Chapter 621

On this side, Master Zhong slowly walked forward under the protection of more than a hundred personal cavalry, and arrived about twenty steps away from Liang Yiji and then turned over and dismounted.

"Sinner Liang, I have seen General Zhong..." Liang Yi took a deep breath and bowed deeply toward the soon-to-be-walking Master Zhong.

Master Zhong took a few steps and helped Liang Yibi up, looking at the man who had been wishing to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, don't have to do this. Although you and I were their masters in the past, Zhong still admired Mr.'s talent and military strategy very much. I hope that in the future, you and I will be ministers in the same palace and do our best to serve our master."

"I missed me, Liang, for decades, have been loyal to Xixia and wept and wept, but in the end I was harmed by traitors. Now the emperor also regards my Liang family as an enemy, and insists on killing the Liang family. Liang is already discouraged..."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the large number of confidant generals behind him. Liang Yibu cleared his throat and said with emotion again. "My old Liang, what's the harm even if he dies? However, I don't want the brothers behind him who have followed Liang for many years to suffer misfortune because of Liang's faults..."

Mr. Zhong smiled and nodded slightly from time to time, even expressed his praise for Liang Yibing's noble character who was devoted to the brothers around him.

He also read out the letter from the Shaanxi Road Strategic Pacification Envoy, Privy Councilor, and Longtu Pavilion Scholar Su Dongpo, and told Liang Yip and his heroic soldiers who were willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and rebel against Xia and Song to express their affirmation and approval.

He also told them that the will of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would soon arrive at Shaanxi Road. At that time, they would definitely be given certain treatment, so that they could feel the warmth of the Song Dynasty court. After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, even if they no longer became officials, they would definitely enjoy their wealth and enjoy their lives.

Of course, the Song Dynasty would definitely choose some loyal talents who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Song Dynasty from among these outstanding talents who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and contribute their strength and responsibilities to the Song Dynasty.

In addition, the content of the handwritten letter from Han Zhongchan, the second-in-commander of the Privy Council and the deputy envoy of the Shaanxi Road Staff, was similar.

With these two famous officials all over the world as their guards, I saw the harmony of the generals and generals such as Zhong Shidao, which finally made Liang Yi and the generals surrendered to the Western Xia generals feel relieved.

After that, all the work of recruiting and surrendering began to be carried out. However, what made Zhong Shidao very pleased was that most of the surrendered troops were Han people, so there were no obstacles in language communication. More importantly, both sides were Han people, and many of them were descendants of Han people who were captured and plundered to the Western Xia when they were from their fathers or grandfathers.

Coupled with the repeated explanations before Zhong Shidao came again, the handover work seemed very smooth. After Liang Yibi's troops handed over their weapons and equipment, they voluntarily withdrew from Hongzhou City to show their sincerity.

However, in addition to leaving some officers to appease the surrendered soldiers with the Song army, most of them stayed in the city. As for Liang Yibu and Huyin and General Wen Qi, several surrendered generals, were invited by Zhong Shidao to participate in the military discussion to show the Song Dynasty's kindness and kindness towards them.

Liang Yibi even took the initiative to report to Zhong Shidao what happened inside and outside Hongzhou after the mutiny was launched, as well as the current situation of the entire Jianing Military Office.

"Sa Chen... This person has never heard of it. However, since he was able to be the commander of the Xixia State and wanted to seize Hongzhou, it shows that this person is quite capable, but he should not be as good as Mr. Liang..." Mr. Zhong nodded and smiled, stroking his long beard.

The reason why Liang Yibi was called Mr. is naturally because they have surrendered to the Song Dynasty and the past official positions of Xixia could not be allowed to continue to use them. However, the appointment of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has not yet been completed, so they can only call it this for the time being.

The information provided by Liang Yibu also made Zhong Shidao alert. After all, although the Song Dynasty was unstoppable, it took Yanzhou and returned to Liang Yibu to offer the Jianing Military Office to the Song Dynasty. This was definitely a rare great news for the Song Dynasty.

However, even if the Western Xia is now unable to compete with the Song Dynasty, and may not be able to retake Yanzhou and Jianing Military Offices, no one can guarantee it.

Especially the Northern Liao guy is eyeing him. Over the past decades, he has been secretly controlling the battle between Western Xia and Song Dynasty, leaving the Song Dynasty with no strength to fight the Northern Expedition. Now, Western Xia has lost its troops and generals and has lost a large area of ​​territory. If this continues, it will continue.

It is very likely that the Western Xia will no longer be as brave as it used to be and become a weak country. At that time, the Song Dynasty, which had no one to restrain it, will inevitably take action against the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, Bei Liao will definitely react to deal with the situation that is forming in front of you.

#####

The Song Dynasty seized the Jianing Military Office formed by Youzhou and Hongzhou, which was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Xia and Longzhou of Xiangyou Military Office in the southeast of the Western Xia, and Yin and Shizhou of the Left-Chang Shenyong Military Office and Xingqing Prefecture.

Moreover, to the east of these four prefectures are the Jinning Army, Linzhou, Prefecture and to the south, the Suide Army and Yan'an Prefecture. To the west, naturally, the Youzhou, Hongzhou and Yanzhou, which have become the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The two military commanders now have about 80,000 troops. If these 50,000 troops are allowed to cross the river safely through the ancient city of Wuyan, it will inevitably increase the strength of the Xixia people in the four prefectures.

It increases the difficulty for the Song Dynasty to capture these four states in the future. Moreover, when the opponent's troops are concentrated, it will make the Song Dynasty in a dilemma.

"...So, Liang thought that it would be best not to let them cross the Wuding River and enter the four states easily."

Liang Yibi's analysis was deeply understood by Zhong Shidao. However, now there are about 40,000 surrendered soldiers here. Although there are 40,000 soldiers under his command, they must not be transferred away.

After all, I had to rush to Youzhou, and then put the territory in the north under the rule of the Song army, and there were also places for various forts. I am afraid that the 40,000 troops under my command were still a little insufficient.

Now it was really the turn of Zhong Shidao to be in trouble. He did not want the 50,000 Xixia soldiers and horses to cross the Wuding River so easily, but he really didn't dare to use the 40,000 troops under his command as the main force to attack the opponent.
