1155. Daqing before the festival
1155. Pre-Festival Celebration
Only two days later.
In Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and the others led their troops out of Xingyuan Mansion and headed towards Tongchuan Mansion.
Although they were actually less than 20,000 soldiers under their command, they could still express the position of Xixia. They finally made it happen.
Yue Peng, Wen Qi, Xiao Yulin, Du Hu, and Zheng Yihang met and set up a military camp in the north of Tongchuan Prefecture.
This made the Song army camp dozens of miles north of Tongchuan Prefecture even more full of mountains and fields.
The military camps built up by tens of thousands of soldiers occupy a much larger area than some county towns.
The new Song army in Tongchuan Prefecture was like a great enemy, and sent scouts day and night to investigate.
I never saw any movement in the Great Song Dynasty military camp.
Many Great Song scouts patrolled around the military camp. These New Song scouts did not dare to get too close, so they did not know that the Song army actually quietly came out of the camp every night.
After a few days, the military camp still seemed to have not changed from the surface.
But in fact, Xiao Yulin's Tianjie army had already left the barracks.
This is Zhao Dongting’s layout.
After learning that Chongqing Prefecture was in trouble, he expected that Xinsong would not give up Chongqing Prefecture so easily. The Flying Dragon Army alone would be hard to be sure of breaking the city.
The only ones he could mobilize were the Tiankui and Tianjie armies led by Yue Peng.
After Xiao Yulin led his army to leave the military camp one after another, he never passed by any county town. He just searched for a small path and headed straight to Chongqing Prefecture.
Such field marches are nothing to the Song Dynasty imperial guards who often pull soldiers to train in the mountains and fields.
Survival in the wild is also a compulsory course for them.
The Lord of Guigu Palace and Du Xiuwei led less than 20,000 New Song Army to Chongqing Prefecture.
There are less than 2,000 new Song troops left in Chongqing Prefecture, and they are still entrenched in the government office. They have no control over Chongqing Prefecture.
However, the Lord of Guigu Palace led a large army to change this situation.
Nearly 20,000 new Song troops were enough to shock the people in the city.
When the people in the city saw the New Song army entering the city, they did not dare to stop it.
On this day, the New Song Army finally appeared on the city of Chongqing Prefecture.
The main general of Guigu Palace focused on the deployment of troops at the East City Gate, with gunfire cars standing on the top of the city. The New Song army flag fluttered in the wind.
There are many arrangements in the city.
Another four days passed.
In the north of Tongchuan Prefecture, in Helian City, Qu Rujian and the others finally led the Xixia Imperial Guards and Zheng Yihang and others to join the Song Imperial Guards.
This made the number of soldiers from the Song Dynasty and Xixia in the north of Tongchuan Prefecture reach 60,000.
The atmosphere in Tongchuan Prefecture is solemn.
In the bleak autumn wind, it seems that a war will begin at any time.
Deputy Palace Master Guigu and Chi Fenggu guarded Tongchuan Mansion, and did not dare to neglect the slightest.
Although there are more than 80,000 soldiers in the city, both of them know that the Song army is difficult to deal with. After all, both of them have suffered losses at the hands of the Song army, especially Chi Fenggu.
The army he led to Yongzhou was defeated by the Song Dynasty imperial guards. If he hadn't seen the opportunity early, he might have lived to this day.
At this time, Zhao Dongting led the Flying Dragon Army and was still a distance from Chongqing Prefecture.
Early September.
The Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Guards and the Western Xia Imperial Guards finally set off their camp and continued to approach Tongchuan Prefecture.
This naturally made the atmosphere in Tongchuan Mansion even more solemn.
The officials in the New Song Dynasty were also watching the movements in Tongchuan Prefecture at all times.
If Tongchuan Prefecture is broken, it will be like the North Gate of the New Song Dynasty. It will be difficult for them to have any support.
It is hard to imagine that Qu Rujian will face the Song State if even the army no longer has any distance from the Song army in the future.
Perhaps in decades, Xixia will become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty without realizing it?
As generals at the rank of the court, of course they didn't want something like that to happen.
Only now, looking at the eager appearance of the generals around them made the two of them feel embarrassed.
"hehe."
When the two were silent, Yue Peng suddenly laughed softly and said, "If the two generals find it troublesome, Yue will ask the soldiers to send all the food to the army camp."
This sentence surprised Qu Rujian and Heliancheng, and they couldn't figure out what Yue Peng was thinking.
However, at their level, they still believe that Yue Peng's every move must have its own intention.
Is it just for friendship?
After pondering for a moment, Heliancheng bowed to Yue Peng and said, "So, thank you Marshal Yue."
No matter what Yue Peng was trying to do, he finally avoided the situation of getting close to the two armies.
When he was not staying in the Great Song Army camp for a long time, Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and the others thanked Yue Peng again, and then led the generals to leave.
The two walked in front of the generals and had to talk in a low voice.
Heliancheng looked back at the brightly lit Song army camp and couldn't help but ask Qu Rujian: "General Qu, what do you think Yue Peng wants to do in this move?"
He really couldn't figure it out.
Because if Yue Peng wanted to get close to the two armies, he would not have offered to deliver the food to their military camps later.
In this way, although the soldiers of the Xixia would still sigh that the Song army was generous, they would never be grateful or anything else. They would even take it for granted.
After all, in name, they came here to help the Song Dynasty destroy Xixia.
