Northwest, Lingzhou.

Dongguan Town, Nanping Prefecture, and Dingbian Town are now home to a large number of Song troops. Not only are there commanding troops from Gao Qiu and Gao Xuan, the army from Xi'an Prefecture and Huaide to the south, but also from Jingyuan Road troops from Xi'an Prefecture and Huaide to the south.

The Jingyuan Army led by Zhe Keshi also got a lot of advantages in the past 10 or 20 days, and took over Weizhou, which the Western thieves voluntarily abandoned, and many other important cities such as the Qingyuan Army City, Mengjing City, Bole City, Yaode City, etc. Moreover, because the Western thieves retreated in a hurry, there was no time to carry out scorched earth combat, many places did not even have time to burn the stored grain, and most of the Han people living in the Weizhou area were left to Zhao Ji as a submissive people.

Lingzhou and Weizhou (Weizhou is also a private prefecture established in Xixia) are one of the few rich towns in Xixia. They not only have a large population, but also have many aristocratic families. If there is not enough time to clean it, it is impossible to make any scorched earth. Therefore, as soon as the heavenly soldiers of the Song Dynasty arrived, they quickly dug out a large amount of stored grain, which was enough to support the army under the city of Lingzhou for a long time!

And it is already late summer, and in the near future it will be golden autumn. At that time, Lingzhou, known as the Jiangnan in the Fortress, will become a huge granary!

As for digging the Yellow River dam and using water instead of soldiers, this time it was not very good. Because this time, the Song army surrounded Lingzhou after repeatedly damaging the main force of the Western thieves. Therefore, the Western thieves no longer have the ability to move outside Lingzhou City, so it is difficult to dig the Yellow River dam in a specific location. There is a section of river embankment in the west of Lingzhou City that can be dug for the Western thieves, but after digging there, the first one to be flooded was Lingzhou City itself.

So now Lingzhou City is already a ripe fruit, and I am waiting for Gao Xuanshuai to pick it.

And what Gao Qiu could get seemed to be more than one Lingzhou City.

Zhao Ji approved the edict of Gao Qiu to negotiate with the Western thieves, and was sent to the camp of Dongguan Town outside Lingzhou City a day ago by Tong Guan's confidant Lu Qian.

The reason why such a hand-edict was sent was because Gao Qiu wrote a secret letter to Zhao Ji twenty days ago, saying that the Western thieves and the Khitan sent envoys to Lingzhou and were willing to start a peace talk on issues such as cedes and surrendering and surrendering. He also said that Lingzhou City could be taken down through peace talks, so Zhao Ji followed the flow and gave Gao Qiu a hand-edict, and wrote his own conditions on the hand-edict. One, two, three, four, five were the terms discussed with Cai Jing, Su Dongpo, Wu Haogu and other ministers in Chongzheng Hall that day.

He just wanted to be a father to Qianshun, and he also had to educate Qianshun to be a Han Chinese and a good minister of the Song Dynasty. Basically, he spoke loudly, at least in Zhao Ji's opinion, nothing could be achieved. However, he still told Gao Qiu about these conditions so that he could put some pressure on Qianshun.

Well, although there are "diplomatists" like Zhang Kangguo, Su Che, and Lin Rong in Jiehe Market, Gao Qiu has an army of 100,000 people who are convinced by virtue...

"Li Liangmin, you can take a look, too."

Gao Qiu handed the emperor's edict brought by Lu Qian to an old man named Li Liangmin, the richest man in Dongguan Town. He was a family of old man hundreds of years ago. He is now a Han Chinese, and he also has the Chinese name given by Gao Qiu, named Li Liangmin, a great good man!

Now Gao Qiu placed his central army in Li Liangmin's manor, and also took two of the Li family's watery granddaughters as concubines. He also asked Li Liangmin and his two sons to walk between Lingzhou City, Dongguan Town, as personal flesh soundtracks.

In Lingzhou City, the Western thieves and the Khitan envoys had already been in place. The Western thieves sent an official named Mouning Keren, while the Khitan envoy was Gao Qiu's old rival Xiao Heda. The two envoys were not very important, and they couldn't think of anything big...

"Shishou Xuan," Li Daliangmin, who was smiling, had already read the hand edict of Emperor Song, and handed it back to Gao Qiu in both hands. "The Western thieves dare not refuse to obey the conditions of Tian Khan... But the Khitans are not so easy to talk to! I'm afraid, I'm afraid the talk can't be done?"

Gao Qiu waved his hand and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen. I'm very reasonable. You will go to Lingzhou tomorrow and tell Mouning Keren and Xiao Heda about the emperor's conditions. Then tell them that if they don't hand over Lingzhou City, I will attack you by force! Lingzhou will definitely not be able to be defended!"

Gao Qiu and Zhe Keshi's army are not waiting these days, but collecting wood and building siege equipment. In another ten days, it will be almost done. At that time, 100,000 troops will attack together, and Lingzhou City will definitely not be able to defend.

Therefore, Gao Qiu would not let the Dangxiang people in Lingzhou City delay indefinitely!

...

Zhao Ji's terms of peace talks were soon taken to Xingqing Prefecture by Xiao Heda himself.

"Old Prince, Brother Cha, what do you think?"

"Wuzhu, the conditions of the Song Lord are indeed too harsh! Not only do you want to have Yin, Xia, You, Yan, Shuo, Wei, Ling and other seven states, but you also want to have your subordinates and recognize your father. It's really too much..."

The old prince Yelu Otla touched his beard and rolled his eyes while talking, naturally thinking about how to dig a hole for Gao Qiu.

In fact, the conditions offered by Zhao Ji were beyond Yelu Otla's expectations. It was natural to ask Qianshun to accept his father, and to ask Yin, Xia, You, Yan, Shuo, Wei, and Ling Qizhou to be a Han people. However, it was not expected that Yelu Otla would not have thought of it.

"I have praised the ministers and the sons in the past." The Grand Secretary of the Xixia Emperor Ling Weiming Anhui looked melancholy, "But if we want to abolish our writing, hairstyle, clothes, and build Confucian schools, it is like digging our roots!"

Isn’t it just digging the roots! Yelu Otla thought: Khan Zhao Ji was really cruel this day! Not only did he be the master of Qianshun, but he also wanted to transform and educate Qianshun... Li Shimin was not as cruel as him!

King Cha Ge of Jin also brought troops back from the Qin Wangchuan army. At this moment, he was really sad and sighed. When he heard An Hui's words, he sighed: "If you don't agree, will Gao Qiu retreat? Lingzhou cannot be defended... There are not many soldiers in the city, and it is impossible to send troops there anymore. Moreover, Lingzhou is still a granary. After the autumn, Gao Qiu will not be trapped by military rations.

At that time, his army will cross the Yellow River and come to Xingqing Prefecture! If we want to fight, we will have to move westward to Liangzhou immediately..."

"King, you can't save yourself even if you go to Liangzhou!" Xiao Heda said, "How far is Liangzhou from Lingzhou? It's only five or six hundred miles... If there is enough food, Gao Qiu's army will pass by in ten days."

Brother Cha sighed.

Can't beat it!

Since last year, the blood of the Dangxiang nationality has flowed out like a fountain! The most elite Iron Harrier and the garrison have almost died a half.

The Dangxiang country is not Han people, with a population of tens of thousands, and can withstand huge casualties. The Dangxiang people have to survive by slaughtering millions. If they die, the weak, women and children, only more than 200,000 people can come out to serve in the army. After being fucked by the mother Xiao Liang for more than ten years, the number of men with fewer than ten thousand was reduced. Renduo Baozhong, who took at least 10,000 away, lost more than 20,000 in the battle on the Wuding River, lost only more than 10,000 in the battle of Xingzhou Desert (excluding the Han people). Thousands of men were lost in the battle of Kings of Qin, trapped in Lingzhou, and tens of thousands of men with no origin in Weizhou. Together, there were almost 10,000 men with no success!

Moreover, the 100,000 strong men who have lost are the most elite population among the Dangxiang people, and the remaining 100,000 strong men are incomparable!

In addition, in addition to population losses, the losses of equipment and military supplies are also amazing.

Moreover, the important military-industrial towns in Xixia have always been in Xiazhou and Lingzhou. The craftsmen of Hengshan Fanmen in Xiazhou and Han craftsmen in Lingzhou have supported more than two-thirds of the supply of weapons and armor in Xixia.

Now that these two places are gone, the supply of weapons and equipment for the Xixia army will be difficult in the future. How dare you let go of your hands and feet?

Besides, if you are lucky, the most you can use is 100,000 strong men. If you don’t beat him, it’s not just a Han person, but a question of whether anyone can be a Han person.

"Is it God wants our party to destroy the clan?" Gan Shun lamented while looking at the old Khitan prince Yelu Otla.

"It's not that there is no way out..." Yelu Otla and Xiao Heda looked at each other, and then said, "The only thing that the Song army can think about is Gao Qiu. If we can design that Gao Qiu and Zhao Ji and the king and ministers suspicious of each other, Dangxiang would not be afraid of no chance of revival."

"But I heard that Gao Qiu was born in Zhao Ji's hidden residence and was extremely favored..."

"So what if you are favored?" Xiao Heda said, "After all, the Song Dynasty values ​​culture over military affairs, and Gao Qiu is a martial artist... Now he is suspected of gaining troops and self-respecting himself. If we make more money, we will not be afraid that the Song people will not be deceived."

"Is that true?" Gan Shun asked, "Xiao Heda, what are your tricks?"

"It's not a clever plan," said Xiao Heda, "just ask the soldiers to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens on Gao Qiu's side, and at the same time let the envoys who went to Jiehe Shangshi City argue.

In addition, you can also give Gao Qiu a generous gift. Please ask him to ask for officials and land in front of Zhao Ji."

"Please?" Gan Shun was stunned and shook his head, "How is it possible? Gao Qiu is not stupid, how could he agree to this matter?"
