On May 14th, the imperial commander followed the army to Tanliang City. After personally inspecting the food and fodder in the city, the Zhao Guan family directly issued an order again, asking the Yue Fei tribe who had followed the Yelu Dashi tribe to control the Keyi Gate to open the door, and then

The Ningxia Road envoy Hu Hongxiu was temporarily appointed as the logistical support, and the entire army left the border and headed north.

At this time, everyone no longer had any doubts, knowing that the officials were going to lead these 100,000 people across the large valley, pass through the Keyi Gate, and escape behind.

On May 18th, the army marched forward to Hue Crossing, and the news from the front was completely intensive... It is said that both Yelu Dashi and Wanyan Wushu were caught off guard, and both sides were behind this good place where cattle and sheep could be seen due to the wind and grass.

A sudden encounter, coupled with a life-and-death hatred, there was no way to dodge and they were unwilling to hide anymore. However, they each occupied the castle and used field cavalry combat as the main method of combat. They had been fighting for more than half a month.

The latest result is that the Jurchens are not very good at fighting the Khitans, and the Yelu Dashi is gradually running out, possibly due to lack of food... The reason why Zhao Jiu set off so quickly is because as soon as he crossed the Yellow River, Yue Fei and Hu Hongxiu arrived

I received a document from Yelu Dashi asking for food... In short, whether it was due to lack of combat power or lack of food, Dashi finally had no choice but to retreat to Wu Lahai City, the fortress of Houtao, and control the Yinshan Passage and the Yellow River to avoid the danger.

However, the two of them were not idle during this period. Dashi and Wushu were almost like opponents in chess, each resorting to alienation tactics... Dashi tried to win over Yu Jian's old subordinate, Yelu Mawu, who was shocked by his military strength.

Ten thousand households, but Wushu also communicated constantly with the two major tribes of the Mongol and Wu tribes, the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe. Hebulehan of the Qiyan tribe was promised to be the king of the Mengwu, and to the Kelie tribe.

He sent gifts and other gifts to his troops, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask the small Mongol tribes who had surrendered to Dajin to come to the rear for reinforcements.

It was very lively for a while.

Of course, facts have proven that many things in this world depend on fists. Yelu Dashi is at a disadvantage, Yelu Mawu is not moving at all, but Huerza Husi, the leader of the Kele tribe, one of the two major Mongolian tribes, is obviously a little bit

A state of vacillation and repetition.

Although this military expedition aroused the confusion of many people, and some even said that the Zhao Guan family was just enjoying their success and wasting the Xixia national reserves in Tanliang City, but after hearing the news, Zhao Jiu was convinced that he had not let the worst happen.

situation arises.

On May 20th, the Song army crossed the fork of the Yellow River in Houtao. At this time, Zhao Jiucai and Yelu Dashi sent a letter. It was Lu Benzhong who wrote the letter, using Yue Fei's tone, with the utmost arrogance, claiming to lead an army of 100,000.

To come for reinforcements, ask Yelv Dashi to open the city and admit the king's troops.

After submitting the letter, the Song army ignored the message that Li Qianshun might have thrown down his trap after the battle and penetrated into the desert area on the south side of the Yellow River. They just continued to follow the outflow of the Yellow River, using the outer line of the Yellow River waterway as the logistics line.

They advanced by land and water and headed straight for Wu Lahai City, where the Yelv Rock was located.

By the way, only after arriving here did the Zhao Guan family realize that the Yellow River at this time actually bifurcated at Houtao, and that the northern route, at the foot of Jingyin Mountain and close to Wulahai City, was wider.

All I can say is that it does save some logistical trouble.
