Chapter 66: No Blood in the Heart, Good Luck!
It's late autumn, and the early morning wind blows on your body, and it's cold and biting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yu Zang Hua Ma walked over in the small valley next to the West Envoy City, stepping on the withered grass under his feet, and looking up from time to time to look at the eastern sky that had just revealed the white belly of the fish, and his face was full of anxiety.
Ye Li Yu begged him in a low voice: "Relax, it will definitely be a good omen for a while." I'll tell you a message, don't spread it. A few days ago, it was agreed that the leader of Michuan, a golden dragon, would marry another daughter of Wuzhu as his wife, and he would be a horse attached to his country with you. And it's not just a golden dragon, the second son of the second son of Zongge City has also been attached to the country, as long as you take Qinzhou City this time, then the land of Longyou will be owned by a few of you. When the time comes, hold the pass of Longshan, who can help you? ”
"Oh-" Yu Zang Huama agreed, didn't say anything more, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
Yuzang Huama's forces are in Lan and Hui Prefectures, because the relationship with the various tribes of Hehuang and Tubo is relatively estranged, and it is impossible to extend his influence there, he cares about what the golden dragon is doing. At present, the party has built two small cities, Wachuan and Fanchuanhui, at the pass of Mabitshan from Lanzhou to Didao, isolating the road between Lanzhou and Hehuang, and the two are unrelated.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Yu Tibetan Department that the party used troops against the soldiers, and took the northern line to fight Yakcheng, rather than sending troops from Lanzhou.
Blind felt took the initiative to attach to the Great Song Dynasty, but the felt horn was attached to the party at this time, and when you study it carefully, it is actually related to the remnants of the Xiliang Liugu Fan Department that was destroyed by the party. Most of the remnants of the forces of the six grains were attached to the party, because the six valleys were not in harmony with the party, and they could only resolutely resist the party, and most of the forces hostile to the party were on the side of the party. And the blind felt is attached to the niche valley in the six valleys, no matter what his wishes are, anyway, he must stand on the opposite side of the party, and can only attach to the Song Dynasty. Only far away from the Huangshui Basin, the Yellow River and the Tao River can remain neutral between the two. The two are opposed, and the small forces caught in the middle are not strong enough, so they can only choose to stand on one side.
In fact, how is this not the case with Yuan Hao of the party? Sandwiched between the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty, his father and ancestors were all left and right, and they took advantage of it from both sides. This situation can exist because the power of the party is strong enough, and both the Khitan and the Song can use him. Yuan Hao can't even accept this situation, if he has to be the emperor himself, then it depends on whether he has such a big head to wear this hat.
A golden light burst out from the distant mountain, and the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up.
"The hour has come!" A man dressed as a wizard shouted loudly, and led the sheep with two apprentices.
Yuzang Huama and Yeli Yuqi were nervous, staring closely at the wizard's every move, for fear of missing every detail.
Holding the sheep, the wizard and his two disciples slaughtered it cleanly, skinned it, and even took out the internal organs.
The sorcerer carefully looked at the entrails of the sheep, and with a wooden staff in his hand, he shouted to the sun: "The stomach is fine, the heart is bloodless, and the teacher is lucky!" This battle will inevitably take Qinzhou City, this is a gift from God to the king, and it cannot go against the will of heaven! ”
Yu Zanghua Ma let out a sigh of relief and cheered with everyone.
Ye Li Yu begged with a smile on his face, and said to Yu Zang Huama: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, what are you hesitating about!" ”
Yu Zang Huama faced the rising sun, opened his arms, and said loudly: "Heaven's will has fallen, where can I dare to have any doubts!" This time, we will send troops to Qinzhou, and we must unite as one and go all out to fight the enemy. - If you break your oath, there is such an arrow! ”
As he spoke, he took out an arrow, broke it in half, collected half of it himself, and handed the other half to Yeli Yuqi.
Ye Li Yu begged carefully put away the broken arrow, and said loudly: "Everyone work together to cut down the Song, if you violate the oath, there will be such an arrow!" ”
After speaking, he raised the broken arrow in his hand high, and the people gathered in the small valley cheered together, and the momentum shook the sky.
Fan Qiang heavy witch divination, before the army to choose a good day and auspicious day, in advance a night of incense and prayer, in the valley to burn grain cloth. The next morning, if the sheep's stomach is unobstructed, it means that there is no obstacle to sending troops, and if there is no blood in the sheep's heart, it means that the troops are lucky.
Yu Zanghuama, who has been hesitating, got this auspicious sign, and no longer had any doubts, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart.
Yeli Yuqi was even more relieved, glad that he had finally completed the task. The party has set up 12 military supervision divisions across the country, and stationed heavy troops on the border, but because the focus of the response is the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan, the military supervision department facing Xifan has fewer troops. Specifically, it was to guard against 70,000 Khitans, 50,000 on the two roads of Yanyan and Linfu, 50,000 on the two roads of Huanqing and Jingyuan, and 30,000 troops on the Gansu Road to guard against Xibo and Huifu. The rest of the heavy troops stationed in the hinterland area are mobile offensive forces. Facing Qinzhou is the West Shou Jian Xi Division in the north of Rou Wolf Mountain near Tiandu Mountain, and the Zhuo Luo and Nanjian Military Divisions in Zhuoluo City near Lanzhou, because there is Yu Zang Hua Ma in the middle, but it has nothing to do with Qinzhou, and is mainly used to guard against Ao Luo and Hexi.
This is the first year of Yuan Hao's reign as emperor, and there will inevitably be a big war in the autumn and winter, and the party can't spare much troops to attack with Yuzang Huama. The 3,000 people of the Xishou Prison Army Division are already the limit of what Yeli Yuqi can mobilize now. There and the Jingsai Supervision Army Division in Weizhou strangled Huchuan on the left and right, and it was not really the existence of the Great Song Heavy Army on Jingyuan Road.
The party and military system, each regular soldier is equipped with about three people, and the Han people say that it is miscellaneous service. This is a Qiang custom, not only for the party, but also for the Khitan and Tibetans, and it is a military reflection of their tribal slavery. So don't look at the tens of thousands of troops sent by the party at every turn, there are not many real regular soldiers.
Yuan Hao's first large-scale military campaign against the Song Dynasty was still placed on Dunyan Road and Linfu Road. They have been making military preparations there for a long time, have found out the geography and human conditions, made targeted arrangements, and have the help of Hengshan Qiang, which is the most suitable place to launch a major war. Moreover, after Yuan Hao became emperor, although the Great Song Dynasty strengthened the military strength of the border state army, there was no unified strategy for the party, and there were many loopholes to grasp. For Yan Yan, the military forces of the entire territory of the party have been transferred, and the right wing on the west side is no exception.
The party is a soldier for all the people, which may sound very powerful, but in fact it is based on tribal slavery. The regular soldier is a small slave owner, and the miscellaneous servants such as Zhan Zhan and the village women are considered serfs, and when the war starts, the regular soldiers take their lives to rob the wealth and people, and the burden is passed on to those miscellaneous laborers. You must know that even if the regular soldiers die in battle, their status is inherited by their descendants, and it is almost impossible to change the status of serfs. Even if they don't treat these miscellaneous servants as human beings and oppress them fiercely, they will always rise up and resist. Therefore, it is necessary to win the battle and grab the goods to supplement the consumption of the war, once the battle is lost, especially if the core main force is eaten, there may be chaos.
Ye Li Yu begged Yu Zang Huama to attack Qinzhou, but he didn't expect him to really occupy it. In the end, the party is not the king of the soil who nests in the mountains like the Yu Tibetan Department, this insight is still there, how can tens of thousands of temporarily gathered tribal soldiers be able to capture such a heavy city, the Song army just does not resist, and the city gate is closed and let them fight for a few years. The purpose of Yeli's beggar encounter was to contain the Song army on the western front, and to divert the attention of the Song dynasty as a suspicious soldier and relax the vigilance on the eastern front.
As for what to do if Yu Zang Huama failed, Ye Liyu begged them to die, and his power weakened the party and entered the Western Envoy City.
