Chapter 620 Liang Yibao, Former Prime Minister of Xixia Kingdom
Chapter 620
"Now, the four prefectures in Yinxia have almost cut off the road to Xingqing Prefecture from the south of the sand sea. Their biggest wish now is to protect themselves, and they will definitely not dare to send troops easily..." Liang Yibu stated leisurely.
"After coming from Yanzhou, the reinforcements did not escort the nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers to Yanzhou. Isn't it said that something might have happened in Yanzhou?"
Huwu's eyes lit up immediately. "It is very likely that the Song army has sent troops to Yanzhou, so the soldiers in Yanzhou naturally dare not escort these wounded soldiers to Yanzhou rashly. If that happens, it would be like letting these nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers die..."
Liang Yipin and Huwu did not expect that the Song Dynasty had only spent half a day in the night to capture Yanzhou, but it was only determined that the Song army had sent troops to Yanzhou.
Before Liang Yibi came down to the city wall, he reminded the guard general. "No matter what, keep an eye on them for me. If there is any abnormal movement, report it to me immediately. When the army returns to Song, the army is uneasy, you should not talk about the war easily, but you should not let him Sa Chen come from freedom."
He hurriedly walked down the city tower along the stairs, but a slippery beam under his feet was so shocked that Huwu beside him quickly supported him. "Supreme, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just slept less these days and was not energetic. It's okay. Oh... I don't know where the Song army has been. If I come later for a few days..." Liang Yibi said worriedly.
"Don't worry about the Prime Minister. Song Ting has been peeking at the Jianing Military Office for a long time. Now, since it has been judged that Song Ting has sent troops to Yanzhou, it is time for Hongzhou to come soon. Prime Minister, the most important thing is to have a good rest. After Song Ting's people arrive, there are still many major things that require you to make decisions." Huo Wen quickly comforted him.
Liang Yiqiu nodded, slowly stood up and continued to walk down the steps, continuing to say. "Now I am determined to return to Song, and then Li Qianshun's kid now has not much chips in his hand."
"Yes, if he hadn't done anything he wanted, how could he have today? He was the one who had to blame Liang before. Such a consequence would naturally be borne by him." Huwu couldn't help but smiled coldly.
"Oh... I was originally in love with him who was my nephew and stationed in the Jianing Military Office for him. However, he cooked beans and burned bean pods, and it was too urgent to kill each other. I ruined my Liang family lineage. I want him to remove Weiming from this world." When he said the last sentence, Liang Yibi's tone was full of cold murderous intent.
Huwen looked at the graceful face in front of him with red eyes, and he naturally knew the reason why grace was like this.
Since he had already betrayed Xixia, the Liang clan members who Li Qianshun used as the trump card to threaten Liang Yifu naturally became useless things.
With the impulsive nature of the young king, I was afraid that when Liang Yifu surrendered to the Song Dynasty, it was the day when the entire Western Xia Liang clan was bleeding.
The Liang family who survived was probably no one else except Liang Yibu, his eldest son Liang Shou, his third son Liang Rui, and his nephew Liang Zuo.
There were hundreds of people in the clan, and only four survived in a blink of an eye. And what’s important is that it was Liang Yi-bing, who made the decision to make those clan members lose their lives. I believe that he must have had a very difficult heart.
Of course, he would also move his hatred and despair to Li Ganshun. If it weren't for the bastard Li Ganshun, who ignored family affection and wanted to be no longer influenced by his relatives for his position as the king, he would turn against his mother's family and resolutely attack him. How could Liang Yibi turn against Xia and join Song?
As the saying goes, there is a result, and the cycle of cause and effect is unhappy.

At this time, Daying several miles away from Hongzhou City, now a few simple stretchers and trailers were slowly and quietly heading towards the northeast, reaching the banks of Wuding River and then advancing along the Hebei.
In addition, ten thousand elite garrison troops were already ahead and were heading towards the Wuyan Ancient City with murderous aura. Most of the more than 1,000 defenders in the Wuyan Ancient City were dreaming at this moment.
The vanguard troops sent by Sa Chen were left with dark night. First, they sent dead soldiers to climb the city quietly. Some sneaked into the city to set fire and caused riots, while others attacked the city gates in and out.
The more than a thousand defenders were caught off guard. When they realized that they had fallen into the hands of the garrison, they had to flee in all directions. The garrison took less than an hour to seize the ancient city with its back against Wuding River.
When Liang Yibi received bad news from the remaining soldiers from the Wuyan Ancient City, he was powerless. At this moment, the sky had already brightened.
The 30,000 troops commanded by Sa Chen had slowly and orderly evacuated to ten miles north of Hongzhou City. Liang Yibi had to send more scouts to grasp the movements of the army. At the same time, he sent people south to the Great Wall Ridge to find out whether the Song army had arrived.
After breakfast after resting for a night, Zhong Shidao used his breakfast and was refreshed and just ordered the camp to continue northward, he received news from Hongzhou that the ancient city of Wuyan was seized, and the tens of thousands of Xixia troops who originally intended to attack Hongzhou had retreated towards the ancient city of Wuyan.
Although Zhong Shidao felt a little regretful, there was not much fluctuation. Compared with the tens of thousands of Xixia troops, what he cared more about was Yuzhou, Hongzhou and the entire Jianing Military Office.
As long as the Jianing Military Office is taken down and all the city camps here are controlled, at that time, not to mention the 50,000 Xia army, even if it is twice as many, Zhong Shidao would not worry.
After all, the border army of the Song Dynasty was best at using the forts and city blocks to deal with these Xixia barbarians who were good at fighting in the field but not good at siege. What's more, the Xixia barbarians have lost 60,000 elite troops in the Battle of Hongdezhai, and were taken away by Liang Yibi, who betrayed the Western Xia, and were also injured by 30,000 to death. It is hard to say how many remaining soldiers can be fought.
Unless Li Ganshun, who was like a desperate gambler, ignored the danger of the entire country and came to the army. However, even so, the Great Song Hu Ben, who had a solid city support, just rely on the strong city to defend and wait for assistance.
Maybe there is still a chance to capture Li Ganshun, the king of Xixia, as well.
The Song army was only about twenty miles away from Hongzhou City. After walking for an hour, they could already see the Hongzhou City standing on the banks of Wuding River.
However, above the head of Hongzhou City, except for the Liang flag, there was no one of the royal flags belonging to the Western Xia. In addition, Hongzhou City seemed to have discovered the arrival of the Song army. Soon, the south gate of Hongzhou City opened, and a soldier of nearly a thousand people rushed out from inside, heading straight towards the Song army.
"General Zhong, the leader is my uncle, Xixia, well, the former prime minister of Xixia, Liang Yibi, the goatee on the left side behind, was my uncle's most capable adviser, Tubo people-hunting squid, and the tall and burly man was my uncle's confidant general..." Liang Zuo, who was following Zhong Shidao, quickly introduced.
