After the first battle of Xingqing Mansion, the Jingyuan, Xihe, and Huanqing troops under the leadership of Chongshidao, Liu Fa, and Liu Zhongwu not only broke through Xingqing Mansion, but also captured the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, and the soldiers and horses of Yanyan Road under Liu Yanqing not only failed to block the breakthrough of the Western Xia people, but lost their troops and generals. et

Liu Yanqing has a feeling that he has been calculated, why did the Xixia people break through from the east gate of their own siege only from the south gate, west gate, and north gate, but this is only Liu Yanqing's suspicion and speculation, if he really investigates it carefully, the first ugly thing is himself, and now his reputation as a jealous person has already spread in the military camp, and even the soldiers under his command have dissatisfied with themselves.

Because of this, Liu Yanqing was so annoyed that he didn't even enter Xingqing Mansion, and his subordinates were stationed outside Xingqing Mansion.

Yesterday evening, there was a sound of fighting in Xingqing Mansion City, but Liu Yanqing had already sent troops to the city to check, and the casualties of his soldiers in the battle at the east gate of Xingqing Mansion had exceeded 30%, and there was not much combat effectiveness.

……

On the afternoon of the third day of the riot of Western Xia prisoners of war, another figure was ushered in in the marshal mansion of the Xingqing Mansion, and Yao Gu, the pacification envoy of Hedong Road, and his 40,000 soldiers under his command.

The Western Xia invaded the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was restraining it, just like the trouble of elbows and armpits. Although the work of destroying Xia is not said to be the world, it is also unique in the hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has rushed to catch up, but he is still a step late, and he heard the news of the occupation of Xingqing Mansion on the road, watching this credit slip away from his fingers in vain, Yao Guxin will inevitably not feel a little sour.

However, Yao Guxin is still a little happy, although the Yao family did not have anything to do with this merit, but Liu Yanqing is still lucky, although he did not participate in the battle of Xingqing Mansion, it can be said that there is no merit or fault, and Liu Yanqing participated in this war.

"Yao led his corporal to reinforce the four masters, who expected that Xiazhou would snow heavily for several days, and the ground was more than half a foot of snow, Yao was still one step late!" In front of the Shuai Mansion, Yao Gu arched his hand with a wry smile on his face, his expression was mixed with a little jealousy, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that Yao is not blessed with this miracle of pouring the sky......

"It's really helpless for me to wait for this move!" The planter shook his head and said.

Liu Fa also said on the side: "The attack on Xingqing Mansion was originally to be carried out after the arrival of Tong Shuai, but when the army grain and grass were on fire in Yongzhou, the remaining army food was only enough for six days, so we had to launch an attack on Xingqing Mansion in advance, and Xingqing Mansion could be broken in one fell swoop, which I never expected!" ”

While the few people in the seed master were talking, they did not forget to ridicule Liu Yanqing, which made Liu Yanqing angry and speechless, even Yao Guxin also laughed secretly.

After the five border marshals in the northwest talked and greeted, Le Tiancai bowed forward and said: "Xiaguan Lotte has seen the old man Jingluo!" ”

Holding his hands weakly, Yao Gu signaled to Lotte not to be polite, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, Leshu is not only dignified at a young age, but also has a handsome talent and a strategic mind, it is said that this summer extermination is commanded by Leshu!" ”

"The old man laughed, the subordinate is just giving advice under the side marshals, and he really doesn't command the word!" Lotte said with a smile, and then said: "Xiaguan has been in the northwest for more than half a year this year, and he has heard the name of Ling Lang. ”

"Where does the music book say, it is similar to the book, and the dog is insignificant!" Yao Gu heard Lotte boast about his adopted son Yao Pingzhong, and his heart was also overjoyed, obviously with the intention of lifting himself.

Yao and the two families have always been unconvinced of each other, that is, Yao Gu's talent in leading troops to fight is also slightly inferior to the Dao of the Seed Master, only his adopted son Yao Pingzhong is proud of him, and none of the children of the next generation of the Seed Master Dao can get Yao Pingzhong.

"This time to destroy the summer, the merit of music books is second to none, and it is not impossible to seal the marquis!" Yao Gu deliberately elevated his friendship with Lotte, and then smiled again: "It's just that the old man is a step late, and I can't see Leshu like Mr. Wolong, the prime minister of Shu Han, who strategized and killed Xia in the middle of talking and laughing!" ”

"Yao Shuai's words are serious, how dare the lower officials be with the great sages of the ancients!" Lotte hurriedly replied, and then said: "At present, the destruction of Xia has not ended, there are Dingzhou, Baima Qiangshun Military Division, Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division in the north of Xingqing Mansion, and there are even more soldiers and horses on the Xialiao border that have not lost a single inch of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, in addition to the Yan Military Division, Xiping Military Division, and Gansu Military Division in Heishui Town in the territory of the Xia people, all of them are in the hands of the Xia people, and you still have a long way to go!" ”

While speaking, Yao Gu was also looking at Lotte, although it was the first time to meet, his heart was very clear, the young man in front of him must not be treated by ordinary people, as a famous family in Shaanxi, the Yao family has a lot of officials in the court, and there are many relationships between the family in the court, although I have heard some rumors about Lotte, but I have not taken Lotte to heart.

Until this year, Lotte returned to the dynasty in Hangzhou, opened a Chinese ticket number, and then abolished Li Bangyan and Geng Nanzhong, who were the prince's right-hand men, which attracted Yao Gu's attention, and also made Lotte sit on the identity of King Yun's henchmen, and also made Yao Gu attach importance to Lotte.

This year, from Lotte to Xihe until this summer, Yao Gu paid more and more attention to Lotte, knowing that Lotte had a good relationship with the seed master, and it was a life-saving grace for Liu Fa. In view of this, if you can make friends with Lotte, you must make friends, and if you can't get friends, you must not be guilty.

Although the Yao family is not in harmony with the seed family, Yao Gu also looks down on Liu Yanqing from the bottom of his heart, not only is the seed master not liked by Tong Guan, but even Yao Gu is also hated by Tong Guan, the reason is similar to the seed master road, Yao and the seed family are generally Shaanxi giant family, the wealthy people are arrogant because of their birth, speech and behavior, this kind of person looks down on Tong Guan as a eunuch, and naturally he is not liked by Tong Guan.

The five-way expedition to the summer, from Tong Guan's arrangement of troops, it can be seen that Tong Guan likes and dislikes the five generals, because of the defeat of Tong'an City, the relationship between Tong Guan and Liu Fa has a rift, so Liu Fa's Xihe Road in the northwest to contain the main force of the Xia army stationed in Zhuo Luocheng and even from Liangzhou and Gansu Military Division, so that Liu Fa's merits cannot be shown.

The road is based on the Dao of the Seed Master and Liu Zhongwu as the main attack, although Tong Guan has never liked the Dao of the Planter, but he has to admit the ability of the Dao of the Seed Master to lead the army to fight; And transferred Yao Gu to Hedong Road, in order to contain the Xiangyou Military Division and the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division stationed in the eastern part of Western Xia, these two military divisions are extremely difficult to gnaw hard bones, so that Yao Gu to contain these two military divisions is clearly doing thankless work, winning the war, the credit of the battle to destroy Xia has little to do with it, if it loses, it will not be dealt with.

As for putting Liu Yanqing on Yan Yan Road, the meaning of this is intriguing, in terms of the ability of the five border marshals to lead the troops to fight, Liu Yanqing is definitely the existence at the bottom, not to mention Liu Fa and Seed Master Dao, that is, Yao Gu and Liu Zhongwu, the difference is not only one level, but he has the best relationship with Tong Guan, and he is also the person directly controlled by Tong Guan.

Sending troops from Yanyan Road, Yao Gu can be supported to the east, and Liu Zhongwu can be on the side to the west, and the Xia army of Hongzhou and Jianing Military Division in front is not the strongest, as long as the Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu fight all the way, Liu Yanqing can fight a tailwind battle and compete with the Seed Master Dao and the two of them to grab merit, and in fact Liu Yanqing also did this.

……

On the occasion of the handsome greetings on the side of the road in Shuaifu, Xu Jiang came to Lotte's side and whispered a few words, which immediately made Lotte's eyes narrow.

With a confession to the five-way handsome, Lotte went out of the lobby of the marshal's mansion, and Xu Jiang followed out.

"Is this news confirmed?" Lotte asked in a low voice.

"If you go back to your lordship, the news is very confirmed!" General Xu replied: "According to these captured Xia royal families, some people saw that Li Renbao, the prince of the Xia people, took advantage of the battle between the two armies, and changed the number of soldiers and soldiers to mix with the defeated army. ”

"If that's the case, that's fine...... Lotte nodded, "It's just that the little kind of Jingluo didn't completely annihilate the Xia army, in addition to the more than 1,000 horsemen who fled with Li Qianshun, there are also many Xia troops who are fleeing in chaos, and the possibility of Li Renbao becoming a leaky fish is not small." ”

General Xu hurriedly said: "The lowly post has strictly ordered the secret agents stationed in the Xia Realm to investigate and track down Li Renbao's whereabouts!" ”

……

Since the Five Roads Expedition, the Song army has consumed a lot, and the Xingqing Mansion is even more tired, and now while resting and waiting for Tong Guan's arrival, even Dingzhou, which is close at hand, has not been captured.

......On this day, Xu Jiang hurriedly came to the lobby of the Shuaifu to find Lotte and stopped talking.

"Let's talk about it!" The handsome on the five roads are all sitting in the lobby of the Shuaifu, how can Lotte avoid it.

General Xu said with a helpless look on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Shu, according to my report from the investigation of Dingzhou, on the third day of the capture of Xingqing Mansion for our army, Li Renbao, the prince of Xia State, secretly fled to Dingzhou, and is now leading the Xia army stationed in Dingzhou to flee north......"

Lotte couldn't help but squint his eyes and asked, "Is this news reliable?" ”

"The news is very reliable!" Xu Jiang replied.

"There will be a scourge in the end!" Hearing this, the planter sighed.

Liu Zhongwu's face was also solemn: "Although the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, the appeal of this leaky fish and the waves that have been stirred up are not to be underestimated......

"Dingzhou City is small and can't stop our army at all, and Li Renbao is right to retreat." Liu Fa nodded and said, and then it became meaningful: "It's okay to fall north of the Xia Kingdom, and with the strength of our army, we will definitely be able to overcome it in one fell swoop, but the west of the Xia Kingdom is remote and desolate, which is really not conducive to my Great Song Dynasty expedition, and it is even more difficult to capture Li Renbao." ”

The appeal of a prince is huge for those Xia people who are anti-Song, as long as Li Renbao does not die, the flame of rebellion against the Great Song Dynasty in this part of Western Xia will not be extinguished.
