In Huizhou New City, the war was intensified, and the Dangxiang people attacked the city, as before, were still brave and fearless. Even children in their early teens climbed the wooden ladder and were desperate.

Dangxiang and Song have been in a grudge for nearly a hundred years, and almost every household of Dangxiang has suffered casualties. This kind of hatred is hard to resolve.

Just like the ten-year-old child, holding a knife and falling rocks, he quickly climbed to the city with an arrow, rain, only because his father died here a few years ago.

The sorrow of war! It is nothing more than the two sides who are hostile to each other for generations until one side fails completely and loses the family and country, which means the hatred ends.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dangxiang has fought with the Song Dynasty, but he doesn't know why the people of Dangxiang had such a national strategy. The people of Dangxiang did not go west or north, but just went south to fight with the Song Dynasty. The reason is really difficult to understand.

If the Western Xia went west to expand its territory, it would be much better than fighting with the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and it would also have to gain more. Uighurs and other places were naturally not rivals of Dangxiang. Perhaps the Dangxiang clan was too influenced by the Han civilization, and during the Tang Dynasty, he surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty, even the characters were all structures and brushwork. He also had the concept of China in his heart, and the wild land probably did not see it.

Or perhaps, the Dangxiang war was also to relieve internal pressure. Although Dangxiang was the dominant member of the Tuoba tribe, there were also seven other tribes. Only war could unite the internal and effectively control the other seven tribes. Dangxiang Tuoba royal family, later surnamed Tang Li, was also the current Weiming. But these still cannot explain why the Dangxiang people had to fight to the death with the Northern Song Dynasty. There were many goals of the war. For Dangxiang, the Northern Song Dynasty was naturally the most unstable goal and the most powerful goal. After so many years of war, Dangxiang was mostly not worth the loss, but the more they fought, the more passive it became. The reason for this matter has become a mystery.

The Dangxiang clan is not really a clan, most of which are Qiang people from various tribes, and the Dangxiang Tuoba clan should be a descendant tribe that lived in the Xianbei and Qiang people. Now these eight tribes are collectively called Dangxiang, but there are also ethnic minorities such as Han people, Uighurs, Tubo people, Uighurs, Uighurs, Uighurs, and Uighurs in the Western Xia territory.

Liu Fa didn't go up to the city wall, but only sat down at the base of the wall. He was old and could no longer go up and down the city wall.

The fighting and howling were all heard, but the veteran could not let the old general frown and ordered the soldiers to run back and forth in the city. Liu Fa only nodded slightly to respond when he reported the news.

One hundred thousand Dangxiang first attacked head-on, but on the second day it turned into a siege on all sides, and in the next few days it was a siege. Dangxiang suffered heavy casualties, but the offensive became increasingly fierce.

Liu Fa was as stable as Mount Tai. Even though there were only more than 20,000 people inside the high wall, the high wall was a natural chasm. There were still many arrows in the city, and there were still more rolling stones on the wall. Everything was still under control.

After these things are slowly used up, the fight between the two people will begin, and the Dangxiang people will eventually climb up to the top of the city.

Liu Fa knew the rhythm of all this and trusted his soldiers.

Zheng Zhi led his troops across the Luoshui River, and finally put down a stone in his heart. After crossing the Yellow River and Luoshui River, only the official road was galloping, and life was Qin Feng.

After the troops were reorganized, Zheng Zhi was about to order the deportation.

The two scouts rushed over with two other cavalry and came forward to report: "My grandson, General Yang Keshi has crossed the river from Huayin and is heading north. These two are the scouts under General Yang's command."

Zheng Zhi heard this and asked quickly: "How many troops did General Yang bring?"

"Report to my grandfather, the general has brought 700 personal soldiers and can be here within one day." Yang Keshi's scout replied.

Yang Keshi had just returned north after suppressing Fang La's troops in Xuanzhou and other places in Jiangnan. He heard that Dangxiang Kou Bian in Tokyo and asked to lead his troops back to help. His family was in Huangzhou. He was anxious all the way and his actions were not slow.

Xihe Lanhuang is a general name for the four prefectures, Xizhou, Hezhou, Lanzhou, and Huangzhou. In fact, there are also Xiningzhou, Jishi Army, Langzhou and other places. Qin Feng goes westwards, Xihe Lanhuang.

Zheng Zhi heard this and ordered: "You go back and report quickly. I won't wait for General Yang here. I will order him to quickly meet in Weizhou."

"The little one must have passed the military order." After the scout answered, he got up and rushed south again.

Zheng Zhi also set out quickly. After two days, he entered Qingzhou and had reached the original sphere of influence of Zhong Shidao. Zheng Zhi also had many veterans under his command.

In Qingzhou, more than 2,000 old soldiers from Qingzhou and three thousand old soldiers from Yan'an Prefecture gathered. As soon as Zheng Zhi arrived, he naturally took them on the road together.

After passing through Yuanzhou, another two thousand gathered.

Weizhou was right in front of you. Zheng Zhi arrived all the way for twenty days, and it made the men under his command even more difficult.

Weizhou is still the same Weizhou, but there is no more husband from Zhong’s family in Weizhou.

When he got closer, Zheng Zhi pulled the horse and ordered his subordinates to repair the military camp outside the city, and took his personal soldiers straight into the city.

A man recognized Zheng Zhi from afar at the city gate and rushed forward to greet him.

Zheng Zhi saw someone running away, and he looked at him for a moment, and recognized him. When he got closer, Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "Radar, you are so sharp-eyed. You can recognize me even if you are so far away."

Radar also smiled and bowed and said, "I heard that Mr. Zheng was coming early. The young man had been guarding this city gate for more than 20 days. Finally, he looked forward to him. Mr. Zhong went to Tokyo, and there was a big battle in the north. People in the city were panic and they all hoped that Mr. Zheng would arrive in Weizhou as soon as possible."

When Zheng Zhi saw the ancients, he was not bad and asked, "You are so busy that you are so busy. You used to be just cleaning the sheep dung in the city, but now you are starting to guard the city gate."

"Ah... all the soldiers in the city have been transferred away. Now the city gates are guarded by the yamen. I heard that the war in the north is getting more and more anxious. The young man is also restless every day. If Mr. Zhong is still in the northwest, we would not be so worried." The radar's words were naturally complaining. When Master Zhong was there, no matter what the north was, it would not be the turn of Weizhou City to worry.

Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this. Zheng Zhi also knew about the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside in Tong Guan's handwritten letter. Of course, there is no problem with the strategy. If Zheng Zhi came to plan, this plan would be the best, and there is no better way than this. However, this strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside must give up a large area of ​​territory. When this matter arrives in Tokyo, it will be the root of disaster.

Zheng Zhi turned around and thought, if he had just applied this strategy to Tokyo to decide at the beginning, would it be another result? Regardless of whether time has not yet come, he would have played first and then done it. Will the Zhongshidao be less likely to suffer this disaster?

The answer is probably no. Everything is imminent. I have to go back and forth for 30 or 40 days to travel around the horse. Not to mention that I can retreat again, Zhao Ji, Tokyo, probably wouldn't agree to this plan, because the Tokyo ministers and Zhao Ji thought that there were tens of thousands of troops in the northwest, and the Dangxiang was just at the end of their strength. How could Zhao Ji be willing to give up this large piece of land that he had finally obtained? How could he give up the great achievements of expanding territory that could be written in history books?

Even Tong Guan probably had the same idea. Dangxiang was driven to the west of the desert, and his elite troops were completely lost, which was not worth worrying. If he was not in the field, it would be difficult to know the overall situation. Too many victories would always make people feel the illusion of despising the enemy.

If this plan cannot be passed in Tokyo, Zhong Shidao would have to guard one city and one pool, and the northwest would probably end up losing all the money. At that time, the Zong family would not have returned to Beijing to report their duties, and Tong Guan at that time would probably end up in a miserable situation. If the plan was not passed, Zhong Shidao would do this again, and the consequences would be the same, and there was also a serious crime of disrespect for the order.

This matter seemed to be destined to be the end when Tong Guan recommended the Master Zhong.

If you really want to find out where the joint is, perhaps Xu Shida, who has not come from Tokyo, probably wouldn't be like this.

Zheng Zhi entered Weizhou, and the Jingliu Mansion opened the office to raise food and pay, and organized the soldiers. Everything was running in an orderly manner. It was obviously the arrangements were made very appropriate when the Master Zhong walked on.

But this Jingluo Mansion has no longer a Jingluo husband.

Without the Weizhou, which was under the jurisdiction of her husband, there would be no meaning for Zheng Zhi's war.

Zheng Zhi entered the court palace and issued several documents to various places, urging the soldiers to gather. Then he drove out of the city and returned to the military camp to repair it.

Yang Keshi finally arrived and commanded seven hundred personal soldiers from Huangzhou. He went straight into the camp to pay homage.

Early the next morning, Zheng Zhi led his troops to Pingxia City, and on the way he collected two thousand old soldiers from Zhenrong Junzhou and Shunde Junzhou.

In Pingxia City, Liu Zhengyan was anxious every day and couldn't sleep all night. His father fought fiercely in Huizhou New City. Zheng Zhi couldn't wait on the left and right.

Now that the new city is surrounded, even the military information and war reports cannot be released. The news that Liu Zhengyan can receive is only the words of the scouts: The city has not been broken.

Liu Zhengyan, who was restless, was walking around the lobby and ordered his soldiers to come and report: "Little Liu, the army of Zheng is here, and it is still twenty miles away from the city."

Liu Zhengyan was overjoyed when he heard the words and said, "Hurry, hurry up, come with me."

After saying that, Liu Zhengyan ran out of the mansion, took the horse and left, and a dozen personal soldiers from all over the place followed.

"Liu Zhengyan, the son of Liu Fa, is here to pay homage to Mr. Zheng. Please ask Mr. Zheng to quickly lead his troops to Huizhou Xincheng to break the siege of his father." Liu Zhengyan almost flew down from his horse. After he got down, he knelt on one knee on the ground. He only wanted to go to Huizhou in front of him to save his father quickly.

Zheng Zhi felt a little relieved when he heard this. He knew from Liu Zhengyan that the new city had not yet fallen. He spoke and said, "You get on the horse first, and enter the city quickly and talk in detail."

Liu Zhengyan quickly got on the horse. Zheng Zhi saw Liu Zhengyan's face anxious and his horse stance was much faster.

When the city yamen was in peace, Zheng Zhi asked, "How many days have Mr. Liu been in Huizhou?"

"My father has been in Huizhou for twenty days, and the war has begun for more than ten days. The fierce battle has continued. The Dangxiang people attacked hard day by day, and even a letter cannot be issued. The soldiers in the city must be in a hard battle at this time. The city is about to be broken, so please ask Mr. Zheng to support him quickly." Liu Zhengyan unconsciously added a sentence in his words, "The city is about to be broken", which is also Liu Zhengyan's heart, and he is worried day and night that this new city will be broken.

Zheng Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu is the best at guarding the city. At this time, the new city will be worry-free. Wait for the soldiers to repair it for a moment, and set off for the new city immediately. We will surely clear the siege."

Zheng Zhi also comforted Liu Zhengyan in his words, but he knew in his heart that the city defense had probably reached a critical point after ten days of high-intensity siege.

However, these soldiers under their command were exhausted all the way. Before the battle, they must have a little rest and cannot go into battle in a hurry.

The new city is at the junction of Huizhou and Xi'an Prefecture. From Pingxia, the fast horse will arrive in two days. Once it arrives, the war will begin.

There was also someone in Pingxia City waiting anxiously, which was Xu Shida, but it was naturally not Zheng Zhi who was waiting for him.
