It’s late summer, but the weather in the northwest is still extremely hot.www []
The 80,000-strong army has already walked a day's journey. The speed of the Liangshan army has not changed at all. They keep moving forward as if they don't know how tired they are. There are smiles on their faces, and their military songs continue to spread to the Western Army.
, the faces of the Western Army soldiers showed expressions of surprise! Relatively speaking, the Western Army's speed was getting slower and slower, and Liu Yanqing kept urging and driving behind!
It wasn't until five days later that they arrived in Northwest Prefecture!
Fuzhou, this is a city that belongs exclusively to the Zhe family army!
In fact, speaking carefully, the history of the Zhejia is much longer than that of the Song Dynasty! Since the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhejia have been guarding the northwest. They are one of the barriers for the Han people in the northwest! From the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties
From the Ten Kingdoms to the Song Dynasty, dynasties changed continuously, but the Zhe family never weakened! On the contrary, the Zhe family became more and more prosperous! They married countless military families in the northwest, and their
The influence is also growing! The famous Yang family general in history, the wife of Yang Linggong, Old Taijun She, is actually just a saying in the storybook. The real person should be "Zhe" Old Taijun! Now, the Zhe family has become
The mainstay of the Western Army! Although the Zhong Family Army of Zhong Shidao is powerful, it has only been more than a hundred years since Zhong Shiheng's rise. In terms of qualifications, they are far inferior to the Zhe Family Army!
At this moment, outside Fuzhou City, the head of the Zhe family, Zhe Keqiu, is waiting for the arrival of Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi! Standing next to Zhe Keqiu is a young man, this is Zhe Keqiu's second son, Zhe Yanzhi! In fact, Zhe Yanzhi
Zhe is not Zhe Keqiu’s biological son, but Zhe Keqiu’s elder brother Zhe Keqiu
Ke Shi’s son, Zhe Ke Shi, died young, so Zhe Yanzhi was equivalent to the adoptive son Zhe Keqiu! In later generations, the reputation of Zhe Yanzhi was much greater than that of Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen. The Jin soldiers invaded Bian
During the Liang Dynasty, Zhe Yanzhi, Zhong Shidao and others worked together to serve the king and left their names in the annals of history.[
]
"Brother Zhe, you've been waiting for a long time!" The Liu family's army arrived. When Liu Yanqing saw Zhe Keqiu waiting for him outside the city, he hurriedly came up to greet him and said with cupped hands.
"Hurry into the city!" Zhe Kexu laughed.
At present, 80,000 troops were stationed outside, while Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi followed Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi into Fuzhou City!
This Fuzhou is a famous city in the northwest. After the Zhejia's continuous management from the Tang Dynasty to the present, the population of this Fuzhou has almost caught up with Chang'an!
However, the people in the city have obviously already heard about the gathering of the army. At this moment, everyone is very nervous, fearing that there will be another war in the northwest!
The last war in the northwest was more than ten years ago. At that time, it was a battle between the Western Army and Xixia. Is there going to be another war with Xixia now?
Liu Yanqing, Zhe Keqiu and others had now entered the Fuzhou City Lord's Mansion. They sat down and Zhe Keqiu began to serve tea, and everyone was chatting and laughing.
Liu Guangshi shook his head secretly. He was very dissatisfied with Liu Yanqing's uncompromising style! In Liangshan's army, once an order is received, the army will immediately assemble and set off immediately. If they want to meet up with other armies halfway, they will not be able to do it after they meet.
I will set off again. It is impossible to sit here slowly like now.
Drinking tea and chatting in the Liangshan Army! If there were commanders like Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu in the Liangshan Army, they would have been expelled from the army long ago! He thought to himself that his father and others were in the Western Army after all, no matter how hard they trained,
After transformation, it is impossible for them to become the Liangshan Army! Their combat effectiveness will never be as good as that of the Liangshan Army!
"Brother Zhe, are you ready?" At this time, Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu finally talked about the war, Liu Yanqing said.[ ]
"Of course we are ready! The Zhe family's 50,000 troops are all ready! We have also taken out all the military rations. Now we can set off at any time!" Zhe Ke begged.
"Okay! We will follow the orders of the Liangshan Military Headquarters, but you and I still have to discuss the specific use of troops," Liu Yanqing said.
"This is natural! The military department asked our two armies to fully attack the Xixia defense line, making the Xixia people mistakenly think that the Song Dynasty was going to launch a war of national annihilation against them! As soon as the war begins, we will devote more than 100,000 troops to the war! I will advance
I have already studied it, and I think it is better to do this. Your Liu Jiajun will focus on Zhenrong Prefecture and Huanqing Road! Let’s turn
The main force of the family army is to attack Qingyang Prefecture and Baoan Road! With more than 100,000 of us pressing down, the Xixia army will be extremely terrifying. At that time, all their domestic troops will be transferred to the south! In this way, our goal can be achieved
!At that time, we will focus on defense! The mission will be completed!" Zhe Ke begged.
"Okay! Just do this!" Liu Yanqing looked at the map, thought for a while, and nodded.
"Our troops are so scattered. What if the Xixia people attack us with all their strength?" At this time, Zheyanzhi said.
"Even so, there is no need to be afraid! We don't need to hold on for long at all! In a month or two at most, Liangshan's army will attack the capital of Xixia! By that time, the Xixia army will definitely return to defense, and we will be safe
!" Liu Guangshi laughed.
"In a month or two at most, the Liangshan army can attack the capital of Xixia? Brother Liu, as far as I know, the Liangshan army has not sent troops yet?" Zheyan questioned.
"Once they send out troops, it will only take a month or two to reach the capital of Xixia!" Liu Guangshi said.
"Is Liangshan's army really that powerful?" Zheyan didn't believe it.
"You will understand when the battle comes!" Liu Guangshi laughed.
"Guangshi, these are other orders given to you by the Liangshan Military Headquarters!" Zhe Kezhi interrupted the two of them and said suddenly.
He handed a letter to Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi opened the envelope and read ten lines at a glance.
An expression of surprise appeared on his face at first, and soon a smile of joy appeared on his face.
"What on earth is this order?" Zhe Yanzhi asked curiously.
"Military orders must not be leaked! I'm sorry! Later, you will understand what the military orders are!" Liu Guangshi said.
Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu didn't ask any more questions. They all knew that Liangshan had strict rules and it was understandable that Liu Guangshi didn't tell them! But Zhe Yanzhi had a disapproving expression on his face, and then he snorted coldly.
"Brother Yanzhi, how about you stay in my army and move with my army, what do you think?" Liu Guangshi said with a smile.
"Okay! Let me see the methods of your Liangshan army!" Zhe Yanzhi said with great joy.
He had long heard that the Liangshan army was powerful, and he had long wanted to see the strength of the Liangshan army! Although he could not understand Liu Guangshi's style now, he did not object to joining the Liangshan army.
By the next morning, the Liu Jiajun and Zhe Jiajun finally all headed north!
On July 10th of the lunar calendar, just after the beginning of autumn, the war in the northwest broke out!
In Zhenrong Prefecture in the west, 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Liu family attacked the ancient Xiaoguan in Xixia, 10,000 soldiers and horses attacked Tiansheng Village in Xixia, and another 10,000 soldiers and horses attacked Qianxing Fort! On Huanqing Road, 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Liu family attacked Attack Anbian Village, and Liu Guangshi's 20,000 infantry will fully attack Xixia Wulun Village!
Some of these fortresses and military fortresses were built by the Xixia people, and some were built by the Northern Song Dynasty but occupied by the Xixia people! These fortresses and fortresses are important strongholds on the border of the Song Dynasty and Xixia. Once these places are captured, the Liu Army will enter Xixia The territory is raging in Xixia territory!
In the east, the 20,000-strong army that can be found is fully attacking Wujiao Town and Rouyuan Village in the north of Qingyang Mansion, and the other 30,000 troops are attacking Jintang City on Baoan Road!
For a time, the northwest Han people invested 120,000 troops! Except for Liu Guangshi's 10,000 cavalry, the remaining troops and horses were all thrown into the battle! The entire front stretched for hundreds of miles, and the scale of the war seemed extremely huge.
