After successfully occupying Ye County, Li De did not stay too much, but continued to move eastward, Li De's next target is Wuyang, for the Xia army that has entered their hinterland, of course, the Song army can not let the Xia army attack everywhere, and soon the news of the Xia army's breakthrough reached the ears of Zhao Wang Zhao Yan, but at this time Zhao Yan has to deal with the threat of the Xia army in the north, and there is no energy to contain Li De's department.
Bianliang, Tokyo Left-behind Mansion.
Zhang Dunli said to the generals under his command: "This official has received the military order of the prince, and now a Xia army has entered the Central Plains, and the prince ordered the official to lead the army to encircle and annihilate, what do you think about this?"
One of the generals stood up and said, "Lord Yu, as far as intelligence knows, this Xia army is led by Yongwang Li De, and they are all cavalry, which belongs to the Yizhou Legion of the Xia Army; Now that this Xia army has given up on Ye County, we don't know where it is now; And if we want to annihilate these 50,000 Xia troops with the new army we recruited, we need at least 200,000 troops."
"The prince has ordered the transfer of 100,000 troops from the Western Front, and Zhong Shuai has also expressed his willingness to fully support us."
Zhang Dunli said; "Spread the official military order, all prefectures and counties must be closely defended to prevent the Xia army from easily attacking the city, and report it as soon as there is news."
"Obedience" The Song army took Zhang Dunli as the commander, gathered 150,000 troops to encircle and suppress Li De's department, of which 100,000 troops were drawn from the western front troops of the division road, and were the main force to encircle and suppress Li De, and the other 50,000 troops were left in Bianliang, Tokyo, in fact, Zhang Dunli was able to command more than the 150,000 troops, there were more soldiers and horses, the total strength should add up to hundreds of thousands, and the remaining soldiers and horses were garrisons from all over the country, although there were a large number of garrisons in various places, but the combat effectiveness was very low, Some are even just names in the soldiers' books.
Although the Song army has successfully established the two defense lines in the north and the west over the years, and has also trained a large number of new troops, the problem of local garrisons has not been completely solved, and they have been completely rotten to the bone.
In the Central Plains, the cavalry of the Xia army has been galloping rapidly, and the Xia army has burned, robbed, and plundered everything wherever it passed, but it rarely kills, especially for ordinary women, children and the elderly, and they don't touch a finger, but it is different for those who are young and strong, either killed or disabled; The reason why Li De did this was actually to consume the Great Song Dynasty, the people's houses and food were burned, and the Great Song Dynasty naturally had to take care of it, if they didn't care, these people would become outcasts, and even become bandits in order to survive, making the rear of the Song army turbulent.
Of course, Xia Jun will naturally discredit his image by doing this, but now Li De can't control it so much; The 50,000 troops under Li De's command were not gathered together, but each 5,000 people acted separately in a team, and the distance between the teams would not exceed ten miles, so that the Xia army would form a large sweeping surface, and in the event of an accident, the various armies would quickly assemble, and the various departments would be contacted by horn orders, and they would set off separately every morning and camp together in the evening.
A small town under the rule of Wuyang in Lijia Town, now Li De's 50,000 troops are stationed in this town, and the people in the town have been expelled, leaving only some women between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five, of course, for this 50,000 army, hundreds of women in this town are of course not enough, for tonight's grand event, the Xia army plundered a hundred miles of suitable women There are 20,000 or 30,000 people.
For such a thing, Li De also turned a blind eye, after all, it is normal for brothers to have such physiological needs when they are fighting outside, and the shouts of women can be heard everywhere in the entire Lijia Town, where Li De lives is a large family in Lijia Town, which is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and it is also very exquisitely built, which is built by Li Hongchang, the largest landlord in Lijia Town.
At this time, Li Hongchang was kneeling in the lobby tremblingly, and behind Li Hongchang knelt the Li family's family; Li De sat on a chair and said to Li Hongchang: "Old thing, tell me, where is your silver buried?"
"The big king and the villain really don't have any silver, just now the little ones have all been explained clearly, the family has only 30,000 taels of silver, or my Li family's ancestors have accumulated it for generations, the king, you have to raise your noble hand."
"This king sees that you don't see the coffin and don't cry, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the land in such a big town is your family's, your family is just a little silver, don't say it's a fool, come and give this old thing a little color."
Li De said to the Xia soldier standing aside.
Soon in front of all the Li family, Li Hongchang was beaten to the skin, Li Hongchang has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been slapped until he is old, where can he withstand such a beating, so he didn't take two whips and said everything, Li Hongchang said to Li De: "King, don't fight, tell you the little one, and the little one will all confess."
After learning the location of the silver, Li De's personal lieutenant immediately led people to find the secret cellar of the Li family, and the entrance of the entire cellar was very hidden, and about seventy or eighty large boxes were lifted out of the cellar; Li De looked at these big boxes and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you old boy to hide a lot of private work."
After Li De finished speaking, he opened one of the large boxes, which were full of silver, and the silver had turned black due to too long time, Li De said with a smile: "You can rest assured that this king will not kill you, this king will say what he says."
In Lijia Town, Li De scavenged a total of more than a million taels, and this is just a small town, the next morning Li De led the army to leave the Li family, before leaving all the people who could not take away were burned, Li De's next target was Wuyang, this is a large county, when the Xia army came to Wuyang, the entire Wuyang was already closed in the city gate, and a large number of people were organized to defend the city, the situation in Wuyang is actually the same as Ye County, these defenders are not actually the Song army, but the families of the big families in the city and a large number of young people, to put it bluntly, a rabble.
In less than an hour, Wuyang fell, in order to take Wuyang Li De lost more than 70 people, which made Li De very angry, so Li De ordered the slaughter of the city, it was the first city slaughtered by the Xia army after entering the Central Plains, Li De was not only venting his anger, but more importantly, he was conveying a signal to the Great Song and Song people, all the cities that resisted would be devastated, and if they did not resist the Xia army, they would just be stronger, and they would spare one.
After resting for two days in Wuyang, Li De led the army to cross the river to the north and take Yuncheng, and then took Linying, Changshe and other places, and the Xia army would give up after staying for two days in every place, and during this time, the Song army had begun to assemble, and the Song army that encircled and suppressed Li De had been prepared, and the army had set off from Bianliang to the south, and the commander of the Song army was Zhang Dunli, although he was already a little old, but Zhang Dunli was still ambitious.
