I became the son of Renzong

Gao Zunyu also had the idea of ​​concealing the report in a flash, but he also knew that now is not the early years, the army is no longer a pure reckless man, and he will not regard the commander's order as Guigao.At the same time, there are countless civil servants and supervisors in the entire army, and no single commander can fully control an army.

The current military soldiers of the country and the dynasty, the only one who is loyal to the court is the court, or the official family.

Gao Zunyu reported honestly, not daring to hide anything, and even his idea of ​​delaying the withdrawal of troops for a day or two, he also described in detail to the court.In the past, Gao Zunyu would never take on this relationship, not to mention the friendship, but all the civil and military personnel in the entire headquarters, he would drag all of them.

Now he doesn't dare anymore, especially after seeing his elder brother's warning and the Queen's mother's hand letter, he has reported all the details in a down-to-earth manner... Elder brother told him, don't try to shirk responsibility , At this time, responsibility is more effective than shirk.

In fact, my elder brother does know more about the official family than he does, but Gao Zunyu is really not sure.

These days are suffering for him, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, he has no intention of presiding over the defense at all, leaving it all to Zhong Yi.

In the past month, Zhong Yi commanded and repelled wave after wave of attacks from the Xixia people. The Xixia people were like crazy, and they kept attacking desperately... The Xixia people were going to eat their targets along the way It's pretty clear.

At this time, they were waiting for the imperial edict, whether to break through to the west or stick to it, waiting for support, all needed clear instructions from the imperial court.

But there is one thing that Zhong Yi is very relieved of. The total amount of materials carried by the entire chariot is enough for their 6 people to last for half a year.From all kinds of firearms, to military and civilian food, and even military quilts are fully equipped.

Zhong Yi doesn't think that the Xixia people can break through the defensive circle built by the chariots, not the city, which is stronger in defense than the city.

The only concern is the material delivery line.But it’s okay now. In the past month, the Xixia people have also attacked the transportation line several times. With the current promotion of the military station system and the rail vehicle transportation method, the impact of a small number of cavalry did not cut off the transportation line.

Zhong Yi is very worried that once the Xixia people are determined to destroy their army, the next step may be to cut off the transportation line with all their might... then they will be really in danger.

The scale of this war will definitely not end in the short term, and it is even possible to continue for a year or two.

"Zuo Shuai, the imperial edict has arrived, and the commander-in-chief invites Zuo Shuai to the headquarters to discuss matters."

Another wave of attacks went down.In fact, there is no need for Zhong Yi to stare at him like this every day. Even a recruit can be called a veteran after fighting for this period of time.It's just that he is used to patrolling every day, which is also the leading rule passed down from his family's ancestors.

The imperial edict has finally arrived, and the next battle goal and plan can finally be determined.When Zhong Yi returned to the headquarters, his footsteps were much lighter than those of the previous few days.

"What? No reinforcements? Fight on the spot? Commander..."

When Zhong Yi first saw the imperial edict, his first feeling was: their army was abandoned!

Although Xixia can't reach the million string-controlling warriors he called himself, there must be 50 million, and it is even said that there will be no less than 30 million around them.The Jingsai Army Division, the Jianing Army Division, and the Xiangqing Army stationed in Xiping Mansion... This is not a tribal army, but the real combat team of Xixia.

Apart from being abandoned, Zhong Yi couldn't think of any reason to let 6 people resist the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

As for the imperial court's practice of not pursuing their greed and aggressiveness, and the commendation of their military exploits, it doesn't matter to Zhong Yi. The important thing is, how many of them will survive this journey in the end?

"Shouweng, it's not completely ignoring. The Diqing Department and the Zhongzhi Department will support it. It is impossible for the Jingsai Army Division and the Jianing Army Division to overwhelm our army. To put it bluntly, what we need to face is still Xiangqing Army, this is no different from our department's plan to pacify Xiping Mansion."

Tall and handsome!If the court does not hold you accountable, you will return to your soul and your thinking will be normal, but have you ever thought about the worst situation?

Is it just Xiang Qingjun?If so, he would have already entered Xiping Mansion.Obviously, looking at the battle situation in the past few days, it is not only the Xiangqing Army that surrounded them, but also the Jingsai Army and the Jianing Army. Zhong Yi even saw the battle between the Chaoshun Army Division and the Xishou Baotai Army Division in the right wing flag.

Wait... Coordination... Zhongyi Department, Zhongyi thinks something is wrong.

He knows who his elder brother is.I was besieged here, Xixia's strength was concentrated here, and it was almost impossible for my brother to hold back and march westward.Unless... the court makes other arrangements?

It's really possible.Thinking about it again, he has been with the official family for more than ten years, and he knows how the official family treats soldiers.At the beginning, there were [-] soldiers in the guard battalion, and the officials could remember everyone's name and regarded them as siblings. How could they give up nearly [-] soldiers?

"Marshal, are all the edicts of the headquarters in the early stage? Are there any edicts for the strategic deployment of the various armies of the imperial court?"

The more Zhong Yi thinks about it, the more he feels that there is a possibility.In view of the understanding of the big picture and grand strategy of the government, Zhong Yi felt that he needed a more comprehensive understanding of the imperial court's plans.

As the deputy commander, I didn't ask about some edicts, this is the rule.And this time he needs to see.

After being rushed by the Yellow River to nearly two thousand soldiers, Gao Zunyu paid more and more attention to this lieutenant general, and he also admired the generals trained by the government more and more.Therefore, there is no objection to Zhong Yi's request.

"Marshal, what else is accompanying the edict?"

"The imperial court added [-] soldiers to our department, and sent another [-] more. A lot of various armaments were delivered again. The list and supplies have not yet been counted, but it should be enough for our department to hold on for a year or two!"

That's it.Zong Yi compared all the edicts, looked at the sand table, kept planting flags, and kept changing the flags that symbolized the Xixia Army...

"Marshal, prepare to fight a protracted war. Also, before the transportation line is cut off, see if you can ask the imperial court for more military equipment, especially the supplies for the winter!"

Chapter 719 The Meat Grinder's Bait

Gao Zunyu would not be a fool if he could make his mark in a family like the Gao family, on the contrary, he was quite capable.Otherwise, just relying on the identity of the queen's empress and uncle is not enough to lead an army all the way.

A flaw in character does not negate his qualities as a general.Otherwise, even if Zhao Xi appoints him, the cabinet cannot approve it.

It was true that there was some negligence just now, and those who were excited by the court's lack of investigation and praise didn't even bother to consider the meaning behind the court's edict.At this time, listen to what Zhong Yi said...

"Shouweng, this battle is a battle for the whole country. There are opponents who need to fight against each other. If the imperial court does not provide reinforcements or understand the current situation of our army being besieged, we will not be encircled and wiped out. It is right not to rescue, isn't it the case? ?”

Gao Zunyu understood the court very well and didn't think much about it.In his opinion, this is no different from the original. They still need to face the possible pincer attacks of the Jingsai Army Division and the Jianing Army Division, as well as the Xiangqing Army.Moreover, this time the imperial court also added [-] soldiers, even without the reinforcements of Di Qing and Zhong Jaw, they could still carry it.

"Commander, in this battle, our road may become the focus of the entire battle, or whether this battle can achieve the expected goal, it all depends on our road!"

Zhong Yi felt that his guess should not be wrong.Instead of giving reinforcements and supporting the battle, it would be better to say that the Di Qing Department and the Zhong Jaw Department are in an unsustainable fighting state, or they are beyond their capabilities.Only in this way can the surrounding armies such as the partial division and Li Xian's department gradually form an encirclement circle.And the focus of all this is on them.

"Commander, the general doesn't know whether his guess is right or not, so everyone listen to it and make a judgment. The general's understanding of the officials is almost exhaustive every time, and there are very few loopholes in all his plans. "

"And this time, the imperial court aggressively attacked Xixia. At first, the general thought that the imperial court was only going to recover the Xingqing and Yinxia areas. But now it seems that the imperial court is going to completely beat the party members to the ground!"

"Everyone, please see that the combat power of the party members is not as high as the millions they claim, but there are always hundreds of thousands. Once these hundreds of thousands of cavalry casually attack the army of the imperial court, they may rush Open a gap to escape from birth, and there is even the possibility of a comeback and a comeback."

"Whether it's the Western Regions or the desert, the imperial court is beyond reach, unless the cavalry of the imperial court can reach the combat power of the previous dynasty. The general's ability is still limited, and he has never seen through the intention of the imperial court."

"Our army is now the deepest army that has penetrated into the territory of Xixia, and Xixia's team has already surrounded our army, which also makes Xixia think that we can wipe out our army. Our army is fighting hard, as long as the battle is brought to a certain point In a state of stalemate, the Xixia people will continue to increase their troops here."

"Using a sentence that the officials once said: Our road is the meat grinder of this war! If the Xixia people want to encircle and wipe out our troops, they need to increase their troops, and it is impossible to organize a viable force to break through..."

There is no need to explain the rest of the friendship, these civil and military generals in the headquarters, no one understands.They are a bait!

This feeling, how should I put it, each has its own reaction, it should be said that it is a bit mixed.After all, no one wants to be bait, and bait means the possibility of sacrifice.

"Shouweng, keep talking..."

Gao Zunyu has lost his excitement, and he understands the truth.It is much better to speak out some words than his relatives.

"Everyone, don't be pessimistic and think that the court will abandon our department, or that our department will suffer heavy losses. Our journey is a good bait, but it is not a bait to be abandoned. The existence of our department is the key to the court's victory in this war."

"As long as our road is seriously damaged, or even the entire army is destroyed, it means that the Xixia people can turn around and break through... How can the court allow such a battle to happen?"

"The officials regard every soldier of the new army as their darling. Most of the generals here are from the old guard battalion. Who has seen the officials abandon the army? Is it an army of [-] to [-]? In fact, in this war, the real We are the ones responsible for holding back!"

At this time, Zhong Yi really understood that the official thing has two meanings, and the same thing is actually just as reasonable in reverse.He hoped that everyone would be convinced, otherwise the morale of the army would be unstable... That would be a disaster, a disaster that would truly wipe out the entire army.

"Everyone, please look at the current battle situation. According to the imperial court's information, the partial division has already joined forces with the Zhejimin Department in Suzhou, and will soon go north to the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town; the Li Xian Department has already fought with the Heishan Weifu Army Division; and The three major combat teams of the Diqing Division, the Zhongja Division, and the Guo Kui Division did not perform very well, and their advances were quite limited."

"Obviously, this is gaining momentum. When the battle between the Xixia people and our troops has reached a stalemate, and more and more Xixia troops are gathering in this area, then the Pianshi may start to go south. Li Xian's department will join the Pianshi. To the north of Xingqing Mansion, the possibility of Xixia fleeing north is blocked."

"At the same time, the three main forces of Guochao will also exert their strength and start to compress the space surrounding our Xixia team... At this time, it is no longer the Xixia people who are encircling our army, but the entire Xixia territory. Annihilation of all the living forces of Xixia by the army of several routes!"
