Chapter 264 Wanyan Loushi
"Strip them of their clothes."

"Since you consider yourself to be from the Great Baigao Kingdom, you are a Tangut barbarian. Why are you pretending to be a cultured person in front of me?"

Chen Ran did not hide his contempt at all. "Han Yu said it well: 'If the princes use the barbarian rituals, they are barbarians; if they advance to the Chinese, they are Chinese.' This applies not only to the princes, but to everyone."

"You follow the barbarian etiquette, do barbarian things, and consider yourselves barbarians. That is Diyi!"

"I will not negotiate with the Diyi." He waved his hand heavily, "You don't need to offer the city, Xingqing Prefecture can take it for itself!"

Chen Ran left the cavalry behind, and the rest of the troops were free to act. Whoever entered Xingqing Prefecture first would be rewarded with the credit of capturing the city.

If it were somewhere else, other opponents would definitely not do this.

The other party seized the opportunity to counterattack, but was immediately defeated.

But Western Xia had already been defeated. Not only was the capital open, but the emperor had also fled.

In just a short period of time, some tribal nobles came with gifts and wanted to surrender.

He took this opportunity to encourage the troops and boost their courage and morale when facing the Diyi.

Let the soldiers see clearly that the Diyi are nothing to be afraid of, and it will be a mess even if they lose the battle!
When the troops from various units received the military order, they all showed their magical powers.

Wu Jie reacted the fastest. He abandoned his baggage and ran all the way carrying only his weapons and armor.

Qu Duan was so cunning that he simply left even his armor in the camp and set out with light equipment.

Han Shizhong was the most outrageous. He actually intercepted his colleagues halfway, took other people's paths, and left them with no way to go.

But the troops who finally entered Xingqing Prefecture first were those led by Zhang Jun, who came from the Qinfeng Army.

The reason was very simple. He went to borrow horses from the cavalry and found thousands of good riders in the Qin Feng army. He rushed into the city first at lightning speed.

As for Yue Fei, when his brothers were ready to compete for merit, they were stopped by Yue Fei.

"How can we abandon our commander and fight for merit alone on the battlefield? We should guard the center of the army and not leave without permission."

A march to Xingqing Prefecture allowed Chen Ran to observe these newly emerging military generals up close.

What kind of personality, work style, etc.

When he arrived outside the gate of Xingqing Prefecture, he did not enter the city. He simply instructed the generals around him, "Those who resist will be killed, and those who surrender will be captured. All supplies and land will be seized and rewarded to the meritorious soldiers. Send a message to Li Ying of Jingzhao Prefecture to organize the people with no or little land to migrate here and distribute land, cattle and sheep. The rewards for the soldiers who have made military achievements this time will also be paid from the land in Xitao."

Western Xia blocked the Silk Road and had a fairly good financial income, seizing a large amount of money and silk.

What surprised Chen Ran was that when Li Qianshun fled, he did not burn the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain stored in various granaries inside and outside the city.

This made him difficult to understand: "What does it mean to leave all the food to me?"

Some surrendered Han officials gave Li Qianshun's original words.

"If I burn all the food, the Song people will definitely extort it from the people. I am so immoral and incompetent that I have lost the foundation of my ancestors. I am already ashamed of my ancestors. How can I be ashamed of the people again!"

"Did you spoil your brain from studying?" Chen Ran thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, this is to pave the way for fighting back in the future."

"All the remaining people in the city are Tanguts or Han people. They are all Tanguts, no Han people." He quickly made a decision, "No matter their status, all of them will be made into military slaves. Recruit people who are willing to migrate here from all over the country and give them houses and fields to fill the city."

"Western Xia territory is under military control. Zhang Jun is appointed as the Xingling Envoy and 15,000 Qinfeng Road soldiers are selected to garrison there. Another 300 student soldiers are transferred to set up local government offices."

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded.

His background was similar to Yue Fei's. He was a local archer in his hometown, an armed militia responsible for maintaining public order and suppressing bandits.

After Liu Fa was defeated, Master Zhong went to Xiaoguan for revenge.

After returning, he recruited local militiamen in Qinfeng Road to supplement the losses of regular troops.

Zhang Jun, who was born in Fengxiang Prefecture, officially became a regular soldier of Qinfeng Road at this time.

After all the hard work, he is just a squad leader.

But when it comes to Chen Ran, his military achievements have been rising rapidly, and now he has even become an envoy!
In the past, I would never have dared to even dream of such a good thing.

"Your Majesty~~" Zhang Jun saluted with tears in his eyes, "I will live up to your trust!"

"Your focus is on migrating immigrants and distributing land."

Chen Ran instructed, "The place is not peaceful, you must clean it up properly and don't let those barbarians hurt the immigrants."

Zhang Jun was a smart man and immediately understood what Chen Ran meant.

He immediately bowed again and said, "Don't worry, my king. I will severely suppress the Tanguts in various places. I will do twice as much as they did to Han people back then!"

"Ten times the return." Chen Ran waved his hand calmly, "That's about right."

All the generals were stunned.

Considering the oppression the Tanguts have inflicted on the local people, if you come and repay them tenfold, would anyone be left alive?
However, this was in Western Xia, not in the six routes of Guanzhong. The generals looked at each other and no one spoke.

"All units should reorganize their troops." Chen Ran said with a smile, "Those who have made contributions during the war should report their names, and those who deserve promotions and rewards should be given. After fighting a war to destroy a country, the soldiers should at least get some benefits."

This was a good thing that everyone liked, and all the generals responded with great enthusiasm.

Thousands of miles away on the bank of Yishui River, Wanyan Loushi, who came from the Liao Dynasty's Western Capital (Datong), used his usual cavalry assault tactics to defeat the 30,000 Western Xia regular troops led by Li Liangfu.

Relying on the advantage of cavalry, they chased the enemy all the way to the bank of Yishui at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Countless Dangxiang people who fled frantically fell into the water and were drowned or trampled to death.

After the war, Li Liangfu took in the defeated soldiers and had only about 10,000 soldiers.

Of the thirty thousand most elite standing troops, only a little over ten thousand were left.

For the weak Western Xia, this was not just a serious injury, it was a direct bone-cutting!

"The governor."

A Mouke rode up to Wanyan Loushi and saluted, "Among the captured prisoners, there are several messengers, who are said to be sent by the emperor of the Tanguts."

"Oh?" Wanyan Loushi hesitated for a moment and said, "Bring them here." Although he defeated the Dangxiang people, he did not intend to continue chasing them.

There were too few soldiers and horses around him, and their main target was the Liao emperor who had hidden in the Yin Mountains.

If the Dangxiang people had not taken the initiative to help the Liao emperor, he would not have come to fight.

The messenger was quickly brought over, and after some questioning he learned shocking news.

"Have the Song people already attacked Xingqing Prefecture?"

Wanyan Loushi, a veteran of many battles, was also surprised by this.

Ever since the failure of the Maritime Alliance, the Wanyans have been very dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty, believing that they were not trustworthy.

However, they had no idea about the Song people.

After all, the distance is too far and they have never fought.

"I heard that there was a civil war among the Song people and a new emperor was appointed." Wanyan Loushi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Considering the communication capabilities of that era, it was already good enough for the Jin people to know what happened in the Song Dynasty. It was simply impossible to know the details.

Ma Zhi did go there, but Wanyan Loushi had been leading troops in battle outside and had not returned to see him.

"Call all the generals to discuss the matter."

Before the war, the Jin people were quite democratic and everyone could express their opinions.

However, in Wanyan Loushi's place, most people said that they would just listen to the commander-in-chief.

There is no way. As the most famous general of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Loushi’s record and abilities are really too strong.

"Everyone." Wanyan Loushi held the sword at his waist and looked around at the generals, "I intend to continue to send troops deep into the territory of Xia."

No one said anything. After all, they were fighting so smoothly and they were so arrogant that they could go deeper into Xia State.

However, Lou Shi then changed the subject and said, "This time, I want to meet the Song army."

Everyone looked puzzled.

They knew about the Song people, but had never dealt with them.

And this is clearly the Xia Kingdom, how come there are Song army here?
"I always feel that," Lou Shi recounted the story of the Xixia messenger, "that we will confront the Song people in the future. I want to take this opportunity to see what the Song people are capable of."

"Daddy~" his eldest son Wanyan Huonu immediately said, "We will listen to you."

Lou Shi smiled and instructed, "Huo Nu, send someone to send a letter to Yin Shuke, asking him to bring troops to support us."

"Take orders."

After arranging people to deliver the letter, Huo Nu asked, "Dad, we have only one Wan Hu here. We defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitans back then. Are we still afraid of the Song people?"

"It's not fear." Lou Shi responded simply, "It's for the generals to take care of."

Wanyan Loushi was extremely famous in the Jin army and had outstanding abilities.

His achievements were so numerous that, in order to commend him, Aguda directly appointed him as the Wanhu of Huanglong Prefecture.

It is the Huanglong Mansion where Yue Fei shouted "Go straight to Huanglong".

He was very capable. At this time, the Khitans were about to perish, and the Dangxiang people had exposed their vulnerable nature. It was natural for him to turn his attention to the last great country in the world.

Regardless of whether there will be a fight in the end, it is necessary to test the situation first.

On the second day, Wanyan Loushi led five or six thousand cavalrymen to attack.

His Wan Hu had been fighting all the time, and the losses were difficult to replenish. Some of them were scattered far away, so only these were gathered around him.

Fortunately, a letter has been sent to Yin Shuke in Datong Prefecture, and reinforcements will be sent from there.

It was seven days later that Chen Ran learned about the Jin people.

The specially dispatched scouts delivered the news to Xingqing Prefecture at full speed.

"Wanyan Loushi, he is here as expected."

Chen Ran knew that the troops that founded the Jin Dynasty were very strong. In fact, any force that rose from a cold and bitter land was always very strong when it founded its country.

So he did not set out with only the cavalry, but also brought the entire army after it had been repaired.

Going north along the Yellow River, we left Saishang and Jiangnan and went deep into the Houtao area.

Wanyan Loushi came with the intention of testing Chen Ran, but he left with the intention of destroying him.

The difference in mentality between the two sides will eventually be reflected on the battlefield.

To the north of Houtao is the Yinshan Mountains, and across the Yinshan Mountains is the vast grassland.

To the south is the mighty Yellow River.

This section of the Yellow River forms the upper horizontal line of the Chinese character "几".

To the south of the Yellow River is a vast sea of ​​sand.

Chen Ran eliminated and pacified the Western Xia forces along the way. All the food, fodder, livestock and assets were confiscated, and the population was converted into laborers to transport logistical supplies.

After fighting on and off, they finally arrived at the Heishan Weifu Military Command of Western Xia.

If we change to another familiar place name, it would be Wuyuan.

That’s right, the Wuyuan County where Baotou Lu Bu was born.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they are all the Han Dynasty since ancient times.

But when the literati and scholars came to power, all of this was lost.

In this place with abundant water and grass, Chen Ran finally ran into Wanyan Loushi who was also sweeping and killing his way here!
