Countless Han, Tibetan, and Qiang warriors, because of Zhao Kai's imperial edict, prepared their own horses, armor, equipment, and food, and came to Lingzhou City in groups. Of course, it was impossible to hide this from the brothers Li Qianshun and Li Chage, the governor of the Hexi Festival of the Song Dynasty in Xingzhou City next to Lingzhou.
Of course, these two brothers have not left Xingzhou City... They just pretended to leave to avoid going to Lingjiu Mountain in Fengxiang Mansion to meet Zhao Kai.
However, the Dangxiang people in Xingzhou City and its surrounding areas are almost gone... After all, brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard cannot hang themselves on the tree of Dajin. What if the Kingdom of Jin cannot defeat Zhao Kaike despite all its might? By then, brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard will not be dumbfounded? If they didn't move the Dangxiang people away, they could only survive a few days in Dunhuang before they had to be kidnapped by Cao's rebel army and sold to Zhao Kai.
Moreover, brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard have to paralyze Zhao Kai!
If the Dangxiang people in Xingzhou refused to leave, would Zhao Kai still go north to Heishan (Yangshan)? Maybe he will come straight to Xingzhou.
Therefore, the two brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard arranged for the nationals to escape, and at the same time selected 15,000 elite soldiers from the sixth squadron in the imperial siege (a total of 45,000 with supporting soldiers) to lurk in Helan Mountain. The two brothers themselves led the party's most elite Pingxia Tieyaozi (three thousand regular soldiers and six thousand support) to guard Xingzhou City. Of course, the Hexi Jiedushi envoy did not dare to fly the tooth flag, let alone the flag of the Dabai Gaoguo Wuzu. He only dared to quietly squint. Except for a few close friends, no one knew about the brothers Qian Shun and Cha Ge. The two are still in Xingzhou City.
Of course, there are no people in Xingzhou City now. Those who should leave have all gone, and those who are left behind are all officials and servants of the state government and a small number of family members of the Xingzhou Township Army - Xingzhou City is still useful to the two brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard, so Some people have to be left to watch!
If Li Qianshun and Brother Richard can kill Zhao Kaiyin with Dajin Shangguo, they will still have to be the masters of Xingzhou. If Zhao Kai had beaten Dajin Shangguo badly...then brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard would have to dedicate Xingzhou to Zhao Kai, and they would have to keep it intact to show the difference between the two brothers. Be loyal!
However, the officials, officers, rural soldiers and their families who are responsible for guarding and maintaining Xingzhou City are now concentrated in Chongyifang in Xingzhou City. Without Xue Yuanli's order, they cannot even leave Chongyifang. Not to mention going out of the city to inform the Song Dynasty about the news in Xingzhou City...
Although the news in Xingzhou City could not be sent out, the two brothers Li Qianshun and Richard who were squinting in Xingzhou Palace City knew a little about every move in Lingzhou.
Every day, Xizuo quietly crossed the Yellow River from Lingzhou and communicated news to Li Qianshun and Brother Richard. Although he couldn't get any secrets, he still knew that Zhao Kai had gathered a large number of rabble in Lingzhou City.
But what the two brothers couldn't quite figure out was what was the purpose of Zhao Kai collecting so many people?
"The light cavalry alone collected nearly 20,000...the infantry also drove over in groups. They were all 'colliding men' who didn't even have leather armor. The number was probably over 30,000. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they are of little use! Not only are they useless, but they are also a waste of military supplies."
"These light cavalry and infantry are actually quite strong, but they are still far from becoming a real army. If they can be trained well for a year and equipped with good soldiers and armor, they can be of great use... Could it be that Zhao Kai is planning to train troops in Lingzhou?"
"How can we train now? By the time he trains his troops, the Kingdom of Jin will already be running Montenegro like an iron bucket!"
"That's true... But Zhao Kai started his career with a bunch of ragtags that he cobbled together! And didn't he also use a lot of ragtags in the battle of Linru Town?"
"It's different this time... When we start fighting in Montenegro, the logistical supplies are too unfavorable for the Song Army! How much food and grass will be consumed by fifty thousand soldiers? If there is no big use, just the consumption of food and grass will be a loss."
In the imperial garden of Xingzhou Palace, in a pavilion by the pond, Ganshun and Chage, who were sitting face to face and talking hand in hand, once again chatted about the rabble gathered in Lingzhou.
However, after chatting for a long time, the two brothers still didn't understand how Zhao Kai planned to use these tens of thousands of people... Just when they were about to end the day's chat and go back to rest, a burst of sound suddenly came from the entrance of the Imperial Garden. Loud sounds. Then there was the shout from Xue Yuanli, who was sent by Quan Fa to inform Xingzhou: "Let me in quickly, I want to see Commander-in-Chief, there is urgent military affairs... Commander-in-Chief, it's not good!"
The two brothers Qian Shun and Cha Ge looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
Brother Richard hurriedly shouted: "Let Governor Xue come in!"
The iron kite soldiers guarding outside heard Brother Richard's order and no longer stopped Xue Yuanli. Then they saw that this Confucian scholar who was very famous in Dabai Gao Kingdom now didn't care about his elegance or his smile at Tao Shengyun. He just came trotting all the way angrily.
This Xue Yuanli probably doesn't exercise much in daily life. Not only did he run very slowly, but he accidentally fell down while running and fell on the muddy ground. His green official uniform (official uniform of the Song Dynasty) was all dirty. It was a big movie, but this guy didn’t care, stood up and continued running. By the time they ran outside the pavilion where brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard were, this guy was out of breath... I saw him holding a roll of paper in his hand, pointing at them, and he couldn't even speak. Not coming out.
Li Qianshun looked at him and asked, "Xue Yuanli, what happened?"
Brother Richard asked: "Is Zhao Kai coming to Lingzhou...and wants my brother to see him?"
Xue Yuanli shook his head, "The official family of the Song Dynasty did not come to Lingzhou..."
fine!
Brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard were both relieved, but Xue Yuanli's next words frightened them both.
"But Yue Fei and Li Shifu sent troops... and sent troops to Xingzhou!"
"You, what did you say?" Li Qianshun asked in a trembling voice.
Xue Yuanli said: "Your Majesty, I have just received an urgent report from Shunzhou Ferry... Yesterday evening, the Song Army from Lingzhou suddenly dispatched and first crossed the river with elite troops to occupy Shunzhou Ferry. Then seventy or eighty thousand soldiers The army left Lingzhou City overnight, and they started crossing the river at dawn today!
Your Majesty, we are commanding the army. The Song army in Lingzhou must be coming towards our Xingzhou... What should we do? "
Now brothers Li Qianshun and Brother Richard finally knew why Zhao Kai gathered so many mobs in Lingzhou!
Brother Richard said dejectedly: "It turns out that this is how the mob in Lingzhou is used to deal with us!" He turned to Qian Shun and said, "Wuzi, there are only 3,000 iron kites and 6,000 supporting soldiers in Xingzhou City. , even if Xingzhou rural soldiers are included, there are less than 10,000 people... This city cannot be defended!"
"Aren't there still 45,000 people in the Helan Mountains?" Li Qianshun's voice was also trembling, and the muscles on his face were twitching. "Just wait a few days, and Emperor Jin will come to save us."
"Hold on..." Brother Richard stamped his feet, "Xingzhou is a naked city, and there is no preparation. How can we hold it? Besides, what can we do to deal with the Song Dynasty's explosive pot?"
"Yes, but those are just a mob!" Li Qianshun was still unwilling to give in.
Brother Richard shook his head, "Not all... Yue Fei and Li Shifu commanded more than 20,000 people, and they were all elite soldiers!
That Yue Fei... is still the number one warrior under Zhao Kai, known as Yue Wudi! "
Xue Yuanli also reminded: "My lord, there are not many Chinese people inside and outside Xingzhou City now... The strength of Xingzhou is not the dangerous terrain, let alone the strong city, but the hundreds of thousands of party members inside and outside the city." clan! When it comes to life and death, even the old, weak, women and children can go to the city and fight to the death. But now the Chinese people have gone far away to Hexi, and Xingzhou is completely empty!"
"It's over..." Li Qianshun shivered, "What should we do? I understand that the Gao Kingdom is about to perish?"
Although the brand of Dabai Gaoguo is no longer used, this country is still there in the hearts of the world, at least what Li Qianshun thinks.
Brother Richard shook his head and said to Qian Shun: "Don't panic, you soldiers... Let's clear out the nationalities in Xingzhou, transfer the food and grass in the city, and hide our elite troops in Helan Mountain, isn't it just to prevent Zhao Kai from doing this?" Recruit?
He wants Xingzhou City, right? Just give it to him... Let's leave the city and go to Helan Mountain! "
Li Qianshun thought for a while, "Do you want to fight the Song army in the Helan Mountains?"
"Of course not," Brother Richard said, "If we enter the Helan Mountains, wouldn't we be able to take advantage of the Jin people? If Zhao Kai doesn't wipe us out, how can he dare to go north to the Black Mountains?"
"Then let's..."
"Let's go to the Baimaqiang Town Military Division and watch the Battle of Black Mountain between Song and Jin Dynasties!" Brother Richard said, "Most of the food we shipped out before is stored there. And the Baimaqiang Town Military Division is guarding the desert. It stands on an oasis, surrounded by desert protection, and is very hidden... Moreover, we haven't broken up with Zhao Kai yet!"
Haven't broken up yet?
Li Ganshun said heartily: An army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops came over quietly, and they haven't broken up yet? How thick-skinned are we brothers?
Brother Richard gritted his teeth and said: "Wuzi... We will stay at the Military Department of Baimaqiang Town and see how Zhao Kai takes over Heishan! If he takes over Heishan, we will turn around and go straight to Dunhuang." .I don’t believe he would send troops two thousand miles away to hunt us down!
If he is defeated by the Jin people, we will immediately pounce on him and stab him a few times to take back all the lost lands of Xingzhou, Lingzhou, Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Weizhou and Shizhou! "
"There is also Tiandu Mountain!" Li Qianshun also gritted his teeth, "There is also Lanzhou, Fuzhou, Linzhou, Fengzhou... and the land of Hehuang, these are all the lands of my Dabai Gao Kingdom! "
He has quite a dark heart and wants so much territory!
But that is a matter of the future. Now all he and Brother Cha can do is run away...and they have to run faster. If Yue Fei catches him, he will have his head chopped off!
