Hu thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Send Abaddon to temporarily postpone the crossing of the river.

Chai Yun immediately drafted the order. After finishing writing, he handed it to Li Hu and asked, "General General, when will we fight the Xia army in a decisive battle?"

"If Dangxiang people want to fight, they can fight to the decisive battle?" Li Hu smiled, "I am free to advance and retreat now. Whenever I want to fight, I will fight to the decisive battle. What can Dangxiang people do to me?"

"The Dangxiang people hope to fight quickly and achieve their achievements in one battle." Dong Xiaochou interrupted, "But this is impossible. We have no advantage in military strength and are not familiar with the terrain. If we want to defeat our opponents, we must take the initiative in the battlefield and lead the Dangxiang people's nose, so that the Dangxiang people's advantage will be killed and injured, and then we can fight to the decisive battle."

"Then how do we control the initiative on the battlefield?" Fan Zhichang, who was reading the document, heard this and asked hurriedly, "We can delay the decisive battle, but the Dangxiang people cannot do it. They must fight quickly. Once the Northwest Army launches an attack from Hengshan, the Dangxiang people will fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, and the decisive battle will be lost. Therefore, the Dangxiang people are determined to go out in full swing. If we avoid fighting at this moment, they will definitely advance step by step."

"Are you sure they will come out in full?" Dong Xiaohou asked.

Fan Zhichang hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I can't be sure. Now Xue Yuanli is gone, and the central minister has also changed a group of people. I don't know who Li Qianshun listens to. However, considering the safety of the country, Li Qian would have to rely on the situation to protect the Party and General Xiang of the Party. Brother Richard is very strong and always insists on the strategy of proactive defense. He will not defend Xingqing Mansion to the death. He will definitely gather all the troops to fight us. If he is the commander of the Xia army, then the Xia army will soon fight and force us to fight."

Dong Xiaochou turned his eyes to Li Hu, wanting to hear his countermeasures.

"In the short term, we will not be able to fight the Dangxiang people." Li Hu walked to the map and pointed to the Camel River on the map. "This river is connected to the Yellow River. The two rivers meet. The north is Shengwei City, and the south is the Hong Cliff where we are now. We gathered our troops on both sides of the Luo River to form a confrontation with the Xia army and delayed the decisive battle."

Fan Zhichang hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help asking: "When will the General Manager wait for the final battle?"

Li Hu smiled. "I'm waiting for news from Datong." He didn't say he would wait for any news. But the mainland knew that except for the news of whether the Jin army attacked Datong, there was news from Taiyuan. If the northwest strategy of Taiyuan was recognized by Bianjing, then the Song army would launch an attack from the front line of Shaanxi. In this way, the entire battle situation would be very beneficial to the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.

At the Crescent Lake in August.

The Xia army was fully prepared for the war, but the news from the direction of the Keyimen and the Camel River made Li Renzhong anxious.

Li Anhui from the Keyimen area reported that the main force of the Tiger Lie Army rushed to Honglin Ferry one after another. The eastern bank of the Yellow River was more than ten miles long. The flags were everywhere. The sea of ​​people was like a tide. However, the Tiger Lie Army showed no signs of going south to attack Xingqing Prefecture. On the contrary, they rushed to the west bank by boat and set up a large camp outside the Keyimen Pass. They rushed to the siege tools day and night. It was obvious that the Tiger Lie Army planned to attack the Keyimen with all their strength. There were only more than two hundred miles from the Keyimen to Xingqing Prefecture. If the Tiger Lie Army conquered the pass, they could reach Kyoto within two days.

The Xia army scouts discovered the main force of the Tiger Lie Army on both sides of the Tuo River. After many days of investigation, they must have had tens of thousands of troops. However, these troops built defensive facilities day and night. They did not seem to be in the decisive battle south.

Based on these two news, the Hu Lie Army did not want to fight the Xia army in the decisive battle at the Crescent Lake, but wanted to conquer the Keyi Sect. This was obviously a problem, and Li Hu must have implemented some strategy.

What exactly does Li Hu want to do?

"Li Hu avoids fighting, we will enter the Camel River and force Li Hu to fight us." Renduo Baoguo frowned deeply and looked puzzled, "If Li Hu defended the Camel River with some of his troops and attacked the Keyimen with his main force, how confident is he to take the Keyimen before we break through the Camel River?"

"If Li Hu takes the Keyi Gate, he can reach Kyoto within two days, and we have to withdraw his troops, but it takes time to cross the river, and we cannot reach Kyoto within two days." Li Renzhong sneered, "The problem is, even if we can't reach Kyoto within two days, can Li Hu conquer Kyoto within one day? It is impossible. If he can't take the Kyoto, he will fall into our siege, so he can't attack the Keyi Gate at all. From this, it can be speculated that his attack on the Keyi Gate is fake, and delaying the final battle is true."

Ren Duobaoguo pondered and said nothing.

"Li Hu is coming in a fierce manner, but he avoids fighting when he is at the decisive battle. Why?" Li Renzhong stared at Renduo and said coldly, "It is obvious that he wants to drag us to the Camel River to help the Northwest Army break through Ling and Xia's front line. King Jin's judgment was wrong.

”

Renduobaoguo also disagreed with Richard's judgment. After the Song Dynasty recovered Yanyun, it was natural to attack the Western Xia. The biggest dream of the Song Dynasty was to rebuild the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties and achieve unification between China and foreign countries. From the current situation, the primary condition for the Song Dynasty to achieve this goal was to capture the western frontier, so this must be another Western expedition launched by the Song Dynasty.

As for Brother Richard's inference that the Jin people were going south, he even thought it was nothing.

.The Song Dynasty was too strong and too strong. The Khitans had not yet reached the heyday? He, let alone the Jurchens just rose. Even if the Jurchens went south, they would just plunder Hebei. The Song Dynasty had enough troops, which were useful for the land, money, food and weapons, and supported by a huge population. The Jurchens were no opponents at all. Going south would only anger the Song Dynasty and would not be any good for the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, this would lead to the Song Dynasty's determination to defeat the Western Xia to avoid repeating the mistakes of fighting on both sides.

"The King of Jin is right, that is, he must fight to the decisive battle and make a quick decision, so as to gain the initiative in the entire battle situation." Rendo Baoguo said, "We will advance to the Camel River immediately and launch a rapid attack."

Li Renzhong agreed and immediately reported to Xingqing Mansion urgently.

Xingqingfu’s judgment on the battle situation is exactly the same as the front line, but the decisions are different.

The trends of the Huli Army have proved the prediction of Xingqing Prefecture. The Song army may attack at any time, allowing the main force of the Xia army to continue to advance and force Li Hu to fight to the decisive battle may lead to the Xia Xia in a desperate land. How many troops did Li Hu bring? Did he dig a trap in the Camel River? If he dragged the main force of the Xia army firmly and consumed a lot, when the Song army launched an attack and carried out two-way confrontation, he would launch a force to counterattack and give the main force of the Xia army a fatal blow. The Xia army was defeated, then what would Xingqing Prefecture use to guard Kyoto?

Liang Qishen therefore advised the emperor to give up the decisive battle, withdraw the main force, defend the capital, and respond to all changes with the same change. He kept the green mountains there, and was not afraid of no firewood. As long as the army was there, even if he abandoned the capital, he could still make a comeback. On the contrary, if the army was finished, he would be completely finished.

This is a big truth, especially for the Xia Kingdom, preserving force is the foundation of survival. The main source of population and financial resources in Xia Kingdom is Helan Mountain and Ling. The Xia area is not large, and the population and financial resources are limited. After consumption, it will disappear. This is also the fundamental reason why Xixia finally reached the brink of collapse today.

Li Ganshun was shaken. He was the emperor. The emperor's primary task was to guard the country's destiny. It required an army to guard the country. Without an army, there would be no way to guard the country's destiny.

The Khitans had just been defeated, Yelu Yanxi had just died, and the Daliao in two hundred years was instantly destroyed. This lesson was so terrible. The bloody lesson was enough to make people feel shattered.

Li Ganshun adopted Liang Qishen's opinion and ordered Li Renzhong to stand by on the spot, not allow him to launch an attack, and urgently sued Brother Li Cha, asking him to be prepared for all his strength.

Liang Qishen began to prepare a retreat plan. If the capital was in crisis, the emperor and the court had to be withdrawn to Hexi to ensure the country's prosperity.

The Xia army stagnated in Crescent Lake, which surprised the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.

At this moment, food, supplies and supplies were continuously transported from the previous confinement. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army had already met the conditions for a decisive battle. The commanders of each army kept asking questions, and the answers they received were all in one sentence, but the time was not yet up.

In mid-August, Datong wrote a letter, and various signs indicate that the Jin army was going to attack Yanyun. Guo Yaoshi wrote letters over and over again, informing the Jin army in detail about the movements and reminding Huliu Mansion to be careful. Luo Qinghan adjusted his troops to this end, strengthened the defensive force in the direction of Fengshengzhou, and at the same time supervised the Hedong Army to go north as soon as possible. Luo Qinghan intends to ask the Zhe family army to go north to Yunnei to ensure the safety of the food route between Datong and Yunnei. Zhe Keqiu has agreed to Huliu Mansion, and just waited for the army to go north and then rushed to Yunnei.

The active cooperation of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army gave Taiyuan a lot of room for maneuver. Wang and Tong Guan's request was finally responded. The emperor clearly agreed in his edict to the king, but considering the resistance of Bianjing, it took some time.

The letter from Datong gave Li Hu hope. He told the military commanders of each army to step up preparations for war, and the time for a decisive battle was getting closer.

In mid-August, Li Renli, King Shu of Western Xia, rushed to Luotuo River to visit Li Hu.

"The Tiger King betrayed his faith and tore up the covenant..." Li Renli was not afraid when he saw Li Hu, and he opened his mouth and scolded him.

Li Hu waited for him to be tired of scolding, and then he said slowly: "I thought Li Ganshun was a benevolent and righteous king, so he formed an alliance as a brother. However, he betrayed and betrayed Yelu Yanxi in order to join forces with the Jin people to kill me. I will not form an alliance with such shameless people, nor will I let such shameless people live in the world."

The betrayal of Yelu Yanxi was indeed a mistake from Dangxiang people. Li Renli was hit by Li Hu and his arrogance suddenly became three points weaker, "Do you think you can defeat us with your strength?"

"My strength is indeed not enough, but I am just restraining the attack. The main attack was launched by the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty from the Hengshan line." Li Hu smiled, "In my opinion, Bian Jing is very determined and will definitely win. You may be in danger."

Li Renli was secretly shocked and immediately asked, "What can the Tiger King get in this battle? Don't you know that the Song people are going to kill you?"

Li Hu laughed, "If Li Ganshun promised me a condition, I won't fight."

“What conditions?”
