The bustle over there is no sight in Pingxi Fortress through several mountains, but the bustle here has also begun to take place.

It is easy for Aligu to continue fighting, but it is difficult to surrender. Aligu is so angry that he can't help but force him to achieve Wang Ju's conditions.

But I have to thank Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi and Wang Shao. The Song Dynasty fought with Mu Zheng so hard, and in the end, for stability, he still treated Mu Zheng well, including his younger brothers.

If Aligu really feels that there is no way out, he will still fight to the end.

To achieve this condition, all tribes must cooperate. However, there are still thousands of Tubo soldiers on the fort. If they want to cooperate, they cannot ignore it. Especially there are more than 1,000 Longji tribe soldiers there. The chief general Xilongba is also a warrior from the Longji tribe. At the same time, he is loyal to Aligu. So when Aligu retreats, he sent his confidant to the south and informed the thousands of Tubo soldiers on the south side of Pingxi Fort to retreat immediately. Not to retreat to the north, but to retreat to the tribes with these five supporting tribes.

Anyway, they all surrendered, so the Song Dynasty could not suppress all the rebellious tribes together. After the incident, they would return to their hometown.

How to withdraw? Aligu couldn't take care of himself, so how could he take care of so much?

The two sides are not far away, but the problem is that it is impossible to send letters to the Tubo army in the south through Pingxi Fortress. You have to climb through several tall mountain mausoleums to reach the south.

After climbing, it was already bright.

The battle in the mountains was basically invisible to Pingxi Fort, and even more so invisible to the coalition forces of the two countries in the south. However, the scale of this battle of killing each other was too large and too chaotic. There were even a few deserters who fled in panic.

However, when asked about what happened to them, I couldn't explain it clearly.

So Tubo and Xixia sent scouts to climb the mountains to find out.

When the confidants sent by Aligu arrived, the two teams had spontaneously opened the formation and began to confront each other. What was even more terrible was that the Xixia army was "cowardly". Xilongba deliberately placed them on the periphery to prevent the Song army from suddenly leaving the city to attack the camp. If these Xia army, who were afraid of death, were placed in front of them, might even lose their troops.

Now the two armies are confronting each other, blocking thousands of Tubo troops inside.

Hearing Aligu's order, Xilongba was extremely disappointed, but he didn't dare to delay the problem anymore. Once the tens of thousands of Song troops in the rear came, his thousands of soldiers and more than a thousand tribesmen would die without a place to bury him.

What is burial with you! Don’t expect to surrender.

So Xilongba gathered the three armies and forcibly stormed.

The commander of Xixia, Bao Xijibei, was not a fool. Although he was still confused now, he knew that the Tubo people would never be allowed to escape, so he quickly ordered the three armies to forcibly stop him.

The two sides fought each other again. Then, a Xixia general who knew more about the inside story was killed and fled, and brought fatal news. That is, now Aligu brought most of the Tubo soldiers to the rear, as if cooperating with the Song army to snipe the Xia army and preventing the Xia army from retreating. What was the reason? He could not kill to the front with too many riots, but standing on the top of a mountain, he happened to have a telescope in his hand, which could be seen very clearly.

Bao Xijibei was furious. This time, he did not stop Xilomba from retreating, but ordered the three armies to kill him.

"Funny," Liu Shunchen asked the guards to lift him to the top of the city and watched the scene in the distance. The other Song army soldiers also watched the big show on the top of the city.

What's even more strange is that on one side, they are killing each other, but on the other side, most of the soldiers are confused. Until more people know the truth, the Tubo people are anxious and want to go home, but the Xixia people are angry. Even though we were not good at performing well some time ago, we were supporting you. Now we are betrayal, and the two sides are really angry, and the battlefield is becoming more and more bloody.

However, the proportion of Tubo soldiers here is slightly higher than that there. In the afternoon, Xilongba finally escaped with some of the Tubo people. There were still many Tubo people left behind, and Baoxijibei did not chase them, and continued to kill the remaining Tubo people on the battlefield.

These Tubo people were killed to the point of desperate situation. Some of them fled to Pingxi Fort and shouted for surrender, but Wang Ju decisively ordered them to shoot them back with arrows.

The battlefield gradually became quiet and it was already fighting. People were trapped and horses were scarce. Baoxijibei ordered the preparation to cook. Wang Ju said again: "Zhongpu, take the troops and horses to attack. Remember to expel it."

Zhong Pu led thousands of Song troops to open the fort gate and rushed out.

At this time, the Tubo people of the two countries' coalition forces were either killed or escaped. The Xixia people also suffered heavy casualties, and the three armies were exhausted. Not only were they physically and mentally, they also felt tired. Seeing the Song army rushing out again, Bao Xijibei immediately said: "Get out."

Escape, but not to the south, but to the northeast, there was a small valley everywhere, and then crossed a few hills to meet with the main force of Xixia. As for the south, Baoxijibei was not that stupid. Zhongpu ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and he carried food, supplies and livestock to return to Pingxi Fort one after another.

The battle continued in the passway. There were mountains on both sides of the east and west, and they could not escape. Pingxi Fort was in the south. Even if the gate of Pingxi Fort was opened, the Xixia people dared not escape south. Only the mountain road in the north was the north. More importantly, they immediately had no food. So in the evening, Wang Ju ordered Zhongpu to attack. The Tubo people retreated in the south of the fort, and even needed food, grass and supplies. Both sides killed tragically, but there were still a large amount of food, grass and supplies in the south. Because of artillery, the enemy camp in the south was several miles away from Pingxi Fort. So some surrounding tribes dared to use the night to secretly support a large amount of food, grass and livestock.

If Wang Ju did not stop him, Bao Xijibei ordered the three armies to cook and they would definitely bring these food and livestock to the fort. The livestock could not cross mountains and ridges, but they could slaughter and carry them to the back of the mountain. Then, at least within these two or three days, the food problem of the Xixia people was solved, and they would not fight to the death. But now there is no food, and the Xixia people can only continue to fight to the death.

The next day was even worse. Some Xixia people were so hungry that they could not help looking for food everywhere. They wanted to hunt, and where to go. So many soldiers were stationed here, not to mention beasts, they didn't even dare to leave a bird.

That was only killing horses, but in order to save horses, the war horses were mostly placed in the rear, so it was impossible to put the war horses in this narrow road. That is, at this time, the Xixia army did not even have many war horses.

So I had to find wild fruits, peel the bark of trees, dig wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, but can this work? So some people actually brought dead people to eat and vomit. Aligu brought various troops to defend themselves and watched this scene. They were also vomiting. The scouts of Wang Ju Sect sneaked to the mountain pass. They saw this scene in the telescope and were also vomiting...

So hungry, so hungry.

Some tribes around immediately sent people to pay homage to Wang Ju. They were also confused about the specific situation now, but they knew that the two countries were defeated. Wang Ju was not seen. They just asked Wang Zichuan to ask on their behalf. After fighting for so many days, where did the food, grass and livestock of more than 10,000 enemies in the south come from? I didn’t make you embarrassed, so I asked you to watch the wall, but I asked you to support Aligu and Xixia people?

The richest place in Hehuang was previously called the first and second sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums and sautums in the southeast of Guide, which is the southwestern region of Hezhou and sautums and sautums and sautums in the Tang Dynasty. However, this part was not controlled for a long time in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. So the name is irrigation, because in addition to the Yellow River, there are many small tributaries of the Yellow River, with abundant water and grass. Therefore, it became the second richest place in Hehuang.

Jiuqu is the area around Xige City today, which is the Jishi Military Village of the Tang Dynasty. It also includes Damomen City and Baigu City controlled by Tubo. It not only has the Yellow River and some tributaries, but also many broad valley areas, so it has become the third richest place in Hehuang.

Therefore, the Guzhou of the Tang Dynasty was relatively wealthy. The situation in the Guzhou of the Song Dynasty was not very good. Eighty percent of the areas in the territory were mountainous areas. This kind of support was also considered strong support. On the other hand, it also means that they were full of hostility towards the Song army.

The troops were frightened and went to find Zongpu. Zongpu said angrily: "If it weren't for your support, would they bring food and grass to cross mountains and ridges every day to fight our army to the south of the city? Can our army sacrifice so many soldiers if we don't go to war on both sides? Even Taibao was forced to go to the battlefield by you, and half of the guards around him sacrificed. If you have the courage to do it, you must have the courage to take responsibility."

These people knelt down together, and some people hugged Zhongpu's thigh and cried. Zhongpu said half a day later: "If you want Taibao to forgive me, you can. Several tribes openly become enemies with our army, and some of Aligu's subordinates escaped..."

Everyone understood, so they went back, ordered Ding Zhuang, and killed the five tribes.

Xilongba was licking wounds in a tribe with his men. Thousands of troops from various tribes came to kill him. After Xilongba killed more than a dozen people, he was surrounded and killed by everyone.

In fact, this was also done by Wang Ju, who made these tribes not unite in the future and could not be united, so that the Song Dynasty could be divided and transformed into a new line, so that it would be easier to govern. That is, he overturned the policies of Zhuge Liang and Emperor Taizong of Tang, but he could not blame Zhuge Liang. In the situation of Shu Han at that time, he could only be tied up. But he could not blame Emperor Taizong of Tang, the mentality of the Tiankang was not something that ordinary Han people could figure out.

Miao Su, Zhong Yi, Wang Junwan, Liu Zhongwu, and Han Xu divided into two groups and rushed towards Pingxi Fort. At this moment, they suddenly received an order from Wang Ju.

Now the two Song troops are not far from Pingxi Fort, so they all sent scouts to Pingxi Fort to inquire about the news.

But when these scouts came to the front line, they were all stupid. The surrounding tribes were killing each other, but Pingxi Fort was silent, with no enemy siege in the city, and there was no enemy in the south of the city.

Therefore, if you enter the city one by one, don’t inquire, just go to the city to ask about the situation.

Then Wang Ju asked them to go back quickly to send orders to the two armies, not to come so quickly, it is better to be slower, even if it is slow for two, three, three or four days.

If there is no accident, you can basically reach the battlefield by marching first tonight. At noon tomorrow, all the three armies will come to Pingxi Fortress. There is nothing wrong with Aligu's investigation.

So several generals were also confused.

This cannot be blamed for not paying attention to scouts. The surrounding areas are Tubo tribes. Although they have not sent their soldiers to participate in the war, the various divisions still have their hearts on the side of Aligu. If the army is not available, the scouts cannot enter this area to inquire about the situation. Only the two thousand Song troops left behind in Guzhou City vaguely know that Pingxi Fort was not lost and are fighting fiercely every day.

Then wait a little slower. However, Miao Shu and Zhong Yi were still a little worried. They rode a horse to Pingxi Fort the next day, and don’t ask how they came here these days. Just look at the fort wall and you can guess the tragic battles these days.

Zhong Pu came out and said, "Master Miao, Uncle Ba, I will take you to see a good show."

He led the two generals out of Pingxi Fort, came to a mountain top at the pass, and looked inside with a telescope. Now that the Tubo and Xixia armies have been completely integrated, there are all Xixia soldiers outside, and some Tubo people who have not yet retreated will either be vented and killed or they do not know where to escape. The inside is full of Tubo people. The Xixia people have to break through the siege and eat and drink, and they are all fighting desperately. In order not to let Wang Ju calculate the future, the Tubo people are also fighting desperately, and the two sides are fighting fiercely.

The two generals looked at the black sweat, and then Zhong Pu explained the whole story.

No one could guess this situation, even Wang Ju didn't guess it, but the two generals immediately understood Wang Ju's meaning. After all, the Tubo people fighting here were all soldiers from various tribes deep in the Huangchuan River, and each tribe was fierce and rebellious. Even if they were taken down, they might not be so easy to manage in the future.

And they all surrendered. They could not really learn from Xue Rengui and killed all the prisoners of war. So Wang Ju took the opportunity to let them suffer a lot, so that they could defeat their arrogance and the Song Dynasty would be able to manage it smoothly in the future.

After watching Miao Su and Zhong Yi, they felt at ease, but the Tubo people became anxious. Many leaders asked Ali Gu. Will the Song army arrive today? How can it be the future?

Aligu didn't know anything, so he had to send a scout to take a long way and inquire south.

It was not until the third day that the scouts brought news. There were many Song troops who came, not only Miao Shu’s Hezhou army and Zhong Yi army, but also Qinzhou army brought by Han Xu and the foreign soldiers in Dingxi City. The civilian soldiers and menial soldiers were not included, but the regular soldiers alone reached more than 20,000.

But the speed of their march was so slow. They marched no more than twenty miles on the day, just like snails crawling towards Pingxi Fort.

The leaders cursed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to scold them in their hearts, and then gritted their teeth and continued to fight bloody battles.

At the same time, Wang Wenyu left a unit to guard Qingtang City, and led the remaining army to Zongge City, and came to Zongge City. Wang Wenyu sent someone to surrender: "Open the city gate, put down the weapons, surrender and not kill."

Luo Jie also knew the situation on the front line and originally surrendered, but when he heard the arrogant words of Song Bing, he changed his mind and stopped surrendering. With the strength of Zong Gecheng, he wanted us to surrender, and he had to beg us and persuade us!

But at this time, Wang Wenyu had already contacted Wang Ju. If he did not surrender, he would not surrender. The three armies surrounded Zong Gecheng and asked Lin Guang to take a group of troops to Shengduo Valley in the northeast. Wang Guangzu also sent troops to cross the Cheese River. The terrain here was relatively important, so Aligu divided two thousand troops to guard it. However, under the pressure of two Song troops, the foreign soldiers in Shengduo Valley also received news from the front line, one by one, and all surrendered.

The two troops escorted these prisoners of war and turned to the south of the Thunder Ridge. The terrain here is more important. After the war, Wang Juyu set up Suiyuan Pass to the east and Xiakou Fort to the west. Two fort passes were built in succession to control the Thunder Ridge. Now there are no fort passes, and there are only two military camps.

Guo Jingxiu defended in the East Village, and the Southern Jiangsu Party Conquest was defending in the West Village. Lin Wen and Wang Guangzu went around to the rear of the Southern Jiangsu Party Conquest. Guo Jingxiu's army approached westward. Like Bajin Fort, the Song army came to the rear, and there was no danger to defend, nor was there no danger to defend. The key was that the morale of the three armies was depressed and the strength was small. The Southern Jiangsu Party Conquest had to lead the three armies to surrender.

Several Song troops gathered together and rushed to the city of Zongge with the Southern Jiangsu Party. Zhu Luo Jiehao cried loudly, and could not help himself. He opened the city gate, raised his hands one by one, and walked out of Zongge City.

However, because of his stubbornness, Wang Wenyu ordered that all the leaders and generals of the defenders in Zongge City be identified and strangled them all outside Zongge City, including Lu Luo Jie. However, only these leaders were killed, and all the remaining soldiers were spared. This was also the policy required by Wang Ju. It can be killed and must be killed. However, this kill is a deterrent, not for the sake of killing. It must find a balance between deterrence and comfort.

At this time, the two Song troops on the southern route also arrived at the bottom of Pingxi Fort.

Upon receiving this news, Renduobaozhong called his nephew Renduolin over and asked, "Lin'er, do you know why our army was defeated like this?"

"That Taibao's trick."

"It's not just that Taibao's trick. The Song Dynasty was too big and too rich. There was no strong character who had good integration before. Once there was a hero with both civil and military affairs, our country would definitely lose."

"How could Taizu (Li Jiqian) establish a country?"

"Taizu's talent is great, who can match it, and that time is good. The Song Dynasty was restrained by the Liao Kingdom and its troops in the northwest were empty. Therefore, Taizu was able to establish a country."

"Later, the Song Dynasty sent troops to fight Taizu many times, but none of them succeeded."

"You don't understand yet that it was because Taizu's tactics were used properly. Although the Song Dynasty was not successful, Taizu did not really defeat the Song army. It was just that it was delayed for a long time. The Song Dynasty would be taken advantage of by the Liao Kingdom, so that Taizu could establish a country."

"Then why doesn't Liao send troops now?"

"I don't know either. I can only say that the emperor is a foolish monarch." Renduobaozhong said hatefully that if the Western Xia is destroyed, the Liao Kingdom may not be destroyed, but without the Western Xia restraint, it would be impossible for the Liao Kingdom to show off its power to the Song Dynasty.

"I said the purpose of this matter is to tell you that our Daxia is over."

"how so?"

"You should surrender to the Song Dynasty immediately... You may not be able to go back for the time being." Renduobaozhong was captured once, and the Song Dynasty could not be said to abuse prisoners of war. He just worked constantly, but he still provided food, drink, and shelter, and wanted to obey orders. He must not resist or have any other intentions. Otherwise, he would kill immediately and sent soldiers to guard him. He also cunned the word "capital" on his face, including Renduobaozhong's face. It was the word "cun" that was forcibly eliminated with medicine after he returned to Xixia, but he still had a scar on his face. Therefore, he could not escape back. He said again: "But don't resist. Once the war is over, the Song Dynasty will release you back. At that time, please bring a word for me to the people of the tribe and be content with oneself in the future. This world is no longer the world of Daxia."

"uncle……"

"Don't cry, I've been captured once, I've been captured for the second time without any face," Rendo Baozhong said this, looking at the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Go."

Then he took out Xia Guojian and committed suicide.

After Renduo Linhao cried, he surrendered to Wang Ju with the remaining Xia army. There were not many people. When he came, he had 50,000 troops, but now he was not even enough 20,000. Most of them were killed by Tubo people, and they were surviving. These days of hell-like life cast a thick shadow in their hearts.

Wang Ju was surrendered, and Ali Gu sent Jiexia Luo again and asked Wang Ju what should we do?

Wang Ju said dissatisfiedly: "Have you ever heard of surrender as if you were facing an enemy?"
To be continued...
