Although it is relying on speculation and flattery, Liu Yanqing is in a high position along the way. Although the battle was not very good, Liu Yanqing still had some strategic and tactical vision, and the city of Shunzhou represented significance strategically, representing that the last bit of strength that the Western Xia could counterattack was defeated, making the Western Xia completely enter a passive defensive position.

Since then, the territory occupied by the Song army in the Western Xia has become the long-term territory occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Song army is occasionally defeated in the war, the Song army will no longer retreat from the territory of the Western Xia in embarrassment like the five-way war against the Xia during the Shenzong Dynasty forty years ago, so that all the territory of the war will return to the hands of the Western Xia.

In addition, the most important point is that all the remaining forces of Western Xia are shrinking in Xingqing Mansion, even if the Song army does not attack much, just relying on the siege, after a long time, Xingqing Mansion will be self-defeating, Li Qianshun will either raise his hands to surrender, or flee to the northwest, in short, the fall of the Xia Kingdom is imminent.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yanqing opened his mouth and ordered: "Pass on the order of the marshal, set aside the camp and set up the village, and march to Shunzhou!" ”

Standing in Liu Guangshi hurriedly stopped: "Father, don't be in a hurry, at this time we went to Shunzhou, for the posture we take, then Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu and others are all arrogant, it is inevitable that they will not ridicule us verbally......"

"You know a ......" Hearing Liu Guangshi say this, Liu Yanqing, who was in an extremely bad mood, scolded, closed his mouth halfway through the words, and then ordered the little colonel who sent the message: "You go out first!" ”

After the little school went out, Liu Yanqing continued: "Although the Shunzhou war is over, as long as my father leads the army to Shunzhou, relying on the relationship between my father and Tong Shuai, Tong Shuai will also take credit for my father on the good news, if I don't move at this time, Tong Shuai will not be able to favor my father at that time." ”

What does this mean, father? Liu Guangshi was puzzled in his heart, but after thinking about it again, he also understood seven or eight points in his heart, Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan have a close relationship, Liu Guangshi naturally has some understanding of Tong Guan in Liu Yanqing's words, according to Tong Guan's character, he will never allow others to share his power, let alone credit, and this Zhongshu master actually mobilized the three-way marshal to defeat Xia Ren, which not only divided Tong Guan's power, but also stole Tong Guan's limelight, which Tong Guan could not tolerate.

As the so-called common advance and retreat, as long as his father and Tong Guan are connected well, Tong Guan wrote in the report to the imperial court that he sent Liu Yanqing to Shunzhou to reinforce the Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa, and Liu Zhongwu Department, and the Xia army knew that they were not invincible and collapsed, so Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing won a win-win situation, and the credit of the Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa and others was naturally robbed.

"Father is wise!" After figuring out all the joints, Liu Guangshi was busy patting his ass, and then asked: "Father, as far as my son knows, that Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu and others are all arrogant people, how can they obey the command and command of a civil official sent by the imperial court, if the son is not mistaken, the Zhongshu Sheren is only the official rank of the fourth grade, which is three levels smaller than the one way." ”

"In the past few years, my brother has been in the northwest, and I don't know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, I heard that this person has some reliance in Beijing, it seems that he is a person from Liang Shicheng's side, and he came to the northwest this year, and was sent by Tong Guan to Liu Fa's side, and it is said that Liu Fa's victory was planned by this person on the side!" Liu Yanqing thought for a while and said.

"It seems that this person is not simple!" Liu Guangshi said, and then said: "I should wait at this time to care who the Zhongshu Lord is, according to the current situation, Xia Ren is hard to support and can't hold on to next year's New Year's Day, my father should repair a letter with Tong Shuai, and Tong Shuai to explain the pros and cons, if the Zhongshu Lord continues to command, I am afraid that such a great credit for destroying Xia will not have anything to do with Tong Shuai!" ”

"That's what my father thinks!" Liu Yanqing nodded, "If the battle to destroy Xia really continues to be commanded by this Zhongshu people, it will not only affect Tong Shuai's prestige, but even make Tong Shuai dispensable in the northwest!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Guangshi hurriedly instructed the soldiers outside: "Go and get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

Liu Yanqing's father and son knew very well in their hearts that Tong Guan's banner had fallen, and his father and son's biggest reliance in the court would be gone.

On the afternoon of the fifth year of Zhenghe, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong officially appointed Tong Guan to lead the six-way side affairs, and at that moment Tong Guan ordered Liu Yanqing, who was most closely related to him, to lead Han Shizhong and others to fight, but even the castle of the Heavenly Mountain was not taken after a while, after the arrival of Xia reinforcements, Liu Yanqing and Han Shizhong fled back to the Song realm in a hurry, and Liu Yanqing was not held accountable for this failure, all because Tong Guan used his strength in the meantime, and the court did not blame it.

*********************************

In the Shunzhou City Marshal's Mansion, a group of captains and soldiers were busy hugging, putting maps and other things used for combat command into one large box after another, and marking these boxes.

After taking Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City is only more than forty miles away from Xingqing Mansion, and Shuaifu naturally wants to move there. At this moment, Lotte and the four of them were talking and laughing in the courtyard of the Shuaifu, preparing to get out of the Shuaifu and get on the car and go to Jingzhou.

At this time, a small colonel hurriedly walked in, and saluted the seed master Dao, Liu Fa, Lotte and others, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the report from our army scouts, the soldiers and horses stationed on the Lingzhou Heights began to set up camps, and at the same time sent people to collect ferries, which seemed to be coming to Shunzhou!" ”

"The peach picking is coming!" Hearing the report, Lotte smiled.

"What peach-picking?" The planter is puzzled.

Regarding the allusion to peach picking, Lotte naturally couldn't say it, so he had to hide it with a smile: "Picking peaches is the dialect of our hometown, which means to grab the benefits." ”

Liu Fa also said with a smile: "That's right, Liu Yanqing originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, thinking that when I was exhausted, I would suddenly kill and take credit, but I didn't expect that we would solve the Xia Jun on the opposite side so quickly, this guy is very ugly now." ”

Hearing the words of Lotte and Liu Fa, the eyes of the three of Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu, and Seed Master also flashed with contempt for Liu Yanqing. Everyone in the northwest knew very well that if Liu Zhongwu hadn't hugged Tong Guan's thighs tightly, relying on his pitiful military exploits, where would he have sat in the position of the upper Yan Road.

Among the five border marshals, Seed Master Dao and Yao Gu were both born in a giant room in Shaanxi, and they were arrogant and looked down on Tong Guan in their hearts; Liu Fa's family is also a long-standing family, and he has military exploits, and he is also a little disdainful of Tong Guan; And Liu Zhongwu was promoted from a soldier to a general with a knife and a gun, although Liu Yanqing has mediocre ability, he knows how to speculate on the psychology of his boss, and Tong Guan also needs to firmly control the military power, so the two hit it off.

Seed Master Dao and Liu Zhongwu glanced at each other, and then smiled: "We will move the Shuai Mansion to Jingzhou, and don't spread it out, let Liu Yanqing go to Shunzhou first to make a move, and then go to Jingzhou to find me and wait!" ”

When the words fell, the four of them immediately laughed.

……

Shunzhou is nearly fifty miles away from Jingzhou, and it is freezing at the moment, so it is inconvenient to walk.

It's freezing outside, the road is also slippery, and the speed of the march is naturally much slower. After the city of Shunzhou, there is no decisive battle in Western Xia, and it is not far from the destruction of the country, even if it is trapped, it can be trapped in life and death, and the overall situation has been decided, so Lotte is too lazy to that leisure.

Just when Lotte was drowsy, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and then accompanied by the chariot of Lotte, and whispered: "Lord Zhongshu, a letter was intercepted on the road!" ”

It was General Xu, Lotte heard the identity of the person from the neutral voice, and then said: "It's freezing outside, General Xu should come into the car and sit!" ”

General Xu answered, handed the horse to the soldiers who were with him, and got into Lotte's carriage.

"What is written in the letter?" Tian Leng Lotte lazily took off his gloves and just asked, but when his eyes fell on the envelope, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this letter?" Who knows about it? ”

General Xu replied: "After suffering huge losses from our army, the Xia army, which attacked our army's grain and grass in the rear, began to change its strategy, giving up attacking our army's grain and grass and began to deal with our army's heralds. ”

Lotte hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should hand over this letter to the rear, why did you take it to this official?" ”

Without much explanation, Xu Jiang just said: "Your Excellency will know by looking at it!" ”

Nodding, Lotte reluctantly put down the hand warmer, unfolded the letterhead, and saw a flattery, looking at Lotte couldn't help frowning.

When Lotte read the letter, General Xu said: "Liu Yanqing wants to invite Tong Guan to come to the front line in person, there is nothing excessive in this matter, Tong Guan is the general leader of the six-way side affairs, presiding over the overall situation of the northwest, so he naturally wants to go to the front line in person, but Liu Yanying is a little exposed on this letter, and it is the credit of the battle of Shunzhou, the master of Zhongshu!" ”

Nodding subconsciously, Lotte asked again: "Le and this Liu Yanqing have never had a festival?" ”

"Zhongshu and Tong Guan don't have any holidays, but Tong Guan is still not used to Zhongshu adults!" General Xu asked rhetorically, and then continued: "Lord Zhongshu, since Liang Guiren Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian gained power in the palace, Tong Guan's original scenery in the palace was divided into three, but Yang Jian and Yang Guiren acted in a low-key manner and did not involve court politics, so the scenery in the court was divided equally between Liang Guiren and Tong Guan, if Tong Guan did not keep his military merits, he would inevitably be overshadowed by Liang Guiren......"

What Xu Jiang said was reasonable, and Lotte also understood in his heart: "Yes, Tong Guan will never sit back and watch Le Mou expand his credit!" ”

Xu Jiang carefully analyzed: "According to what the lower officials think, Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing were the same before, both of them were in a wait-and-see attitude, after all, Xihe Liu Shuai had not arrived in Shunzhou, Jingyuan and Huanqing had 70,000 horses against 100,000 Xia troops, and they were surrounded by the enemy on both sides, our army was at a disadvantage, and it was deep into the enemy territory and the heavy snow fell from the sky, the situation was extremely bad, Tong Guan was also afraid of taking responsibility, and he was more worried about his personal safety in the rear of the Zhenrong army. ”

"These people really have a good plan!" After reading the letterhead and getting it to the fireworks on the hand stove, Lotte watched the letterhead turn into paper ashes and sighed: "Le is really tired, while thinking about fighting with the Xia people, and on the other hand, thinking about how to face these people to grab credit, it can be described as a two-front battle." ”

"How should adults respond?" General Xu asked.

"Your arms can't twist your thighs!" Lotte couldn't help sighing, and then narrowed his eyes again: "If he really wants to grab this credit, Le doesn't mind competing with him!" ”
