Chapter 624
"Don't worry, General Zhe, Wang set out with General Zhe and rushed to Hongzhou." Hearing General Zhe's words, Wang Yang nodded in agreement and replied.
"It seems we have to go to the night road for another night." Zhe Keshi also happily accepted the order and stepped out of the hall with Wang Yang and rushed to the army to set off. He couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay as long as you can get to Hongzhou and have a good rest. After all, General Zhong's situation is a bit bad at this moment." Wang Yang nodded.
"Your brother, don't worry too much. If it were other border generals, even my uncle, I would be a little worried, but if it was the one who was Zhong Shidao, there would be no need to do anything." Zhe Keshi said confidently.
Rather than saying that he is confident, it is better to say that he is full of trust in Zhong Shidao, the number one general in the Northwest Frontier Army.
"Even so, we should rush over as soon as possible. After all, if the tens of thousands of Xixia troops traveling through Yanzhou start to mess up, it will definitely cause General Zhong to be very worried."
#####
By the morning of the next day, 17,000 Song Iron Cavalry had already appeared in the west of Hongzhou. When Zhong Shidao learned of the arrival of this elite Iron Cavalry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, the troops in his hands were at least not as bad as before. And with the arrival of this nearly 20,000 Song Dynasty cavalry.
Some of the Xixia soldiers who were originally ready to move in the camp outside Hongzhou City were extinguished.
At dusk on the day when Wang Yang and others arrived, Han Zhong and Mr. Han finally led an army of 20,000 to the city of Hongzhou.
After Han Zhongguo arrived in Hongzhou, he immediately met Liang Yi and other surrendered generals and comforted them.
With nearly 40,000 troops entering the country, the Song Dynasty's troops were already much more sufficient. At this moment, news came from Yuzhou in the north that Li Mao had handed over control of Yuzhou.
According to the military orders before Zhong Shidao, the generals sent out sent out two thousand soldiers and horses to accompany the tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers to Hongzhou.
In order to prevent the surrendered soldiers from happening again, it is naturally the safest way to send these tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers to Hongzhou to join the surrendered soldiers.
However, even though the Han army and the Fan army have always been the trump card in the hands of Liang Yibu and were loyal to him, his surrender to the Song Dynasty also caused many people in the army who were unwilling to join the Song Dynasty.
On the way to Hongzhou, even if he had added more restrictions, he actually fled five or six thousand people. This made the face of a surrendered general look very bad.
In addition, nearly a thousand surrendered soldiers stationed in the camp outside Hongzhou City also quietly dispersed. For this reason, Liang Yiqi went there in person to apologize to Han Zhong and Han Xiang.
Han Zhongguo comforted Liang Yifu. "Mr. Liang doesn't have to do this. Those surrendered soldiers may have their last resort. Let them go. As long as they no longer have to be right with my Song Dynasty, most of them are from the Han family."
"Han Xiangzhen is a person with high elegance and high elegance, and Liang is really ashamed."
"But it seems that it is not appropriate for the Han Prime Minister to let those surrendered soldiers disperse themselves like this..." Zhong Shidao narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
"That's right, since they have handed over their weapons and equipment, even those who have made contributions to me, the Song Dynasty, cannot let them go so empty-handed. At that time, it will easily cause trouble."
After thinking about it, Han Xiang nodded deeply and said, "So, send someone to the camp of surrendered soldiers to post notices. In addition, let people read it clearly. Among the surrendered soldiers, those who are willing to leave, pay a piece of silk, thirty kilograms of grain, ten kilograms of jerky meat, and ten jin of money, which is enough for them to leave their lives for a period of time."
"Han Xiang's words are reasonable. As long as he can promote it in place, he can not only calm the surrendered soldiers' hearts, but also let them know the sincerity of my Song Dynasty." Wang Yang couldn't help but lit up his thumb at the old driver.
"Thank you, Xiang Han. In this way, even the surrendered soldiers who scattered all over will inevitably be grateful for Xiang Han's achievements and the kindness of the Song Dynasty..." Liang Yibi couldn't help but rise up and sing a chant.
As the army gathered in Hongzhou City, we should naturally consider how to deal with the 50,000 Xixia soldiers who were already occupied in the ancient city of Wuyan.
Mr. Zhong stroked his long beard and analyzed. "These 50,000 Xixia people will never let them leave safely. However, although the ancient Wuyan city is broken, it is still a city after all. If the Xixia people guard it with danger, it will be difficult for us to break it in an urgent manner. If the Xia army comes to support us at that time, the inside and outside will cooperate, or if there is any abnormal movement in the Northern Liao..."

"Even if we can't defeat, we must send troops to encircle them in the ancient city of Wuyan. We cannot give them the opportunity to make trouble. The Jianing Military Office is already the territory of my Song Dynasty." Zhe Keshi nodded, looking very natural.
Many generals in the hall also agreed loudly, and it was impossible for the Song Dynasty to spit out the flesh from their mouths. Therefore, a group of generals enthusiastically asked for the battle.
Wang Yang and Zhe Keshi squatted beside each other and muttered for a long time. Guigui's admiration was particularly eye-catching.
Han Zhongqiu's eyes subconsciously fell on the two guys, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. "General Zhe, Lord Xiao Wang, I wonder what you are discussing. Could it be that you have already had any method to break the Western Xia defenders of Wuyan Ancient City at this moment?"
"There is no way to break the city, but there is a way to make the ancient city of Wuyan uneasy." Wang Yang stood up confidently and bowed to Han Zhong and Han.
"Oh? Then please tell me quickly. What is the way?" Han Zhongqiu felt a little tooth pain when he heard this, and he was restless. It seemed that these four words were particularly destined to be with Lord Xiao Wang.
Wherever this guy went, he would be restless. When he was in the capital of Bianliang, he went to study and made the entire Imperial College students uneasy. Later, after becoming an official, the court in the Song Dynasty also made him uneasy.
Well, after being thrown here, I have to say that when this guy took action, the whole Xixia is now really uneasy.
Han Zhongyi looked at Wang Yang blankly, his expression and eyes looked very strange, and he was confused about Wang Yang, who had always felt very good about himself.
However, Wang Yang didn't care about this, but began to raise his head proudly. "You must know that before, Your Majesty sent a batch of firearms to our Song Dynasty border army?"
"This batch of firearms was originally used to defend against enemies who invaded our Song Dynasty. Unfortunately..." Speaking of this, Wang Yang couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
"...So, when the army was concentrated in the Dingbian Army, Wang brought the batch of firearms. Later, when he attacked Yanzhou, he wanted to use it, but unfortunately, he still couldn't use it..."
