Four hundred and seventeenth chapter benevolence failed
Renzhong's retreat route is from Qingzhou to Huanzhou, along Baimachuan, and exit Qinggang Gorge, you can enter the territory of Xixia. //// This road is also the official road for messengers of the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty, and is called Guoxin.
Post Road.
When they were in Qingzhou, there were no abnormalities in the troops along the way, but after entering Huanzhou, the food and grass of Renzhong's army were cut off.
The food and grass along Renzhong were also transported from the Western Xia. Although there were some food and grass on Huanqing Road, it was not enough to support the 200,000 army. Even if Xue Sichang wanted to curry favor with Renzhong, there was nothing he could do about the food and grass. Unless Xue Sichang plundered the people's food and grass.
They came to supply Renzhong's army, but Renzhong and Xue Sichang would not do this to fish out of the waters, so the food and grass of Renzhong's army were still transported from the Western Xia.
What's worse is that Renzhong did not replace the guards of the fortress along the way. Although Xixia did not agree to use Huanqing Road as a fief of Xue Sichang, if Xue Sichang had just surrendered, they would immediately seize the rights in Xue Sichang's hands, the Han people behind would be unwilling to do so.
Submit them.
Of course, this is also Renzhong felt that the situation was settled, and Xue Sichang did not dare to cut off his retreat. Even if Xue Sichang really dared to cheat him, he could advance westward to meet with the other two armies.
But what Renzhong did not expect was that the two armies of Cha Ge and Li Qianshun were soon defeated, and his army became an orphan army, which made Xue Sichang feel unfair.
The worst thing is that Hengshan is steep and transporting food and grass is very slow. In order to encircle the Zhongjia Army and Daliang troops as soon as possible, Chao Yong led the army to Weizhou, and Renzhong led the army to march straight in, but there was not much food and grass escort with the army.
When we arrived at the Huanzhou city, there were only two days left for food and grass in Renzhong's army. There were less than 200 miles from Huanzhou to Hengshan border, but there were many fortresses along the way intercepting them.
However, Xue Sichang had already rushed from Qingzhou to Huanzhou with his confidant before Renzhong's army.
When the Daliang flag was raised in Huanzhou, Renzhong also knew that Xue Sichang had switched to Daliang.
Looking at the dark Xixia army under the city, all the soldiers on the city were looking like earth. Outside the city was a 200,000 army, but there were only 10,000 soldiers in Huanzhou City.
Di Kun, the Huanzhou Troupe Training Initiative, said worriedly: "If Renzhong insists on attacking Huanzhou, it may be difficult for us to defend it."
Xue Sichang smiled and said, "I have calculated the food and grass of Renzhong's army. The food and grass remaining in his army will only last for three days at most. Do you think he dares to attack the city?"
Di Kun thought for a while and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Renzhong will definitely not be able to conquer Huanzhou in three days. I just don't know what he is going to do in the camping city?"
Xue Sichang pointed to the chauman running down the city and smiled and said, "It should be that he wants to surrender me."
Di Kun smiled and said, "As the master analyzed, the situation in Xixia is hopeless and Daliang will dominate the world sooner or later. With the courage of the prince of Daliang and the power of the thunder cannon, Xixia will sooner or later perish. Will we follow Xixia and perish yourself?"
While speaking, the foreigners under the city had already run to the city and shouted: "Please answer King Huanqing."
King Huanqing was the title given to Xue Sichang by Xixia.
Xue Sichang shouted, "Now I am a native of Daliang, don't talk about King Huanqing. If you want to surrender to Daliang, I can report to the court for you, otherwise you will be invited back."
The foreigners under the city saw Xue Sichang walking to the city, and looked up at Xue Sichang and said, "Mr. Xue must also know the hatred of Prince Daliang for the treason. Even if you block my army, Prince Daliang will not be able to do so.
Let you go, only Xixia in this world can protect you.”
Xue Sichang smiled and said, "The prince will make clear decisions about merits and demerits. If I hadn't put you in, how could there be a chance to surround you? My sins have been relieved by the prince, so you won't have to worry about it."
The people in the city were discolored when they heard the encirclement. But they immediately smiled and said, "I have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Daxia here. Who has the ability to encircle my army? The Prince of Daliang has entered the hinterland of our country, how can you get his understanding? .Now who doesn’t know the strength of the Prince of Liang, and what others agree to may not count, right?”
Xue Sichang couldn't help but change his face when he heard this. This was also something he was worried about. He received the news that Li Ganshun was killed one day later than Renzhong. It was only when Renzhong's army marched a little slower. He was able to run from Gyeongju to the first time. Come to Huanzhou.
He sent someone to contact Zhong Shidao. When he wanted to see the prince through Zhong Shidao, the prince had already sent troops to attack Xixia. Finally, Zhong Shidao, Lu Junyi, Wu Song and others worked together to protect him and promised to relieve him of his guilt and let him intercept Renzhong. Dajun. Daliang has the current situation in the northwest, and the first contribution is to promote Zhong Shidao. Therefore, Daliang has granted Zhong Shidao Northwest Duke, which is also the highest title that can be achieved by a different surname. Lu Junyi, Wu Song and others are old people in Liangshan, although He had not yet been granted a title, but he had military power, which shows the prince's trust in them. Therefore, Xue Sichang agreed to intercept Renzhong's army. Although Huanzhou could not block Renzhong's army, the fortress in the north could block Renzhong's army's way.
Xue Sichang just wanted a chance to survive, so he naturally would not lead his troops to block Renzhong's army. Although those forts were built in dangerous places, they were defending against Xixia to the south. If Xixia attacked north, the terrain of those forts would be It's not that dangerous. What's more, it's a matter of time to face a 200,000 army, and it's only a matter of time before the fall of the fortress. Therefore, Xue Sichang handed over the life guarding the fortress to the generals who were not afraid of death, and he was also the generals he focused on suppressing when he surrendered to the Western Xia.
The people under the city were also smart people sent by Renzhong. When he saw Xue Sichang changing color, he said again: "King Pu doesn't want you to leave the city either. As long as you let the fortress in front open a road and let the army pass. King Pu will not blame him before, and even You can make Huanqing Road a fief for you. If Daliang attacks Huanqing Road, our country will also send troops to rescue you."
Xue Sichang heard what the other people said, and made up his mind and smiled and said, "Western Xia cannot protect itself. The Prince of Daliang has already entered Xixia. Can you still protect this Huanqing Road? You don't need to say more, I I am already from Daliang, and the forts along the north are all the brave generals of the Western Army. If you want to go back to Xixia, you can only fight. But there is probably not much food or grass in your army. In my opinion, it is better for you to surrender to Daliang. The prince attacked Xixia, and firearms destroyed the city, and the disaster of Xixia's destruction of the country was in front of him. You might as well think about retreating earlier. If Ren Zhong could lead these troops and horses to surrender, Daliang would not have his high official position and great salary, otherwise he would have to go to Li Ganshunhe Brother Cha follows in the footsteps.”
The other people might have to take the horse away.
After hearing the reward from his subordinates, Renzhong thought about it and immediately divided his troops to plunder food.
Xue Sichang looked at Renzhong's division of troops and smiled and said, "Renzhong is defeated."
Di Kun said: "Why did sir?"
"If he had made a concerted effort, he might be able to fight back. Once he stopped, there would be no hope. Although we did not have time to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, the people had already fled most of the time before the Western Xia invasion. I am afraid that the food he had grabbed was not as good as the food consumed under the city. There are many. Once the food and grass are broken, the army will inevitably collapse."
