At first, the development of things was very in line with the plan, King Liang hurriedly gathered 10,000 people, but could not walk the nearest way along the canal north, although he did not cross the mountains and mountains from the Hebei Road, but the hurried road was inevitably tiring.

The supply of ordnance in Weiqiao Town is also expected, Gao Cuifeng has an old relationship with King Liang, and is also a courtier of King Qi, it is obviously impossible to hide the ordnance from him, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of King Liang.

Take it away, take it anyway, the Tanguts also have these weapons, and the number is far greater than that of the new army, and more bows and crossbows will not help.

In order to make King Liang and King Qi die faster, Cai Jing simply didn't do anything, and told the people of the Western Xia people about King Liang's troops, approximate marching route and location through special channels without telling the emperor that if he didn't die, he would really become a god.

Didn't the ancients say that people are not as good as heaven, and King Liang is really a god. When the Battle of Xincheng ended and the battle report was sent to Kaifeng as soon as possible, Zhao Hao fainted directly.

The imperial doctor said that he was angry, but in fact, Hong Tao's judgment back then was very reasonable. The Zhao family may have a genetic history of cardiovascular disease, and the elder brother Zhao Hao died on it, and the younger brother Zhao Hao is afraid that he can't avoid it.

The new army sacrificed thunder, and the party's more than 100,000 troops were helpless, and in less than two hours, the troops were defeated like a mountain, and the corpses, horses, armor, vehicles, and baggage were thrown all the way, and they fled in a hurry.

According to the estimation of the defenders of Dingxi City, the new army beheaded at least more than 10,000 people in this battle, and killed no less than 10 generals, not only taking the new city in one go, but also relieving the siege of Lanzhou.

Another thing that was even more appalling was that the new army was likely to have injured the Western Xia Emperor, and the six-wheeled carriage and some supplies that resembled the royal family were also escorted back to Kaifeng by the Dingxi City Forbidden Army.

Even if it was damaged, soiled, and burned, it is not difficult to see the identity of its owner from these items, and some things really cannot be used with money, which is the same in the Great Song Dynasty, and the same is true in Western Xia.

News! It's definitely bad news, after Zhao Hao woke up, he only asked one sentence: Where is King Liang!

This kind of little trick will definitely not be able to hide King Liang for a lifetime, as long as he meets King Qi, all the tricks behind him will be clear at a glance. With King Liang's temper, it must be to go straight to Kaifeng City with the new army, and it will not be finished without crushing his bones and ashes.

Count the generals in your hand, even the Tangut people can't beat them, and you still hope to stop the magic soldiers who have won a hundred battles? This is clearly not something to be counted on. Now we have to quickly calculate the time left, and then find a way to find a scapegoat first, such as Cai Jing.

But the queen's answer made Zhao Hao's blood pressure almost rise again, what is the great victory at the border pass? is so happy, could it be that the queen is also colluding with King Liang!

The new battle report made the emperor's blood pressure drop again, and King Liang did not return to the court, but went to Liangzhou and beheaded more than 100,000 again. Zhao Hao is angry with the battle report, are the people of Western Xia all paper-paste? Why can't you even take a picture!

This news was quickly confirmed by the Imperial City Division and the Privy Council, and the Western Xia people were indeed paper-paste, not only could not defeat King Liang, but even King Liang's subordinates and Ganzhou guards could not beat their lives.

Seventy or eighty thousand people were stunned and killed, and it was not written in the battle report on how to be killed, anyway, the Xixia people have withdrawn their troops, and the danger of Qinfeng Road and Ganliang Road has been solved.

Well, King Liang and King Qi took care of the overall situation and did not turn against each other to play infighting, Zhao Hao and Cai Jing expressed their deep admiration. Now that the Tangut people have retreated, it is time for the two of you to come back and settle accounts, right?

The result is indeed very similar, the new army recruited troops in Liangzhou, and the king of Qi did not move in Lanzhou, and he looked very ready to go. Just as the emperor was pondering what crime to treat Cai Jing, the situation did not develop according to their expectations.

It's as if King Liang and Cai Jing are heart-to-heart, every time the prime minister is in trouble, the battle report will appear in time to relieve the siege. King Liang did not wave his army south, but went east, crossing the Qinfeng Road and rushing straight to Yingli City on the border of Western Xia!

Fake a shot! This is the unanimous judgment of Zhao Hao and Cai Jing. Cai Jing didn't know that he had been rescued twice by King Liang, if he knew, would he still frame Zhongliang with the unsympathetic emperor?

They believed that the King of Liang, in the name of the Western Expedition, planned to cross the Lingbo Mountain and then cross the Yellow River in the south, enter the Huaide Army from the Hengshan area, go through Pingliang, Jingzhou, and Pizhou, and also reach Jingzhaofu.

Although this post road passes through more hills and ravines, it can avoid the southeast of Qinfeng Road, where heavy troops gather. Once the new army drilled into Jingzhao Mansion, they could use the ships of Weiqiao Town to advance by land and water, and go down the river to Kaifeng!

One by one, the will flew to Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, and Yongxing Military Road like snowflakes, and strictly ordered the nearby forbidden troops to quickly march to these state capitals, and if it didn't work, it had to be blocked, even if it consumed some more ammunition of the new army, Kaifeng City would be able to suffer less.

But this time he guessed wrong, King Liang didn't make a false shot, he really went to Yingli, not only broke the city in a battle, but also slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Xixia soldiers and civilians, and all the heads that were cut off were tied to wood and thrown into the Yellow River.

This incident is not a war report, nor is it a rumor, but the cry of the Western Xia envoy in the court.

The envoy also brought a letter of state from the Western Xia court, which said that the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun died and the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was grief-stricken. The party nobles had no leader, and they prayed for surrender, hoping that the heavenly kingdom could open the net and withdraw the army, and from then on, the Western Xia was called a minister every year, and paid tribute every year.

No matter what Zhao Hao thinks in his heart, this is a great thing. Since the founding of the Western Xia, he has been fighting with the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and the best year is to make the Western Xia nominally bow his head, but in fact he still has to do what he should do.

It seems that this time it was really hurt, the love of the national book is sincere, the attitude of admitting mistakes is extremely correct, and the envoy is so old that he cried miserably. It is said that Xiping Mansion, Shunzhou, Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion are located, as long as they are close to the city by the Yellow River, you can see the heads of people floating in the river.

In the daytime, the wind was miserable, and at night it was full of wailing, and the soldiers did not blink their eyes, and turned into fierce ghosts and refused to leave for a long time. All the temples in the cities turned around the river to do things, and no one dared to drink the water of the Yellow River.

This kind of human tragedy hurts the peace of heaven, and the Western Xia court is willing to turn the war into a jade silk and surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and all the conditions can be negotiated, only begging the heavenly court to quickly withdraw the new army, and stop wantonly slaughtering the Western Xia army and civilians.

To withdraw or not to withdraw, this matter has become a pot of porridge in the court. Some courtiers thought that winning the battle was a good thing, but the slaughter of the city was too brutal and should be reprimanded. But the troops cannot be withdrawn, at least not until the talks between the two countries are over. Western Xia has always been capricious, and if he is not a gentleman, he cannot be treated as a gentleman.

Some courtiers felt that no matter whether they were gentlemen or not, we couldn't lose the sage's education. The soldiers must be withdrawn, and the king of Liang and the king of Qi must be severely punished, and this case cannot be opened.

There are also some courtiers who think that not only can they not withdraw their troops, but they also have to let the Yongxing army send troops to attack together, and take advantage of its illness to kill him. The Great Song Dynasty does not lack such a subject country at both ends of the first rat, but it is afraid of one more white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.

The three groups of people have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, and at this time the emperor is the final weight, and which side he supports is the final decision.

Zhao Hao's blood pressure went up again, and he really wanted to withdraw his troops, but he didn't dare. Is it still alive to be the emperor if such a group of tiger and wolf soldiers come back? This time, we can't let Wang Shu remove the military power on the spot, even if he does it shamelessly, will Wang Shu and Zhao Maid be obedient?

It's still unclear why they didn't immediately go back to the court to settle accounts with themselves, but they will never be so confused that they don't realize anything. This kind of thing can be touched even if the commander who is the most unruly in the chamber can touch it, even if the King of Qi is inexperienced, isn't there still King Liang.

It's not appropriate not to withdraw troops. With King Liang's training speed, if this battle continues to be fought, it won't be 10,000 new troops in a short time, and I feel dizzy when I think about it.

And if you don't withdraw your troops, the Tanguts are likely to fall to Liao. Although there is a lot of chaos in Liao now, it has to be guarded against, and having a helper in plain white is also very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty.

The court couldn't make up their minds, and some people in private were terrified. Cai Jing was afraid, for fear that if he didn't withdraw his troops and let King Liang and King Qi enter Xingqing Mansion and catch the Western Xia officials, he would have to sell his armor privately and transport craftsmen.

The distant cousin who pretended to be a businessman had already taken care of it, but there were some things that couldn't help but be investigated. Once he chased the head of the envoy of the Daimyo's mansion, he was doomed. I knew that this money was so hot, so I shouldn't have taken it.
