In the summer of 1681, Zhe Yanchong issued an order to posthumously present Zong Ying, the deputy marshal who died in Hebei in battle, as the marshal, and at the same time issued Zhao Gou's "Apology Form" to inform the world.

Of course, Zhao Gou's letter of apology will not appear south of the Huai River, and the border between the Han and Song dynasties has not yet been officially demarcated, but both sides have their own things to do, so some areas are temporarily out of ambiguity.

In the east, Han Shizhong strongly demanded the establishment of a strong naval division to compete with the Han Ministry after Ouyang Shi retreated, and the civil official system headed by Zhao Ding also strongly agreed with Han Shizhong's proposition, and Zhao Gou himself also deeply experienced the importance of the construction of the naval division - in front of the naval division of the Han Dynasty, the Yangtze River has become a thoroughfare rather than a moat! Because the threat from the sea is so powerful, the idea of coastal defense is raised to an unprecedented level.

In the west, Zhang Jun wanted to disobey several times after receiving the edict of cutting off the northwest, but on the one hand, Liu Qi and Qu Duan were pressing step by step, on the other hand, Zhao Gou was afraid that the Han would make a comeback, and even issued an edict ordering him to withdraw to Hanzhong, Zhang Jun could not extricate himself under the pressure of both internal and external aspects, and in the end, Jiankang even had hints of words questioning Zhang Jun to support the troops of the northwest to stand on his own, so Zhang Jun could no longer hold on, led the troops to retreat into Hanzhong, and some Shaanxi soldiers were unwilling to leave, and rebelled against the Han on the eve of Zhang Jun's retreat to the south. From the north of the Qinling Mountains, it was all under the New Han regime. However, since the administrative power of the center of the Xinhan regime could not reach for a while, this piece of land was actually in a state of autonomy. After Zhang Jun retreated south, Liu Qi shifted his attention to the northwest to guard against Western Xia. On this piece of land, the defense force of the local defenders of Shaanxi is basically complete. Soon Zhang Jun was dismissed, and Lin Yi and others, who were imprisoned by Zhang Jun, were able to return - after that, Lin Yi disappeared in the northwest and was never heard from again, and most people thought that he had gone into hiding because he was disabled.

During the conflict between the Han and Song dynasties, although the Western Xia had the heart to move, the Western Xia at this time was no longer the Western Xia that emphasized military force and light literature in the era of Li Yuanhao, but the Western Xia that became heavy on literature and light on military force after the reform of Renzong, so after several small-scale attacks were successfully blocked by the border Han army, this Western country became honest again. What made Liu Qi even more surprised was that he felt that Xixia's attention didn't seem to be all on Qin Fenglu's side, because in several conflicts, Brother Wei Mingcha and his direct deployment did not appear. After Cao Guangbi transferred the letter to the Xia lord in his capacity as the minister of the New Han regime, the Xia lord quickly reacted and sent an envoy to Taiyuan to express his willingness to stick to the old frontier.

In the south, it is Zhao Gou Junchen in the stage of an internal drama, Jiangnan in the Han and Song Dynasty after the signing of the new covenant gradually stabilized and prosperous, Lu Yihao resigned, Qin Hui ascended, the political situation of the Song court gradually stabilized, but Jingnan pacified the battle of Zhong Xiang because of the delay of the early fighters and fought quite difficult, many Song generals in this war in the front of the horse, and a new star in this war rose rapidly, from the second-line generals to the first-line generals.

"There is really such a person as Yue Fei!" In Tanggu, Yang Kaiyuan secretly wondered when he heard this name: "There is also Han Shizhong...... Can Ying Qi really predict the prophet? Or had he noticed the talents of these two men a long time ago? ”

However, this is not a very important issue, Yang Kaiyuan just had a flash of inspiration in his mind when he had nothing to do, and his greatest energy was still on the war in the north. In the confrontation between Yanjing and Tanggu, Yang Kaiyuan and Zong Fu had already done their best, and neither side could help anyone. Yang Kaiyuan didn't care much about this in his heart, because he was not famous for attacking cities and conquering places, and the established strategy of the Xinhan regime never intended to use the Tanggu defenders as a breakthrough to open up the situation.

"But this deadlock has to be broken!"

At this time, Yang Kaiyuan thought of a person, an army: "Is he still alive?" Is there still the power to fight? ”

In fact, Yang Yingqi thought of this person earlier than Yang Kaiyuan, and sent the letter to Tanggu and Shandong, and handed it over to Taiyuan, but long before the letter arrived, Cao Guangbi was already actively contacting that person.

The person that all the brothers are thinking about is naturally Xiao Tienu.

It is conceivable that now that the defense line of Taiyuan has been stabilized and Shaanxi has also been reached, in this case, the lone army at the foot of Yinshan Mountain is no longer a lone army. Shaanxi, Hedong and Eilechuan can be connected! Although the military forces of Hedong and Shaanxi are not enterprising, they can serve as the rear of Xiao Ziqi, providing an endless stream of stamina for this sharp blade! But what made Cao Guangbi strange was that he couldn't contact Xiao Tienu! The people sent to Yinshan, whether they were open envoys or secret envoys, all went and never returned. Cao Guangbi once thought of inquiring about the news of Yinshan through the Western Xia, but after discovering that the Western Xia had an ambiguous attitude, he did not rush it.

"What the hell happened to the Iron Slave?"

Shaanxi is not far from Eilechuan, it is impossible for Xiao Tienu not to notice such a big thing as Qinchuan Yizhi, and if he does, it is impossible not to send someone to contact and inquire about the news! But none of these things that were supposed to happen "should" have happened.

"Could it be ......" Cao Guangbi remembered an ominous possibility: "Could it be that before Hedong was hit, Xiao Ziqi had already been ...... by Zong Han"

Cao Guangbi guessed right! Taiyuan is indeed not the first target of the Jin Army after its victory!

Since Zong Han decided to break through each one, he was bound to start with the side with the least resistance force. Xiao Ziqi hinterland is the shallower, logistics and two sides of the enemy, although the combat effectiveness is good, but the lack of the number of troops is also its fatal wound, if the siege with a large army, once the main force is weak, it is difficult to escape the fate of annihilation - even if Xiao Tienu himself can take a small number of people to escape, the combat effectiveness of his army will also be invalid, even Xiao Tienu with the main force to the south, as long as he leaves the Elechuan, his threat to the clouds will be greatly reduced, and the pressure on Zong Han will be reduced a lot. Therefore, when Zong Bi galloped in Hebei, Zong Han had already sent a letter to the Marshal of Western Xia, Wei Mingchage, asking him to flank Xiao Tienu, and the Jin army only wanted to get rid of Xiao Tienu, and after removing Xiao Tienu, the south of Yinshan belonged to Western Xia, and then Jin Xia was a neighbor for ten thousand years.

Zong Han's sincerity was quickly restored, so Zong Han forced Taiyuan with Lou Murmur commander Yelu Yujian and others, but his elite troops forced into Yunnei together with Wanyan Xiyin's troops. Zong Han's original general plan was: first cut and surround several armies of the Han Army, the first step was to annihilate the Xiao Ziqi, and after the annihilation of the Xiao Ziqi, quickly transfer troops to besiege Hedong, and the third step was the turn of Yang Kaiyuan in Tanggu.

This Hu-Han battle has reached its fiercest point, and the two sides are still competing for time!

Because Taiyuan is very conservative, so Zong Han's troop movement to the southern foot of Yinshan has hardly been blocked, Zong Han also expected that the battle in Hedong is likely to be delayed for a long time, but although the battle with Xiao Tienu is tragic, it can be quickly resolved, as long as the timing is right, after eliminating Xiao Tienu, you can still quickly transfer back the army to besiege Taiyuan!

However, Zong Han underestimated Xiao Tienu's cunning, just as he underestimated Cao Guangbi's tenacity in the subsequent siege of Hedong.

On that day, hunting in the wild wind under the mountain, at the intersection of entering Yunnei, Zong Han encountered a roadblock, but this roadblock was not Xiao Ziqi, but an iron harrier!

Seeing the soldiers and horses of Western Xia appear here, Zong Han's face changed a little, and he sent a messenger to hear the news, and he was even more surprised when he knew who the other party's commander was!

Brother Mingcha!

Why is Brother Mingcha here? Looking at Xia Jun's arrangement in this area, it is obvious that he has not come from thousands of miles away, but has been operating here for a long time, waiting for work!

Zong Han's envoy asked, "Why is the King of Jin here?" ”

Brother Wei Mingcha laughed when he heard this: "Didn't the minister invite me here?" That's why I'm here. ”

Of course, this can't be the real answer, but Zong Han's envoy still couldn't help but continue to ask where Xiao Tienu is, and Brother Wei Mingcha smiled: "The letter given to me by the Minister of State said that he killed people, I got the land, I am in charge of the land and don't care about people, where is Xiao Tienu, I should ask the Minister of State!" ”

After Brother Wei Mingcha finished speaking, the Western Xia generals next to him all showed smug smiles, last time Zong Han deceived the Western Xia to invade Song and Xiao, and afterwards forced the Xia people to chase away the Xia people, causing the Xia people to steal chickens and not to counter the rice, this matter Xia Bian generals all hated their teeth, and now they finally seized the opportunity to take revenge on Zong Han, this refreshment is really indescribable!

The envoy of the Jin army was so angry that his face turned pale, and Brother Wei Mingcha accepted it when he saw it, and said: "That's it, I'll give you a letter, I've been here for a long time, and the place was exchanged with Xiao Tienu with five thousand horses, as for where the others are, I promised him not to say, forgive me." You go back and tell the Prime Minister that if he is willing to stop here, then it will be convenient for us to settle down, and from then on, Jinxia will be reconciled and each other will be lips and teeth. If not, we'll see on the battlefield! ”

After the Jin envoy went back, he informed Zong Han of the news, and Zong Han was so angry that he thundered. But it has come to this, and it will not help to jump on your feet. The generals of the Jin army either joined the Xia or attacked the main attack, Zong Han saw that the Xia people were prepared, and finally endured it considering the victory or defeat of the entire situation.

But where will Xiao Tienu go? Zong Han's first reaction was for Xiao Tienu to go south into Shaanxi, or simply take a detour to Hedong to help Cao Guangbi defend. If that's the case, it's easier to deal with, but it's just to spend more effort when attacking Hedong, but in case Xiao Tienu crosses Yin Mountain and attacks Yan Yun's back, it will be difficult to do.

In the end, Zong Han left Yan Xiyin in the northwest, both to defend against Western Xia and Xiao Ziqi, and he himself quickly went south to attack Taiyuan. Zong Han's speed of mobilizing the army was so fast that even Cao Guangbi did not notice that there had been a gap in the direction of the Jin Army's Yunzhong Road. However, in the entire Taiyuan offensive and defensive battle, Xiao Tienu's sharp blade never appeared, and the more he didn't appear, the more uneasy Zong Han felt.

This horse thief! Where the hell did he hide?

Jin Han on both sides, no one knows.
