Chapter 61 The second quarter missed the fighter

Because Xixia adopted the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, the first four armies of the Northern Song Dynasty did not confront the Xixia army at all. Instead, the fifth army with the least support encountered the main force of the Xixia army.So, how did the fifth army led by Liu Changzuo deal with the main force of Xixia? Liu Changzuo's Fifth Route Army encountered Xia Guo's main force.Liu Changzuo is the chief of the capital, and he has the lowest official rank among the commanders of the Five Route Army.Among the five commanders, the two generals who can actually fight were originally controlled by others.General Zhong Erzhong should have been restrained by Grand Duke Wang, but now he can no longer, and Liu Changzuo is still under the restraint of Uncle Gao Guo at least for now.Liu Changzuo, a military general, has lived and fought on the border all year round, and has fought against the Xia people.Along the way, he met Xia Guo's main force of more than 100,000 troops. General Liu Changzuo took the lead and killed many Xia soldiers.After the Xia army retreated, Liu Changzuo reported to the court that a lot of food had been seized, which was actually a lie.The retreat of the Xixia army may also be to lure the enemy to go deeper. The next step is to advance or stand still. General Liu is not sure, because Uncle Gao Guo will not arrive for a while, and the left and right cannot wait.General Liu gave the emperor a form, can I disobey Uncle Gao Guo's restraint and march independently?After the table was played, without waiting for the court's reply, he led his troops northward, and fought to the foot of Lingzhou City in one go.Lingzhou was taken from the Song Dynasty when the Xixia Taizu moved there. When the Song Dynasty lost Lingzhou, the Silk Road was completely cut off.Now, Liu Changzuo's army has arrived at the city of Lingzhou, ready to besiege the city.

At this time, Uncle Gao Guo had already left his residence, and led the army to slowly march towards Lingzhou.On the way, he received a letter from the emperor. Uncle Guo opened it, and the emperor told him that Liu Changzuo was ignorant and unable to perform his duties.It seems that Liu Changzuo went to the emperor to ask him to lead the way and refused to listen to Gao Guojiu's orders, which angered the emperor.who do you think You Are?Do you dare not listen to my uncle?General Zhong doesn't listen to Grandpa Wang, I can agree, don't try to follow suit, can you compare with General Zhong?My uncle can't be like the prince!Uncle Gao Guo hadn't had time to deal with the letter after reading the letter, so he came to report that Liu Changzuo's troops had arrived at the city of Lingzhou.When Gao Zunyu heard it, it was great. The men and horses moved quickly and joined forces with Liu Changzuo's troops.Lingzhou is an empty city at this time, and the only grown-up men in the city are hundreds of monks and Taoist priests, because monks and old Taoists do not serve in the army, and everyone else who can hold a gun is fighting in other places.If General Liu takes this opportunity to rush into Lingzhou City, it will be easy to break through Lingzhou.But Uncle Gao Guo was afraid that General Liu would take the lead, and thought that you had already been dismissed, so don't take the credit, and immediately sent a fast horse to tell General Liu that you must not act rashly and enter Lingzhou.General Liu could only look at the city and sigh. Tens of thousands of horses were under the city of Lingzhou.

After Uncle Gao's army arrived, the first thing he did was to show General Liu the Emperor Shenzong's handbook.You are so overjoyed, you don't know the general idea, the emperor has ordered you to be dismissed now.You are no longer the commander-in-chief, replaced by the generals under your command.However, the general who was appointed to replace Liu Changzuo felt that he was not the material, and we were able to break through all the way and reach Lingzhou City, all thanks to our Marshal Liu. At this critical moment, it is a military strategist It's a taboo, I can't do such an inhumane thing.Besides, I know that I eat a few bowls of dry rice, so I am determined not to do it.Uncle Gao Guo did the same.Since this person is unwilling to do it, well, Liu Changzuo, you will be dismissed and stay in your post, and you will pay for your crimes and seek meritorious service.But don't forget, you are no longer the commander-in-chief, but still doing the job of the commander-in-chief.I am not the commander-in-chief anymore, how can I do the job of the commander-in-chief?I issue an order, how do I sign it?Former Commander-in-Chief?Who cares about you, the former commander-in-chief?You are the commander-in-chief, you can command, but you are not the commander-in-chief, what kind of orders are you in charge of?Who still obeys your orders?What's more, Uncle Gao Guo shouldn't have confiscated all the troops of General Liu's journey, including cattle, sheep, grain, camels, and horses.Marshal Liu's soldiers were indignant, because you are the emperor's own uncle, you do this kind of thing?Then when there is a war in the future, go ahead, we will be spectators behind, and we will not be able to work hard.Next, Uncle Gao Guo ordered to attack the city.
