Qu Tuluo, Jiang Feibiao, and Li Qiong secretly shouted that it was not good, even if they were bystanders, the three of them could see that Mu Tiancheng's decades of cultivation were still worse than Yang Zhi's;

Yang Zhi said calmly: "The Mubo Department is indeed extremely brave in these two battles, but with all due respect, compared to the Western Xia Army, your combat effectiveness is still inferior, and this time there are also Zhao Huaien's troops and the cavalry of Xihe Road in the 20,000 army. So I don't think it is possible for you to hold Dingbian Town alone, but Wuyuan County becomes the front line, and your pressure in Dingbian Town will become very small, as long as you face the Qiang people on Hengshan. ”

After a moment of distraction, Mu Tiancheng regained his composure, raised his head and said, "My lord, Wuyuan County has never been occupied by the Song army, and the last time we attacked we only robbed the vicinity of Yanchi, and we didn't even touch the city wall of Wuyuan County. ”

Yang Zhi said lightly: "The reason why I didn't take the step-by-step advance strategy of the fortress is to attract the army of Western Xia to fight a decisive battle with our army, Ren Dejing is now only left to attack the defeated army of Weizhou, he wants to reverse this situation, he has to defeat my two armies, each of which is undoubtedly more advantageous to Western Xia than waiting for us to join forces and then fight, so Ren Dejing must choose to use Wuyuan County to attract us, in the direction of Weizhou, and wait for the decisive battle of Youzhou reinforcements." What we have to do is to capture Gohara County before the Yoju army arrives. ”

Mu Tiancheng and the four of them were shocked, Yang Zhi claimed to never use the danger, but if he really wanted to use it, he was so bold that Yang Zhi knew that it was impossible for the Youzhou army to come so quickly, because now the Youzhou army was transferred again and again by Ren Dejing, and in terms of background and strength, it was already much worse than before. Ren Dejing's battle to turn things around is actually a big leak, giving himself a chance to pick up the leak.

Yang Zhi immediately analyzed the deployment of troops on both sides, the reasons for the respective plans of the Western Xia army, after a cup of tea, Mu Tiancheng was speechless, Ren Dejing was in front of Yang Zhi, as if it was a piece of meat on a cutting board, Yang Zhi wanted to cut how he wanted;

Qu Tuluo and Jiang Feibiao knelt down, Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this, our Dingbei Army just hopes that all ethnic groups will live in harmony, although there will be a period of time for the handover, I can prepare for Taiyuan first, Mu Tiancheng knows the Dingbian Army, Qu Tuluo serves as the supervisor of the Dingbian Army, and Jiang Feibiao serves as the regimental training envoy." ”

Mu Tiancheng and the others were overjoyed, knowing that this matter would definitely not be changed again, and they said a few words of thanks and then took their leave; Li Qiong did not leave, and asked Yang Zhi: "My lord, what should I do now?"

Yang Zhihu widened his eyes and said: "There should be no problem, Mu Tiancheng is just worried that these two times Qu Tuluo took charge of the army, which has affected his prestige in the tribe." Mu Tiancheng's roots are in Hehuang, you send a letter to Liu Qi and ask him to arrange for Zhao Huaien to check if there are any tribes that have been talking to Mu Tiancheng about the alliance recently. ”

"Yes!" Li Qiong nodded, turned around and walked out, and Sang Zhong, who had been beside him, asked with some hesitation, "Your Excellency is preparing to buy horse bones?"

"There's no need for that. Yang Zhi snorted and said: "As long as the Mubo tribe obeys the orders, what is a Dingbian town? Starting from Longdong, there are fewer and fewer Han people, and I hope that a large number of Dangxiang, Qiang, Tubo, and Uighur people will be used by me; but their sincerity is the most important thing, and if they only want to use my territory to develop their own power, it is absolutely not allowed." Hehuang can't be in a hurry, but Longdong and Longxi, no matter which clan they are, will eventually become Han nationality, and the Zhifu Division will arrange for other officials to enter the Dingbian Army. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands. "Sang Zhong really understands, when Yang Zhi described the battle just now, Sang Zhong really listened to it, Ren Dejing in order to let Yang Zhi divide the army, the bait thrown is too tempting, whether the Dingbei Army can succeed this time, it is really difficult to say, but if Wuyuan County is taken, it will be a heart-wrenching blow to Western Xia. Yang Zhi smiled and said: "You don't understand, I don't plan to fight to the end, if we can't fight, we just take the people, salt workers and supplies of Wuyuan County to retreat south; ”

Sang Zhong suddenly realized that Yang Zhi did not have the confidence to win Wuyuan County, Yang Zhi had the confidence to completely smash Wuyuan County; Sang Zhong sighed, as far as he was concerned, there was still a considerable gap with Yang Zhi, and the more the Western Xia could not figure out Yang Zhi's thinking, the greater the possibility of the Dingbei Army winning.

When Ren Dejing fled to Wuyuan County, the soldiers and civilians around him did not have time to enter the city, and watched as the Dingbei army captured more than 3,000 people and more than 2,000 livestock; as Wuchi was breached, thousands of salt workers and coachmen, together with 200 carts, fell into the hands of the Dingbei army. Yang Zhi used all the manpower and material resources to transport the green salt, except for the sheep, all the livestock were loaded with green salt, plus the cart, Yang Zhi transported 80,000 catties of green salt in one go, and swaggered back to Huanqing Road.

Zhang Zongge and Li Zhen launched a feint attack on Hengshan, and the Western Xia was defeated by the Hengshan Qiang army, Li Yanxian and Li Yi were determined to defend Dacheng Fort, and suddenly heard that the Western Xia had withdrawn their troops, only to know that Ren Dejing had been defeated in Huanzhou, and the Dingbei army had captured Dingbian Town, and the Hengshan Qiang army had to withdraw north for reinforcements; Wang Yu with 5,000 Qingzhou troops felt that when he learned of this situation, he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue.

Hengshan Qiang army rushed to Dingbian town on the way, suddenly encountered Zhao Yi's room 6,000 cavalry attack, Hengshan Qiang army in the plains in addition to the tenacious style, did not have much advantage, in the transfer to the mountainous area, suffered Fu Xuan, Zhang Zongge's ambush, in the three-way pursuit can only give up reinforcements Dingbian town retreat to Donggu Village, and so on Hengshan Qiang army breakthrough to the south ditch, has lost more than half, but also by Wang Yu and other more than 10,000 troops attack, in more than 30,000 Dingbei army foot cavalry siege, 20,000 Qiang army in the killing of 6,000 enemy troops on the basis of the whole army annihilated.

The entire Loess Plateau was shaking, Suizhou and Xiazhou only symbolically sent 3,000 people and 5,000 people, and did not dare to approach Wuyuan County at all, fortunately Ren Decong did not withdraw to Wuyuan County, but retreated to the Baotai army to station, but this is it, Xining Prefecture was also lost under the sneak attack of Niu Gao; Qu Duan and Chong Bin split up to kill the Baotai army, and for a while, the wind was loud, and Ren Dejing desperately called the police to the Quartet.
