Chapter 1521 Two old acquaintances, one is still a brother, the other will be a mortal enemy
Judging from the current situation, the Jin army had already conquered Bianliang in Tokyo during the first southern invasion of the Jingkang Rebellion. Therefore, before Li Xiaozhong had time to write an impeachment letter to Li Gang when he was declaring peace between the two rivers, criticizing him for not knowing how to use troops, he was instead attacked.
Pursued by the imperial court, he had no choice but to change his name to Li Yanxian and escape. When the Jin army tried to annex the entire Hedong Road, he surrendered to the army again... But is he still showing up in Shaanzhou to resist the Jin army's siege?
Xiao Tang was a little surprised when he heard the report of the battle, but later he also learned that the Jingnan Army he had organized and trained in Hedong involved his former commander in betraying the imperial court, as well as other lieutenant generals such as Wang Jin and Niu Gao.
He also defected and fled, seemingly to prevent other generals from still having some relationship with him, the leader who had rebelled against the imperial court. The Jingnan Army and Horse Infantry Army were divided into two parts. One part was transferred to Yan'an Prefecture on Yanyan Road with Li Yongqi, and the other part was still there.
Li Xiaozhong and the Dang brothers stayed at Rongbian in Hedong.
What happened next is consistent with official history in many ways. The Song Dynasty once again committed the old habit of using civil servants to control military affairs, especially the old habit of interfering and even suppressing military generals with civil servants who had little knowledge of military affairs. Originally, Li Xiaozhong led the imperial army to march eastward.
Fan Zhixu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, advised that when passing through Shaanzhou in the east, it is difficult to garrison troops in the Komian area, although it is dangerous and dangerous. They should advance in separate ways, otherwise they will not be flooded and defeated, otherwise the crowds will rush out to eat and drink.
The danger could easily lead to the collapse of the entire army. As a result, Fan Zhixu rebelled because Li Yanxian was greedy for life and fearful of death, and was frustrated with the morale of the army. He, a knight-errant, was dismissed from his post, but he still recruited rebels to replenish his soldiers, and also instigated Jing Nan.
The old army recaptured the city when the Jin army captured the Shaanxi Prefecture. When the defender, General Wang Xie, led his troops to escape, they recaptured the city. They immediately recruited a large number of local people, village warriors, and anti-Jin rebels from all over the surrounding areas to prepare for the battle.
Fighting against the Jin army.
The Song Dynasty was delighted to hear that Li Xiaozhong had regained the strategic territory of the military strategists in the west, and they also granted him the title of magistrate of Shaanxi Province and pacification envoy, promoted to Military Festival Master, and praised others in the pavilion... Li Xiaozhong was finally reused by the imperial court.
, but no matter how great the official title is, the military power at hand is still insufficient. To defend a mere military state in Shaanzhou, reinforcements are still needed to ensure that there is no risk.
Just according to the track in the official history, although there are still various Western armies stationed in the Jingyuan area of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Shaanxi, but due to the differences between factions and the different thoughts of some people, I am afraid that Li Xiaozhong in Shaanxi Province will have to be independent and struggling to support it.
Due to the current situation, we cannot expect reinforcements from the Song Army to come to rescue for the time being...
Xiao Tang secretly thought, although the current war situation is not as dangerous as the original trajectory, in the official history, the Northern Song Dynasty was already dead, and when Guandong fell, only Li Yanxian was left in the area east of Tongguan. When the crisis came, he broke out as a military commander.
The general's outstanding ability in commanding the volunteer army to fight defensive battles led to a desperate resistance for two years, which prevented the Jin soldiers from marching straight into the Central Plains. Facing a hundred thousand Jin soldiers, they still died heroically. Even now he is facing the pressure of the Jin army's fierce attack.
It was so dangerous in the official history, but the killing opportunities of the two armies were changing rapidly. There were too many changes in the war situation now, and it was difficult to predict what changes would occur that would cause the Jin Army to invade that important military territory again.
Coupled with the friendship between Pao Ze and Li Xiaozhong, it is said that if there are still people in the Song Army who are still unwilling to send troops to reinforce Shaanxi Province, it is their duty to send troops and horses to rush to the rescue. However, Taiyuan City, which is heavily surrounded to the north,
And I am afraid that Mr. Souchong, who is now forced to lead his troops into the death zone of the military strategist... is also like putting out fires. If it is necessary to disperse the military strength to rush to the north and south for reinforcements, how should we deploy it?
"Brother! Even if Shaanzhou cannot be defeated overnight, but brother Li Xiaozhong leads the lone army to defend it, we will never be able to prove that there are losses in the rear of the battlefield in Hedong. I don't want to see the past when Pao Ze was unable to survive alone! I am willing to ask for orders to lead the army.
Troops of troops went to Shaanzhou to help.
What's more, although brother Li Xiaozhong did not join hands with his brother because of his reputation as a strong man in the green forest, they have already reached the end of the year. If the Song army is still unable to do anything, and his brother has the title of commander-in-chief promised by the court to resist the Jin Dynasty, he must have died.
Being able to persuade brother Li Xiaozhong to join us will make us join forces and do great things together!"
When Xiao Tang was about to think about it, Niu Gao jumped out to ask for his orders. Originally, they were all colleagues who had served in the Jingnan Army. Moreover, Li Xiaozhong was praised as a knight-errant with an open mind and righteousness. During the Song-Xia National War, at first
He first fought side by side with Niu Gao, who was obeying orders under Xiao Tang's tent. With this deep friendship, Li Xiaozhong's military situation was critical, and Niu Gao, a straightforward and righteous man, was of course determined not to sit on the sidelines.
Li Xiaozhong, who had fought side by side in the past and was quite confidant with each other, and now he had also recruited antibacterial martyrs from all over the surrounding areas, and was very good at fighting defensive battles, was able to recruit him to join the army, and Xiao Tang was of course happy to see it happen. Sifu
After a while, Xiao Tang made up his mind and said immediately: "Of course we can't just teach brother Niu Gao to lead his troops to Shaanzhou for reinforcements and destroy Han Wu. Then you can command the reinforcements and lead the rampaging army to fight with Niu Gao.
The Gao brothers went together... as well as the Taihang Mountain Chain Village, and the anti-Jin Zhongyi and Social Protection Rebels recruited from Heshuo... This trip to Shaanzhou was not only to rescue Li Xiaozhong and relieve the siege, but also to
We must clean up and clean up the Jin army that is rushing behind us to avoid future troubles!"
After hearing this, Niu Gao immediately beamed with joy, and immediately straightened his back and loudly accepted the order. As for Pohan Wuhan Shizhong raised his head, his uninhibited smile showed on his face as always: "This is a good way to chase love, although Sajia is happy to do it.
All the brothers worked hard and made great achievements. At that time, few of the military ministers looked at me Po Han Wu, but after all, the Sa family was still a soldier from the Western Army. A straight mother, now seeing the Western Army being pulled away from the East
After these few battles, the Sa family became jealous. Now my brother has entrusted me with the important task. This battle must defeat the Tatars besieging Shaanzhou. Not only must we save the country, but also save the country.
That hero Li Xiaozhong also taught me to achieve great achievements, and I was able to show my face to my colleagues in the Western Army back then!"
Xiao Tangsi was led by famous generals such as Han Shizhong who were capable of commanding and deploying troops, and Niu Gao, who had been tempered by the war and could stand alone, led the troops, as well as the Taihang Mountains, which were located south of Hedong Road and not far from Shaanzhou.
The troops of the Loyalty and Society Defending Rebels were invested in Huanluanzhai, and Li Yanxian, who was defending Shaanzhou, led the army and civilians in the city to cooperate with the outside world. It was enough to defeat the enemy along the way. They were led by Jin generals such as Ulu Evacuation, Aqulan, Ba Lisu, and Olun.
With the enemy's forces on our side, we can free up our hands and lead the rest of the troops to continue heading north to Taiyuan for reinforcements.
The Weisheng Army, which is separated from Longde Prefecture and Taiyuan, had been in and out several times during the campaigns against Zhang Di and Tian Hu, but now it is also the state capital that has fallen and is occupied by the Jin Army.
Not only that area is also very familiar to Xiao Tang, it has become an area that must be recovered when advancing further north. When the Qingqi scout posts returned to report the movements of the Jin army entrenched in the Wei Sheng Army's territory, they could also hear the report.
: "When the Jinlu commander Wanyan Nianhan first pacified the counties under the rule of Wei Sheng's army, Wu Li, a rich man from Wei Sheng, not only brought his family wealth to join him, but also gave his young sister to Wanyan Puluhu as his concubine. That traitor
Sisi made the Jin people happy, so he assigned some miscellaneous Hu troops and horses, and recruited some troops from him. When the Jin army invaded and invaded Fen, Jin, Shi and other state capitals west of Hedong, Wu Li was assigned to temporarily guard Weisheng.
Military Administrative Office Tongtian County..."
Although he has known Wei Shengjun Wu Li for a long time, he often came to show his favor before and after Xiao Tang held an important official position in the Song Dynasty. However, Wu Li immediately surrendered to the Jin Army during the national crisis. Xiao Tang's attitude towards
This is not surprising at all. After all, with this guy’s nature, he is determined not to be a wealthy man who lives in the countryside to receive blessings. Whether he follows the trajectory in the original work and joins Tian Hu in an attempt to become a secret envoy of a puppet country.
The uncle who was also the puppet emperor still surrendered to the Jin army to seek fame and wealth. This was all due to Wu Li's temperament.
Normally, I have received a lot of favors from you in the past, and I also hope that you can keep up your own responsibilities... But now, you still do such things as surrendering to the enemy, so it’s no wonder that I don’t miss the friendship at all.
Got it... Xiao Tang thought in his mind, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Rush to Taiyuan's aid as quickly as possible rather than too late. In addition to Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, they will lead their troops to jointly defeat the Lianlian Village and Zhongyi Baoshe in Taihang Mountains."
The rebel army rushes to support Shaanzhou, and the rest of the troops set off immediately after my order to quickly capture the powerful bronze... Since we got to know each other back then and had some affection for each other, even if we have become enemies now, I still have to go and meet them in person.
