Chapter 1420
1096. Sending troops to deal with
The magistrate of Dazhou has vaguely guessed that Zheng Yihang and Du Hu stayed in Tongchuan, which must be related to Xixia.
At this moment, he did not dare to delay and immediately shouted to the outside: "Go and invite the two commanders Zheng Yihang and Du Hu!"
No matter why these messengers came, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu were both going to make a judgment and make a decision, so he, the magistrate, didn't have to worry too much.
When the soldiers outside the door took the order, the magistrate just asked these messengers to wait for a while now, and asked the maid to come with tea.
Later, the content of the conversation among the people was only about people's livelihood, customs, etc. The atmosphere was also very warm.
About half an hour passed, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu led more than ten entourages to the outside of the lobby.
The magistrate stood up and smiled and said, "The two commanders are here."
Then he went outside to meet him.
In terms of official titles, he is actually similar to Du Hu and Zheng Yihang. But in terms of value, he cannot compare with the two.
After all, there were countless prefectures in the Song Dynasty, but there were only more than twenty imperial guards now.
It can be said that every commander in the army is a treasure of the Song Dynasty. He is also a hero in the minds of the people of the Song Dynasty.
The Xixia messengers also quickly stood up.
When he arrived outside the door, he bowed to Zheng Yihang and Du Hu, who were smiling on his face, "I have met two commanders!"
The magistrate said beside him: "Captain Du, Commander Zheng, these heroes are all under the command of General Heliancheng, Xixia. They come to find you to discuss matters, please ask inside!"
Zheng Yihang and Du Hu both bowed to the prefect, almost nodded to the letters, and walked into the lobby.
The congregation followed them and walked in.
The magistrate of Dazhou still had a wink and said, "Then you guys will discuss here, I will deal with some political affairs first."
Then he left.
Of course, he made room for Zheng Yihang and others. This is his office and government office, so it would be strange if he needs to go to another place to handle political affairs.
However, Zheng Yihang and others would not stop him.
They knew why these Heliancheng messengers came here. And the fewer people know about this, the better.
As soon as he sat down in the lobby, Du Hu said to the head of the letter: "General Helian has reached the frontier?"
The leader almost nodded, and then handed it to Du Hu from the letter written by Lieutenant General Heliancheng and Qu Rujian, who wrote together, "This is a secret letter from the general, please check it out."
Du Hu took the letter and opened it immediately. Zheng Yihang turned his head from the side and looked over.
The content in the letter was very simple, asking Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and others to closely monitor the movements of Pang Hongguang's defenders on the east Lizhou Road. Just when the defenders on the east Lizhou Road approached Heliancheng and Qu Rujian and others set up camp, they asked the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to suppress him. As for the Fengxiang and the defenders on the east Lizhou Road following Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and the defenders on the two sides of Lintao, they actually said they could solve it themselves.
This naturally surprised Du Hu and Zheng Yihang. I don’t know where the confidence of Heliancheng and Qu Rujian came from.
Furthermore, who will the defenders of Lizhou West Road give to deal with it?
Naturally, they did not know that Jia Fenghua, the West Road of Lizhou, had already sent a secret message to Xixia Imperial City and expressed his allegiance to Li Xiushu.
This matter is top secret even in Xixia. There are probably only a few people who know about Xixia.
Of course, Heliancheng and Qu Rujian are now aware of the situation.
Although he may not be prepared for Jia Fenghua, he will not be able to incorporate him into the hostile camp at the moment.
After reading the letter, Du Hu and Zheng Yihang looked at each other.
Then Du Hu looked at the head of the letter and said, "Please return to General Heliancheng, we know what we know."
It is true that they have less than 20,000 imperial guards under their command, but they are still confident in the Lizhou East Road defenders who suppressed Pang Hongguang.
After all, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire East Lizhou Road, and the maximum number of people who can be drawn is only more than 20,000.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were often able to get ten.
The head courier showed a relaxed look on his face and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, the two commanders."
Then he did not stay any longer, and after saying goodbye, he left the government office with the messengers.
Zheng Yihang and Du Hu were still sitting in the lobby.
After these messengers walked away, Zheng Yihang looked at Du Hu with a smile and said, "Old Du, Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and Fengxiang, and almost all the soldiers who could fight in Lintao were brought to the border. If the soldiers from the two routes really planned to rebel against Xixia, do you think they could fight? Moreover, there were still many soldiers on the West Lizhou Road. Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou East and West Lizhou Road have always been the husband and wife, and they said that Bulituo, if Fengxiang and Lintao Road rebel against Xia, then Lizhou Road would not stand by or watch, right?"
Du Hu chuckled, "Don't worry. Since the two of them just need to suppress the Xixia army on Lizhou East Road, then we will do what we should do."
He didn't seem to be very willing to help Xixia. It was probably because Xixia did not send troops to help this time when the Song Dynasty was full of enemies, and he felt a little resentful.
A woman is a woman after all.
The Empress of Xixia simply wanted to take advantage of the situation, but never thought of giving.
Zheng Yihang just laughed and stopped responding when he heard this.
Of course he could figure out what appeared in Du Hu's mind.
If it weren't for the emperor's order, even he wouldn't be willing to care about the messes in Xixia. Even if Pang Hongguang and others could drag the Xixia empress off the horse.
In this way, the entire Xixia capital could be taken down justifiably after the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty now does not need the ally of Xixia. To be honest, during the time of alliance, Xixia really did not help the Song Dynasty.
Only when Chongqing Prefecture did Xixia make great efforts everywhere, but the one who actually took Chongqing Prefecture was still Marshal Yue?
The one who really made the Song Dynasty feel that it was owed to Xixia was that the Emperor Li Wangyuan of Xixia died in Chongqing Prefecture. He really had no contribution and had hard work.
Not long after, the magistrate of Dazhou also returned to the lobby.
However, he did not ask what the messengers, Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and others said.
The three of them just greeted each other in the lobby, and then Du Hu and Zheng Yihang also said goodbye and left.
On this day, the two armies of Tianxiong and Tianmeng began to prepare in the military camp outside the city, preparing to send troops to approach the border.
Two more days.
Emperor Ah Xing left Changsha.
Jingzhou, North Road, Jinghu.
Zhu Haiwang, Zhong Jian, Duan Shi, Yu Feihang and others have been in Jingzhou City for four days.
Although Zhu Haiwang often went to the Zhennan Military Region to check and Zhang Jue stood up for him, he had not officially taken over the affairs of Tianjue's military.
Gu Junying and Ge Zaixin were fully responsible for the time when the army was heading to Dali.
That day.
The army was finally ready.
A soldier in the army sent a message to the Marshal's Mansion in Zhennan, saying that the army could set off at any time.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue immediately called Zhu Haiwang and others to the main hall.
Then he didn't mean to leave more people, so he took everyone to the Zhennan Military Region.
I don’t know what the situation is in Dali now, but Zhu Haiwang and others’ itinerary to Dali is indeed quite urgent.
The army led by Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei were already too far ahead of them at this time.
Although Zhang Jue liked Zhu Haiwang, in this case, he would naturally not keep him for personal relationships.
Not long after arriving at the Zhennan Military Region, Zhu Haiwang, Gu Junying and others led Tianjue, and Tianluo left the military region and headed west.
Most of the soldiers in these two armies were originally under the command of Feng Hebi and Duan Shi.
Although they also came from the defenders of various prefectures and towns, some of them knew Duan Shi.
Seeing Duan Shi wearing the Song Dynasty official robe, he didn't know what the soldiers were thinking.
Duan Shi was probably a little complicated when facing these old faces.
I remember how majestic he was when he came to Song. He thought he could become the truly famous prince in Dali.
Now, I can only say that ideals are full and reality is skinny.
But he was also helpless because if he did not surrender, all he faced was death.
And these soldiers, I think so.
They said they were surrendering, but in fact they were no different from captives. If they did not surrender to Song, it would be really difficult to return to Dali alive.
This time, Dali was in a state of war, and most of the troops in the country gathered in the territory of the Song Dynasty. The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty finally defeated them, but there was no reason to let the tiger return to the mountain again.
