In fact, everyone still underestimated Xia Zhu's consciousness. The next day, that is, the day of Gengyin in February.

Xia Zhu set out from Jingzhou, and took Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Yin Zhu, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and other ministers of civil and military affairs along the border from Jingzhou all the way west to inspect the border fortress.

first entered the Zhenrong army, and then, in front of the Zhenrong army, issued a strict commandment: From now on, not a single soldier shall leave the country!

Xia Zhu even openly threatened Yingwu, the capital of the Zhenrong army: If the Zhenrong army dares to send troops privately, even if it is meritorious, I will kill you first, and then ask Your Majesty for guilt.

Xia Zhu has been on the border since the first year of Baoyuan.

Both in the military and at the local level, prestige has been established and popularity has been established.

Naturally, the credibility is also very high.

Therefore, Yingwu was so frightened that he promised on the spot: If a pawn of the Zhenrong army left the country, there was no need to behead the head of the lower official, the lower official first cut off those who left the country without permission, and then sent the head of the lower official to the case to apologize.

Then, Xia Zhu rushed to the security army with this mighty border inspection team and repeated the actions of the Zhenrong army.

Here, Xia Zhu ordered Pang Ji to personally sit in charge of the security army and preside over the complete blockade and ban on Yuan Hao's trade.

In order to ensure efficiency, Xia Zhu asked Pang Ji, an old subordinate, to give him a military order: make a horse westward and ask for resignation!

In this way, it took seven days for Xia Zhu to go through the entire Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, Qiyan Road, Qinfeng Road, the main stoppers and the cities and military counties that control the traffic arteries.

The order from the court and Xia Zhu's own unswerving determination to carry out the forgiveness of the Zhongshu were conveyed to the generals, capital eunuchs, commanders, and rulers along the four roads along the border.

The effect, of course, is immediate.

Starting from Gengyin Day, the Great Song Dynasty has four roads along the border, and the whole has shrunk backwards.

While shrinking, the retreating soldiers and civilians did not forget to put on a fire and burn the grass that had just grown new shoots along with last year's dead grass.

He also set fire to many of the villages that had been built for the attack.

This is also Xia Zhu's order!

He was worried that some stunned young people in some places, for the sake of merit and regardless of the overall situation, learned from Han Qi who commanded Ren Fu to sneak attack White Leopard City last year, wanting to become famous in one battle.

Simply, this strategy simply burned down all the offensive strongholds that might be in the way.

Anyway, the Jing Wei appeasement envoy, who has already proclaimed himself a loyal minister of Shouguo and swore to repay the 'knowledge' and 'appreciation' of the Guogong, has completely driven out all the words related to attack, seizure, and attack from his mind.

Xia Zhu now has only one thing in his mind - the wall is clear, so that the thief will not have the slightest opportunity!

To translate it simply, its general strategy is: I'd rather suffer a loss than let Yuan Hao have the slightest opportunity to take advantage of!

From there, along the four sides of the road, smoke and dust rolled.

The fire burned from Gengyin Day to Yiwei Day (16), and it did not stop.

Thankfully, it's early spring, the earth is back at wave, and the river is starting to rise.

During the dry summer and autumn seasons, these fires may spread to Yokoyama.

Even so, an organized and disciplined arson act on such a scale frightened the Qiang tribe who nestled in Hengshan and planned not to get involved in the dispute between the Great Song and Yuan Hao.

"What does Da Song want?" Many Qiang leaders muttered one by one when they looked at the smoke billowing in the distance.

However, how could they have thought that just a few days ago, the Great Song Dynasty, who had sent someone to contact them and planned to invite them to attack Yuan Hao together, would completely abandon all the plans planned before in just a few days and make a 180-degree turn.

Completely changed from an offensive posture to a defensive posture.

Moreover, he completely abandoned the idea of attacking, and only thought about digging deep trenches, accumulating grain, and defending according to danger, not moving like a mountain!

Don't talk about them.

Yuan Hao on Liupan Mountain couldn't have imagined that there would be such a divine turn.

With an army of almost 200,000, he drank the north wind for six or seven days and ate a pile of dirt in this Liupan Mountain.

The army under Yuan Hao is already a floating army.

What's even more troublesome is that the military rations seem to be a little unbearable.

This made Yuan Hao very anxious, and kept grabbing the top of his head, although there was nothing left on his head, bare, if it weren't for the hair on both sides, I am afraid that people would think that he was a monk.

At this time, the tent door was pushed open, and a scribe hurriedly came to Yuan Hao and bowed: "I just received a report ......from the scout, Song people...... Retreated ......"

"What?" Yuan Hao was dumbfounded, his face was incredible.

In his opinion, this is impossible.

Because, he has dealt with the generals and ministers along the border of the Song people all his life.

From Fan Yong, Xia Shouyun, and Liu Ping in the past, to Xia Zhu, Han Qi, and Fan Zhongyan now.

Yuan Hao knows the temper and character of these Song people more clearly than his wife's body, and he knows with his eyes closed that these Song people think very highly of themselves, and they have always been full of contempt and disdain for him and his Great Xia Kingdom.

There are few people who want to look at him and his country squarely, let alone study it with a deep heart.

Therefore, he can win every battle, and he can go from one victory to another.

As a result, he was able to use the land of the five states to dare to stand on his own and establish a grammar system.

"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Hao forced the scribe in front of him to ask: "Zhang Yuan, didn't you promise that the Song people would definitely win the scheme?" ”

The scribe named Zhang Yuan could only bow his head, not daring to defend at all, let alone speak back, because all the people who had spoken back to the vultures in front of him were dead, and their bones were rotten.

"Wushu...... A literati who had been by Yuan Hao's side suddenly spoke: "Why don't we withdraw to Xingqing Mansion first, and then make a long-term plan?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hao immediately turned around, glared at the man, and roared, "Withdraw? 200,000 troops, just retreat to Xingqing Mansion? ”

"Impossible!"

Yuan Hao has always been arrogant, presumptuous and super confident.

Thinking that back then, he had just taken over the position of his father Li Deming, and his butt was not hot, so he dared to send a question to the official family of the Great Song Dynasty: Why do you use the name of Mingdao? I don't know my father's name is Li Deming? You Song people don't even know how to avoid it? Well?

How could the Great Song Dynasty bird such a small vulgar chieftain as him?

If it weren't for the prestige of his father and ancestor, at that time, the Great Song Dynasty would probably have sent a large army to kill him at the door.

Yuan Hao's arrogance doesn't stop there.

Back then, after doing the thing that caused an uproar in the world, Yuan Hao had a whim and shaved off his original Central Plains hairstyle.

Becoming like this, the top of his head is bare, just like a monk in the Central Plains, he almost has no scars, and the hair around him has been retained, and he has pierced his ears and put on a pair of heavy earrings.

Yuan Hao called this 'ancestral law'!

What ancestors?

Xianbei ancestor!

From that day on, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, who had been in the past to settle the difficult army, was determined to say goodbye to the submission and obedience of him and his ancestors to the Han people for a hundred years.

Not only that, Yuan Hao didn't just shave his hair and wear earrings.

He also ordered all the party members to follow him to shave their hair and change clothes!

Whoever doesn't listen, kills the whole family!

The real head without hair, hair without hair!

For this reason, he cut down at least several thousand party members alone, and many of them were the right-hand men and old troops of his father Li Deming and his grandfather Li Jiqian.

It's because these people actually dislike that his ancestors are too ugly!

It's just presumptuous!

So, all have to die!

Yuan Hao, who has such a character, where will he easily give up his ideas?

For Yuan Hao, he has always been the kind of person who will never change as long as he makes up his mind, even if he is broken.

Not to mention, in order to mobilize the 200,000 troops this time, Yuan Hao even forcibly requisitioned the old people in the party clans, and many tribes, the livestock that were supposed to be used for livelihood were also robbed by him.

This is not a heavy army group that has eaten the Song people, so they will return to Xingqing Mansion empty-handed.

What to do this year?

Do all the party members drink the northwest wind?

So, how could Yuan Hao withdraw his troops because of a scout's report?

"Send someone to investigate!" Yuan Hao pointed to the two literati in front of him and reprimanded: "Go immediately!" Find out what the Song people are doing! ”
