The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 98
Zhao Tun raised his eyebrows, Yang Zhi was able to bring people directly to the West Sea, which showed that it was indeed urgent.

Ling Bing gasped and said: "Your Majesty, report urgently ahead, and we will lose again after Zhancheng."

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it Zhancheng? That place must be lost several times in a year."

Jiezhancheng is the farthest point to the west of Longyou Duhufu. It is connected to the Xizhou Uyghur at the top, the Kara Khan in the East at the front end, which is Heikhan, and the Tubo tribes at the bottom.

This festival occupied the city, it was too far away from the rear, and frankly speaking, Song Dynasty did not have the ability to take root to guard this place, but when the soldiers pointed at it, they were invincible, so they insisted on hitting here.

This was not done when Xihe opened the border, Xihe also fought to the front line of Qingtang City when Xihe opened the border, and then withdrew back.

This 2000-mile-long straight line of Longyou land is comparable to two-thirds of Xixia's land as a whole. It was fought in the Battle of Hehuang, and it was fought by Tong Guan and Wang Hou all the way!
It is the famous story of Tong Guan Wanghou's expedition, the imperial city of Tokyo caught fire, the emperor Daojun ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Tong Guanzang resisted the order.

In this battle, all the chiefs of the Kucha, Khotan, and Uighur tribes surrendered, Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Uighurs were all wiped out, and Xining Prefecture expanded its territory by more than [-] miles.

According to this point of view, if given time, it is inevitable to pacify Xixia, but everything is not if.

At this point, the largest territory since the founding of the Song Dynasty appeared. Yes, it appeared in the era of Emperor Daojun. In addition to being obsessed with calligraphy, painting and strange stones, indulging in wine, sex and fun, he also has a heart that is eager to move.

Hei Khan and Great Song are still in harmony, but the Uighurs have wars from time to time, and there have always been gains and losses over the years of occupying the city. After a long time of back and forth, the two sides don't care too much.

In fact, there were only one thousand troops stationed in the city of Jiezhan in the Song Dynasty. These thousand soldiers were still miscellaneous soldiers. There were several kinds of clans alone, but they had been dealing with each other for several years.

At this moment, the soldier took the wax pills: "My lord, the details are in the letter. This time is different from the past."

Zhao Tang took the wax pill and took out the secret message: "What's the difference?"

The soldiers said: "The three princesses of the Xizhou Uighurs, after they captured the city of Jiezhan, they went all the way to the east."

The Xizhou Uighurs were named because their land was originally Xizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and because their capital was Gaochang City, they were also called Gaochang Uighurs.

Zhao Tang's hand stopped slightly: "What is the third Uighur princess?"

The soldiers said: "Your Majesty, the third daughter of Uighur Bilgehan in Xizhou, her name is Liyanaza."

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "Liya... Nazha?"

The soldiers said: "It's the prince, among the tribes of the children of Bilge Khan, the third princess Liyanazha's tribe is the strongest!"

Zhao Tun thought for a while, and at this time the Uyghurs were still following the style of the Tang Dynasty, and both men and women were leading troops, and there were members of their own tribe.

He frowned and read the letter from beginning to end, then raised his whip and said, "Go back to Xining Prefecture."

At night, in Longyou Protectorate's Mansion, butter and wax hung high above the hall, illuminating the hall brightly. Gao Yongsui was shocked, and almost shouted: "My lord wants to lead the troops in person? That's not right, it's absolutely not right ah!"

Zhao Tun showed no expression: "Kochi Prefecture, what's wrong?"

Gao Yongsui hurriedly said: "My lord, if you lose Zhancheng in that festival, you will lose it. Along the way, except for the military city, there are villages. Where can the three Uighur princesses go? And as far as I know, her headquarters There are only ten thousand people, there are at most a thousand cavalry, and there is no supply, and it will not take long for Jiezhan City to turn east. When the soldiers in the rear army city advance in an orderly manner, Jiezhan will naturally be recovered."

Zhao Tong laughed and said: "That's all? But I have read the battle reports from previous years, and all the Uighur ministries have finished fighting and occupying the city. After searching and looting, they will withdraw immediately. How can they continue to go deeper?"

Gao Yongsui said anxiously: "Because of this, the lord can't take any risks. If the lord is a thousand-year-old noble body, if there is a mistake, the subordinates will die!"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "You have been in the northwest for a long time, so you should have the ambition of the highlands. Why are you looking forward and backward? Since this king is in charge of the army in the capital, if he never sees any battles, wouldn't it be a joke!"

Gao Yongsui's face became more and more ugly when he heard the words. Although he was born as a general, it was not easy for him to survive to this day. Half of the reason was because of his elder brother Gao Yongnian's glory. If something happened to King Qi in Longyou, then he would have no trouble Well done.

Moreover, although his Gao family belonged to the northwest and was related to Zhe's family by marriage, they followed Tong Guan's lineage. In the battle of Longyou, Gao Yongnian was Wang Hou's deputy general, and he had a relationship with him.

Tong Guan's letter had been delivered long before Zhao Tun arrived in Xining Prefecture, and there was no other order in the letter, the only thing was to ensure the safety of King Qi.

Gao Yongsui wanted to cry but had no tears: "My lord, this matter is absolutely wrong!"

Zhao Tong looked at him with a frown, and said: "Gaozhizhou, what are you doing with a mournful face, the king has made up his mind, he will bring his troops tomorrow, and send another thousand soldiers to Longyou, just take this opportunity to inspect Longyou, you go back. "

On the second day, Zhao Tuo ordered troops in front of the city, and the [-] forbidden troops brought by Tokyo only took cavalry. He looked at these people and said indifferently: "Follow me to chase and suppress the Uighurs, are you afraid?"

A thousand cavalrymen of the imperial guards in Gyeonggi, whose arms and legs have been trained by Xu Ning these days are a lot thicker than when they came, but they heard that it was a war, and they couldn't help feeling terrified.

Zhao Tang looked at them, sneered and said: "There is a beautiful young lady, graceful and charming, good at singing and dancing, it is said that she is the Uighur princess, she only brought more than a thousand people with her and no supplies, this king wants to bring you and Longyou troops , a total of more than 2000 people are going to capture this little girl alive, are you afraid?"

After hearing these words, all the imperial guards changed their expressions. They looked at each other happily and shouted together: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, capture the young lady alive and give it to the second king!"

Gao Yongsui's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he saw this scene. Is this the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army?Can this also fight?He hurriedly said: "My lord, is one thousand soldiers from Longyou a bit small? Let me add another two thousand?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "It's not about siege. There are too many people and it's inflexible, and the supplies can't keep up. Should I let the king bring more luggage?"

Gao Yongnian opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, but stared at the wooden boxes on the car, wondering in his heart, since he didn't want to bring more luggage, then what are these boxes for?

After some lectures, Zhao Tang brought along Liu Suiyun, Lu Da, Yang Zhi, and Zhe Zhichang, along with a thousand Imperial Guards, a thousand Longyou cavalry, a hundred Scarlet Pioneers, and nearly five hundred luggage. More than 2000 rural soldiers left Qingtang to the west.

Qingtang is more than [-] miles forward, and there is a military city about every [-] miles. The permanent soldiers in the military city range from three to five hundred, and there are no people in the city. There are thirteen military cities between Xining Prefecture and Jiezhan City.

Zhao Tun walked along the route of the military city, and if he had any doubts, he would always explain it to the soldiers. Every time he went to a military city, he would linger for a while, or even stay overnight. Before leaving, he would open the wooden box in the car, but some The heads of military cities are all given out in money.

All the things during this period were done by Liu Suiyun, Liu Suiyun's warm spring breeze made people feel close at first sight, handed out money with his own hands, and spread lotus flowers with his tongue. If the eye sockets are shallow, it means that the eyes are moist without realizing it.

After such a delay, a few days passed, and on this day Zhezhi Chang suddenly said: "My lord, there are only more than 300 miles away from Jiezhan City, please still ask for armor."

Zhao Tun had no choice but to put on light armor with Liu Suiyun, and then asked: "How many military cities are there in front?"

Zhezhi often said: "There are only two remaining military cities, which are Jiezhan. If the Uighurs did not withdraw their troops, they would reach here the farthest."

Zhao Tong nodded, the team moved forward, and after less than a dozen miles, a foreign soldier scouted the dust and came back. When they got close, they hurriedly rolled off their horses, bowed down and said, "My lord, the Uighur enemy soldiers are found ahead, and they are attacking the military city!"
