Yang Ding's servility and the rewards from the Song Dynasty to Yang Ding made the Prime Minister Liang Yi of the Western Xia Kingdom feel much more at ease. Although Han Qi first came to Shaanxi Fourth Route to serve as the Xuanfu envoy, he also brought the court's ban on provoking the border generals, looking at Yang Ding's current treatment, we can see that the soldiers in the northwest of the Song Dynasty did not take this ban to heart.

In the past, Liang Yi would not have hoped that the border generals of the Song Dynasty would be unruly to cause trouble for Xixia, but now they are very welcome to their opponents' performance, which shows that even if there are ministers like Han Qi, Duke of the Wei State of the Song Dynasty, were in charge of the fourth road of Shaanxi opposite. In his opinion, the current Song Dynasty ministers were like flies tasted blood, and rushed over when they saw the benefits, and just fell into his ambush. If the security guards were successfully captured in this battle, they could not only use this as a base to disturb the northwest of the Song Dynasty, but also use this as a means to force the Song Dynasty to restore annual tribute, which would also consolidate their position in Xixia.

Liang Yimeng, who was imagining in the residence of the Prime Minister of Xingqing Prefecture, was excited by the glory and benefits brought by the victory of the Song army. Thinking of the glory of the future, Liang Yimeng was even more impatient and summoned his confidants to discuss matters at the Prime Minister's Office. Among these confidants, Liang Gewei was the number one general in his hands. Liang Gewei was the son and nephew of Liang Yimeng. In order to control the overall situation of the Western Xia, Liang Yimeng brothers and sisters appointed a large number of members of the Liang family to control important positions in the Western Xia. The army was naturally the top priority in maintaining their rule. Liang Gewei can be said to be the direct lineage of the Liang brothers and sisters.

The day after the meeting of the Prime Minister's Office, Liang Gewei returned to his defense zone. This was the garrison of the most elite Huwei Army in Xixia. He was still very satisfied with the saying that it was the first elite army in Xixia. However, everyone, including himself, knew the Poxi Army of Han general Li Qing. Thinking of Li Qing and his Poxi Army, Liang Gewei felt a little excited. The Poxi Army was very powerful, and the army was also equipped with a small bed crossbow dragged by horses. Although it cannot be compared with the City Crossbow, this simplified version of the bed crossbow weapon in the field was simply a nightmare for the infantry and cavalry army. Poxi Army was truly invincible.

Although Li Qing was a Han Chinese, he was strict in his military management. Under his first remediation, the combat effectiveness of the Poxi Army was the number one in Xixia. The most terrible thing was that the Poxi Army was very loyal to Li Qing. The whole army regarded Li Qing as his parents and could not get in. In the past, when Emperor Liangzuo was still alive, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the emperor's personal army were naturally greater than that of the Poxi Army. However, three years ago, the Battle of Dashun City was defeated by all the Song people. Except for a few who returned to Xixia, they were all annihilated or captured by the Song people and captured them and were arrested to build roads. At least now, the so-called elite troops in Xixia were immediately turned into ugly ducklings when compared with Li Qing's Poxi Army.

With the support of the Poxi Army, Li Qing had a very high status in Xixia. Before Li Qing had made his fortune, he was highly valued by the Xia Lord Liangzuo. He coached the military aircraft and formed the Poxi Army. Such a crucial figure was extremely eye-catching in the struggle between the post faction and the royal family in recent years. Both sides wanted to win Li Qing into his camp. However, although Li Qing was favored by the Xia Lord Liangzuo, he was a Han man and a Han man who was well-read in poetry and books. He had a very strong defense of the Chinese and barbarians. He adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards the power struggle within the Xixia, and no one was allowed to intervene. Moreover, after the 100,000 garrison troops around Xingqing Prefecture were defeated in Dashun City, the Poxi Army should replace the role of the Proxi Army, but he wrote to the Liang brothers and sisters to transfer the Poxi Army to Xiangqing Army to garrison.

Faced with Li Qing's failure to enter the country, neither faction had any better way, so he had to let him go. However, no Xixia person, including the Liang family, who now holds great power, dared not anger Li Qing. Li Qing and his Dipoxi Army were also in a transcendent position in Xixia. As a Han general, a Han army led a Han army to have such a status in Xixia, which really made the Dangxiang people very depressed.

Liang Gewei also knew that Liang Yi buried his brother and sister and asked him to take the main force in seizing security this time, so that he could establish martial arts for the Liang family. If Li Qing's Poxi Army was still the guardian of Xixia, not only would the national prime minister Liang Yi look bad, but the Poxi Army and Li Qing could not find any power in Xixia in the future to limit their territory. It would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no abnormal changes. In this case, Li Qing and Poxi Army became the sword hanging over the top leaders of every Xixia rule, which would not be acceptable to anyone who would be the Xixia family.

Although Liang Gewei looked down on the Song army on the surface, he believed that the Song army could only be slaughtered in front of his cavalry, he also knew that this capture of security was of great importance and could not be misunderstood. Prime Minister Liang Yimeng had repeatedly told him that he must take down the Baoan City and open the passage for the Western Xia to march into the Song Dynasty. Although Liang Gewei was a warrior, he also knew that the opposite side was Han Qi, the Duke of Wei of the Song Dynasty, who was in Shaanxi, who was very troubled by the Liao Kingdom.

This is a name that made Liang Yimao frightened. Yesterday, Liang Gewei was still amused by the Prime Minister's concern for such a Han opponent. However, after the Kuomintang himself told Han Qi's deeds, he was also secretly frightened. However, Liang Yimao also told him very optimistically that at least the Song Dynasty has no achievements yet. Xixia should take advantage of Han Qi's foothold and seize security. Only in this way can the impact of Han Qi be reduced.

Liang Gewei knew that this time, the Prime Minister had really invested a lot. Not only did he lead 50,000 troops in the headquarters, but he also transferred 30,000 "Captaining the Life Army" as assistance. The "Captaining the Life Army" is also famous in Western Xia, with a scale of more than 100,000 people. It was named after capturing the enemy army as slaves in the war. However, this army was indeed a powerful brigade in Western Xia in history, and its main task was to undertake tough attacks and mobile combat. Three years ago, the captured life army was the one who went to war with Liangzuo, but it ended up being wiped out by the entire army. In recent years, in order to fight against the royal family, Liang Yi buried his brother and sister and disagreed with the opposition, spent huge sums of money to rebuild the life army, and also incorporated the Proton Army into it as a skeleton.

The "Proton Army" has about 5,000 people. It is a garrison unit composed of the children of the rich and well-known cavalry to select a garrison team to protect the emperor's safety. It is known as the "Six Squads in the Imperial Siege" and is divided into three guards. In order to split the royal power, Liang Yi used the already damaged proton army to select their elite troops to enter the life-capturing army, but the proton army did not have the tendency of the elite troops in the past.

Due to the urgency of time, Liang Gewei had to enter the battle assembly site before Song Xia's meeting on returning the border households, so the 80,000 troops did not work hard on logistics at all. He just prepared for a while and set off on the road. The 80,000 troops led by Liang Gewei were all cavalrymen, and they had to hurry to Hongzhou, where the meeting was held, where there was an infantry army of more than 20,000 people and equipment for siege.

According to the spies from Xixia in the Song Dynasty, important cities such as Shunning Village, Baoan City, Jintang City and Dejing Village in the Baoan Army have not changed much in the past. The years of war invasion of the Song Dynasty have made the Xixia soldiers very clear about the terrain of this area and there is no need for guidance. As long as they arrive in Hongzhou, the rest will be much easier.

Liang Gewei saw his army galloping past the wasteland. He was full of confidence. In his opinion, the 100,000 troops were slaughtering the small security army. However, although he was slaughtering a slaughter, he was still very nervous - the sword-holder - the Prime Minister Liang Yi buried in the Jianing Military Office not far from Hongzhou!

This is a very strange army, with only more than 2,000 people, but everyone's face can easily read the word "strong". This miniature army is twenty miles behind Liang Gewei's army. It is followed by Liang Gewei's army slowly. There are five or six horse-drawn carriages of the same style in the center of this army. From the decoration of the carriage, it can be seen that the owner of the carriage is extremely noble. Liang Yi, the prime minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, sat upright in one of the carriages.

Liang Yimeng couldn't help but run out to take a look. In his opinion, it was worth it to ask him to take charge of this battle to seize security. However, the opponent was Han Qi, the famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, which made him feel itchy. However, the persuasion of the staff at the left and right decided to follow Liang Gewei's army to the Jianing Military Office, which bordered the Song Dynasty.

In history, it was almost common for the king of Xixia to personally commanding the battle. From Li Yuanhao to Liangzuo, who died in the battle at Dashun City, every generation of Xixia emperors had fought on the battlefield. The same tradition as the Liao Kingdom was built by martial arts. Although Liang Yimang was not the emperor of Xixia, his power was no different from that of the emperor. Although the Dangxiang people established the Western Xia Dynasty, to put it bluntly, they were still a semi-slave and semi-feudal social system. They were essentially nomadic peoples and advocated heroes on horseback. Liang Yimang personally visited the Jianing Army to supervise the battle out of this mentality. But of course he would not really stand on the front line and fight with soldiers like Emperor Liangzuo. Even his departure from Xingqing Mansion was very secret. He wanted to wait for Liang Gewei to capture Bao'an City and stand openly on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

While the Dangxiang people were busy preparing to capture the security guards, the Northwest military and political officials led by Han Qi were not idle, and were also actively deploying the upcoming war. It was also very interesting to say: Liang Yimeng was in charge of the Jianing Military Office and Han Qi were in charge of Yan'an Prefecture, and the locations of the two were almost equal to the Baoan City. However, Han Qi did not know that Liang Yimeng actually ran to the Jianing Military Office to supervise the battle. Liang Yimeng also did not know that Han Qi had prepared a big trap for him to break through. Both sides felt that they were plotting against each other. Generally, Han Qi was slightly better, but he did not know that the Dangxiang people looked down on him this time, and actually mobilized 100,000 combat troops to join the security army. Once the situation was opened, more Western Xia cavalry would rush into the security army unscrupulously.

Until now, through the information feedback from the "monks" in Xixia, Han Qi has been very sure that the Dangxiang people will take action on his land. Although he knows that the security army is most likely to be attacked, the security army can be seen on the map as a bottle with a small mouth and a big belly. If the Dangxiang people want to gain a foothold in the security army, they will only enter and exit from this narrow bottle entrance bordering Xixia. Maybe even the Song army will be broken when they go home. Therefore, the attacked location will definitely not be the only place of the security army. The Dingbian Army, Qingzhou, and Yan'an Prefecture next to the security army, will definitely be attacked.

Han Qi and his generals were very troubled by how to mobilize troops to join the preset ambush battlefield quietly. The Fourth Road in Shaanxi not only lived in a large number of Han people, but also many other ethnic minorities also lived here, forming small gathering areas. They either surrendered to the Song Dynasty or depended on the Western Xia, and the Dangxiang people relied on these ethnic minorities to steal the information of the Song army. In such a large environment, they wanted to mobilize a large number of troops to gather without being discovered by the enemy, which really made Han Qi and the others lose a lot of hair.

Fortunately, after Zhong Yan lured surrendered to Suizhou, Han Qi strengthened the city defense force of important cities on the front line as soon as he arrived in Shaanxi, and arranged a large number of firearms and large city-guarding crossbows. Even with the existing fortifications, he could withstand the harassment of Xixia. However, at this time, Han Qi had received unusual large-scale mobilizations within the Xixia military from the "monk". Not only did he set up an ambush in the Xixia enemy to increase troops, but even these important military cities in the original place must be strengthened.

The least noticeable thing is the transport of firearms. This thing can be escorted by a small number of troops. A car of firearms may not be as lethal as large city-guarded bed crossbows, but their lethality on the cavalry ground is not possessed by bed crossbows.

"Han Shuai. The defense of various important military centers of our side bordering Xixia, such as Shentang Fort, Jiuyang Fort, Huaiwei Fort, Shengqiang Fort, Tumen, Jintang City, Pingrong Village, Shunning Village, Weiqiang Village, etc., has basically been completed. Firearms and bed crossbows have been deployed, and the city defense has been strengthened. In the forest land thirty miles outside Shunning Village, Jintang City and Baoan City, we have arranged a heavy infantry and a cavalry of about 2,000 people, with a total of 40,000 people in these three vassals. Once the war begins, the three heavy infantry will take the lead in entering the city to be responsible for defense, and the cavalry will roam around the surrounding areas and wait for an opportunity to move!"

"Well! Have you ever added crossbows to these heavy infantry phalanxes?" Han Qi asked in detail.

"Return to Han Zheng, these heavy infantrymen were drawn from the Tianlong Army of Biandu in the later period. Before leaving, the Privy Council and the Third Yasi were equipped with small crossbows similar to the Xixia Poxi Army, which were pulled with horses, according to the advice of the prince-consort. Moreover, the soldiers and archers were equipped with many crossbows that could fire ten arrows in a row!"

"Oh?" Han Qi turned around and looked at the person who replied just now. Only then did he notice that although the person who replied was wearing a cloth clothes, his body was clean and neat, and he showed a gentle demeanor all over his body, and he was full of talent.

"Meet Han Shuai! My husband asked me to say hello to Han Shuai!" The young man smiled and bowed to Han Qi, took out a paper bag from his arms, presented it to Han Qi with both hands and said, "Han Shuai, I am the son-in-law's book Tong Luoxin. I have visited Han Shuai with my son-in-law before. This is what my family gave to Han Shuai first!"

Han Qi took the paper seal bag. There was a letter and a small porcelain bottle inside. He opened Wang Jinghui's letter, and after reading the letter, he looked at the young man named Luo Xin in front of him. He knew that Wang Jinghui's book boy was not only him, but many powerful people in Biandu knew that beside the prince consort, there were twelve book boys with their own companions.

It turned out that these book children were just orphans who lived on the streets by begging, but after Wang Jinghui's careful training, they all mastered different skills, were well-educated and well-behaved. With them by their side, the celebrities in Biandu were envious. Some even publicly claimed to use ten thousand gold to buy the book children of the son-in-law.

Of course, Han Qi would not come to buy Wang Jinghui's book boy like that stupid guy. At least he knew that the pig head was secretly cured by Wang Jinghui and got out of Biandu in shame. Although he did not think that he was being fooled by the prince-consort, it did not mean that his descendants could be as good as him.

Han Qi knew the details of these twelve book children. When one of their girls fell ill, Wang Jinghui took action to save her. He felt that this kindness was due to the twelve children. Since then, these twelve children have followed the prince consort day and night. He has seen this Luo Xin before, and his best skills are medical skills. Although he is not shown in the Xinglin, he is now famous in the civilian clinics all over the world and Hu Quanhan will call him "junior brother" when he sees Luo Xin. Among the twelve children, the only one who can inherit the prince consort's medical skills is Luo Xin and the girl Hongyue, who Wang Jinghui saved back then.

The letters Wang Jinghui gave him were very simple, just greetings, and the porcelain bottle was also a pill prepared by the prince-consort himself. Han Qi was old and suffered a lot of illnesses in this life. It was difficult to find a famous doctor in the northwest, a place where he fought for many years. Wang Jinghui, the adopted son, had not forgotten him at this time, which made him feel relieved.

"This time, I was sent down to the northwest. I was mainly afraid that Han Shuai's body would not be able to adapt to the environment here, so I asked Han Shuai to take care of him from the side. The teacher said that he would go to the court and not be able to be filial to Han Shuai every night, so I let his disciples accept his efforts!" Luo Xin said from the side.

Han Qi laughed and said, "I appreciate the desire to change it. It is rare that he still has this filial piety. Just stay in my camp!"
