Six hundred and sixtieth chapters confidence(1/2)
Weiyuan Fort goes north through Linzhou to Lanzhou, and this road is called Guasha Road.
Along this road, you can connect Bianjing and Lingzhou, with a total of 4,000 miles. Since Tubo captured this place, this road has been around for hundreds of years.
Now Zhang Yue is located in Linzhou. Linzhou was called Didao in ancient times. During the Sui Dynasty, Jincheng County was established, which was under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County (Lanzhou) and Didao County. Later, Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng County, rebelled and occupied Jincheng County, which was later pacified by Li Shimin.
After arriving in Lanzhou, cross the Yellow River and you will reach the Zhuola Army Supervisor in the hinterland of the Western Xia.
Since knowing that Dong Wen had not sent troops, Zhang Yue was nervous about advancing.
In another time and space history, when Han Jiang sent troops to Luowu City, Dong Wen did send troops to support him, and was rewarded by the Song Dynasty.
Although Dong Wen did not do his best at that time, in this time and space, is it because Dong Wen was concerned about Wang Shao's expansion of Weiyuan's business and the number of foreign troops recruited by him, which has dispelled the determination to unite Song and resist Xia and remained neutral and waited and watched?
This is unknown.
The 100,000 troops of the Han Dynasty advanced. Zhang Yue saw that Wang Shao was marching, and he ordered people to hang silver on the trees as targets, so that those who were good at shooting in the army could shoot out from fifty steps. @美\/Shuge* First update~~
Those who shoot the silver will get silver!
After this, all the soldiers in the army were diligent in riding and shooting, and their morale was very strong even when they were marching.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but admire Wang Shao's way of inspiring soldiers.
Wang Shaodan said calmly: "What's the matter? I just copied the old wisdom of the old Taiwei (Zhong Shiheng). He used to guard Qingjian City and came up with this method to be strong in morale. The old Taiwei was the famous general of the world."
But Zhang Yue looked at Wang Shao and admired him even more. Famous generals from ancient times to the present are good at learning and learning from other people's wisdom.
At that time, the imperial court gave Gu Wei only ten commanders, which was enough for almost two or three thousand people.
But Wang Shao recruited 5,000 people, and even the command of 400 cavalry was expanded to 500 by him.
Wang Shao not only overdraws his military pay, but also eats and lives with his soldiers every day. He is really worthy of famous generals!
Unfortunately... it's a pity that Zhang Yue still understands looking at people. Wang Shao has big eyes and small eyes. Most of these people are stubborn and ruthless people.
However, when hiring people, you still have to be the only one who can do it.
In addition to Wang Shao, Zhang Yue looked at Lu Guang, Han Tong, Liu Xishi, and Gao Zunyu, and they were all military supervisors!
At this moment, in Suide City, Zhong Yan killed the cows and sacrificed to the sky, and then led 20,000 Song troops to vow to fight.
Most of the troops and horses in this route were foreign troops, supplemented by the Han army. Because the Western army was scarce, Han Jiang recruited most of the horses along the border to replenish the horses of the Han army in order to fill in the horses along the border. Many Han soldiers were forcibly conquered because of the horses they had been raised for many years, and they all parted in tears. At the same time, they were full of resentment towards Han Jiang.
In addition to the 20,000 Song troops who went to war with Zhong Yan, there were nearly 100,000 civil servants recruited from various states on Fuyan Road.
They dragged various carriages and mule carriages and set out after the army. In addition to transporting supplies, after Han Jiang's plan to capture Luowu City, six cities were also needed to build to protect the grain road in Luowu City.
Nearly 100,000 people said it was civil servants, but most of them were the wing soldiers and village warriors along the border, and less than half were the real people.
At the same time, in order to intercept the Xixia reinforcements from Yinzhou, the Hedong Army was ready.
This is also a carefully planned battle.
Zhong Yan and others also gathered famous generals, such as Zhe Jishi, Gao Yongneng, Yan Da, Zhao Pu, etc. These are all famous figures in the Western Army.
Han Jiang personally went to Suide City to share with Zhong Yanzhan to congratulate him on his victory.
But seeing Zhong Yan humbly take Han Jiang's wine cup and drink it all.
Han Jiang said: "I have ordered the famous general Zhang Shiju of Hedong to lead his army to Yinchuan. If it fails to arrive as scheduled, he will kill Zhang Shiju's head!"
"Thank you, Xuan Shuai, for your planning!"
Han Jiang smiled and said, "There is another thing that I have not told General Zhong yet. I also ordered Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu to join forces with Dong Jin to lead Qingtang Tibet troops from Hehuang to attack the Western thieves..."
When Zhong Ye changed his expression, he laughed loudly.
Zhe Jishi and other deputy generals also laughed, expressing their contempt.
Zhong Yan said disapprovingly: "The Qingtang and Western Fan are simply crisp, and they are not enough to use it. They are not enemies of the Western thieves. Why should we count on them?"
Han Jiang said: "Wang Shao knew military affairs, Zhang Yue was good at planning, Gao Zunyu.
After being a famous general, General Zhong should not be ignored!"
Zhong Yan said: "There are only three cobblers, but they are not as good as Zhuge Liang. I am afraid that they will only make you laugh. Please ask Shuai Xuan to see if I succeed!"
Han Jiang glanced at the murderous 20,000 Song troops on the Suide City School field, and couldn't help but feel confident in Zhong Yan at this moment.
And in the summer of Chongzheng Palace.
The official family hurriedly walked down the stairs.
Privy Councilor Wen Yanbo presented the military information sent by Han Jiang from the northwest to the official family.
"Has Zhong Yan sent troops from Suide City?"
Official asked.@大全\/Shuge* First release update~~
Wen Yanbo said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhong Yan brought 20,000 troops and more than 100,000 civil servants to Luowu City."
"Most of the 20,000 main troops were elite troops recruited by the imperial court from Hengshan for many years. They were very good at fighting. As for more than 100,000 people, they were also brave men from the countryside and soldiers along the border. They distributed countless money and food. After this battle, whether it was victory or defeat, Hedong and Shaanxi would no longer have the strength to use troops against the Western Xia for several years."
Feng Jing, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, said: "Suide is 60 miles away from Luowu City, but before sending troops, Zhao Fu, the judge of Quan Xuanfu, reported that Luowu City is lonely and the grain road is blocked. What should I do if I fight?"
Wen Yanbo and Feng Jing both insisted on opposing the capture of Hengshan this time.
But the government is at a time when it is full of confidence and cannot listen to such words.
The official said: "Wenqing and Feng Qing are all too conservative. Han Jiang can use a surprise attack and use dangerous chess. If he captures Luowu City, Hengshan will be my own. Destroying Xixia is only between the backhand."
"I should praise Han Qing for his courage!"
Wang Anshi immediately left the class and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to appoint Han Jiang as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan to assist him in achieving his achievements in the border affairs."
Wen Yanbo, Feng Jing, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, and Wu Chong were all surprised.
The official looked at Wang Anshi seriously and said, "Would you like Han Jiang to be above you?"
Wang Anshi said seriously: "National affairs are at stake, and there is no distinction between the ministers and the ministers!"
The official said: "Then you are the minister of the Central Secretariat and supervise the national history, so there is no need to refuse."
Wang Anshi really didn't refuse.
However, Wang Anshi took office as the Minister of the Secretariat, who will replace him?
Wen Yanbo said: "I am a scholar of Duanming Palace, Wang Gui."
Immediately the Censor Xie Jingwen came out to oppose: "Wang Gui has only a false reputation, but he is just a false article and cannot be governed."
The official said: "Wang Gui has been a Hanlin bachelor for more than ten years. Besides, no one is in charge of the class now, so it is better to use him."
Because of the official's words, almost everyone laughed at the scene. The official's words may not be malicious, but it sounds like Wang Gui is only worthy of the squad.
Back then, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu did not obey the squad, and were impeached by Wang Tao. Now the squads dare not be lazy. Han Jiang did the previous squad.
Han Jiang left, so Wang Anshi had to reluctantly do it. But Wang Anshi didn't like to do such trivial matters. The government asked Wang Gui to take charge of the squad, which was also a matter of Wang Anshi's work, so that he could better plan military and national affairs for him.
Everyone knew the ambiguity in the official language, but the censor Xue Changchao did not hear it and continued to be honest: "Your Majesty, governing is an important task for the court, so why is it for the escort?"
The official asked: "Who among the two-system ministers is more virtuous than Wang Gui?"
Xue Changchao continued: "I dare not argue, but is Sima Guang not as good as Wang Gui?"
The official family said helplessly: "I was appointed as the deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, but Sima Guang refused. I have done my best to do so, but Sima Guang has defeated me."
Wang Anshi also replied: "Hedong Xuanfu Envoy, Lu Dafang, the head of the people's house, can also be appointed as the emperor to make an imperial edict!"
The official said: "Yes."
Being an official in the last battle is also an inspiration to support the country.
It turns out that important officials such as the Imperial Registration of Edicts will have to go through a long process, but now it is said that they will be sealed.
Speaking of the edicts, the official asked: "Where did the edicts be passed by the edicts?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has already left Suide City before Zhong Yan and advanced from Weiyuan Fort. It's here..." Wen Yanbo reached out to point out to the official family on the map.
The official calculated the date of Zhang Yue's troops by his fingers, and then said in surprise: "It was 20 days ahead of schedule! Was it a partial army? Or was it a suspicious soldier?"
Officials below Wen Yanbo understood Han Jiang’s intention and couldn’t bear to answer the questions from the officials.
.
The inner supervisor on the side said, "Your Majesty reported to Liu Xishi that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao had only 3,000 troops along the way. Although there were 100,000 foreign cavalry units, most of them were old and weak, and even women and children accompanied them. It was said that 100,000 was just a confusing person."
"Liu Xishi also replied in his letter, Wang Shao and Zhang Yue vowed to break Lanzhou and cross the Yellow River north... to repay Your Majesty's kindness for knowing his acquaintance!"
Although Zhang Yue and Zhong Yan say that they are 100,000 people, everyone knows how valuable the 100,000 is.
Moreover, Zhang Yue launched an attack twenty days in advance along the way, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was going deeper alone.
At this time, Xie Jingwen suddenly said: "I once said that Xifan is fragile and not enough to be reborn. Even if there are many people, what's the use?"
At this time, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor Wu Chong came out and said, "Whether the soldiers can be used depends on the grammar, and on the generals!"
Wu Chong said to the official family: "Your Majesty, I have something to do!"
...
In mid-December of the third year of Xining, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's "100,000" troops had crossed the Horse-Zhishan Mountain and arrived at the Wachuanhui, an important town in Xixia.
Liu Xishi looked at the beacon towers built along the hillside along the hillside, rushing straight into the sky. The beacon fire was separated by more than ten miles, and it spread from south to north to the other side of the river.
