The court was already in trouble.

As the Western Xia Iron Cavalry broke through the Eastern Great Wall, these news spread inland, and it was rumored that Gao Fangping ordered the abandonment of the Great Wall. As a result, it was not only Bianjing, but also the angry youth group and scholars across the country began to worry and began to curse.

Wild beasts bite people because they don’t understand and they are afraid of humans. So yes, the current scolding of Gao Fangping is also the same.

There were even terrifying remarks above the court, saying that Gao Fangping lost power and humiliated the country. As the commander of the northern commander of Your Majesty, he actually took the initiative to order the Yongxing Army to give up the Great Wall of the Eastern Region and allow the Hanwa people to be in dire straits.

For a moment, they were excited and shouted at the top of their lungs to change their coach.

In the past, they were so good at making a show, but they were so good at following the trend to get benefits. But this time they were different, so they were really scared.

Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu both began to question, and they really had the intention to take back Gao Fangping's appointment.

From Zhao Ji's perspective, he was afraid of losing his reputation for land. Even if he could not defeat Xixia in the end, he could not bear this fault, because Gao Fangping was the mascot chosen by Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji strongly activated the person. If something happened to Gao Fangping, it means that Zhao Ji used the wrong person and caused a major fault.

As for Gao Qiu, he was not afraid of anything. In short, even if he was wrong, Gao Fangping would not die if he retreated. But if he didn't come back, he would really die on the battlefield. The Gao family would be the last one and would be a big deal. Gao Qiu had this mentality and virtue, so Gao also advocated changing coaches.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuye vowed to protect himself to the death, saying that no matter what, although the defeated Northwest Front Army appeared, it did not really hurt the bones. Gao Fangping must have a back move. And Lao Zhang emphasized: Since ancient times, changing generals at the last stage has been an absolute taboo.

Cai Jing supports Zhang Shuye.

From Lao Cai's perspective, he knew too much about the other soldiers' grandsons, and Gao Fangping's deployment might not be right. Lao Cai does not understand military affairs, but he knows that the kid is really the most capable shark among civil officials. If there is still someone who can withstand Xixia, the biggest possibility is Gao Fangping. At the same time, if he is disobedient and if something goes wrong, he will destroy his political status in one fell swoop.

So Cai Jing supported Zhang Shuye.

Tao Jiefu hated Gao Fangping for giving up the Great Wall plan and cursed for two days, saying, "You guy doesn't dare to fight, so get back to me. My old man put on armor again, it's not that he has to rely on you young people."

However, that was just an angry word. Of course, Lao Tao knew how stupid it was to change the generals in the last battle. Now that he had lost the Great Wall, it would be useless to kill Gao Fangping. Moreover, although he seemed to be timid, the two main combat troops in the northwest were not really hurt. What Zhang Shuye said makes sense. According to his kid's previous style, there should be some trouble later.

So, Tao Jiefu reluctantly agreed to temporarily protect Gao Fangping.

In this situation, the first wave of replacing Gao Fangping's voice was suppressed by several prime ministers.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of sunshine was revealed now, as if it was covered with dark clouds.

Gao Fangping defeated 11,000 ruthless people at the Maling Roadkou, killed 5,000 enemies and captured nearly 3,000 prisoners. Then he arrived at the court.

Zhao Ji was as happy as a child and no longer wanted to change generals. He didn't understand what the relationship between Shuibo and Xixia has to do, but it was always a huge victory no matter what. Anyway, Shuibo and Xixia are all enemies of the court and the emperor. No matter who he beats, it is good news to defeat the enemy.

Zhang Shuye and Cai Jing, who had previously supported Gao Fangping, were relieved. Although this big victory was not against Xixia, it was also considered stable in the rear. Now that the dark clouds are covered with good news, it is a way to inspire the country's dynasty.

Tao Jiefu was completely stunned and became ecstatic. The reason why the northwest had already been in a hurry earlier, but Lao Tao had been delaying in dispatching Gao Fangping to the west because of the trouble of water bore, Lao Tao hoped that Xiao Gao would stabilize the backyard as soon as possible and then go to the outside world.

But the war has never been urged, and the northwest could not stand it, so Tao Jiefu hurriedly ordered Xiao Gao to send troops to the northwest to stop the water and dodge, although they were no longer a problem than the Western Xia Iron Cavalry.

Unexpectedly, Gao Fangping did have a second move and did not raise an army as scheduled. It turned out that he had really made a big move and had to fight the coward before moving west with confidence.

"Report"

Just this time, the military newspaper belonging to the Privy Council was sent directly, and he recited in public: "The Northern Army led by Gao Fangping has passed Huguan as of the date of sending the report, and continue to march in the direction of Hanguguan."

"What! The Privy Council issued the order to send troops for so many days, but he still has not been on the battlefield. Now he has arrived at Huguan?" The big men in the court who did not understand military affairs were immediately furious, and a group of adults cursed excitedly.

Zhao Ji didn't understand either, and was frightened by them, because Zhao Ji had no idea where should Gao Fangping go at this time?

Cai Jing didn't understand where Gao Fangping should be, so he looked at Kaifeng Mansion worriedly and said, "What do you think, Yuan Fang?"

Lao Teng does have experience in how to make money, but Teng Yuanfang has no opinion on this and hurriedly blamed Tao Jiefu.

Tao Jiefu was very happy and said with his beard, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The old minister also made a mistake earlier. He always thought Gao Fangping was too young and did not understand military affairs. But now it seems that we are thinking too much, let's talk about the shocking battle of the Maling Roadkou."

After a pause, Tao Jiefu turned around and pointed to the military area map and said, "What shocked me the most is that the heavy rain is going on! Don't yell at the scene. No one knows better what marching is than me. According to time and route, after the great victory of Maling Daokou, under such a difficult and heavy rain, Gao Fangping's troops passed by Feixiang, Cizhou in just a short time, and through a county, Licheng, and arrived at Huguan again... I said in charge that this is an absolute miracle of my marching history in the Song Dynasty. In such a season and environment, I was a person who led troops to fight tens of thousands of miles and said frankly that even light cavalrymen could not do it! But Gao Fangping did it with a mixed infantry army!"

After pausing, Tao Jiefu said again: "Although it is not yet possible to fully prove his 'brave and good at fighting', just in terms of marching, it is enough to show his ability to control the army. Therefore, I suggest that he wait and see him carefully for the time being, and expect him to enter the front as soon as possible. Xiao Gao should have the ability to temporarily withstand Xixia, not to mention victory, but in the initial generation of Yan'an, Jinzhou, I have confidence that he can do it."

No one understands this. Since Tao Jiefu said that, everyone can only listen to it this way.

Zhao Ji then wiped away the cold sweat and said breathlessly: "Since Tao Qing is so safe, I am relieved. I hope Xiao Gaoji will resist the situation for the time being. I also know that the people of Xixia have always been fierce and difficult to mess with, and I hope that we will not lose our country. This time we can only lose less as a winner."

Everyone was surprised to hear that the emperor actually said that he would win less and lose. Damn this is the rule on my mahjong table? How can I apply the military battlefield?

Therefore, during the first war, the tone of the great court basically set. Although they did not understand Gao Fangping's strategy of giving up the Great Wall, they were helpless. After Gao Fangping handed over the answers to the Shenmeng and the great victory of Maling Roadkou, they could only "live and wait and see" him for the time being.

Yes, Tao Jiefu's words are more appropriate. He can only wait and see carefully and cannot be optimistic for the time being. After all, the little shark was politically incorrect during this national war, so he had already let the Xixia people enter the country.

The entire Song Dynasty was afraid of being beaten by barbarians, so Gao Fangping gave up the Great Wall tactics. In their eyes, they had lost their territory and really didn't expect to get it back. Under the suppression of several prime ministers who harmed the country and the people, everyone's requirements for Gao Fangping are not very high for the time being. As long as he can not continue to lose his territory, it is a victory. In other words, the emperor said that he would win less...

Gao Fangping is not easy. The most difficult thing is not the march or the final defeat of Cha Ge. It is the political pressure from the first three rows.

Yes, Gao Fangping's strategy of giving up the Great Wall is too outrageous. For the moment, it is an almost unforgivable mistake. Zhao Ji is spoiling me, Xiao Gao. Tao Jiefu understands military affairs anymore, but they are not on the ground. This strategy of relying on face-scanning cannot be used all the time, because the character will always be ruined.

Everything is said to be a whole. The so-called success and defeat of the enemy will eventually win the battle between Song and Xia, no matter what mistakes Gao Fangping has, it will eventually be forgotten by everyone. If he loses in the end, he will really take the blame. Giving up the Great Wall, the reputation of losing power and humiliating the country will really come. Falling out of favor will really happen.

Therefore, the most urgent thing is not to consider the overall plan of the battle between Song and Xia. It is urgent to have a local victory against the Xixia people as a "pill".

The pill is not to stabilize the morale of the army, but to stabilize the political spirit of the first three rows. At this time, political spirit is much more important than military spirit. To put it bluntly, Gao Fangping is really not afraid of Brother Cha, but he is really afraid that the court will suddenly make trouble, and a few imperial edicts will call me back to Beijing. Although he will not be killed by them like Grandpa Yue after returning, he will be all crying, and the people of Xixia smiled and turned aside...

Relying on various mechanisms to protect it, plus the support of will and morale. With the speed of everyone's eye, Gao Fangping's troops officially rested in Hezhong Prefecture at the end of May, from here, it will be the official road to war.

Seeing the flag erected with the "Northern Capital Transportation Envoy" and the continuous formation of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the prefect Zhang Weiyi, who was worriedly observing on the city, slapped his thigh and said, "We're finally here, come out of the city to welcome the child."

This old guy is a relative of Zhang Kangguo, so the old guy usually hates Gao Fangping to the core, but the situation is critical this time. It is rumored that the eastern Great Wall has been completely lost. The 400,000 troops of Western Xia have advanced straight in. The war is almost on the rise of Yan'an Prefecture. For the cavalry cluster, it takes less than ten days to get from Yan'an Prefecture to Hezhong Prefecture. Once the Hezhong Prefecture falls, Zhang Weiyi really doesn't know how to deal with himself? Should he guard or run? If he guards, he will be dead, and if he runs, he will never be able to raise his head forever. The official road is over.

So Zhang Weiyi of course urgently needed to see Gao Fangping enter Hezhong Prefecture.
