Since Wanyan Changzhi was demoted, his father-in-law Wanyan Fushou has been sick at home and no longer cares about the government. It just so happened that Wanyan Yungong also saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, and was happy to let him withdraw from the court. And after Taishi Zhang Hao was forced to Zhishi, Wanyan Fushou also asked Zhishi on the table, and he was successfully allowed to play.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the vacancy left by the two ruling ministers to Shishi, Wanyan Yungong appointed Wanyan Baisa as the political affairs of Pingzhang, took over the position of Wanyan Fushou, and added Pucha Hezhu as the right secretary of Shangshu, Wanyan Hezhou as the governor of the political affairs, and moved Pu A as the secretary of the ministry, Zhang Wenshou as the household servant and so on. All of his cronies were promoted.

This time, the Jin State rescued the Western Xia, and actually dispatched 340,000 horses, including 200,000 infantry, 120,000 cavalry, and 20,000 Tiefutu. The emperor finished his face and congratulated the royal frame in person. The accompanying officials included Fusan Zhongyi, Fushi Lie Zhining, Xiao Sa, Bai Yanjing, Wanyan Baisa, Shu Qi Gao Hu, Shifting Thorn Pu A, Zhang Wenshou and others. Leaving Wanyan Zongzheng, Pucha Hezhu, Wanyan Hezhou, and Sushi Lieliangbi to stay in Zhongdu to deal with government affairs.

There are three ways to enter Western Xia from Jin, one is from Huanzhou, and enters the southern region of Western Xia from Weizhou. If you want to rescue Xingqing Mansion, this road is undoubtedly the fastest, but the flanks are vulnerable to attack by the Song army. Therefore, it cannot be used as a major offensive aspect. The remaining two roads were one to break through from Yinzhou in the eastern part of Western Xia and march along the Hengshan Mountains and the narrow passage within the Great Wall, but there were many cities along the road and needed to be captured one by one, and the other was to start from outside the Great Wall and cross the Great Desert to reach Xingqing Mansion. There is nothing to get to the road, but there is little water to cross the desert, and logistics are difficult, so it is difficult to mobilize a large army.

Therefore, after the discussion of Fusan Zhongyi, Sushi Lie Zhining, and Bisa, Bai Yanjing decided to divide the 340,000 army into three routes, and Bai Yanjing led 40,000 horses and horses from Huanzhou to attack Weizhou as a decoy for the enemy; He led an army of 60,000 people, walked beyond the Great Wall, crossed the desert, and strived to reach Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible. Wanyan Yungong and other ministers led the remaining 240,000 troops to attack Yinzhou.

After the news of the Jin State sent troops to Xingqing Mansion, the morale of the people of the entire Western Xia was also boosted, and people rushed to the streets to tell each other, this time the Western Xia was really saved, and many people were even so excited that they cried. And the qi image of the Western Xia court is also new, Li Renxiao's illness is also much better, there is a smile on his face that has not been seen for many days, and the civil and military ministers have more confidence to speak.

Since the Jin State has sent troops, then no matter what, it is necessary to defend Xingqing Mansion to the death. But now that Gao Shan is dead, Wei Mu Tingping and others are still young and difficult to preside over the overall situation, so Li Renxiao and the ministers discussed and decided to give up Lou Bobei City, and transfer Gao Yi, the main general who guarded Lou Bobei City, back to Xingqing Mansion to preside over the overall defense of Xingqing Mansion.

After Gao Yi returned to Xingqing Mansion, he strengthened the city defense and prepared the equipment to defend the city, and at the same time recruited people from all over the country, and gathered nearly 100,000 horses. Xingqing Mansion is the largest city in Western Xia, and the city walls are generally about four zhang, so as long as there are enough men and horses in the city, as well as enough determination, it is not easy to break through Xingqing Mansion.

Yang Yan ordered Gao Zhen to be the main general, leading the Song army of 120,000 and the Lingzhou army of 60,000, and set up layers of defense outside the city of Xingqing Mansion to confront the Western Xia army. At the same time, Temujin also ordered his two younger brothers, Hesar and Belgutai, to lead 20,000 Mongol troops to assist the Song army and besiege Xingqing Mansion.

Gao Yi once tried to send an army out of the city, sneak attack the Song army, and cooperate with the Jin army's offensive. But Gao Zhen was also prepared for this, and the Song army was very tightly defended, and immediately gave the Western Xia army a head-on blow. After the Western Xia army retreated to the city, Gao Yi also knew that it would not work to sneak attack the Song army, so he did not count on it, and defended the city wholeheartedly, only waiting for the Jin army to defeat the Song army to relieve the siege of Xingqingfu.

After Gao Zhen defeated the Western Xia army, he did not launch an attack on Xingqing Mansion, and he was also waiting for the results of the decisive battle between the Song army and the Jin army. However, the Song army was not idle, and Gao Zhen ordered the soldiers to pile up dirt and mountains outside the city, dig trenches, and build fortifications. Because the siege of the city is not attacked, there is nothing to do, and it is most easy for the soldiers to build the city to be lazy, so they must find something to do, and at the same time, it is also to prepare for the attack on Xingqing Mansion in the future.

After Yang Yan arranged the siege of Xingqing Mansion, he, together with Yang Changpeng and Li Haoyi, led the three armies of Xuanfeng, Xuanfeng, and Shengjie of the Dianqian Division, the three armies of Zhongrui, Weibian, and Xiaocai of the Ma Military Division, and the three armies of Xiongwu, Xiaoshun, and Changning of the Infantry Military Division, totaling 56,000 troops. Together with Temujin's 30,000 Mongol army, they will deal with the reinforcements of the Jin State.

Yang Yan first ordered Yang Changpeng to lead the front of the palace to urge the Feng army and the infantry army to guard Yinzhou, and asked him to block the Jin army's attack for fifteen days to prepare for the Song army. He also ordered Li Haoyi to lead the infantry army Si Xiaoshun and Changning to guard Weizhou and block the southern road of the Jin army. Temujin also divided the Mongol army in half, led by Sijiemu Huali, Borshu, Chilaowen, and Borhu, and turned outside the Great Wall to block the Jin army's northern route army. The remaining Mongol and Song armies were stationed in Yanzhou, building fortifications and preparing to meet the Jin army's mid-route army here.

At this time, all the men and horses of the Jin army also went hand in hand, and the vanguard general of the middle route army, Pu Cha Zhenyi, led the men and horses to kill the city of Yinzhou, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Yinzhou.

And Yang Changpeng led the Song army to Yinzhou and defended it with all his might. The Song army was originally good at defending the city, and Yinzhou was also an important border town in Western Xia, and the city wall was also very strong, the Song army prepared a large number of tools to defend the city, and Yang Changpeng commanded well, at the same time, due to the lack of preparation time of the Jin army, there was no tower car, and it could only rely on the cloud ladder to attack the city, so Pu Cha Zhenyi led the vanguard of the Jin army to attack for more than ten days, and more than 8,000 soldiers, but still did not capture Yinzhou.

At this time, the brigade of the middle army of the Jin army passed through the city of Yinzhou. Wanyan Yungong couldn't capture Yinzhou for more than ten days, and he couldn't help but be furious, and he was about to behead Pucha Zhenyi at that time. Fortunately, Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhishou persuaded each other repeatedly, and Wanyan Yungong spared Pu Cha Zhenyi's life, but he was still angry, and still beat him with forty military sticks and demoted him to a centurion.

The next day, Wanyan Yungong immediately led the Jin army to attack the city in person. This time the Jin army dispatched ten tower cars, but the Song army under the command of Yang Changpeng, the city of unity, to defend the city, the Jin army attacked for three days in a row, wounded and killed countless soldiers, although almost killed on the city wall, still repelled by the Song army, but still unable to capture Yinzhou. However, the Song army was not much better, and after days of hard fighting, the Song army also lost nearly 4,000 soldiers, and another 1,000 were seriously wounded, and they could no longer participate in the battle. And Yinzhou City also has many houses damaged.

However, Wanyan Yungong felt that his face was also a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but be furious, and ordered that Yinzhou must be captured tomorrow, otherwise all the soldiers who participated in the siege would be beheaded for public display.

As a result, the next day, the Jin army wanted to fight to the death, but after knowing that it was under the city of Yinzhou, it was found that the city was silent, and there was no Song soldier guarding it. After the Jin army climbed the city wall, it was also empty. So he opened the gates of the city and let the army of the golden army into the city.

It turned out that just last night, Yang Changpeng received an order from Yang Yan to give up Yinzhou and withdraw his troops immediately. Because the garrison in Yinzhou was originally only a fifteen-day period, as soon as Yang Changpeng arrived in Yinzhou, he prepared many vehicles and could retreat at any time. Therefore, after receiving the order, Yang Changpeng immediately organized men and horses, loaded the wounded and other supplies, and evacuated overnight. And put a fire on the side of the things that were difficult to move from the treasury and burned them all. After the Jin army entered the city, the fire had not yet been extinguished.

After the Jin army entered the city, they extinguished the fire in the city, but did not grab much supplies. But no matter what, it was also the capture of Yinzhou City, Wanyan Yungong was also very happy, it seems that the soldiers under his command still have to force it, otherwise they will not do their best.

Sure enough, there was no shadow of a Song soldier in the city, and the state government was arranged for Yan Yungong's residence, which was also the best place in Yinzhou City. When Wanyan Yungong went on the expedition, he also brought six of the most favored concubines, and each concubine brought a lot of female attendants by his side, not to mention, Wanyan Yungong also brought a team of singing and dancing teams to have fun at any time. Because these people can't be lazy, if there is a little bit of inconsiderate place, I will give you a few words in the emperor's ear, it will not be able to eat and walk around, so it is a long time to arrange it.

It took a long time to finally arrange these people, and Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining were relieved, but they felt that waiting for the emperor was much harder than fighting. At this moment, someone came over with a brocade box and said, "Two adults, we found this thing on the official case in the main hall, what should you do if you look at it?" ”

When the two looked at it, the lid of the brocade box read: The head of the soldiers and horses of the East and West Roads of Lizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoy of Lintao Road, led the Pingxia Zhulu to appease Yang Yan and the Emperor Dajin to dismantle it personally. When I opened it, it was a letter. The two didn't dare to open the letter privately, discussed it, and went to see Yan Yungong with the brocade box.

At this time, Wanyan Yungong was in a good mood and was enjoying the singing and dancing in the state office. Seeing that the servant Sanzhong Yi and Su Shi Lie Zhining came in with a brocade box, he was also a little surprised, tore open the envelope, took out the letterhead and looked at it, but it was written: Quickly retreat and retreat, you can save the year, march into the army, and the society will fall.

After Yan Yungong finished reading it, he became angry again, and tore the letterhead to shreds at that time, and said: "Yang Yan, this horseman, dares to underestimate me, see that I led the army to Xingqing Mansion, captured this horseman in front of me, and saw what else he had to say." The order was given, and the troops were immediately raised and the march continued. ”

Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining were startled, and Fusan Zhongyi hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is the lord of my big gold, why bother to meet a little Yang Yan?" Don't fall for Yang Yan's trick to lure the enemy! ”

Su Shi Lie Zhining also said: "Yes! Your Majesty, we have just captured Yinzhou, and we are tired, and it is late today, so let's take a break for a few days before marching! ”

Wanyan Yungong didn't suppress the anger in his heart at this time, and said, "Okay, then take a day off and set off tomorrow, don't shirk." ”
