In the afternoon, Li Shanqing arrived in Xiongzhou, Li Shanqing came on the order of Wu Qimai, and the change in Zhuozhou can be seen that the Han people of Yanyun began to prepare to return to the south because of their sorrows, and they will surrender as soon as they have the opportunity. Yelu Yanxi won the first battle with the 30,000 army of Li Liangfu, a famous general of Western Xia, and defeated the 6,000 men and horses of Wanyan Zonghan, the general of the Jin State.

  Wu Qimai was worried that there would be a chain reaction, and the Great Song Dynasty took Youzhou first by himself, let Li Shanqing come over, and made an excuse that Liao Tianzuo was still rectifying the army and horses in the desert, and the Song and Jin countries needed to discuss the date of joint troops, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty would send Zhao Liangsi to Huanglong Mansion again to discuss the performance of the contract between the two sides. Tong Guan was dispensable for such a thing, and immediately agreed, letting Zhao Liangsi and Li Shanqing go to Huanglong Mansion, along the way Li Shanqing and Zhao Liangsi talked very happily, thinking that Shuanglong would provide news that the Song army had 10,000 people going west, and found an opportunity to ask.

  Zhao Liangsi told Du Wanche about the decree, and replied casually: "It was the master Dao who took the two armies of Wang Ping and Yang Zhi to the west, preparing to plot with the army of Taiyuan. ”

  Li Shanqing was taken aback, if Wan Yan Gao and the Liaoxia coalition army could not hold each other at Lingye Ridge, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to attack Datong, there was really a possibility of success, Li Shanqing hurriedly arranged for a confidant to go to Liaoyang first to report the matter to Wu Qimai, who should have returned to Liaoyang; Wu Qimai was also taken aback when he got the news, and immediately sent someone to inform Wan Yan Gao. On the third day of the Liaoyang messenger's departure, Wanyan Xiyin had already arrived in Liaoyang and said that Lingyeling had won a great victory.

  Wanyan Lou Room out of the Lingye Ridge, the remaining troops will pull out the speed to resist the danger, he led 10,000 troops to cross Yishui, lined up in a phalanx to break forward; Wanyan Lou Room divided 10,000 cavalry into two teams, repeatedly impacted the Western Xia army, the two sides fought for 30 miles, Wanyan Lou Room led the Western Xia army to Yishui, Wanyan Lu 10,000 ambush soldiers killed, from the back of the Western Xia army to attack. Li Liangfu was defeated, the Western Xia army died thousands, retreated to the wild valley, crossed the stream, the flood came, the Western Xia army drifted and died incalculable, and now the remaining 16,000 Western Xia troops have withdrawn.

  Wu begged for a moment and asked, "When did this happen?"

  "Five days ago. After Yan Xiyin said inexplicably, Wu Qimai smiled bitterly: "This time we are really making dowries for others." The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty made a good move and blocked the news in advance, and now he can only hope that the generals on their front line are incompetent, otherwise the Datong Mansion will fall into the hands of the Song people. ”

  After listening to the details, Wanyan Xiyin sighed: "I can expect that Yunzhong will be regained by the Liao, this vision is really extraordinary, Lord Wang, this matter should not be taken lightly, Seed Master Dao and Yang Zhi are all habitual generals, outside Youzhou City, Xiao Gan and Guo Yaoshi are all defeated in their hands, and we have to make a plan for Datong Mansion to be occupied by the Song people." ”

  After the two sides met, Zong Ze handed over the command to the Seed Master, and at the same time directly suggested that he would allocate 10,000 horses to Yang Zhi and Wang Ping, and expand the two armies to 10,000 horses each. Seed Master Dao naturally laughed at this kind of overture, even if he dared to fight, even if he was brave, he could not be compared with the tiger and wolf divisions like Wang Jiajun and Canglang Battalion, Zong Ze's idea was the best.

  Yang Zhi's recruits were all infantry troops, as well as Zong Ze's eldest son, Zong Ying, who first maintained the 3,000 cavalry of Zhang San, Han Tao, and Kong Yanwei, and Yue Fei was still a 1,000 army of horse infantry and bows. The other six commanders are Chong Bin, Zong Ying, Lu Zhishen, Liang Juewu, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhang Heng, but Gongsun Sheng is divided into Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui.

  In addition to the 10,000-strong team, Yang Zhi took Zhu Wu as a reserve team and incorporated more than 1,000 blacksmiths, people's husbands, doctors, and horsemen into it; the 10 people related to gunpowder brought by Chen Da have now joined Yang Zhi's mansion and are included in Yang Zhi's 200 personal soldiers, but they do not follow Yang Zhi's actions, but cooperate with Bei Songlin and Wei Dingguo to do things.

  Zong Ze brought a large number of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other gunpowder raw materials, after the master of the road prepared to write a book, Yang Zhi instructed Liang Zhan to return to Taiyuan, let Zhao Kai prepare a lot, Zong Ze traveled with all the grain and grass. With Zong Ze's experience, he naturally knew that Yang Zhi was going to make gunpowder, but Zong Ze had doubts about the power of gunpowder, and the seed master said with a smile: "I can guarantee this, the power of gunpowder in Canglang Camp is the only one I have ever seen in my life." ”

  After asking about the situation in Taiyuan, several people wrote a letter to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, after discussion, telling Zhao Kai that the first is to recruit soldiers, and there are no horses in Taiyuan, so they will recruit thieves, and go to various prisons in Taiyuan to requisition bloody veterans and death row prisoners. The letter said that Yang Zhi's idea was that the most critical thing in the battle of Datong was the Western Xia army, once Yelu Yanxi was captured alive by the Jin army and the Western Xia army was defeated, the king of Zhao was likely to defect to the Great Song Dynasty, and the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, could be lured to surrender by becoming brothers.

  The matter had just been agreed, and the scouts came to report that the Western Xia army was defeated in the clouds, but they did not directly withdraw from Datong, but went south to make a detour to Hunyuan County, which should have been to get supplies in Hunyuan County; Seed Master Dao fought a lifetime with the Xixia people, and said with a smile: "It was just in time, we eliminated the Xixia army, we just attacked Datong, Yang Zhi was the front army, Wang Ping followed, I and General Zong Finally, if Yang Zhi wins, Yang Zhi will take Hunyuan County, and Wang Ping's army will go to Yingzhou." ”

  When Zong Ze handed over the map of Yang Zhiyunzhong and Taiyuan, he talked with Yang Zhi alone for a while, and talked about those things in Youzhou back then, about Xiao Rang, a scholar who fell off the list, and Song Jun's two fine craftsmen, Haiqing and Muji; Zong Ze said to Yang Zhi: "We found a clue, someone made a deal with Yanyun Palace, this deal was very large, and it took as long as five years before and after, and the lurking personnel of the Great Song Dynasty in Liao and Western Xia were almost swept away. ”

  Yang Zhi frowned and said, "Since it has been swept away, no one should know about this matter now, and the news released by Yanyun Hall may not be true." Was it provided by Copper One?"

  In Yang Zhi's impression, only Tong Yi joined the Imperial City Division and could provide news of Yanyun Palace, but if this is the case, it should be Shi Mojie who asked himself, not Zong Ze; Zong Ze shook his head and said: "It's not Tong Yi, I contacted Meng Yue through Chao Gai, and he was already in Taiyuan; Chao Gai went to the Great Desert Temple, but this kid really looks like a monk now, and he doesn't want to be the abbot." Meng Yue meant, if the person who had an accident in Youzhou at that time was alive, he would probably flee to Datong Mansion, and we could find out who made a deal with Liao. ”

  Yang Zhi has no opinion: "If there are clues in this regard, I will investigate it." ”
