Marine law during wartime, and impose heavy rules.
Wang Lin used thunder to kill Qu Duan, who was disobedient and showed his head to the public. The news quickly shocked the troops in Gansu and Shaanxi.
Gansu and Long were shaken.
The prefect of Yan'an Prefecture was temporarily reigned by the Yan'an Prefecture Tongzong.
Quduan's military power was taken over by Liu Yanqing in terms of face, but in fact, Wang Lin promoted Quduan's deputy general Wu Jie, and Wu Lin was the chief military commander of Qin Fenglu, and controlled Qin Feng's military and horses respectively.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin were ordered to mobilize Qin Fenglu's troops to head north, and the incident soon spread to the Xixia people.
Lingwu Palace.
Li Renxiao repeatedly advised: "Brother of the Crown Prince, the State of Song has mobilized at least 100,000 troops on our border. In addition, there are Wang Lin's 50,000 Qingzhou cavalry, which are 50,000 iron cavalry... I would like to ask the Crown Prince.
Brother, take back Cheng’s life, don’t anger the Song Kingdom, and easily start the war between the two countries!”
Li Renai looked at Li Renxiao coldly. Li Renxiao suddenly came to Lingwu. He was very dissatisfied, and of course he was more vigilant.
Li Renai said slowly: "I am fighting with Song 100 years ago. What is the situation and combat effectiveness of the Song army? I know it alone.
Second brother, don’t talk too much. Of course, I will not start the war easily, but the premise is that the Song people don’t anger my Daxia, hum.”
"Jing Tongzhi, do you think that our Daxia army and the Song army can fight at this time?"
Jing Jing immediately left the choir and said, "Your Highness, the last general thinks that the Song army is bluffing, and our army is all out, and the Song people will be defeated!"
Li Renxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Jing Tongzhi, why do you underestimate the Song people so much?"
Jing Jing curled his lips and replied, "The second prince is not the last general underestimating the Song people, but it is the current heavy army of the Great Jin Dynasty. The Song people are in panic. Now is the best time for my Daxia to conquer Hexi.
Don’t miss it when you don’t come again!”
Before Jing Jing finished speaking, An Chu, the commander of the Xishoubaotai Army of Xixia, also said sternly: "Second Prince, my Daxia soldiers and horses are waiting for the dawn. At this moment, the arrow is on the string, how can I not fire it?"
Li Renxiao was speechless.
Li Renai controlled most of the troops in the Western Xia, and the main war factions in the army, such as Jing Jing'an, were all his confidants. He had been planning the attack on Song for a long time, so how could he stop just because of his words?
Cao Kun sighed: "Your Highness, the King of Qi of Song, Wang Lin, must not be underestimated. His iron cavalry had won both battles with the Jin people, let alone our army?"
Li Renai's eyes tightened.
Jing Jing and An looked at each other, and were silent.
In fact, they were also a little afraid of Wang Lin's troops, but they could not express timidity in their mouths, which would disrupt the morale of the army.
Cao Kun said again: "Crown Prince, Song State replied that we asked our Daxia to appoint important officials and lead a delegation to Jingyuan to welcome the Song State's marriage princess."
Li Renai waved his hand decisively: "Gou personally led the delegation. Jing Tongzhi and Ankun commander, you can mobilize the army to the direction of Jingyuan to support our Daxia delegation!"
"As my crown prince, I am the crown prince of the Great Xia, it is really not appropriate to go deep into the enemy country. Why not let me take over the crown prince brother?" Li Ren Xiaodao.
Li Renai glanced at Li Renxiao: "No need! I have my own opinions!"
Li Renxiao and Cao Kun looked at each other and said nothing more.
It's useless to know that it's said.
Li Renai's intention to kill Wang Lin to avenge his relatives in the Liao Kingdom was already crazy.
Li Renxiao found it ridiculous. The one who destroyed the Liao Kingdom was obviously a Jin man, but his brother and his mother Yelu Nanxian actually hated Wang Lin, a Song Dynasty man!
Do you still say that you have to pick up soft persimmons to squeeze out when you take revenge?
Besides, Wang Lin is not necessarily a soft persimmon.
But it's good, let him make a fuss.
...
June 13th.
The red sun hangs high on the Gobi Desert, north of Jingyuan, the Western Xia army Ma Yun gathered flags to cover the sun, stretching for more than a hundred miles; and to the south, more than 100,000 troops of the Song Dynasty, especially Wang Lin's tens of thousands of cavalry, were on the front line.
A war between the two countries is about to break out.
A yellow dragon swept across, and more than a thousand Western Xia cavalry protected the Xixia Crown Prince Li Renai, who was pretending to be the name of Li Chengxin, the deputy prime minister of Xixia, and his delegation arrived directly under the city of Jingyuan.
Ten thousand cavalry lined up behind, and Emperor Chongde's ceremonial guards and horse-drawn carriage teams were waiting for a long time.
Li Renai rode his horse in front of the formation, and his eyes fell on Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's python robe and golden crown stands in front of the formation.
Li Renai suppressed the fire of hatred in his eyes and immediately bowed: "In the Deputy Prime Minister of Daxia, is there a marriage envoy of Song State, and the King of Qi in front of him?"
Wang Lin said calmly: "It's this king."
Li Renai shouted: "I am hereby the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daxia to welcome the Princess of Song and ask the relatives of Song to guard the Princess of Song to go to Lingwu and watch the ceremony."
Wang Lin smiled: "I am guarding the princess to marry here, so I will naturally come to witness the marriage ceremony of the Prince of Xixia and my Princess of the Song Dynasty. Your request, I will be approved!"
"Send the order to hold a banquet in Jingyuan City to entertain the Xixia delegation."
...
Jingyuan County Government.
Yue Fei led the generals to advise repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you must not take risks in person. The hearts of tigers and wolves in the Western Xia people are obvious. If the prince and the princess enter the Xia realm, they will definitely encounter an unexpected situation!"
Even Liu Yanqing and his son stood up and opposed it.
Hu Sanniang and Liang Hongyu were even more anxious and surrounded Wang Lin and repeatedly persuaded him to take back Cheng's life.
Wang Lin rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache.
The so-called conspiracy and intrigues of the Xixia people were almost on the table, how could Wang Lin not see through it?
But he had other arrangements. If he did not go to Xixia, how could he completely attract the Xixia troops to the Jingyuan line, and how could Yan Qing's ten thousand tiger guards go around Xiliang without knowing it?
Go straight to the royal city of Xixia?
Wang Lin was still worried that the battle between Song Xia would start and the Jin people would take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, Xixia can only fight quickly and do extraordinary things with extraordinary means.
He and Yan Qing fully discussed the plan to attack the Xixia royal city.
There are certainly risks, but there is also a high probability of success.
At present, most of the soldiers and horses in Xixia are arranged on the border against Song, and there are naturally stationed troops on the border with other countries. In this way, there are not many soldiers and horses guarding the royal city of Xixia.
Yan Qing led the extremely mobile Tiger God Guard to raid the Xixia Royal City. If he could capture it, he would take advantage of the situation. If things were not done, he would flick a shot, bypass the Xixia Royal City, and continue to attack Lingwu.
At the same time, the tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry of the Fuhu and Qin Feng from the Linfu on the border would break into the Xia territory with lightning speed, joining the inside and outside, and fighting with the Xixia people.
One battle determines the outcome!
A battle to defeat the ambitions of the Xixia people!
Wang Lin’s goal was to recover Lingwu, the hometown of the Song Dynasty.
Extend the border of the Song Dynasty forward to Lingwu.
If the war goes well, when the Jin people get news, Wang Lin has ended the war with Xixia and leads his army to prepare for the war.
Therefore, an important point of this decisive battle in the Western Expedition with the purpose of shocking the Western Xia was that he took risks and used himself as bait to cover the hundreds of miles of raids of Yan Qing.
There is never a pie falling from the sky.
Wang Lin knew very well that if he had a tug-of-war against the Xixia people in accordance with the rules and regulations, he would delay the war for a long time, and the only remaining national destiny in the Song Dynasty would probably be completely dragged down.
Completely trapped in the quagmire of war.
After all, the troops of the Song Dynasty did not pose an overwhelming advantage over the Western Xia.
Houya.
Wang Lin slowly walked into the yard and saw Liang Hongyu and Hu Sanniang comforting Chongde. Chongde was dressed in a phoenix crown and a robe. She sat there quietly, her face pale.
She really didn't expect that she would eventually marry into Xixia.
This is all her life.
Wang Lin looked at Chongde deeply, remained silent for a while, but still swallowed what he wanted to say.
For the sake of the overall situation, he had to cruelly let Chongde enter the summer.
Because only when she and her princess entered the Xia Dynasty, would Xixia believe that the Song Dynasty was surrendering and showed a weak posture of surrendering to Xixia.
The dangers facing the marriage delegation faces when entering the summer can be imagined.
If things go wrong, the first thing that falls in Xixia is the marriage delegation.
Wang Lin strode away, and Chongde's sob came from behind him.
Liang Hongyu advised: "The Prince Chongde, the prince has his own arrangements. If you believe in him, you will definitely not send you into the tiger's mouth and abandon it."
Hu Sanniang also said, "My husband said that even if he fights one soldier, he will never let me marry a woman from the Song Dynasty!"
Chongde sobbed endlessly.
After a long time, he said quietly: "It's okay to go to this palace. This is my life. But my sisters, please don't let the King of Qi take risks in person. If the King of Qi is about to have an accident, my Song Dynasty will be in danger!"
Hu Sanniang sighed: "Hongyu and the generals repeatedly persuaded me, but he didn't listen. However, I believe that my husband must have a complete solution."
She could only think so.
Although Wang Lin loved his women in every way, he was decisive and arbitrary. He made up his mind that no one could influence or change his decisions.
She and Liang Hongyu are not good either.
But no matter what dangerous place they are in or how bloody the wind is, they will be by his side.
What are you afraid of? You can only fight to the death.
Hu Sanniang and Liang Hongyu exchanged a knowing look, and both saw determination in each other's eyes.
...
The temperature drops sharply in the summer nights.
I was sweating profusely during the day, but I actually had to wear long clothes at night.
The temperature difference between day and night is extremely large.
Wang Lin stood quietly on the city gate tower, looking at the camp of the Xixia delegation not far away, and his face gradually became cold.
A tiger god guard came in a hurry and hid in Wang Lin's ear and whispered a few words.
Wang Lin's face was surprised.
Crown Prince Li Renai of Xixia? And Empress Yelu Nanxian of Xixia?
Very brave!
Wang Lin originally thought that he was in danger alone, and as bait, he was already very brave, but he didn't expect that Yelu Nanxian and his son were even more courageous than him.
He actually led a delegation to Jingyuan by pseudonym.
Wang Lin pondered silently.
Kill the Xixia mission and capture Yelu Nanxian and his son alive?
Wang Lin thought about it for a long time and finally gave up this idea.
He did not think that taking Yelu Nanxian and his son as hostage would block the invasion of Xixia soldiers.
Not only can this not be done, it will anger the Xixia people and cause larger-scale wars.
The night is deeper and the wind blows in Jingyuan.
Wang Lin's deep eyes were cast towards the starry night sky, and into the depths of the Gobi desert, which was faintly covered with bonfires. There were oasis and the hinterland of the Xixia people.
