As an old proverb goes, the Yellow River has many dangers, but only one thing is rich.↖
The word "condom" at the end of this sentence naturally does not refer to condoms, but to the famous Hetao area.
This Hetao area, that is, the "Ji" bend of the Yellow River and its surrounding watersheds, was a perfect natural pasture due to its rich water and grass in the past, and it was easy to herd sheep and horses. Therefore, the Song Dynasty, which had always been short of war horses, was concerned about this.
I have been coveting it for a long time, but I have always coveted it and never got it. After all, Xixia is not a fool.
The Ordos grassland, with its green grass and white clouds, is indescribably beautiful.
However, today, a group of uninvited guests came to this endless grassland.
This group of uninvited guests is none other than Wanyan Zonghan's army.
Although Wanyan Zonghan left 10,000 to 20,000 troops lurking in Yunzhou, he still led 10,000 troops to the Hetao area. Because Xixia dispatched elites from the Yunzhou border to guard the front line, the rear was empty. Wanyan Zonghan effortlessly
Then we entered the Hetao area.
When the cavalry came to the Ordos grassland, it was like a mouse entering the rice barn. At least they no longer had to worry about horse food. With the resources contained in this grassland, Wanyan Zonghan's army was not afraid of starving to death.
However, this was the first time in history that the Jin Army entered the Hetao area. The soldiers of the Jin Army were very excited and ran around on the grassland to their heart's content. While marching, they did not go hunting to replenish food.
Looking at this piece of grassland, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly became proud and said: "No wonder the world's heroes are eyeing the Hetao area. Standing here, looking south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and being condescending. What's more important is that the water and grass here are abundant, and the resources are sufficient.
Those in the Hetao can compete with each other in the Central Plains, and they can also compete in the world."
At this point, he sighed softly and said with a hint of melancholy: "It's a pity that such a good place has fallen into the hands of the incompetent party members. If the Khitans or I, the Jurchens, had controlled this place, the Central Plains would have been included in it long ago.
How can the Southern Dynasties be peaceful in China? Sometimes, I really envy the Dangxiang people. They not only control the Hetao area, but also the Hexi Corridor. The key to the world lies here. Those who want to conquer the world should take Xixia first."
His general, Falcon Shahu, smiled and said, "But the party members may not think so at this time."
Wanyan Zonghan said: "What do you say?"
Falcon Shahu said: "It is precisely because the Dangxiang people control so many key points that all the heroes of the world are vying for this place. If the Dangxiang people live in the uninhabited desert of Mobei, they will probably not come here."
Wanyan Zonghan laughed loudly when he heard this, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "You are right, once Xixia is destroyed, the Southern Dynasty will also be destroyed. Let's go. Let's go first to help Yin Shuke and them capture Wu Ci Haicheng."
His words were filled with the domineering attitude of looking down on the world. He really didn't take any mere party members seriously.
Hearing Zong Han's heroic words of guidance for the world, the Jurchens were extremely excited and wished they could fly over with wings, defeat the Dangxiang people in one fell swoop, and seize the Hetao area.

‘Report————.”
The army marched for another two days. They were getting closer and closer to Wucihaicheng, and they could already smell the scent of Yinshan Mountain. Suddenly, a group of sentinels came galloping towards them.
"Reporting to the capital, there is a large army heading towards us from the southeast."
Wanyan Zonghan frowned and asked: 'But the Xixia reinforcements?"
The sentry detective said: 'It's not clear yet, our people have gone to investigate, but it doesn't look like a Party army, but more like a Southern Dynasty army."
‘Southern Dynasty?”
Everyone in the Jin army was shocked. Why did the Southern Dynasty army appear here?
Because they do not yet know that the Song Dynasty has announced an alliance with Xixia to jointly fight against their Jin country, therefore, their consciousness still remains on the fact that the Song Dynasty does not recognize the independence of Xixia.
Then the appearance of the Song Army in the Hetao area becomes very strange.
Could it be that the Southern Dynasty really went to war with us? Although Wanyan Zonghan was not afraid of the Southern Dynasty, whether the Southern Dynasty participated in the war or not was directly related to the overall situation, so he had to face it cautiously.
The Falcon Shahu on the side said: "General, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come!"
Wanyan Zonghan nodded, immediately ordered the army to stop moving forward, and then ordered people to investigate carefully to make sure to find out the reality of this army.
An hour later, the sentinel who went to investigate finally came back and said: "To inform the commander-in-chief, that army is not the party's reinforcements, but the Zhejia army from the south to the northwest."
Zhejiajun?
Everyone in the Jin army was shocked.
Wanyan Zonghan thought to himself that when the Southern Dynasty army came, there were only two possibilities. One was to assist Xixia, and the other was to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to seize the Hetao area. I must first find out what is true and what is true before I can make a plan. He said: "Do you have any detectives?"
Clearly, how many people are there on the other side and who is leading them?"
The sentry replied: "There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, and we saw a word "Yue" tattooed on the military flag, which must be the Southern Dynasty general Yue Fei."
Although Yue Fei was still relatively young at this time, his reputation was well known. He had made great contributions in the defense of Kaifeng, and he also chased Wanyan Zongwang for hundreds of miles in the Yanyun area, and almost captured Wanyan Zongwang alive. This Wanyan Zongwang was
Such a person, you can pursue him, this is a great honor in itself. Later, Yue Fei became the son-in-law of the Zhe family, stationed in the northwest, and became more familiar with the Jurchens.
Wanyan Zonghan hesitated a little. He was not afraid of Yue Fei, but he still didn't know what the purpose of the Song army was. He asked again: "How far are they from us?"
The sentry said: 'There are still about fifty miles."
Wanyan Zonghan then said to the generals who had accepted him: "Let the brothers prepare to fight."
Hu Shahu said: "Du Tong, the opponent only has 10,000 or 20,000 people, why don't we take the initiative to attack."
Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "These 20,000 people are just a small matter. The question is why they appear here. I want to find out this first."
"All are unified, all are unified---!"
Suddenly hearing a shout, Wanyan Zonghan turned his head and saw a group of people from the northwest speeding towards this direction.
As soon as Wanyan Zonghan gave the order, the Jin army was already in a state of battle preparation. When they saw someone coming, the archers were already ready.
Hu Shahu hurriedly said: "These people, put down their weapons quickly." Then he said to Wanyan Zonghan: "Du Tong, it seems to be Wu Dabu."
This Wu Dabu is Wan Yanchang's second son.
Wanyan Zonghan looked worried and said to himself: "It seems something big has happened to Yanyun."
After a while, Wu Dabu came to Wanyan Zonghan and said in an urgent tone: "Du Tong, something bad has happened. The Southern Dynasty has declared war on us."
This simple sentence shocked the Jin Army soldiers. Like the Jurchens in the Yanyun area, they never expected that the Southern Dynasty, which had always been weak, would dare to declare war on them.
Wanyan Zonghan, on the other hand, looked calm and just asked: "How is the battle going?"
Wu Dabu immediately reported the battle situation in the Yanyun area to Wanyan Zonghan.
When Wanyan Zonghan heard this, he became furious and said, "What did you say? Those stupid pigs were suppressed and beaten by the Southern Dynasty army?"
Although Wu Dabu is Wanyan Zonghan's cousin, his father is afraid of this nephew, not to mention him. He said weakly: "The Southern Dynasty betrayed its trust and suddenly tore up the Yunsang Alliance, and there are many troops. We are not prepared enough, so
---.”
At this point, he could no longer speak because Wanyan Zonghan's eyes had turned cold.
"Is this what they asked you to tell me?"
Wanyan Zonghan asked lightly, and then snorted: "Such an excuse, it's hard for them to say it. Are all their wars all these years in vain? It really pisses me off. When I go back, I must take care of it."
They are a bunch of stupid pigs, I trust them so much. Is this how they repay my trust by handing Yanyun area to them?"
Wu Dabu was furious when he saw Wanyan Zonghan, and he dared not reply.
Hu Shahu said: "Please calm down your anger. The most urgent task is to return to the rescue as soon as possible."
Wanyan Zonghan snorted: "Should I save these stupid pigs and let them continue to embarrass me, Daijin?"
Having said that, he was certainly anxious and said: "Don't forget, there is a Western Army next to us."
Ushahu said: "Then let's destroy this Western army first, and then go back to rescue?"
Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath and said, "Wait and see."
"Du Tong, look quickly."
Someone suddenly pointed to the south and shouted.
Wanyan Zonghan turned around and saw five or six people looking at them from an arched hill three hundred steps away.
A person with better eyesight said: "That seems to be a soldier from the Southern Dynasties."
They are all running in front of them to monitor them. At least you should hide for a while. It would be too disrespectful. Ushahu said angrily: "Do you want me to send someone to catch them and bring them back?"
Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "How can you catch up at such a distance? Let them do it. Just let the brothers get ready."
"Report---."
The sentinel who went to investigate finally came back and said: "To report to the capital, the Southern Dynasty army suddenly stopped when it was still thirty miles away from us."
"Stopped?"
Wanyan Zonghan asked: "Why did they stop?"
The sentry shook his head and said: "I don't know, they just didn't move forward, but they didn't rest or set up camp."
Hu Shahu said: "Du Tong, what kind of tricks are these people from the Southern Dynasties playing?"
Wanyan Zonghan pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "They are waiting for us to make a decision."
"Wait---wait for us to make a decision?"
Falcon Shahu looked surprised.
Wanyan Zonghan said: "They are looking at whether we are going to Wucihai City or going south to attack Xingqing Mansion. Whether we are attacking Wucihai City or Xingqing Mansion, we have to cross the river. In this way
, they can take the opportunity to sneak attack us from behind."
"This is unreasonable. The people of the Southern Dynasties are really cunning." Hu Shahu snorted angrily: "In that case, why don't we take a pre-emptive strike and eliminate them before we talk."
Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "I think they are still very afraid of fighting us head-on. If we go, they will definitely run away. In this way, we will play the game of lion chasing sheep on the grassland, which will hit them right."
Actually, the purpose of their move is just to frighten us and make us afraid, so we dare not attack any side."
