Li Bingchang led the Xia army under the suggestion of Li Wu to dig the river embankment north of Jiangxi and Jing, Datong, and the boiling river water poured down along the gap, and the surrounding radius of a hundred miles became a Ze country in an instant, the water swallowed everything, many people in their sleep never woke up, and when the day dawned, the river was full of human and livestock corpses.
Time allows us to go back an hour, the people of Xijing City and the soldiers of the Goryeo Army are all asleep, in a house near the city wall, the woman was awakened in the middle of the night, pushed the man next to her and said: "Husband, listen to what kind of movement this 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 played out in various parts of Xijing City, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock are constantly tearing and screaming, and the nature of the animals has made them already predict what will happen in the future, and the Goryeo soldiers guarding the northern city wall are the first to notice the flood and immediately shout: "There is a big flood, there is a big flood" The flood came instantly, slapping the city wall of Goryeo Xijing, the tall city wall blocked the flood, the huge east of the flood can make the city wall crumbling, fortunately the city wall of Xijing is strong enough otherwise it would have collapsed, although the flood did not knock down the city wall, but it poured in from the city wall gate, due to the effect of water pressure, the flood washed the north gate of Goryeo, the turbulent flood flooded Xijing in a very short period of time, and the surviving people could only move to the roof to take refuge, all the food in the citycloth, gold, silver, weapons, and all the other supplies were flooded.
The sky gradually brightened, in a radius of hundreds of miles all have been flooded, not flooded only the Xia army's camp and the city wall of Xijing City, as well as the higher houses, after the tide receded, the water level of the flood began to drop, Li Wu led the soldiers from the surrounding woods to cut some trees to make a raft, under the leadership of Li Wu, the Xia army gave up the war horse, began to support the raft to the Xijing City, but the Xia soldiers were not good at boating, and when Li Wu led people to Xijing City, Wang Huan and Yiwen Zhide had already led some of the remnants of the soldiers to flee south on a raft.
Two days later, the flood was gradually receding, and when the ground dried up again, it was already five days later, and after five days, the Xia army easily occupied Xijingcheng, and at the same time captured the Goryeo soldiers and people who did not have time to escape in Xijingcheng, these people became the free labor of the Xia army, Li Bingchang reorganized these people and began to desilt and rebuild the Datong River embankment, and at the same time, Li Wu sent people to send the battle report to the road for 800 li urgently.
Lu Xiali City, Gao Wei first received the news that the southbound army was secretly attacked and the camp was breached, and it was naturally Xiao Jinghuan who sent the news, Gao Wei was stunned on the spot, no one knows better than Gao Wei how serious it will be if the South Road army is wiped out, the two princes of the Great Xia Kingdom who are most valued by the emperor are in the southbound army, if one of them hangs, Gao Wei's life will be over, and the Goryeo Kingdom is bound to usher in Li Liangzuo's monstrous anger, not to mention that now the two of them do not know whether they are alive or dead.
"My lord, don't be too anxious, maybe the two highnesses will be fine."
Qin Hu persuaded Gao Wei.
Gao Wei said with an anxious face: "Can I not be in a hurry, if the two highnesses are missing a hair, you and I will not be able to get rid of it; Qin Hu gave an order, immediately organize the army to prepare to go south, this time I will personally lead the army to go. ” "My lord, we have withdrawn our troops, what about the Goryeo army in Baozhou and Yizhou" Qin Hu said to Gao Wei; "Let's go south like this, even if Your Highness they are alive, there is no way out, besides, it will take at least three days for the army to gather and go south."
"Now you can't care so much, you hurry up and prepare," Gao Wei said to Qin Hu.
Three days later, Gao Wei was preparing for the swearing-in meeting, and before Gao Wei came to the stage to mobilize, Qin Hu sent a secret letter to Gao Wei and said, "My lord, this is a secret letter from your Second Highness just sent by you. ” After reading it, Gao Wei said with emotion: "It is worthy of being the son of His Majesty, hey, it's all strange that I didn't expect Yiwen Zhide to go back by sea, and almost harmed the two highnesses in dust." ” "My lord, now that the two highnesses are fine, is it not necessary for the army 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 need to go south, and now that the Second Highness has controlled all the cavalry, the infantry in the past will only limit the ability to move." ” "Then what about this pledge meeting," Qin Hu asked Gao Wei.
"That's easy to do."
Gao Wei said with a smile; "As long as the two highnesses are okay, everything will be fine."
Then Gao Wei ascended the colonel stage and said impassionedly to the officers and men of the whole army: "Brothers, do you know what I am calling you together today, our southern army has broken through Xijing in Goryeo, brothers?"
After dealing with this matter, Gao Wei called Xiao Jinghuan to him and said: "Your Royal Highness, now that the victory of our army has been basically determined, the enemy forces in Yizhou and Baozhou have been greatly reduced, and now is the best time to attack. ” "Lord Gao, why don't you send someone else there, this road over the mountains and mountains is not easy to walk," Xiao Jinghuan said with a smile to Gao Wei.
Gao Wei said with a smile: "Your Highness don't worry about not going over the mountains and mountains, this official has already arranged a boat for His Highness, and His Highness can return by sea." ” Now that Xiao Jinghuan has basically lost control of the Boliao Army, it is not interesting to stay here anymore, Xiao Jinghuan thought about it and happily agreed: "Okay, I will go back to meet my father, and this Boliao Army will have Master Lao."
In the imperial study room of the palace of Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo was watching the recital sent back by Gao Wei, and there was Yang Shousu in the imperial study, Yang Shousu had just returned to Beijing and had not returned home before he came to see Li Liangzuo, after Li Liangzuo read the recital, he was very worried about Gao Wei's bold plan, because if this could not be successful, then the entire Liaodong would probably make the Great Xia Kingdom lose its nominal control.
Li Liangzuo asked Yang Shousu: "Yang Aiqing, the situation in Liaodong is really as Gao Aiqing wrote in the melody, it has reached the point where I can't control it. ” "Your Majesty, it is true, although the Boliao State has been low-key in recent years, but the development of the Boliao State can not hide from everyone's eyes, through the maritime Boliao State has earned a lot of wealth in the commercial and trade cooperation with the Great Song Dynasty, and with the development of maritime trade, the relationship between the Boliao State and the Great Song Dynasty is getting closer and closer; Although the Boliao army has not been greatly expanded in recent years, it is obvious that Xiao Tzu Rin is taking the elite route, according to Wei Chen's investigators for more than ten years, although Xiao Tart Rin has not caused a big war, but it has also continued to attack around, and the small war has never stopped.
Yang Shousu reported to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo frowned and said, "What Aiqing means is that Xiao Tzu Rin has been constantly training through skirmishes. ” "Exactly."
Yang Shousu continued; "Your Majesty, although the above is just the speculation of Weichen and others, Your Majesty has to guard against it."
