Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh generals differences
Wang Shao looked at Zhang Yue with sharp eyes, but pressed his hand to the handle of the knife.
Zhang Yue frowned when he saw Wang Shao's actions. Although he thought Wang Shao didn't dare to take action, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.
However, Zhang Yue stared at the opponent without giving an inch, shocking Wang Shao with his eyes.
Wang Shao finally put down the sword handle and said angrily: "She is very kind to Wang. If you really want me, Wang Shao, to send troops to fight across the Yellow River, I can just say a word. Why do you need to use this kind of behavior to provoke the general?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Wang Shao, the subtext of your words is that I will lead the army across the Yellow River to repay your original kindness, and we will owe nothing to each other.
The truly mean and ungrateful people are not the ones who are really ungrateful, but they just find any excuses to repay their kindness to you.
Zhang Yue said: "Zichun, you have also seen the imperial edict of the official family. It is not the intention of someone in my Zhang family."
Wang Shao put his hands behind his back and said, "Can Shiren capture Dingxi City and then go north?"
Zhang Yue said: "If we can't capture Dingxi City in a short time, we have to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements. How can the Xixia people be willing to send troops to save Dingxi City for the sake of a son-in-law?"
While talking.
A soldier came to report: "Report the message from Han Jinglue!"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh when he opened the letter, and then gave the letter to Wang Shao.
Wang Shao was surprised after reading the letter: "Guo Kui actually came to Qinzhou?"
Zhang Yue said: "Yes, in terms of general talent, no one can match Guo Kui. Now it would be a pity to be idle because he opposed the attack on Hengshan. Therefore, before setting off from Yanzhou, I suggested to Han Xuanxiang and asked the Privy Council to come forward.
Transfer Guo Kui to be the commander-in-chief of troops and horses at Qinfeng Road!"
Wang Shao thought to himself, yes, Zhang Yue's father-in-law is currently the deputy privy envoy, and Han Jiang thinks highly of him. For him, appointing Guo Kui to be the commander-in-chief of troops and horses at Qinfeng Road is like drinking water and eating.
Wang Shao said: "But although Guo Kui is a famous general in the Western Army, he has always been at odds with me. Why did Shiren send him here to do it?"
Zhang Yue said: "Aren't you worried that after crossing the Yellow River, Yu Zanghuama will come out of Dingxi City to cut off our army's retreat? I then asked Guo Kui to be the commander-in-chief of troops and horses on Qinfeng Road, and lead the army out of Gangu City, pass through Tongwei Village, and include
Take control of Xicheng."
"It can not only relieve our worries, but also make Huizhou and Qinzhou become one and the same!"
When Wang Shao saw this, he immediately laughed and said: "Okay, with Guo Kui sending troops, my worries have been solved. In this way, there is no need to worry about sending troops to cross the river."
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao immediately reached an agreement.
So Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Wang Hou selected 2,000 Song troops and 13,000 elite cavalry from various tribes to cross the Yellow River. The remaining troops were led by Liu Xishi, Gao Zunyu, and Yu Longke to continue the siege of Dingxi City.
The place chosen by Zhang Yue and Wang Shao to cross the river was at Dalachi, also known as Dashengchuan.
Why is it called Dashengchuan? Because it is rich in splendens splendens. The so-called mat splendens is the current splendens splendens. After the pole is soaked in water, it has great toughness.
And the rope made of splendens is a must-have for crossings of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River here is narrow and there are many canyons. Floating bridges can be built to cross the Yellow River.
But when Zhang Yue and Wang Shao arrived with their troops, they saw many Xixia cavalry patrolling on the other side of the Yellow River. This scene was really unexpected.
Seeing the Song army appear on the other side of the river, the Xixia cavalry lit up nearby smoke and called for the Xia army further away to come and block the Song army from crossing the river.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao both looked at each other when they saw this scene. Xixia had long been prepared to cross the Yellow River.
Wang Hou rode back from the river and said, "Send soldiers to explore further downstream!"
Soon the soldiers reported back: "The rangers were intercepted by the Tibetan army and more than ten people were killed."
When Wang Shao inquired, he learned that Yuzang Yingqin Saler of Yuzang's family, the defender of Darel City, took advantage of the Song army's cavalry to attack and intercept them unexpectedly.
Wang Shao was furious when he heard about it and immediately led his army to Darel City.
When the guard saw Wang Shao's army approaching, he stayed behind closed doors. No matter how Wang Shao tried to challenge him, the Tibetan army did not move at all.
Seeing this, Song Jun cursed but had no choice but to do anything.
That night, King Shao of Zhangyue garrisoned his troops at the foot of Dalecheng.
The Xia army also camped from the other side of the Yellow River, and the campfire even illuminated the faces of the Xixia people on the other side. Many Xixia soldiers were drinking and having fun in front of the campfire, as if they didn't even notice the Song army on the other side of the river.
Wang Hou saw this scene and said angrily: "Dad, I will lead more than a hundred soldiers to cross from the lower reaches in a small boat to kill such a birdman."
Wang Shao said: "Why are you so anxious? I didn't see that the Xixia people were luring the enemy. Even though there are only a few dozen people on the river, there are probably thousands of people hiding in the valley behind. Are you going to die by crossing the river?"
After a pause, Wang Shao said: "Since Xixia has noticed our army's intention to cross the river, I think it will be difficult to cross the river."
Zhang Yue remained silent. Is Wang Shao trying to back down?
Wang Shao and Zhang Yue were also sitting around the bonfire, and they threw a few dead branches into the bonfire.
The Xixia cavalry was discovered on the other side of the Yellow River, which gave the two men a reason to retreat. Han Tong, who was following Zhang Yue, was silent. Crossing the river rashly was very risky?
But he and Zhang Yue were unable to communicate with Han Jiang.
When Zhang Yue was thinking of a solution, the surroundings fell into silence.
Wang Shao suddenly threw his whip at the tunnel and said: "We can't wait like this any longer!"
Wang Hou said: "What dad said is, let's give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, the officials will explain it."
Wang Shao scolded: "Who said we have to cross the river?"
Han Tong made lewd remarks and said, "Is Wang Fupan going to give up halfway?"
Everyone thought that Han Tong, the 'Supervisory Army', was too lenient.
Wang Shao said: "Since I have promised to send troops, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never give up halfway!"
"Bring me the picture!"
Wang Shao immediately took the cowhide map, and everyone relied on the bonfire to illuminate it. They watched Wang Shao draw on the map and said: "Since there is no hope of crossing the Yellow River north, we might as well take the road and climb over Quwu Mountain in front of us!"
But I saw Wang Shao pointing eastward.
Looking at Wang Shao's firm eyes, everyone looked as if there was a huge mountain standing there in the dark night.
Wang Shao said something earth-shattering: "The foot of Quwu Mountain is the sacred land of the Xia people. The foundation of farming, animal husbandry, clothing and food is Tiandu Mountain, which is regarded as a safe place by the country."
When they heard that Wang Shao was going to attack Tiandu Mountain, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Where is Tiandu Mountain? It is the barrier of the southern border of Xixia and the forward position for attacking the Song army.
At the beginning, Li Yuanhao led his army to invade the south several times. He gathered troops from all walks of life at this point to invade the Song Dynasty.
In the first year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao sent troops here and defeated the Song army in Haoshuichuan. Song general Ren Fu and others suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
In the second year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao gathered 100,000 troops and sent troops from Tiandu Mountain to attack Sichuan Village. Song general Ge Huaimin was killed and wounded and nearly 10,000 people were captured.
This was the place where Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia Dynasty strategized for his several southern invasions. Li Yuanhao was also a lustful man. After he took in his concubine and did not move his clan, he built seven palaces here, which are extremely magnificent and have complete treasuries and buildings.
Therefore, this was also the place where Li Yuanhao visited during his visit, and where the Xixia Palace was located, making it possible to go to war and pick up girls.
Now that Wang Shao saw the failure of crossing the Yellow River north, he actually said that he would cross Quwu Mountain and attack Tiandu Mountain, where Xixia's old nest was.
Everyone was stunned by his idea.
This is stirring up a hornet's nest!
But Zhang Yue said: "No!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yue. Did Wang Shao and Wang Shao have differences again?
