Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was angry, and Zhang Xiaochun said to himself that Zhang Hao sent 10,000 troops from Fenzhou, Shi Shu and Gao Feng sent 10,000 troops from Qixian and Taigu, and the three armies were all gathered in Taiyuan; but only Gao Feng's 5,000 men and horses arrived, and the other two armies were still delaying time on the road. Or Cao Qianli offered a plan, taking advance as retreat, and simply King Yun went north directly and forced Zhang Xiaochun to give him a hand; Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was Song Huizong's favorite son, even if he couldn't be the emperor, as long as something happened, Zhang Xiaochun's move was a deliberate plot, and the destruction of the nine clans was the lightest.

Zhao Kaicai, under the persuasion of Cao Qianli and Cao Wanchu brothers, sent troops to Lai County with Gao Feng; when they learned that Yang Zhi had broken the Western Xia Army, the seed master Dao would take the prisoners to Lai County, and Yang Zhi offered the Poor Son Jia and good horses, Zhao Kai and Cao Qianli and others couldn't help but be overjoyed. Zhao Kai immediately arranged for someone to send a good horse and a poor son to return to Bianliang to Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and the two sides met in Lao County for less than three days, and they were reported one after another, Huang Di captured Hunyuan County, Wang Ping captured Jincheng, and Yang Zhi captured Shuozhou; Zhao Kai was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately sent people to Taiyuan and Bianliang to report the good news.

Liang Juewu rushed to Lao County, and learned that Yelu Rui had dedicated Huanzhou, and even the teacher was stunned, this was the first Liao general who took the initiative to dedicate the city; Liang Juewu couldn't tell the doorway, but Cao Qianli was clear: "Huanzhou Yelu is given the surname, when Yang Gon accompanied Yelu Deguang to the south, he was given the name Yelu Dilu by Yelu Deguang, Yang Gon is also a master of the eighteen Shaolin families, and Taizu is equally famous, and once led the division to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty, and I fought with the Great Song Dynasty. But in terms of relationship, Yang Gon and Yang Zhi's ancestor Yang Xin are brothers in the clan. ”

Meng Yue nodded and said: "Lord Cao is not bad at all, the position of the hereditary training envoy of Huanzhou Yelu is actually a false title, Yelu Rui is more famous in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as a local tycoon." ”

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, clapped the board and said: "For the time being, the breeder Dao is the commander of the military and horses in Yunzhong, and Yang Zhi is the governor of Shuozhou and manages the military horses of Shuohuan and Shuozhou; I'll report to my father, general, how do you see how to use the troops later?"

Seed Master Dao muttered: "At the junction of Shuozhou and Western Xia, Yang Zhi's Canglang battalion is all transferred to Shuozhou, so that Yang Zhi can capture the entire territory of Shuozhou and prevent the army of Western Xia from reinforcing Datong; Among the three states of Liao, only 2,000 people from Huanzhou retreated into Datong, and now it is estimated that the Liao army in Datong should be between 5 and 7,000 people, even if there is no Canglang battalion, our strength is superior. ”

How could the seed master not understand Zhao Kai's thoughts, Zhao Kai hoped that Zong Ze could command the army to defeat Datong Mansion, and then according to the arrangement of Yang Zhi and Wang Ping, with Zong Ze as the governor of Datong;

In addition to Huanzhou, which is a city in Xijing Province of Liaoguo, Datong Prefecture has jurisdiction over seven counties in one prefecture, two prefectures, including Datong Prefecture, Hongzhou, Dezhou, Datong County, Yunzhong, Tiancheng, Changqing, Fengyi, Huairen, and Huai'an County; Ulzhou manages six counties of Ulzhou, Lingxian, Ding'an, Feihu, Lingqiu, and Guangling; Yingzhou manages Jincheng, Hunyuan, and Heyang counties; Shuozhou manages Shanyang, Wuzhou, Ningyuan, and Shenwu counties. Now the Song army has only occupied four counties, which is far from it.

When he arrived in Jincheng, he learned that Shenwu County in Shuozhou and Heyang County in Yingzhou had been defeated, and the seed master sent a letter to Yang Zhi of Shuozhou, agreeing not to capture Ningyuan County for the time being, the so-called Ningyuan County is a stockade on the border between Western Xia and Liao, and its actual value is not large; as the army approached Datong Mansion, the army of Zong Ze and Huang Di had begun to contact the Liao army, and the small battles continued every day, but the courage of the soldiers was vigorous, and the successive battles in Shuozhou and Yingzhou affected the momentum of the Liao army, and the two sides could not hold each other on the first line of Jinsha Beach in Huairen County.

The two armies of Shi Shu and Zhang Hao arrived at the front line, and learned that the leader in front of him was Yelu Bude, the deputy capital of the Liao State, and Datong Mansion stayed behind to guard Xiao Daoning, while the Liao army had only 5,000 cavalry, but Zong Ze had less than 3,000 cavalry out of 20,000 people, and could only fight with the opponent on a small scale. There are 3,000 cavalry in Zhang Hao's army, and the division road simply concentrates 5,000 cavalry to form an army for training, and transfers Wang Ping to the north, and there is no way to plant the division road, and Zong Ze's subordinates lack the kind of generals who are good at using cavalry, so they can only hope for Wang Ping.

Wang Ping got the order, immediately packed up the equipment, war horses and two thousand cavalry, and rushed to the golden beach after a day's work, came to see the seed master and said: "The materials and equipment sent by Taiyuan are exhausted, and the army needs to be reorganized and rested for a few days, so I will lead two thousand cavalry to help the battle first." ”

The seed master said with a smile: "Yes, it is already a great victory to be able to rely on the infantry army to capture the two cities, I will hand over 5,000 cavalry to you, and you will find a way to defeat the Liao army." ”

After hearing this, Wang Ping stared at the seed master with a calm face and said: "General, do you have to fight like this? The end of the strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Mian, and the army training of the Great Song Dynasty is not good, it is cultivated by battle, and you can't cherish the army too much, so let's do it, I promise you, but I need the assistance of Zong Ze and their 20,000 infantry troops." ”

Seeing such expressions, Wang Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't you bring the army, from the northwest to Hebei and back to the northwest for so long, the whole army has not been repaired, I don't have as many crooked ways as Yang Zhi, and there are no fierce generals like Yue Fei and Zhang San." ”

Wang Ping is telling the truth, Yang Zhi, Yue Fei, and Zhang San are almost all rare fierce generals, even if they are one-on-one with the elite of the Liao army, they also win more and lose less, but these three people are as cunning as foxes, so the Canglang battalion has not broken its muscles and bones in successive battles, and if it were any other army, the old foundation would have been exhausted long ago. Seed Master Dao shook his head and said: "This is not important, now there are only 5,000 elites left in Datong Mansion, we can fight, let Zhang Hao and Huang Di help each other." ”

Zhang Hao and Huang Di's two armies were both regular armies of the Great Song Dynasty, and their equipment was much stronger than Zong Ze's daring soldiers, but Wang Ping was not wrong, the next day the two sides fought for a day, Zhang Hao's two armies fought hard with Yelu, and they were defeated one after another, until Wang Ping's 7,000 cavalry launched the final charge, and the Liao army retreated; counting the men and horses, the Song army lost more than 6,000 people, Zong Ze gritted his teeth and said: "The corpses at the scene were less than 3,000, and there were 4,000 people who escaped." ”

Huang Di was a little anxious, he was different from Zhang Hao, he had no foundation, and he obtained this position completely by climbing to Zhao Kai, so he wanted to make contributions in this Northern Expedition, and proposed: "General, let's just put the whole army on tomorrow, anyway, there are many of us, and we have to consume them." ”
