Hebule roared in anger, completely liberating the Mongolian cavalry under his command. They did not rush to open their retreat, nor did they deal with Ren Dejing, who was still blocking my baby.
Not even paying attention to the Xixia army, which was gradually recovering its morale and gradually stabilizing, it instead dispersed its own army directly.
Those Mongolian soldiers began to roam the land of Xixia, seemingly loose but connected to each other. When one side was in trouble and supported by all sides, once any exquisite fat sheep appeared, a wisp of smoke also rose, and the army quickly surrounded them. its carving up.
Xixia still did not know enough about Mongolia. Not only did they misestimate the opponent's strength and underestimated the resilience of the Mongolian army, the most important thing was that they used the same method to deal with the Song Army and Jin Liao to deal with the Mongolian army.
This directly led to Xixia's current extremely embarrassing situation.
The biggest difference between the Mongolian army and the Song, Jin and Liao Dynasties is that they have no obsession with cities at all. They have many ways to attack cities.
But... they didn't intend to occupy it, they just wanted to take away these people's money, silk, food, and women. As for them, death would mean death.
The Xixia army is all in these three military divisions, not to mention other places, that is, the rear area is empty except for the defense of the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty and some troops and horses to defend the Liao Kingdom.
I thought that these guys would not dare to bypass them and go directly to the rear. After all, once they were trapped in the city, without the advantage and mobility of the cavalry, they would be dead.
The result was completely unexpected. Not only did this group of Mongolian troops break through the city, they even left directly before they wanted to encircle them.
When they arrived at the conquered town and even the city, the tragedy in the city made them speechless. It was simply too miserable, and the entire city was covered in blood.
Dead bodies were everywhere, flames were spreading, and the whole city was in a strange entanglement of wails and deathly silence.
The sounds of deathly silence were due to the massacre, and the wailing was due to the few people who had escaped being wailed and howling in mourning for their families.
In other words, he vented his fears.
How miserable!
The Mongolian army marched all the way. Whether it was a village, a small town or a city, any place they thought could be conquered quickly would be immediately attacked by them.
Then they massacred the city to vent their anger.
As for Xixia's soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Li Liangfu, they no longer knew what words to use to express their feelings.
The chaotic situation made Li Liangfu furious, but there was nothing he could do. He was completely led by the Mongolian army, and his cavalry had been defeated by the Mongolian army in one battle.
The confidence of the Klie tribe has completely collapsed. The only way they can think of now is to wait for the arrival of the Liao people, hoping that the Naliao people will not take advantage of the situation and do something to them.
The birth of this situation made both Li Qianshun and Li Liangfu sigh one after another.
And while they were sighing, a bigger storm came again, and the plan of Wanyan Dan, the successor appointed by Wanyan Sheng, was officially successful.
After the Song Dynasty learned about the current situation in Xixia, they immediately made a response. They wanted to join the war!
When the news of the Mongolian invasion came, Li Qianshun began to summon armies from various places, and this matter naturally fell into the ears of spies from all parties.
The spies of the Imperial City Division under Tong Guan were no exception. After hearing the news, they immediately spread the news desperately.
He didn't even have time to inquire about the outcome of the battle between the two sides. This was what his colleagues wanted to inquire about. His responsibility was to pass the news back to the court and let the Song Dynasty negotiate a result and decide whether to take advantage of the situation.
If he decides to attack Xixia, his colleagues will send it to the generals of the Song Dynasty with detailed results of the battle and all the news they can find out.
This is the spy...
Before Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, joined Li Liangfu, the news had already entered Luoyang, and Zhao Huan immediately summoned many civil and military officials.
Li Gang, the censor of the left capital, Li Guang, the censor of the right capital, Zhao Ding, the minister of household affairs, Yu Wenxuzhong, the minister of the official affairs department, Lu Yihao, the minister of the war department, Hu Quan, the minister of the punishment department, Wan Qixi, the minister of Dali Temple, Zhang Jun, the minister of rites, and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun , Minister of the Ministry of Industry, veteran Chen Gui.
In addition, there is Shi Yuefei, the famous general of the Song Dynasty who Zhao Huan relies on most, Tiance's chief of generals.
These people are the most elite existences in the Song Dynasty, and they are also the basis for Zhao Huan to stand in the world.
"All of you, dear friends, have read this news. Now it's time to talk about it. What will happen to me, the Great Song Dynasty?"
As soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, everyone first turned their attention to Zhao Ding who was standing aside. After all, it was about fighting and watching, and the most important thing was to see what Zhao Ding said.
After all, if Zhao Ding said something.
"No money!"
That's good, don't think about anything, just watch the show honestly.
However, Zhao Ding lived up to his reputation as a wise prime minister. In such a short period of time, he, Li Gang and others not only quickly stabilized the court and local areas, but also successfully completed the official reform of the Song Dynasty.
Once again, a large number of officials were purged and turned from officials into petty officials.
Then in this space, he also sorted out the money and food in the world.
To be honest, it's not like Zhao Huan didn't want to directly ransack his house to solve the problem of food and supplies, but...
Hundreds of years later, there was a guy named Chongzhen. In seventeen years, he changed eighteen chief ministers, killed five military ministers and two governors, and a group of governors ransacked their homes and exterminated their clans.
He was stunned that he couldn't get a tael of silver...
Zhao Huan looked at his income over the years and put down the idea very rationally.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. For example, the reason why he was able to copy things over the years was because Tong Guan had some skills. Naturally, Zhao Ding had to leave the matter of sorting out household registration and grain.
At this time, Zhao Ding had someone sort out the household items and send them to Zhao Huan.
"This is the number that I have come up with during this period of time. After planning and deployment, if we need to march into Xixia, I am afraid we can only dispatch less than 100,000 troops.
At the same time, the time cannot exceed one year, and the leading generals are also required to try to support war with war.
If the time is longer, the grain of our Song Dynasty will not be very rich. Forcibly supporting it will inevitably delay next year's spring plowing. Moreover, if a slightly larger disaster occurs next year, the DPRK and China will definitely not be able to cope with it. "
The figures given by Zhao Ding already had a rough idea in many people's minds. At the same time, everyone turned their attention to Yue Fei this time.
First, he is the best player here.
Secondly, wasn’t Zhao Ding just talking about the Yue Family Army?
If you ask Han Shizhong to come here to ensure that he can achieve good results for most of the year, Han Shizhong can only say nothing.
As for others, such as Zhang Jun or Liu Qi, etc., if they can win, I dare not say that they will get enough benefits in half a year.
At this time, his eyes had improved slightly, and Yue Fei did not dare to be polite, and immediately bowed to Zhao Huan.
"Your Majesty, if we attack Xixia, we will call for troops at the end!"
"If Pengju leads the troops, that would be great, but Pengju has an eye problem..."
"Although it's not all good, it's not far away. We don't dare to delay serving our country." After Yue Fei finished speaking, he immediately came up with a plan, "This battle must be fought quickly to show our power.
Since a quick battle is needed, cavalry is indispensable.
It's a pity that after the destruction of the Jingsai Army in the Song Dynasty, there has been an extreme shortage of war horses, and no good cavalry has appeared in so many years.
And this time may not be an opportunity.
Xixia is a branch of the Qiang people. Although its war horses are not as good as Mobei's, they are not in short supply, and they also have a huge land to raise horses.
The first priority for this battle is Hexi Prefecture, which is the land of horse breeding. If not, the second is to form a cavalry capable of fighting.
If it fails again, they will rob the people. There are many experienced herdsmen in Xixia who can be of great use.
Worst of all...the Poxi Army's whirlwind cannon is also what we need.
This march should be carried out with the main force of the Yue Family Army. At the same time, in order to save time, they did not go through Yan'an. They only ordered General Liu Qi to pretend to attack Xixia's Xiping Prefecture and Xiangqing Army from Yan'an.
A certain family immediately rushed to Hedong, and at the same time asked General Wang Yan to garrison Daming Mansion and Guo Yaoshi to command the Hebei Road defense line.
Zhang Xian temporarily commanded the Yue Family Army at this time and asked him to immediately go to Hedong to join a certain family.
We will obtain supplies from the land of the original Fenzhou, and then go to Jinning to directly attack the land of Xiazhou.
Enter from Xiazhou and defeat the enemy from Henan! "
After Yue Fei finished speaking, everyone began to think deeply.
"There are no loopholes in the plan. After all, what we really need to pay attention to is what happens after entering Xixia. How are we going to break the situation on the battlefield.
All that needs to be done now is to allocate food and crops, and to prepare for the golden men. "
Yu Wenxuzhong is in command of the staff. In his opinion, there is no problem with the transfer of all parties, and there will be no accidents. Therefore, he is worried about the next defense issue, which depends on the Ministry of War.
"In fact, there is no need to worry about this." Lu Yihao has already figured it out, "I didn't understand why the golden man was so weird during the peace talks before, but now I seem to understand.
This golden man also needs stability and internal stability. I heard that Wanyan Sheng, the dog thief, is now terminally ill.
The person he appointed as his successor was not his son Wanyan Zongpan, but Han Fang's disciple Wanyan Dan.
In this case, I'm afraid this is the gift Wanyan Quan gave me before he came to power. They need time but don't want me, Da Song, to have time too.
So this Xixia is just a bait quagmire that I have to jump into.
The Jin people will not take action easily, and if a problem really arises, I, the Song Dynasty, can immediately dispatch troops and horses to go forward.
Previously, we had laid off a large number of soldiers and horses, and sent a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to work in the fields to reclaim fields and repair city rivers. Now they have just taken off their armor. If the Jin people really dare to take action, the northern border will be ready immediately. Mobilize 200,000 troops to come out.
You can rush to the front within three days, no need to worry! "
With the money and food from the Ministry of Revenue, the mobilization of the personnel department, the guarantee from the Ministry of War, and the decisions and tactics of the Tiance Mansion, the remaining things will be much easier to handle.
After that, each department once again determined what they needed to do, and Li Gang also got a list of some of the more joyful people who had recently escaped from Wan Qixi and Hu Quan.
After Yue Fei takes action, these guys will definitely want to cause trouble, such as putting their hands on General Tiance's mansion, etc.
Li Gang's responsibility was to put these people down. If he listened to the advice, he would focus on impeachment. If he didn't, he would have to let Wan Qixi send them on their way, and Hu Quan convicted them.
As for the most relaxed person among them, I'm afraid Zhang Jun, the Minister of Rites.
After all, he only said one sentence the whole time.
"Now that the Song Dynasty and Xixia are still allies, I wonder if His Majesty still needs my Ministry of Rites to declare war with him. After all, they can't change their situation without this thing..."
"We are allies, how can we give them a letter of war?
The Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and Yue Fei went there to help Xixia put down the rebellion and resist foreign enemies.
Of course, protecting the people and wealth of our allies is what we, the Song Dynasty, should do as a matter of course. "
After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he felt that he was particularly great, while Zhao Kai asked for orders to follow Yue Fei's military counselor as military aircraft.
If nothing else, the main reason is that Zhao Huan's character really doesn't fit in well with their etiquette department...
Zhao Kai always felt that if he continued to stay in the Ministry of Rites, he might really become decadent, as his royal brother did not follow the rules at all.
The etiquette department has almost become a decoration...
It would be better to be in the army, it feels quite exciting.
