The Xixia people's analysis and judgment of the entire battle situation was completely correct, which was also inevitable. They fought against the Song Dynasty for more than 80 years, and both sides had been deploying and attacking according to the strategy of east-west attack. No matter how they changed, they could not make any tricks.,

Li Hu used to attack Xixia based on Daibei, so the strategy he formulated was to attack north and south. The east-west and north-south attacks of the Song Dynasty and Li Hu's targeted Helan Mountain, but the biggest difference between these two strategies is that attack east and west can trap Helan Mountain, while attack north and south can only severely damage the Dangxiang people, because Helan Mountain and Hexi are still connected together and fight together, so the Dangxiang people are worried about advancing and retreating. Therefore, although Li Hu received cooperation from the Song people in the first two Western Expeditions, his greatest record was to hit the Dangxiang people severely and consumed the strength of the Dangxiang people.

The Western Xia was very lucky. The people of the Song Dynasty failed in the Northern Expedition, and then the rebellions broke out in China, and the Jurchens were eyeing Youyan again, resulting in a large number of Northwest troops being transferred out of the Northwest. If the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was successful and the country was very stable, they cooperated with Li Hu's western expedition in Shaanxi with the strategy of east-west attacks, it would be hard to say whether the Western Xia people could defend Helan Mountain.

However, the good luck of the Xixia people seems to be short. Li Hu's rapid rise in Middle Earth still made this decisive battle begin quickly, and his attack strategy must be

The east-west attacks were combined with the north-south attacks, and surrounded Helan Mountain from all sides.

"If we want to defeat Li Hu, the only way is to hold Karochuan tightly and firmly control Karochuan's control, so that Li Hu's attacks with both sides cannot be achieved." Richard's voice echoed in the house, cold and firm, "We defended Karochuan and also defended Helan Mountain. In this way, we can hold Li Hu, consume Li Hu, and weaken his strength. When the time is right, the Jurchens and the Song people in the southeast will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and attack."

Brother Richard turned around and looked at Renduo Baoguo. Li Anhui, Li Dingchuan and others showed a hint of murderous aura on his face, "When Li Hu retreated from Helan Mountain and divided his troops to block the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty, that is, we will fight back. At that time, we can not only recover the lost territory, but also take the opportunity to enter Shaanxi, seize a large amount of land and population, quickly restore national strength, and then plot to Guanzhong and fight for the hegemony of Middle-earth."

Renduo Baoguo, Li Anhui and others nodded repeatedly, feeling a little suffocated in their hearts, but their eyes showed expectations. This battle was related to the survival of the Dangxiang people, but also to the survival of Li Hu. Whoever loses will lose everything.

"Our defense is divided into Helan Mountain and Ka

Luo Chuan two parts.”

Richard pointed to He Lanshan on the map, and then drew a circle nearby. "The two military supervisors in Baimaqiang Town in Loubobe and the Right Chaushun of Keyimen took the initiative to withdraw back to Helan Mountain, and with the dangerous pass of Helan Mountain, the left armies of Pingxia Road and Hanhai Road also took the initiative to withdraw back to Helan Mountain, and in Lingxia, the area of ​​Lingxia, and then with the natural danger of the Yellow River, the Tiger and Martyrs were blocked."

"We invested 100,000 troops in the Helan Mountain battlefield, fighting to the death, dragging Li Hu and consuming Li Hu's army."

Brother Richard's hand quickly moved to Shuofang on the map, "Zhuo? and Nan. Army troops tried their best to defend Karochuan, defend Karochuan at all costs, and never let the Tiger and Lieutenant Army occupy Shuofang."

"The main forces of the Xiping Army and the Gansu Army are moving south quickly to garrison with heavy troops to ensure the safety of Liangzhou, and provide strong support to Karochuan."

"Send heavy troops to guard Xueshan Pass and increase troops to Renduoquan City. If necessary, advance east along the Haoshui River, attack Detong Fort and Shimenzi Fort, tear open the Haoshui River defense line, threaten Zhenwu City to restrain the Tiger and Martyrs Army and alleviate Kaluo

The heavy pressure in the direction of Sichuan.”

Brother Richard explained his defensive strategy in detail.

On the Helan Mountain front, the early stage was to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and lure the enemy into deep; the later stage was to defend the danger and defend passively. The goal was to drag the Tiger and Lieutenant Army into a protracted battle to consume Li Hu's army, money, food and weapons.

On the Karochuan line, it is divided into two battlefields east and west. The eastern front is on the Shuofang battlefield, relying on the Yellow River natural danger and Qiulongling and Karochuan two solid defense lines, which stubbornly blocked the attack of the Tiger Lie Army; on the Hexi battlefield, it is on the Hexi battlefield that heavy troops guard Renduoquan City and Xueshan Pass, and actively attacked the Haoshui River defense line of the Tiger Lie Army, and attacked instead of defense.

For this reason, Brother Richard decided to rush to Xiliang Prefecture to take charge of the command.

"Helan Mountain is controlled by the emperor, with a hundred thousand troops defending it, and it is as solid as a god." Richard said coldly, "The decisive battlefield of this battle is not Helan Mountain, but Karochuan, so I must personally sit in Xiliang Prefecture to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Then he looked at Renduo Baoguo, "You rushed to Renduoquan City immediately, gather troops, and prepare to attack the Haoshui River defense line."

Renduo Baoguo frowned slightly, but he wanted to speak but stopped. Brother Richard didn't wait for him to speak, and his eyes turned to Li Dingchuan again, "You can hurry to Tong'an City immediately and help Xiao Heda defend the Karochuan defense line."

Li Dingchuan agreed and then whispered: "Just be careful, will the emperor and the court evacuate Xingqing Mansion in advance?"

"Helan Mountain has a 100,000 army. Such a powerful defensive force cannot guarantee the safety of the capital?" Richard sneered, "I know that some people are afraid of death and instigated the emperor to evacuate Xingqing Mansion all day long. However, this battle is related to the survival of our Daxia. The emperor must be in charge of Kyoto and must express his determination and courage to live and die with the capital and die with Daxia, and to encourage the morale of the military and civilians. If the emperor evacuates, the morale of the 100,000 troops guarding the 100,000 troops are low and they lose confidence, how can he defend Helan Mountain? What should he use to guard Kyoto in Daxia? What should he use to protect the people of Daxia?"

"But, if you are not in Kyoto, how can you ensure that the emperor will stick to it? The treacherous and slandered in the court, and the Han people made a comeback. The capital was undercurrents, and the crisis was 4.

Fu, can't you tell it? Do you think deploying a 100,000 army in Helan Mountain can ensure the safety of Kyoto?" Li Dingchuan once again advised, "You should stay in the capital."

Richard did not want to stay in Kyoto, but in the battle of Luotuo River, the entire captive army was wiped out, and more than half of the elite troops in Xixia were lost. Now most of the troops in Hexi are composed of Hexi's foreigners. When these Uighurs, Tatars and Han people saw that the Dangxiang people were ineffective, some tribal leaders and local commanders were ready to move. The storm contained in it was far more terrifying than the undercurrent in the capital. There were emperors and troops in the capital, and no matter how big the undercurrent was, it could be easily eliminated. Hexi was the world of the foreigners. Once a storm of rebellion broke out, Hexi would be in chaos. When Hexi was in chaos, Helan Mountain would lose its support. The Great Xia Kingdom was very likely to be defeated under the crazy attack of Li Hu. Therefore, Richard had to sit in Hexi no matter what, to ensure the safety of Hexi.

Renduo Baoguo has been guarding Hexi for a long time and is very familiar with this, and he is also worried about this.

"Last year, the Caotou Tatar and the Huangtou Uighurs betrayed the alliance and plundered Shazhou. The army of the Xiping Army fought a war with them and beheaded two thousand, which forced them to re-establish the alliance. In addition, at the end of last year, the rebellion of the Ganzhou Uighurs also caused tension in the situation in Hexi for a while." Renduo Baoguo looked worried, his voice was low, and he said with a lot of worries.

, "If the news of the attack by the Song people reached Hexi and the main force of the Xiping Army Department went to Liangzhou again, then who can guarantee that Caotou Tatars and Huangtou Huihe will not rebel against the alliance again and attack Hexi? Once Hexi is in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides, what should we do if the rebellion of the monks?"

Brother Richard looked cold and silent.

"In my opinion, it is not a good idea to keep the emperor and 100,000 main force in Helan Mountain." Renduobaoguo saw Richard fall into deep thought and knew that he had realized that the situation in Hexi was much more tense than he thought, so he continued, "According to your defense strategy, the Helan Mountain battlefield is a simple defense. To be precise, it is more like a bait and a trap. Once the victory or defeat of the Karochuan battlefield is decided, Li Hu will fall into the trap. Although he can escape, he is covered in scars and is about to lose."

Renduo Baoguo gradually became serious and his tone became stern, "Who is Li Hu? Don't he know that Helan Mountain is a trap? He will attack wildly before Karochuan decides his victory or defeat? You asked 100,000 main forces to stay in Helan Mountain, but the Karochuan battlefield, which is related to the danger of Daxia, calls on Zhufan to fight. Isn't this too risky? Once Hexi is in chaos, Zhufan will continue to fight for us? Zhufan has already had a strange intention. In order to preserve his strength, they will obey our orders and fight to the death with the Hulie Army? Is it too risky?

Once they were defeated in Karochuan, Helan Mountain would be surrounded. What should the emperor and the court do at that time?"

"Can the emperor be a bait? Can the court be a bait? The survival of the emperor and the court is the survival of the country. Can you take risks like this?"

Brother Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I want to ask you, if you were Li Hu, would you think you have the strength to eat Daxia in one bite?"

Renduo Baoguo, Li Anhui and others looked at each other and heard something from Brother Richard's words.

"A few months ago, Li Hu and the Jurchens fought decisively on three battlefields. Now, he came to fight Xixia again. He really thought he was invincible in the world?" Li Cha Ge's lips showed a hint of disdain, "Obviously, Li Hu's real purpose was to take down Helan Mountain instead of destroying the Dangxiang people. In other words, Li Hu made a series of attacks, which is likely to induce us to withdraw the emperor and the court to Hexi and transfer the main force to Karochuan to fight him. Karochuan is actually a trap set by Li Hu. Once we fall into the trap, Li Hu can gather the main force to quickly conquer Helan Mountain."

If the Dangxiang people and their Daxia Kingdom are driven away

When we arrived in Hexi, we can imagine how much damage the Dangxiang people could have posed to Shaanxi by then? If they have problems with their own survival, can they continue to attack Li Hu?

Li Hu took down Helan Mountain at the fastest speed and the lowest price. His main force could immediately return to Daibei and Hedong to prevent the Jurchens from robbing by fire. Li Hu dared to launch this battle and must be prepared to be prepared for the Jurchen attack in advance. How brave is he to dare to continue attacking Helan Mountain for several months?

"I asked the emperor to sit in Xingqing Mansion and use a hundred thousand troops to guard Helan Mountain, which was to force Li Hu to fight with me in Karochuan and force him to jump into the trap he dug." Brother Richard sneered, "If he doesn't dare to fight to the decisive battle, he can only withdraw his troops on the whole line in the end; if he really fights with me, we will hold him in Karochuan and force him to make two choices in helplessness, either withdraw the troops or take a gamble in Helan Mountain and jump into the trap I dug."

Renduo Baoguo, Li Anhui and others finally understood. Brother Richard thought that Li Hu was not strong enough, and in order to achieve his goal, he tried every means to lure Dangxiang people into being deceived. Brother Richard also had no intention of a decisive battle from beginning to end. He wanted to fight with Li Hu, try every means to drag Li Hu on the northwest battlefield, and then wait for an opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
