Chapter 639

Hearing the great victory in Taiyuan undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Anchao soldiers.

On the contrary, after hearing that the Liao Kingdom was defeated, the soldiers of Xixia were shocked.

Even the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, which is known as the invincible in the world, can't beat An Chao?
When did An Chao become so powerful?

And Li Yuan even overturned the desks in the imperial study after seeing the report.

"Hmph!" Li Yuan said to Wu Hao, "The Liao Kingdom can't even defeat Li Zhun! An Chao has a 60 army, and An Chao has the same strength. Zuo was beaten to the wind and fled, and... I heard that Yanmen Pass was a woman's planner! And Meng Gongzuo, the most famous general in the world, also gained his reputation, 30 Liao cavalry, known as the invincible Liao cavalry, this time unexpectedly Losing tens of thousands in Xinzhou, I lost even this last fig leaf!"

Wu Hao knew that Li Yuan was very dissatisfied with Liao's failure this time, and Wu Hao also felt that he had been tricked by Liao.Because Xixia rebelled against An Dynasty and became a country on its own under the guarantee and provocation of Zhang Yuanzhi.

But now, the Liao Kingdom can't even defeat the army of the An Dynasty without Xiao Mo, and Xixia was also tricked by Zhong Shiheng to remove Yeli Wangrong, and also incorporated the party led by Yeli Yuqi and Wuzang Yepang Dajun, this hurt Xixia's vitality greatly!

What made matters worse was that Xiao Mo was unreasonable. Not only did he not accept Xixia's peace talks, but he also detained Zhang Yuan who was going to negotiate.

Zhang Yuan was the mainstay of the Xixia government, and Li Yuan's most strategic minister, so he was detained by Xiao Mo. After suffering this suffocating loss, Xixia fell into a predicament even more.

Now the attack can't go out, and the Anjun is waving the flag every day, but there is only thunder but no rain, and they don't give Xixia a happy feeling. For the ministers, generals and soldiers of Xixia, don't mention how uncomfortable it is!
What worries Wu Hao and Li Yuan most is that these Xixia soldiers used to belong to the establishment of the An Dynasty. After all, they were still soldiers of the An Dynasty. Letters were shot into Xiping City, bewitching and persuading the soldiers in Xiping Mansion to surrender.

As a result, the Xixia soldiers whose morale was already low were shaken one after another. Fortunately, Li Yuan ordered in time to let Wei Mingshouquan suppress the public opinion, and took tough measures to prevent these soldiers from having second thoughts!
But in this way, there was also a resentment among the Xixia soldiers. Of course...they dare not burst out this resentment, they can only hide it in their hearts.

This is what Zhong Shiheng wanted. After receiving the news of the great victory in Taiyuan and Xixia general Wei Mingshouquan forcefully killed some soldiers with two hearts, which made the soldiers of Xixia even more resentful. Cao Xiang and Ye Liyuqi said: "Two generals, it is the first ten days of September, and the day when we agreed with Lord Xiao to attack Xingqing Mansion is not far away! Now the time is ripe, Xixia soldiers have a lot of resentment towards Wei Mingshouquan , and Li Yuanliao's repeated tyranny has caused everyone in Xiping and Xingqing to be in danger! Now that Xixia's army is unstable and people's hearts are unstable, it is difficult to fight. According to my official, the time for us to attack has come!"

Hearing Zhong Shiheng's words, Cao Xiang nodded, while Ye Li Yuqi asked impatiently, "Mr. Zhong, when shall we enter the army?"

Zhong Shiheng said: "The city walls of Xiping Mansion are strong and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can only be outsmarted! But Wei Mingshouquan insists on defending Xiping, and we can't hold on, so we must find a way!"

Hearing Zhong Shiheng's words, Ye Liyu frowned and asked, "Could it be that the soldiers sent out of Xiachuan?"

Zhong Shiheng shook his head, and said: "The soldiers sent out to Xiachuan, not to mention mobilizing many people, the effect is not very great. Now Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion are each other's horns, only the crossing river behind Xingqing Mansion can attack, even if the army goes around Go behind Xingqing Mansion, this Xiping Mansion still has nothing to do, instead it gives Li Yuan every opportunity to defeat him!"

Hearing Zhong Shiheng's words, Ye Li Yuqi was at a loss, so he asked: "How do you think that kind of minister should use troops?"

Zhong Shiheng thought for a while, and then said: "We must let Wei Ming Shouquan's army fight out. Now Wei Ming Shouquan can't hold out because Xixia is weak, but it is also because of this that the Xixia army is uncertain! Ruo Ye General Li defends his reputation, and when a fighter opportunity is very favorable, will he come out and win a battle to stabilize the morale of the army?"

Ye Liyu asked: "Mr. Zhong said, let Wei Mingshouquan go out of the city by himself? Is that possible?"

Zhong Shiheng smiled and said, "Of course it is possible!"

After all, Zhong Shiheng said to Cao Xiang: "Order the army to retreat thirty miles!"

Cao Xiang went to take the order, and Ye Liyu asked, "Mr. Zhong, retreated thirty miles. Didn't you leave Xixia?"

Zhong Shiheng said, "That's right, it's time to retreat!"

Zhong Shiheng's order is very firm and cannot be questioned by anyone!
With the order of the military, the Anchao army began to rise up, but the guarding army fell behind.

This was obviously done by Zhong Shiheng on purpose, he wanted to use food and grass to seduce Wei Mingshouquan to send troops!
As for Zhong Shiheng, He Yeli Yuqi and Cao Xiang led the army, and they really retreated thirty miles away.

The soldiers on the city wall saw that the camp of the Anchao army disappeared overnight, and only some soldiers seemed to be loading food and grass, so they hurriedly reported to Wei Mingshouquan.

Wei Mingshouquan heard this, and said to Zhang Jiang and Xu Min: "This is Zhong Shiheng's plan, trying to lure us into sending troops!"

Both Zhang Jiang and Xu Min nodded, and then Wei Mingshouquan said to the soldiers: "Go, ask who the general of the An Army is!"

The soldiers went outside the city wall to inquire again, and then reported to Wei Mingshouquan: "General, the general of Anjun is that Yang Hong!"

"Yang Hong?" Wei Mingshouquan thought for a while after hearing this, and then said to Zhang Jiang and Xu Min: "Yang Hong is brave but not resourceful, this time Zhong Shiheng let him fall behind, he must be luring us to fight , but we didn’t send troops, but opened the city gate, just lured him Yang Hong to seize the city gate, and then got rid of Yang Hong, a confidant! "

Zhang Jiang asked: "Yang Hong alone, I'm afraid they won't come to seize the city gate!"

Wei Mingshouquan laughed, and said: "This man is brave but not resourceful. When he is in a hurry, he will come to Duo City Gate! This is just a plan!"

Then Wei Mingshouquan ordered the city gate to be opened, but did not send soldiers out of the city.

Seeing that the gate of Xiping City was opened, Yang Hong was overjoyed, and then made his [-] soldiers prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time sent someone to inform Yeli Yuqi who was ambushing not far from Xiping City.
