Hearing that Li Gang said that he would send Wu Jie to lead the Shaanxi Road to the Western Xia, Zhao Gou thought about it and felt that now was a good time. Now Qu Ping has no news, he can't wait blindly, he must seize the fleeting opportunity and attack with a sharp blade.

If Li Changzuo can't wait and acts alone, and in the end he falls short, won't both sides lose? Therefore, you can't take care of one or the other, you should make a decision immediately!

Zhao Gou nodded: "It seems that this is the only way." Yongguo Gong is not here, fortunately there is Aiqing, otherwise, the plan will be released? ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, as long as there is an opportunity, everyone can be competent to shoulder the burden." After Li Gang finished speaking, he found that Qu Ping had disappeared now, and said that this was a little out of place, adding, "The minister is old, and the position will naturally be young in the future." Yongguo Gongji is a heavenly helper, and he will definitely come back to continue to assist the emperor. ”

Zhao Gou's expression was gloomy, only thinking that Li Gang was comforting himself, and said: "One more order, order Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi to lead their troops to closely monitor the movements of the Jin Kingdom. In addition, Zhang Jun was ordered to train soldiers and horses in the rear, and he was on call at any time! ”

"Yes!"

In January of the fifth year of Jianyan, Li Cailian sent a secret report that the Western Xia earthquake was about to kick off, and Li Changzuo had contacted the old department to arrange for the old department to prepare for a coup d'état on the day when the Western Xia Emperor prayed for rain for the people on the second day of the second month of February, and asked the Song court to seize the opportunity to send troops to help.

Zhao Gou still doesn't have any news of Qu Ping, and Li Cailian, who controls the intelligence, also has no clues about Qu Ping.

Zhao Gou now has no choice but to order Wu Jue to lead his troops into Western Xia and join forces with Li Changzuoli, and at the same time see if he can get the news of Qu Ping in Western Xia.

I hope to kill two birds with one stone.

Wu Jie received the emperor's order, led 50,000 soldiers and horses as the main force, and ordered Wu Ting to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and went straight to Longzhou, the border city of Western Xia.

Wu Ting has always had the ambition of "why don't you hang Wu Hook as a young man and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures", this party received the military order, and he has the courage to "never return Loulan if he does not break it". He led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately killed Longzhou City.

Li Changzuo has been in Xiazhou for many years, Xia Long is next to each other, and some of the old generals in Longzhou have long been disgusted with the Western Xia Emperor's practice of going upstairs and dismantling the ladder, and it is difficult to have full loyalty to the imperial court.

General Sima of Longzhou was the deputy general of Longzhou City, and this night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. In the cold night, he peeked at the sleeping lady, quietly struggled to get up, put on a cloak haphazardly, and gently pushed the door out.

The cold wind swished into his collar, General Sima tightened his collar, looked up at the crooked moon, and said in his heart: Moon, you can understand my heart.

A thick, warm fur covered his back from behind, and General Sima didn't have to turn back, knowing that it must be his wife.

"Xianggong, what makes you so bored, coming out in the middle of the night without clothes to cool off?" Madame asked with concern.

General Sima turned around, stretched out his big hand and took the delicate lady into his coat together, and said, "It's still Mrs. Sweet." To tell the truth, now that the undercurrent of Western Xia is surging, I am afraid that something big will happen soon. ”

Mrs. Bingxue was smart and asked, "But it has something to do with the king of Xiazhou?" ”

After Li Changyou was deposed, he dared to call him the king of Xiazhou, but it was none other than his own people.

General Sima said: "Madame is really exquisite. I received the grace of the king of Xiazhou back then, so that I can have today and meet my wife. Now that my benefactor is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? The ancients had a cloud: the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. If I am blindly loyal to the emperor, wouldn't I be foolish! Where is that morality!? ”

"It is reasonable to say that the ancients still reciprocated each other, not to mention that the current emperor listens to traitors, and the politics and law are not clear, and the government and the opposition have long been scolded."

General Sima held his wife's hand: "Madam really understands things, and she is by no means comparable to ordinary women in the boudoir." I had a secret meeting with the king of Xiazhou, and he begged me with a thousand gold to help him if necessary, and now, the time has come! ”

Madame said, "Wrong. ”

General Sima was stunned, and secretly guarded in his heart, didn't Mrs. have the same heart as herself?

General Sima thought too much, and only listened to his wife continue: "The general is not helping the king of Xiazhou, but for the people of the world and supporting justice, it is incumbent on him!" ”

General Sima clapped his fists and said excitedly: "What Madame said is extremely true! It's freezing cold, I'll help my wife go back to rest. ”

Mrs. Sima was happy in her heart, and said secretly: "King Xiazhou, the slave family has already repaid you for the grace of the dew back then." ”

This Mrs. Sima is an old man from Li Changzuo, and she has always thought of Li Changzuo's goodness in her heart. Now that she has the opportunity to repay her kindness again, she will definitely help her husband.

General Sima secretly had already set the words of General Huang, the chief general of Longzhou, and knew that he was determined to obey the emperor's orders, so he set up a banquet in Yichun Building the next night.

Longzhou then temporarily changed hands, and General Sima sat in the first seat.

The next day, Wu Ting rushed over, General Sima led the troops to battle, pretending to be invincible, and was about to retreat into the city, when suddenly someone in his city closed the city gate with a bang. No matter how General Sima called, the city gate just wouldn't open.

General Sima thought to himself, what was going on, it was different from the planned plan!

But now that the Song army is attacking strongly, if you beat yourself indiscriminately, you can't explain it clearly.

General Sima saw that the retreat route was broken, so he had to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to flee to Yinzhou.

Yinzhou is also a border pass, General Sima went all the way to the black, ready to find an opportunity to reverse Yinzhou, and when the time comes, Li Changzuo will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and it will be a sure thing for him to rise to the top.

The matter in Longzhou is not over yet.

Wu Ting easily defeated the Western Xia army, and the Great Song Dynasty army besieged Longzhou, and ordered the time for the three incense sticks in the city to open the door quickly, otherwise Longzhou would be bloodied.

In Longzhou City, the people are already in a hurry. 90 look

Now there are no soldiers and horses in the city, only the ten family soldiers who closed the city gate just now, or the family soldiers led by General Huang's son.

It was already clear that it was General Huang's son who closed the city gates.

But the people are used to being bullied by him on weekdays, and hundreds of thousands of people face more than a dozen family soldiers, but no one dares to come forward to question.

General Huang's son moved a stool, and Hang'erlang sat in the city gate, drinking a little wine, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, a female voice who was not afraid of power burst out: "The Song army is pressing, the people are in danger, Huang Gongzi is good, not only will the soldiers of our army who are fighting bravely kill the enemy outside be locked out, but also the people in the city will be sent to the Song army as turtles in the urn, could it be that Huang Gongzi has received great benefits from the enemy?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to watch, not knowing which woman it was.

The crowd let go of a path and let the woman approach the city gate to confront Huang Gongzi.

The woman walked towards Huang Gongzi, who was at the city gate, and saluted everyone: "The slave family is the clumsy Jing of General Sima who led the army to kill the enemy just now, and for the safety of the people in the city, I specially say a fair word. ”

The people nodded one after another, General Sima was brave and good at fighting, and his wife was so polite, and she was not afraid of power, and dared to uphold justice for the people, what a saint.

Huang Gongzi looked at Mrs. Sima obscenely, took a sip of wine, and said, "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be an accomplice to my father's murder!" ”

Mrs. Sima was not afraid at all: "Fake can't be real, really can't be fake, General Huang accidentally stumbled, that's the human and physical evidence!" Besides, my father-in-law has always admired General Huang, how could he harm him? At present, how can the three great enemies cause trouble? ”

Huang Gongzi said disdainfully: "You can quibble, you have more mouths than me, I can't talk about you." Whatever you say, your father-in-law killed my father, and I will let you be buried with you! ”

"This is the reason why you closed the city gates, left tens of thousands of officers and soldiers with no way out, and disregarded the lives and deaths of the people in the city?" Mrs. Sima seized the loophole and attacked sharply.

Huang Gongzi's face changed slightly, why did he say the wrong thing in a hurry.

He said, "You are talking nonsense! ”

In the crowd, a young man from the Blood Qi Plan shouted: "At the moment of the great enemy, you are pretending to be a public servant, closing the city gate without permission, forcing away the guards, and still bullying the weak here, announcing personal vendettas, are you and our people all dead?" ”

Someone started, and the people followed the commotion, and one by one began to have the courage to accuse Huang Gongzi.

"Yes!"

"Open the gates!"

"There are so many of us, we can't be forced to death by a dozen of him!"

As soon as the people agitated, they suddenly ignited a powder keg, which exploded in an instant, accusing Huang Gongzi of not, and even worse, shouting "Kill him!" slogan.

Huang Gongzi saw that the momentum was not right, so he beckoned the soldiers behind him to dance knives and guns to scare the people.

The people have long had deep grievances, and taking the weapons of the family soldiers is a severe beating, making the other party cry and cry for their mother, and hug their heads and run away.

Huang Gongzi's heart was gone, and he took advantage of the chaos to leave, but he was stumbled and fell to the ground.

The man grabbed the embarrassed Huang Gongzi, held it high, and shouted, "The culprit is here!" ”

After speaking, he threw Huang Gongzi into the crowd heavily.

Poor Huang Gongzi was beaten violently, and when he was turned over again, he had no breath at all.

Madame Sima was embraced at the forefront, as if she had become the last hope of the city.

She said: "Folks, fighting, that's the people in charge of the chess game, you just come and go, we ordinary people, how can we have the ability to compete with them, we just take care of our wives and children, then this life is not in vain." At this time, being alive is more important than anything else. I propose, open the city gates and welcome the Song army! The Central Plains has always paid attention to the rule of benevolence and righteousness, and it will definitely open up to us ordinary people. ”

The people hesitated for a moment and nodded one after another: "Open the city gates!" ”

Everyone opened the city gate, and Mrs. Sima was elected as the speaker and went out of the city to meet the Song army.

Wu Ting easily won Longzhou, settled the hearts of the people, did not commit any offense to the original layout of the facilities, and treated the families of General Sima and others with great courtesy, which was deeply gratified by the people of Longzhou.

As soon as Longzhou is broken, it means that the Great Wall has been broken, and Wu Jue's army can enter Western Xia calmly.

At the same time, Li Changzuo didn't know what kind of mercy and benevolence he used, so that the Xiangyou military commander, who had 30,000 military horses, would be honest with him. Before the news reached Xingqing Mansion, he waved his troops west into the nest of Xiazhou, believing that the ending must be captured.

Behind him, there was still Zuo Shun Shenyong Army Division in the east, and Li Changzuo was not afraid of Huang Que behind at all, because General Sima led the army eastward and happened to intercept the enemy head-on.

Li Changzuo arrived in his hometown of Xiazhou, and within seven days, the soldiers and civilians of Xiazhou really had no intention of resisting Li Changzuo and successfully fell into the hands of Li Changzuo. Li Changzuo announced to the world that he was just a Qing monarch and a good man in the world.

At this time, Li Changzuo had gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiazhou, and while doing a good job in governing and reassuring the people, he sent a message to Wu Jue, and the two armies went straight to Beijing for a quick victory.

At the same time, Li Changzuo's old troops in Guazhou, Shazhou, also rebelled, occupied Suzhou to the east, and the troops approached Xuanhua Prefecture.

The news reached Xingqing Mansion in the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun did not expect the embattled to come so quickly, so he hurriedly issued an order to transfer troops and send generals to crusade against the traitor Li Changyou, and repaired a letter to send people to the Great Song Dynasty non-stop to say that the two countries were on good terms, and asked to withdraw the army. Secretly, Li Qianshun also quietly sent a careful person to the Jin Kingdom for help without telling everyone.
