But Li Yuanhao's army did not come. He Zhen, his envoy, came. He was servile and panicked and afraid of entering Yanzhou City, which brought Li Yuanhao's pain - be good, please tell me something to your Majesty. I was beaten so much that I knew I was wrong, I... I want to get back together.

Well, Fan Yong listened very carefully, and then used Confucian classic theory to confirm the thinking. He thought this matter was very reliable: We are ****, and the barbarians in the small country rebelled for a while, and they would naturally wake up. When they woke up, they were still good comrades. Based on the principle of magnanimity and education as the main focus, Li Yuanhao should be given a chance to be a new person. So Fan Yong highly rewarded the envoy of the Western Xia and asked him to go back and tell Li Yuanhao: There is hope for reconciliation, and what you have to do now is to continue to show your sincerity in surrender...

Sincerity has arrived: many people from Xixia escaped the border and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and strongly demanded to live and work in peace and never go back. As for the place of settlement, Yanzhou City dared not expect too much, but I really wanted to be closer to Mr. Fan, so they all chose Jinming Village.

Let me talk about Jinmingzhai and its garrison Li Shibin. It makes sense that the Xixia people chose him. He is also a Dangxiang person, which makes the Xixia feel very belonging. But his loyalty to the Song Dynasty was unquestionable since his father Li Jizhou. Since Song Xia got into evil, he has made Li Yuanhao himself depressed many times.

Both Dangxiang people, can they come back? Li Yuanhao sent someone to Jinming Village with a large sum of money to communicate with each other, but Li Shibin cut off his money, but the money was left behind.

Li Yuanhao then sent someone to bring more money, plus the official Xixia clothing, and then went to Jinming Village, but he deliberately threw everything away on the way. The place where the thrown was very particular, and it was the territory of the deputy director of Fuyan Road at that time, and Li Shibin's immediate superior Xia Sui. How about it? In addition to money, there is also an official, and Li Shibin is about to betrayal!

But Xia Sui just didn't believe it. I know who Lao Li is. Another point is that the strength of Jinming Village is destined to its price. Jinming Village has 100,000 soldiers and is the strongest fortress on Fuyan Road. Li Shibin himself is known as the "Iron Wall Gong" as the iron wall at the forefront of Yanzhou City. The most important thing about it is called "Iron Wall" is that Li Shibin and his son guard Jin Ming for two generations, and the soldiers under his command have become real direct descendants and veritable Li family army!

Facing the Xixia people surrendered and had to move in, Li Shibin refused without thinking. His way was to move all the surrendered people into the mainland, then disperse and place them, and break them into pieces. But the problem is that Mr. Fan Yongfan, the highest military and political chief of Fuyan Road, was in a very good mood: Li Yuanhao surrendered, and the Xixia people defected in a large number of them, and the situation suddenly became clear. Li Shibin, what about your courage? No matter how many people come, you will accept them all! Just put them in your Jinming Village! Isn’t there a total of 36 sub-cities in Jinming Village? Each village is a little bit dispersed, isn’t it the same as scattered in the mainland? And there are still travel expenses left, which strengthens the strength of Jinming Village!

Speechless! The layman insisted on leading the experts. But... Li Shibin actually agreed... This was certainly affected by the basic national policy of "using culture to control martial arts" in the Song Dynasty, and it was also due to Li Shibin's overconfidence.

The confidence accumulated by the two generations of the Iron Bird and the son made him look down on Li Yuanhao at all. Since the Song and Xia got into evil, the Western Xia soldiers have appeared near Jinming Village. Li Shibin waved his sword and rode out, and basically could only see the backs of the Dangxiang cavalry. Those people ran and shouted - When the Iron Bird and the Iron Bird arrived, our courage fell to the ground! This happened a lot, and Li Yuanhao's recent combat achievements made Li Shibin despise the other party very much...

So as Lord Fan wished, and as Li Yuanhao wished, a large number of Xixia people were scattered and placed in key areas in Jinming Village...

On the night of January 17, Jinming Village, which had just finished the Chinese New Year's Day, was still immersed in the festive atmosphere. Li Shibin and his son Li Huaibao were patrolling the villages. That night, he came to Huangdui Village and was safe. That night, Li Shibin lived here.

In the early morning of the 18th, Li Shibin was awakened by a sirens. He intuition called for a horse, and he could only go to fight with a horse. But the fatal thing was that after riding out, he realized that it was a bad horse that could not run!

The Iron Bird was betrayed by his subordinates in his camp! He could not run and failed to command, but was captured alive by the enemy. It was not until this time that he discovered who the opponent was. It was the war madman, the Emperor of Xixia Li Yuanhao himself! In this battle, all the 100,000 elite troops in Jinming Village were wiped out, and it was not unfair.

The reason for being wronged is because of such consequences. The real person responsible is not him, but Mr. Fan! It is not wrong. As a border general, you have been fighting for generations. You don’t understand what Fan Yong doesn’t understand? Why don’t you object to the end? The impregnable Jinming Village is full of spies, which were disintegrated from the inside! Also: This time, Li Yuanhao led his army to raid, entering from the Tumen on the border. Jinming Village is nearly 300 kilometers away from Tumen, which is definitely not something you can get there overnight. Can’t even Zhuzhai, which has both masters and secondary attacks and defenses, even Zhuzhai, even remote warnings?

It was too late to say anything. On that day, Li Shibin and his son fought bloody battles, and Li Huaibao died on the spot. Before being captured, Li Shibin did something crucial to the entire battle situation. He sent his confidant to flee to Yanzhou City immediately, one to escape, and the other to report military information to Lord Fan: the people of Xixia have entered, and Jinming Village has been compromised... But he never dreamed that this was the biggest mistake he made in his life, and the tragic consequences were thousands of times more serious than the destruction of Jinming Village!

Fan Yong should have known the news of the invasion of the Western Xia. The evidence is that before that, he ordered Fu Yan, Deputy Huanqing to deploy Liu Ping, and Deputy Fu Yan to deploy Shi Yuansun to kill the Tumen, which is the entrance to the invasion of Li Yuanhao's army.

But when Li Shibin's mother and wife miraculously escaped from the chaos of thousands of troops and fled all the way into Yanzhou City. Fan Yong knew the criticality of the battle situation at the first time. Fan Yong's reaction was to refuse to believe it. But then the Western Xia cavalry appeared at the city of Yanzhou, and Fan Yong immediately cried.

Therefore, although Li Shibin lost Jinming Village, he reported the message in time and fought bravely to the last moment. He had already fulfilled his duties as a soldier of the Song Dynasty. But the question was who he sent the news to? Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng were all the same as Zhao Heng. Their reaction was not that Mr. Fan, who was white in hair and beard and sage, hugged his subordinates and cried loudly! After crying for a long time, Fan Yong began to exercise his power and responsibilities. He ordered all the troops that could be mobilized on the Fuyan Road to gather in Yanzhou City immediately! No matter where you are, what you are doing, come and save me immediately!

As a miracle, his order was sent out from Yanzhou City. The messenger crossed a few hundred kilometers to the border of Songxia, which was the entrance to the Tumen where Li Yuanhao invaded this time, and handed over the reinforcements to the two generals Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun.

These two generals led their troops to the Tumen to intercept Li Yuanhao. Unfortunately, the news was a little late, and Li Yuanhao had already rushed into the hinterland of Fuyan Road. After receiving the order, the rescuers were like putting out fires, and the two of them immediately led their troops back. However, Liu Ping's headquarters was originally Qingzhou, and he had marched for four days before, and rushed to the security army, where they met with Shi Yuansun, and the two armies merged to kill the Tumen. At this time, I would like to rush back, and I asked three questions:

First, the degree of fatigue. This is the first lunar month of the northwest. How much does it take to make their combat effectiveness by running back and forth like this?

Second, the number of people and horses. This is an extremely strange point. The Song Dynasty recorded Liu Ping's military strength: three thousand! And the troops they had after they joined the other three generals: more than ten thousand! In other words, the military strength of the two of them should be only about five thousand! The Song Dynasty was known as one million imperial guards, so why did the two deputy commanders of the military region fight, and there were only five thousand soldiers, and there were still mixed infantry and cavalry? This was not explained in all historical books!

Third and most important point. Have you ever thought about the two generals? Li Yuanhao had surrounded Yanzhou City at this time, and how far is it from Yanzhou to Tumen, and how brave Fan Yong's messenger must be able to travel through thousands of troops and hand over the reinforcements to you?

On the 20th, they returned to the security army. Faced with all kinds of difficulties, Liu Ping inspired his subordinates to "go to the forefront of the people, and to scatter the fire and fire, let alone the state affairs." No matter what, they had to rush to Yanzhou, save our commander and annihilate Li Yuanhao!

After that, he marched with all his might. On the night of the 22nd, he arrived at the periphery of Sanchuankou. It suddenly started to snow heavily that day. In the cold winter, people were trapped and horses were exhausted. Liu Ping decided to rest here. The camp site was 10 miles west of Sanchuankou. After all, Yanzhou City was about to arrive, and the war was about to begin, so the army must be breathed.

At this moment, he suddenly received Fan Yong's second urgent report. He ordered them not to rest, and quickly set off and rushed to Yanzhou overnight. In order to prevent the Xixia people from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city, he asked him to break the team into pieces and enter the city in batches. The military orders were like mountains, so Liu Ping had to do as he did. After releasing 50 teams in a row, he suddenly realized something was wrong! There was no reaction at all in front of him. His army was like missing, and he found that the messenger was missing. He was fooled! Liu Ping reacted instantly.

Unable to rescue. Liu Ping could only stabilize the remaining cavalry and rested in the camp 10 miles west of Sanchuankou, quietly waiting for the arrival of the infantry behind. The night passed like this. After dawn on the 23rd, the infantry still failed to catch up. Liu Ping decided to retreat the entire army. The battle was ahead and all the strength must be gathered!

After going back 20 miles, we met infantrymen who were rushing around day and night. The only good news was that the troops suddenly increased by several thousand, which were Huang De, the chief supervisor of Fuyan Road, and two thousand, inspector Wanqizheng, and Guo Zun, the inspector of Yanzhou West Road. They were also recruited by Fan Yong from the garrison. Now they met Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun at Sanchuankou.
