Xingqing House.

The place where the kings of Western Xia were located.

When Wen Yanbo and the others set off from Bianliang City, they received the news.

For this matter, King Li Yuanhao has already found several ministers to discuss how to solve this matter.

Li Yuanhao is violent, suspicious, and murderous.

But I have to say that this is another person with a heroic spirit, at least in terms of decisiveness in killing, which is beyond the reach of Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen.

The minister of Western Xia, who is also the military division of Zhang Yuan, is a thunderbolt.

This person studied in the Great Song Dynasty when he was young, and he can be said to know the Great Song Dynasty very well.

Regarding the arrival of Wen Yanbo and others, Zhang Yuan gave his own suggestions. "Promise them."

"Promise?" Brother Ning Ling, King of Liang, was very puzzled after hearing the answer given by Zhang Yuan. "Why do you want to promise them, seeing that they are going to destroy Wang Xin without hiding their old voices, at that time, the entire northern territory of the Great Song Dynasty will fall into our iron hooves, and now we have agreed to Wen Yanbo's request for a truce, doesn't it give the other party a chance to breathe."

"Humph! It's just a captive, we have a million good sons in Western Xia, and we can afford to lose this little bit of men."

Brother Ning Ling disagreed, and looked very angry, which made Li Yuanhao, who was sitting on the throne, frown.

This time, he didn't open his mouth to reprimand his son Ning Lingge, although his relationship with this son was a little delicate. But apparently he supported his son in this matter.

Speaking of Li Yuanhao and his son Ning Lingge, the relationship is far from being as close as that of ordinary father and son.

Ning Lingge's mother Wuzang was born in the Wuzang family, and his uncles Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong made great achievements in Li Yuanhao's claim to be the emperor and the founding of the country and the fight against the Song Dynasty.

Soon after, Li Yuanhao used a trick to kill Yeli Yuqi and others, and the entire Yeli clan was punished.

These are not counted, when Li Yuanhao was raiding Yeli Yu's beggar family, he saw Yeli Yuqi's wife Wuzang's family, Li Yuanhao, an old pervert, was attracted by the beauty of Wuzang's family, and did some indescribable things with her, and gave birth to a son Liang Zuo, and soon, Li Yuanhao abolished the Yeli clan who lost the support of his mother's family.

This Langzuo, who was also later Li Liangzuo, was the second emperor of Western Xia.

At that time, Brother Ning Ling was still young, but his relationship with his uncles had always been good, and he was not able to stop this matter at that time. But as he grew up and trained in the army, he also had his own strength, and the relationship between their father and son began to crack.

It's just that the current Li Yuanhao has not swelled so much, and Brother Ning Ling has not met the daughter of Wuyishan, and the later father has not taken the son and wife, and the father and son have not really turned their faces now.

With the arrival of Su Shi, many things have changed, and it is really uncertain whether there will be anything that has not moved in the future.

At present, it is still a concerted effort, at least the father and son who agree on state affairs, so they all looked at Zhang Yuan in unison, waiting for his explanation.

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the promise I said is just a superficial promise."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Yuan began to explain.

"We just said that the Great Song Western Army was allowed to send reinforcements to the north, but we couldn't send reinforcements?"

"Not only that, but we can also tell this news to the Wuzang Guyin who are already in the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty, and ask them to inform the Liao and Mongolian tribes. You say, at that time, was it the Great Song family that had a large number of reinforcements, or the three of us joined forces to have more reinforcements?"

"Over the years, we have fought and made peace with the Song army, although it is said that there are more wins and fewer losses, and we have also made some small gains, but we cannot ignore that the Song army is still very powerful. At least they have a large population and a lot of land, and even if they encounter a big defeat, it won't take long for them to recover, and it's far from something we can easily shake."

"Now, here's your chance."

"We can use the power of the three clans to fight with the Great Song, why can't we seize such a good opportunity?"

"Besides, we just promised each other,

You can regret it at any time, can't you?"

"As long as we agree, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty will send some troops to the north to help, and the pressure on us will be even less. Then if we can take advantage of the fact that the northern border involves a large number of Western troops of the Great Song Dynasty, and suddenly send troops, will we have a great gain?"

After Zhang Yuan said this, he also let out a dry laugh.

After listening to these analyses, Li Yuanhao and Ning Lingge finally understood what he meant.

This promise is actually to confuse the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and if possible, it is of course best to inflict heavy losses on the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty in the north. No matter how bad it is, you can also take advantage of the time when the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is going north, and suddenly send troops to make some gains in the west.

In this way, it seems that no matter what the outcome, they will not suffer.

"Haha, okay, what the minister said is exactly what this king wants, so if that's the case, we will agree to the Song people's request. Everything will be left to the Minister of State." Li Yuanhao made a decision in the midst of laughter.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan arched over and agreed. Then he said, "It's just that in this case, we also have to inform General Wuzang Guyin that it is too ruthless to attack Xincheng, and if we really want to take it, I am afraid that it will affect the entire plan."

"Yes, all these things are for the prime minister to do, asking people to give people, and asking for food to give food." Li Yuanhao waved his hand and said very simply.

Don't look at Li Yuanhao as a reckless person, but he also has his own cleverness, that is, he dares to let go of power for things he is not good at.

This is beyond Zhao Zhen's reach.

Zhao Zhen can delegate power, but once the people below have great power, he begins to have all kinds of worries. So that many things are easy to form anticlimactic, and in the end nothing can be accomplished.

......

Qigou Pass.

Zhang Jian once again saw another 2,000 soldiers leaving.

These people were subordinate to the reinforcements of Dafang Mountain. It was Zhang Jian's call to help him before.

It's just that he didn't expect that Su Shi's army did not choose to fight at Qigou Pass, but divided the army into countless teams and continued to attack other places.

Recently, Yixian in the west, Wuqing in the east, Qifeng City in the northwest, and Miaoyin City in the northeast have all been attacked by Su Shi's army.

Under the attack of the Song army in all directions, the Liao army, which Zhang Jian had just recruited from nearby, had to return home first to defend.

Of the original more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, in a month, there were only 40,000 left.

The continuous reduction of troops made Zhang Jian's black hair white. The imperial reinforcements had not yet arrived, and he felt even more pressure.

It's the end of August, and it's the rainy season. At this time, a light rain began to fall outside the military tent.

Watching the raindrops keep falling with his back hand, Zhang Jian took a breath and finally made a decision. "Withdraw, wait until the rain stops and the road can be driven, and we will withdraw to Fanyang City and hold it until reinforcements from Shangjing arrive."

There are only 40,000 horses left, of which 20,000 are newly recruited troops, who have lost the ability to fight Su Shi head-on.

thought that if Su Shi was really not afraid of losses and suddenly launched an attack on himself outside Qigou Pass, he was afraid that it would be himself who would be destroyed in the end. Zhang Jian didn't dare to gamble.

Just when Zhang Jian made the decision to retreat, Su Shi, who had already come to Qigou Pass, had just put down the walkie-talkie in his hand.

Just now, a scout team of Flying Eagle No. 1 came with news that the Mongolian army had increased its troops again.

It is said that the Mongolian army is fighting with the Great Song Dynasty, and it is really normal to increase troops on the battlefield, but listening to Su Shi's ears, it makes him feel an unusual existence.

It's the end of August, and in a month, snow is likely to fall in the north. At this time, it is not suitable for large armies to fight.

The Northeast during the Song Dynasty was far colder than the current weather, and it is said that during this period, the Northeast should be prepared for the cat winter, but now, Mengqi is still increasing its troops, what is going on?

"There are 30,000 people here, do they still want to enter Bianliang City in one go?"

Su Shi muttered to himself incomprehensibly.

What the Mongolian army did made Su Shi unable to figure it out. can

The more you can't figure it out, the more dangerous it becomes.

A self-drawn map is placed on the bookcase, this is a map drawn by two Flying Eagle squadrons, many places have been there in person, and they have been to it and summarized it.

Its proportions and authenticity are far more detailed than the simple maps provided by the Secret Spy Division.

Su Shi's gaze fell on it, looking at it little by little, but he was a human being, not a god, and in the absence of enough intelligence support, he still couldn't analyze a result.

It wasn't until two days later that news came from Gu Le, and Su Shi finally had his own judgment.

Wen Yanbo arrived in the western realm of the Great Song Dynasty, and soon met with the envoy sent by the Western Xia, in order to gain the favor of the other party, he didn't talk about anything, and first returned the Gule to the Western Xia.

In Wen Yanbo's words, you have to show your sincerity first, what are they doing when you say it?

Kill and can't kill, stay and waste food?

It seems to make sense, but in fact, it is nonsense.

Gu Le and a thousand other Western Xia prisoners, but they were all enemies, and they were still fierce enemies.

Otherwise, there would not be only 5,000 cavalry, but they would have blocked the continuous attacks of the black cavalry and the vanguard army.

Even if it is an enemy, how can it be lightly put back, this is not to increase the enemy's strength, to put it more seriously, it is to fund the enemy.

Okay, it's not impossible to put it down, but at least you have to get some benefits back first.

The Western Xia just showed up as a messenger and didn't promise anything, so you let the people go, and you weren't afraid to turn back to the Western Xia people and turn their faces against you?

I really don't know what Wen Yanbo is thinking in his head.

Above the Great Song Dynasty, it was extremely powerful, and it also proposed to cure Su Shi's crimes.

When he saw the envoy of Western Xia, he immediately groveled, looking like he had no bones all over his body.

Such a person, if Su Shi wants to evaluate, it is to lick the dog. ap.

No, it's a traitor.
