Before Dia Bird arrived in Yuyang, Jingkang withdrew his troops from Yuyang. This road is used to contain Yuyang's troops, and now Di Axiao's whole division has returned, with the military strength of Dingxia Erzhou can deter the back road, and he will have to withdraw sooner or later, but in Dongxia, in Yuyang, people would rather believe that they were scared away by the king.

The king has already scared off tens of thousands of Jingkang soldiers when he returns alone, which is enough to make the military and civilians cheer themselves up, and the military and civilians also need such news to spread.

However, when Dia Bird arrived in Yuyang, the situation in the North Plains was reported.

Fortunately, Zhao Guo led his troops back in time, he ordered the Tiger to retreat from the Yuyang River Valley, but he led his troops from Lulong Pass, first defeated the Jingkang army that captured Lulong Pass, and then rode straight to the southwest of Weibo, where he fought with Jingkang...... This time, it was no longer the previous large-scale offensive and defensive battle formations, but a swift movement war, which naturally defeated the Jingkang army and pulled back a game, and then, Tao Kan was worried that he would attack Wei Bo or occupy the supply area southwest of Wei Bo, and in order to deal with the cavalry of Eastern Xia, he hurriedly pulled the red-clothed general back from the Yuyang River Valley.

The two sides have already begun to communicate with each other.

The negotiations included Zhao Guo's request that Tao Kan no longer besiege the besieged Jingkang army, and Tao Kan's request that Zhao Guo lead his troops to retreat.

In fact, both of them were in an unwilling situation on the battlefield. This kind of negotiation is all threatening, and the next step is to fight and promote peace. Tao Kan wants to clear the Dongxia military forces in the territory and restore the fortress, and only when he actually controls it in his hand, he will feel that he can negotiate peace, and although Zhao Guo has the bottom line given by Di Aniao, the purpose is to hit Jingkang hard once or twice, so that Jingkang can not be underestimated and have the right to speak during negotiations.

Zhao Guo only had tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands.

Although they are all elite iron cavalry of Eastern Xia, it is not enough to teach hundreds of thousands of Jingkang troops enough lessons, even if they have defeated Jingkang troops twice, it is not painful. The discipline of the Eastern Xia army was strict, and there was no precedent for burning and looting the people, so it was difficult to kill people and set fire to create chaos around Weibo, and because of the lack of follow-up forces, they did not dare to continue to go south, and went straight to the Daimyo's Mansion and other places, so they retreated to Lulongguan again.

According to the marching speed of the two armies, it was almost impossible for Tao Kan to intercept the Eastern Xia army.

But the impossible soon became a possibility.

In a large area under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Xia, some people successfully gathered the villagers and gathered a force of tens of thousands to echo the Jingkang army at several dangerous places to intercept the Eastern Xia army.

As a result of their obstruction, Taukan led superior forces to catch up......

Dia Bird's return to Yuyang is exactly the moment when this battle is about to break out. There was nothing more devastating to the soldiers and civilians of Eastern Xia than the uprising in his jurisdiction, even Dia Bird, he couldn't understand why, the people in his own jurisdiction could also be instigated, and they had to play a game of taking advantage of the danger...... These places have all benefited from the Eastern Xia, and the Eastern Xia is in a state of supervision over their governance, and the military service is less, and the taxes are also small, not that the Northern Expedition needs a lot of materials and some food, and they are lighter than the burden of the Dongxia people. In some places there at that time, there were no people for ten miles, but now the population is gradually recovering, and it is thriving, but I don't know what to be grateful for, but to echo Jingkang and Dongxia as enemies.

He couldn't figure it out.

But whether he understood it or not, he had to hurry to the Northern Plains to support the situation there.

Before reaching the Northern Plains, I encountered the remnants of Da Da Erhu and Xie Shilling on the way...... This remnant of the defeated army will go all the way, all the way worried, Da Da Erhu also wanted to go to Zhao Guo's army to serve, to avoid seeing people, but now he can't escape, as soon as he goes up, he found that Dia Bird is standing next to the forest of the middle of the clan Wan Hu Na Song, already feel that it is not good, sure enough, just arrived in front of him, shouted "Abba", Dia Bird slapped him to the ground.

He rolled over and stood up, howling and arguing, "My son did his best." He looked at Na Ri Song with a vicious eye, suspecting that this and that Ri Song had a grudge and secretly complained, so he pointed with his hand and said angrily: "If it weren't for their people who couldn't stand it on the battlefield and rushed to disrupt the Chinese army, the victory or defeat would not be known." ”

Dia Bird was taken aback.

He beat the tiger, not because of defeat, but because he was a mustard in the middle of the forest, and he was surprised that he was unrepentant, and the new tribe in the middle of the forest was surrendered, and you were sent to death by others.

Should everyone else die for you?

What kind of logic is this?

When it comes to battlefield responsibility, can you still blame others in a righteous way? He closed his eyes for a while, thinking about how to correct them, and after thinking about it, he opened them and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice that had been tired for days: "Ah Hu." Do you know that the Central Lin clan was almost wiped out? Among the dozens of ethnic groups, there are only ...... left" He pointed at Da Da Erhu with his horsewhip, his faces crowded together, Xie Xianling was afraid that he would go up and whip him, so he hurriedly blocked the front. Xie Xianling actually knew for a long time that he would never do this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he met, he would have a seizure over this matter and explain on his behalf: "Great King." The prince has no choice. There are no soldiers in his hands, it is to resist the Jingkang army, and he has to do it as a last resort. ”

Persuading Dia Bird, Xie Xianling also suspected that Na Risong was the person who complained, and hurriedly looked at him, hoping that he would stop in moderation.

That day was about to speak for a while.

What did he say?

As a leader, he is not a fool, how can he not know this subtlety, on the one hand, he is the disabled people in the forest, and on the other hand, you are under the eaves of the Dongxia people, watching the Great Khan beat his son for his subordinates, you persuade you to be sorry for the people in the forest, you don't persuade, the Dongxia monarchs blame you for not having eyes, and it will be difficult to guarantee that you will not hate you in the future, not to mention whether this king really beats his son or waits for his own persuasion, and he doesn't know.

Diao sneered and said: "There are no soldiers, and the strength is not comparable, why do you have to fight hard?" Yes? I've heard people say that it's not the Dongxia people who died anyway......"

He dragged that day loose over, condescendingly, forced to look at Xie Xianling and asked, "He is a minister to me, is he from Dongxia?" Da Xia Luer and others made it together, and asked you, do you say that he is not from Dongxia? ”

Xie Shilling was dumbfounded, he didn't know why this fire had burned on him again.

Da Erhu wanted to say "no" for a while, but he was afraid of losing Abba as a king in front of everyone, so he said: "Only those who have passed the test will be." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took another kick, took five or six steps back, and sat on the ground with his ass, and Xie Shilling, who was protecting him, was also knocked on the head.

That day pine was even more embarrassed.

Diaxue caught up slowly, and shouted loudly.

Di Aqing ran over, carrying Dia Bird, and Shi 100 billion ran to Da Da Erhu's side, helped Da Da Erhu up, and shouted at Di Ah Bird excitedly: "You hit him." Why did you hit him? As she spoke, she tugged at the tiger's armor and cried, "He is only fourteen years old, what do you want him to do?" ”

She tore off the tiger's armor, and the tiger was still resisting, but the wounds and the white cloth had begun to be exposed to the sun.

The sun stings people's eyes.

Shi 100 billion pointed to show it and asked loudly: "He is only fourteen years old...... When didn't I rush forward with you? ”

Da Da Erhu couldn't help it, his eyes wrinkled, and the tears of grievance rolled down.

All the soldiers knelt on one knee and begged: "The king wants to blame us, stop beating Baote...... Some people simply cried loudly, crying: "We know that the king is sad for the soldiers who died in battle, but Lord Baote really tried his best." You are angry, your king, you beat us, you scold us, you can't blame Baote. It's true. Several times in distress, all of them are nine deaths, aren't you afraid that you won't see him again? ”

Dia Bird's heart softened.

Grabbed Di Aqing and walked over, Shi 100 billion was still vigilant to protect the Ta Ta Er Tiger, Di Ah Bird shook her head for her, walked up to the Ta Ta Er Tiger, stroked his face, grabbed his armor, and completely removed him, looking at the wounds on his body, old and new, many of them were inflamed, red, swollen and pus because they were difficult to bandage on the battlefield.

Dia Bird wrinkled his eyes, hid his tears, and said with a stiff "um", "Go, deal with your injuries again." ”

Diao ran to the remnants of the defeated army, and repeatedly thanked them for supporting the situation, and repeatedly made them rise, but the people ordered him to punish the defeat.

Narimatsu was also infected.

He originally hated it, hated the people of Dongxia who had mustard him, but at this moment, he forgave a lot.

Staying here, someone came from Lulongguan.

The man jumped off his horse and shouted, "Sent by the marshal, report to the king." Our unit has fulfilled its mission, defeated the Jingkang army again, and the whole army retreated to Lulongguan. ”

Da Da Erhu was a teenager after all, and suddenly he didn't remember that he had just been beaten, so he jumped up from the side and asked, "Did they use that kind of iron pimple cannon?" ”

The knight replied forcefully, "Yes." But it was broken by us. ”

Da Erhu said "ah", went up and grabbed his arm, and asked, "How did it break?" ”

The knight said proudly, "Go around." ”

Da Da Erhu woke up to the fact that his uncle led all cavalry, and his tactics were naturally different.

Somewhat frustrated, he went back and was treated to his wounds by the medical officer.

Now that the front has already won, Dia Bird temporarily decided not to rush so quickly, and feasted on this side of the Yuyang River Valley. The camp gradually became angry, no longer frustrated, he asked Xie Shilling alone, and discussed peace talks with Xie Shilling, as soon as the two points of view were thrown away, Xie Shilling regretted not returning to Yuyang alone and bypassing him. Of these two views, the first is to return the Northern Plains to Jingkang; The second is to return the southwest of Huangnan to Gao Xian in exchange for the desert meadows and jungles north of the North Black Water...... This is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Yuyang and the Northern Plains, as well as the southwest of Huangxi, this is a densely populated area in Eastern Xia, and Dingxia Erzhou is different, here is the best place for soldiers, most of them are old tribes, how to say that you can give up? But Xie Xianling knew that Dia Niao would not have this idea for no reason, and he must have thought about it in his heart for a long time, but he still didn't want to express his opinion, not that he couldn't see that the Northern Plains would be difficult to recapture, and handing over the southwest of Huangnan to Gao Xian could be exchanged for Gao Xian's alliance...... Gao Xian has not only suffered from the disaster, but also become more and more difficult financially because of poor management over the years, give them this place, they must be willing to work hard with Jingkang with Dongxia, not to mention that they don't have to work hard, just play a check and balance.

Xie Shilling said tentatively: "Great King." It's too expensive. ”

Dia Bird nodded heavily and said, "Yes." The price is significant. ”

Xie Shilling said: "Without these two places, our Dongxia will also lack the foundation of grain and money." Not to mention anything else, how will the king settle the Dongxia people who live in these two places? ”

Dia Bird did not answer him directly, and demanded: "You think about it, and you think about it again." No matter how strong Dongxia is, it can't withstand several battles. If there is an endless war with Jingkang, Gu is not sure to stabilize Gao Xian, they almost do not border Jingkang, and they want to fish in troubled waters, and they are also looking for our Dongxia. ”

For the first time, Xie Shilling felt that the situation had reached such a point.

Before, he was also thinking that Dia Bird would temporarily abandon the north and bring the army back to fight a decisive battle with Jingkang, and then negotiate peace.

But at present, Dia Niao is obviously unwilling to withdraw from Mobei, if he does not withdraw from Mobei, he will not have the strength to fight Jingkang, and there is even a Gao Xian...... Xie Xianling almost ignored Gao Xian, and after being reminded by Dia Bird, he remembered that this sick tiger also eats meat.

It can't find Jingkang.

Although Dongxia gave him a passage, it was still almost cut off from Jingkang, and it was difficult for Dongxia to defeat Jingkang, he fished in troubled waters, and found the object to bully, and it would only be Dongxia who was in trouble.

Xie Shilling understood, but sighed: "This Eastern Xia is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and in the past few hundred years, only a hero like the Great King can gallop here to build a country." He asked rhetorically, "What does Guo Jia mean?" ”

Dia Bird said: "He said that we can only have one enemy in Eastern Xia at a time. ”

Xie Shilling was silent.

He still did not agree with Diao's claim.

From a certain point of view, this is equivalent to half of Eastern Xia.

Di Ah Niao didn't urge him, and said softly: "The central Lin clan is still stationed in the Yuyang River Valley, and I will call Ah Hu later, and call all the high-ranking generals in the army to thank them for their sacrifice to Dongxia, apologize to others, in exchange for others' forgiveness, and promise them that they will be treated equally, will give them enough pensions, and will teach them to farm and produce." ”

Xie Shilling smiled bitterly and said, "Is this useful?" ”

Dia Bird said, "Lonely doesn't know. Ahh What iniquity he hath made. If you can't win, you will retreat, why do you pile up human lives? The people of the middle of the forest are not people? ”

He also said: "We gather all ethnic groups in Eastern Xia, and we don't want to distinguish between you and me, this is the book of the Great Xia Law Firm, and you say it every day, what is the result?" In addition to the Linzhong tribe in the north, there will be many tribes, and they heard that the Linzhong tribe surrendered to us, not only did not exchange for wealth and tranquility, but was wiped out by our Dongxia tribe...... Will anyone else surrender to us? This hero of the north, will anyone go through a lot of hardships to defect to Lonely? ”

Dia Bird demanded: "You go and tell Ah Hu, sue him, he Ah Abba is not because he is defeated and beats him, when he is defeated, and when there is a disparity in strength, no one is exempt, no one can be defeated for a long time...... He was beaten because he had no life in his eyes, and he did not know that a man was dead, so he died. ”

Xie Shilling is understood as "benevolence".

He nodded, and slowly stepped back.

When he was gone, Dia Bird began to mutter, "How could Ah Hu be like this? He only sees victory and defeat, no one ...... Without people, what does it mean to win or lose? Then he raised his head and stared at the roof of the tent above, his mouth slurring and he was speechless.
