Chapter 10: But Shame Asks Rong Zhao (5)

[I drank too much at the banquet in the evening. Send out a chapter that was written in the afternoon, and there is no way to do it in the evening. 】

Let his brother go to send off Zhi Keshi, and the face of Chong Jianzhong, who turned back from the city gate, made every oncoming city patrol armor rider flash to the side of the road in horror and make his debut.

Waiting for the Jianzhong to beat the horses without squinting, they turned their heads and looked back one by one, whispering and discussing, who provoked this Yanai when the Yan army occupied Xiazhou City?

There is a fire burning in the middle of the chest. The few words of Zhi Keshi when he was parting made his heart full of inexplicable anger.

It's not that Chong Jianzhong wants to do this, he has always been opposed to Xu Xi's foolishness. But the decision of the seed is unshakable, and the generals and colonels in the Yan army who belong to the family are basically tired of Xu Xi and the Jingying forbidden army that made trouble with Xu Xi.

- If they want to die, let them go.

With such an idea, it is the mainstream of the generals in Xiazhou City.

If the previous theory of fishing was true, it was Xu Xi and others who voluntarily jumped into the water, not the kind of man who put them on the hook.

And it's too much to say that fishing, no one can use Xu Xi, who has a secret edict in his hand and the support of the ruling government behind him, as bait. It's just that he coldly watched him take a group of forbidden troops in Beijing who wanted to make meritorious contributions to seek death, and ignored it. His own uncle just wanted to take advantage of it.

Xu Xi has already persuaded the two governments. Prime Minister Wang Qi said he was sick. Lu Huiqing is about to pay a visit to the prime minister.

Rumors came from the capital, which made Xu Xi have the right to be independent for a while. Chong Jianzhong understands better that these rumors also made his uncle make up his mind and pushed the last hand.

He intends to sit back and watch Xu Xi bring about his own defeat, he does not intend to send Xu Xi to death with him, but he will never waste this opportunity in vain. When the thieves make a move, it is also when they expose their weaknesses.

If everything can be planned according to the plan, this time the battle of the summer will still have a chance to turn around, and it is not impossible to even go further to capture Xingling.

But there is no confidence in the construction. He wasn't sure that his uncle's plan to turn defeat into victory would definitely come true.

Before, my uncle expected the wrong Son of Heaven, and he could have taken Xixia by surprise and made the central tribe of his country fall apart, but he gave an inexplicable reason to scrap it.

The Wei Ming clan and the Liang clan, as well as several major tribes, thus used the glimmer of life that they had gained by luck to integrate the interior, unite people's hearts, and at the same time speed up the speed of clearing the wilderness. Is the defeat of Lingzhou not only because of negligence? If you don't collect troops at that time and attack Lingzhou directly, someone will sacrifice the city without fighting, and even grain and grass can be collected on the spot.

At that time, the fifth uncle didn't expect that the emperor would forcibly withdraw his troops regardless of the army's morale, and now if he makes a mistake in judgment again, the reputation of the seed is positive, but he can't afford to lose it.

And when the news reached Han Gang, with his experience and eyesight, it was impossible not to look down on his uncle's selfishness, and when the time came, how sure would he be that Han Gang would not stand up and speak?

Han Gang is upright and is famous in the army. Whether it was against the quick attack on Xingling before, or against forcing his uncle to withdraw his army later, it proves that he never looks at human feelings, and only talks about things.

In the planting and construction after dismounting in front of the state yamen, the footsteps were much heavier. is also a disciple of Zhang Zai, and he has a deep friendship, he really doesn't want to see the seed family and Han Gang turn against each other.

Back in the side hall behind the ya, Chong Pu was buried on the map, holding a newly circulated charcoal pen to draw dots.

After Chong Jianzhong entered the door, he greeted him: "Seventeenth brother." ”

Chongpu raised his head from the map and glanced back, "Sent Fold Seven back?" ”

"Hmm." Chong Jian was in the mood to speak, so he found a seat in the corner and sat down.

Seeing the appearance of Chong Jianzhong, Chong Pu dropped the map and pen and paper, and walked over: "Did you say something about Zheqi?" ”

"Well, I said that the fifth uncle was fishing this time."

"You're pretty good at analogy...... Chong Pu laughed and sat down next to Chong Jianzhong, "This is not what Zhe Ke Xing would say." ”

"I know that this is not a broken seven to pass the word for his Lao Tzu." Chong Jianzhong had a calm face and sighed, "But since he can see it, he can't hide it from other clear-eyed people." ”

Chong Pu stared at Chong Jianzhong for a long time, and sighed at the end, "I said nineteen, you read a lot, that's a good thing." But there are more thoughts, which is not a good thing. If you think too much, it's easy to look ahead and be resourceful. He tapped on the armrest of his seat, "Now that it's a foregone conclusion, it's time to do your best to make things beautiful, instead of sighing here!" ”

"Neither Qu Zhen nor Gao Yongneng will be willing to follow Xu Xi all the way to the black ......"

Most of the officers and troops stationed in Yanzhou were Jingying - several generals from Kaifeng had always wanted to make meritorious contributions, but they never had the opportunity, so they were the most ferocious this time - but a small part were the Western Army to fill the gap. When Xu Xi ordered people, he deliberately ruled out the power of the seed family, probably because he didn't want the generals of the seed family to make meritorious contributions. But Qu Duan and Gao Yongneng are not fools, Xu Xi thinks this is a reward for them, but on Qu Duan and Gao Yongneng's side, I am afraid that they all want to cry.

Chong Jianzhong asked Chong Pu: "Can the fifth uncle's plan really come true?" ”

There was only perseverance in Chong Pu's eyes: "Whether things can be done or not is done, not calculated." Instead of thinking about things here, think about how you can get things done. ”

The planting is in the middle of the building.

Chongpu returned to the table where the map was placed. The map on the table includes the Western Xia, the Hengshan, and the Xijing Road of the Liao people, and even a part of Hedong.

The movements of the Liao people are related to the overall situation of the world, and the situation seems to be preparing to start from Hebei, but in fact, it is not possible to go west. For the Liao, it is impossible not to take their threat into account.

But there is a name that he knows in the construction of the Dao Seed that has not been said - Han Gang.

Han Gang served as the envoy of Hedong Road, what does this appointment mean, just go back and check it to find out. See who can defend the frontier in times of crisis?

Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Pang Ji...... In the name of Zaizhi, there are many examples of important counties. It is reasonable for Han to be sent to guard the courtiers of Hedong during the war, and it is reasonable to add a governor or a privy deputy envoy, and Guo Kui is exactly like this. Han Gang was able to go out of Hedong at this time, even if he was limited by his seniority and could not enter the two mansions, he could basically be regarded as a first-level figure.

Chong Pu is most worried about Han Gang.

The previous defeat of Lingzhou had proved that Han Gang had a strategic vision no less than Guo Kui. Now that his father wants to succeed, he can't let people disturb Xu Xi's dream.

But once Han Gang learned about it, he would definitely do it. Chong Pu believes that with Han Gang's personality and character, he will not sit idly by and watch tens of thousands of armor soldiers take advantage of the enemy.

His father's attitude towards Xu Xi is to sit back and watch, no matter what Xu Xi does, as long as he hasn't had an accident, he must let him go on as usual. But if Han Gang intervenes, the situation will be difficult to say. If Xu Xi can't be blamed smoothly, the farmer will be in danger.

"Gan Liang can't be taken back for a while."

When the news that the Song people were stationed in Liangzhou with heavy troops came, Xingqing Mansion attacked the city and fell into the clouds again. Even because of the Battle of Lingzhou, Renduo Baozhong, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from the news coming now, the Song army on the two roads of Qin Feng and Xihe has already focused on the sweet and cool land.

Wang Zhongzheng even sent troops to repair the village at the mouth of the Hulu River. Once the mouth of the Hulu River became the control area of the Song army, the city of Yingli [present-day Zhongwei, Ningxia] on the bank of the Yellow River would not be able to hold on for long. When Yingli City became the stronghold of the Song army, the road to Ganliang was completely sealed by the Song army, and the section of the Yellow River upstream of Yingli no longer belonged to Great Xia.

Wang Zhongzheng's intentions are not difficult to understand. Liang Yibu has also heard the story of the string high priest. Because of the high strings, the Qin army failed to sneak attack Zheng Guo and had to withdraw the army, in order to have an explanation after returning home, and also because the thieves were not empty-handed, they destroyed the slippery country on the road.

Wang Zhongzheng is now turning to the sweet and cool line in Hexi, just to have an explanation. And the result of his doing so is to completely cut off the possibility of Western Xia recovering Ganliang in a short time, unless he can make up his mind to give up Yinxia.

But no one dared to make this determination.

Although Ganliang is important, it is not the lifeblood of the Great White High Country after all. It's okay to say that you lose Ganliang, but if you lose Yinxia, the grain, finance and taxes will be halved...... At the same time, there is only one place left, and there is only one way to perish in such a big white high country. Even if he was lucky enough to win the battle of Lingzhou, Great Xia would only have the strength to survive.

In the land of silver summer, only Yanzhou can make money and help the country, Qingbai Pond salt is not inferior to the Song Dynasty to solve the salt of the superior refined salt, the price is cheap, at most, Qingbai Pond salt accounts for as much as three percent of the salt consumption in Shaanxi. For many years, the trails deep in the mountains have been filled with smugglers.

But salt can only make money, and food is everything. The main grain producing areas in the land of Yinxia are only on both sides of the Wuding River, more precisely the section from Yinzhou to Xiazhou.

If the Song people destroyed Yanzhou and Shizhou, but they didn't have money for a while, Yantian would still be there, and they would eventually be able to recover. However, if the Song people seized Yinzhou and Xiazhou, without the supply of Yinxia's grain stocks, and without the support of the Hengshan Fan Department, the grain and grass transfer starting from Xingling would not even be able to support the arrival of the army at the foot of Hengshan.

Gotta win!

Even if all means are exhausted, it is necessary to make the Liao State officially mobilize the sword soldiers. No matter what, we have to find a way to drive out the Song people who are entrenched in Yinzhou and Xiazhou.

Liang Yi made up his mind.

At the end of July, Xingqing Mansion has gradually turned from scorching heat to autumn coolness, and the oncoming wind is also a little less hot in summer.

Liang Yi buried it, suddenly stopped, bent down and picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, half yellow and half green, shaped like a palm.

"Xianggong?" The pro-soldier team asked suspiciously.

Liang Yibury carefully tucked the leaves into his sleeves, looked up at the plane trees that were still thick green in the palace, and said: "Autumn has arrived." ”
