Guo Hao was very excited and bowed deeply before leaving.

He took less than two steps and turned back to ask, "General, when will we send out the troops?"

"I will set out tomorrow morning!" Wu Jie responded coldly. "You lead your army on your own and go on a journey alone. When you set out is none of my business!"

Guo Hao was not angry but happy when he was mocked. He bowed hurriedly and left.

After Guo Hao left, Wu Gong also went to pass on orders and do things, while Wu Jie looked up at the sky for a long time before returning to his room and writing a memorial by hand. After finishing it, he considered it again and again before sealing the box and sending it away, but fell asleep again, only telling his eldest son to call him back in the morning when everything was ready and the army was about to set out.

Just as Wu Jie fell asleep again, Yue Fei was awakened in the official residence of Xingqing Prefecture, hundreds of miles away. "Have the Xixia people arrived in Lingzhou on the other side of the river?"

"No." Yue Fei's personal officer Bi Jin said respectfully. "It was reported by the foreign tribes outside the Helan Mountains... The Khitans numbered tens of thousands, with countless war horses and camels. The marching formation was scattered and stretched for dozens of miles. They passed through the outside of the Helan Mountains from yesterday afternoon to evening without stopping for a moment, regardless of the soldiers falling behind and the livestock dying, and went all the way north until midnight when they rested... The foreign people saw it and reported the news to Deputy Governor Li, who asked the governor to give instructions."

"I didn't give him instructions, only to you." Yue Fei narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then calmly gave the order. "Record this matter clearly and send it to the imperial court immediately! Then send an order to Wang De, and ask him to go to the Xishou Baotai Army Division and the Jingsai Army Division to try to persuade them to surrender, and investigate the beginning and end of the battle in Hexi... That's all."

After saying this, the man fell directly onto the couch and fell asleep in a moment.

Bi Jin was stunned, but after a moment, he could only whisper "I understand the order" and then step back.

"The Xixia people said so?" Thousands of miles away, on the east side of the Yellow River, in the real Hedong area, the Jin Wei Wang Wushu, who had marched hard to Shizhou opposite the Jinning Army and Suide Army, was also called out of the tent and was also stunned. "Yue Fei reached some gorge in the heart of Xixia seven or eight days ago?"

"Yes." Wen Dunsizhong bowed his head respectfully.

"Is the road from that gorge to the capital of Xixia smooth?"

"yes."

"How far?"

"About less than two hundred miles?"

Wanyan Wushu was stunned for a long time before he said, "I was deceived twice by the Zhao Song emperor? Or was Yelu Dashi also deceived by him?"

Wen Dunsizhong bowed his head and said nothing.

At this time, another person opened the tent and walked in. It was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, Wanyan Balisu. When he entered and saw the appearance of Wuzhu and Wendun Sizhong, he knew that the other party had already known the military situation, so he simply frowned and stood solemnly.

"The five Wanhu we brought... one Wanhu will be given to Sali, and he will continue to cross the river from the front to Suide Army... The only mission is to control the ferry and the passage, and make sure to receive the entire army from here." After an unknown amount of silence, when the morning light outside was already a little bright, Wushu gritted his teeth and said, "The remaining four Wanhu, don't stop, cook immediately, go upstream, and seize the rear trap!"

This time, not to mention Wen Dunsizhong was shocked, even Balisu frowned for a moment, but the latter soon raised his brows and suddenly realized.

"After what happened seven or eight days ago, the Dangxiang people's confidant Xingling is no longer safe. By then, the Song army will defend the river, and the Xixia people will collapse without a fight!" Wuzhu didn't know that Bali had woken up quickly, so he looked at him seriously, but his face was ferocious. "It's not too late to help them defend Hengshan now. Houtao is a strategically located place. It is high above, controls the grassland in the north, and suppresses the old Xixia territory in the south. It is also to the north of the Yellow River. It can easily send troops from Xijing and Taiyuan to travel back and forth. It is also a barrier between these two places! At this time, how can we go to Hengshan and abandon Houtao?! Of course, we should send all our troops to fight for Houtao!"

Balisu bowed and replied solemnly: "King Wei, please understand! I also think the same way!"

Just like this, early in the morning of April 14, Wu Jie left Hongzhou, Guo Hao left Longzhou, Yang Zheng left Yanzhou, Wu Lin left Yan'an, Han Shizhong left Yan'an, Wanyan Sali shouted out the Suide Army, Wanyan Wushu and Balisu led four Wanhu and hurried north to attack Houtao. Even Yelu Dashi's vanguard Xiao Worila set off early in the morning, regardless of the hardship, and quickly headed north from the foot of the Helan Mountains to Houtao.

At the same time, Weiming Chage, regardless of everything, divided into three groups and rushed to the west of the capital to rescue the emperor.

At this time, on the entire battlefield, north of Fuzhou, almost everyone was out in full force and marching forward with all their might. Only Yue Fei's troops, who were in the center of the vortex, were guarding the cities on the Yinchuan Plain and still doing the boring act of using the Xixia national grain reserves to win people's hearts.

The contrast is huge.

Of course, the biggest contrast was made by Emperor Zhao. Far away in Tongzhou, he had not yet received Wu Jie's memorial, but he was so bored with the withdrawal of the Jin army that he started shooting crows and rabbits again.

"Your Majesty, a great shooter!"

In the morning, as Zhao Jiu shot another bird dead with one arrow, Zheng Zhichang immediately clapped his hands in response. "I was thinking yesterday that Your Majesty shot more than 70 rabbits and more than 30 crows in one day, which adds up to more than 100. No emperor in ancient and modern times can match your ability. You are simply the best archer in the world..."

In response, Emperor Zhao, who had something on his mind, naturally declined: "This is nothing... Wait two days, I will find two toads and shoot them for you to see."

Whether it was Zheng Zhichang or Lu Benzhong next to him, they all came to their senses at once and wanted to praise him together.

At this moment, Hu Yin, the transport envoy of the five routes in Guanxi, who had come to the side of Emperor Zhao for some reason, suddenly stood by and made a correction: "Emperor, that word is pronounced chu chu, not yu chu."

Zhao Jiu put down his bow, feeling momentarily disappointed.
