According to the Book of Later Xia, in the winter and December of the first year of Jianwu, the general of the incorruptible government fought in Beihai, killed 40,000 people, and died.

In Beihai County in December, the weather is freezing and the wind is cold. The north-west wind blew the flags above the tent and made a grinning sound, as if to bid farewell to the soldiers who had died in battle.

As the oath said before leaving, it is better to shroud the body of a horse leather and die on the battlefield than to let the enemy invade an inch of land. Even if the enemy attacks, he will not leave the enemy with the slightest material.

After three days of fighting, he died in battle......

What a blow it would be for this team.

The news was naturally delivered to the Xirong camp and the Jizhou Imperial City as soon as possible.

"Humph! This honest government is really crazy, and he actually led the pro-guard army to attack Beihai County, an important town in Xirong, and cut off the retreat of our army! ”

"Don't be angry, general, didn't he die in this battle?"

Many lieutenants constantly comforted Ouyang Yuan. Indeed, they are in a dangerous state here and now.

Beihai County is the station of Xirong Tunliang, although it is heavily guarded, but the defense is lax, and it is not aware that there will be a sneak attack. But now it is different, the Great Xia army attacked Beihai County by surprise, which caused them a complete crisis and made them suffer from the enemy.

However, in the course of this attack, the battle of integrity was killed, which relieved them of a worry. Since the generals are all dead, what are the Great Xia soldiers in Beihai County to fear?

It is precisely because of this that the many soldiers in Xirong's tent will comfort Ouyang Yuan so much.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and there has been a shortage of commanders and commanders in Great Xia for decades, and this honest government is one in a million. Now that the integrity of the government is dead, it is extremely easy for us to send troops to support Beihai. Moreover, you can also take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack Liangzhou, and when the time comes, you will be able to take the two states of Yongliang, and even go straight to the Central Plains from Jingzhou and Yuezhou! ”

"General Zhao is really far-sighted, now it seems that this is an unwise move by Great Xia, hum, after a while, they will be good-looking."

The news that General Lian Zheng went deep into the Beihai to fight and died in battle not only spread among the generals of Xirong, but also naturally spread to the Jizhou court.

On the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial City of Jizhou, Xia Chang's face was cloudy, and the ministers were also silent. The news of the death of the honest government in the war cast a shadow on Daxia in this cold and freezing day.

No matter how the courtiers slandered the honest government before, no matter what disputes there were between the civil and military courtiers, and no matter how fierce the party struggle was in the court, everyone understood that the honest government was indeed a rare talent.

"The war in the North Sea, the battle of clean government died. Ladies and gentlemen, who has been elected to the post of marshal? ”

"Your Majesty, wait!" Before Xia Chang's words fell, he saw Wei Entropy, the auxiliary minister participating in politics among the ministers, walking out, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this matter will not be discussed for the time being, and who should be responsible for the death of the clean government should be discussed!" ”

"The death of clean government, if it weren't for the rumors in the court, he wouldn't have led his troops to attack Beihai County in such a hurry."

Wei Entropy's eyes are very sharp, he has experienced many things in the court, and naturally understands that it is by no means so simple to die in battle. Behind this, there are naturally rumors in the court.

In fact, Wei Entropy has seen the battle plan submitted by Lian Zheng and understands that attacking Beihai County is a dangerous move, of course, for Lian Zheng. If he wins, maybe all the unfavorable remarks against him in the court will disappear, and if he loses, then the integrity of the government will be at most a loss of office and dismissal.

However, in the current environment of the court, if the clean government wins, the class teacher will still face some problems when he returns to the court. Or to put it another way, he is still a victim of partisanship.

"General Wei, this is a bad statement. Honest government died in battle, and everyone had rumors in the court, but it was Xijon who really killed him. Gao Shen was defending certain things, "Besides, it is better not to discuss these things while the bones are still cold, and I implore Your Majesty to come up with measures to reward the descendants of the honest government." ”

"Tall man, don't you know that human words are terrifying? These four words, killing people invisibly! The rumors in the court, and even the things discussed before, are like a reminder. The original plan of the incorruptible general was to attack Beihai County in March and April next year, but now he is not well prepared, so that you people are urging the attack, although he won, he also buried one of my generals in Daxia! ”

Wei Entropy's words made some people who originally wanted to defend themselves immediately shut up. In fact, from the abandonment of Xiliangguan to the present, Lian Zheng led the army to attack Beihai, in addition to the suggestion of Xia Chun, the king of the eight sages, more pressure came from the court.

It wasn't so much that he decided to attack, but that he was forced by the court.

Xia Chang listened to everyone's words, his face was a little unnatural, and he was also responsible for this matter. To be honest, he really wanted to make some decisions himself, but the status of the four political assistants made it impossible for him to make such a decision. What's more, he is not yet at the age of a weak crown, and according to the ancestral system, he cannot be pro-government. If you take the government in advance, it will inevitably attract obstruction from hundreds of officials.

"That's it! All these major military and political affairs will be handled by Wei Entropy, right? Including the death of the incorruptible government. Xia Chang was a little tired, and the recent stage of the matter made him unable to decide, "Gao Shen, you can assist Wei Entropy!" ”

Whatever decision made by the court will naturally not be passed on to the Great Xia army soon.

Beihai County, half a month has passed. Qin Yi stood on the city wall, looking at the black army in the west, his scalp tingled. He is now the adjutant general of this army, and the main leader is Mu Nanfeng.

"General Mu, you see that ahead is the rescue army of Xirong. If you look at this formation, there are tens of thousands of people. ”

Qin Yi made an accurate judgment, Xirong's arrival at this time, I am afraid that he has the determination to seize Beihai County.

"We've made all the preparations, and the next thing to do is to retreat." Mu Nanfeng also looked into the distance and witnessed what Qin Yi said, "Pass the order, call the soldiers and horses everywhere, evacuate as quickly as possible, and leave this empty city of Beihai County to them!" ”

"Yes!"

A few days later, at Xiliang Pass, Ouyang Yuan's face was very gloomy: "Hmph! Originally, Mu Nanfeng, the deputy general of Great Xia, was too arrogant, not only destroying the ten years of grain and grass hoarded by Beihai County, but also destroying all the dwellings! ”

"The rear road of our army is broken!"

Hearing what Ouyang Yuan said, the faces of some generals also became gloomy.

"They're not attacking the city, they're slaughtering it."

This news also spread to the capital of Xirong - West Broken Leaf City.

And with it came the messenger of Great Xia.
