Three hundred and twentieth eight chapters return to the Song Dynasty

"Does Seedheng have to break his promise and become fat?!" Li Quan said sternly.

Yang Chongyue smiled disdainfully when he saw Li Quan's expression, but he was very worried. He had less than 3,000 soldiers in his hand. He had originally been ambushed here, but he didn't expect that Li Quan was so smart that he could find him. It was too late to get on the horse and escape. He had to force himself to cheat. He just dragged some time to wait for the unintentional special forces to come back and rescue him.

"Supervisor Zhong misses the Major General very much. Thinking of the Major General's bravery, he may make things difficult for our army in the Jianing Military Office. Therefore, I will invite the Major General to stay in Guwuyan City for a few days in the future!" Yang Chongyue had a cold smile on his lips.

Li Quan really couldn't figure out Yang Chongyue on the opposite mound, because now, except for Yang Chongyue standing tall on the mound, no Song army showed his head, so he had no idea how many Song troops were ambushed behind the mound on the opposite mound. However, Li Quan quickly had no time to consider - a riot came from the team behind. Li Quan looked back and saw a team of murderous cavalry quickly running towards here - this was the Song army that had just attacked and caused huge trauma to them!

Li Quan looked back at the soldiers behind him and knew that today was the explanation here. The soldiers behind him showed panic expressions on their faces. These were the shadows left by the terrifying lethality of the cavalry just now. There was a surround in front and pursuers behind him. Li Quan lowered his head helplessly. He was not afraid of death alone. But the soldiers behind him could no longer bleed. Not to mention how many Song troops were ambushing in front, the terrifying cavalry behind would completely destroy his army.

"General Yang, I think that God has the virtue of living a life, and that everyone present is Han people. Please treat these soldiers with lenient treatment. Li is very grateful!" Li Quan said sadly.

Li Quan turned around and shouted loudly at the Poxi Army behind him: "I am incompetent to exhaust the three armies. You all have wives, children, and young people. The Song army has the opportunity to return to their relatives because of the Han people. Now I order the entire army to dismount and put down their weapons and surrender to the Song army!" After Li Quan said that, he drew his sword and committed suicide, so fast that even the generals of the Poxi Army who had already seen something wrong could not stop him.

Yang Chongyue looked at Li Quan's body that had fallen off the horse, and he did not feel mocking Li Quan again. Li Quan and he spent several months on this grassland. The army and army leadership styles of both sides had their own expertise, and they were all from famous generals. However, the confrontation between countries had to be in the battlefield. Now that Li Quan has reached this point, Yang Chongyue felt regretful. But that's all. If the two still had to face off, he would not be lenient. Now there is more important things to do, and he did not have any extra mood to regret Li Quan's untimely death.

"Dear soldiers of the Poxi Army. You are all Han people, but you are just wandering in Xixia. You will follow your last words and be lenient to your land!" Yang Chongyue shouted loudly. Now you must stabilize these Poxi Army, otherwise if they become a tragic soldier, although the entire army will be destroyed, but you will have to pay a heavy price. It is really not cost-effective to calculate the two sides. If you can do nothing, you will not fight. It is a serious matter to preserve your military strength and capture the Jianing Army.

The besieged Poxi Army did not rebel like Yang Chongyue at this time. It may be that the trauma caused them by Wuxin just now was too fierce, so that they had lost the will to resist. So after Li Quan died, they all turned over from their horses and threw their weapons aside. After seeing this, Yang Chongyue nodded with relief, waved his hand behind, and the Song army hidden behind the mound rode their horses over the mound. They surrounded more than 10,000 Poxi Army below and began to slowly gather the enemy's weapons.

At this time, Wuxin also rode his horse over, but when he saw Yang Chongyue commanding the Song army to gather the remaining troops, he knew that Li Quan had surrendered. He didn't have much feelings about Li Quan's death. Li Quan and he were enemies of the Song Dynasty, and no one could change it. The best enemy was the dead enemy. However, Li Quan died was also a troublesome thing. In the future, the Song army would not have this ace to force Li Qing to surrender. Maybe Li Qing fought to the death because of the loss of his son, so it would be difficult to deal with it.

Although Li Quan committed suicide, this was an accident after all. The Jianing Military Office could not give up and fight because of Li Quan's death. Zhong Yan and others decided to capture Li Quan alive when they made the plan to force Li Qing to subdue Li Qing, but now it is no longer possible. The only thing left is to take down the Jianing Military Office as soon as possible, otherwise they would wait for Li Qing to lead the army back and they had not taken down the city yet, so they would be in trouble.

After learning the specific situation, Zhong Yan immediately ordered the army to move forward quickly. The unintentional special forces were the first to reach the city of Jianing Army and set up secret sentries beside the only two city gates of the city to monitor whether there were any cavalry out of the city. According to the plan, Wang Shun would mobilize 20,000 cavalry out of the city to ambush the Song army to reduce the pressure on the city defense. This arrangement is extremely reasonable. The difference between the Poxi Army and the orthodox Dangxiang Army is very small. They are not very good at defending the city. Facing the Song army, who is most accomplished in siege, it is better to take advantage of the city before the city is completely surrounded and ambushed. When the Song army sieges the city, they will take the opportunity to give the Song army a fatal blow. Even if the Song army cannot solve the difficulty of the Song army siege, they can slow down the pressure on the siege and make them stand firm until Li Qing returns to help.

In the evening, the camp of the Jianing Army Division was still brightly lit, and a small school knelt in the camp. "The two generals Chen and Li led their troops to exchange for the last time, but the Song army was betrayed and set up an ambush eighty miles from here when the two generals and the major general returned to the city. The initial period of the ambush was very heavy, but the Song army still left another ambush on the spot, but the major general discovered it in time. However, the Song army, who had previously attacked us, turned back. Seeing that there were ambushes in front and pursuers behind, the major general... he committed suicide to thank the general for the conditions for the other brothers to be lenient by the Song army!"

Wang Shun sat in the main seat, listening to the report of the school below with his expression unchanged. The soldier was sent back to communicate with Zhong Yan. The progress of the matter was very smooth at the beginning. Except for Li Quan's suicide, which surprised all the people in the land. Wang Shun was also a little touched. Now Wang Shun knew that he and Zhong Yan had no way out and had to take down the Jianing Military Office as soon as possible. Now Li Qing should already know the situation of the Jianing Military Office. In order to deal with the fatal blow of the Song army, he would definitely drop the elite troops fighting on the Western Front. In addition to the necessary left-behind troops, Li Qing's army would definitely exceed 60,000. When Li Qing was angry, Zhong Yan would definitely not be the opponent - these 60,000 troops were likely to be the only army retained by the genuine Poxi Army. This is also the only elite troops that can be counted in the Western Xia side. They are the killing stars on the grassland!

However, what made Wang Shun feel more comforting was that in one fell swoop, Zhong Yan and others left all the 20,000 cavalrymen who left the city to meet Li Quan in one fell swoop. Calculated the family of the Jianing Military Office, which was only more than 40,000 defenders, it would be insufficient to defend the city with these 40,000 troops. If he could successfully convince the defenders here, he would then hang out of the city and introduce them into the ambush circle agreed upon by him and Zhong Yan in advance, it would be relatively easy to capture the Jianing Military Office with Zhong Yan's existing strength. What's more, his super insider came to make trouble and rush to capture the Jianing Military Office before Li Qing rescued. The problem should not be very big.

In the suburbs of Kaifeng, Bian Capital, Jingyuan.

The land of Jingyuan, only two miles away from Huaying Academy in Biandu, was bought by Wang Jinghui and the Huaying Academy in Biandu. The rich men of Biandu are all used to building luxury land. Although Wang Jinghui, who is the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty and the richest mansion in the world, did not care about this. However, Xu, who is also a collaborator, cannot let the son-in-law be so casual, so he selected land in the suburbs of Biandu, and finally fell in love with it and built a garden house here.

Mr. Xu, who knew the habits of the prince-consort, did not decorate the house in a grand manner as ordinary rich people, but the funds spent on ordinary lands actually reached hundreds of thousands of yuan. Xu invited gardeners from all over the country. After setting a tone, he fully funded the construction of the garden. All materials were not priced and only wanted the final effect to match the identity of the prince-consort. Later, the merchants of Chuzhou and Hangzhou learned that Xu built the garden for the prince-consort. They also searched everywhere with great effort, either to send talents who were proficient in gardening, or to send good construction materials or strange flowers and trees. It took a total of five years to build it.

More than 100 acres of land were built into ponds, and strange woods and stones were planted around the pond, which was known as "Jingyuan". The gardening of Jingyuan is amazing. Wang Jinghui was a little dissatisfied with this practice of building a garden without any money, but after visiting the entire garden, he praised it. When Su Shi and his brothers and Wang Jinghui's friends were even more stunned after visiting Jingyuan, Su Shi wrote lyrics and poems. Jingyuan was therefore known as "the capital of the garden and the capital" and became a famous scenic spot in Bianjing. He cherished his son-in-law and guarded himself. There were only a few people who had been to Jingyuan. Many celebrities from Bian Capital were looking forward to it and were proud to be able to see the scenic scenery of Jingyuan.

Wang Jinghui and his wife Zhao Qianyu entered Jingyuan, which had just been completed for a few months ago. In fact, living there was the same for Wang Jinghui. In his eyes, the Prince Consort's Mansion was already very huge... a very huge courtyard, which was unimaginable for a later generation, but after seeing Jingyuan, Wang Jinghui was almost stunned.

It was midsummer at this time, and the most important thing for Wang Jinghui to come here was to help his wife recuperate here. - There is a residence near Jingyuan Pond in Jingyuan, called Qingliang Pavilion, which is completely suspended above Jingyuan Pond. After the clever design of Wang Jinghui and their disciples, the water in the Jingyuan Pond was automatically extracted with hydraulic power. By laying the pipes between the floors and walls of the Qingliang Pavilion in advance to achieve the purpose of cooling. This is also the most primitive "air conditioner" that Wang Jinghui could think of.

In the Tang Dynasty, water was directed to the palace through a water truck to water it to achieve the purpose of cooling and relieving heat. However, the sound of water was too noisy, which was not conducive to Qian Yu's rest and waiting for birth. Wang Jinghui came up with such a way to reduce the temperature and keep it quiet. In addition, the ice cubes stored in the ice cellar in the garden were really as comfortable as the clear state in the mythology and legend.

Wang Jinghui was sitting in Qingliang Pavilion at this time, examining the battle report in his hand - on the fourth day of the sixth month, Li Quan was unwilling to be captured and committed suicide. He surrendered all over 13,000 Poxi troops; on the sixth day of the sixth month, he set up an ambush with the Jianing Army Division 50 miles, killing 8,000 enemies and capturing more than 10,000 prisoners; on the seventh day of the sixth month, the special forces took advantage of the front attack on the south gate and climbed the city wall on the back. After the strong battle, the northern gate was opened. Wang Shun, the general of the Tielin Army of the Pakxi Army, saw that things were not allowed to violate the whole army and surrender, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and successfully captured the Jianing Army Division!... On the tenth day of the sixth month, the special forces were successfully ambushed Li Qing's reinforcements twice in Zuocunze, Liuboling, and then 40,000 cavalry generals Li Qing's remnants were surrounded 30 miles east of Liuboling. Governor Li Qing should not lead the remaining troops to surrender to the Song Dynasty!

On May 20th, I conquered Bole City; on the first day of June, I succeeded in the attack on the Jingsai Army; on the second day of June, I forced a submission to Mingsha! On June 15th, I led my troops to 10,000 troops across the Niuling Kexi Shoubaotai Army! In the past month, I killed 40,000 enemies and captured more than 30,000!

Wang Jinghui sighed, clamped the information with a cardboard clip, and then opened another information, which was sent by Guan Liang's Northwest Intelligence Network earlier - after seeing it by his disciples, Wang Shun, a general of the Tielin Army, one of the headquarters of the Poxi Army, was actually his junior brother Bingfeng, and he recognized his disciple in Guwuyan City!

The Northwest War Report in the front was sent by Emperor Zhao Xu to Jingyuan to hand it over to him for review. The two Northwest War Reports were from Zhong Yan and Wang Shao respectively. The latter piece of intelligence was personally instructed by his disciples to send the information system to the Prince Consort's Mansion, and there was also an intelligence that was not recognized. Eight days after Li Qing surrendered to the Song Dynasty, a letter filled with various messy patterns was also transmitted to Jingyuan through the Northwest Intelligence System. After Yansheng's translation, it was - Li Qing had already drunk poisoned wine and would return to heaven within 40 days. The disciple was frozen!

Wang Jinghui took the "Complete Map of Western Xia" from the bookshelf, opened the scroll and looked at it for a long time, and marked the place names mentioned in the battle report on the map with a pen. Looking at this simple map of Western Xia, you can clearly see that the two iron clamps of Zhong Yan and Wang Shaoru clamped each other from the east and south of Xingqing Prefecture. As long as there is little military knowledge and knowledge, you can clearly draw a conclusion - the Li Dynasty of the Western Xia, which has been established for decades and started its rebellion, has died. The day of its destruction is about to come!

However, there are not many people who know that the news of Xixia is no longer possible. This news has not spread. Even if it spreads, no one believes it. The north of the Song Dynasty is suffering from droughts that have not been encountered in decades, and there are also local locust plagues. The court is working hard to rescue the disaster, and the treasury allocation is also tilting towards this. Who can believe that the Song Dynasty has made such a big noise in the northwest at this time. The Xixia regime has become a dangerous egg, and can be destroyed with just a touch of light?!

However, Emperor Zhao Xu, the Central Secretariat Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council and other senior officials of the Song Dynasty were shocked by this news. Even the Duke of Wei, who was in charge of disaster relief and defense in Hebei, was secretly summoned by Emperor Zhao Xu to Beijing overnight. It is already early August. A few days ago, news had been heard from Xixia that the envoys of Xixia had arrived in Baichi City and were heading towards Bian Capital. It is estimated that they were about to go to Yan'an Prefecture to meet Fu Bi who was in charge of the northwest. If Wang Jinghui was probably good, Fu Bi had received a secret order to ask him to return to Beijing, but it was delayed by the sudden dispatch of envoys in Xixia. But Fu Bi's entry into Beijing was a foregone conclusion - every time when the national crisis was at the critical moment, especially when it was involved in the Liao and Xixia, the first person that Emperor Zhao Xu thought of was definitely not Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but Fu Bi Han Qi!

Wang Jinghui chose all these things, but when he saw the roll of yellow silk on the table, he kept shaking his head - Emperor Zhao Xu also issued an order to his son-in-law, and the person who issued the order was quite good - Zeng Gongliang, one of the ministers of the Song Dynasty, came to Jingyuan to send him an imperial edict. At this moment, Emperor Zhao Xu did not forget him, the son-in-law. According to the content revealed by Zeng Gongliang, Wang Jinghui's recent mission was to wait for the Western Xia envoy on the way in Biandu. Of course, this Western Xia envoy was also his old acquaintance - Aliti, the envoy of the Queen Mother of the Western Xia Liang!

The progress of the war in the northwest was beyond Wang Jinghui's expectations. There were many variables. In the past ten months, the initial strategic concept was overturned and reset again and again. Fu Bi, Zhong Yan, Yang Chongyue, Wang Shao and others in the northwest were also good at seizing various opportunities. Under the banner of destroying Xia, various "Confucian and Taoist" ideas were trampled on by them unscrupulously. Fortunately, the person who controlled the northwest was Fu Bi, otherwise Sima Guang would not have been so optimistic. Even as the original progress of history, Sima Guang defeated and was demoted to Luoyang in the early years of Xining. If there was such a person by Fu Bi, today's ending would be two.

In fact, not only Emperor Zhao Xu thought about Wang Jinghui, but also the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall always believed that it was most appropriate to let the prince consort come out to deal with Aliti. After all, when the last time he negotiated with Aliti, this old man left a deep impression on the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, and only Wang Jinghui could control him.
