In late August, the Song army on both sides of the Yellow River began to attack the Xia army.

Mao's army commanded the Huli Army and Liangshan Army to cross the river first from the direction of Hebin City, and its vanguard directly killed the Jin Su army. (The Jin Su army is located fifty miles north of Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia.)

At the same time, Wang Yao and Geng Shouzhong led the Jinglei Army and the Yisheng Army to cross the river from Yulin. The Xixia defenders in Yulin City retreated without fighting. The Jinglei Army and the Yisheng Army then rushed south along the west bank of the Yellow River and met the Huli Army.

Zhe Keqiu had already led his army to the Zhengchuan River in Fengzhou, which bordered the Song, Liao and Xia Kingdoms. After receiving a letter from Zhang Guanyu, he immediately commanded the army to cross the Zhengchuan River and quickly marched towards the southeast of the Jin Su army. The Xixia army stationed on the bank of the Yellow River learned that the Song army was coming and retreated quickly. Zhang Guanyu and Ying Qin, under the cover of Zhe Keqiu, commanded the Wu Yong Army and Yunshuo Army to cross the Yellow River in two days.\

On August 25th, Mao’s army and Zhe can be requested and Zhe can be saved. Zhang Guanyu and Ying Qin met in Jinsu’s army.

The 120,000 troops formed a formation on the grassland, and were as powerful as a rainbow. The Western Xia army set up their formations based on the city and hills twenty miles away, and prepared for the battle. On the field, Dong Xiaochou was the commander of the northwest battlefield, and unified the commander of the northwest war; on the southeast battlefield, Tieying was the commander of the Youyan war. The Mao army's Tiger Army and Song Jiang's Liangshan Army had to go one after another, so the Mao army was not only the deputy commander of the northwest battlefield, but also the deputy commander of the Youyan battlefield.

On the northwest battlefield, there are two other regimes, one is Gao Baolong. He is responsible for the Yunnei war and the other is Zhang Guanyu, who is responsible for the town of Shuozhou.\

Now Dong Xiaochou is stranded in Yunnei, and he temporarily handed over the command of the battlefield in Dongshengzhou to Mao's army, Zhang Guanyu's deputy. The commander of the Hedong army, Zhe Kecun, and the governor of the prefecture and military commander, Zhe Keqiu, is not controlled by the Hulie Mansion. The 50,000 Song troops belong to the Hedong Commander and were controlled by Zhang Xiaochun. Zhang Xiaochun is in Taiyuan, and now the commander of the front line is Zhe Kecun.

Mao Jun sat around in the tent and looked around and knew that the battle could not be fought for the time being. He could not command it. The sword coach Zhang Guanyu was a person of the same level as Dong Zhongsun and Hou Gui. During the war in Xijing, Dong Xiaohou gave him an order, and he wrote letters in person, usually in a negotiation tone, and did not dare to offend him. As for Zhe, please ask for peace and save. Not to mention, except for Li Hu, the brothers of Hulie Mansion, probably won't give face to each other.

Sure enough, Sima Wangping, the marching of the Tiger Lie Army, had just briefly talked about the attack deployment, but Zhe Keqiu couldn't help it. He immediately stood up and said, "Sir Mao, please allow me to explain the terrain here carefully to you first. How about it?" The implication is that your attack deployment is nonsense. You can't even understand the terrain. What kind of battle is it to fight?

Mao Jun was extremely eager for it. He didn't know the northwest terrain and he didn't dare to fight the Dangxiang people rashly.

Zhe Keqiu walked to the front of the map. He pointed to the Yellow River on the map and said loudly: "The Yellow River first follows Helan Mountain to the north. Due to the blockage of Yin Mountain, it folds to the east. Then it goes south along Luliang Mountain to form a few-character shape, so it is called Hetao. This part of Helan Mountain is commonly called Xitao; our current location is generally called Dongtao.\" Zhe Keqiu's Yunneizhou in the southern part of Yin Mountain on the map, "This is Chilechuan, we call it the fronttao."

"As the saying goes: The Yellow River has many harms, only one is rich. The Yellow River in the world is rich in Hetao, and the front is rich in the back is rich. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, passed through Yinshan, and incorporated the Hetao into the territory of the Qin Dynasty. From then until the Han and Tang Dynasties, Hetao was the richest place in Daibei."

Zhe Keqiu faced the commanders in the account and waved his arms vigorously, "If the Xixia people lost Hetao, it would be like losing half of the Xixia Kingdom, and it would be over. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to fight against Cha Ge. The Xixia people will defend Hetao at all costs."

"Please look..." Zhe Keqiu pointed to Yunneizhou and Tiandejun on the map, "The south of the Yellow River in the front is a desert, we call it the bowstring desert." His finger then stroked down, and there was a desert between the Western Tak and the East Tak, "We call this desert a bad water desert."

"From the Jin Su army, we went west to the Heqing army, to the Wushui desert, the terrain was getting higher and higher, with mountains, undulating rivers, valleys and ravines, and the terrain was very complex." Zhe Keqiu turned around and said seriously, "between the east and west, the north and south are deserts and the middle is plateau. If we want to fight to Helan Mountain from here, it is impossible."

"The border between Liao and Xia countries is divided into this because of the relationship between this terrain." Zhe Keqiu continued, "If you want to attack Helan Mountain, there are only two ways. One is to attack from the front, that is, from Yunnei and Tiande Army to attack westward, and then follow the Yellow River to Helan Mountain. The other road is to attack north from Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain in Shaanxi.\"

"In the past, the Song Dynasty had only one way to attack Xixia, and attacked from south to north. This time, the emperor recovered the mountain. If he could replace the north, he could firmly occupy Yunnei and Tiande troops, and then attacked from the front and attacked from both sides, Xixia would be attacked from both sides and would be defeated, and would be defeated."

Mao Jun suddenly realized that Dong Xiaochou and Ji were both wrong in this battle. The main battlefield of the Battle of Daibei was not in the East, but in the front, in Yunneizhou and Tiande Army.

"Where did Chage's army come from?" Zhe Keqiu patted Chilechuan hard, "Chage's army came from the Tiande Army, and his target was Shuozhou and Datong. Now we are swarming, and Chage has lost the opportunity to continue attacking. The only way is to withdraw the Tiande Army and compete with us for the front trap.\As long as he can occupy the front trap, he can support each other with the Khitans in the north, and he can form an alliance with the Jurchens in the east. Once the Liao, Xia and Jin team up, it poses a serious threat, and we will lose the opportunity to replace the north."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhang Guanyu also realized that the situation was wrong. He immediately asked, "Did you tell the general manager about this when you were in Datong?"

Zhe Keqiu shook his head, "The target of the prime minister is Youyan. We just need to force Cha Ge back to Xixia in the east. The prime minister did not say that he would fight Cha Ge in the Jinsu and Heqing areas."

"Do you think we have no chance of winning?" Wu Xiong was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Joe Keqiu, and couldn't help asking, "We have an army of 120,000, and Dong Shuai will come soon. We can gather at least 160,000 troops to attack the Xia army. In this case, we have no chance of winning yet?"

"Definitely not." Zhe Keqiu said without hesitation, "In the past twenty or thirty years, the Xixia people have fought fiercely with us, and the losses have been severe. Now it has lost the powerful backer of the Khitans. Do you think it will fight us in a decisive battle? The main troops of the Xixia people are all deployed in Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain. It has limited troops on the eastern front and was eaten by the Jin army last month. Will it still dare to fight to the decisive battle? If it loses, what will the Xixia people use to defend the eastern border?

"If I were Brother Cha, I would take this opportunity to drag you into Henan, use the desert, forest and valley to eat you bite by bit. At the same time, I would mobilize troops from Helan Mountain, gather a large army to seize Yunnei, and kill Datong directly.\" (Xia State is in the administrative area between the east and west sets.)

Zhe Ke asked the generals in the tent to ask, and some of them were fighting Youyan here. Datong was empty. If we were entangled by Brother Cha at this moment, Datong would be in danger."

After saying this, there was a silence in the tent and everyone looked solemn.

"What are the suggestions of Zhe Prefect?" Mao Jun asked on his own initiative.

"I had a consensus with the Prime Minister, and my current goal is Youyan, not Xixia." Zhe Keqiu said, "So we should not fight with the people of Xixia as much as possible. As long as we maintain a threat to Xixia. If we don't fight in the east, Cha Ge will have no choice; if we attack the Tiande army in the front, Cha Ge will withdraw his troops.\For him, we must ensure the safety of the defense line in the front, otherwise Helan Mountain will be in danger. In this way, the situation of the northern war can be determined."

Zhe Keqiu's purpose is clearly visible at this point. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to fight, just to let the Tiger Lieutenant Army rush to Youyan battlefield and take Youyan down, so as to ensure the position of the prince, ensure that the dispute over the imperial rule in Bianjing will not change suddenly, and ensure that the Zhe family will not be defeated suddenly.

Mao Jun sneered secretly. Although he was not a central member of the Hulie Mansion, he was one of the commanders in the army. The key decisions of the Hulie Mansion must be told to them in order to form a unified idea to prevent major mistakes in the implementation of the decision. Therefore, Mao Jun knew that the Hulie Mansion had fallen into the battle for the imperial throne in Bian Jing, and the initiator was the Zhe family, which was the Zhe Keqiu. Zhe Keqiu circled the boss and finally exposed his original intention. He strongly opposed the fact that with the current strength of the Hulie Mansion, it was impossible to fight on both sides, but Dong Xiaochou and Mao Jun wanted to fight, so Zhe Keqiu had to stop it.

Mao Jun's eyes swept across the faces of the men in the tent, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhe Keqiu is so powerful. His words have lost everyone's morale and there is no way to fight this battle. In fact, even if everyone still wants to fight, the Song army, one of the main forces, has no intention of fighting this battle, and it still cannot fight this battle.

"Shishou Mao, Shuai Dao, what do you mean?" Zhe Ke asked.

"You Zhe family is familiar with the terrain here, and have fought with the people of Xixia for decades. We know ourselves and our enemies, so of course we will listen to you." Zhang Guanyu immediately spoke, and he dared not fight.

Mao Jun smiled, "The peace talksman has not come back yet. When he comes back, let's hear what Brother Cha said first."

The peace talks have caused Ma Liang to have three trips between Jin Sujun and Datong.
