The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 854
At the Song military camp next to the Qinghe River in Anding County, Lao Niu was high-spirited and repelled several large-scale Xixia attacks in succession.

From Lao Niu to his apprentices Lu Kai, You Tu, Zhong Lixu, as well as Guo Kui, Shi Jin, Hu Zaixing and other Chinese generals, everyone is full of ambition and feels that they are sure to win!
The Xixia people did not send troops to attack the camp for several days in a row!
However, counselors such as Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong were not so optimistic. This battle was related to the life and death of the Xixia people.

Li Yuanhao will not give up so easily, since there is no movement for a few days, there must be some strategy.

Under the reminder of the three counselors, although Lao Niu was a little drifting, he still sent more scouts and stepped up preparations for the battle.

as expected!Suddenly, only three of the scouts sent out in the morning fled back, "Report to Marshal! Military division! The Xixia people are looting the people in the local village."

"What!" The old cow was very shocked by this!
This is the hinterland of Xixia. The enemy army looted its own people in its hinterland. What kind of magical operation is this?

Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong's expressions changed slightly when they heard the scout's words.

"What a vicious strategy!" This is what Lu Su muttered to himself.

"Li Yuanhao is destroying his foundation." Wen Huanzhang had already seen the other party's thoughts.

"However, since this is the case, it is indeed difficult to handle." Xu Guanzhong frowned as if he was thinking of countermeasures.

Lao Niu was scratching his head scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what kind of charades the three of them were playing, "Three military advisers, what's going on? You can't bully me, an honest person."

Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong all looked at each other humbly for a while, and then Wen Huanzhang felt that Lu Su's new joining of the Military Aircraft Department should be explained by Lu Su.

"Marshal Niu, now Li Yuanhao is desperately looking for a decisive battle, but it is not good to attack the camp, so he can only use heretic strategies. Arresting the local Han people is nothing more than forcing them to attack our camp, so that we can use a slap in the face."

"What? He dares! These are the people of the Song Dynasty! Damn it! This*&*&..." When Lao Niu heard this, he became furious and cursed Li Yuanhao for being nothing. In Lao Niu's mind, the Song Dynasty would win this battle. Xiliang must be the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the people of Xiliang are the people of the Song Dynasty!
The old cow breathed out the fragrance for a while, probably felt that he was tired of cursing and thought about it, and he had already made up the picture in his head, the people of the 'Da Song' were threatened by Xixia soldiers one by one to attack their Dazhai.

"This, this, this! What should I do?" Lao Niu thought for a while about how to deal with it.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty loved the people as a son and wanted the Emperor to know that he used arrows to kill people. Although he would understand it under special circumstances, this would still be used as an excuse by some people with ulterior motives.

In fact, Zhang Yuan's strategy is very common. During the chaos in the Central Plains, various grassland peoples such as the Southern Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan invaded Dacaogu in the Song Dynasty, and they would do this when they encountered a strong fortress.

It's just that those prairie people used hostile tactics against the people at that time, which can be considered despicable, and it can also be called a hostile strategy from a certain angle.

But Li Yuanhao used his own people to use such a poisonous trick, which can no longer be summed up in the word 'despicable'!
Since Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong let themselves talk about Lu Su, they did their part: "Marshal Niu! In fact, Yier only needs to retreat to advance!

This strategy is effective for cities because cities cannot be moved, but our camp only needs to move backwards.

The people move slowly and need food and grass supply, which has become a drag on the Xixia army. However, in order to prevent Li Yuanhao from repeating his old tricks, he still dispatched a navy to relocate the local people or let the people take refuge first. As for the excuse, Li Yuanhao has already personally delivered it to the door ..."

"So it turns out that the officials have always said that Mr. Zijing (Lu Su's style name is Zijing) is a great talent!
General Shi Bao moved the people to Fuping first, and ordered General Li Bao to transfer the Shibao army to the rear first, and at the same time pass the news to Marshal Zhuge. "

After hearing Lao Niu's order, Lu Su looked at Lao Niu with surprised eyes and thought to himself: "It seems that the marshal sent by your majesty is not useless. Marshal Zhuge let General Niu lead the army obviously not entirely because he is your majesty's confidant."

That's right!Originally, Lu Su thought that Lu Heng sent Lao Niu to replace the emperor as the marshal of the Chinese army, just to find a loyal tool man.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang also appointed Lao Niu as the commander when he divided his troops. At that time, Lu Su thought that Zhuge Liang respected Lu Heng, the designated acting marshal.

Along the way, Lao Niu also cooperated very well and did what a tool man should do. The basic ability of marching and forming a formation is not a problem, and the most important thing is to obey the three of them joining the army.

Not now!Although Marshal Niu Gao is not as resourceful as a counselor, he is not ignorant of strategy.

Lu Su clearly remembered that he did not say that he would withdraw in batches by water, and that he would evacuate safely while creating a false impression for Li Yuanhao.

Lu Su's strategy of "advancing through retreat" is actually possible only on the basis of the retreat route of the navy!
Otherwise, they can only be forced to defend to the death!
why?There is no way for the navy to retreat, and once Li Yuanhao finds out that the old cow army has pulled out of the camp, he can send cavalry to pursue and attack. The goal of looting the people and seeking field battles has been achieved.

If it's that kind of situation, if you don't stick to it, you have to stick to it, and you have to do it if you don't want to kill these people!

In this way, it took time for Li Yuanhao to search and plunder the people, and it took time for Li Bao to transport the Shibao army to the rear to relocate the people, and even the relocation took more time than the looting.

It's very simple, looting is the destruction of huge profits, but it is conceivable that it is difficult to persuade the people to leave their homeland when the people are relocated. .

That's how Zhuge Liang sent the Fang Qifo Legion to support from the north after learning about it. With the addition of the Fang Qifo Legion, the migration speed from south to north was much faster.

why?Who was Fang Qifo in the original history?
As the important leader of the Fang La uprising, he is good at brainwashing the people, and Jin Yiwei walked along the road with Li Yuanhao's "great achievements", which naturally accelerated the speed a lot.

In order to deal with the problem of the slow migration of the people, Xu Guanzhong offered another strategy of slowing down the troops!What is the plan to slow down the troops?
First of all, Lao Niu built a big village every [-] miles from the Qinghe River to Fuping. Naturally, he retreated layer by layer when Li Yuanhao used poisonous tricks.

When building the camp, generals Fang Jie, Guo Zun, Hu Zaixing, Shi Jin, Fang Tianding, Hu Sanniang and other generals were sent to call for formation in front of Li Yuanhao's camp!
Grassland people take their bravery as their glory, but it is unbearable to be blocked by the generals of the Song Dynasty!
However, both the southern and northern routes restrained a large number of generals of the Xixia Army, and only three or two kittens were left by Li Yuanhao's side. Jing Huasha was the first to fight and then there was no second.

Hu Zaixing was shirtless and dragged his elbow and double sickle to fight. The first sickle split Jing Huasha's broadsword, and the second sickle and the handle were cut into two pieces.
