Chapter 972 The Xixia people who ruined the overall situation?
"No, leave it to Yelu Yuchi!" Yu Yunwen said, "Yelu Yuchi surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and your Majesty gave him the rank of Dingyuan General. He wanted to win over the Khitan people and separate the Jurchens and Khitans from the Jin Dynasty. We want to let him When Yeluyu saw that he had made some achievements, he promoted him."
"Would it be bad for a Khitan to be promoted too high?"
"After he is promoted, it will be time for him to retire." Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "What else can a Khitan man whose whole family was killed by the Jin Kingdom do? Their only way to survive is to enjoy their old age in the Song Dynasty."
On the afternoon of the seventh day of May, the summer wind on the bank of the Yellow River cools the whole body.
Before the Jin envoy Liu Shan arrived, Liu Yi arrived first.
Hearing that he was an envoy from the Song Dynasty, Li Liangfu thought about it and decided to meet him.
Liu Yi got straight to the point and said: "Why are your army here?"
Li Liangfu said: "This area is my Daxia territory."
"We, the Song Dynasty, built cities by the Yellow River to calm the people." Liu Yi said, "Now that Song and Xia are friendly and engaged in trade, does the general want to close the Hengshan Forbidden Questions again?"
When Li Liangfu heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Liangfu had numerous failures.
If Xia Lord Li Qianshun really messes with him, he can find an excuse to kill him at any time.
This time when troops were sent out, Brother Richard also emphasized many times that it was enough to fool the Jin people, and if he could not do it, then he should not do it.
This means that I have a lot of business in Hengshan. If you mess up, I will cut you into eight pieces and feed them to the dogs.
"Song envoys misunderstood. Our army recently reported that some horse bandits were disturbing the people in this area, so I led the troops here."
"When does the general plan to withdraw his troops?"
"In some time, we will withdraw our troops after we have found out the whereabouts of the horse bandits and ensure that the border is clear."
Liu Yi said: "How to guarantee it?"
"I came here on the order of the King of Jin. The King of Jin is friendly with your country and has many forbidden transactions. How could the two countries easily go to war?" Li Liangfu said, "Just think, if I use troops against the Song Dynasty here, even if I win, Yes, I will also suffer losses, and our court will not gain much, but we may lose the Hengshan forecourt."
Liu Yi didn't say much, he simply chatted for a while and then left.
When leaving, he deliberately used the Xixia people's toilet as an excuse for having a stomachache.
When leaving, he basically observed a considerable part of the Xixia camp.
Liu Yi left with his front foot, and the Jin envoy Liu Shan came with his rear foot.
In front of the golden envoy, Li Liangfu completely changed his face.
He said this: "Our army is quite tired after trekking and needs to rest before attacking the city."
Liu Shan said: "The Prime Minister of your country has promised to our Highness. If the agreement is broken this time, my Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will march westward and swear to crush your Xingqing Mansion!"
"Jin Envoy can rest assured!"
After a round of coaxing and lying, Liu Shan left the Xixia camp with satisfaction.
On the afternoon of the eighth day of May, after Yu Yunwen heard the report of Liu Yi's return, he thought about it and immediately gave the order to Yelu Yujian of Dongsheng Prefecture to send troops.
On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Liu Shan returned to Yunnei Prefecture and said to Wang Bolong: "The Xixia people will besiege the city after a rest."
"Forgive the Xixia people not daring to break the contract this time!"
But on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, after figuring out the range of activities of the three cavalry groups of the Jin Army, Yelu Yujian of Dongsheng Prefecture launched three thousand Khitan cavalry in one breath and began a rapid attack on the Jin cavalry.
After receiving the gift from Zhao Guan's family, Yelu Yu saw the war and suddenly became very conscientious.
On that day, the Khitan cavalry divided into two groups, and after a long-distance attack of 60 miles, they quickly killed the Jin cavalry group closest to Dongsheng Prefecture, with a total of one thousand cavalry.
After resting for a day, on May 12th, Yelu Yujian quickly advanced two hundred miles east of Anbei Prefecture, where he encountered the second Jin Army cavalry who was resting.
A total of 1,500 riders.
After fighting for most of the day, the Khitans used their superior strength and surprise advantage to kill the second Jin Army cavalry.
If Xixia really wanted to attack the Song Dynasty, the news that Dongsheng City dispatched 3,000 cavalry at once would have reached Li Liangfu's ears long ago.
At this time, Li Liangfu could send a cavalry group to attack the Khitan cavalry from behind.
But Li Liangfu didn’t!
After drinking wine in the camp, he fell asleep.
In his sleep, he dreamed of Brother Richard praising him, and also dreamed of Li Qianshun holding his hand and saying: You are the pillar of the country!
While he was sleeping, the Jin Army commander misjudged the situation and the Jin Army cavalry did not have time to retreat flexibly, resulting in the loss of nearly 3,000 cavalry.
This news did not reach Yunnei Prefecture until the 14th.
Wang Bolong was still thinking of waiting for Li Liangfu to rest and immediately besiege Anbei City. As long as the Xixia people held back Anbei City, he could divide his troops into several groups and simultaneously destroy several military logistics supply fortresses south of Anbei City.
However, it turns out that some people are always just greedy for the small profits in front of them.
When the news came back that the two cavalry groups had been defeated, Wang Bolong collapsed from his chair: "What did you say!"
"Supervisor Zuo, the Song army attacked two groups of our cavalry! Our army suffered heavy losses!"
"Impossible! If the Song army wants to attack our cavalry, it will need at least three thousand troops. With more than three thousand troops, it is impossible to hide it from the Xixia scouts. The Song army does not dare to take risks!"
The scout was speechless.
Wang Bolong's eyes almost burst into flames in anger.
"Liu Shan!"
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan is here!"
"What's going on? It's already May 14th, and the Xixia people have arrived in Anbei City for nearly ten days. What on earth do they want to do!"
Wang Bolong felt that he had been fooled.
His cavalry was specially designed to attack the Song army's logistics, so he divided his forces.
After all, judging from the current situation, the Song Army's most fatal weakness along the line from Fuzhou to Anbeicheng is its logistical supply.
Any commander in chief would know.
However, dividing the troops also has the disadvantage of dividing the troops, that is, it is easy for the enemy to find out the route and then concentrate on it.
After the Song army resolutely implemented the strong wall and cleared the country, Wang Bolong was ready to withdraw his cavalry and play a tug-of-war with the Song army.
The so-called see-saw tactic is, if you hold on to the wall and clear the field, I will withdraw. If I withdraw, if you continue to transport food, I will come again. If you hold on to the wall and clear the field, I will withdraw again.
This see-saw tactic is a relatively clever tactic that can effectively suppress the side with excessive logistics.
But the Xixia army arrived at this time. As the commander-in-chief, Wang Bolong of course had to make changes according to the changes in the battle situation.
Since the Xixia people agreed to besiege Anbei City, the Song army from Dongsheng Prefecture and Pingrong City might move north to support them, and the few lines of cavalry left by Wang Bolong there would have the opportunity to raid the Song army's reinforcements.
Everything is so wonderful.
What a great situation!
Only then did Wang Bolong realize that he had been tricked by the Xixia people!
"Come here, gather all the troops!"
Liu Shan immediately dissuaded him: "Superintendent Zuo, you must not be hasty. Yunzhou has always emphasized that the defense line against Yanmen Pass has not yet been completed. Now we don't know how many troops the Song Army has deployed at Yanmen Pass. If the battle of Yinshan is fully launched, If the Song army at Yanmen Pass raids our army's grain road from Yunzhou to Yunneizhou, something serious will happen!"
"We lost nearly three thousand cavalry before we even opened it. When word of this reached Yunzhou, what do you think the Tongjun Department will do with me?" Wang Bolong jumped in anger.
Everyone understands the truth. The Song army at Yanmen Pass is hiding behind, and the Jin army is also improving its logistics.
Chapter completed!
