Jin Ge is like the sun, the iron horse is like a mountain, and the black clouds are crushing the city.

After the war, Zhao Ta only rested for one day, and then urged the army to go north and go straight to Shunzhou.

There is no other reason, the news of the raid on Xingzhou has been transmitted, but it is not clear, only that Xingzhou was attacked, and I don't know whether there is a city or not.

Therefore, Zhao Ta can't wait any longer, no matter whether General Lu takes Xingzhou or not, he has to march forward.

If Lü will take Xingzhou, he must immediately march to echo.

If you don't take it, you have to march, and then join forces in one place, and attack the past, it is bound to succeed in one fell swoop, and you can't wait for the soldiers and horses from all over the Western Xia to come to the rescue.

At this moment, more than 20,000 Xia soldiers from the last battle have been recruited and captured, and the total number of soldiers is close to 100,000.

An army of 100,000 rushed straight to Shunzhou.

Shunzhou is empty in time and space, fighting repeatedly, dispatching troops, there are less than 10,000 horses in the city, only more than seven or eight thousand, barely defending the city.

However, when the news of the sneak attack on Xingzhou came before, half of the seven or eight thousand went to the rescue, and only three or four thousand people remained, which was nothing compared to the huge city.

100,000 soldiers crushed the past, and there was no need for any strategy at all, and they directly attacked.

Shunzhou is a big city, but the bigger the city, the more difficult it is, the army is divided into four city walls, less than a thousand people, only a few hundred.

These hundreds of soldiers guarded a city wall several miles long, and how could they protect it, and they were directly taken down without even half a day.

After getting off Shunzhou, Zhao Ta immediately sent a scout horse to the north, and more than 100 miles north was Xingzhou City.

At this moment, the terrain is in the shape of a four-star ring moon, Shunzhou is at the bottom, and the northeast and upward are Jingzhou, Huaizhou, and Dingzhou, presenting a semi-arc, wrapping Xingzhou in the middle.

Behind Xingzhou is Helan Mountain, and in front is Huaizhou, the nearest acropolis, located due east, only a few dozen miles away.

Zhao Ta scattered hundreds of horses at a time, and the army only made a slight adjustment, and all of them were pulled out of the city, making a gesture of going north at any time.

In a hurry to report that the horse's legs were almost broken, the fur in the middle of his pants was worn out, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed and dusty.

But it was precisely because of this that he saw the urgency of the situation, Zhao Ta hurriedly summoned him, and this Tanma brought back a news that made him extremely excited, Xingzhou was defeated by General Lu's raid!

Xingqing Mansion is in turmoil, and Xingzhou City is in turmoil.

Zhao Ta was excited, and at this time, another Tanma came back to report, saying that Li Qianshun abandoned the city and hid in Helan Mountain.

The matter is urgent, Zhao Ta hurriedly dispatched troops, after all, General Lu has few people, although he took Xingzhou, but I am afraid it will not last long, Li Qianshun escaped, he will gather all the departments, if he does not catch up early, then Xingzhou will inevitably have some mistakes.

Xingzhou is now sure that under the pressure of bombs, General Lu is less than 10,000 soldiers, Xingzhou is the capital of the Western Xia, the largest city, with a large population, but for fear of chaos, there is a possibility of collapse from time to time, and his own side must rush over immediately to help suppress it, and then directly announce the destruction of the Western Xia!

As long as the destruction of the Western Xia is declared, the structure of the supervision military region with the sparse and scattered land of the Western Xia may collapse directly, and the supervision military region with soldiers is in charge of the government alone, and those without soldiers will be dispersed directly, and then they can just sweep all the way over.

Zhao Ta quickly ordered, and the 100,000-strong army marched straight to Xingzhou.

The soldiers are fast, and the infantry in the 100,000 army is too slow, so Zhao Ta ordered Luda, Xu Ning, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Huang Xin, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, eight generals, and brought 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the Chinese army was left to Du Yi to command, and the vanguard rushed to Xingzhou first.

More than 100 miles is not far for light riders, starting in the morning, and approaching the evening, you will see the city of Xingzhou.

This Xingzhou is a rectangular city, nearly 30 miles in circumference, the moat is ten zhang wide, two gates in the north and south, one door in the east and west, after the Zhou Dynasty, it is Huaiyuan County, which belongs to Lingzhou, the county is abolished in the early Song Dynasty as the town, after Li Jiqian seized Lingzhou, Lingzhou was changed to Xiping Mansion, after Li Deming succeeded to the throne, he thought that Xiping Mansion lived in the place of Sisai, and the situation was not as favorable as Huaiyuan, so he built a big city in Huaiyuan, set the capital here, and named Xingzhou.

And when Li Yuanhao, and the vast construction of the palace city, Shengxingzhou for Xingqing Mansion, and here formally set up a civil and military class, build the south of the city, in the first year of the Heavenly Rite Law Yanzuo was canonized here, that is, the emperor's throne, the Western Xia dynasties are all capitals, to Li Qianshun at this time, greater for the construction, all kinds of palaces and temples are innumerable, a time of prosperity is incomparable.

Zhao Ta looked at Xingzhou City, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with an order, 10,000 cavalry rushed over......

Half an hour later, in front of the Xixia Palace, Zhao Ta looked at General Lu who was kneeling in front of him, helped him up with his own hands, and laughed: "It is not up to the fact that this king saved you from Fang La's hands, and today he has made such a great achievement!" ”

General Lu said shamefully: "Lord Wang, my subordinates dare not be ashamed, at that time, General Lu was just a captive ear." ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and dragged Lu Jiang's arm: "Get up and take a look at the luxury of this Xixia palace with this king." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and strode towards the palace, followed by Lu Jiang, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Lu Da, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and others.

The style of the Western Xia Imperial Palace is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, focusing on the splendor, the treasures are piled up, the gold is shining, and there are some exotic customs.

After walking a few halls, Zhao Ta inquired about the military situation, and learned that Li Qianshun was still in Helan Mountain, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you flee to the east?" ”

The location of Xingzhou, desolate to the west, the ancient Great Wall behind Helan Mountain, and the ancient Great Wall to the west are the two connected Hanhai Desert, although there is no Jedi, but it is far away from the military department, and it is not easy to run to.

And to the east is different, to the east is Huaizhou, Lingzhou, Lingzhou and then go to the east, is a few military divisions along the border, especially Lingzhou itself is the second largest city in Western Xia, Li Qianshun did not go to Lingzhou is really wondering.

General Lu said: "Lord Wang, Li Qianshun is not going to Lingzhou, his subordinates suspect that Brother Li Cha is there!" ”

"Brother Richard in Lingzhou?" Zhao Ta reached out and touched his chin, and said with a smile: "Brother Richard is in Lingzhou, so Li Qianshun doesn't go?" This late Western Xia Jun is really too cautious! ”

Hearing the four words of the end of the Western Xia, everyone behind him also laughed together, and General Lu said: "Lord Wang, that's exactly the case, if you are not careful, you will not let Lingzhou go, and enter Helan Mountain, but there are few subordinate soldiers, and you can't go into the mountain to search." ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while and said: "Helan Mountain is big, majestic and steep, I can guess where he hid, as long as he doesn't come out and go elsewhere, when the army arrives behind, I will personally lead the troops to search, but now there are two other things that are more urgent." ”

General Lu said: "Lord, but the announcement of the destruction of the Western Xia and the pacification of this city?" ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "It is precisely these two things, today I will prepare a book to announce the four kingdoms of the world, the destruction of the Western Xia, and the pacification of the city...... Have you killed everything that should be killed? ”

Lu Jiang said: "This ...... The subordinates did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and only waited for the prince's order. ”

Zhao Ta thought slightly, and then said: "After killing, I will be appeased, but if there are Western Xia courtiers who are unwilling to surrender, there is no need to ask the second time, but if there is the slightest sign of resistance, there is no need to interrogate all of them, but if there is anyone who slanders the Heavenly Army, all of them will not be left, and the above people will destroy the three clans regardless of Han Xia!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Jiang said: "My subordinates will do it now!" ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "Hurry up and do it, and then appease, the sooner the better!" ”

Watching General Lu take Yang Zhi and Shi Jin away, Zhao Ta's expression became slightly complicated.

Capture the enemy's capital, according to convention, is to kill a wave of Liwei.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and there will be no slaughter of the city, which is already considered mercy, not to mention that there is no punishment of the nine clans, but only the three clans.

In the war of annihilation, under the general trend, the party fought against each other, only targeting the rebels, which can not be called particularly brutal.

Two days later, the letter announcing the world was sent everywhere, and it was not scribbled, but had a fixed format and statute.

And it's not that you say that you will destroy the country, you have to list all kinds of things, and it is best to have a subordinate to elaborate, so as to have deterrence and persuasion.

As for the surrender of ministers, there has never been a shortage of them, all dynasties have been like this, there is no shortage of martyrs, and there are many people who are scrambling to surrender, not to mention the court, that is, there are countless in the clan, so this book is not half laborious, it is reasonable and well-founded, and the frame and evidence are complete, and it is sent to all parts of the Western Xia, as well as the Great Song Dynasty, the Uighurs, the Tubo, Dali and other places.

And the murder and the eradication of disobedience are also being carried out at the same time, and the heads are rolling, and several execution grounds in Xingzhou are bloody, and the corpses are constantly transported outside the city.

A few days later, the original population of Xingzhou City was one-fifth less, this is only the three tribes of Yi, if it is the nine tribes, according to the killing standard given by Zhao Ta, I am afraid that there will be half left.

Then continue to reorganize the army, continue to surrender, continue to recruit troops, and then Zhao Ta divided the troops into three ways.

All the way to the north, defend the military division of Baimaqiang Town and the military division of Weifu of Montenegro, as for the nearest military division of the right wing of the north of Chaoshun, there is only an empty shell left, and the soldiers and horses have long been emptied by Richard, and the army will directly occupy it as soon as it passes.

The other way went east, first to fight the three acropolis of Dingzhou, Huaizhou, and Jingzhou, and then to command Lingzhou.

If Lingzhou goes down again, then even if there are soldiers and horses in the left wing of the border in front, such as the Shenyong Military Division, the Xiangyou Military Division, the Jianing Military Division, and the Jingsai Military Division, there is nothing to worry about, because the back road has been cut off, and those military divisions are like rootless water, duckweed on the river, and they can't turn up any wind and waves, so they can only be slaughtered.

The Gansu Military Division, the Xiping Military Division, and the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town in the west are not too many people stationed in the west, and they are far away from Xingqing, so there is no threat.

The last way, it is to besiege all the lower mountain passes of Helan Mountain, Helan Mountain is large, it is impossible to surround them all, even if all the lower mountain passes are blocked, it is not easy, 10,000 soldiers and horses are scattered everywhere, but reluctantly.

If three or five people want to get out of the mountain and leave, then as long as they are cautious, do not take the normal path, and dig into the forest to clear the trees, then these soldiers will not find out.

But when Li Qianshun entered the mountain, he brought thousands of guards, and there were many palace concubines, if he left together, it was impossible not to be noticed, unless he only took a few people to leave quietly, but in this case, he would not have had to take so many people up the mountain at that time, which was contrary to common sense.

At this moment, the roads and roads outside Helan Mountain have been blocked, and it is not as difficult as when Xingqing was first broken, and then it is extremely difficult to go far away and leave Xingqing Mansion.

Therefore, even if you can sneak down the mountain, it is not easy to escape, and this road soldier can still play a role.

A few days later, the eastward army was invincible, and successively defeated the three states of Jing, Huai, and Ding, and directly confronted Lingzhou.

And Yuan Ying, Yuan Guo, and Wu Song also took the head of the Yuan family to mix Yuan Kun and go to Xingzhou to restore his life.

Yuan Kun has suffered a lot of evil anger along the way, Yuan Guo finds fault everywhere, sneers at nothing else, and says that he wants to "click" him at every turn, so as to change his father Yuan Cheng to the top position.

Yuan Kun and Yuan Cheng's martial arts are almost the same, they are both in the realm of a small grandmaster, and the two exercises are also the same, both of them are Yuan family heirloom mastery mixed Yuan thunderbolts.

Two of them are nicknamed Mixed Yuan Zhang, the other is nicknamed Thunderbolt Boxing, half a catty and eight taels, big witches and small witches, the difference is that one is a vein, and the other is a vein.

So Yuan Guo was unconvinced, why could he Yuan Kun be the head of the patriarch's family, but his father Yuan Cheng couldn't do it? I am already Han, why don't I let my father become Han too?

Before in Yuanzhuang, he thought about killing chickens and monkeys, and then pushed his father up, but unfortunately Yuankun had already seen through his little trick and surrendered directly, so that he had nowhere to go.

Yuan Guo didn't succeed, he was angry and repeatedly found fault along the way, and Yuan Kun didn't pay attention to him, anyway, this evil beast didn't have any martial arts, and it was just a mouth, and he didn't have that ability to secretly kill him.

After arriving in Xingzhou, they went to Zhao Ta to give orders, and after Zhao Ta gave a few notes, he asked Yuan Kun to interrogate.

After asking, he directly sealed Yuan Kun's official position as the chief instructor of the infantry, which was regarded as stabilizing his position as the head of the family, and made Yuan Guo stare at him.

Then continue to use grace and power to stabilize and appease the situation in Xingqing, and at this time, everywhere in Western Xia, except for the territory occupied by Zhao Ta, and the Xiangqing army where Brother Li Cha was in, became more and more chaotic.

There was chaos in some places, small chaos in some places, and even the Xiping Military Division in the west directly announced that it would break away from Xixia, because Xixia died, and its own name was changed to Xipingzhou.

Zhao Ta is in Xingzhou City, reading the military reports everywhere, but they are also in line with the prediction in his heart, the so-called trees are scattered, each running to the future, probably so, this is still his own army has not swept away from the ground, otherwise it is estimated that some places will fall directly.

On this day, he took six Yuanying, Yuanguo, Baiba, Bai Zhan, Luda, and Wu Song, and led 5,000 men and horses to Helan Mountain.

Li Qianshun has fled into Helan Mountain for more than ten days, and there has been no news, and no trace of escape has been found under the mountain, so Zhao Ta is ready to search the mountain himself.

In fact, even if Li Qianshun did not enter the mountain, he decided to clear and suppress Helan Mountain.

Not only for the words that broke through the lack of Helan Mountain before, but also because the free door is in Helan Mountain.

As the national sect of Western Xia, Zizaimun must be completely solved, if after he occupies Xingzhou, Zizaimun takes the initiative to surrender, then he can let it go, but for so long Zizaimun has not said anything at all, and the attitude is very clear, which represents disobedience and intention to resist.

As long as they want to resist, there is no need and value for all of them, not to mention that Zhao Ta guessed that Li Qianshun would hide in the free gate after going up the mountain.

In that case, the Gate of Freedom must be destroyed......
