"Disciple to meet Master."

Zhao Shu first accepted Wang Ning'an's salute, and then greeted him with a teacher's salute, and then raised his head, he suddenly found that his master, Wang Xianggong, who was originally generous and dashing like jade, had red eyes at the moment, dark circles under his eyes, and his face was full of shallow stubble, looking vicissitudes and haggard.

The little prince couldn't help but feel heartache, "Master, you have suffered. ”

Wang Ningan shook his head, "This is the duty of a minister, Your Highness, you shouldn't come." Wang Ning'an is also very troubled in his heart at the moment, these days, messy things are all entangled, and all the gods and goddesses are all inserted into a bar.

Frankly speaking, Wang Ningan has some opinions about Uncle Zhao, but Wang Ningan also knows that someone is a fox and a tiger, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and making things worse, and Zhao Zhen cannot be completely blamed.

When the crown prince came, apparently in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that it was the emperor who bowed to him.

As a courtier, he is so powerful, how should he deal with himself next...... There are countless examples in the history books, not to mention far away, how their old Zhao family won the throne, who doesn't know?

Anyway, no matter how much tacit understanding there is between the monarch and the minister, a deep crack appeared, not only Zhao Zhen was jealous of Wang Ningan, but even Wang Ningan himself had to think about it...... If he can remain indifferent, then he is not a normal person!

Fortunately, the prince is here, if Zhao Zhen directly gives an edict, or sins himself, it will be even more out of control!

Seeing that the master was full of embarrassment, Zhao Shu thought and said: "Please don't worry, the father sent the disciples over to explain some misunderstandings to the master, and the overall situation in the northwest is still under the master's full control, and the father and the disciples, all trust the master." ”

Wang Ningan groaned and smiled.

Although the estrangement exists, it is obvious that it will not break out immediately, the overall situation of the northwest, the overall situation of the imperial court, and the alternation of the old and the new imperial power...... All kinds of entanglements, whether it is Zhao Zhen or Wang Ningan, they can't afford to turn their faces.

In that case, let's take care of the matter in front of us first, and as for the rest, wait until the battle is over!

"Thank you for the trust of the saint, it is also because the ministers are not strict in their restraints and the military regulations are lax, so there is a big problem, and the ministers will write to ask for guilt."

Zhao Shu didn't answer, but said: "Master, since the war started in the northwest, the information that the secret spy department and you sent to your father is not the same...... In addition, the father did make a secret decree, but this decree was for the sake of the seeds, and they had no other meaning to cooperate with the Qincha to visit. ”

What Zhao Shu said is also weak-hearted, what does it mean to have no other meaning, it is not to guard against Wang Ning'an!

This kind of thing, it doesn't matter what you do secretly, once you find out, it will inevitably hurt your feelings.

But in the current situation, it is impossible not to be clear.

In just a few sentences, the two biggest mysteries are clearly explained, Zhao Zhen's misjudgment of the northwest originated from the secret spy department...... The secret spy department was set up by the emperor himself, and they were all eunuchs from the inner court, and it stands to reason that they are Uncle Zhao's henchmen, how could these people cheat Uncle Zhao?

Is it because of greed, or is there another reason...... Wang Ningan didn't know what was going on for a while.

The other one is why the two Qincha can mobilize people!

The relationship between the family army and Wang Ning'an is good, but as a local emperor, the family army is not a subsidiary of Wang Ning'an, they have their own interests, and it is understandable to strike a balance between the emperor and Wang Ning'an.

Of course, their actions can be seen as stepping on two boats, but Wang Ningan has no intention of seeking full blame.

The top priority at the moment is to save people as soon as possible, and don't fall into the conspiracy of Western Xia!

Wang Ning'an had already sent Di Qing north, and he couldn't follow him anymore, so he had to let Liang Dagang lead 5,000 people to continue to the north to respond, and at the same time mobilize all forces to explore the battle in the direction of Lingzhou...... Just when Wang Ningan was worried and restless, Lingzhou had already decided the winner.

Gao Zunyu and 30,000 horses were all wiped out.

Three kinds of defeated generals with remnants, fighting and retreating, from all directions, everywhere were the captured armies of Western Xia, endless.

At the most dangerous moment, Di Qing finally arrived with his men.

Di Qing took the lead, broke through the encirclement of Western Xia, and escaped death in three ways. Don't mention how embarrassing it is.

"Di Xianggong, the last general will be guilty, please punish Di Xianggong!"

"Forget it, everything will wait until I return to Hongzhou and see Wang Xianggong."

Di Qing glanced at it and hurriedly asked, "What about the two Qincha?" Where have they gone? ”

"This ...... Gao Zunyu has already been killed, as for Gonggong Tan, he, he ......"

As he was talking, a few soldiers were covered in blood and drove a horse over, and there was a person tied to the horse's back, it was Tan Xian! This guy commanded indiscriminately and brought the army to the Jedi, and all the soldiers hated him.

Let him die, that's cheap him!

You must bring Tan Xian back to the northwest, hand it over to Wang Xianggong, and concoct it well, and see what kind of calculation he has to make everyone so miserable!

Seeing Tan Xian, Di Qing gritted his teeth.

Okay, and the culprit was left!

"Listen, you must protect him well, tens of thousands of other people from Western Xia have been captured, don't let him die!"

"Yes!"

Two hundred people were separated and looked at Tan Xian.

Di Qing beckoned to all the horses and quickly retreated.

But at this time, Liang Yibury had already gotten the news that Di Qing had appeared.

This can make Liang Yi very happy, he played the trick of deception, and the trap he designed was to deal with Wang Ning'an, but it turned out to be Gao Zunyu.

The specs of catching the phoenix and killing a sparrow are really disappointing.

Fortunately, there was another peacock, which could kill Di Qing, and it was enough to rub Song Jun's sharpness, at least he was much heavier than Wang De's weight.

The centaurs of Western Xia were like crazy, and they were everywhere.

Di Qing's eyes were also red, no matter what, he couldn't let the Tanguts annihilate them all.

Di Qing waved his horse lance and rushed to the front, followed closely by the brothers behind. The soldiers and generals of Western Xia, no one could stop Di Qing's move, they swarmed up, and they couldn't even slow down Di Qing's speed.

In this way, 20,000 horses, protecting the remnants of the breeder army, quickly retreated south. They broke through layers of obstacles, trampled on the corpses of the enemy, and no one could stop them.

When Liang Yiburi heard that Di Qing had broken through, he was immediately furious.

He also spelled!

The Song army is sharp, and Di Qing is good at fighting, but you are not iron men after all, and it will take six or seven days to escape from Lingzhou back to the Great Song Dynasty at the earliest, I see if you can always be so brave!

Liang Yibury quickly changed his strategy, and he divided his troops into three routes, like a poisonous snake, and pursued the Song army not far away. When they saw Song Jun resting, or eating, or replenishing water, they pounced.

When the Song army hurried, they fell behind, often running out to shoot cold arrows and play sneak attacks.

After only two days, the Song army was exhausted.

Fortunately, Di Qing followed Wang Ning'an's advice and brought more war horses and dry food, but all the soldiers could only eat on horseback, and when they were sleepy, they could only nap on horseback, and they were stretched all day long, and their physical strength and energy were quickly consumed.

On the third day, some men ran and fell off their horses.

Di Qing had to give the order for the brothers to tie themselves to their horses with ropes.

But even so, in the face of the endless attacks of Western Xia, the losses were still amazing.

There were less than 10,000 people in the army, and among the three, the seed was the most seriously injured and had passed out in a coma and had to be pulled by a carriage.

He was hit in the chest by a throwing axe, and he vomited blood, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

There is only a kind of diagnosis, and there is still some combat effectiveness, but it is also extremely tired.

As for Di Qing's side, almost seven or eight thousand brothers died, although they fought a lot of Western Xia people, but the losses on both sides were not at the same level at all.

Di Qing's face was very ugly, it can be said that in the past ten years, Da Song has never lost so many people!

The emperor's thoughts, the people below did such a thing, and they actually caused such a big harm, which is really heartbreaking!

They ran for three days, people were sleepy, and although they were getting closer and closer to the Great Song Dynasty, everyone's hearts were clouded.

The Western Xia had just divided their troops into five routes and attacked the Song army.

Di Tan commanded his brothers and used his divine arm crossbow to shoot back the Tangut men.

However, in a hurry, the backup was not enough, and the arrows of the god's arm crossbow were less than three, and at most one more day of support, the gunpowder and fire oil were also lost.

What's worse is that the food and water are gone, and if it goes on like this, I really don't know what to do?

Seeding, seeding dragged the tired body and met Di Qing.

"Di Xianggong, so far, only our brothers have stayed behind to block the people and horses of Western Xia, Di Xianggong, if you can bring the second brother back, the last general will be grateful."

When he got to the point of excitement, he coughed twice, with blood in his phlegm.

Di Qing shook his head slightly, "General, Liang Yi is buried and pursued, he just wants Di's life." After Di breaks off with 3,000 people tomorrow, you will retreat as soon as possible, and with Di's ability, you can still do it if you delay for a day or two. Wang Xianggong will definitely arrange the men and horses to receive you, and you can retreat with confidence. ”

"No!"

He shook his head violently, and coughed again.

"We listened to the agitation of the eunuchs, and even followed the troops to grab the merits, but we didn't expect to end up like this, what face do we have to see the prince? Even if you go back alive, it will inevitably be condemned by the court, and it is better to die in battle! ”

He said angrily, a soldier came to report, and the Xixia people came up again!

Di Qing gritted his anger and shattered his teeth, "What a group of poisonous snakes, I fought with them!" He gave his son Di Tan a look and asked him to protect the brothers of the seed family and retreat, and Di Qing personally cut off the back.

This is the most brutal battle in Di Qing's life, the people and horses of Western Xia are like a tide, killing one wave, and another wave, endlessly, and the killing cannot be finished.

His horse's lance broke, his saber curled, and even his horse reached its limit and fell to the ground...... At this moment, Di Qing looked extremely calm, isn't the death of her husband on the battlefield, isn't it exactly what she wants!

Die a well-deserved death, quickly, quickly!

At this moment, suddenly a group of people with black flags and bright armor appeared, and as soon as they appeared, they scared the Western Xia people and horses into a mess!

Liang Dagang is a fierce general who started with Wang Liangjing, and Wang Ningan also wants to respect him as Uncle Gang. Liang Dagang fought hard, the cavalry was like a mountain, the spears were like a forest, and he killed countless Western Xia men and horses, he rushed to the center and rescued Di Qing.

At this time, Di Qing already had several wounds on his body, and there were arrows inserted into his shoulders and thighs, but fortunately, the injuries were not fatal!

Liang Dagang protected Di Qing, fought and retreated, and after two days, they finally returned to Hongzhou...... Of the 70,000 troops, only 6,000 fled back, 20,000 reinforcements, half of which were lost, and almost all of the generals and soldiers who came back alive were wounded...... This loss is too heavy!
