The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 874
Zan Tianwang and Xingxing Luo Hai both died in battle, which made the breakout Xixia army fall into despair, and surrendered one after another.

In this battle, except for the important city of Lianxian County, which was breached by the Song Dynasty, it represented that the Ningxia Plain, an important strategic area in the south of Helan Mountain, was controlled by the Song Dynasty in later generations.

After the iron kite in this battle, Bubazi, the elite infantry of Xixia, was also wiped out, including about 4 people surrendered and nearly [-] horses were seized.

This battle included Yeli Yuqi, Yeli Wangrong, Zan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai, Wugesong, Ziyachai, Da Mengyang, Xiao Mengyang and other important Xixia generals were all killed in battle.

It was the third important victory after the "Helan Mountain Victory" and "Sanshui Great Victory". Later historians generally believed that this battle was a key victory for the Song Dynasty to destroy Xixia, and the possibility of winning the entire battle was called " Great Victory in Lian County'.

After capturing Lian County, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to go south. He first ordered the corpses of King Zan Tian and Xing Xing Luo Hai to be buried together with Wu Gesong, and he personally expressed his condolences for the three of them.

This is Zhuge Liang's respect for loyal people and opponents. Zan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai, and Wugesong have a high reputation in the Xixia army.

In particular, Zan Tianwang has a strong personality and has a great reputation in Xixia. In addition, Lian County has been surrounded by Zhuge Liang for a long time, so it was a blessing in disguise and was not affected by Li Yuanhao's so-called "save the country" strategy.

Zhuge Liang's behavior was also to ease the hostility of the party members. After all, the destruction of the Xixia regime is not the end but just the beginning. How to govern the party is the key.

Zhuge Liang, as an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, a great power in both generals and prime ministers, has already begun to lay out Xixia before it is destroyed.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang's army would continue to go south, and the large number of prisoners could not go south with peace of mind until they were dealt with. Zhuge Liang asked Liuzan to transport all the prisoners to Pinglu City, including the prisoners obtained by Lao Niu before.

There are many prisoners in the newly established Pinglu City, but they have to do so. Both Gaoping and Fuping are in the territory of Xixia. It is too dangerous to let these prisoners of war stay here. After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang asked Chen Gong and General Guo Jin Take a soldier and horse back to Pinglu City to garrison.

Zhuge Liang stayed in Lian County for ten days to settle his worries, and then led the army south to Gaoping to join forces with Lao Niu!
After defeating the so-called "capital" of Gaoping, Xixia can withdraw from the stage of history thousands of years earlier.

Lao Niu scolded Li Yuanhao as a "turtle son" on the first day of the siege at the foot of Gaoping City. Without him, Lao Niu saw that the surroundings were like a desert with no saplings. .

What's more, Xu Xuduo, the victor, was forced to defend the city on the city wall, with only inferior spears and no armor or even leather armor.

In short, after Lao Niu surrounded Gaoping, he did not directly attack the city. Instead, he asked people to assemble siege equipment continuously, and at the same time sent people to log and build camps outside Bailidi.

As the saying goes, "The house leaks and it rains all night", in short, Li Yuanhao's bad news is one after another.

First of all, the army of the Lao Niu army is approaching the city. It is definitely not a good phenomenon for the capital of a country to be approached by the enemy's soldiers, which means that its demise is not far away.

Secondly, Lao Niu followed Xu Guanzhong's strategy in order to disgust Li Yuanhao and hit the morale of the city, and found hundreds of loud voices to say the "Lianxian Great Victory" vividly.

In this way, Li Yuanhao naturally knew that the northern defense line was completely lost, and his beloved general Zan Tianwang, Xing Xing Luo Hai, and Wu Gesong did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Of course, Li Yuanhao hoped that this was a fake news, a fake news that the enemy used to attack their hearts. Even if the northern front fell, the martial arts of Zan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai, and Wugesong could break through and come to Gaoping to help in the battle. It was Li Yuanhao's idea.

Li Yuanhao waited for Zan Tianwang and others every day with his neck growing, but he waited until the dusty south!
When Lao Niu suddenly learned that there was a large-scale legion in the south of Gaoping City, he was also surprised. According to the spies, the number of legions in the south probably exceeded 10 people...

At this time, Lao Niu was thinking in his mind, could it be the reinforcements Li Yuanhao had found?Do you want to retreat first?
Then the old cow heard the scout saying that the word "horse" and "zhang" were hung on the big banner of the army, and the old cow was furious. The panting of the orderly almost scared the old cow to death.

Since it is Ma and Zhang, of course Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu, it is the friendly army, why is Lao Niu panicking now!As if it wasn't him who was sweating coldly just now!
Aren't Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu blocked by the Wuzhi line in the south?Why did he suddenly hit Gaoping without anyone noticing?

This also starts with Lao Niu's "Sanshui Great Victory". At that time, Lao Niu wiped out all the iron kites and half of the proton army, but a small half of the proton army fled back to Qiang.

As mentioned earlier, the Proton Army is composed of a group of second-generation young Qiang people from various tribes attached to Li Yuanhao. It is a relationship of attachment to Xixia rather than a relationship of complete loyalty. If Xixia is strong, it will naturally control the tribes, but if Xixia declines, these Qiang people The tribe will abandon without hesitation.

This is also the law of survival in the grassland!If these tribes are on the grassland, they will take advantage of other stronger tribes!
Therefore, when the Proton Army fled, they immediately sent people to find the patriarch of the Qiang Alliance in Wuzhi. When they heard the news of Sanshui's defeat, a thunderstorm sounded in the ears of the Qiang patriarch. Do you need to continue working hard for Li Yuanhao and Xixia?

The idea of ​​the end of Xixia has been in my mind for a long time, and over time, several factions have formed within the chief of the Qiang tribe.

The first is to give up Li Yuanhao and return to their own territory. This is also the idea of ​​most tribal chiefs. Many of them are tribal chiefs who follow Li Yuanhao's white horror, and their idea is to run away with one vote.

But there is another idea born in the minds of all patriarchs, it is better to take refuge in Da Song!
This idea made Cherduoji, Midang and others resolutely oppose it. Cherduoji is Cheriji's father and the leader of the Qiang clan, and Midang is also the leader of the Qiang clan. He responded to Li Yuanhao's policy the most and asked the Emperor of the Song Dynasty from many sources. As a human being, I think that I will never let myself go, so I firmly oppose it.

At the same time, on the mountain road leading to Wushi, Wang Shuang led a small team to guard Jia Xu, and the goal of advancing was obviously the Qiang Alliance.

It stands to reason that the Qiang Alliance is within Wuzhi's Xixia defense line, but Wu Liang is not considered incompetent, but he can make Matthew and Jia Xu appear within Wuzhi's defense line?

In fact, Wuzhi's geographical environment surrounded by mountains on three sides provides a large army as a defense line, but because of the complex terrain, it is impossible to defend everything. It is not a problem for individuals to get in and out close to the defense line. In addition, Matthew is familiar with the Qiang patriarch who is in charge of this area. Enter quietly.

At this moment, the head of the Baima Qiang clan saw Wang Shuang and Jia Xu, which completely changed the fate of the clan.
