The battle outside Tong'an City lasted for more than three hours.

The killing lasted from dusk until late at night.

When Liu Fa's front army, rear army, and left army were fiercely attacked by the Xixia army, reinforcements from the Qi army arrived.

His Royal Highness King Yun personally led the cavalry to rush into the Xixia elite who were fighting with Liu Fa's rear army. He raised his spear and jumped on his horse, stabbing several cavalry officers in succession.

Under the attack from the front and rear, the elite cavalry of Xixia were defeated, and all two thousand iron kites were killed in the battle.

At the same time, the army led by King Chage of Jin was in a stalemate with Liu Fa's former army, and was intercepted and killed by the army led by Zhong Pingyuan. After a melee, the formation was in chaos and collapsed.

King Cha Ge of the Jin Dynasty broke out with his troops, and His Royal Highness King Yun, Zhong Pingyuan and Liu Fa pursued and killed him, marching for seventy miles.

The two sides fought fiercely in a canyon. The Xixia army was cornered and forced to fall off a cliff, with countless casualties.

Chage, the king of Jin, was trapped in a tight siege. In order not to be captured alive, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Outside Tong'an City, the elite Xixia army was wiped out in one battle.

…

Fan Cun rode into Tong'an City panting on his war horse.

It has to be said that His Royal Highness Prince Yun still needs to strengthen his physical fitness.

He was not even as good as the soldier Fan Cun had possessed casually before. This gap made him feel a little disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to have a hearty killing this time and fight three hundred rounds with Xixia's elite cavalry. However, he had just picked six or seven people with his superb riding skills and marksmanship, and he was already exhausted.

Later, basically everyone was watching the performance of these generals of the Western Army.

Fortunately, the battle was won, and it was fought beautifully.

At this time, the army entered Tong'an City again, and the meaning was completely different.

Liu Fa was forced to garrison Tong'an City before, and the surrounding situation was still unclear. The Xixia army was still lurking in the dark. Once defeated, they would fall into a situation that would never be recovered.

But now, the main force of the Xixia people led by King Cha Ge of Jin was defeated by outflanking. Cha Ge was also defeated and died, and his head was sent to Fan Cun.

This also means that Xixia no longer has many soldiers to fight.

As long as the army presses forward, the destruction of Xixia is just around the corner.

After various troops were stationed in Tong'an City, Fan Cun could clearly feel that Liu Fa, Zhong Pingyuan and other generals had obvious changes in their expressions.

Especially Liu Fa looked at him with gratitude and reverence.

If His Highness Prince Yun had not forcibly suppressed Tong Daofu, then it would have been him who fell off the cliff and died in defeat.

More importantly, once Liu Fa's troops were destroyed, the Qi Dynasty's goal of conquering Xixia would naturally come to nothing.

As for these generals, His Royal Highness King Yun not only had excellent strategic vision, but was also quite accomplished in the tactics of cavalry command. He even went into battle himself and overturned several elite Xixia cavalry.

This scene left a very deep impression on the generals.

The number one scholar in Wen Neng High School, the Wu Neng Formation killed the enemy general...

What the hell is this?

Suddenly, everyone's view of the third prince has undergone earth-shaking changes. They even have some doubts about whether this person is the reincarnation of someone.

As for Fan Cun's lack of physical strength, which Fan Cun had always cared about, these generals did not notice it at all.

After all, as a young prince, it is incredible to be able to ride a horse into battle, and to stab several Xixia elite cavalry to death in succession? This is beyond the scope of cheating.

"The army is ordered to rest for three days.

"Three days later, capture Xingqing Mansion and capture Li Qianshun alive!"

Although His Highness King Yun was not the highest officer at this time, when he issued orders, it was so natural that no generals raised any questions, and they were carried out naturally, as if they had always obeyed His Highness King Yun's orders.

As for the Tong Daofu, after receiving the military report, he felt that it would take two days to unify An City.

…

"I want to kill this Tong Daofu, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Fan Cun asked the shadow of Taizu Sheng in front of him again.

After this great victory, the system should have judged that Fan Cun had greatly advanced the progress of the entire copy, so he gained a lot of energy and was able to retain Sheng Taizu as more opportunities for off-site assistance.

When Fan was commanding the cavalry in battle, he briefly used Sheng Taizu's off-site guidance. Although it was very costly, judging from the results, it was indeed worth it.

There were a lot of trophies captured in this battle, especially the iron kite armor, which was enough to arm a heavy cavalry.

It can be said that Fan Cun made the right bet. This battle allowed him to establish an extremely huge reputation among the generals of the Western Army.

Therefore, his mind naturally began to become more active.

With Tong Daofu around, he always felt that everything was in his way, so with recklessness as his main characteristic, he naturally had murderous intentions.

What's more, judging from the bad things Tong Daofu did in history... it wouldn't be unjust to kill him, right?

However, Sheng Taizu shook his head: "Tong Daofu can naturally be killed, but killing him at this time is useless.

"First of all, this person does not have to be killed. There are many other ways to make him surrender.

"Secondly, killing Tong Daofu at this time will cause too much trouble. After all, you are not the emperor or the prince at this time, but just a prince. In other words, even if you want to kill someone by force, the first target you want to kill is, It shouldn’t be someone like Tong Daosuke.”

Fan Cun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what Taizu Sheng said was right.

The solution he thought of before was actually very simple. It was nothing more than finding a way to get rid of Tong Daofu during the process of destroying Xixia.

Just hearing what Taizu Sheng said, Fan Cun also understood that this method was indeed too risky.

After all, Tong Daofu was an important minister in the court at this time. Even if it could be disguised as an accident, the others were not three-year-old children, so how could they not be suspicious.

What's more, he did not fully control the Western Army at this time, so it was almost impossible to handle this matter seamlessly.

Killing Tong Daofu would not only be difficult to explain to the court, but most importantly, what would his brother, the crown prince, think.

For Fan Cun, who was still King Yun at this time, this would greatly increase the difficulty in the future.

Fan Cun nodded: "I understand. When I see Tong Daofu again, I will try your Majesty's method."

…

Two days later, Tong Daofu came to Tong'an City.

At this time, his face seemed to become even more ugly.

The military report of the previous victory in Tong'an City has been handed over to him.

After this battle, it can be said that capturing Xixia is a high probability event.

But the biggest problem is that not only did this achievement have nothing to do with him, but he almost turned the victory into a disastrous defeat because of his blind command.

This made Tong Daofu, the highest military commander in the northwest, a little embarrassed.

More importantly, how should we face His Highness King Yun at this time?

King Yun had previously ridiculed him as a "child's art of war". Tong Daofu said angrily, "If you can do it, you can do it." In the end, King Yun really did it, and he was really good at it...

It is said that His Royal Highness King Yun led an elite cavalry force to fight against the Xixia Army's heavy armored cavalry, Iron Kites, and even personally overturned several cavalrymen.

After this battle, everyone in the Western Army was convinced.

Even veteran generals like Zhong Pingyuan obeyed King Yun's advice, and Liu Fa regarded King Yun as his savior and wanted to go through fire and water.

Tong Daofu vaguely felt that he seemed to have a tendency to be ignored.

What's worse is that King Yun's identity is too special. Tong Daofu could have used various tactics to control these low-status and upright-minded generals, but facing King Yun, this method could not work.

.

Therefore, when King Yun said that he wanted to talk to him in private, Tong Daofu was full of vigilance, because at this time, he really couldn't figure out what His Highness King Yun was going to do.

…

"Tong Taiwei, during the battle to unify Ancheng, you, I, and the generals of the Western Army all know the inside story.

"This great victory means that the unparalleled achievement of capturing Xingqing Mansion and annihilating Xixia is close at hand.

"I know that, Lieutenant Tong, you want to leave your name in history, so why not make a deal with me?"

His Highness Prince Yun's eyes were full of oppression.

Although Fan Cun said this according to the advice of Sheng Taizu, which was a bit like a gourd, but with the momentum of this victory, Tong Daofu still felt extremely pressured.

"Your Highness, please make it clear." Tong Daofu said in a deep voice.

Fan Cun said calmly: "This time you forced Liu Fa to rush into Tong'an City and almost caused the main force of Liu Fa's Western Army to be wiped out. I have no intention of reporting this to Your Majesty.

"Similarly, I am also willing to share with you my unparalleled achievements in conquering Xingqing Mansion and destroying Xixia.

"But, Lieutenant Tong, please think carefully. With so many benefits, what are you going to give in exchange?"

Tong Daofu's face darkened, and then he said reluctantly: "Your Highness, King Yun, after all, the entire Western Army is still commanded by me."

Tong Daofu was not stupid, and of course he had heard the implication of His Highness Prince Yun's words.

What King Yun meant was that he was willing to cover up for Tong Daofu that he forced Liu Fa to march into Tong'an City, which almost caused a catastrophe, and at the same time share the credit for the destruction of Xixia.

But in this case, Tong Daofu must also pay a corresponding price.

For example, let go of control of the Western Army, allowing King Yun to legitimately take a large part of the command of the Western Army; another example is to provide strong support in the court, and even to contribute in the future battle for the throne.
