Autumn comes earlier in the north. For the people on the grasslands, it is now the time to put on autumn fat. People in the Central Plains put on autumn fat for themselves, while northerners put on autumn fat for their horses.
In the eyes of Dangxiang people, horses are more important than people, and they are an important basis for galloping through the northwest.
Squatting in the stable, Li Yuanhao personally fed his horse, watching the horse chew the bean dregs pancakes with big mouthfuls, a smile finally appeared on his face.
But soon the smile faded, and he turned to the servant behind him and asked: "Have the people sent to Liangzhou City returned?"
The strong man behind him trembled slightly and replied in horror: "I'm back, but I didn't bring back what you asked for."
Li Yuanhao was not angry, but there was not much emotion in his voice: "Tuoshi! You see, Daxia has spent so much manpower and material resources, and given you so much money, but now you are telling me that even a little bit is useful.
You haven’t found any information about the army?! You can’t get the formula of gunpowder, you don’t know the deployment of the Xi Lie Army, and you don’t even know the situation of the Huaiyuan Army? What use do I need you for!”
Tuo Shi said in fear: "Reporting to your Majesty, although our manpower has infiltrated into Liangzhou City, both the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army are independent of Liangzhou City. Even the Liangzhou Prefecture Government Office has a sentry station at the door.
The squad and the camp are constantly inspected. The two armies are not as disciplined as the Song army! Even prostitution has never happened. It is really difficult for us to get close. As for the Firearms Department... the people in Liangzhou only know his name.
I don’t know where it is…”
"I don't need your explanation to know, but I don't need to know how tight the defense of Liangzhou City is! But I won't kill you, let's go to Liao Dynasty next!"
Takumi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The most terrible punishment was not punished. This may be the best thing today.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! All the people in the Secret Service select their own male relatives to join the son-in-law!"
Tuo Shi was shocked. The so-called "Chong Gongzi" was to capture the plundered Han people and let them serve as the vanguard of the army to reduce the casualties of the party members. This system was pioneered by Li Yuanhao, so it was called "Chong Gongzi".
There were quite a few party criminals among them, and most of them were killed or injured in a single charge. Only by beheading twenty people could they leave alive. It was a life-or-death situation.
Tuo Shi, who was planning to plead for mercy, did not dare to speak after seeing Li Yuanhao's cold eyes. He knew that this was already the best result. If he begged for mercy again, it would probably make the moody king have murderous intentions again.
"The general will obey your orders!"
As Tuo Shi retreated with his fists clasped, Li Yuanhao withdrew his gaze, holding a handful of soybeans and stuffing them into the mouth of the war horse, slightly frowning as he watched it chew: "Ye An's confidence is a weapon, sooner or later I will have one too
There are firearms! Then it will be the time for our party, Xiang Men, to gallop through the Song Dynasty."
Li Yuanhao had his own pain in his heart. During this period, the party's cavalry relied on the speed of the wind and often sent small forces to attack the land of Ganliang, especially the military forts and passes at the junction, in order to fight against the Western Lie Army and the
The Huaiyuan Army was deployed, but it was not allowed to go deep every time. The fundamental reason was that the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army were equipped with firearms.
When the party's cavalry provoked the Song army, they could not hold out. If they wanted to attack, the Song army would rely on the power of firearms to attack them. But if they bypassed the pass, the Song army would follow them like maggots on the tarsus, and soon there would be
The reinforcements carried out a siege, preventing the party's cavalry from going deep.
It can be said that the Song army in Ganliang has figured out the weakness of the Dangxiang cavalry. For a time, the Dangxiang cavalry, which came and went like wind in the northwest and invaded like fire, actually suffered from training.
Li Yuanhao also had his own anxiety in his heart. The Song people were constantly building forts in Ganliang, which was encroaching on Dangxiang's land. Although the speed was not fast, the number could not sustain the sharp increase every day!
Continuous fortresses can most effectively contain Dangxiang's cavalry. Li Yuanhao does not believe that Ding Xiaoyi of the Western Lie Army or Guan Wanshan of the Huaiyuan Army could come up with this. The answer is self-evident. This set of military tactics against Dangxiang must have come from Ye Ye.
An’s handiwork!
When he thought of the man who was several years older than himself, Li Yuanhao felt entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he had opened his eyes to himself, but on the other hand, the purpose of opening his eyes to him was to tell himself that Dang Xiang could never defeat the big enemy.
Song, this is naked irony and a kind of condescending contempt.
Whenever he thinks of the scenes between the two of them, Li Yuanhao will feel an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness in his heart.
This is also the reason why I want to defeat him, and it has even turned into an obsession. If I can't defeat him, then this shackles will linger in my heart forever.
This year, I will put autumn fat on my war horses. After this winter, it will be time for Dangxiang to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Ganliang is impregnable and has elite soldiers and generals, but the land of the Song Dynasty is not always a land of Ganliang!
No matter how powerful the Xi Lie Army and the Huaiyuan Army were, they were beyond the reach of the rest of the Song Dynasty. Oh, and they couldn't go to Huanzhou. There were also "seeds" left by Ye An there. The Anhua Army was the first elite soldier to follow Ye An.
The party members suffered losses in Huanzhou. It was the first time Li Yuanhao met Ye An, and it was also the first time he saw his father who was as tall as a mountain injured. Ye An was too young at that time, although the Song people tried their best to cover up his
However, Li Yuanhao knew that those pedantic scholars in the Song Dynasty could not use their troops like the wind on the battlefield and see through the key points of Qingping Pass at a glance.
Dangxiang is composed of multiple tribes in the land of Hetao, and the Tuoba family is not the only one.
The current internal stability of Dangxiang is not stable. Many people believe that Li Yuanhao is not qualified to be the king of Dangxiang at such a young age, especially since there have been more rumors like this recently.
But Li Yuanhao did not show any anger. What he needed was a victory, a victory that silenced all the party members, and at the same time used this victory to deal a fatal blow to those who dared to challenge his majesty.
In the final analysis, next year's war against the Song Dynasty is to strengthen its power in the party. The Hehuang area is difficult to attack, as is the Yongxing Military Road where Huanzhou is located. As for the Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty, it is too close to Tokyo City.
It is easier for Song people to go too far.
Therefore, the most convenient place for your attack is the middle section of Qinfeng Road. The terrain of Qinfeng Road is long and narrow, and the troops are also scattered. Not to mention Ganliang, Lanzhou is also an important and impregnable town, and there are Huaide Army and Zhenrong Army to the east.
Only Huizhou in the middle section relies on the mountains of Rouyuan Mountain and Lingbo Mountain to defend the northwest. The Song people thought that the mountains here were steep and difficult to attack. Didn't they know that the hunters of the Dangxiang tribe discovered a few months ago that there was actually a mountain in this place?
There is a trail where war horses can pass, and Li Yuanhao has explored it with his life. As long as sentries are placed on the mountain in advance, the possibility of being ambushed can be avoided.
If he captures Fuchuan City in Huizhou, he can go all the way south to capture Gongzhou, which is the gateway to Longxi. A little looting can bring considerable wealth to the party, which can be regarded as his greatest contribution after ascending to the throne.
It has never been important who the leader of the Party Departments is. What is important is who can bring wealth and glory to the Party Departments!
Li Yuanhao's gloomy eyes slowly looked at the palace built by his father. How many people coveted it, and how many party members wanted to ascend the throne in the palace, but these people were just clowns, and he was the only one.
The destined son of Zhongxing Party Xiang, he must also achieve his father's unprecedented achievements!
