The reason why Li Liangzuo agreed to transfer materials to Hanzhong was actually to adjust the overall strategic direction of the Xia army, although the Xia army had broken through on the two defense lines in the north and west, but the losses were very large, and the Song army still had heavy defense in these two directions, and there were still several defense lines, and the losses must be not small if they wanted to continue to break through in the future; On the other hand, Li Liangzuo is in some guilt for Li De, and Li Liangzuo knows that Li De needs a chance to be positive about his ability; Considering these two aspects, Li Liangzuo decided to transfer all kinds of resources to Hanzhong, and it took Xia Jun more than half a month to complete the delivery of such a large number of materials.
You must know that the consumption of all kinds of materials is very large when the war is fought to this extent, Li Liangzuo at this time to send a large number of heavy funds to support Li De, in Li De's opinion, this is the emperor values himself, so after getting this batch of materials, Li De actively prepared to go on the expedition, and transported some of the materials to Lizhou, Lizhou is the front line of the attack on Jiange Pass, and the delivery of materials here can only show that the Xia army is about to attack Jiange Pass again.
After everything was ready, Li De led the two of Xili Qianbu and Wu Jie, as well as 30,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers to Lizhou, the Xia army's marching speed was very slow, walking straight for twenty or thirty miles every day, and resting the rest of the time, there was an accident between Li De and Xili Qianbu, and the rest of the people didn't know why.
Late at night, in a hidden dark corner of the Xia Army camp, two men in black were quietly meeting here; The black-clothed man at the head asked: "Didn't you say that you are 100% sure of what is going on, now it's okay, all the plans have failed, and the Xia army is probably going to really attack the Sword Pavilion Pass."
"I don't know what's going on, they changed their minds temporarily, so you can't blame me," said another man in black next to him.
"In view of the tight Zhejiangshui defense line, the Xia army gave up the plan to advance eastward, and the commander has ordered all the soldiers and horses ambushed in Wudangshan and Xiangyang to be transferred to the Zheshui defense line; The commander ordered you to continue to lurk and not reveal your identity. ” "I understand.
What about our original plan to seize Hanzhong?"
"Originally, after luring the main force of the Xia Army's Yizhou Army to advance eastward, the commander planned to send the army hiding in Wudang Mountain to suddenly attack and occupy Jinzhou and enter Hanzhong, cut off the retreat of the Yizhou Army, and then concentrate superior forces to annihilate it in Fangzhou; But now it looks like the plan is about to come to naught. ” "It's a mistake in judgment, please forgive me."
"It's not your fault, it's too late for you to find another chance" Three days later, the Xia army marched to Jinniu Town, and late that night, Li De suddenly summoned Xili Qianbu and Wu Jie, and Li De said to them: "Now this king announces that the plan of action will begin immediately. ” Wu Jie was very puzzled and asked, "What is the plan of the prince?"
Li De smiled and didn't speak, but Xili Qianbu said: "The prince's 30,000 iron horsemen have been assembled, just waiting for your order." ” "Okay, this king will lead his troops away; You'll take care of the matter here.
Li De said to the Cyril Division.
At this time, Wu Jie was still said to be in the clouds, that night Li De took Wu Jie to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to the east, Xia Jun iron cavalry galloped for two consecutive days and finally arrived in Jinzhou, after arriving in Jinzhou, Wu Jie wanted to understand one thing, it turned out that the Xia army swaggered to the Jiange Pass just to confuse the Song army, the real intention was to go east; This is just Li De's plan to attack the west.
After Wu Jie thought of all this, his first thought was to pass the news on to his upline, and Wu Jie was one of the two men in black who met secretly that night; After Wu Jie's capture, Li Liangzuo cherished Wu Jie's talent, so he coerced and lured him, persuaded him in every way, and finally persuaded Wu Jie's surrender to the Great Xia Empire, but Wu Jie's heart was in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
At first, the Seed Master Dao was still a little suspicious, but after verification again and again, the Seed Master Dao finally believed in Wu Jie, and since then Wu Jie has become a chess piece ambushed by the Great Song Dynasty in the Great Xia Empire, the Xia Army has a large number of military deployments, and the city defense construction has been leaked, according to the information provided by Wu Jie, the Song Army has made a key defense on its own defense line, which is why the Xia Army encountered the Song Army's heavy defense as soon as it launched an attack, and the final result led to the Xia Army Although it achieved a phased victory, it suffered heavy losses; And this time, the proposal to encircle and annihilate the Yizhou Legion was provided by Wu Jie, and the specific battle plan was formulated by the Seed Master Dao himself.
What I just said is only the first step in the total annihilation of the Yizhou army in Fangzhou, and the seed master road also has its own follow-up plan, while encircling and annihilating the Xia army, the Song army will counterattack Hanzhong from the land of Sichuan and Shu, and form a two-sided flank attack with the western army of the seed master road, and at the same time Wu Jie will lurk in Hanzhong to respond from it; In order for the Song army to capture Hanzhong with lightning speed, after taking Hanzhong, concentrate superior forces from the meridian valley to the north to attack the capital of the Great Xia Emperor This plan is simple to say, but it is very difficult to implement in practice; Because Li De came to attack the west with such a move, it has completely disrupted the deployment of the Seed Master Dao, and the original false Fangzhou and Xiangyang are really empty this time; After arriving in Jinzhou, the 30,000 iron cavalry led by Li De did not rest, but went straight to Fangzhou to kill, at this time Fangzhou's troops were only more than 1,000 people, and they fell in less than half an hour in the face of the attack of 30,000 Xia army iron cavalry.
After that under Fangzhou, Li De continued to attack Xiangyang in the east, Xiangyang is an important distribution center of the Song army's western grain route, taking Xiangyang is equivalent to cutting off the Song army's western grain route, the Song army on the western front can only rely on the Grand Canal supply, after staying in Fangzhou for a day, Li De continued to lead the army to the east, at this time Li De's follow-up 20,000 foot soldiers have arrived, Li De left 3,000 foot soldiers in Fangzhou to guard.
After the situation of the eastward advance was opened, Li De also ordered everything to act according to the original plan, after receiving Li Wu's military order, the Xili Qian Department led 30,000 foot soldiers to return to Xingyuan Mansion, and sent 20,000 foot soldiers to continue to reinforce Li De, and now the situation in Hanzhong has become like this, the Xia army 20,000 foot soldiers defend outside the Jiange Pass, 10,000 foot soldiers guard Xingyuan Mansion, the rest of the 70,000 troops, 30,000 iron cavalry are responsible for attacking the city to the east, and the remaining 40,000 foot soldiers are responsible for guarding Li De's back road.
Outside Xiangyang City, Li De arrived here almost effortlessly, and soon occupied the Hanshui Wharf outside Xiangyang City and seized a large number of grain and grass, weapons, armor, bows, bed crossbows, arrows, gunpowder, siege equipment, medicinal materials, clothing, shoes, tankers and other important strategic materials, originally these materials were to be sent to Neixiang, Nanyang and Luoyang, but due to the limited capacity of the front, they could only be temporarily stored here, but now they have become Li De's trophies.
Of course, Li De will not be stumped by this little sweetness, which is just the beginning for Li De; Now the Song army has only 3,000 defenders in Xiangyang City, but it is not easy for Gao Chishen of Xiangyang City to take Xiangyang City, which is also the reason why Li De did not attack rashly.
The first one is presented, and there will be another one later:
