Zhang Qi shook the snow off his body, and said at the door: "The enemy is coming quickly, and the rangers have arrived on the outskirts of Gyeongju City. ”

"Wouldn't that be just right?" Wang Ju asked strangely.

This is expected, why did Zhang Ji leave Gyeongju City again at this time? You must know that it will be dangerous to leave Gyeongju Castle now, and you may encounter enemy rangers on the way.

"Zi'an, that Renduo Lingding forcibly arrested seventeen people from the rear, these people are all from the steward of the Xia merchant family in Tongsai Sichuan, and he used to have dealings with many private salt merchants in Gyeongju City because of private salt. Indo had them sneak into the outskirts of Gyeongju last night, and before the enemy arrived in the morning, I opened the gates of the city as usual and let the people go out to gather wood, and the seventeen stewards took the opportunity to sneak into the city. ”

There's no way to stop this.

Although some time ago, when the Xia army had not arrived, the Gyeongju government repeatedly ordered that all the forts and the people in the suburbs in the front should withdraw from Gyeongju, and the people in the suburbs in the rear should also withdraw to the rear WWW.UUXS.CC. But it can't be enforced.

In particular, Gyeongju City is home to many large households, that is, large landlords, who have many tenant farmers in their families, and some people who have many relatives and friends in the suburbs. So these people poured into Gyeongju City together.

So now Gyeongju City is mixed with dragons and snakes, not to mention the influx of seventeen strange faces, even one hundred and seventy strange faces, and the government cannot [visit.

However, some businessmen still know the importance of the matter, and we used to trade as transactions, so we can't sit back and watch you invade Gyeongju and let Gyeongju become the territory of Western Xia. Under the governance of Western Xia, will everyone have a good life?

So these stewards came to visit beforehand. Let them be arrested later. Handed over to the government.

But it's a bit complicated. Those clumsy stewards will definitely seek death first, but there are very few of them who are very smart, and they may not be able to find out right away.

Actually, you don't need to ask.

Li Fugui had not left when Zhang Ji handed over, Li Fugui cooperated with Wang Ju, he went to Dashun City to inspect and inspect, and handed over the government affairs to Zhang Ji to deal with, and Zhang Ji took over the military and political affairs of Gyeongju smoothly. Then Li Fugui left Dashun City. Also immediately left Gyeongju.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention, anyway, Zhang Kai's government affairs were handled well, so they didn't care where Li Fugui went. However, hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops invaded, and Li Fugui still did not appear, and gradually there were some discussions in the market.

Of course, several officials in Gyeongju knew, but for the sake of secrecy, the officials did not know and could not inform them, and these officials were all from wealthy local families. Some of the officials themselves are not clear with the Western Xia side, so they can't be said.

This is the case in Gyeongju today. Zhizhou is gone, so how can the people not be nervous?

So if you are a little shrewd, you don't need to visit the door, you can immediately inquire that Li Fugui is most likely not in Gyeongju, or as rumors circulate, it is said that Li Fugui was killed, but the Xixia side is clear, how could Li Fugui be killed?

Zhang Ji felt faintly uneasy.

Gyeongju is too chaotic, otherwise it doesn't matter if these seventeen people are found. If you can't find it, or the city will be closed tomorrow, that's not okay, maybe before the city gate is closed, there will be spies who bring the news back. After Zhang Qi learned about it, he felt a little tricky, so he rode to Ningzhou again.

Wang Ju scratched his head and said, "It's really not good, brother hostage, let's start." ”

"Not waiting?"

From the beginning, it has always been for a "release", and now hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops have been released together and put in the mouth of this huge python. Then you can swallow it.

However, we still have to wait, as soon as we wait for reinforcements from Chang'an, the vanguard will arrive tomorrow, and the army behind it is estimated that it will not arrive in Ningzhou until the day after tomorrow.

Second-class Miao Professor, by the way, I have to ask Dong Yu about the news there, so that a detailed plan for the next step can be formulated. So Wang Ju ordered Yao Lin to take the risk and delay it for an extra day.

Wang Ju said in a deep voice: "It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, Ren Duo Ling Ding is suspicious, in case he sends three or five thousand soldiers to retreat, Gao Min's side will be in danger." Moreover, they are now divided into three armies, and their troops are sufficient, and they have divided three or five thousand soldiers and horses, as if they had not divided their troops. ”

Zhang Qi was amused and speechless, such a big country could actually send 300,000 troops.

"Also, it's a nice day."

The weather was bad with small snowflakes. But for Wang Ju, this is simply too good weather.

Zhang Qi nodded heavily, war, the time and place are favorable, and the weather is also a major factor. Like the sunny weather a few days ago, it actually brought some trouble to the Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the good moonlight, Wei Qingzong would not have died heroically.

"Also, look at this snow," Wang Ju reached out and picked up a few snowflakes from the air, and the crystal clear snowflakes met the heat of his palm, quickly turned into water droplets, and shook in the palm of his hand.

This is also the weather, although Gyeongju is still very cold, but it is also the second half of the first month, and it is not long before this cold weather. The actual temperature is slowly rising, otherwise it is not water and snow, but dry snow. But many battle plans are based on this cold weather. So it can't be delayed.

Of course, as soon as this is advanced, the whole thing will be advanced.

Wang Ju first asked the herald to go to Slender Waist City immediately, and asked Zhou Yongqing to immediately send troops from Slender Waist City.

Then he wrote a letter, asking Han Jiang and Guo Kui to send troops. And in the letter again made a request. If the battle comes, let Yang Wenguang, the governor of Juzhou, lead several battalions of officers and soldiers to come to the aid of the battle.

Of course, Yang Wenguang is by no means as magical as commenting on the Yang generals, and even inferior to Miao to Liu Changzuo, but he is also a general at the level of Eryao Yanda, and has served as the governor of Yanzhou for nearly a year, so he should be familiar with the officers and soldiers of Yanzhou.

will be a famous general, and he is familiar with his soldiers, Wang Ju will not let go. And the traffic is also convenient, Wang Ju used to know Huachi County and deliberately built the Zhifeng Road, from Juzhou to Zhiluo County, and then to Fengchuan is a flat avenue, even if it is an infantry, it can quickly reach Fengchuan and put it into the battlefield.

After the letter was written, someone was immediately sent to Yanzhou on a fast horse.

Zhang Qi said: "Time is very tight. ”

As a result, there were only a few hours left for the Yanzhou side to gather troops.

"The original plan was for them to send troops tomorrow, but it was a day earlier. If the second public has a heart. About the army was also assembled. If it is unintentional. Even tomorrow, not many troops will be gathered to support them. Wang Ju said lightly.

However, he believes that neither Han Jiang nor Guo Kui are like Sima Guang after all. Besides, Han Jiang is not evil to himself, and Guo Kui has no holiday with himself. But this is a real feat, and the risk doesn't seem to be great, so I won't make it difficult for myself.

In fact, as Wang Ju expected, the two were not embarrassed, and they also transferred a famous general that Wang Ju did not expect in this battle, and this famous general is still Wang Ju's hometown. It's just a Fan person.

It's just that Han Jiang saw that Wang Ju asked Yang Wenguang for support in the letter, and sneered: "This little Wang Ju has a really good appetite, and the soldiers of Yanzhou will serve him soon." ”

However, whether Yang Guangwen also wants to support it depends on the outcome of tomorrow's battle.

Of course, I have to continue to give orders, four orders, and send them to Liu Changzuo, Liu Yan, Zhao Yuqing and Gao Min respectively.

One by one, the heralds rode away.

Only then did Wang Ju say: "Brother Qianfu, in this way, if the enemy sends troops to besiege Gyeongju. Let them besiege. If the enemy has not yet sent troops to Gyeongju tomorrow morning, you can also send cavalry to expel the enemy's rangers. Then continue to let the people out of the city to collect wood, but slightly limit the time and scope of woodpicking. And then tomorrow night I will immediately send troops. ”

"Zi'an wants to ......"

"What do you think?"

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, and then rode back.

This was not for the sake of safety, but to go back and deliberately arrange for a few Western Xia spies to escape from Gyeongju City. Otherwise, if the seventeen spies were all stupid and fell into the legal net one by one, Wang Ju's arrangement would be a waste of expression.

Zhang Ji thought about it a lot, and when he returned to Gyeongju City, Induo Lingding had already gotten some news.

"Lee Fu-gyu is not in Gyeongju?"

"General, he has been missing for many days, and there are rumors in Gyeongju City at this time."

"Don't have a lot of troops?"

"Yes, there are only four or five battalions of officers and soldiers, and a small number of strongmen, and there are many people in the city who have fled from outside the city, and the law and order are chaotic."

"Oops." Ren Duo Ding patted his head, if he had sent someone to Gyeongju to find out the news earlier, and then divided his troops to Gyeongju, instead of storming Slush Castle and plotting against Huanju, if he was lucky, wouldn't he have made a miraculous achievement?

However, he smiled bitterly, if Fort Merry was not taken, the three armies would not be able to meet, how could he think of Gyeongju City at that time? But what now? If the troops are divided again, then they will have to ask Liang Yibury for reinforcements, otherwise the troops in their hands will be tight. Don't forget, whether it is Huai'an Town or Wujiao Town, there is a relatively large number of Song troops.

He thought about it for a while, and finally wrote to Liang Yiburi, asking him to send reinforcements again. On this day, Liang Yibu continued to let Li Sangou toss the immortals to death. But business is important, he thought about it, and agreed to Renduo Lingding's request.

Although the Song people fought very obscenely in the battle of Rouyuanzhai, it also completely exposed the fact that Western Xia was not good at attacking cities.

Anyway, I have enough troops in my hands, so I might as well cast a wide net, and I can't tell where I can catch a big fish.

However, he also felt strange: "Li Fugui is not in Gyeongju, could it be that the Song Dynasty acquiesced to a general commander?" ”

"About Li Fugui was transferred, and the new Zhiju heard that our army was coming, and he didn't dare to come to hand it over, so the affairs of Gyeongju had to be commanded by the general judge. But that general judgment should not be underestimated, I heard that he served as the judge of Gyeongju in the last battle of Dashun City, and he was very important to Cai Ting. Song Ji said on the side.

"That is, he understands military affairs better than Li Fugui."

"It should be counted, but he is a general judgment after all, if there is no Yan zhòng defeat in Gyeongju, there may be a little prestige to command the generals remotely. In the event of a heavy defeat, Gyeongju will immediately become a mass of loose sand...... In this case, General, why don't you let me lead a team of soldiers and horses to Gyeongju immediately. ”

"You're going to Gyeongju?"

"Please believe me, General." The reason why Song Ji made this request was that he had attacked the city in the past few days, buried Liang Yi in Mao, and lost his temper at every turn, so it was better to leave Liang Yi and bury him. The second is that he can "glorify his ancestors" and return to the land of the Song Dynasty. The third is to see if you can pick up a bargain, if you win, it will be his credit, and if you fail, it will be a mistake in Renduo's intelligence.

Song Ji persuaded for a long time, Liang Yi buried and finally agreed, there is a straight road from Rouyuan Village to Gyeongju City, now Renduo Lingding's soldiers have arrived at Yele Town, Song Ji's Xia army is not a lonely army, so Song Ji immediately counted the soldiers and horses, and left Rouyuan Village, but if you want to reach Gyeongju City, you have to bring some materials and grain and grass, the speed is not fast, at least tomorrow noon can arrive.

After Song Ji left, the sky gradually darkened.

Liang Yi buried the three armies and continued to pile up the mountain at night, and he was consumed with Rouyuan Village.

However, the offensive on Dudola's side slowed down, and the attack for three consecutive days caused heavy casualties among his men, and the more he attacked, the more uneasy he became, so he deliberately slowed down the offensive.

But in the rear of Liyuan Fort, an army quietly began to move.

Du Duo Lazhen was a little disheartened, and he couldn't even capture Liyuan Fort, let alone Huachi Town, and Liu Changzuo's army eased up, and successively sent a large number of scout troops to clear the Western Xia rangers in the field, so Du Dola deliberately withdrew the scouts in front from today.

That's what you want.

Liu Yu quietly led his subordinates to leave Huachi Town, and quietly touched Pingrong Town, where snowflakes were drifting in the sky, and almost all the villages in the wild were evacuated, so no one paid attention to this trip. At the same time, there is a larger army in the north that is also quietly marching, led by Gao Yongneng, the general required by Wang Ju, and at the same time, there is also a tiger general who Wang Ju neglected, the patrol of the security army, and the security guard, the general Liu Shaoneng, and Wang Ju's familiar old friend Gui Niang Lang buried.

Liu Yu came to Pingrong Town with the three armies, and Zhao Yuqing also led the three armies out of Pingrong Town. The reason why Zhao Yuqing was able to escape after being defeated by the Western Xia people was because he was extremely familiar with the terrain around Dashun City, Jintang City, White Leopard City and Pingrong Town. So Wang Ju arranged him to Pingrong Town, not because of his military talent, let alone because he could fight, in fact, he was far inferior to his dead son Zhao Ming. What Wang Ju values is this familiar terrain.

The two armies met and continued their arduous march along the mountain road.

On the other hand, Han Jiang and Guo Kui use Liu Shaoneng for the same reason, Liu Shaoneng is far more capable than Zhao Yuqing, but Han Guo and the others don't know where, the reason why they use Liu Shaoneng is also because he is familiar with the terrain. But in addition to Liu Shaoneng, there are two people in this line, one is what Wang Ju likes, and the other is what Wang Juji doesn't like.

And these two people are far more important than Liu Shaoneng in Han Jiang's heart. Therefore, with Liu Shaoneng, with the same nature as Wang Ju with Zhao Yuqing, that is, a super guide.

After all, the road taken by the army of Yanzhou was as rugged as the road taken by Liu Zhao's army, almost all of them were mountain trails, and it was on this snowflake night. However, the goal of the two armies is the same, that is, to make trouble in the fort...... (To be continued......) R1292
