  Chapter 957 The Battle to Destroy the Nation (11)

When Li Yanqing returned to the barracks, the barracks was extremely lively. Liu Kai sent his son Liu Ziyu to send 20,000 horses to Li Yanqing's main army, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire barracks. Soldiers ran out of the barracks to check. The loot obtained in the Hexi Victory.

  When Li Yanqing came back, Liu Qi hurriedly greeted him, and said excitedly: "This time all the war horses must be given to our Tiger Guards!"

  Wang Gui suddenly said angrily: "Why, is our Long Xiangwei raised by his stepmother?"

  Li Yanqing's face sank, "What are you talking about?"

  Both of them didn't dare to say anything, Li Yanqing gave them a hard look, and then said: "According to the previous regulations, those who have trained cavalry should be equipped with horses according to the order of training. This rule can't be messed up!"

At present, the Jingzhao Army has a total of 40,000 cavalry, but the army will send infantry to Gyeongju in turn to train cavalry every year. The training period is usually two months. After new horses are available, they will be distributed to trained soldiers in order, and untrained soldiers. It is not qualified to distribute war horses. This has always been the rule of Jing Zhaojun.

  Li Yanqing said to the marching Sima again: "Take these horses down for registration first, and then distribute them to the soldiers according to the order of training!"

   "Follow the order!"

  The Marching Sima left first, and Li Yanqing said to Liu Kai and Wang Gui: "Notify all the generals above the command to come to the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters, and the army guarding the city will also be notified!"

At present, the control system has been divided into three levels, including the control of the upper army, the control of the middle army, and the control of the lower army. The upper army control is the current deputy capital, including Wang Gui, Liu Qi, Wu Jie, Liu Ziyu, Cao He and Yan Qing. , They are also the generals of the guards. The central army is controlled by the deputy generals of the guards. There are currently 14 people. The lower army is controlled by the former commander. There are currently 28 people. The 48 commanders plus Li Yanqing, The current senior general group of the Jingzhao Army was formed.

   But there are not so many in the barracks now, there are only about thirty-two people. Half an hour later, the thirty-two generals are all sitting neatly on both sides of the big table in the Chinese army tent.

  Li Yanqing slowly said to everyone: "Last night I asked a question for everyone to solve. I wonder if anyone can think of the answer?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't seem to agree. At this time, Liu Kai smiled and said: "We went back to discuss it. Everyone thinks that the biggest weakness of the Xixia Army is disunity. The imperial court is in a cold war, can we use this disunity to divide them?"

  Li Yanqing smiled and said: "It's a little bit aside, so let's talk about it specifically, how to divide them?"

  Liu Kai shook his head apologetically, "I haven't thought of a specific solution yet."

Li Yanqing continued: "Wang Guidu came to me just now, and he pointed out that military rations are the biggest weakness of the Xixia army, but I told him that military rations are their weakness, but military rations alone can't strangle them to death. The government is very close, and they can get supplies in no time."

Several generals bowed their heads in shame. It seems that they are the same plan. Li Yanqing continued: "I think the biggest weakness of the Xixia Army lies in their army composition. They are actually composed of eight tribal armies. Their highest interests It's not the court, but your own tribe, what do you think of?"

  Wang Gui slammed the table and stood up and said, "I understand, the best strategy is to attack their tribe."

  Li Yanqing gave a thumbs up approvingly, "Wang Tongzhi is right. Different interests are the biggest weakness of this army. If we grasp this weakness of the enemy army, we can divide them and defeat them one by one!"

  . ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Wei Wang Li Zhizong was about thirty-five or sixteen years old. He had a long hooked nose and triangular slender eyes. He looked quite treacherous. At this time, he was very good at reading people's hearts and giving advice to Li Qianshun. In Li Qianshun's heart, he has won the trust of Li Qianshun. Since two years ago, he has taken away Li Cha's intelligence authority and is in charge of Xixia's foreign intelligence.

Although the Northern Expedition of the Song Army and Xixia's intelligence agencies were very weak, it was not until the Song Army assembled in Yan'an Mansion that it was discovered that something was wrong. Brother Li Cha was responsible for the ineffectiveness. He believed that this was exactly the performance of Brother Li Cha's intelligence failure for more than ten years. Li Zhizong took over too late, so Li Zhizong could not be blamed for his ineffective intelligence.

  From this incident, we can see Li Qianshun's trust in Li Zhizong.

Li Zhizong led an army of 150,000 to Jingzhou. The army of 150,000 was composed of eight tribes, forming eight armies, namely Tuoba Army, Xifeng Army, Feiting Army, Xiangli Army, Pochao Army, The Yeli Army, Mi Qin Army, and Lou Bo Army, the largest of which is the Tuoba Army, consisting of 40,000 people, followed by the Xifeng Army, with 30,000 people, and most of the other tribes have more than 10,000 people. Lou Bo's army is only 4,000 strong.

  According to the compromise reached by the imperial court and various ministries, these troops are led by each ministries themselves and have a high degree of autonomy. They have the right to refuse some discriminatory military orders.

The head coach of the Tuoba army is called Tuoba Wei. It stands to reason that the Tuoba tribe is the leader of the party clan, and the royal family of the imperial court comes from the Tuoba tribe. The Tuoba tribe should be the most loyal to the court, but in fact it is the opposite. Born in the Tuoba tribe, the exploitation of the Tuoba tribe is also the most ruthless. Last year, the Jin soldiers confiscated one million sheep from Xixia, and the court divided them among the various tribes. The Tuoba tribe alone took 300,000 sheep. It aroused the great indignation of the Tuoba tribe, but the Tuoba tribe and the other seven tribes were not very united and liked to act alone, which gave people the illusion of collusion with the imperial court.

Tuoba Wei is the young chief of the Tuoba tribe. He is about 27 or 8 years old. His father Tuoba Wanli has been the chief for 20 years and has a high prestige in the tribe. This time he sent troops to help the court, although many tribe elders did not Too willing, but Tuoba Wanli still took the overall situation into consideration, tried his best to let his son lead the army to help the court, and it was the Tuoba tribe who took the lead, and other tribes followed suit. The leader led the army out.

As soon as the army arrived in Jingzhou, Li Zhizong called the leaders of the tribes to discuss the next move. Generally speaking, this kind of discussion is unnecessary. Li Zhizong can give orders directly, but this time it is different from before. Li Zhizong knows that everyone is unwilling. He sent troops, so he also tried to take into account the emotions of all parties and showed enough respect.

"According to the latest information from the spies, the Song army camp is still in Lingzhou, and there are about 100,000 troops. From the perspective of the number of troops, we are indeed going to overwhelm the opponent, but at the level of 100,000 people, 100,000 and 100,000 people will be more powerful. The difference between 50,000 people is actually not that big, and the opponent has very sharp firearms, has defeated the Xixia army in succession, and their morale is high, we must not underestimate the enemy."

  Li Zhizong glanced at the crowd, and continued: "I invited everyone here today, just like listening to everyone's opinions. How should we fight the Song Army?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of Xifeng army, Xifengbie, also said: "We are usually herdsmen, and we have not received special training. We only know how to ride horses. We don't understand all kinds of tactics. We only know how to muster and charge, Mingjin Retreat, Dushuai, don’t think too highly of us, you will be disappointed.”

  Tuobawei immediately retorted: "The commander-in-chief didn't ask us how to march and fight, but just asked about our strategy to deal with the Song army. Can't Chief Xifeng understand what the commander-in-chief means?"

  Xi Fengbie also narrowed his eyes, "When I led the troops to fight, the young chief was still breastfeeding! Now he can blame me, how ridiculous!"

  He suddenly darkened his face, and said coldly: "What are you!"

  Tuobawei was furious, drew out his sword and stabbed Xifeng Bieye head-on, Xifeng Bie also jumped up, drew his sword to block, and shouted: "Little brat, do you want to play for real?"

  Everyone stood up to persuade them, but Tuoba Wei was so angry that he cursed, "You old bastard, you dare to hurt people, you have the guts to challenge me one-on-one, and see how I chop off your head!"

  Li Zhizong roared, "Enough, stop everything!"

  He stood up suddenly, turned around and rushed away angrily, leaving behind a group of stunned tribal leaders. What kind of attitude is Marshal Du?

Li Zhizong really had a terrible headache. He couldn't express his opinion at all. The feud between the Xifeng Department and the Tuoba Department began hundreds of years ago. As long as he has a slight inclination, he will definitely offend the other party. Apart from leaving, He really couldn't think of any other way.

  Tuobawei and Xifeng Bieye's anger was finally persuaded.

Tuoba Wei rushed back to his camp angrily, slashed his sword fiercely on the wooden stake, and cursed: "It's nothing for him to seal it up, what battles did he fight, if he has the ability, they will kill Li Yanqing with the seal Otherwise, don't open your mouth and fart!"

  The general Tuobawen who came back with him persuaded him: "Your father has repeatedly told you that although the Small Seal Department is at odds with our Tuoba Department, for the sake of the overall situation, everyone should tolerate each other and stop internal strife."

Tuobawei jumped up as if being stepped on and shouted: "Who is provoking, who insulted me first? Did I say wrong about him? Dushuai was asking for countermeasures, but he said in a strange way that the soldiers would not Fighting, what kind of attitude is this? Why can he insult me ​​casually if he asks me to be patient?"

   This is really impossible to persuade. This young chief has a hot temper and strong self-esteem. If he continues to persuade him, something will happen. Tuobawen sighed, "It depends on how the handsome man handles this matter!"

   "I don't care how Du Shuai comforts him, but that old **** must apologize to me, otherwise I will never end with him!"

  Tuobawen shook his head. How could the Fine Seal Department apologize to Tuoba Department? He also became a little worried. The emperor shouldn't let Li Zhizong be the coach. He can't control the tribes at all, and he has no prestige.
