On the Western Xia side, some cities in Wuyuan County were swept up by the Dingbei Army, including the large and small tribes near Xining Prefecture who fled north; Ren Dejing had to ask Lingzhou for guilt, and when Brother Richard left, he repeatedly warned him not to fight, but Ren Dejing did not listen, and on the surface, he repelled Yang Zhi's Dingbei Army again and again, but the military and civilian losses exceeded 100,000, which was a consequence that Western Xia could not bear. Even if Yang Zhi gave up part of the captured territory, Western Xia was in a hurry.

Especially Weizhou, since Zhang Cang's death, it was the heyday of the Western Army that did not capture Weizhou, but this time it was so easy to miss, which means that Qin Fenglu's Dingbei Army has the ability to avoid the Hengshan defensive line. Ren Dejing hoped to relocate the salt workers and the army to continue the confrontation with the Dingbei army in Wuyuan County, but the geographical conditions of the entire region of Western Xia were harsh, and the salt workers were summoned again in the ice and snow to set up the shelves of the salt works, at least a month later.

And the 100,000 army will make the Western Xia in other directions insufficient, the discerning people know that the Western Xia and Yang Zhi fought for two months, losing one-fifth of the country's troops, this proportion wants to make up, almost to exhaust the strength of the country. The voices of the central finger of responsibility and respect came and went, and Xia Renzong and Li Renxiao had to ask the ministers for advice.

Brother Richard, the king of Jin, suggested that the infantry of the Dingbei Army did not care about cavalry, and should not easily fight a decisive battle with Yang Zhi on the plains, creating a blank space between Weizhou and Wuyuan County, and then resume the offensive when all the Western Xia troops were in place; at present, the most critical thing at present is not Wuyuan County and Youzhou, but Hengshan, Hengshan was twice deceived by Yang Zhi into ambushing at the edge, and nearly 30,000 infantry troops, including more than 10,000 infantry troops, were annihilated, and the army of Hengshan was unable to maintain the entire battle line at present.

After five days of arguing, the main battle faction gained the upper hand and decided to increase the troops in Youzhou and other places in an all-round way, seeking an alliance with the Jin State, so that Ren Dejing was lucky to escape the catastrophe. Whether it was the army or salt workers, Xingzhou began to recruit from all over the country, especially those merchants in Wuyuan County, and even demanded that people be sent to Wuyuan County immediately to resume business.

Yang Zhi received the news as soon as possible, knowing that his time was running out, and the one who was most likely to cause hidden dangers was the Dingbian Army. Yang Zhongwu recruited more than 4,000 families of the Qiang nationality and the mountain people of the party in Hengshan, and this group of people was temporarily settled in Huanqing Road, and Yang Zhi planned to wait for the army to capture Youzhou in the future, and then choose a place to relocate, at present, it is for Yang Zhongwu and Lei Heng to carefully identify whether they are sincerely attached; Gao Yongnian's lesson was too profound, when the rebels appeared, Gao Yongnian was handed over to the enemy by his own army to be killed, and Yang Zhi did not want to repeat this scene.

Because the Western Xia had no intention of occupying Dingbian Town again, Yang Zhi asked Qu Tuluo to station in the two villages that were now relatively close to Huanzhou to take a look at the direction of the wind; because of the prominence of Weizhou, the importance of Dingbian Town declined, but it was still necessary to guard against the Western Xia army on the side of Hengshan. Yang Zhi was still a little worried about Qu Tuluo's defensive ability, and after thinking about it, he decided again and again to transfer Li Qi's army from the Huanqing Army to be responsible, so that Qu Tuluo could give full play to the advantages of cavalry warfare.

According to the news from Hebei, Ji Wuliu's guess was not wrong, although there was no clear news of the accident of the good monk, but the good monk had been made to disappear by the Jin State, and those backbones of the Double Dragon Society had accidents in Hebei, either by robbers and killed, or by the Jin State government and arrested on various charges. Zhang's judgment was that the Jin State was eliminating the influence of the Double Dragon Society in order to achieve the goal of the Jurchens to completely dominate Hebei.

The Song-Jin peace talks were underway, and Zhang learned that Wanyan Zongfu was mobilizing troops to prepare for the march to Taihang Mountain, and in addition to informing Taiyuan, he also sent people to inform Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi faced Tao Jin, who came to deliver the letter, and said thoughtfully: "My opinion on the outcome of the Double Dragon Society is not so optimistic, it is true that the monk is also supported by the powerful people of the Jin State, and completely eradicating such a move can easily cause turmoil in the upper echelons of the Jin State, which is actually a negative impact on the peace talks." The assassination of Huang Qianshan is a typical example, and no one can guarantee that the same thing will not happen in the future, so those who are unlucky in Ssangyong will have a high-sounding reason, we just need to watch it.

As for Wanyan Zongfu's move, I think the news of Youzhou is even more crucial; Zhang San has arrived at Feihu Pass, and Wang Ping is a veteran of the battlefield, Wanyan Zongfu should consider a surprise attack and an ambush; however, Wanyan Zongfu must wait for the news that Xixia has declared himself a vassal to the Jin State, and make wedding clothes for the Xixia people in vain, and Wanyan Zongfu will not do it. ”

Tao Jin nodded and said: "The last general understands, but General Wang Yan is now very angry, I heard that Yang Shuai won in Shaanxi, General Wang plans to take the initiative to attack, and will not let the Song-Jin peace talks continue." ”

No wonder Zhang Suo would let Tao come in for a trip, Wang Yan's idea should not be Wang Yan's own idea, it is likely that Taiyuan instructed, after all, once the Song-Jin peace talks are reached, the pressure on Taiyuan can be expected; Zhang Suo knows that he can't stop Wang Yan, and he hopes that Yang Zhi can come forward to stop everything. Yang Zhi couldn't help but shake his head, before the reason for this matter was investigated, he was even more suitable than Zhang Suo to speak.

"Yang Shuai, Master Zhang said that General Wang is likely to choose to do it in winter, and he can't delay it any longer. Tao Jin was a smart and clever person, otherwise he would not have been sent by Zhang, but Tao Jin knew that he was wrong after speaking, because Yang Zhi's gaze suddenly became deep, and that kind of pressure Tao Jin had never felt. Yang Zhi said slowly: "Wang Yan is controlled by Lord Zhang, and he will deal with it according to the rules, so there is no need to ask me." ”

Tao Jin's face turned red, he already knew that he had said the wrong thing, but at this moment, he could only obey the power, Tao Jin tried his best to control his panic and said: "Yang Shuai, I said it wrong." ”

Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you go back and tell Master Zhang that now the war on my side is very tense, and I don't have the energy to take care of things outside Shaanxi, I believe that he can handle the relationship with Wang Yan; ”

Yang Zhi wrote a letter to Zhang, asked Tao Jin to take it back, and instructed Cai Qing to entertain Tao Jin; watching the two go out, Yang Zhi put his mind back on the map on the table, the speed of collecting people in Western Xia was very fast, a large number of salt workers had arrived in Wuyuan County, and the cavalry in Youzhou had also increased by 9,000 horsemen, according to Yang Zhi's judgment, just because the main general was not determined, many concentrated troops in Western Xia were still staying in Lingzhou and other places.
