Yang Lin frowned and said, "Okay, just a month, even one more day."

Xiao Bao first got up to send Yang Lin away, returned to the Concierge Court, and immediately sent someone to say, "Don't get tired these few days, just wander around in Bianliang City, and inquire about any important news recently, especially the news from the Northwest. "

Chapter 175 Strategizing, Thousands of Miles Away

Zhaode Square, Yang Mansion.

In the study, the good officials with both lamps and swords are just like Chen Ping in the Han Dynasty and Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty, so that I can sleep peacefully in the confinement. "

"The minister also has to meet the Holy Master, and the three lives are lucky."

A pair of monarchs and ministers flattered each other, and Yang Lin continued: "This person is none other than Chen Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to many investigations by the ministers, it is all because Chen Xian did not want to see Tong Guan in command. He once I met with people in Fanlou in private, and said bluntly, "The eunuch is in charge of the army, like a rooster in the morning, which is not good for the country, and I should get rid of it." These are the confessions of Chen Xianfu's subordinates and the witnesses of the restaurant. Please have a look. .”

Zhao Ji trusted Yang Lin very much, and Chen Xian, who never promised to take money from the household department to build a building, had long harbored resentment against him, and said angrily: "Chen Xian is so intentional, his heart can be punished, come here!" Pass down the decree, and Chen Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, will be demoted to be the magistrate of Ezhou, and he will travel immediately without delay."

Yang Lin played the Northwest Battle Report again, bluntly saying that the Western Army has formed an alliance with Tubo, and it only takes a two-pronged approach to completely pacify Xixia.

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard it, and said: "If I can achieve this great feat, I will live up to my father's and brother's ambitions with my martial virtues."

"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Holy Lord, my emperor, descended from the sky, should have swept away the world and swept the eight wastelands, talking about the Xixia, and in the future, the north will attack Youyan, restore the homeland, rein in the horse Yanran, and go straight to the Yellow Dragon, so that it is worthy of your majesty's sage. .

In order to come earlier from this day, even though the ministers and others are smashed to pieces, they will die before them.Your Majesty, I think that Zhang Shangying, a Hanlin scholar, can make similarities and differences, and he is even called a sage. Because of people's respect, it is just right to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households. "

"That's right."

"Western Xia's grain, grass, military supplies, and siege equipment have long been in disrepair. It is better to transfer the military equipment of the Beijing camp to help them destroy the summer."

"allow."

"Military orders are not in order, people's hearts are not in order, and each is in charge. The reason why the former emperor was defeated in Xingzhou. The minister thought that when he was promoted to Tongguan, he would be the envoy of Xihe Lanhuang and Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy Appeasement System, and he could lead the military and political power in wartime. In order to achieve the order and prohibition, and the scheduling is appropriate."

"All right, all right."

Zhao Ji was coaxed into ecstasy, leaving Yang Lin to accompany him for lunch before letting him out.

Yang Lin didn't stop, and together with Cai Jing dispatched food, grass and military supplies, the long-awaited Western Army will finally receive their first batch of food in three years, and the Northwest War is imminent!

Tong Guan's power also overwhelmed the border families of the Western Army and became the true Northwest King.

The Khitan people were overjoyed when they got the false news, and they sent people back to Beijing to report that there would be no Khitan people to spoil the situation in this war.

At dusk, there was a cloud of black and gold intersecting dragon scales in the sky. Yang Lin looked northward at the sky and murmured: "My surname is Tong, I have arranged everything for you, just please don't let your mother lose the chain." , Kill Xixia for me!"

Chapter 176 The battle clouds are dense, and the stars will shine

In the bitterly cold place in the northwest, at this moment, the weather is already extremely cold.

Light snow that looks like powder is floating in the sky, and in the valleys around Hengshan, there are also a large group of peasants rushing to work here, making siege equipment.

All the people in the Western Army were soldiers, and there were even quite a few half-grown children who ran back and forth across the mountains and plains, doing some small jobs to help their fathers and brothers in the upcoming decisive battle.

In the snowflakes flying all over the sky, a group of people and horses can be seen from a distance, going up the winding mountain road to the hilltop fortress.

These soldiers are all strong and agile men, wearing thick fat jackets and white mink caps.They still look energetic in such weather, and all of them walk vigorously on the mountain road.

Looking at the blood-stained thin rope wrapped around the handles of their sabers and swords around their waists, one can see that these people are wearing the Song style military jackets and the extremely cool white mink hats. The soldiers are all fighting men who rolled out of the pile of dead people.

The leader of the army is covered in weapons and armor, which are much newer than his colleagues. It is Han Shizhong who was selected from the Long Live Battalion.

Po Han Wu Han Shizhong went to Qingxi Mountain alone, captured the rebel Fang La alive and became famous in the first battle. After returning to the Western Army, he was promoted by Tong Guan. Now he is the commander of the Shengjie Army.

Tong Guan got Yang Lin's letter and taught him how to support this soldier well. He said that Yang Lin was his old friend. With his current status and power, Tong Guan was happy to sell Yang Lin a favor.

With a breath of white air, Han Shizhong turned his head and laughed with his own soldiers: "Your mother is thieves, it seems like you want to freeze the hot man into ice. After finishing the fight against the Xia thief, I will definitely be in Xingqing In the imperial palace of Xixia in Funa, find a few noble ladies of the Xia thief to warm up."

Commander Han, who was used to not being jealous of meat and vegetables, and the soldiers who mingle with him, had less scruples in speaking, and laughed at this time: "General Han has a young master to support him. Naturally, there is no taboo. We birds There is no good father for a man, the only good thing is that he can bear hardships and fight, and he can't meet Yang Shaozai who is not greedy for his merits. If he dares to mess around in Xingqing Mansion, he will not be eunuched and enter the palace to serve Zhao Guan's family."

"Shut your beak, talk so vulgar and rude, be careful to cause trouble for me." This place is already close to Tong Guan's big tent, Han Shizhong is careless, for fear that the words of these people making fun of the eunuch will spread to Tong Guan, he himself Just wait for the shoes.Han Shizhong didn't want to cut off his future after finally meeting a noble person to support him.

After scolding, Han Shizhong laughed himself first, unable to hide the excitement on his face, and said: "Looking at this time, it must be a big battle. It should be our good fighter who will become famous and fight for a famous title." day."

Although Han Shizhong joined the army not long ago, he is already a veteran who has been fighting for a long time. His muscles and bones are like iron, and his eyes are sharp. Once some people arrive on the battlefield, it will be difficult to hide his light.

In the meeting of wind and cloud, with the support of nobles, taking fame and fame is like picking something out of a pocket.After thousands of years, how many of these famous generals are there.

He was surrounded by his confidantes, but after all, he was in the camp, so Han Shizhong didn't dare to delay too much, and took people to meet the eunuch Xuanshuai who commanded all the heroes of the Western Army.

The Shengjie army is Tong Guan's main force and the most loyal soldiers along the way. They will definitely play an important role in this final battle against Xia.

Opening the tent door, Tong Guanzheng and Wang Hou stared at a map made of kraft paper. The fire in the tent was burning brightly. After Han Shizhong came in, a feeling of warmth surrounded him, and he felt unspeakably comfortable: "The last general, Han Shizhong, met Tong Shuai." , Wang Shuai!"

Without raising his head, Tong Guan stretched out his hand, and Han Shizhong hurried forward, only to see Tong Guan pointing to the corner of the map mountain and said: "Po Han Wu, this place is a mountain depression in the eastern suburbs of Xingqing Prefecture. Your son, Xia thief is used to this trick, if it is released in a hurry, it will be difficult for our army to attack the city quickly, and the meaning of surprise attack will be lost."

The so-called bumping son is Xixia's cannon fodder army. The main ethnic party of Xixia Kingdom has a relatively small population, so they often recruit soldiers from other ethnic groups or Han nationality to join the Xixia Army.

The son-in-law is generally composed of Han soldiers, who are mainly responsible for charging into the battle as "cannon fodder", which is equivalent to the pronoun of cannon fodder.The source of this army of bumping sons is to select brave and skilled fighters from among the captured Han Chinese to form an army, and let them charge forward, which can reduce the casualties of the party's army.

These people are Han children who are highly suspected. They are often unarmed, ragged, and dejected, but they have to stand at the forefront as human shields.

"Is there any idea that can keep them out of the battlefield." Tong Guan said in a deep voice, it seems that he has been worrying about this matter for not a day or two.

Han Shizhong stared and watched, and the mountains and rivers on the map appeared in his mind like real objects. After thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "Tong Shuai, this place is low-lying and the roads are difficult to walk. It is impossible to mobilize the army like a command. If we first Feint attack, use the light cavalry to lure Xia Bandit to release Mr. Zhuang, and it will be difficult for them to control this group of skirmishers. At that time, our main force will besiege from the other three sides."

When Tong Guan heard this, it was a bit difficult, but it was also a solution.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the troops acting as feints must have strict military discipline and be restrained by the general in order to lead them to the most suitable position.

Tong Guan sighed, and scolded: "Li Yuanhao, the straight mother thief, is indeed a despicable and shameless barbarian that is rare in the ages. He came up with this kind of idea, and abused our good fellows. All surprise attacks will lose their effect, and what you said may be the only way, which is the candidate for a feint attack..."

Han Shizhong clasped his fists and said, "If Tong Shuai trusts you, I will eventually give it a try."

After thinking about it, those arrogant soldiers in the Western Army may not be willing to do this dirty work, and only Han Shizhong, a soldier who has struggled from the bottom, will desperately pursue such military exploits.

After all, if it is a feint attack, there must be insufficient troops. If the Xia army is dispatched, it will be a good thing for the Song army who is attacking the city, but it will be a disaster for the feint attack.

The Xixia cavalry is like a cloud, and once they fight, they can't escape at all.

"You go back and choose as much as you want, and if you succeed in this effort, a certain family will give you a big credit!"

Han Shizhong chuckled, and patted himself on the chest: "Don't worry, Shuai Tong. I don't know how many Xia thieves I killed, but they couldn't hurt my life. Their arrows had eyes, so they avoided me. All the commanders-in-chief are to lead the troops to attack the city with peace of mind, and leave the matter of feigning an attack to me, Han Wu!"

"Tong Shuai, when will we send troops?"

Tong Guan raised his head and said: "When the Tubo people are assembled, this group of Tubo people lost their king at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the extremely tyrannical Tubo has been completely reduced to a fish at the mercy of others. It has been a hundred years since then. Back to their four leaders to form an alliance with our army, I don’t know when we can gather the warriors of the tribe.”
