Yanzhou City, which is thousands of miles away from Tokyo City, is in a state of extreme panic, and the 50,000 troops led by Li Shibin can't fight, but the scourge of the common people is a top ten, and the captain of the Great Song Dynasty who defended the city can't see it, so he tied a few to Fan Yong to punish him.

But Fan Yong didn't dare to make a move, after all, the 50,000 Fan army can also add a little confidence to the defense of Yanzhou City, and now the most worrying thing is that Li Shibin led his Fan army to join Li Deming, after all, the two are still somewhat related by blood, and Li Shibin can even call Li Deming his cousin.

Fan Yong knew that defending the city without fighting was at most a reputation for being cowardly, and if the Fan army under his rule defected to the party, then he would never want to gain a foothold in the court, so Fan Yong could only turn a blind eye to what the Fan army did in the city, and at most send someone to Li Shibin to say hello, so that the Fan army would not do too obviously.

Now the people in the city are miserable, what kind of army is this that defected to the Great Song Dynasty, it is simply a bandit and a bandit, no! It's not even as good as bandits!

The bandits and rogues also know that they should pay attention to a way for the people to live, otherwise they will not be able to grab things next time, and these Tibetan troops are good, completely ignoring the lives of the people.

The people in the city dared not speak out, and even the party members outside the city were wondering about the slack defense of Yanzhou City.

But fortunately, the captain who defended the city sent people to cut down the surrounding trees before the party came, so the speed of the party people to make siege equipment was very slow, and the city wall of Yanzhou City was built with rammed earth and wrapped with square bricks, which was very strong.

Fan Yong is not completely stupid, but he knows Li Deming's intentions, which is the only good thing for Yanzhou City, because once Li Deming attacks Yanzhou City, the Great Song Dynasty will not give him another chance, nor will he recognize the statehood of Western Xia.

Only besieging but not attacking is the best, but the world is unpredictable, Fan Yong is afraid of Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao, this son is extraordinary, and strongly opposes his father Li Deming's plan, the young Li Yuanhao opposes his father and Song Lianliao's strategy, thinking that opening up territory to the Western Regions is the best way, and when the national strength of Western Xia is strong, even if the Great Song Dynasty does not want to recognize the status of Western Xia, it is not good.

To be honest, Fan Yong felt that Li Deming's son had more vision than him, but what Fan Yong never expected was that this Li Yuanhao was more intelligent and strategic than his father, and the strategy of leading the siege of Yanzhou City this time was thought up by Li Yuanhao, and even sent someone to say that as long as the Great Song Dynasty did not recognize the status of the Western Xia State one day, the party members would not stop attacking.

Compared with Li Deming's conservative tactics, Li Yuanhao is more advocating active attack, besieging Yanzhou City is to put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, and the capture of Yanzhou City is also putting pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, if you still don't recognize the status of Western Xia, then attack all the way to the south, anyway, if Yanzhou City is taken, it will open the door to Shaanxi, and the rich land and the Daimyo Mansion are under the iron hooves of the Dang Xiang people, and the Song people will beg for mercy sooner or later.

In Li Yuanhao's heart, what stubborn dignity can a country that pays tribute even to win wars?

The battle of Tanyuan was obviously won by the Great Song Dynasty, but it paid tribute every year, not only that, but also commensurate with the Liao State to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so since the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitans could work, why couldn't the Western Xia established by the Dangxiang people?

Li Yuanhao strode into his father's tent, opened the curtain and walked in, knelt down on a tiger skin carpet and said: "Daddy, the army has besieged Yanzhou City for half a month, if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent reinforcements, he would have come a long time ago, let's attack the city!" ”

"Ahh What do you think we're here for? ”

Li Deming did not answer his son's question, but took out the dagger on Yuan Hao's waist to look at it and asked him rhetorically.

"Of course, it is to let the Great Song Dynasty recognize my national worship of Western Xia! Daddy said that without the founding of the party, we can't really unite, and we can't give full play to all the strength of the party! ”

"Haha! Well said! Since we have already besieged Yanzhou City, why should we let our sons and daughters attack the city with their lives? As long as Yanzhou is surrounded, the emperor of the Song people should know what our party wants......"

Li Yuanhao touched his head and said, "But the child heard that the emperor of the Song people is just a seventeen-year-old child, can he know Daddy's intentions?" It's better to take Yanzhou City directly, and after taking it, send an envoy to explain it to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Li Deming touched his son's head with relief: "Wei Li is really smart!" But you underestimate the people of the world, this official family of the Great Song Dynasty is not an ordinary child, to be precise, the emperor who can take the throne at the age of thirteen and pro-government is not an ordinary person! What is the famous saying of the Han people that my father often told you? ”

Li Yuanhao replied without thinking about it: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" ”

"Then do you know the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"This ......" Li Yuanhao's voice was stuck, he had heard some of Zhao Zhen's deeds, but when it came to understanding him, he really didn't know much detail.

"Wei Li, do you remember our Tuoba Clan's secret hall?"

Li Deming's words made Yuan Hao's eyes light up: "Remember, but the Great Elder always doesn't want me to go there!" ”

Li Deming shook his head, "It's not that I won't let you go, but I'm afraid that after you go, your heart will not be right and go on the trail, and now your age is not young, and your heart should be settled, and I will tell you as a father!" ”

Under Li Yuanhao's expectant gaze, Li Deming said in a heavy voice: "In order to survive, our party has lived in the northwest since the Tang Dynasty, and our ancestors have shed the last drop of blood for Li Tang's rivers and mountains.

In desperation, our party began to bow down in front of the Great Song in exchange for a short period of peace, but he Zhao Song is not Li Tang! Li Tang is kind to my party, and it is not an exaggeration to swear to the death, but he Zhao Song is a person in a yellow robe, how can he make my party bow down? ! ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanhao's eyes widened and he said unwillingly: "It's too much of a deception!" ”

Li Deming waved his hand weakly and said: "It's nothing, the situation is stronger than people, the prosperity of the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty is not something that my party can confront and a family can fight, but my party is not a cowardly and incompetent person, after the Western Regions are included in the land of the party, our party can also use its own strength to confront the Great Song Dynasty a little!"

And the secret hall is specially built for this, it is responsible for the collection and transmission of intelligence in the Great Song Dynasty, as far as my father knows, the most successful person in the secret hall is your aunt Tuoba Zhuoran, she is not only the virtuous concubine of Emperor Zhenzong, but also the woman of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, before she came to the news that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will give us the title of King Xiping!

Hey...... As long as you have the title of King of Xiping, is it still far from the Western Xia Kingdom? The most important thing is that he will not sacrifice the life of a party son, so his father did not order the siege of the city! ”

After Li Deming finished speaking, he found that his son was standing in place, chattering about his little aunt......

In Li Yuanhao's young memory, the little aunt was the woman he once vowed to marry, but then there was no trace, but he didn't expect to be sent to the Great Song Dynasty to be a secret spy because of the party......

Li Yuanhao left his father's handsome tent like a walking corpse, and walked towards his military tent in a daze, as if he felt that his heart was taken away by the goshawk on the Tianshan Mountain, not heartache but cold, until his father chased him and gave him a slap, and the strong burning on his cheeks dared to make his heart suddenly hurt so much.

Shaking off the guards' obstruction, Li Yuanhao frantically rushed into his military tent, put his head in the quilt of animal skin, shouted frantically, whimpered wildly, and sat on the ground panting until he was about to suffocate himself.

I don't know when there was one more person in the military tent, Li Yuanhao pounced on the old man aggrievedly: "Great Elder! ”

The old man's hair was gray, but he still compiled the hairstyle of the head of the party item, stretched out his hand and patted Yuan Hao's junior: "Wei Li, some things can never be lost again, and some seem to be in one place, but there is an insurmountable gap between them, Zhuo Ran She has married the party item, although she is in the Great Song Dynasty, but the heart will always only pretend to be the party item!" ”

Li Yuanhao suddenly raised his head and said, "If I defeat the Great Song Emperor, can I snatch Zhuo Ran back?!" ”

The Great Elder looked up to the sky and laughed: "It is worthy of my party's Xiang Erlang!" Yes! Absolutely! ”

Li Yuanhao's eyes were full of fire, which was the light of anger burning and the light of destruction......
