This year's spring is coming very late, and it looks like the first month is about to come out, but it still looks like it is cold and freezing. .

In Dingxi City, Xu Ping was seriously writing about his learning experience yesterday. There was no teacher to learn military command, and I am afraid there was no one who knew this in this era. Everyone could only summarize and discuss with each other from previous battle examples, cooperate with sand table deduction and actual military drills to verify it. Writing learning experience and communicating every day is a rule set by Xu Ping, and he himself cannot violate it. The learning process is very difficult and not easy.

The sun shone onto the desk from the window. Xu Ping stood up and stretched. Just as he was about to instruct Tan Hu outside to serve a cup of tea and rest for a while, Li Zhang ran in from outside quickly.

When he arrived in the room, he saluted Xu Ping with his hands crossed his hands, and Li Zhang said in a deep voice: "Jingshou, Yanzhou is defeated!"

Xu Ping closed his eyes, was silent for a while before reaching out to Li Zhang and whispered: "Take it and see it."

Since the dry and cool autumn, Yuan Hao has brought Dangxiang's main force to the Eastern Front, constantly looking for combat opportunities in Xiazhou opposite Linfu Road and Yan Road.

At the beginning, Yuanhao's attack target was actually on Linfu Road. Lin, Fu, and Fenghewai are the protruding parts of Hedong Road extending to the west bank of the Yellow River. These three states are in Hedong and Shaanxi. If Dangxiang occupied these three states, it would push the power of the Song Dynasty westward across the Yellow River, occupy the natural danger of the Yellow River, and at the same time occupy the Hengshan Mountains.

The three prefectures in Hewai implemented a system that was different from the mainland prefectures and counties, and were different from the border vassal states, similar to the vassal states in the Tang Dynasty. The Zhe family of the Prefectures, the Yang family of Linzhou, and the Wang family of Fengzhou, had controlled the local military and political power since the Five Dynasties. After entering the Song Dynasty, the magistrates of the three prefectures were still hereditary by their children. Yang Wenguang was a fellow clan of the Yang family of Linzhou, but since his grandfather Yang Ye, he began to lead troops outside. The one who guarded Linzhou for the past was Yang Ye's brothers. By the time his father Yang Yanzhao, he was actually not close to Linzhou.

This time, the one who made Yuanhao finally give up on attacking Linfu Road was Zhe Jimin, the governor of the Prefecture, who was just twenty-three years old this year. Originally, his cousin Zhe Jixuan was dismissed because of his tyrannical governance and was succeeded by Zhe Jimin. Although he was young, Zhe Jimin was resourceful and keen, and he did not reveal any flaws. Yuanhao finally turned to the west.

In the eastern front, the third route of Yan and Huanqing were tested for several months. Finally, in the middle of the first lunar month, when spring was approaching, Yuan Hao seized the opportunity of the fighter in Yanzhou. He first surrendered to Fan Yong, which made Fan Yong relax his vigilance, then attacked the Baoan Army along the Luoshuigu Road, and then attacked Yanzhou along the Hunzhou River. Li Shibin, the chief supervisor of Jinmingzhai, who guarded this route, was known as the "Iron Wall Gong", and was known for his good guard and was ready for battle. Yuan Hao sent the Qiang tribe who relied on his own to cheat.

After descending into Jinming Village, Li Shibin suggested that they all move to the south, but Fan Yong said, "Who is better to attack them?" All of them were arranged to Li Shibin Village. Finally, they were attacked by the inside and outside of the Dangxiang, and opened the door to attack Yanzhou. At this time, Fan Yong was panicked in Yanzhou. He joined forces with Liu Ping on Huanqing Road and Shi Yuansun on Yan Road to rescue Yanzhou together. Liu Ping advanced lightly and led more than 10,000 elite troops to the imperial guards and were surrounded at Sanchuankou.

At this point, it is no longer meaningful to just focus on which force battle on the battlefield or which one escapes in the battle. In a few months, the Dangxiang army came and went smoothly in the north of Yanlu, and the mountains and rivers were clearer than the Song army. Yuan Hao may not have the strength and determination to break through Yanzhou. He has been looking for opportunities, but he is afraid that he will annihilate the main force of the Song army. It is a classic tactic.

The battle of Sanchuankou ended with the complete failure of the Song army. The two generals Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were trapped in the enemy. At this time, the lawsuit for the responsibility for the defeat was still being fought, and Xu Ping could not understand the specific battle process, but the bad impact it brought could be imagined.

The defeat of Sanchuankou, the Song army did not really lose too many people, and it was only thousands of people. The two main generals were terrified. One of them was that almost all the elites of the imperial guards in the capital were involved in this battle. The main force was the Shenwei Guards of the Infantry led by Liu Ping, deputy commander of the infantry army, one of the "Super Four Armys", and the top army among the imperial guards. It was cooperated with the Huyi Army of the Hall, led by Shi Yuansun, the Du Yuhou of the Hall, and the elite army of the "Super Four Army". The auxiliary was the cavalry of the Long Guards led by the Long Guards of the Cavalry of the Long Guards of the Cavalry of the Long Guards of the Cavalry of the Long Guards of the Cavalry, and the same "Super Four Army". What is most terrifying is that the elites of these imperial guards did not show their due fighting spirit, and the main force of the Shenwei Guards of the main war was less than 20%. If everyone fought to the death, even though Yuan Hao attacked several times his troops, he might not be able to do anything to the more than 10,000 imperial guards.

This is a defeat in which the imperial guards in the capital were involved in an organized battle, led by their original commanders. Two generals in charge of the army were lost at one time. This is the most impactful to the Song Dynasty. The imperial guards, who were once regarded as the elite of the world, were completely destroyed in this battle. During the Taizu period, the imperial guards who fought south and north to defeat the vassals and made countless military achievements, disappeared in the mouth of Sanchuankou. From then on, the imperial guards in the capital would completely lose their main position in foreign wars.

After reading the court report in his hand, Xu Ping let out a sigh and asked Li Zhang: "The specific battle report has not been released yet?"

"Yanlu Chief Huang De and Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun surrendered to the thief, and his army also said that Liu and Shi Ershen died in a fierce battle. Both sides had their own opinions and were now in a lawsuit. The specific battle report is not clear."

Xu Ping waved his hand: "I don't care how they sued! You personally wrote to the Privy Council and asked them to move the Liu and Shi army to march, camp, catch the enemy, and finally fail. We need to use this battle to understand how the Dangxiang war is and how to deal with it in the future. If the war is defeated, we will not quickly summarize the lessons, but we don't understand the process of the war. We are all staring at what lawsuits to fight. Are we waiting to lose again?"

Huang Dehe was an eunuch named Dujian. In fact, the military supervisor would not be able to fight this lawsuit. Xu Ping was not very interested in who was responsible for the war. Most of the people survived the war with more than 10,000 people. It is unimaginable that some people could turn black and white. No matter who is true or false, they could only deceive for a moment, and the truth would be revealed soon. What Xu Ping was interested in was the specific battle process of both sides. By analyzing this battle example, he improved his command level in the army.

Returning the court newspaper to Li Zhang, Xu Ping sat behind the table, looked out the window for a while, sighed, and said to Li Zhang: "Just what we see now, this battle is a very wrong thing. Eight points are counted as command in the absence of command, and at most one or two points are counted as the frontline soldiers cannot fight to the death. There are 20% of the war, the Divine Guards did not collapse, and Dangxiang did not dare to chase them. They could barely deserve the elite. The most terrible thing is that they retreated and gave the lord to the thief."

Li Zhang said: "Now the court is all blamed Liu Xing, the commander of the right wing commander of the Shenwei Guard, and others. Before the lord retreated, he led his troops back. If they could fight to the death, the two commanders in charge of the army would not be lost to the Dangxiang army."
