The movement near Yanzhou finally alarmed the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty and Xixia have been hostile for so many years. Although there has not been much active infiltration, it is not entirely deaf and blind.

In late spring, Bianjing City has already had a large area of ​​green. While green brings people vitality, it also makes people forget unhappy things.

For example, soldiers who died in the summer land, such as those who died in the winter, who were once the most proud young people in the Song Dynasty.

A spring rain came, bringing abundant rain to Bianjing City, but also a little cold, making Bianjing City shrouded in fog.

A knight rushed into the imperial city of Bianjing City in this weather, and the people in the imperial city identified the identity. After confirming, the news carried by the emperor asked the emperor to deliver the last journey.

He rushed to the Privy Council and soon after, several ministers of the Privy Council rushed to the palace together.

Because of the sudden cold, the stove was raised in Chongzheng Hall again. The silver charcoal occasionally crackled and burst out a little spark. Zhao Xu stretched out his hands and roasted the fire on the stove.

"...At the end of February, the Western Army allowed an unknown army to drive out of Xia territory. Only then did the Western Army find out which army was not any of the 12th Army of the Western Xia Army. As for what army it was, it is unknown.

Someone sent a message from Xia Realm that some people in Xia Realm called them Hengshan Thieves. This name is probably because they occupy Hengshan now.

Their official name should be Black Harrier. Some people guess what it seems to have to do with Iron Harrier, of course this is just a guess.

In addition, there was a change in the Xixia Palace before. The Xixia king Li Bingchang and the Western Xia Liang family were imprisoned outside the city. Recently, there was even more amazing news - Li Bingchang, was missing!"

A strange color flashed across Zhao Xu's face, which had no expression, and his voice was a little tired: "Where is he...?"

Han Wei looked at Zhao Xu's back and said, "Maybe it's a thief in Hengshan!"

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed and his voice became louder: "Is this black kite really related to Li?"

Han Wei said: "It is very likely that it is an elite soldier Li secretly raised to ensure the continuation of the royal family at a critical moment."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and asked, "When did the envoys of Xixia arrive, and when did Li Bingchang disappear?"

Han Wei secretly calculated and said, "Li Bingchang should have disappeared in early March, and the envoy of Xixia arrived in Bianjing in late March..."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "No need to forget it, they must have set out when Li Bingchang was missing."

Han Wei was shocked and said: "Your Majesty means that these news are true."

Zhao Xu nodded: "Li Bingchang was among the thieves in Hengshan. The envoy of Xixia was so anxious to make peace, and the conditions were quite relaxed.

Haha, what is Liang anxious about? I didn’t know much about it before, and now I can probably understand that Li Bingchang has already made Liang feel threatened!"

Han Wei nodded and said, "That's right, the following news is- Hengshan thieves conquered Zuo Chunze, Liuboling, Tiemen Pass and Baichi City overnight!

In addition, the Xishou Baotai Army and the Jingsai Army have joined forces to announce that the Xishou Baotai Army and the Jingsai Army support their king Li Bingchang, and declared war on the rebel Liang clan. When the news was released, the two military divisions had already begun to march towards Lingzhou City!"

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, and sucked the warm wind with a faint charcoal fire into his lungs, making him feel uncomfortable and coughed.

——Five ways to defeat Xia and Ouyang Bian’s death made Zhao Xu sick.

Han Wei said: "Your Majesty?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and signaled that it was not hindered.

Zhao Xu looked at Han Wei and saw what he said.

Han Wei knew what Zhao Xu meant, but he said: "It was a good opportunity, but now the five-way attack on Xia has reached its current situation, even Ouyang Bian has returned to immortality because of this. The Western Army suffered heavy losses, and the war-weariness inside and outside the court is rising. I am afraid that there is no way to organize it for a while.

Zhao Xu's anger became depressed.

Actually, he didn't know that there was no conclusion on the discussion of the five routes of attack on Xia in and outside the court. Maybe he, the monarch, would have to issue an edict to blame himself.

Even Sima Guang and others turned their attention to the Xihe border, believing that Xihe border was useless to consume national strength, and they tore off his last fig leaf in one fell swoop. How could they allow him to launch another national war?

Zhao Xu sighed.

Han Wei also shook his head and said, "Why would Zhang Xiang and others from the Political Affairs Hall discuss it together?"

Zhao Xu shook his head. There was no need to discuss what would happen if he knew the result without discussing it.

However, if you have this, you may be able to gain some benefits in the negotiations.

Moreover, you can also do things inside. As long as you don’t make a big fuss, you won’t attract attention inside and outside the court.

Zhao Xu thought about it and said, "How strong is this Hengshan thief?"

Han Wei hesitated and said, "The Western Army said it is very strong and they are all cavalrymen. It may be because it has a deep relationship with Iron Harrier, so it is quite difficult to compete with them.

But this is a one-sided statement from the Western Army. After all, they lost all the Hengshan area that was hard-working to capture, and they probably mean to shirk responsibility."

Zhao Xu nodded. This was normal. Otherwise, although the court was withdrawing its troops, it would have easily discarded the last result.

If the court wants to pursue the matter, it is really accurate to catch one by one, and it may not be necessary to throw all the responsibility for the battle directly on them.

So their first idea was to say that the Hengshan Thief was awesome, which means that their evacuation was a helpless move and was really invincible, so that they could shirk responsibility.

"So, the black kite's strength can only be said to be average. If you want to fight against the Western Xia court, is that meaningless?"

Zhao Xu asked.

Han Wei did not dare to make a conclusion randomly, but said, "It may not be possible. After all, Xishou Baotai Military Office and Jingsai Military Office both expressed their support, which shows that they still trust Li Bingchang's current strength.

Li Bingchang has great righteousness, and maybe he can really make a stir."

Zhao Xu laughed: "That's the case, that's possible... Mr. Han, this discussion may not necessarily be done with the gang of traitors of the Western Xia court. He has to do business with Hengshan... Well, doing business with Lord Li is the right way, what do you think?"

Han Wei's heart moved, and he understood what Zhao Xu meant.

Zhao Xu meant to support Hengshan thieves, provide supplies and weapons, so that they and Liang could fight to the death. It would be better to lose all their energy. When he freed up his hand, he might be able to easily take back Xixia!

"Then the mission here?"

Han Wei hesitated a little.

Zhao Xu snorted: "Drag and send someone to Hengshan to give them more sincerity and supplies. If they have no money, let them use the salt from the salt pond to get it to death!"

Han Wei also laughed.
