Zhang Yong looked at the sky in the distance and sighed. He knew that there would be no peace there at this moment.

But when can we resolve the affairs of the king and win the reputation of our ancestors and others? It is so difficult. Zhang Yong saw the scene after the wars passed. The ground was full of chaos outside the city after the attack, and the same was true on the city.

There were many corpses of soldiers from both sides who were too late to carry away.

Those corpses were between the two armies and neither side dared to collect them, otherwise the bow and arrow would make them lose their lives.

At this time, Jian Yumei saw Li Yuanhao leading his troops and running away at this moment.

He was full of anger and must win and seize the city of the Song Dynasty.

Song Dynasty army, you are not my opponent. If I lose this time, it does not mean I lose next time. I must capture the city I want to capture. The warriors of my Daxia Kingdom are invincible, and Li Yuanhao is furious there. .

Zhang Yong was standing on the city tower at this moment, secretly worried about the distance.

But soon, a few days later, news came that Fengzhou was occupied by Li Yuanhao.

Zhang Yong sighed.

He could imagine that the Song army in Fengzhou City must have been killed by the Xixia people.

In addition to craftsmen, most of the men in the city were killed.

The fate of those women in the city is probably even more miserable at this moment. They probably have to be ruined by the Xixia people and taken back to sell or distributed to various Xixia places.

Zhang Yong closed his eyes. He knew that as a general, he could not protect the border, protect the people, protect the lives of men and women, and was not a qualified general.

He remembered the general who was guarding Fengzhou, and Zhang Yong sighed.

At this time, news came soon. Li Yuanhao's besiege of Linzhou was blocked, and the Linzhou defenders resisted tenaciously, and Li Yuanhao could not attack the city.

But after Li Yuanhao could not attack Linzhou, he surrounded Linzhou and sent troops to grab grain everywhere. After all, the last time he fought, he could not withdraw his troops because the food and grass were cut off in winter. Moreover, Li Yuanhao continued to remove Lin. The camps of the Song army between the prefectures and prefectures, and those camps connecting the two cities were almost wiped out by Li Yuanhao.

At this moment, the two cities cannot look at each other, and Li Yuanhao's meaning is to defeat each other.

But Zhang Yong knew that he had to hold on to the death, and he was ready for everything.

He ordered all soldiers to be careful in their duties and to behead all those who do not prepare for war seriously, and those who do not obey commands will be killed.

All the soldiers were trained. Whether it was the combat troops or the logistics troops, in addition to the necessary part of cooking, preparing logistics supplies, weapons and equipment, they all picked up swords and guns to replenish the combat troops.

A general mobilization was carried out throughout the city, and the men urgently sent weapons and were incorporated into the combat troops.

Except for some of the women who were weak and left to concentrate on taking care of some children, most of them were organized into the army. They replaced many men's logistics and cooking tasks, including the task of transporting military supplies, so that more men could enter the combat troops. .

At this moment, the whole city is a large military camp.

Zhang Yong knew that the Song Dynasty was too prosperous, so the people were not strong, so the rising foreign race could often defeat the Song Dynasty's army.

But if the Song Dynasty really took action and the whole nation was full of soldiers, it would have won those barbaric nations.

But at this moment, Zhang Yong knew that from the emperor, they all lived a luxurious and comfortable life, and they would not want to become a large barracks in the country.

He sighed, he knew that he could do his own thing well.

That is, the prefectures you guard must not be left to Li Yuanhao.

At this moment, General Wang Shuang, who was guarding Linzhou, also had the same idea. He defeated Li Yuanhao's attacks many times in Linzhou.

At this moment, it is winter coming again.

At this time, the imperial court had a lot of debates, such as whether to give up the cities outside the river and concentrate on protecting the cities in Hedong, etc., but there was no result.

Because some people advocate retreating and not cities outside the river, because those cities are not only difficult to defend, but also allow the enemy to destroy our living forces. It is better to abandon them and preserve cities in Hedong.

Some people advocated that they should not withdraw, because once they were withdrawn, the overall situation would be shaken. The result of the enemy getting these important fortresses was that the Song Dynasty's own strategic base was forced to move backwards, which would not work.

Everyone was fighting in the court, just like Han Qi was going to attack Xixia at that time, and there was no specific story in the court.

Seeing the ministers in fierce debate, Song Renzong felt that this made sense and that said it made sense.

It would be troublesome if there were too much reason. Song Renzong was a little depressed on the dragon throne. He missed his beloved concubine very much. Maybe she could give herself the clearest idea at once.

At this time, a minister spoke, "Your Majesty, it seems that the argument is fruitless. Otherwise, I would recommend one person to guard the two cities, prefectures and Linzhou, which we have not lost outside the river, Trying to defeat Li Yuanhao, even if he loses, it will have no impact on the overall situation. This person volunteered himself.”

"Such a talent is really in danger. Who is willing to volunteer to go to the front line," said Song Renzong.

"This person's name is Zhang Kang, and his talent is very strong. He has always had the talent of a general. I know him. He has stayed in front and has also learned in-depth about Xixia. At this moment, he voluntarily volunteered to go to the front line. If he went, , I believe there will be a reward," said the minister.

"Okay, I know this person. I have heard of it before. It is rare that he can volunteer at this moment. Since you have also tested his abilities, let him go," said Song Renzong.

"Thank you, your Majesty," said the minister.

"Then I will issue an order to let General Zhang Kang handle the military affairs of Linzhou and Prefectures, and all the soldiers on the front line obey his command," said Song Renzong.

Song Renzong secretly prayed in his heart at this moment, hoping that the Song army would definitely win.

Because although the Song Dynasty has many talents, there are a lot of talents in its own court, and I don’t know how many outside the court.

But if you use the wrong person, it will be very dangerous.

I have to be careful, Song Renzong sighed.

But soon, a few dozen days later, news came from the front that Zhang Kang arrived at the front line and purged the state of the army ahead, and his morale was very high.

Then the enemy lost one after another in the prefectures, and Zhang Kang commanded the army to fight wits and courage with the enemy, causing heavy losses to the Xixia people.

Then Zhang Kang built five fortresses, all between Prefecture and Linzhou, and then worked hard to garrison them so that the two states would no longer be defeated by the enemy in a lonely state.

In a few days, good news came from the front. Zhang Kang defeated the Xixia army in Jianning Village, and the Xixia army began to retreat.

"Talent, talent," said Song Renzong.

"It seems that I am a great Song Dynasty, and I should be able to be worry-free," said Song Renzong.

At this moment, the concubine in his arms was acting coquettish.

"I said at that time that there was no need to worry. Sure enough, I, the Song Dynasty, have many talents," said the concubine.

"Yes, my beloved concubine, I have many beauties in the Song Dynasty. Come on, let's have some intimate feelings," Song Renzong smiled.

At this moment, Li Yuanhao was on his way back to the army.
