Just as Tong Guan was thinking about how to solve Gao Qiu, a bunch of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then he saw Wang Bing and Li Yongqi coming in from outside in a hurry.

"Meet Shuai Xuan, Shuai Si."

The two saluted Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. Now Gao Xuan is on the top and Tong Shuai is on the top. However, Gao Qiu, who is getting bigger and bigger, feels like walking on thin ice.

Gao Taiwei knew the truth that the citron was rotten first! And he was now a citron. If Su Dongpo had not been breathing a sigh of relief, he would have been a thorn in the eyes of all civil servants in the Song Dynasty (maybe there were a few exceptions).

In just a few years, he has risen to the position of the prime minister through military merits. Who dares to say that the person who sings outside Donghua Gate is a hero?

Moreover, Gao Qiu offended more than that. His, or to be precise, was the military command of the treacherous villain Wu Haogu, even more offensive. Gao Qiu was not confused. How could he not know that this military command was a shrinking Privy Council? However, most of the officials in charge of the 12th Room of the Privy Council were from outside the Donghua Gate, and they were not sure about pretending to understand. Otherwise, the Song Dynasty had such strong financial and human resources, how could it always suffer from the Khitan and Dangxiang?

It would be fine if they could not defeat Yuan Hao in the early years, but they were all cruel people, and it was normal for them to defeat him. But now who are the Dangxiang and Khitans in power? They are all extremely corrupt, they are busy making money and fighting infighting, and they don’t even have good internal strife... Yelu Hongji, a guy who didn’t check his fertility before killing his wife and children, almost made him lose his son and grandson! After Yelu Yanxi came to power, he didn’t do anything serious, so he was busy avenging me. As a result, he avenged several years of revenge and did not kill many enemies. Instead, it accelerated the prosperity of Jiehe Market and made the confidant responsible for revenge become a monetary! Even if he couldn’t even avenge, he could still fight?

Therefore, the military command of Wu Haogu will definitely threaten the future of a group of civil servants in the Privy Council in the future... This is a territorial dispute in the officialdom! The 12th House of the Privy Council must let such military opportunities come.

"What's wrong?"

When Tong Guan saw Gao Qiu, he was a little distraught, so he could only ask himself.

"Bi Shuaisi," Wang Bing said, "Hexi Road sent a silver medal army to hand over the emergency... Qin Wangchuan sent another dead soldiers to break out, saying that the military rations were about to be exhausted and it was difficult to maintain. If we did not send troops, the 40,000 troops would be wiped out!"

"Hmph," Gao Qiu snorted coldly, "When Renduo Baozhong surrendered last year, if it weren't for Zhong Fu stopping him, Qin Wangchuan would have taken it long ago, and the millions of stones of grain stored in Renshou Mountain City were ours... Now the Western thieves might have moved westward! Now it's a bloody battle, and it's a front line of life and death!"

"Shi Yan," Tong Guan glanced at Gao Qiu, "Let's send troops! You can't see Qin Wangchuan's 40,000 troops are gone..."

In fact, it doesn't matter to Gao Qiu. If Qin Wangchuan is defeated, he will just go astray. Even if he is demoted, he will always be back in the future. It is better than going on the road to the suspect who is planning to usurp the throne like this!

"Can you send troops?" Gao Qiu asked.

He must not say it openly, especially in front of Tong Guan. So he looked at his confidant Li Yongqi so smart that he immediately realized what Gao Qiu meant. Taiwei Gao must have wanted to win the first merit of defeating the Western thieves! Only with the first merit can he be aware of the affairs of the Privy Council, and only with these opportunities can they become successful.

"Yes!" Li Yongqi said firmly, "The sixty thousand army is ready to go, and it can be completed in four days for 200 miles..."

"Four days?" Tong Guan asked, "Can you hurry up?"

"No," said Li Yongqi. "It's summer now. In the desert, people will have to die of sunbathing during the day. They can only march at night and escape the heat during the day... It's already very fast to walk 200 miles in four nights."

Desert marching is really difficult to defeat these military opportunities, because some of them have been hard scouts on the northwest border and know how to pass through the desert.

You cannot march during the day when you pass the desert in summer, and you will be dried. You can only walk at night and hide in the tent to rest during the day.

In addition, the troops also need a large number of people to carry water. Not only do people have to drink water, but horses also have to drink water! The people who carry water must return in batches. They must not follow the army, because they themselves will consume precious drinking water.

After returning, these civilians had to bring cheap "sauce" into the desert for the second time, and set up "wine storage spots" at designated locations to provide drinking for the returning army...

In short, the 60,000 army, as well as the at least 50,000 civilians and soldiers accompanying each other, must act strictly in accordance with the plan to save drinking water and physical strength.

This is the only way to ensure that the army can still have strong combat power after crossing the Gobi Desert! And it is true that it can return after victory, and it has to come back after fighting. Attacking Xingqing Prefecture is not in the plan of military command, because those military opportunities all know that the Western thieves are very good at strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and it is unlikely that the Song army will have the opportunity to cross the river to attack Xingqing Prefecture.

The army has the ability to surpass the desert, which is actually a powerful combat power, and it will also make it difficult for the rulers of Xixia to rest.

Because the only barrier in Xingling area of ​​the heart of Xixia is not the vast desert...

...

The Yellow River flows day and night.

The summer sun shines on both sides of the Yellow River near Xingqing Prefecture, and is peaceful. Under this scene, no one would have thought that perhaps a bloody battle would break out here in a few days!

Qianshun, the Wuzun of Dabai Gaoguo, stood on the lookout tower in his army camp, quietly looking at the opposite bank, the surging Yellow River, and the floating bridge just built on the river.

Of course he knew the news that the Song army gathered in Baichi City, Yanzhou... This is a matter of life-and-life ties, how could he not know?

Not only did he know, but he also made a plan to attack the Song army with his younger brother Cha!

Even the invincible Taiwei Gao could not make the Hanhai Desert turn into a smooth journey for the army to come and go, right? Although after occupying the Baichi Oasis, Gao Qiu's army only needed to travel 200 miles in the desert to advance to the edge of the Yellow River.

But these 200 miles are very difficult to leave! It is very likely to ruin Gao Qiu and his army!

And Dabai Gaoguo was reborn as a result!

As long as Gao Qiu, who came from across the desert and defeated the 50,000 Song army from Qin Wangchuan (actually only 40,000), Qianshun will be able to win the glorious victory of his grandmother, Queen Mother Liang in the past.

If the army is defeated, then the Dabai Gao Kingdom will only be left to survive and lose Xingqing Prefecture. Xingqing Prefecture is not on the east bank of the Yellow River, but on the west bank of the Yellow River. With this rushing river protection, there will be no loss for the time being.

Moreover, Ganshun was ready to lose the battle (after all, the person who came was Taiwei Gao), and the east bank of the Yellow River near Xingqing Mansion had been cleared. All the trees were cut down, all the ships were towed to the west bank, and all the residents of the villages along the coast were moved.

Unless the Song army could use inflatable sheepskin pockets to cross the river like the herdsmen on the grassland, they would never be able to cross the river and attack Xingqing Prefecture after several pontoon bridges were burned.

In addition to making the worst plans, Ganshun also made every effort to mobilize the army. He transferred 5,000 of the 10,000 garrison troops left by Lingzhou to Xingqing Prefecture, plus 5,000 Six-Directors who guarded the palace, and 2,500 Iron Harriers drawn from Qin Wangchuan, a total of 12,500 elite cavalrymen.

In addition, he mobilized 12,000 Bu Bazi and 6,000 Clashing Men. He gathered more than 30,000 soldiers in total! If the subordinate army was included, a total of 80,000 troops were assembled.

At the same time, Gan Shun also asked for help from the "Khitan father" and invited all the 30,000 Khitan soldiers from Yelu Otra to Xingqing Prefecture. By then, the 80,000 Dabai Gao Kingdom's army plus 30,000 Liao soldiers, a total of 110,000 troops!

The success and the defeat of the enemy will be here to fight!

...

"The Khitans are gone? Are you sure? Are you really gone, or are you a fake shot?"

At this time, Zhong Fu's eyes were full of light and he stared at Zhao Baozhong's face.

Zhao Baozhong was the original Renduo Baozhong. He now granted the national surname and was a glorious Zhao family. There are quite a few Zhao family in the Hehuang area! Many of the descendants of Yangsiluo's surname are Zhao.

In addition to his surname Zhao, Renduo Baozhong was also sent by the leader of the Shanzhou Federation and the commander of the Shanzhou affairs, as well as the official of the Baoshun Army's Jiedushi. Moreover, Zhao Ji also gave a lot of rewards, which was really awesome!

Therefore, Zhao Baozhong could not be ambiguous at the critical moment, and brought two thousand cavalry from Qingtang City to Shuibo City. Moreover, the two thousand people he brought were all good players of the Qingtang Zhao family (that is, Renduo family). Many people had worked in the Zhuoluo Army Division of the Right Announcement. These people were very familiar with the terrain of Karochuan and Qinwangchuan.

Therefore, Zhong Fu asked Zhao Baozhong to send someone to Qin Wangchuan to investigate the situation, and today it was really good news.

The Khitans have withdrawn from around Qin Wangchuan!

"Everything is gone!" Zhao Baozhong said, "It's not wrong... The people sent by the officials were so smart. They sneaked into the Western thieves camp of King Qin, and they all found out clearly.

The Khitan army left three days ago and went to Xingqing Prefecture."

"Go to Xingqing Mansion?" Zhong Fu frowned, "That's..."

Needless to say, I must go to fight against the Shuofang Mansion soldiers led by Gao Qiu!

That's good! Zhong Fu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Those Khitan soldiers are not easy to deal with! There are also a large number of people, and there are tens of thousands of people. They want to stay in Qin Wangchuan. It would be too good to see if Wang Shunchen and Liu Fa's little soldiers were gone, otherwise Zhong Fu would have sent them to Qin Wangchuan to rescue the siege.

"Okay!" Zhong Fu took a breath, "Tell me the generals of my official and call them together!"
Chapter completed!
