Chapter 234: Afraid to fight, back to Xiongzhou
Qin Zhang took leave and returned to Qin Mansion.
When he came to the ancestral hall and lit a stick of incense, Qin Zhang knelt on the cushion, put his hands together and said, "I wish to comfort the ancestors of the Qin family. My Qin family, Qin Guan, was named Yong'an County Duke by the emperor, and the great general of Zhenyuan. The Qin family is already a duke family. This is a great joy for the Qin family. Qin Zhang, the descendant, came to inform his ancestors."
"I would also like to ask the ancestors of the Qin family to bless my son Qin Guan to be safe and safe."
Qin Guan received the news that it was three days later, and it was impossible for an angel to come with an imperial edict, but he just passed the message through Fei Ge to pass on the message.
Qin Guan knew that he had been promoted again.
Promotion is naturally a good thing, and after becoming the Great General of Zhenyuan, Qin Guan also has another advantage, which is that he can promote a group of military generals, which he has always wanted.
Nowadays, there are many people who follow me, and we always have to give them a hope. The most important thing in ancient times was to be nepotist, and our own people naturally need to be well maintained.
Qin Guan wrote a long memorial, starting with Han Yuqing, Han Cheng, Xiong Daxiong's two brothers, Xue Mu, Pan Liang, captains at all levels, commanders, and generals of the personal guards, Qin Guan wrote them all for them.
Two words, you need an official.
Some people say that Han Yuqing and Han Cheng have no credit at all.
Qin Guan is the head coach. He said he would have it. Can his wife and brother-in-law be left behind?
Li Xuan was also surprised to see this list, but he understood very well that this was the normal situation.
Qin Guan's request was quickly approved by the Ministry of War. This was not an important matter. Han Cheng inherited the power of Xin'an Jun and obtained the title of governor. The governor of the State of Great Zhao was not like the Tang Dynasty. He was a member of the local government. The governor of Great Zhao was just a military official, which was a virtual title representing the status of an official.
Han Yuqing was awarded the title of the sixth rank Xuan Zhenglang.
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xue Mu and Pan Liang were awarded the title of Gongwei Lang and were from the seventh rank.
As for the others, Zhong Xunlang, Zhong Yilang, Cheng Zhonglang, and Bao Yilang are all officials from the ninth rank.
As for the rest, it is to step up training and make the Northern Route Army cavalry team form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
At this time, in the Xixia Kingdom, there was also a fierce debate in the court.
The right prime minister Gu Lemao said in a fierce tone, "King, Zhao State dares to invade our country and kill 40,000 cavalry. We must retaliate. I suggest organizing a 100,000 army to declare war directly on Zhao State, and taking the opportunity to seize Zhao State's land."
Gulemao was the main war faction. He had previously persuaded the King of Xixia to send 40,000 troops to seize the land, population and wealth of the Great Zhao Kingdom while the Great Zhao Kingdom was weak.
At this time, the left prime minister Zhang Pu retorted: "Gulemao, you used to incite the king to send troops. Zhang Wenxian's 40,000 army is my most elite cavalry in Xixia, and it was inexplicably gone."
"You also want to organize a large army. Where are you going to draw? Do you want to draw all the available troops in the country to attack Zhao? If you are defeated, if Zhao attacks, how can we defend? If Liao takes the opportunity to invade my Daxia, have you thought about all these?"
Gulemao said angrily: "Don't we take revenge?"
Zhang Pu also said angrily: "Do you want to ruin the fate of Daxia?"
"Now the army of Zhao is all resisting the Liao Kingdom. We sent 100,000 troops over. I don't believe that Zhao can resist." Gulemao said.
"Qin Guan's army is stationed in Hengshan, with a few border troops next to him, so he can gather 70,000 to 80,000 troops." Zhang Pu said.
"Zhao Bing is not our opponent, we can easily defeat them."
"How was Zhang Wenxian's 40,000 troops defeated? It is said that Qin Guan used troops like a god, and you can guarantee that 100,000 troops swept Qin Guan's defensive troops."
Neither of them was convinced by each other. At this time, King Xia Li Dewang spoke, "The two prime ministers don't have to argue anymore, I have made a decision in my heart."
"Although Zhao seems to be in danger under the attack of Liao, in fact, in my opinion, it is mainly caused by the sudden move of Liao and Zhao's response to the disadvantage. Liao seems to be in a strong momentum now, but when Zhao reacts and stabilizes its position, Liao may not be able to do its best to eliminate Zhao. Besides, our country's troops are limited. If all of them are put into war, if there is an accident in the country, there may be a disaster of destruction."
"And if the Liao Kingdom really destroys Zhao, it may not be a blessing for our Daxia. After the Liao Kingdom destroys Zhao, the next one will definitely be our Daxia. The attack on Zhao will be aborted and let the borders look forward to the gateways, so there is no need to mention this matter."
Gulemao felt very sorry for giving up such a good opportunity to expand, but the king had already made the final decision and he could only obey.
The news of the Xixia stopping war was soon spread to Zhao State through a secret passage, and the adults in the Zhao State's court breathed a sigh of relief.
Without one enemy, you can concentrate on dealing with the Liao Kingdom in the future.
A battle between Qin Guan defeated the minds of the people of Xixia. It can be said that it has made outstanding achievements. Now the entire State of Great Zhao knows that Qin Guan’s victory has been spread, and the title of the Great Zhao God of War has also been spread.
The top scholar, Ci Xian, and Da Zhao God of War, these words appear on one person at the same time, which is really shocking.
Everyone thinks that perhaps the saying of the stars descending to earth is true.
As King Li Dewang of the Western Xia analyzed, the Liao Kingdom's brazen invasion of 400,000 troops did indeed mislead the Great Zhao Kingdom. At the beginning, it could not organize a decent defense. The Liao Kingdom was unstoppable. It took Yelu Chongxin less than a month to attack Chuzhou and approach Yangzhou.
The king of the Southern Court, Xiao Chucai, led his troops to occupy the four states in the central northern part, forming his own battle circle.
After a month, Zhao finally reacted.
Cao Bin led 300,000 imperial guards to set up a formation on the border between Chuzhou and Yangzhou, blocking Yelu Chongxin's footsteps. Both sides had already fought tentatively for two games, but are still in the tentative stage.
Li Jilong in the central region gathered 150,000 soldiers to stand on the front line of Zhengzhou and confronted the 150,000 cavalry led by Xiao Chucai. Speaking of which, Li Jilong's situation was much weaker, but Xiao Chucai seemed to have no intention of rushing into the depth, and the two sides confronted each other on the front line of Zhengzhou.
Now the entire battle situation has entered a relatively stable stage.
As for Qin Guan's Northern Army, although he has no opponent now, his responsibility is still heavy. Although there is news that Xixia no longer intends to advance to Da Zhao, who knows if it is a smoke bomb released? He has to be careful of military and national affairs.
Another thing is to defend against the increase in Liao Kingdom.
In fact, according to the information, there are not many soldiers in the Liao Kingdom now, at most only 10,000 yuan. These are the secrets. It can be said that this Liao Kingdom invasion is really a national army, and it is very gambled.
But the grassland people have always been like this.
Because the Liao cavalry was powerful, even if they couldn't beat them, they could still grab a deal. They didn't believe that Zhao could trap their cavalry.
This shocked the Liao Kingdom to destroy Qin Guan’s 30,000 troops.
After half a month of continuous war, the war between the two sides seemed to have come to a standstill, and it was stalemate. At this time, the north had already entered a cold winter. It snowed all night yesterday, and when I woke up in the morning, the world was white.
Qin Guan was wearing a fur coat and creaking sounds on the snow. Li Xuan was squirting and said as he walked: "Master, the weather is too cold. It's not a solution for us to stay in the wild. Several soldiers were frostbite last night."
