An error occurred while processing s private file

June. Qiantao. Wulahai City.

The Xia army finally couldn't hold on and surrendered in the city.

The Khitan Palace was established and the Khitan Army was reorganized. The Khitans finally found a living place. Then they began to fight with the Han people to recover the garden.

The preliminary preparations for the expedition to Helan Mountain were basically completed. The Han army's Bohai Army and other foreign armies held high the tiger-stealing flags and advanced westward to fight at any time.

On the tenth day of June, Luo Qinghan | sued Li Hu. Tong Guan, Wang Anzhong and Zhe Yan until Datong. He tried his best to dissuade Hu Lie Mansion to stop attacking Xixia and defend Daibei. Tong Guan and Wang Anzhong both assured Hu Lie Mansion that Bian Jing had realized the crisis of the situation and changed the strategy for Daibei.

However, the recent news from Yan Qing from Beijing was completely different from Tong Guan's statement. Bian Jing had agreed with the Jin Kingdom to join forces to attack Daibei. The relevant details have also been discussed. It is said that the Jin Kingdom was responsible for attacking Xijing. The Song Dynasty cooperated. The spoils returned to the Jin Kingdom. The nine states in front of the mountain returned to the Song Dynasty. In other words, the Song Dynasty could use others to kill Li Hu. And the nine states in front of the mountain could also be taken back to the nine states in front of the mountain. Who would not want to do such a cheap thing?

Li Hu became increasingly determined to the West. He replied to Datong and was perfunctory to Tong Guan. He devoted his main energy to defending the Jin army. In addition, he also brought attention to Zhang Guanyu of Shuozhou to pay close attention to the situation in Hedong and prevented the Northwest Army from betraying its trust and turning against the enemy.

On June 15th, Li Hu ordered to march towards Helan Mountain.

Yelu Mage led the Khitan army to open the way. Mao's army led the main force of the Huli Army to follow up. Dong Xiaochou led the resentful army to break the back. He was responsible for the safety of the grain shooting army. The 200,000 grain shooting army was led by Hong Yun to transport grain and supplies.

June 18th. Zhe Keqiu. Zhichang rushed to Wulahai City

The development of the situation in Xixia was completely different from Fan Zhichang's previous predictions. But the result was the same. Princess Cheng'an died. Her death led to the sudden intensification of conflicts between the Han and Fan. The two sides fought bloodily. Although Richard and the foreign officials won the victory, the price of this victory was too high. Xue Yuanli and a group of Han officials were baptized. In fact, it hit Xingqing's mansion hard. However, this was just the beginning. Next, Richard and the foreign officials were going to force Li Qianshun to abolish a series of new policies. The fierce shock in the court will be transmitted to the Xia period. The Xixia court and the people will inevitably fall into chaos.

At this moment, the Huli Army rushed into Lanshan in a mighty manner, which would intensify the chaos in Xixia and make the people of Xixia even more afraid. This is very beneficial to the attack of the Huli Army.

Li Hu was also a little worried. His strategy was to attack Xixia, in order to lure the Jin army south. But if the attack situation was favorable and the feint attack became a real attack, it would be obvious that the security of Datong would be difficult to guarantee.

"After you are sure that Brother Richard has the sole authority, you will launch an attack on the front line of Hengshan Tiandu Mountain?"

"I can be sure." Fan Zhichang said. Jin Xia had an agreement. As long as Xia State hand over Yelu Yanxi to the Jin State, the Jin State will cooperate with the Xia army to attack Datong. But now the Xia army has lost its front condom. It can no longer advance towards Datong as a basis. The road ahead of the attack from Helan Mountain is long and it is too expensive. Cha Ge will not do such a stupid thing. He will station troops in Helan Mountain and lure the tiger brigade to attack south."

"When you take the initiative to attack Helan Mountain, will the Jin army keep their promises and launch an attack on Datong? No one knows. Brother Richard dares to look at the Jurchens. So he must save himself. The way to save himself is to attack the Song Dynasty. The rebellion in the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the year, the earthquake broke out again in Hedong, Shaanxi. So at this moment, the Xia army can attack the Song Dynasty while asking for peace from the Song Dynasty. Beg Bianjing to put pressure on Daibei and force Hu Lie Mansion to withdraw. In this way, Brother Richard will resolve the crisis at the lowest cost.



Li Hu thought about it carefully and agreed with Fan Zhichang's view. But Zhe Keqiu tried his best to persuade him.

"You must consider the threat of the Jurchens to Datong. Whether it is the northern expedition of the desert or the southward plunder, the primary condition is to conquer Datong and take down Daibei. Even if they cannot do this, they must attack with heavy troops and ensure that the Tiger Lie Army is firmly held." The Tu pointed at by Zhe Keqiu said to Li Hu. "It will be nearly two thousand miles from Datong to Helan Mountain. If Datong is attacked, it will take at least half a month to get the news to Helan Mountain. Wait for you to withdraw your troops and return to Daibei. It will take another half a month. This will take a month to delay the Prime Minister. Will the remaining troops in Datong be absolutely sure to stick to one?"

"Why do you think that the Jurchens will take this opportunity to attack Datong?" Fan Zhichang immediately refuted. "If the Jurchens want to attack Datong, they must meet several conditions. First, the Northeast Road is very stable. Second, the desert situation is beneficial to it. Third, they need sufficient superior troops. But at present, it seems that the Jurchens do not meet these three conditions. As for the time to pass the message from Datong to Helan Mountain, it does not take half a month at all. Two or three days are enough."

Li Hu looked at Fan Zhichang in surprise. "How is this possible?"

"Because he concealed something from you." Fan pointed directly at Zhe Keqiu and said. "In order to prevent you from attacking Xixia, he deliberately hid the beacon message."

The Fenghuo message? Li Hu looked at the angry face of Zhe Keqiu. He looked at the excited Fan Zhichang and probably understood the meaning.

"The shape of the northwest is complex. Whether it is the Western Xia or the Song Dynasty.

The fastest time was to inform the news of the enemy's invasion. They were all sent by beacon fire. But at the very moment, Ding Tu defeated the invasion of the 100,000 Xixia Army. It was because he killed the beacon guards of the Xixia in advance, which led to the Xixia army's ignorance of his whereabouts and was defeated." Fan Zhi glared at Zhe Keqiu fiercely and continued. "The journey from Helan Mountain to the front is long and it is inconvenient to support. Therefore, the Xixia people built more than 100 beacon fire troughs along the edge of the Red Bull Desert. As long as Wulahai City ignited the beacon fire, this news could be spread to Xingqing Prefecture within one day."

"If Datong is attacked by the Jin army, the fast horse gallops day and night. You can definitely send this news to Yunnei within two days. There are beacons connected to the Lufu City of Yunneizhifu from Qiantao Wula Mountain. There are also beacons from Wula Mountain to Wulahai City. So as long as the news arrives in Yunnei, ignite the beacon. Within one day, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army will be able to invade the Jin army at Helan Mountain."

Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. "What do you say? In half a month, I can withdraw from Helan Mountain to Yunnei?"

"certainly.

"Fan Zhichang said. "As long as the army retreats to Yunnei, the Jin army will be attacked from both sides. The Jurchens' sneak attack will definitely fail."

Li Hu turned his eyes and looked at Zhe Keqiu with sharp eyes. He now suspected that Zhe Keqiu agreed to his promise to send troops to help him was just empty talk.

"Master, please be sure to consider the current situation..." Zhe Keqiu sighed helplessly. "The rebellion in Shandong, Hebei has lasted for more than a year. It will last for two years in winter. You can imagine how difficult the situation in Shandong, Hebei is. Why did Tong Guan personally catch Datong? It's not because the situation in Hebei is too dangerous. Worrying that the Jin army takes the opportunity to go south to plunder? Once the Jin army goes south, the Northwest Army will definitely advance east to serve the king and guard the capital. If the wars in the North are continuous at this moment, the northwest border is full of crises. How can the Northwest Army fight for the king?"

"Your words have no reason at all." Fan Zhichang refuted again. "If the Jin army goes south, it will definitely fight Daibei. That is to say, no matter whether the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Army is in Daibei or not, the Jin army will fight, and they will restrain the Tiger Lieutenant Army. The Tiger Lieutenant Army is firmly restrained. The Northwest Army dares to advance east to serve the king? Besides, the current goal of Bianjing is to kill the Tiger King, rather than relying on the Tiger King to help the Song Dynasty defend the northern border. In this case, the Tiger Lieutenant Army dares to put all the main forces in Datong? If the Song, Jin and Xia countries jointly attack Datong, how can the Tiger Lieutenant Army survive? Therefore, whether from the general trend of the world or the Daibei strategy of the Song, Jin and Xia countries, the Tiger Lieutenant Army is to immediately attack Helanshan, defeat Xixia first, turn passive to active, and move to the death game first, and get the initiative in the Daibei battlefield. In this way, you can deal with it calmly and be defeated."

What Zhe Keqiu feared most was that the Northern Army lost the opportunity to advance east to serve the king. But Fan Zhichang was so motivated that he pulled Li to attack Xixia. This made Zhe Keqiu extremely angry. "We fought with Xixia for decades. When did we reach Helan Mountain? If we attacked each other in a row, we still had a chance. But relying solely on the Tiger and Lie Army to attack all the way, we had no chance to win at all."

"Why can't the Song Dynasty defeat Dangxiang people and recover the western border? How many secrets are there? Don't you know?" Fan Zhichang was furious when he heard this. "Song had too many opportunities to defeat Xixia. But why did he lose repeatedly? Apart from the reasons of Bianjing, are your Northwest Army not responsible at all? Others may not know. But my grandfather was in charge of military affairs in the Northwest for many years. He knew very well. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me."

Fan Zhichang did not want to turn against Zhe Keke on this topic. He immediately turned to Li Hu and said solemnly: "Since Li Yuanhao's country, the people of Xixia have been learning about Fan rituals. The French have monopolized power. But since Qianshun took over the government, they have promoted the Han rituals. This situation changed immediately. The internal contradictions of the Fan people have thus transformed into the Han-Ban conflict. The intensity of the Han-Ban conflict is far greater than the power struggle within the Fan people. This dramatic change in Xingqing Prefecture was an outbreak of the Han-Ban conflict. The bloody battle between Li Qianshun and Li Cha Ge and Xue Yuanli will cause heavy damage to Xixia. Especially in recent times, internal and external troubles broke out. Xixia is in chaos. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the collapse. So this is our best opportunity to defeat Xixia. We must not miss it."

Li Hu thought for a long time and was anxious - Dong Xiaochou Mao Jun Yelu Ma Ge and Gao Baolong.

The army had just started. The front-selling army was still in Langshan. It was not far from Wulahai City. So the four commanders rushed back quickly.

Li Hu solicited their opinions. Considering the tension in Xixia, he planned to attack with all his might and aimed to capture Xingqing Prefecture as his main goal.

Dong Xiaochou and Mao Jun were both worried about Datong's safety and did not dare to take this risk, but Yelu Ma Ge supported Li Hu's idea.
