Guazhou is where the Xixia Xiping Military Division is stationed. In other words, about half of the Xixia troops stationed in the Hexi Corridor are stationed in Guazhou.
Guazhou is only three hundred miles away from Shazhou. After breaking out from Shazhou and reporting to Guazhou, Guazhou will then gather a team to go west to assist Shazhou. The time will never exceed ten days. In other words, Wang Shao and others must be there
Complete the Shazhou matter within ten days.
Judging from the situation created, Guazhou will definitely assist Shazhou. First, at the beginning of the attack on Shazhou, the partial division only dispatched more than 3,000 soldiers; secondly, the soldiers responsible for attacking and ambush the attack at that time, and
Not wearing the standard military uniform of the Song Army.
For Xixia's Xiping Military Division, no matter whether the Song Army raided Shazhou or not, they need to have the courage to support Shazhou. After all, at this time of year, it is too difficult to cross Dangjin Mountain. Xiping Military Division will never believe it.
The Song army will have 50,000 troops on this trip.
Therefore, encirclement and reinforcements can be achieved to a certain extent.
The entire command headquarters was divided on whether to leave soldiers behind in Shazhou. The court did not make it clear whether to take over the captured city.
For the army, the task is to move east from Shazhou to complete the pincer attack on Xingqing Mansion. It does not have the task of taking over the city. Besides, they are all military generals. Except for Wang Shao, Zhang Dun and the supervisor, there is no one in the partial division.
It is impossible for a civil servant to stay in the business of managing politics.
"If it really doesn't work, after completing Shazhou Jing'an, just assign any local Han to be the temporary photographer. After the country completely annihilates Xixia, we will hand it over to the imperial court for another appointment."
Even Shazhou has not been in peace yet, so it is a bit early to propose an end to Xixia, but no one present felt that what Zhang Dun said was inappropriate. This is not a case of overcoming the enemy's death. The imperial court gave the partial army the right to act expediently, which was also within the scope of its authority.
Shazhou was very cooperative. From the time when the first big clan was wiped out, and after it was discovered that the Song army really had no intention of getting involved, the fights became more and more frequent and escalated.
In the beginning, they were still secretive, doing things in the early morning to avoid people's eyes. By the third day or so, there were no more taboos, and there were even fights in broad daylight.
Tubo people, Uighurs, Daqi people, Han people, Dangxiang people, etc., as long as they are deep-rooted ethnic groups in Shazhou, they are all involved. It seems that they are all taking advantage of the opportunity just because of money and power.
It's like settling a grudge. It's very messy!
"Commander, we found out that among the ethnic groups participating in this battle, there are actually descendants of the Zhang family."
"You mean the descendants of the Guiyi Army?"
Putting aside the subsequent internal strife and self-reliance, Zhang Yichao's identification with the Central Plains Dynasty is definitely worthy of praise.
But now, I'm afraid the Zhang family's power is also very weak.
"What do you think of Zihou?"
"There is no hereditary rule in the country, and it is even said to be strictly prohibited. However, given the current situation in Shazhou, it is not impossible to support the Zhang family to temporarily manage Shazhou."
"Commander, Zhang Dun thinks it's better to make this matter clear. After all, the Zhang family is Han and has deep roots in Shazhou, so it can be regarded as having a certain background. The fact that the country cannot take care of it now does not mean that it will be the same after the Xixia is annihilated.
.”
"The Zhang family can support it, but it must accept the imperial court's statement, and there is no hereditary rule. If you agree, let his family do it. If you don't agree... treat everyone equally!"
Zhang Dun's suggestion was pertinent. Wang Shao was inclined to it out of respect for the ancestors of the Zhang family, but there was no room for negotiation in terms of the dynasty's system.
Even the Zhe family, which Taizu had promised to be hereditary in the two prefectures of Linfu, was under the jurisdiction of Liu Neiguan.
Besides, all scholars are naturally repelled by this phenomenon of military division.
"What Zihou said is true! Let's recall General Zhe and let him have contact with the Zhang family..."
Wang Shao's meaning is also very clear. The Zhang family in Shazhou is not yet qualified to be received by the chief and deputy commander of this partial division. In the same way, it also leaves some buffer for future attacks.
There was no way to dispel Wang Shao's wariness as a warrior who had served as a military envoy in the previous dynasty.
…
Outside the door of the government office, a large group of people were kneeling in unison, mainly Han people, mixed with some Tubo and Uighur people.
"I beg Master Wang to make the decision for the remaining people!"
"I beg Master Wang to make the decision for the border people!"
Everyone calls themselves different and calls themselves different, which represents different identities.
In any case, the Zhang family is still somewhat capable and has a certain amount of wisdom.
In the early years, I should say going back a few generations, the Zhe family and the Zhang family had some contacts and knew each other.
When Zhe Ke can bluntly explain his purpose of coming, the Zhang family is not ambiguous at all... They have already been reduced to the point where they have to look at the faces of the party members to survive. How can they not know what to do at this time?
Soon, Shazhou became more and more chaotic, and all conflicts were related to party members.
The Xixia people have ruled Shazhou for decades, and it is normal for the Party members to have the upper hand.
In recent years, other ethnic groups have often suffered in front of the Dangxiang people. Therefore, it is quite easy for the Zhang family to contact them.
"Commander, it seems that this family is not simple!"
Being able to win over so many allies in a short period of time, Zhang Dun couldn't help but want to think more.
"Let him do whatever he wants! Be obedient and easy to talk to, and if there is a slight movement, three to five hundred people are enough!"
Originally, he planned to clean up all the forces in Shazhou, but in the end he had to support the Zhang family.
He was not sure of the imperial court's intention and could not contact him in a short period of time. The mission of the partial division was to attack Xingqing Mansion, so he could only make do with it.
Even if Xixia controls Shazhou, the imperial court can take it easily. Wang Shao really doesn't care what kind of trouble the Zhang family in Shazhou can cause.
The village elder kneeling outside the government office was really in tears, detailing how domineering the party members had been over the years and how they had been levied and extorted...
That's so miserable! It really makes the listener cry and smell indignant.
Wang Shao's acting talent is not inferior either.
First, he accompanied the village elders to grieve, and then comforted them on behalf of the imperial court, and took the village elders into the government office, and even read their complaints with disgust...
Emotions of common hatred and hatred also brewed, even to the point of tears.
But in the end, he reiterated the purpose of the Song Dynasty army and talked about many difficulties...
"Marshal Wang, since we, the Central Plains Dynasty, have captured Shazhou, how can we interfere with the human race of the Tang Dynasty? As for military expenditure, although we and other tribes are in dire straits, we do not lack money and food to support the king's division!"
"Commander Wang, I don't ask for anything else, but I ask Master Wang to make the decision for us and the remaining people to put an end to the chaos in Shazhou!"
"The king's army also needs a rear to advance eastward. I am willing to share the burden for the Song Dynasty and maintain peace in Shazhou until the imperial court sends officials to take charge!"
No matter what I think in my heart, at least I am very considerate at this time.
"Commander, some rabble can't delay military affairs. When the imperial court opens up the Hexi Corridor, it will inevitably need to rely on the squires of Shazhou to maintain the prosperity of Shazhou."
"Commander, I think I might as well agree to the wishes of all the village elders and change the world of Shazhou so that the imperial court can take over smoothly in the future!"
Zhang Dun felt that it was almost over, mainly because he really couldn't stand the performance of everyone having their own concerns.
