Let’s fight Lingzhou first. “Dong Xiaochou saw that the morale of the generals in the tent was high, so he held on his own initiative to make concessions. “Break Lingzhou first and cut off the retreat of the Zuoxiang Army.”

Li Hu also thought this was more appropriate, so he immediately ordered Yelu Mage to lead 30,000 Khitan troops and together with Gao Baolong's Bohai Army, to immediately go south to attack Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is only more than 100 miles away from Crescent Lake. Yelu Mage arrived in Lingzhou within one day. Ayabu held the city and did not escape this time. One was that Lingzhou City was tall and strong, and the other was that the emperor had already given him a death order. Lingzhou must be guarded and ensured the retreat of the Zuoxiang Army, and he did not dare to retreat.

At this moment, the Zuoxiang Army on Hanhai Road had received the order to retreat, and they rushed to Lingzhou. On the way, they received a letter from Ayabu. They learned that Lingzhou was surrounded by the Huli Army, so they turned around and rushed to Niushou Mountain and crossed the river from the Baima. The Zuoxiang Army on Pingxia Road did not have such good luck. After receiving the letter from Ayabu on the way, Liang Yifeng thought for a long time and returned to Xiazhou with his army, intending to hold on to the city and survive and die with Xiazhou.

The Song army launched an attack from the Hanhai Road. After a few days of fighting, the Xia army withdrew. Zhe Yanzhi judged that the Tiger Lie Army had moved south from the northern line, and then led his army northward. On the 13th, he arrived in Lingzhou and met with the Tiger Lie Army.

On the fifteenth, Zheyan reached the Crescent Lake and visited Li Hu. He had heard about the Camel River victory from Yelu Mage and Gao Baolong, and was very shocked by Li Hu's achievements. Yang Keshi and other Northwest Army generals were even more respectful to Li Hu as gods. The Tiger Lie Army was 130,000, and the Xia Army was 200,000, and local combat. As a result, Li Hu actually defeated the strong with his weak and wiped out more than 130,000 enemies. This record was amazing.

Zhe Yanzhi finished all the polite words and compliments, and then went to the main topic. How to fight the following battle?

This sentence is rich in meaning. This Western Expedition was launched by Li Hu unilaterally. The Song Dynasty was forced to send troops to support it, but now the battle was brilliant, and troubles came. The Song Dynasty fought in the northwest for a hundred years. Suddenly, they found that victory was in sight. In addition to surprise, they were more afraid, because this victory was not fought by the Song army, but won by the Tiger Lie Army. Although the Tiger Lie Army was nominally the army of the Song Dynasty, in fact it was the army of the Han people in the north. If the Han people in the north occupy Hetao and rise in the northwest, it would not be any benefit to the Song Dynasty. In other words, the situation in the northwest changed the soup and the medicine was changed, but the opponent changed from the Dangxiang people to the Han people in the north.

Zhe Yanzhi started from protecting the interests of the Song Dynasty and the security of the northwest, and must prevent this from happening, so he had to touch Li Hu's bottom.

Li Hu said that, of course, we should first wipe out Lingxia. When the Yellow River is frozen, we will join forces to attack Xingqing Prefecture.

Zhe Yan smiled and continued to ask, "So, who is Xingqing Prefecture? Who belongs to the Lingxia Prefecture?"

Li Hu smiled. Dong Xiaohou frowned slightly, and the smile on his face gradually became unfriendly.

"Of course it is the territory of the Song Dynasty." Li Hu smiled, "You and my family are not lies. I am the king of Han in the Song Dynasty and the vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Any inch of land I have captured is the territory of the Song Dynasty."

Zhe Yanzhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Hu to answer so simply and readily. This is wrong. This kid must have had a conspiracy.

"Zhe Shuai, it's time to come. Are you still caring about the loyalty of King Han and Hu Lie Mansion to the Song Dynasty. Isn't it too disappointing?" Dong Xiaochou stroked his long beard and sneered.

Zhe Yanzhi was quite embarrassed and blushed, but he knew very well that this was definitely not Li Hu's truth, but Li Hu said this to this point, and he could only take one step at a time.

Li Hu introduced what he knew about Xingqing Mansion to Zhe Yanzhi.

"According to our estimates, if the Zuoxiang Army was surrounded by us in Lingxia, Xingqing Prefecture would have about 150,000 troops. 150,000 troops were defending Helan Mountain. You know what this means." Li Hu smiled, "You and I have only 200,000 troops together. Even if the Yellow River is frozen, we will be able to conquer the capital of Xixia even if we cross the Yellow River smoothly."

"If we want to conquer the capital of Xixia, the only way is to compete with the Dangxiang people for money and food." Dong Xiaochou continued Li Hu's words, "When we ride the Yellow River to freeze, we will first take down Ding, Huai, Jing, Shun and Lingzhou outside Xingqing Prefecture, and then surround Xingqing Prefecture for a long time, and surround it for a year and a half. When there is no food in the city, we can easily take down Helan Mountain."

"So, Bianjing wants to provide us with money and food." Li Hu said, "If Bianjing wants to take this opportunity to destroy Xixia and completely defeat the Dangxiang people, it must provide a steady stream of money and food and weapons to the northwest battlefield."

Zhe Yanzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master, don't you know the situation of Bianjing now? This time the Northwest Army can only dispatch a hundred thousand troops. What is the reason? Do you know nothing?"

Li Hu's face gradually became colder, "So, you came to Helan Mountain just to tell me that you can withdraw your troops if you stop fighting this battle, right?"

"Of course not."

Zhe Yan looked at the pain and felt very, very uncomfortable. This was a good opportunity, the best opportunity to eliminate Dangxiang people. No matter what Li Hu's original purpose was, he

A miracle, he defeated the Dangxiang people and forced the Dangxiang people to the state of prosperity. At this time, as long as he adds his strength, the Dangxiang people will definitely destroy the country, but...

"What do you mean?" Li Hu asked.

Zhe Yanzhi couldn't say that Tong Guan's plan was very good, but Bianjing only gave only 100,000 people, which made Tong Guan's plan abandon halfway. Li Hu fought a victory in Luotuohe and captured 100,000 prisoners. These 100,000 prisoners were the army. In this way, Li Hu's Western Expedition Army had more than 200,000 people, and his strength was doubled by the Northwest Army. In this case, the two armies joined forces to fight Xixia, and the results of the battle were all from Huli Mansion. The Song Dynasty invisibly helped Li Hu become the king of the Northwest and become the second "Xixia". Will Bianjing agree? Of course, it would not. Zhe Yanzhi didn't need to think about it. When his memorial was handed over to Bianjing, the order to withdraw the army would be issued immediately.

For the Song Dynasty, it would rather discuss peace with the Western Xia and use the people of the Xixia to restrain Li Hu than to see Li Hu occupy Hetao, which would pose a substantial threat to the Song Dynasty.

"If Bianjing doesn't provide me with money and food, I have to retreat." Li Hu sneered.

"I'll submit a petition to Bianjing right away." Zhe Yan said, "There will be a reply in two months. Please let the minister hold on for another two months."

"But I don't have enough food and grass." Li Hu said, "If you don't give it, I have to cut grass valley."

Ding Caogu? Zhe Yanzhi suddenly thought of something and was shocked, "You want to burn, kill, and plunder in Lingxia?"

"I have hundreds of thousands of people here. What should I do if I don't shoot grass valley? Do I eat people?" Li Hu asked angrily.

"You are in Lingxia to build grass valley. What should the people of Lingxia do? Do you let them starve to death?" Zhe Yanzhi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately stopped it, "This matter is absolutely not possible."

"You can't stop this." Li Hu stared at Zhe Yanzhi, with a hint of murderous aura in his eyes. "I knew you wouldn't give me money and food, so after your army arrived in Lingzhou, our local horse army had already set off. Yelu Mage and Gao Baolong were on Hanhai Road, Yelu Yaris and Abaddon were on Pingxia Road, and all my horse army was now fighting Grass Valley."

"Master, this must not be..." Zhe Yanzhi was anxious and shouted loudly, "You burn, kill, loot and plunder all the way, and will cause millions of refugees in a short period of time. These more than one million people are hungry and cold, and they will definitely go south to enter Shaanxi. How can the various Shaanxi robberies support it?"

"This doesn't matter to me." Li Hu sneered, "Since Bianjing doesn't want to give me food, then give it to Lingxia refugees. I rob the food of the Lingxia people, and Lingxia refugees eat Bianjing's relief. Isn't this good?"

Zhe Yan was so angry that he was about to burst into pieces, and his eyes were almost spitting out of fire.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Li Hu shook his hand at him and signaled him not to be anxious. "You can write a letter to the various transshipment commanders in Shaanxi immediately and ask them to prepare for relief to the refugees. I won't talk about this matter, we still have important things to talk about."

Dong Xiaochou took out a letter from the document on the case and handed it to Zhe Yanzhi, "We got news from Bianjing that the emperor changed his course and gave up the abolition of the legitimate legislature and the establishment of the illegitimate wife. What's going on?"

This is the news sent by Yan Qing from Bian Jing, and it was transferred from Datong. The emperor gave up the abolition of the legitimate legislature and established a illegitimate wife and supported the crown prince to inherit the throne. This was a very serious problem for the Hulie Mansion and was related to his own survival and development.

"Is this true or false?" Li Hu asked sternly.

Zhe Yanzhi pondered for a long time and whispered: "It can be said to be fake or it can be said to be true."

Li Hu and Dong Xiaochou looked at each other, not understanding what Zhe Yanzhi meant.

"From the heart of the government, he still hoped that Prince Yun would inherit the throne, so he agreed to the northwest strategy of Prince Yun and Tong Guan and allowed the Northwest Army to attack north, but the ministers disagreed and opposed it fiercely. The current internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty were indeed inappropriate and there was no condition to launch the Western Expedition. The ministers' opposition was reasonable, and the officials could not refute it. For this reason, he thought of a way, which was to give up the abolition of the legitimate and the illegitimate army in exchange for the support of the Western Expedition by the ministers."

Zhe Yanzhi frowned deeply and sighed, "The official family is very proud of himself and thinks that his plan has succeeded. In fact, he is wrong. He despised the power of the ministers. He didn't know that the ministers had taken the plan and had set a trap for him."

"Condom?" Li Hu asked anxiously, "What condom?"

"You see, even if you have achieved amazing results in the northwest, you still have no strength to conquer Xingqing Prefecture in the shortest time. You have to use the stupidest way to attack the capital of Xixia." Zhe Yanzhi sighed bitterly, "It took a long time to encircle Xingqing Prefecture, which was amazing. Even if Bianjing agreed, the Song Dynasty could not do it at all, with the current situation and the embarrassment of the national treasury, so this Western Expedition finally returned without success. Returning without success means failure for the officials and kings, and their failure is a victory for the ministers of Bianjing."
