As for whether Li Qianshun would send troops to help, Yang Hua was not sure, but Jian Chuan was very sure. No, definitely not, because at this time, Su Yun had led Yan Yun's army into the hinterland of Xixia, winning consecutive battles. The sword pointed at the capital of Xixia.
This was Jian Chuan's plan. He would use a trick to hold back the 100,000 elite troops of Xixia, and then Su Yun would lead Yan Yun's army commander to drive straight in. After that, Jian Chuan would chase Yang Hua to the territory of Xixia and Su Yun would attack them from both sides, and then they would be completely wiped out. Join forces at one point and continue to move north. After one battle, they all succeed.
The key to this game is whether Jian Chuan can complete the delay of self-rescue in the early stage. Once Jian Chuan completes this premise, victory is basically within sight. At this time, the real pressure is transferred to Zong Ze. Sichuan is confident that it will be successful in one battle, but only if the Liao Kingdom does not interfere.
Therefore, what Zongze has to face is the constant threat of surprise attacks against the Liao Kingdom to ensure that the Liao Kingdom will not have the opportunity to aid Xixia. However, who are Wanyan Aguda and Zhang Zhong? Although Zongze has unparalleled talents, facing The Liao Kingdom was still stretched thin in the battle between the trapped beasts, and although it tried its best to maintain it, it could not last for a few days. There was no way, everyone knew that Xixia Li Qianshun had already cornered Jianchuan, so this battle was actually a battle to destroy the country, and Xixia Once it is destroyed, the Liao Kingdom will be unable to survive alone. Under the oppression of today's powerful Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the country will not be able to survive for a few years.

Therefore, it is natural to use all our efforts to rescue the grasshopper on a rope. In such a critical situation, how can we care about anything else.
It can be imagined what kind of pressure Zongze faced. It should be noted that Jianchuan only left him 50,000 soldiers and horses. It might be okay to use these 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, but he wanted to go to the border of Xia and Liao to stop the Liao. The continuous reinforcements from the country were somewhat overestimating their capabilities. Even so, Zongze still chose to march without any hesitation. On the border, there were constant raids and intrusions, and he had no complaints or regrets.
However, it is difficult to support a single tree and it will not last long. Half a month is already Zongze's limit. If he continues to fight, he may not even be able to save Wuzhou City. When he was in a state of desperation, Zhao Xu came to Wuzhou City and led the army to conquer it. 80,000 soldiers and horses came. These 80,000 soldiers and horses came from the Royal Forest Army and garrisons transferred from all over the country.
It can be said that the Song Dynasty has also made a desperate move.
The addition of 80,000 new troops undoubtedly greatly relieved Zongze's pressure, but what followed was another pressure. This pressure came from the emperor. After all, Zongze was different from Jianchuan. He was stationed at the border all year round. I have never seen the emperor more than a few times over the years, so I am very afraid of the emperor giving random orders.
But as a minister, you still have to fulfill your duties, so you can only ask for instructions and repay everything, and naturally you are a little constrained.
Unexpectedly, Zongze was not anxious yet, but Zhao Xu was anxious first. When Zongze came to report to him again, he said in a deep voice: "General Zong, Uncle Wang said that you are the best general in the world. He is a talented person, but in the past few days, I have been a little disappointed."
Hearing this, Zongze was suddenly startled. He thought to himself that the emperor wanted to take away his military power. What would happen? At the moment, his military deployment has just started. If he was taken away from his military power, it would be a big deal. . So he was also worried and asked for forgiveness without knowing why.
But I heard Zhao Xu say: "I came here to boost the morale of the army. I am not familiar with the way of killing on the battlefield. You come to ask me about everything. What do I want from you? Are you Zongze the commander or the commander?" Am I the coach?"
Astonished, then ashamed, Zongze finally understood why Jianchuan had always said that Zhao Xu was a sage monarch who was rare in the ages. In this case, he bowed his head and said: "I know that I am ashamed of myself, and I have lived up to your majesty's trust."
Zhao Xu then nodded and said: "In that case, retreat. You will be responsible for the military battle. I will be here in Wuzhou City, waiting for the good news from General Zong, and waiting for the good news from Uncle Wang. When the time comes,
You and I will return to the capital together, and we will grant amnesty to the whole world and celebrate together."
"promise."
…
In Bianjing City, Su Chaer and others had already returned. On the day when the emperor took charge, Qi Yinzhang took Lao Huang into Zhongshu Province, opened Cai Jing's check-in door, and introduced Lao Huang to Cai Jing: "Xiang Cai, have you ever heard of him?
A master of transformation?"
Cai Jing naturally knew Qi Yinzhang, but had never interacted with him. Therefore, although he knew how terrifying he was, he still didn't care much about it. After all, neither the emperor nor Jian Chuan were in Bianjing anymore. In terms of authority, he, Cai Jing, was at the top, so naturally he had some
Proud.
So, Cai Jing said coldly: "You are a woman, who let you enter Zhongshu Province? You dare to hold a sword, what do you want to do?"
Qi Yinzhang chuckled and didn't say much. He sat down to himself, then raised his hand to pull out the sword in his hand. With a flick of his hand, the sword flew away and was stuck directly on Cai Jing's case. He sneered and said: "This sword
, these are the 8-square swords given by the former Empress Dowager, can Prime Minister Cai recognize them?"
Cai Jing glared angrily and growled: "Be brave, let 4 go, come, let me catch you."
Immediately, an official rushed over, but he didn't come in. He only heard a slight noise at the door, but it passed quickly, and the smell of blood drifted into the house.
If so, Cai Jing was immediately stunned, but his tone softened: "You, you, what are you going to do? Do you dare to commit murder in Zhongshu Province?"
Qi Yinzhang chuckled and said: "Xiang Cai is so capable. He is the prime minister of the Song Dynasty and accepts the gifts from Xixia and Liao. Oh, it's okay. Just accept them. At the moment, what we in the Song Dynasty are most in need of is gold and silver.
Prime Minister Cai can definitely keep them, but I hope Prime Minister Cai can give those letters to me."
Hearing this, Cai Jing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was frightened but did not know the words. There was fear in his eyes. Then, he turned evil and said fiercely: "You dare to kill me?"
Qi Yinzhang was unmoved and just said: "His Majesty the Emperor told my husband that in Bianjing, no one can be killed except Prime Minister Cai. To tell the truth to Prime Minister Cai, I don't care much about His Majesty the Emperor's orders."
, but I don’t dare not listen to my husband’s words, so Mr. Cai doesn’t have to worry, I won’t take action against Mr. Cai.”
After a pause, when he saw Cai Jing's eyes looking thoughtful, he continued: "But, Prime Minister Cai's current attitude makes me very angry, so people are always going to die. Prime Minister Cai has eight sons, right?
What do you think, start with the oldest ones?"
"You dare?"
Qi Yinzhang stood up, made an invitation, and then walked out of the door. Cai Jing hesitated for a moment and followed him.
Then they saw a large pool of blood outside the door, but there was no body. In the yard in front of the door, there were hundreds of people with swords drawn from their sheaths, waiting in formation. In the middle of the yard, a large group of people were kneeling in a dense crowd, looking frightened.
They are all Cai Jing's family.
In this case, Cai Jing was completely frightened. When he went out in the morning, all his family members were fine. Only two hours later, all of his family members had been arrested, and not a single one of them had been arrested.
When he saw Qi Yinzhang strolling up to someone, he asked with a smile: "Master Cai, I want to lend you your head, I don't know if it is possible."
This stunning beauty in the courtyard is unparalleled in beauty, and because of her existence, this huge courtyard, with the bright sky and bright sun shining brightly, is as cold and biting as the hell on earth.

The knife was already placed on his neck, and the person with the knife placed on his neck was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Qi Yinzhang raised his hand, and Cai Jing finally rushed over, looked at Qi Yinzhang with a ferocious expression, and finally gave in: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Qi Yinzhang chuckled and said: "I just want a few letters. I have already said that before."
"I'll give it to you. Although both Xia and Liao countries contacted me, I ignored them. I have a clear conscience about this."
"It's best if Prime Minister Cai is willing to cooperate. Haha, I naturally believe in Prime Minister Cai." He paused and then said: "But I have anger in my body and mind, what should I do?"
"Qi Yinzhang, don't bully others too much. You should know that civil strife in our Song Dynasty must not occur at the moment."
"Oh, really. With Prime Minister Cai here, what kind of trouble can happen? So, I still have to be angry. Otherwise, I don't want Master Ling's head, and I can cut off my hair and take my place.
Prime Minister Cai, would you like to do it yourself?"
"You, you..."
"Xiang Cai, I still have a lot of important things to do, so I won't spend much time here."
