At this time, an old ministry from Huangzhou gave the final answer, this person is called Tong Guan, who originally worshiped under his own door, because he can speak a few words of Tibetan language, Wang Zhong, who was sent to Huangzhou last year, is about to leave.

What answer did Tong Guan give? It is the origin of the brook. This person had always served as a regimental training envoy in Huangzhou, and most of the clansmen were soldiers, and they had a close relationship with Wang Xu, the pacification envoy of Huangzhou.

In fact, at the beginning, I was very happy to hear that Wang Shu had taken Li Xian from Liangzhou, so I specially wrote to His Majesty the Emperor, suggesting that the remaining troops of Qin Fenglu should be dispatched to reinforce Lanzhou as soon as possible, and then I could free up my hands to open up the road to Liangzhou, but after listening to Tong Guan's introduction, Li Xian hesitated.

He has also heard of what the horse Wang Shu has done over the years, and he didn't like and dislike it at first, but since the horse arrived in Huangzhou, it has become more and more eye-catching.

first killed dozens of forbidden army officers in one go, and many of them were their own old units. Then he abolished the right of the forbidden army to tuntian and return to Yi, and also released wild words, saying that he did not want the imperial court to raise troops with a penny of military expenses, and even had to pay taxes to the imperial court.

It is understandable to say that the dog did not look at the owner's face, after all, the horse is the first time to lead the troops, and he doesn't know the rules here. But the things that I did later went beyond the rules, and this is going to kill everyone's life.

Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, and Yongxing Military Road are fighting all year round, and relying on the military salaries given by the imperial court to raise soldiers is only enough to eat.

Everyone knows that it is not good for the army to monopolize some businesses by relying on convenience, but the subordinates must eat, drink and reward money, otherwise they will not contribute to the war. The imperial court can't come up with so much money and food, and the imperial court will blame the unfavorable battle under its command, and in the end, it is the generals who are unlucky.

As for those civil officials, it doesn't matter if they are demoted, who is not a big family, even if they are not wealthy, there will be a group of protégés who have passed away, and maybe they will be reinstated one day.

But eunuchs and generals like themselves were not so lucky, and no one cared about scrubbing all the basins on their heads in the end, and the only way out was to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and strive to win a few more battles. This is not harmful to the imperial court, and the imperial court is also well aware of this matter, but no one will say anything.

If the horse king is allowed to do this, once it succeeds, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally take this as an example. What's the most popular at the moment? Two words, reform! The new policy is being reformed, the military system is being reformed, the official system is being reformed, and even the ancestral patriarchal law must be reformed.

And this concubine was the vanguard of the emperor's reform, and he not only affected the interests of the old party, but also touched the interests of the military family in the northwest, and even the new party advocating reform is quite critical of him at present.

How so? Tong Guan is a good proof of this. He is Wang Zhongzheng's staff, and Wang Zhongzheng is also a faction among the eunuchs who support the New Deal, so it can be said that he and the New Party are grasshoppers on the same rope. Since Wang Zhongzheng sent Tong Guan to come all the way to tell the details of Rosa in the stream, the meaning is self-evident.

He has no old or new tendencies, and the only allegiance is His Majesty the Emperor, but he can't offend most of the courtiers because of a colt, and they are all heavyweights.

The horse is protected by the eldest princess, even if he has no official position, he can still enjoy royal treatment, and if he becomes the target of the public, the end will inevitably be death without a place to be buried.

So how to deal with this situation? In fact, it is not difficult, as a commander who has been fighting at the border all the year round. Liangzhou City is an important place that the Western Xia must save, and he only needs to slow down the pace of the attack slightly, drag it out for ten days and half a month, and the Western Xia army will solve this man's undesirable horse for the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if he escaped with great fortune and did not die, Liangzhou City was lost and lost, and he lost thousands of soldiers in Huangzhou, and he would definitely not be able to escape. The most important thing is that he also disrupted the entire battle situation, and once the battle of the Five Roads was unfavorable, someone would follow this big basin.

At this time, you can see how hated this horse is, the grain officer who originally transported grain and grass to Lanzhou suddenly fell seriously ill, and he was replaced by a commander of the Xiang army surnamed Liang.

As a result, the commander chose to take the waterway, but unfortunately encountered a violent storm, and there was not one out of ten grain ships, most of them sank, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded.

Without food and grass, even if the emperor comes, it is useless, and the army cannot go on an expedition. Regrouping the grain and grass is possible, but it will take time. Could it be that God understands his hardships and specially rains such a timely rain?

If Li Xian thinks so, he is not worthy of being a strategic envoy along the way. Soon the answer surfaced, the new grain transport officer's surname Liang was correct, but he had a nephew surnamed Qian, who served in the Huangzhou Forbidden Army, and was later cut down by the horse Wang Xu, and the body was still hanging on a wooden pole outside the city, and it has been dried into a skeleton and is still not allowed to be buried.

Obviously, someone in the Northwest Frontier Army is going to deal with this colt, and the trick is very clever, not only reasonable and legal, but also reasonable.

As for whether there was the instruction and assistance of the old and new parties of the imperial court in the future, it is difficult to say. After all, it is not the right of a magistrate to appoint such an important office, and it still needs the approval of the Privy Council. Why was it so coincidental that this surnamed Liang was chosen?

But the matter did not end here, to say that the horse king was really not given in vain, he actually sent messengers to all states at the first time, and the places north of the Yangtze River were almost all over.

The capture of Liangzhou, an important town in Western Xia, is gratifying, but it is even more difficult if it is added to the status of the accompanying capital. Even those who are disgruntled and bent on the death of their horses have to make a gesture of ecstasy in the face of this battle report that has been made public.

At this time, not only can you not pull back your legs, but you also have to call louder than anyone else, and the court must quickly support Liangzhou.

The emperor was also a little blindsided at the beginning, when did his unreliable brother-in-law become a handsome talent, and he was so sharp. If you don't play, you don't play, you will directly lift the hole cards as soon as you play, and you will go to Xixia with a shot.

Looking at the map, as long as you are not a fool, it will be clear that once Liangzhou is controlled by the Song army, you will have to lose half your life. But the emperor also knew in his heart that this sister-in-law's fate had reached the extreme, and it seemed really unreliable to count on the current border army generals to help.

But Wang Xu's all this is caused by the royal family's efforts, and he still expects him to continue to be a-stirring stick to help him divert his attention, coupled with his sister's friendship, he really can't give up.

Looking around, there seem to be few people who can fight and are most likely to contribute to save the horses, and they can't send troops from Hebei Zhulu, and the distant water can't quench their thirst.

At this time, Wang Shao proposed a candidate, who is it? His son, Wang Hou. If anyone knows more about the situation in the northwest, Wang Shao said that no one dares to say first.

Wang Hou is almost a copy of Wang Shao, he has followed his father on horseback since he was more than ten years old, and he led an army to assist his father in fighting in his twenties, and his record has always been good.

So Wang Hou couldn't even see the sun in Kaifeng the next day, and hurriedly took his three family members to set foot on the official road to Lanzhou overnight. After arriving at the place, he took over the original head of Qinfeng Road, and prepared to take the forbidden army of Qinfeng Road to aid Liangzhou.

What can I do without military rations? Wang Hou directly dismissed the 60,000 soldiers and people in Lanzhou, and confiscated all their grain for military rations. At the same time, he found Li Xian with the holy decree and explained that his flank needed cover.

Li Xian looked at it, yes, if he delayed any longer, he would be working against the emperor, not only could he not delay but also have to be proactive, showing a posture of not being a person until he was in Liangzhou.

Li Xian is good at attacking, and Wang Hou is good at defending. So Li Xian, in the name of holding all roads hostage, himself replaced Wang Hou and went north. And Wang Hou was responsible for suppressing Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, not giving them a chance to free up their hands to come back to help.

The name Wang Hou is indeed quite apt and kind. At this time, he didn't understand what the emperor meant by deliberately letting him come all the way to Lanzhou, since the commander was going to lead the troops to the battle, it was very appropriate to cover up or something.

In this way, Li Xian took a total of 10,000 cavalry on Xihe and Qinfeng to Liangzhou non-stop.

This time he was really anxious, he had done everything he should have cooperated before, and it was God's will whether he succeeded or not, and no one could blame himself for the old and new parties.
