Chapter 907 Military Meeting at the Governor¡¯s Mansion (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The transfer order from the Chief Envoy of Sichuan has been issued. Although Lei Shan does not have to go to Xuzhou to serve as general judge, if he refuses, the current assignment will be lost, which is equivalent to resigning.  For an official of his level, unlike Luo Dianzao, every transfer is very eye-catching. It would be very difficult for the Chief Envoy to revoke this transfer order.

    But Zhao Ran still decided to give it a try. Not only did Lei Shan not want to leave Baimayuan, he also didn¡¯t want Lei Shan to be transferred. If he wanted to be promoted, he would be promoted within Songfan.

    So he said: "I understand Lao Lei's intention. Baima Courtyard cannot do without Lao Lei. I will look back on this matter and try to save it as much as possible."

    Three days later, Zhao Ran came to Songfan and entered the Yamen of the Governor-General's Mansion in Western Sichuan.

    There are only eleven people in the festival hall, but the standards are very high. Xia Ji, the governor of Western Sichuan, personally presided over the military meeting. Yan Yunyi, the leading monk stationed in Songfan Guards, Du Tenghui of Tianhe Palace, Commander Cao of Songfan Guards and  Under his jurisdiction are Ning Wan Xu San, who is stationed in Xiaohe and Yongzhen as a backup for Songfan Guards, Zhang Qianhu of Xiaohe Qianhu Institute, and Li Qianhu of Chishui Qianhu Institute. The last two are Zhao Ran, the abbot of Baimayuan.  and Xu Jiangchuan, secretary-general of the Governor-General's Office.

    The huge sand table was supported by several tables, shaping the general terrain of the entire junction of Songfan and Xixia, marking the locations of the Ming army and the known Xia army.  The situation of both sides is clear at a glance.

    Governor Xia pointed to the sand table, mainly introducing the latest situation of the Ming Army and Xia Army to Du Tenghui and Zhao Ran.

    "On the Baihe River line, we still use the Chewa Valley as the garrison. Commander Cao led the Chinese army and the Baihe garrison to garrison. Along the lower reaches of the Baihe River, Ning Shouyu garrisoned the Hongyuan garrison and Xu Shouyu garrisoned the Anqu garrison.  What is different from what Du Jian Yuan and Zhi Ran knew before is that the three garrison stations of Anqu, Hongyuan and Baihe, in the name of the previous rotation of defense, each transferred a thousand households to go north to Ruoergai to strengthen Xiaoshan Guard and Lou  The strength of the mountain guards. Therefore, the number of troops stationed along the Baihe River is actually three thousand households less than three months ago. Together with the Chinese army, there are only more than 5,000 people in total."

    Zhao Ran had heard a little about it. In fact, since three months ago, Xixia had been causing trouble in the Zoige area on the northern front. The commanders under the Black Mountain Weifu Military Supervisory Department often came to the army to provoke, causing great trouble to the small mountain guards in front of them.  pressure.

    In order to cope with the pressure, the Governor-General spent three months in the name of rotation, transferring three thousand households to strengthen the small mountain guards from the relatively stable Songfan Guards, and stabilized the situation in Zoige.

    Du Tenghui nodded with Zhao Ran and expressed his gratitude to Governor Xia for his personal explanation. He then heard Governor Xia say: "We are discussing the military situation today. You are all old men in the army. You know the rules. You shouldn't need me to say more. If it spreads, it will definitely spread."  No mercy. Next, please report a situation to Zhiran."

    Zhao Ran stood up and said: "I just received a piece of news. The provocation of the Xixia Heishan Weifu Supervisory Military Department in the Zoige area has a clear intention, but its intention is not on the northern front, but on the western front. All Xixia's actions in Zoige  , all in order to cooperate with the upcoming offensive on the western front, that is, the Baihe front line that the Baima Qiang Town Supervisory Army Department is responsible for. We also received clear news that the general in charge of the command this time is Wu Huawen, the commander of the Baima Left Wing.  "

    As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a commotion.  Commander Cao asked: "Where did Abbot Zhao get his military information? Is it reliable?"

    Zhao Ran said: "I can't answer this question, and I don't have the right to answer it. I can only say that this information has been approved by the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion."

    Commander Cao frowned and said: "It's very strange. If this information is true, it's hard for me to understand Xixia's tactics. If we don't attack Ruoergai in the north, we have to go through the Baihe natural barrier, which is the most difficult to cross. How do the Xixia Privy Council consider it?  of?"

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and explained: "Perhaps there is a situation that can explain the behavior of the Xixia people. In today's Xixia court, the struggle between the rear party and the imperial party has become more and more intense, and the contradictions in the struggle are  One of the focuses is Wu Huawen, the commander of the White Horse Left Wing opposite us. In order to cooperate with the imperial party, he once wrote a letter to correct the Yeli Huaide of the Yeli family for escaping from the battle. This letter caused the Yeli family to suffer heavy losses and weakened the Yeli family.  We have obtained the power of the Hou Party. The intelligence we have obtained shows that the Hou Party wants to save the situation, and their main attack direction is Wu Huawen."

    Jiang Ruobing, the secretary in charge of the Governor's Office, said thoughtfully: "So, is this an act of self-protection by the imperial party? No wonder only the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division is provocative on the northern front, while the Xiangyou Supervisory Military Division is standing still. We  At that time, I was still surprised that the contrast between the two was too big. I once suspected that Xixia's main attack would be launched by the Xiangyou Supervisor Military Division, and that it would be an attack from the east and an attack from the west. Now it seems that it is indeed an attack from the east, but the direction of the attack is towards Baihe.  West."

    Seeing that several guards and Qianhu didn't quite understand, especially Zhang Qianhu from Xiaohe Institute and Li Qianhu from Chishui Institute, Jiang Ruobing explained: "We have three military supervisors in front of Songfan, Xiangyou Supervisor  The Military Division is a member of the Hou Party group.The two military supervision departments of Baima and Heishan are from the imperial party.  "

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Secretary Jiang has a clear understanding of the overall situation of Xixia, and I admire him. That's roughly what it means. Now in the court, Wu Huawen's situation is very bad, so the imperial party wants to help Wu Huawen establish some  Credit, this is also Wu Huawen¡¯s urgent wish.¡±

    Jiang Ruobing asked: "Abbot Zhao, what happened to Wu Huawen? Does he have any reason to be caught by the rear party?"

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "The main reason was the tragic defeat in the Battle of Baima Mountain. The rear party may have obtained evidence against Wu Huawen. This guy is a little anxious. The so-called dog in a hurry jumps over the wall. He is ready to risk jumping back over the wall.  See if there is any meat inside the wall."

    Several generals laughed immediately, and Commander Cao said: "Then let's beat the dog behind closed doors!"

    The military information reported is roughly at this point. It cannot be further detailed as to when and where to launch an attack, but it is enough to be able to know the opponent's offensive intentions.

    Based on this information, it can be inferred that the purpose of Wu Huawen's attack should be just to get a vote to prove his innocence, and it was a surprise attack.

    The sneak attack of surprise soldiers is about hit and run. There should not be many troops. If there are too many troops, it is impossible to have the effect of a sneak attack. The natural danger of Baihe does not mean that it cannot be crossed, but it does not meet the conditions for large-scale crossing of the river in a short period of time.

    The Ming army made calculations five or six years ago. Even if they choose to cross the river at three ferries, it would take at least a full day to ferry a thousand people across the river in boats and have them climb up the river embankment.  The soldiers will need at least forty or fifty boats - Baihe cannot carry large boats, let alone transporting battle array weapons, food and grass, and it will take even more time.
