Xiao Heda was originally a general of the Khitan tribe in the grassland. Many years ago, Xixia got married in the grassland. Xiao Heda came to the Xixia Kingdom with the princess of the grassland. Because of his outstanding martial arts and excellent riding and shooting skills, he was appointed by the Emperor of Xixia. Later, he was appointed by the Emperor of Xixia.
Xiao Heda went to war with Xixia and made countless military exploits, so he was given the national surname and was highly used.
But as this guy became more and more powerful, his ambitions began to rise sharply. However, under the shadow of the national war, Xixia rapidly expanded its troops, temporarily suppressing Xiao Heda's ambitions. If the war goes well, and the Xixia army enters the Central Plains, maybe
Xiao Heda's ambition will be completely suppressed, and he will remain a loyal minister of Xixia for the rest of his life.
However, the war was hindered, and the Xixia army was completely involved in the Jiayuguan battle. This made Xiao Heda's ambitions expand rapidly again. However, Xiao Heda was not from the Central Plains after all, and he only heard about the specific strength of the Central Plains, and did not know much about it.
Determine whether the Central Plains can finally destroy the Xixia army.
Zeng Yi's arrival gave Xiao Heda a certain degree of confidence. If the Central Plains were really that powerful and he could cooperate with the Central Plains to seize Xixia, Xiao Heda would definitely not be able to resist the temptation.
After hesitating for a whole night, Xiao Heda invited Zeng Yi to a banquet the next day. After attending the banquet, Zeng Yi found that Xiao Heda had several people with him. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that this guy most likely wanted to find out.
Explore your own depth!
"Thank you for the hospitality, General!"
"You're welcome, young hero, hurry up and take your seats!" After saying a few polite words, everyone took their seats and started the hypocritical banquet.
After drinking for three rounds, a middle-aged scribe on one side said casually: "I heard that the Central Plains army has conquered Tubo. I don't know if this news is true or false?"
Zeng Yi smiled slightly, "I can confirm this news for you. Now all Tibetans have returned to the Central Plains!"
"Oh, although Tubo is not as good as Xixia, it still has some strength. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable. The Central Plains Dynasty deserves to be the Central Plains Dynasty!"
"The strength of Tubo is indeed pretty good, but the Central Plains army has the cooperation of Mingjiao masters and is also equipped with new weapons. Not to mention that Tubo cannot stop it. If in a few days, the Central Plains defenders at Jiayuguan are also equipped with new weapons, the Xixia army will not be able to withstand it either.
living!"
Xiao Heda vaguely knew something about the artillery, and his expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Zeng Yi said a lot, and most of it was true, but it was artistically processed. In Zeng Yi's words, the Xixia army would be destroyed sooner or later.
Seeing that he was almost fooled, Zeng Yi said: "General, since you are not from Xixia, why should you be loyal to Xixia? At this time, if the general raises his own troops and the Central Plains army drags the Xixia army, the general will be able to quickly gain victory.
A large piece of land, whether you become a king yourself or join the Central Plains court, you will get greater benefits!"
"Ni Shaoxia, come on, let's have a drink and don't talk about state affairs!"
"If you don't talk about state affairs, what were you doing just now?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
...
Xiao Heda was still hesitant. After all, this was a rebellion. However, when the news that the south of Xixia was turned upside down by a small group of Central Plains troops came to Xiao Heda, Xiao Heda could no longer bear it.
It seems to Heda that Xixia is indeed at the end of its tether. With an elite army of more than 50,000, there is actually no way to defeat 20,000 Central Plains people!
A few days later, Xiao Heda made up his mind. The opportunity is rare. If he misses it, no matter who wins or loses, there will basically be no such opportunity. If Xixia wins, Xiao Heda will never dare to launch a rebellion. If the Central Plains wins,
He also had no chance to march into Xixia. Even if he surrendered to the Central Plains at that time, he would not be able to gain much benefit.
After repeated hesitation, Xiao Heda finally made up his mind, and while Xixia was focusing all its attention on the Central Plains, he launched a rebellion. The troops who had been secretly preparing for many years gathered together and directly sent troops to attack Xixia Xiping Mansion and seek to capture Yanzhou.
Elites from all over Xixia have long been deployed to the front line. At this time, in Xixia, apart from a few imperial guards and regular troops protecting the capital of Xixia, there are only 50,000 troops left to encircle and suppress the blood-clad guards and the Central Plains cavalry.
After the news of Xiao Heda's rebellion came, the ministers and clan members of the Xixia Kingdom were shocked. They immediately abandoned the Xueyiwei and others and mobilized tens of thousands of troops to judge. Unfortunately, this army could not leave at all. The Xueyiwei had already received Zeng Yi's flight.
The pigeon sent a message that once the Xixia army was ready to evacuate, they would immediately take the initiative to hold back the Xixia army.
When the blood-clad guards discovered that the Xixia army was about to retreat, they immediately led their men and began to sneak attack the Xixia army, forcing the Xixia army to have no way to go and quell the rebellion!
Xixia, who was extremely anxious, touched the minds of the frontline troops. Unfortunately, the news of the deployment of troops to counter the rebellion had not yet been conveyed. The fierce battle in Jiayuguan began again, but this time it was initiated by the Central Plains. Qinglong also received it. Zeng
Yi used Jin Yiwei's intelligence network to deliver the letter back.
Qinglong did not expect that Zeng Yi actually provoked the Xixia civil strife. Needless to say, Qinglong directly contacted the commander of the Northwest Army, so the Northwest Army took the initiative to provoke the Xixia Army.
The battle on the front line was so fierce that even if they couldn't provide support, the Xixia court did not dare to mobilize any more soldiers. But the result of not deploying soldiers was that Xixia was embarrassed to find that they had no troops to send!
Xixia also has a force, and it is an elite force, which is the imperial guard that protects the imperial city. However, no one in the Xixia government and the public has mentioned this force. Because this force is to protect the powerful people of Xixia. Under such circumstances,
It is impossible for these people to send out their own bodyguards. If Yanzhou is lost, Xixia will be in danger if the imperial city encounters trouble.
Zeng Yi thought that Xixia was on the verge of extinction, but he didn't expect that Xixia would appoint Ren Dejing, the governor of Jingzhou, to suppress the rebellion. What Zeng Yi didn't expect was that Ren Dejing was actually very powerful.
Within a short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers were mobilized and headed straight for Xiazhou.
He surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao with one move, forcing Xiao Heda to stop his attack on Yanzhou.
After the war started, Zeng Yi knew about the local forces in Xixia, but he knew very little about Ren Dejing. This man had always been very low-key in Xixia, so low-key that Zeng Yi ignored him.
After Ren Dejing sent troops to quell the rebellion, Zeng Yi immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei to investigate Ren Dejing's information. Zeng Yi soon obtained Ren Dejing's information.
What surprised Zeng Yi was that Ren Dejing was not from Xixia. What surprised him even more was that not only was this guy not from Xixia, he was also from the Central Plains!
Speaking of which, Ren Dejing has some connections with Zeng Yi. This guy turned out to be a great general under King Xing back then.
