Chapter 73 Chain(2/2)
At first, he thought that some fleeing officials came here and explained the situation of the fall of Xingqing Mansion, causing chaos.
However, after walking a few steps, I met a familiar military colleague, and I couldn't help but take the initiative to communicate. Then, like a bolt from the blue, I was shocked on the spot.
It turned out that after returning to Xiazhou, the two sons of Xiao Heda, the commander-in-chief of Xiazhou, took advantage of the large-scale mobilization of local tribes and scholars to contact and incite the local exiled Khitan tribe and many subordinates who were loyal to Xiao Heda.
When Brother Mingyun hurriedly returned to Longzhou due to an attack on the front line, he immediately raised his troops and declared that his own father had been detained for no reason and that he wanted to rescue his own father.
At this time, there was turmoil in the city, and it was precisely to guard against Xiazhou's troops, because after the enemy gathered thousands of people, they came straight here. It was impossible to say that tonight, there would be a sword fight under the city.
The envoy had no idea how he entered Weiming Renli's official office. He just went in to greet him blankly, explained the situation, and handed over Chage's military order... Poor Weiming Renli, a scholar from the clan whose name has been recorded in history, heard a thunderbolt the day before yesterday.
, it was a thunderbolt again last night, and now it is still a thunderbolt early in the morning, but after summarizing the information, it is completely out of control.
Not counting this, it may be because Xiao Heda has been in charge of the army in Xiazhou for nearly twenty years and has been in charge of the military department for five or six years, so he has a deep foundation. Before Renli could regain his senses, someone else took the initiative early in the morning.
He asked for an audience, and then actually sent a message for Xiao Heda, who was under house arrest.
"Your Majesty (the name of Renli is King Shu of Western Xia)." The latter is a local trainer in Youzhou, a middle-level military officer, and also a Lu Ze (middle-level tribal leader), who is known to the messenger.
, and this man was summoned, went inside and bowed down, and then expressed his sincerity to him. "Heda Tongjun said that his son and subordinates were just dissatisfied that he was imprisoned and had committed a crime for a while. Now that the country is in danger, if he can be released
, he is willing to come forward to appease the disciples and subordinates, and then take them to the Longzhou front line to support... In this way, doesn't it have the best of both worlds?"
Hearing this, Weiming Renli felt that his mind went blank even more, and he actually sat silent for a long time.
After a while, he fell ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, and actually asked the messenger on the other side: "Ahua, what do you think should be done? The King of Jin asked me to take good care of Heda, and Heda and his son were like this
How should I do it?"
The messenger who was called Ahua was speechless for a moment.
For one thing, he was born in a small tribe in Longzhou, and then he was in charge of raising horses at the Youzhou branch of Feilongyuan. It was only because there was a fight at the front that no one was available, so he temporarily acted as an envoy in the military department. How did he know this?
General military affairs?
Of course, normally, he would be happy to curry favor with Wei Mingrenli, but what about now?
Secondly, since this coach came to deliver a message for Heda, he must be involved with Heda... Of course, there are probably few people in Hengshan Qizhou who are not involved with Heda. Even he, the head of Yuzhou Feilongyuan, is also involved.
Heda's eldest son is somewhat related...but the question is, how can His Highness King Shu tell Brother Cha's military order about Heda to the other party?
Since the envoy was silent, the trainer on the side was shocked and kowtowed directly on the ground in the official hall: "The last general was just a subordinate of the Heda Army for many years. He happened to be on duty last night and was called by him to deliver a message. I don't know that Jin
The king has military orders..."
Weiming Renli saw that this person not only did not force him, but actually gave in. On the one hand, he felt a little relieved, but on the other hand, he felt anxious, fearful, and unbearable because of all the news, so he simply waved his hand to signal this person to go down.
But when the man stood up and left, the envoy looked at the commander, but his heart suddenly started to beat wildly.
Without him, at this moment, the envoy just came back to his senses, and then suddenly realized that the reason why this commander was so honest seemed to be because he did not know that Xingqing Mansion had been captured by the Song Dynasty, nor did he know that the king and his son
After losing the news, they didn't even know that Wei Mingcha Ge had led the main force to Lingzhou.
Otherwise, why would you be so frightened?
In fact, at this time, in the east of Youzhou City, only he and King Shu Weiming Renli in front of him knew this information... This was an advantage, but I am afraid that this advantage will be gone tomorrow, and he has to be the Song Dynasty drama
Bi Ma Wen in the game is too warm, and even Bi Ma Wen may not be able to do it.
Because at this time tomorrow, everyone will know all the news, and can Xixia's overall situation be sustained by then?
Now that the news of Xingqing Mansion has not spread, and the power of the king still covers everyone, Xiao Heda's son dares to rebel. When the news spreads, the leaders of the Hengshan tribe will have such people in front of them.
Are you still hesitant?
Then, as if by some strange mistake, when Wei Mingrenli turned around, Ah Hua did not hand back the token, but bowed back together with the coach and left the hall.
And just as Ahua thought, Weiming Renli, who seldom participated in military affairs, was in confusion. Moreover, the government office was also in chaos at this time. He was summoned in a hurry, but he didn't notice this at all.
After turning out of the hall, Ahua and the commander calmly said goodbye, and hurried out of the official office. After seeing the few soldiers waiting for their dismissal, they actually took out the general's command card from their arms again, and then faced each other with awe:
"The king has ordered, you still follow my guard and dispatch."
Of course the few soldiers had nothing to say.
Immediately, Ah Hua got on his horse and led several soldiers to gallop directly to a temple in the city. However, he rushed to the place where Xiao Heda was under house arrest before the commander.
He showed the silver token representing King Shu's identity, and also found out that Ahua was the steward of Feilongyuan directly under the Military Department, and he was known to many locals, so after a brief confirmation, the defenders released the restriction. And Ahua entered the temple in a grand manner.
, but forced himself to remain calm, and simply summoned Xiao Heda in front of the guards, and then once again showed Xiao Heda the military silver medal and the military documents that had been used as the envoy's identity certificate in public, and said to him seriously:
"Heda Commandery, King Shu knows that you asked the coach on duty to send a message last night, and is going to summon you face to face for questioning."
Xiao Heda was in his forties this year, in his prime. He first served as the commander-in-chief of Xiazhou (equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the capital), and served as the commander-in-chief of the Hengshan front line several times. He was no better than Weiming Renli, and he actually begged for help when he was under house arrest.
The leather armor was still with him, but he could see a little problem from the document... But the more problems there were, the more delighted he was.
As for the guards nearby, they had no doubts. They knew about it.
Just like that, amidst the chaos and war in the city, a suddenly aware director of Feilongyuan actually directly controlled a key figure related to the safety of the entire Hengshan.
When he got out of the house, Ahuafu kept his spirits up and made the final arrangements... First, he borrowed a leather helmet with a cowhide mask from the defenders on the grounds that it was inconvenient for Xiao Heda to show up on the street, and then
Just as he set off, he actually went to the official office.
To be honest, Xiao Heda almost thought that he had made a mistake.
But soon, the group of people returned to the government office, with a few guards staying outside. However, Ah Hua took Xiao Heda, who was dressed as an ordinary sergeant, directly into his private room, and then bowed his head... then stood up and whispered to each other,
He only said a few extremely simple words, and the other party, a Khitan general who had led the army for twenty years, was stunned on the spot:
"Capital, Xingqing Mansion has been lost, the father and son of the country have lost their traces, Jin Wang Chage led the army back to Lingzhou, Shu Wangrenli has lost his sense of proportion, Song Jundudu Wu Jie is under Hongzhou City, Guo Hao is under Longzhou
At the foot of the city, your two sons have already raised an army... Don't say anything now, follow me out of the side door and go directly to Feilongyuan, where I lead, to get your horses, and I will take you out of the city!"
After a few words, Ah Hua was already covered in sweat, and why wasn't Xiao Heda the same?
The two of them almost forced their bodies, turned around and went out. Sure enough, they went out through the side door, entered Feilongyuan to get their horses, and then easily passed through the city gate with a silver medal. However, they headed straight to Xiazhou in the northeast. When they reached the three-way intersection, they met
Xiazhou rebellion.
At this point, Xiao Heda took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, and then marched into the army boldly. First, he rewarded Ahua with all his wealth and silk, and then ordered to return to Xiazhou!
It's not that he doesn't want to attack Youzhou, but that with the thousands of troops mobilized by his sons, there is no way he can defeat Youzhou. He has made preparations, but if he, Xiao Heda, goes back to Xiazhou in person to gather the tribes, he will be unable to do so in a moment.
Gathering together an army of over ten thousand people can be regarded as a true army.
When the time comes, he still won't fight against Youzhou, he will fight against Longzhou and Hongzhou!
This day is April 17th.
On that day, the Song army's progress was still difficult.
On April 18, the Song army was still defeated in the hinterland of Xixia... It even encountered a large-scale counterattack in the direction of Yanzhou, forcing Yang Zheng, the magistrate of Huanzhou, to retreat hastily. Originally, Wu Jie personally supervised the battle, and Hong, who was making the fastest progress,
In the prefecture area, it became less convenient because of the return trip of the guard general Wei Mingyun.
But on April 19th, the Song Army suddenly received strong support from many Hengshan tribes. They were no longer perfunctory. Many tribes following Xixia also wanted to withdraw to the mountains. The resistance faced by the Song Army suddenly relaxed.
Of course Wu Jie knew what was going on. The day before, he had verified his thoughts from the exact military report behind him, and then he slept more and more peacefully.
On the 20th, more Tibetan tribes chose to follow the Song army. As soon as these people returned to the mountains, they wiped the blood on their weapons, took their stored grain, war horses, and equipment to the Song army camp, just like a few days ago.
They were not the same ones who fought bravely with the Song army.
In this regard, Wu Jie would not refuse anyone who came.
And that evening, Longzhou suddenly fell... Xiao Heda had arranged for the secret agent to open the city gate a few months earlier. Then Guo Hao and Xiao Heda joined forces in the city, and then without stopping for a while, headed toward Hongzhou in the southwest.
Come.
Brother Wei Mingyun, who had only been back for two days, was in such a miserable state that he had no choice but to abandon the city and leave.
So far, the seven states of Hengshan, including Hongzhou, Longzhou and Xiazhou in the middle, have fallen and been broken into two parts as if their hearts were disemboweled. The Hengshan defense line, which the Xixia people have been operating for more than a hundred and decades, has fallen.
Xingqing Mansion was lost and fell into a state of collapse at an increasingly faster speed.
First there was turmoil in the hearts of the people, then there was the transfer of troops, then there was the invasion of old enemies, and through the exposure of internal dangers, it finally turned into the real fall of the city and the collapse of the defense line.
All this happened in just five days.
Back in front of us, since Wu Jie has joined forces with Guo Hao and Xiao Heda, plus countless rebels, the total number is no less than 40,000, and he will naturally march into Youzhou and Yanzhou in a large scale.
But at this time, he heard another news that made him a little panic at this time - the officials led the imperial camp Zuojun Jieyuan and two generals Yue Chao, a total of 7,000 people, and went northward against the Luoshui River. They passed the day before yesterday
They didn't stop in Yanzhou, but continued northward, turning west from the Diaoyin Mountain Camp, and were almost at the Security Army.
At the same time, behind Shengjia were the Huyantong tribe, as well as the Zhai Cong and Dong Xian tribes supported by Li Yanxian, with a total of 7,000 people coming here.
Apparently, this official finally knew the news about Xingqing Mansion, and he had more confidence in Yue Fei than he did... However, in panic, Wu Jie had to admit that with the arrival of this news, the various tribes in Hengshan,
Surrender faster.
Xiao Heda, who was originally a bit unruly, suddenly became more honest.
"Xiao Dutong has done great work, and the emperor has summoned him to reward him face to face." After thinking for a moment, Wu Jie gathered the generals in Hongzhou City early the next morning, and then falsely delivered an imperial edict to Xiao Heda in public. "Long Ji.
Just in the Baoan Army, you can arrive in a day... Youzhou is already in a panic, just let your sons lead the troops and go with the town to fight, and we can all go to collect the reward."
Xiao Heda, who had just ended his house arrest for just over three days, had the intention to decline, but he didn't know how to refuse.
Chapter completed!
