As Zhao Tan expected, after Yinshu could enter Shiling Pass, Taiyuan City was in front of him, but he felt that the troops did not dare to go any further, and stationed troops in Xinzhou to wait for Zong Han to lead the troops to come to attack Taiyuan, but what he waited for was the news of his defeat in Yingzhou, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Zong Han that he had passed the Shiling Pass, so he asked him to come from Ulzhou far away!

Zong Han, who was so worried that he was about to hang himself, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately arranged suspicious soldiers in Baishuikou, and quietly led a large group of men and horses around Ulzhou, out of Shimenyu, and rushed to Xinzhou to meet with Yinshu Kebu and approached Taiyuan City. But Zonghan is an unlucky guy, Taiyuan City is still his nightmare, he has been beaten back several times, and he was blocked under the city again...

At this time, in addition to Zhang Xiaochun, the Taishou who was in charge of the city defense work in Taiyuan City, the other was Wang Yu, the deputy commander of the Jiesheng Army under Tong Guan. Wang Yuzi Zhengchen, a native of Bianjing, was originally a pawn in the army, and his heroic performance in the suppression of the Fangla Uprising has been serving under Tong Gonggong after being awarded an official for meritorious service, and he became the deputy commander of Taiyuan City by his own efforts.

It can be said that as a military general who has not been able to have any background, this Wang Dutong was able to achieve his current achievements completely by relying on his own military exploits, which was relatively rare in the corrupt Song army at that time. Although Tong Guan's escape from Taiyuan City was illegal and wrong, he also did one thing right, ordering Wang Yu to stay in Taiyuan City before he fled.

I don't know whether Lu Dao's decision was happy or sad for Wang Yu, which not only gave Wang Yu a chance to fight independently, but also arranged an impossible task for Wang Yu. And Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu also faced the difficulty of "no rice cooking", and only the 3,000 Shengjie army under Wang Yu in Taiyuan City at that time was completely unable to resist the menacing Sticky Han army.

But Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun didn't want to be captured, they had to rely on their own efforts to stop the army of Sticky Han. Thereupon. This royal capital launched the order of all the people to be soldiers, and mobilized the people of the whole city of Taiyuan to defend the city together. There were more than 20,000 people in the city. Among them, Wang Yu selected people under the age of 60 and over the age of 16 to serve as militiamen and distributed weapons. Fight the enemy together. At the same time, Wang Yu seized the time to build a heavy city on the city of Taiyuan, dig a trench outside the city, and send militia to patrol under the tower day and night.

In addition, in order to prepare for the long-term war of resistance, Wang Yu also implemented a military ration system of grain storage, that is, everyone regardless of whether they are rich or poor, and they are supplied daily according to their capitation. In short, Wang Yu made all the preparations to defend the city, and the entire Taiyuan City became unprecedentedly united and unbreakable for a while.

After inflicting heavy losses on the Jin army on the western route of the southern invasion, Zhao Ta did not continue the pursuit but led the army west to reinforce Shuozhou. At this moment, the Western Xia monarchs, who had received the promise of the Jin army, really thought that they had found a big backer and frequently challenged Zhao Ta's bottom line, and ordered Li Liang's auxiliary troops to take advantage of the gap between the Krup army stationed in Shuozhou to move east to resist the Jurchens and invade Wuzhou from Dongshengzhou to Wuzhou, which belonged to Shuozhou County.

And now Shuozhou is Zhao Ta's backyard, his military production base can not afford to lose, after completing the campaign goal, immediately turn around to deal with the Xixia people, these boys occupy their own land, eat their own, drink their own, and dare to do it with themselves, they are really white-eyed wolves, and they can't help but teach them a lesson.

Li Liangfu's relationship with Xijing Remnant Liao was very delicate, and it was with the help of his Krüptan army that he was able to withstand the attack of the Jurchens at first. The passive situation was reversed, and after that, they lived in Dongshengzhou, where they relied on the help of the Krüd army to keep themselves from starving, and the two armies became close allies. And he also knew the relationship between the Dao Krup Army and the Great Song Yan Prince. At that time, it was the honeymoon period between them and Xixia, so they could all get along peacefully.

However, the situation was unpredictable, and Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao let the Jurchens arrest him. King Xia found a new master for himself. Immediately afterwards, the Xia army entered the Xijing area on a large scale and occupied Tiande, Yunnei and other places. This Li Liangfu can also understand, after all, it was the Jurchens who snatched it from the Liao State. Now let them be Western Xia's. Although it doesn't seem very kind, it is barely reasonable

This Wuzhou is different, it is the territory of the people's captive army, and if you want to occupy others, you have to want to give it, and the only way is to rob it. The use of force is the last thing Li Liangfu wants to see, because both in the past and now he knows that it is impossible for him to defeat the Kryu army, but the king's fate is difficult to disobey, he can only take advantage of the Kryu army to leave to take advantage of the loophole, avoid confronting them head-on, and can be regarded as having an explanation to the above.

Li Liangfu reluctantly sent troops south to Wuzhou from Dongsheng with this mentality, but met the resistance of the first garrison brigade of the Krup Army in the Partial Head Village, and after the two armies fought tastelessly for a few days, Li Liangfu suddenly found that the main force of the Capture Army appeared in the Partial Head Village, and immediately withdrew the army in shock.

However, this time Li Liangfu considered the matter simply, and the Krüd army did not forgive him for his reckless behavior, but cut off his food and salary, and issued the most reluctor ultimatum to limit all the Xia troops to withdraw from Dongsheng Prefecture within 10 days, otherwise they would send troops to attack and expel them by force. Li Liangfu was stupid now, and while sending people to Shuozhou to explain, he flew to Xingqing Mansion to ask them to decide, whether to fight or not...

"Lord Wang, what time limit do you have to deal with those white-eyed wolves in Western Xia, wouldn't it be nice to send troops to destroy them directly!" Zhao Yong said fiercely, these people in Xixia are really not particular, they will turn their faces when they say that they will turn their faces, it is the season when water turns into ice, and everyone gathers in the prince's tent to talk.

"We have just gone through a big war, the troops need to rest and replenish, and at the same time look at the attitude of the Tangut people, rash use of force will only push the Tangut people to the side of the Jurchens completely, and there is no room for reconciliation, our main enemy at this stage is the Jurchens, not the party members!" Zhao Ta said as he roasted his hands on the fire cage.

"The prince means to scare the party members, isn't it really beating?" Zhao Yong asked suspiciously.

"No, we still have to be ready to fight, once the time limit is up, Li Liang's auxiliary department has not withdrawn from Dongsheng Prefecture, we will attack immediately!" Zhao said.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Then are we going to take Tiande and Yunnei together?" ”

"Zhao Yong, we want to fight Dongsheng for two purposes, one is to warn Xixia, let them know goodbye, thinking that with the Jurchens as the backstage, we will be afraid of him; Second, the capture of Dongshengzhou will connect Hezhong and Xijing, which will facilitate the exchange of support between the two armies. Besides, the Jurchens will not hand over the land of those two states to Western Xia in vain, and the two countries will definitely cause a war for this in the future, so keep them for the time being, right? Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord Wang..." Zhao Yong hummed to show that he understood, but he couldn't stop talking.

"There's something to say, there's a fart, don't be like a!" Zhao Ta saw that Zhao Yong had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

"The Jin army is going south, the east road is close to the Yellow River, and the west road has reached the city of Taiyuan in Hedong, I think we should go south to save Hedong, instead of competing with the party here, my subordinates remember that the prince sent me to lead the army here to resist the Jurchens invading my Great Song Dynasty, but now the Jurchens have invaded the Central Plains, but we have not sent a single soldier!" Zhao Yong thought about it and said what he thought.

"Well, do you think so?" Zhao Ta looked at the people in the tent and asked.

"Yes, the Central Plains has fallen under the iron hooves of the Jurchens, and we should go south to King Qin!" Zhang Pu said.

"What about you?" Zhao Ta pointed at Li Leidao.

"Actually, the prince has already done it again, isn't it to prevent him from going south to Hedong by intercepting Zong Han in Yingzhou, and now I don't want them to drag us back and stabilize our rear, I don't think I directly sent troops to Hedong, the prince has a hard time!" Li Lei said.

"Yes, the prince is just hanging on to a false position now, and he is elbowed everywhere, how dare he mobilize the army without the emperor's order, otherwise there is no need to trouble your brothers in the Capture Army!" Chang Chao said.

"Lord Wang, the holy decree transferred from the river!" Before everyone could say a result, Jianxi came in and said.

"The emperor is in Zen, the crown prince ascends the throne, and the king of the Quartet is pretended, only I, the prince, are not allowed to leave without permission!" Zhao Ta looked at the holy decree and said with a sneer.

"The crown prince has ascended the throne?!" Several people couldn't help but look at each other and exclaimed.

"Shhh

"Zhao Yong, I'll leave the matter here to you, I'll go back to the river tomorrow!" Zhao Ta pondered for a moment and said, although he was promoted from the prince to the younger brother, he did not have a little joy, he knew that his situation would be even more difficult.

Zhao Yong hurriedly responded, but he was bitter in his heart, whether to fight or not, if he led the troops into battle, he was not afraid, but now he was involved in the relations between the two countries, how to sort it out, this kind of political battle is the most difficult to grasp, it is not good to fight hard, it is not good not to fight, it is really scratching people's heads. If only the prince ascended the throne this time, he wouldn't have to think about these troublesome things himself

Zhao Yong is not optimistic about this new emperor at all, thinking about the prince at the same time, Li Jiqian shot a tiger to death at the age of ten. Chago went into battle with the army at fifteen or sixteen. Let's look at which prince on the side of Dajin Kingdom didn't grow up in the shadow of swords and blood, the Han in front of him is not young and promising, leading troops to fight, brave and strategic; Zong Han is the leader of the Wanyan clan, a young and heroic warrior, who participated in all the battles to destroy Liao. How could this new emperor who grew up in the deep palace be the opponent of these tiger and wolf generations!

On the contrary, his prince grew up in the countryside since he was a child, started a business from scratch, made friends with talents since he was a child, mixed the rivers and lakes, and laid a foundation. In terms of martial arts, those princes have never even been on the battlefield, let alone making meritorious contributions; On governing the country, the prince announced the two state capitals, and the people who did not miss the prince's kindness... The only one who can compete with the Jurchens is the prince, but God is not long-sighted, but he gave the throne to that incompetent person, and Zhao Yong felt resentful of the prince!
