On June 23, the fourth year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing led the Huajia Army from Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture to Yanzhou, the capital of Fuyan Road, and met with Liu Minxing, Wang Chong and Xie Lun. At the same time, Yu Yunwen, Li Heng, and even Li An, received a secret letter from Ye Qing almost at the same time.

"Bound Wei and save Zhao?" This is the reaction that Yu Yunwen immediately appeared in his mind after receiving Ye Qing's secret letter.

The secret letter mentioned the Liao princess Yelu Yue, and also mentioned the current real problem of attacking Xia, that is, the 200,000 army cannot eat up the entire Xia Kingdom at all, and the Jin people are about to arrive on the other side of the Yellow River and look across the river from Ye Qing.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult for Yu Yunwen and others to maintain their current advantages. If they want to fight against Jin and Xia at the same time, it is very likely that all the troops in the entire northern region will be in trouble.

"It is said...." Heng Qiao looked at Yu Yunwen with a frown, and hesitated for a while and asked cautiously: "It is said that the relationship between Lord Ye and the Princess of Liao is extraordinary?"

Yu Yunwen glanced at Hengqiao, who was guarding Lanzhou with him. Now this guy has no way out since he left Dasan Pass. Especially after Zhao Fang's Jiangyin Army and Sima Jian's Anfeng Army arrived at Dasan Pass, Hengqiao and his 20,000 troops were like homeless orphans, with even the charge of conspiring to rebel against the court above his head.

But even so, Heng Qiao is still careless in his daily life, and he doesn't care whether the court will hold him accountable for his unscrupulous troops from Dasan Pass in the future, and completely regard himself as a member of the northern army.

Naturally, Heng Qiao's every word and action now made Yu Yunwen quite satisfied and relieved. At least from the contacts in just a few days, he could believe that Heng Qiao was highly praised by Ye Qing's various actions in the Northland over the years, so this guy ignored him as a member of the Northland and regarded himself as a general under Ye Qing, rather than a general of the court.

"Yes, Lord Ye and the Princess of Liao Kingdom are..." Yu Yunwen was speechless for a moment, and didn't know how to describe the relationship between Ye Qing and Yelu Yu. After holding it in for a long time, he slowly said: "Please think it's a friend for many years. In short, Lord Ye now let us attack Xia, let Li Heng change defense to attack, and start to look at Xingqing Mansion. This is enough to show that Lord Ye either plans to force Li An to assist Liao, or... he plans to release an irresistible bait for Temujin, and he has to turn around to attack Xia at this time, so as to join forces with Lord Ye to eat the entire Xia Kingdom together."

"In this way, the pressure on the princess of the Liao Kingdom will be reduced sharply, and it may win a glimmer of hope. But... will Temujin not see this trick?" Heng Qiao asked with some confusion.

"Of course we can see that Temujin and Lord Ye are also friends for many years, and their understanding of Lord Ye is no worse than mine. Even though he knew that Lord Ye's move was to lure him to attack Xia, facing such a great temptation, would you refuse if Temujin?" Yu Yunwen asked with a smile on his face.

"The Liao Kingdom is now the object of Temujin's bag, just one hour earlier or one hour later." Heng Qiao thought for a while and continued, "The reason why Temujin did not attack Xia was to choose to conquer Liao, probably because he could see that Liao Kingdom was better than Xia Kingdom. Now that Lord Ye has restrained most of the attention of Xia Kingdom, if he gave up conquering Liao at this time, or just mobilized some of the troops to attack Xia, it would be true that the Mongols' ambitions would be unfair."

"Mr. Ye has set an example for him. Temujin decided not to lose his courageous morale in front of Master Ye. Now we are attacking Xia and Jin again

, Perhaps in the eyes of others, we are overestimating ourselves and arrogant. But in Temujin's eyes, I'm afraid... it wouldn't be that simple. Lord Ye once said that Temujin had already regarded him as a great enemy in his life, so now that Lord Ye has the courage to use military force against Jin and Xia at the same time. The Mongols who just established the country will never sit idly by and ignore us, and we must have a share of the pie." Yu Yunwen put down the letter in his hand, glanced at Heng Qiao who was still thinking, and sighed: "So, now, you can't guard Lanzhou with me, and lead your army to Jinzhou in the Hexi Corridor tomorrow morning."

"Liangzhou is broken?" Heng Qiao blurted out and asked in surprise.

The Hexi Corridor consists of seven states in the Xia Kingdom, and among the seven states, Liangzhou, is also Tian Lin, Zhong Can, and Mo Xiaobao who rushed to help the past a few days ago, want to win the first checkpoint of the Hexi Corridor before they can reach the city of Jinzhou.

"Yes, Liangzhou has been captured by Mo Xiaobao and others. Now it is attacking Jinzhou. Next, there are Ganzhou, Suzhou, Yumen, Shazhou and Xiping five states. Lord Ye meant to make us step up the offensive. However, in this way, the Xia people will inevitably send more troops to aid, and the pressure will be on Li Heng and Li Zhongfang's side." Yu Yunwen said with some concern in his heart.

"Mr. Ye is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. I believe Mr. Ye must have had a complete solution. Otherwise, how could he take such a risk to attack Xia Kingdom?" Heng Qiao was still quite optimistic, which was quite unfair to his usual careless behavior.

Yu Yunwen shook his head speechlessly and smiled. If Ye Qing was really as powerful as Heng Qiao said, he would not have evacuated from Guguan in person to prevent the reserves from coming.

What's more, even in the war in Xia State, the three armies were already in short supply. After Heng Qiao left Lanzhou, he was the only one left in Lanzhou. He guessed that even Jia She, who was guarding Pingliang Town, would lead troops to support Li Heng, Li Zhongfang and Liu Ke's army at this time?

In this way, he was the only one left in the defense, but he had to be careful whether Han Tuozhou, who had already arrived in Dalizhou, would secretly interfere.

Li Heng, who is in the central defender, instantly frowned after receiving Ye Qing's secret letter, and muttered: "Is Ye Qing crazy? Don't he know that Li An is about to ascend the throne to the emperor at this time?"

"It may be because he knew about this that he decided to turn defense into offense?" Even on the way to assist Li Heng, Liu Ke's army encountered many small troops who wanted to detour to Li Heng's rear, and they all won completely without exception. However, since he arrived at the central defender, Liu Ke's army has been extremely conscious and has never made any moves in using troops again, but has completely handed over to Li Heng to lead the entire army.

"Even so, Jia She, who is guarding Pingliang, should not be sent here. In this way, not to mention Pingliang, even Guanshan has no soldiers to defend. Yu Yunwen lives in Lanzhou, just like us, is beyond the reach of Guanshan. If Xia people bypass us and go straight to Guanshan, then there is no need to fight the next battle." Li Heng shook his head, not agreeing with Liu Keshi's speculation.

Moreover, Li Heng has always been steady and cautious in his military use. He is best at making it difficult for the enemy to cross his level when the troops are disparity. This is why Ye Qing asked him to seize Jingtai from the beginning and guard the central defender.

Ye Qing now lets Li Heng turn defense into offense, which naturally makes Li Heng a little confused. I don’t know why Ye Qing suddenly felt

Abnormal, the original attack and defense of two armies turned into two large-scale attacks.

In the initial combat strategy, Li Heng and Li Zhongfang mainly defended the Central Guard, while Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin mainly attacked the Hexi Corridor. In this way, it was a balanced use of troops and could reduce their own pressure when facing the fierce force of Xia State, so as not to fall into the worst strategy of rushing to advance.

"But Lord Ye will never be eager to advance and violate the military taboo. This must be a reason or an indescribable difficulty." Liu Keshi heard Li Heng say that there was no soldier or a soldier in Guanshan, and he felt a chill on his back. He couldn't help but look back behind him, and then continued to ponder: "But does Lord Ye have other purpose or other difficulties?"

"Whether it is attacking or defending, our front line should not be too wide, so as not to give the Xia people the opportunity to attack our defense. So now that Ye Qing has asked us to attack Xingqing Mansion, even if Jia She is added, it may be difficult to block the Xia people in the open area and bypass us and get straight to Guanshan. Only now, since we want to attack, we can only take a gamble and gather all our forces to suppress Xingqing Mansion, so that the Xia people's army cannot withdraw..." Li Heng bit his lips, and his eyes were red and blood-filled, saying hard.

"Or...why...when the Xiaguan retreated to Pingliang first when Jia She arrived?" Liu Keshi thought of the empty Guanshan, and he would immediately feel cold on his neck, and he would not even dare to imagine that if it was really as Li Heng said, once a small group of Xia people bypassed their defense line and rushed to Guanshan.

"Staying Pingliang means guarding Guanshan, but..." Li Heng looked at Master Liu Ke with a confused expression. He wanted to ask you if you can, but when he said something, he still held it back.

Liu Keshi smiled indifferently. In his opinion, Li Heng's military contempt for him would not make him angry, but instead felt that this should be the case.

After all, he never felt complacent and pretentious because he annihilated a few small teams of Xia people along the way, thinking that he was already both civil and military, and was comparable to Yu Yunwen, Xin Qiji and others.

On the contrary, he always maintained a humble attitude in using troops. Otherwise, he would not have pointed fingers in front of Li Heng since he arrived at the central defender and commanded troops.

Of course, there is also the advice Ye Qing had before sending him to the Central Guard. In recent years, the Song army has always lost more and won less. This is because the military officers and generals coexisted, making it possible to go out multiple schools and become one of the reasons why the Song army was unable to exert its maximum strength.

"Xiaguan has always been lucky. You see, Xiaguan has repelled many Xiamen along the way. Although Xiaguan does not know how to use troops, Xiaguan believes that as long as the soldiers under his command can fight the enemy with all their heart, Xiaguan will be willing to be a decoration in the army. In short, as long as he can win a battle, Lord Ye can rest assured. Xiaguan does not care whether it can play a role in the army. After all, Xiaguan's responsibilities should be in Pingliang Town." Liu Keshi said with a calm look on his face.

"It's probably too late to know Ye Qing now. Since that's the case, when Jia She arrives, you will lead 10,000 elite troops to retreat to Pingliang." Li Heng frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Mr. Ye asked me to start turning into defense to offense, so the troops that can be allocated to you now... 10,000 is the limit."
