King of Song

Chapter 426 Chapter [-]
Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shanxi Road in Yanzhou, got the news. Although he had not arrived in person, he urgently dispatched [-] troops to the north to help.

In fact, since the beginning of the peace talks, they have been on guard and have stationed an army in Suizhou and Yanzhou to be prepared.It was originally just a defensive measure, but now it has come in handy.

With reinforcements, Liu Changzuo's side will be much more relaxed. Twenty-five thousand troops are enough to put pressure on Suizhou.This made Xixia shrink its troops and assume a defensive posture, so Qingjian City was not hindered.

In this regard, the Queen Mother Liang was not frustrated.After all, the direction of their main attack this time is Linzhou and Fuzhou.Furthermore, when Lin Zhao went to Jialu Village, the iron kite had already launched an attack on a special target, so that was the focus.As for Suizhou and Yanzhou, it would be best if there is a breakthrough in the first line, but if not, it doesn't matter, just do a good job of defense.

Although Tuobashi guarded the city of Suizhou imperviously, it was a precarious and dangerous place after all.It is not good for Empress Dowager Liang to be in danger alone. Tuobashi persuaded him several times, hoping that the remaining two thousand iron kites and spirit fox guards would be dispatched to escort the Empress Dowager to Yinzhou for escape.

But Empress Dowager Liang did not move at all. The reason was that if she left, it would shake the morale of the army and damage morale.Now that the Song Dynasty had already played the banner of capturing the Empress Dowager Liang alive, she also simply disclosed the news of her stay in Suizhou to boost the morale of the army, so as to avoid the suspicion of the soldiers and make the Empress Dowager Xixia appear cowardly.

As a result, the Song army's offensive became more violent.Perhaps the soldiers of the Song Army had worries and doubts in the past, but now they know that the Queen Mother Liang is in Suizhou City, so they will attack even harder. It can be said that the morale is boosted and they vow to make great contributions.But Liu Changzuo knew what his mission was.

Lin Zhao said that as long as he delays holding Tuobashi, it will be a great achievement.Of course, even if Suizhou is pretending, it has to look good.

Empress Dowager Liang thought she was well-organized, but she ignored a principled issue. Things on the battlefield are never in her own hands, nor can she do whatever she wants. The trend is something that cannot be predicted at all.

She thought that if the main battlefields were Linzhou and Fuzhou, the Song army would do their best to rescue Jialu Village, and then fight Xixia decisively in Linzhou and Fuzhou from there.Empress Dowager Liang had a very good idea, and she rationally thought of the shape of the Song Dynasty's territory in the northwest.However, one of the most fundamental truths is ignored, the straight line between two points is the shortest.

It is still possible to pass directly from the land of Xixia, and it will be more convenient and quicker. The Wuding River is the best channel.

It's true that stereotyped thinking kills people.

Just as they were sticking to Suizhou and Liang Yibu was fighting vigorously in Linzhou, Zhong Er, who was stationed in Wudingchuan, immediately dispatched troops and quickly went north along the Wuding River Valley.

And Zhe Kexing in Fuzhou immediately dispatched troops after receiving the summons from his brother-in-law, and went down along the Wuding River, and the armies of the two sides soon converged in Jingzhou.Although Jingzhou City was not captured, it also isolated the Jingzhou Army on the east bank of the Wuding River. To some extent, the east bank of the Wuding River was already in the hands of the Song Army.

Most of the Jingzhou army went to attack Jialuzhai and guarded the communication channels of the Song army.The rest of the army barely defended Jingzhou City, and it was almost impossible to counter the Song Army.What's more, the Song Dynasty dispatched the elite Zhongjia Army and Zhejia Army, and now the two armies are joining forces, which is even more unstoppable.

Under such circumstances, Wudinghe was immediately controlled by the Song army, and the Xixia army dared not do anything at all.

Wudinghe, Zhong Er and Zhe Kexing laughed after meeting, this time dealing with the Xixia people was really refreshing.In particular, Zhe Kexing was finally able to avenge the defeat of Jingzhou, and he was ashamed.

The Zhong family army also felt elated. Song Xia had never won such a major victory in a battle.If possible, this time the land east of the Wuding River can be completely controlled by the Song Dynasty.You must know that many of them were originally lost land. Of course, they were occupied by Li Yuanhao, and the Song Dynasty acquiesced.Now it can be regarded as regaining the lost land, and it can also be regarded as expanding the territory. No matter from which point of view, they are a great achievement.

Of course, all of this is due to Lin Zhao. If it wasn't for Lin Zhao's planning, how could they have such credit.

"General Zhe, it's all your sister-in-law's ingenious plan, and he did the trick!" Zhong Er was envious. Talents like Lin Zhao are the sons-in-law of the Zhe family, and their future is boundless. They will definitely benefit the Zhe family in the future, but it's a pity that they don't have one. daughter.However, Lin Zhao is not bad for Zhongjia, of course, it needs to be further strengthened.Zhong Er thought to himself, but he could consider making Uncle Yi and him a brother with a different surname...

Zhe Kexing is naturally happy to have such a powerful sister-in-law, but unfortunately he has never met.

"Your sister-in-law is young and promising, a good-looking talent, and a general. He will never let you down."

Zhe Kexing said with a smile: "That's natural, the person She Mei likes, of course she can't be wrong."

"Before leaving, Lin Shilang said that after the war settles down, he will go to Fuzhou to pay a visit. You should prepare well!"

"That's natural!" Zhe Kexing was also looking forward to it, hoping to meet his brother-in-law as soon as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the battle situation in Wuding River was sent to Suizhou, the Empress Dowager Liang turned pale with fright, and the situation suddenly became very bad.

At this time, the apprentices east of the Wuding River were actually under the control of the Song army, and half of Suizhou and half of Jingzhou were lost.The back of the Xixia army in Jialuzhai was cut off, completely surrounded by the Song army on three sides, and the east was the surging Yellow River.

The battle in Linzhou, which was going well, also fell into trouble. The Song army actively mobilized the army to the north through the Wuding River for reinforcements, which made Liang Yibu's situation very bad. The seemingly smooth situation disappeared in an instant. Without a trace, in trouble.

At this moment, Liang Yi regretted his mistakes, and his only hope was to go to ambush Lin Zhao's iron kite. If this side wins, it will be a consolation and save a little face.It's a pity that things backfired, and Wang Menghui came back with only three or four hundred remnants and defeated generals by his side.The iron kite suffered a disastrous defeat, suffered heavy casualties, and almost wiped out the entire army...

In this way, it is completely the result of a complete defeat.The Empress Dowager Liang was very angry. This was a huge blow to her and to the Xixia Kingdom.She also thought about counterattacking Wudinghe, but Liu Changzuo suddenly withdrew his troops at this time, and [-] troops assisted Chong Er to firmly guard the Wudinghe passage.

At this time, Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, also rushed to Suizhou.The accompanying army guarded the border tightly, and Tuobashi in Suizhou couldn't do anything at all.Not only that, but Wang Shao from Gyeongju received the news and made some moves to counterattack Xixia.

For a while, Xixia's situation was extremely bad.In desperation, I had no choice but to retreat...

Before leaving, Empress Dowager Liang looked at the unreachable Wuding River in the east, and lamented: "Poor bones beside the Wuding River, they are still people in the dream of a spring girl."

The same verse also fits her in another way.The Xixia soldiers who died by the Wuding River were indeed wronged, and she seemed to be the person in the dream, too whimsical, and it could only be a nightmare in the end.
