In the early winter of the seventh year of Fusheng Chengdao, a rare blizzard fell in northern China. This rare blizzard brought heavy disasters to Liao and Xia in the north. The northern part of the Song Dynasty was also hit by a blizzard, but the losses were much smaller for the Song Dynasty, which had a farming civilization.

The rare blizzard disrupted Li Liangzuo's calm heart. After the heavy snow, the entire Xingqing Prefecture and the entire Xixia Kingdom were covered in silver. Facing the beautiful snow scene, Li Liangzuo looked at no surprise. Li Liangzuo was worried about the people in Xixia. In this era of scarcity of daily necessities, blizzards often meant a large number of deaths of the people.

"Report, report, report...Report, report, report..." An urgent report broke the tranquility of the palace.

"Transfer my order and summon civil and military ministers at all levels to enter the palace to discuss matters immediately." Li Liangzuo said anxiously.

This matter has to make Li Liangzuo anxious. He just received an urgent report from the border. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom and the Grand Marshal of the World, Yelu Chongyuan, led an elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom from Datong Prefecture in Xijing to reach Heishan. He may attack the city of Oluoha City, an important town in the northeast of Xixia at any time.

"You all love yourselves are approaching the Liao army, let's talk about it! How should we deal with it?" Li Liangzuo asked the ministers.

Mozang Epang first stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I think someone should be sent to negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom has many soldiers and generals, so we are probably not an opponent. Please think twice."

"I am asking you to think twice..."

"I also agree, please think twice..."

"I also agree, please think twice..."

Li Liangzuo looked around and most of the people in the entire court agreed to the Liao Kingdom to negotiate peace, and even the emperor's uncle Wei Ge Ning Ling did not object. The foreign enemy did not want to respond to the enemy, but thought about peace. Li Liangzuo suddenly felt that the current subjects of the Western Xia Dynasty had lost their blood. A country with upper-class rulers without blood was destined to be impossible to develop for a long time.

Li Liangzuoqiang calmed down and said to the ministers: "Since all my dear friends agree to peace talks, I don't have much opinion, but I can't let me go in person! Since the Prime Minister takes the lead in discussing peace talks, then the Prime Minister leads all my dear friends who want peace talks to Liao Kingdom to negotiate peace talks!"

Wuzang Epang didn't expect Li Liangzuo to say this. Everyone knows that Xia and Liao have not been too much in recent years. Now going to Liao to negotiate peace is almost the same as going to die! Besides, as Wuzang Epang, as the prime minister, naturally could not be willing to take risks himself.

So Mozang Epang said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the old minister has suffered another leg disease recently. The doctor said it is not easy to travel far away. I am afraid that the old minister can do nothing about this peace talks!"

"Oh! Since the Prime Minister has suffered a leg attack, then go home to recuperate! Leave the matter in the court to the emperor!" Li Liangzuo went down to the donkey and confiscated the right of Wuzang Epang.

Wu Zang Epang did not expect that Li Liangzuo would do this and stood there in an instant. Li Liangzuo ignored Wu Zang Epang, but said to the ministers: "Other dear ministers who are planning to discuss peace, who are you willing to share my worries with me and go to Liao to negotiate peace!"

There was no fool in the ministers standing below. After hearing Li Liangzuo said so much, he knew that the emperor refused to negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom. If he insisted, it would have ended up like Mozang Epang. So the ministers immediately changed their subjects and followed Li Liangzuo's decision.

Li Liangzuo liked this feeling of supremacy of imperial power more and more. Understand that the ministers under the enemy had already surrendered to him. So Li Liangzuo said to the ministers: "Since all my dear friends do not agree to peace talks, then we can only go to war with the Liao Kingdom. I will decide to lead the army in person in this battle."

As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he opposed the words of the King Ning Ling: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Please leave this matter to the empress!"

Li Liangzuo insisted: "I have decided, so the emperor will not persuade me; I will pass on my will to draw 50,000 troops from the Xingqing Prefecture camp, and I will swear to go to war tomorrow morning."

"I will obey the order..."

The next morning, the Xia army was in the camp of Xingqing Prefecture.

Li Liangzuo was wearing armor and inspecting the army that went on the expedition. Standing on the school platform, he could not see the edge. There was a large area of ​​50,000 people. Among these 50,000 troops, three thousand heavy armored cavalry, 40,000 light cavalry and 7,000 crossbowmen.

Iron Yaozi is the ace army of Xixia. There are only more than 5,000 heavy-armored cavalry in the entire Xixia, of which 3,000 were stationed in Xingqing Prefecture, 1,000 guarding the Song Dynasty in the southern border, and 1,000 guarding the Liao Kingdom in the north. Iron Yaozi was equipped with the most advanced cold-forged armor at that time, which can defend against bows and arrows from afar, and can defend against swords and guns as much as possible. It can be said to be an invincible army.

The seven thousand crossbowmen are equipped with divine arm bows, with a range of between 240 and 300 steps, and the range is far greater than that of other bows and arrows at the same time. The dense rain of arrows happens to be the nemesis of the cavalry.

After reviewing this elite army, Li Liangzuo embarked on the first journey of two lives. Li Liangzuo led his army north along the Yellow River and crossed the Hetao Plain. Since it only took three days for all cavalry troops, Li Liangzuoda was located in the fortress Oluoha City on the northeastern border of Xixia.

Oluohai City is the garrison of the Weifu Army of Heishan. This city is located between the Daqingshan Ancient Great Wall between Yinshan and Langshan. Oluohai City is built on a mountain pass, which is the after-all road for the Liao army to attack Xixia from the northeast. At this time, the 150,000 army led by Yelu Chongyuan had already set up camp not far from Oluohai City.

The entire Oluohai City is square, with a city gate in the middle of the south and east walls of the city. There is a urn outside the gate. The entire Oluohai City is a military fortress. This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a large city in the northeast of Xixia.

"The last general Ji La Siyi pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Ji La Siyi, the guardian of Oluohai City, politely salutes Li Liangzuo.

"You are so kind! Tell me about the situation on the front line!" Li Liangzuo asked Jila Siyi.

Jilasiyi immediately reported: "A heavy snow at the beginning of winter this year froze most of the cattle and sheep of the Liao people to death. This time, the Liao army attacked us mainly to plunder food and grass, so their logistics supply was insufficient. Before His Majesty arrived, the last general had ordered the contraction of troops and gathered all the troops in the city;

In addition to the 150,000 elite Liao army led by Yelu Chongyuan, there are 50,000 tribal cavalry of Baidadan's tribe. Therefore, the Liao army outside the city is about 200,000, but the Liao army has not yet attacked the city. It seems that they plan to let us go out of the city to fight with it."

"There are 200,000 enemy troops, while our army only has 80,000. This is more than twice the difference. It seems that this battle is not easy to fight! Do you think of this battle, do you think of this battle?" Li Liangzuo asked everyone.

"Your Majesty, the last general suggested that we stand firm in the city. Although our army's troops are insufficient in attack, their defense is more than enough." A deputy general suggested.

Li Liangzuo thought about the following and said: "Once the Liao army sieges the city, wouldn't we be trapped and killed in the city? The Liao army only needs to surround us with a small part, and their main army can drive straight into the Hetao area. The losses will be immeasurable at that time! So even if we have to defend, we cannot defend passively."
