seems that this cavalry of the Song people is a strong enemy for Judah!" In any case, they must be wiped out, otherwise not only Yinxia will not be protected, but even the meadow between the rivers will not be protected. ”
Brother Cha nodded, but looked at the city wall of Fort Ansai in the distance, "This cavalry is indeed going to be slaughtered, but ...... Gao Yu can't let this guy go! ”
"Great King......" Xiao Heda looked at the Jiancheng opposite, "We can't beat this city." ”
"You don't have to fight ......," Cha Ge said, "Let's withdraw our troops and lead them to chase after us!" ”
"Citation?"
Xiao Heda shook his head: "Can you draw it?" ”
Brother Cha smiled: "I can't look at the capital!" ”
"Money? The king means ......"
"Aren't there still a few thousand prisoners in Saimen Village?" Brother Cha said, "Those are all Han people from the left side of Yan'an!" This king doesn't believe it, Gao Yu can watch so many Han people being escorted away from under our noses! ”
……
"Shiyan, it's really a good time for you to come!"
"How?"
"The thief has retreated!"
"Withdrawn?"
"That's right! Retreating! ”
"Really?"
"Hehe, let's go with our house and have a look."
Gao Yu was really a lucky general, and when he entered Ansaibao under the escort of a cavalry led by Liu Zhongwu, he was just in time for Brother Cha to retreat.
So he followed Tong Guan up to the wall of Ansai City to watch Chage's army pull out the camp and retreat...... Oh, Gao Yu and Tong Guan didn't know at this time that the tattered army on the other side was personally led by Chage, the king of Jin who was a thief in the west.
Although through the torture of the captives, the Song army already knew that the king of Jin of the Western Thieves had led his troops to Xiazhou to sit in the town. But they didn't know that the western thieves who crossed Hengshan and entered the territory of Yan'an Mansion were led by Brother Cha...... It doesn't look like it, how can Brother Cha's soldiers be so broken?
"Captain, the overseer, there seem to be our people over there!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted, Gao Yu was stunned when he heard it, and he was still wondering who our people were? Tong Guan, who was standing next to him, had already snorted coldly: "Damn the West Thief......"
Immediately afterwards, the generals on the upper floor of the castle of Ansai began to talk one after another.
"It's all the people of Saimen Village......"
"It was plundered by the western thieves, it is really better to live than to die!"
"I actually drove to Ansaiburg, I must have wanted to use them to attack the city, right?"
"You have to save them......
Gao Yu also saw clearly this time that many men and women wearing the clothes of the Han people appeared outside the gate of the camp of the West Thieves, all carrying large bags and small bags, and under the supervision of the heavily armed West Thief soldiers, the crying shook the sky, and groups drove north.
Seeing these people crying and being escorted away, Gao Yu's heart also softened, and he said to Tong Guan: "Great official, it is better to send a messenger to talk about it, and use the prisoners captured by the Sanzhi Forbidden Army to exchange with the western thieves." ”
Swap captives?
Does the Great Song Dynasty have this rule?
Tong Guan was a little crying and laughing, and said to Gao Yu: "They plundered us too many people, if you want to exchange, two thousand or hundreds of people are not enough." ”
In fact, Tong Guan means that for so many years, the Western Xia didn't know how many Han people they had captured to be slaves, and the Song army had not captured many party members, how to exchange?
But Gao Yu was mistaken, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but I just ask Wu Dalang to send cavalry to the Hejian grassland to arrest him." ”
How much is missing, how much is caught?
Tong Guanxin said: You think the party members are rabbits? Catch as much as you want...... However, there is merit in this guy's approach.
Thinking of this, Tong Guan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and meet the Western Thief."
Liu Ziwen, can your cavalry fight? ”
Ziwen is Liu Zhongwu's name, he first made meritorious service in the last battle of Hehuang, and then was convicted, and he lost his official position and resigned along with Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian. However, he didn't have the luck of Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian, because he missed the third battle of Hehuang because of a leg injury, and now he is only the ruler of Yan Yanlu. This time, he was ordered to take a general's cavalry and escort Gao Yu into Ansai Fort.
"War can be fought, but ......" Liu Zhongwu looked a little embarrassed. The cavalry he brought with him would have only 2,000 regular cavalry, and it would not be a heavy cavalry capable of charging into battle, but a light cavalry.
"It doesn't matter," Tong Guan said with a smile, "as long as you can fight...... Our family doesn't plan to fight the Western Thieves in a decisive battle, as long as we can hang them.
Captain Gao, what do you think? ”
"Okay!" Gao Yu didn't understand at all, anyway, he knew that it was right to listen to Tong Guan, "If you go out of the village, you will meet the western thief!" ”
……
"The Song army is going to war?"
When Chage heard the report from his subordinates that the north gate of Fort Ansai was wide open, and a group of Song troops were driving out, he was already on his way to retreat north.
"Good!" Brother Cha smiled, "Gao Yu really fell for the trick." ”
"The king," said the junior colonel who came to report at this time, "the Song general Gao Yu wants to negotiate with the king for an exchange of prisoners." ”
"And this king?" Brother Cha asked, "Does he know that this king has come to Yan'an?" ”
"I don't know, he just wants to negotiate with our unified army."
Brother Cha smiled: "Heda, go with this king." But you have to pretend to be a general, let's call Li Heda. ”
As soon as Xiao Heda's name was heard, he knew that he was a Khitan, and he called Li Heda like a party nobleman who was given a surname.
Then Brother Cha asked someone to take a Li Zi banner with no official title, and brought dozens of iron harriers who covered Qingtang armor with leather robes, and went to the palace army with Xiao Heda to meet with Gao Taiwei.
Not to mention, Gao Yu's current appearance is really a bit of a famous general. Because of the tanned skin in Huangzhou and Shanzhou, the beard has grown quite long, and it has been trimmed into five locks of long hair. He was also wearing a Qingtang armor pulled from the dead man, and a tall Jiehe Dragon stallion under his crotch, escorted by dozens of Jiehe utility cavalry carrying horses on his back, he arrived in the center of the battlefield with great momentum.
Brother Cha and Xiao Da also led people to ride their horses to a place thirty or forty steps away from Gao Yu and restrained their horses.
Xiao Heda said in Chinese in a loud voice: "The Sprinkle family is Li Heda, the commander of the Great White Gao State, but he is the high captain of the Song State?" ”
"This official is Gao Yu!" Gao Yu's voice was also not small, "Today, the official asked Li Tongjun to answer, just to exchange the two prisoners. ”
"Prisoner exchange?" Xiao Heda pretended to have a contemptuous expression, "You also arrested my people from the Great White High Kingdom?" ”
"I have caught some," Gao Yu said, "there are 2,000 women and children from the superordinate department, and hundreds of women and children from the vicinity of Mida Cave." Is it enough to exchange the Han people you caught in Saimen Village? ”
"Not enough!" Xiao Heda said loudly. In fact, the exchange of prisoners does not have to be one-to-one, two thousand or hundreds of party items, and the exchange of five thousand Han people is not a loss for Western Xia.
"It doesn't matter," Gao Yu said reasonably, "The official just asked him to go to the riverine grassland to catch some more...... How much is missing? ”
"You ......" Brother Cha, who was following Xiao Heda, heard this, and his face turned black with anger!
"Heda," Brother Cha finally resisted the urge to fight the Song army immediately, and he whispered, "Tell Gao Yu that when our army has crossed Hengshan, we will talk about the exchange of prisoners." ”
"Whoa!" Xiao Heda understood that Brother Cha wanted to use this excuse to trap the Song army, to see if he could lure them away from the Ansai Wall, as long as they were far away from the walled city, they would have a chance to attack.
