Chapter 109: Yan Yun’s Restoration (I)

Shanzhou, Anding City.

Anding City is originally an important place in Shanzhou, with a large population and a very prosperous place. However, at this moment, Anding City has become a hell on earth, no longer as prosperous as before.

Since designing the complete annihilation of the Anding Army, the Xixia army has been running straight to Anding City without stopping, and has captured Anding City without any effort. At that time, because the Anding Army no longer exists, Anding City is an empty city and the capture is very smooth.

As soon as the Xixia army entered Anding City, a massacre and a large-scale robbery was staged. For the Xixia people trapped in the northwest, Shanzhou was a rich paradise. When they came here, they were immediately dazzled, just like beggars suddenly saw mountains of gold and silver, and they could not bear it and started a large-scale robbery.

Shanzhou in the Song Dynasty was mainly in northern Shaanxi. Compared with the rich places in the Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a very poor place. However, for the poor and crazy Xixia people, Shanzhou is already a paradise on earth, and they can't do it even if they are dazzling.

This robbery was awesome, and a catastrophe was staged. First, it was a robbery, then it was a murder and arson, and tragedy in the world was staged.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi were both good generals and had no intention of robbing. They wanted to build Anding City into a base and use it as a strategic springboard for attacking. To achieve this goal, they had to treat the people here well, otherwise it would not be possible to succeed. However, what they never expected was that such a disaster would be like this.

It was impossible to wait until they realized that they ordered the ban on robbery. At this time, the robbery of the Xixia army became popular. Not to mention their military orders, even the imperial edict of the Xixia Emperor did not work, just rob.

The two of them discussed and finally ordered a big robbery. The big robbery became more and more intense. It was not until half a month later that the Xixia people snatched a lot and then stopped.

By then, the five cities of Anding captured by Xixia had already become ruins, and only the Xixia army was alive. If it weren't for the Xixia army, even the rats would not want to survive.

This is hell on earth!

In the Xixia military camp, the Xixia people looked at the piles of gold and silver, beautiful silk, exquisite porcelain, and endless tea. They all looked shining in their eyes and were so happy that they were dying.

In this life, I will count the happiest one today!

Xixia was very poor and poor, much poorer than the Liao Kingdom. Their daily living resources were mainly obtained by trade with the Song Dynasty. However, there were two main things that Xixia could trade with the Song Dynasty, one was horses and the other was salt. Apart from that, there was nothing to show off.

Although the Xixia and the Song Dynasty had border markets, it was far worse than the border trade between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. The transaction volume was too small and the varieties were even smaller. This caused the Xixia people to have not had a rich living resources for a long time, and their lives were very hard, just like beautiful silk. For ordinary Xixia people, it was a legendary thing. They had only heard of it, but had never seen it at all.

At this time, when they saw so much silk, they would not be able to see stars.

"Oh my God! Otherwise, I really don't know that the Song people are so rich!"

"The Song land is much richer than ours, and it is rich everywhere here!"

"So much gold and silver, beautiful silk, exquisite porcelain, fragrant spices, delicious tea... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this would be true!"

All the people in Xixia have become nouveau riche, and they are full of praise.

Li Zongbao, Liang Xizheng and a group of generals gathered in the tent, eating meat and drinking, and telling the harvest of these days, they all had fun, drinking big bowls of wine, eating meat and enjoying a lot.

"The Song people's wine is so rich!"

"The food of the Song people is so delicious! It's much better than our roast lamb!"

"The women of the Song Dynasty are tender and tender, and they can sing and dance well. Only when they get here can we know that they are happy!"

The generals were eating meat and drinking, while talking about happy topics, and they were filled with joy.

"Master, where will we fight next?" A general was very dissatisfied. He put down the wine bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "Daxia and Emperor Song have fought for decades, but they have not been able to fall into five cities in one fell swoop like now. Now, we know that the wealth of Song realm is far greater than our Xixia. We should take this opportunity to occupy more places and gain more benefits!"

"Yes!" This immediately attracted a lot of echoes, and the generals agreed in unison: "It took decades to get such a good opportunity, and you must not miss it!"

Xixia fought with the Song Dynasty for decades, and although Xixia gained the upper hand, Xixia did not occupy the city of the Song Dynasty, but still hid in the northwest, with poor mountains and rivers, and had no improvement in national strength and did not gain much benefit. Now, the benefits of capturing five cities in one fell swoop are much more than the annual monies I received from the Song Dynasty for decades. They all hope to continue fighting, beat hard, capture more cities and get more wealth.

"That's natural!" Li Zongbao happily put down the wine glass in his hand, burped, and said, "This time Daxia sent troops not to be just an city of Anding, nor would he be satisfied with Shanzhou. Although Anding and rich, it is nothing compared to Shanzhou! Although Shanzhou is good, it is nothing compared to the rich Guanzhong area!"

Speaking of this, Li Zongbao stopped and looked at the generals. He saw that the generals opened their eyes wide and stretched their necks. Obviously, his words raised their interest. He smiled slightly and said, "Guanzhong is a rich place! When we arrived in Guanzhong, we had endless food, endless wine, endless gold and silver, and endless beautiful silk!"

Liang Xi took over the conversation and said, "Most of you have only heard of Guanzhong's name, but they don't know the wealth of Guanzhong! Guanzhong is known as the 800-mile Qinchuan, with many ports there and rich people. It is a famous place in the Song Dynasty! Guanzhong's wealth did not originate from the current dynasty, but was famous all over the world more than two thousand years ago! At that time, it was the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin was weak and suppressed the Wei State. The famous general Wu Qi seized the land of Hexi of Qin State. Looking down on Guanzhong, Wei State might destroy Qin State at any time."

"Haha! The situation at that time was similar to that of our current ones! We captured the five cities of Anding, and could overlook Guanzhong, and we could send troops to Guanzhong at any time." After a brief pause, we smiled and said: "Qin State is unwilling to be defeated. Qin Xiaogong learned from his mistakes and demanded reforms. Shang Yang entered Qin alone, met Qin Xiaogong, and promoted the nine strategies of Qin, and implemented reforms in Qin. Since then, the land of Guanzhong has become a famous and rich place. By the time of Qin Shihuang, Zheng State canal was built, and Guanzhong's wealth was further improved and famous! The capital of Qin and Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties was established in Guanzhong, and it is thought that Guanzhong was rich."

Speaking of this, he stopped, looked at the generals, and said in an extremely tempting tone: "Think about it, will the name of wealth in Guanzhong be bad for thousands of years? Where is the real paradise!"

Although the generals here do not read books, they do not know much about historical facts. However, with his explanation, they are very tempting. They all opened their mouths wide and saliva flowed out, and they wished they could lead their troops south and head straight to Guanzhong.

"Master, when will we set off south?"

"Guanzhong is so rich, we should succeed early."

"Yes! It turns out that Guanzhong is so rich. We were so happy that we could not help but feel relieved when we got the Five Cities. We really have no vision!"

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi listened to the words of the generals, comforted them in their hearts, and nodded secretly. Li Zongbao waved his right hand to stop the generals from discussing, and said, "It is inevitable to go to Guanzhong. Let's take a break and immediately raise troops to go south and go straight to Guanzhong!"

"The Emperor Song is fighting with the Khitan ***, and it is difficult to draw troops to Guanzhong in a short time. By the time the battle between Song and Liao was decided, we had already drunk in Guanzhong!" Liang Xi's heroic spirit rose sharply and said proudly: "This is the largest war in the history of Song and Liao. It is impossible to decide the victory or defeat in less than a year and a half, or even three or five years. By then, even if Emperor Song wins, it will inevitably be a waste of national strength and a huge loss of troops. If you want to send troops to Guanzhong to fight us, you must be powerless. In this way, Guanzhong will inevitably belong to Daxia! Haha!"

The more I spoke, the more proud I became. Later, I looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

"Haha!" Needless to say, the generals understood and laughed with him.

For a moment, laughter burst into tears, shaking the brackets on the roof trembled.

Li Zongbao, Liang Xi, and a group of generals were full of compassion and happiness.

However, just as they were laughing wildly and dreaming, a soldier rushed in like a flying man, and reported loudly, saying: "Report to the Grand Commander, Zhuozhou Army News: The Song army defeated the Liao Kingdom, and Wu Ji is chasing Yelu Hongji!"

"Haha! OK! OK! OK!" The news was too abrupt. Li Zongbao and Liang Xi did not react at all, and they even praised each other.

"What? The Liao Kingdom was defeated? Yelu Hongji was chasing him?" As soon as they said their praise, they realized that they were screaming, and then they were screaming, their eyes widening, not believing that it was true.

"It is impossible to decide the outcome in such a big battle in less than a year or two. You must be lying about military information!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi scolded each other.

With such a large-scale battle, it is already very fast to decide the winner in one or two years. It is not difficult, but difficult to believe that it is not difficult to decide the winner in such a short time!

"Report to the Grand Commander, Zhuozhou Army Report: The Song army defeated the Liao Kingdom, and Wu Ji was chasing Yelu Hongji!" At this moment, several soldiers rushed in in a row and reported in unison.

In this way, even though Li Zongbao and Liang Xi were extremely reluctant to believe this was true, they had to believe it.

"This is impossible! It's impossible!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi screamed loudly, pulling their hair hard, their faces twisted, and their faces looked in disbelief.

"Even if the Liao people are pigs, so many pigs gather together and let the Song army chop and kill them, they will have to chop and kill for many days! How could they be defeated so quickly?" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi shouted in the same voice: "Yelu Hongji, you stupid pig, if you lose, where should Daxia go?"
