Four hundred and twentieth chapters panic
Li Ganshun watched Cha take the army away, turn back to the palace, and convene a secret meeting.
The only Wei Ming Ashan who still holds great power left behind, who was the only one who left Wei Mingshan, was sent to Liangzhou and Xingqing Prefecture, and no one could compete with Li Ganshun.
Therefore, many soldiers appeared on the streets of Xingqingfu, arresting people everywhere, and the bosses of Xingqingfu were quickly filled with them!
You should know that Empress Dowager Liang personally conquers the Song Dynasty and brings a considerable number of nobles and senior officials in Xingqing Prefecture. As many as 80% of these people were either captured by the Song army or died!
From this we can see the degree of cleaning of Li Ganshun!
Just as Li Ganshun was busy cleaning and consolidating his power, Zhong Jianzhong and Weiming Abia had already crossed the Great Wall Ridge and led their troops to quickly head towards Lingzhou.
After a war not long ago, the territory of Xixia has been rapidly reduced, and Lingzhou has become the most difficult barrier.
Only fifty miles away from Lingzhou, Zhong Jianzhong and Wei Ming Abang stopped, and while rectifying the army, they planned the next march plan.
Wei Ming Abang was once an important official and famous general in the Western Xia Dynasty. He had many former subordinates in Lingzhou City. While sending people to spy on the scene, he trained the 7,000 "Fantass Army" he had just mastered.
Most of these 7,000 people have just surrendered to the Song Dynasty and have been trained for only half a month after disrupting the reorganization.
Wei Ming Ashan hopes that these 7,000 people will make contributions to him and submit a letter of honor!
In the evening, more information gathered, Zhong Jianzhong and Wei Ming Abang stared at the map and discussed in detail.
Wei Ming Aba dared not underestimate Zhong Jianzhong. He looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Supervisor Zhong, why not do this. You surrounded Lingzhou and the last general attacked Xingqing Prefecture and forced Cha Ge back to the army. You took the opportunity to take down Lingzhou!"
The purpose of the Song army was to take down Lingzhou and force Xixia to return to the army, so as not to assist the Liao Kingdom in quelling the rebellion!
This is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone!
Zhong Jianzhong stared at the map and said, "You surrounded Lingzhou and I went to Xingqing Prefecture. Within ten days, I must take Lingzhou. If you can't do it, you can deal with it with it by military law!"
Wei Ming Abi's expression changed immediately, and then he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"
He said this, but he actually had his concerns.
As a newly surrendered man, he had seven thousand people in his hand, and the Song people would have been on strict guard against them. Zhong Jianzhong led 20,000 cavalry to Xingqing Prefecture. If he rebelled back to Xixia, the 20,000 cavalry in Jianzhong would be closed and beaten!
But Zhong Jianzhong seems to have not taken this level into consideration?
Zhong Jianzhong looked at it for a while and said buzzingly: "The Lingzhou defenders are up to tens of thousands of people. With your abilities and relationships, there is no problem to take it down. Then, we may have to face Brother Cha's counterattack. Do you think it is safer to set up an ambush?"
Wei Ming Abian immediately stood up, pointed to Lingzhou thirty miles west, and said, "This place is called Hulu Valley, which is the necessary road and is most suitable for ambushing."
The Song army's favorite is ambush battles, especially Zhang Feng, who has never liked to fight head-on. In the previous battle on Huanqing Road, Zhang Feng was to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and lure the enemy into the depths. This time, he went deep into the heart of the Xia army and ambushed the camp late at night.
Zhong Jianzhong looked at that place, was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I ordered the soldiers to rest, and tomorrow will be hidden in the morning and out at night, and rush to the vicinity of Lingzhou. You should sting quickly, Lingzhou must be taken down!"
"Yes!" Wei Ming Acha said.
So, the main force of Xixia was busy helping the Liao Kingdom to quell the rebellion and quickly left Xingqing Prefecture. The Song army quietly touched Lingzhou, which was called Xiping Prefecture, the southern portal.
Time passed slowly, on September 16th.
There was suddenly chaos in Xingqing Prefecture, and some people "planned to rebel" and led their troops to cause chaos inside and outside Xingqing Prefecture.
Li Ganshun was very clever. These people had just started the cause, but five thousand elite soldiers came out from Xingqing Mansion, quickly suppressing these rebellions, and arrested dozens of rebels surnamed Li, and executed them publicly!
At the same time, many people were arrested or killed in Xingqing Prefecture and important cities around.
Outside Lingzhou City, a valley twenty miles away.
Weiming Abang combined various information and reported to Zhong Jianzhong: "Zhong Shuai, the people in Lingzhou City are now panic and are afraid of being implicated. This is a good opportunity!"
Zhong Jianzhong sat on a stone, looked at Lingzhou City, and said, "Continue."
Wei Ming Abang thought carefully for a moment and said, "The guardian of Lingzhou City is Renduo Baozhong, who is a clerk of Queen Mother Liang. The reason why he kept him was to ease. When he cleared it in Xingqing Prefecture, Renduo Baozhong would definitely not be protected. He must be confused and fearful now. If he sent a powerful person to persuade the surrender, and the army besieged the city, he would be 70% sure that he could take Lingzhou without bloodshed!"
Zhong Jianzhong's expression remained motionless, his little eyes flashed, and he said, "Who is a powerful person?"
Wei Ming Abian knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I will go!"
Zhong Jianzhong stared at him and looked at him for a long time, saying, "Okay. I will send troops tomorrow, I will go directly to Xingqing Prefecture. You will take Lingzhou and remember your greatest achievements in this battle!"
"The last general Xie Zhongshuai!" Wei Ming Abian was not polite. He needed this contribution to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty!
Zhong Jianzhong looked honest and seemed to be a scheming man.
The next day, 27,000 people from Zhong Jianzhong and Wei Ming Abang suddenly rushed out of the valley and headed straight for Lingzhou City twenty miles away.
Twenty miles, too close!
There were less than 10,000 defenders in Lingzhou City. When they saw so many troops attacking, they were immediately panicked.
Renduo Baozhong came to the city in panic, his expression full of shock.
Last time, he was almost captured by the Song army and fled alone. Who would have thought that the Song army would actually kill him and shoot him back!
Renduo Baozhong said tremblingly: "How many Song army are there?"
The side general around him was even more panicked than him and said, "I'm afraid there are 30,000 soldiers!"
Renduo Baozhong's mouth twitched. His family knew about his family affairs. In the last battle, Xixia's family was basically exhausted, and the remaining elite were taken away by Brother Cha.
There are all old, weak and disabled soldiers here, and they can't last long!
A little cold sweat ejaculated from Renduo Baozhong's head, obviously still scared, and thought about it, saying, "Send a message to Your Majesty, and everyone is ready to defend the city!"
The side general did not dare to respond, hesitated and said, "The military supervisor, Xiping Prefecture, I am afraid that it will not be able to defend it anymore, we have no reinforcements."
There are only 10,000 people in Xingqing Prefecture, and the others were taken away by Brother Cha. It will take at least half a month to return to Xiping Prefecture!
Renduo Baozhong knew better than the general, and was already thinking about how to escape and reduce the guilt.
He could not have imagined that when he looked at the approaching Song Jun, he was upset and shouted directly: "Go quickly!"
The general dared not say anything again and quickly responded.
Renduo Baozhong stood at the top of the city, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and looked at the Song Jun who was actually invisible.
The army was relatively neat and strict, and quickly advanced here, and perhaps it could reach it in half an hour!
Renduobao was nervous and had no other choice, so he hurriedly said, "Go quickly, let's talk clearly, see who is leading the army, how many people are, what their purpose is!"
There must be a reason for the Song army to return. As long as the reasons are found out, it may be solved and save Xiping Prefecture and his life!
"yes!"
There was a panic on the head of Lingzhou City, and I don’t know how many people came and went, making noises.
After all, the unprecedented defeat in Xixia was something that happened not long ago, and they were still in fear!
Ren Duo Baozhong ignored them and looked straight at the southeast.
Chapter completed!
