A day later, inside the camp of the summer army.
Zhao Ge came to Li Qing's Chinese army tent, and Li Qing was meeting with the envoys sent by Xiao Yuanshan at this time; The envoy said to Li Qing: "Your Royal Highness King Yan, my marshal has fallen out with the Song court, and he was forced to fight with the Xia army before, and he ate for his brothers; Now the Great Song Dynasty does not give us a way to live, we can only rise up and resist; Now this Texas City is in our hands, my handsome family wants to do a business with you, the prince let us go, the whole Texas City belongs to the prince, I don't know what the prince wants about this business" "Xiao Yuanshan is really a big city, so he gave it to this king."
Li Qing said with a sneer; "You really think that this king is a fool, you pat your ass and leave, and throw this mess to this king to deal with; It's very simple to leave here, it's nothing more than a word from this king, and it's very simple to let this king let you go, except for Texas City, you have to leave half of the grain and grass, and you can take all the rest with you; Okay, okay, no, this king is here to consume you, if you drive out of the city, don't blame this king for being polite, if the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty come, you just can't leave if you want to. ” The envoy was very embarrassed when he heard Li Qing's words and said: "Okay, I have agreed for my marshal, and our army will first send a quarter of the grain and grass to the prince's camp, and the remaining quarter will stay in the city."
"Don't bother so much, this king will send someone to contact you when the time comes."
Li Qing said with a smile.
After Xiao Yuanshan's envoy left, Li Qing glanced at Zhao Ge, who was standing aside, and asked, "The wine has woken up." ” Zhao Ge didn't speak, just nodded, and Li Qing continued: "How can the military regulations not be told to you by this king, and you will accept the punishment yourself; In addition, because you were drunk and mishap, and delayed an excellent battle plane of this king, you will be fined for three months from now on. ” "Yes, the last general commands" The person who was sent to Dezhou City to hand over to Xiao Yuanshan was Zhao Ge, and in the early morning Zhao Ge led an army of 10,000 to the border of Dezhou City to defend the city, and at the same time there was half of the grain and grass; In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Ge was very vigilant when leading the army into the city, and the soldiers of the Xia army who entered the city were ready to fight, and once there was an exception, it would immediately unfold the same, Zhao Ge led the army into the city from the north gate, and at the first moment of entering the city, the entire north gate was under the control of the Xia army, so that once an accident occurred in the city, Li Qing, who was outside the city, would immediately send reinforcements.
Outside the Liaoguo Mansion in Dezhou City, Xiao Yuanshan's was already waiting, all the gold, silver, soft and other valuable things in the Guogong Mansion had been packed and taken away, Zhao Ge took hundreds of soldiers and came to the Liaoguo Mansion, and when he saw Xiao Yuanshan saluting and said, "Old General Xiao is not harmed."
"It turned out to be General Zhao Ge."
Xiao Yuanshan also returned the salute and said; "General Zhao, do you want to go in and check it out?"
"It doesn't have to be."
Zhao Ge said; "Where is the old general, the world is big, except for the Song Dynasty, there is only the Great Xia Empire, it is better for the old general to surrender to the Great Xia Empire, His Royal Highness King Yan has been friends with the old general for a long time, if the old general is willing to surrender, the prince will be very happy."
"General Zhao, the Tao is not the same."
Xiao Yuanshan said to Zhao Ge; "Ben Shuai left in addition to half of the grain and grass that King Yan said, Ben Shuai will also leave all the Song army prisoners, and the general will send someone to the military camp to hand over, Ben Shuai will leave."
After Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, he turned over and left, with the departure of Xiao Yuanshan and the remnant Liao army and people, the entire Dezhou City officially fell into the hands of Li Qing, the king of Yan, and the entire Dezhou Battle Xia Army did not lose a single soldier, Li Qing only used a trick to complete all this, and more importantly, Xiao Yuanshan, the remnant Liao force, was successfully stripped from the Song army, that is to say, from now on, the Song army will not only have to face the Xia army, but also face Xiao Yuanshan, the remnant Liao force.
For Xiao Yuanshan's evacuation, the Xia army did not have any pursuit, and Li Qing also took great pains to send Xiao Yuanshan and his subordinates out of Texas, Li Qing did not do this with good intentions, but purely from his own interests and the interests of the Great Xia Empire, in Li Qing's opinion, Xiao Yuanshan has changed from the perspective of an enemy to the perspective of a friend.
Daimyo Zhao Wangfu.
Zhao Qun hurriedly ran to Zhao Yan and said, "The prince is not good."
"What's the matter, tell me slowly."
Zhao Yan said to Zhao Qun.
Zhao Qun said: "Lord Wang, Xiao Yuanshan is the opposite. ” Zhao Yan frowned and asked, "What's the other way around?"
According to the report of the defeated army, Xiao Yuanshan and Li Qing, the king of Yan, conspired to capture the city of Dezhou, and were found by the history of the Texas assassin and put in prison; However, Xiao Yuanshan's son Xiao Feng led the Liao army to rebel, which caused the fall of Dezhou City, and the history of Dezhou Assassin has been killed," Zhao Qun reported to Zhao Yuyu.
Zhao Yu continued to ask: "Where is Xiao Yuanshan now?"
"I don't know yet, the last general has already sent someone to investigate."
Zhao Qun said to Zhao Yan; "There will be news soon, according to the foolish opinion of the last general, Xiao Yuanshan is probably already in the summer camp at this time."
"Not necessarily."
Zhao Yan said; "As soon as there is Xiao Yuanshan's movement, report it immediately."
"Yes, the last will understand" "Now that Texas City has been lost, our eastern defense has been broken."
Zhao Yan walked to the map and said; "Where has the vanguard army of the Xia Army arrived?"
"Lord Yu, the 100,000 forward army of the Xia army, commanded by Yan Shu, has captured Qinghe."
Zhao Qun reported to Zhao Yuyu.
"Without worries, the Xia army will move south quickly along the canal, and our army is not heavily guarded along the way, and the Xia army can be said to be unimpeded to the south."
"Lord Wang, then what should we do, do we want to transfer General Zhang Miao back from the distance."
Zhao Qun suggested.
"Where did the follow-up reinforcements from Bianliang stay with Zhang Dunli go?"
asked Zhao Yan.
"Lord Wang, the 300,000 army has been recruited, and it has now crossed the Yellow River to Puyang."
"Order the follow-up reinforcements to speed up and directly enter the Guanshi, and order Zhang Dunli to urgently recruit troops, and send every 100,000 to the Daimyo's Mansion under the personal command of the king."
Zhao Yan ordered.
"Yes, the last general will send someone to give the order."
"This king can't use crowd tactics, and he can't kill you."
Although Zhao Yan lost a large number of elites, but Zhao Yan still has a large number of follow-up troops, these follow-up Xiang troops and township soldiers have undergone military training, much stronger than the recruits just recruited, although a large number of Central Plains people have gone south, but there are still a lot of people in the Central Plains and Jingdong and Shandong regions, and most of the people left are strong, these people are enough to provide Zhao Yan with a large number of troops, maybe their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but the victory is in a large number, relying on the defense of the city is not much problem.
The battle came to this point, Zhao Yan could only use the tactics of the sea of people, and this tactic was the most effective for the Xia army, as Zhao Yan said, after the worries of Texas without it, the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Army of the Xia Army was under the leadership of Li Qing, the king of Yan, all the way down the canal to the south, and the cities, villages and towns along the way fell into the hands of the Xia army, but there were basically not many people in these places, and those who could run had already run.
The first is to continue to ask for support:
