Inside the camp of the Xia army outside the city.

A group of generals of the Xia army gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Hu'er sat on the handsome chair, and many generals were a little dissatisfied with Li Hu'er's eastward advance, one of the generals said to Li Hu'er: "Little prince, Your Majesty's military order is to let us stabilize the rear, but now that the little prince will march 60,000 troops eastward, the last general will not understand what the little prince wants?" Violating His Majesty's military order is a crime of killing the head! ”

Facing the general's questioning, Li Hu'er said to General Xia with a cold light in his eyes: "Even if Your Majesty wants to cut off the general's head in the future, you are not qualified to question the general; This time, the eastward expansion of Yanshi City must be taken, which is the key to ensuring the full power of Luoyang City. ”

Li Hu'er's words puzzled the generals, Li Hu'er walked to the map and said: "Yanshi is located in the east of Luoyang, adjacent to Luoshui in the south, and Beibi Mountain in the north, which is the last gateway of Luoyang in the east. ”

"The last general is stupid, and I ask the little prince to punish him." Xia Jiang immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

Li Hu'er helped General Xia up and said: "This battle is related to my Great Xia Empire's victory in the Central Plains, and I will not allow any mistakes; As far as the general knows, the commander of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is stationed in Yanshi City, as for how many defenders you have in Yanshi City, this general is not clear, but the generals don't have to worry, although Yanshi City is in such a critical strategic position, but Yanshi City is dilapidated, the city wall is low and there is no need to worry, we have 60,000 troops and a large number of firearms, it doesn't take three days to take Yanshi City;

The herald ordered all battalions to immediately rearm for battle, and to obey the general's orders when to attack. ”

"Yes, follow the military order......"

In the Yanshi city, the Song army camp and the Chinese army tent.

The tattered Chongxi was kneeling in front of the planter, crying to the planter: "Father is handsome, big brother is him, big brother is ......"

Seed Master Dao shouted tears in his eyes and said, "Tell me quickly, how did Hangu Pass get lost?" ”

"Father, the Xia army appeared with a weapon that could fly into the sky, they threw down a large earth-shattering thunder from the sky, the powder magazine was hit by the Xia army on the spot and exploded, our soldiers suffered heavy losses, the Xia army took the opportunity to attack the city, our army was attacked into the city by the Xia army before it had time to react, and even the eldest brother was shot by the Xia army's bed crossbow......"

"What weapon can fly into the sky?" Seed Master Dao frowned and said suspiciously; "If there is really such a weapon, then let alone Yanshi City, even Bishui Pass and Xingyang can't defend it!"

Then the seed master Dao looked at the seed stream kneeling on the ground and ordered: "The Hangu Pass guard will lose the seed stream in succession Hangu Pass, Luoyang and other places, resulting in the collapse of the eastern defense line of our Great Song Dynasty, and from now on, all official positions will be dismissed and sent to the capital division to be handed over to His Majesty for disposal." ”

"Dashuai, Dashuai......" The generals knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Although the prince of Chongxi is at fault, it is enough to dismiss the official position, why do you want to escort the Jingshi, please think twice......

"Bang!" The planter is angry and slaps the handsome case; "Don't do it right away."

The generals saw that the seed master Dao was so resolute and could only watch the seed stream according to the order, it seems that the seed master Dao was severely punished for the seed stream, but who knows the hard work of the seed master Dao's beloved son! The dismissal of Chongxi from his official position and escorting him to the Beijing Division is actually the Dao of the Seed Master protecting Chongxi; The Great Song Jingshi is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it can be said that it is the safest place in the entire Great Song Dynasty by the emperor's side, and the master has already lost a son, but he doesn't want to lose this son.

As for after Chongxi was escorted to Jiangning Mansion, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty not only did not punish Chongxi, but would provide him with good food and drink, and there was no way for him to let Chongshi Dao hold heavy troops outside! Moreover, although the Seed Master Dao was defeated and lost hundreds of thousands of elites of the Western Song Army, there are too few Song army commanders like Xiang Seed Master Dao who can fight with the Xia Army, and the Seed Master Dao also has a proton side to send his only son to Jiangning Mansion, so that Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty can rest assured.

The next day, Chongxi was escorted to Jiangning Mansion by a team of Song troops, and Chongshi Dao had been silently watching his son leave the city from a distance before returning to the camp; As soon as he returned to the camp, a Song general reported to the planter: "Report, report, report...... Yu Dashuai, there is a person outside Xicheng who claims to be the commander of the Xia army and the special envoy wants to meet the marshal. ”

"Let him in!" Seed Master Dao sat back on the handsome chair and said.

Soon Li Hu'er's envoy arrived, and after entering, the envoy clasped his fists and saluted to the seed master: "The envoy of the prince of Chu of the Great Xia Empire pays a visit to Zhong Shuai. ”

"The prince of Chu?" The Planter Dao said with a questioning face; "Why hasn't Ben Shuai heard of it before?"

"There are many things that Zhong Shuai has never heard of!" The envoy laughed; "My little prince led the army for the first time, and he made such a feat, and his future is immeasurable! Today's envoy came to my little prince's military order, to make a deal with Zhong Shuai, the city wall of Yanshi is dilapidated, and my little prince led 300,000 troops to the city, and the city can be broken overnight, my little prince hopes that Zhong Shuai can give up Yanshi. ”

"Bang!" The planter is angry and slaps the handsome case; "Wishful thinking."

Zhong Shuai was angry. The envoy said with a smile on his face; "Zhong Shuai's eldest son, General Chong Hao's corpse is still in the hands of my little prince, if Zhong Shuai refuses to give up the Yanshi, I'm afraid that the prince will not want to go into the earth for peace in his life, my prince will give Zhong Shuai a night to think about it, wait for a reply tomorrow morning, and say goodbye in the next ......"

After speaking, the envoy bowed his hand to the Seed Master, and then left; After listening to the envoy's words, the Seed Master Dao was stunned on the spot, and the Seed Master Dao then scolded angrily: "Despicable, shameless, and brute...... The erector child dares to do so; O my son! ”

In the early morning of the next day, a letter written by the seed master Dao himself ordered people to be shot into the camp of the Xia army outside the city; When Li Hu'er saw this letter, he immediately smiled and said, "Send someone to hand over Chong Hao's body to Song Jun; Ordered the army to assemble outside the west gate of Yanshi City and stand by. ”

"Yes, little prince......"

Outside the west city of Yanshi City, all the Song army wore linen and filial piety to greet Chong Hao, Chong Hao's body was packed in the coffin, and transported to the front of the Song army in a carriage, and the seed master walked to the carriage and stroked the coffin and said: "My son! I swear for my father that I will destroy the summer thief in this life and avenge my son. ”

"Little prince, just return the body to the Song army, what if the Song army doesn't let you out of Yanshi City?" A general asked Li Hu'er.

Li Hu'er sneered: "He dares, if he doesn't let out the Yanshi, he will guarantee to blow them up into a pile of minced meat." ”

At this time, the only thirty-two hot air balloons in Li Hu'er's hands have been lifted into the air, and they are coming to Yanshi City, and the remaining three have unfortunately crashed in the Battle of Hangu Pass.

Seed Master Dao immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to evacuate Yanshi." ”

"Why, Dashuai; Didn't you say before that you would swear to defend the Yanshi? Why the sudden evacuation? A Song general said very puzzled.

The seed master said; "The defense of Yanshi City is poor, and we are short of troops and the morale of the army is weak, and the morale of the Xia army is like a rainbow, and there are new weapons to help, Yanshi City will be lost, since this is the case, there is no need to continue to defend, withdraw the army!"
