In the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, Li Dingchuan and Bailuoquan led their troops to withdraw to Tong'an City. They received news from Helan Mountain. Brother Richard and Renduobao were dismissed. Emperor Li Ganshun decided to retreat to Hexi. Li Renzhong led his army to the Hexi battlefield, while Li Anhui led his 30,000 troops to Karochuan for support.
After reading this letter, Li Dingchuan's expression changed immediately.
From Helan Mountain to Shatuohou Avenue, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the important city of Shatuo. Li Anhui and Mo Ning Pingyan must have gone south from Shatuo, but Gaizhu City has fallen at this moment, and once this reinforcement army is discovered by the Tiger and Lie Army, they will definitely be ambushed.
"Quick, send someone to intercept Li's envoy immediately." Li Dingchuan walked to the map in three or two steps and pointed to the Dundun Mountain on the map. "Li's envoy set out on the fourth day of the first lunar month. It has only been four days since he has not arrived in Shatuo. Shatuo has arrived in Dundun Mountain for about 300 miles. We will send people to meet him day and night, and it must be too late."
Bailuoquan leaned over and looked at the map, with thick eyebrows and deep frowns, and his expression was extremely solemn. The reinforcements were late. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Anhui would arrive at Gaizhu City around the 14th, but Li Hu's master was in the direction of Gaizhu City.
With a strong army, 30,000 troops were just to die.
"Do you ask them to withdraw from Shatuo, or to garrison troops in the Dundun Mountain area?" Bailuoquan asked.
"Of course I hope they will go to Dundun Mountain and threaten the troops on the front line of Qin Mountain to attack Kui Zhucheng in order to restrain some of the Tiger Lie Army and alleviate the heavy pressure of our frontal defense." Li Dingchuan paused for a moment, shook his head helplessly, "Now the emperor decided to retreat to Hexi. To put it bluntly, he was to give up Helan Mountain. But I wonder if the emperor and the court had thought that once Helan Mountain was lost, Shuofang's rear wings were completely exposed, Shuofang could still defend it? Can Karochuan still get control? Shuofang was lost, there was a Tiger Lie Army in front of Hexi, and Caotou Tatar and Huangtou Huihe behind him. They were attacked from both sides and heads and tails, so it was difficult to take care of both ends. How long can it last?"
"Why did Brother Cha give up his military power?" Bai Luoquan became more and more angry as he thought about it. He punched the map. "Don't he know that this battle is related to the life and death of my Daxia? Why did he let Liang Qishen and Xue Yuanli's treacherous gangsters harm the country?"
Li Dingchuan closed his eyes and suppressed his anger. Li Cha Ge was driven out of the court, and his previous defense strategy was completely abandoned, so the country's destiny was in danger. According to Ri Cha Ge's idea, as long as the Xia army was firm
Control Karochuan, then drag the main force of the Huli Army to Helan Mountain, and drag the battle situation indefinitely, then Li Hu and Huli Army will eventually retreat. Li Hu's current situation is actually very difficult. The reason why he fought Xixia was a helpless move. With his current strength, he couldn't hold on for long. Do the emperor and the ministers in the court understand such a simple truth? They were so afraid of Li Hu and wanted to abandon Kyoto and flee? This is ridiculous.
"What should I do now?" Bai Luoquan asked, "Li Anhui and Mo Ning Pingyan were both defeated by Li Hu in Helan Mountain. How brave are these two? I believe you know. If you tell them that Gai Zhucheng was lost, Li Hu was attacking Tong'an City with more than 100,000 troops. Do you think they will force Gai Zhu to help us restrain Li Hu?"
Li Dingchuan gritted his teeth, his face a bit ferocious. He was indeed unsure. Especially now that the emperor is determined to retreat to Hexi, it is the most important thing to preserve his strength at the moment. Li Anhui supports Karochuan and faces more than 100,000 enemies. Do he dare to fight? Carefully measure the gains and losses, even if it were Li Dingchuan himself, he would probably not approach Gai Zhucheng rashly. Under normal circumstances, Li Anhui would let the army stop and avoid the Tiger Lie Army, and at the same time ask the emperor for instructions. The emperor is retreating to Hexi and urgently needs the army. He naturally ordered him to withdraw and rush to Hexi for battle.
"I think the letter can be sent, so I remind Li Anhui to be careful, but I can't tell him that he was lost by Zhu Cheng, otherwise he would definitely retreat." Bai Luoquan suggested that he saw Li Dingchuan not speaking.
Li Dingchuan decisively vetoed. This matter cannot be done. Once Li Anhui accidentally fell into the ambush of the Tiger Lie Army, the 30,000 army will be wiped out. At this moment, the 30,000 army is extremely precious to Xixia, and there must be no accidents. "We would rather throw Karochuan away than lose these 30,000 army."
"Give up Karochuan?" Bailuoquan was shocked.
"The emperor's decision was to retreat to Hexi, but now Hexi is in chaos. Renduo Baoguo is indifferent to the other side, let alone Ulan Xinlong, who replaced him. Ulan Xinlong is more brave and lacks strategy. If he asked him to preside over the Hexi military, the situation in Hexi would become worse. So I can conclude that after the emperor arrived in Hexi, he would try every means to draw troops from all over the place to assist Hexi. The result is conceivable." The more Li Dingchuan thought about it, the more angry he became, but he had no choice.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhe Ke asked to command the army to attack Tong'an City.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Li Hu arrived at the city of Tong'an and supervised the battle himself.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Li Anhui and Mo Ning Pingyan received the emperor's imperial edict. The content of this imperial edict made the two commanders realize that something was wrong in Kyoto.
The emperor changed his decision again and asked Brother Richard to take charge of the military. At the same time, he killed Liang Qishen, Xue Yuanli and other ministers on the charge of usurpation. He could just think about this matter with his mind and knew that Brother Richard must have launched a mutiny, otherwise the emperor would never change his decision, nor would he kill his confidant ministers. Moreover, he would have killed more than a dozen of them. This was too bloody.
Richard launched a mutiny, with the reason to clear the monarch and defend the country's destiny. However, once this battle is won, Richard will be invincible when he is in power in the court and the opposition. Richard cannot give up his military power, otherwise the emperor will be the first to kill him. Since the emperor and Richard become enemies, Richard will certainly not be able to let the emperor take power again. What will happen in Kyoto in the future is clear at a glance.
Lee Anhui, Ming Ning Pingyan is loyal to his son today, but is very cautious about Richard Brother. Now Kyoto is suddenly changing, the emperor
The emperor's safety was threatened, and the first idea of these two ministers was to withdraw their troops and return to Beijing to protect the king. However, Brother Richard had the emperor in his hand, and the orders were issued in the name of the emperor. The two had to ignore them. If they didn't listen, they would rebel.
The two discussed for a long time and decided to find an excuse to stop. Then, while sending scouts to Gaizhucheng to contact Xiao Heda, they sent people back to Beijing to find out the news. At this time, the changes in the political situation in Kyoto were far more important than the rescue of Karochuan. Karochuan could be regained if it was lost, and if it could not be regained, they could still defend Hexi. However, once the emperor had an accident, the powerful ministers usurped the country and the country was defeated, the Great Xia would be completely over.
Brother Richard seemed to know that these two people must have bad intentions. After only six hours, he sent another imperial edict, ordering the two of them to reach where they must reach, otherwise the Israeli army would be punished.
Li Anhui was very angry at Ming Ning Pingyan, but Brother Richard took the emperor hostage, and the two of them had no choice. At this time, we could not raise troops to rebel, right?

On the 11th, Renduobaoguo received an imperial edict, reinstated his post, and received a secret letter from Richard.
On the same day, Li Renzhong and Gao Shouzhong arrived in Xiliang Prefecture.
Brother Richard ordered the two to change directions and go south to support Karochuan, but like Li Anhui, they suspected that something happened in Kyoto, and did not obey the order, but rushed directly to Xiliang Prefecture. The two knew that the emperor hated Renduo's country very much and would never let him reinstate him. If Renduo's country was restored, it means that Brother Richard might have launched a mutiny and held the emperor hostage.
Li Renzhong and Gao Shouzhong discussed it and then made preparations. If Renduo defended the country and resumed his post, he would be killed, seized his military power, and controlled the Hexi army, so as to threaten Brother Richard and force Brother Richard to send the emperor to Hexi.
The person who went out of the city to welcome the two was Ulan Sinlong. Ulan Sinlong said that he received the emperor's imperial edict, "You should go south quickly to support Karochuan, why did you arrive at Xiliang Prefecture?"
Li Renzhong and Gao Shouzhong did not see Renduo's country protection. When they saw that Ulan Xinlong was still in charge of the Hexi military, they were very confused and their vigilance was reduced immediately. Ulan Xinlong welcomed the two of them enthusiastically into the government office. In the lobby, Renduo's country protection was suddenly sitting. The two were shocked and turned around and were about to leave. At the order of Renduo's country protection, the entourages from both sides came out and killed the two in the hall.
Renduobaoguo ordered Ulan Sinlong to take the 10,000 horse troops outside the city to quickly rush to Karochuan.

On the 11th, Li Anhui and Mouning Pingyan arrived in Dundun Mountain.
The two received a letter from Li Dingchuan and learned that Gai Zhucheng had fallen, they immediately set up a camp and refused to leave. But that night, Liang Yifeng and his entourage rushed over.
He escaped. Brother Richard made up his mind this time and wanted to completely eradicate the Liang family, so the whole family was executed, leaving no one left behind. Liang Yifeng happened to be on the front line of the Yellow River and ran away overnight after receiving the call. Liang Yifeng's wife is Li Anhui's daughter, and Mou Ning Pingyan and the Liang family are also in-law relationships for generations. Liang Yifeng had nowhere to escape, so he had to join Li Anhui and Mou Ning Pingyan.
The three of them discussed it all night, but did not discuss a good solution, but Richard did not give them time. On the morning of the 12th, Renduo went east to Dundun Mountain with five hundred elite cavalry, nominally urging Li Anhui to quickly support Karochuan, but in fact he came to kill people. Li Anhui and Mu Ning Pingyan did not expect Richard to be so vicious, caught off guard, and fell to the ground and tied up.
, pushed to the gate and beheaded.
Liang Yifeng and his entourage suddenly came out and saved the two. Renduo was furious and led his army to chase and kill.
At this time, several of Li Anhui's confidants could no longer bear it and resolutely raised their troops to attack Renduo's eastward advance. Renduo's eastward advance was defeated and fled.
Li Anhui, plotted Ning Pingyan, and Liang Yifeng was desperate. In the end, they made a painful choice and surrendered to Li Hu.
On the 12th, Liang Yifeng, as a special envoy, rushed to Gai Zhucheng to see Li Hu. On the same day, Li Anhui and Mu Ning Pingyan rushed to Shuibocheng with their army. They believed that Li Hu would definitely accept their surrender.
On the 13th, Li Hu received this news under Tong'an City and found it incredible. He immediately ordered to stop the attack and dispatch 50,000 main forces to return to Gaizhu City and the front line of Park Long City just in case. That night, after Li Hu met Liang Yifeng, he realized what happened in Xingqing Prefecture.
