Chapter 176 Weng Lixihe

What happened to be a good plan was unexpected. Zhao Qi was eager to dispatch troops and generals to block the gap. He could not figure out what was wrong with his plan. How did Brother Cha see through his "conspiracy". In this era of information blocked, there were no mobile phones and no transmitters. Today, when information transmission was transmitted with two legs or four legs, he set up several blockade lines. How did Brother Cha obtain the loss of Fengzhou, the big camp was attacked, and the news that Xin Qin was surrounded led him to retreat, and his feet that had stepped into the gate of hell were retracted...

Zhuilun River is a river channel on the Loess Plateau. It is more than a hundred miles long, with different widths and narrow areas. The widest place is more than ten miles, and the narrowest place is only one or two miles. The two sides are mostly cliffs that are more than ten feet high and countless gullies impacted by rain. The valleys are relatively flat and gradually become a channel for business trips and travelers, and also an important marching channel. During the Song Dynasty, Xixia invaded the rivers and valleys, and it was a key defense area for the two countries.

It was already dawn at this time, but the canyon was still shrouded in shadows. On one side was the surging river water and on the other side was the marching brigade. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the valley like drums. "Xihe, thanks to you for promptly informing the news this time, otherwise I will suffer a great loss. When I go back, I will definitely reward you!" said Brother Cha to a young man behind the horse with a tired face.

"Prince Xie praises, this is the duty of a humble minister. The Song army has a grudge against me to kill my father and destroy the family, how can I not avenge it!" The young man gritted his teeth and said, this person was Xihe, the son of Weng Li, the former chief of the Quyehe army of the Xia army and the Fengzhou military envoy Weng Li, the culprit who almost failed the plan this time, was sent out of the city when the Fengzhou city was broken, with national hatred and family hatred.

After Xihe was sent out of Fengzhou City by his father, he did not go to the Xixiawei Fujun Office to join the family, but hid quietly outside the city, avoiding the inspection of Song troops, and witnessed Fengzhou being broken in only half a day and his father was killed in battle. The blood of revenge in the bones of the Dangxiang people made him in great pain. Fortunately, he was not fainted yet and knew that it was impossible to do it with his own strength. But he knew that Chage's reinforcements were not far away, so he wanted to go and surrender, but the road to Fengzhou to the outside world was blocked and he could not get out at all. He had to hide in the Zhuolun Fort and become a volunteer - collecting intelligence.

The soldiers who had been coming and going in Xihe knew everything that was happening outside the world, and knew that Chage's army had been lured into the Zhuirun River, and the pit in front was dug, so he waited for Chage to jump in. So he bribed all the natives in the village and took him out of the village. He was about to meet the troops of the Jianing Military Office. At this time, his identity as a former military supervisor played a role, and he was able to meet the commander-in-chief and informed everything he had heard.

The news brought by Xihe was so amazing. Fengzhou where they went to rescue was breached by the Zhongyong Army ten days ago. What was waiting for them in front was not piles of food, but bright swords and guns. The commander of the Jianing Army knew that the matter was too big and did not dare to decide, but he still stepped on the brakes on the edge of the cliff and ordered the troops to stop advancing and set up a warning on the spot. At the same time, he ordered people to send Xihe to Chage's tent. Finally, he did not get into the ambush circle of Hezhou Army and saved his life.

The same words were heard in the ears of Cha Ge, and he immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap. Since Fengzhou had fallen more than ten days ago, it must be fake to ask for his messenger. More than 100,000 stones of grain were even more vague. What kind of loyal and brave army was sieging Fengzhou with all their might. They had already been waiting here to dig a hole and wait for themselves to jump!

Brother Cha’s mood at this time cannot be expressed in words. Yesterday was still the ignorant child he said, as timid as a mouse, Prince Yan of the Song Dynasty who used troops randomly gave him a pretender to be a pig and eat a tiger. He was not as powerful as a bamboo shoot along the way, it was clearly someone who lured the enemy into the deep. I think those natives who offered food and supplies were his plans, and the evil gods were his tricks, in order to disrupt the morale of the army, delay time, and consume his own food and grass...

But Cha Ge is not an idiot. He fought on the battlefield as a teenager, and his mind was very similar. He quickly calmed down from shock and figured out the key. Now there are two ways in front of him: one is to continue moving forward. According to Xihe, there are only 20,000 Hezhou Army and Zhongyong Army battalion. If he gathers all his strength to attack, he may be able to take it in three to five days and arrive in Fengzhou; the other is to quickly return to the army, withdraw from Zhuirun River, and gather the entire army to fight against the Zhongyong Army fighting on the outside.

Although the first road is easy to walk, Chage believes that even if he can completely annihilate the Hezhou army, the Song army, which is defending the city, will suffer great damage. Then he will take Fengzhou and he will have to trap the empty city. Without food and grass, there will be many difficulties in the way home. With that boy's ruthlessness, he will never make him as comfortable as he has always been, and his elite will be exhausted. The second road may be more difficult, and he will have to break through the blockage of Chuankou. However, outside Chuankou, there is also his own 30,000 left-behind army as foreign aid. His own troops are still superior, and his field battle is the director. Although there will be a fierce battle, it is worth it to be able to completely annihilate the Zhongyong Army and the main force of the Hedong garrison, so that they can no longer fight and recover the lost land. It is worth paying a price.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Cha Ge chose to lead the army back and fight against the Zhongyong Army without hesitation. He knew that the Zhongyong Army could capture Fengzhou City within half a day, and its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. Now he divided his troops everywhere. In addition to his strong troops, the other several routes may become the targets of the Zhongyong Army's attack. They can first clear the periphery, and then fight with them with all their strength. This is what Zhao Zhen thought. At this time, Cha Ge was most worried about, so Cha Ge understood this and immediately ordered the army to return overnight.

In order to prevent Gukou from being blocked by the Song army, Chage sent three thousand light cavalry and fast horses back, striving to occupy Chuankou in front of the Song army, and then followed up. The Jianing Army Office was the rear army to prevent the Hezhou army from taking advantage of the situation. The army was moving rapidly. In the early morning, there were still fifty miles away from Chuankou and less than twenty miles of the vanguard. If there was noon, it would be possible to leave Sichuan at noon. However, the army marched for a day and two nights. The people had not been unarmed and the horses were unsad. There was only a short rest in the middle, giving the horses water and eating some dry food. It can be said that the people and horses were extremely tired, but under the strict order of Chage, they still struggled forward.

......

Zhao Qiong issued several general orders in succession and led the guards to gallop towards Zhuirun River. They arrived in less than an hour after thirty miles. Looking at the smoke rising from the sun in the direction of Liangu, the sound of gunfire sounded like a slight sound, Zhao Qiong knew that the battle had started there.

"Your Majesty, the 3,000 vanguards of the Xia army are less than twenty miles away from the entrance of the valley, and the brigade is less than fifty miles away from the entrance of the valley!" Jiang Fei greeted the prince and reported to him with dust on his face.

"The Xia army retreated very quickly, but we still have a chance!" Zhao Qi said, "Lin Shuo, you lead the first squadron to set up defenses in Feihu Gorge. If the Xia army is blocked for half an hour, it will be considered to complete the task and retreat immediately; Li Quan, you lead the second squadron to set up defenses in Hulejuan, and you will also hold on for half an hour; Zhao Xin, you lead the horse's strength, Wang Gang's two squadrons to set up defenses in Chukou, and arrange doubtful soldiers. You must persist until Zhao Lian's army arrives. This battle is related to the survival of our loyal and brave army, the safety of Hedong, and the future of the Song Dynasty. You must never lose this battle!"

As a general, not only should he have a far-reaching gaze, but he should also consider some extremely meticulous factors. When an ambush is fought, he must be able to calculate the number of people in a team. If they line up in a line, how long will the team be? When the head of the team enters the ambush circle, the tail can all enter the ambush circle. At the same time, the terrain, terrain, etc. must be considered, and all must be accurately calculated. When Zhao Xiao obtained the Hezhou War Report, he immediately analyzed it. The current state of the Ge army, the speed of the horse's fatigue, the road traffic status, the impact of the dark night on speed, etc., was comprehensively considered. If he acted quickly, he could still make up for it.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will be determined to complete the task!" Everyone looked at the prince and said in unison.

"Okay, it's all up to you. I'll be killed and celebrate with you!" Zhao Qiong said with a respectful respect. These people are the backbone of the Loyal and Brave Army. His confidants were helpless. If Cha Qi walked out of Chuankou, it would be a must-have to reel the tiger from the mountain and release the dragon and the sea of ​​people. It would be difficult to find such a good opportunity again. Moreover, his combat plan would be completely disrupted. Once he got entangled with Cha Qiong, Zhao Ren's troops who crossed the desert to raid Xiazhou would fall into isolation and helplessness. It would be difficult for the Loyal and Brave Army to complete this task. Years of hard work flowed eastward and war in Hedong were trapped in war. Therefore, all forces must be mobilized to put Cha Qiong into a cage.

"Erwa, is the special forces ready?" Everyone took the order and left. Zhao Qi looked back at the team of less than a hundred people following behind him and asked.

"Prince, you can go out at any time!" Erwa said with a smile.

"Very good. My body has been out of motion for a long time. Today I will go 'hunting' with you!" Zhao Qiong nodded and said.

"Prince, please tell your subordinates if you have any problems. You must not take any risk!" Erwa became anxious when he heard this. If something happened to the prince, let alone the emperor blamed him, even his parents would have to beat him to death. He hurriedly stopped him.

"Erwa, are you afraid that the special forces will not be able to maintain my safety, or do you think that my ability is not worthy of acting with you!" Zhao Qi asked almost to Erwa's nose. Erwa nodded, thinking about it, and shook his head, "Since it's not right, what else can I say? Get on the horse and leave!" After Zhao Qi said that, he slapped his horse's butt, and the war horse ran forward with pain. He stepped forward and grabbed the sad bridge, but did not recognize the stirrup, flew on the horse, and left in the dust.

"Come on, if the prince is injured, just cut his head by himself!" It was also terrible for the honest man to be ruthless. Erwa shouted at his subordinates fiercely.
