After writing the last letter, Cha Ge, the great general of the Xixia royal family, finally felt completely relieved. He packed up his things, led an army of more than 20,000 troops coming from the direction of Xingqing Prefecture, and marched westward overnight. He gathered displaced officials and civilians along the way, preparing to join the army in Lingzhou and then retake Xingqing Prefecture.

Not to mention that Cha Ge was not a hero after all but a loyal royal general. Just say that he was determined to return to the west. However, six of the seven states of Hengshan who came to ask for reinforcements were in a state of complete collapse... They were here during the day and had already known the news of the fall of Xingqing Prefecture and the whereabouts of the king and his son. Their minds were blank at that time. At this time, they saw Cha Ge leading the main force westward overnight, leaving only a few thousand local troops temporarily transferred to guard Yanzhou. It was obvious that he intended to preserve the passage between Hengshan and Xingling areas, and they could not be easily dispatched. But how could they not know that Hengshan had no reinforcements at all?

The rear army of the Song Dynasty's imperial camp on the opposite side probably anticipated this situation and took advantage of it?

In desperation, the envoys turned back. There is no need to mention the envoys who were in Yanzhou, and the rest of the envoys who returned to the front lines. It was only said that the envoy of the temporary military commander sent by Youzhou Weiming Renli not only failed to ask for reinforcements, but instead received a military order. He had to travel west overnight to return to Youzhou, preparing to meet the military supervisor who was in charge at the time, Shu Wang Weiming Renli.

However, this man, accompanied by several soldiers and showing King Shu's silver military command badge, entered the city. Before he could report, he was shocked to find that Youzhou City had been in chaos early in the morning... There were soldiers and messengers like himself everywhere.

At first he thought that some fleeing officials had come here and reported the fall of Xingqing Prefecture, causing chaos.

However, after walking a few steps, he met a familiar military colleague and could not help but take the initiative to communicate with him. Then, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he was shocked on the spot.

It turned out that after the two sons of Xiazhou Governor Xiao Heda returned to Xiazhou, they took advantage of the opportunity when the local tribes and people were mobilized to contact and incite the local exiled Khitan tribes and many subordinates loyal to Xiao Heda. They took advantage of the opportunity when Wei Ming Yun Ge hurriedly returned to Longzhou because of an attack on the front line, and directly raised troops, claiming that their own father had been detained for no reason and they wanted to rescue their father.

The city is in turmoil now, and we must be on guard against the Xiazhou troops, because after the other side gathered thousands of people, they headed straight here. It is possible that they will engage in fighting outside the city tonight.

The messenger had no idea how he entered Weiming Renli's office. He just went in to greet him blankly, explained the situation, and then presented Cha Ge's military order... Poor Weiming Renli, a Confucian scholar from the royal family who has left his name in history, heard a thunderbolt the day before yesterday, another thunderbolt last night, and another thunderbolt early this morning. After summarizing the information, he was completely out of control.

That was not all. Perhaps because Xiao Heda had commanded the army in Xiazhou for nearly twenty years and had been in charge of the military for five or six years, he had a deep foundation. Before Renli could regain his senses, someone else took the initiative to ask for a meeting early in the morning, and it was actually to deliver a message for Xiao Heda who was under house arrest.

"Your Majesty (Weiming Renli is the Shu King of Western Xia)." The latter was a local coach in Youzhou, a mid-level military officer, and also a Lü Ze (mid-level tribal leader). He was someone the envoy knew, and this person was summoned, bowed his head, and then spoke earnestly. "General Heda said that his sons and subordinates were just dissatisfied with his imprisonment and made trouble for a while, and now the country is in danger. If he can be released, he is willing to come forward to appease his sons and subordinates, and then take them to the front line of Longzhou to support... In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

After hearing this, Weiming Renli felt his mind go blank and he remained silent for a long while.

After a while, the man was desperate and asked the envoy on the other side: "Ahua, what do you think we should do? The King of Jin asked me to take good care of Heda, and Heda and his son are in such a state, what should I do?"

The messenger named Ahua was speechless for a moment.

Firstly, he was born in a small tribe in Longzhou, and was in charge of horse breeding in the Youzhou branch of Feilongyuan. It was only because of the fighting in the front that there was no one available, so he temporarily served as an envoy in the military department. How could he know about such important military and national affairs?

Of course, under normal circumstances, he would be happy to curry favor with Wei Ming Renli, but what about now?

Secondly, since this coach came to pass on the message for Heda, he must be related to Heda... Of course, there are probably few people in the seven states of Hengshan who are not related to Heda. Even he, the head of Feilongyuan in Youzhou, has some connection with Heda's eldest son... But the problem is, how could His Royal Highness Prince Shu tell the other party about Cha Ge's military order regarding Heda?

Since the envoy was silent, the coach beside him was shocked and kowtowed on the ground in the office hall: "I was just a subordinate of Heda for many years. I happened to be on duty last night and was called by him to pass on a message. I didn't know that the King of Jin had a military order..."

Wei Ming Renli was slightly relieved to see that this man not only did not force him but instead took the initiative to give in. However, he was also extremely anxious, frightened and sad because of all the news, so he simply waved his hand to signal the man to go away.

The man stood up and left. The messenger looked at his back, but his heart suddenly started beating wildly.

There was no other reason. At this moment, the envoy just came to his senses and suddenly realized that the reason why the coach was so honest was because he did not know that Xingqing Prefecture had been captured by the Song people, nor did he know that the king and his son had lost news, and he did not even know that Weiming Cha Ge had led the main force to Lingzhou.

Otherwise, why would he be so frightened?

In fact, at this time, east of Youzhou City, only he and Shu Wang Weiming Renli in front of him knew this information... This was an advantage, but this advantage would probably be gone tomorrow, and he would have to become the Bi Ma Wen in the Song Dynasty drama, and he might not even be able to be the Bi Ma Wen.
