After Brother Wei Mingcha entered Zhuoluo City, he did not immediately take out the wine Zhongxian and Renduo Baozhong that he brought from Kaifeng Mansion to drink, but went directly to the festival hall of the Right Wing Supervisor Military Division.

Now he has a little disagreement with Ninda Baozhong, and if he doesn't bridge it first, he doesn't have the heart to drink.

He couldn't be clearer about Rindo's ability to defeat the battle and the weakness of the Right Wing Army. Even if there were no more than 10,000 "Great Song Dynasty warriors" from Kaifeng Mansion, relying on the original Fanhan soldiers and horses on Xihe Road alone, Renduo Baozhong and the Right Wing Army would not be able to defeat them.

As for the stupid man of the Western Domain, Xi Luosa, Brother Cha has nothing to say. Tsongkha had already done so, and he also started a civil war with Tobaro. Now Tsongkha and Tibetans are scattered, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, they are just sitting and waiting for the country to die.

In this regard, Xixia can't save it! Because the Right Wing Army couldn't defeat the Xining Army of the Song State at all - the last time they defeated the Xining Army in the Great War, the last time they defeated the Xining Army in the Great War, Brother Wei Mingcha had not yet been born! The troops that have not won many battles for so many years can still fight now?

It is also unrealistic to draw a large army from the Lingzhou and Wudinghe areas on the eastern front to aid the west, because after the Song army basically controlled the Hengshan line, the Wudinghe area and Lingzhou (Xipingfu) have lost their protection and may be attacked by the Song army at any time.

And the Western Xia army arranged in the Wuding River area and Lingzhou will definitely not be able to defeat the Song army in person, only because of the greater logistical pressure of the Song army and the relatively strong castle held by the Western Xia army, it can barely support - after the loss of Hengshan-Tiandu Mountain, the Western Xia, who originally did not pay much attention to building castles, had no way, and began to learn from the Great Song Dynasty to repair the city wall, so it was able to temporarily withstand the pressure of the Song State. But if the main force is withdrawn from the Wuding River area and Lingzhou, then once these two places are attacked, the Great White High Kingdom will be in danger.

Therefore, Brother Wei Mingcha can only cook a meal without rice now, and he can't even think of a decisive battle with the Song army on the Western Front.

"The Song army is very sharp, and our army is now weak and invincible, so we can only outwit it."

Rindo Baozhong said: "What the king said is very true, and the last general is also planning a way to outwit. According to the detailed report, the Song army is currently transporting grain, grass and baggage to Anxiang Pass and Jingyu Pass by water. I want to prepare for the troops to send troops from the north and south, and I will attack Huangzhong. And we just mobilized our forces, secretly penetrated into the river, and joined forces with Doropa to break the enemy along the way. ”

Rindo's plan to protect loyalty was not unfeasible, but Chago knew that he would not be able to win. Because it is impossible for the Right Wing Army to mobilize too many troops to sneak into the Huangzhong. After all, the area around Zhuoluo City still has to be heavily guarded! If the main force of the Right Wing Army was dispatched, Zhuoluo City might be attacked by the Song army in Lanzhou.

Once Zhuoluo City falls, it is possible that the Song army will stop and cut Western Xia into two sections! At that time, Qingtang City's gains and losses will not matter at all. Western Xia even had to abandon the Wuding River area to mobilize troops to stabilize the situation in the Hexi Corridor.

Once the Wuding River area falls into the hands of the Song army, then the Song army will have an additional place to settle fields, which can greatly alleviate the logistical pressure. In this way, Xingqing Mansion and Lingzhou will definitely be attacked in a few years, and most of the Qinwangchuan in Hexi will also be attacked at the same time.

At that time, Western Xia will have to make a choice between moving the country westward and risking a war to the death! As long as one of the three places of Lingzhou, Xingzhou and Qinwangchuan fell, Western Xia would be in danger of falling.

Therefore, the main force of Zhuoluo City cannot be moved! And the main force of the Right Wing Army did not move, so it relied on the partial division of more than 10,000 people, and went to Huangzhong to die. And if the Western Xia army is defeated in Huangzhong, it is better not to go!

Because the defeat of the Western Xia division in Huangzhong would greatly shake the prestige of the Western Xia in the Hehuang Tubo tribe, once the prestige was lost, the Hehuang Tubo tribe would no longer count on the assistance of the Western Xia, and I am afraid that it would not resist after the Song army occupied Huangzhou, Kuozhou, and Shanzhou.

And after the Song army captured Huangzhou, Kuozhou, and Shanzhou, it instigated the Tubo tribes to resist and dragged the Song army into the quagmire for consumption, which was the clever plan of Brother Weimingcha!

Thinking of this, Brother Wei Mingcha had to shake his head slightly: "Unify the army, what this king means, it is better to let the Song army enter Qingtang......"

"Let the Song army enter Qingtang?"

"Yes!" Cha Ge said, "Qingtang is four hundred miles away from Lanzhou, and it is a mountain road. It was impossible for the Song army to transport grain from Lanzhou to Qingtang, and they had to eat in Qingtang. Moreover, the Song army Xihe soldiers mostly use Fanbu, although they are good at fighting but the discipline is extremely poor, once they occupy Shanzhou, they will inevitably plunder, so the Qingtang Domain will inevitably rebel again. As long as we provide support, we can make the Song army fall into the middle. ”

"But sooner or later, the Song army will subdue the domain!" Renduo Baozhong shook his head, "At that time, the departments of Shanzhou, Huangzhou, and Kuozhou will be used by the Song State. Song Jun will even get a dragon stallion from Qingtang! ”

"Commander," Brother Cha thought for a moment, "and what are you going to do?" ”

"Send troops to Huangzhong, and merge the two armies of Doropa and Xiluo Sa, and go to meet the elite from Kaifeng of the Song State for a while!"

"No, no." Brother Cha shook his head repeatedly.

"Great King," Ren Duo was loyal but had a high fighting spirit, "the lower officials are willing to make a military order, as long as there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is enough to destroy the Kaifeng elite of the Song army!" ”

"No, no, it's too risky......"

……

In late June, when the summer was coming to an end, Wu Haowen followed Wang Hou, the envoy of Taoxi Jingluo, and Tong Guan, the superintendent of Taoxi, and arrived at Anxiang Pass on the bank of the Yellow River.

He, Wang Hou and Tong Guan arrived at Anxiangguan by boat from the Yellow River waterway. Arriving with them were the elite of the 8,000 forbidden army led by Gao Yu and Wang Yu.

And long before they arrived, the Fanhan forces in the Hezhou area were mobilized. An army of 15,000 people has already set up camp in front of Anxiang Pass.

Unlike the composition of the Song army on the eastern front of the Song-Xia battlefield, the Song army on the Xihe Road on the western front was mainly Fanbing, that is, soldiers and generals gathered from the Tubo and Qiang tribes that belonged to the Great Song Dynasty.

These generals were not hired by the Song dynasty in their personal capacity, but were tribal soldiers who followed their leaders into battle. Not only is the combat effectiveness considerable, but the cost of use is very low, there is no need for daily maintenance costs, and the weapons and horses are also provided by the tribe. Therefore, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and Taozhou, which are barren states, can mobilize an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people at any time.

And this time, the scale of the Xining army's troops reached 50,000! Among them, 42,000 belonged to the Han generals on Xining Road, and 8,000 were forbidden troops transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture.

In order to speed up the march, Zhang Shuye, who was in charge of logistics, did not gather the people, but mobilized a large number of pack horse carts. For two months' march, auxiliaries and pack horses and carts will carry them with the army.

When these grains are eaten, they will have to use the method of virtue to convince the people to eat the food of the Tubo tribe - there are hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads from Lanzhou to Qingtang City, and it is basically impossible to rely on road traffic to maintain logistics.

However, this could not be effective not only for the Great Song Dynasty, but also for the Western Xia army in Zhuoluo City. Therefore, the gains and losses of Huang, Shan, and Kuo depend on whether they can obtain the allegiance of the Tubo tribes.

"Comfort, do you want to bring more silk and copper coins on the road?" Wu Haowen, who was on the expedition for the first time, was not only nervous now, but also a little at a loss, not knowing what advice to make, and after thinking about it all the way, he remembered to bring more money.

Listening to Wu Haowen's words, Wang Hou laughed, and thought: If he is worthy of being the younger brother of the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, he knows how to bring money.

"I've brought a lot," Wang Hou smiled, "Keeping it will allow the soldiers to fight." ”

"Do you want to bring some silk and copper to buy the domain?"

"There's no need," Wang Hou still shook his head, "The barbarians are all afraid of power and not virtuous, it's useless to give them money, just beat them up!" If you don't fight them, it's useless how much money you give. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hou suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that there are always some people in the court who don't understand this truth, thinking that they can win the hearts of the vassals with kindness and righteousness...... Wang Huangcheng was wronged by them! ”

Some people in the DPRK were not referring to Wu Haowen's father-in-law, Han Zhongyan, but Zeng Bu. Zeng Bu believed that the last rebellion of the feudal people was the result of the plundering of the feudal department by the Wang Zhen of Zhishanzhou (who was the chief general of the last march into Hehuang), so he demoted him to prison and beheaded him to thank the party. In the end, the edict was matched with the Changhua army, and Wang Zhen was unwilling to be humiliated and hanged himself.

Wu Haowen knew about this, he was already an official when Wang Zhen was unlucky, but he didn't feel that Zeng Bu's handling was inappropriate at that time. In his opinion, the generals on the front line are sometimes too arrogant......

"Wangdao, when you get to Shanzhou, you will know......" Wang Hou paused, "It's not too early now, you go and settle down early." Tomorrow ......"

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind, Wang Hou turned to look, but saw that the person who came was a cronie next to Wang Hou.

The cronie walked quickly to Wang Hou and Wu Haowen, hurriedly saluted, and said: "Lanzhou Zhang Zhizhou just sent someone to report that the Jin King Chage of the Western Thief has arrived in Zhuoluo City, and he has brought 3,000 iron harriers!" ”

"3000 Iron Harriers?" Wang Hou and Wu Haowen glanced at each other, and then said to their cronies: "Invite Tong Daguan, Gao Taiwei, and Wang Taiwei to the government office." ”

"Whoa!"

……

"3000 Iron Harriers?"

"Does Brother Cha want to fight us in the Western Domain?"

"How's that okay?"

"We have to march right away......"

The Iron Harrier actually didn't have 3,000, but the fine work sent by Uncle Zhang was not good enough to count - of course, Brother Cha would not let Song Guo's fine work get close and count slowly - so he misreported the number of Iron Harriers.

3,000 Iron Harriers plus King Chage of Jin, it is clear that it is going to be a decisive battle!

So Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and Wang Yu were all a little nervous. They still know the name of the Iron Harrier.

However, Wang Hou is not worried about the iron harrier. Because he knows that the current iron harrier is not as brave as it used to be. If the 4,000 house slave soldiers brought by Wang Yu can calm down on the battlefield, it will be enough to destroy the offensive of the Iron Harrier.

But he still decided to march immediately, and he had to take Huangzhong before Chage. Because only by winning Huangzhong can he convince people with virtue! If Brother Cha's army arrives first, the domain will be looted by the party first, and the oil and water will be gone?
