After Zhang Kai left, Wang Zhongzheng arrived at Zhang Yue's tent.
Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Zhongzheng, who looked evil, and asked, "What's important for the envoy?"
Wang Zhongzheng said: "Zhang Jinglue, our family has been in Xihe for several months, and we haven't felt sorry for you at all, right?"
Zhang Yue said: "What are you saying? Don't Zhang and you always have a good relationship?"
"Then I would like to ask the general, why did he retreat from Yigong City without permission and then negotiate with Dong Fe for peace?" Wang Zhongzheng looked ugly.
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Master, please sit down. What else do I want to say?"
Wang Zhongzheng refused to sit down and said: "Zhang Jinglue, our family has always been respectful and polite to you. We always think that you are a person who can help you all the time. But why don't you know that your majesty
Mind."
"This city was conquered by our army after hundreds of people were defeated. How can we abandon it so easily? How can this be worthy of the dead soldiers? And now that Mu Zheng has surrendered, our army is taking advantage of the victory to attack Qingtang in one fell swoop.
When you made an emergency landing at Dong Fei, why did you give up halfway?"
"Do you know what the official wants most urgently now? He wants to expand the territory. He has responded to our Xihe's requests. How do we repay him? Does the strategy have the intention of raising the bandits' self-respect?"
"Asshole!"
Zhang Yue slapped him and scolded him angrily.
He immediately threw an official document to Wang Zhongzheng and said: "This is yesterday's scouting report. Liang Yi, the Prime Minister of the Xia Kingdom, has led an army to Lanzhou. If we go deeper, what should we do if Xixia cuts off our food route?"
Wang Zhongzheng was surprised when he heard this. After reading the detective report, he finally understood why Zhang Yue wanted to negotiate peace with Dong Fe.
Wang Zhongzheng secretly blamed himself for being reckless, but he still said: "But you shouldn't abandon Yigong City!"
Zhang Yue said: "It is too difficult to supply food and grass in Yigong City..."
Wang Zhongzheng said: "We don't think so. Once our army captures a public city, we can capture the Shannan tribe, and Taozhou can also enter our territory. What does a mere supply of grain and grass mean?"
Zhang Yue said: "Did the envoy from Fang write in his report to the officials again that our army has captured all of Taozhou by seizing one public city?"
Wang Zhongzheng was told the central idea by Zhang Yue, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it.
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Before I killed Gui Zhang, you told the emperor to escort him to the capital. Now, in order to make the officials happy, you dare to say that our army has taken all Taozhou?"
Wang Zhongzheng said: "Zhang Jinglue, I am also doing this for the overall situation of Xihe! Taozhou can be connected with Minzhou if you take it. Now if you play it, your achievements are comparable..."
Zhang Yue interrupted Wang Zhongzheng's words and said: "Fangshi, Zhang understands your good intentions. It's just that the next time you write a memorial, you still have to discuss some matters with Zhang."
"Don't risk your life just to please the officials!"
"You!" Wang Zhongzheng stomped his feet upon hearing this, and then left angrily.
…
Lanzhou City.
Xixia Prime Minister Liang Yi was stationed in the city with 7,000 soldiers and horses.
Seeing the water of the Yellow River flowing eastward, Liang Yi was uneasy. He thought that as a foreign relative, he was now the most powerful person in Xixia. In the Xixia Kingdom, only Du Mawei and Gong Mengxi were the second most powerful people.
he.
Gong Meng was a close confidant of the Empress Dowager Liang who worked as an intermediary with Liang Yimi. The Liang brothers and sisters now completely control the state affairs. Before, the general Wei Minglangyu relied on Li Yuanhao's biological brother and did not pay attention to the Liang brothers and sisters. The result was that
Not only was he excluded from the center, he was also dismissed from office.
The political situation in Xixia is also in turmoil now.
Although the Liang brothers were busy eliminating dissidents, they had been paying attention to the Song Dynasty's attack on Xihe. After Mu Zheng defeated Hezhou, they suddenly had the intention to conquer Xihe.
When the Song army attacked Hezhou for the first time, Liang Yimi led his army across the Yellow River in preparation for attacking the Song Dynasty. He forgot about it after knowing that Mu Zheng was defeated.
This time Zhang Yue attacked Hezhou again.
Liang Yimi and the capital's Ma Wei led troops southward, while Gong Mengyu sat in the center and sent troops to form rivers and rivers to attack the Song army's front and back.
Xixia sent troops to attack Dingqiang City, which was also the city of Ana that Zhang Yue proposed to build.
Dingqiang City is located between Hezhou City and Xizhou City. It is where the Song Army's food route is located. Liang Yimi and Du Mawei sent troops to attack here to cut off the retreat of the Song Army's tens of thousands of troops.
As long as the food road is cut off, the tens of thousands of Song troops under Tabai City will be defeated without a fight.
However, Song general Wang Junwan defeated the Xia army several times in Jiechuan, and Gao Zunyu was invincible in defending the city under Huizhou City. Xixia wanted to bypass Huizhou and attack Qinzhou, but was defeated by the patrolman Liu Weiji.
When Liang Yimi and others arrived with the main force of Xixia, the Song army had already defeated Guizhang.
All of them returned without success.
The Roman leader of the capital rushed back from the front line with his troops. When they got to the top of the city, they saw Liang Yi looking at the water of the Yellow River with a melancholy look on his face.
The capital of Rome was a little angry with Liang Yimi. In recent years, the Liang brothers and sisters had been trying to eliminate dissidents. They could not even tolerate famous generals like Wei Minglangyu. Instead, they made some flatterers occupy high positions and kept talking about attacking the Song Dynasty.
As a banner, the result was that the Song Dynasty almost annexed Hehuang.
Ma Wei, the capital, sat next to Liang Yimi and said: "Ms. sir, I came back from the south. I heard that after the Song army's great victory in Tabaicheng, Mu Zheng had surrendered, Gui Zhang was killed, and Gui Zhang's grandson Ce was fighting on the side.
Is it true that I was registered as a minister of the Song Dynasty?"
Liang Yimi nodded and said: "Is it true? The main force of the Song Army has returned to Hezhou. It seems that it plans to go to Dingqiang City to fight with our army?"
"Decisive battle?" Du Mawei asked, "How can we fight like this now? The Song army has a new victory and its morale is strong. Don't forget that there are 30,000 soldiers and horses of Gao Zunyu and Yu Zanghuama in the east."
Liang Yi said: "But I managed to gather the troops here and leave without a fight. The people of Song Dynasty thought that we knew that there was no one in the Gao Kingdom."
Doroma Odao: "Then we have to win the battle."
Liang Yi buried his head and said: "The Song people have now gained half of Hehuang, and their morale is strong. If we don't fight here, how can Dong Fei support it?"
"The Tibetan tribes south of the Yellow River and even north of the Yellow River that are attached to us will surrender. If Dong Xiang cannot resist the Song army, I am afraid that even the city of Liangzhou will not be protected."
The imperial capital Ma Weidao said: "Didn't you Liang family compare you to Lin Bu, the son of your wife Dong Fei? Besides, didn't we defeat the Song army in Yanyan Mansion last year? Didn't we kidnap tens of thousands of livestock?"
Liang Yi said: "These are all losses outweighing the gains. Many peasants have fled to the Song Dynasty in recent years. We have not recovered from the battle in Luowucheng back then."
"Besides, I'm afraid this year's harvest will be bad again. In the past, we could survive by looting, but I don't know how many people will starve to death this year."
Ma Wei, the capital, said: "What's the point of fighting with the Song people? Why not just make peace with the city?"
Liang Yimi looked at the capital city and said: "It seems that we can only ask for peace from the Song people."
Du Mawei cursed in his heart, you Han people just go round and round, if you want to ask for something but don't say it directly, you have to go around in such a big circle.
In Xixia, the Liang brothers and sisters, who were Han Chinese, had always advocated attacking the Song Dynasty. However, when the Song army captured Hehuang, they were moved by the Song army and felt that they were outmatched. The Xia Kingdom actually took the initiative to seek peace.
When Xixia's humble letter of credentials for peace was delivered to Bianjing, the entire court was shocked again.
