Jingzhou, Yongzhou, and Huaizhou are lined up from southwest to northeast along the flow of the Yellow River, becoming the last barrier for Xingqing to guard against the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty from the southeast.

Originally, the three cities could support each other and became the last barrier against the Song army, but because of the unexpected loss of Jingzhou, the Western Xia had to give up the operation of this barrier to protect Xingqing Mansion, because at this time the Western Xia had no extra soldiers and horses to be deployed to seize Jingzhou with the Song army, and did not want to see the soldiers and horses of Yongzhou and Huaizhou being eaten by the Song army one by one, so they transferred all these soldiers and horses back to defend Xingqing Mansion.

In the middle of these three cities, Yongzhou City is the closest to Xingqing Mansion, but it is only thirty-five miles away, and it is the most suitable place to use it as a station for Shuaifu.

The next day, more than 30,000 people from Yanyan Road came to Yongzhou, and Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi, father and son, also met with Lotte, Liu Fa and others in the city's marshal mansion.

Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Yanqing and others have all been leading troops in the northwest for many years and are very familiar with each other, but this time they got together, although they all had smiles on their faces, they became more and more strange in private, and even the three-way generals who followed Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa, and Liu Zhongwu looked at Liu Yanqing and his son with indifference and disdain in their eyes.

Such a scene made Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi, father and son, extremely embarrassed.

After seeing the ceremony, the four road handsomes sat down together, and Lotte also sat on an equal footing with the four road handsomes.

When Lotte sat down, Liu Yanqing noticed Lotte, and saw that Lotte was on an equal footing with himself, and he was already on an equal footing with him, and he was even more unhappy at this time, and even in Liu Yanqing's eyes, it seemed that a hairy boy like Lotte was on an equal footing with himself, and it was a deliberate insult to himself by the three of them.

Liu Guangshi, who was standing behind Liu Yanqing, saw that Lotte, an official younger than himself, was actually sitting with the border marshals, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then saw that the generals who were older than him were also standing aside, and felt that he could take the opportunity to hit Lotte, which could resonate more with the generals, and let the generals of Huanqing, Jingyuan, and Xihe dispel a lot of indifference to their father and son.

Although the imperial court emphasizes literature and light military force, but the northwest has been fighting for many years, and the generals have relied on martial arts to win fame, and the set of Biandu Wenzun and Wuhui is not implemented in the northwest, and even civil officials like Lotte are despised by military attachés in the northwest, and Lotte is still a person who is hated by Tong Guan, Liu Guangshi naturally will not mind playing Lotte.

With a decision in his heart, Liu Guangshi opened his mouth and asked Lotte: "I don't know what position this adult occupies, can he be on an equal footing with the border marshal who has made great achievements in the four roads?" ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Guangshi came to attack him first, Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked: "Last month, Le broke the embankment of the Yellow River and the Lingzhou River, and the water irrigated Lingzhou City. ”

Burst......

Hearing Lotte speak like this, many of the Western Army generals present couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he was told by the other party that he had a sore foot, Liu Guangshi's face was immediately extremely ugly, and Liu Yanqing was also extremely embarrassed.

After the laughter fell, Liu Zhongwu was the first to speak: "The imperial court is determined to eliminate the rebels in Lingxia this time and ordered us to wait for the five-way expedition to Xia, but the distance between the soldiers and horses on the Hedong Road under Brother Yao's command is too far, and the original intention of the imperial court is also to let Brother Yao's troops contain the Xia people in the Xiazhou area, so the five-way soldiers and horses cannot be gathered for a while, and now my four-way soldiers and horses are driving straight into the city of Xingqing Mansion to kill themselves, and the Xia Ting will be destroyed ......soon."

"Brother Liu......" Before Liu Zhongwu's voice fell, Liu Yanqing interrupted Liu Zhongwu's words, and then said: "Three masters of Jinglu, Tong Shuai is in charge of the overall situation in the Zhenrong Army at this time, and he will lead the commander to Yongzhou in the near future, and now the Xia people have become trapped beasts, and they can only sit and wait for death. ”

The battle of Shunzhou several times has consumed most of the elite of Western Xia, and now attacking Xingqing Mansion is just a matter of course, as long as it takes some time to take Xingqing Mansion, Liu Yanqing asked everyone to wait, and then fight this last battle when Tong Guan comes, its intention is self-evident.

After listening to Liu Yanqing's words, Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao, and Liu Zhongwu couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all understood in their hearts that Liu Yanqing was obviously praising Tong Guan's stinky feet and patting Tong Guan's fart, but the three of them still had some scruples about Tong Guan in their hearts, and they didn't speak immediately, but set their eyes on Lotte in unison.

After speaking, Liu Yanqing looked proud, and then took a small sip of the tea brewed in front of him, and at the same time looked at the expressions of Liu Fa and Seed Master Dao, and felt that this trick was the most suitable to use at this time, and when they saw Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa and others set their eyes on Lotte, their eyelids twitched a few times.

In terms of ability and strength, which one is not better than himself, Liu Fa, is not better than himself, and he does not have ideas than himself, but at the same time he sets his sights on Lotte, which means that it is extraordinary.

Liu Yanqing's meaning, Lotte naturally knew that when he saw the seed master Dao and others set their eyes on him, Lotte's head couldn't help but get bigger, and in the subconscious, Lotte didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Tong Guan, but it was time to snatch the power of destroying the summer.

From the beginning to the present, almost all of them are directing by themselves, coupled with the cooperation of Liao, which has contributed to the current situation, and Tong Guan has made up his mind from the beginning to join Jin to fight Liao, and he does not agree to cut Xia, and now he must not give up his hard-earned work to kill Xia to that old eunuch and let him leave his name in history.

Thinking of this, Lotte said: "Tong Shuai is old, and it is a cold winter right now, and the northwest summer realm is a bitter cold place, so the lower officials think that Tong Shuai is still in charge of the Zhenrong army to command the overall situation!"

There are seven or eight hundred miles of road from Zhenrong Army to Yongzhou, half of which are difficult mountain roads, and it is now the middle of winter, Tong Shuai needs at least half a month to rush to the front line in Yongzhou, within this half a month, I have a total of more than 140,000 soldiers and horses on the four routes, and the grain and grass consumed are very good, and the rear supply in the middle of winter is even more difficult to maintain, and even this move will delay the fighters! ”

The reasons given by Lotte are very sufficient, and even sufficient to make it impossible to refute them, and Liu Fa and others also nodded when they heard it.

"Lord Le's words are wrong!" Hearing Lotte's words, Liu Yanqing shook his head again and again: "The soldiers and horses of the four roads are not subordinate to each other, and it is inevitable that there will be no leaderless situation when cooperating with the battle. ”

Although he said this, Liu Yanqing was extremely surprised in his heart, this Lotte just swept his face, and it seemed that he didn't put Tong Guan in his eyes.

"Liu Jing is a little too worried!" Lotte also waved his hand and said confidently: "During the previous battle of Xiazhou, the three marshals all acted according to Le's proposal, not only burning the Xia army camp but also defeating the main force of the 100,000 Xia army, until now the Xia people are almost wiped out, and the casualties of our army are negligible." ”

Hearing what Lotte said, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but change his color: "The meaning of Lord Le's words is ...... Did Liu obey Lord Le's command? ”

"Le doesn't dare!" Lotte shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Liu Jingluo is a dignified third-grade official, and he is also a feudal official, and the lower official is just a fourth-grade scholar waiting by His Majesty's side, how dare he give orders to Lord Jinglue." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face showed a little smugness.

Immediately, Lotte changed his voice: "But...... Even if Liu Jingluo did not lead the army in person, Le was confident that with the help of Xihe, Huanqing, and Jingyuan, he would break through Xingqing Mansion and destroy the Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing what Lotte said, Liu Yanqing's face changed color again, and anger surged up on his face, making the green tendons on his forehead abrupt, and even his body couldn't help trembling slightly. And Liu Guangshi, who was standing behind Liu Yanqing, was even more angry, staring at Lotte with two eyes and almost spewing flames.

Lotte's words were almost to the point of revealing his bones, and his disdain was even more overflowing, so he almost sprayed a mouthful of saliva on Liu Yanqing's face, and scolded at the same time: Without you Liu Yanqing Laozi can destroy Western Xia, you Liu Yanqing is the rabbit caught in the Chinese New Year's Eve, with you also for the New Year, without you also for the holiday.

Hearing this, the generals of Xihe, Jingyuan, and Huanqing also laughed secretly in their hearts.

"Report ......" At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the Shuai Hall, and I saw a messenger colonel enter the Shuai Hall, and bowed to the four side marshals and the teachers in the hall and Lotte, and then presented a letter from his arms, saying: "Tong Shuai heard that our army broke the Xia army in Shunzhou and captured Jingzhou. ”

From the Zhenrong army to Yongzhou, the weather is cold at this time, and it takes three days to rely on fast horses to deliver news at the earliest, due to the existence of time difference, Tong Guan only knows that the Song army has captured Jingzhou at this time, and does not know that Yongzhou and Huaizhou are also in the hands of the Song army at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao and others all understood in their hearts, victory was just around the corner, Tong Guan obviously couldn't wait, and came to destroy Xia's credit.

Hearing the report, Liu Yanqing couldn't help laughing, and there was even a little smug in his eyes.

Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu, and the four of them couldn't help frowning, and the four of them knew very well in their hearts that Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan had the best relationship among the five road marshals, Liu Yanqing was picked up by Tong Guan, according to Tong Guan's temperament, he would definitely be embarrassed with Liu Yanqing when he came, maybe even the battle in Shunzhou would let Liu Yanqing rub some oil.

Hearing that Tong Guan was coming, Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa, Liu Yanqing and others immediately felt bored, and even the generals under the command of the three of them felt discouraged.

came to grab the merit, which made Lotte's mood particularly unhappy, and after thinking for a while, Lotte suddenly sneered: "This old gelding is going to come to grab the merit, then before this egg comes, take Xingqing Mansion!" ”
