Zhang Feng looked at the position where Zhao Xu hit, which was the Xia army's camp.

Zhang Shi looked pondering.

According to custom, since the enemy retreats, they will win. There is no need to chase them and go deep into the enemy's hinterland. If you accidentally turn the battle, you may turn around and throw away the good situation.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "I have already sent a secret letter to you. I ordered him to fight at the right time and not allow the Xia army to retreat. Other armies, except for existing goals, will defeat me if they can!"

Zhang Shi still pondered.

Originally, Zhao Xu's plan was big enough. If he took away all the good places from the Xia people and drove them into the desert, the Xia people would definitely be crazy!

Zhao Xu looked calm. Seeing that Zhang Qing didn't say anything, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "That's it. In addition, my Song Dynasty's combat ideas must be changed, and I cannot be trapped. I must take the initiative to attack. The battlefield should not be within my Song Dynasty. This is written in the training manual, and all soldiers must remember it in their minds!"

Zhang Feng was actually planning the situation in his mind, thinking that Zhe Keshi was not a reckless person, so he felt a little relieved, so he raised his hand and said, "I, please follow the Hadith of Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, looked at Chen Pi, and said, "Transfer that Hedong Road has entered the first-level combat readiness, Qingtianwei, and Imperial City Office are closely watching the Liao people. Passing the message is the army? What is the point of the army in the Song Dynasty? They are all my hometown of the Song Dynasty, and you must not give in easily!"

"The villain received the order." Chen Pi said, "Go out quickly.

Zhang Qi stopped talking.

The battle has been fought so far? The victory of the Song Dynasty has been decided. Now it depends on the final result.

But war is not difficult to decide everything. After the battle is over? Is the focus of the struggle between the two sides? The final result is also determined after the struggle!

Zhao Xu stared at the map and knew in his heart that war was for politics. Even if Xixia was fought back? Negotiations were needed later? Only by finding a balance point can we stabilize the greatest outcome!

Zhao Xu thought in his mind that the post-war negotiations would depend on how painful it would be to fight Xixia with Zhe Keshi and others.

The Song Dynasty had already begun to consider after the war, the withdrawal of the Western Xia army would proceed as usual.

When it was midnight? Wei Ming Abang saw that the Song army had no abnormal movements and did not come to attack the camp? He was still disappointed and sighed softly: "What a pity."

The same is true for Meiledu. He said: "If the Song army attacked the camp and fell into our trap? This battle is not that ugly. The Song people? They are too cunning."

The Song people didn't come to the camp? The only chance of Xixia to get back any face was gone, so they could only withdraw their troops in such a shame.

"Let's go."

Wei Ming Ama was very decisive. He was worried that if he continued to waste, he would change.

Mei Ledu nodded and ordered the ambushing soldiers to be withdrawn, arrange for the rear to be cut off, and the army retreated in an orderly manner.

The ones who walked in the front were naturally Empress Dowager Liang, Li Qianshun, and a group of nobles from the Party and Xiang and their families.

Empress Dowager Liang sat in the carriage, holding her forehead with one hand, her face calmed down, and she was thinking about the aftermath.

Two defeats damage his prestige, and he must further control the ruling situation and consolidate her power.

He looked up at Li Qianshun beside him, and felt a little relieved when he saw him nodding and dozing off.

Wei Ming Ashan rode a horse and was guarding the side, with a very silent expression.

Daxia has never had such a crushing defeat before.

In the middle, there were wounded soldiers from Xixia, and the injured soldiers were of varying weight, reaching 60,000!

Many people shouted, and from time to time, someone was yelling, and someone was gone as they were lifted.

They could not take away the bodies, they could only find a place to bury them nearby.

Just a few miles away, dozens of people died.

The atmosphere of the Xia army was cold and sad in the middle of the night.

Weiming Abang and Meiledu rode on the road, speechless all the way.

On the side of the Song army, the spies who were staring at the Xia army camp came to report from time to time.

Zhe Keshi listened, stood up suddenly, and made a quick decision, saying, "Zhong Pu, you lead 5,000 people to the west, join Xihe Road, and take down Zhuola City! Wang En, you enter the Great Wall Ridge to support Zong Ze and Chu You. Then send a command from Zhong Jianzhong to accelerate activities near Youzhou, and support Chu You and others. Zhong Zhong, your cavalry, prepare me and follow me to attack."

"The last general will receive the order!"

The crowd could not wait long ago, and immediately responded in a deep voice.

With the order of Zhe Keshi, the 60,000 troops quickly divided into three routes, crossing the border of Song and Xia, each with its own goals.

Zhe Keshi took the Zong Shizhong to join Guo Cheng from Pingxia City and followed the Western Xia army directly.

The retreating army of Xixia was not in a hurry until dawn, and the speed was still neither fast nor slow.

Empress Dowager Liang sat in the carriage, as if tired, so she asked the army to stop and rest.

Weiming Abang and Meile Du stood in front of Queen Mother Liang, watching Queen Mother Liang and Li Ganshun have dinner.

Even at this time, Queen Mother Liang's meal was still exquisite, with eighteen dishes, with a strong aroma and a scent of wine.

Weiming Abang and Meile were not surprised at all, nor did they have any appetite.

After taking a few bites, Empress Dowager Liang lost her appetite. She glanced at the two of them and said indifferently: "I heard that the Song army is still disturbing everywhere?"

Mei Ledu said: "Song people have been carrying out the so-called 'shallow attack and disturbing farming since last year. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, they will soon withdraw their troops."

Wei Ming Abang, Wei Ming Ashan and others did not speak, Li Ganshun's expression was indifferent, as if he had not heard it, and he could not sit upright.

Queen Mother Liang nodded and then smiled and said, "Okay, if you go a hundred miles apart, it's not far from Xiping Prefecture. You can pause and hold a...a hunting banquet."

The so-called "hunting banquet" is usually held after a great victory. Queen Dowager Liang is making a fat man with a swollen face.

Li Ganshun glanced at her and said nothing more. He knew that Empress Dowager Liang wanted to take the opportunity to soothe the influence of defeat and reshape his authority.

Wei Ming Abang and Mei Le had no objection, and it was good to be able to calm the morale of the army. The two of them thought so.

So, after a short stop, the Xixia army continued to return north.

Xiping Prefecture is the gateway to Xingqing Prefecture. When they arrive near Xiping Prefecture, they will be safe.

The actions of the Xia army were under the surveillance of the Song army.

Zhe Keshi led his army to follow him and tried his best to hide.

At noon the next day, Zhe Keda came back from the front and whispered in Zhe Keshi's ear: "The Xia army is very slow, and it seems that they are not afraid of us chasing us. Even the people who have left behind have withdrawn."

Zhe Keshi was not surprised at all. He looked at the Zong Shizhong and said to his elder brother Zhe Kedao: "Continue to stare. They have just withdrawn their troops and will not be too relaxed."

"Yes." Zhe Keda responded and walked away quickly.

Zhe Keshi looked meditative and then said to Zhong Shizhong: "Your cavalry must be ready."

"Yes!" Compared to Zhong Jianzhong's dullness, Zhong Shizhong appears more calm and powerful.

Zhe Keshi looked up and said, "Continue to lie dormant and sneak."

So, the 20,000 Song troops led by Zhe Keshi continued to sneak in a low-key manner without showing any slightest.

The Xixia people were unaware of this. Another day later, Empress Dowager Liang seemed to have arrived at a good place and directly ordered the army to be stopped and prepare for a "hunting banquet".

There were 3,000 civil and military ministers and family members who followed the army in Xixia. At this moment, the family members smiled, and the civil and military ministers were relieved.
