The army, food, grass, armies, and civilians began to gather in Qingyang and Yanzhou at the end of April of the fifth year of Chengwu in the Qin Dynasty.

By mid-May, the Qin people's attack on Xia had already been revealed, but Xixia's reaction was very slow. Until the end of May, the Qin people's army set off on the border, and the scouts had already begun to enter the Xia territory. They began to investigate the enemy situation on a large scale. Only then did Xixia react completely.

The snow-filled report flew to the garrisons of the major military commanders, and was then sent to Xingqing, the capital of Xixia.

In fact, when the Qin army was divided into several ways and entered the Xixia border, when the wars were everywhere, the decisions of the Xixia court did not pass to the major military departments. In other words, most of the early wars were done by the major military departments of the Xixia, and they made decisions on the spot.

By the time the Western Xia court issued a conscription order, the whole country moved to resist the invasion of the Qin people, the war had reached a state of full swing...

The negligence in Xixia made this war more like a raid. The only major military departments are ready to welcome the attack of the Qin people, and the only ones in Xixia Zuoxiang Army and the Jianing Army that were controlled by the Zuoxiang Army.

Of course, in mid-May of this year, most of the eyes of the Xixia court were still on the war of the northern grassland tribes' southward invasion. Starting from Wulahai City, Shengzhou, Fengzhou and Linzhou were successively lost...

The news reached Xingqing. The ministers of the Xixia court were shocked and the Northeast Road Commander Li Yuanhan asked about the question to enter Beijing.

Even the Prime Minister Li Yuankang, who had been in power for many years, could not suppress his ministers as before. If the Qin people had not attacked later, the party and government of the Xixia might have entered another stage.

It was not Li Yuanhan who led the Left-Chang Army Army to drive the grassland barbarians back to the grassland. Li Yuankang used this to carry out a new cruel and abnormal purge in the court, or the position of Prime Minister of the Western Xia Dynasty fell again in the Xixia court, which had once again staged a power dispute that affected all aspects of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Such a drama is not uncommon in Xixia. Every time it will turn upside down, people will roll in. The powerful people in the court of Xixia came through such a bloody storm. It has never stopped since the founding of Yuanhao. As long as Xixia is still in one day, this kind of cruel internal strife that can be called jiliè will not disappear.

According to the Han system, the Dangxiang court established could not solve this chronic disease that had no way to eliminate in the Han court. For the Dangxiang powerful and wealthy who were extremely keen on power, the end of the lost power was almost the death of the clan and almost no one could escape.

This made them full of bloody scent in the power struggle, but in fact, they were no different from the Jurchen Khitans.

But this time, the battle between the old and the new was in full swing, was barely interrupted by the war.

Not to mention the Western Xia people, I only talk about the fifth year of Chengwu in the Great Qin Dynasty. In May of the fifth year of Chengwu, the general of the northwest, the Duke of Xingguo, and the champion general Zhao Shi finally came to Qingyang. The commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace were also the commander of the imperial guards in the palace and the generals.

Having received the order from General Zhao Shi, he rushed to the commander of the army in Yanzhou, Northwest who was waiting for Qingyang first. The general cut off the exchange rate and the generals of the generals from the Northwest Army Town to welcome him.

Zhao Shi did not delay any time and immediately led people into the city.

Without him giving any instructions, the Qingyang Guardian's Mansion automatically became the place where the general was stationed.

However, since the news of the general's rebellion and attacking Xia this year reached the northwest tribes, and the troops were immediately shocked by them. While the generals of each tribe were excited, what they wanted to know most was where the generals marched in the battle against Xia, what status they had in the army against Xia, etc.

As for who led the troops to attack Xia, it is also among the generals. Of course, there is no need to fight for the commander of the army. It must be the champion general Zhao Shi. No one in the Qin army can compare with him, regardless of his prestige or merit.

But the difference between the Battle of Xia and other previous wars is that it must be that all the ranks of all the troops will advance together. Who will lead the troops and who will be the general Zhao Shi is interested in, is worth looking forward to.

When Zhao Shi was still in Pingliang, many people made suggestions, and there were many memorials sent to the court. There were countless people who asked for pleading for mercy.

The Northwest General is brave in the army. I really don’t have too many people who want to be the only one in this battle.

It is certainly a good thing to be so strong in the desire to fight, but it also shows in disguise that the Northwest Army has been loneliness over the years

Back then, the northwestern tribes were undoubtedly the pillars of the Qin army. Whether in the court or in the army, most of the court officials and generals had the experience of serving in the northwest. During the long war with the Xixia people, many generals in the army were created like Zeemu Qing.

But with the shift of the center of gravity of the Qin Dynasty's offensive, the time when the Northwest Town Army was most prosperous quickly passed.

When the Shu Kingdom was conquered, the Northwest Zhenjun was still the main force, but that battle was also the biggest battle against the Northwest Zhenjun. Many Northwest strong troops were surrounded by bandits in Shu, and were seriously injured. It also opened the beginning of the decline of the Northwest Zhenjun.

When the army left the east, although there were still the Northwest Town Army, their status had been replaced by the Tongguan Guards and the Beijing Army. In the first east expedition, under the command of King Li Xuandao of Wei, the Northwest soldiers and horses could still compete with the confidant generals of the King of Wei for a while. When Zhang Peixian led his troops to the east, the Northwest soldiers and horses could only serve as foils.

Especially the two families of Zhongzhe, which emerged from the Northwest Town Army, gradually separated from the scope of the Western Army. One began to establish himself in the imperial guards in the palace, while the other turned to the Eastern Army.

As a result, the decline of the Northwest Town Army has reached an irreversible level.

Whether it is the soldiers or the food and supplies, the Northwest Town Army began to gradually fall into the imperial guards in front of the palace. Behind the East Army, the Northwest Town Army, which had many heroes, has ended up in such a state over the years, which looks a bit desolate, but in fact, it is the general trend and there is nothing to be strange about.

Without the tempering of war, no matter how strong the people in the northwest are, it will be in vain.

If we trace the root of the root cause, the culprit that caused all this is Zhao Shi. He started his career in Fengxiang's regiment, established himself in the Yulin Guard of the Beijing Army, conquered and destroyed Shuzhong, supported the imperial guards in the palace, returned to Beijing and established the military supervisor, and won the army of the tiger and the martial arts. He went east to conquer the young and strong in the river, and became the soldiers and horses in the river.

The battle with Hedong again made the Hedong defenders take shape. It can be said that with the general Zhao Shi along the way, it is also an important reason why the Northwest Town Army is gradually being ignored.

Otherwise, if it were the first time when we talked about battles on the battlefield, who would have thought of the strong soldiers in the northwest?

However, no one has carefully investigated the reasons. When the Qin Dynasty showed its ambition and strength to unify the world, the decline of the Northwest Town Army was actually inevitable. This is the general trend, no one can reverse it, and Zhao Shi just followed the trend...

However, after the Chang'an Incident, Zhehui served as the commander of Yanzhou Town Army, and the Northwest Town Army began to improve slightly.

Of course, everyone understands that the general's re-employment of Yanzhou's army is no different from being demoted. From Heluo to Yanzhou in the northwest, such a transformation, as long as his mind is fine, no one will think that it is high promotion.

Therefore, the improvement of the Northwest Town Army can have had little to do with the general's transfer, just because at that time, the court's plan began to deflect northwest again.

In the war in the first year of Chengwu, the Xibeizhen Army was a little proud, swept the Xixia border village along the way, and destroyed Zhuoluo, the Southern Army and the Suizhou Army. Its military achievements were quite good.

But it cannot change the status of the supporting role of the Northwest Town Army, because General Zhao Shi gathered more than 200,000 troops at that time and launched the battle to attack Hedong.

Determine Taiyuan, seize Datong, and lead troops north to conquer the grassland tribes for their own use. No matter which achievement is taken out alone, it can make the contributions of the various divisions of the Northwest Town Army lose their reputations.

Undoubtedly, the attacks of various troops from the northwest were to be a partial army for the Battle of Hedong, so that Xixia would not dare to move lightly.

It can be said that over the years, all the troops in the northwest have become so depressed that the prestige of the Zhang family in the northwest army is inevitable. However, Zhehui can barely compete with the Zhang family in the Yanzhou Town Army with the remaining power of his father and grandfather. The Zhe family has left the northwest town army for too long, but the Zhang family has been operating here for many years. If it weren't for those changes, otherwise, Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander of Yanzhou, would have been able to put the general in mid-air, so that he could not get down or get up.

Zhao Shi had expected the situation of the Northwest Town Army, but it was useless, but he had to go to the battlefield to find out because he had never been in the Northwest Town Army.

When he arrived in Qingyang, he was still familiar with him. He came with the army back then. Because of Li Jinhua, he was highly treated in Qingyang and helped with some military affairs.

However, it was already more than ten years ago. Returning to his hometown has changed a lot. The generals who led the army, except for Li Renquan, had all returned to the old countryside. They had never seen one of the old acquaintances back then. Only a few generals looked familiar, and they thought they had just met one person...

The only thing that made him feel a little different was that the number of Xianfeng Army was still there. After many twists and turns, this team can still survive to this day. It can be said that it is quite difficult.

In fact, when he arrived in Qingyang, he had no time to recall the past.

He could see the rising fighting spirit from these Qingyang generals. It was almost the same in Yanzhou, and the morale of the army was available. This idea flashed through Zhao Shi's mind, making him a little satisfied because he did not see the lazy scene of old decay and declining morale of the army...
