Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Li Yanxian, a famous anti-golden general in the Song Dynasty, was originally named Li Xiaozhong. He was renamed Li Yanxian because of the impeachment of Li Gang, the governor of Hebei in the first year of Jingkang, and was issued a wanted order by the people under Li Gang.

Li Yanxian has a carefree personality and is a bold and forthright man from the Northwest.

But this person is not only proficient in military affairs, but also he and Wang Zhi, who stood firm in Taiyuan City back then, are also hard bones.

"Report! Li Zhizhou, something is wrong, Xixia people... Xixia people are calling!"

Chapter 350 Li Yanxian's countermeasure! (third change)

"Who did you listen to?" Li Yanxian was still gnawing on meat casually just now, but when he heard about Xixia people, he immediately sat up straight and frowned.

There is a Sichuan-shaped pattern between his brows, and his face is thin. As long as he wrinkles slightly, the Sichuan-shaped pattern will appear, giving people a serious feeling.

"It was said by the defenders who fled from Xi'an Prefecture."

"What about people?"

"outside."

Li Yanxian slapped the meat on the table vigorously, stood up and strode out.

Zhang Jun promoted many newcomers in Shaanxi, the Wu brothers, Liu Qi, and Zhe Yanzhi were all promoted by Zhang Jun.

Of course, Li Yanxian was also included.

There is a reason for him to be stationed in Huizhou.

This man is a firm boner.

In the official history, Zhao Gou's evaluation of Li Yanxian is as follows: "Knowing that Li Yanxian fought with the Jinren and won repeated victories, I am so happy that I can't sleep."

When the sky fell, it was Shanzhou where he was stationed, and he forcibly blocked the mighty Jin army there, which bought Zhang Jun enough time in Shaanxi, and only then did he have a series of strategic buffer spaces in Shaanxi.

"Li Zhizhou! The Xixia people are calling!"

"Who are you?"

"The last commander of Anxi Prefecture, Zhou Zhi!"

"What about the general judgment of Xi'an Prefecture?"

Zhou Zhi said: "Ren Tongpan suddenly disappeared a month ago, Li Bao, Marquis Yu of the Military Capital, took over Xi'an Prefecture, and Marquis Li Duyu died in battle the day before yesterday!"

Only then did Li Yanxian confirm that this person really came from Xi'an Prefecture, and he also confirmed that Xi'an Prefecture might really be attacked by Xixia people.

At this time, the people below ran over again: "Li Zhizhou, something is wrong. A large number of people escaped from Xi'an Prefecture, saying that the Xixia people have captured the city of Xi'an Prefecture!"

Li Yanxian ordered decisively: "If the order is passed on, the Huizhou market will be closed immediately, and all Xixia merchants will be detained. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Shao Long said: "Li Zhizhou, do you want to confirm it again? If it is misrepresented, it will have a great impact, and it is not something you and I can afford!"

"If it's true, those party business trips are all carefully crafted!"

Shao Long said: "What if it's a misrepresentation?"

"If it's a misrepresentation, let's say that there are bandits robbing business travelers recently. We are also worried about their safety, for their own good!"

Shao Long patted his head and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

"Dang Song!"

"The end is here!"

"Quickly organize all the soldiers and horses in Huizhou, increase the defense of the square towers, and send people to let the merchants enter the city quickly!"

"Yes!"

Li Yanxian personally arranged scouts and immediately rushed towards Xi'an Prefecture.

In the afternoon, all the Huizhou shopping malls were closed, and all Xixia merchants who were delivering goods in Huizhou were detained.

The scouts did not return until the morning of the 22nd.

"Report, Xi'an Prefecture has fallen, it is confirmed!"

"Quickly report to the Xizhou Economic Strategy Department that the Xixia people are calling!"

"Yes!"

The messenger is sent out.

At noon, the scouts sent out came back again: "Report, a large number of marching tracks were found fifty miles south of the city. The enemy army is marching westward, and the number of troops is at least tens of thousands."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, Dang Song said: "Li Zhizhou, why didn't the Xixia people attack our Huizhou?"

This is also everyone's doubts. The Xixia people attacked Xi'an Prefecture, but they didn't attack Huizhou in the west!

"It seems that the target of the Xixia people is Lanzhou!"

"Lanzhou?"

"Taking Lanzhou, the Xixia army on the north bank of the Yellow River can drive straight in, and the whole army enters Xihe Road!" Li Yanxian's mind was spinning quickly.

There are [-] military divisions in the whole country of Xixia, and most of the troops are distributed in the Xitao Plain and Hengshan area to defend Xingqing Mansion.

The military divisions in the south of Xixia Kingdom to check and balance the Song Dynasty are as follows from east to west:

The left wing of the Bravery Army Division (on the east bank of the Yulin River), Xiangyou Army Division (between Yin and Xiazhou), Youzhou Jianing Army Division (Hongliuhe Xiyan, northwest of Jingbian, Shaanxi), Weizhou Jingsai Army Division (Ningxia Central Ningweizhou Town), Xishou Baotai Army Division, Zhuoluohenan (Hongchengzi, Langhe East, Yongdengzhuang, Gansu).

Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division were distributed in the north of Lanzhou, restraining the Lanzhou Song Army.

"The Xixia army that attacked Xi'an this time could never have come from Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Division in the west. They probably came from the Jingsai Army Division and the Xishou Baotai Army Division."

"It may also be transferred from Xiping Mansion!"

"Since they bypassed Huizhou, it means they are in a hurry."

After Li Yanxian's series of analysis, everyone's minds turned quickly following him.

Dang Song said: "Then why only hit Xi'an and not us?"

"The reason for attacking Xi'an Prefecture is that the party members want Tiandu Mountain to hoard food and grass. If we don't attack us, we will really be in a hurry. Soldiers are precious and fast. They will use troops against us without warning. They must want to beat us by surprise!"

Dang Song said angrily: "This group of Dangxiang dogs are too despicable! I, Da Song, have been doing business with them for the past two years, and even took advantage of our unpreparedness!"

Li Yanxian said: "This may be premeditated. As early as a few months ago, when the rotation started, Mr. Zhang wrote to me, telling me to be careful in everything. Now it seems that the Xixia people took advantage of our rotation. Go to war!"

Shao Long said: "The rotation is a secret. Even if it is spread out, it will take time. How could the Xixia people know so quickly?"

"I don't know!" Li Yanxian's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"What do we do now?" Shao Long asked.

Dang Song said: "What else can I do, fight with those Dangxiang dogs!"

Shao Long said: "There are tens of thousands of people on the other side, and we only have 5000 people!"

Dang Song said angrily: "At the beginning, I said that Huizhou needs more troops, more troops, and now something happened!"

"Soldiers are good but not many!" Li Yanxian said, "Give me an order to gather all the troops, and we will bring Xi'an Prefecture back!"

"Hit Xi'an Prefecture?"

"Yes! Hit Xi'an Prefecture, hit snakes and hit seven inches! The party members want to fight high, move westward quickly, and hoard food and grass in Tiandu Mountain to prepare for the army. If we take back Xi'an Prefecture and cut off their backs, As long as Lanzhou can persist for a while, the Xizhou Commander-in-Chief will be able to send a large army to help, dragging the war into a protracted state!"

"And now in this season, if you do a solid wall and clear the field, you can freeze the party members to death outside!"

Shao Long said: "This still can't explain why the party members didn't attack us in Huizhou. We still have 5000 people!"

"It's useless to talk too much, send troops tonight!"

At this time, the news of winning Xi'an Prefecture had already been sent back to Xingqing Mansion.

Li Qianshun said with some concern: "Ren Qing, you said that attacking Huizhou is useless, why do I always think it's inappropriate."

Anhui, who was named Wei on one side, said: "Your Majesty, Huizhou is just a small city. It can neither garrison food and hold on, nor can it make our army join forces as soon as possible. Si Bianeng and Li Liangfu fought back, and the [-] troops quickly marched south to besiege Xizhou!"

Ren Dejing said: "The magistrate of Huizhou is a man named Li Yanxian. This person drinks all day long and does nothing. Your Majesty does not need to waste time on such small people. The military situation is urgent now. Taking Lanzhou and Xizhou is the most important thing. heavy!"

"Once the army on the right captures Xizhou and Taozhou is in the palm of our hands, the army on the left can go out of Hengshan, take Huanzhou and Qingzhou, and even point directly at Jingzhao Mansion!"

Li Qianshun asked again: "How is Liu Yu's side now?"

Chapter 351: Beacon on Xihe Road! (first update)

Wei Ming Anhui said: "According to the news from Yanjing, Liu Yu will attack Song Dynasty in the first month."

"Already acted?"

"The journey is long and the messenger is still on the way, but Liu Yu must have dispatched troops."

Only then did Li Qianshun feel at ease.

To be honest, he didn't really want to start a war with Da Song.

Li Qianshun still had a shadow in his heart.

It was the early days of Zhao Ji's succession to the throne, Cai Jing was in power, and the old and new schools of the court were fighting.

This incident was called "Chongning Kaibian" in history, and it was the finale of the external expansion in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It heralded the establishment of Longyou Duhufu in the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the opening of Chongning, Wang Hou, Gao Yongnian and others advanced from Lanzhou and Hezhou to the Huangshui River Basin, completely ending the rule of the Siluo regime (the regime established by Tubo in Qinghai).

However, Xiaolong, the sixth generation Qingtang lord, was not reconciled. After escaping, he united with Xixia, hoping that Xixia would send troops to help him restore his country.

The original purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty's use of troops against the various tribes of the Qing and Tang Dynasties from the Shenzong era was to cut off Xixia's right arm, stretch the front, and drag down Xixia.

Therefore, Xixia is very happy to win over the Qingtang tribes and restore the rule of the Qingtang tribes there.

At that time, Li Qianshun was young, and he had just worked hard to govern the country, so he naturally wanted to build a career, so he agreed and sent tens of thousands of troops.

As a result, a big defeat.

This incident dealt a great blow to Li Qianshun. Later, the Song Dynasty continued to attack Hengshan, and Li Qianshun was deeply afraid of the Song army.

But at this moment, there are too many unknown factors for Li Qianshun's conservative personality.

He was worried that if the battle with Song was out of control and he invested more and more, it would be troublesome if it was greatly wasted.

Wei Ming Anhui continued: "Your Majesty, don't worry. At the end of the second year of Jingkang, the Song army was severely injured by the Jin army in Jingzhao Mansion. The Song country is already exhausted. Now it is fighting on two fronts, and it will definitely lose!"

Li Qianshun didn't think about it any more.

What Wei Ming An Hui said is correct, the current situation in Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty is indeed not optimistic.

There were too many casualties in the Battle of Chang'an, and the upper echelons of the Western Army were scheming and corrupt. Although many recruits were recruited in two years, it was impossible to recover their combat effectiveness so quickly.

And now the rotation has just ended.

The rapid fall of Xi'an Prefecture also confirmed the shortcomings of the Song Army in Shaanxi at this time.

On the 24th of the first lunar month, Li Liangfu's army came to Lanzhou City.

This confirmed Li Yanxian's conjecture.

The first goal of the Xixia army is to break through Lanzhou, the gateway to the north of Xihe Road. Once Lanzhou is broken through, Zhuo Luo and the southern army commander Ma Ke on the opposite side will be dispatched.

In the morning, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the Yellow River in Lanzhou was still frozen, and everything was sleeping.

The patrolling Song Army quickly ran towards Lanzhou City.

"Report! The Xixia army is coming! The Xixia army is coming!"

The soldiers of the Song Army standing on the tower looked over and saw a black line in the snow field ahead that was gradually being washed away.

Soon, the black outline was slowly revealed.

Banners fluttered in the sky, and the sound of countless footsteps stepping on the white snow resounded from the sky and the earth.

It was a black torrent, rolling towards Lanzhou City.

The Song army defending the city gasped, the army had tens of thousands of people!

The alarm bell on the Lanzhou city tower rang, and countless people in the city looked at that place in surprise.

"There is an enemy attack!"

"The enemy is coming!"

"The thief is here!"

"..."

In Lanzhou City, everyone is vigilant.

The guard Guan Shigu immediately began to call the guards of the whole city.

The soldiers put on their armor, picked up their spears and crossbows, and ran towards the tower under the command of the officers.
