Lu Zhi said: "The Xixia people don't know about this. They are still increasing their troops and the situation will not be resolved!"

Lu Zhi is right. The key now is that the Xixia people have determined that the resources of the Song Dynasty lie heavily in Goryeo, so they dare to jump out at such a critical moment.

The war situation in Goryeo is considered stable now, but the Xixia people don’t know!

"Then let's go and tell the Xixia people," Liu Ziyu said.

"Go and tell the Xixia people that our dynasty has completely defeated Goryeo?" Fan Zhixu shook his head, "If you were a Xixia person, would you believe it?"

"I really don't believe it. I just think it's a clumsy trick by the Song people." Liu Ziyu smiled awkwardly.

"So, I'm afraid the Battle of Yinzhou will be difficult to avoid."

The situation at this time naturally becomes very delicate.

No one knows what will happen next.

Even Zhao Ning, a time traveler, doesn’t know.

It can only be said that the conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom to instigate Goryeo was really high!

It triggered a series of chain reactions.

Especially let Xixia take action.

As a regional power in the northwest, Xixia's actions will have a great impact on the pattern of the entire eastern continent.

Lu Zhi suddenly said: "If the war between Song and Xia really breaks out, the country of Jin will still benefit."

"No, the situation has changed." Zhang Jun said, "Now that the imperial court has won the Battle of Goryeo, the situation in Liaodong and Goryeo has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Jin Kingdom will be forced to invest more heavy troops on the eastern front."

What Zhang Jun said is already very simple.

The two great powers of Song and Jin have entered an era of strategic confrontation from tactical confrontation.

The so-called tactical showdown is to see whose army can fight better.

For example, in the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army swept through Hebei and Hedong. They achieved great tactical victories many times and plundered Hebei and Hedong.

The first battle of Tokyo City also forced the Song Dynasty to pay huge sums of money.

However, with the development of the situation, the internal conflicts of the Jin Kingdom became more prominent, and the opening of military towns in Liaodong, the confrontation between the Song and Jin Dynasties was no longer a matter of victory or defeat for one city and one pool.

Instead, both sides deployed elite troops and generals on the border to dominate the battlefield of deep defense and attack.

This is no longer just a tactical confrontation, but a series of confrontations involving the country's comprehensive strength, including treasury taxation, population management, bureaucracy, military system, etc.

The reason why the situation became like this was naturally driven by Zhao Ning.

He stretched the Song and Jin fronts from Hebei and Hedong to Liaodong and Goryeo.

The length of the entire front line increased unprecedentedly, which directly dispersed the Jin Kingdom's troop deployment, and naturally weakened the Jin Army's ability to break through the Song Dynasty at a single point from a tactical level.

The most powerful thing about the Jin Kingdom is its ability at the tactical level.

Zhang Jun added: "Xixia has been secretly preparing for war in the past two years. In order to ensure that this time, we must not take it lightly and maintain close communication with Liu Qi. Yanyan Road, Jingyuan Road, and Huanqing Road must all enter the war.

In the current situation, we must be prepared to increase the number of troops in Yinzhou at any time, and we must also be prepared to defend against the Xixia people's surprise attack from Huanqing Road."

In early November, the first snow fell in Yinzhou.

The fire in the room was burning brightly. Liu Qi took the letter sent from Chang'an and read it carefully, showing a genuine smile.

Not long after, Liu Rui, the commander of the Tianwu Army, hurriedly walked in: "Shuai Liu, what's the matter?"

"How many of your cavalry can be put into the battlefield?"

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "Three thousand cavalry are no problem."

"If I send you out to fight a surprise attack now, are you sure?"

"Are you going to take action?" Liu Rui said in surprise.

As Liu Qi's younger brother, Liu Rui is very aware of his brother's calm style.

Liu Qi's greatest characteristic is his honesty. He is a truly honest and kind person.

He never disobeys orders from his superiors easily.

Why are you suddenly taking action?

"Are you sure?"

Liu Rui asked: "Which team will attack Xixia?"

"I don't know which one the commander is." Liu Qi shook his head, "Don't you need to find the target and then kill the target?"

"Why do you do this?" Liu Rui couldn't help but continue to ask, "Isn't this an unprepared battle?"

"Who says they are unprepared? The Xixia people have been staying in Weirong Village for almost a month. The scouts have clearly explored the Xixia army's garrison point."

"Why did you have to fight suddenly?"

"It's an order from the government."

"Got it!" Liu Rui immediately became energetic.

"The Xixia people probably don't know that we have a cavalry. I have sent an order to Liu Xi to take action immediately to attack the Xixia military camp north of Weirong Village to build momentum, but he will not throw them all in. You just

They are the main force! The Xixia people’s coaching camp is in the west of the city.”

Liu Qi pointed at the map and said: "You start from Yinzhou and go south. Take this small mountain road. It is not suitable to be discovered. It is best to make a circuitous route here."

"This road is very difficult!" Liu Rui took a deep breath, "The cavalry all wear iron armor, and it's snowing, so it's not easy to walk."

"The Xixia people also knew that it was difficult to walk. They must have set up defenses on other roads, but ignored this winding and farther road, or there were not many defenders."

"If you want to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, you must take them by surprise!" Liu Qi's tone was very calm, "Aren't the Xixia people testing us? I will give the Xixia people a surprise."

"The last general takes command!"

Liu Rui left the commander's house excitedly, took the general's seal and went to lead the troops.

This cavalry battalion, which was formed last year, received their first mission at this moment: to raid the Xixia commander's camp.

This is a medium-sized armored cavalry modeled after the Jin Guaizima. They have strong impact and maintain high mobility.

But in fact, they were modeled after Yue Fei's Shenwu Army Cavalry Corps.

Liu Rui also made a special trip to the Tokyo Martial Arts Lecture Hall, and in Yinzhou, there were also some cavalry officers transferred from Yue Fei's Department to guide the training of the Yinzhou Tianwu Army cavalry.

On the fifth day of November, it snowed moderately. The rolling Hengshan Mountains were covered with a layer of white snow, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

Sixty miles northwest of Yinzhou City, near Weirong Village, the Xixia people's camps stretch up and down.

The Song Army's military camp is more than ten miles away.

On this day, Ye Cirong arrived at Liu Xi's military camp again.

Ye Cirong said: "General, the two armies have been facing each other for more than half a month, and our army is as powerful as a rainbow!"

"Then why don't you take action?" Wang Fu on the side said with a smile, "Go and attack Weirong Village, go ahead."

"You can fight at any time if you want!" Ye Cirong said, "But after all, our country is an ally with you, the Song Dynasty. My Majesty is not willing to hurt the peace between the two countries. And it is true that you captured our people, and now the two armies are facing each other.

Really, if there really is a fight, both sides will be injured, and in the end it will be the Jin who takes advantage."

"As long as you know."

Ye Cirong added: "I do have a plan that can avoid war between the two countries and turn hostility into friendship."

"It doesn't matter if you say so."
