My debut, which has 400,000 public chapters, please support the big guys, every one of your VIPs and every flower is an affirmation of my hard work, and it is also the motivation for me to continue to work hard, and then please support the genuine, thank you! ******

The person who came with Han Shizhong was Chen Dong, a scholar, Chen Dong is not a simple person, Xiao Ming knows this person, that is a famous figure in history, this Chen Dong can be regarded as the earliest initiator of the student movement in China, and he personally published the "Book of Six Thieves" and caused a large-scale **, is a very famous and outstanding student leader.

Chen Dong's arrival represents the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to be able to make the trip, the court quarreled into a pot of porridge, that is, the specific attitude towards the Western Xia, now the king of the Southern Yuan of the Liao State commanded the army directly to Dingzhou, directly threatening the Xingqing Mansion, not to mention, but also recently defeated the Western Xia 150,000 army, the Western Xia Empire suddenly became meat on the chopping block!

And at this time, it was definitely the time for the Great Song Dynasty to stand in line, and then the small actions on the Song side of the Song Dynasty on the Song-Xia border had already appeared, and the successor was the Fengning Army Chengxuan Envoy, the Guards Infantry Army and the Horse Army were all in command, and the famous general was the younger brother of the Seed Division, and Yang Zhen was promoted to the deputy commander of the Infantry Army and the Ma Army.

In addition, Yang Zhen, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Western Xia's troops on the Song-Xia border, continued to invade from the south and seized several prefectures and counties.

The idea is very simple, that is, to merge the entire Yongxing Road and Qinfeng Road into the Shaanxi Road Quanjing, which was divided seven years ago in Xining, and to open up the Hexi Corridor for a generation and restore the territory of the Han and Tang dynasties in China.

Surprisingly, Tong Guan praised this and tried his best to promote it, these people are actually the team of the Western Army, and how many years of war have they fought with the Western Xia, it is impossible to say that there is no hatred, since the Song and Xia had fought each other, the war has been repeated for decades, and the Great Song Dynasty has thrown in how much food and soldiers have been thrown in it, and of course, there are famous generals in the world.

The most famous is the Di family general, the descendant of Di Qing, let be an official in the court, and then the Hu family general, who is the descendant of Hu Yanzan, and now he is also the heir of the title, in addition to the Cao family general, after Cao Shun, the Zheng family general, after Zheng En Zheng Ziming, in addition to the Yang family general who is very influential among the people.

These famous generals have fought with the Western Xia army more or less later, and now the court is more or less influential, so Song Huizong decided that he still can't, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and not seek benefits here, and no one will give up when the courtiers below, so he made a very compromise decision.

That is, to send Chen Dong, a new bachelor of Gongshi, to meet Xiao Ming, although Chen Dong has an official position, but the bachelor of Tai Academy is not a real power figure, so it will not leave anyone with a truth, and the new Baode Army system envoy, Hedong Road Soldiers and Horses Commander Seed Master Dao proposed that his subordinate Wu Jielang and Han Shizhong, the deputy commander of the infantry army, escort Chen Dong.

Han Shizhong has been on the line of King Kang Zhao Gou since he hit the line, and everyone is also impressed by him, fortunately, Han Shizhong himself still has two sons, and his relationship with Xiao Ming was also told to Huizong by King Kang, and the court thinks that this is the best candidate, because Han Shizhong's official is not big, and he does not explain any problems.

Chen Dong came and conveyed the ultimate meaning of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to cooperate with Xiao Ming's military operations, what they wanted to obtain was land, if necessary, the Song army spread along the Yellow River on the Suzhou line, to put military pressure on the Western Xia, and also to take advantage of the situation to attack Ganzhou to coerce Liangzhou, from Qingzhou to the east to attack the Zhongwei Mansion, and to attack the Xingqing Mansion of the Western Xia royal court.

People's wishful thinking is very good, but Xiao Ming won't be stupid, don't talk about the conditions, Xiao Ming is not as good as before, at that time he was asking for people, but now it's different, now it's people begging him, if you don't talk about some conditions, it's obviously unreasonable to seek some benefits for yourself.

The conditions he put forward were very simple, that is, the right to operate coal and iron, which was owned by the Taiping Iron Works in a concealed way, and this kind of operation was still relatively difficult, but Xiao Ming had already thought of a way, that is, the Great Song Dynasty must set up an "official management agency for coal and iron business" represented by Xiao Ming to participate in the management and operation.

The Great Song Dynasty wanted to carry out military operations against Western Xia, it was necessary to follow Xiao Ming's deployment, unify the command, and designate a special Song army general to cooperate, this candidate was set as the deputy commander of the infantry army and the horse army, Yang Zhen Yang Zifa, why not choose the division, Xiao Ming has his own considerations, this is the truth, of course, find his own trustworthy talents.

Chen Dong, a scholar, drafted the agreement and listed all the opinions of both parties, and after Xiao Ming read these terms carefully, he nodded and said with a smile: "Very good!" Mr. Chen is worthy of being a bachelor who has learned to be rich and rich, and this article is so good, I just didn't understand it! ”

Chen Dong was stunned, and then smiled: "If King Xiao doesn't see it clearly, I can read it to you, and I'll explain it to you if it's not clear......

"No need" Xiao Ming waved his hand and said: "I know all these terms, but I can't sign them, even if I sign them, I can't count them, and even if I do, I can't spread them...... You know what I mean? ”

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "I don't understand, why is this?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "This agreement can't represent the Great Liao State, it can only represent my private, at present, this team of wars actually belongs to my private army, how can an agreement be signed between a private person and a country, this is not suitable between countries, the agreement between us is a gentleman's agreement, and His Majesty Huizong will not recognize this."

Chen Dong is a little confused, what is private and state? He asked, "Then King Xiao, what do you say should be done?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "This agreement can't be signed, and you can't have full authority to represent the Great Song Dynasty, if you really want an agreement, then you still need the jade seal of His Majesty Huizong, but I personally can neither represent the Great Liao nor the individual, in a word, the gentleman's agreement, the Great Song Dynasty wants land, I will give it to you, if necessary, I can assist you to hit Shazhou!" ”

Chen Dongdao: "Then how do I reply to the court and Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "You can just go back to this agreement, you let them see, I, Xiao Ming, only represent me, not the king of the Southern Courtyard, Lord Chen, I still have to live in Liao, you can't let me do this, right?" ”

Chen Dong finally understood that Xiao Ming didn't want to openly sell any land on behalf of the Great Liao State, but as a private person, he could, so all this could not see the light of day, it could only be a gentleman's agreement, and the content of these agreements could not be seen, and it must be kept secret.

Chen Dong already knew what to do, so he resigned and returned to Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty, but Han Shizhong stayed, it was Xiao Ming who strongly recommended him to stay and let him be a military observer of the Great Song Dynasty, mainly because he wanted to keep Han Shizhong by his side completely, and with Han Liangchen's talent, he would help him share a lot of things.

Xiao Ming stayed in Dingzhou City here, the time was not short, it was almost September, the eastward Liaoxi Jiedu made Yelu Xiaoju Die, led 50,000 elite soldiers to enter the Yongning City, was blocked by Li Cunzhong's department in Western Xia, the two armies fought, Yelu Xiaoju Die failed to win.

He was blocked in Yongning but asked Xiao Ming for support, but Xiao Ming asked him to come to Dingzhou first to protect the city for him, because his next military operation was about to be launched, the military town established by the Western Xia in the Altay region of Lijili City, the garrison general Ye Lihong, had already sent troops south, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses borrowed by the Western Xia from the Xizhou Uighurs were also coming, and they and the army of the Western Xia Left Wing Chaoshun Soldiers and Horses formed a coalition army claiming to have 200,000!

This is regarded as attacking Xiao Ming from the north to the south, this month, Xiao Ming used all the tens of thousands of prisoners of the Western Xia army to strengthen the city wall and dig a moat outside the city, in just one month, the city wall was raised to 20 meters, and a moat with a width of five meters was dug along the periphery of the city, from all indications that Xiao Ming wanted to defend here.

But not long after Xiao Ming came to meet Yelu Xiaoju Die, he led the army to set off, targeting the northern Altay region, and the target was directly to Lijili City, before leaving, he explained to Yelu Xiaoju Die: "The general can stay here for half a month, and after half a month, I will immediately return to the division and go south, and then we will take Xingqing Mansion directly."

Yelu Xiaoju Die didn't dare to disobey, obeyed his orders, and led 50,000 elite soldiers to guard the imperial Dingzhou Mansion, he still had some confidence, Xiao Ming was also 50,000 horses, didn't he just defeat the 150,000 army of Western Xia, his own troops were elite, couldn't he still hold it when he defended the city?

So the next day Xiao Ming led the army out of the north city, to the north, the team lined up in five rows, mixed with baggage supplies, the mighty march to the north, along the way the banner to show a great momentum, sure enough, the Xixia Ye Li Hongbu who was going south, after hearing the news, was afraid, not only did not go south, but turned back to Lijili City.

Xiao Ming's army drove straight in, and soon arrived at the city of Lijiri, and when he saw the castle built with rammed earth, Xiao Ming smiled, so he sent a letter to the guard Ye Lihong, urging him to surrender, and at noon the next day, he hung a white flag on the city tower, if not, the city of Lijili would be washed in blood.

Han Shizhong, who was with the army, was very strange and asked Yang Qizhong: "This handsome, how can you be so sure?" It seems that the other side also has more than 50,000 defenders! “

Yang Qizhong said: "The handsome use of soldiers, it's strange!" I don't understand, but he's so confident that he must have taken me again, and I have no doubt about that! ”

After the messenger entered the city, he reported to Xiao Ming, Ye Lihong refused to surrender and was rearming for battle! Xiao Ming sneered: "Yo ho! Shame on your face! Well, don't let him see the coffin, and he won't shed tears! ”

So early the next morning, Xiao Ming set up a formation outside the city, the war drums beat loudly, and the horns blew into the sky, but none of these soldiers and horses moved, but asked Qian Baguang to set up two steel pipe howitzers, and the other bronze cannons were lined up, but they did not use them, but only fired two cannons with steel cannons.

These two shells directly blasted a large hole and gap several meters wide into the south gate wall of Lijili City! The Western Xia soldiers, who were already hiding in the city and trembling, directly broke down psychologically, and the legendary Lei Gong Zhentian Thunder finally became powerful! People are helping the gods to fight, and we are still a fart!

So not long after the smoke of gunpowder in the city dissipated, a white flag was erected on the city tower, the Western Xia defenders surrendered, and Xiao Ming took the city ...... Lijili lightly!
