On the 23rd, Lanzhou.

Zhe Kecun, Hailasu and Roland led their troops to Lanzhou. At this point, the 100,000 troops participating in the Battle of Shuofang were assembled.

Li Hu was very happy and held a banquet at the General's Mansion to welcome Zhe Kecun and others. At this moment, Yao Pingzhong's battle report was delivered. Li Hu informed the Xihe army of the capture of Renduoquan City in front of the generals. The generals applauded and congratulated each other. After the banquet, Li Hu and Yang Keshi hurried to the meeting hall. Both of them looked very solemn, and Yang Keshi even had a hint of anger on their faces.

Li Hu may not understand Yao Pingzhong's character, but Yang Keshi knew that he had a premonition that Yao Pingzhong would lead his army to cross the snow-capped mountains and break into Liangzhou.

"The battlefields on the eastern front will not be launched until the tenth day of October. Before we cross the snow mountain and attack Liangzhou, our intention to attack will inevitably be exposed." Yang Keshi leaned over and looked at the map, shook his head repeatedly, "I immediately rushed to report to Yao Shuai and told him to strengthen Shou Renduoquan as planned, and not cross the snow mountain, nor attack Liangzhou."

Zhu Xia looked up at Li Hu, waiting for his final decision in order to write the order.

Li Hu stared at the snow-capped mountains on the map, concentrating and contemplating.

Yao Pingzhong just made a suggestion in the battle report, and did not give a reason to immediately cross the snow mountain to attack Liangzhou. However, this suggestion made Li Hu suddenly realize that the decision of the General's Mansion was negligent in some place. As for where there was negligence, he could not find it for the time being.

When Yang Keshi saw Li Hu silent, he was a little anxious, "Master, do you know Yao Pingzhong?"

Li Hu looked at him strangely and thought to himself, did Yao Ping Zhong have any secrets?

"I shouldn't have let Yao Pingzhong command the Xihe army to attack Renduoquan." Yang Keshi hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Based on his understanding of Yao Pingzhong, the Xihe army might be crossing the snow-capped mountains and there was no time to stop it. The next thing was how to save the situation, rather than considering whether to agree to Yao Pingzhong's suggestion. Yao Pingzhong entered Liangzhou, and the intention of the Song army to attack was exposed. Even if the attack was launched on the battlefields on the Eastern Front, it could not induce the Dangxiang people to put their main forces in Helan Mountain. In other words, Yao Pingzhong destroyed the entire decision. It is unpredictable how to fight this battle and whether it can continue.

Yang Keshi briefly explained Yao Pingzhong's character and his past merits and demerits. He summed up the last sentence: Although this person is brave and resourceful, he is too conceited, especially when he comes to the battlefield, he often does not obey orders and acts without authorization. "I know him. Since he has sent his suggestions, he has probably started to act. This kind of decisive action and then report is common to him and is not uncommon."

Li Hu's face became increasingly ugly.

If Yao Pingzhong acted without authorization and led his army to Liangzhou, the army's intention to attack would definitely be exposed. The idea of ​​the enemy's unexpected plan to capture Xiliang Prefecture would be failed, and the strategy of attacking Shuofang from north to south could not be carried out.

"Are you sure?" Li Hu asked suspiciously.

Yang Keshi looked depressed and nodded vigorously. He had to take responsibility for this matter, and the consequences were too serious. "Master, we must find a way to save the situation immediately, otherwise there will be no way to fight this battle."

Li Hu thought for a while, turned around and said to Zhu Xia, "Invite Yun Shuai, Gui Shuai, Zhe Shuai, Han Shuai, Wu Shuai and others,

Just talk about emergency military discussions.”

Zhu Xia also realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly ran out. Yang Keshi sighed to the sky, angrily attacking his heart, and almost cursed.

Li Hu walked into the yard and walked slowly along the gravel path. The late autumn wind blew, and the coldness grew. Xie Yidao walked to Li Hu with his cloak in his arms and said with concern: "Master, it's already cold, please add some clothes."

Li Hu waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Do you want to have a child?"

"Of course I thought about it." Xie Yidao smiled, "When I return to Chang'an, the little guy should be able to walk, so he can call him dad."

"When she was in Jingxiang, how did she treat you?" Li Hu patted Xie Yidao's back affectionately and walked side by side with him.

Xie Yidao knew that Li Hu was interested in asking about Li Shishi's situation, and immediately briefly explained what happened in Jingxiang.

"So, did you two wives marry you?"

Xie Yidao nodded, "We, the tiger guards who came to Jingxiang, have all brought their families back, and they have all set up houses in Chang'an."

"She is very rich and very generous." Li Hu smiled, "If Yan Qing marrys her, I will have a great master under my command."

Xie Yidao looked at Li Hu in surprise, "Master, do you want to be a matchmaker for Yan Qing?"

"What? You also like her?" Li Hu teased.

Xie Yidao shook his hand quickly, and after hesitating, he leaned into Li Hu's ear and whispered a few words. Li Hu frowned slightly, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and he looked surprised, "Are you serious about this?"

"Mr. Marshal, I also found out by chance, there will be no mistakes."

Li Hu nodded slightly, "Extraordinary people have extraordinary hearts, not that we can understand, and we cannot guess based on common sense." After pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Don't Yan Qing know, right?"

"I must know, buried in my heart

I just dare not say it, for fear of angering the commander.”

"I'm that scary?" Li Hu smiled faintly, "I will write a letter to Yan Qing immediately and ask him to arrange it personally. This matter is of great importance. If it is done, it will fulfill the wishes of others, reunite the couple, and help us pacify the southeast. Why not do it?"

Xie Yidao smiled and said, "I'm considered repaying my kindness."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"You are so busy that you don't even have time to sleep. How dare I disturb you with such a small thing."

"This is not a trivial matter." Li Hu smiled, "It's done, and the southeast is under my control."

Li Hu was in a good mood and immediately talked about the child with Xie Yidao. Just as he was happy, Hou Guai, Zhang Gao'er, Hailasu and Roland came together. Xie Yidao is now the deputy commander of the Tiger Guards. Several people greeted each other and walked into the house together.

"Master, are you going to cross the river north?" Hailasu asked anxiously.

.

"No, no hurry." Li Hu shook his hand, "The situation of the battle has changed, let's discuss it with you."

The Hu Lieutenant was not familiar with the battlefield in the northwest and did not express his opinions easily. Zhe Kecun, Han Shizhong, Wu? and others all grew up in the northwest. After listening to Yang Keshi's narration, they also agreed with Yang Keshi's views, but some people believed that Yao Pingzhong might not be as impulsive as in the past, while others believed that even if Yao Pingzhong crossed the snow-capped mountains, as long as he did not increase his troops and did not launch a large-scale attack in the direction of Karochuan, he could still achieve the goal of deceiving the Dangxiang people.

"Master, I think Yao Shuai's suggestion is very good. If we can cross the snow mountain first and capture Xiliang Prefecture first, we can also achieve the attack goal."

Roland suddenly spoke in shock, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Why do we have to compete with the Dangxiang people for control of Karochuan?" Roland looked at everyone and continued, "If you get control of Karochuan, you will seize Shuofang. If you get Shuofang, you can enter Hexi, and then you can form a alliance with Helan Mountain.

So we and the Dangxiang people were all focused on the Karo River. At this time, Yao Shuai took the lead in making a breakthrough from the snow-capped mountains and killed Xiliang Prefecture. This was equivalent to stabbing the Dangxiang people in the heart and hitting the key point."

Roland pressed his hand on the map, covering Karochuan and Shuofang. "Yao Shuai's knife has been inserted into the heart of the Dangxiang people. Do we still need to compete for Karochuan?"

Everyone's eyes lit up suddenly. Indeed, if Yao Pingzhong captured Xiliang Prefecture, would the army still need to attack Karochuan? If the Tiger Lie Army seized Xiliang Prefecture, the Dangxiang people could not actually defend Shuofang, and Helan Mountain was surrounded.

Li Hu suddenly thought about it, and suddenly thought of the negligence in the entire attack strategy, that is, although the attacks on various battlefields on the eastern route restrained the troops of Helan Mountain, the number of Helan Mountain defenders was huge. When will the Huli Lie Army fight? More than 200,000 troops surrounded Helan Mountain. If they fight for a year or two, the Huli Lie Army will be dragged down alive.

It was precisely because I couldn't eat Dangxiang people in one bite that I thought of a plan to surround the people around me, trying to trap Dangxiang people in Helan Mountain. But if Dangxiang people took the initiative, stockpiled a large number of food and grass weapons in Helan Mountain, assembled a large number of troops, and defended the city, then

The Tiger Lie Army was in a difficult situation. Although the Tiger Lie Army finally got Shuofang, it was unable to take Helan Mountain in the end and still failed.

What would you think of to take down Helan Mountain? Karochuan, and use Karochuan as bait to attract the main force of Helan Mountain little by little, and eliminate the enemy in Karochuan. When the Dangxiang people suffered heavy casualties and suddenly found that they did not have enough troops to deal with the two battlefields of Helan Mountain and Karochuan at the same time, the Dangxiang people were finished.

The last blow was to encircle Helan Mountain from all sides, but before the conditions were ripe, they could not encircle them, otherwise they would fall into the trap of the Dangxiang people. Once they fell into this trap, the Tiger and Lie Army would be in a dilemma.

Li Hu finally figured out the key, and he secretly thanked that this time, thanks to Hou Ge's persuasion, he took the lead, and Yao Pingzhong was unwilling to miss the time to capture Xiliang Prefecture, crossed the snow-capped mountains in advance, and finally allowed the Tiger Lie Army to win the lead.

"We have always had a negligence, that is, to attack Karochuan for the purpose of siege, but once Karochuan is taken and Shuofang grabs it, it is equivalent to forcing all the Dangxiang people to Helan Mountain. How long will it take for us to conquer Helan Mountain?" Li Hu said in detail his thoughts.

Then, pointing to his head and saying, "This spring victory has blown my mind and made your mind less clear. Ask yourself, do we really have the strength to defeat the Dangxiang people and destroy Xixia? Can we really create a miracle like Wanyan Aguda?"

Yang Keshi wiped his cold sweat. Luckily, Li Hu adjusted his strategy in time. Yao Pingzhong has made a contribution now and has saved his future.

Hou Gai, Zhang Gaoer and others gradually calmed down. Indeed, the result of blind arrogance was definitely a failure. Fortunately, Li Hu woke up in time from his impulse.

"Immediately, I will ask Yao Shuai to quickly cross the snow mountain, seize Yingya Fort at all costs, and first gain a foothold in Hexi." Li Hu ordered decisively, "I will personally go to the battlefield in Hexi. Yun Shuai and Gui Shuai immediately gathered their troops and followed me to Hexi. Zhe Shuai and Han Shuai followed and stood by in Huangzhou."

On the 23rd, under the leadership of Yao Pingzhong, Xihe Army overcame many difficulties and crossed the snow-capped mountains within two days and two nights.

On the night of the 23rd, Qu Jin and eight hundred soldiers successfully attacked Yingya Fort at the northern end of the Snow Mountain regardless of their fatigue. Liu Zhengyan led 2,000 people and then rushed in, beheaded 1,200 levels, and conquered Yingya Fort. At this point, the passage from Renduoquan City to Xiliang Prefecture was opened by the Song army.
