"Your Majesty, do you want to think that there is still Shazhou?" He sighed softly, his eyes lit up with a little pity, and even a little disappointing.

"There is still a battle between the Southern Dynasty and the Jurchens, and I don't have a chance." Li Renxiao still had a bit of luck, pinning his hopes on the breakdown of relations between the North and the South, although it was very wishful thinking, but it was not a thought.

"Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision, even if the north and the south go to war? can only let the villain get his will, and his majesty will get nothing. He said leisurely, he really didn't want to break Li Renxiao's illusions, but he couldn't help but destroy them.

How could Li Renxiao not know that Ren Dejing said, at this time, as long as you have soldiers and use value, you have a lot of room for maneuver, Ren Dejing can betray once, but he can't betray the second time, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Should he be allowed to join the guard, I'm afraid it's also a matter of victory." ”

"I'm afraid people are about to be second ministers again." The Yan clan stared at Li Renxiao, unveiled the obscurity without hesitation, and said calmly: "Kansai is occupied by big stones, and Hexi is caught in a north-south confrontation, and the future is bleak. ”

"Oh." Li Renxiao looked at the Gang family in surprise, and was speechless. Ren Dejing was defeated and did not return to Xingqing, and entered Jingzhou to defend himself behind closed doors, obviously having a different mind.

What makes him most unbearable is that no matter whether he deceives himself or deliberately reminds him, he always knows that Yelu Dashi has gone to the Western Regions, is expanding his territory, and has achieved a period of hegemony, where can he go? The steppe is impossible, Hexi is at war, leaving him with little space.

Perhaps, after walking for a short time, it will be jointly conquered by the Song and Jin armies, which is not an impossible thing, but a reality.

Seeing her husband's unwilling but confused appearance, she sighed deeply and said softly: "The westward journey is difficult and the future is unpredictable, in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, it may be a good ending to be a marquis of ten thousand households for the rest of your life!" ”

Li Renxiao looked at the Yan family in surprise, his lips were agitated but he didn't know how to say it, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Qu Duan was not anxious, he restrained the army to slowly encircle, constantly swept away the strongholds around Xingqing, took Huaizhou, Yongzhou, and besieged Jingzhou, the remnants of the Xia army were no longer able to resist, and had to give up the limited strongholds, gradually gathered, and only Gao Ping led the army to show off his might in Gaotai Temple City, and made an attack on Xingqing.

Huaizhou, Yongzhou and even Xiping Mansion and other places, quickly had the Great Song Dynasty civil officials take over, what is the return to Kaifeng, the system he formulated is still there, Xin Bing is also supervising in Yanzhou, there is no slackness, and the atrocities of the soldiers are not allowed.

When the Song army occupied these areas, it was true that there were no large-scale disturbances to the people, but instead they used military rations to help the people in the city, and in addition to the normal defense of the defenders, other troops withdrew to station outside the city, and did not extort money from the soldiers and civilians.

The civil officials contacted prominent figures, as well as some elders of large clans, to appease the people and restore order inside and outside the city.

Of course, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, the Song army follows the five-season customs, and even the war needs to be rewarded with gold and silver on the spot, sporadic atrocities still inevitably occur, and the general will naturally turn a blind eye, and the civil officials are unwilling.

Just as in Xiazhou, Longzhou, and Yanzhou, these civilian officials resolutely stood on the side of the people and resolutely punished the behavior of soldiers who disturbed the people.

According to the military law of the new military system, when soldiers disturb the people, local officials have the right to get the military judge to cooperate and severely crack down on the lawbreaker.

The rapid restoration of order in those military states in the east was the result of the mutual cooperation between civilian officials and military judges, and the military judges did not dare to be overly persistent, so that the civilian officials grasped the handle, and with their joint efforts, the order of life was initially restored.

The newly occupied military states were all the core areas of party rule, and the conservative forces were the strongest, and the civilian officials did their best to appease the people, so as not to cause a big mess.

However, this time, the military judges did not compromise, and in the face of the officials who brutally killed and rebelled against the party and tribes, but were harassed and arrested by the civilian officials, they resolutely stood up to defend it, and it was another chicken feather and an unclear saliva lawsuit.

Fortunately, Xin Bing is also an understanding person, and made the decision to defend the military judge, so that the soldiers and horses stationed in the garrison can let go of their hands and feet and exterminate the party members who dare to resist. The effect received is excellent, it is no longer the eastern military states to try to be appeased and accommodating, and the rolling heads make those people understand that the Great Song Dynasty not only has cakes, but also sharp blades.

The civil officials complained, but under Xin Bing's persuasion, they endured it and let those martial artists be arrogant once.

In the north, the mixed brigade from the provincial Weicheng also arrived in Dingzhou, this army of nearly 10,000 people showed off its might, it was simply unstoppable, and they did not put the Dingzhou defenders in their eyes at all, they did not send a warning force at all when they passed through the city, and openly defied it, leading the Xia army to fight angrily.

The two armies fought fiercely in the south of Dingzhou City, the defenders of Dingzhou invested eighty percent of their soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 Xia troops lined up to fight in an attempt to defeat the Song army in one fell swoop.

In this battle, Jing Bo was majestic, and his brigade town served as the main body of this brigade, that is to say, he commanded the army with full authority, which can be regarded as the kindness of Xie Qian and Xu Huiyan, and it is also the goodwill they released to Wang Xiu when they put aside the twist.

In this southward march with almost no suspense, Jing Bo is also qualified to take on heavy responsibilities and add a heavy stroke to his military career.

In other words, it was a first-class war, he was very arrogant, but he was extremely cautious, the brigade was not vigilant on the surface, but in fact there were chariots and horse soldiers ready to go, they were separated from the infantry column, and it was easy to enter the wartime formation.

In the face of the Xia army's battle, he immediately set up a formation, asking the Ma army to block the Xia army's temptation and curb the opponent's attempt to disrupt the Song army's formation, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but let the Xia army, which was like a rainbow, attack five or six times in a row.

In the end, he revised a letter to the capital of a given state, saying that the two armies were exhausted and agreed to fight again tomorrow, which was also a miracle.

However, the commander of the Dingzhou capital army is also a wonderful person, so he agreed, and did not return to the city to be stationed on the spot, and the two sides were fine overnight.

The next day, the two armies set up a position, Jing Bo still let go, let the Xia army attack three times, the Song army stood still, and even the other party's retreat did not chase and kill, which made people seem to be a truly humble gentleman, with the demeanor of the pre-Qin and Song Xianggongs.

At noon, he looked up at the sun, nodded and said, "It should be almost, it's time for us to show our hands." ”

The flags of the five sides waved, the war drums sounded, and the Song army, which had been aggrieved for two days, suddenly launched an attack, with two car battalions as the vanguard, directly plundering the two wings of the Xia army, and the two wings of the infantry army followed up, and a horse army camp broke through in the middle, which was simply reversed.
