Prime Minister

Chapter 670
Wang Shao looked at Zhang Yue with sharp eyes, but pressed his hand to the handle of the knife.

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Shao's actions and frowned. Although Wang Shao didn't dare to make a move, his heart was still a little fuzzy.

But Zhang Yue stared at the other party without giving in, and frightened Wang Shao with his eyes.

Wang Shao finally put down the handle of the knife, and said angrily: "Sheren has a great kindness to Wang. If I really want Wang Shao to send troops to cross the Yellow River, I will just say a word. Why use such a low-level aggressive method?"

Zhang Yue said heartily, good Wang Shao, the subtext of your words is that I will lead the army across the Yellow River, and I will repay your original kindness, and we will not owe each other.

The truly mean and ungrateful person is not really some kind of ungrateful person, but just finds an excuse to repay your kindness.

Zhang Yue said: "Zichun, you have also seen the imperial decree of the official family, it was not the intention of someone in Zhang Yue."

Wang Shao said with his hands behind his back: "Can Sheren capture Dingxi City and then go north?"

Zhang Yue said: "If you can't attack Dingxi City in a short period of time, you will besiege the city and fight for aid. How can the Xixia people send troops to save Dingxi City for the sake of a son-in-law?"

in between talking.

A soldier came to report: "Report to Han Jinglue!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing when he opened the letter, and gave the letter to Wang Shao instead.

After reading the letter, Wang Shao was surprised and said, "Guo Kui actually came to Qinzhou?"

Zhang Yue said: "That's right. Among the generals who are on the same road, there is no one who can compare with Guo Kui. It's a pity to be left idle because of opposing the capture of Hengshan. Therefore, before I set off from Yanzhou, I suggested to Han Xuanxiang and asked the Privy Council to come forward." Transfer Guo Kui to be the commander of Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses!"

Wang Shao thought, that's right, Zhang Yue's father-in-law is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Han Jiang thinks highly of him. To him, transferring Guo Kui to be the military commander of Qinfeng Road is like drinking water and eating.

Wang Shao said: "But although Guo Kui is a famous general in the Western Army, he has always been at odds with me. Why did someone send him here?"

Zhang Yue said: "Aren't you worried that after crossing the Yellow River, Yuzang Huama will come out of Dingxi City and cut off our army's retreat? I asked Guo Kui to be the commander of Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses, and led the army out of Gangu City, passing through Tongwei Village, including Set up West City."

"It can not only solve the worries of the future, but also make Huizhou and Qinzhou work together!"

Seeing this, Wang Shao immediately laughed and said, "Okay, Guo Kui's sending troops can be regarded as solving my confidant's troubles, so I don't have any worries about sending troops to cross the river."

Immediately Zhang Yue reached an agreement with Wang Shao.

So Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, Wang Hou's [-] Song troops and [-] fine cavalry selected from various tribes decided to cross the Yellow River. The remaining troops were led by Liu Xishi, Gao Zunyu, and Yu Longke to continue to besiege Dingxi City.

The place Zhang Yue and Wang Shao chose to cross the river was in Dalachi, also known as Dashengchuan.

Why is it called Dashengchuan, because it is rich in Achnatherum splendens. The so-called Achnatherum splendens is the current Achnatherum splendens. After the stem is soaked in water, it has great toughness.

And the rope made of Achnatherum splendens is a must for the Yellow River ferry.

Here the Yellow River is narrow and there are many canyons, and floating bridges can be laid to cross the Yellow River.

But when Zhang Yue and Wang Shao led the army to arrive at this time, they saw many Xixia wanderers patrolling on the other side of the Yellow River.This scene was really unexpected.

Seeing the Song army appearing on the other side of the river, the Xixia cavalry lit up the smoke nearby, and called the Xia army from farther away to stop the Song army from crossing the river.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao looked at each other when they saw this scene, Xixia had already been on guard against crossing the Yellow River.

Wang Hou rode his horse back from the river and said, "Send your soldiers to explore further downstream!"

Soon the soldiers reported: "Your cavalry was intercepted by the Fan army and more than ten people were killed."

When Wang Shao asked, he learned that Yuzang Yingqin Saler, the guard of Daluo City, belonged to Yuzang's family, and was intercepted by a surprise attack by a Song army cavalry.

Wang Shao was furious when he heard this, and immediately led his army to Daluo City.

When the guard saw Wang Shao's army coming, he closed the door and did not come out.No matter how Wang Shao fought, the Fan army did not move at all.

Seeing this scolding, Song Jun was helpless.

That night, King Shao of Zhangyue garrisoned troops under the city of Daluo.

The Xia army also camped from the other side of the Yellow River, and the campfire even illuminated the faces of the Xixia people on the other side.Many Xixia soldiers had fun with wine in front of the bonfire, as if they didn't pay attention to the Song army on the other side of the river.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hou said angrily: "Father, I will lead a hundred soldiers to cross the lower reaches in a small boat and kill this birdman."

Wang Shao said: "What's the rush? I didn't see that the Xixia people were trying to lure the enemy. Even though there are only a few dozen people on the river, there are probably thousands of people lying in the valley behind. Wouldn't it be death for you to cross the river?"

After a pause, Wang Shao said: "Since Xixia has noticed our army's intention to cross the river, I think it will be difficult to cross the river."

Zhang Yue remained silent, is Wang Shao going to retreat?
Wang Shao and Zhang Yue were also sitting around the bonfire, and they threw a few dead branches into the bonfire.

The discovery of Xixia cavalry on the other side of the Yellow River gave the two of them a reason to retreat, and Han Tong who was following Zhang Yue was also silent. The risk of crossing the river rashly was great?

But he and Zhang Yue couldn't do business with Han Jiang.

When Zhang Yu was thinking of a solution, the surroundings fell into silence.

Wang Shao suddenly threw his whip on the tunnel and said, "We can't wait like this!"

Wang Hou said: "What Daddy said is, let's try it, even if it doesn't work, the official will explain it."

Wang Shao reprimanded, "Who said we're going to cross the river?"

Han Tong said sarcastically, "Is Wang Fu's judgment going to be abandoned halfway?"

Everyone thought that this 'Supervisor' Han Tong was too lenient.

Wang Shao said: "Since I have promised to send troops, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never give up halfway!"

"Bring the picture!"

Wang Shao immediately took the cowhide map, and the crowd leaned on the bonfire to illuminate it, watching Wang Shao gesturing on the map and saying: "Since there is no hope of crossing the Yellow River north, we might as well cross the Quwu Mountain in front of us!"

But Wang Shao pointed to the east.

Looking at Wang Shao's firm eyes, everyone looked as if there was a big mountain standing there in the dark night.

Wang Shao uttered a shocking statement: "The foot of Quwu Mountain is the rich land of the Xia people. The foundation of farming, animal husbandry, clothing and food is the Tiandu Mountain held by the country, which is regarded as a safe place for the strong and the weak!"

Hearing that Wang Shao was going to attack Tiandu Mountain, everyone was too shocked to speak.

Where is Tiandu Mountain, the barrier of the southern border of Xixia, and the forward position of attacking the Song army.

At the beginning, Li Yuanhao led the army to invade the south several times, since it was at this point that various soldiers and horses were gathered to invade the Song Dynasty.

In the first year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao sent troops here and defeated the Song army in Haoshuichuan. The Song general Ren Fu died and injured more than [-] people.

In the second year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao mobilized 10 troops and sent troops from Tiandu Mountain to attack Chuanzhai. Song general Ge Huaimin was killed or wounded and nearly [-] were captured.

This is not only the place where Xixia Li Yuanhao planned several southward invasions.Li Yuanhao is also a lustful person. After accepting his concubine, he built seven palaces here, which are extremely magnificent, and the treasury and buildings are complete.

Therefore, this is also the place where Li Yuanhao toured and played in the past, and where the Xixia Palace is located, which has achieved both fighting and picking up girls.

Now that Wang Shao saw the failure of crossing the Yellow River north, he actually said that he would cross Quwu Mountain and attack Tiandu Mountain where Xixia's lair was.

Everyone was stunned by his thoughts.

This is poking a hornet's nest!
But seeing Zhang Yue said: "No!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Yue, did Wang Shao and Wang Shao disagree again?
