The more you go north, the more desolate it becomes. There are small hills surrounded by yellow sand everywhere, and there is no green at all.

It is already March, and it is the time when spring is in full bloom. But there is no sign of spring in this bitter and cold place in the northwest. Due to the high saline level, the yellow sand on the ground will occasionally appear white, mixing with the overflowing white bones, like a ghost domain.

After marching for many days, the Song army was already numb, everyone had no expression on their faces and looked tucked, and they kept moving along the road paved with bones.

Today we will camp five miles away from the Qing army and attack the city at dawn tomorrow. Xu Huaidexin raised his throat and rode his horse to pay attention to the expression of the army from time to time. The army has no intention of fighting and will run around if it is accidentally killed. This is very dangerous.

I couldn't see a figure along the way, but fortunately there was no accident. The closer I was to Qingyuan City, the more complicated Xu Huaide's mood was. On the one hand, he was also afraid that he would fight with the enemy after he arrived in front of the city. On the other hand, it was a good thing that he would not see anyone. He used to march to the hinterland of the Fan Realm, but was always attacked by scattered soldiers from the foreign tribes, and was very troubled.

In the afternoon, the army left the mountainous area and entered the flat land where the Qingyuan Army was located. The Qingyuan Army was at the mouth of the mountains. When it was established, it was the Dangxiang Army who attacked from the north. Therefore, the city was on the north side of this flat land, and it was still ten miles away.

Xu Huaide was nervous and almost breathless. He looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked north. This place was already located in the depths of the vast sea, deserted and without plants, and it seemed that the shadow of the Qingyuan Army City could be seen in a vague way.

The detective cavalry scattered in front came over and saluted Xu Huaide with his hands crossed and said, "Master, there is no one within two miles ahead! There is no thief army or the people here, as if there is no one!"

Xu Huaide thought about it and couldn't figure out why it was so weird. He said to the detective cavalry: "You guys will find it five miles away if there is any abnormality. No matter whether there is anything abnormal, they will immediately report it!"

The detective crossed his hands and responded, turned the horse's head, clamped his legs and flew away.

It was still early, and the five-mile land arrived soon. Xu Huaide was not in a hurry to march, so he organized the troops at the Yamaguchi and started roaming.

Unless the imperial army march was divided into several groups, with a vanguard and a defender, if they gathered together, they were all in the main generals. Moreover, given the lessons of the Five Dynasties, the main generals did not follow the guards, nor did they have a special army of the main generals. These two characteristics directly led to the main generals being easily killed or captured in the war. The imperial army was reorganized by strict class laws. Once the main generals left, the army would easily collapse. This was particularly obvious when the defeat of Sanchuankou was particularly obvious. In fact, the number of Song soldiers at that time was less than Yuanhao, but the combat power might not be much different. The loss of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun had a great impact on the ending.

The Longyou Army used a new military system, and each level of commander commander had a personal army, and Xu Ping himself also had a military directly under the Protectorate Office. However, the personal army was not a private army, but was just a direct army of commander commander commander commander commander, and he was always by his side during the war. Xu Ping once suggested that the other imperial guards change the same way, and there were those who agreed and oppose the court, but Xu Huaide's army had not yet been changed.

The chief general is ahead, and he can lead the way to encourage morale, but it is also very dangerous. As soon as he leaves the mountain pass, Xu Huaide immediately formed a large formation of the entire army. He no longer uses marching formations, but sets up a formation to go to a camp five miles away. He also has to consider his life.

The formation has not yet been completed, and the scout cavalry sent out has already returned. Unlike last time, this time he brought someone here.

When he arrived in front of Xu Huaide, the detective rider crossed his hands and sang: "Report to the Grand Marshal, when he saw this man five miles away, he claimed to be the companion of the thief Li Tuanlian, the chief general of the Qingyuan Army. This guy brought a few men and women and set up a table of incense there, saying that he wanted to welcome the king's army. The thief was treacherous, and the young man dared not believe his words, for fear of leading our army into the abdication, so he brought him to see the Grand Marshal!"

Xu Huaide looked at the detective cavalry, touched his ears, looked up at the sun in the sky, and looked at the detective cavalry again, and said, "You say it again? What are the guys and women doing there?"

The detective cavalry didn't know that his words scared Xu Huaide, so he had to repeat it again.

Xu Huaide urged his horse and suddenly arrived in front of the man brought by the detective cavalry and shouted sternly: "Let me tell me what happened? If there is a little false statement, the family will immediately kill you in front of the army!"

The man was startled and shivered on his horse, and hurriedly crossed his hands: "Taiwei, the young man has no false words! The young man is called Li Jie, and he is a member of Li Tuanlian in the Qingyuan Army. The Qingyuan Army used to be guarded by the foreign soldiers of the ten clans of the wild ripples near the left. After the battle of Tiandu Mountain, they scattered and fled to the mountains and disappeared. Now Li Tuanlian in the city only brings five hundred soldiers, most of them are old and weak. How dare he fight against the Taiwei army? This city is a key place nearby. When the Guoxian thinks, he will send a large army to collect it. He has prepared a table of incense to welcome the king's army. He just waited left and right, and only waited until the Taiwei brought the army to come today."

Xu Huaide's heart was overwhelming, and he could not describe his feelings after hearing this news. He was frightened and was beaten by a thirty army stick on the way. It turned out that he was just here to take over an empty city? Suddenly, he felt like he wanted to cry.

After a long time, Xu Huaide tried to calm down and asked Li Jie: "Your regiment trained Xiancheng, aren't you afraid of the Hao thieves in Weizhou? There is only two days away from the Qingyuan Army. He brought his troops and could kill him in an instant!"

Li Jie was confused and looked at Xu Huaide and said, "The Hao thief is already in danger of protection. How can we take care of my family's training? Six days ago, the Grand Marshal Cao had already commanded the army to pass the Zhejianghui. Now I think he has surrounded Weizhou! At that time, the Grand Marshal Cao also sent people. Cao said that Qingyuan's army was the place where Xu's army garrison, so he was not convenient to send people."

Thinking of this, Li Jie remembered and hurriedly touched a piece of paper from his body and presented it to Xu Huaide: "Look at the Taiwei, this is the writing of Taiwei Cao, and I have already promised my family to train for the city. Therefore, we are here to look forward to the King's Army and have been waiting for the Taiwei for many days!"

Xu Huaide took the paper and could tell at a glance that it was written by Cao Keming. These commanders and commanders all had their own secret notes to facilitate wartime contact. Is it possible to see whether Xu Huaide written by Cao Keming at a glance?

After reading this paper and looking at it, Xu Huaide could no longer help but shed tears. He was frightened and marched hard, but he didn't know that the city had already been put down. Cao Keming could get a city with just one piece of writing, and he was thinking about what kind of battle he was thinking about.

Xu Huaide only felt that he was extremely cowardly and wanted to have a crack on the ground to get into it himself. Cao Keming set out from Tiansheng Village many days later than him. It was a path. The army was struggling hard, but he didn't expect the journey to go much faster than himself. It was the main force in the frontal attack on Weizhou. Yuan Hao had the strictest defense and the most bandits gathered on the road.

There was no enemy resistance along the way, because the troops on this route had been transferred to guard Cao Keming. No one could see people, because Fanluo in this area was killed by Cao Keming and fled to the mountains. The two armies were separated by a mountain, and there was no news in the mountains, but they did not expect such an accident to occur. Cao Keming's army was in front, and Fanluo in the mountains knew the news over there. Who would dare to tease Xu Huaide's army! Cao Keming had cleared all the obstacles on Xu Huaide's road with his reputation alone, and even the Qingyuan army helped him capture it.

Is it surprising? Is it a surprise? But Xu Huaide felt that he was really shameless to enter Qingyuan Army City. After all, he was ashamed. He was commanding the main force of the imperial guards, which was a little more than Cao Keming's army. If this result happened, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life. In the capital, he was captured alive by Gao Daquan. His companions and generals shared the same hatred of the enemy. He didn't laugh at him. He only said that Gao Daquan was not doing it by a hero. Will anyone comfort him like this in the future?

Xu Huaide felt wronged, and the Party-Entertainment Training in the Qingyuan Army made Li Xing even more wronged. He was obviously the first to send people to welcome the royal army, but the time for surrender was the latest. Even the Puluo River in the north had surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Li Xing was still waiting hard.

If Cao Keming had walked Xu Huaide along the way, he would have traveled starry night and arrived at the Qingyuan Army half a month in advance. If Xu Huaide knew that this was the result, he would have arrived here ten days ago. As a result, he missed Cheng Jian for three days on the way.

Xingyi Army, thinking that it was just a joke? Xu Ping did this, really showed the style of the king's army. After defeating Yuanhao's main force, the army would pass like a mat, and a piece of paper could be defeated. Xu Ping left Xiaoguan and sent a message to all parts of the country ahead, almost at the speed of march, without encountering decent resistance. Now that the periphery of Lingzhou has been cleared, all armies are gathering in Lingzhou to prepare for a key battle.

Yuan Hao didn't want to stay in Weizhou, but Lingzhou no longer wanted him, and the guards there ignored him at all. Anyway, they had already been defeated and wanted to negotiate with the Song army. They wouldn't talk to themselves? Why did they have to negotiate with Yuan Hao? Yuan Hao rebels from Song, and the land, people and army here were originally nominally from the Song Dynasty. He raised the city to welcome the royal army, and there was no psychological burden.

Yuanhao was going east to Yanzhou, but Cao Keming quickly sent troops to occupy the Puluo River after passing the Zhejiang meeting. This was also a place that made Li Xing in the Qingyuan army resentful. He clearly contacted Cao Keming earlier than the guard there, but the Si Xiancheng was in front of him. In the past few days, he had shamelessly rode on his head, pointed at him, and did nothing to do with him.

If Yuan Hao was just cut off the way back by Cao Keming and still had a try, the current situation in Hengshan made Yuan Hao completely die and retreat there. It was even more terrifying than Lingzhou, and he had already raised his troops to rebel.

This year, the northern part of Shaanxi Road, including the Song Dynasty, and Dangxiang, encountered a rare drought. After being exploited by Yuanhao with paper money for a year last year, the foreign tribes in Hengshan could not survive. Before Xu Ping left Xiaoguan, he had raised troops to rebel Yuanhao.

(In history, severe drought occurred in the first year of Qingli (the book has not changed its year name yet), and the largest foreign uprising in the entire history of the Western Xia Dynasty occurred in Hengshan area. The Northern Song Dynasty in history also encountered disasters and was unable to take care of itself and did not take the opportunity to send troops. Both sides faced severe drought at the same time and chose to start a peace talks. This major disaster was one of the reasons for the two sides' arbitrage.)

(To say something, when I posted this chapter, I habitually looked at the book review area. I never expected that there would be such an impression in the hearts of readers. There is an old reader who I don’t mention who it is, and I can read it in the book review area. I am a reader who chased books very early, and I am grateful for it. It is not easy to walk with this book for so long. I have complained about the content I posted yesterday and felt it was not worth it. This time I complained again, I think this is not good, so I found a way to make a free chapter yesterday as compensation.

, and I will not have any more chapters after I open a single chapter. I never expected that the image in his heart was that I did not respect the readers' opinions and said that I was arrogant? Except for advertisements and a few insults, my book review area never deleted posts. When you discuss in the book review area, I did not participate in the few posts explaining the situation. He actually felt like this in his heart? I asked for a leave yesterday to code a chapter to express my apology. How could I think this was like this? Okay, let's do whatever I want in the future.)
Chapter completed!
