And on the Hedong Road, due to its close proximity to the greater enemy of the Great Song State, the Great Liao State. Therefore, Zhang Lei was not ready to participate in this big operation, and Zhi Kexing only asked Zhi Keshi to lead 8,000 cavalry and hide at the junction of Yanyan Road and Huanqing Road.

Its purpose is also very simple, in order to be able to reinforce these two roads in time at a critical moment.

At the same time, Zhong Chuan, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, sent the famous general Miao Fu to lead the troops to attack, intending to attack the border of the Western Xia Kingdom and contain the Western Xia Xishou Taijian Military Division in front.

Xihe Lu sent Wang Hou to send troops to contain Zhuo Luo and the Southern Supervision Army Division of Western Xia. Unexpectedly, Wang Jian was too successful, he made a surprise attack on Yanzhou, and he actually succeeded and occupied the city for a short time.

However, it is precisely like this, Wang Gan's move is unfavorable to the battle of Lanzhou City, because it has caused a lot of trouble.

By the way, the general who broke through Yanzhou City was a general of Wang Gan, who was born in Hedong and was named Cai Yongnian. Later, some people said that this official admired Cai Dao's name after hearing about it, so he gave himself such a Chinese name.

This made Zhao Xu very unhappy when he learned about it, if this official changed his surname to Bao, or let him give the surname Zhao or Song, he could only have the surname Cai. Therefore, after the battle of Lanzhou City, only Wang Zhen and this Cai Yongnian were not given any rewards.

I don't know if the top management of Western Xia has become smarter this time.

The Great Song Dynasty agitated such a big movement along the border of the three routes, but as a result, it did not completely mobilize the Western Xia army as expected by several envoys of the Song army.

According to the news from the detective report, although the Western Xia Kingdom mobilized nine of the twelve military supervision divisions this time.

However, the famous general Ren Duo Baozhong of the Western Xia Dynasty only led the troops of the three supervising military divisions to defend the army of Dunyan Road, and the Song army in the two directions of Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road, because of the presence of Lanzhou City, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang only sent the famous general Wei Ming Ah Wu to lead the troops of a supervising army division to mobile defense around Lanzhou City.

The remaining six troops of the Supervisory Army Division that were mobilized were all under the command of the famous Western Xia general Mei Le Du. These troops are now all placed in front of Huanqing Road.

It seems that this time, the attitude of the Tangut people has been very obvious, they just want to wait for the opportunity to recapture Tiandu Mountain and Hulu River Pass, and capture Pingxia City as much as possible, or delay the progress of the Great Song Dynasty to build other Panbao.

After detecting this situation, Zhang Ji immediately adjusted his previous strategy and immediately adjusted his plan to go to Lanzhou City.

The goal is very simple, not to annihilate the enemy or participate in the siege war, only to block the Western Xia army of the military division of Wei Ming Ah Wu.

Under such a deployment, the Qin Fenglu army and the forbidden army only need to face the remaining defenders of Lanzhou City, and now, it only depends on whether the third-generation general of the breed is a good general with real talent and learning, or Zhao Kuo who can only talk on paper.

After learning the enemy's intelligence, Chong Jianzhong was both excited and a little impatient, but he was not worried or afraid.

Back then, when he was a magistrate in Xizhou, he had been paying attention to Lanzhou City, and it can be said that if the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty captured Lanzhou City, the entire Xihe Road would no longer be disturbed by the Western Xia Army.

Seizing the opportunity, Chong Jianzhong immediately led Qin Fenglu and an elite army of the forbidden army, with a total of 30,000 troops to Lanzhou City.

It is not easy for these troops to take Lanzhou City. However, since the Western Xia Kingdom captured Lanzhou City in the Yuanfeng year, it has not spent much energy repairing the city.

On the one hand, it was because the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was busy consolidating her rule, and on the other hand, the Western Xia Kingdom was small and poor, and she could not afford to repair the city on a large scale.

Knowing that if the Western Xia Kingdom discovered the intentions of the Song army, it would definitely make great efforts to rescue Lanzhou City, but Chong Jianzhong still calmed down and used the most troublesome and most effective way to reduce the loss of troops ,—— attack and harass all night.

After the siege began, this method did not cause large-scale casualties on both the defenders of Lanzhou City and the Song army, but the method of planting and building made the defenders of Lanzhou City feel a big headache.

Harassment day and night, although the 30,000 Song army is not much, it is enough to just do such a thing.

As a result, when the Western Xia State sent the nearest army of the Supervisor Division to Lanzhou City, the city had already changed hands and became a barrier against the Western Xia Kingdom's invasion of Xihe Road.

The various roads on the Western Xia border also became careless because of the loss of Lanzhou City.

In addition to the unmoved army of Huanqing Road Zhangqi, the young generals of Yanyan Road only used 10,000 forbidden troops to attack Hongzhou City and successfully took this important city under the Hengshan Mountain in Western Xia in one fell swoop.

After Cai Bian got the news, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the three-way soldiers and horses to immediately aid Hongzhou, since Zhang Qi was temporarily restrained hand and foot, he Cai Bian did not mind taking on the task of the main attack.

After receiving the response, there was Longzhou who led the army to attack by surprise.

After that, Cai Bian rushed to repair Futu Village on the border to further consolidate the defense of the Wuding River and the Dali River, and first sent troops to strengthen the defense of Wuyankou, which was the main way for the army of the Western Xia Kingdom to invade Yan'an. Coupled with Longzhou and Hongzhou in hand, in the strategic area of eastern Hengshan, the Yanyan Road Army completely occupied the initiative.

When the border stabilized, Cai Bian also built a strong camp at Wuyankou.

Among the border envoys, Cai Bian is inferior to Zhang Qi in terms of military strategy, and he is not as good as Zhang Lei in terms of governance. Not only was it well-organized and effective, but it also acted quickly, and the speed of building the Panbao was even faster than that of the Western Army.

Perhaps under the influence of Cai Dao, Cai Bian was very good to the people of Yanyan Road who were recruited, not only with enough food and clothing, but also with enough wages. Once he received a report from someone that the officials or generals were corrupt and perverted the law, he immediately dealt with these people with a heavy hand, killing those who should be killed, and the flow of those who should be flowing, was even more severe than what Fan Zhongyan said about crying at the beginning.

Under such circumstances, the overall situation of Yanyan Road is done well, the soldiers are attentive, the officials use their strength, and work together, before the spring ploughing, they actually completed the construction of Futu Village, the two villages on the Wuding River, and the village next to Wuyankou.

Therefore, the Yanyan Road is also the only way in the Western Army to catch up with spring ploughing.

Of course, it was only after the fact that the second surprise attack on Longzhou in the Breeder was a bit too rash.

It is only a little bit worse, and Longzhou City will be defended by the army of Jiayou Supervision Army. Because the generals led by the Jiayou Supervision Military Division were still worried that there would be problems in their defense area, he quietly led his troops to withdraw when he found that Longzhou City had been lost.

If, at that time, this general could attack Longzhou City with all his strength, the seed division would definitely turn the victory into defeat and completely bury the 10,000 forbidden troops under his command in Longzhou City.

However, Cai Bian didn't care about this matter, but just told the seed master a few words to make him more careful in the future.

In order to attract more troops of the Western Xia Kingdom to shift their attention to Yan Yan Road, Cai Bian carefully gave Zhang Qi a careful explanation, wanting to adjust the eight thousand cavalry of the Western Xia Kingdom to quickly penetrate the Yinzhou side, and the Fuzhou Zhi family also sent troops at the same time to attract the attention of the army of the Shenyong Supervisor of the Left Wing of the Western Xia Kingdom. And the army of Zhe Keshi is not in charge of blocking the enemy this time, but only needs to keep an eye on the army that has come to the aid of Yinzhou.
