Chapter 638: Fishing in Troubled Waters
"Like a man!" Liu Fa looked at Liu Qi and Qu Duan, shook his head again and sighed: "Avenging the dead Tongze is reasonable, but it is really difficult to hide the killing of prisoners......
For the hundreds of Western Xia cavalry who surrendered, Liu Qi and Qu Duan's subordinates had no intention of taking them for military merit, but ordered to kill none of them.
The screams and the sound of knives and guns entering the body sounded, thinking of the miserable death of those husbands, Liu Qi and Qu Duan's subordinates were immediately stimulated, these soldiers did not immediately ask for the lives of these Western Xia soldiers, the knives and guns in their hands first gouged out the opponent's eyes, cut off the ears, nose, and then cut off the opponent's hands, feet and limbs, and finally cut the life of the other party.
These Western Xia soldiers, who had turned into human sticks, screamed miserably in the freezing snow and did not die until the blood was exhausted.
Ruthless, ruthless!
At the end of the year before last year and the beginning of last year, three thousand prisoners were killed in Renduoquan City, and it was just a beheading, but in front of them was a tragic and abnormal torture, even the battle-hardened veterans also felt like vomiting at the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, these Xihe soldiers understood why the Western Xia officer named Boshule chose to commit suicide, and it turned out that suicide was the easiest way to die.
……
Looking at the two of them, Liu Fa said again: "You two are under the command of Jingyuan Road and Liu Shuai of Huanqing Road, and the old man has no right to dispose of the two of you!" ”
"Thank you Liu Shuai for not sinning!" Liu Qi and Qu Duan hurriedly bowed their hands.
"How's the battle going over there?" After finishing the chores, Liu Fa asked about the situation ahead.
……
"Good!" Hearing that Liu Qi and Qu Duan told the battle situation in Shunzhou, Liu Fa couldn't help but applaud: "This kind of strategy can only be thought of by the Book of Music, I am a great talent comparable to the Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no reason for the immortal country of Western Xia!" ”
For Lotte's strategy of using soldiers, Liu Qi and Qu Duan still admire it in their hearts, but they are a little unconvinced, everyone is in their twenties, and Lotte is slightly smaller than the two of them, and there is always a feeling of unconvincing in their hearts.
Standing beside Liu Fa was not only Liu Qi, Qu Duan and his son Liu Zhengyan, but also a group of deputy generals He Guan, Yang Weizhong, Jiao Anjie, and Qu Jin also came to the front.
Immediately, Liu Fa began to say slowly: "The Xia people have 50,000 defenders in Lingzhou City, and the Daoist Department of the Seed Division is at a disadvantage in terms of troops, if it is still a field battle, it can still be decided, but it is a victory, and the Daoist Department of the Seed Division is afraid that it will not be able to march to Jingzhou for another half step, and due to the lack of troops, it will even have to guard against the counterattack of the Western Xia people; As for the forcible siege of the city, the force is even more insufficient, so it is worthy of a good move to break the embankment to lead the Yellow River and the Lingzhou River to irrigate Lingzhou.
After the two divisions of Chong Jinglu and Liu Jingluo, the troops besieged Shunzhou, and took advantage of the strategy of attacking the city and attacking the city in the book of fun, which was even more ingenious, not only forcing the Shunzhou defenders to surrender, but also eliminating 20,000 Xia troops; Then the 100,000 Xia army went south, originally intended to besiege Shunzhou occupied by our army in three ways, and Le Zhongshu decided to irrigate the Yellow River to the south of Jingzhou, so that the three Xia troops had no choice but to become two roads, exempting Shunzhou from the situation of facing the enemy on three sides, which is really admirable.
After that, the two of them used the strategy of the book in the music, and burned the summer camp with 20,000 prayer lamps by the south wind and fire, and then took the two of you as a surprise soldier to raid the summer camp. ”
After Liu Fa's voice fell, He Guan, Yang Weizhong, Jiao Anjie, Qu Jin and others also praised Lotte's excellent strategy.
Then Liu Fa's gaze swept over Liu Zhengyan, Liu Qi and others, and said: "Zhengyan, Liu Qi, and your ......"
Liu Zhengyan, Jean Qi, Qu Jin and others hurriedly bowed down, obviously Liu Fa was talking about something.
Liu Fa said: "Le Zhongshu was young and lived in the fourth grade, and after the destruction of the summer, he returned to the dynasty after the destruction of the summer, and he would be at least three grades due to his age, and it would not be impossible to become the country's chief assistant in the future." ”
Everyone knows very well in their hearts, although Liu Fa did not make it clear, but he has clearly signaled that these people have a good relationship with Lotte. Imagine that a big man who is not satisfied with the double ten and the third grade of the official residence can climb such a character, why not fly Huang Tengda in the future, even if he can't climb the relationship, he must not be offended.
After speaking, Liu Fa's gaze swept over his generals again, and said: "The old man also wants to remind you, don't think that Le Zhongshu is younger, you can despise him, as far as the old man knows, among the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee who have been against Le Zhongshu, few will end well." ”
In the northwest as a general, if it weren't for Lotte being placed under Liu Fa by Tong Guan, Liu Fa didn't know that there would be a person like Lotte, until Lotte rescued Liu Fa outside the city of Gai Zhu Wei, and then after the Zhenwu army used gunpowder to break the Cha Ge Department, Liu Fa only faced up to Lotte, and then listened to Lotte's advice, after a series of battles after the capture of Gai Zhu City, Liu Fa became more and more interested in Lotte, a young man, and also inquired about Lotte through his own channels.
Through inquiring about Liu Fa, I learned that in Biandu Bai Shizhong, Hu Shiwen, Wang Hanzhi, Li Bangyan and Prince Zhan Shi, which one of the Lotte offended was not calculated by Lotte, and Lotte had a very good relationship with King Yun and Liang Shicheng, and His Majesty also appreciated Lotte very much, so Liu Fa even concluded that Lotte would be in the position of the country's chief assistant in the future.
"The old man is old, and it is not in vain to be able to destroy the summer in his lifetime, I hope that the old man will have better luck, and maybe he can catch up with the clouds in the north." Just when everyone was thinking about it, Liu Fa seemed to be talking to himself, and then said: "Speed up the march and rush to Shunzhou City!" ”
……
100,000 against 70,000, the Xia army had the advantage in strength, after the snow stopped, the Xia army began to send soldiers to the rear of the Song army to harass the Song army's supplies, as long as the Song army's grain and grass did not continue, the battle of Shunzhou City will officially kick off.
The marshal's mansion located in the Shunzhou Prefecture Ya, the atmosphere at the moment is extremely depressing, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone's faces are showing anger, and the complexions of the planters, the masters, and Liu Zhongwu are even more difficult to see.
Liu Zhongwu couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily when he patted the case: "He Liu Yanqing is now more and more capable, not only did he not cross the Yellow River west to support us, but he directly occupied the flooded Lingzhou, and he also said that he cleared the threat to the rear for us, who didn't know that at this time, the Xia army in Lingzhou City was first flooded and died of frostbite, and now it is good to have half of it left, he Liu Yanqing is good at robbing......
There was also anger in the voice of the seed master: "Our army smashed the heart of the Xia people in Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, and King Xia retreated from the Jianing Military Division, the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division, and the Xiangyou Military Division to defend Xingqing Mansion. ”
Sighing lightly, the seed master said: "Since it has become a fact, it is useless for me to say more, if he Liu Yanqing has a little conscience, he will come to Shunzhou to support us and others!" ”
"Three handsome!" Lotte on the side sneered in his mouth after arching his hand, and said: "With Liu Yanqing's consistent style, after occupying Lingzhou, Yan Yanlu is afraid that he will not immediately cross the river to support us, Liu Yanqing has always acted timidly and calculating, and he must be watching now, if we have the upper hand, he will lead his troops to fight a tailwind battle to grab the credit, if our army is in a disadvantageous situation, Liu Yanqing will definitely take a wait-and-see situation to preserve his strength." ”
Hearing Lotte's words, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded at the same time, all agreeing with Lotte's opinion, it can be said that Lotte's words made a summary of Liu Yanqing's personality.
When the Western Xia came to the time of life and death, the east of Yanzhou, Xiazhou and other tax-paying places, and gave up Youzhou, Shizhou, Mida Cave and other strategic places where three armies were stationed, and the whole country gathered around Xingqing Mansion, with the arrival of the Shenyou Military Division and the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division, plus the men from the people, a total of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, waiting for the opportunity to fight to the death with the Song army.
Since the confrontation between the two armies, the rear supply routes of the Song army have been harassed by Western Xia rangers from time to time.
****************************
"Lingfu was captured by Liu Yanqing's ......"
Before the imperial case, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun was able to report it, and his brows immediately furrowed. Lingzhou was flooded by Lotte's tricks, and he had become a dead son and an abandoned son, but when he heard that Lingzhou fell into the hands of the Song army, Li Qianshun was still very uncomfortable in his heart.
With a long exhale, Li Qianshun ordered: "Spread my will, launch a strong attack on the Song army occupying Shunzhou early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Your Majesty, our army is currently attacking the Song army's grain route and has achieved some results, but the Song army has not yet reached the difficult place of lack of food, and now we are attacking Shunzhou, and we are afraid that there will be a lot of losses." The privy envoy Ning Liduo said busily.
Li Qianshun asked rhetorically: "Liu Yanqing has now occupied Lingzhou, only sixty miles away from Shunzhou, but there is a Yellow River in the middle, and it will take some time to cross the Yellow River. ”
Tai Lieutenant Zoro also persuaded: "Your Majesty, there has been no winter cold this year over the years, and the soldiers can't hold swords and guns, even the bowstring is often frozen, and it is really difficult to give full play to the strengths of our army's cavalry and archery!" ”
Ignoring the dissuasion of the two, Li Ganshun stood up from the dragon chair, his eyes swept over the ministers in the hall, and his eyes burned: "The Jiangshan Sheji left by the ancestors can't be saved, I am the king of the dead country, you are the ministers of the dead country, and the people of Great Xia are the slaves of the dead country!" ”
It is undeniable that what Li Qianshun said is reasonable, but the words of the privy envoy Ning Liduo and Taiwei Zolong are also reasonable, launching an attack on the supply lines of the Song army, causing the Song army to be blocked and dampening the morale of the Song army until the Song army is exhausted.
Both sides are right, but one of the two is to take the king as nature and act according to Li Qianshun's will.
