Chapter 870 The old man's decree, transfer the prescription
"Dong Xuanshuai has a decree to pass on Xihe's economic strategy to Liu Fa for an audience!"
Suddenly there was a burst of shouting in the festival hall of the Xuan Shuai Yasi in Xining Prefecture. The whole body was covered in iron armor inside and outside the festival hall, and the orders of the powerful guards of the Western Army came one after another. After hearing this, Liu Fa secretly snorted, at least there is no
Show the displeasure in your heart on your face.
These military warriors were originally sons of the Western Army, but now they look more and more like Tong Guan's private soldiers...
Liu Fa secretly thought to himself that among the respected generals in the Western Army, Liu Fa was undoubtedly the most deeply abhorred by Tong Guan's actions of dividing the Western Army and trying to support his cronies to replace Lao Zhong, the general manager.
In Tingting, countless generals have emerged since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and generations of generals have served the country. However, Tong Guan used various means to tighten control of the Western Army. Rather than being loyal to the country, he did not
It would be better to say that Xiang Xiang used this most elite army in the Song Dynasty as his own private army to achieve his achievements.
As a general, he will not shy away from the sword when he is in danger, but he should also avoid resorting to military force because he is eager for great achievements. Others do not understand these things, but Liu Fa, who has experienced hundreds of battles, will not fail to understand.
Liu Fa was an upright man and was not good at flattery. Speaking of military reputation, he was even greater than Zhongshi Dao, who had been changed to a civilian official, was suppressed by Cai Jing and included in the party, and was banned by the imperial court for ten years. However,
However, Liu Fa was willing to support Zhong Shidao, who was highly respected in the Western Army, as the leader of the Western Army. Naturally, Tong Guan knew these things very well.
For the sake of his name, Tong Guan had to forcefully provoke wars many times in the past when he shouldn't have fought. But now the Song army sent three armies to attack Xia. As a result, Xia State suffered a huge defeat in Xia City in the previous Song-Xia war, and was defeated again.
The Song army built forts and forts along the three roads of Fuyan, Hedong and Linfu to form a front line. They had no choice but to send envoys to apologize and beg for peace. However, in recent years, the Xia people committed border massacres and plundered the Song people more and more frequently. Secondly, they came to seize the Xixia barrier land.
The time has come, and now is the time when all three armies need to work together. Therefore, even though Liu Fa was quite critical of Tong Guan's behavior of taking advantage of power, he was always conscientious in obeying his orders and never slacked off in the slightest.
The city of Xining Prefecture is full of forbidden troops and guards, and the atmosphere is desolate. However, the festival hall is richly decorated, with incense burners as exquisite as gold and jade. Thick green smoke curls up from the surrounding walls and sandalwood tables and chairs.
There were also enamel bead curtains and decorations. Several servants, young men, and maids came in and out of the corridor in the festival hall. When they saw Liu Fa, they all nodded and bowed in courtesy.
When Liu Faxing arrived at the entrance of the main hall of the festival hall, there were still many soldiers and soldiers lined up in two rows. An officer hurriedly walked out of the ranks and stepped forward to salute Liu Fa and apologize, but Liu Fa did not move.
He calmly took off the sword from his waist, handed it to the officer, and immediately walked into the hall.
"General Liu has been working hard these days. Is there any movement from the Xia army in Zhenwucheng?"
When Liu Fa entered the hall and bypassed the screen, he immediately saw Tong Guan, a tall and burly man with a majestic expression, standing up and laughing loudly at Liu Fa.
It has to be said that this powerful eunuch who has been in charge of the army for more than 20 years does have the style of a general. Although Tong Guan is usually surrounded by servants, his years of military service have made him strong and strong.
Tong Guan also had the majestic bearing of a commander-in-chief of the army. Tong Guan had been dealing with military officers for a long time, and his speech was direct and capable. He only said polite words and immediately asked Liu Fa about the military situation on the front line.
"Xuanshuai, a well-educated boy, knows that since the Xia army massed heavy troops to storm Zhenwucheng, Weijiang led his troops to kill him and forced the enemy to retreat, Weijiang has also dispatched men to take over the defense of Zhenwucheng from the seriously injured Meng Zhijun. .These days, the Xia army has ceased its activities and has not made any big moves... It's just that the loyal birds are about to attack, fly humblely and fold their wings, the ferocious beasts are fighting each other, and their ears are bent and they are lying down. Since the Xia army has dispatched several soldiers and horses to supervise the army, it must be the same. The plan is to paralyze our army and wait for an opportunity to attack later. Our army must also be cautious..."
Liu Fa first saluted Tong Guan, and then reported to him in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. However, out of the corner of his eye, Liu Fa saw a tall and thin general sitting at attention next to the hall, and a man in his twenties standing respectfully behind the general. After becoming an older young general, his face couldn't help but darken again.
Because the two generals who were in the hall with Tong Guan were also a father and son who came from the Western Army. One was an official who lived in Taining Army Jiedu Observation Station, and the Xiangzhou Observation Envoy Liu Yanqing was standing behind him. The younger one is Liu Guangshi, the second son of Liu Yanqing, who is currently the Military Superintendent of Yanyan Road.
Although Liu Fa had accumulated military exploits and was now transferred back to Xihe Road as the strategic and pacification envoy, Liu Yanqing was immediately appointed as the commander-in-chief of troops and horses at Fuyan Road, and Liu Guangshi also served as the commander-in-chief of troops and horses at Fuyan Road. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was Liu Yanqing. Liu Guangshi and his son had divided Liu Fa's military power through Tong Guan's help. What's more, Liu Fa had been in charge of the army for many years, and he had seen many people of all kinds and different temperaments. Although Liu Fa had Yanqing had been relatively brave in fighting against the Xia army in the past, but according to the experienced Liu Fa, this man was fierce and lax in his subordinates. Although he dared to take the lead in a smooth battle, he was not a capable general capable of fighting tough battles.
However, Tong Guan valued Liu Yanqing very much, simply because he obeyed his respect in the Western Army.
Tong Guanguan had the power to lead the army, and Liu Fashang had to give him a bit of sympathy, but he just nodded slightly to Liu Yanqing with a cold face, even as a greeting. When Liu Yanqing saw this, his face immediately showed a bit of anger, but Tong Xuanshuai was also here. Standing in front of him was the natural god general who was famous in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, although Liu Yanqing was very unhappy, he did not dare to show his anger in front of him. And Liu Guangshi stood respectfully behind Liu Yanqing. His qualifications were still relatively low now, and the people in the hall were all high-ranking figures in the Western Army. Therefore, he didn't even dare to take a breath. He just stood behind his father and looked at his nose, nose, and heart. From time to time, I peeked at the faces of these senior military officials.
After only a few polite words, Liu Fa asked Tong Guan again: "I have come to see you on the order of Tong Xuanshuai Jun, but I don't know why Tong Xuanshuai has summoned you?"
Tong Guan put his hands behind his back, stood behind the handsome case, and said with a voice as loud as a bell: "General Liu, now that our troops have rested for a period of time, it is time to make some moves! Our family has been favored by the Holy Spirit. In charge of the Northern Expedition of the three armies, Xianggong Laozhong and Xiaozhong led the western armies of Shaanxi Province to build Xiwei City and seize Zangdi City. It was Xiao Tangna, a junior member of the army, who took over the imperial army on the east road and defeated the Xia thieves in the left wing. , now our Western Army is blocked by the Xia Army at the Huangshui River due to the favorable geographical location, and cannot advance even an inch. Our family plans to ask you to lead the army to march north, take Shuo Fang first, and teach the Xia thieves guarding the river Huang that they cannot look at each other, in order to succeed. Industry."
Liu Fa's face suddenly changed color when he heard this. He immediately raised his hands to Tong Guan and said, "Tong Xuanshuai, you must not do this!"
