Yelu Dashi's caution was not entirely unreasonable, because at this time, there was a cavalry hiding in the vast grassland northwest of Wuzhou, and this cavalry was like a pack of hungry wolves, waiting for the prey to come into sight. It can be said that Yelu Dashi's order avoided the result that Pang He's army fell into the cavalry attack of the Dingguo Army. In the vast grassland, you can't just look at the number of people to determine the victory, a cavalry of several thousand people does not need to find the other side to force, only need to constantly harass, kill hundreds of people at a time, gradually accumulate a lot, maybe the casualties are not too heavy, but for the other party, morale will definitely be deeply hit.

Yelu Dashi is waiting for the day when the river will recede, as long as the water east of the gray river is gone, the Daliao warriors can go directly to Wuzhou City through the stone bridge. Yelu Dashi is unwilling to lose Wuzhou like this, no matter what the reason, Wuzhou City must be recaptured. For this reason, Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and sent an order to Xijing again, ordering Gao Xingyue, the defense envoy of Xijing City, to lead 20,000 infantry to enter Pinglu City, and in the future, cooperate with Pang He's army on the side of the pass, and go south to besiege Wuzhou City together. In order to recapture Wuzhou City, Yelu Dashi can be regarded as a bloody investment. The total number of elites in Daliao near Xijing is more than 130,000, and more than 60,000 will be transferred this time, plus more than 20,000 soldiers and horses who reinforced Huairen and Yingzhou before, as well as the cavalry and cheetah battalion in Xijing, more than 100,000 troops were dispatched this time.

Yelu Dashi was bent on retaking Wuzhou City, Zhao Yougong was clear, but he was not panicked, and with Geng Yi and Ling Zhen coming to Wuzhou City, he was also completely relieved. For this Wuzhou City, he has been planning for a long time and has spent a lot of money. If it can't hit the Liao people hard. That's just bad luck. The sky is going to destroy him, Zhao Yougong.

On the third day of the fifth month of the third year of Xuanhe, when Yelu Hongji heard the news of the destruction of Wuzhou City, he was so shocked that he didn't come back for a long time. In recent years, the Jurchens have risen between the white mountains and black waters, fought with the Jurchens, won fewer victories and lost more losses, and also lost the Huanglong Mansion and the Huining Mansion for this reason, but Yelu Hongji did not feel too distressed. But the fall of Wuzhou made his heart ache like a pinprick. Wuzhou is too important, there is Wuzhou City standing proudly in the southwest of Daliao, the northern land of the Great Song Dynasty has to be on guard from time to time, and the Xixia people do not have the courage to go north to occupy the Jungar grassland, because the threat of the elite soldiers in Wuzhou City is too great, and no one will be stupid enough to resist Wuzhou City.

After a hundred years of construction, the southwest town was lost, what did Yelu Dashi do? Also, who is that Zhao Yougong, and when did the Song people have such a figure who can fight?

Yeluhon didn't know much about the art of war. But he still knows that Daliao can't do without Wuzhou, without Wuzhou. In the future, they will be passive, at least, the Tangut people will have a lot less constraints. After a while, he wrote a letter, called the guards, and earnestly ordered, "Go to Xijing quickly, tell Yelu Dashi, no matter what the price is, you must recapture Wuzhou City for me." ”

No one can understand how important the status of Wuzhou City is in the hearts of the Liao people, in short, hearing the news of the fall of Wuzhou, the Liao State was in an uproar, and many people thought it was a joke. The Han people were beaten to the ground, who could take Wuzhou City?

There was an uproar in the Liao Kingdom, and the same was true in Bianliang City, holding the urgent report in his hand, Zhao Ji was shocked and angry, and finally there was a burst of fear, that nephew actually defeated Wuzhou City, what kind of power has he swelled over the years? Zhao Ji has been staying in Nuanxiang Pavilion to recuperate these days, so after the urgent report came, Concubine Liu also got the news. At this time, Concubine Liu was shocked, her beautiful eyes were fluttering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhao Yougong actually defeated Wuzhou City, the power is so great, does the official family dare to kill Zhu Lian and Li Shishi? The answer is no, the greater Zhao Yougong's power, the more Zhao Ji dare not kill Zhu Lian, he needs something to contain that nephew.

How important Wuzhou City is to the Liao people, even Zhao Ji, a person who does not understand military affairs, knows that in the hearts of the Liao people, Wuzhou City is an impenetrable fortified city, and Wuzhou is not only a northwest fortress, but also the pride of the Liao people. Now that this pride has been broken, can the Liao people give up? Somehow, Zhao Ji was a little more happy, what if the Liao people could recapture Wuzhou and kill that nephew? In this regard, the Liao people have helped him a lot.

The smile on Zhao Ji's face naturally couldn't escape Xiao Liufei's eyes, looking at that smile, Xiao Liufei's heart rose with an unprecedented feeling of nausea. It turned out that the official family was unbearable to such a point, even if he was at odds with Zhao Yougong, it was a family matter, and now Zhao Yougong and the Liao people are facing the northwest, and the official family will not help, and they even want to get rid of Zhao Yougong by the hands of the Liao people. It's really unreasonable, is the official family so confused that they can't tell which is more important between Wuzhou City and Zhao Yougong?

Of course, Zhao Ji couldn't tell which was more important, and if he could distinguish it clearly, he would not have joined forces with the Jurchens to attack Daliao.

Just when the situation in the northwest was abruptly changing, the Song soldiers near Gaoyang on Hebei East Road had no time to take care of the affairs of the northwest, and at this time, Tong Guan's army of more than 100,000 was under the pressure of nearly 100,000 Liao soldiers in Nanjing. On the first day of the first month of May, the Great Liao Nanjing garrisoned, and the Qin and Jin Dynasty King Yeluchun sent Xiao Qian, the commander of the Ma Army, and Ye Yi, the commander of the Ma Army, to lead 20,000 troops to garrison the Yongding River, and on the same day, in order to resist the pressure of the Great Liao soldiers and horses, Tong Guan sent a commander to make Wang Ping lead 30,000 people to garrison the south bank of the Yongding River. For a while, Song Liao's tens of thousands of troops looked at each other across the river, and the atmosphere was tense, and at this delicate moment, Wang Ping did another stupid thing.

Near the Yongding River, there are many villages, many residents, Wang Ping had a whim, he planned to surrender according to what was written in the emperor's text, Wang Ping thought well, sent people to surrender everywhere, but did not recruit a few people, but completely angered the Liao people on the north bank. In fact, Xiao Qian and Ye Yi didn't plan to really fight, and they were stationed in Yongding River, but they only expanded the defense line and defended Nanjing. Some things in the world are like this, if you do it secretly, maybe others will turn a blind eye out of various considerations, but if you come openly, out of face problems, you must stop it. At this time, Xiao Qian felt that he had to do something, if the Han people dug the foot of the wall under their noses, then wouldn't he want to die?

On the first day of the fifth month, Xiao Qianqin led 4,000 elite soldiers to cross the river at night, and broke through the Song soldiers' camp by surprise. Maybe it's because Xiang'an has been quiet for too many days, the defense in the camp is lax, as soon as the camp is breached, many Song soldiers panicked directly, and fled out in a panic one by one, and were directly chased by Xiao Gan and watched all the way. It is also Wang Ping's incompetence, if he could quickly organize one of his men to fight the Liao, Xiao Qian would have already collected his troops and went back, who would have thought that Wang Pingguang would have thought about running for his life. More than 4,000 people ran after the 30,000 army, running all the way for more than ten miles, killing and wounding more than 6,000 people. To achieve such a big result, even Xiao Qian himself did not expect it.

Wang Ping did not dare to flee back to Gaoyang directly, but rested in the area of Rongcheng, and stayed until dawn, he didn't know where his self-confidence came from, so he turned around and continued to fight with the Liao soldiers, but at this time the Liao people had occupied the camp on the south bank, relying on the geographical advantage, and the number was not at a disadvantage. This time, Wang Ping escaped more completely, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but he ran faster than a rabbit, and the Liao soldiers chased his ass and slashed all the way. Maybe he deserved Wang Ping's fate, and on the way to escape, he met Yang Weizhong and Zhao Ming who were stationed at Baigou River, and Zhao Ming and Yang Weizhong gathered thousands of generals and fought hard for half an hour before they blocked the Liao people's offensive. Maybe he felt embarrassed, Wang Ping didn't know if his brain was in the water or he was knocked out by the Liao, so he led 5,000 people across the Baigou River and went north, in Wang Ping's words, this was unexpected.

Zhao Ming and Yang Weizhong naturally didn't allow it, but Wang Ping Zhenzhen had words, and grabbed others every sentence, so that Yang Weizhong dropped the sentence "Lack of erection and conspiracy", and led his troops and horses back to the south bank of the Baigou River, as for Zhao Ming, he was not so lucky. Zhao Ming is also a veteran of the battlefield, but his position is only a propaganda envoy, Wang Ping ordered Zhao Ming in the name of a commander, and Zhao Ming could not disobey.

After crossing the Baigou River, Zhao Ming felt that something was wrong, and immediately retreated, which completely angered Wang Ping, facing this man who was more than ten years older than himself, Wang Ping jumped to his feet and scolded, "You and I are working hard for the king's affairs, when life and death are put aside, so forward-looking, afraid of this and that, how can it be a big thing?" ”

Hearing Wang Ping's words, Zhao Ming scolded his mother in his heart, what the hell, who is the guy who just escaped like a dog?

"General Wang, now we only have a few thousand people in our hands, and further north, we will fall into the hinterland of the Liao army, if the Liao people have an ambush, won't we have to annihilate the whole army?"

"Zhao Ming, Wang Mou thinks that you are also a veteran, and you will be given face everywhere, don't be ignorant. You and I are both good generals of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? Brothers, if you want to make meritorious contributions, follow the generals and kill those Khitan barbarians! ”

At this time, Wang Ping raised his knife to the sky, indescribably mighty, Zhao Ming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, if he could, he really wanted to cut Wang Ping with a knife. There is Baigou River and the location is not used, so I went to the north to find the Liao people to die, just in case

Before he could finish thinking about it, there was a loud laugh, and a Liao general holding a Zhangba snake spear rushed out on horseback, and behind him were all Liao cavalry. Hey, Zhao Ming didn't know what to say, what he was worried about just now was that the Liao people would send cavalry, but he really guessed it. No matter how loud Wang Ping shouted slogans, in short, when he fled for his life, General Wang was always the first.

"Brothers, block it," shouted while Wang Ping ran towards the Baigou River, in desperation, Zhao Ming could only personally lead the troops to meet the enemy, with 5,000 infantry facing more than 3,000 cavalry, the result can be imagined.

Zhao Ming stretched out his hand and was seriously injured in several places, and after paying heavy casualties, he finally led the remnants of the army to retreat to the Baigou River, but Ye Yi refused to let go of the opportunity, and directly sent troops to attack the Song soldiers in the area of the Baigou River, so far, a big battle inevitably happened.
