Zhong Yan secretly sent an envoy to the prefectures.

There is a Zhe family in the prefecture and the army under their tent is called the Zhe family army.

But there is another state in the middle, Linzhou. However, Linzhou is under the real Han people's rule, and Han officials and generals are not easy to fool.

Zhe Jizu, the Zhe family's Zhe family, soon received a letter from Zhong Yan. The letter was not very clear, and only said one thing: Zhong Yan would take Yanzhou's troops to Suizhou, and asked Zhe Jizu to sneak into Suizhou from Yinzhou with the Zhe family army, and made an appointment to meet in Huaining Village.

It turned out that there was a Suizhou city in Suizhou, but the Song Dynasty and Li Jiqian fought each other and killed the city. Then Xixia built a city on the Song Dynasty Huaining Village, forty miles west of Suizhou City, and established a military command. Now Huaining Village has temporarily become the prefecture city in charge of Suizhou.

After seeing the letter, Zhe Jishi never thought that Zhong Yan was acting alone. He thought it was an order from the Song Dynasty court, so he had to gather troops. Moreover, this was to regain a Suizhou, one-quarter of Hengshan! In order not to delay the affairs of the Song Dynasty court, he almost assembled most of the troops in the prefectures and prefectures, and led by his younger brother Zhe Shi, and sneaked into Yinzhou.

An incident happened in Jiayou in the fifth year. The imperial court saw that the prefectures were not bad, with arable land and pastures, and that they also gained some gains in trading with the Khitans in the Western Xia, so they prepared to accept the financial power of the prefectures.

When Zhe Jizu heard the news, he immediately stopped running out of his hooves. Whoever is happy in this prefecture or prefecture will do it?

Han Qi and Fu Bi were stunned. Who could defend the prefectures except the Zhe family? So Liang Shi asked him to go back and ask. Liang Shi quickly came back to report that the Zhe family inherited the prefectures and the clan was only more than 300, but there were many foreign tribes, so they had to use their salary to support them. But how much salary can the court give? Even if the salary plus some extra income, it was still not enough to make ends meet. The Zhe family even borrowed cattle from the foreign tribe to work in person to support more than 300 people in their clan. This financial power cannot be collected, and the matter will be settled.

I don't know who came up with the bad idea.

It would be great if the prefectures can maintain the finances. Look at the state along the border, you don’t need countless money and food a year?

But this also shows two problems. One is the heroes of the Zhe family. It can be said that at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family had hundreds of people, but why did the population not increase after so many years? They died in battle!

The second one shows how difficult the Zhe family is now.

Fortunately, there is no trouble in the Liao Kingdom now. Otherwise, the Zhe family would be even more miserable.

However, if you want to survive, you have to rely on the Song Dynasty. For example, this time, Zhong Yan notified him with a unclear letter, and the Zhe family immediately had all the troops and mobilized all the troops.

But the one who was suffering was not the Zhe family, but Wei Mingshan. It was a good idea to say something about Zhong Yan and his troops touched Huaining Village. Think about how far it was from Fuzhou to Huaining Village? Moreover, the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhe Jishi reached the doorstep, but Wei Mingshan didn't know at all.

When the two armies met, Zhe Jishi was shocked: "General Zhong, why are you just a few soldiers?"

"Why do you need so many soldiers and horses to be surrendered?" Zhong Yan said indifferently.

Zhe Jishi was depressed. Now he said he would not have so many troops. Why did you say in the letter that our Zhe family would spread all the troops? He would learn the truth in a while and ask again: "General Zhong, are you not taking the actions of the court?"

"When the imperial court's order came down, I've missed the opportunity."

Zhe Jishi didn't speak for most of the day, thinking, is this a matter of a god?

But the soldiers were also brought, so I had to continue to touch Huaining Village. Weimingshan didn’t know that the Song army was coming, but Weimingyishan knew that someone had to know that this was more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, not more than 10,000 ants.

But Zhong Yan also got in. When he saw Weiming Yishan, he shouted: "I am here to accept surrender on behalf of the court, why don't your brother welcome him?"

"My brother is still hesitating."

Zhe Jishi is about to faint. Well, one is to accept surrender privately, and the other is to have not discussed surrender yet. Brother, don’t cheat our Zhe family, all the soldiers in the prefectures and states are coming out. If one cheats surrender, we will cheat us.

Zhong Yan was also anxious and shouted, "What? Hesitant?"

"General Zhong, don't worry, I promise to let my brother surrender immediately." Wei Mingyishan said, and went back immediately overnight. At this time, the news could not be hidden. Wei Mingshan actually touched the Huaining Village after the Song army got it. He was also shocked and immediately fired his guns and prepared for the battle.

Wei Mingyishan knocked on the door outside and said, "The Song army has arrived at 100,000."

He also said: "The Song Dynasty's official army gathers in large numbers, brother descends quickly, otherwise the clan will be destroyed."

"Who is calling out?"

"It's me, where is Yishan?"

"You put your hand into the crack of the door."

Wei Mingyishan reached into his hand, and Wei Mingshan touched it, missing a finger. Yes, this is my brother's hand. In fact, Wei Mingshan was confused, can you still touch it? I heard the sound. It's really not possible, it's okay to light a torch and take a photo. Wei Mingshan was stunned wherever he stood, and Li Wenxi then took out the golden jaw and said, "General, this is a gift from the general to you."

Wei Mingshan cried with a abandoned gun.

There are two reasons for this. There must be no 100,000 troops on the Fuyan Road, but the Zhe family army has fought, which means that the Song Dynasty also sent troops to Hedong. The two armies together, and there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops without 100,000 troops. In addition, my younger brother and confidant took the lead in surrendering, and he even beat a ghost.

Secondly, so many enemy troops found out when they touched their core areas. Not only was their younger brother and Li Wenxi concealed it for him, but they also didn't know how many subordinates cooperated with their younger brothers, so they didn't find it and no one informed them. This was the younger brother's consideration of the brotherhood, and regardless of the brotherhood, they killed themselves and surrendered. It was estimated that more than half of the subordinates would cooperate with their younger brothers. The Western Xia army was deposed, and the people of Suizhou lived too hard and forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty and find a way out.

The two were combined with one, and there was no way to fight, so I had to surrender.

Wei Mingyishan was also quite ashamed. When the elder brother finished crying, he said, "Brother, my brother is wrong. This is also to find a way out for everyone."

Wei Mingshan surrendered helplessly.

Zhong Yan and Zhe Jishi were determined to make up, especially Zhe Jishi, who almost took out all the capitals of the prefectures and states. If he had surrendered, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to go back.

Zhong Yan began to truly surrender, and then wrote a letter to notify Lu Sheng, "Sorry, I have already dealt with Suizhou, and all the tribes in Weimingshan surrendered, three hundred chiefs, fifteen thousand households, more than 45,000 people, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and more than 10,000 livestock."

This also shows a problem. However, Zhong Yan didn't pay attention, and Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, have you found a problem?"

“What’s the problem?”

"If the big Suizhou is just a few soldiers and horses, and the people. Let's not talk about anything else, just take Huachi County, such a small place, and there are five or six thousand people in the tent. Each tent has at least five or six people."

"Xixia is very difficult."

"It's the one in the middle." Wang Ju said.

"No wonder you have successfully surrendered. No one can match your military vision." Zhao Xu immediately praised. Wang Ju smiled proudly. He couldn't fight in the actual battlefield, but only in terms of vision, no one in this world can match him.

But Lu Shi didn't. After receiving the news, he sat on the ground and mostly recovered. Then he immediately wrote a report to the Western Palace. He didn't know what to say, and only said one sentence, since the founding of the country, this has not happened.

After being surrendered to a state, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, a small Qingjian City Lord took the initiative. Then he said it was said that Weimingshan was a mature householder who was captured as Yin, Xia, Suizhou Military Office, and had more than 3,000 small commanders.

"Your Majesty, Lu Shi really can't govern the border state." Wang Ju said again.

“Why?”

"Wei Mingshan is really a mature household in our dynasty?"

The Song Dynasty divided the barbarians into two types: familiar households and child-born households. One was called mature households and child-born households. One was called mature households and the other was not obeyed by the government. However, in order to avoid trouble, the government just turned a blind eye and refused to force them. This type of person was called child-born households. The other was distrustful. For example, because of the brothers in the mountains, the security army had always had little trust in the returnees and was not included in the ranks of mature households, and was still a child-born household.

"Maybe Wei's name is given a surname?"

"Our dynasty gave the surname, and the Liao Kingdom also gave it to the surname, but Xixia did not have such rules. Besides, what is the virtue of a captured Song Dynasty? Can tens of thousands of people in Suizhou obey his orders? How could Xixia hand over Suizhou to him in charge?"

"royal?"

"I think it's mostly a royal family, but after Tuoba moved to the four prefectures, it has reproduced to this day, and countless descendants have come from Li Jiqian's lineage. Now all Tuoba surnames have been changed to Wei's surname, and even the royal family is not surprising, unless the direct royal family like brothers in the mountain."

"This Lu Shen..." Zhao Xu sighed. A very simple truth. I don't know where Lu Shen heard the news, but he actually reported the rumors as facts. Just because of this, I can't take care of the matter of Lu Yan.

But things are not over.

When Xixia received the news, she was anxious and immediately assembled troops from Yinxia to prepare to retake Suizhou.

Zhong Yan also knew that the Western Xia would send troops to retake Suizhou. Suizhou had military camps, but on the original border of Songxia, Suizhou was now taken back, and these military forts were no longer effective. However, time was urgent, so more than 10,000 households in Weimingshan were first allowed to move to the banks of the Dali River, and then immediately built Suizhou City, which was the old Suizhou City of the Tang Dynasty, located at the mouth of Sanchuan at the intersection of Dali River and Wuding River.

The vanguard of the Western Xia arrived, and Zhong Yan tied a blanket in the shape of a tower. The vanguard of the Western Xia was far away. Under the siege of the Song army, the scout could not approach. Seeing that the Song army built Suizhou City in just a few days, he thought it was helpful to the gods, so he retreated. Within eight days, the enemy arrived three times. The last time it could not be concealed, Zhong Yan personally went out to defeat him.

Xixia was a little confused about the details of Xinsuizhou City, so she turned to Huaining Village.

After so many days, Xixia has gathered 40,000 troops.

At this time, Wei Mingshan saw that the Song army had few troops, and what the hell was 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the two groups were combined, with only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. He felt a little regretful.

It doesn't matter if he regrets it, mainly because he is not in a strong sense of fighting. Zhong Yan was afraid that something might happen in Huaining Village, so he went back to Su Huaining Village and told Wei Mingshan that I wouldn't want you to fight with all your might and flee to the Song Dynasty, just to have a peaceful day. Therefore, I only asked you to pick out the strongest army of 800 to fight to attract the attention of the enemy. Then, let the people in the city Zhang Bunang hold an iron stick in his hand to be a suspicious soldier, and you will have nothing to do with you.

After this, Wei Mingshan had no choice but to agree. However, Zhong Yan quietly led his subordinates to Wuci Valley on the side of Huaining Village, and asked Yan Da and Liu Fu to be the two wings, and he himself was in the center, and then said: "Listen to my drums, if it is slow, it will be slow, and if it is urgent, it will be fast."

The next day, the people of Xixia fought in front of Huaining Village. Zhong Yan's three groups of troops suddenly broke out. Forty thousand enemy troops were defeated, nearly two thousand people were beheaded, and tens of camel and horse armor were captured. Later, Xixia sent troops again, but this time it was not an attack, but a battle against the various tents of Weimingshan who were separated in the Dali River, and was defeated by Zhe Jishi.

Western Xia is in poverty.

But there was also a controversy in Suizhou. A realistic problem, Lu Shen did not support it, and Zhe Jishi's soldiers would have to return to Fuzhou sooner or later. How could they fight against the troops of Xixia and the whole country with the troops of Qingjian City? Therefore, it is difficult to defend the lonely city and the lonely army, so it is better to abandon it.

Zhong Yan was anxious. The reason why he was surrendered was that he really had the people and soldiers of Wei Mingshan? The one who was greedy was Suizhou. The Hengshan Mountains of the Song Dynasty included the later Hengshan Mountains and Baiyu Mountains. In fact, the real Hengshan Mountains were the section of the northwest of the Baoan Army to Yinzhou. Taking Suizhou was equivalent to taking down one-third of the Hengshan area. Moreover, the Xinsuizhou was built on the original site of Suizhou City in the Tang Dynasty, chasing the Dasanchuankou (Wudinghe and Dali River). The people of Xixia were called Li Wangxin and the heart of the Tuoba Li family! It is Shangjun since ancient times. The terrain of the land is high, so you can look down at the counties. Because it is next to the river, it is thousands of miles away from the fertile field, and tens of thousands of archers can be placed on the side of the border. Tens of thousands of archers were enough to defend Suizhou City. When the enemy left, they continued to train and cultivate. There was no need for the imperial guards to send imperial guards to be garrison soldiers, and no military expenditure was needed to defend the border.

It's hard for everyone to argue anymore.

But there is good news. Wei Mingshan defeated the 40,000 Xixia troops when he saw Zhong Yan. Of course, this was a temporary army that was quickly gathered up, and he could not take it seriously, but he was always defeated. Therefore, the regret disappeared and he also sent his subordinates to help him. In a very short time, Suizhou City was repaired.

Xixia is also in a difficult situation, but she can’t win. She was defeated last year and lost again this year. How could this continue?

So he sent an envoy to the northwest to threaten that the 500 households including Weimingshan from the Fan tribe were attached to the border, and the soldiers of the Zhemashan were recruited, and asked to return the country to Weimingshan and kill Mashan. Zhemashan was the name of Zhejishi. It was unlikely that he would kill Zhejishi. It would be impossible to kill Zhejishi. It would be impossible to return more than 10,000 households from the Song Dynasty. Only the five hundred households from Weimingshan were directly under the line. Everyone had a step down. This matter was revealed, otherwise we would not finish it.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to kill Zhe Jishi. He was the younger brother of Zhe Jizu. He immediately led the children of the prefectures and prefectures to come with a secret order. His loyalty is commendable. How can the court kill him? So Xixia thought about whether our dynasty could continue to make the mistakes of Renzong, and handed over Weimingshan and 500 households in the confidant family. Once our dynasty re-produced this confusion, handed over them. Xixia would shoot at the border like he treated his brothers in the mountains. Once Weimingshan died, the people of Suizhou would resent our dynasty for breach of trust. At that time, even as Zhong Yan said, nearly 10,000 Poches and archers stationed in Dali River, Suizhou would also lose."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu shouted.

Wang Ju was also disgraced: "Your Majesty, you won't really make this mistake, right?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
