"What?" Upon hearing the news, everyone was stunned!

Before they knew that the Liangshan army had entered the territory of Xixia, but in just a few months, Xixia was conquered!

"Marshal, could the news be wrong?" Qu Duan hurriedly asked. www

"There is no mistake! Our Zhong family army has spies all over Xixia, and the intelligence sent by these spies proves that Xixia has indeed been conquered!" Zhongshi said.

"How could it be so fast?" The generals below were discussing.

"Since mid-July last year, Xixia has been in constant war! At that time, I have been closely monitoring the situation in Xixia! First, Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu led an army of more than 7 to attack Xixia, and troops from all over the country of Xixia gathered at the southern border! Later, Liangshan’s cavalry crossed the desert and appeared in the Xixia Zhongxing Mansion area. In winter, the Xixia army on the southern border began to return to the division! On the way back to the division, they were defeated by the Liangshan cavalry! After that, Liangshan’s 20 troops from Shangjing in the east , Zhongjing and other places dispatched troops, and in just one month they conquered half of Xixia, and came to Zhongxingfu to join forces with the cavalry! Afterwards, the emperor of Xixia surrendered, and Xixia perished!" Zhong Shidao said flatly.

"This...Xixia died just like that?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

Xixia is the enemy of the Song Dynasty, and has been contending with the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years!For more than a hundred years, the Xixia army and the Western Xia army have fought many times, and the Xixia army has also taken advantage of it. The territory of Xixia is a whole circle larger than that of the founding period!But it was such a strong Xixia who was destroyed by Liangshan in such a short period of time!Recalling the history of the rise of Liangshan, in the past ten years, they have continued to destroy the country, and they have become stronger and stronger. Now, it is almost impossible to restrain them.

"Marshal, Liangshan originally occupied Yanjing, but we are separated from them by the Yellow River in the northwest! But now, they occupy Xixia, and going south is where our Western Army is stationed! We must strengthen the defense of the north to prevent the Liangshan army from attacking. " Qu Duan said.

"It's impossible to strengthen the defense of the north." Zhong Shidao shook his head and said.

"Impossible?" Qu Duan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what it meant to be a teacher.

"Don't you think it's strange? Why did Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu attack Xixia before? They didn't get any orders at that time! Even when I severely reprimanded them, they didn't stop fighting! Now, Liangshan has just Take down Xixia, and their war will stop immediately!" Zhong Shi said.

"What does the handsome mean?" Qu Duan asked.

"It is very likely that they have already been bought by Liangshan! The large territory in the north, including Huanqing Road, Qingyang Mansion, Baoan Prefecture, and Yan'an Mansion, is probably the territory of our Song Dynasty in name, but it is actually Liangshan's territory. Territory! The Liu family army and the Zhe family army are probably already Liangshan's army!" Zhong Shi said.

"Marshal... Could there be a mistake?" A general below asked in horror.

"There is no mistake! Years ago, I wrote to them and asked them to come to Jingyuan City to meet me! It has been more than half a month now, and they haven't come here yet! It seems that they don't plan to come here at all!" teacher way.

"They turned to traitors, they deserve death! Marshal, we should take them down immediately!" Qu Duan said.

"How to take them down? Send troops to attack them? Liu's army and Zhe's army have more than [-] people in total, and they have a deep foundation in the north. They have stored countless grains and grass there, and many cities are also theirs. The sons of the family are in charge! Once we attack them, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the northwest! Liangshan is to the north and east of them. There is no hope! Da Song may not have much hope!" Master Zhong said.

"Then what should we do?" Qu Duan said.

"I have already informed Duan Ru to go to Tongguan and station him there!" Mr. Zhong said.

Duan Ru is his younger brother Zhongshi Zhong, and now he is also a general of the Western Army, with nearly [-] soldiers and horses under his command!Originally, the defense line of the planting division was in the south of Fuzhou, but now the planting teacher's way actually made the planting division go further south to Tongguan.

"We also want to move away from Tongguan! From now on, we will use Tongguan, Chang'an, and the Yellow River as the line. Only by relying on the terrain can we block Liangshan! In addition, we have notified Mr. Tong to let Mr. Tong's army also move towards Tongguan. Mobilization in the area! There is also the Sichuan and Shu area, which borders Xixia, and it will also enter the stage of comprehensive defense! I have already informed the Sichuan government to let him give up the five outer gates bordering Xixia, and firmly guard the inner three gates!" Kind of teacher.

"My lord, doing this is equivalent to giving up the country! Is that why we gave up the vast territory in the north?" said an official below.

"If we guard those places, we have no terrain to rely on. When Liangshan attacks, we will have only one dead end!" Zhong Shi said.

"This is not the fundamental solution to the problem! Marshal, the current imperial court is incompetent, and His Majesty has no interest in state affairs. He only knows to study Taoism all day long! Almost all the country's annual income is invested in the construction of the imperial palace! When flood disasters occur everywhere , the imperial court will not help, the soldiers in the army are short of pay, and the imperial court will not distribute the money! If this continues, I am afraid that the country will become weaker and weaker, and even without Liangshan attacking us, the untouchables who rebel everywhere will let us Great chaos occurred in Song Dynasty!" Qu Duan said.

"Why don't I know this! It's just that I have written to His Majesty many times, but I haven't replied at all! No one knows what His Majesty thinks. As subjects, we can only do our best to do our own things right now!" Mr. Zhong said sighed.

Zhong Shidao even felt that the emperor didn't need to be so strong and strong. As long as the emperor completely handed over the Northwest to him, he was confident that the combat effectiveness of the Western Army would be raised to another level, and it might even block Liangshan's army in the future!But, this is also a delusion!He is now the economic envoy, but in addition to him, there is Tong Guan, the Northwest Supervising Army, and Huang Qianshan, the Northwest Propaganda Envoy!Under various constraints, he can only control his own family army. For other armies, his orders are now becoming less and less useful!

At this moment, Zhong Shidao invited these generals in. After sitting down, Zhong Shidao asked Qu Duan, "Are there any good generals in the Western Army recently?"

Qu Duan thought for a while, and said: "Commander, there is a pair of Wu brothers, both of whom are skilled in martial arts and understand strategy! There is another Xu Ning, who was originally a member of the Imperial Army. Two years ago, he joined our Western Army. Among them, now under Master Tong Guan's subordinates, he is also highly skilled in martial arts, and his family's hook and sickle spear is unrivaled in the world."

Among the three people mentioned by Qu Duan, Xu Ning is nothing but martial arts, and he is one of the heroes of Liangshan in history!But Wu Jie and Wu Lin are very famous figures in history. During the transition period between the Northern and Southern Songs, their contribution to the Great Song was almost comparable to that of Yue Fei!It is precisely because of these two people that the Jin soldiers have been unable to invade the Qinlong Bashu area!The two brothers are not inferior to the four generals of ZTE in terms of personal martial arts or military ability. If only the record is counted, the records of the two brothers surpass Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Han Shizhong!But now these two brothers are still not well-known, they are not much different in age from Yue Fei, they are both in their early twenties!

"Okay, you call the army immediately! Let's go to Tongguan area! When we get to Tongguan, I want to meet these generals." Zhong said.

Zhong Shidao led the Zhong family army to leave Jingyuan. When he left here, he was worried and very reluctant!However, he was afraid that there would be changes in the northwest, that Liu Yanqing, Zhe Keqiu, or Liangshan's army would suddenly rush from the north, so he finally gritted his teeth and led the troops to leave.

After Zhong Shidao came to Chang'an City and met Tong Guan, he explained the reason why he wanted to leave Jingyuan City. Tong Guan always obeyed Zhong Shidao's words, and now decided to deploy heavy troops in Chang'an and Tongguan!However, after Tongguan took out the imperial court's commendation, Zhong Shidao stayed where he was after seeing it!

It turned out that Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu actually asked the imperial court for credit, saying that they had laid down dozens of military strongholds and fortresses in the south of Xixia. This is a great achievement that the Western Army has never made in more than ten years!So the imperial court rewarded Liu Yanqing, Zhe Keqiu and others with a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass.In addition, the imperial court published the merits of the two men and notified the various departments of the Western Army.

"Damn it, Your Majesty is really stupid." Zhong Shidao said secretly.

******

It was already the end of the first lunar month, and in the imperial palace of Yanjing City, Wu Dong was receiving a group of special guests.

All these guests came from the Wanggu tribe of Yinshan Mountain, and the leader was Haibie whom Wu Dong had met last year.Except for him, the rest are all tribal leaders of the Wangu tribe.These tribes were invited by Liangshan, and now they have all moved to Liaodong, and their leaders came to see Wudong.

Wu Dong was very happy in his heart. These people entered Liangshan territory and lived scattered, and they would never be able to pose a threat to Liangshan again.However, there are only 5 Turkic people who left Yinshan, and there are still about [-] Turkic people there. In the future, Liangshan will take other suppression and division measures to gradually control the entire Yinshan.

On the first day of February, these tribal leaders left Yanjing and returned to Liaodong, but this time Wu Dong and Li Gang actually accompanied them to the north.
