    In Wei Sheng's army, Tian Hu had just rewarded the three armies.

    The night before, Tian Hu learned that the Daliang soldiers and horses had arrived thirty miles away, so he wanted to go out as soon as possible to repel the Daliang soldiers and horses.  But the soldiers and horses he relied on were the thousands of tough bandits he had roamed across the river east of the river for more than ten years. These tough bandits helped him repel countless encirclement and suppression campaigns by the Song army, and they had very strong combat effectiveness.  But before these ruthless bandits set out on an expedition, they must be well served with good food and wine, because they are all desperadoes, and no one knows whether it will be their last expedition, so they must be well served with good wine and good food before setting off.

    The military situation was urgent, so Tian Hu had no choice but to ask Tian Biao to urge Bian Xiang to lead the front army on the road, hoping to block Daliang soldiers and horses outside the city.

    After rewarding the three armies, Tian Hu had just ordered his troops and horses to prepare for departure when news came back that the former army had been attacked.

    Hearing that the front army of Daliang only numbered 10,000 people, and that Bian Xiang had 30,000 people under his command, Tian Hu did not send any reinforcements.

    But after the army had marched no more than two miles, Pegasus came and reported that the front army was defeated.

    Tian Hu hurriedly sent Ma Ling to lead a group of soldiers and horses to rescue the front army, and at the same time discussed with a group of people how to advance and retreat.

    The officials of the Jin State looked at each other in shock when they heard that the 30,000 former troops were defeated by Daliang's 10,000 former troops.

    "The defeat of 30,000 soldiers and horses to 10,000 soldiers and horses was a huge defeat, and such a quick retreat was beyond everyone's expectations."

    Seeing that no one answered, Tian Hu's face became darker and darker.

    Seeing Tian Hu¡¯s unkind expression, Shangshu Li Tianxi hurriedly said: ¡°Liang Guo¡¯s soldiers and horses are coming so fast, I thought it would be better to retreat to Wei Sheng first, find out more information about the former army, and then discuss how to resist Liang Guo¡¯s soldiers and horses.¡±,

    Privy Councilor Xue Shi also echoed: "Liang Guo's soldiers and horses are approaching fiercely, so it is better to avoid the sharp edge temporarily."

    Tian Hu frowned and said: "Liang Guo's soldiers and horses have gunpowder to break the city. Even if we enter the city, we have to fight them. Why not fight them outside the city."

    Li Tianxi said: "They can just blow through the city wall. They can only blow a gap out on the left and right. We only need to send troops to block the gap. If we are outside the city, we will engage in a full-scale battle. At that time, our soldiers and horses will only be able to block the gap."  The soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom cannot be held back."

    Previously, many people thought that Jin's troops and horses were twice as many as Liang's invading troops and that they could win with more. However, the former army's 30,000 troops were defeated by Liang's 10,000 troops, which forced them to take the Jin seriously.  The fighting power of soldiers and horses comes.

    Xue Shi also said: "The soldiers and horses of Daliang are coming so fast. Even if we want to camp outside the city, it is too late. It is better to retreat to the city. If we want to go to war, it will not affect us."

    Tian Hu had no choice but to nod and said: "Shang Shu said yes, then withdraw Wei Sheng."

    With the king's order, the army stopped advancing and the front team changed to the rear team.  The rear team turned into the front team and withdrew towards the city.

    The soldiers in Hedong couldn't help but talk about it.

    ??Besides, Ma Ling led his troops to rescue Bian Xiang. After walking for several miles, he saw that the troops in front were defeated like a wave, and more of them were fleeing to the east and west.

    Ma Ling hurriedly asked people to gather the soldiers and horses, and was about to step forward to stop the soldiers and horses of Daliang.  But I saw that the soldiers and horses of Daliang had gathered their troops.

    He only had 10,000 people under his command, so he did not dare to be careless, so he had to rein in his troops. Tian Biao, who was inquiring, had already died in the fire and thunder.  Quickly send someone to report Tian Hu.

    Tian Hu heard that Tian Biao had been killed in the battle and most of the front army had been routed. He didn't want to lose Ma Ling's troops anymore, so he hurriedly asked Ma Ling to lead the troops to retreat.

    Chao Yong led 40,000 troops including Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, and Wu Song ten miles away from the front army.  Hearing the battle between the former army and Hedong troops, they also sent a cavalry reinforcement.

    The army was in no hurry.  Ten miles is not a long journey, but if you rush it in a hurry, it will be enough to exhaust the strength of the army.

    Later, when he heard that Guan Sheng had defeated the soldiers and horses east of the river and was less than ten miles away from Weisheng City, Chao Yong ordered Guan Sheng to find a place to camp.

    When Chao Yong's army arrived at the place where Guan Sheng camped, it was already close to noon. July is the hottest time. To attack the city at noon, Tian Hu didn't need to send many troops, and his own troops would only lose half of their combat strength.

    When Tian Hu entered the city, he assigned 40,000 men to guard the four gates. At the same time, he hurriedly summoned all the officials in the city to discuss countermeasures.

    As soon as all the officials gathered, news came from Ma Ling that Tian Biao had been killed by fire and thunder.

    Tian Hu¡¯s expression changed, but he didn¡¯t say anything.

    Taiwei Fangxuedu observed his words and said: "The Liang Kingdom has powerful firearms and strong soldiers and horses. It only used 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Taishi. I think we can no longer fight."

    The second king, Tian Bao, waited for Fang Xuedu to ask: "If we don't continue the fight, will we be forced to surrender?"

    Fang Xuedu carefully looked at Tian Hu who was sitting on the dragon chair. Seeing that Tian Hu had no expression, he said: "Daliang has even destroyed Xixia, and has gained many elites from the Western Army. Its strength has far exceeded that of our Jin country."  and Wang ?Even if we add the Chu State in Jiangnan to the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the three of us can't defeat the Liang State.  "

    When Tian Bao heard this, he couldn't help but wait for Fang Xuedu to say: "You are talking nonsense and shaking the morale of the army. Liang's army only has more than a hundred thousand troops. If Jin can form an alliance with Chu and Song, how can we still be afraid of Liang?"  country?"

    Fang Xuedu shook his head and said: "Even if the three countries unite to resist Daliang, we don't have time to do this. What's more, Wang Qing has already been frightened by Liang Guo. When Daliang ordered troops in Tokyo, we  I sent someone to contact Wang Qing of Huaixi, but I haven't heard from Wang Qing yet. It can be seen that he doesn't dare to send troops to threaten the hinterland of Daliang. As for Tong Guan of Jiangnan, he was probably too scared to sleep at night when he heard that Daliang had destroyed Xixia.  "

    Fan Quan, the abbot of the state, said: "Liang Guo's soldiers and horses have already arrived at the city. Even if they dare to send troops to fight against Liang Guo, water far away cannot quench their thirst. We should discuss how to deal with Liang Guo's soldiers and horses now."

    Fang Xuedu said: "The Crown Prince of Liang has been invincible since he led the army, and he has elite soldiers and horses to destroy Xixia. I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain the victory. Even if it is preserved this time, it may be difficult to deal with the attack from behind Daliang. Shaanxi  Everyone knows the news. Now the Fan people in Shaanxi regard the Prince of Liang as a god and are willing to serve Daliang. A few days ago, there were 50,000 Xixia soldiers encircling Huanqing Road. But they didn't expect it.  Renzhong had already fled first, and they were a step behind. After Renzhong led his troops back to Xixia, they also surrendered to Daliang. The strength of these Fan soldiers and Xixia soldiers was far superior to that of the Song army, and they were all used by Liang.  At this time, it may be these Fan soldiers and Party soldiers who come next. In just a few attacks, they can wipe out all the troops in Hedong. According to my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the king still has the city and troops in hand.  Daliang negotiated peace."

    When Fang Xuedu said this, everyone in the palace nodded secretly and glanced at Tian Hu on the dragon throne.

    Tian Bao said: "The Liangshan bandits just killed my third brother, how can we negotiate peace with them? Furthermore, last time, we and Wang Qing asked Liang to demarcate the national boundary, and all the people sent were expelled by Liang. This time  Wouldn't it be a disgrace to send someone there? You want to surrender to the Liang Kingdom, but you come to harm our brothers."

    With that said, he pulled out the sword from his waist and was about to stab Fang Xuedu.

    "Stop."

    Tian Hu drank Tian Bao, sighed, and said: "A good man will not suffer the immediate losses, and he will keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Taiwei, tell me how we should negotiate peace with Liang Guo?"

    Fang Xuedu thought for a while and said: "Daliang has already arrived at the city. If we want to negotiate a peace, I am afraid that the king's throne will not be preserved. The lost city will certainly not be able to get back. I am afraid that some of the existing cities will have to be given away."

    Tian Hu frowned and said: "Without the city, how can we raise troops? Without troops and horses, will we be left to the disposal of Liang Guo in the future?"

    Tian Bao still resented the Liang soldiers for killing Tian Biao, and said: "In my opinion, we will fight to the death with Daliang. Our brothers have been crossing the river for more than ten years, and we have never been afraid of anyone. Even if we lose, we can still go north.  "It is better to surrender to the Liao Kingdom than to surrender to the Liangshan bandits."

    Fang Xuedu said: "The Liao Kingdom is already declining. I heard that it was defeated by the Jin Kingdom. I am afraid that it will soon be destroyed like the Xixia Kingdom. If we go to them, we will only live a few more days."

    Tian Bao said: "If the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, we will surrender to the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom can destroy the Liao Kingdom, it must have stronger troops. Then we can follow the Jin Kingdom to fight back."

    Everyone heard that Tian Bao immediately planned to switch to the two countries, and they felt shameless.

    Lu Bu has only changed his master three times, but he has been scolded as a domestic slave with three surnames for nearly a thousand years, and he will continue to be scolded as long as the Han people survive.  If they had chosen the Khitans first and then the Jurchens, their reputation would have surpassed that of Lu Bu, because they were all foreigners.

    Tian Hu felt that what Tian Biao said was a bit outrageous.

    Fang Xuedu said: "The Liao Kingdom has just been defeated by the Liang Kingdom and is busy dealing with the Jurchens. Even if we go to them, they may not dare to risk offending the Liang Kingdom and accept us. Maybe they will be defeated by them as soon as we go north.  Leave it to Liang Guo."

    Tian Bao said: "They want to resist Liang Guo, and we have soldiers and horses in our hands. How can they not accept it?"

    Shangshu Li Tianxi said: "After the Liao people occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, we Han people have always wanted to take them back. After the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, Liang had strong soldiers and horses, and they had just destroyed Xixia. It is impossible for the Liao to not worry that Daliang would send troops to take back Yanyun.  Sixteen States, how dare they give Daliang a reason to send troops at this time."

    Tian Bao said: "It is because Daliang is going to seize Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures sooner or later, so they want to take us in so that we can use us to resist Liang Guo."

    Fang Xuedu said: "I want to say something disrespectful. Whether the Liao Kingdom takes us in or not depends on whether we are of use value. When Daliang sent troops, except Xiangyuan, we withstood Daliang soldiers and horses for more than ten days. The rest were everywhere.  On the verge of collapse, the Liao Congress??Do we see it?  "

    Tian Bao was ready to fight to the end and asked: "Since we can't stop Liang Guo's troops, how can Liang Guo negotiate peace with us?"

    Fang Xuedu said: "Liang's soldiers and horses can defeat us, but if they want to defeat our country's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they will have to pay a high price. If they don't want to pay this price, they will naturally negotiate peace with us."

    Tian Bao wanted to say more, but Tian Hu had already taken action and said: "Then I'll trouble you to go to Liang's camp and see if Liang's prince is willing to negotiate peace." (To be continued)
