When the Xixia envoy left, Chao Yong smiled and said, "What do you think? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhishen said: "Western Xia has been harassing my Han people for many years, how can I easily spare them." ”

Yang Zhi also echoed: "The Western Xia has been on the border for many years, and how many people have been taken captive by them to be slaves, and now I want to seek peace when I see that my Liang is strong, how can there be such a good thing." ”

Liu Qi also said with an indignant face: "In this invasion of Western Xia, the Western Army and Linglang sacrificed by the Zhenrong Army alone are no less than 50,000, and the people who died cannot be counted, how can they easily negotiate peace with Western Xia." ”

Chao Yong didn't say anything, and looked at Xu Guanzhong with a smile.

Xu Guanzhong looked at Chao Yong, and had no choice but to come out and laugh: "The last general thought that the envoy of the Western Xia had come strangely, and the Western Xia people had always been greedy and fierce. Now the Deshun army and Huanqing Road still have their 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the country may be able to make up more soldiers and horses, and my Liang is full of 90,000 soldiers and horses, and he also killed Brother Cha, the king of the Western Xia and Jin Dynasty. ”

Seed Master Dao nodded and said: "What General Xu said is that there are many tribes in Western Xia, and if Li Qianshun sues for peace in humiliation when he has three times his strength against me, I am afraid that Western Xia will fall apart after I go back." ”

Zhu Wu also smiled: "The prince must have seen it, so he wants Western Xia to return all the Han people." Many craftsmen in the Western Xia were Han Chinese, and if the Han people were returned, the national strength of the Western Xia would probably be greatly reduced. At that time, even if I don't attack, I'm afraid that the grassland tribes will also be able to make Western Xia slowly decline. If Li Qianshun promised to return the Han Chinese, it would be a fraud. ”

Chao Yong nodded and said: "I just suspect that firearms are divine thunder for the uncivilized Fan, and they are also a powerful firearm for the Xixia people." Although my Daliang is invincible, it has not yet reached the point where people will surrender in the Central Plains, let alone this Western Xia. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Then if Li Qianshun disagrees tomorrow, you will know whether there is fraud or not." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Li Qianshun's army should come tonight." ”

Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said, "The Xixia people want to attack the camp? ”

Chao Yong nodded and said: "Eighty percent is like this, Xixia came to paralyze us with peace, and then came to a night attack, and I don't want to think that these strategies are all left over from our ancestors." ”

Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "The Sprinkle family asked for an order and led the troops to ambush outside the village." ”

Wu Song also said: "The last general is also willing to lead his troops to ambush outside the village." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Okay, then the two of you, one left and one right, ambush outside the village, as soon as the trumpet cannon in the village sounds, you will cut off the Xixia people left and right." ”

Zhu Wu nodded and said: "You can ambush all the way to Xixia Dazhai, and the surname Suo also robbed Xixia Dazhai." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Leave this task to Dong Ping and Lu Junyi, they should be in the Deshun Army now." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "If you want to catch Li Qianshun, I'm afraid you have to ambush all the way to the west." Li Qianshun should not have come to rob the camp in person, maybe we ambushed the soldiers together, and he fled in the wilderness. ”

Yang Zhi immediately said: "The last general is willing to go to the west to ambush." ””

Mu Hong also rushed to say: "The last general is also willing to go." ”

Li Ying, Li Congji, and Sun Li are naturally not far behind, catching the enemy and the lord of the country, this kind of glory is the pursuit of military generals, and this kind of opportunity is also very rare, and many military generals may not have such an opportunity in their lives.

Even the Seed Master Dao wanted to speak, but he didn't have many soldiers and horses under his command, and he couldn't read the power to complete this task. Although if he goes with other people, the Lord will definitely be him, but it is a naked robbery, and he still disdains to do such a thing.

Han Shizhong and Liu Qi are also moved, but the two of them are also short of soldiers and horses, and their qualifications are not enough.

Chao Yong looked at the five people and said with a smile: "I want to go to this errand, so let's do it, you guys draw lots, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, do you want to catch it?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "Since the Sprinkle family said that they were ambushed outside the village, let's ambush outside the wall." ”

Wu Song also said: "I won't arrest it either." ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he got five notes out, wrote a Li character on one of them, and then crumpled them all into a paper ball, shook them in his hand for a while, and then spread out his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, whoever catches the Li character will wish him to catch Li Qianshun tonight." ”

Yang Zhi and the five of them looked at each other, and they all wanted to be the first to make a move, so as not to be caught by others, but they felt that the probability of choosing one of the five seemed to be not very large, and they hoped that others would catch a few empty ones first.

Chao Yong smiled: "Let's come in the order you just spoke, Yang Zhi is the first, Mu Hong is the second, Li Ying is the third, Li Congji is the fourth, and Sun Li is the fifth." ”

When the five of them saw the prince's order, they no longer hesitated.

Yang Zhi was the first to come up and looked at the five paper balls that were almost the same, and he could only choose one at random, but it was blank when he opened it.

"Not selected."

Yang Zhi smiled helplessly and stepped aside.

Mu Hong's second choice was not chosen.

Li Ying went up, but still not selected.

"It shouldn't be difficult to choose one of the two, but seeing the results of the three of you, I can't think I can choose it."

Li Congji went up with a smile, picked up a paper ball and opened it, it was really a white strip.

Seeing this, Lu Zhishen laughed and said, "I thought Sun Li had no chance at all, but I didn't expect him to win without a fight." ”

Chao Yong said with a skeptical face: "Could it be that the note that I wrote just now has fallen?" General Sun opened the note and looked at it. ”

Sun Li naturally knew that Chao Yong was joking, so he stepped forward to open the note, and naturally there was a Li character.

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, the water is out, let's go and prepare." ”

The night was like ink, the sky was like the bottom of a pot, and the moon and twinkling stars were gone.

"I can't see my fingers, it's a good day for a night attack."

Li Qianshun took his own soldiers to inspect the camp, and the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind were all neatly dressed and guarded in the camp to guard against the arrival of the big beams on the camp.

After nightfall, the 60,000-strong army quietly left the camp and headed for the camp of the Liang State.

Brother Cha and Wei Ming An Hui were both important courtiers of Li Qianshun in charge of Western Xia, and they were also rare talents in the Western Xia royal family.

Although he had promised to be named Anhui, once he failed in the surprise attack, he would retreat, but the Western Xia still had the advantage of troops, and he was only afraid that people's hearts would fluctuate when he retreated.

Therefore, Li Qianshun came up with a strategy to paralyze the Liang army and attack at night. The soldiers and horses in the battalion were all neatly clothed and armored, nominally to prevent a sneak attack by the Liang, but once the soldiers and horses in the Liang battalion failed, Li Gan prepared to withdraw his troops overnight.

Otherwise, if the two successive sneak attacks fail, the morale of the army will inevitably be low, and then the decisive battle with the Liang State, which has the help of firearms, will inevitably be defeated.

On the east side of the Xixia camp, a black-clothed and black-armored army of soldiers and horses had lurked from the darkness to the rest of the camp, it was the 20,000 horses led by Lu Junyi and Dong Ping, and the 1,000 people led by Yao Pingzhong.

After Chao Yong's army defeated the Chage army, he sent someone to inform Lu Junyi and Dong Ping to come to Deshun's army.

On the 21st, Lu Junyi and Dong Ping led their troops through Liupan Mountain and entered the Deshun army stuck in the mountain pass at night.

At the same time, Li Qianshun sent Wei Ming Anhui to attack the Liang army, but did not attack the Deshun army, so he did not know that there were 20,000 more soldiers and horses in the city.

Although Liupan Mountain is steep, it is not difficult to fly, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is inconvenient for the army to pass through, and people with strong skills can still be unimpeded. Chao Yong sent Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to Liupan Mountain to deliver a message to Lu Junyi and Dong Ping.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Deshun army were less than 5,000 at this time, half of which were Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses under the command of the seed division, and half were soldiers and horses of Xihe Road.

After the invasion of Western Xia, Yao Gu led his troops to withdraw to Qinfeng Road, but because most of the soldiers and horses were sent to Jiangnan to exterminate Fang La, there were not many soldiers and horses who returned.

Although both the seed division and Yao Gu are strategic envoys, the Deshun army is under the jurisdiction of Qin Fenglu, and the main general is naturally also a seed master.

The seed master learned that Lu Junyi and Dong Ping were going out of the city to attack the camp, but he didn't have any ideas, although he felt that the Western Xia soldiers and horses did not attack the city, and maybe they would be prepared, but the two of them went out of the city was ordered by the prince, and he couldn't stop it. Although he was tempted to capture the lord of the Western Xia, it was equally important to defend the Deshun army, but he didn't want to attack the camp, but in the end he lost the Deshun army.

The seed master was not moved, but the little captain Yao Pingzhong was moved.

Yao Pingzhong is Yao Gu's nephew, who lost his father at an early age and was raised by Yao Gu. The Yao family is second only to the Northwest General, and Yao Pingzhong has also learned a good martial arts.

At the age of eighteen, he participated in the battle of the Zangdi River, and the Western Xia soldiers were unstoppable and beheaded many times. Therefore, he was summoned by Tong Guan, but Yao Pingzhong saw that Tong Guan was just a eunuch, but he stole the position of marshal, so he was a little disdainful of Tong Guan. Tong Guan saw that Yao Pingzhong was so reckless, and immediately erased many of Yao Pingzhong's military exploits, and the rewards of the imperial court were naturally reduced. However, the young heroes in Guanzhong all admired Yao Pingzhong very much and called him a little captain.

In the battle of exterminating Fang La, he also led his troops to participate, and captured the city, although he did not capture Fang La, but the credit he received was one of the best in the entire Western Army. Originally, Yao Pingzhong still thought that he could be received by the emperor, but he didn't expect the Song Dynasty to suddenly fall.

I hurried all the way back to the northwest, only to know that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Liangshan Caokou, and the old seed Jing slightly Xianggong actually called on the Western Army to return to the Great Liang and resist the Western Xia.

Although Yao Pingzhong was reluctant in his heart, the Yao family couldn't make it his turn to call the shots, not to mention that the Yao family's Xihe Road was gone, and there were no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he didn't have much right to speak. In the end, Yao Gu naturally chose to advance and retreat with the breeder.

It wasn't until the first two days that Lu Junyi and Dong Ping led troops into the Deshun army, and at the same time killed Brother Cha Ge of Daliang, repelled Brother Cha's soldiers and horses all the way, and brought the news that they were going to encircle Li Qianshun into the city, that Yao Pingzhong felt that it was not a fluke that Daliang overthrew the Song Dynasty.

When they heard that Lu Junyi and Dong Ping were going to attack Li Qianshun's camp, they immediately rushed to arrest Li Qianshun.

Yao Gu also felt that he might be able to catch Li Qianshun, so he agreed to Yao Pingzhong's request. Because of Yao Gu's face, Yao Pingzhong also agreed to Yao Pingzhong to take a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city. (To be continued.) )
