At the suggestion of Li Wu, Li Bingchang led the Xia army to dig the river embankment north of Datong Jiangxi. The rolling river water poured down the gap, and the surrounding area was a radius of hundreds of miles in an instant. The flood swallowed everything. Many people who were sleeping never woke up again. When it was dawn, the river water was filled with corpses of people and livestock.

Time made us retreat for an hour. The people of Xijing City and the soldiers of the Goryeo Army were all sleeping soundly. In a family near the city wall, the woman was awakened in the middle of the night and pushed the man beside her and said, "Husband, listen to what the noise is, why is the sound so loud!"

"If there is any movement, go to bed quickly!" the man said in a daze.

Scenes like this are staged everywhere in Xijing City. Dogs, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock are constantly yelling. The nature of animals has already predicted what will happen in the future? The Goryeo soldiers guarding the north wall first discovered the flood and immediately shouted loudly: "It's flooding, it's flooding..."

The flood arrived instantly and slapped hard on the city wall of Xijing in Goryeo. The tall city wall blocked the flood. The huge flood could shatter the city wall. Fortunately, the city wall of Xijing was built strong enough, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago. Although the flood did not knock down the city wall, it rushed in from the city gate. Due to the water pressure, the flood washed away the north gate of Goryeo. The surging flood flood flooded the city of Xijing in a very short time. The survivors could only move to the roof for refuge. All the food, cloth, gold, silver, weapons and other supplies in the city were flooded by the flood.

The sky gradually became brighter, and hundreds of miles of radius had been flooded. Only the Xia army's camps, the city walls of Xijing City, and the high houses were left. After the tide receded, the water level of the flood began to drop. Li Wu led his soldiers to cut some trees from the surrounding woods to make rafts. Under Li Wu's leadership, the Xia army gave up the war horses and began to carry the rafts to approach Xijing City. However, the Xia army was not good at boating. When Li Wu led his people to Xijing City, Wang Huan and Yiwen Zhide had already led some of the remaining soldiers to flee south on rafts.

Two days later, the flood gradually receded, and it was five days later when the ground dried up again. Five days later, the Xia army easily occupied Xijing City, and at the same time captured the Goryeo soldiers and people who did not have time to escape in Xijing City. These people became free laborers for the Xia army. Li Bingchang reorganized these people and began to clean up the dike and rebuild the Datong River embankment. At the same time, Li Wu sent people to send the battle report 800 miles to the road.

At the foot of the city, Gao Wei received the first news that the army went south was attacked and the camp was captured. The person who sent the news was naturally Xiao Jinghuan. Gao Wei was stunned on the spot. No one knew better than Gao Wei how serious it would be if the army on the south was wiped out. The two princes who were most respected by the emperor in the Great Xia Kingdom were among the army that went south. If one of them died, Gao Wei would be over in this life, and Gao Li would definitely usher in Li Liangzuo's anger, let alone that both of them were not aware of life and death.

"Sir, don't be too impatient, maybe the two Your Highnesses will be fine." Qin Hu persuaded Gao Wei.

Gao Wei said anxiously: "How can I not be anxious? If the two high men have a hair missing, neither of you nor me will be able to get rid of it. Qin Hu sent an order to organize the army to prepare to go south immediately. Even if I will lead the army in person this time."

"Sir, we have withdrawn our troops. What should we do if the Goryeo Army located in Baozhou and Yizhou?" Qin Hu said to Gao Wei; "We just go south like this, even if His Highness and the others live, there is no way out! Besides, the army gathers south, it will take at least three days."

"I can't take care of that much now, so you can go and prepare!" Gao Wei said to Qin Hu.

Three days later, Gao Wei was preparing for the oath-taking meeting. Before Gao Wei came to the stage to mobilize, Qin Hu delivered a secret letter to Gao Wei and said, "Sir, this is the secret letter that the Second Highness just sent you."

After reading it, Gao Wei said with emotion: "It's worthy of being Your Majesty's son, alright! It's all my fault that I didn't expect Yiwen Zhide to go back by sea, almost causing the two high men to be covered in dust."

"Sir, the two Your Highnesses are fine now. If you are not a big army, don't have to go south?" Qin Hu said to Gao Wei.

Gao Wei nodded and said, "The Second Highness said in the letter that our army does not have to go south. Now the two Highnesses have controlled all the cavalry. In the past, infantry would only limit their mobility."

"Then what should I do about this oath meeting?" Qin Hu asked Gao Wei.

"This is easy to do." Gao Wei said with a smile; "As long as the two high men are fine, everything will be easy to do."

Then Gao Wei climbed to the colonel's stage and said passionately to the soldiers of the army: "Brothers, do you know what I want to call you together today? Our southern army has already captured Xijing in Goryeo, brothers..."

After handling this matter, Gao Wei called Xiao Jinghuan to the front and said, "Your Highness, the victory of our army has been basically confirmed. The enemy troops in Yizhou and Baozhou have been greatly reduced. Now is the best time to attack. I want to ask Your Highness to work hard and return to the north of the Yalu River to advise the King of Boliao, so that he can lead his army to attack the two states and we will support him here."

"Master Gao, why don't you send someone else to go! This road to crossing mountains and ridges is not easy to walk!" Xiao Jinghuan said with a smile to Gao Wei.

Gao Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness don't have to cross mountains and rivers. I have arranged a ship for Your Highness. Your Highness can return by sea."

Now Xiao Jinghuan has basically lost control of the Boliao Army, and it is no longer interesting to stay here. Xiao Jinghuan thought about it and agreed happily, "Okay, I'll go back to meet my father now. The Boliao Army will be in trouble..."

In the imperial study room of the Xingqing Palace Palace, Li Liangzuo was reading the memorial sent by Gao Wei. There was also Yang Shousu in the imperial study room. Yang Shousu had just returned to Beijing and came to meet Li Liangzuo before he even returned home. After Li Liangzuo finished reading the memorial, he was very worried about Gao Wei's bold plan, because if this was not successful, the entire Liaodong would probably cause the Daxia Kingdom to lose its nominal control.

Li Liangzuo asked Yang Shousu: "Yang Aiqing, the situation in Liaodong is really as Gao Aiqing wrote in the memorial, and it has reached a point where I cannot control it."

"Your Majesty, this is true. Although the Boliao Kingdom has been acting low-key in recent years, the development of the Boliao Kingdom cannot be hidden from everyone's eyes. Through sea transportation, the Boliao Kingdom has earned a lot of wealth in trade cooperation with the Song Dynasty. In addition, with the development of maritime trade, the relationship between the Boliao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty is getting closer and closer. Although the Boliao Army has not expanded greatly in recent years, it is obvious that Xiao Talin is taking the elite military route. According to the investigators of the Wei Minister, although Xiao Talin has not triggered too many major wars, he has also continued to attack the surroundings. The small war has never stopped." Yang Shousu reported to Li Liangzuohui.

Li Liangzuo frowned and said, "What I mean is that Xiao Talin has been training through some small conflicts."

"That's right." Yang Shousu continued; "Your Majesty, although the above is just the guess of Weichen and others, your Majesty has to be careful."
