The clerk passed through Ganzhou Fang, not far from the city gate, and turned into Hulu Lane, stopped at the third gate, and knocked softly, which was a nice house, and the door was opened, and a servant led the clerk in.

Not far away, Yang Zhi and Zhu Liang, who were in disguise, could see clearly that Geng Si and the veterans were all designed scenes, so Yang Zhi personally came to the scene to watch; After asking clearly that this was not the official's home, Yang Zhi whispered to Zhu Liang: "You keep an eye on this house, figure out the people who come in and out of the front and back doors, don't arrest anyone now, let them spread the news, and do it together in three days; ”

Zhu Liang nodded and said, "Yang Shuai, don't worry, the last thing we can believe in this line is coincidence, I don't think it will be wrong." ”

Yang Zhicai didn't care if these little people were injured by accident, he needed to go around the other four places to see if there was anything else to gain; in the past day, Yang Zhi and the others were constantly discussing changing the plan, and the messengers who went out of the city in disguise were sent more than a dozen times.

The same situation was also found in the transshipment department, a Bai Chang who slipped out finally arrived at this house, and three groups of people came out of the house, respectively as merchants, visiting relatives, and fishermen to the bank of the Yellow River, and the traffic on both sides was interrupted, only the fisherman dragged out a small boat that had been hidden a long time ago, and secretly went to the opposite bank at dusk. Zhu Liang saw it really in the telescope, and said to Gao Ziyu on the side: "This telescope invented by Yang Shuai is really a good thing, saving the risk of forcible investigation." ”

Gao Ziyu said with a smile: "Now that everything is ready, it depends on the movement of Lingzhou." Richard Brother took all the captured troops to Lingzhou, Xingzhou is a lonely city, the naval army of the Dingbei Army has begun to transport troops across the river to attack, yesterday Quduan launched a fierce battle, one time to transport 3,000 soldiers across the Yellow River, killing thousands of Western Xia troops, and those nomadic tribes that were originally driven away also took this opportunity to loot around Xingzhou, enough for the Tangut people to drink a pot. ”

Yang Zhi received Zhu Liang's report, and immediately asked Gao Ziyu to arrange for the master and the army to monitor the movements of the army on the Lingzhou side at night, and sent someone to inform Yue Fei; on the night of the next day, the scouts of the Dingbei army discovered the movements of the Western Xia army, and they withdrew part of the army at night, about six or seven thousand people. Yang Zhi decided not to care, but just informed Qu Duan and Liu Ziyu to be careful and not to cross the river for the time being.

In the next few days, the Western Xia army left Lingzhou every night, and did not come back during the day; Yang Zhi still waited patiently for the news from Xingzhou, Cao Zimu finally chose Western Xia between interests and the country, but Yang Zhi secretly reached an agreement with Yun Langhuan, in addition to the fine work arranged by Shi Mojie in Xiazhou, there was also the echo of Yun Langhuan and others in the official mansion. After confirming that the Western Xia army had arrived in Xingzhou, Yang Zhi ordered Yue Fei to attack; if Richard really withdrew from Lingzhou, leaving only Ren Dejing's original troops to hold on to Lingzhou, Yang Zhi believed that Ren Dejing would not be Yue Fei's opponent.

On April 19, Yue Fei led the army of 30,000 from Anlechuan to attack the Qingbian town in the south of Lingzhou, the defender will be Ren Dejing's brother Ren Deren, due to the logistics supply can not be helped, at this time there are only three days of grain in the army, Yue Fei took advantage of the dawn to order the siege, Yue Fei sat under the banner of Jing to command the siege, Ren Deren also led the defenders to resist stubbornly according to the city, the two sides fought fiercely for half a day, Wei Dingguo commanded the firearms battalion to blow up the city wall, the Dingbei army rushed into the city, beheaded 4,000 people of the Western Xia army, Ren Deren committed suicide.

Seeing that there was no reinforcement from Lingzhou, Yue Fei immediately divided his troops into two routes, ordered Xu Wendong to attack Bogulu City, and led the main force to take Mingsha Town. Xu Wen waited for reinforcements from Niu Gao and Wei Dingguo in Bogulu City to launch a general attack, Xu Wen was unstoppable, and was the first to rush into the city and capture more than 5,000 people under Ren Chunzhong, the governor of Western Xia Huizhou.

When the battle report reached Youzhou, it was basically confirmed that the captured army had withdrawn to Xingzhou; Liu Ziyu's fleet also withdrew from Xiazhou, and immediately led more than 10,000 people to kill the Yellow River with Wu Lan, forming a flanking attack with Yue Fei, Ren Dejing was defeated in successive battles, losing more than 7,000 people, and was soon beaten by Yue Fei to the city of Lingzhou. Ren Dejing understood that although he still had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, he would definitely not be able to resist the fierce offensive of the Dingbei Army, so he secretly planned to break through.

When the balloons of the Dingbei army floated in the sky at the corner of the city wall, throwing down thunderbolts, the morale of the city head suddenly sank to the extreme; after two days of hard fighting, the city wall was finally blown up by Yue Fei, Xu Wen took the lead in killing the city, and the two thousand heavily armored long sword soldiers were invincible, killing more than 4,000 Xixia foot cavalry, so that the follow-up army continued to enter the city. And Ren Dejing did not choose to fight in the streets, and fled directly from the north gate with 5,000 cavalry, even if Niu Gao and Wu Lan were in hot pursuit, under Ren Dejing's tactics of breaking his arm to survive, he only killed more than 2,000 cavalry after the break, and Ren Dejing fled.

Yang Zhi corresponded with Wu'er Siqi again, proposing to exchange Ren Chunzhong for Ma Shen, Ren Chunzhong is Ren Dejing's nephew and Empress Dowager Ren's cousin, and the importance is self-evident. Yang Zhi also sent a letter to Western Xia, asking for formal recognition that Lingzhou and Xiazhou belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and Yang Zhi made a condition that Wu'er Siqi's 30,000 troops could retreat across the Yellow River; this was a plan that Zhao Kai agreed, but Zhao Kai did not expect Yang Zhi to take Lingzhou before the agreement was negotiated.

Cao Zimu quietly came to Youzhou, he came specifically to ask Yang Zhi about the sincerity of this negotiation, Xixia is also very difficult now, the dispute between the DPRK and China continues, not to mention, the situation outside is not clear for a while, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State have been at war in the clouds, the left marshal of the Jin State Jin Wushu and others are coming to the aid in three ways, one of which is the Jin army is crossing the desert for thousands of miles, and it is close to the border of the northern part of Western Xia.

Brother Li Chage and Raida Gongji were worried about the front door to reject the tiger and the back door to welcome the wolf, but if the Dingbei Army continued to fight wholeheartedly, Western Xia had no other choice; Yang Zhi also received a letter from Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai was worried about the offensive of the Jin State, and clearly told Yang Zhi that the Western Front could temporarily cease fighting, and now that Lingzhou was in the hands of the Dingbei Army, the original thought that the most difficult negotiation obstacle did not exist.

Therefore, Yang Zhi angrily told Cao Zimu that King Yun absolutely did not want to fight, but it was only at the urging of Runzhou that this operation took place, as long as Song Xia negotiated peace, he would return to Qinzhou, and Baojing County in Lingzhou could be used as a field to ensure that Yue Fei and others were not stationed in Lingzhou; Cao Zimu breathed a sigh of relief, for Western Xia, Yang Zhi was the first strong enemy, Yue Fei was the second, Jingzhou, Yinzhou, Suizhou, and Lingzhou were all defeated by Yue Fei, and Yang Zhi's promise was a little sincere.
