Shu Wang Renli has been working on this matter for several years, and it was not until today that there was a final result. He stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the Song people have been out of their armor for several years. Now the Zhong Shidao is no longer in Qin Feng, and that Zheng Zhi is thousands of miles away. Now it is the time when Xiang's man in our party fights life and death. He also asks Your Majesty to surrender his order, convene warriors from various departments of the Party, raise an army to regain the old capital, and restore my great reputation."

Wei Mingrenming also hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Shu is very saying, now I have been recuperating for several years in Daxia, and sheep and horses are all over the ground. It is the time to raise an army and fight again. I am willing to be the vanguard and take back the old capital for Your Majesty."

Ren Li Renming and the other two seemed to have discussed it and spoke before and after. Li Ganshun naturally had plans. He talked about this matter today, and had discussed it with many people before, and said again: "The Song people betrayed their faith and ignored the truce of the war, and sent troops to attack our Daxia. Now they are strong and powerful. It is time to take revenge. The Qing family must make every effort to prepare for the war without any mistakes."

The Song people never violated the armistice agreement between Song and Xia, and the Xixia people always violated the armistice agreement. However, the discourse and principles are all the same between countries. It is not necessary to be based on facts, and it is normal to speak lies with open eyes.

An official with white hair and hair trembled and came out of the crowd and reported, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. In the previous battle, we were defeated so badly, and the battle started again. If we lose again, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please think twice."

This statement is naturally very reasonable. In the last battle, Xixia would no longer have a large area of ​​vast land in the southeast of the desert and a prosperous capital. If the war starts and is defeated again, Xixia would probably not exist, and there would no longer be the right of the Dangxiang people to reproduce and survive in this world.

Emperor Li Ganshun had the idea of ​​fighting in his heart. At this time, he would not listen to the other people's retreating suggestions and answered: "The Song people are willing to destroy me. If we do not take advantage of the situation and start the war, we will definitely send troops to attack when the Song people are ready. Instead of doing so, why not take action first?"

The old minister answered: "Your Majesty is probably a misunderstanding. The Song people in the land of Lanhuang and Qinfeng in Xihe, the elite soldiers have already removed their armor and returned to the fields, and they have not had the intention to destroy me."

The old minister naturally wanted to debate with the emperor. Dangxiang now only had half of his former strength, and no longer had the same military strength as before. How could he easily start the war? The Song Dynasty is vast and has a large population, so it is not so easy to defeat. If it could be defeated, the border war would not last for decades.

Li Ganshun's idea was different, but Li Ganshun also wanted to fight to the death with Song. Li Ganshun wanted his original palace and his original capital.

When Shu Wang Renli heard this, he was a little anxious and stepped forward and said, "Isn't it just right for the elite Song people to disarm their armor and return to the fields? It is just a chance to send troops. How did my father die? How did we get to Guazhou by Song people? Have you forgotten? If you don't take this revenge, what kind of face do you have to meet your ancestors?"

The civil and military officials in the court had originally wanted to speak out, but the words of kindness made everyone hesitate. The emperor's attitude was also very obvious. The war was probably a foregone conclusion.

Today's talks are nothing more than the young war pro-war faction and the emperor's minds. And these old and calm officials are powerless to stop them.

Li Ganshun listened to the words of Renli and continued: "Dangxiang was originally a vassal of others. His life was hard and he was exploited. Emperor Jingzong was wise and powerful. He led the eight tribes to rise up, establish the country of Daxia, and save the people of the Dangxiang tribe from water and fire. From then on, Dangxiang could be considered to be able to live between this world. Now that the Song people bullied our Dangxiang, how could we bear it again and again? Only by sacrificing our lives to fight for our ancestors can we live up to the grace of our ancestors. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. All men over thirteen years old should gather in Guazhou, send troops to Lingzhou City, and restore the old mountains and rivers!"

Shu Wang Renli and Wei Ming Renming looked at each other and smiled. After a few years of wish, they finally achieved it. The hatred in their hearts was too deep. Renli had a grudge to kill his father and a humiliation of personality.

Li Renming was defeated several times and the hatred of taking his wife. The two had long coincided.

If Tong Guan followed the historical development, he would have made a strategy to the northwest. Although he won the battle of Xixia, he did not win so thoroughly. He only won a great victory in the border battle, forcing Xixia to bow down and surrender. The power of Xixia declined, so he would have no intention of fighting again. The Song Dynasty did not have the intention of fighting again. The two conveniences stopped the battle in such a tacit understanding.

However, due to Zheng Zhi, the battle between Song and Xia was too thorough. The Swordsman pointed directly at the capital of Xixia, forcing the Emperor of Xixia to go far away from the desert. It also caused such a thorough disarmament strategy in the northwest. Things in the world are changing and fate is a mess.

This time, Dangxiang reigned again and recruited soldiers to go offline, which was thirteen years old, which also showed that the Dangxiang people were declining. It was also the success of Zheng Zhi's strategy to attack people in Xixia, and he plundered a large amount of people and property in the east of Dangxiang.

In the south of the Yangtze River, in Anji City, Huzhou, Li Tianrun came to garrison with 10,000 soldiers.

The soldiers stood all over the city, covered with scarves, but they did not have armor. However, the weapons in their hands were shining with cold light. Most of these weapons were newly created, polished very sharply, and looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight. Although the weapons were new, they only lacked a sense of solemnity.

The officers and soldiers finally arrived, with not many flags, but they were heavy armored. At the edge of their vision, more and more heavy armored knights appeared slowly. Such armored soldiers brought invisible pressure to General Li Tianrun, the general of the country.

After all the three thousand knights appeared in sight, the pressure became heavier. Li Tianrun, who was standing on the top of the city, breathed a few breaths, looked around at his soldiers, and felt even more worried.

"Start up the demolition of the houses in the city and move all the earth, stone, hardwood and other things to the top of the city." Li Tianrun issued another order, and eight out of ten houses near the city wall were demolished just to defend the city.

In front of Zheng Zhi, he finally saw Anji City. Anji City is an important town west of Huzhou and the central city west of Huzhou. However, the city walls are not tall and the city defense facilities are not complete. This is also a common problem in Jiangnan cities.

Zheng Zhi looked up at the sky. Not long after noon, he calmly ordered left and right: "Get a camp, build a pot and cook rice. After eating, he will be well prepared for an hour to attack the city."

Zhu Long took the people down and made arrangements. However, Lu Da said, "The Zhu family, prepare a few bowls of strong wine for the span family."

Zheng Zhi heard the words and asked, "Luda, the war is about to start, what kind of wine do you still have?"

"Haha... Brother, don't worry, after eating a few bowls of wine, the Sa family will definitely kill a few more thieves." Lu Da replied with a smile.

Some scenes that I had seen in my previous life suddenly appeared in Zheng Zhi's mind. When he died, the soldiers would drink more and make them brave. Lu Da obviously did not need to drink more and make them brave, so it would be okay to drink crazy. Thinking of this, Zheng Zhi didn't say much. Perhaps this method would be used more in the future, against the Khitan and the Jurchens, drinking a bowl of strong wine before going into battle, which might be of some help to the military under his command.

When Shi Jin heard the words, he got into the fun and said, "Bao Lang, I will prepare a bowl with me."

Zhu Long nodded, rode his horse back, and said, "Prepare more together, and you should take it yourself if you want to eat wine."

Everyone set up camp and fed the horses some essence first. Then they trimmed and waited for the meal to start.

Since we used gunpowder to break the city, before siege, everyone no longer needed to prepare many siege equipment, which saved time and effort.

Nowadays, the method of siege has also improved. It is to use a bed crossbow to fire feather arrows. The ignited gunpowder bag is tied to the feather arrows and directly shoot the feather arrows onto the city gates, which is safer and more appropriate.

Niu Da led his men to slowly unfold the crossbow and tied the gunpowder bag.

Although Tong Guan followed Zheng Zhi all the way, he did not really fight with the army, but followed far away and did not go to the front line in person.

On the east side of Huzhou, under Gui'an City, Yang Keshi besieged the city for several days and continued to build siege equipment. The long ladder had already filled the entire front of the camp.

Shi Bao was still on the road, and there was still one day left before Gui'an. Obviously, the journey from Hangzhou to Gui'an is a little further than Anji.

Yang Keshi has been through the battlefield for a long time and has hundreds of personal soldiers. The scouts have come from afar and knowing that the bandit reinforcements are coming soon, they are staring at the map in the big tent to check.

Tian Yan was right beside him and asked, "General Yang, the reinforcements of the thieves will arrive tomorrow. We must think of some countermeasures and not let the reinforcements enter the city, otherwise it will be even more difficult to capture Gui'an City."

Yang Keshi nodded, thinking about this in his heart, pointed to the map and said, "Look at this place, there is a Yunchao Mountain, where heavy troops can be ambushed at the mountain pass, how about ambushing?"

Tian Yan saw Yang Keshi’s fingers and answered: “It’s good to ambush, but we only wait for 7,000 people and tens of thousands of thieves reinforcements, so it’s not going to work.”

Yang Keshi smiled and said, "Haha... General Tian was too worried. He had fought several battles with the thieves. The combat power of the thieves was vulnerable. I brought three thousand soldiers and horses to ambush them here. It is no problem to defeat the thieves. You are here to stay in the camp and wait for me to win and return."

Yang Keshi was full of confidence and had hundreds of personal soldiers under his command. Now he still has a lot of war horses and is very confident.

Tian Yan looked at Yang Keshi's confident appearance, and his mind suddenly appeared in his mind that Zheng Zhi's confident appearance was the same. He couldn't help but shook his head, but he didn't know what to say. There is a military book that underestimates the enemy and defeats it. Although Tian Yan has never really fought a war, he is familiar with military books. He really can't figure out why people like Zheng Zhi and Yang Keshi are victorious in battles.

"General Yang, what if the bandit army sent troops to pick up the enemy who came to aid in the city? Wouldn't the general be attacked from both sides?" Tian Yan asked again.

When Yang Keshi heard the words, he smiled and said, "It's just right. If the thief army in the city opens the city to help, you don't need to worry about me. You should beat the drums and attack the city and rush in in one fell swoop. This is a waste of time."
