Han Qi's arrival at the Liao Army barracks was a very solemn matter, even if there was no notice in advance, it was very sudden, and the necessary etiquette must be maintained.

After Liao Xingzong got the notification, he also sent someone to greet him, and it was Zhou Wenxiu who was responsible for greeting him, which made Han Qi very different.

It's not that Liao Guo discovered something, but after his return, Zhou Wenxiu's status was higher.

3 major contributions, the second battle, or to solve the food problem, Zhou Wenxiu can say that the great merit of saving the entire Liao army not only won the title of Guogong, but also listed it from Xiao Hui and became a real general.

At present, the battle of Western Xia has not ended, the city wall has been broken, and the Liao army has entered Xingqing Mansion, but the balance of Liao Xingzong has still been achieved.

Responsible for the attack of Xingqing Mansion, it was more Yelu Chongyuan, as the commander of the first army, after being initially defeated by Yuan Hao and suffering heavy losses, Yelu Chongyuan almost did not perform in this war.

Liao Xingzong is here, he must make a little balance, before, Xiao Huibu, made a huge contribution, it can be said that turning the tide, under this premise, it is not appropriate for him to make another meritorious service.

Xiao Hui also knew that he was just doing some corner work, which would not affect the main direction of Yelu Chongyuan's attack, and the Xingqing Mansion had already been breached, and there was no problem if he slowed down a little.

After Zhou Wenxiu was upgraded, he was already the commander of 5,000 heavy cavalry, and in this siege battle, the cavalry played a very small role, so he was left behind to guard the big tent.

As the general of the Great Tent, Han Qi's arrival, as the commander of the Northern Song Dynasty, to a certain extent, is quite a status, under such a premise, Zhou Wenxiu, a person with sufficient status and knowledge of Song language, has become a natural choice.

Han Qi didn't expect that it was Zhou Wenxiu who was responsible for greeting him, but in such an environment, Zhou Wenxiu and Han Qi could only make contact with each other with their eyes, and couldn't say anything.

They hadn't seen each other, but they had seen each other's portraits, even from afar, and they recognized each other at a word, but they didn't have time to communicate.

Han Qi's gaze on Zhou Wenxiu is approving, and it can be said unceremoniously that the current situation in the Northern Song Dynasty has a lot to do with Zhou Wenxiu, without his cooperation in the play, perhaps, the situation of the entire Liao Kingdom will collapse.

No one thought that a dead man could do so much without exposing himself.

Zhou Wenxiu's actions, coupled with the cooperation of the Western Xia of the Liao State and even the Northern Song Dynasty, finally fell in the 4 states and Xingqing Mansion was also besieged.

It is very difficult for a city with strong defense, especially at the level of Wangdu, to take it, which is also where Yuan Hao's confidence lies, he never thought about the possibility of Xingqing Mansion being captured, which is also the reason for his defeat.

In the era of cold weapons, under the premise of a lot of preparations, it is difficult to capture a city, especially Yuan Hao, who is so prepared, concentrated 700,000 people, at least a year or so of grain and grass in the fortified city, not to mention 140,000 people, even 280,000, or even 560,000, it is difficult to capture it, because of the forcible attack, the final loss of troops and the possibility of being counter-killed, but the Northern Song Dynasty was so unreasonable, and directly came up with an attack method beyond this era.

6 tons of black powder, in the face of its own defense strength, the construction technology, are not as good as the Northern Song Dynasty Xingqing Mansion, then the remnant thought, the entire city wall was breached, Yuan Hao was stunned at that time, in the end, all the previous choices, all the things, have become stupid, fell to this end, decades, the accumulation of three generations, became a remnant.

It can be said that nothing is as good as Xingqing Mansion, and 700,000 people were surrounded and annihilated in the end, which is basically the end of Western Xia, even if Yuan Hao escapes, it will not affect the overall situation, he has changed from the emperor in the Three Kingdoms to a rogue.

Coincidentally, coupled with some secret weapons, these have become the final results of the current battle, Zhou Wenxiu's role, it cannot be said, incomparable, but very critical.

Especially after Zhou Wenxiu contacted the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty could understand the entire battle situation, seize the time, take Lingzhou, and successfully intervene in the offensive and defensive battles of Xingqing Mansion.

Han Qi's long-cherished wish for many years was actually so simple that the moment he won Lingzhou, he didn't even believe that all this in front of him was true.

Such an outstanding person who has made immortal achievements, Han Qi has long wanted to communicate with him, but unfortunately, this is not the time, at the moment when the two sides first met, simple eye contact, and finally there was no word.

But the meaning of both sides has been understood, they are both smart people, and to a certain extent, this is worth a thousand words.

Under the guidance of Zhou Wenxiu, he briefly introduced the situation of the Liao army, and also pointed to Xiao Hui and Yelu Chongyuan, but did not say much, so far, these are rare information, but they are normal, and the guards next to him didn't think much about it at all.

At this time, there were not many people in the big tent of Liao, that is, forty or fifty thousand people, Han Qi came with few people, and there were not too many inspections, and soon, he entered the account and saw Liao Xingzong.

The big tent is quite luxurious, and it is also very huge, dozens of times the size of the ordinary camp tent, because of the idea of Liao Xingzong, Xiao Hui, the minister of civil and military affairs, and the clan relatives and nobles, at least dozens of people, all gathered in the big tent.

Han Qi walked into the big tent, Han Qi met Liao Xingzong, Liao Xingzong is only 26 years old now, even six years younger than Han Qi, but the characteristics of nomads make him look a little old.

As the privy deputy envoy, the head of the four routes, and the supreme commander of the entire Western Xia army, even when the center has not yet decided to cooperate with the Liao State, he is regarded as the commander of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in terms of position, he is already qualified to negotiate with Liao Xingzong.

Liao and Song are brother countries, Liao is the brother, the Northern Song Dynasty is the brother, but that is for the Holy Sect, the current Renzong, can be called Xingzong's uncle, however, the throne of the two sides is still mutually recognized, for this Liao Xingzong, he still retains a certain respect, with the emperor's etiquette.

After a little courtesy, Liao Xingzong still maintained a certain amount of respect for Han Qi, and after simple gossip, he naturally led the topic to this war.

Han Qi knew the current situation of the Liao army, and offered to help the Liao army take Xingqing Mansion, and he could use the longbow troops.

The kind of powerful attack shown by the longbow troops, Liao Xingzong saw it, to be honest, at the beginning, when the explosion was not carried out, the longbow team showed a strong attack power, almost single-handedly, suppressed the Western Xia unable to raise its head, and even a strong covering attack, causing a large number of casualties in the Western Xia.

At this moment, in the battle for one fang after another, if Longbow joins this war, it will definitely be able to show its strength and help the Liao army gain an advantage.

The Liao army lacked a suppressive long-range force, and the cavalry could only fight on the main road in such a complex street battle, and even at some point, had to dismount and become a fixed shooter, which greatly limited the combat effectiveness of the Liao army.

This is also the fundamental reason for the current slow progress, the Liao cavalry is more good at cavalry archery, cavalry archery pays attention to projectile and accuracy, while the infantry archer pays attention to stability and suppression, which is a little different, and finally determines that the cavalry is not in place to support the infantry.

The longbow is itself a foot archer, and the most important thing is that the range and armor-piercing ability shown by the longbow are quite outstanding, and if the longbow joins the battle, you can also watch the role of the longbow up close and understand what the longbow is?

The unknown is always terrifying, and the longbow shows a terrible range and rate of fire, far exceeding that of ordinary archers, which is incomprehensible to the Liao State.

It was very tempting, but in the end Liao Xingzong refused, he understood very well that at this time, it was not the best choice to let the Northern Song army intervene, maybe their intervention would reduce the losses of the Liao army, but it would increase the uncertainty, in case the Northern Song Dynasty put forward greater demands, or even territorial issues, what should the Liao State do.

Almost without hesitation, Liao Xingzong strongly refused, and did not even give Han Qi any leeway, this opening could not be opened, and there was no possibility of continuing to talk.

Liao Xingzong's attitude, Han Qi didn't care, he had foreseen the possible idea of Liao Guo before, he proposed the longbow to assist, more to show a sense of existence, just to show that attitude, and not necessarily to intervene in the battle of Xingqing Mansion.

War is always a way full of uncertainty, his troops, in Lingzhou, under the city of Xingqingfu, have not suffered huge losses, there is no need to die under Xingqingfu for a certain purpose, his main purpose is for the division of territory.

That's right, Lingzhou, which has been completely occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty, must have been eaten, and it is impossible to spit it out again, and the same is true for what the Liao State has taken.

The focus of the two sides is actually from Lingzhou to Xingqing Mansion, in fact, which area of Xingqing Mansion originally belonged to.

This area is not very large, a little more than 100 miles in total, but this is the same as Lingzhou, which belongs to the rich land on the Hetao.

In fact, with Xingqing Mansion as the center, Lingzhou, and several surrounding prefectures are originally places with abundant water and grass, because the nomads of Western Xia could not grow food, so they were abandoned and became grasslands.

Of course, it is impossible for the Liao State to give up, this is the anointing place of the Western Xia in the five states, not to mention, after the destruction of the Western Xia, the Xingqing Mansion must be the core, on the one hand, to defend against the counterattack of the Western Xia Yuanhao, on the other hand, to defend the Northern Song Dynasty, between countries, the treaty is backed by strength, and the Liao State is very clear that if there is not enough strength to guard here, the treaty is just a dead letter.
