"Our unified army has no intention of provoking the Eastern Dynasty, and is willing to use the Momuling Mountains as the boundary with the Eastern Dynasty and not invade each other."

The envoy who was sent by Renduo Baozhong to Tong Guan and Gao Yu's army was also surnamed Renduo, and his name was false, and he was a nephew of Baozhong, who could speak fluent Chinese and seemed to be quite shrewd.

The conditions he proposed were not too harsh, that is, to use the Momu Ridge south of the Ancient Bone Dragon City as the new border between the Song and Xia countries. In other words, such a broken place as Ancient Bone Dragon City belonged to Western Xia.

Tong Guan sat in the tent that had just been set up and listened to the envoy's speech, pretending to hold his beard, and did not look like a eunuch at all.

"Hmm," Tong Guan nodded, "This official knows!" ”

He didn't say "our family", but used "this official", so naturally he wanted to hide his identity as a eunuch. The reason why the Western Xia envoy was not allowed to know that he had a disability was not because of inferiority, but because of a deception.

He wanted to let Renduo's loyal army stay in the Ancient Bone Dragon City for as long as possible. The longer they stay, the more military rations will be consumed. It is common sense for soldiers to be chaotic without food, and it is easy to ignore the situation that the general who leads the army with a small amount of food is panicked.

As long as Renduo Baozhong panics, it will be easier to deal with.

If the other party knew that Tong Guan was the powerful Taoxi Prison Army, then it would not be easy for him to delay.

In addition, Tong Guan took the initiative to meet with the envoys of Western Xia on behalf of Gao Yu and Wang Yu...... He would not report Renduo's peace conditions to Taoxi Fusi and Xining and Jingyuan.

"This official will report the request of Renduo to Shangfeng," Tong Guan smiled, looking very talkative, "I will be able to give you an answer in five days at most." ”

Seeing that Tong Guan was very talkative, Ren Duo replied further: "My family's commander also hopes that your army can immediately retreat to Nanzong Fort to avoid misunderstandings between the two sides. ”

"This ......," Tong Guan touched his beard, "If your family commander doesn't bring troops over, how can this official come to defend?" This official also has an order, how can he retreat without an order? This matter has to wait for orders from above. How many days at most, can't you wait? ”

This is reasonable and polite, but he just refuses to retreat......

Renduo has nothing to say about his false answers, he is just a general (Tong Guan's self-proclaimed identity), just such a little power, it is useless to say that the sky is broken, so he got up and said goodbye and went to repay Renduo for his loyalty.

"The leader of the Song people is a general, with a Kaifeng accent, surnamed Tong, in his forties, quite mighty."

Ren Duo, who returned to the Ancient Bone Dragon City, not only informed Ren Duo of Tong Guan's answer, but also told him about what he had found in the Song camp.

"Surname Tong? Kaifeng accent? Renduo Baozhong frowned, "Not from the Western Army?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be," replied Rindo, "not only does the boy speak Kaifeng, but even his guards speak Kaifeng." ”

Renduo replied that he had spent some time in Kaifeng Mansion as an attaché of the Western Xia Mission, and he still remembered what Kaifeng's words looked like.

"Commander the army," Ren Duo Anzhong on the side reminded, "Could they be the elite soldiers selected by the Song Lord through the Imperial Martial Arts as the King of Jin said?" ”

"Probably yes!" Rindo Baozhong frowned.

"Commander, should we withdraw tonight?"

Rindo shook his head: "Wait a little longer...... Wait another six days, if the Song army does not withdraw, we will have to withdraw too. ”

Renduo Anzhong thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to let the Wen family's people go first?" ”

The Wen family took refuge in Western Xia during the Tsoro era, and was a hardcore pro-Xia faction, and because of their belief in Bon, they did not have many friends in the Huangzhong Tibetan tribe. Once the support of Western Xia is lost, it is very likely to be wiped out.

The relationship between the Wen family and the Ren family was very close, and the two families also intermarried with each other, so Ren Duo was embarrassed to leave them and run away by himself.

"It's fine," Rinda nodded, "just let them go first!" ”

This is actually a very wrong decision! Because the Wen family is not an army after all, but a huge Fan family, if you want to move the clan, there are a lot of jars and jars! How long does it take to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads?

If it weren't for Tong Guan's pretending to be malicious, Renduo Baozhong might have abandoned the Wen family ruthlessly. But now it doesn't seem like a big problem, and it shouldn't be able to fight......

……

Just when Renduo Baozhong arranged for the relocation of his family's Shijiao Wen family, the messengers sent by Tong Guan and Gao Yu hurried to Tongchuan Fort, where Taoxi Shuaisi was stationed.

"Renduo is loyal to the Ancient Bone Dragon City?"

Hearing that Ren Duo Baozhong led the troops to the Ancient Bone Dragon City, Wang Hou was not too surprised, but Zhang Shuye, who was stationed with him, became excited.

He is on a secret mission, which is to use the land of Qingtang to win over Renduo to keep his loyalty! However, because of the confrontation between the two armies between Gaizhu City and Tongchuan Fort, the saber rattling, and the Jin King Chage was also in Gaizhu City, the defense was very tight, and there was no opportunity to contact Renduo Baozhong.

When he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, Tong Guan suddenly sent someone to deliver the news that Renduo Baozhong actually led his troops to the Ancient Bone Dragon City!

This is really God bless the Great Song!

"Ji Zhong, you are ......"

Wang Hou looked at Uncle Zhang a little strangely. The division of troops in the Right Wing Army of Western Xia is not a big news, because the Song army and the Xihe army also divided their troops. Wang Hou and Zhang Shuye only had 20,000 troops at hand, and even if they used the soldiers and horses of the Fan Han stationed in Lanzhou, it was less than 50,000. Then a few troops are simply not enough to destroy the soldiers and horses on the right wing of the Western Xia.

As for ordering Tong Guan and Gao Yu to start a war in the Ancient Bone Dragon City, it seems that the grasp is not great. Although Renduo Baozhong was known for his frequent defeat, he had at least 20,000 or 30,000 Western Xia troops on hand, which was not comparable to 20,000 or 30,000 Tibetan troops.

The knights and dragon warriors in front of the palace commanded by Tong Guan and Gao Yu plus the auxiliary soldiers are less than 8,000 people, and they are not sure about fighting.

"Pacify," Uncle Zhang said at night, "I have to go to the front line of Ancient Bone Dragon City." ”

"To the front line of Ancient Bone Dragon City?" Wang Hou looked at Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang glanced at the staff in the festival hall and Wang Hou's personal soldiers, and Wang Hou immediately understood, waved his hand and sent them away.

Uncle Zhang lowered his voice and said: "Pacify, the official family has given the official a secret decree to recruit Renduo to be loyal." ”

"Recruit Renduo to keep his loyalty?" Wang Hou was taken aback, "How is it possible?" And it doesn't make sense......"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Houcai felt a little speechless - that was the meaning of the official family! How could it be pointless?

Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "This is a plan set by the official family and Cai Xianggong, and they are ready to use the land of Qingtang to recruit the Renduo clan." Then, with the assistance of Rindo Hozhong, take Zhuoluo City, Kara River and Qin Wang River! Appeasement, do you think it makes sense? Can it be done? ”

"Use the land of the Qingtang Dynasty to ......" Wang Hou took a breath, the official family can make a bloody capital this time!

"Qingtang is rich, and Renduo may be tempted." Wang Hou pondered and said, "But the loyal and defeated generals do not have high prestige among the Renduo clan, and I am afraid that they can only bring out some people."

As for Renduo Baozhong, he helped us take Zhuoluo City, Kaluo River and Qin Wangchuan River...... I'm afraid it's not easy, right? ”

"Why isn't it easy?"

Uncle Zhang said with a smile: "Now that Brother Cha, the king of the Western Thief Jin, has personally arrived in Zhuo Luochuan to take charge, there are still many people in the right wing army who are not more than one of the people."

Moreover, Qin Wangchuan is the lifeblood of the western thief, once our army enters, I am afraid that there will be a battle of national fortune! ”

It was not that Wang Hou had not thought about the matter of garrisoning Qin Wangchuan, but it was based on being able to severely damage the right wing army of Western Xia. And now the Western Xia Right Wing Army will not attack at all, and if they want to suffer heavy losses, they can only attack the fortress they hold onto, which is very risky...... And how much influence Renduo Baozhong still has, and whether he can help the Song army to inflict heavy losses on the right wing army of Western Xia is hard to say.

So Wang Hou was a little undecided.

Uncle Zhang smiled and didn't tell Wang Hou about Cai Jing's tricks - in fact, Cai Jing didn't expect Qin Wangchuan's victory, which was not good for Cai Jing. Because it was Lu Huiqing who commanded the two armies of Xining and Jingyuan. If he wins a big victory in Qin Wangchuan, then it is inevitable that he will become the right minister after Su Dongpo's death.

So what Cai Jing really wants is a victory in Wudinghe! As long as Qin Wangchuan can attract the main force of Western Xia, then Tao Jiefu will be able to take the castles in the Wuding River Valley. The credit for winning the Wuding River Valley is far greater than occupying a small Qinwangchuan, and Qinwangchuan is the lifeblood of Western Xia, where is it so easy to occupy? The bitter battle of the Xining army is likely to become a stepping stone for Tao Jiefu to establish a great achievement in the Wuding River!

……

Zhang Shuye is under the king's order, and no matter how Wang Hou thinks about recruiting Renduo to protect his loyalty, he can't stop Zhang Shuye's actions. Therefore, Uncle Zhang immediately left Tongchuan Fort and rushed to the front line of Ancient Bone Dragon City non-stop.

It was not too far from Tongchuan Fort to the Ancient Bone Dragon City, Zhang Shuye took his entourage and guards, one person and two horses, and it only took a day and a half to feel that Gao Yongnian, Tong Guan and Gao Yu were stationed in the Haoqian River.

Gao Yongnian came a day earlier than Uncle Zhang, and also brought 12,000 Han soldiers and horses, increasing the number of Song troops on the front line of Ancient Bone Dragon City to 20,000.

The increase in troops of this scale also made Rindo Baozhong on the other side of the Haokang River fall into panic. Although the terrain on both sides of the Haokan River is dangerous, the river is not deep, and there are many shoals that can be crossed, and it is impossible to block the Song army by relying on the river.

Moreover, the army rations that Renduo Baozhong had on hand were already running out, and it was impossible to rely on the Haokang River to defend it. Instead, they were to retreat northwest along the Haokang River and retreat to the city of Rindo Springs. In other words, the Song army could be like him, march along the Haokang River, and then find a shallow place to cross the river on the way.

"Commander the army, the Song army sent an envoy."

Just when Rindo was feeling panicked, the envoys of the Song army came.

It was Qiao Azhu who was sent by Tong Guan, and Qiao Abury brought a somewhat unexpected news to Renduo Baozhong - Zhang Shuye, the governor of the Song State, was ordered by Lu Huiqing, the commander of Xining and Jingyuan, to negotiate the demarcation of the two countries face-to-face.
