After reading Li Qianshun's credentials, Zhao Ning felt that the development of this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

Li Qianshun's behavior all verified his suspicion: be afraid!

When Li Qianshun saw that there were many problems within the Song Dynasty, he wanted to come and grab meat.

But once he saw Zhao Guan's family stud, Li Qianshun immediately became passionate about peace and did not mention the incident of Huizhou Army's rebellion.

Although the letter of apology is here, don't expect the Xixia people to really stop taking action.

Xixia people are very thieves, not once or twice.

Let’s just say that Li Jiqian rebelled and surrendered several times, performing the trick of “I surrendered, rebelled again, surrendered again, rebelled again” in the northwest.

At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were all surrounded.

They can chop you with a knife and at the same time tell you sincerely: I surrender, but you can chop me a few more times!

Therefore, I cannot believe even a single "sentence reading" of the Xixia people.

So what to do next?

Of course, while accepting Li Qianshun's letter of apology, we will continue to increase our troops.

Is this no problem?

On the first day of May, Zhao Ning not only politely replied to Li Qianshun "About exploring a peaceful future for the benefit of the people of the two countries", but also wrote a letter to Zhang Jun and Liu Qi respectively: Give me more troops if necessary. Then kill the Xixia people!

On the evening of the first day of May, Liu Xi arrived in Yinzhou City.

All the generals and counselors of the Song Army are in the Commander's Mansion.

Liu Xi said to Liu Qi: "Liu Shuai, we have recently detected many Xixia scouts in this area, and we fight with the Xia army once every three days on average, ranging from thirty to fifty to hundreds of people."

Liu Rui said: "Master Xia claimed to have written a letter of apology, but the activities of the Western Bandits are becoming more and more frequent. They are obviously constantly testing us! Liu Shuai, do you want to have a good fight with the Western Bandits?"

Liu Qi said: "No! Now our army has taken advantage of each pass. As long as the enemy doesn't move and I don't move, the Western thieves will be helpless!"

Liu Rui said: "I really want to have a good fight with the Western bandits!"

But Liu Xi said: "Liu Shuai, the Western bandits are making frequent moves. I'm afraid a war is not far away!"

Liu Rui said: "There are three roads leading to Yinzhou. Of these three roads, which one will Xia Jun attack?"

Liu Qi suddenly asked: "Have all the new armaments been transported?"

"Every checkpoint is ready."

"Where is Mizhi Village?"

"The walls of Mizhi Village have also been raised, and more troops have been deployed."

Liu Qi said: "All the armaments for the defense of the city must be prepared. The most likely thing for the Western Bandits is to attack Mizhi Village. Once Mizhi Village is evaded by the Western Bandits, the communication between Yinzhou City and the south will be cut off, and the Western Bandits will attack again." If grain and grass are blocked from traveling north, Yinzhou will become an isolated city!"

"Don't worry, Liu Shuai, two cities have been built around Mizhi Village!"

In the evening of the same day, Fei Tingrongju, commander-in-chief of the Xixia Left Route Army, arrived at Weiming Anhui's camp.

"The general will finally meet the Prime Minister!"

"General Fei Ting doesn't need to be polite!" Weiming Anhui behaved gently.

Fei Tingrongju said: "The Prime Minister and the right army are ready."

"How many people are there in total?"

"Fifty thousand, all elites!"

"How much armor?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Where's the cavalry?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Okay!" Weiming Anhui was overjoyed. Xixia's military strength has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye in the past two years, and the armor coverage rate has actually reached this point.

"Prime Minister, the general is still worried. Your Majesty wrote a letter of apology to the Song Army and wanted to negotiate a peace. We sent troops rashly. If your Majesty knew about it, I'm afraid..."

"You are confused! Your Majesty wrote a letter of apology to the Song Dynasty just to paralyze the Song Army and make the Song Army take it lightly!"

"But without His Majesty's orders, General..."

"General Fei Ting, your family is a nobleman of our Baigao Daxia Kingdom. Your ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to start a business and made great contributions. Now Daxia is in danger. Once the country is destroyed, is it possible for you, Fei Ting, to live alone?

"

"The final general is willing to devote himself to Daxia until his death!"

"General Fei Ting, in the past half month, I have sent scouts to find out clearly that the Song Army is transferring food, troops and manpower from Fuyan Road. If your army can lurk near Mizhi Village and cut off the Song Army's food and grass attack,

If we capture Mizhi Village again, Yinzhou will become an isolated city!"

"But from where Mo General's army is stationed to Mizhi Village, we have to climb mountains and ridges."

Weiming Anhui said: "Song Jun thinks so too. As long as you can bring the army over, you will definitely catch Song Jun by surprise!"

Seeing that Fei Ting Rongju was still hesitating, Weiming Anhui said: "General Fei Ting, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can recapture Yinzhou, I will help you replace Brother Richard!"

Fei Tingrongju was finally moved, and he said: "We are all serving Daxia, and I will not dare to have selfish motives!"

Brother Richard is the military and political boss of Xixia, and he controls the military and political power.

This time the Song-Xia war was excluded, and some people in the Xia army had already been rumoring whether Li Qianshun was going to take over Brother Richard's military power.

Naturally, many people feel sympathy.

"I know General Fei Ting understands justice, please!"

Fei Tingrongju clasped his fists and said, "The general will never let the Prime Minister down!"

On May 3rd, the Xixia army on the right suddenly moved.

The main general Fei Tingrongju crossed the mountains and ridges all the way from Niuxinting, leading an army of 50,000 people and interspersed between the Hengshan Mountains.

As a key figure in the Sixth Song-Xia War, Fei Tingrongju promoted the early arrival of the new pattern of Song-Xia to a certain extent.

On the fifth day of May, Liu Qi received an urgent message from Zhao Guan's house eight hundred miles away: if necessary, beat the Xixia people to death!

On the tenth day of May, the sky was overcast.

The mountains lurk in the distance, like giant beasts crawling between heaven and earth, and birds fly over between the "giant beasts".

The densely packed Xixia army passed through it like a swarm of ants, rushing towards the Wuding River ahead.

This road is really difficult to walk, and in many places only three people can walk abreast.

The Western Xia war horses are famous throughout history for their strength. They can cross mountains and ridges, but if it were the Central Plains war horses, they would not be able to cross these places.

"General, twenty miles ahead we leave the mountainous area and enter the plains on the banks of the Wuding River. We found out that there are many Song people there, all of whom are part of the grain transport team. There is a newly built walled city more than ten miles northwest of Mizhi Village.

!”

Fei Tingrongju said: "Fei Tingyu ordered!"

Fei Tingrongju's eldest son Fei Tingyu ordered to go out: "The general will be here at the end!"

"I will give you three thousand cavalry, you go and kill those Song people to your heart's content and attract the Song army from the walled city!"

"The last general takes command!"

Fei listened to Yu's order and took three thousand light cavalry, then quickly left.

At noon, there were many ships on the Wuding River, carrying food and weapons.

On the banks of the Wuding River, there are also large and small camel teams, with large and small vehicles transporting goods.

Those were soldiers and civilians dispatched from Fuyan Road. These people put down their hoes in the fields, said goodbye to their families, and were mobilized to the border areas.

The summer cicadas in the mountains and forests ahead are chirping tirelessly. The weather is getting dull and a heavy rain is about to begin.

Everyone is hurrying on their way.

Someone complained: "The weather is really hot this year!"

"Yes! I really hope that the imperial court will end the war as soon as possible so that we can go home."

Several young people nodded feebly.

"We have just given birth to a baby, and we don't have any extravagant expectations. We just hope that the court can send us the money for this battle in time."
