After reading the military report, Zhao Ta thought for a while, and then took people out of the customs.

Shunzhou is far away from Xiakou Pass, and it will take the Western Xia army three days to reach it at the earliest.

He led Yuan Ying, Bai Ba, and Bai Zhan, and called Zhang Xian, ordered 500 soldiers, and went out of the north gate.

At this time, it was just late, it was a full moon day, and the land of Guancheng was white, like frost and snow.

Walk along the Qilong Gorge to the mouth of the Mingsha River, and then get on a white sailing boat, and sail out of the river and into the center of the river.

Looking at the distant view here, there are two mountains in the north of the Yellow River standing by the side, like two sitting Buddhas looking down, and like a pair of old men chatting relative to each other under the moon.

The water potential of the Mingsha River is gentle, no more than the Yellow River rushing and roaring, the moon shines on the blue waves, jumping up thousands of golden scales, the boat waves push up, startling a burst of water birds, chirping, chirping non-stop.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, Yuan Ying danced happily on the boat, and said with a smile: "Master, Master, where are you going?" ”

Before Zhao Ta could speak, Yuan Ying continued: "The boat sails into the Yellow River, goes north, and you can go all the way to Huaizhou, then you will be home!" ”

Zhao Ta stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, and looked back at her in white clothes: "Want to go back to Yuanzhuang?" ”

Yuan Ying said: "I have never been away for so long, and I really want to go back and have a look." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Give you a soldier to bring back, can you say that the Yuan family?" ”

"Huh?!" Yuan Ying was so frightened when she heard this that she waved her hand again and again: "Master, I don't, I don't...... Went back. ”

Zhao Tan frowned and said, "I just said that I wanted to go back, why did I regret it?" ”

Yuan Ying snorted: "Master, I said before that I don't get involved in family affairs, Master, you have to talk and count, you can't count it." ”

"Talking counts?" Zhao Ta had fluttering sleeves, lined with the moonlight, and stood at the bow of the boat and looked ahead: "As a teacher, it is natural that words count, but I asked you to lead the troops back to persuade you to surrender, but it is for your good and the good of the Yuan family." ”

"How to be good for the apprentices? For the good of the Yuan family? Yuan Ying blinked, puzzled.

"Now that Yuan Ji and Yuan Xia have gone back, there is no news coming, so it can be seen that the Yuan family has no intention of surrendering, and the army will go north soon, and when the iron hooves are stepped, everything will become powder, and there is no reason to surrender, and the Yuan family will cease to exist at that time!" Zhao Ta said lightly: "If you go back to persuade you to surrender, the Yuan family will not only be able to protect the Yuan family from destruction, but also be reused by me. ”

"Ah......" Yuan Ying's two willow eyebrows bent and bent, and he always felt that the master said something wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong: "Master...... But I'm afraid, I, I'm ......."

Zhao Ta said: "Give you manpower, give you soldiers and horses, and ask Yuanguo to go back with you, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I, I, I......" Yuan Ying's little face turned a little pale under the moonlight, and the hand holding the big gun trembled slightly, obviously very nervous.

"Something that doesn't make a living!" Zhao Ta snorted: "This time I went back, it was to save your Yuan family, you want to save it or not, you decide for yourself!" ”

"I, I'll save!" Yuan Ying was stunned, and then said sneeringly: "Master, when will I go back......

At this moment, the boat walked forward, the night wind blew sails, and it had gone out for a few miles, and it was almost at the entrance of the Yellow River, Zhao Ta said lightly: "I will leave tomorrow, and according to what you said, take the waterway and go up the river and go straight to Huaizhou." ”

"Yes, Master......" Yuan Ying lowered her head, and the oil bottle could be hung on her small mouth.

"You have now been promoted to the little grandmaster, earlier than I expected, after this matter is done, the master will pass on your brilliant marksmanship, and then allow you to practice the sword properly." Zhao Ta said slowly.

Just the day before yesterday, Yuan Ying stepped into the realm of the little grandmaster, much faster than he expected, originally Zhao Ta had no idea about this kind of thing, after all, it was the first time to be a teacher, and the one who taught the high pet was not counted, and he couldn't judge whether Yuan Ying could enter the realm as soon as possible, he calculated that Yuan Ying could achieve the little grandmaster before the end of the year, but he didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.

"Really, Master?" Yuan Ying immediately jumped up with joy when she heard this, and her face blossomed with joy as soon as she changed her frustration just now.

"When does Master speak, it doesn't count!" Zhao Ta snorted coldly.

"By the way, Master......" Yuan Ying suddenly looked forward to Ai Ai: "Do you know how to swordsmanship?" ”

"Swordsmanship?" Zhao Ta squinted slightly: "No!" ”

"I knew Master, you didn't know how to swordsmanship!" Yuan Ying flicked the big gun in his hand, and said confidently: "Who will the apprentice learn the sword with then?" ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin, looked at her and said, "Didn't you always practice swords before?" Later, he also used a wooden sword to create tricks, since he learned the routines almost the same, and he could integrate the creation by himself, do you still need to learn from others? ”

Yuan Ying thought about it for a while, and said with some joy: "Master is right, I'm a little grandmaster, this grandmaster...... Naturally, I can create my own martial arts, although I am still only a small grandmaster, but it should be possible to ponder some swordsmanship at home, not to mention that my talent in kendo is extremely high, by the way, master, my talent in kendo must be stronger than that of gundom! ”

Zhao Ta's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in his heart What kind of kendo talent is stronger than the way of the gun, if you don't practice the gun in the past few months, can you be promoted to the little grandmaster?

"Master, when my swordsmanship is complete, I want to try it with you!" Yuan Ying is full of confidence.

"Try it out with me?" Zhao Ta frowned and snorted, this rebel is quite forgetful, forgetting that he was knocked unconscious to the ground before he even went out with his hand last time when he held the flute sword?

"Yes, I'm going to compete with Master then!" Yuan Ying's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said, "But Master, you also have to use a sword, we only test swordsmanship!" ”

"Swordsmanship?" Zhao Ta took his hands to the front, hugged his chest and said, "But I can't use a sword as a teacher!" ”

"That disciple doesn't care, anyway, I want to test my swordsmanship!" Yuan Ying said proudly: "Master is a half-step great master, even if he doesn't know swordsmanship, he can always parry one or two with a sword, right?" ”

"Parry one or two?" Zhao Ta sneered and was silent.

Bai Zhan glanced at Yuan Ying beside him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and looked at Bai Ba, Bai Ba also had the same expression, both of them thought in their hearts, this apprentice's head is really not bright, your master is best at swordsmanship, and it would be strange if he didn't beat you to "wow" screaming at that time.

Seeing that Zhao Ta didn't speak, Yuan Ying felt that her teacher was weak, and her eyebrows became even more joyful.

"Master, then I'll take the troops to Huaizhou tomorrow?"

Zhao Ta nodded, this rebel has a backbone in the back of his head, and it is estimated that he is thinking about how to defeat himself in the future, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to return to Huaizhou.

"Tomorrow you will be given 3,000 soldiers, all disguised, and then ask Yuanguo to go back with you!" Zhao Ta said: "By the way, let Wu Song also go, Wu Erlang has been promoted to grandmaster, and he can protect you when he arrives in Yuanzhuang." ”

When Yuan Ying heard that he was going to grab the gun again, Zhao Ta said: "If I am not mistaken, your Yuan family must still have a grandmaster, Wu Song will go with him, it will be more secure!" ”

"Okay......" Seeing that Zhao Ta was categorical, Yuan Ying hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, but thought in his heart, what if there was still a grandmaster in the family? As long as it's not the thirteenth brother, the person next to her may not be her opponent, although she is only a little grandmaster, she can't skip the challenge!

"If ......" Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows at this time: "Yuanjing is on Zhuangzi, so I will go and discuss with her first." ”

"When the nineteenth sister left, she told me that she wanted to go back to the Shenyu Palace, but she might not be in Zhuangzi." Yuan Yingdao.

"Oh, Yuan Jing has returned to the Divine Eagle Palace?" Zhao Ta nodded, Yuan Jing said it once when he left Huizhou, and now Yuan Ying also said the same, so it is true.

"Yes, Master, it seems that the thirteenth brother will also go with her, so there shouldn't be any masters in Yuanzhuang at the moment......" Yuan Ying's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhao Ta and whispered.

Zhao Ta ignored her, but said to Zhang Xian: "Let's go back to the customs." ”

Zhang Xian immediately ordered, and the ship turned around and headed back......

The next day, Tanma reported that the Shunzhou army was rushing towards the direction of Xiakou Pass, and there were all cavalry troops, about 30,000 horses.

Zhao Ta summoned everyone to discuss the matter, more than 30,000 horses are actually not much, but there are more than 50,000 Western Xia troops in Guannan, and the sum of the two is a lot.

In particular, if the two attack key problems at the same time, it will not be very easy to defend, because the north and south of the gorge pass are related, but there is no east and west, so it is very inconvenient to transfer troops and telecommunications, and once a war starts on both sides, there will be many constraints.

Li Gon was puzzled at this time and asked: "Lord Wang, what if the Xia army from the north and south agrees on the time to attack the city, the weather is bad and the rain is pouring down?" ”

Fan Rui said on the side: "How does the third brother's brain grow? Wouldn't it be better to make an appointment for two times, and if the first one fails, the second one will be used directly! ”

Li Gon was immediately ashamed and said, "Lord Wang, it's the subordinates who are too clumsy. ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid that if you don't have a real military, it will be good to go through more battlefields in the future." ”

Li Gon said: "The prince's lesson is true. ”

Fan Rui said: "Lord Wang, my three brothers originally occupied the mountain as a coward, and later went to Liangshan, but they never attacked and defended the city, and then went to Taihang Mountain to conquer Tianhu, and soon resigned and left, so they are not familiar with the city war." ”

Zhao Ta bowed his head and thought slightly: "Speaking of Liangshan, I just have something for the three of you brothers to do. ”

Fan Rui Xiangchong Li Gon immediately got up and hugged his fists: "The prince has an order, the three of us will go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and never give up!" ”

"Eh......" Zhao Ta pressed his hand: "Sit down, sit down, why do you say this, if it is really so dangerous, this king will take you away, why send you to death in vain." ”

"Ah, the prince is right...... the three of them immediately embarrassed, and said in their hearts that the prince is really a wonderful person, and then felt that such an idea was disrespectful, Fan Rui hurriedly said: "Please also ask the prince to command." ”

Zhao Ta whispered a few words, and the three of them immediately lit up, and said in unison: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "If this matter is done well, the three of you will be credited!" ”

The three of them said again: "But please rest assured, if you can't do it, you will definitely come to see you!" ”

Zhao Ta waved his hand, and the three of them immediately went out......

A hundred miles south of the Xiakou Pass, the Xixia camp is in the big tent of the army, and Mang Feng is holding a letter in his hand to watch.

The letter was written by Brother Richard himself, and the school guard sent to Shunzhou City to contact had just returned and brought back the news of Brother Richard.

Quite super Mangfeng read the letter, there was not much to say in the letter, a total of three siege times were agreed, three times are very safe, even if there is a bad weather in the middle, you can completely miss it, and change to the next time to attack.

After reading the letter, quite a super-mangfeng stood up from his chair, then walked out of the big tent, and looked north outside the tent door.

He is now over 50 years old, and he has been on the border for more than 20 years, and he should have seen all the winds and waves, but ...... But I have never seen Da Song so crazy.

The Great Song Dynasty actually started a war on two fronts, one line in the Liao State and the first line in the Western Xia, and all of them went deep into the hinterland.

It is taboo for soldiers to start a war on two fronts, unless the strength crushes the opponent, but when did the Song Kingdom have such strength again? What's more, even if you have strength, you may not be so strong, right?

The founding of the Great Song Dynasty has never been so bold, even when the army was at its peak, it was also very cautious, every time it was like walking on thin ice, how could it be like now, open and close, and there was a tendency to sweep the world.

Could it be that this Emperor of the Song Kingdom is really a generation of heroes?

First of all, the Qing Tang Dynasty, the right of Xialong, and the Jin State carved up the Great Liao, and at the same time actually attacked their Great Xia Kingdom, this raging momentum, it seems that they are rushing to destroy the Great Xia directly.

is so ambitious, gluttonous, and insatiable.

I heard that the emperor of this generation of Song is called Zhao Ji, and the spies of the Song realm found out the news before, and the Song Emperor announced that he sent Zhao Ta'er to invade Daxia, and also sealed the Zhao Ta'er Tiance General!

Admiral Tiance? This Emperor Song is too arrogant and arrogant, and he dares to seal such an official position!

Quite Chao Mangfeng naturally understands history, the party is good at studying Tang history, and Quite Chao Mangfeng has a clear history of Tiance and the future of Tiance, and he knows the Tiance government system very well.

That Zhao Ta'er is not the crown prince, and the prince can't go out of Gyeonggi to lead the troops, but he was awarded this official position by the Song Emperor, and the Song Emperor Zhao Ji is really so confident? Aren't you afraid that Kowloon will win the throne in the future!

Quite Chao Mangfeng can't figure it out, he really can't figure it out, and the deployment of troops in the Song State at the moment is also very strange, most of the generals of the Northwest Route Army were transferred away, and all the commanders of the Western Army left with their troops and went to Liaodi to fight, but Zhao Ta'er came from Tokyo and used Longyou's men and horses to attack Daxia.

What is this path?

Quite super Mangfeng can't understand it, he didn't transfer troops like this, after all, this kind of behavior is a bit redundant, and half of the Western Army directly attacked it, so why bother to change commanders with Tokyo, and the result is still Xihe soldiers?

Is it because of the stakes of this Zhao Ta'er in the war? It is said that he also has the title of the god of war in the Song Kingdom, but he can destroy the Iron Harrier, which is indeed worthy of this title, in contrast, the king of Jin, Brother Richard...... It's a little inferior!

But no matter how powerful he is, he is now alone, and his own side will contact Shunzhou, and attack the Xiakou Pass in the north and south, which will make him have no return, and hate Mingshajiang......

A day later, when the first autumn rain came, Zhao Tan stood at the head of the gorge, looking into the distance, and the Bai brothers behind him were holding umbrellas, but they were still wet.

Just look at the drizzle like a curtain, knocking on the oil-paper umbrella above your head, like a song and a chant, like a cry and a complaint.

The mountains and rivers are wet, like willow smoke, the green and yellow, the scenery is picturesque.

Zhao Ta looked into the distance, his eyes were a little lonely, as if he thought of something, and suddenly sighed softly: "Can you remember Jiangnan ......?"
