The envoy listened to Gao Zugong's words, and immediately rushed to Xiazhou City, and conveyed Gao Zugong's words to the city lord of Xiazhou City.

When the city lord of Xiazhou City heard that Kou Ji had been assassinated and died, he was first overjoyed.

Then came a great deal of horror.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Western Xia, and with the current strength of Western Xia, it is difficult to say whether they can hold it.

If Western Xia was destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, then where should he go?

For a while, the city lord of Xiazhou City was in a mess.

He didn't doubt the truth of Gao Zuo's words.

Because Gao Di Gong led a heavy army to be stationed outside the city, the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty understood where it was, and it was clear at a glance.

He knew a little about military affairs, so through the tents set up outside the city and the smoke rising from the cooking stove every day, he could judge that the soldiers and horses in the other side's military camp were 50,000, to say the least.

The other party led 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiazhou City once, and took the lives of the guards in Xiazhou City, as well as several generals of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia, and never attacked Xiazhou City again.

Should be a warning.

It is also possible that they are waiting for the arrival of the army and pushing Xiazhou City.

The city lord of Xiazhou City felt that the possibility of Xiazhou City holding it was extremely low.

As for going out of the city to fight, he didn't even think about it.

Not to mention that the number of the Song army was more than that of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia, just the unpredictable firearms in the hands of the Song army were enough to scare him out of the city.

The Song army was in Deshengchuan, relying on the advantage of firearms, and overturned the 150,000 elite soldiers of Huangtou Hui.

The Song army was in Quyechuan, relying on the advantage of firearms, and overthrew 100,000 elite soldiers of the Liao State.

Both firearms intervened in the war, and both achieved great results.

Firearms have the potential to turn the tide of war.

What he can do now is to defend Xiazhou City.

The city lord of Xiazhou City pondered for a day.

sent someone out of the city secretly and sent the news of Kou Ji's assassination back to Xingqing Mansion.

At the same time, a group of men were sent out of the city again to ask for help from the Jianing Military Division.

Gao Ji Gong was outside Xiazhou City, and made a posture of encirclement but not attack.

Suddenly, the two sides fell into an eerie peace.

And so it went on for three days.

A shocking news reached the ears of Gao Zuo Gong and the city lord of Xiazhou City.

"The soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division encountered an ambush by General Liu at the three forks, and they killed 5,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, and some people took advantage of the chaos to escape. Now General Liu is leading the soldiers and horses, escorting the captives, to Xiazhou City. ”

The soldiers who gave the order quickly told Liu Heng of the results of the battle to Gao Chugong.

After Gao Di Gong heard the news, he laughed: "From now on, the territory of Western Xia south of Baichi City will belong to my Great Song Dynasty, hahaha......"

After smiling at Gao Zhigong, he summoned the envoy and said to the envoy: "You go, tell the city lord of Xiazhou City, just say that the other vanguard soldiers and horses I sent to the official family have taken down the Jianing Military Division, and the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division have been completely annihilated, and all the people in the place where the Jianing Military Division is stationed have been slaughtered."

The officials who came to supervise the battle have already urged me to take Xiazhou City as soon as possible.

I am merciful, I don't want to see innocent people die tragically, give him another three days, within three days, if he does not surrender, I can only lead the army to storm Xiazhou City.

At that time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it is indispensable to have a carnival in Xiazhou City. ”

Gao Chu Gong knew in his heart that the city lord of Xiazhou City was cowering in the city, and the speed of getting the news was not as fast as him, so he could boast as much as he could.

Gao Zu Gong didn't know at all, his words completely talked about the sore spot of the city lord of Xiazhou City.

The city lord of Xiazhou City has a little conscience.

Therefore, when Xiazhou City was in danger, he did not give up the people and escape, but used his insignificant tactics to support the defense of Xiazhou City.

He is not for those Western Xia soldiers and horses, but for the people living in Xiazhou City.

The high place Gong said that he had slaughtered the people, and the arsonist carnival threatened him, and he had a trace of wavering in his heart.

When he secretly sent people to investigate the news of the Jianing Military Division, and learned that the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division were ambushed and annihilated, his heart was extremely cold.

And the men he sent out not only brought back the news of the annihilation of the Jianing Military Division, but also brought back the news of the capture of Baichi City.

His heart was even colder.

If the generals of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia were still alive, at this time, they would definitely have the intention of retiring.

Exit Xiazhou City, pass through Dijinze, return to Xingqing Mansion, and preserve your strength.

But he is not a martial artist, and he has no intention of preserving the strength of soldiers and horses.

He cares more about the people in Xiazhou City.

If he took people away, killed the killers from a high place, and slaughtered the people of Xiazhou City, then he would not be at ease when he died.

Ultimately.

When Liu Heng led the soldiers and horses and appeared outside the city of Xiazhou.

The city lord of Xiazhou City succumbed.

He gave up the idea of breaking through and escaping, and chose to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, just to keep the people of Xiazhou City.

When the city lord of Xiazhou City sent someone to open the city gate and led the people of the Divine Warrior Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia to surrender to the high place.

Liu Heng had just come off his horse.

Liu Heng looked at the soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City who were holding white flags and standing together to ask for surrender, and then looked at the high place standing beside him with a spring breeze on his face.

"What do you mean?"

Gao Jun raised his head proudly and said lightly: "Fighting a war relies on wisdom." Those who surrender without a fight are generals. You led tens of thousands of people to ambush the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division at the three forks, and lost thousands of people before the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division were defeated.

And the old man, who only lost a few hundred soldiers and horses, made the people of the Western Xia Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division in Xiazhou City succumb.

Isn't it clear who is high and who is low? ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he glanced at Gao Di Gong twice, and said suspiciously: "In terms of leading troops to fight, I am not as good as you." Shouldn't you have achieved greater results than I did? ”

Gao Di Gong's eyes widened in astonishment, staring at Liu Heng, opening his mouth several times, but he didn't say a word.

He finally had the opportunity to scold in front of Liu Heng, but he didn't expect Liu Heng to answer like this.

For a moment, there was nothing in his heart.

Liu Heng didn't care about Gao Chugong's face, he looked at the people outside Xiazhou City who asked for surrender, and muttered: "Since the people of Xiazhou City have surrendered, then we don't have to go to great lengths to arrange them."

We cleaned up Xiazhou as soon as possible, and then divided our troops to go out and clear the rest of the city south of Baichi City.

After taking all the south of Baichi City, he led his army to Baichi City and waited for the results of Wang Kai's department, Zhu Neng's department, and Chong Shiheng's department. ”

So far, although there are soldiers and horses from Western Xia stationed in the places where Liu Heng and others attacked, there are not many of them, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

Most of the real elite soldiers of Western Xia were entrenched in Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion for a generation, guarding the palace of Western Xia.

Kou Ji wants to attack Western Xia, and the real fierce battle will probably come when the troops will come to Huaizhou and other places.

Don't look at Liu Heng and the others who are now aggressive.

But in fact, it's just a small fight.

When it came to Huaizhou and Xingqingfu, it was the battlefield of the war.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are torn apart together, and human brains can be beaten into pig brains.

Gao nodded slowly.

Kou Ji's purpose of such an arrangement, he probably saw a few points.

Although Ko Ji will not lead troops to fight, he does have a set of layouts.

Liu Heng, Wang Kai, Zhu Neng, and Chong Shiheng led their armies to attack Western Xia from all over Western Xia, and finally they will join forces in Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion for a generation.

Western Xia has suffered heavy losses, and there are not many elite soldiers and horses in their hands.

When wars broke out everywhere in Western Xia, Li Deming did not dare to send elite soldiers and horses.

It is necessary to stick to the Xingqing Mansion generation.

Because once he sends his soldiers and horses out, it is very likely that he will be restrained.

The Great Song Dynasty sent heavy troops all the time, and they could kill from the Great Wall south of Xingqing Mansion, and they could completely smash Huanglong.

It must be known that when the Great Song Dynasty fought against the Western Xia, it had already occupied the first line of the Great Wall south of Xingqing Mansion in the Western Xia.

Now the border of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia is a nail-shaped, and the tip of the nail points directly to the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia.

Therefore, Li Deming did not dare to give up the defense of Xingqing Mansion, and could only watch the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty conquer cities and territories in various parts of Western Xia.

Kou Ji dared to send Zhu Neng, Liu Heng and others to attack Western Xia from different places, just to see this.

Li Deming can only wait for the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty to join forces with Xingqing Mansion and Huaizhou to set off a decisive battle.

At that time, if the Western Xia wins, the Western Xia will have a chance to survive, and if the Western Xia is defeated, it may be destroyed.

"Xiazhou City was surrendered by you, you go and surrender!"

Liu Heng said respectfully to the heights.

Gao Jun raised his head proudly, "That's ...... nature"

Gao Chu Gong led a team of people to rush to the outside of Xiazhou City and accepted the surrender of the city lord of Xiazhou City.

At the time of surrender, the city lord of Xiazhou City specially told Gao Chu Gong that Gao Chu Gong must protect the people in Xiazhou City.

Gao Gong agreed.

The soldiers and horses of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia stationed in Xiazhou City were disarmed and escorted to the prisoner camp by Gao Di Gong.

After the city lord of Xiazhou City and the soldiers and horses of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia surrendered, Gong Xun finally did not need to hide it, and happily exposed his reality to the city lord of Xiazhou City.

The city lord of Xiazhou City knew that he had been tricked when he saw that Gao Chu Gong had only led five thousand men and horses.

He was secretly scolding Gao Zhigong in his heart, but his face was silent.

Gao Zugong seemed to know that he must have something in his heart, so he specially called him to his tent and said with a smile: "Are you a little remorseful, thinking that I am cheating on you?" ”

The city lord of Xiazhou City did not speak.

Gao Ji Gong continued to laugh: "It's true that I lied to you, but I'm also for your good." Do you think that if I tell you the details of our army, you will have the power to return to heaven?

It was fake that I led the army to attack Xiazhou City, and it was true that I secretly ambushed the reinforcements that came from Jianing.

The soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division were ambushed, and Xiazhou City was not to be afraid.

As you already know, White Pond City has been breached.

Even if you know what I am doing, and even if you defeat me, you will not be able to change the tide of the war.

The end result was an escape from Dijinze.

However, when we divided our troops to ambush the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army, we had already sent people to Baichi City to give orders.

The soldiers and horses who rushed to Baichi City will definitely rush to Dijinze to set up an ambush after taking Baichi City.

Even if you lead the people of the Divine Brave Military Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia to escape, you will eventually fall into the palm of our hands, and the end will probably be no different from that of the people of the Jianing Military Division.

Therefore, you have made the wisest choice to surrender to my Da Song. ”

After listening to Gao Chugong's words, the city lord of Xiazhou City felt a little better in his heart.

Gao Chugong continued to laugh and said: "The reason why I tell you so much is because I see that you have a benevolent heart and think about the people of Xiazhou City. But any official who has the people in his heart will not be too bad.

I want to recruit you to come with me, will you agree?" ”

Gao Chu Gong felt that the city lord of Xiazhou City was a talent.

He looked weak and weak, and in Western Xia, a place that advocated bravery, it was impossible to have the opportunity to lead troops.

But at a critical time, he was able to stand up and stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and horses of the Divine Warrior Army in the left wing of Western Xia with the body of a civil official, which is enough to prove that he is extraordinary.

What's more, he gave up the opportunity to escape for the sake of the people of the city.

It shows that he has some persistence in his heart and a bottom line.

Even if he is bad, he is not bad.

Gao Chugong was now in the lecture hall, bullied everywhere by the people sent by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, and he felt that it was necessary for him to prepare one or two manpower for himself.

He recruited one or two people, and Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji should not refuse.

If it recruits too much and shakes Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's status in the hearts of the students of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, then Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji will definitely kill him without hesitation.

He even has the bottom line of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, so he is ready to enrich his strength within a reasonable range.

After listening to Gao Zhigong's words, the city lord of Xiazhou City slowly shook his head.

"I have the merit of surrendering, even if the Great Song Dynasty will not reuse me, it will give me a county and a state to govern. I like to deal with the people, not the soldiers.

So I can only thank the general for his kindness. ”

After a pause, the city lord of Xiazhou City added, "As soon as I was frightened by you, I took the initiative to surrender, which shows that my ability to lead the troops is not very good." If you lead the troops to fight, you will only lose people's lives. It's better for me to continue to govern the place, I just want to see the people under my rule live and work in peace and contentment. ”

The expression on Gao Chugong's face was a little stiff, "Now that you are in my camp, if you refuse my kindness, are you not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

The city lord of Xiazhou City glanced at Gao Di Gong and said with a strange expression: "Do you dare?" ”

A look of anger appeared on Gao Zuo Gong's face.

The city lord of Xiazhou City chattered: "When I was in the Great Song Dynasty before, I was also a well-known scholar, and I also won the meritorious examination. It's just that the luck is not good, I met the death of my mother, and I kept filial piety at home for three years, and it happened that the Xixia people went south and plundered me to the Western Xia.

Most of the rural neighbors in the countryside were plundered to Western Xia.

In order to prevent them from living a hard life under the rule of the Tanguts, I can only go out in the Tangut and help the Tanguts.

When I was in Xingqing Mansion, I had a little credit and was transferred to Xiazhou City.

Although I haven't been back to Da Song for a long time, I still understand some of the rules of Da Song.

I have the merit of surrendering to sincerity, and I belong to Wenchen.

You can't do anything with me.

You have to report it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Gao Di frowned, and asked, "You used to be a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

The city lord of Xiazhou City sighed and said: "In the territory of Western Xia, the officials of the herdsmen of the Ten Hundred Jiǔ are all Song people. Some took the initiative to take refuge in Western Xia, some fled to Western Xia after committing crimes, and some were looted by Western Xia. ”

Gao Zugong frowned and said, "I know about this...... Since you are a Song person, why are you willing to do things for Western Xia? ”

The city lord of Xiazhou City sighed faintly, "The knife is on our neck, can we refuse?" Do you think I'm a city lord and mighty? Although I am the city lord of Xiazhou City, I have to listen to the orders of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia.

The generals of the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia are all Western Xia people. ”
