After the Jin soldiers surrounded Taiyuan City, the Song soldiers and other troops came to rescue Taiyuan. Sun Yi, a famous general from Hedong of the Song Dynasty, led reinforcements to the rescue of less than 2,000 reinforcements and fought with the Jin soldiers at the city. The Taiyuan city gate did not dare to open. After several days of fighting, the Song soldiers were gone.

Sun Yi died. However, the Hedong prefectures did not stop rescue. The second general of Hedong, Zhe Kexue, deputy general of the Cavalry and Infantry Army of Fuyan Road, led 20,000 troops to aid Taiyuan.

Zhe Keqiu was preparing to cross Tianmen Pass, but Zong Han had already sent troops to guard the pass, so he had to change to Jiaocheng and prepare to join forces with Liu Guangshi. Because Zhe Keqiu traveled with Liu Guangshi's army for a long distance, the soldiers were already exhausted.

Just as they were about to take a break, the Jin soldiers who were waiting to work rushed up to fight for reinforcements, and the two armies fought fiercely north of the Fen River.

Under the impact of the Jurchen cavalry, Liu Guangshi's troops collapsed. He led the army to retreat, ran wildly in the deep rear, and gave all the flanks of friendly troops to the Jin soldiers. As a result, the Song army's horse envoy Han Quan, and Jin Ningluo said he was waiting for death.

The soldiers and generals died and the rescue of Taiyuan failed again. Later, although the Song Dynasty envoy Lu Yundi entered the city to convey the edict to cede Taiyuan, the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan, like Zhongshan and Hejian, refused this humiliation.

The imperial edict.

In April, the Jin Dynasty Western Route Army, which had been in operation for nearly half a year, was becoming increasingly exhausted and poor, and the food and grass were insufficient. Zong Han used the "City Locking Method" to build numerous fortifications to surround Taiyuan, leaving the general Yinshu to continue to siege the city, and he led it.

The main force retreated to the cloud to escape the summer heat.

After Zonghan returned to the north, Yinshuke wiped out the prefectures and counties outside Taiyuan, and used partial troops to seize Wenshui, Xidugu, Qixian, Taigu and Yuxian, and defeated Fan Kui, the local unit of the Song army who rescued Taiyuan.

Wu, Gaofeng's tribe, Taiyuan City is still in danger...

Jianxi carefully walked into the prince's study, which now looked like a combat duty room. There were large maps hanging on the wall, Hedong detailed maps spread on the ground, and half a person-tall files piled up. The long table was filled with intelligence departments and

The information sent by the Military Information Department recently, and the prince slept in the sea of ​​literary works.

"Second Master. It's dawn!" Jianxi sighed and pushed the prince gently and said, "The prince has been busy for another night."

"Oh!" Zhao Qi sat up and rubbed his face and said, "Have the information department's briefing been delivered?"

"Second Master, there is not yet, but the special envoy of Xixia is here again!" Seeing Xi see the prince get up, he hurriedly opened the curtains, blew out the candlelight in the house, and ordered the little yellow sects to serve the prince to wash up.

"No, let them go back." Zhao Qi wiped his face and rinsed his mouth.

"Prince, you should meet me. We closed the court with Xixia, closed the trade routes, and withdrew all the caravans in Xixia. The losses were too great. They were already the third batch of envoys to Qinghe, Dong

We have also snatched Shengzhou back. It’s almost the same temperature as the young ones!” Jianxi said.

"Hmph. How much benefit did you eat them? I'm so hard to tell them about it!" Zhao Qiong looked at Jian Xi and snorted coldly.

"Second Master, the conscience of heaven and earth. I haven't received any penny this time. You must believe me!" Seeing Xi being scandaled by the prince, he felt a cool breeze coming from behind his neck, and quickly swears.

"Tsk. Your words are the same as Dangxiang people, and they are not accurate. I heard that the food in the Guard Brigade is not very good now!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"Oh?! I understand!" Seeing Xi's eyes rolled for a while and understood what the prince meant, he hurriedly said, "That's the matter of Xixia Special Envoy..."

"Xi Xi, the matter here is not a matter of money. We cannot do some things no matter how much we lose. It is related to the national system and we cannot make concessions easily!" Zhao Qiong said solemnly.

"Yes, Second Master, I understand!" Seeing Xi agreed embarrassedly, but this time he had a feud with Xixia, the prince cut off all business dealings and aid with them, and the mansion also suffered at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in losses. This made Jian

Xi was still a little distressed, but now the prince, the stingy Qian Chuanzi, actually admitted to paying for it.

Zhao Qi waved his hand and asked Jianxi to go out to prepare breakfast. He knew very well why Xixia came to the door frequently, but it was not the time to solve the problem. He had to teach the people of Xixia a profound lesson. In fact, Zong Han pulled back from Taiyuan and returned to Yunzhong. Where did he?

It’s about going to escape the summer heat, but about dealing with Dangxiang people.

In order to successfully invade the south, the Jurchens made plans to re-use the land and lure the people of Xixia to come and help, hoping that the people of Xia could constrain the Song army and make them have no worries. How could the greedy people of Xixia let this go

God-given opportunity. But when the Jurchens' military progress was too smooth and the Song people were vulnerable, they regretted the promises they made in the past. So greed encountered cunning. The Xixia people thought that their fists were not as hard as the Jurchens, and their arms were not as thick as others.

I had to swallow my anger and admit defeat.

Li Qianshun and Cha thought they had gotten along with a wealthy man, but they didn't expect that they were a gangster boss. Bai worked for the other day for a long time, but he wanted to ask for a salary and was beaten up. Even the original rental house was also the landlord.

After taking it away, I had to withdraw from Xijing in shame.

At first, Xixia thought that with the subsidy on this land, she could leave the relief of the Song Dynasty by doing some business with the Jurchens. Now, it is the season of spring famine. I want to exchange something for food, but Prince Yan not only

I blocked the door and was preparing to reopen the trade route to bypass them Xixia and no longer share the huge benefits brought by trade with them.

Now Xixia is not only short of food, but also has no salt to eat, so they can only turn to Tubo. But they also took advantage of the situation and offered high prices, which made the Xixia complain. The court officials condemned the two brothers for losing watermelon for sesame seeds and the people.

They had no food or drink, and could not even afford salt. They honestly started fleeing with their clans, and were prepared to rebel.

The two brothers of Xixia seemed to be forced to use force again, but they knew that as long as Prince Yan was in the northwest for one day, even if he was so depressed that he would be able to farm, no one in Xixia would have the courage to fight him.

There was no choice but to turn to the Uighurs and Tubo to use troops, extorting some food and wages from them to overcome the famine. But those people are fighting fiercely with Prince Yan now, and his caravan has opened ports there. Once they use troops to various countries, they will accidentally be

Leave an excuse for Prince Yan to find fault.

All roads are not accessible, and Western Xia can only ask for help from the Song Dynasty. Now the Song Dynasty court is in a state of trouble over the Jurchens. No one has time to pay attention to them, so they can only turn to the "local emperor" Prince Yan in the northwest.

But this time he offended him so badly. King Shu was rejected several times when he came to the door himself. The same is true today, and he has no time!

………

Zhao Qiong had breakfast and moved for a while. Zhao Meng and Zhao Li had arrived. They arrived here in the name of "congratulating the birthday of the prince", but they had been here for a month now. They hid in the study with the prince every day.

I know what to discuss, but as long as there is no order, no one dares to enter the study room.

"Prince, since the edict issued on March 16th, the three troops who came to Taiyuan to help Taiyuan have stopped after fighting a few battles. Now Zong Han has left Taiyuan, leaving only Yin Shuke and Wanyan Loushi two ten thousand people.

The team is a good time to use troops, but they still remain unmoved. Have they given up!" Zhao Meng asked in confusion as he looked at the war report from Taiyuan.

"In theory, General Zhong recovered some lost land in Hebei and entered Shanxi from Jingxing, Hebei to pacify. Yao Gu came from Longde Prefecture, Zhang Hao came from Fenzhou, and went north together. The three armies leaned against each other and supported each other. It should be said that this is a very good thing.

A good military plan is enough to deal with the Jin soldiers and cavalry!" Zhao Li also didn't understand this very much. The three elite Western Army, with so many troops, have been out for two months, and they are just wandering around slowly and consuming in vain

Military pay, food and grass, but Taiyuan lives like a year.

"Do you really think that the imperial guards can rescue the siege when they go to Taiyuan? Don't forget the sentence "The Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible." Zhao Qi smiled and said, because they were defeated by the Kruel Army several times,

The training and equipment of the Loyal and Brave Army are better than that of it, so the Loyal and Brave Army accidentally stood from their own perspective when considering the problem, but forgot that the Loyal and Brave Army and the Kruel Army are unique in this world.

"Oh, the prince said it!" Zhao Meng quickly reacted, "Although the Jurchens have few troops, they have just defeated the century-old grassland power, Da Liao, with many cavalry, strong morale, strong combat power, and good at plains and field battles; but we

Although there are many people on the imperial guards, they have just experienced failure. They have few cavalrymen, low morale, relatively strong combat power, good at city battles, and shorter than plains and field battles. However, this time the rescue is mainly field battles, and it is indeed worth discussing how likely it is to win!

”

"Yes, Zong Han used the "City Locking Method" to dig deep trenches outside Taiyuan City, set up roadblocks, build camps, and surround the city like iron barrels. The imperial guards who lack cavalry, who are good at defense but not good at attacking have broken through layers of the imperial guards, who are good at defense but not good at attacking

Blockade is indeed a difficult thing!" Zhao Li said, "If the Jin army only besieged Taiyuan City with one part, and with its cavalry's advantage of maneuvering, concentrate its forces to attack the whole route and defeat them one by one, this battle will not be optimistic!"

"Yes, this is exactly what makes me worry about. The three divisions of Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao were directly dispatched by the Privy Council, and each was not in charge. They were bound to lack coordination. The marching speed was inevitably fast and slow, which created one by one for the Jurchens.

The fighter jets that were annihilated, and with the usual style of the imperial guards, they would be defeated all the way, which would lead to the defeat of all three ways!" Zhao Qi said with a wry smile.

The distrust of the Song Dynasty for military generals seemed to have reached a pathological condition, which led them to like "sand mixing sand". The soldiers and horses wanted to send seven or eight commanders to command the troops, and they were not related to each other. Four or five soldiers were mixed together, so that they could each other.

Surveillance to prevent mutiny, no one can command anyone. It is left to the Song Dynasty to defeat again and again, but it does not repent. It is really a sin that cannot be survived!

"The prince is right. It's almost two months since the Central Army of the Zong army came to Pingding, but Yao and Zhang troops did not move and did not follow up and support them in time. Zong had to return to Zhending, and did not take the initiative to raise funds.

When he moved, he must be worried that the army would go deeper and would be difficult to deal with it, so he had to come up with this strategy to protect himself!" Zhao Meng nodded and said that the various units of the Loyal and Brave Army were able to win repeatedly and win repeatedly and were inseparable from the unified dispatch of the prince...
