10. Will discuss the unification of Wancheng

"Now my Tang Dynasty has occupied all the Baiyushan Mountains, and the geographical advantage is entirely in my mind. The bandits in Pingxia have a vast sea on their backs, and they are blocked from the mountains. The momentum of being trapped in the mountains has been established. The imperial camp has divided the troops and horses. As for the Tongwan City to take the scattered order, those who violate the order will not be punished will not be merciless." In October, when the other two prime ministers Jia Dan and Du Huangshang took their positions, Gao Yue climbed the Papaya Yuan in Mizhi, and in front of 20,000 Dingwu, Yining Army soldiers, and 20,000 "Shu Qiang Yicheng", they formally marched and worshiped the banner, and swore to initiate a general meeting on Tongwan City!

At this moment, the walls of the Yellow River stand thousands of feet high, the waves roll, and the giant spirits roar, rushing down from the mountains and ridges on both sides. Amid the endless sound of waves, Gao Yue's troops raised the black and white Pixiu flag, and from Mizhi along the Wuding River, officially heading towards the Yinzhou Yuhe Fort. In the curved and wrinkled Weibei Plateau, the elite soldiers and generals of the Tang army were vigorous and vigorous, and the team rolled west like a giant dragon, carrying the momentum of wind and rain.

The first one is nearly 20,000 so-called "Shu Qiang Yicong". Half of them are light cavalry and the other half are archers. Some of them had rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, but now they have become Gao Jigong's most fierce front-hand drive, with horse hooves light and slime feathers white;

Next were the infantry battalions of the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army, carrying soldiers with long necks and long necks, wearing croak armor, and walking at the forefront of the team; then were the boring and rake hands covered with chain mail, leather armor, and cotton jackets lined with cotton jackets. The two teams were connected at the beginning and end, and the spears were raised together. From a distance, there was a forest moving in the canyon.

Then there were the jumping soldiers and chariot gunmen, gun archers, crossbowmen, and jumping soldiers holding flat-long swords with both hands, and heavy armor; while the gunmen held three pounds and five pounds of hand-held guns on their shoulders, and there were fire twists on their waists, cartridges, lead ball bags, hemp paper rolls, wooden horses, and rode sticks. The crossbowmen carried the ball signs and carried the crossbow machine on their shoulders. On the middle of the earth road of their team, mules and horses and oxes were leading shields, cannon cars, baggage cars, side vans, and light vans. The wheels were thunderous;

What went further were the cavalry camps of the two armies. Among them, the war horses of the Dingwu Army's trapped camp were uniformly put on the "co-preparatory vests" in the style of Nanzhao. The knights and mounts were both heavily armored, lined with cloth clothes, holding heavy and long horse spears, and feathers were erected on the horse's head door curtain armor, which was majestic and terrifying.

The core of these cavalry support is the tent of the chief of the Imperial Camp, Gao Yue, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the three yamen and the yamen. This most popular prosecutor, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Imperial Camp, the chief of the Dingyuan Censor, the founding Duke of Ji County, the founding Duke of Ji County, was just 38 years old.

He and Lu Zhi, who was the minister of the same age, were the youngest and most promising powerhouses in this empire.

The other two prime ministers Jia Dan and Du Huangshang who were supervising the other way were actually just his deputy.

Of course, Gao Yue's request for such a deployment was also of profound meaning. Princess Lingxu's warning was still in mind. Even if he was responsible for the entire north military, he still asked the emperor to send two prime ministers to the west route of Xiaoguan-Saint Road and Hedong-Zhenwu Shanyu Protectorate's Office. The purpose was to avoid suspicion. Before going to the expedition, the emperor told him that you could independently recruit officials from the court, but Gao Yue also refused, saying that the military affairs would be handed over to the three yamen.

On October 7, Gao Yue's 40,000 elite troops arrived at the Yuhe Fort station in Yinzhou. Han Tan led 3,000 soldiers to welcome him. After Gao Yue comforted and greeted him, he asked him to "hold the barriers". The main responsibility of the army under his command was to ensure the transportation and supply route between Yuhe Fort, Mizhi and Suide.

On the ninth day, Du Huangshang supervised Hun Yu and Fenghua Army. Li Ziliang Fengcheng Army left Mayi, crossed Shanyang, and met with Zhang Guangsheng, who went south to join the three thousand Zhenwu cavalrymen, and gathered at Yuhe Fort along the Emperor Yuanchuan (i.e. Mingtangchuan of the Song Dynasty). The total number of troops and horses on this route was 20,000, including 12,000 Fenghua Army, 5,000 Fengcheng Army, and 3,000 Zhenwu Army.

Almost at the same time, Jia Dan arrived in Qingzhou, and then Wu Xianfu's army of 5,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Wanfu led 5,000 Shenwei troops, followed Jia Pushe to the north of Baimachuan; Dai Xiurui Jingsai's army also sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, leaving Yanzhou to cross Jinming Road, and both sides gathered at the Saint Road built by Helian Bobo in the past, and then crossed the canyon of Baiyushan and came to Wuyankou. At the same time, in Jingzhou, there were three thousand cavalry "Shu Qiang Yicong" joining them, and Shatu Khan Zhu Xie was loyal to him, and Tuyuhun Khan Murong Junchao also led 3,000 elite cavalry to join. This is the Western Army under Jia Dan, with a total of 24,000 troops.

Gao Chongwen, Luo Yuanguang, Lun Weiming's Shencai Decisive Army, and a total of 11,000 soldiers and horses began to go east to Naiwangjing area, preparing to join Jia Dan at any time and run together from west to control Wancheng.

Kang Rizhi sent out 5,000 Lingwushuo square soldiers, took the ships provided by Jingyuan Water Post, and arrived at the Tiande Army's garrison in the western section of Hequ through the Yellow River. He joined forces with the two thousand soldiers of the Tiande Jiedu governor Xu Baohui, and received the support of three thousand cavalry of the Uighur Wuyi Khan. Then he went south to Hequ, galloped through Huluo Yanchi, and then headed south to Shiziling, trying to block the passage of Tongwancheng from the north.

In terms of logistics supply, Gao Yue had previously ordered the army to be in Qingjian, Yanzhou, Danzhou, and his own field in Funing and other places to be effective, and the 300,000 shi of military rations were solved. In addition, there were 400,000 shi of military rations seized by the Duzhi Department in advance. He was also traveling a long distance to transport them to Yuhebao by carriages and horses. In addition, the Hekou Patrol in Feng'an Military City to the west also stocked up 200,000 shi of food, which could be transported to Lingwu and even Tiande Military City by a thousand-hu boat.

For a time, there were 90,000 Tang troops from all directions, passing through Baiyushan and heading towards Tongwancheng from all directions.

In Tongwan City, in the Blue Heavenly Palace built on the white earth rammed platform, Yuan Hui sat on the throne with a frustration. The Tang army in front of him was intensively and frequently dispatched, and it was impossible not to reach his ears. Yuan Hui also knew this time:

The Tang family was serious this time. With three prime ministers, Gao Yue, Jia Dan and Du Huangshang, they used nearly 100,000 Pixiu, with a clear purpose, that is, to crush and capture this majestic Tongwan City.

Once Tongwan City is destroyed, the Xia Kingdom and the Xia people will no longer exist. Whether Tang slaughtered us all, sold us as slaves, or were more gentle, sent to cotton fields and workshops everywhere to work, it means that this regime will completely disappear in the desert and rivers of Baiyu Mountain, and its ending is the same as that of the former Helian booming Daxia, and it turns into an illusory dream.

Soon, Prince Nixiang led all the Pingxia chiefs who were still loyal to him and stood in the palace in line to discuss strategies to retreat to the enemy.

There are only three roads:

Article 1: Gather the strength of the entire clan, stick to the rule of all cities, and live and die with them;

Article 2: Abandon Tongwancheng, withdraw the vast vast sea (Muwusu Desert), and break it into pieces, causing the Tang family to lose interest in completely encirclement;
