Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The shells of the artillery were fired, the arrows of the crossbow were empty, even the soldiers' knives and axes were missing, and the iron spears were broken.

Even if a piece of the city wall collapsed, the Jin army still failed to capture the city.

why?

Because everyone is united together, united by this young man in front of him.

Never give in to the Golden Army!

Whenever they see Yu Yunwen, their fighting spirit and hope will be rekindled in their hearts.

"Prefect Yu, I heard that you are ill, so you should go back to rest earlier and leave it to us."

"Yeah, leave this place to us, we all have endless strength!"

Those who spoke were some young men of eighteen or nineteen years old.

The smiles on their faces couldn't hide their exhaustion.

"I'm fine, I still have to work hard for you today."

Not long after, Lu Yu came over and said, "Prefect Yu, you are in poor health, so don't come out for a walk."

"Is there any news about Jin Jun?"

"Multiple scouts have investigated, and the Jin army seems to have disappeared."

"The Jin army really withdrew its troops?" Yu Yunwen asked doubtfully.

"It seems that they really withdrew." Lu Yu said.

"To confirm clearly, don't be careless, it may be a trap set by Jin Jun."

"Then now?"

"Continue to investigate."

At this time, someone suddenly shouted from the top of the city: "Someone is coming!"

A team of dozens of people quickly approached Anbei City.

An Beicheng immediately dispatched a Song army.

After a while, the team was brought back

After a long distance, someone shouted excitedly: "Prefect Yu, the people from the imperial court are here! The people from the imperial court are here!"

"People from the court?"

"The people from the imperial court are here!"

There was a burst of cheers from the top of the city.

"The court's reinforcements are here!"

Some people even had red eyes and wept with joy.

Although it was only a team of dozens of people, being able to come here already represented that the imperial court's reinforcements were not far away.

The person who came was none other than Hu Yin.

Hu Yin is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is in charge of the Dasong Newspaper.

He is a close minister of the emperor, and he came to Anbei City unexpectedly.

When Yu Yunwen saw Hu Yin, he was taken aback. Before he could speak, Hu Yin strode over.

Yu Yunwen was about to salute, but staggered a step, almost fell to the ground, and was supported by Hu Yin: "Binfu, are you okay!"

"Brother Ming Zhong, why are you here!"

"The officials are worried about you, let me come over, the Jin army has retreated."

"Retired?"

"We intercepted Jin Wushu's order to withdraw troops. It's absolutely true. I have withdrawn troops. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here."

When the people around heard the news, they suddenly shouted joyfully: "The Jin army has retreated!"

The voice seemed to be contagious, and quickly spread into the city.

"What! The Jin army has retreated!"

"The Golden Army has retreated!"

"The Golden Army has retreated!"

The soldiers and civilians in the city rushed to tell each other.

Some people squatted on the street and cried, while others hugged each other and wept with joy.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced war to understand their desire for an ordinary life at this time.

The boulder pressing down on Anbei City is gone.

Yu Yunwen let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Anbei Mansion has suffered heavy losses, and I am ashamed of the imperial court!"

"No no!" Hu Yin said hastily, "This time you made a great contribution. The Jin army suppressed 20 troops on the front line of the Yellow River. It is already very good that you can support until now. The next thing will be left to Wu Jie, Yue Fei and others." Han Shizhong and them."

"them?"

"Wu Shuai has already left Yanmen Pass. Yue Shuai's Shenwu Army is currently in the area of ​​Yizhou, the southern gate of Youzhou, and Han Shizhong's Dragon Guard Army has already reached the gate of Liaoyang."

Yu Yunwen was in a daze for a while after listening.

Immediately, his hot tears also came out.

He finally confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

He has always been ashamed of not having this war, and he has been asking himself why he has no ability to defeat the Jin army.

He wiped away his tears and hurriedly asked, "Where's Northwest?"

Hu Yin looked at him and said solemnly: "The imperial court has already started to attack Xia."

August in the 11th year of Jingkang was a major turning point in Song Jinxia's situation.

Yu Yunwen laughed loudly and said: "After all, the minister has lived up to the great trust of the official family."

After speaking, Yu Yunwen's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.

"Prefect Yu! Quick! Where is the doctor!"

The Yellow River front was defended.

Zhao Ning cut a knife in Anbei Mansion. To the east of Anbei Mansion, Wu Jie, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong are carrying out military deterrence against Jin Guo.

To the west of Anbei Mansion, Xia Xia began.

On August 24, Han Chang's main force had already arrived at the boundary of Yunzhou. Given that the strategic purpose of the withdrawal was to support Liaodong, Han Chang had to leave a troop to hold Wu Jie, and the main force continued eastward overnight.

But Wu Jie obviously didn't want him to be safe, so Wu Jie sent an elite cavalry to follow him all the way.

At this time, the royal driver of Zhao Guan's family had also arrived in Tongguan.

Along with Zhao Guan's family, there were also the Praise Japanese Army and the Gongsheng Army.

The mighty banner fluttered in the autumn wind of the 11th year of Jingkang, showing the world the ambition of the emperor.

Chapter 1019 Situation in Hengshan (Part [-])

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone taking down an important military town a hundred miles away.

On August 25, news of Shizhou's fall reached Xiazhou.

"What!" Xiazhou Commander Xiao Heda suddenly stood up and said in shock, "Shizhou has fallen?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhang Song, the staff officer said, "Multiple merchants transported supplies to Shizhou, but nothing came to light. The officer sent scouts to investigate yesterday, only to learn that all the main roads leading to Shizhou have been blocked. It took a small road to reach the outside of Shizhou City, and at this time the flag of the Song Army was already flying on the top of Shizhou City."

"Do you know what it means when this happens?" Xiao Heda looked very ugly. He stared at Zhang Song, as if trying to make Zhang Song admit that he was farting.

Zhang Song's face was not very good-looking, he said: "Shizhou is only a hundred miles away from us. Now that Shizhou has fallen, it means that it took less than two days for the Song army to conquer Shizhou, and it blocked Shizhou in advance. all the ways."

Xiao Heda said: "Not only that, the Song army took Shizhou right under our noses, which shows that Shizhou didn't have time to prepare. The scouts between Shizhou and Yinzhou were also killed by the Song army in advance!"

Zhang Song couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, he was silent for a while, and then said: "That is to say, the Song army has already prepared to launch a war against Shizhou?"

"I'm afraid it's not just Shizhou!" Xiao Heda stared at the map and said solemnly.

"Then you should notify the Jianing Army Commander immediately!" Zhang Song said.

"Write a report, saying that Shizhou has fallen, and Ren Duo has lost his loyalty!" Xiao Heda said succinctly, "Don't scribble about our conjecture just now, just report the result."

"Why is this?"

"Let Li Yu make his own judgment, so as not to use us as a shield in time."

"Yes."

The Jianing Military Division is one of the Twelve Military Divisions of Western Xia. It is located in the hinterland of Hengshan, in the middle of Pingxia, where the richest Xiazhou, Youzhou and Yanzhou in Xixia are located.

Adjacent to Huanqing Road and Yongxingjun Road of the Song Dynasty, it is also the most dense line of defense for Xixia against the Song Dynasty.

The news of the fall of Shizhou was sent to Yuzhou on the afternoon of August 26.

The person stationed at the Jianing Military Division was called Li Yu, who belonged to the royal family and one of Li Qianshun's confidantes.

Li Yu immediately convened a meeting of the generals.

Li Yu said angrily: "My Great Xia has a peace agreement with the Song State, and the Song Army hastily betrayed the peace agreement. I will immediately gather the army and take this opportunity to go east, take back Shizhou, and take back Yinzhou!"

"Marshal, absolutely not." Li Yuyi, the commanding army of Youzhou, said.

"Why?"

"The Song Army's raid on Shizhou must have been prepared long ago. If the Song Army can attack Shizhou, it can also attack Youzhou, Hongzhou, or Longzhou." Li Yiyi expressed the pros and cons of this battle in a few sentences.

Shizhou is a hundred miles west of Yinzhou.

And this Youzhou, Hongzhou and Longzhou are on the north side of Yongxing Army Road, very close to the Dingbian Army, Security Army and Suide Army of the Song Dynasty.

"If our army advances eastward from Youzhou, once the Song army advances from the north of the Great Wall and captures Hongzhou, then Youzhou will be in danger. Youzhou is the hinterland of our Daxia Hengshan defense line, where food, salt and iron are all located. If Youzhou is lost, Hengshan will be in danger!"

When Li Yuyi said this, Li Yu's heart was shocked.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Li Yu couldn't help asking.

Although he belongs to the royal family and has a high position and authority, when it comes to fighting, he is really not as good as Li Yeyi.

Li Yuyi was a native of Tubo. He had served the Song Dynasty and was very familiar with the fortress advancement strategy of the Song Dynasty. Li Qianshun relied heavily on him when Song Huizong surrendered to Xixia.

When Liu Kai's father, Liu Zhongwu, commanded Jingyuan, Yanyan, Huanqing, and Qinfeng four troops to attack Xixia, it was Li Yuyi who broke Liu Zhongwu's attack, causing the Song army to return in defeat.

Li Yuyi said: "There are four things to do now. One is to immediately report back to Xingqing Mansion and inform His Majesty; the other is to send envoys to Shizhou to question the Song army, but in fact to inquire about the situation in Shizhou; Xingjun Road and Huanqing Road, inquire about the situation of the Song Army there, and determine whether this war is a partial attack by the Song Army on us or a comprehensive attack; the fourth is to inform the Hongzhou front to strengthen defense and stop all Song merchants from entering the country. On the one hand, scouts from the Song Dynasty sneaked into our territory."

Li Yu couldn't help but nodded, and then he recovered from his anger and said, "Just do as you said."

On August 27, Zhao Guanjia drove into Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhang Jun, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, went to meet Shengjia near Lishan Mountain in person.

"Minister Zhang Jun, see Your Majesty, I wish you Sheng'an."

"Saint Boon, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony."

Zhao Guanjia opened the imperial curtain and said, "Master Zhang, come up and walk with me."

Zhang Jun got into the imperial carriage and sat upright.

"When was the last time you and I met?"

"It was the Spring Festival three years ago. I will see you when I return to Beijing."

"Three years have passed in a flash, time flies so fast." Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "These days I often think of the strategy you told me to lure the gold army to the west like Shaanxi while protecting the east line, and it's almost over. Ten years."

"Yes, it has been ten years. In the past ten years, under His Majesty's diligent rule, the Song Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. The people live and work in peace and contentment. The court defeated the Jin army many times."

"It's all thanks to you guarding the northwest, so I can rectify the internal affairs with peace of mind, and fight against the Kingdom of Jin in the north."

"I dare not take credit for myself."

"No, Qing is the stone pillar of the country!" Zhao Ning said very politely, "I am here this time to inspect the people's livelihood in the northwest, and I will rely on Qing more to destroy Xia. With Qing here, I will have no worries."

"I would like to smear the ground for Your Majesty."

Zhao Guanjia smiled and said: "Although Xixia is difficult to fight, it should be destroyed."

"Your Majesty Shengming, I have fully prepared the plan to destroy Xia this time."
