'You're welcome......

Zhao Xu saw that Zhang Qi and the others looked like they were all-encompassing all the military, and he slandered in his heart.

The imperial expedition is indeed an extremely important thing, and the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty was almost captured, which has become a knot and fear in the Great Song Dynasty.

It can also be seen how difficult it was for Kou Zhun to force Emperor Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person.

"For the time being, I will inspect all parts of Qinzhou, and I will see all the civil and military officials I can see,"

Zhao Xu's mind flashed with thoughts, so he restrained his emotions and said in a deep voice: "In addition, send the news of my arrival in Qinzhou to everywhere, and then issue a message in my name, mainly to reprimand Li Xia Buchen for rebellion, hoping that they will know their way back." ”

In fact, this is an edict declaring war, if Western Xia does not fight, Zhao Xu will also fight.

"Command!"

Zhang Qi responded.

Zhao Xu nodded, watching Zhang Qi and a group of people walk out, leaving only the people he brought.

Zhao Xu held the teacup, thinking about the battle situation in his heart, for a while, and said lightly: "Send that Xiao Tiancheng back, and order Xu to closely watch the movements of the Liao." Also, Is that Minga Ahsan reliable? ”

This famous Ahsan was completely made by Cai You, and Cai You was not there at the moment, so Huo Xu would do it for him.

Huo Xu rarely appeared in front of Zhao Xu, and when he saw Zhao Xu asking, his expression was nervous and serious, and he said: "The official family, the Imperial City Division has tested it several times, this person's words are vague, there are many concealments, and he may not really surrender to my Great Song, and he needs to be vigilant." ”

Zhao Xu snorted, and then his eyes narrowed slightly? "But? What he said about Pingxia City should be true. ”

Pingxia City? You can see the meaning from the name.

For the sake of this city? The Western Xia invaded in a big way, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides? In the end, the Song Dynasty won, and Emperor Shenzong was proud? Will this fortress? Renamed 'Pingxia City', the ambition is self-evident.

At the same time, it also shows the strategic position of this city!

Huo Xu didn't dare to answer, and stood there with his bow.

Zhao Xu thought about it? Suddenly glanced at Chu You? Said: "Some people in the Haw Par Army are not very peaceful? ”

Chu Yu slammed, knelt on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "The minister must cook cleanly!" ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand, the 'new law' has touched all vested interests, is it not surprising that some people in the army have some ideas? Chu You was picked up by him, and there was absolutely no reason to rebel against him.

"Go, right? Make some merits, are you a person close to me? Don't underestimate it. Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said in a flat tone.

"Command!" Chu You said in a deep voice with a fierce light in his eyes? Salute again? Withdrew.

Zhao Xu watched him leave? shook his head, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: If this continues, I must be the enemy of the whole world.

'We have to ease the policy, we can't go too fast......

Zhao Xu thought in his heart, Zhang Dan's attitude on the issue of the 'new law' is very tough, Zhao Xu has already rejected his request for a comprehensive revival of the 'new law' next year, if the 'new law' is adjusted again, I am afraid that this minister will not be so easy to accept.

'The master of ZTE is not easy to do......

Zhao Xu sighed again in his heart.

"Let's go, go out for a walk."

Zhao Xu didn't give himself much time to sigh, put down the teacup and stood up.

One of the main purposes of his visit this time was to boost the morale of the army and the people, and he could not sit and rest all the time.

Chen Pi, Nan Tianyou, Huo Xu and others responded and hurriedly arranged.

Zhang Ji, Zong Ze and others came out to accompany them and walked on the city wall of Qinzhou.

Almost everyone in Qinzhou City knew that the current official family had come to Qinzhou, but most of them were seeing Zhao Xu for the first time.

"See the official family."

"See the official family."

"See the official family."

Along the way, I don't know how many people saluted.

Zhao Xu kept smiling and nodding, and said things like 'no courtesy' and 'hard work' with his right hand.

There are almost no generals left in Qinzhou City, but the garrison is as high as 70,000, which is the most important backup, the center of grain and grass.

After turning around, on the way back, Zhang Qi said: "Official, the keeper of Pingxia City is Guo Cheng, the deputy governor of Huanqing Road, with 20,000 troops, all kinds of city defense equipment, sufficient firearms, the city has been expanding, and the Xia people are not good at attacking the city, if the Xia people go straight to Pingxia City, within five days, the ministers can be redeployed......"

Pingxia City, from the name, you know the importance of the Great Song Dynasty, and the garrison will naturally not be easy.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "This battle, how to fight, is still unknown, however, the initiative cannot be in the hands of the Xia people, my idea is that Wuyan Gorge should be completely taken down, as long as Wuyan Gorge is taken, there will be no problem with Tiandu Mountain, hold Tiandu Mountain, then what we want, we will have it at our fingertips." ”

Tiandu Mountain is not only strategically important, but also a horse-producing land, which is eye-catching in any aspect and is very important to the strategic purpose of the Great Song Dynasty!

The corners of Zhang Qi's face were thin and resolute, and he said, "Yes." If you can take Tiandu Mountain, then the rich land in the northwest is in the hands of my Great Song Dynasty. The Xia people are already poor and sparsely populated, so they will inevitably hit Li Xia ...... hard."

If you want to talk about Western Xia, it is really a poor army, with a population of only two or three million, but the standing army is as high as 500,000, and the Song Dynasty fights against the three and a half million army at every turn, which is unimaginable!

Zhao Xu didn't care how Xixia tried his best to fish, and greeted Zhang Qi's words, and said with a smile: "If you kill more than one stone, then you have to hold it in your hand......"

Zhang Qi was just about to speak, Nan Tianyou suddenly hurriedly ran over, and whispered directly in Zhao Xu's ear: "The official family, the secret report from the Xia people, the 100,000 army, suddenly appeared, and went straight to Pingxia City, calculate the time, it is about to arrive." ”

Zhao Xu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Is it reliable?" ”

Nan Tianyou knew that the matter was very important, nodded heavily, and said, "The three channels of the minister all say so. ”

Zhao Xu's face sank like water and looked at Zhang Qi.

At such a close distance, even if you whisper, you can hear it.

Zhang Qi's expression was calm, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Official, this matter is not an accident. It was not so urgent, the minister had already sent reinforcements, and the other fortresses could not hold out. Now, the minister asked the Haw Par Army to rush to the aid of Pingxia City. ”

Zhao Xu is now in Qinzhou, not far from Huanqing Road, but a little far from Pingxia City.

He was a little nervous in his heart, but his face did not move, and said: "Well, the army of the Sixth Route of Shaanxi is at your disposal." ”

"Commandment." Zhang Qi raised his hand in response, and immediately strode away.

Zhao Xu looked at his back, exhaled lightly, and turned his gaze to the northwest.

Zhao Xu couldn't hold back the complicated emotions surging in his heart, and said, "I really want to go over in person......"

Chen Pi was startled, but he didn't dare to persuade him.

There was no movement in Qinzhou City on the surface, but the various deployments were very fast, and Chu You's tiger and leopard army went directly north on the same day and rushed to Pingxia City.

At this time, Pingxia City.

Guo Cheng, the deputy governor, stood at the head of the city, facing the wind.

He is only forty, five official, calm eyes, the corners of his face have the roughness of a military general, and there is also a trace of the outline of a Confucian general.

Yao Xiong, the deputy general beside him, said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Manager Guo, Xia Ren's movements are a little strange, late is late, fast is fast, I am in danger in Pingxia City." ”

His younger brother Yao Gu was also Guo Cheng's deputy general, and when he saw the Xia people approaching, he said a little anxiously: "Deputy Chief, the soldiers of Pingxia City are full of food, there should be no problem, but the nearby Wuzhai is a little dangerous, if the other villages fall, Pingxia City will become a lonely city!" ”

Guo Cheng said in a calm tone: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that the reinforcements will come too quickly." ”

Yao Xiong and Yao Gu were stunned, and they didn't know why.

Without waiting for them to ask, Guo Cheng said: "The order is to stick to it, four days and five villages, depending on the situation, you can give up and retreat." ”

The Yao brothers were shocked and retreated privately, but it was a felony!
