The most terrible thing is that it was self-defeating to let the Song army arrive in Xiping Mansion, once the general trend has gone, Li Renxiao no longer has any hesitation, and immediately let Brother Cha preside over military affairs, Ren Dejing rushed to Huaizhou, urgently armed a group of Ding Zhuang, turned those burdens into regular soldiers, and immediately rushed to the provincial Weicheng to prepare for the battle.

Of course, he did not forget the most important thing, and in a very humble tone, he called Dajin Shang a vassal and asked the Jin army to go south to support.

"I also need to ask for peace with the Southern Dynasty, I think **Gongji is the most suitable." Ren Dejing came slowly.

Li Renxiao very much agreed, even if the Song army was attacking fiercely, he was not without the strength to fight, and what should be made still needs to be done.

In the end, Gan Dao Chong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, King Pu's troubles have made the general tremble, and Xi Yuli should not be appeased!" ”

At this time, Wang Xiu had already left Shamen Island and marched leisurely all the way to Kaifeng, and the battle report from the northwest was naturally delivered.

"Sir, it's good to be in shape, or urge Captain Qu to speed up the march." Zong Liangqing is much better, and seeing the shape of Guantang, he can't help but associate with it.

"Hey, how can it be so easy, Xingqing, oh, Xingzhou is the nest of the party members, backed by Helan Mountain, east of the big river, easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Wang Xiu shook his head and said, he did not advocate a quick attack on the fortified city.

"I have three ways at the same time, the west road cuts off their left and right carriages, the middle road goes straight to the hinterland, the east road annihilates the main force of the left carriage, and then goes north to the province of Weicheng, the big thing can be decided, and we must not hesitate in the wandering." Zong Liang said extremely excitedly, as if victory was just around the corner.

Wang Xiu disagreed, and said lightly: "The captives are in the Tiande Army, but there are sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses!" ”

Zong Liang was speechless when he said this, the Jin army stationed heavy troops in Tiande, Heqing, and Jinsu military prefectures, and they could directly attack the Song army from Fuzhou Road, or they could take advantage of the Song army's fierce battle in the province of Weicheng to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the initiative in the war was in the hands of others.

Although, Wang Xiu's so-called sixty or seventy thousand people is not very accurate, but it is also very different, at least the Western Military Division estimates that the Jin army's horse army reaches 40,000, this is not a joke, with the strength of the other party, once involved in the war, it is tantamount to a real test for the Song army.

"Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan are very calculating, we are fighting back and forth, seeing that the victory is in our hands, but in fact, the initiative is still in their hands." Wang Xiu sighed lightly, sometimes, the state of war is not transferred by personal will, he has already made plans for the battlefield.

Qu Duan's stay was obviously the same as him, and in order to prevent the possible intervention of the Jin army, he used the entire East Road army as a barrier to ensure a breakthrough in the middle road.

Zong Liang was very unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "Even if the captives are rampant, as long as our army takes the provincial city, they will be helpless. ”

"The point is that when you take it down, people are going to make a move." Wang Xiu glanced at Zong Liang, he was very worried about the intervention of the Jin army, now is the critical moment for the destruction of Xia, I am afraid that the Jurchens and Zhang Qiyuan are both insightful, and people's hearts are the most difficult to calculate, even if he and Qu Duan are fully prepared, but they don't know what will happen to others.

"Okay, I believe Qu Zhengfu knows in his heart, the left wing still has considerable strength, Xi Yuli is the key, what we have to do is to delay time and create opportunities for them."

Zong Liangliang was unwilling, but he couldn't help but admit that Wang Xiu was right, and if he wanted to delay the possible attack of the Jin army, he could only increase his troops to the northwest or north, and there was no other way. The Jurchens can accept the defeat of the party, but they cannot accept the party's annihilation of the country, this is a bottom-line issue, and it cannot be settled with gold, silver or land.

"I want to give Qu Duan a bottom line, I must take Lingzhou, only by taking Lingzhou can we completely lay the victory or defeat of the battle and let the captives cast a rat trap."

Wang Xiu did not interfere in the military affairs of the front, let alone speak in vain, he judged according to military theory. Now, Shao Xing actually controls Liangzhou, basically cutting off the eastward aid roads in Ganzhou, Shazhou and other places, and the Song army has defeated the main force of the left wing and occupied the five eastern states, and the party members are struggling with the inner line.

Xiping Mansion should be the strategic position of Lingzhou highlighted, becoming the most important support point for the inward defense of the party members in the south, once it is breached, the importance of the provincial city will decline. The main force of the Song army could cross the sea buckthorn from Yanzhou to Jingzhou, and use Xiping Mansion as an offensive base to launch an attack on Xingqing, without worrying about being attacked by the Jin army.

"You immediately draft a letter to Guantang, and send it to the Northern Servant Army, asking the four major battalions to reorganize their armaments for war, and give me as high a profile as possible, so that all newspapers and newspapers will compete to spread it."

Zong Liang pursed his lips, that is, he was bluffing, putting the greatest pressure on Hedong, Hebei, so that the captives were afraid and did not dare to make big moves.

However, it was said that Xiao Heda returned to Shun, Xie Qian mobilized the army to move westward, and sent Wang Zeren to lead the 63rd Brigade Town, with the cooperation of 8,000 township troops, to launch a comprehensive attack on Jinze.

The Song army went north from Xiazhou, captured Anqingze in one fell swoop, and defeated the resistance of the remnants of the Xia army.

In between, there were several encounters of a small scale, which were defeated by him one by one, and the strategic space of the remnants of the Xia army was constantly compressed, and they could only retreat to the ground step by step.

It must be said that Di Jinze is very unique, Li Jiqian was panicked like a lost dog, and had to abandon his family and lead the elite to flee into this oasis. After recuperation, he regrouped and captured Lingzhou, and gradually achieved a great cause.

Taking the land of Jinze not only has important military value, but also has considerable political significance, which can not only deter the Jurchen Heqing army and Tiande army, but also end the myth of the party and completely stabilize the situation in eastern Xia.

Otherwise, Di Jin Ze is in the hands of the Xia army, and it is an uncomfortable edge for the entire Song army's east defense line.

However, Qu Duan did not ask Xie Qian to launch a large-scale offensive, but on the contrary, he transferred back part of the Ma army that had attacked the surprise attack, and transferred 20,000 township troops from the east road to strengthen the offensive in Xiping Province.

With the Sixth Battalion of the Western Servant Army, the Tianwu Army was liberated and stationed directly outside the Iron Gate Pass to deter Xiyu Lili.

The weather is not in favor, there have been several large land cattle in the north of Xia, due to the war and disputes, a large number of young and middle-aged people have signed lots, Dingzhou, Huaizhou and other rich places have reduced grain production, there has been a lot of famine, many people have gathered to rebel against the government, there are already signs of riots so that Li Renxiao is anxious, the Song army is still raging, the internal riot is about to start, no one can help but lose their heads overnight.

Today, the iron gate is a little weird, the city is heavily guarded, and around Xi Yuli Li's line, all the officials in armor are sharp, and my brother is murderous.

Xi Yuli sat upright with a dark face, another general, Hao Zheng's face was even more unsightly, and Wei Liluo also sat on the side, his face was calm, but his eyes were very unconvinced, full of rich gloom.
