The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 851
Zhuge Liang besieged Lian County, Niu Gao broke Fuping, Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu broke up Jieting, and Li Yuanhao retreated to Wuzhi. The situation for Xixia was very dangerous even if it wasn't the worst.

The loss of Fuping is too critical. There is only Sanshui and one city between the capital Gaoping and Fuping, which is almost undefended!

Sanshui is an inconspicuous small city in Xiliang, and even the obstacles cannot be realized, and the terrain that is not suitable for defense can be ignored.

The lesser of two evils, Li Yuanhao decided to return to aid Gao Ping!

Li Yuanhao left a [-]-strong army with Ba Bao Wu Liang as his commander Yin Qi, Xue Deli and other generals to garrison, and he personally led [-] elite troops to march back to Gaoping, the capital first.

This was a battle for time. After Niu Gao defeated Fuping, he led his troops south to Gaoping. Li Yuanhao had to arrive at the capital before Niu Gao surrounded Gaoping, otherwise he would be more passive.

Comparing the marching speed, even if the old cow is an infantry, the state of marching in a hurry is not as good as Li Yuanhao, who is all cavalry. What's more, although he has won Fuping and continued to advance southward to Gaoping, the Yellow River has only one stream around Anding County, Qinghe River. Being able to transport food and grass, in fact, there is also the danger of going deep alone.

Under the above factors, when Lao Niu learned that Li Yuanhao returned to aid Gaoping, he had no plans to speed up the march, but was ready to fight steadily.

After Li Yuanhao returned to Gaoping, he convened all his officials to discuss the strategy against the enemy. It was okay for Yepang, Liang Yibu, Liang Qibu and others to fight for power, but they wanted to retreat from the enemy?Disaster!It's even harder!

Wo Dao rushed out of the column and suggested to Li Yuanhao: "Your Majesty! At such a critical time for the country, we should let go of our prejudices and make an agreement with the outside world. Your Majesty should summon Zhang Yuan and Zhang Pu, two counselors."

At the critical moment, Wo Daochong thought of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, the two advisers. Li Yuanhao also slapped his head and temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction with the Han people in the face of life and death.

No one knows what Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan think about Li Yuanhao's behavior. It must be known that without the support of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, Li Yuanhao and Li Liangfu would not have won the battle for power so easily.

However, after Li Yuanhao monopolized the power and directly crossed the river and demolished the bridge, it really makes people feel hateful and chilling. Maybe he didn't want his hard work to go to waste, or he might want to give Li Yuanhao another chance. It is more likely that Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan feel that they are in the Song Dynasty. It would be even worse to die in the hands.

In short, Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan still spoke out the strategy of saving the country under Li Yuanhao's plea.

First, the collection of grain and grass in the city of "Jianbi Qingye" is managed in a unified manner, and all the farmland, forests and even the navy outside Gaoping city are destroyed, so that the enemy cannot leave a single cent, and at the same time, the population near Gaoping is gathered in the city.

The second thing is to explode the soldiers. First, all the Qiang people are recruited to help in the battle, and all the tribes of the Qiang people, including Shaodang Qiang and Baima Qiang, are ordered to send troops to help in the battle. In addition, all tribesmen must send out their descendants to form an army led by Li Yuanhao, and The name of this army is called 'Proton Army'.

Including the sons of the high-level Xiqiang people, such as the patriarchs Cheriji, Yueji, and Yadan, Shaodang Qiang, and the sons of the Baima Qiang high-level people, Mozhai, Midang, Ehe Shaoge, Fatong, Dianwu, and Lindai.

The third order was to order all Gaoping Han males above the age of ten and below the age of 50 to go up to the city wall to guard the city, and all the remaining old and weak women were uniformly guarded to prevent civil uprisings.

Because the two are very clear that Li Yuanhao's previous policy seems to be developing rapidly, but its disadvantages are very serious, that is, the Han people!
Li Yuanhao's policy divided the Xixia people into three types: Dangxiang people, Qiang people, and Han people. He didn't mention the ranks on the surface, but in fact he suppressed the Han people everywhere. In addition, the Hufu archery and hair-shaving orders made the Han people in Xixia alienated.

On the contrary, the Great Song Dynasty was the orthodox Han people, and Lu Heng once again brought up the concept of Chinese people. Under such a contrast, the seeds of riots had been planted long ago. You must know that Han people accounted for [-]% of the Xixia population.

Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan also know that this is drinking to quench their thirst, even if they overcome this difficulty, there will be endless troubles, but so what?

In the face of life and death, it is a trivial matter. In short, the white terror policy similar to Sun Ce has reappeared!
It's just that this time the barbarians from Wuxi became the Han people in Xixia, and even more despicable things will be revealed later...

It was also this one that put Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan on Lu Heng's must-kill list!When Lu Heng learned of the behavior of the Xixia people, he was furious and ordered Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan to kill without mercy!

Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan's strategy made Li Yuanhao's eyes brighter and brighter. What he was worried about now was that the problem of military strength had been solved easily. At this time, Li Yuanhao regretted his previous behavior of neglecting the two.

From a practical point of view, although Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan are Han people, their strategy is much better than that of Wuzang Yepang, Liang Yibu, Liang Qibu and others. Although Wo Daochong is loyal and upright, he is only good at government affairs and not good at strategy .

The words 'Since ancient times the Han people are so cunning' were deeply imprinted in Li Yuanhao's mind.

This kind of strategy is completely destroying the foundation of Xixia. It is not that no one objected. For example, Li Renxiao, the younger brother of the patriarch Li Yuanhao, strongly opposed it, and even said, "I should support the second brother (Li Qianshun) at that time! !" But he was brutally imprisoned by Li Yuanhao with murderous intent on his face.

Following Li Yuanhao's order to make a mess in Gaoping, the Dangxiang people and the Qiang people began to forcibly recruit soldiers. If there is any resistance, they will be killed. They even encountered many wealthy Han people who directly confiscated their property and killed them all. Countless people suffered disasters and tragedies. It happens every day.

This is still a mess inside and outside Gaoping City. Xixia cavalry are burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of crimes in their own country!

Li Yuanhao divided the [-] elites he brought back into [-] teams to wreak havoc around Gaoping and collect people, and he also issued the most hateful order, "All the property except food will be owned by these elites." The outside of the city was more terrifying than the inside of the city Countless villages were destroyed and the whole family was implicated when they fled and were caught.

Similarly, the Baima Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Xi Qiang and other Qiang tribes who were originally attached to the Dangxiang people also behaved differently. The short-sighted patriarchs directly joined this hellish feast of plundering, and some believed that Li Yuanhao was self-destructing. ...

With this kind of destruction, this relatively prosperous place in Xiliang, because the Xixia Dingdu is under the governance of Wu Daochong and others, has a devastating blow!

Agriculture, population, economy, etc. went back 30 years, and returned to the rebellious and impermanent days of Emperor Han Ling.

This also planted the root of disaster for the demise of Xixia. Imagine that if Li Yuanhao, who was self-willed and hostile to the Han people, did not come to power, but Li Qianshun, who had a bottom line of benevolent governance, gained power, all these disasters would not have happened.
