The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 840 Yuan Hao's Response
In Gaoping City, Anding County, Xiliang, this place is now the capital of Xixia. Not long after Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor, although he was dressed in a unique party costume, he did not live in a magnificent palace, but only occupied the house of a well-known family. .

Li Yuanhao sat in the main seat. In addition to the clan Li Jiyuan, Li Deming, Li Renxiao, Li Chengwei, Li Liangzuo, Li Zunxu, Li De, Li Wei and others, there were also Wuzang Xiepang, Yeli Renrong, Liang Deyang, Wo Daochong, Liang Yibu, Gule Maocai, Liang Qibu, Wangmengxuan, Hunwei Mingyu, Duluokong and other important party officials are listed.

On the contrary, the two brothers Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan who were originally the political core of Xixia, as well as Yang Shousu, Liu Zhizhi, Ren Dejing and other Han people were obviously silent in the rear.

After several major defeats and Li Yuanhao's rebellion, Xixia's talents plummeted, including generals Xue Deli, Huang Qiongnu, Wu Xufeng, Da Mahua, Wei Minglinggong, Mebao Wu Liang, Yin Qi, Tu Langya, Jing Xun , Fengyandi, Duanwei, Jinghuasha, Yaconshan, Suerdai, Halie, etc. will be listed.

If Lu Heng is here to look at the "great achievements" of this group of people in the original time and space, there is nothing wrong with Pang instructing Li Ningling to assassinate his biological father Li Yuanhao, leading to the power ministers who dominate the government after his death, bullying the young emperor, foreign relatives, authoritarian, and ambitious characters.

Liang Yi was buried in the regent of Queen Mother Liang, and he used this person as another relative of the prime minister who had great power, and helped Queen Mother Liang's party fight for the person who tried to imprison the Lord (Li Bingchang).

Liang Qibu, the son of Liang Yibu, is as ambitious as father and son, but his methods are much worse than his father Liang Yibu's. Like many second-generation officials, his eyes are higher than the top, but his ambitions are empty and he has no matching ability.

It is wrong to say that Liang Yi buried a powerful general in the party to trap and kill the emperor's cronies, and imprison Huizong, and this person was responsible for it.

In addition to the above "demons and monsters", there are many scholars Yeli Renrong who created Xixia characters, Gule Maocai and Liang Deyang are all famous scholars.

The only one who can be called Qingliu is Wo Daochong. This person has introduced the Xixia Bao Zheng-like figure in the previous article. As for Zhang Yuan and Zhang Pu, they are silent. .

I saw Liang Yibu came out at this time: "Your Majesty, this time there are 20 troops from the Song Dynasty in the north, and [-] cavalry from Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu in the south. Our Great Xia is in danger. Why don't we go to the emperor and become king..."

Liang Yibu believed that most of the reason for the disaster this time was Li Yuanhao's self-declaration as the emperor, and there may be some talk about it after he resigned from the title of emperor.

"It's too late now. There is Helan Mountain in the north. The natural barrier is mainly in the south. The lord will fight in person and defeat Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu first, and then go north to face the powerful enemy Song!" Strategy, this person's strategy made Li Yuanhao nod frequently.

Now Wo Daochong's thoughts actually represent the thoughts of most people. Compared with the Helan Mountain in the north, there is almost no danger to defend the Pingchuan River in the south. How could Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu retreat to Hanyang County? Zhang Xiu can push it back, so he pays more attention to Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu in the south than Song Li Yuanhao.

However, Li Yuanhao, who has fought against Ma and Zhang many times, still has some confidence in his heart!
Li Yuanhao inspected for a while and said: "There is no need to talk about the matter of going to the emperor. This is a difficulty and an opportunity for us in Daxia. As long as we can defeat the three forces of Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, and Song Dynasty, Daxia will be able to securely occupy it." Xiliang.

There are Yeli brothers in the north, Zan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai, Wu Gesong, etc. will not have to worry, Xue Deli, Huang Qiongnv, Wu Xufeng, Da Mahua, Wei Mingling Gong, Yin Qi, Baa Bao Wu Liang, Bald Langya, Mu Wei will follow me to fight together. "

In the battle against Xiliang Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu's army, infantry is not needed at all, so most of the elite infantry are on the northern Helan Mountain defense line, while Li Yuanhao leads [-] Xixia cavalry to the south.

Let’s not talk about Li Yuanhao’s another bayonet fight with Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu. The Helan Mountains in the north were mentioned in Yue Fei’s "Man Jiang Hong", "Driving a long chariot to break through the gaps in the Helan Mountains". Unfortunately, Yue Fei has never been to the Helan Mountains in his life. , breaking through the Helan Mountains and preventing Hu horses from crossing the Yinshan Mountains are all aspirations to defend the country against grassland invasion, and the Yinshan Mountains are on the Hetao Plain not far to the east.

Helan Mountain is an important regional watershed in China. It geographically divides the Tengger Desert and the Ulan Buh Desert and protects the Yinchuan Plain. You can march from the Ordos Plateau to Shizuishan Mountain.

At this time, Shizui Mountain was not a prosperous city with a large population in the later generations. It was a valley entrance of a mountain road that had not been developed at all. There is also a Xixia water army defending.

Under the guard of Yang Si, Yang Yanping, Yang Yansi and other generals, Zhuge Liang looked at the topography of Shizui Mountain and frowned slightly. He saw that this place is a valley slope. Dazhai, Yeliwangrong, lies across the mouth of the valley, forming a terrain of one block and one river.

After Zhuge Liang inspected the terrain, he returned to the Song Dynasty military camp and directly found Li Bao, the commander of Jinfan Camp. No one expected that the key to destroying Xixia lay in the navy!

If Lu Heng was here, he would be very surprised, because neither the Song-Xia War nor the Xia-Mongol War had ever appeared before, and no one even knew that there was such a thing as a navy in Xixia!

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The areas occupied by Xixia in history are basically along the Yellow River in the Yinchuan Plain of later generations.

It's just that the battles with the Northern Song Dynasty were all farther south. Like Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu, they fought from south to north and never from north to south. In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty did not win the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. It is the mountainous area in the north of Bingzhou that does not control the entire Yellow River, so there is no time to talk about attacking Xixia from the Yellow River.

As for Mongolia, it is a common problem of grassland nomads that there was no decent navy at all in the early days. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed in the early Yuan Dynasty that Zhang Hongfan and other Han people surrendered to form a navy.

The defensive terrain of Shizui Mountain is made up of mountains and fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The breakthrough point is just above the river and breaks the Yellow River defense line. No matter how impregnable the fortress is, it still has a big hole.

For Da Song, the navy has no opponents in East Asia yet!

After Zhuge Liang returned to the camp, he sent someone to Li Bao, the leader of the Jinfan camp stationed on the Yellow River, to order: "Break through the defense line of the enemy's water village within ten days."

After Li Bao saw Marshal Zhuge's order, he only said one sentence: "Brother, please report back to Marshal Zhuge, Li Bao dared to issue a military order and the Jinfan Camp wiped out the Xixia water bandits within three days!"
