After Wei Mingcha entered Zhuoluo City, he did not immediately take out the wine fairy and Renduo Baozhong he brought from Kaifeng Prefecture to drink, but went directly to the hall of the Military Supervisor Department of the Right Chamber.

Now he and Renduo Baozhong have some differences. If he doesn't bridge it first, he doesn't have the heart to drink.

He knew very well about Renduo Baozhong's ability to defeat the war and the weak combat power of the Right Xiang Army. Even without the more than 10,000 "Song Dynasty martial soldiers" from Kaifeng Prefecture, Renduo Baozhong and the Right Xiang Army could not defeat it by relying on the original Fan Han troops on Xihe Road alone.

As for the fool, Xisheluosa, the prince of the Western vassal state, Chage had nothing to say. Tsongkha Tubo was already like this, and he also provoked a civil war with Dobaro. Now the people of Tsongkha Tubo are separated and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, just waiting for the country to be destroyed.

In this regard, Xixia wanted to save him! Because the Right Xiang Army could not defeat the Xining Army of Song State, the last time the Right Xiang Army defeated the Xining Army in a big battle, Brother Wei Mingcha had not yet been born! The troops that had not won many wars for so many years can still fight flowers now?

It is unrealistic to draw large troops from Lingzhou and Wudinghe areas on the eastern front, because after the Song army basically controlled the Hengshan line, Wudinghe areas and Lingzhou (Xipingfu) had lost their protection and could be attacked by the Song army at any time.

Moreover, the Xixia army arranged in the Wuding River and Lingzhou must not be able to defeat the Song army in front of us. It was only because the Song army had a high logistical pressure and the strong castle that the Xixia army defended was relatively strong, so it could barely support the Xixia army, which had not paid much attention to building castles after losing Hengshan-Tiandu Mountain. The Xixia, which had not paid much attention to building castles, had no choice but to learn from the Song Dynasty to build the city walls, so it could temporarily withstand the pressure of the Song State. But if the main force was pulled away from the Wuding River and Lingzhou, then once these two places were attacked, the Dabai Gao State would be in danger.

So Wei Mingcha can only cook one meal without rice now, and you can't even think about the decisive battle with the Song army on the Western Front.

"The Song army is very aggressive. Our army is now weak and cannot be defeated, so we can only take advantage of our wisdom."

Renduobaozhong said: "What the king said is very true, and the last general is planning a method of wisdom. According to the detailed report, the Song army is currently transporting food, grass and supplies through water routes and Jingyu Pass. I want to prepare to divide the troops into two groups of north and south to attack Huangzhong. But we just mobilized our troops and secretly entered Huangzhong, and joined forces with Doroba to defeat the enemy along the way."

Renduo Baozhong's plan is not without feasibility, but Cha Ge knew that Baozhong would not win. Because the Right Xiang Army could not mobilize too many troops to sneak into Huangzhong. After all, the area of ​​Zhuoluo City still needs to be heavily guarded! If the main force of the Right Xiang Army was dispatched, Zhuoluo City might be attacked by the Song army in Lanzhou.

Once Zhuoluo City falls, the Song army may cut Xixia into two sections in half! By then, the gains and losses of Qingtang City are irrelevant at all. Xixia even had to give up the Wuding River area to mobilize troops to stabilize the situation of the Hexi Corridor.

Once the Wudinghe area falls into the hands of the Song army, the Song army will have an additional land for farming, which can greatly alleviate the logistical pressure. In this way, Xingqing Prefecture and Lingzhou will definitely be attacked in a few years, and Qin Wangchuan in Hexi will most likely be attacked at the same time.

By then, Xixia would have to make a choice between the whole country's migration to the west and the adventure of the death war! As long as one of Lingzhou, Xingzhou and Qin Wangchuan was lost, Xixia would be in danger of collapse.

Therefore, the main force of Zhuoluo City cannot move! The main force of the Right Fang Army does not move, and it depends on a partial army of more than 10,000 people. If the Xixia army is defeated in Huangzhong, it would be better not to go!

Because the disastrous defeat of the Xixia division in Huangzhong would greatly shake the prestige of Xixia among the Hehuang Tubo tribes. Once the prestige is lost, the Hehuang Tubo tribes will no longer expect Xixia's aid, and they may not resist after the Song army occupied Huangzhou, Guzhou and Shanzhou.

After the Song army captured Huangzhou, Guzhou and Shanzhou, it incited the Tubo tribes to resist and drag the Song army into the quagmire for consumption. This is Wei Ming Cha Ge's brilliant plan!

Thinking of this, Wei Mingcha Ge had to shake his head gently: "The commander, what I mean is that it is better to let the Song army enter Qingtang..."

"Let the Song army enter Qingtang?"

"Yes!" Cha Ge said, "Qingtang is four hundred miles away from Lanzhou, all of which are mountain roads. The Song army cannot transport grain from Lanzhou to Qingtang, and must eat in Qingtang. Moreover, the Song army's Xihe soldiers use foreign troops, although they are good at fighting, but their discipline is extremely poor. Once they occupy Shanzhou, they will inevitably plunder, so the Qingtang vassal tribes will inevitably rebel again. As long as we provide support, we can make the Song army deeply trapped."

"But the Song army will sooner or later suppress the vassal divisions!" Renduo Baozhong shook his head, "At that time, the troops of Shanzhou, Huangzhou and Guzhou will be used by the Song State. The Song army will even get the dragon stallion from Qingtang!"

"Tongjun," Brother Cha thought for a while, "What are you going to do?"

"Send troops to Huangzhong, join Doroba, Xisheluosa's army to meet the elite troops from Kaifeng from Song State!"

"Not appropriate, not appropriate." Cha Ge shook his head repeatedly.

"King," Renduo Baozhong was very determined to fight. "The subordinates are willing to issue military orders. As long as there are 10,000 troops, it is enough to destroy the elite Kaifeng of the Song army!"

"No, no, too risky"

...

In late June, when summer was approaching its end, Wu Haowen followed the Taoxi Martial Arts and Pacification Envoy Wang Hou, the Taoxi Army Tong Guan and others to arrive at Anxiang Pass on the bank of the Yellow River.

He and Wang Hou and Tong Guan arrived at Anxiangguan by boat from the Yellow River waterway. They also arrived with them, including the 8,000 elite imperial guards led by Gao Qiu and Wang Bing.

Long before they arrived, the Fanhan troops in Hezhou area were mobilized. An army of 15,000 people had already set up camp in front of Anxiang Pass.

Unlike the Song army's forces on the eastern front of the Song Xia battlefield, the Song army on the Xihe Road on the western front were mainly foreign soldiers, that is, soldiers and generals summoned from the Qiang tribes who surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

These soldiers were not hired by the Song Dynasty as personal identities, but tribal soldiers, following the leaders to participate in the war. Not only did they have considerable combat effectiveness, but they also had low cost of use and did not require daily maintenance. The weapons and horses were also provided by the tribe. Therefore, the barren states such as Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and Taozhou can mobilize an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people at any time.

This time, the scale of the Xining Army's troops sent reached 50,000! Among them, 42,000 Han soldiers and generals on Xining Road, and 8,000 were imperial guards transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture.

In order to speed up the marching, Zhang Shuye, who was in charge of logistics, did not summon the civilians, but mobilized a large number of pack horse carts. After two months of food, there would be auxiliary soldiers and pack horse carts to advance with the army.

When the food is finished, you have to use the method of conquering people with virtue to eat the Tubo tribe. From Lanzhou to Qingtang City, there are hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads. It is basically impossible to rely on traffic on the road to maintain logistics.

However, this cannot be effective not only for the Song Dynasty, but also for the Western Xia army in Zhuoluo City. Therefore, the gains and losses of the three states of Huang, Shan and Kuo are dependent on whether they can gain allegiance from the Tubo tribes.

"Please, do you want to bring more silk and copper coins on the road?" Wu Haowen, who was the first time to do a chance, is not only uneasy, but also a little helpless. He doesn't know what suggestions to make, but he thinks of bringing more money along the way.

After hearing Wu Haowen's words, Wang Hou laughed and thought to himself: I am worthy of being the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and I know how to bring money.

"I brought a lot of it," Wang Hou smiled, "I can keep the soldiers fighting hard."

"Do you want to bring some silk and copper to buy the vassal states?"

"No need," Wang Hou shook his head, "The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue. Giving them money is useless. Just be afraid of them if you don't beat them, it's useless to give them no matter how much money you give."

Speaking of this, Wang Hou suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that some people in the court don't understand this principle, thinking that they can win the hearts of vassals with kindness... Wang Huangcheng was wronged by them!"

Some people in the court did not refer to the group of Wu Haowen's father-in-law Han Zhongyan, but were talking about Zeng Bu. Zeng Bu believed that the last rebellion of the vassals was because Wang Shan, a king of Shanzhou (he was the chief general who marched into Hehuang last time) led his troops to plunder the vassals. Therefore, he demoted him to the official position and beheaded Shan to thank him. In the end, he was ordered to be conferred by the Changhua Army, but Wang Shan was unwilling to be humiliated and hanged himself and died.

Wu Haowen knew about this. When Wang Shan was in trouble, he had already become an official, but he didn't think Zeng Bu's handling was inappropriate. In his opinion, the military generals on the front line were sometimes too arrogant...

"Wang Dao, you will know when you arrive in Shanzhou..." Wang Hou paused, "It's getting late now, you can go and settle down early. Tomorrow..."

At this time, footsteps came from behind. Wang Hou turned around and looked, but saw that the person coming was a confidant beside Wang Hou.

The confidant quickly walked to Wang Hou and Wu Haowen, and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Magicide Zhang of Lanzhou has just sent someone to report that King Cha of Jin, who is the Western thief, has arrived in Zhuoluo City and has brought 3,000 iron kites!"

"3000 Iron Harrier?" Wang Hou and Wu Haowen looked at each other, and then said to their confidants: "Please invite officer Tong, Taiwei Gao, and Taiwei Wang to the yamen."

"Here!"

...

"3000 Iron Harrier?"

"Does Brother Cha want to fight us in the Western Fan?"

"What should I do?"

"We must advance immediately..."

Iron Harrier actually has no 3,000, but the detailed works sent by Zhang Shuye are not good at counting. Of course, Brother Cha would not give Song's detailed works a chance to get closer and count slowly, so he misreported the number of Iron Harrier.

3,000 Iron Harrier plus King Cha of Jin, it is obvious that the decisive battle is going to be!

So Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Wang Bing were all a little nervous. They still knew the reputation of Tie Harrier.

However, Wang Hou was not worried about Iron Harrier. Because he knew that Iron Harrier now would not have the courage of the past. If the 4,000 slave soldiers brought by Wang Bing could calm down on the battlefield, it would be enough to destroy Iron Harrier's offensive.
