The governor of Dazhou has vaguely guessed that Zheng Yihang and Du Hu stayed in Tongchuan, which must be related to Western Xia.

At that moment, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately shouted outside: "Go and ask Zheng Yihang and Du Hu, the two military commanders, to invite!" ”

No matter where these messengers came from, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu have the two to judge and decide, and there is no need for him, the Lord of Zhizhou, to worry too much.

Waiting for the soldiers outside the door to receive the order, Zhizhou just asked these messengers to stay in the palace for a while, and asked the maids to serve tea.

After that, the content of the conversation only revolved around people's livelihood, customs, and so on. The atmosphere was quite lively.

About half an hour or so passed, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu led more than ten offerings to the door of this hall.

Zhizhou got up and said with a smile: "The two military commanders are here." ”

Then he headed outside.

In terms of official title, he is actually similar to Du Hu and Zheng Yihang. But in terms of gold content, it can't be compared with the two.

After all, there are countless state capitals in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are now more than 20 forbidden armies.

It can be said that every commander in the army is a baby bump of the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, he is also a hero in the eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Those Western Xia messengers also hurriedly got up.

When he arrived at the door, he bowed his hands to Zheng Yihang and Du Hu who were smiling, "I've seen two military commanders!" ”

Zhizhou said beside him: "Commander Du, Commander Zheng, these heroes are all under the command of General Heliancheng of Western Xia. They have come to you to discuss important matters, please inside! ”

Zheng Yihang and Du Hu both arched their hands at Zhizhou, and almost nodded to Zhongxin, and walked towards the lobby.

The messengers followed them.

The governor of Dazhou still had eyes, and only said: "Then you will discuss here, and I will deal with some political affairs first." ”

Then he departed.

Of course, he is making room for Zheng Yihang and others. This is his office, and he needs to go somewhere else to deal with political affairs.

However, Zheng Yihang and others would not stop him.

They knew why these messengers from Helian had come here. And the less people know about this now, the better.

As soon as he sat down in the lobby, Du Hu said to the chief messenger: "General Helian has arrived at the border?" ”

The first messenger nodded, and then handed the letter jointly written by Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian to Du Hu from his sleeve robe, "This is the general's secret letter, please take a look at the two army commanders." ”

Du Hu took the letter and immediately opened it, and Zheng Yihang looked over from the side.

The content of the letter is very simple, asking Du Hu and Zheng Yihang to pay close attention to the movements of the defenders of Pang Hongguang Lizhou East Road. As soon as the defenders of Lizhou East Road approached the camp of Helian City and Qu Rujian, they asked the Great Song Forbidden Army to suppress them. As for the defenders of Fengxiang and Lintao who followed Helian City and Qu Rujian's two armies, they actually said that they could solve it.

This naturally surprised Du Hu and Zheng Yihang, and they didn't know where Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian got their confidence.

Moreover, who will the defenders of Lizhou West Road hand over to deal with?

Naturally, they didn't know that Jia Fenghua on Lizhou West Road had already sent a secret message to the Western Xia Imperial City and expressed his allegiance to Li Xiushu.

This matter, even Western Xia, is a top secret. I'm afraid there are only a few people in the entire Western Xia who know.

Of course, Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian are already aware of it now.

Although he may not still be defensive against Jia Fenghua in his heart, he will not be included in the hostile camp at the moment.

After reading the letter, Du Hu and Zheng Yihang looked at each other.

Then Du Hu looked at the messenger and said, "Please also report to General Helian City, we know it in our hearts." ”

It is true that they only have less than 20,000 forbidden troops under their command, but they are still confident in suppressing Pang Hongguang's defenders on the Lizhou East Road.

After all, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire Lizhou East Road, and the estimate that can be drawn out is at most more than 20,000.

And the Great Song Forbidden Army can often reach ten with one.

The head messenger showed a relaxed look on his face, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Thank you two military commanders." ”

Then he did not stay any longer, and after taking his leave, he left the palace with all the messengers.

Zheng Yihang and Du Hu were still sitting in the lobby.

When these messengers went away, Zheng Yihang looked at Du Hu with a smile and said: "Old Du, Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian have brought almost all the soldiers who can fight in Fengxiang and Lintao to the frontier. If the soldiers of those two roads really planned to rebel against Western Xia, do you think they can beat it? And Lizhou West Road can also send a lot of soldiers out. Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West Road have always been inseparable from their mother-in-law, and they are said to be inseparable from the Tuo, if Fengxiang and Lintao rebel against Xia, then Lizhou West Road will not stand idly by, right? ”

Du Hu chuckled, "him." Since the two of them only need us to suppress the Western Xia army on the Lizhou East Road, then we will do what we have to do. ”

He didn't seem very willing to help Western Xia. It is estimated that it is also because Western Xia did not send troops to help when the Great Song Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides this time, and he was a little resentful in his heart.

A woman is a woman after all.

The Empress of Western Xia simply only thought about taking advantage, and never thought of paying.

Zheng Yihang only laughed when he heard this, and no longer answered.

Of course, he could figure out the thoughts that appeared in Du Hu's heart.

If it weren't for the emperor's order, even he wouldn't want to take care of these messes in Western Xia. Even, it would be better if Pang Hongguang and others could drag the Empress of Western Xia off the horse.

In this way, the Great Song Dynasty can also justifiably directly take down the entire Western Xia in the future.

The current Great Song Dynasty no longer needs the ally of Western Xia. And to be honest, during the time of the alliance, Western Xia really didn't do the Great Song any favor.

Only that time in Chongqing Mansion, Western Xia made great efforts everywhere, but in the end, it was still Marshal Yue who really won Chongqing Mansion, right?

What really made the Great Song Dynasty feel indebted to Western Xia was that Li Wangyuan, the emperor of Western Xia, died in Chongqing Mansion. There is really no merit, and there is hard work.

It didn't take long for the governor of Dazhou to return to the lobby.

However, he didn't ask the messengers what they said about Du Hu and Zheng Yihang.

The three of them just exchanged pleasantries in the lobby, and then Du Hu and Zheng Yihang also said goodbye and left.

On this day, the Tianxiong and Tianmeng armies began to prepare in the military camp outside the city, preparing to send troops to approach the frontier.

Two more days.

Emperor Xing left Changsha.

Jinghu North Road, Jingzhou.

Zhu Haiwang, Zhong Jian, Duan Shi, Yu Feihang, and others have been in Jingzhou City for four days.

Although Zhu Haiwang often went to the Zhennan Military District to have a look, and Zhang Jue stood for him, he had not officially taken over the affairs of the Tianyan Army.

Gu Junying and Ge Zaixin were fully responsible for the time when the army went to Dali.

to this day.

The army is finally ready.

A sergeant sent a message to the Generalissimo's Mansion in Zhennan, saying that the army could set off at any time.

When Zhang Jue heard this, he immediately called Zhu Haiwang and others to the main hall.

Then he didn't mean to keep a few more people, so he took everyone to the Zhennan Military Region.

I don't know what the situation is in Dali now, but Zhu Haiwang and others' trip to Dali is indeed quite urgent.

The army led by Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei, as the vanguard, was already too far ahead of them at this time.

Although Zhang Jue takes a fancy to Zhu Haiwang, in this case, he naturally will not keep him because of his personal relationship.

Not long after arriving at the Dezhennan Military Region, Zhu Haiwang, Gu Junying, and others left the military region with the Tianjiu and Tianhui armies and headed west.

Most of the officers and men in these two armies were originally under the command of Feng Hebi and Duan Shi.

Although they were also defenders from various provinces and towns, there were always some of them who knew Duan Shi.

Seeing that Duan Shi was now wearing the official robe of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't know what those soldiers were thinking.

And Duan Shi faced these old faces, and his heart was probably a little complicated.

I think how lofty I was when I first came to the Song Dynasty. He thought that he could become the real prince of Dali.

Now it can only be said that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

But he was also helpless, because if he didn't surrender. The only thing he faces is death.

And these soldiers think the same is true.

They say it's a surrender, but it's no different from a captive. If you don't vote for Song, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to go back to Dali alive.

Dali was reckless this time, and most of the domestic troops gathered in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Forbidden Army finally defeated them, and there was no reason why they would return to the mountains again.
