The Western Xia concentrated an army of 200,000 and marched south, and the Western Xia army was commanded by Rya Gongji, with Ren Dejing, Ren Decong, Wu'er Siqi, Mou Ning Keren, Mu Wei, and Raida Gongji commanding the army and attacking by separate routes; several generals in the court vowed to recapture Xi'an and Weizhou. Anyone knows that Brother Richard was deprived of military power by Xia Renzong because of his opposition to sending troops, and Western Xia currently has a maximum of 400,000 troops in the country, and once these 200,000 people make a mistake, Western Xia will not be able to bear the weight and lose the strength of the Dingbei Army in a short time.

The fierce horn sounded in the sky, Helan Mountain, the desert, and Lingzhou...... The battle flags of the Western Xia army fluttered everywhere, and groups of cavalry rushed out of the cities, tents, and villages, and swept towards Youzhou under the command of officials and generals; Mou Ning Keren and 10,000 cavalry dispatched from Xingzhou were marching in the southeast direction, galloping from the direction of Dingzhou, and the knights on the horses looked exhausted.

The knight saw the banner of Mouning Keren, saluted on his horse and said: "The two tribes of Dingzhou, Changlang and Fu'er, rebelled and captured Dingzhou City. ”

"What?" Mou Ning Keren almost couldn't believe that Dingzhou City itself was not a big city, and the significance of Dingzhou was more about garrisoning troops and deterring the surrounding tribes; Dingzhou was only more than 100 miles away from Lingzhou, and it was still in the northwest of Youzhou, so if something happened, Youzhou would be a lonely city. With a wave of his hand, the Western Xia army stopped advancing in the wilderness, the fluttering banners almost obscuring the sky, and only the occasional neighing of war horses was saved.

Mou Ningke, dressed in green armor, turned majestically to face the three armies, and said loudly: "There is a rebellion in Dingzhou, we will temporarily change the direction, and first focus on annihilating the rebels in Dingzhou. ”

The deputy general, Quan Dingxiong, stroked his willow beard under his chin and dissuaded: "General, Wuyuan County has the first military intelligence, since the rebels have captured Dingzhou, it is expected that it is for the supplies for the winter, and nine times out of ten they will loot and flee, and it is a bit inappropriate for us to go." ”

"What if the two tribes of Lu Lang and Fu'er have already taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty like the Mubo Tribe, and specialize in robbing and transporting materials?" Mou Ningkeren, who was born in Hengshan, knew that all the tribes swayed between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, which was nothing more than where the interests lie, that is, within the Qiang tribe, even if they enjoyed the same treatment as the party members, they still had their own plans; seeing that Quan Dingxiong was stunned, Mou Ningke pulled the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head, whipped the horse stock and shouted: "Go ......

The war horse neighed, and as the smoke and dust rolled up behind Mou Ningke, the horn of the Western Xia army resounded in the sky, and 30,000 Western Xia soldiers gathered into a rolling iron stream and swept towards Dingzhou. Mou Ning Ke Ren rode his horse and galloped, inexplicable enthusiasm rolled in his chest, the rebellion in Dingzhou will eventually become a stepping stone for him Mou Ning Ke Ren and this army, and then behind, there are Wuyuan County, Weizhou, Qingyang Mansion, Qinzhou, and that damn Chang'an.

With the news of the messenger, the Manchu civil and military forces in Xingzhou quarreled, and Xia Renzong Li Renxiao discussed for two consecutive days, but still could not reach a unified opinion. The forces in the Western Xia Dynasty were mainly divided into three factions, and the magnates on Richard's side were now hanging high on their own merits, with a strong advocate of immediate extermination of the rebels, and a moderate advocate of surrender negotiations.

In the midst of this chaos, there were fast horses entering Beijing, and they learned that the Dabin tribe in Youzhou and the Shuqing tribe in Suizhou had already risen, clamoring to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone was dumbfounded; Yushi Mou Ning Guangzu came forward and said: "Since there is such a call, then these rebels are attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and they must be regarded as all the Song army annihilated." ”

Su Zhiyi, the secretary of the household department, and Bari Zuren, the head of the military department, all expressed their positions one after another, agreeing with Mou Ning Guangzu's view; Li Chongyi, the imperial lieutenant, was a member of the imperial family, and said cautiously: "Once Suizhou and Dingzhou become battlefields, the people will not be able to live in peace." ”

Xue Yuanji, the commander of the Xingzhou Army, said indifferently: "Inform Ren Dejing and others not to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, and wait for Mou Ning Keren, Mu Wei, and Wu'er Siqi to quell the rebellion in the three places." ”

Xue Yuanji is a famous general in Western Xia, Li Renxiao nodded when he heard this: "Just do what General Xue said, let Mou Ning Keren, Mu Wei, and Wu'er Siqi go first to quell the chaos, and the 80,000 army of Hot Gongji will be postponed." ”

Li Chongyi knew that it was useless for him to say anything now, so he simply didn't say anything; just after the court was dispersed, Li Chongyi was depressed, and invited the privy deputy envoy Gao Kongfeng, the third envoy Mao Sihe, and the servant Yunlang to gather. After three rounds of drinking, Li Chongyi was actually a little drunk, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed; after Richard Getuo was not sick, Li Chongyi was obviously a little passive and slack in the face of the hard-liners' aggressive posture.

Gao Kongfeng's brows couldn't help jumping, as a party nobleman, Gao Kongfeng has studied Chinese since he was a child, so he gave himself a name that sounds like a Han person; in Gao Kongfeng's eyes, Li Chongyi is far from being comparable to Richard Brother, at most he is just a stable person, and the reason why Gao Kongfeng is willing to associate with Li Chongyi is only that he hopes to keep the right to speak on his own side of the DPRK and China when Richard Brother is away.

Gao Kong naturally didn't want Li Chongyi to lose his sharpness, so he respectfully persuaded: "Tai Lieutenant doesn't have to be discouraged, as long as the rebels are destroyed, the army in front can naturally free up their hands to deal with Yang Zhi." ”

The waiter Yunlang Huan echoed: "What Lord Gao said is extremely true, we can't do anything at this moment. ”

Yun Langhuan was afraid that Li Chongyi would deliberately make problems for the hot Gongji, so a few of his own people would sit on wax, completely contrary to Brother Richard's orders; Li Chongyi sighed and said: "How could I not know, but if the tribes of the three places are really connected with the Great Song Dynasty, how can Yang Zhi sit back and watch them have an accident? The emperor left the army of the hot and hot Gongji not to send it, and he was also afraid that the crusade would fail, so he left himself a back hand. ”

How could the army's crusade fail, Xia Renzong was afraid that other tribes would follow suit and there would be a new riot, so he made a backstop; Yun Lang Huan's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice, "For the sake of Great Xia, some things can only be taken one step at a time. Forget it about defeating the Great Song Dynasty this time, in case something happens, you still need the royal family as the mainstay, but I'm afraid that it won't be an opportunity at that time. ”

This is the heart disease of several people, if the 200,000 army wins, the credit belongs to Ren Dejing and others; if the battle is lost, then the Western Xia will already lack confidence, can it really settle accounts after the autumn and push the already chaotic state affairs into the abyss?
