The gate of Tucheng was closed, and on the head of the city, bows, arrows and spears were lined up, and the faces of the party soldiers were solemn.

At the head of Yinzhou City, a middle-aged man surrounded by the generals of the party was Li Guangyan, the defense envoy of Yinzhou.

Nowadays, the party is determined to be difficult to army, and it also follows the regulations of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the state is divided into historical states, regimental training states, defense states, and so on.

The defensive state has a second-class status, second only to the Jiedu Envoy State, and higher than the Tuanlian State and the Thorn History State.

In the Dingyan Army, Yinzhou is the most important state capital second only to Xiazhou, the state of the festival, with a large population, Han, Dangxiang and other mixed residences, farming, herds, in terms of geographical location, within the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, is the traditional land of the Central Plains.

Li Guangyan, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, is the nephew of Li Yiyin, the king of Xia, Li Guangyan's father Li Yijing, and Li Yiyin, the grandfathers of the two are brothers, that is, Li Yijing and Li Yiyin, who are grandfathers.

And Li Guangyan, the great-grandson is very famous, it is Li Yuanhao, the founding monarch of Western Xia.

Li Guangyan's son Li Jiqian, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, was the founder of the Western Xia Kingdom.

For Li Guangyan, Lu Ning naturally paid more attention to him, and asked the secret supervisor to inquire more.

His son did not have a name named Li Jiqian, naturally because Li Jiqian should have been born in the past two years, but his scope of influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the Dingyan Army is more directly affected by his own behavior.

It was Li Guangyan who happened to give birth to a son in the past two years, and he happened to be named Li Jiqian, but in fact, not to mention the acquired character and so on, it is an innate talent, and it is not Li Jiqian in history.

However, this Li Guangyan is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, but in history, in his era, there is no opportunity to show it.

He was one of the tribal leaders who most actively supported the party's entry into Hexi, and he was also one of the party leaders who resisted the rule of the Central Plains.

After hearing that the Emperor of the Central Plains arrived in Yan'an Mansion and Tuoba Mountain went to Yan'an Mansion to meet him, he immediately implemented a city ban, strictly investigated the business travel in the city, and once invited Tuoba Mountain to come to Yinzhou to discuss matters, Tuoba Mountain of course did not come, look at his current style, if he really comes to Yinzhou, whether he can keep his head is two words.

Standing at the head of the city, Li Guangyan listened coldly to the Tuoba Mountain under the city, "Brother Guangyan, the Emperor's holy decree has arrived in Liangzhou, withdraw the difficult army, set up Ningxia Road, Brother Guangyan, from now on, you are the deputy envoy of the Yinzhou regiment, and you have not opened the city gate to welcome the regimental training envoy to fold the royal honor and general?" Fish bag tag symbols, Fold General have brought. ”

After a pause, Tuoba Mountain shouted again: "There is also this Wen Yuan, who is the Xuanfu envoy of the four states, and is in charge of the military and political innovation of the four states!" ”

"I'm still saying that, who knows if you're true or not? I didn't see King Xia's edict, and my brother didn't dare to obey! Li Guangyan snorted coldly and was about to go down to the city.

Tuoba Mountain said angrily: "Li Guangyan, Zhe Shao Ling brought Bianjing to tell him, can he still be fake?" Let me ask you, is the Holy Son of Heaven honored, or is the King of Xia more expensive? ”

"If you don't obey your orders, you will be regarded as a rebellion, and the army of the Celestial Empire is coming in a blink of an eye, do you really dare to resist the Celestial Soldiers? Can you stop it? Brother Guang, my brother is for your good, don't let Yinzhou your clan's sons and daughters be martyred for you! ”

These words made Li Guangyan, who was about to go down the city tower, hesitate slightly and stopped.

After hesitating for a while, he slowly turned around and said, "Brother Shan, what are these words?" Shall I rebel? But whether it's a body or a fish talisman, I've never seen it, how do I know if it's true or not? Now that there is no edict from King Xia, he wants me to accept tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yinzhou City, Brother Shan can put himself in his shoes, if Brother Shan wants to rebel, the General Court of Wen and the Shaoling Order are impersonated, or coercion? As he spoke, Yao Yao clasped his fists at Lu Ning and Zhen Yuxun, "The two of them are not strange, they are just suspicious, not that the two Shangguan must be impersonating or plotting rebellion." ”

Tuoba Mountain was speechless by Li Guangyan's words for a while, and his ferocity came up, and he was about to scold when he stared at him.

Zhi Yuxun glanced at Lu Ning's expression, then understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, Deputy Li Tuanlian, I will wait outside the city for a few days, and the military horses of the Yan'an Brigade will arrive in a few days." ”

This Li Guangyan is reasonable, and it is impossible to blame him, but in fact, he must know that this matter is true, but it is to be delayed, and when the army of Qi really arrives, it will not be too late for him to open the city, and he will not be able to resist when the time comes.

But being able to delay for a few days naturally gave King Xia more time to think about countermeasures.

……

A few days later, the first batch of soldiers in the river went down the Wuding River to the city of Yinzhou.

Probably hundreds of soldiers, led by the battalion commander Cui Yanjin, arrived in Yinzhou by boat first.

This is a battalion of heavy armor, this kind of heavy armor based on plate armor, the Hezhong Army only allocated 500 bodies, and formed a battalion.

Li Guangyan still insisted that he was worried that the Qi army outside the city was plotting chaos.

On the second day, thousands of cavalry arrived at the city of Yinzhou.

Tuoba Mountain was also ruthless, shouting that if the infantry and siege equipment came by water after a few days, no matter whether Li Guangyan opened the city gate or not, he would forcibly attack the city.

Li Guangyan finally opened the city gate and pleaded guilty to the General Court of Literature and the Shaoling. schoolbag

Of course, Lu Ning understood that he had no choice but to do it, and once Li Yiyin made up his mind and called on all party departments to rebel, Li Guangyan would definitely be the first to stab him in the back.

However, I definitely won't give him this chance.

Therefore, Li Guangyan discovered that the Qi army did not rush to Xiazhou along the Wuding River to the west as he thought, but began to take over the city defense and many other affairs of the party and soldiers in Benzhou.

He also ordered 3,000 elite party soldiers in Benzhou to assemble outside the city, ready to follow the Wenzong Yuan to the west at any time.

He, the deputy envoy of the Yinzhou regiment, was to be left in Yinzhou.

And the Qi army arrived in Yinzhou one after another, camped outside the city, and was afraid that there were tens of thousands of horses.

After Lu Ning came to Yan'an Mansion, he came to descend from the mountain, and after a deep talk, he gradually felt that the situation was not as serious as he thought.

I am so jealous of the party because in history, the Western Xia Dynasty brought the shadow to the Northern Song Dynasty.

But now, the party members have never established a political power, and internally, they may be confused in the face of the high pressure of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In addition to Li Guangyan, an extreme hardliner, it was Li Yiyin, who asked him to make up his mind to call on the whole clan to rebel, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

In this hesitation, he gave himself the upper hand more and more.

Of course, it is better to prepare for the worst.

There were 30,000 troops in Yan'an, including 25,000 regular troops and 5,000 reserve soldiers.

The most elite First Army was transferred to Yinzhou.

Next, he went to receive Xiazhou and Youzhou.

In fact, once Xiazhou successfully takes over the defense, the biggest hidden danger is that Li Yiyin is self-reliant in Liangzhou, and the party members in Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and Youzhou in the Hetao will inevitably rebel.

What the Hezhong Army has to do is how to quickly quell the rebellion of the party members.

Because Lingzhou Yinchuan is in his own hands, as long as Lingzhou is not lost, the party members in the Hetao will basically be isolated.

The party headquarters in the Hexi area will inevitably attack Lingzhou, instead of bypassing Lingzhou to aid the tribesmen in the Hetao area.

Jing Hanru guards Lingzhou, he can be trusted, not to mention, there are also elite Western troops in Lanzhou echoing with him.

The worst situation is that Zhao Kuangyin can persuade and unite the Tubo tribes near Qingtang City to besiege Lanzhou.

But in any case, in the Hetao, what the Hezhong army is facing is not to conquer the city, but how to suppress the rebellion on the basis of protecting the local Qi people, whether it is to deter, kill, or pacify, so that the party departments in the Hetao can truly submit.

I don't have much experience in this area, so it's a new challenge.

After all, the party department is not the soil department in the south.

In addition to pondering the party's affairs, there was a secret supervisor from Hezhong Mansion to report quickly, and You Guiren disguised himself to Hezhong Mansion.

Of course, Hezhong Mansion is 800 miles away, and with You Yiyi's footsteps in a carriage, it will take more than ten days to come here.

Before she left from Bianjing, Concubine De heard that she had taken Yiyi to the Wenzong Mansion and led her into the dormitory, but she was interrupted by the northwest border affairs, Concubine De immediately came to look for herself, saying that she wanted Yiyi to accompany her with the army to go to the northwest, and said that Yiyi especially wanted to go to the northwest, and His Majesty also promised to take Yiyi to the northwest to see the vast desert, isn't it?

In fact, although he seems to have won a hundred battles, there is always danger in accompanying the army, major military affairs, and the concubines are even more distracted.

Concubine De is now inviting Yiyi to accompany the army, and after thinking about it herself, she didn't save her face, she agreed, and after she left, You Yiyi also left Beijing, but the journey was completely different.

Now, You Yiyi is in Hezhong Mansion.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ning wrote a letter asking You Yiyi to rest in Yan'an Mansion, after all, the states in this Hetao are like powder kegs, and rebellions will occur at any time.

He is even already thinking about whether to preemptively kill all the elite soldiers of Li Guangyan's department.

If you really lift the butcher knife first, the bloody side and the evil side of yourself don't want to be seen by that little girl.
