Chapter three hundred and ninety second mutual calculation
When the Western Xia envoy left, Chao Yong smiled and said, "What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhishen said, "Western Xia has invaded our Han people for many years, how can we forgive them easily?"
Yang Zhi also echoed: "Western Xia invaded the border for many years, and many people were captured by them and became slaves. Now, seeing that I, Daliang Qiangsheng, I want to seek peace, so how can I do such a good thing?"
Liu Qi also said with anger: "This invasion of Xixia, the Western Army and the Clashing Kings of Zhenrong Army alone were no less than 50,000, and the people who died were even more uncountable. How could they easily negotiate peace with Xixia?"
Chao Yong said nothing, but looked at Xu Guanzhong with a smile.
Xu Guanzhong looked at Chao Yong and had to come out and smile: "The last general thought that the Western Xia envoys came strangely. The people of Xixia have always been greedy and fierce. Now there are 300,000 troops in the Deshun Army and Huanqing Road. Perhaps the country I could still gather more troops, but I, Daliangman, could not afford to fight 90,000 troops and kill King Cha of the Western Xia and Jin dynasties. If Li Ganshun sought peace, I'm afraid he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the king when he returned. ”
Zhong Shidao nodded and said, "General Xu is saying that there are many tribes in Xixia. If Li Ganshun humiliated and seek peace with three times his troops, he would probably collapse after he returned."
Zhu Wu also smiled and said, "The prince must have seen it, so he wants to return all the Han people in Xixia. Many craftsmen in Xixia are Han people. If all the Han people are returned, the national strength of Xixia may be greatly reduced. At that time, I will not be able to do so. If the attack is expected, the grassland tribes can also slowly decline in Western Xia. If Li Ganshun agrees to return the Han people, it will be a fraud."
Chao Yong nodded and said, "I just suspect that the firearm is a divine thunder for the uncivilized French people, and a powerful firearm for the Xixia people. Although my Daliang is invincible, I have not yet been in the Central Plains. It’s so much that people are in the way of hearing the news, let alone the Western Xia.”
Lu Zhishen said: "Then see if Li Ganshun agrees tomorrow or not, you will know whether there is a fraud or not."
Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "I'm afraid Li Ganshun's army should come tonight."
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said, "The Xixia people are going to attack the camp?"
Chao Yong nodded and said, "It's probably true. Xixia numbs us by seeking peace, and then launches a night attack. He doesn't think that these strategies are left over from our ancestors."
Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "Sa family asked for orders and led his troops to ambush outside the village."
Wu Song also said: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to ambush outside the village."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Okay, then you two are ambushed outside the village. When the mid-sized cannon fired, you will cut off the Xixia people from both sides."
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "You can go to the Xixia Dazhai to ambush the troops and horses, and simply robbed the Xixia Dazhai."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "This task is handed over to Dong Ping, Lu Junyi and the others. They should be in the Deshun Army now."
Xu Guanzhong said: "If you want to capture Li Ganshun, you may have to ambush the troops westwards. Li Ganshun should not come to rob the camp in person. Maybe he will flee in the panic together with our ambush."
Yang Zhi immediately said: "I will go to the west to ambush."
Mu Hong also snatched: "The last general is willing to go."
Li Ying, Li Congji, and Sun Li are naturally not willing to fall behind and capture the enemy's king. This kind of glory is the pursuit of military generals, and this kind of opportunity is also very rare. Many military generals may not have such an opportunity in their lives.
Even Master Zhong wanted to speak a little, but he didn't have many soldiers and could not complete this task independently. Although if he went with others, the main general must be him, he was nakedly robbing the merits. He also Disdain to do such things.
Han Shizhong and Liu Qi were also moved, but they both lacked military and had insufficient qualifications.
Chao Yong looked at the five people and smiled and said, "I want to go to this errand. This is how you can draw lots. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, do you want to catch them?"
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "Sha family said that they were ambushing outside the village. Then let's ambush outside the village."
Wu Song also said: "I won't catch you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Chao Yong made five notes of paper. He wrote the word Li on one of them, then kneaded them all into pieces of paper, shook them in his hand for a while, then spread his hands and smiled and said, "Come on, Whoever catches the word Li, I wish him to catch Li Ganshun tonight.”
Yang Zhi and the other two looked at each other, and they all wanted to be the first to avoid being caught by others. However, they felt that the probability of choosing one of the five seemed to be low, and they also hoped that others would catch a few empty ones first.
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Just follow the order you just said, Yang Zhi first, Mu Hong second, Li Ying third, Li Congji fourth, and Sun Li fifth."
The five people stopped hesitating when they saw the prince’s order.
Yang Zhi was the first to come up and looked at the five pieces of paper that were almost kneaded. He could only choose one at will, but it was blank when it opened.
“Not selected.”
Yang Zhi smiled helplessly and stepped aside.
Mu Hong chose the second one, but he didn't choose either.
Li Ying went up, but still didn't choose.
"It shouldn't be difficult to choose one of two, but seeing the results of the three of you, I don't think I can't choose it."
Li Congji smiled and went up, picked up a piece of paper and opened it, it was really a white strip.
Seeing this, Lu Zhishen laughed and said, "I thought Sun Li had no chance at all, but I didn't expect that he would win without a fight."
Chao Yong said with a suspicion: "Can the note that I wrote the words just now fall off? General Sun opened the note and took a look."
Sun Li naturally knew that Chao Yong was joking, so he went up to open the note, and naturally he had the word Li.
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Okay, the truth is revealed. Everyone should prepare for it."
The night is as bright as ink, the sky is like the bottom of a pot, and the bright moon and the twinkling stars are gone.
"It's a good day for a night attack without seeing your fingers."
Li Gan and his personal soldiers patrolled the camp for a while, and the more than 30,000 left behind were all guarded in neatly clothes and armor to guard against the arrival of the camp.
After nightfall, a 60,000 army quietly left the camp and headed for the Liang Kingdom camp.
Chage and Wei Ming Anhui were both important ministers of Li Ganshun in charge of Western Xia and were also rare talents in the Western Xia royal family. Both of them died at the hands of Liang State. How could Li Ganshun be willing to retreat?
Although he had promised Wei Ming Anhui before that he would withdraw his troops once he failed the raid, Xixia still had the advantage in its military strength. When he retreated, he was afraid that people would be in a state of turmoil. Without Cha Ge and Wei Ming Anhui, other tribes would probably be ready to move. Instead of doing so, If you win, you may be able to repel Liang State. If you lose, you will have a reason to retreat.
Therefore, Li Ganshun came up with a plan to paralyze the Liang army and attack at night. The soldiers and horses in the camp were all neatly dressed and were nominally guarding against Daliang's sneak attack. However, once the troops and horses of the Liang State camp failed, Li Gan prepared to stay overnight withdraw troops.
Otherwise, if two consecutive sneak attacks fail, the morale of the army will inevitably be depressed. If the decisive battle with the Liang Kingdom with firearms will inevitably be defeated.
On the east side of the Xixia camp, a black-clad soldier and horse were lurking from the darkness to the outside of the camp. It was the 20,000 troops led by Lu Junyi and Dong Ping, and the 1,000 troops led by Yao Pingzhong.
After Chao Yong's army defeated Chage's army, he sent someone to inform Lu Junyi and Dong Ping came to Deshun's army.
On the 21st, Lu Junyi and Dong Ping led their troops through Liupan Mountain and entered the Deshun Army stuck at the mountain pass at night.
On the same day, Li Ganshun sent Weiming Anhui to attack the Liang army, but did not attack the Deshun army, so he didn't know that there were already 20,000 more soldiers in the city.
Although Liupan Mountain is steep, it is not difficult to fly. It is just that the mountain road is difficult to walk, which is inconvenient for the army to pass through. People with strong skills can still be unobstructed. Chao Yong sent Jie Zhen to Jie Bao to Lu Junyi and Dong Ping to send a message.
The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Deshun Army were less than 5,000 at this time, half of which were Qin Feng Road soldiers under Zhong Shizhong, and half were Xihe Road soldiers.
After the invasion of Xixia, Yao Gu, the governor of Xihe Road, led his troops to retreat to Qinfeng Road. However, because most of the troops were sent to Jiangnan to wipe out Fang La, there were not many soldiers and horses back.
Although both Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu were commanders of the military commanders, the Deshun Army was under the jurisdiction of Qin Fenglu, and the commander was naturally Zhong Shizhong.
Zhong Shizhong learned that Lu Junyi and Dong Ping were going out of the city to attack the camp, but he had no idea. Although he felt that the Xixia soldiers and horses had not attacked the city for two days and might be prepared, but the two left the city and the prince ordered them, so he could not stop them. Capturing Xixia Although the king was moved, defending the Deshun army was equally important. He did not want to attack the camp, but in the end he lost the Deshun army.
Master Zhong was not moved, but the young Grand Marshal Yao Pingzhong was moved.
Yao Pingzhong was Yao Gu's nephew. He lost his father in his early years and was raised by Yao Gu. The Yao family was the northwest general second only to the Zong family, and Yao Pingzhong also learned a good martial arts.
At the age of eighteen, he participated in the Battle of Zangdihe. The soldiers of Xixia were unstoppable and many beheaded. Therefore, he was summoned by Tong Guan. However, Yao Pingzhong saw that Tong Guan was only a eunuch, but he secretly took over the position of the general, so he was somewhat concerned about Tong Guan. Disdainful. Tong Guan saw Yao Pingzhong's arrogance, immediately erased a lot of Yao Pingzhong's military achievements, and the imperial court's rewards were naturally reduced. However, the young heroes in Guanzhong all highly praised Yao Pingzhong and called him the young Grand Marshal.
In the battle to wipe out Fang La, he also led his troops to participate, killing the generals and seizing the city. Although Fang La was not captured, the contribution he received was one of the best in the entire Western Army. Originally, Yao Pingzhong thought about being received by the emperor, but he did not expect that the Song Dynasty suddenly Destroyed.
After rushing all the way, I returned to the northwest and realized that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the bandits of Liangshan, and the old Zong Jingliang Gong actually called on the Western Army to surrender to Daliang and fight against the Western Xia together.
Although Yao Pingzhong was unwilling to do so, it was not his turn to the Yao family to make decisions. Moreover, the Xihe Road of the Yao family is gone, and the troops are only more than 10,000, so there is no big say. In the end, Yao Gu naturally chose. The Hezhong family will advance and retreat together.
It was not until two days ago that Lu Junyi, Dong Ping led his troops into the Deshun army, and at the same time, he killed the Prince of Daliang and defeated Cha Ge's troops. He would soon bring the news that Li Ganshun was going to surround him and brought it into the city. Yao Pingzhong felt that Daliang overthrew the Song Dynasty. Not a lucky one.
When he heard that Lu Junyi and Dong Ping were going to attack Li Ganshun's camp, he immediately rushed to capture Li Ganshun.
Yao Gu also felt that Li Ganshun might be able to be captured, so he agreed to Yao Pingzhong's request. Due to Yao Gu's face, Zhong Shizhong also agreed to Yao Pingzhong to bring a thousand troops out of the city.
