The Song army spent more than half a year constructing a military defense transportation line covering hundreds of miles from Fuzhou to Anbei Prefecture.

A total of 100,000 people were mobilized and five cities were built.

The walled city is mainly used for garrisoning troops, logistics and defense.

At the same time, eight thousand cavalry were deployed in these five cities.

The role of the cavalry is to intercept the Jin Army's high-mobility attacks on logistics.

Since receiving the order from Yu Yunwen to be on the defensive, the Song Army has been on full alert.

In the next few days, as Yu Yunwen expected, the Jin Army cavalry north of the Yellow River could no longer hold their temper. They crossed the Yellow River south and began to pour into the Song Army's defense line.

They formed groups of three and five, stretched out the attack front for hundreds of miles, and launched a short and fast attack on the Song Army's grain transport team.

As of April 29, four groups of Song soldiers and civilians transporting food had been harassed by Jin cavalry.

By April 30th, the Song Army's logistics and grain transport troops suddenly disappeared on all roads.

The Jin Army's cavalry wandered around until the beginning of May, but could no longer find any Song Army's logistics, and all were lost.

The fifth day of May, Yunnei Prefecture.

"Report!" the scout sent back the latest situation on the front line.

Wang Bolong, the left governor, took it and read it quickly. He slapped the information on the desk and said angrily: "Are you going to tell me that the Song Army has stopped dispatching any supplies?"

"At present, this is the case."

"The Song army wants to attack the strong wall and clear the country?" Zhang Chu asked, Mou Ke.

Everyone around him was silent.

"The Song Army won last year, but this year they are still thinking about strengthening the wall and clearing the country. The Song Army is really in command..." Liu Shan, Wang Bolong's aide, shook his head and said with emotion, "I don't know if this commander is timid or overly cautious in fighting."

"Where are the Xixia people? What are their movements?" Wang Bolong asked again.

"The Xixia people sent troops on April 26th, and it is now the fifth day of May. It is 600 miles from Heishan to Dongsheng Prefecture, and they should have entered the Song Army's defense zone."

"Why didn't any scouts come to report this matter?" Wang Bolong said.

No report means no arrival.

Wang Bolong is still very cautious in doing things.

"Zuo Dujian, the Song people have fortified the wall and cleared the country. We should withdraw the cavalry to prevent the Song people from gathering strength and concentrating their forces to defeat us one by one." Liu Shan said.

"That's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scout rushed over and shouted from outside: "Report! The latest military report!"

"Come in!"

Wang Bolong immediately opened the information and looked at it, then put it away excitedly and said: "The Xixia people have arrived!"

"Can we send troops now?" Zhang Chu said.

"Don't worry, let the Xixia people test the situation of the Song army first." Liu Shan said again, "Zuo Dujian, since the Xixia people are coming, there is no rush to withdraw the cavalry. The Xixia people will provide support and let them besiege.

Anbei City, see how many troops the Song Army has deployed in Anbei City, and use this to evaluate the deployment of Dongsheng City and other walled cities."

"Well, you're right." Wang Bolong walked back and forth. Liu Shan's move made the Xixia people ask for directions. It was obviously very clever.

"Liu Shan."

"The official is here."

"Go to the Xixia military camp and tell the Xixia commander that my army has crossed the Yellow River and is about to start a war with the Song army. Let them besiege Anbei City first. We will defeat the Song army in Anbei City within a month.

Destroy all the fortresses in the south."

"yes!"

The sixth day of May, Anbeicheng.

The scout rushed into the prefect's Yamen.

"Prefect Yu, the latest information is that we have found traces of the Xixia people." The scout sent the general's information to him.

Yu Yunwen opened it and read it carefully, and said: "The Xixia people are indeed here, with tens of thousands of troops coming in one breath."

"Prefect Yu, give me thousands of cavalry, and I will attack the Xixia people." Guo Hao said.

"Is your arm injury healed?"

"It's been done long ago!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Yu Yunwen pondered, "The Xixia people dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in one go. Where did they get so many people?"

"In the past hundred years, when Xixia fought against our dynasty, they usually mobilized all the troops from the whole country." Lu Xi said, "It is normal for them to come in the tens of thousands."

"It's not normal. The Black Mountain Weifu Army does not have that many troops. It is impossible for the Xixia people to come out in force unless they recruit troops from the south." Yu Yunwen said, "It seems that the Xia Lord is a little optimistic about the situation in the south.

, everyone in the court is obsessed with discussing the reopening of the court?"

"The Xixia army is very close to us, and there are Jin cavalry in the south that are constantly harassing us. Jin Xia obviously wants to join forces to attack us. It is better to send elites to kill the Xixia people before the main force of the Jin army comes." Lu Xi said.

"I think so too!" Guo Hao said, "If the Xixia and Jin armies merge, we will be under great pressure."

"Liu Yi!"

"The official is here!"

"You first go to the Xixia military camp and question the Xixia commander. Now that Song and Xia are allies, why does Xixia want to raise an unknown army?" Yu Yunwen said, "Your purpose is not to question, but to find out the Xixia people through questioning.

Attitude."

"yes!"

Liu Yi prepared himself before setting off.

"Prefect Yu, are you in such trouble? They are just Western thieves, I can just crush them to death!" Guo Hao said.

"The Xixia people have wanted to join forces with the Jin people to attack us many times, but each time the Xixia people broke the contract many times. There is no basis for trust between Xixia and the Jin country. Both of them know this." Yu Yunwen said.

"Then now the Xixia people are taking the opportunity to attack us?"

Yu Yunwen added: "I would like to guess that the main reason why the Xixia people sent troops was to deceive the Jin people into sending troops. The Xixia people wanted the Jin people to attack us, but they did not move. The Jin people wanted to use the Xixia people to consume us first, and then just take advantage of them."

.”

"real or fake?"

"This is how it is in an alliance without a foundation of trust." Yu Yunwen said, "Whether it is true or not, Liu Yi will know when he comes back."

"If what Yu Yunwen inferred is true, what should we do next?" Lu Xi unconsciously began to ask Yu Yunwen.

"The Jin people expect the Xixia people to take action first, so they will inevitably deceive the Xixia people into saying that they have gone south, but they are actually still in Yunnei Prefecture. The Jin Army's cavalry has been constantly harassing our logistics lines these days. We have established strong walls and cleared the country. According to normal tactics, the Jin Army will not

If it continues, if the Jin army does not retreat, it means that the Jin army places its hope on the Xixia people, hoping to contain our main force."

"If the Xixia people's attitude is to wait for the Jin to make the first move, then we can take advantage of the fact that no one on either side wants to make the first move and concentrate our forces to attack a wave of Jin's scattered cavalry first!"

When the two of them heard Yu Yunwen's analysis of the battle situation, they almost knelt down.
