The sharp steel knife was still on Brother Cha's neck, and Wu Song, Niu Gao, Hua Rong and others led the remnants to rush to Xiao Tang one after another. Niu Gao was the first to rush over, and shouted excitedly: "If it weren't for my brother's high-level means, how could I wait for me to succeed?" Now that it's finally done, I don't have to be suppressed by the summer thief, and I am only scared of birds! ”

When Niu Gao looked at Brother Cha again, he glared at him and snorted coldly: "You, the Dirong Bird King, are rampant, but now they still fall into the hands of my brother!?" ”

Brother Cha saw that Niu Gao was a rough and reckless man, and he didn't care at all, but his eyes swept over Wu Song again, and then stopped at Hua Rong, who was handsome and handsome, and still carried an iron tire bow on his body, and suddenly said: "The one who shot the king's war horse with an arrow was this general?" De reported that the vanguard of our army had previously surrounded and intercepted a group of Song troops and thousands of Song people, but a jade-faced Song general rode a horse and a bow, and led the bow to fire continuously, which for a time made our ten thousand horsemen stunned and did not dare to move forward, and then in the fierce battle, the Song general drew more than a thousand arrows until the blood flowed to the elbow, but he shot countless sons and daughters of our army with his own strength, which was not much better than Wang Sunchen back then...... Song Jun that day, isn't it you? ”

Hua Rong snorted lightly, he squinted at Brother Cha and said, "Not bad! It's all done by me Hua Rong, I followed Brother Xiao Tang to fight in the north and south, and when we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will naturally teach you how to understand my magic arrows! ”

Brother Cha didn't care when he heard it, he nodded slowly, and walked towards Wu Song, who was also born with a broad chest and strong bones, and looked over, and muttered in his mouth: "This Xiao Tang has really gathered many capable generals who are willing to work for him......"

When Xiao Tang joined forces with Wu Song and others, and escorted Brother Cha to slowly walk out of the real way, no one dared to stop the Xia army around, and the people and horses were everywhere, and the front immediately gave way to a way. And Wu Jue, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and other generals also led the remnants of their own troops, and ordered the remaining soldiers and seriously wounded soldiers to retreat in the direction of the fortress. When Xiao Tang escorted Brother Cha to the city fortress no more than a hundred steps, two battalions of soldiers in the city immediately came out to greet him, and the cheers on the city fortress were thunderous, along with the cheers of the people in the city.

Some of the people in the city fortress laughed loudly, and some cried with joy, and it is said that most of these Song people and their families were unwilling to get involved in the tragic war, and these small people only wanted to be able to support the whole family and live peacefully with their wives, children, relatives, and relatives. But these days, they were almost slaughtered by the wolf-like soldiers of the Xia army, and they who had experienced the danger of life and death, at least now they finally don't have to worry about it anymore.

What's more, many of these Song people are not local villagers from the western border areas such as Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road. Unlike the old Xianggong Shidao who sat in the western army and was unwilling to rashly provoke a war, and then did-for-tat when the Xia army invaded, and waited for the opportunity to slow down, Tong Guan in order to be able to fully suppress the Xia State in the border court, has always strongly advocated the migration of the inland countryside to enrich the border defense, and only reported to the imperial court that it was the newly recruited people in the frontier, although the previous planting master was not used to Tong Guan's poor soldiers and dissuaded Zhao Ji in front of him, but there were still a large number of villagers who were forcibly changed their military registration and household registration by Tong Guan's means, and moved them to the western borderlandsAlthough these ordinary soldiers who do miscellaneous military services such as transporting grain and reclamation, building cities and welcoming and sending off, they are not separated from production in peacetime, and they are also responsible for building, transporting grain, or cooperating with the forbidden army to guard the border in the border areas, although the people who are still idle villagers and even more old and weak women and children still have to continue to live in this war-prone area, but at least now they can express the joy and happiness of the rest of their lives in different ways.

Xiao Tang rode into the fortress with a group of surviving soldiers, and around him were soldiers and ordinary people who seemed to want to bow to him. Another army rushed forward, and they glared angrily at Brother Cha, all of them wanted to attack.

After instructing his subordinates to temporarily detain Brother Cha, Xiao Tang looked at the back of the enemy commander he had captured. Whether it was to break the agreement, or to exchange him for the captured soldiers and people, in fact, Xiao Tang really had the intention of taking advantage of the difficulties and dangers to capture Brother Cha and kill this fierce enemy.

In terms of reason, the three armies are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, and there is such a general who is good at taking advantage of the situation and can fight well, if he does not take advantage of this golden opportunity to get rid of it, although Xiao Tang has saved many people, but in the future, I don't know how many Song soldiers and civilians will die under the sword and axe of the Xia army because of him.

Of course, the killing of the two armies can't talk about any gentleman's agreement and women's benevolence, even if Xiao Tang breaks the agreement, it will cause Kang Jiong, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, Li Yongqi and other captured soldiers to be buried, or just ignore their life or death, and escort this leader of the Xia State army to Bianjing to ask for merit, so that not only can it remove a henchman for the Song State, but also the king of Fan, who is in charge of the military and political power of the enemy country, will be able to make great achievements. I'm afraid that it is enough to teach Tong Guan, who has always been obsessed with fame, to be jealous. What's more, Xiao Tang still thought that he was acting on the two fronts of his officialdom and the green forest, and from an official point of view, he was trying to have the ability to change the increasingly erosive military and political affairs of the Song court, and to teach the Song army to have enough ability to resist the southward invasion of the Jin army's iron cavalry a few years later?

But after a battle between heaven and man in his heart, Xiao Tang still dispelled this idea.

Since joining the army, the soldiers who have sworn to serve in front of the tent will be grateful for his kindness, because they also know very well that their brother and his commander will fight with them in a bloody battle. Xiao Tang thought to himself that if he really ignored the lives of Kang Jiong, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, Li Yongqi and other soldiers, and exchanged their lives for his own fame, then it would inevitably make the hearts of the other generals cold, and the hearts of the brothers who shared the righteousness with him would immediately disperse. At that time, even his own henchmen and descendants will fall apart, how can he change the military and political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty and try to turn the tide when Jingkang changes?

And although Brother Cha has a strategic talent, he is a strong enemy who has the opportunity to kill him, so he must get rid of it as soon as possible, and the Song and Xia countries are also constantly killing, but in fact, at least in the next few years, neither Brother Cha nor the soldiers and horses of the Xia State will pose any threat to Xiao Tang or even the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the East Road Planter Dao and the Planter have led their troops to conquer the dangerous land of Hengshan Zhuzhai, the Xia Kingdom, which has lost the natural danger barrier, has also completely fallen into a passive situation and is facing the danger of losing the country, so far it is indeed necessary to ask the Great Song Dynasty and surrender. If there was no later incident of the Jiangnan La uprising and the Lianjin invasion of Liao, Tong Guan, who originated in the Song and Xia wars, did not turn his attention to Jiangnan and Yanyun, and mobilized the soldiers of the Western Army in the western border court of Zhenrong to fight in the north and south, and would inevitably continue to gradually encroach on the territory of the Xia State.

Xiao Tang thought that the Xia State, which was already weak, wanted to expand its territory at the time of the confrontation between Jin and Song, and was also unwilling to be suppressed by the Jin State in the early stage and there were some military frictions, but if there was no Jin army to invade the south and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, whether the Xia State could survive for more than a hundred years until it was destroyed by the Mongols is still two words, so it seems that now taking the opportunity to kill Brother Cha will be his own gains, but the gains will outweigh the losses. Another thing that Brother Cha said is right, regardless of the life and death of those comrades-in-arms, Xiao Tang is indeed not that kind of person......

After Brother Cha was taken to the fortress, Xiao Tang and the soldiers only celebrated slightly, and immediately dispatched troops and horses with Liu Fa to move the people in the fortress to the south step by step. The army of the Xia State retreated three miles, and with the Xia army, there were also sentry soldiers and horses in the Xia army who saw the Song soldiers escorting the people to the south, and they were all watching coldly and standing still.

However, two days later, all the people in the fortress had moved, and Xiao Tang was also discussing with the generals under his command when and where to exchange hostages with the Xia army, when suddenly a military health came to report that there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses dressed as Huqiang, Tubo and other border tribesmen, and regardless of the verbal agreement between the Song and Xia armies, they had rushed to the south of the city fortress.
