Chapter 991 Xiping House

Liu Ke, who is in Pingliang Town, has been busy recently. He has to take charge of all the complicated and complicated logistics matters in person. In addition, he also needs to send officials to appease the people's hearts. Therefore, Liu Ke's current army is almost equivalent to Yu Yunwen's deputy envoy. He reported to Yu Yunwen and immediately asked him to start implementing it.

But after Han Tuozhou arrived in Lanzhou, Liu Keshi instantly felt a cool breeze coming from behind his neck, and was deeply afraid that Han Tuozhou would suddenly inspect Pingliang Town in the name of the court, and then snatch the power from his hands with him.

Although he is now a senior official with the fourth rank, he is not a powerful official in front of the current left prime minister Han Tuozhou. But now he is the most powerful official in the entire Xia territory, except for Yu Yunwen.

So once Han Tuozhou arrives in Pingliang Town, and points fingers in front of him, or asks his followers to cooperate with him to calm the people's hearts, he really has no way to do anything.

After all, they were the left prime minister of the court after all, and whether it was Ye Qing, Yu Yunwen, or his Liu Keshi, they are still nominally officials who obeyed the Song court's orders.

After explaining the instructions in the past six months, after some dispatches from several officials trained in Pingliang Town, Liu Keshi, who had always liked to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, immediately led two hundred guards to escape, preparing to change to other places to avoid the limelight.

Li Heng, Li Zhongfang, and Jia She didn't have to worry much about it, let alone Zhongwei, Jingtai, and Xingqing Mansion, which was in the process of peace, even after taking it down, Li Heng was guarding and appeased, and the several officials he sent yesterday should be enough to deal with the nobles and royal families of the Xia Kingdom.

So Liu Keshi, who had a little thought, turned his attention to Liangzhou. According to his plan, he started from Liangzhou and went west, inspected all the way, and finally arrived at Xiping Prefecture. In this way, it could not only avoid the difficulties that Han Tuozhou might make things difficult for him, but also be able to calm down in Xiping Prefecture and do something that might happen.

Liangzhou and Jinzhou all the way, whether it is the Chongcheng Ganzhou, Yumen, or the sandbank closest to Xiping Prefecture, they were carefully inspected by Liu Keshi during the past month.

Ganzhou is naturally a top priority. As an important source of war horse supply, Liu Keshi naturally attached great importance to it. Although it was already a cold winter season and the entire northwest was desolate, when looking at the horses, cattle, sheep, and even taller camels in Wuyang, Liu Keshi instantly felt a sense of passion.

On October 10, 2018, when Liu Ke set out from Shazhou and followed the convoy of food and supplies to the front line, he finally received the news about Xingqing Mansion that he had thought of.

Li An, who had seized the throne from the Emperor of Xia Kingdom Li Chunyou for only three months, finally led Su Dao and Xia Chen out of the city to surrender, opened the city gate to welcome the Song army into the city.

On October 11, the fourth year of Shaoxi, Liu Keshi arrived at the city of Xiping Prefecture and watched Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin attack Xiping Prefecture again. At this time, Li Heng had already led the Song army into Xingqing Prefecture and occupied the palace. Li An and others were also imprisoned in the palace.

The Song army began to appease the people and accept the entire city defense and the surrendered army of the Xia people. The entire Xingqing Prefecture began to impose a curfew under the order of Li Heng. Anyone who dared to go out to the streets would be killed without mercy.

"The Song people captured Xingqing Mansion." Qiu Chuji didn't even care about the etiquette that the Mongols began to rise. Facing the heavy snow, he plunged into the tent of the Temujin King and said anxiously: "It suddenly started to snow a few days ago, which hindered our marching speed. In addition, the remnants of the Xia people have been resisting tenaciously. We still...attack or not attack Xingqing Mansion?"

In the silent Mongolian tent, most of the generals who followed Temujin to fight in the east and west almost at the same time turned their eyes to Qiu Chuji, whose cheeks were cold and red, while Temujin sat behind the desk without saying a word.

"Ye Qing's great enemy has been around for a while." Temujin was silent for a while before speaking in a deep voice.

At first, Ye Qing led Temujin to attack Xia Shi. Whether it was Temujin, the generals on both sides of the tent, or Mu Huali and Borshu, they actually thought about the possibility that Xingqing Mansion would let Ye Qing take the lead.

But even so, whether it was Temujin or Qiu Chuji, even Mu Huali and Borshu, who had been in the territory of Liao Kingdom, had always been in the unstoppable territory, had always had a lucky idea in their hearts, that was, they were still 70% sure that they could capture Xingqing Mansion before Ye Qing.

But in the end, because of the sudden heavy snow, they lost all the opportunity to capture Xingqing Prefecture before the Song people. Instead, they were war with the Sixteen Supervisors of the Xia people, and finally made a wedding dress for Ye Qing, reducing the pressure on Ye Qing to attack Xingqing Prefecture.

If Temujin had not been tempted by the situation of domestic strife in Xia, then Ye Qing would never have attacked Xiqing Prefecture so easily. Even if he attacked Xingqing Prefecture, as long as the Xia people still held the Sixteen Supervisors, they would be able to calmly deal with the offensive of the Song people. Li An, who had successfully usurped the throne, would never have left the city to surrender to the Song people so quickly.

But the final result was that Temujin helped Ye Qing restrain all the troops of the Sixteenth Supervisor, giving the Song people the opportunity to take advantage of it and seize Xingqing Prefecture in one fell swoop.

The grassland guarded by the Sixteen Supervisors of the Xia people is not uncommon for the Mongolians. After all, there are countless vast and fertile grasslands behind them, and they do not even care about this grassland of the Xia people.

Naturally, they hoped to get a share of the pie in the battle between Xia and Jin, that was to capture Xingqing Mansion, the city they valued the most.

Whether in the eyes of the Mongols or the Song people, Xingqing Prefecture was not only a place that military strategists must fight for, but also in the fact that the Xia people were the forging of weapons and armor, the reason why Temujin was most jealous and wanted to take it for himself the most.

Once the Xia people had the siege, weapons, armor and other equipment, Temujin could make his battle strategy more flexible after conquering the Liao Kingdom. However, after losing the opportunity to occupy Xingqing Prefecture, everything would be forged with their own hands, which was obviously far from the quickness and convenience of plundering.

"Ye Qing is not resentful, then don't blame me for being unrighteous." Temujin clenched his fists and pounded it on the table. A thump in the quiet tent, as if it was hitting everyone's heart, scaring everyone, including Qiu Chuji, couldn't help but shock all his body.

"Closing Kedun City immediately, and no Liao people are allowed to enter Xiping Prefecture from now on, especially..." Temujin raised his head, his cheeks covered with ashes. After pausing, he continued: "Search closely for the whereabouts of the princess of Liao, Yelu Yue and the remnants of Wuli Army. No matter who it is, as long as you catch her, you will reward a thousand cattle and sheep! Ten thousand taels of gold and silver!"

When Temujin helped Liao with Ye Qing, he was the slave of the gods of Ye Qing, Que Shi Lie, and Su Dao passed through Xiping Prefecture of Xia Kingdom, and then entered Kedun City on the border of Liao Kingdom. So when Temujin decided to attack Xia with Ye Qing, he had already begun to order people to go south and seize Kedun City on the border of Liao Kingdom and Xia Kingdom.

Even Qiu Chuji didn't understand why Temujin did this and why he didn't travel west and took the Liao Dynasty's Royal City. Now it seems that Temujin did not hesitate to slow down the pace of conquering the Liao Dynasty's Royal City and wanted to take over the only Kedun City, which is now the only Liao Dynasty can enter Xia State, which is planned to be premeditated.

Temujin had a backup plan from the beginning. Although he didn't know whether a woman was so important to him in the eyes of a hero like Ye Qing, Qiu Chuji always believed that Ye Qing was definitely not the words of a ruthless person, and in the end he made him determined to capture Princess Liao Yelu Yue alive no matter what.

As for whether he could threaten Ye Qing, Temujin didn't know, Qiu Chuji didn't know, but no matter what, for Ye Qing, as long as Princess Liao was captured alive by him Temujin, Ye Qing would be somewhat afraid of being a little afraid of it.

The atmosphere in the Mongolian king's tent seemed very serious as if he had lost a battle. At the city of Xipingfu, Liu Keshi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. So far, he only saw the fierce fighting that made his legs weak, but he did not find where Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin were.

So at this time, Liu Keshi was in the somewhat empty siege camp of the Song army. Whenever he saw the Song army soldiers, he immediately asked him to hold the sleeves of the other party and asked anxiously: "Are there any Liao people in the camp?"

"Have you seen Liao people's business travelers in the past few days, or was a very beautiful woman passing by?"

"Are there any large number of Liao people coming from Xiping Prefecture?"

"Do you know if there are Liao people in Xiping Prefecture?"

The entire camp was about to be reviewed by Liu Keshi, but everyone he asked was silently shaking his head. I wonder if this adult was mentally ill. Now the siege battle is going on outside. He doesn't go to the front line to supervise the battle and support him, and he is actually looking for a woman here!

"Where are the three generals Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin now?" Liu Keshi looked at the gate of the camp in despair, grabbed the arm of the soldier who was wailing on the stretcher, and asked anxiously again.

The soldiers on the stretcher were unable to answer his words at all, and their entire attention was on their wounded legs. Instead, the civilians carrying the stretcher looked at Liu Keshi, and then pointed to the battle in front of him with their chin, saying, "The three adults are all attacking the city, and under the commanding flag is here."

After saying that, he ignored Liu Ke's army and carried the wounded soldiers and ran to the camp quickly.

Liu Keshi looked at the direction he pointed at the chin. There were many flags of the Song army, densely packed like the sound of fighting in his ears. It was impossible to determine which one was the real handsome flag.

"Is this... Is it true that I will go to the battlefield again?" Liu Keshi was so anxious that he scratched his head. He looked at the two hundred personal guards behind him, then looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Go, rush into the battlefield with me immediately and go find someone."
