    Most of these Fan people are the leaders of the Fan tribe on Jingyuan Road, and there are also some Fan people leaders on Qinfeng Road.

    Most of the Fan tribes have learned farming. The Song Dynasty allocated land to these Fan tribes. Each person was given two hectares of land. If they had war horses, they would be given an additional fifty acres.  The price was that they became the border archers of the Song Dynasty and provided their own weapons. When the court needed them, they could be directly recruited to the battlefield.  Except when the court needs to give some rewards when winning, there is no need to spend any money on weekdays.  You can even collect taxes from them. Originally, archers along the border were exempt from taxes, but within a few years, the Song Dynasty began to collect taxes from them. When Cai Jing was in power, the taxes were increased several times.

    Among the six roads in Shaanxi, Jingyuan Road had the most archers, and the front line was tight. However, Zhongshidao did not summon archers to support the front line, but asked them to protect their homes.

    The news of the change of dynasty has now spread all over the world, and the Han people are all uneasy.  If there had been no Xixia invasion, these Fan people would have followed Zhongshi Dao and surrendered to Daliang. However, with the Xixia army pressing down on the border, Daliang was obviously the weaker side, and Zhongshi Dao could not guarantee that the Fan people would not surrender to the enemy in front of the battle.  Therefore, Zhongshidao did not dare to let the Fan people go to the front line, let alone allow them to assemble.

    It wasn¡¯t until he came up with the God¡¯s plan that he invited the leaders of these people to come and prepare to let them know why Daliang could overthrow the Song Dynasty overnight.  It was because of this god's plan that Zhongshidao held back and did not let anyone use gunpowder to rescue the second city.

    ??The reason why the leaders of these tribes came is entirely because of the loyalty that the Zhong family has maintained for decades. Otherwise, the war would be chaotic and no one would easily leave their nest.

    Chao Yong is quite in favor of this plan. As long as he becomes a "god" in the eyes of the Fan people, not only will he not have to worry about the Fan people's rebellion, but he can also make the Fan people work for him and help him conquer the country.  All benefit and no harm.  He also needs to become a god in the Central Plains, so he might as well become a god all over the world.  It is more difficult to deceive the Han people, but it is much easier to deceive the Ban people. The inhuman skills and gunpowder are enough to make the Ban people astonished.

    "What's the situation with the Deshun Army and the Zhenrong Army?"

    "The Xixia soldiers and horses cut off the connection between the city and the outside world, but the situation in the two places should be similar. The Deshun army's city was thicker, but Xi'an surrendered without a fight. The soldiers and horses led by Li Qianshun advanced faster. The conditions of the Zhenrong army's city  It was worse, but Huaide's army held on for more than ten days, allowing them to reinforce the city. However, the Zhenrong army had been besieged for twenty days. Fortunately, the Xixia army was not good at attacking the city, which allowed them to persist until now."

    Chao Yong can also imagine the tragedy of holding on for twenty days.  He frowned and said, "Then which place should we save first?"

    Zhong Shidao had already considered this issue and said without hesitation: "The old minister thought that we should save the Zhenrong army first. Brother Chage of Xixia has been leading the army for more than 20 years, and Liu Fa was also defeated by him. General Liu could hold out for more than 20 days.  , It¡¯s really rare. If we delay any longer, I¡¯m afraid the Zhenrong army will suffer a loss.¡±

    Chao Yong thought for a while.  He said: "The one who is besieging the Deshun Army is Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom. If the Deshun Army is rescued first, Brother Cha will probably divide his troops to support it. Is it possible that the man guarding the Deshun Army is the so-called Prime Minister?"

    Zhong Shidao shook his head and said: "With the national crisis at hand, I don't care about my personal gains and losses. If it is beneficial to the court and the people, it's okay to give up a little reputation. We have Shen Lei to help us, and it is not difficult to relieve the siege of the two cities and repel the Xixia people."  But it is difficult to completely wipe out the Xixia people. If they attack the Deshun army first, I am afraid that Li Qianshun will be defeated, but they can come back at any time, so I have an idea."

    The soldiers brought the map and everyone gathered around.

    Zhong Shidao pointed to the map and said: "We first clear the siege of the Zhenrong Army, and then we can cross the Liupan Mountain from Sanchuan Village and go around to the back of the Deshun Army. If we can capture or kill Li Qianshun, the Xixia soldiers and horses will  There will definitely be chaos. Li Qianshun's prince Li Renai is only thirteen years old at this time, and Jin Wang Chage has been in power for more than 20 years. There is no guarantee that civil strife will not occur. If everything goes well, we can create one.  There is no need to worry about Xixia¡¯s border invasion in more than ten years.¡±

    The Zhenrong Army was besieged for twenty days, but the Deshun Army had been besieged for one month.  Although the Deshun Army is still holding on, it is probably on the verge of collapse.  The army first rescued the Zhenrong Army, and then circled behind the Deshun Army to cut off the Xixia people's retreat.  The journey alone will take six or seven days, and I don't know how many days it will take to repel Chago's army.

    The choice of cultivator path undoubtedly puts the brother cultivators in the most dangerous place. The wily old cultivator would not have thought of this.

    Chao Yong saw Master Zhong¡¯s determined face, so he could only nod his head and said: "Okay, then we will send troops to rescue the Zhenrong Army tomorrow."

    Xu Guanzhong was also able to stay as a counselor. Hearing this, he said: "The army has traveled a long distance and the soldiers are probably exhausted. It is better to rest for a day before sending out troops. The army can exert stronger combat effectiveness."

    Chao Yong naturally knowsHe knew this, but Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue and the Western Army had made too many sacrifices, and he really couldn't say anything about rest.

    Zhongshidao shook his head and said: "No, the soldiers are really tired. Once they rest and relax, their bodies will suffer from various discomforts. Without ten days of rest, I'm afraid it won't get better. One vigorous effort will weaken again and the other will be exhausted, defeating the Xixia  The army can rest for several months, but it cannot rest now."

    Dong Ping nodded and said: "What Lao Zhongjinglue said is that the previous soldiers felt a lot of discomfort after a day's rest in Tokyo. Although the soldiers were tired, they could still persevere. It would be better to repel the Xixia soldiers and horses in one go."

    Hearing this, Xu Guanzhong also woke up. Although he had no battle experience, he had been traveling in the world for a long time.  After running for many days in a row, your muscles will become sore. If you relax again, you will feel even more uncomfortable. It is difficult to recover without a period of rest.  Although he is resourceful and resourceful, he has never led an army in a war, and his actual experience is not as good as that of a veteran on the battlefield.

    "The young man was negligent."

    Chao Yong also nodded and said: "Okay, then we will send out troops tomorrow."

    Master Zhong said: "The general thought that we should leave 20,000 troops and horses in Weizhou to take precautions. After all, the army's food and grass are all in Weizhou. If Li Qianshun defeated the Deshun army when we went to rescue the Zhenrong army, Weizhou could also block the Xixia army.  horse."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but look at the generals.

    Lu Zhishen said hurriedly: "The soldiers and horses under the Sa family have been resting for many days, and they are all howling with pain."

    Wu Song and Mu Hong also said: "My soldiers have also been resting in Tokyo for many days."

    Dong Ping saw something bad and said hurriedly: "Although my subordinates took Hebei, they didn't contribute much."

    Chao Yong looked at the map and said with a smile: "I think it's better to stay with the troops of General Lu and General Dong. Your troops are traveling the most and it's just a few days to rest. In this way, you don't have to stay in Weizhou and go to Wa."  Rest in Tingzhai. Then we can encircle Deshun's Xixia troops."

    Watting Village is an important place close to the Deshun Army in Weizhou.

    Lu Junyi and Dong Ping saw the prince's order and had no choice but to obey.
