Weicheng in Shuzhong, Li Yue's 50,000 troops have arrived under Weicheng, after Weicheng is Mianzhou, Mianzhou is the main army of the Sichuan Shu army, Wu Jie's 100,000 troops are stationed in Mianzhou, and there are 100,000 troops stationed around Weicheng, forming an encirclement around the entire Weicheng.
Of course, Li Yue doesn't know about these, in fact, Wu Jie, not only has these 200,000 troops, but also hundreds of thousands of troops in Chengdu and Zizhou, relying on the rich Sichuan and Shu army as long as the soldiers are enough, they can even expand the army by one million, which is extremely unfavorable for Li Yue, if he can't win with one blow, then Li Yue is facing the danger of annihilation.
Outside the Xia army camp outside Weicheng, Xu Da hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Li Yueyu: "Big handsome, big handsome; Oh no, I just got a report from the rout, and the Sword Gate Pass was lost. ” "What are you talking about" Li Yue stood up from the handsome chair in shock; grabbed Xu Da's collar through the handsome case and asked, "Say what you just said again." ” "The Jianmen Pass has been lost, and our retreat back to Hanzhong has been completely cut off."
Xu Da said solemnly to Li Yue.
Li Yueqiang sat on the handsome chair with spirit and said: "This is a trap, a trap from the beginning; Wu Jie's this is to introduce Ben Shuai and the Yizhou army into the land of Sichuan and Shu, and then gather and annihilate them" Li Yue is right, but it is too late to understand, now the 50,000 Yizhou army led by Li Yue has become a lone army, if it is not out, the Song army will send a large army to besiege in the near future, leaving Li Yue with little chance, and the hope that the 50,000 army can survive is already very small.
"Dashuai, what should we do next?"
Xu Da asked Li Yue.
"Don't panic, Ben Shuai still has an army of 50,000 people, and his firearms are sharp; As long as we defeat the Song army, there is still a chance.
Li Yue got up from the handsome chair and walked to the map hanging in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the map, Li Yue's eyes flashed a sharp gaze.
Then Li Yue ordered: "The decree is that before the main force of the Song army arrives, all the soldiers of the army are not allowed to leave the camp, and everyone has enough wine and meat every day." ” "Dashuai, what does this mean" Xu Da asked puzzled.
"Just do it."
Li Yue said very indifferently.
"Yes, the last general commands" On the road from Mianzhou to Weicheng, an army of 100,000 people is moving forward, in fact, not only this road, from all the roads around Weicheng, there are Song troops gathering here, in order to eliminate the Yizhou army led by Li Yue, Wu Jie, in addition to mobilizing the main army of 200,000, also mobilized a large number of new troops from other places in Sichuan and Shu, ready to completely overwhelm Li Yue with absolute numerical superiority.
"Report, report, report to the marshal, since the Xia army arrived outside the city of Weicheng, there has been no movement."
A flying rider came to report.
"There is no movement, this shouldn't be," a general next to Wu Jie, said puzzled: "Marshal, do you think there will be any conspiracy in the Xia army." ” Wu Jie sneered: "What conspiracy can there be to order the armies of all walks of life to speed up, even if there is a conspiracy, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of this commander are afraid that they will not be able to take down the 50,000 Xia army." ” After receiving the military order from Wu Jie, the armies of all walks of life immediately stepped up to encircle the Xia army; The news that the sword gate was closed and lost soon spread to the Ziwei Palace, the capital of the Great Xia Emperor, and after receiving the news, Li Liangzuo frowned and asked Gao Wei beside him: "Gao Aiqing, what is the situation of the Yizhou Legion now, and how much grain and grass are there?"
” "Your Majesty, the losses of the Yizhou Legion are heavy, and the baggage of the army can last for about twenty days at most."
Gao Wei reported to Li Liangzuo.
"I don't know what Aiqing can do," Li Liangzuo continued to ask Gao Wei.
"Jianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you send a large army from Guanzhong to Hanzhong at this time, and then attack Jianmen Pass and enter Sichuan and Shu, it will take more than a month to say the least, and I am afraid that the army will not be able to hold on at that time."
Gao Wei said to Li Liangzuo.
"Then what do you suggest?"
asked Li Liangzuo to Gao Wei.
Gao Wei pointed to the map of the Great Xia Empire and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the fastest direction of support for our army should be the plateau area, Your Majesty can order the defenders stationed in Xizhi City to swoop down on Sichuan and Shu from the plateau, attack the Song army from the flank, and send an envoy to Dali to let the Dali Emperor send troops to the Northern Expedition; After the Song army's back road was copied, it was bound to return to the division to rescue, so although it could not save the Yizhou legion, it could also help the Yizhou legion reduce the pressure. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "I'll leave this matter to you, in the future, you can just discuss and deal with these things yourself, I can't stand your toss when I'm old." ” "Your Majesty" Gao Wei wanted to say something to Li Liangzuogang. was interrupted by Li Liangzuo: "I'm tired, Aiqing go back" "Yes, the old minister retired."
Gao Wei saluted Li Liangzuo and said.
Li Liangzuo is indeed old, his energy is not as good as before, and Li Liangzuo is even more physically and mentally exhausted in the war, as long as there is no deviation in the general strategic direction, Li Liangzuo generally does not personally come forward to deal with it, and now the Xia army has a complete command system, and the weapons and equipment are greatly ahead of the Song army I don't know how many years, if this is still not won, Li Liangzuo simply hit his head and died.
After the military order of the imperial capital of Great Xia was issued, the army stationed in the city of Xizhi was immediately mobilized, and at the same time, a large number of government soldiers were temporarily recruited from the surrounding tribes, with a strength of more than 30,000 people, and they were all cavalry, and the Xia army soldiers in the Hehuang Valley also began to assemble and prepare to form a two-way reinforcement army to support the Sichuan and Shu operations.
In the Dali Imperial Palace, the capital of Dali; The envoy of the Daxia Empire resident in Dali handed over the letter of state asking to see the Emperor of Dali, which was sent to Dali by Yipintang through special channels at the fastest speed, and the envoy resident in Dali did not dare to have any neglect after receiving this letter of state, and immediately asked to see the Emperor of Dali.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Great Xia Empire ask to see you."
The internal supervisor reported to the Emperor Dali.
"Hurry up, please."
Emperor Dali said.
Today's Great Xia Empire is in full swing, as a small country in the southwest, the emperor of Dali has not dared to snub the envoys of the Great Xia Empire, after the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom arrived, the Dali Emperor walked down from the dragon chair and said: "The envoy came to see me today."
"Your Majesty, this is the letter of the Great Xia Emperor."
The envoy presented the letter of state and said: "Now that our Xia army has invaded the land of Sichuan and Shu, His Majesty of my family has invited Dali to attack the Song Dynasty together on the friendship between the two countries, so as to show that the two countries have a long time. ” "My Dali is located in southern Xinjiang, the country is small and the people are weak, and self-protection is insufficient, so how can I talk about attacking the Song Dynasty; If you rashly raise troops, I am afraid that Dali will not have peace in the country from now on," Emperor Dali said to the envoy.
"Your Majesty is too worried, who dares to touch the Dali Kingdom in the Great Xia Empire, that is, it is the enemy of the Great Xia Empire, and if you don't send troops, please think twice, and the foreign minister has retired
