At this time, this important military place was still as calm as usual. Logically speaking, whether it was attacking the Song Dynasty or attacking Xixia, Datong Prefecture would become crucial, because Datong Prefecture was adjacent to Xixia to the west and Song Dynasty to the south. It was a very important place. An important pass, but no matter how lively the Xixia war was, the Jin army in Datong Prefecture remained stationary, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with them.
"We really underestimated this party member!"
When Wanyan Zonghan learned that the connection between the armies of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Xiyin was blocked, he could not help but frown.
The first counselor beside him, Gao Qingyi, said: "Dangxiang people have been good at fighting since ancient times, far better than the army of the Southern Dynasties, and Li Qianshun is not an ordinary person. He dared to personally lead the army under such unfavorable circumstances. This shows that, in my opinion, the situation is slowly turning in favor of party members."
Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said: "Our army has been on an expedition here. If we cannot capture Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible, we will be forced to retreat. However, the Gaochang Uighurs and Eastern Kara Khan can no longer afford the food rations for tens of thousands of people, and we If we want to transport food and grass, the supplies will take too long. At that time, Zongwang and the others will have to retreat and return home. In this case, our entire plan will be shattered, because the Southern Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. Although we have had a smooth journey, but Loss is inevitable, but if the Southern Dynasties are at peace, once their power is equal to ours, we will no longer have the opportunity to invade Xixia."
All the soldiers were silent.
At this moment, a major general came in and saluted: "I would like to inform the capital, the Hengshan Qiang tribe in the northwest of Hengshan in Xixia is quietly evacuating to Xingqing Mansion."
Wanyan Zonghan was startled when he heard this and said, "Is there any way to find out?"
The major general said: "It has been confirmed."
Gao Qingyi asked again: "How many troops does the other side have left?"
"According to reports from spies, Xixia withdrew at least more than 20,000 elite soldiers from Hengshan this time, leaving at most less than 10,000 soldiers stationed north of Hengshan."
After hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan and the other soldiers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
The Hengshan Qiang tribe is Xixia's elite ace. Because Xixia's enemy has always been the Song Dynasty, this ace army was placed at the junction with the Song Dynasty.
When Wanyan Zongwang first attacked Xixia, Xixia intended to move the troops close to the Song Dynasty to the border of Yunzhou for defense. Obviously, it was to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from raiding. This was necessary because Wanyan Zonghan was very likely to send troops. However, , at this time the war has entered a fever pitch, and Xixia suddenly withdrew most of its elite troops. This is so puzzling.
Wanyan Zonghan's generals would not believe it. Xixia withdrew its troops this time because it did not take Wanyan Zonghan seriously.
Gao Qingyi said thoughtfully: "It seems that the Xixia war is tight on the front line, so they can only mobilize the Hengshan Qiang tribe to go to the rescue."
General Ta Lan suddenly said: "Du Tong, this is a great opportunity for us. Now that Xixia's rear is empty, we can take advantage of it and attack Xingqing Mansion from both front and rear. Xixia will be destroyed by then."
Another general, Xiao Qing, also said: "The attack of the Second Prince and the Youjian Army was blocked not because of lack of strength, but because they were trapped in the Helan Mountains and the Yellow River. It would be too difficult to break through these two natural dangers, even if they were broken. , we must have paid a heavy price. If we send troops from Yunnei Prefecture, we can bypass these two lines of defense and take Xingqing Prefecture directly, or we can take Xia Prefecture first and then take Xingqing Prefecture. Then Xixia can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
All the soldiers nodded in agreement. They couldn't wait for a long time.
Only Gao Qingyi shook his head and said: "No, no, this is absolutely impossible. What you said is easy, but have you ever thought about why Xixia dared to withdraw its troops? Also, have you forgotten the reason why we have been standing still?"
Xiao Qingdao: "Mr. Gao is referring to the Southern Dynasties?"
Gao Qingyi nodded and said: "Don't forget that the Southern Dynasty has heavily guarded Hunyuan County. It is only separated from our Yunzhou by the Sanggan River. If we send troops, Yunzhou will definitely be empty. If the Southern Dynasty sends troops to sneak attack, once there is something in Yunzhou If we lose, our way back will be cut off and our entire army may be wiped out."
Xiao Qingdao: "How can the Southern Dynasty have such courage? Moreover, we also have an agreement with them on the Yunsang Alliance. In the war against Xixia, they also openly admitted that they denied the independence of Xixia. Why do they send troops and take ten thousand steps back? Even if they come We don’t need to be afraid if we attack.”
Ta Laan echoed: "What if this is just an empty city strategy used by Xixia generals, then we have lost this great opportunity to attack in vain. If I were the leader of Xixia country, facing the pressure of the army, I would very likely risk this Risk, dispatching troops from the rear to rescue, this is reasonable and not necessarily a conspiracy."
Gao Qingyi said: "Having said that, we have to be careful. As we all know, the people of the Southern Dynasties are full of tricks. Maybe this is a play between them and Xixia to lure us into the trap. In short, Dutong, this move must not be done , Otherwise, Yunzhou will be in danger."
Wanyan Zonghan frowned and said: "I originally thought that I could intimidate Xixia without sending a single soldier, making them fearful. They must divide their troops to guard, thereby reducing the pressure on Zong Wang, Xiyin and the others, but now Xixia has tightened its defense line , transferring all the elites from the east to the front line will bring a lot of resistance to Zong Wang and the others, making it more difficult for them to go further. If they are dragged further down, it will be more disadvantageous for us. By the way, what has happened to the Southern Dynasty recently? movement?"
Xiao Qingdao: "Back to the capital, the Southern Dynasty only relies on this businessman to secretly transport food to Xixia. In addition, I just heard the news that their military exercises this year are arranged in Taiyuan Prefecture, but I think he is deliberately trying to scare us and Xixia, let us not cross the line."
Another counselor added: "Oh, recently the Southern Dynasty court also sent the cook to Laizhou to negotiate with the fourth prince of Pingzhou about the disappearance of their fleet. Other than that, there has been no news."
As soon as Wanyan Zonghan heard the word "cook", he immediately asked: "How did Zong Bi respond to that cook?"
The counselor said: "It is said that the fourth prince ignored the cook. Unless the Southern Dynasty came up with evidence, it would be impossible to enter the country for investigation. And the cook tried several times to send people to Beijing to negotiate directly with His Majesty, but was rejected The fourth prince intercepted it, and now Goryeo and the Southern Dynasty are still negotiating with Pingzhou, hoping to enter Yingzhou for investigation."
Wanyan Zonghan listened thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly said: "This Western Expedition is what Zong Wang and I fought hard for. If we cannot achieve our goal, it will be very difficult to send troops again in the future. The conservatives in the DPRK will definitely try their best to stop us. Moreover, before Zong Wang left, he told me that we are not young anymore and this may be the last time we unite the troops. I think Zong Wang I also want to use my last breath to eliminate all threats and establish the hegemony of Daikin. Therefore, this battle can only be won, not failed. Now victory or defeat is only between a thin line, and we can no longer think about it. I have decided to rule personally. Soldiers. Attack the Hetao area from Yunnei Prefecture."
When Gao Qingyi heard this, he immediately became anxious and stood up in a hurry and said: "Du Tong, this is not allowed. Otherwise, we will fall into a place of eternal disaster. Please think twice, Du Tong."
If it had been anyone else, Wanyan Zonghan would have been dragged out. But Gao Qingyi was his confidant. The two of them were teachers, friends, masters and servants, and they had a very good relationship. He smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, sir, but at this time
There is no time for us to think too much. There is a saying in the Central Plains that is very good. If we continue to fight, we will be subject to chaos. I will leave 10,000 soldiers for you, sir. I also ask you, sir, to help me guard Yunzhou. In addition, I will also report
Your Majesty, please send troops from Huanglong Mansion. Sir, please rest assured, I will be able to wipe out Xixia in just a few days."
Ten thousand soldiers?
Gao Qingyi almost went crazy when he heard this. Yunzhou was facing the most elite troops in the Song Dynasty, and their strength was twice as many as theirs. Now he was only given 10,000 soldiers. What a p.s.
When he opened his mouth, Wanyan Zonghan took the lead and said: "I have made up my mind on this matter and cannot discuss it further. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."
This army is about to go into battle, and the most taboo thing is that the soldiers under the tent have different opinions. Analyzing this and analyzing that will make the army unstable.
Of course Gao Qingyi understood this truth. When he saw that Wanyan Zonghan had already made up his mind, he could only sigh in his heart and thought to himself, it seems that I can only repay Dutong's kindness with this remaining life.

Yanshan Mansion.
In the back hall where Zongze lived, there were only so many people. Just looking at them would scare people to death. Almost all the generals of the Song Dynasty were gathered here. The veterans included Zongze, Zhongshizhong, Zhang Shuye, Liu Wei, etc.
Liu Kai was Yue Fei's first Bole. After the Yunsang Alliance, Yue Fei immediately recommended Liu Kai to Li Qi. Li Qi asked Zhao Kai, so Zhao Kai appointed Liu Kai as Zhongshan's military envoy to guard Zhongshan, and then joined the general administration.
Staff Department.
Generals such as Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Guan Sheng, etc.
The younger generation of young players include Yue Fei, Fu Xuan, Wang Gui, Zhe Yanzhi, Yang Zaixing, Dong Xian, and Zhong Lu.
It can be said that there are so many talents!
There are very few counselors among them, because the Song Dynasty respected Confucian generals. To be a general, they must be able to be civilized and military. Unlike the Three Kingdoms period, civil and military affairs were separated. People like Yue Fei, Zongze, Zhang Shuye, Zhe Keqiu, etc. were all
In both civil and military affairs, this kind of person can be the commander-in-chief.
If you add Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yue Fan, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian and others, it will be complete. However, this plastic surgery is luxurious enough. No matter who sees them sitting here, they must know that it is going to happen.
It's a big deal.
However, all of their faces were filled with excitement. It was obvious that they already knew the purpose of coming to Yanshan Mansion, and there seemed to be no other purpose for them to gather together.
After a while, I saw two people walking in from the door. The one in the front had a clean face, no beard, and the one in the back was very casual, with a strand of long hair falling from his forehead. It seemed that he was not just showing off, but
No matter how useless it is, of course, it is also possible that this person is a relatively avant-garde person.
"The last general (lower official) will see the Privy Envoy."
Even though this person was young and only in his early thirties, when the generals saw this person coming in, they all stood up and saluted, all of them were respectful.
This person was naturally Li Qi, and the plain-looking person behind him was of course the disdainful Ma Qiao.
Li Qi returned the favor one by one, and exchanged a few words with the generals, teasing Yue Fei, Dong Xian and others. Of course, he did not dare to tease Zongze. These veteran generals in the army made everyone laugh. Li Qi didn't like an atmosphere that was too serious, so he made the whole atmosphere very relaxed. After the greetings were over, Li Qi came to the seat, glanced left and right, and said with a smile: "Are you all here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside, "There is still one person left."
