Chapter 256 Putting the Torch on

In fact, the entire battlefield is not far apart from each other, but because of the crazy scouts of the two countries, they cut into two major war zones.

Qin Hai was running carefully on the mountain road. On several occasions, he almost was discovered by the enemy. Finally, when it was dawn, he could see Qingeling. He turned over and dismounted, patted Aiqi, and said softly: "Dao Hui, go ahead, don't be discovered by the Xixia people."

The Hui Xiangma didn't understand it, so he looked at him with his big eyes, then lowered his head, and drank the stream flowing down from the mountain.

Qin Hai turned his head and lurked carefully towards Qingeling.

Found that dilapidated temple.

Someone actually cleaned the temple, and incense burner was also offered to the incense burner.

The people of Xixia believed in Buddhism, and even if they were destroyed temples, there were soldiers coming to worship.

It is not safe to hide in this place. Qin Hai sighed in his heart, but in order to spy on the news from the eyes of the Xixia people, which scout is safe?

Qin Hai carefully pushed open the incense table, and a hole was exposed below. Qin Hai got in, slowly moved the incense table back to its original place with his hand, and then crawled forward along the cave.

After a while, I saw a little light in front of me. A cellar with a faint oil lamp lit inside. The three scouts stayed in this harsh environment for several days.

Qin Hai said in surprise: "Wu Kui, why are you like this?"

Wu Kui's hair was slit, but his forehead was pierced, so he made a cruel decision to cut the skin on his forehead with a knife. He couldn't just cut that piece, and then cut it on his face. Wu Kui grinned and said, "If this is not the case, I can't go out."

Then the three of them put down the knife in their hands one after another.

There is no way, you have to be on guard at any time.

Qin Hai looked at Wu Kui's big teeth and thought of another person. Hu Qian.

He also heard about the case last year. He thought to himself. These brothers are really heroes, so did Sun Mian. He actually arrested these people as prisoners and imprisoned them for many days. No wonder God came to deal with it. The matter had passed long ago, so he had to talk about the serious matter. Qin Hai said: "Minister Wang has an order."

He repeated Wang Ju's words.

"Good, Magistrate Wang wants to have a big one," the three of them smacked their tongues together.

"A battle with the world!"

Wu Kui was excited and said, "It's okay. I believe they will agree."

He leaned his ears on the wall and listened, sure that no one came over. He climbed out of the cave and walked to the Xixia military camp. This was mainly the rear, and most of the Xixia troops were gathered from various departments, so no one paid attention to him when he looked at his bright big head.

Then Wu Kui found the Yeligu Realm. This time, the Western Xia gathered troops, and several Yeli tribes were also recruited hundreds of soldiers to come, but fortunately, they were just organized into two teams of troops. They were all stationed in the rear and were stationed in this area. They were responsible for the transportation of logistics supply and a coolie.

But the only one who knows the truth is Yeligujie and another person.

Others have not disclosed it to the present for the sake of keeping it confidential.

The reason why Wu Kui is confident is that Wang Ju offers the conditions.

Once after the war, several of their tribes migrate, they will extract several places with abundant water and grass, such as where Ji'er Village is located, and their people will amass their people.

Secondly, we are planning to withdraw 20,000 yuan in money and silk, buy some horse, cattle and sheep food for them, build a solid village wall, equip some defensive weapons, build houses, and manage some daily necessities.

This was just the beginning. Wang Ju also promised to withdraw some money and build some small water conservancy projects for them in the future, such as building a small water weir and a water diversion channel. If you are willing to farm half-cultivate, you will also send someone to guide them on how to farm. You may even broaden the roads in the rear and ensure contact with the rear. When the Xixia plunders, it will be easier for the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers to come for emergency rescue.

and various other conditions.

These tribes were in trouble on the other side of the mountain. When they heard Wang Ju offer such conditions, the tribe leaders blushed and were immediately moved on the spot.

Besides, they played a role in providing information at the beginning. Wang Ju didn't think about how to use it during key points, but he knew that these tribes would come in handy. Not only were there hundreds of young men in the military camp, but there were also men in the rear villages, and they were not very far away from here, only a few dozen miles away, and the farthest was less than ninety miles away.

If used well, the court will inevitably have rewards, and the policies will continue to be tilted in the future. The latter one is very important, just like the Murong tribe in Huanzhou, which grew rapidly due to the support of the court.

Wu Kui walked aside and talked to him.

"No, we have few people, I'm afraid we can't do it." Yeligujie said.

"At the fourth update, we will send two battalions of troops to sneak over."

"Then you're sure, but how do you get your troops?"

"If you come here, act, but if you come here, don't act." Wu Kui said. He didn't know much about the specifics.

In fact, it is a bit difficult. From the morning, we must send scouts to clean up the front line of Liyuan Fort. The officers and soldiers of the two battalions set off from Liyuan Fort at noon, otherwise it would be too late. Then, along the road where Wang Ju attacked Zali Village last time, it was actually impossible to call it a road. Almost most of the time was crossing mountains and ridges, and in the evening, it was necessary to sneak down to Zali Village. There was no heavy blow, and no people had moved there yet.

This is the first step.

Fortunately, after Zhang Yu killed the officials in Xinjiang, there were not many people, and they would not send a large number of soldiers out to patrol.

There is a road in Zali Village that leads to Baibao City, and then marches along this road. It happened to be dark at that time. It is difficult to not be dark. If you can reach Zali Village at dusk, the speed will be very fast.

But if you don’t sneak to Baibao City, and after sneaking for more than ten miles, you will start crossing mountains and ridges again, not too far apart, or even less than ten miles away. But even these ten miles of land, it is very difficult to cross steep mountains and ridges. Of course, this will also become safe. If you have a good path, do you dare to walk? Then come to Shipeng and meet the Yeli clan.

Wu Kui said again: "I'll tell you another good news. Last night, more than 30,000 people under Li Liangzuo were wiped out."

"Ah, no wonder there was a commotion ahead, so I'm more confident to convince everyone to agree."

After the two of them said that, Yeligujie and several subordinates caught a sheep and came to Qingyouling to barbecue. However, they deliberately picked some wet dead leaves and came over. Then they lit it, and the smoke immediately started to rise.

A group of patrol soldiers rushed over immediately and shouted, "What are you doing?"

“We are roasting lamb.”

"Is there anyone roasting lamb like this?" A small school came over and quickly slashed the fire out, whipped it hard on several people with a whip, and lifted the sheep away. The few people dared not speak out.

But the patrol soldiers never expected that the smoke had already risen, although it was not a wolf smoke. It could not be seen by people dozens of miles away. However, a few miles away, there were three places around ten miles away who noticed the smoke and noticed that it was rising from Qing'e Ridge...

Yeligujie took his men back in disappointment, but soon he rode his horse and quietly left the camp. However, after he left, Xixia sent many soldiers to build the Twelve Pan Forts, which were not far from the location of the granary. This incident would be very unfavorable to Wang Ju's entire plan.

…………

Xia Kai and Bao Zhao carefully climbed up the cliff wall.

The west mountain to which Dashun City is not high, but after Fan Zhongyan built Dashun City, the officials behind them successively expanded and wanted to expand the city wall. They had to use stones and soil. Therefore, the method they used was very similar to Wang Ju's method in Wangjiazhai. They deliberately dug out the cliff wall of the back mountain, took out some stone and clay, and combined with the soil taken from other places, and used this to build the city wall.

This makes the back mountain steeper.

Nearly both of them could find a place to borrow power.

Moreover, there were enemies on all sides, and they could not call the Song army above.

So the two of them moved upward carefully, foot by foot, but before they were halfway through, they lit torches and looked at them coldly.

Xia Kai quickly took out the military card from his arms. This is really not a misunderstanding. If he is killed by his own people, that is wrong.

The Song army looked at the signs above, and Xia Kai said again: "We were sent by Zhizhou Cai to deliver the letter. Dashun City was surrounded on all sides, so we had to use this method to get up."

"Wait a minute," said a ten general.

He quickly took the rope from behind and hung the two of them up.

"Take us to see General Zhong and Officer Zhang."

"Okay, come with me, by the way, brother, it seems that a lot of Xixia soldiers were killed in the rear, right?"

"Yeah, 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses in Xixia."

"What can I do? No wonder I went up to the top of the city during the day to watch, and the other party lost a large area of ​​camp."

In fact, it is not true that 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers were killed. There were 8,000 soldiers and horses in Rouyuan Village, and 23,000 soldiers and horses in Huachi County, but many of them escaped. More than 1,000 people escaped from the direction of Jintang City, and nearly 3,000 people were escaped. However, not all of them escaped after Ye Fengma. Many of them died and finally risked their lives to escape from the rear. Zhang Yu was happy to kill, but the proportion of escape was the highest, and there were also two or three thousand people. There were also people who were not caught and were hiding in the mountains and forests. Some even lost their direction. Some could escape in the future, and some were also caught in the future. In addition, it depends on the situation. If the battle was initiated and the Xixia people were defeated and the central army retreated, these people would have no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. So now the number of people killed or captured by the Song army is only about 23,000.

However, even Li Liangzuo could not accept this loss.

Of course, Xia Bao didn’t know the difference. I was wrong. Isn’t it more than 30,000 soldiers? It has not been falsely reported at all.

The two were asked curiously while taking them to the city.

Xia Kai took out a wax book from his arms and handed it to Zhongjian.

After the diagnosis is checked, it is handed over to Zhang Yu for examination.

Xia Kai said: "General Zong, Yao Tui, if you agree, please send someone to light three torches on the top of the mountain and swing them three times."

This is also impossible. There are too many enemies, and scouts will encounter danger at any time. Therefore, some precautions must be taken.

For example, if the two of them come, they are repeatedly warned. Even if they are captured, they will not blame you. They may even warn them not to resist. They may be able to be rescued later, but they must be in front and eat the wax book into their stomachs when the enemy is not careful.
