Historically, Yanbo's reputation in the Chinese language was not bad, but it was only because Song Dynasty had no powerful enemies at that time, and the roots of Song Dynasty were still rotten, so a courtier like him has always been at ease.

But if there is a strong enemy ahead of time, his approach will be of no benefit other than helping Song Dynasty to speed up the subjugation of the country.

Such a person is sometimes three points more terrifying than the enemy.

Fortunately, Gu Le joined Su Shi in advance.Of course, without this prerequisite, he would not be able to leave the northern border alive.

Gu Le returned to Xixia first, and was treated like a returning hero.This is the light of Li Yuanhao. He wants to use this to tell the warriors under him that even if you lose to the Song people on the battlefield, you don’t have to be afraid if you are captured by them. As your king, I will find a way rescued you.

Look, isn't Gule the best example?

Of course, the premise is that you cannot surrender at will, at least you must fight until you are exhausted.

As long as you are willing to contribute enough strength to the strength of Xixia, as the king, you can be protected from death.

If Li Yuanhao wanted to achieve his goal, he had to exaggerate Gu Le's achievements infinitely.This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After Gu Le returned to Xixia, his status rose, so he met many important people in Xixia.

It was Gu Le who found out about Xi Xia's secret increase of troops to the northern border.He felt that the matter was important, so he found the contact person Su Shi had arranged by his side, and spread the news.

It is very far from Xixia to Xincheng, and it needs to be transmitted by a base station in the middle.However, Su Shi had attached great importance to Gu Le before, and had arranged for black knights to contact people thousands of miles away in advance. They were holding walkie-talkies and were always on, which allowed news to be transmitted to Su Shi at the speed of radio waves. here.

This is the advantage of powerful technology. Originally, even if it was expedited by eight miles, it would take six or seven days for the information to be delivered to Su Shi after just a stick of incense.

Su Shi has been too lazy to comment on Wen Yanbo as a licking dog, and now he is thinking about Xixia sending troops to the north.

When the two sides are at war, it is normal for either side to give support.But this time, what is abnormal is the secret dispatch of troops.

Send troops just send troops, why keep secret?

Is this afraid who knows?

Su Shi fell into deep thought.

It's just a pity that Gu Le is still in contact with those important people in Xixia for the first time, and he can only get a general idea of ​​some news, and he doesn't want to ask more about the specifics, otherwise it may arouse some people's suspicions.

"The Mongolian army will send troops, and Xixia will send troops too. If I am not guarding here in Xincheng, will the Liao Kingdom also send troops?"

"The three countries all want to increase reinforcements, and the goal is just to capture Xincheng?"

"If no reinforcements show up in the current Xin City, it will surely be breached sooner or later."

"Even if it is already in the bag, why send additional reinforcements?"

"Does a lion fight a rabbit with all its strength?"

"Bullshit, how proud the three clans are, they don't worry about what kind of storms Xincheng will cause without reinforcements. That is to say, what they worry about is not Wang Deyong and Wang Xin in Xincheng."

"It's not Xincheng who is worried, it can only be reinforcements from outside."

"Foreign aid? From the direction of Bianliang City?"

"No, one of Fan Zhongyan's new policies was disarmament, and he first took the area around Bianliang City as an experiment. After Huang Gaoyi took away [-] reinforcements, he couldn't mobilize too many reinforcements in a short period of time. .”

Su Shi sat on the wheelchair, his mind was constantly flashing, analyzing the possible results.

The reinforcements were not from Bianliang City, Su Shi was thinking, could it be to deal with himself?

But soon, he rejected it again.

If you want to deal with yourself, the Mongolian reinforcements should not go to the west of the northern border, but should go directly to the east and kill you here.

It's not Bianliang, and it's not me, so where could it be?

Western Army!

Yes, it must be the Western Army.

At this moment, Su Shi suddenly figured it out. Only the most elite Western Army in the Song Dynasty could be the target, which could explain why the Mongols would send [-] additional reinforcements, and why Xixia had to choose a secret method when sending troops.

This is to kill the Western Army.

This is to push the Song Dynasty in the direction of extinction.

The most powerful thing in the Song Dynasty is that in addition to the 30 imperial guards, it is the 40 Western Army, and then the 30 Northern Army.

Of course, there are 50 troops of the Song Dynasty facing the sea in the east, and millions of troops of the Song Dynasty in the south.

This is the distribution map of the more than 200 million troops in Song Dynasty today.

Now, the 30 troops in the northern border have been completely dispersed.There are more than [-] Song troops in Baozhou and other places to the east, but they are all a radish, and they cannot move at will.They stayed where they were, also to prevent the Liao army from going south.

The west of the northern border is now smashed to pieces. There were only tens of thousands of troops left in the original more than [-] troops, and they are all trapped in Xincheng, unable to move.

The Northern Army is now entangled, and the 30 forbidden troops in Bianliang City cannot move around.

Besides, the combat effectiveness of the 30 imperial troops is still unknown.

At least, the performance of the tens of thousands of reserve troops sent this time was not very good.

In addition, based on Su Shi's understanding of the elders in the court, unless Bianliang City is in danger, otherwise, the 30 forbidden troops will not be mobilized.

In other words, the northern border was crippled and scattered; the 30 imperial troops were also frightened and unable to move.All of this, I can see it myself, and there are some far-sighted people among the three races, and they can also see it.

Therefore, they set their sights on the 40 Western Army.

Yes, that must be it.Only then did the Mongolians increase their troops by [-], and Xixia secretly sent additional reinforcements.

Like peeling cocoons, Su Shi synthesized the information from all parties and finally came to his own conclusion.

Thinking about it, I had received news before that Wen Yanbo went to the West to reach an agreement with Xixia, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.Only in this way can the Western Army have enough strength to send troops northward to solve the siege of Xincheng with confidence.

Hehe, how ridiculous it sounds.Fighting with Xixia in the north, but negotiating peace with Xixia in the west, do you really think the Xixia people are stupid, they will agree to these unreasonable demands?

This was Su Shi's idea before, but now he has to change.

Not to mention, Wen Yanbo might have made things happen.

This is not to say that Wen Yanbo's mouth is so powerful, but that this result is also what Xixia needs.

For a long time, Xixia has been spying on the Song Dynasty. Whether it is a large land, abundant resources, prosperity and wealth, the people of Xixia are coveted.

Wanting to swallow an elephant with a snake, and wanting to win the Song Dynasty to strengthen themselves, this is the purpose of the Xixia people, and they have been working hard these years.

For this reason, the two sides do not know how many wars took place.

But they were blocked by the elite Western Army.

For the Western Army, Xixia must have been eager to eat meat, but his strength was not as good as others, and there was nothing he could do.

I tried many times, but I couldn't eat Xijun, so I had to think of other ways.For example, what about borrowing the power of the Mongolian and Liao troops to eat the Western Army?

Just like this time, they agreed to a truce, which would allow the Western Army to go to the Northland to relieve the siege of Xin City, and then at this time, the three clans would attack the Western Army for reinforcements.

Once the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was also defeated, there would be no obstacles for Xixia to enter the Song Dynasty. This should be the reason why they agreed to the peace talks.

"Okay, it's a good idea, and it's really beautiful. And there are people like Wen Yanbo actively cooperating. Not to mention, things really have a [-]% chance of success. And if the Western Army is also severely damaged, I'm afraid history will Rewriting, it is not impossible that the Great Song Dynasty will appear one step earlier when it becomes the Southern Song Dynasty."

Su Shi said with a sigh, but then murmured to himself, "It's just that you can take me Su Shi seriously. If you ignore me, you will have to pay a heavy price."

At this moment, a smile appeared on Su Shi's face, and then he saw him shouting, "Lou Yang, call all the generals to gather."

Su Shi decided to get involved.

Come to a praying mantis to catch the cicada oriole behind.

Su Shi has no ability to change some people's decisions now, even if he reports his analysis results to the imperial court now, he may not get any results in a while.

When those gentlemen make a decision, the day lily will probably be cold.

If you can't change the process, then change the result.

Su Shi wanted to join the battle, and he wanted to go back outside Xincheng to join the battle.

Just imagine, when the three clans used Xincheng as a bait to lure the Western Army of the Song Dynasty to appear, encircle them and injure them, and suddenly Su Shi came out from behind, what kind of scene it would be.

At this moment, Su Shi was looking forward to it.

Before that, Su Shi had to settle the matter in front of him, that is, the Liao army who fought doubted life, and the Liao army who fought did not dare to go south.

This is tantamount to solving a major problem first.

Before, Su Shiming knew that Zhang Jian was under Qigou Pass, but he didn't order the army to attack. He thought that he could entangle more Liao troops here and prevent them from increasing troops in Song Dynasty. Then look for fighters.

Now that the opportunity to fight has been revealed, he certainly won't hesitate any longer.

......

Qigou Pass.

It has been raining for three days.

During the period, there was a burst of moderate rain, so that the road was muddy, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to move.

Just yesterday afternoon, the rain finally stopped.

Zhang Jian, who was hiding at Qigou Pass, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After one afternoon plus one night and one morning of sun exposure and strong winds, when it was finally possible for vehicles and horses to pass on the main road, Zhang Jian rushed straight to Fan Yangcheng first.

A batch of emergency military rations from Zhongjing City had already arrived in the city, and he was going to receive them.

Before leaving, Zhang Jian called Sun Wenfu, the leading general. "I'm going to Fanyang City to receive supplies today. Now that the heavy rain has stopped, you have to command the army to retreat in an orderly manner. It's best to leave at night, so that Su Shi won't find out. There are still [-] troops left , we must bring them all back to Fanyang City safely."
