In November, all preparations were made.
The Yulin Army, which had rested for more than a month, was the first to move.
Under the command of Yue Hongling, they rushed to Qinzhou at the speed of a rapid march. Together with Han Shizhong's Longwu Army, they deployed at least 20,000 soldiers at the junction of the Hengshan front line.
After the two received the battle order, they immediately divided into two groups, marching all the way to the southeast along the Luoshui River, that is, Pingchuan; all the way to the northwest, that is, when Li Linfu was in power, they were attacked by Brother Richard. Move forward from the occupied fixed edge.
The scale of the war can be regarded as a large-scale battle at present. After all, this is a national war that directly attacks the Xixia Rebellion.
It is another war that the prince of the country is personally fighting. Whether it is in name, in terms of military affairs, or in terms of the turmoil in all parties as the year is approaching, it is very, very big.
It shocked almost everyone.
Let us say that since the founding of the country, in order to stabilize the border and stabilize the Central Plains, Daqian has formulated a policy to manage the border, which is to hoe the strong and support the weak. Whoever is strong will unite to fight, and whoever is weak will be supported and It goes without saying that there has never been a conclusion about who he wants to destroy in one fell swoop.
Although Daqian and Xixia often reached short-term peace in name, due to the hundreds of years of war, their hatred was deeper than the sea and higher than the mountains.
This is the same as Daqian and Meng Yuan, Beiyan, and Jin people. They all have blood feuds.
You must know that the founding of the previous Sui Dynasty only lasted a hundred years, but what was before the Sui Dynasty?
Naturally, everyone knows it very well.
The reason why Da Qian was able to inherit the throne and convince the people of the world was because the Xiao family were orthodox Central Plains people and they had the blood of Yan and Huang.
In addition, the governance of the Central Plains over the years has been benevolent, righteous and caring for the people, making the country prosperous and the people strong.
Therefore, the Xiao family is still the royal family of the Central Plains, and has always been popular.
This is why neither Li Yuan nor Dong Zhuo could form a real power to separate the feudal lords.
Because the people still believe in big work.
Now, Da Qian has announced that he will pacify Xixia, completely resolve this northern vassal state, make it completely surrender, and include Xi Xia in Da Qian's territorial map.
Naturally there was some vibration.
The reason why the people were shocked was because they were more afraid and worried. They had finally lived a good life again, so who would want to take the initiative to start a war?
Once you can't win.
Wouldn't that mean we have to be displaced again?
Taizu Daqian was so civilized and martial, but he could only set a border policy of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak.
Taizong was such an emperor through the ages, but he could only obey his will.
But now, the prince of the prison country actually fought out, and launched an attack against Xixia's serious troops at the same time.
After Yue Hongling took action, the rest of the Forbidden Army also kept moving.
After Han Shizhong arrived in Pingchuan, he directly faced Xixia's Western Army. When the two sides met, a war was inevitable.
In fact, Han Shizhong's original intention was to test it out first. Knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle. However, it turned out that the opponent seemed to know that they were on the battlefield and wanted to strike first. Not long after he had reorganized his army, the Xixia West Route Army came directly to attack.
However, it was Han Shizhong who was not in a hurry at all and was giving orders while eating mutton steamed buns.
From Qinzhou to Lanzhou, he led the Xiang Army and Fan Army and continued to set off. When he arrived at Pingchuan, it was not considered a rush march.
There is still some preparation.
The Xixia side clearly felt the pressure. Yue Hongling, Han Shizhong, the prince's army, and tens of thousands of elite troops appeared in the Hengduan Mountains, equipped with both horse and foot. Then they seemed to use Haiyuan as their base camp and began to build the city in the border area. Zhai launched an attack.
It can be said that Daqian's counterattack came violently, quickly and decisively.
Although Han Shizhong encountered a surprise battle, he remained calm and directly won the first true vanguard battle between Daqian and Xixia.
In this battle, Brother Richard's vanguard army of more than 10,000 people was killed and fled. In the end, only more than 2,000 people returned to the central army.
And this made Li Qianshun, who was in a difficult situation due to the sudden outbreak of the war, feel some regret.
This man ascended the throne at a young age and outsmarted Xixia, thus slowly restoring its vitality to a ruined Xixia.
So much so that I had thoughts that I shouldn’t have.
Then, I saw Meng Yuan and Beiyan unite to swallow up Jindi, and then met Meng Yuan's envoy, and was persuaded by the other party.
In other words, he originally tasted the sweetness of power, which led to greater ambition.
Seeing that Meng Yuan and Beiyan seemed to want to swallow Daqian, they naturally couldn't help it and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Daqian's Long Youdao.
He knew that Meng Yuan seemed to want to use himself as a sword to test Da Gan's military prowess.
However, after thinking about it, I finally felt that Daqian was already suffering from internal troubles. If he did not agree to Meng Yuan's alliance now, Meng Yuan and Beiyan would not be able to benefit from it in the future.
The key is that Meng Yuan's cavalry is really too strong.
On the Dagan side, Han Shizhong won the first battle, but he did not rush forward. Instead, he stationed troops in Pingchuan. Within a few days, Yue Hongling also encountered a war. It was the vanguard of the East Route Army of Weiming Anhui who raided. Yue Hongling's department.
However, Yue Hongling's Yulin army lured the enemy deeper, ambushed them, and destroyed them all.
True total annihilation.
Not even a single prisoner was left.
Whether it is Yue Hongling or Han Shizhong, the offensive has obviously become smoother.
At this time, Li Qianshun really didn't dare to mobilize troops from the Hengshan defense line, because if there was a mistake and a field defeat occurred, even if it was only more than 10,000 troops, it would likely lead to a chain effect, and ultimately the whole game would be lost. situation.
After only a few days of fighting, the experienced leader of the Xixia Kingdom fully realized the reality that today's imperial army was even stronger.
His sword had already been drawn, but the opponent's sword was already powerful enough to shatter his sword.
In the midst of suffering, Li Qianshun's only hope was Meng Yuan. Letters asking for help began one after another, sent as quickly as possible from Xingqing Mansion, from behind Hengshan to Ha and Hulin, the capitals of Meng Yuan.
However, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without even a splash of water being stirred up.
The support Meng Yuan promised has not yet been seen.
However, Xixia had to get the benefits that Meng Yuan had promised.
Let’s look at it now.
Xixia simply does not have that strength.
Civil strife?
Who said that?
Li Qianshun now really wants to go back to that day, kill Meng Yuan's envoy directly, and offer it to the prince who oversees the country in Chang'an, the capital of Daqian, and then offer tribute like Meng Yuan to show his loyalty.
Unfortunately, I can't go back.
Xixia just indulged the soldiers and thieves and took back the merchants, just as a test.
The prince who was supervising the country in Daqian made a decisive decision and went directly to the expedition himself.
After all.
The world today is truly in chaos.
Whether Meng Yuan, Bei Yan, or Da Gan, they all have the ambition to completely dominate the world, and they may also have that strength.
But Li Qianshun was in Xixia, and he couldn't see clearly the general trend of the world, nor could he see himself clearly. He had ambitions but no strength, and became a victim.
Let's say that Xiao Yi once again led the prince's personal army, led by the East Palace Guards, followed by some elites from the North Ya Forbidden Army and the South Ya Forbidden Army. In fact, the troops were united into one.
On the capital side, Yueshan will naturally be guarded by the elite Long Guard Army, and Luoyang will naturally be guarded by An Zijun's Xiao Guard Army to prevent Zhao Xuanjia and King Kang.
Of course, this time, there is no need to be too cautious. There is also a loophole left and deliberately sold to Zhao Xuanjia and King Kang.
After all, King Xiao Zheng of Yan is sitting in Jiangdong.
Just as Xiao Yi's prince's army began to move northward, Xiao Zheng, who was stationed in Jiankang on the east side of the Yangtze River, met Shen Yilun, the envoy from Jingzhou.
