"Hurry! Hurry up, the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town is ahead. As long as we get there, we will be safe!" Li Liangzuo, who was on the horse, shouted excitedly while riding his horse. The remaining soldiers of the Western Xia behind him were also howling excitedly. During this period, they traveled day and night and finally arrived here.

However, compared to the excitement of Li Liangzuo and the soldiers, Queen Liangzuo, who was closely following Li Liangzuo, frowned because she always felt like she had missed something, and this thing seemed to be very critical, but she couldn't think of it anyway along the way, which made her very distressed.

Li Liangzuo did not notice the strangeness of Queen Liang. He was only thinking about entering the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town and taking over the tens of thousands of troops there. After all, there were only two thousand remaining soldiers left by his side during this period. If he met the Song army, he would have to surrender. This feeling of not being able to control his own destiny made him, the Emperor of Xixia, feel very uncomfortable, but now he no longer has to worry about his safety.

It was precisely because of the above that Li Liangzuo was even more excited to ride his horse, without caring about the physical strength of the horse. Most of the other Xixia soldiers were like this. After all, what they most longed for now is to have a safe place to calm them down.

As Li Liangzuo and his friends ran wildly, after walking around a dry forest, a tall blue city wall finally appeared in front of them. It was the base of the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town. Speaking of which, the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town is the official name of Xixia. This name not only represents an administrative area of ​​Xixia, but also the base of this administrative area. However, this name is too difficult to pronounce. Therefore, most people in the people prefer to call this Heishui City.

The scale of Heishui City is not too large. At least compared with other big cities in Xixia, this city is much smaller and even more incomparable to the size of the city in the Song Dynasty. However, the geographical location of Heishui City is very important because it happens to be located on the Silk Road and is the hub of the Mobei and Hexi Corridor. Therefore, as early as the Sui Dynasty, a large number of residents had settled here. It was not until the founding of the Western Xia that these residences were moved together, and finally formed today's Heishui City.

Although the scale of Heishui City is not large, it is because of its important geographical location. Therefore, there are also large troops stationed here. There is a large river flowing by next to Heishui City, making the surrounding water and grass rich. At the same time, it also makes Heishui City easy to defend and difficult to attack with the benefits of the river. In addition, this big river is very deep, making the river water appear a kind of black, so it is named Heishui River, which is also the reason why Heishui City's name comes from.

Seeing the Hei Shui City in front of him, Li Liangzuo and his soldiers were even more crazy about horse racing. He seemed to want to put on his wings and fly into the city, but the horses on them were at their limit at this time. No matter how the owner of the horse activated them, they could not accelerate, and some of them were foaming at the mouth. After all, they didn't have much rest along the way. At this time, they tried their best to urge the horses. No matter how good the horses were, they probably wouldn't be able to stand it. After entering the city, a large number of these horses would have to be scrapped, and they would no longer be used as war horses.

As the horses ran wildly, Li Liangzuo and the others were getting closer and closer to the gate of Heishui City. And it was daytime now, and they could even see some people coming and going in front of the opened gate, which made Li Liangzuo and the others even more excited, and some people could not help laughing loudly.

But at this moment, Queen Liang suddenly heard her scream: "Your Majesty! Stop quickly, there is something wrong with Hei Shui City!"

Hearing Queen Liang's voice, Li Liangzuo was stunned. At the same time, his legs loosened, which slowed down his horse speed. At this time, Queen Liang caught up from behind, pointed at Heishui City with panic on his face and said, "Your Majesty, look, although the city gate seems normal, the surrounding city walls are covered with scars, and some are still burning, which means that a big battle has just been experienced here..."

Before Queen Liang could finish her words, she saw a Liao army suddenly breaking out from the city. In addition, countless Liao army also surged out from the woods on both sides of the road, surrounding the two thousand of them at once, which also made Li Liangzuo's face look extremely ugly.

"I...I understand, it's Yelu Chongyuan, he should have turned to the Song Dynasty." Seeing these Liao troops rushing out, Empress Liang stood there on the spot. After a long time, she muttered to herself. She finally figured out something wrong, but unfortunately it was too late now.

"Hahahahaha~, when the Emperor came to Heishui City, why didn't he go into the city to rest, but stopped in front of the city gate?" At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the Liao army rushing out of the city gate, and then an old man with white hair and hair walked out of the army. It was Yelu Chongyuan who Li Liangzuo had seen before.

"Yelu Chongyuan!" Li Liangzuo almost squeezed these words from his teeth, and his eyes looked at the other party were extremely resentful. He never expected that Yelu Chongyuan, who was regarded as an ally, would betray him at this critical moment and occupy Hei Shui City. It seems that he was really unable to escape this time.

"Your Majesty, you haven't seen each other for many days. You are much more embarrassed than before. You have already set up a banquet in the city and are waiting for you to go in and drink a few drinks." Yelu Chongyuan seemed to have not seen Li Liangzuo's angry eyes at all. Instead, he smiled and invited him, as if he was really inviting a close friend.

Looking at Yelu Chongyuan with a smile on his face in front of him, Li Liangzuo slowly calmed down from his anger. He looked at the Liao army surrounding him on all sides, and then at the two thousand defeated soldiers behind him. This made his eyes look desperate. Judging from the current situation, he had absolutely no chance of escape.

"Yelu Chongyuan, you only have tens of thousands of troops. This Hei Shui City is extremely strong and the troops stationed are not less than you. How did you occupy this place? Could it be that the guards in the city surrendered to you?" Li Liangzuo suddenly asked. After calming down, he had already put his life and death aside, but instead became interested in how Yelu Chongyuan captured Hei Shui City.

"Haha, thanks to the alliance letter signed by His Majesty the Emperor and I, the guards of Heishui City were not very suspicious of us. They even allowed us to station twenty miles outside Heishui City. Two days ago, I sent someone to enter the city in the name of purchasing wine and meat, and deliberately caused trouble. Then I took this opportunity to capture the city gate in one fell swoop. As a result, I did not spend much effort to capture Heishui City." Yelu Chongyuan laughed proudly again when he heard this. He did not say that he had turned to the Song Dynasty, but he knew that with Li Liangzuo's talent, he should have guessed this long ago.

"So that's it. It seems that I ended up like this. It's all my fault that I don't know what I know. I have laid this hidden danger for myself early!" Li Liangzuo couldn't help but sighed when he heard this, and at the same time he looked depressed. At this time, he had completely accepted his fate. As for the remaining defeated soldiers behind him, although they were extremely angry, their physical strength had already been overdrawn and they were unable to resist at all.

The next thing was very simple. Under Yelu Chongyuan's threat, Li Liangzuo was too lazy to resist anymore, so he directly ordered his soldiers to put down their weapons, and was then escorted to Heishui City by Yelu Chongyuan with Queen Liang. It is worth mentioning that Yelu Chongyuan actually prepared wine and food in the city, and then personally treated Li Liangzuo and his wife. However, after the banquet was over, the couple was strictly detained, and Yelu Chongyuan wanted to use them to exchange some benefits for the Song Dynasty.

A few days ago, Zhao Yan, Yang Wenguang and others in Xingqing Prefecture City finally waited for the messenger sent by Yelu Chongyuan, and learned from the messenger that Li Liangzuo and his wife were arrested, which made them ecstatic. Many people expressed their admiration to Yang Wenguang. After all, this strategy was first thought of by Yang Wenguang.

It turned out that when Yang Wenguang learned that Li Liangzuo was forced to flee to Heishui City by the Liao army, he immediately thought of a solution, which was to send people to Yelu Chongyuan and use alliances as bait to use Yelu Chongyuan to kill or capture Li Liangzuo alive.

Zhao Yan and others felt that it was too whimsical about Yang Wenguang's approach. After all, Yelu Chongyuan and Li Liangzuo were allies, and Yelu Chongyuan has always disliked the Han people, so it was unlikely that he would let him abandon his original allies and form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. However, after Yang Wenguang analyzed the reasons in detail, Zhao Yan and the others felt enlightened. They all agreed at the moment. Now, as Yang Wenguang expected, Yelu Chongyuan really sent troops to capture Li Liangzuo and his wife, which made Zhao Yan not convinced. It seems that Jiang is still so hot!

"Prince, Li Liangzuo has been captured. Yelu Chongyuan will definitely use him to exchange for some benefits with us. This is not something I can decide. What should I do next?" Yang Wenguang also asked Zhao Yan with a happy face in the general's mansion in Xingqing Mansion.

"Don't worry about this old general. My elder brother has arrived from Xi'an Prefecture. I guess he will arrive in the next two days. Then these things will be left to him to handle!" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time. The fact that the alliance with Yelu Chongyuan was true or false was true. He was the one who had decided to send envoys without authorization and could regret it at any time. However, if Zhao Xu agreed, then this alliance could become true. After all, Yelu Chongyuan is also a good pawn.

"That's great. If the Crown Prince in Xingqing Mansion is in charge, we will be much more relaxed!" Yang Wenguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Xu was coming. During this period, he was very powerful in military and political power. Although it seemed like a good thing, he was old and was a little unable to do the heavy government and had long wanted to throw these things to others.

Zhao Yan was also looking forward to Zhao Xu coming to Xingqing Mansion because he wanted to know whether Zhao Xu obeyed Hua Zhi's persuasion. Are he still insisting on making Hua Zhi the crown princess? (To be continued)
