After hearing Gao Chu Gong's words, the envoy immediately rushed to the city of Xiazhou and conveyed Gao Chu Gong's words to the city lord of Xiazhou.
The lord of Xiazhou City heard that Kou Ji was assassinated, and he was happy.
Then there was full of panic.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Xixia. With Xixia's current strength, it is difficult to say whether it can be defended.
If Xixia was destroyed by Song Dynasty, then what should he do
For a moment, the city lord of Xiazhou was in a mess.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Gao Fang's respectful words.
Because Gao Chugong led a heavy soldier stationed outside the city, Da Song's attitude knew where he was, and it was clear at a glance.
He knows a little about military affairs, so through the tents set up outside the city and the smoke that rises when the pot is buried every day for cooking, he can tell that the number of soldiers and horses in the opponent's barracks is less than 50,000.
The opponent led 50,000 soldiers and horses, attacked Xiazhou City once, took the lives of the defenders in Xiazhou City, and the lives of several generals of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division, and never attacked Xiazhou City again.
It should be a warning.
It may also be waiting for the arrival of the army to push Xiazhou City horizontally.
The city owner of Xiazhou City felt that the possibility of Xiazhou City holding it was extremely low.
As for going out of the city to fight, he didn't even think about it.
Not to mention that the number of Song Jun is more than that of Xixia Zuoxiang Brave Army Division, just the unpredictable firearm in Song Jun's hand is enough to scare him from leaving the city.
In the victory of Chuan, the Song army relied on the advantage of firearms to overturn 150,000 elite soldiers from Huangtou and Huihe.
In Qu Yechuan, the Song army relied on the benefit of firearms to overthrow the 100,000 elite soldiers of Liao.
Two firearms intervened in the war, and both achieved great results.
Firearms must have the possibility of turning the tide of war.
What he can do now is to defend Xiazhou City.
The lord of Xiazhou City thought for a day.
Sending someone out of the city secretly, the news of Kou Ji's assassination was passed back to Xingqing Mansion.
At the same time, another group of people were sent out of the city to ask for help from the Jianing Army Division.
Gao Chu Gong was outside Xiazhou City and made a posture of siege and not attack.
The two sides suddenly fell into a strange peace.
Three days have passed.
A shocking news reached Gao Chu Gong and the city lord of Xiazhou.
"The soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army Division encountered General Liu's ambush at Sanchakou. They cut five thousand in battle and captured more than 30,000 people. Some others escaped. Now General Liu is leading the soldiers and horses and escorted them. Coming to Xiazhou City with the captives."
The soldier who passed the order quickly told Gao Chugong the result of Liu Heng's battle.
After listening to the news, Gao Duong laughed: "Since then, the territory of Xixia south of Baichi City has been my Dasong, hahahaha..."
After the high place smiled, he recruited an envoy and said to the envoy: "Go and tell the city lord of Xiazhou City that the other vanguard horse I sent to the official family has already taken the Jianing Army Division. The soldiers and horses of the completely wiped out Jianing Army Division slaughtered all the people in the place where the Jianing Army Division was stationed.
The officials who came to supervise the war have urged me to take down Xiazhou City as soon as possible.
I have a kind heart, and I don't want to see innocent people die tragically. I give him three more days. If he doesn't surrender within three days, I can only lead the army to attack Xiazhou City.
At that time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it is indispensable to have a spree in Xiazhou City. "
Gao Qi Gong knew in his heart that the city lord of Xiazhou City was shrouded in the city, and he did not get news as fast as him, so he can brag about how mysterious he is, just how mysterious he can brag about it.
Gao Chu Gong didn't know at all, his words completely said that the city lord of Xiazhou had a painful point.
The lord of Xiazhou City, somewhat conscientious.
Therefore, when Xiazhou City was in distress, he did not give up the people to flee, but instead used his trivial military strategy to abruptly support the defense of Xiazhou City.
He was not for the soldiers and horses of Xixia, but for the people living in Xiazhou City.
Gao Yuan Gong talked about slaughtering the people, and the revelry threatened him, and a wave of vacillation was born in his heart.
When he secretly dispatched personnel to investigate the news of the Jianing Army Division, and learned that the Jianing Army Division's soldiers and horses were ambushed and annihilated, his heart was extremely cold.
And the manpower he sent out not only brought back to him the news that the entire army of the Jianing Army had been wiped out, but also the news that Baichi City was captured.
His heart is getting colder.
If the generals of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division were still alive, at this time, they would definitely have the mind to retreat.
Exit Xiazhou City, pass Dijinze, and return to Xingqing Mansion to save strength.
But he is not a warrior, and he has no intention of preserving the strength of soldiers and horses.
He cares more about the people of a city in Xiazhou City.
If he took people away and killed the killer from a high place, and slaughtered the people of Xiazhou City, then he would not feel at ease when he died.
finally.
When Liu Heng led a soldier and horse, appeared outside Xiazhou City.
The lord of Xiazhou City succumbed.
He gave up the idea of breaking through and fleeing, and chose to surrender to the Song Dynasty, just to save the people of Xiazhou City.
When the city lord of Xiazhou sent someone to open the city gate and led the people from the left side of Xixia's Brave Army Division to ask for surrender from the heights.
Liu Heng just got off his horse.
Liu Heng looked at the soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City, who was holding the white flag, standing together and invited to surrender.
"What do you mean?"
Gao Chu Gong proudly raised his head and said faintly: "War is based on wisdom. Those who succumb to the soldiers without fighting are the generals. You led tens of thousands of people to ambush the Jianing Army Division at Sanchakou. The soldiers and horses lost thousands of people before they defeated the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army Division.
And the old man, who only lost a few hundred soldiers and horses, made the people of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division in Xiazhou City yield.
Who is high and who is low, isn't that clear at a glance? "
Hearing this, Liu Heng glanced at the high place with respect, and said suspiciously: "I am not as good as you when it comes to leading soldiers in the war. Isn't it right for you to achieve greater results than me?"
The high place stared at Liu Heng with wide eyes in astonishment. He opened his mouth several times, but didn't say a word.
He finally had the opportunity to linger in front of Liu Heng, but he didn't expect Liu Heng to answer like this.
For a moment there was nothing in his heart.
Liu Heng didn't care about Gao Chugong's face. He looked at the people who had requested to land outside Xiazhou City, and muttered: "Since the people in Xiazhou City have landed, then we don't have to work hard to make arrangements.
We cleaned up Xiazhou as soon as possible, and then divided our troops out to clear other places south of Baichi City.
After all of them were taken south of Baichi City, they led their troops to Baichi City, waiting for the results of Wang Kai, Zhu Neng, and Chong Shiheng. "
So far, although there are Xixia troops stationed in the places where Liu Heng and others have attacked, the number is not large and the combat effectiveness of Che is not strong.
Most of the real elite soldiers in Xixia are based in Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion generations, guarding the Xixia Palace.
Kou Ji is going to attack Xixia, a real fierce battle, I am afraid that it will be when the soldiers are in Huaizhou and other places.
Don't look at Liu Heng and others who are aggressive now.
But it's actually just a small mess.
When the generation from Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion came, that was the battlefield of the great war.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are torn and killed together, and human brains can be beaten into pig brains.
Hearing the words from a high place, he nodded slowly.
He probably saw the purpose of Kou Ji's arrangement like this.
Although Kou Ji will not lead the war, but the layout does have a set.
Liu Heng, Wang Kai, Zhu Neng, and Chong Shiheng led their troops to invade Xixia from various places, and they would eventually join forces in Huaizhou and Xingqing Mansion.
Xixia suffered heavy losses one after another, and there were not many elite soldiers in his hand.
Li Deming was afraid to send the elite soldiers and horses out when the war broke out all over the territory of Xixia.
Must stick to the Xingqing Mansion generation.
Because once he dispatches soldiers and horses, he is likely to be restrained.
The Song Dynasty sent heavy troops all the time, from the Great Wall south of Xingqing Mansion, it was completely possible to fight Huanglong.
It should be noted that when the Song Dynasty was contending for Xixia, the Great Wall south of Xingqing Mansion in Xixia had already been occupied.
Today, the border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia is a nail-shaped, with the tip of the nail pointing straight to the Xingqing Mansion in Xixia.
Therefore, Li Deming didn't dare to give up the defense of Xingqing Mansion, and could only watch the Great Song soldiers conquer the city in various parts of Xixia.
Kou Ji dared to send Zhu Neng, Liu Heng and others to attack Xixia from different places, which was exactly what he saw.
Li Deming now can only wait for the great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses to join forces to prosper the Qing Mansion and the Huaizhou generation to start a decisive battle.
At that time, if Xixia wins, Xixia will have a chance to survive. If Xixia loses, it may be destroyed.
"Xiazhou City was the one that you recruited to surrender. Go and accept it!"
Liu Heng respectfully said to the high place.
Gao Chu Gong proudly raised his head, "That's natural..."
Gao Chugong led a group of people to the outside of Xiazhou City and accepted the surrender of Xiazhou City's lord.
At the time of surrender, the city lord of Xiazhou City specifically told Gao Chugong that he must keep the people in Xiazhou City.
Gaoli Gongyi agreed.
The soldiers and horses of the Xixia Zuoxiang Brave Army Division stationed in Xiazhou City disarmed together and were sent into the prison camp by people sent by Gong from a high place.
After the city lord of Xiazhou City and the soldiers and horses of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division surrendered, Gao Chu Gong finally didn't need to hide and tuck him, and happily exposed his futility to the city lord of Xiazhou.
When the city lord of Xiazhou saw that Gao Chu Gong only led five thousand people, he knew that he was in the middle.
He was secretly cursing Gao Chu Gong in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Gao Chu Gong seemed to know that he must have thoughts in his heart, so he called him into his tent and said with a smile: "Is it a little regretful that I think I'm cheating you?"
The city lord of Xiazhou didn't speak.
Gao Chu Gong continued to smile and said, "I cheated you, but I am also for your good. Do you think that if I told you the details of our army, do you have the power to recover
It was a fake that I led my army to attack Xiazhou City, but it was true that I secretly ambushed reinforcements from Jianing.
When the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army were smashed, Xiazhou City was not to be feared.
Presumably you already know that Baichi City has been breached.
Even if you know my reality and even defeat me, it is impossible to change the situation of the battle.
The end result is to escape from Di Jinze.
However, when we divided our troops to ambush the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army, we had already sent people to Baichi City to pass orders.
The soldiers and horses rushing to Baichi City will definitely rush to Dijinze to set up an ambush after they have taken Baichi City.
Even if you lead the people from the left side of Xixia's Brave Army Division to escape, you will eventually fall into the palm of our hands. I am afraid that you will end up the same as those from the Jianing Army Division.
Therefore, if you surrender to me, you have made the wisest choice. "
After hearing Gao Chu Gong's words, City Lord Xiazhou felt a little better.
Gao Chugong continued to smile and said, "The reason I have told you so much is because I have seen you have a benevolent heart and care about the people in Xiazhou City. Any official who has people in mind is not too bad.
I intend to invite you to follow me, can you agree? "
Gao Chugong felt that the city lord of Xiazhou was a talent.
He looks soft and weak, and in Xixia, a place where bravery is admired, there is no chance to lead soldiers.
But at a critical time, his ability to stand up and stabilize the hearts and minds of the soldiers and horses of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army with the body of a civilian is enough to prove that he is extraordinary.
More importantly, he gave up the opportunity to escape for the sake of the people of a city.
It shows that he has persistence in his heart and has a bottom line.
Even if he is bad, he won't be bad.
Gao Chugong is now in the Jiangwu Hall and is being bullied by people sent by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen everywhere. He feels that he needs to prepare one or two manpower for himself.
He recruited one or two people, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji should not refuse.
If more solicitation would shake Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's position in the hearts of the Wutang students, then Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji would definitely kill him without hesitation.
He even had the bottom line of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, so he was prepared to enrich his strength within a reasonable range.
After hearing Gao Chu Gong's words, the city lord of Xiazhou slowly shook his head.
"I have the merit of surrender. Even if the Song Dynasty does not reuse me, he will govern a county and a state. I like dealing with the people, but I don't like dealing with the soldiers.
So I can only thank the general for his kindness. "
After a pause, the city lord of Xiazhou added, "When I was frightened by you, I took the initiative to surrender. It shows that my ability to lead soldiers is not that great. Leading soldiers with you will only lead to death. I still It is better to continue to manage the local area. I just want to watch the people under the rule live and work in peace."
The expression on Gong Gong's face was a little stiff, "Now that you are in my camp and you refuse my kindness, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
The lord of Xiazhou City glanced at the high place respectfully, and said with a weird expression: "Do you dare?"
A trace of anger appeared on Gong Gao's face.
The city lord of Xiazhou City murmured: "When I was in the Song Dynasty, I was also a famous scholar, and I also got a fame. It was just that the transportation was not good, and my mother died. I stayed at home for three years, and it happened. Xixia people went south and plundered me to Xixia.
Most of the neighbors in the countryside were looted to Xixia.
In order to prevent them from living a hard life under the rule of Xixia, I can only work in Xixia and help Xixia.
When I was in Xingqing Mansion, I had some credit for being transferred to Xiazhou City.
Although I haven't returned to Da Song for a long time, I still understand some of Da Song's rules.
I have the merit of surrender, and I belong to the ministers.
You can't deal with me.
You have to report to His Majesty the Song Emperor. "
Hearing the words from the heights, he frowned, and asked: "Are you a citizen of Song Dynasty before?"
The city lord of Xiazhou sighed and said: "In Xixia, nine out of ten herder officials are all Song people. Some took the initiative to seek refuge in Xixia, some fled to Xixia after committing a crime, and some were looted by Xixia."
Gao Chu Gong frowned and said, "I know about this... Since you are from Song Dynasty, why are you willing to work for Xixia?"
The city lord of Xiazhou City sighed faintly, "The knife rests on our necks, can we refuse? Do you think I am the lord of the city? Although I am the city lord of Xiazhou City, I have to listen to the order of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division .
The generals of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army Division are all Xixia people. "
