It is not too difficult for Yidong Factory to create such a detailed map. It can even be said that if you are willing to work hard, as long as you mobilize the strong man from the realm of heaven and man to personally survey the terrain, you can do this in a very short time.

Qinzhou is located on Qinfeng Road and Fengxiang Prefecture, which is located in the capital of Xixia. In fact, the distance between Xingqing Prefecture is not too far. If it is a straight line, it is only hundreds of miles away.

From Qinzhou to the northwest, along the way are Lanzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou and Guyumen Pass. This route is simply the route of the Silk Road in the past.

With the founding of Xixia Kingdom, this land golden road naturally fell into the hands of the Xixia people. At least an extremely important section of the Silk Road is located in the borders of Xixia.

With this path, Xixia can obtain a steady stream of resources, giving Xixia the confidence to confront the Song Dynasty.

Chu Yi glanced over the map and saw the city of state that was marked on the Silk Road. These cities were important nodes on the Silk Road, and were guarded by the Western Xia soldiers.

However, relatively speaking, the Western Xia soldiers were more located in border towns where the Song Dynasty intersected with the Song Dynasty. The two countries held hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border, and there were constant conflicts of all sizes every year. The conflict that never stopped alone would cause at least thousands of people to be killed or injured every year.

Tong Guan, who had been sitting there, suddenly felt shocked in his heart, and he heard Chu Yi say to him: "Tong Jianjun, you have been in the northwest for many years and must have a very deep understanding of Xixia. This time, Chu came to destroy Xixia. I wonder if Tong Jianjun has any suggestions?"

Tong Guan hesitated for a moment, looked at the map, and then slowly said: "If the general manager is determined, then Tong suggested that the general manager divide the troops into three groups, and send troops from Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Jun Road and Hedong Road to enter the territory of Xixia with his mighty military power. He should be able to fight and do his best..."

In fact, anyone with some military knowledge can see from the map that the situation between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes since the Hengshan line fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that the line of Hengshan fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the land in the heart of Xixia was completely exposed to the army of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Xixia, it would not be too difficult.

However, without Chu Yi's appearance, it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongol Yuan, and the Western Xia Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongol Yuan.

In fact, with the strength of the Western Army and the support of the court, even if the Western Xia cannot be completely destroyed, it is probably possible to completely destroy Xixia. It is still no problem to occupy most of the Xixia territory.

However, since the Western Army seized the Hengshan line and gained an absolute advantage in the confrontation with Xixia, the ministers in the court seemed to be blinded collectively, as if they could not see the opportunity to destroy Xixia.

Later, the Western Army was recruited to exterminate the Manichaeism rebellion in Jiangnan. After all, it was nothing more than the emperor and many civil officials in the court who felt the threat from the Western Army.

The Western Army has been fighting with the Western Xia for many years and has become the strongest military in the Song Dynasty. The tenth soldiers who can fight and are good at fighting are all in the Western Army. However, the Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature and suppressed military affairs. If the Western Army destroyed the Western Xia with an unstoppable momentum, it is difficult to ensure that the Western Army will not be able to form a big and unscathed situation.

In this case, even if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you will not see the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia like a blind man, and you will definitely not give the Western army a chance to grow up.

As the Western Army Supervisor, Tong Guan naturally knew the thoughts of the court, but he was leading the army outside and had to avoid suspicion. Even though he knew that he could try to severely damage or even destroy the Western Xia, he could only suppress the thoughts of the heart for various reasons.

Now that he heard Chu Yi’s advice, Tong Guan naturally said that Mie Xia Nianxiang, whom he wanted to do but could not do it all day long.

Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Jun Road, and Hedong Road, all of these three routes are adjacent to Xixia. If the Xixia is surrounded by a crowd and a half, if hundreds of thousands of troops are really put into operation, the custody will make Xixia busy.

People like Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and others also showed a look of agreement on their faces after hearing Tong Guan's suggestions. Obviously, Tong Guan's ideas were extremely reliable and very safe. Although it was suspected of division of troops, they naturally needed to division of troops when division of troops, which did not mean that division of troops would inevitably lead to great defeat.

However, Chu Yi nodded first, then shook his head and said, "The idea of ​​Tong Jianjun is indeed extremely stable. But if this happens, several large armies will inevitably take a long time to conquer. Chu wants to attack Huanglong and destroy Xixia in one battle."

As he said that, Chu Yi pressed his hand on the map that marked Xingqing Prefecture. Xingqing Prefecture is the capital of Xixia. If we really can invade Xingqing Prefecture, then the capital of Xixia is not far from falling.

If a country falls, then the country can be considered destroyed at least in form.

Tong Guan was slightly stunned, with a wry smile on his face. Compared to Chu Yi's domineering attitude, his previous thoughts were obviously too conservative.

I have to say that although Chu Yi's idea is very domineering, it is also very direct. If he can really invade Xingqing Mansion, it will naturally be much more convenient and effective than his suggestion of splitting troops into three groups.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Guan said to Chu Yi: "If this is the case, Tong suggested that the chief general go north from Qinzhou, take Yanzhou as the breakthrough point and enter Xiping Prefecture. After passing Xiping Prefecture, it will be Xingqing Prefecture, the heart of Xixia. If Xixia does not want to sit idly by and watch our army enter its capital, then Xixia will inevitably block it in Xiping Prefecture."

Chu Yi nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd, and immediately issued military orders one by one. A famous general who had received the military orders quickly left the mansion and headed straight for the military camp.

The army, which had been repaired for three days in Qinzhou, set sail again northward, and it took hundreds of miles to reach it in just a few days.

Just after Chu Yi made the decision to attack Huanglong and force Xixia to fight in Xiping Prefecture, the army headed towards Yanzhou without any concealing its movements.

The spies sent by the Xixia people could clearly infer that Chu Yi's target was Yanzhou through the marching route of Chu Yi's army.

In Xingqing Prefecture and the royal city, Li Qianshun and a group of Western Xia court officials discussed strategies to deal with the Song Dynasty. Some ministers shouted that the army in the country would teach the Song Dynasty a lesson, and some people also suggested to discuss peace with the Song Dynasty. Even if it was to cede several prefecture cities for this purpose, it would not be impossible to discuss.

After all, the court has become the pro-war faction and the pro-stakeholder faction, and even the fence-riding faction has no room for a foothold, so they can only choose between the two.

As the representative of the war-first faction, Crown Prince Li Renxiao was now arguing with the officials of the peace-first faction. According to the suggestions of the officials of the peace-first faction, Xixia could send envoys to the Song Dynasty to discuss peace with the Emperor of Song. As long as they surrendered to the Song Dynasty, even if they could cut off the king's title and ced the city of the prefecture, they would definitely impress the Emperor of Song.

Such suggestions were naturally exciting. Prince Li Renxiao pointed at the officials of the lords and slandered in the hall.

Li Ganshun, sitting in the first place, looked at the people on both sides in the dispute below. No matter how Li Ganshun didn't like the officials of the lords and lords, he looked at the important officials in the lords and lords. If he really wanted to get angry and put these people in the lords and lords, he would be afraid that the entire Xixia court would fall into a semi-paralyzed state the next day.

After coughing lightly, Li Ganshun glanced at the people below, and then said to the officials of the lords and sects: "The suggestion of Dong Qing's family is not unreasonable. Since this is the case, it is time for Dong Qing's family to lead the team to Bianliang and his party in person to meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty and win a glimmer of vitality for our Xixia."

As he said that, Li Ganshun slowly stood up and said to Dong He: "The fate of Xixia is in your hands. I hope that your family can make a century-long national destiny for me," he said.

Dong He stroked his beard and bowed to Li Ganshun when he heard this, saying, "I will accept the order and will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

The faces of the officials of the lords and sects were filled with joy, and they were obviously very satisfied with Li Ganshun's ability to adopt their suggestions.

However, the officials of the war-oriented sects all looked quite ugly. One of the generals said to Li Ganshun in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, when did I be afraid of the Song Dynasty? When I was the first to establish my country, I was constantly fighting with the Song Dynasty. Year after year, I have never suffered any major losses. This time, the Song Dynasty conquered me with the Xixia, I was afraid that it would be like the past, with a terrible end, and it would be lost in the end."

After saying this, the general clasped his fists and said, "Mr. General. Please ask Your Majesty to allow us to send troops. General. General. He is willing to use his head to guarantee that this battle will definitely kill the Song people."

Many officials of the pro-war faction immediately stood up and bowed and shouted: "Please think twice."

Li Ganshun glanced at the officials of the lords and sects, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and then slowly spoke: "I...I am approved, the prince will obey the order."

Then he saw Prince Li Renxiao get up and step forward and say, "The child is here."

Li Ganshun looked at Li Renxiao and said, "I have appointed you as the chief supervisor of Zhendong, supervising the military and horses of the country, and taking on the military affairs of the Song Dynasty."

Everyone present was not surprised that Li Ganshun handed over the military power to Li Renxiao. You must know that Li Ganshun's decree handed over all the military power of Xixia to the so-called general manager of Zhendong. In this case, except for the royal family, Li Ganshun would not dare to hand it over to anyone else.

Li Renxiao immediately said, "Children accept the order."

As for the officials of the lords and sects, they couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw Li Ganshun suddenly stood up and announced their retirement to the court, it was too late to say anything.

Some officials from the lords sent to stop Li Ganshun, but they were pulled by their companions.

On this side, the Master of the Western Xia sent officials to the Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty, while the Crown Prince Li Renxiao recruited troops across the country to prepare for war.

Xixia has been established for nearly a hundred years and has many soldiers and horses, especially this time, it can be said that the whole country is fighting, and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses have gathered in just a short time.

Of course, the number of soldiers and horses is indeed quite large, but among them, it is really good that there are 100,000 people.

In Ning County, Xiping Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in this Xia County, which had no reputation in the past. The news that Chu Yi led his army to Yanzhou had been discovered by Xixia a few days ago.

Li Renxiao led all the troops to Xiping Prefecture without hesitation. After some consideration, he finally chose the place for the decisive battle in Ning County.

The area of ​​Ning County is a plain in a radius of hundreds of miles, which can be said to be the most suitable for cavalry combat.

After all, he had been in stalemate with the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and he was very clear about the Song Dynasty's background. The Song Dynasty's infantry had strong combat power and the ability to defend the city was not bad. The cavalry was too bad, and it was simply unavailable.

However, Li Renxiao and others also knew that the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not lack war horses since then. However, war horses returned to war horses, but cavalry could not be able to do it with just war horses.

The Great Jin Dynasty was only one year after its destruction, and they didn't believe that the Song Dynasty could train a powerful cavalry in such a short time.

Therefore, Li Renxiao chose this plain to fight in this place of decisive battle, with the purpose of using the power of the Western Xia cavalry to give the Song Dynasty a blow.

The Xixia chain horses and Tiefutu are famous and are also the place where the Xixia people are proud of.

On this day, a team of people appeared outside the Western Xia army camp, and one of them rode out, and it was an envoy sent by Li Qianshun.

Li Renxiao left the camp and saw the envoy and learned that the envoy was to lead the way for the Tubo reinforcements. Li Renxiao was very happy.

You should know that as Chu Yi's troops got closer and closer to Yanzhou, Li Renxiao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Xixia alone was definitely not Chu Yi's opponent, so Li Renxiao had been praying that Tubo reinforcements could arrive as soon as possible.

Finally, I was looking forward to the moon and waiting for the reinforcements of the Tubo people.

Following the messenger, Li Renxiao saw from a distance that the person in charge was Jiumozhi, who went to Daxue Mountain to pay homage to the Buddha's master not long ago.

The Tubo king is the lord of a country, and it is obviously impossible for him to appear in Xixia, but he did not expect that the person who led reinforcements would be Jiumozhi.

Behind Jiumozhi is a team of people exuding a murderous aura. There are a large number of people, but not many. Judging from Li Renxiao's experience, this army is about 10,000.

Driven forward, Li Renxiao bowed to Jiumozhi and said, "Renxiao has met the national teacher. The national teacher has come from afar to help me in Xixia. Renxiao is very grateful."

Jiumozhi smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are polite. This time, I will lead the personal guards to join the grand ceremony with Xixia."

Li Renxiao looked behind Jiumozhi, but did not see the Buddha's figure. A look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Jiumozhi obviously noticed the change of Li Renxiao's expression and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you can rest assured. The Buddha's Lord has already gone down the mountain. When it is time to appear, it will definitely appear."

After hearing what Jiumozhi said, Li Renxiao felt relieved and said with a hint of joy: "Everything is ready, just wait for Chu Yi to come and die."

A few days later, the mighty army broke through Yancheng like a bamboo shoot, broke the barriers, and entered the Western Xia land.

If more than 100,000 troops were dispersed at this time, it would inevitably cause chaos to Xixia, but Chu Yi's goal was very clear, that was, one battle to determine the world.

The East Factory was able to grasp Chu Yi's marching route, and the changes in the Xixia country were also investigated clearly. Chu Yi was naturally satisfied with the Xixia Crown Prince Li Renxiao's army in Xiping Prefecture.

If Xixia hides and plays guerrilla warfare with him, to be honest, Chu Yi is not in the mood to make a little bit of strategy. Now that Li Renxiao cooperates to integrate the Xixia troops and fight him to decide the outcome, that would be the best.

After passing Yancheng, it was a flat land. However, the speed of the marching that had originally been marching forty or fifty miles a day suddenly decreased, but it was only marching for twenty or thirty miles a day.

In fact, Li Renxiao, Jiumozhi and others did not find it strange that the Song army's marching speed suddenly decreased. Obviously, the Song army was raising its energy in a slow marching. Otherwise, if they would march all the way, they would probably collapse before the battle could be fought.
