Cao Wei looked at Lu Yijian in amazement, with a questioning expression.

Lu Yijian pointed in the direction of Bianjing City, and said with emotion: "Protected by the true dragon, omnipotent, and pervasive, isn't it the gods and Buddhas of the heavens?" ”

Cao Wei smacked his lips and said, "I can't envy it." ”

Lu Yijian glared, "Who envies him!" When he saw me, he had to behave properly! ”

Cao Wei smiled: "In another ten years, you can see who gives gifts to whom." ”

Lu Yijian's face turned black all of a sudden.

In another ten years, he, Lu Yijian, will inevitably leave the center.

Even if he has the ability and energy to continue to serve as the subordinate of Tongzhongshu, he has to find a way to move his position.

If you occupy that place for a long time and do not make room for others, you will be impeached.

The four words of greed for power will be firmly buckled on his head.

Tongzhongshu under the door of the Ping Zhang, the governor of the political affairs, the two positions, in the court is a feng shui wheel transposition.

You can't be occupied, you have to sit in turns.

If you hold on to it, you will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others.

You must know that the people who can remember the position of the Tongzhongshu Sect are all important ministers of the DPRK who have status, status, and qualifications, and have a large number of protégés, including the two governors who are in the center and want to go further.

If they join hands against you, you will receive it.

Lu Yijian was silent with a dark face, Cao Wei chuckled, and instructed the pawn: "You go down, if I win this battle, you don't have to pass the news with your life."

When the time comes, we can send it openly, and the Liao people dare not stop it. ”

The pawn chuckled quietly, arched his hand, and exited the city gate.

Cao Wei is qualified to say this, but he is not qualified to accept it.

He is a servant of the official family, an eagle dog of the official family, and can only accept the words of the official family alone.

After the pawn withdrew from the city gate building, Cao Wei gave an order, and the soldiers who gave the order entered the city gate building.

Cao Wei instructed: "Pass my military order, from now on, all soldiers and horses in the land of Yanyun are not allowed to go out without authorization, only defend and not attack, when to attack, I will pass on the general order again." ”

"......"

The soldiers who sent the order quickly passed Cao Wei's order to the ears of the Song army in the land of Yanyun.

After Cao Wei learned the truth about the abnormal behavior of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he responded to the attack of the Liao soldiers and was much calmer.

The Liao soldiers attacked Tongtai Pass for several days, but did not take Tongtai Pass.

After a few days of self-comfort, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu seemed to have changed a lot, and began to appear on the battlefield and command the Liao soldiers to fight.

During the battle under the command of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the Liao soldiers also heroically rushed to the head of Tongtai Pass, but were quickly repulsed.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu knew that Tongtaiguan was a hard bone, and there was no other way than to gnaw hard.

However, when he attacked Tongtai Pass, he quietly dispatched some soldiers and horses to Yanmen Pass.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent people to Ruzhou, Tanshan and other places to dispatch soldiers and horses to Yanmen Pass, but did not use the soldiers and horses in front of Tongtai Pass, so Cao Wei and others did not notice.

Just when Cao Wei and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu were stumbling.

Distant Xiazhou City.

Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Liu Heng, Chong Shiheng and others gathered together.

After more than a month of combing and governance, Xiazhou City and other places were completely controlled by the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen didn't have to worry about being assassinated in Xiazhou City or anything like that, so he led his soldiers and horses to Xiazhou City.

Zhao Zhen sat in the lobby of the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia, which had been renamed Xiazhou Zhizhou Yamen, and said solemnly: "The news from Yanyun's side, after learning that I led a heavy army to attack Western Xia, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really couldn't bear it and launched a fierce attack on Yanmen Pass.

Huanzhou, which was occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, changed hands twice and was captured back twice.

After I consulted with Kou Ji, I took out 50,000 troops from the soldiers and horses led by me and sent them to Yanmen Pass to help Yanmen Pass.

I believe that with the help of the soldiers and horses sent by me, Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang will definitely be able to hold Huanzhou.

Now, there are no variables in the war in the land of Yanyun, and Cao Wei has not asked me for help.

This shows that Cao Wei can cope with the war in the land of Yanyun.

The land of Yanyun is worry-free, so our war against Western Xia cannot be delayed any longer.

I sent people to recruit Li Deming.

Li Deming only agreed to pay tribute to my Great Song Dynasty, but did not agree to move the clan into Bianjing City to live.

This person insisted on not living in Bianjing, I am afraid that it was to stay in Western Xia and other places, and continue to covet the territory of my Great Song Dynasty.

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I have the responsibility to defend the land, and I will never allow such people who have different intentions towards my Great Song Dynasty to live in the world. ”

Zhao Zhen got up slowly and said loudly: "All the soldiers and horses in the northwest will go north immediately and destroy the Western Xia!" Those who capture Li Deming alive will be knighted as a first-class duke! Those who dedicate Li Deming's head will be knighted as a second-class duke!

The one who conquered the most Xixia cities was awarded the title of third-class duke!

The rest of the Hou Bozi men, I will not be stingy!

After the war, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!

If he can take Western Xia, on Chinese New Year's Eve, he will use the Western Xia royal palace as a palace and entertain the courtiers in it.

When the time comes, I will personally praise you!

If you can't take the Western Xia, I will prepare a prisoner car, please tie your hands, enter the prison car, and accompany me back to Bianjing City to be scolded! ”

Kou Ji, Liu Heng, Chong Shiheng and others got up and saluted together.

"If the ministers do not exterminate the Western Xia, they will not return to the court!"

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Kou Ji? ”

"The minister is here!"

"You give me an order and order the whole army to open up!"

"Whoa!"

After bowing, Kou Ji began to order.

There were only two people who received the order, Chong Shiheng and Liu Heng.

Because Zhu Neng, Wang Kai and others have now led the soldiers and horses into the Western Xia, and are starting to attack the city and plunder the land from the east and west sides of the Western Xia, and their subordinates are leading more than 100,000 horses, so it is impossible to leave the men and horses and rush to Xiazhou City to receive the order.

But the corresponding orders will still be delivered, and there will be heralds who will deliver the orders conveyed by Kou Ji to them as soon as possible.

Kou Ji replaced Zhao Zhen and ordered one by one.

The content of the order is roughly the same as what he told Zhao Zhen before.

Zhu Neng, Wang Kai, Liu Heng, Chong Shiheng, as well as Gao Chugong, Liu Qi, Guo Yi and others who secretly helped, led 450,000 horses and horses, along the three directions, to jointly attack Western Xia, and finally converged in Xingqing Mansion.

Koji himself led a part of his men and horses as a sweeper.

Zhao Zhen led the remaining men and horses as soldiers and horses to calm the people and govern the people.

The mission is clear.

The soldiers and horses led by each person have their own tasks.

Who's wrong, or who's wrong, can be seen at once.

Kou Ji after giving the order.

Chong Shiheng and Liu Heng saluted Kou Ji together, took the arrow and walked out of the hall.

Beyond the lobby is the school grounds.

On the school ground, 150,000 soldiers and horses towered.

After Chong Shiheng and Liu Heng arrived, they showed their arrows, and 150,000 soldiers and horses saluted together.

"Get out!"

With the order of the two, 150,000 soldiers and horses set off and left Xiazhou.

The reason why it was 150,000, not 200,000, was because the army of the Seed Family under the command of Chong Shiheng was already standing on the edge of their intended battlefield.

The reason why Chong Shiheng rushed to Xiazhou was because of the 150,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 soldiers and horses were under his command.

In addition, there are also some firearms sent by the equipment workshop in Ruian Town, outside Bianjing City, which need to be signed by Chong Shiheng in person.

The two led 150,000 soldiers and horses, and they would leave Xiazhou, pass through Yanzhou, and arrive in Lingzhou, clearing Qingtongxia, Shunzhou, Jingzhou and other places near Lingzhou, and preparing for the siege of Xingqing Mansion by a large army in the future.

After Chong Shiheng and Liu Heng left, Kou Ji did not stop in Xiazhou, he led his soldiers and horses, escorted firearms, passed Qiliping, An Qingze, Dahengshui, Ziheyi, bypassed half of Jinze, and rushed to the place where Wula Lotus Mountain was located.

Zhao Zhen led the remaining soldiers and horses and continued to stay in Xiazhou City.

Of all the soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses led by Ko Ji had the longest road to travel.

Wula Lotus Mountain, in the easternmost part of Western Xia, Kou Ji needs to go around a circular arc and travel thousands of miles to arrive.

The reason why Kou Ji led his soldiers and horses to Wula Lotus Mountain was to help Wang Kaibu clear the remnants and deliver firearms to them by the way.

The place where Wang Kai's troops attacked should be regarded as the place with the longest detour and the most difficult task among all the soldiers and horses this time.

The soldiers and horses allocated by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen to Wang Kai and Zhu Neng had already been on the road a month ago, and now they had arrived under the command of the two and began to help them fight.

Wang Kai led 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight for the first time, and Kou Ji was afraid that Wang Kai would have an accident, so he chose to follow behind Wang Kai's troops.

Just a few days after Kou Ji left Xiazhou City, someone sent the good news to Kou Ji.

Zhu Neng of Hexi, who had previously taken the Western Xia in the Madi Mountain, Heluo River and other places near Hexi, swept away all the Western Xia territory in the southwest of the Badain Jaran Desert, and after the soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrived, Zhu Neng's soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to attack the Western Xia territory of Shiyang River and other places, and rushed all the way to the side of the Nalin River to attack the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, which was sent by the Western Xia to garrison on the bank of the Nalin River.

Now the territory of the Western Xia of the Shiyanghe generation has been conquered by the soldiers and horses assigned by Zhu Neng.

Kou Ji walked all the way to Wula Lotus Mountain, and the more good news he get.

First of all, Zhu Neng conquered the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, followed by the news that Chong Shiheng broke the Qingtong Gorge, and then Wang Kai's troops conquered Wuyuan and forced the Western Xia Black Mountain Weifu Military Division.

When Kou Ji led his men to rush to the Lotus Mountain.

Zhu Nengbu had already led his army to the military division of Baimaqiang Town in Western Xia and occupied another piece of salt-producing land in Western Xia.

Chong Shiheng and Liu Heng successively took Jingzhou and Shunzhou, and stationed troops on the border of the two states, waiting for the other two troops to converge and attack Xingqing Mansion together.

It can be said that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty pressed the territory and attacked the city and plundered the land in the territory of Western Xia with the strongest attitude, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Western Xia did not have much power to fight back.

Of course, it's not that Western Xia is weak and vulnerable.

But in many places, Li Deming has taken the initiative to give up and give up to the Great Song Dynasty to occupy.

He withdrew most of the strong troops in Western Xia to Xingqing Mansion and Huaizhou, and prepared to fight the Great Song Dynasty to the death in Xingqing Mansion.

Without a place where strong soldiers are located, it is naturally not the opponent of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji left Xiazhou City from the time when the mountains were full of red leaves, and when the mountains were full of red leaves, he followed Wang Kai's footsteps and arrived at the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division.

It was only after Kou Ji arrived that he learned that Wang Kai left a small number of soldiers and horses to sit in the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and he led the remaining men and horses all the way south along the Yellow River to attack Hue Du.

Most of the elites of the Montenegrin Weifu Military Division were withdrawn by Li Deming, so when Wang Kai attacked the Montenegrin Weifu Military Division, he actually didn't spend much effort.

But Hue is different.

Hue Ferry is a military location.

It is the main road that must be passed through from the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division to the south of Xingqing Mansion.

Next to the ferry, there is a huge military fortress.

Even if Li Deming was dispatching strong troops from all over Western Xia, he would leave a part of his soldiers and horses in the military fortress at the ferry to deal with the Great Song Dynasty.

Because the terrain is favorable, the terrain can be used to hit more and less, and severely damage the Song army.

After Kou Ji helped the Great Song defenders sitting in the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro clear the remnants of the enemy, he left some people to wait for Zhao Zhen to send someone to manage the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and then rushed to Hue with the others.

Hue Ferry is sandwiched between two deserts, through which the Yellow River flows slowly.

The withered grass by the river is pitiful.

The wind raged wildly between the desert and the river.

The wind blows like a sharp knife on a man.

When Kou Ji arrived not far from Hue, it was not winter, but the snow was already falling.

There is a poem that says: The north wind sweeps the white grass and folds, and the snow flies in August.

This is not an exaggerated description, but a fact.

The further north you go, the sooner it gets cold, and the more you look north, the sooner the snow falls.

The strict three-month season does not apply here.

Under the blowing of the wind knife, the heavy snow penetrated into the collar of the person and into the cuffs of the person, making people feel cold all over the body.

Some soldiers' hands, feet, cheeks, and ears began to crack.

While leading the soldiers and horses to step up the march, Kou Ji also had to find ways to help them prevent freezing.

When Kou Ji was thirty miles away from Hue, there were more and more frostbites in the army, and he had to stop and stay in place to rest for the night to help the soldiers deal with frostbite.

Frostbite must be treated as soon as possible, and after the treatment is completed, there is only one way to go.

When Zhao Zhen first ascended the throne, Western Xia and Liao raised troops in winter, and Kou Ji was forced to rush to Baozhou to take the town.

In Baozhou Kouji, I have seen many soldiers who have had their limbs amputated because of frostbite.

The imperial doctor who accompanied the army sprayed Kou Ji's scolded dog blood at that time, and Kou Ji didn't dare to fight back.

Because he knew that when the soldiers had extensive frostbite and began to amputate their limbs in large numbers, it was the fault of the imperial court.

On the banks of the Yellow River.

The cold wind howls like a ghost.

The person who scraped was panicked.

Kou Ji didn't have the heart to deal with the ghostly howl.

After the soldiers fell asleep, he took the doctors with him, tent by tent, to check the frostbite of the soldiers.

Among the soldiers and horses led by Kou Ji, except for the Tiger Wing Army, the other soldiers and horses were all soldiers of the Xiang Army.

The soldiers of the Xiang Army have not received great favors from the imperial court, nor have they enjoyed any good treatment, and they all make people cry.

When he got frostbite, he didn't shout or speak.

One by one, they use their own local methods, or the local methods they hear from other people's mouths, to diagnose and treat themselves.

If everything is cured, if it is not cured, it can only be amputated.

Kou Ji had previously followed the imperial doctor to cut off the toe of a soldier whose toes were frozen and had no sensation, and the first thing the soldier revealed was not sadness.

It's cramped and uneasy.

It seems that he is worried that Koji will leave him behind because of this.

Kou Ji almost didn't die of shame at the time.
