It started with crossbows, and the two sides were in a tug-of-war.

Until the crossbow arrows are almost used, they start to use them hand-to-hand.

The Xixia people captured Xi'an Prefecture in one day and executed Song generals outside the city of Xi'an Prefecture.

I thought I could easily kill this Song army, but unexpectedly, after the swords met, one came forward, and the one in front was immediately chopped down to the ground by the Song army.

The Song army charged forward desperately like wild wolves.

The knife stabbed into the neck and tore it out, along with blood vessels and bone residue.

Soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and the snow was dyed red.

At this moment, everyone was so excited that they lost consciousness and could only rush forward.

Xi Fengye had never thought that the combat effectiveness of the Song army on this road would be so fierce, which was far beyond his expectation.

Soon, the Xixia army was killed and fled in panic, with nearly a thousand people killed.

At this time, Dang Songbu who was ambushing near Tiandu Mountain gave the Xixia Army another unexpected surprise: it blocked the Xixia Army's escape route into the city.

An hour later, most of the 4,000 Xixia troops brought out by Xi Fengye were killed or injured.

The result of Li Yanxian's battle is also very clear: he defeated the Western bandits and beheaded three thousand people.

The Song army killed everyone until their robes were stained with blood.

Xi Fengye was killed while escaping.

At noon, Li Yanxian immediately asked people to move all the bodies of the Xixia army outside Xi'an Prefecture City.

At this time, the Xixia people in the city already knew that Xifengye was defeated, and they were all terrified.

What frightened them even more was what lay behind.

Li Yanxian ordered his men to chop off the heads of all Xixia soldiers and pile them at the city gate.

He then cut off Xi Fengye's head individually and hung it on the head of a spear.

This scene frightened the Xixia soldiers in the city so much that their legs became weak.

In the evening, Li Yanxian sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

The Xixia people in the city suddenly became peace lovers. They said that they were forced to go south because they had no choice but how much they loved the Song Dynasty and how much they hoped for world peace!

After expressing their attitude towards the world, the Xixia people surrendered.

Xi'an Prefecture, which fell for less than seven days, is back again.

Of course, Li Liangfu, who was excitedly attacking Lanzhou City, had no idea that Xi'an Prefecture had changed hands so quickly.

In the northwest of the first month, there is no spring trend at all. Instead, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is heavier than in previous years.

At this time, the news that the Xixia army was marching south finally reached the Xizhou Economic and Strategy Commander-in-Chief.

Moreover, it was the news sent by Li Yanxian. Wang Yi, the commander of Xihe Road, heard that the Xixia army captured Xi'an and besieged Lanzhou, and immediately began to organize troops.

Xizhou is only 150 miles away from Lanzhou. If troops need to be sent to assist, it can be reached in five days' march on such a snowy day.

It was already evening after Wang Yi finished discussing with Xu Chongyan, the counselor of the Economic and Strategy Department, and Wang Quan, the commander of Xizhou's military and horse capital, and others.

Xu Chongyan found Wang Yi alone.

"Wang Shuai."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Chongyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Wang Shuai, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"It doesn't matter what you say."

Xu Chongyan said: "Wang Shuai is about to die soon."

Wang Yi was taken aback and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

"Wang Shuai, please listen to what I have to say!"

"Okay, after you finish speaking, if you don't give me an explanation today, you will stop being a counselor. I will fire you immediately!"

"Wang Shuai, Yang Yizhong has arrived at Jingyuan Road and is checking the accounts on Jingyuan Road."

"What do you mean?"

"Xiaguan means that the day when he comes to Xihe Road is not far away."

"I walk and sit upright!"

"Wang Shuai, I have no other intention of lowering my rank. Yang Yizhong is a madman. I heard that Wang Xie, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, had his head chopped off by him!"

"Then let him check on me!"

"Yes, Wang Shuai is honest and strict, but is it possible that Yang Yizhong deliberately framed Wang Shuai?"

"What do you mean?"

"Then Yang Yizhong is obviously in the same group as Zhang Jun."

Xu Chongyan said no more, but Wang Yi hesitated: "What can you do?"

Xu Chongyan knew clearly in his heart, he knew that Wang Yi had taken the money, and it was all nonsense to frame him up or not. He was just giving Wang Yi a step forward.

"Wang Shuai, why don't we surrender to Xixia to ensure peace?"

Wang Yi's face immediately darkened: "Are you going to betray the imperial court?"

"It is a tyrant who has no moral principles and has made the world angry and resentful. We are just protecting ourselves!"

Ever since the imperial court began to rotate, Wang Yiqi had long been wary. He had also had bold ideas in this regard.

"Self-protection? How to protect yourself? Wang Quan has just been transferred here not long ago. Do you think he will listen to you?"

"We don't need him to listen to us. We can reinforce Lanzhou and let Wang Shuai personally command the army. When the time comes, we will secretly send someone to contact Xixia. When everything is ready, we will surrender to Xixia and give up Xihe Road. Only in this way,

You can save your life!"

"What if the imperial army comes to attack?"

"The people of Shaanxi have lost all their hearts, the court is impious, and the Xixia people are going south. Do you think who is instigating it behind the scenes?"

"Golden Man?"

"Now that the Xixia people are moving south, the Jin people may have already strengthened their troops! If this happens, how long can the imperial court resist?"

"I am not the kind of person who is disloyal and unjust! Get out!"

"I'm resigning!"

After Xu Chongyan went out, he already knew that Wang Yi agreed with his proposal.

If he didn't agree, he wouldn't come out alive.

After all, everyone is a pensioner. If the court traces them, they will not be able to escape.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, Wang Yi, the military envoy of Xihe Road, led an army of 20,000 people to go northward. However, he did not give any orders to other towns on Xihe Road to go north to fight against the bandits.

So far, the news of this eight-day battle between Song and Xia has not yet fully spread.

The snow in the first month of the fifth year of Jingkang stretched from the northwest to Hedong, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and stretched all the way to Hebei.

It can be said that thousands of miles north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River are frozen.

Early in the morning on the 27th of the first lunar month, Zhao Ning got the "Essay on Defeating the Song Dynasty" written by Liu Lin. After reading it, he said: "A mere clown dares to speak so shamelessly here, while being high-sounding, he is talking about Hebei."

Excessive taxation and extortion!"

Zhang Shuye said: "Your Majesty, it is better to increase troops in Hebei and wipe out the puppet Qi Liu Yu as soon as possible."

"No, the situation in Hebei is stable. Liu Yu can't afford to cause trouble. It will cost a lot to mobilize the army. Money is everywhere now, so don't do unnecessary things."

Zhao Ding came out and said: "Your Majesty, what I am most worried about right now is the northwest. This time it involves too much. If the Xixia people take the opportunity to go south, it will be detrimental to our court!"

"I can understand your worries, but our real enemy is the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom is currently marching westward and has no time to go south. Once the Jin Kingdom's western expedition is over and the internal reorganization is completed, they will definitely use troops against our country. If the military and political affairs in the northwest are delayed again, we will have to wait until later.

It's too late for Jin Guo to come to his senses!"

Zhao Ning also knew that when Hebei was fighting, the northwest was too involved and could trigger a series of crises.

But he didn't have time, and neither did the Song Dynasty. He had to take advantage of the absence of the Jin Kingdom and use the power of thunder to solve the evil diseases in Shaanxi.

Zhang Shuye said again: "Should we order Wu Jie of Taiyuan Prefecture to march eastward to support Hebei and achieve a quick victory?"

Zhao Ning said confidently: "Xiangong Zhang is overly concerned. The war in Hebei will not last long."

His confidence is justified. The Song Dynasty really has no shortage of famous generals who can fight.

At this time, Yue Fei, who was in Fucheng, had obtained Liu Linjun's latest information.

At this time, a man went to Fucheng to join Yue Fei.
