Chapter 119: Return to Dali

As a cavalry that was about to be pulled to the battlefield to fight against the cavalry formed by the nomads, Zhao Xiaoxi deliberately selected the relatively weak Western Xia in the surrounding area. In order to give these rookie cavalrymen time to adapt to the actual combat of the cavalry.

Compared with the Liao State, which has the strongest cavalry strength at present, the cavalry of Western Xia and Tubo are a few points worse in terms of technical combat level. And Zhao Xiaoxi is a cavalry of five thousand-man teams, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Just every cavalryman wears a set of chain mail, which is not comparable to the leather armor of the Western Xia and the Tubo cavalry today.

In addition, the bows and crossbows used by the cavalry are also equipped with one hand. Ensure that it can attack at intervals in long and short distances. Even the riding spear and saber can be said to have been built with a lot of money.

Through this advantage in weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness between the Western Xia cavalry was narrowed. is the reason why Zhao Xiaoxi dared to bring these cavalry to the battlefield at this time. Blind closed-door training will not be able to train elite cavalry units.

Only the cavalrymen who can survive the bloody cavalry encounters can really pat their chests and say that they are part of the cavalry. Then the new recruits were compensated to join the cavalry battalion, and the old and new were used to form this cavalry army with high hopes.

After arranging a five-day training mission, Cho Hyo-seok told Jang Tingguang, who acted as a whetstone, not to be afraid to let these rookie cavalrymen get injured. Many of the guards battalions under his command were veterans who had been on the battlefield and fought with nomadic cavalry.

Let Zhang Tingguang take the personal guard battalion composed of these veterans to teach these rookie cavalry the last lesson before the battle. Whether it is a clash of cavalry groups of 1,000 men or an encounter of a squad of scouts, they must be trained as if they were actual combat during these five days.

If the cavalry is injured in training, they will all be eliminated and left behind in the camp. As soon as this order came out, many cavalry soldiers looked at Zhang Tingguang, Zhao Da and the others in their eyes. There are a few more worries.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who made this arrangement, had not returned home for three days, and soon returned to the county king's mansion with a military guard cavalry. And in the face of his return, both women seemed very happy.

Although they all knew that Zhao Xiaoxi had something to do when he returned, and they also became nervous when they looked at the vicinity of the county king's mansion recently. The two women also knew. I'm afraid this lover is going to war.

Originally, according to their meaning, they did not need Zhao Xiaoxi's personal escort to return to Dali. But Zhao Xiaoxi said that he also had business to do on this trip to Dali. I didn't say much!

accompanied the two daughters to have a happy dinner, and Zhao Xiaoxi also asked the two girls at the dinner table if they had gone to the city to play in the past three days.

As a result, the answer was that the two women did not go there for the past three days, and went from house to house in the village. I even went to watch the villagers who moved here to harvest grain.

For two women. Since he chose to be with Zhao Hyo-seok, he must know everything about Zhao Hyo-seok. Among them, of course, including Zhao Xiaoxi's side, and these can be said to be the people who live with the county king's mansion, and they are also the people they need to understand.

After a three-day visit, this new village built around the county king's mansion, Zhao Xiaoxi can be described as extremely prestigious. Whether it is an old man or a child, when they see Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling appearing, they will respectfully call "Princess." This made the two women think. It is undoubtedly their luck to choose such a man who is deeply loved by the people to entrust them for life.

We talked until midnight. Thinking that he would have to go tomorrow, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly announced that he had something to say on the road tomorrow. After sending the two girls back to the room, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had been holding back for three days, naturally issued a code to Mu Wanqing very sophisticatedly.

Mu Wanqing, who had also not felt the conquest for a while, had a pretty face dyed red again, lowered his head and lightly tapped it twice. And none of these Zhong Ling paid attention. Instead, I went back to the room to pack some things, and I needed to bring back to Dali tomorrow.

This is the longest time she has been away from her parents since she was born. In order to honor his parents, Zhong Ling also bought a lot of things for his parents when he traveled to Jiangnan. It's just this father. It's not the Duan prince, but the cheap dad.

Even if Mu Wanqing told her that she would be a little polite to Duan Wang Ye in the future. But Zhong Ling still couldn't accept it, and her father, who raised her to adulthood, suddenly changed to another person. Besides, she really doesn't have much affection for this amorous father.

When the lights in Zhong Ling's room went out, Zhao Hyo-seok processed the information in the palace for three days. I also learned that the adoptive parents of the Qiao Da gang leader were eventually killed at home. This tragedy is still happening!

In addition to paying attention to Qiao Feng's affairs, Helian Tieshu, who rushed back to Western Xia all the way, also entered the territory of Western Xia safely. Regarding the rumors that spread before him, Helian Tieshu could be said to be angry.

But no matter how angry it is, there is no way to calm it, and Helian Tieshu, who has already been taken by Zhao Xiaoxi and scattered the rumors. proposed to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, but was categorically rejected by the lord of Western Xia and many ministers.

There were even many Western Xia ministers who did not deal with Helian Tieshu, and they also accused this general of not hesitating to gamble with a country in order to avenge his personal revenge. The general, who is usually trusted by the lord of the country, is also even more depressed.

It's just from the intelligence collected from the Buyi Pavilion that later, after the Western Xia lord went down to the next dynasty, he summoned the general of the Eastern Expedition alone. Although it was impossible to find out what the two had discussed, Helian Tieshu seemed very excited when he left the palace.

After that, Helian Tieshu stayed in the cavalry camp of a 10,000-strong team in Western Xia. It can be seen from this cavalry battalion that has recently begun to intensify training and reserve supplies. Soon after, this team of 10,000 people was afraid that they were going to cross the border to harass Song Jing.

Seeing this information, Zhao Xiaoxi sighed that these Western Xia people are really true. In the past, several teams of 1,000 people were sent, but this time a team of 10,000 people was sent. I really want to come to the Song Dynasty to form a group to fight the autumn wind!

It's just that through the information collected, Zhao Xiaoxi knows that the Western Xia people are afraid that they don't dare to blatantly provoke trouble. Then this 10,000-strong team will enter the country, and I am afraid that it will also turn into a small force of cavalry and scatter to attack all places.

This gave Cho Hyo-seok, who has a complete intelligence network, a chance to break through. If this team of 10,000 people were all wiped out in the Song Realm, Zhao Xiaoxi would also want to know what the expression on the face of the sinister Western Xia lord would be at that time.

Knowing any battle, timely and accurate intelligence is the key to determining the victory or defeat of a war. Zhao Xiaoxi quickly asked his personal Wu Wei to convey an order.

And this order, which is half of the currently known Western Xia spy network, is all cleared. Let the Tanguts completely lose their eyes and ears to the transfer of officers and soldiers in the Song Dynasty.

Without the support of the intelligence of these spy networks, Zhao Xiaoxi saw how these Western Xia people still knew about the movement of troops in the Song Dynasty. And this time, there are dart masters and guards arranged in various places, which is enough to quietly kill people and eliminate mouths.

After reading this information and making corresponding arrangements, Zhao Xiaoxi slipped to Mu Wanqing's room after finishing his work. With this squeamish beauty, stage a battle of conquest that both of them love.

After he was refreshed, Zhao Xiaoxi came out again at the sound of roosters and meditated in the room to practice. After maintaining his physical strength, he got up early in the morning to accompany the two women to have a morning meal, and then set off for Dali.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who spent nearly two days on the road and finally entered the territory of Dali, stayed in the Dali Palace that night. After giving the two daughters to their mothers to meet, they learned that Zhong Ling's mother, Gan Baobao.

gave up the status of the princess of the side room given by Duan Zhengchun, and had already returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, accompanying Zhong Wanqiu, the vinegar jar who was very good to her mother and daughter.

This approach made Duan Zhengchun undoubtedly very sad. It's just that he also knows that he and Gan Baobao are no longer the kind of age when they were impulsive and reckless. However, before leaving, Gan Baobao still agreed to the condition of keeping his daughter by his side.

It's just that for Zhong Ling, she can't accept the existence of this father for the time being. If it weren't for the fact that it was already midnight at this moment, Zhong Ling would have wanted to rush back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations overnight to see her father and mother who had been with her since childhood.

In the face of Zhong Ling's refusal to call his father, Duan Zhengchun, who learned that his daughter was back, felt half the joy in his heart. It's just that when he saw Mu Wanqing and took out the clothes he bought for him in Jiangnan, this prince felt that he had found a little bit of a father.

He already understands what Zhao Xiaoxi is, and this time he may have gone through a psychological struggle, plus Emperor Baozheng mentioned it from time to time. This time, he was no longer as hostile to Duan Zhengchun, the guy who kidnapped his two precious daughters, as before.

After asking Mu Wanqing's mother, Qin Hongmian, to take the two daughters to the harem to rest, Zhao Xiaoxi left Duan Zhengchun behind. With this marshal of Dali's soldiers and horses, as well as Emperor Baozheng, who saw that there was finally no longer a quarrel today, he said that the attack battle that would be launched on Qinfeng Road in winter. I also hope that Dali will give corresponding cooperation.

I thought it would take a lot of money, but this time Emperor Baoding would readily agree and hand over the matter to Duan Zhengchun to be responsible. Let him have full authority to deal with this matter, and by the way, an opportunity to deepen cooperation with this pair of men who may become Weng's son-in-law.

Under the pretext that Emperor Baozheng, who was already sleepy, he quickly patted his ass and left, and Zhao Xiaoxi, who was watching, was speechless. But he also quickly understood that this Emperor Baozheng, who wanted to become a monk, must also be to give Duan Zhengchun a little more chance to test.

For this reason, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say much, and quickly came up with the suspicious soldier plan deduced by the military camp. On the border between Dali and Tubo, it was told accordingly. At this point, Duan Zhengchun also really feels that this son-in-law's fighting level is also very good.

Even if now that Qin Hongmian was left by his side, the princess of the main family finally returned to the Taoist Temple to cultivate. Compared with being a lonely prince before, he is now living a much more nourishing life.

Usually there is Qin Hongmian in the palace, and occasionally he can go to Tianlong Temple to see the son Duan Yu who studied art with Master Kurong. This little day is also very nourishing, and every time I go to Tenryu Temple, I talk with Kurong, a former member of the royal family.

learned that Zhao Xiaoxi was in the appearance of a hidden dragon, and understood that befriending this person would have an immeasurable effect on him in Dali. After understanding this, his attitude towards Zhao Xiaoxi naturally changed greatly! (To be continued......)
