"Mr. Li is so polite. I don't dare to take it!" Gao Chong quickly lowered his head and was humble.

"Gao Chong, are there any obstacles to peace talks with Xixia? If there is any difficulty, just tell me if I can help, I will definitely help!"

Gao Chong and Qu Duan looked at each other and couldn't think of a solution to the food, so someone would support him! Isn't it true that he, Xi Gong, dare not give face to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Thank you for your help. Now we can deal with the rest ourselves, but after the war, the crops withered, and only the shortage of food and grass is needed. I hope you can help solve it."

Li Ruoshui was stunned and said, "Isn't it enough to find Lord Xi Gong?" Then he saw Qu Duan, remembering the rumors between the two and laughed, "Okay! Don't worry about this matter anymore, I'll go find Lord Xi."

"Thank you, Lord Li, for your help!" Gao Chong finally let out a long sigh.

After the imperial edict was announced, Li Ruoshui did not leave, but patrolled Xi'an Prefecture. Qu Duan also happily handed over the Zhenrong Army to Gao Chong, and he almost went alone to serve as the strategic envoy of Jingyuan Road.

The governor and the governor were the governors and the military commander. He was the second-ranked figure on Jingyuan Road. Speaking of which, the Zhenrong Army was also under his command, Qu Duan is now a real senior official.

Xi'an Prefecture had just been recovered, and Gao Chong was very busy. Li Ruoshui watched him and Xixia exchange prisoners, then resettled everyone, allocated land, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

After all, Xi'an Prefecture is a frontier. It has just been recovered and everything is still managed by militarized. Moreover, all young men from 15 to 45 in Xi'an Prefecture will join the army. Now that the farming season has passed, Gao Chong ordered all people in Xi'an Prefecture to go to the government to receive labor and then exchange for food.

Even women, young and old, were all arranged to work as much as possible, even if they were washing clothes, digging wild vegetables, and carrying sand and soil, they could be exchanged for food.

Li Ruoshui felt that Xi'an Prefecture was like a giant and his whole body was moving. Although the sparrows were small and had all the internal organs, their reaction speed was much better than that of the imperial court of the Song Dynasty.

If the response speed of the Song Dynasty was so fast and the operation of the court could be so unified and efficient, why worry about the immortality of the thief? The official family is a promising wise king. I would recommend this to him, which will definitely make the Song Dynasty rejuvenate its youth.

With a hurried look on his face and beautiful yearning, Li Ruoshui hurriedly said goodbye to Gao Chong, stood up and returned to Kaifeng.

Gao Chong finally had less matters, so he quickly wrote a letter to his family to report his safety.

Zhending is already a little panicked now. Without Gao Chong so many generals, it seems that they have no backbone. Fortunately, Li is calm enough to stand up and maintain the stability of the Divine Guard Army.

At this time, Gao Chong's letter was sent back, which finally made everyone feel relieved. Li immediately decided to spread the entire army and celebrated it vigorously, congratulating Gao Chong on his promotion to the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, the State Administration of Trusteeship, and the Military and Military Strategy Envoy.

The three armies were all happy when they reached this news, and the situation quickly settled down. Now Zhongshan Prefecture has been besieged by the Jin people, and Liu Ziyu has been recruiting troops in Zhending to rectify the city defense. Wuxian also organized a team of cavalry and kept harassing behind the enemy, making the Jin people unable to invest all their troops to attack the city, and the battle was in a stalemate.

Soon it was July of the second year of Jingkang, and Taiyuan had been surrounded for more than 200 days. Although it had been a brief recovery, it was surrounded by the enemy before it was replenished.

The city had reached the end of the end of the country. Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Bing led the Taiyuan army and civilians to defend themselves. From early spring to summer, from summer to late autumn, the Jin soldiers attacked the city nine times, and were repelled by Wang Bing nine times. However, there were no reinforcements from the court, nor did they receive food. The food in the city was cut off, and the defenders were so hungry that they could not help their weapons.

All the cattle, horses, donkeys and mules in the city were eaten, and then the beef tendon on the bow and the cowhide on the armor were stewed over high heat to satisfy your hunger. All the green leaves on the trees in the city and the bran in the grain warehouse were eaten up, and gradually even the bark, grass and water were used as food.

One day, Wang Jin ordered his subordinates to slaughter his war horses to satisfy hunger in the city. The guards dissuaded: "How can you meet the enemy if you don't have a mount?"

Wang Bing sighed to the sky: "I can't defend Bingzhou City. Even if I have a wealth of thousands of yuan, what's the use? Pull it down and kill it!"

How long can war horses be eaten? In a few days, the horses in the city and the leather on the saddle were eaten up.

Zhao Huan also knew the importance of Taiyuan, so he organized the Song army to rescue Taiyuan again.

The second rescue of Taiyuan by the central government of the Song Dynasty was very aggressive. He ordered Liu Wei, who was in the capital, to station him as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong. There was also the Jieqian unit stationed in Qin County, the Zhe Keqiong who stationed in Wenshui, and the Fan Qiong unit stationed in the north and south gates. He planned to encircle and annihilate Wanyan Loushi and Yin Shuke's exhausted troops alone with their superior forces.

I remember that Tong Guan, the eunuch who was favored by Song Huizong, had tens of thousands of personal troops in his hands, but Zhao Huan was not as good as his father. In such a major military operation that concerns the survival of the country, Liu Yu's request for a memorial to join forces to command in one place was rejected. As a Xuanfu Liu Yu, the generals of all walks of life, had the name of restraining all the armies but were not restrained. All the generals directly obeyed Song Qinzong, who was far away in the capital, and they were both independent and disagree with each other.

There was no way, Liu Wei had to ask Gao Chong, who was transferred from Xi'an Prefecture, to send troops to help. Zhao Huan believed that Xixia had already negotiated and there was no war, so he did not refuse to agree happily, and asked Gao Chong to take the Zhenrong Army to rescue Taiyuan.

Gao Chong frowned when he received the order. Xi'an Prefecture had just settled down and was about to leave again.

He summoned all his subordinates, announced the orders of the officials, and at the same time decided that Li Yanxian would be the principal in charge of Xi'an Prefecture and would take full control of all things in Xi'an Prefecture on his own behalf.

Wu Jie was the chief of military and national affairs of Xi'an Prefecture and was responsible for the military affairs of Xi'an Prefecture. Yang Zhi was the general manager of the military and horses of Xi'an Prefecture, managing the army of Xi'an Prefecture.

The three of them were also very excited. Although they were not appointed by the court, their rights were really not small, and they suddenly entered the ranks of middle-level officials.

"Yes! Please rest assured, we will definitely take Xi'an Prefecture for you!"

The three words "Old" were deliberately strengthened their tone. Gao Chong laughed and said a few words, please! Then he clicked 5,000 Zhenrong Army to go to Taiyuan.

The Zhenrong Army had a total of more than 10,000 people, and Gao Chong took away only one-third; however, Xi'an Prefecture, with the newly recruited army, there were more than 10,000 troops, which was enough to deal with some emergencies.

With the cooperation of Li Yanxian, Wu Jie and Yang Zhi, he believed that even if the Jin soldiers fought, they would have the power to fight.

According to Gao Chong's plan, they first entered Linfu Road and advanced to Zhe Keqiu. He and Zhe Keqiu had a good relationship, but they could cooperate well.

However, in order to wash away the shame of the last time, Zhe Keqiu made a lot of his head and took the 20,000 troops from Linfu Road to set off early.

Although Gao Chong did not see Zhe Keqiu, he met Zhe Yanzhi. The name Zhe Yanzhi was named Zhonggu and the other name was Jiezhi. He is from Hexi Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, and is the seventh-generation general of the Zhe family in the Song Lin Mansion. He is both civil and military, and his father Zhe Keshi.

When the Jin army attacked and opened the feudal seal, they led their troops to serve the king with Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong, and fought with Jin soldiers in Nanguan, Huanghe and other places. Later, they served as the Minister of Privy Council, and worked together with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others to fight the enemy. They always felt that their family background was loyal and loyal, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains.

Zhe Yanzhi was a loyal, brave and patriotic general. He was repeatedly denounced but did not change his original intention. He can be said to be a member of the general's family style. Unfortunately, his luck is not good, and Zhe Keqiu's consequences have not received the attention of historians for a long time.

Even the "History of the Song Dynasty" also missed its biography, which is a pity. Zhe Yanzhi was born at the wrong time and failed to show his life's ambitions based on what he learned in his life. Today's man Han Yinsheng sighed: "I am empty in my skills and careers to help the times, and I am in vain to worry about the sincereness of the country." It should be a theory of being a soulmate. This is a truly famous minister who has been forgotten by history.

Zhe Yanzhi also heard his father talk about Gao Chong. When he heard that he had arrived, he hurriedly brought people to greet him.

After the ceremony was over, they talked about going to rescue Taiyuan. When Gao Chong heard that Zhe Keqiu had left, he exclaimed terrible.

Zhe Keqiu was puzzled and asked quickly: "Master Gao, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Gao Chong sighed and said, "The old man is getting stronger and stronger. He has always wanted to make contributions to the country and wash away this shame. His mentality is no longer stable. This is a taboo in military strategists. I am afraid that he will definitely be greedy for merit and make progress in this trip. Wanyan Loushi is cunning, how can he give up this opportunity? I am afraid that the old man will have many dangers when he goes."

"Hiss--" Zhe Yanzhi took a deep breath of air conditioning. He actually believed Gao Chong's words. Before leaving, his father held the belief that he would succeed and led his troops to leave in a hurry. He said that he might have fallen into the enemy's plan.

"What should I do?" Zhe Yanzhi was already a little confused.

"Don't say anything, let's set off quickly, maybe we can catch up with Mr. Zhe!"

Zhe Yanzhi agreed deeply, so he quickly ordered 000 people and joined Gao Chong to go all the way to his father.

Wanyan Loushi did not take the fierce enemies to heart. Although these Song troops were crowded with people, except for Zhe Keqiu and Liu Wei who came over with the army, the others did not obey the command and were quietly watching.

Wanyan Loushi ordered the general Yin Shuke to take the army to attack Liu Wei, while he and his son Wanyan Huo Nu will deal with the rapid advance Zhe Keqiu.

Gao Chong was indeed not wrong. Zhe Keqiu walked quickly all the way through Jilanzhou and Tianmen Pass. He met Wanyan Huo's girl with Jin soldiers guarding her and turned to Songziling. As a result, Guozha, who arrived in Wenshui County, was ambushed by Jin soldiers. After a big battle, he suffered heavy losses and had to move closer to Zhang Hao's army in Jiaocheng.

Zhang Hao is the son of Taiyuan garrison Zhang Xiaochun. He is also a more active way to rescue Taiyuan. The distance is relatively close, and it is also their only way out.
