Human potential is unlimited, especially in desperate situations.∑
However, the country is composed of people, so the country naturally also has this characteristic.
After Wanyan Zongwang captured Ganzhou, he made great progress, defeated the Xixia army in Xiliang Mansion, and captured Xiliang Mansion. At this point, half of the Xixia country had fallen. In this way, the Jin army only needed to cross the Yellow River, or
After breaking through Helan Mountain, you can reach Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.
Wanyan Zongwang was in high spirits at this time. Taking advantage of the high morale, he divided his troops into two groups and personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Helan Mountain. The other group was led by Liu Yanzong with a force of 30,000 to attack Yingli City, the most important town on the west bank of the Yellow River in Xixia.
That is the area of Zhongwei in Ningxia in later generations.
If Helan Mountain is broken, then Xingqing Mansion will be in danger. If Yingli City is broken, the Jin army can cross the Yellow River and attack the original capital of Xixia, Xiping Mansion.
These two places are indispensable for Xixia!
In fact, the loss of the northern zone will not cause a devastating blow to Xixia in a short period of time, because the most important thing in Xixia in the northwest is the Hexi Corridor, and the Hexi Corridor is important because of the roads. In fact, most of them are deserts.
The truly developed areas of Xixia are around the Hetao area and Helan Mountain.
The agriculture in this area is expected to be developed and the population is dense. It is the granary of Xixia, and its geographical location is excellent, especially Xingqing Mansion. There is Helan Zhigu in the north, and the Yellow River flows to the southeast, guarding the key points of the western frontier, which is easy to defend and difficult to defend.
attack.
At this time when the country is about to survive, the Emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun, can only go into battle. He commands the three armies, mobilizes the power of the whole country, and claims to the outside world that he has an army of 500,000. Of course, this is bragging. Whether Xixia still has so many strong men, he has to fight for it.
Question mark, even if the logistics army is included, it may be about 150,000. In Helan Mountain, the Yellow River generation fought a decisive battle with the Jin army.
The emperor personally led the expedition. The party members' morale was greatly boosted. Relying on their absolute geographical advantages, they finally withstood Wanyan Zongwang's fierce attack and resisted the enemy to the north of Helan Mountain.
Wanyan Zongwang was also very helpless about this. This woman was really afraid of mountains and rivers when fighting. This was simply a nightmare for the cavalry, but Xingqing Mansion was hidden in them. You either had to cross the river or fail the mountain. There was really no way.
A piece of plain allowed Wanyan Zongwang to reach Xingqing Mansion directly, and he had to break this hard nut.
But Li Qianshun was not a simple person. The emperor was quite capable, capable of literary and military skills, and he wanted to be very good at diplomatic strategies. That is to say, he met Li Qi, a bad guy. This caused a setback in diplomacy and attracted the Jin army to attack, but in
Under his command and encouragement, the Dangxiang people were able to stabilize the situation and were not defeated by Wanyan Zongwang. Moreover, the fertile farmland was here, and Li Qianshun was not afraid of running out of food. Anyway, he just couldn't hold on, so we will just waste it.
If we march so far, we will definitely not be able to supply food. The further down we go, the better it will be for us.
At the same time, the army led by Wanyan Xiyin, who was on the road, was also rushing towards the Hetao area. As long as the Hetao area was opened, he could join Wanyan Zonghan in Yunzhou and attack Xingqing Mansion from the Hetao area. This would be better than Wanyan Zongwang.
Hit too much.
But the Dangxiang people also understood this. The Hetao area must not be lost, otherwise the upper reaches of the Yellow River would fall into the hands of the Jin people. They also sent heavy troops to defend a key city in the Hetao area - Wucahai City.
Troops were stationed on the east bank of the Yellow River to prevent Wanyan Xiyin from crossing the river.
Wanyan Xiyin came all the way here, but there were no ships. He could only rely on looting or temporarily building ships. He finally built the ships, and then used the ships he grabbed from the east and west to build a boat bridge and prepare for an attack by land and water.
However, the Dangxiang people were well prepared and had a large number of ships in their hands. On the Yellow River, they repeatedly repelled Wanyan Xiyin's offensive.
Although Wanyan Xiyin was smart, he could not disobey the difficulties brought by nature. Looking at the Yellow River in front of him, he shook his head and sighed.
So far, the three offensives of the Jin Army have been tenaciously defended by the Dangxiang people. Although the losses are huge, holding on is victory.
As for the Jin Kingdom, although they were in an advantageous position and their army was superior, they were not defeated by the Dangxiang people, but by the mountains and rivers.
It can be seen that Li Yuanhao is indeed a military genius. It was he who advocated moving the capital to Xingqing Mansion at the beginning. However, his decision can be regarded as saving Xixia's life today. However, the war is still going on. This is just a change from Zhanli Decisive.
It became a reprieve.
However, this news soon reached Bianliang, Tokyo, and the Xixia war was once again on the agenda. In addition, Xixia's envoys were also rushing to the Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Kai learned the news, he immediately held a confidential meeting.
Zhao Kai glanced at Qin Hui and others and said: "Xixia is already in danger. If the Jin army is allowed to break through Helan Mountain, then Xingqing Mansion will be in danger. We must not let the Jin army succeed, otherwise, it will definitely bring disaster to our Song Dynasty.
The disaster is estimated, and there are urgent reports from the Hehuang area. After Wanyan Zongwang's defeat at Helan Mountain, he divided his troops and went south, which can already endanger Xining Prefecture, our important city in the Hehuang area. I have decided to fight against the Jin Kingdom with the Xixia Alliance. At the same time,
Send troops to Yanyun to fight to the death with the Kingdom of Jin. In addition, I have decided to go north to Yanyun in person and lead the expedition myself."
What was mentioned above has been decided a long time ago, but except for Qin Hui, no one thought that Zhao Kai actually wanted to conquer it personally.
Li Gang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. It is too dangerous for the imperial commander to go on a personal expedition. If anything goes wrong, the country, the country, and the country will be destroyed in one day."
Zheng Yi also said: "Now our Song soldiers are well-fed and have not reached a desperate situation. The situation is actually very good. There is no need for a personal expedition."
Chen Dong, who had just been recalled from the meeting, also hurriedly advised: "If the emperor is the leader of the expedition, what will happen to the country and the country? This country cannot be without a king for a day. Please put the country, the country and the country as the most important thing and take back the order."
"I also ask the emperor to put the country, the country and the country first and take back the order."
Except for Qin Hui, all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
The emperor's personal expedition was no joke, and Yanyun was an ominous place for the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Song Taizong died on Yanyun during the Northern Expedition. If anything happened to Zhao Kai, the entire Song Dynasty might be destroyed overnight.
collapse in between.
What's more important is that now there is no need for the imperial commander to personally conquer.
But the ministers didn't know that Zhao Kai had been waiting for this day. He wanted to have a rematch with Wanyan Zongwang, and defeat Wanyan Zongwang in an upright manner. The shame of Yanshan Mansion still lingers in his heart, and it has become a problem in his heart.
If you want to get rid of this inner demon, you must first face this inner demon. He is not afraid of life and death, and is very excited. He waved his hand and said: "If we don't win this battle, how can we talk about the country and the country? This battle
For me, the Song Dynasty, it is of vital importance and cannot be lost. I have made up my mind. Please don’t try to persuade me. Even if I don’t become the emperor, I will go north to fight against the Kingdom of Jin. What’s more, I am determined to win.
"
When Zheng Yi and others heard that Zhao Kai was not even an emperor, but wanted to fight this battle himself, they knew that it would be difficult to change Zhao Kai's mind. They couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to persuade him.
Suddenly, they all looked at Qin Hui, who was still standing.
Qin Hui had known for a long time that he would do such a useless thing. But he still said: "But Your Majesty, at this time, we have not terminated the alliance with the Jin Kingdom. If the Emperor's personal expedition is carried out, it will definitely disturb the Jin Kingdom and the country will be disturbed."
The people are panicked.”
Mao Shu also thought that Qin Hui had used a slow-down strategy to hold off Zhao Kai first, so he quickly agreed: "Young Master is right, this matter should be discussed in the long run."
Zhao Kai nodded slightly and said: "Then I wonder if Shaozai has any suggestions?"
Qin Hui said: "Why doesn't the emperor go to Yanyun secretly first, and when the time comes, he can declare to the outside world that he will conquer the country personally?"
Mao Shu was stunned when he heard this. I bet you told the emperor not to go!
Li Gang said: "How can this work? If the emperor does not go to court, he will definitely attract criticism from the ministers. This is not enough at all."
Qin Hui said confidently: "Since the emperor came to the throne, it seems that he has never worshiped Emperor Taizong. Why not use this as an excuse to say that he would go to the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Taizong in Henan Prefecture to worship, and then quietly go north to Yanyun, like this
Once you come, you can hide it for a while."
"This is a good idea! Before my ancestor passed away, he was still worried about Yan Yun. I believe my ancestor will forgive me for my unfilial piety."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Let's do it."
"emperor---."
Li Gang also wanted to dissuade him.
Zhao Kai raised his hand and said: "I don't want to say it a second time. I have already made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore." After that, he said to Qin Hui: "Young Master, I will leave it to you regarding ancestor worship.
Already."
"I obey my orders."
Zhao Kai thought to the officials again: "After I leave the capital, Qin Shaozai will handle government affairs for me. You must also abide by your duties, perform your duties, and help me manage the country well."
Qin Hui heard a slightly proud smile on his lips, but Li Gang looked shocked and complained in his heart. I bumped into him many times in front of him. How can I have a good life when he is in power today? I was about to say something to stop Zhao Kai.
, but was pulled back by Zheng Yi, and all the ministers said in unison: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness. I am here to wait for the emperor's triumphant return. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
As soon as he left the house, Li Gang immediately found Zheng Yi and said, "Secretary Commander, why did you hold me back just now?"
Zheng Yi said in a low voice: "It's obvious that Qin Hui has long known that the emperor wants to lead the expedition in person, and this matter must have been decided long ago. With the emperor's character, once the decision is made, it cannot be changed at all. You can make further comments
Stopping it will only make Qin Hui hate you even more."
Li Gang heard what he said was reasonable, and said: "But --- but now the Privy Council has left. If the emperor leaves again, Qin Hui will definitely have the power, and our life will not be easy."
Zheng Yi narrowed his eyes and said: "So we must unite. You control the judiciary, and I control the finances. If the Legislative Yuan is also included, there is no need to be afraid of Qin Hui."
