Relying on the influence of his daughter Concubine Ren in the court, Ren Dejing went up and down again, and no one blamed him too much this time; Yang Zhi has been invincible in recent years, and it is understandable that the Bu Bazi army has lost. In order to regroup, Ren Dejing expanded the infantry army in Hengshan, and almost all the Hengshan Qiang people who were loyal to Western Xia were incorporated into the infantry army, and only then did it restore its original size.

However, Ren Dejing did not expect that the sneak attack on Wuyuan County was only the beginning of his nightmare, and unbelievable news came one after another, Qu Duan relied on Zhao Huaien's troops to pretend to be a Baotai army, first penetrated into Xixia Baili, and made a roundabout sneak attack on Xi'an Prefecture; Yang Zhi sent people to convey a message to the Hengshan Qiang tribe that if the Hengshan Qiang people were willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty, they could be organized into a separate army and settle their families, so that those villages and tribes that simulated two sides began to sway.

At this moment, Ren Dejing understood Yang Zhi's true intentions, and only then did he understand that Brother Richard's vision was very clever, why Brother Richard warned himself at the beginning to admit that he would stick to the war, as long as there were no problems with the Dingbian Army and the Hengshan Defense Line, Yang Zhi could only return in vain. Just because the Qianli River embankment can be destroyed in the anthill, Yang Zhi took advantage of a victory to constantly interfere with the hearts of the people and people everywhere, which is a big taboo.

But now, he messed up a good game of chess, and the entire first line of defense was completely destroyed by Yang Zhi in half a month, leaving Wuyuan County and Youzhou directly exposed to the Dingbei Army's troops. If you want to reverse this situation, you must take the initiative to fight to save the impact, Ren Dejing thought with his feet and knew that this was exactly the scene that Yang Zhi was looking forward to, and it was impossible to be impulsive, Ren Dejing ordered to hold on everywhere and wait for reinforcements.

Yang Zhi didn't want to take Youzhou in one go, the victory in the first battle relieved the pressure, Qu Duan gave himself a surprise, because Yang Zhi decided that in addition to Xi'an, the Dingbei Army burned down all the walled forts that were easily captured, and it was obvious that Yang Zhi's idea created a vacuum between the two armies. Zhao Kai was overjoyed, and was able to recover Xi'an Prefecture and Dingbian Army, the two wedges of the Western Xia people, the symbolic significance was significant, and immediately rewarded Yang Yizhong and Qu Duan, which made Wang Yu very dissatisfied.

Wang Yu was dissatisfied not only in the military exploits, but also in the strategic thinking different from Yang Zhi, Wang Yu believed that the fortresses of the Dingbian Army should be held and finally captured, and they should confront the Western Xia, and Yang Zhi's approach was repeating the mistakes made by the Western Army before; for Yang Zhi's thinking, the so-called cutting off the fingers of the Tangut people with a knife, and finally letting the Xixia blood flow more than enough and fall to the ground and die, Wang Yu did not agree.

Although Yang Zhi withdrew from the army with insufficient food and grass materials, Wang Yu still left a team to operate in the marginal area, and wrote to Taiyuan and Runzhou, thinking that Yang Zhi wanted to preserve his strength and deliberately did not expand the results of the battle, which would make the previous efforts all wasted, which made Liu Ziyu in Huanqing Road startled, and it was understandable to write to Taiyuan, and to write to Runzhou, Wang Yu was going to betray Zhao Kai's rhythm.

At the banquet where Gao Qingyi and Zhang Jun celebrated the success of the peace talks, they learned that the Dingbei army had robbed Wuyuan County of Western Xia and recovered Xi'an Prefecture, and everyone was stunned, they were all wise people, and they immediately realized that they had encountered a problem; Yang Zhi was a small test, and the question was whether Western Xia could withstand such pressure.

Yang Zhi's most absolute is the selected time, once the Western Xia can't bear it, if he wants to reverse this situation, he must ask Jin Guo for help, Jin Guo has just signed an agreement with the Great Song Dynasty, if he doesn't admit it in a blink of an eye, Gao Qingyi is undoubtedly the most suitable backbiter. But the Jin State can still attack Hedong without tearing up the agreement, then the pressure will be all on Zhang Jun's side, and the officials in Hedong and Runzhou will accuse Zhang Jun of being deceived by the Jin people and misleading the country.

I didn't expect the celebratory wine to be so bitter, Zhang Jun's feelings were completely different from those before the banquet in the afternoon, at that time, Zhang Jun felt the calmness of accomplishing a feat, even if countless people objected, countless people were indifferent, Zhang Jun felt that he had done one thing, but now, all the eyes projected everywhere were contemptible, making the hairs on his body stand up. The kind of contempt for Zhang Jun is very familiar, when he buried hundreds of thousands of Song troops and returned to the imperial court, the ministers in the main hall looked at him like this.

Xie Kejia stood up with a wine glass, signaled for the song and dance to stop, and said enthusiastically: "I just received a battle report from Shaanxi, and our army has recovered Xi'an Prefecture. ”

The smile on Xie Kejia's face was really from the heart, because the fight between the Dingbei Army and Western Xia only represented one thing, and Taiyuan would not ask about Bianliang's side again, which naturally made him happy. The Xie Ke family does not need to be responsible for the overall situation, there is no sense of embarrassment, and as a literati, the Xie Ke family does not have the frustration of military generals such as Zhang Jun and Wang Shu, so in Zhang Jun's eyes, this guy is really shameless, and he is simply slapping himself in the face in public.

At the banquet, there were still many officials who raised their glasses to celebrate, even including Xi Gunai, who came with Wanyan Zongjie, and after Yan Zongjie talked to King Kang Zhao in the evening, Xi Gunai followed Gao Qingyi to the banquet. Gao Qingyi had a smile on his face, he naturally understood Zhang Jun's thoughts, but the most important thing at the moment was to see what the high-level leaders of the two sides thought, Gao Qingyi said politely: "General Zhang, the Great Song Dynasty can be described as a double happiness." ”

Zhang Jun twisted his body, feeling a layer of goosebumps on his body, Gao Qingyi's smile was more like a mockery in his opinion; Zhang Jun felt that he couldn't stay on this occasion for a moment, and he didn't know what would happen later, Zhang Junqiang smiled and said: "It's time to celebrate, Lord Gao sit down for a while, I want to go and tell His Royal Highness King Kang the good news." ”

"Alas, it is enough to arrange an official for such a matter, why should Lord Zhang go in person; Gao Qingyi didn't talk nonsense: "To be honest, I don't know if Youzhou can approve of my decision with Wanyan Zongjie, and I have always wanted to talk to someone." ”

Gao Qingyi is a professional diplomat, and what he pays attention to is that he will never delay when he takes back his words, and he does not have the slightest scruple about the feelings between the two sides; Zhang Jun's face changed drastically when he heard this; Gao Qingyi's words are that the conditions negotiated during the day today are only the private opinions of Gao Qingyi and the two people, and the possibility of being denied by Youzhou cannot be ruled out. This is a disguised tearing up of the agreement that has not been dry, Zhang Jun couldn't bear it, and said proudly: "That's an adult's business, if Youzhou has a new idea, we don't mind talking about it again." ”

"I understand, I understand. Gao Qingyi said repeatedly: "Please also ask General Zhang to wait for a few days with peace of mind." ”

Gao Qingyi sneered in his heart, Zhao Gou agreed in the agreement to send Wanyan Zonghan and Yinshu back, it was destined that this agreement was just a tool for the two sides to quarrel; if there was no change on the Western Xia side, with the connivance of Wu Qimai, it might be possible for the two sides to continue to negotiate while implementing the terms, but now, ...... Gao Qingyi dared to conclude that Yang Zhineng beat the Western Xia to the brink, and the Western Xia wanted peace, only to ask for Dajin, even Wu Qimai could not go against the interests of the Jurchens.
