On the 24th, Xiliang Prefecture...

At two o'clock, Renduobaoguo was awakened by his entourage. The news that Yingya Fort was attacked shocked him. He hurriedly ordered the gathering of troops to kill Yingya Fort directly, and he must guard this important pass.

While washing up, Renduobaoguo thought about the changes in the situation caused by the fall of Yingya Fort, his mood became heavier and heavier, and his thoughts slowly flew to Helan Mountain. Will this sudden change in the Hexi battlefield be helpful to the defense strategy of convincing the emperor and ministers in Xingqing Prefecture to defend Helan Mountain?

Brother Richard's defensive strategy encountered huge resistance in Xingqing Prefecture. Whether it was the powerful and powerful Dangxiang or the Han officials, they almost spoke in unison and firmly opposed it.

First of all, letting the emperor and the court take over the danger of being wiped out by the entire army is simply not feasible. Some ministers even questioned Brother Richard, what is your intention? You left the emperor and the court in Helan Mountain, but you ran to Hexi. Do you want to take the opportunity to usurp the usurpation? The reason why some ministers did not hesitate to provoke conflicts between the monarch and the minister was that they did not want to stay in Helan Mountain, and did not want to gamble with their wealth and life.

Li Hu and Hu Lie Army fought in three battles in extreme difficulties.

The Jurchens were defeated one after another, and the Jin army suffered heavy damage. Bo Jilie Wanyan Yu was killed. The commander of the Eastern Tent Wanyan Zongwang was intensified due to the defeat of the Central Plains, and then died of illness. Yelu Yu, the right chief of the Marshal's Office, was wiped out. After this battle, Li Hu and Hulie's army became famous. It is conceivable that in this case, when Li Hu launched a Western Expedition, how many Dangxiang people could be as calm as Richard, and could also calmly analyze the pros and cons of the enemy and us and come up with correct offensive and defensive strategies?

Fortunately, the emperor Li Qianshun was a good one. He gave Li Cha great trust in the time of national crisis, but the situation was here, and the national strength and military strength of Xixia could not compete with Li Hu at all. When the entire court asked the emperor to retreat to Hexi, could Li Qianshun remain calm?

After discussing with Liang Qishen, Li Anhui, Li Renli, Xue Yuanli and other important officials, the emperor decided to let the prince supervise the country, let Richard assist the prince, and work together to defend Helan Mountain, while the emperor led some civil and military ministers to retreat to Hexi.

Brother Richard is weak and his power is unable to confront the entire court at all. He can only accept this method that seems to be extremely bad in his opinion.

Secondly, the emperor and the court guarded Helan with 100,000 heavy troops against Richard.

Shan also raised objections.

This is a very simple thing. If the emperor and the court want to retreat to Hexi, then the main force of the army will of course also withdraw to Hexi. The Xixia army now has only more than 200,000, which is the largest number of troops that can be gathered on the basis of the whole people being soldiers, but the combat effectiveness is no longer comparable to that in the past. The existence of the army directly determines the survival of the country. As long as the army is present, even if the Dangxiang people are lost in Helan Mountain, they will not be defeated. They can still kill them and take back Helan Mountain, and there is still a chance to turn things around. Therefore, in this regard, Li Qianshun, including Li Qianshun, does not agree with Li Cha Ge's offensive and defensive strategy.

A hundred thousand troops guarded Helan Mountain, which was Richard's defeat of Li Hu. The only way was to defeat Li Hu if this strategy was rejected and the emperor and the main forces of the army retreated to Hexi, which happened to be Li Hu's treacherous plan. Once Helan Mountain was lost, the Dangxiang people would have difficulty in survival in the narrow Hexi, and would inevitably fall into the three-sided siege of the Song Dynasty, Tubo, Caotou Tatar, and Huangtou Uighurs, and the country's fortunes were in danger.

Brother Richard made a decision for this reason. In order to win support, he used all his strength to try to convince the emperor and important officials in the court.

Xingqing Prefecture is caught in a dispute and a power struggle, and various contradictions are also present.

This moment was inspired, but fortunately, Li Hu had not launched an attack yet, and the monarchs and ministers of Xingqing Prefecture still had time to discuss, but the series of troops deployed by Brother Richard was delayed.

Taking the Hexi battlefield as an example, according to Richard's vision, we should mobilize the main force from the Xiping Army and Gansu Army to Xiliang Prefecture and Karochuan as soon as possible, and we should garrison Renduoquan City with heavy troops, firmly suppress the Huli Army from both east and west directions of Qiulongling, prevent Li Hu from attacking Shuofang, and encircle Helan Mountain. However, this deployment was shelved because Xingqing Prefecture's doubts about the entire defense strategy.

The only thing Li Cha did was to send Renduo Baoguo and Li Dingchuan out of Xingqing Prefecture. Renduo Baoguo arrived at Xiliang Prefecture and Li Dingchuan arrived in Tong'an City. These two people supported Richa's defense strategy and had rich combat experience. With them guarding the front line, Richa could at least ensure the safety of Hexi and Shuofang.

Renduobaoguo arrived in Xiliang Prefecture three days ago. With his personal prestige among the Hexi Zhufans, he was trying to persuade Zhufans to support Renduoquan. However, the situation of the war was developing too fast. The Song army actually crossed the snow-capped mountains and entered Hexi. However, Renduobaoguo was not panicked. Judging from his decades of experience in fighting with the Northwest Army, this army was not the main force of the Northwest Army, nor the main attack direction of the Northwest Army. This should have been obtained by the Northwest Army by chance.

It was just an opportunity to break into Hexi recklessly, and it was not worth worrying about.

Several generals hurried into the government office and reported to Renduobaoguo that the army had been assembled, and asked Renduobaoguo to order a quick run to Yingya Castle.

Rendao Baoguo hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Of course, the generals didn't eat and didn't even have time to wash up.

"Eat first, and then talk about it after dinner." Renduo Baoguo invited him warmly, but the generals looked at each other, not knowing what the old coach intended.

"Yingya Castle is eighty miles away from Xiliang Prefecture. Even if you run wildly, you will not have time to rescue him." Renduo Baoguo habitually grabbed the bald man and said lightly, "Since you don't have time to rescue him, don't worry, discuss it slowly and come up with a complete solution to avoid being caught in the ambush of the enemy in a hurry. At present, only 5,000 people in Xiliang Prefecture. Once more than half of the loss, what will I use to guard the city?"

Will you come or not

And rescue? Several generals were secretly surprised. Yingya Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are more than a thousand defenders, so it is not a problem to hold on for a few hours, right? If you rush to help quickly, it is very likely to defend the fortress, but if it is delayed, it will most likely fall. However, no one dares to say this. The situation in Xingqing Prefecture is tense now, and a mistake is made at this time, and the future is difficult to protect. Since Renduo said it is not urgent, the generals are eager to protect the country.

Renduo Baoguo had no intention of eating. He took a moment of perfunctory treatment and then walked into the courtyard, strolling while pondering.

On the 19th, the Northwest Army began to attack Renduoquan. In the early morning of the 24th, Yingya Fort was attacked by a sneak attack, but until now, there was no movement in the direction of Karochuan. No fierce battle occurred in either Zhenwu City or Lanzhou. Why is this? Although Xiliang Prefecture is the key to the entire battle situation, Li Hu's blatant attack on Xiliang Prefecture is obviously inconsistent with common sense. In common sense, if Li Hu's target of attack was Xiliang Prefecture, then the Northwest Army should now attack Karochuan to cover the partial army to attack Liangzhou. How could he hit the key point directly like this?

From the overall situation of the war, if Li Hu wanted to encircle Helan Mountain, he would definitely launch an attack from the eastern front first to lure the main force of the Xia army to the Helan Mountain front, causing the Xia army to be empty on the western front, and then attack Karochuan and cover the partial army to attack Xiliang Prefecture, but now it has gone wrong

Here, the Huli Army on the Eastern Front did not launch an attack, and the main force on the Western Front did not attack Karochuan, but instead sent a partial army to take the lead in attacking Xiliang Prefecture.

What is Li Hu's intention?

Renduobaoguo grabbed the country's heads, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. Brother Richard had previously guessed that Li Hu would use Karochuan as a trap and lure the main force of the Xia army to the front line of Hexi and Shuofang so that the Huli Army could quickly capture Helan Mountain. But now Li Hu attacked Xiliang Prefecture from the beginning, which was equivalent to telling the Xixia people that I would capture Xiliang Prefecture and I would encircle Helan Mountain, which was equivalent to forcing the Xixia people to transfer their troops to Hexi. But the problem is that attacking Xiliang Prefecture from Renduoquan and Daxue Mountain is difficult to move. Even if Li Hu sent the main force over, what should we do if the food and grass weapons? Without the supplement of a large number of food and grass weapons, this army that entered Xiliang Prefecture would be sought to die.

Why did the Song and Xia armies fight for control of Karochuan? This is the reason. Karochuan directly killed Liangzhou and the army advanced from the spacious avenue. This is the only way to attack Hexi. As for the shortcut to Renduoquan, it is only suitable for sneak attacks, but whether the sneak attack can be successful depends on the cooperation of Karochuan battlefield. Without the main force from Karochuan to support the north, the sneak attack will definitely fail.

Li Hu is doing something, he doesn't even have it

What may be successful, why?

Renduo Baoguo couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it anymore. He decided to use Xiliang Prefecture as a trap and lure the enemy into Xiliang Prefecture, and then achieve his two goals. The first goal is of course to help Brother Richard. The Xiliang Prefecture fell and the road to retreat to Hexi was cut off. Whether it was the emperor or the court, it could not evacuate before this road was opened. Since the emperor and the court could not evacuate, then a hundred thousand troops would definitely guard Helan Mountain. In this way, Brother Richard's defense strategy could be implemented smoothly.

Secondly, he had sufficient reasons to pull the main troops of the Xiping Army and the Gansu Army to Xiliang Prefecture in the shortest time. On the one hand, he cut off the connection between Xiliang Prefecture and Renduoquan to ensure that the enemy was encircled and killed at any time, and on the other hand, he gave strong support to the Karochuan battlefield. In other words, even though the court still refused to accept Richard's defense strategy, Renduobaoguo took advantage of the fall of Xiliang Prefecture to cleverly complete the deployment of the troops on the Hexi battlefield.

The darkness was passing quietly, and a ray of dawn suddenly jumped out, and it was dawn.

Renduobaoguo walked into the house and issued an order to several generals. Li Yanchuan, the garrison of Xiliang Prefecture, led two thousand troops to Yingya Fort for rescue. If Yingya Fort lost

If the loss is done, the enemy will be blocked and the Xiliang Prefecture will be withdrawn before dark. Renduobaoguo led 3,000 troops to guard Xiliang Prefecture, and cooperated with the government office to evacuate the people in the city. It is necessary to evacuate all of them before dark.

Li Yanchuan took the order and hurriedly led his army to Yingya Fort.
