Zhao Sheng won the battle, so Li Buqi naturally had to brag as much as he could. At the same time as he sent out the message, a press release was also issued. In the press release, Zhao Sheng was portrayed as a pro-risk, commanding Ruoding, fighting on the front line instead of today's officials, and his filial piety moved the heavens and the earth, and under the protection of the heavens and the earth, the Song army won the battle after hard fighting.

The results of this battle were brilliant, beheading and capturing 6,000 Western Xia soldiers, killing several chiefs, and capturing hundreds of Western Xia people, more than 800 war horses, and more than 1,000 cattle and sheep, which was a great victory in the northwest in recent years. I believe that this victory can add a lot of points to Zhao Sheng.

After the battle of the day, the Song army did not stop moving, but took advantage of the victory to pursue, the cavalry went out for a hundred miles, until the Tangut people built a walled fort, plundered the Xixia people and cattle and sheep who could not escape, and returned with 10,000 people and 60,000 cattle and sheep in three days. Then, the Song army burned the crops all the way and slowly retreated to the Quye River. According to Li Buqi's arrangement, Zhi Kerou escorted all these Western Xia people to Yanzhou for Zhang Kang to disperse and resettle.

On the second day of the Battle of Quye River, Zhang Kang sent 3,000 militia recruits trained in Yanzhou to Fuzhou to strengthen Zhao Sheng's militia. The government organized and cooperated to cut wheat in Yanzhou and Fuzhou this time, and the efficiency was much higher than that of the people's own busy work, so they were able to draw out a large number of manpower. Thousands of young and strong laborers in Fuzhou were concentrated on the Quye River, known as 20,000, and the Song army camped on the Quye River, and vigorously built a walled fort.

The encroachment on both sides of the Quye River was the handiwork of the Western Xia minister. The death of his sister, the Empress Dowager Muzang, last year brought about a subtle change in the political power of Western Xia, and he had to sit in Beijing to suppress all forces that tried to seize power. After receiving the report of the defeat of Quyehe, he had a little headache, because Fuzhou was a bit of a partial, not the most important area in Hengshan, but close to the Liao State, and the situation was sensitive.

But if you don't retaliate, you can't do it, Quye Hexi, in the era of Yuan Hao, there are more than 30 places in Hongyawu, Daoguang Valley and other places, and now because of his political achievements, all the projects have been smashed by the Song people, which is a slap in the face.

But this was also an opportunity for him, and he immediately ordered to send Wildfire Akana, who was not on good terms with him, to lead 20,000 people from three tribes to reinforce the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division, and the Xiangyou Military Division sent 7,000 troops to reinforce the Zuoxiang Divine Warrior Division, and the Zuoxiang Divine Warrior Division sent troops to recapture the land by the Quye River.

On May 19, Si Wei Mingshan, the Divine Warrior of the Left Wing, led 14,000 cavalry and 23,000 infantry to the Quye River. At this time, Wei Mingshan had basically figured out the strength of the Lin Mansion through various intelligence. In his opinion, he sent 5,000 cavalry and a part of the infantry to cut off the connection between Qingjian City in Yanzhou, the East Road of the Great Song River and Linfu, and although it was impossible to attack Linzhou with the troops in his hands, it was no problem to seize all the land on both sides of the Quye River.

Accepting the experience of the defeat of the last famous Mahu, this time he first sent troops to attack the Jinning army by the Yellow River, in an attempt to lure the Song army to rescue. But after the attack began, he found that the Jinning army had been strengthened, and it would not be able to attack it for a while, and the power of the stone throwers in the city was amazing, which made the soldiers besieging the city daunting. Moreover, the Song army of Linfu and Qingjian had no intention of sending aid at all. Western Xia didn't have much food to support the long-term battle, so he had to change his strategy and go straight to Linzhou.

This is a hard encounter, the Song army has already built half of the walled fort by the Quye River, and two large camps have been set up, which are horns for each other. The Song army only guarded the camp with infantry, and the Song army's firearms inflicted heavy losses on the Western Xia army, with more than 2,000 casualties on the first day. For a while, Wei Mingshan was also helpless, and what made him even more confused was that the cavalry of the Song army had not appeared, as if they had disappeared, which made him always have to keep a powerful cavalry in his hands and did not dare to move lightly.

On the 24th of May, before dawn, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the battlefield. More than a dozen horses galloped into the Xixia camp, and several officers ran into the camp tent of Weiming Mountain with anxious faces.

"What? Did the Liao State send troops? This news shocked Wei Mingshan like thunder for a long time.

"How many are there?" After coming to his senses, Wei Mingshan asked.

"I don't know, but there are tens of thousands." The general who reported the news said urgently.

Wei Mingshan felt a little puzzled, although he had detected rumors that the Liao State had invaded Western Xia, he had not seen a large collection of troops, so why did he suddenly send troops? This matter is a bit contrary to common sense, so he can't think about it too much. But in this era, there is such a lack of means of communication, and some things are difficult to speculate.

It is contrary to common sense that the Liao State did not masse troops on a large scale, but it is not without the possibility of blocking the news and creating a false impression for the sake of a surprise attack, and there is also the possibility of temporary uprising. The Liao State guarded Xijing but Xiao Hui, the first few Liao invasions of Western Xia, were the worst defeat of Xiao Hui's Southern Route Army, Xiao Hui had the possibility of learning that the Song people wanted to take the opportunity to get back face after they got started.

Linzhou is close to the border meeting of the Song, Xixia and Liao countries, and if the cavalry sets off from the border of the Liao State and the Western Xia State, it will arrive in two or three days, and Wei Mingshan really does not dare to bear the danger of being copied by the Liao State.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia was more afraid of the Liao State. A few years ago, the Liao State also fought to Helan Mountain, and even the Queen Mother was captured. If the Liao State wants to raise troops to attack Xia, it is something that needs to be dealt with carefully, and the first thing that the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division has to deal with is the invasion of the Liao State, and the matter of Quye River is just a trivial matter. Even, the troops must be withdrawn from the Quye River immediately, otherwise if the Liao army takes the back road, there will be nothing left.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Mingshan finally gave the order to withdraw the troops immediately. But it was not so easy for tens of thousands of people to withdraw their troops, and as soon as the signs of retreat appeared, the cavalry of the Song army appeared. Although the cavalry strength of the Tangut people had an absolute advantage, because the news of the invasion of the Liao State had spread, the chieftains of the various departments had no heart to fight, and fought a chaotic battle, losing a lot of men and horses before they broke away from contact with the Song army, and the whole army turned to the border between the Western Xia and the Liao State.

The news of the invasion of the Liao State made the Western Xia really nervous for a while, and he did not dare to slack off and gather troops to prepare for the battle. But soon the border calmed down, and the Liao State did not look like an army at all, which is a bit of a joke. It took more than a month for the Western Xia to inquire clearly, and it turned out that it was the Song merchants of Linfu who asked the Liao tribes who had business dealings to send troops to attack the Western Xia, otherwise they would not trade with them.

Li Buqi's choice of the first battle against Western Xia in Linfu was not chosen at random, but he wanted to take advantage of Liao's containment of Western Xia. Those tribes who had the opportunity to trade with the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty in Linfu bought cattle, sheep, horses, and wool from afar and sold them to Linfu in the past year, and then sold the woolen cloth, leather goods, spirits, tea and other materials they bought, but they made a lot of money. No one dared to imagine what would happen if the Song people did not trade with themselves, but handed over the trade to other tribes.

And fighting Xixia is not a big deal in Liao, Liaoguo has always been very wary of Xixia, not to mention, Xiao Hui, who guarded Xijing, was defeated by Xixia several times, and his face was lost, and he would only be happy if he saw Xixia eating deflated. So these tribes were more active than one another, and they connected some other tribes to the Western Xia to rob, and by the way, annexed several tribes to increase the population, and the result was that under the order of Zhi Kerou, the cavalry of nearly 10,000 Liao tribes rushed across the border of Western Xia.

This toss, although the loss of Western Xia troops was not large, but the tens of thousands of troops of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division were exhausted, and the Western Xia was mobilized on a large scale, which was a blow to the national strength of the Western Xia. When everything is clear, when Wei Mingshan looks back at the Quye River, two large villages that are horns of each other have been established, and the Song people rely on the benefits of firearms, and he also has to worry about the situation on the border of Liao, and he is helpless for a while, who makes him not know that there is civil strife in Liao at this time.
