Chapter 1983 Got Longwang Shu, Monk Yuan, but still can hold it?
Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the atmosphere in the festival hall in Chengji County, the seat of Qinzhou in Longyou, was very depressing. Guo Hao, whose blood-stained armor had not yet been taken off, still had an angry look on his face, while Yang Zheng lay crouched in front of him. Wu Lin, the envoy of Xihe Lankuo Road Manager and the commander of all roads in Shaanxi Province, who was sitting on the ground to plead guilty, was sitting beside him, his face was as dark as water and he said nothing. Most of the other military officers and generals could not help but show their expressions. He looked panicked and couldn't come up with any ideas.
In addition to the capital transfer envoy Zhao Kai and other important ministers who did not come to the festival hall to participate in the military meeting, Liu Ziyu, who was now serving as the official Xuanfu envoy to participate in the military meeting, also looked hesitant and dignified. After thinking about it, he still couldn't help but look at the people sitting in the hall. Wu Jie, who was at the head, looked at him and passed by.
Wu Jie, who was now the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed to Yang Zheng who was lying on the ground: "Qi thief Han Shizhong managed all the troops in Shaanxi and always deployed heavy troops in Fengxiang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion. , the border of Jingzhou was guarded by troops, and they were confronting each other with our army. Since we had to guard against thieves for thousands of days, it was really difficult to predict the opportunity in advance. Suddenly we gathered troops and horses to invade in a large scale, and it was no longer time to spy on the enemy's situation... Yang Zhinasi is a general in the Qi bandit army who is good at using soldiers. As for Qu Duanna's ability to rebel against bandits, I also know very well...
The men led a heavy army to attack, and General Yang fought to the death to break through. Although he was defeated for a while, it was not a crime of war. General Guo resisted Zhai Xing vigorously, and the same was true for the army commanded by the traitor general Yao Pingzhong. It seems that the traitor Xiao We will eventually invade the territory and raise a large number of troops. Now the military situation is serious and the war is urgent. It is not appropriate to use military law to pursue the faults of the two of you at this time, in order to make up for the mistakes and gain control of the traitor army."
After hearing what Wu Jie said, Yang Zheng kowtowed and expressed his gratitude to the official for lenient treatment, and he would do his best to do so. Guo Hao, however, snorted unnoticeably, saying that after all, state affairs were the most important thing. He was by no means a fool who didn't know how to advance or retreat. When Wu Jie, the coach of Shangguan, refused to hold him responsible for the defeat, Guo Hao had no choice but to bend over and salute randomly as a response.
After Wu Jie comforted Guo Hao and Yang Zheng, his brows were still furrowed. After all, the Qi Dynasty's massive invasion must be an attempt to bring all the states in the Kansai territory into the territory. The territory of the country. Although the Song court today still refuses to recognize the Qi Dynasty established by the rebel Xiao Tang on the basis of the original territory of the Song Dynasty, the Song court's civil and military officials still regard the Xiao thief as , the title of the thief army, but compared to the Jin Kingdom that had joined hands with Xiao Tang to resist, the country he established is now invaded as a mortal enemy, and the situation is much more dangerous than before. ....
When he was facing a formidable enemy and was thinking carefully, Wu Jie couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in his heart.
Although according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the official minister of the Xuanfu Disposal Department of Sichuan and Shaanxi was to be a civil servant appointed by the imperial court, but after the previous transfer of Prime Minister Zhang Jun, he was blamed and dismissed due to improper recommendation for the Huaixi Military Rebellion. Now the Song Dynasty has no choice but to rely on military generals guarding key passes to hold military power, instead of still dispatching civilian officials to control it. On the contrary, it has to miss important military affairs at the critical moment... Therefore, now the officials are residing in Sichuan and Shaanxi Province Wu Jie, who was in charge of the deputy envoy, actually had the power of life and death of the imperial troops in Gansu, Longshan and Shaanxi. Just like Zhongshi Dao and Tong Guan, he became the figure who had overall military power in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.
It’s just that today’s Western Army of the Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. It has experienced a disastrous defeat in the Liao Dynasty, Lao Zhong’s retreat, and the invasion of the Jin Army... Even when Xiao Tang’s army took over and rushed to the aid of Taiyuan, Hedong, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Zhong,
The senior and respected elders of the Western Army in ancient times were also suppressed and deposed by the Song court. It was Xiao Tang who went to the border of Guanxi and joined forces with the Xia Kingdom to defeat Wanyan Nianhan and the main elite force of the Jin Kingdom led by Wanyan Loushi.
Until Qu Duan was rescued by Xiao Tang and used his reputation among the Western Army to instigate and incite a large number of soldiers, causing a large number of soldiers to defect and defect. Now the so-called Western Army only inherited its original name, but it had already fallen apart.
To add to this, how can it still have the appearance of being the most powerful army of the Song Dynasty?
Even so, Wu Jie did his best, at least after experiencing the Quduan Incident, he also tried his best to use the prestige he had established in the military over the years to control the rest of the Imperial Guards in the Western Border Court and accumulate grain at the same time.
He repaired troops and built fences to resist Xiao Tang. After a series of purges, it was time to defect and defect. To encourage the remaining soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army, Wu Jie has always tried his best to stabilize the army.
The military situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty...
A man is a great man, he has been a noble man since he was born and died. He worked hard in the army and even did everything he could to get ahead. Now he has achieved his wish and has become an important minister who holds great military and political power.
Coach, but now he is facing such a dangerous situation... Wu Jie felt a lot in his heart, but he still remained calm and collected on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Qi thieves invaded in large numbers, although I have allocated troops to assist Long.
Prefecture, Qinzhou, Gongzhou and other places have strengthened the defense of military strongholds on all frontiers...The current situation is that the northwest is occupied by the Xia people, oppressing our army, and the eastern boundary of Gansu, Longshan and Shaanxi is occupied by Qi thieves and us.
The state capital is intertwined with each other, and now there is a powerful enemy approaching. There are many crises, and the thieves are well prepared. If our army allocates its troops to guard the key passes, it will be easier for the thieves to take advantage of the situation to defeat them one by one, and capture the cities and military strongholds one by one.
In such a situation, the military affairs are divided into priorities. Who among you has a good way to resist the enemy?"
However, after the generals heard the words, they were all silent for a while. Now, not only must they control Shaanxi as much as possible, but the various state capitals in Long and Long are still controlled by the Song court, they must also firmly control the throats of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
We must stick to the path of the Qi Dynasty's westward expedition and southern invasion. In terms of the military strength of the Song Army in the western frontier, the Guanxi roads lack strategic depth, and it is indeed difficult to cover everything. A slight oversight may lead to the collapse of the entire defense line.
Who dares to say that his perfect strategy will be able to withstand the Qi army's all-out attack?
After a period of silence in the festival hall, Liu Ziyu suddenly stood up and admonished Wu Jie: "As Wu Shuai said, military affairs are divided into priorities. Although we have important responsibilities, we have the responsibility to defend the country.
, However, the war is now extremely dangerous. If we disperse our military strength to resist the enemy, it will actually outweigh the gains and losses. I am afraid that if we try to protect a military state, we will not be able to defend even one place. We must make choices.
This large-scale invasion is definitely not just to capture the lands in Longyou, Guanxi, but also to capture Longwang and Shu, and take advantage of the situation to advance south to Sichuan and Shu...
If the rebel army is extremely powerful and it is difficult to stop it, and if the several border villages in the military state cannot be defended after all, in order to be safe, our army must also discern the opportunity, take the initiative to withdraw, concentrate the forces of various departments, and rely on the Qinling Mountains where the Great San Pass is located, the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
The terrain in the northern foothills is dangerous. To build a defense line, it is necessary to isolate the enemy forces to the north of Sanguan. We must not let the Qi thieves attack Shu from Qinlong. Otherwise, if the thieves control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, they can go eastward along the river.
And the Qi navy that attacked the key pass at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the sea can also go up the river... Then our Song Dynasty is in danger!"
Liu Ziyu's words of advice generally coincide with Wu Jie's thoughts. Compared with the current situation where most of the borders of Guanxi are divided between the Qi Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom, and the state capital is still under the control of the Song Dynasty, there is absolutely no room for it.
What was lost was the key pass from Ganlong to Sichuan and Sichuan. This must also be the main target of Qi Chao's Western Route Army. Since the enemy's strategic direction can probably be predicted, it is natural to make arrangements in advance according to the situation.
Proper deployment. If the war is urgent, some territory can be abandoned. The top priority is to protect key areas that cannot be lost. Otherwise, the danger of the Song Dynasty's subjugation will become more serious...
.
So if the Qi army intends to open up the transportation hub areas of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it will inevitably gather heavy troops and attack those areas?
Of course Wu Jie also knew very well: in addition to the Xianren Pass and Raofeng Pass south of Dashan Pass, which were governed by Lizhou Road in the Song Dynasty, they were located to the east of Dashan Pass, which was the main gateway connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi, and crossed the Qinling Mountains from the Wei River Basin.
Monk Yuan came to another pass into Hanzhong area...
