Chapter 839
Every night, I have to toss and turn for a long time before I can fall asleep, but occasionally I will be awakened by nightmare. In my dream, the heads of three thousand elite Song cavalry were hung on the walls of Xingqing Mansion...
Zhe Keshi's personal soldiers just opened the curtain and walked into the back tent. They were about to come forward to wake Zhe Keshi who was sleeping soundly, but unexpectedly, Zhe Keshi suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
"General, you won't have a nightmare again, are you?" The personal soldier looked helplessly at the pale face and sweating profusely. Zhe Keshi sat in front of the couch and gasped heavily.
"Well, it's his mother's nightmare again. Get some water for me. Will you let this life go?..." Zhe Keshi sighed helplessly, and lifted the quilt aside in annoyance.
After taking the Liang Baikai handed over by his personal soldiers, he drank it all. Only then did he notice that the personal soldiers had no intention of leaving and couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine, you go and rest..."
"General, what about the Xixia military camp on the other side of the Yellow River? It seems that there is movement..." The personal soldiers quickly reported the report.
"What do they want to do in the middle of the night? Let's go and take a look." Zhe Keshi raised his hand and wiped his face hard. Then he walked into the camp with great strides and came to the mail tower on the bank of the river and looked towards the opposite bank.
Zhe Keshi squinted his eyes and looked at the other side of the Yellow River. Although he could only see the faint firelight, he also noticed something strange. That was the enemy camp that should have been very quiet at this time, but it seemed a little noisy at this moment. He even saw that some were heading south and some were heading north, but the firelight that heading north was several times more than those heading south.
"Why, that old guy can't stand it and is ready to cross the river to attack?" Zhe Keshi smashed his mouth and said to himself indifferently.
After getting off the mail, he issued military orders to the generals who rushed over one after another. "Come on, you lead Yidu's troops and go north along the river to see where the Xixia people on the other side of the river want to cross the river. You also take Yidu's troops and go south along the river..."
After the soldiers took the order and left, Zhe Keshi's eyes turned to the northwest again. Alas... I don't know whether it was right or wrong for my adventure this time. I hope they can come back safely.

A whole day later, the teams who went north and south to reconnaise the Xixia marching across the Yellow River sent back the messenger.
"What's going on? The other party has left this place for more than a hundred miles, but he has not stopped. He continues to go north and south. Could it be that they feel that it is not safe enough to leave so far?" After hearing the messenger's report, a general around him said to himself with a confused look on his face.
"Can they have already raised ships further away, and they just need to cross the river east as soon as the army arrives?"
The generals opened their brains and all kinds of speculations were also presented, which made Zhe Keshi, the old driver also felt dizzy. At this time, someone said something, but everyone was shocked.
"Can it be that General Li Mao and the others have already done a big thing, so the Xia army was so angry that they set out overnight to search for traces of their crossing the river, right?"
Zhe Keshi was stunned at first, then slapped his thigh. "How long has their side master been gone?"
"Sir, it's the fourth day tonight..."
"Arriving at the ferry, it will take more than a day to cross the river and then take another day to attack the royal tomb, but in fact it will attack Xingqing Cang, which will take only one or two days to do. It is really possible that what they have done will make the Xixia people move their troops away in such a hurry."
"The soldiers heading north are at least 20,000, and only 5,000 are heading south. In this way, the soldiers heading north are likely to be heading for them. Since they have done a big thing in Xingqingcang, the possibility of going south is very small, so the number of soldiers sent to the south by the Xixia camp is only 5,000..."
After a group of people and others carefully analyzed it, Zhe Keshi's eyes became brighter and brighter. "It is very likely that they have really achieved their previous estimate."
"Sir, what should we do? Those 20,000 troops head north. With their 3,000 troops alone, they are trapped in the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture. Even if they want to run, they will not have much chance."
"No, we can't leave. If we leave too, there will be tens of thousands of people here in Weiming Awu, and it is very likely that he will evacuate accordingly."
"Once the Xixia army is scattered in this originally not-so-large hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture, how can they leave?"
Leaving the support party and insisting on attracting the enemy party on the spot, Zhe Keshi himself was hesitant. After half an hour, Zhe Keshi finally made up his mind.
"The army stayed still. In addition, we had to set up a large-scale construction, build ships, and act like we wanted to cross the river to attack the enemy. In this way, the Xixia people across the river bank could not understand our reality and dare not leave easily."
"In this way, it can be considered to be a chance for General Li, General Luo and General Liang. In addition, you personally lead the people to try to rush to the ferry in the north and tell them that the Xixia people have already searched the enemy on the river bank and asked them to cross the river as quickly as possible. There must be no delay..."
"Don't worry, General, the last general will arrive in the shortest time, and will definitely arrive before the Xixia army arrives at the ferry in the north." A general stood up, took the order with a sigh, and walked away quickly.

The ferry guarded by Liang Shou was like a huge construction site. In addition to the ships collected before, the soldiers who were left behind were sent out to detect the surrounding cavalry, and they were all using wood to build simple ships here so that the Song army led by Li and Luo could cross the river more conveniently after they arrived.
At night, when he heard the rapid and dense sound of hooves coming towards him, Liang Shou ordered the gathering of troops as quickly as possible. However, after seeing the torch shaking left and right in the distance, Liang Shou felt relieved and breathed a breath of air.
This signal shows that the visitor is a friendly army. Since it is a friendly army, it must be the Iron Cavalry of the Song army led by Li and Luo. A quarter of an hour later, Liang Shou saw Li Mao and Luo Ping, who were storming in dust on the perimeter of the ferry. After learning about their achievements and achievements, he was extremely excited.
"Haha, Liang originally thought that it would be good to burn Xingqing Cang, but he didn't expect that General Luo would turn the virtual into the real, and even the Western Xia Royal Tomb made a ruthless move. It was amazing." Liang Shou raised his thumb to Luo Ping with conscience.
