As long as he ensures that his concubine son and daughter-in-law are not bullied, it doesn't take much trouble.

When Zhang Shanfu heard the words, he immediately smiled, coughed for a while, and called the guard commander again:

"From now on, you all will follow Uncle Zhongjing, just like serving me."

The commander of the personal guards was immediately overjoyed when he heard the words, he thought that the personal guards would be disbanded after Zhang Shanfu was captured.

His greatest hope is to get rid of the crime of dereliction of duty, get some credit, and maybe even get a half-job in the court.

Unexpectedly, he was directly entrusted to Cao Bin by Zhang Shanfu.

That way, you don't have to worry about your future.

For Cao Bin, this was also a surprise.

These guards are good. Zhang Shanfu was defeated several times, and they were able to protect his safety, which is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Cao Bin felt a little better.

As for Zhang Shanfu's wife and daughter, he has absolutely no idea...

Seeing that Zhang Shanfu was no longer acting like a monster, Cao Bin waved his hands and said:

"Okay, let the army prepare, we will immediately raise troops to rescue Lingzhou."

Lingzhou was trapped, which was related to their retreat, so they had to be in a hurry.

The next day, the Xixia monarchs and ministers were relieved when they saw that the Song army had begun to set up their camps.

Empress Dowager Wuzang looked at Xiang Yun beside her and said:

"See, Cao Bin doesn't care about you at all."

"Women, you have to rely on yourself, you can't depend on men!"

"From now on, you will be in charge of a guard army for this palace!"

Xiangyun's eyes flashed, he nodded and said:

"Xiangyun obeys the queen mother's arrangement."

Although she doesn't know how to go undercover, she also hopes to help Cao Bin, so when she received the letter from Shi Qian, she immediately expressed her willingness to stay in Xixia.

With the trump card of the king of Xixia, coupled with the cooperation of Wuyi Jieshan, it is entirely possible for them to control Xixia.

If Cao Bin can't get along in Song Dynasty, this is the way out.

Hearing Bui Yi Xiangyun's answer, the Empress Dowager Mei Zang was secretly delighted.

Seeing the direction in which Cao Bin left, she suddenly felt a little warmer. I am afraid of danger if I keep this kind of talent to myself?

Thinking of this, she felt a little bit sad...

Four or five days later, when Cao Bin and others rushed back to Lingzhou, the Liao army had already retreated.

Although everyone was surprised, they also reacted.

The Liao army on the North Road has been completely wiped out. Even if the Liao army that cuts off the back road annihilates the Song army, it will suffer heavy losses, and it will only be cheaper for the Xixia people.

Therefore, they got the news and immediately withdrew to the Liao Kingdom.

Liu Niang of the Yang family also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Madam She and the others come back.

In order to cut off the escape route of Cao Bin and others, the Liao people attacked desperately these days.

She had more than 1 horses and more than 7000 casualties.

If Cao Bin and others do not return to the army, she will have no way to persist.

Now that the Liao army took the initiative to retreat, even Cao Bin was relieved.

After repeated battles, the Song army hurried back to Lingzhou. The soldiers were exhausted.

If he fought the Liao army to the death again, it would be difficult to predict the outcome.

"Return to Xiazhou tomorrow."

Although the dispatch of troops this time did not completely wipe out Xixia, the Great Song Dynasty occupied the four Dingnan prefectures on the Hengshan line.

Not for nothing.

From now on, the Song Xia situation will be reversed, as long as they occupy the Hengshan mountain area.

The Song Dynasty not only has one more place suitable for raising horses, but also can take the initiative under the situation.

Even if Xixia restores its military strength, it will be difficult to pose too much threat to Song Dynasty...

More than four months have passed since the start of the Western Xia War.

At this time, the city of Bianjing was covered with dark clouds, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Because the East Route Army of the Liao Kingdom abandoned Waqiao Pass and used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to capture Dingzhou City in one fell swoop.

Dingzhou is an important town in Hebei and has always been in charge of northern defense matters.

Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for the Liao army to break through. I didn't expect to be directly stabbed in the heart this time.

Even Emperor Liao didn't expect that the main force hadn't sent back the news, but the partial division had achieved unexpected results.

So taking advantage of Empress Dowager Xiao's serious illness, she once again poured out all her power to mobilize one hundred thousand troops, and went south from Youzhou to Song Dynasty.

Above the main hall, the emperor's face was pale.

The Hebei Imperial Army totaled no more than 8 people, and only [-] to [-] were stationed in Dingzhou. I didn't expect to be captured by the Liao people so easily.

He can't wait to pull out the Dingzhou guard who has died for his country and whip his corpse.

Pan Renmei hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead [-] troops to rescue Zhenzhou and resist the Liao army."

The emperor's air way:

"Where are there [-] soldiers and horses? Don't you want to spare the capital?"

At this moment, a Czech report suddenly came from Shaanxi:

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

"Our Xia army defeated the North Route Army of the Liao Kingdom, beheaded the Liao general Xiao Puda, and is returning to Yanzhou."

When the ministers heard this, they were overjoyed, and the emperor suddenly got up and said:

"What did you say? Okay, okay, Cao Bin and the Yang family finally lived up to my expectations..."

No one thought that Faxia's army, which had already fallen into death, survived death and retreated completely.

In this way, the court's military strength is not so stretched.

Fu Bi said:

"Officials, since there are no worries in the northwest, we can mobilize troops and horses from the three roads of Jingxi, Jingji, and Jingdong, and Taishi Pan will lead the rescue..."

After Cao Bin and others returned to Yanzhou with an army of about [-], they received a document from the imperial court urging them to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

So he handed over the army to Zhong Shiheng, and he brought Erlang, Sanlang, and the daughter of the Yang family to Beijing in light clothes.

The reason why Zhong Shiheng brought the children of the Zhong family was because he wanted to use this credit to let them go to Beijing to find a job.

Moreover, Cao Bin also attaches great importance to the breeders, and intends to win over and support them, and it just hits it off, and the hatchback is convenient.

The Zhong family has a large number of talents, and these two were trained by Zhong Shiheng since childhood, and their military strategy is particularly outstanding.

It happened to be able to help Cao Bin lead troops and make up for the shortcomings of his military strategy.

"Uncle, what official do you think the imperial court will seal us up?"

Zhong Saburo asked quite expectantly.

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Your family has contributed a lot to this conquest of Xixia, and maybe you can get a title."

Zhong Saburo suddenly became pleasantly surprised and said:

"really?"

Cao Bin was about to nod, but the third mother of the Yang family poured cold water on him and said:

"Boy Zhong, don't be too happy."

"Cao Bin is comforting you, why is it so easy to get the title?"

"Besides, I've been defeated in the end. I'm afraid I will be criticized after returning to the court!"

Speaking of this, some worries appeared on the faces of the female generals of the Yang family.

Cao Bin was a little speechless, the Yang family was overly sensitive by the court.

Although this expedition did not wipe out Xixia, the harvest was not small, and it even reached the capital of Xixia.

Wouldn't it be chilling if the imperial court didn't even reward such meritorious service?

At this time, Liang Ji, the eunuch in charge of the Yan Yan army, laughed:

"You generals don't have to worry, the matter of repaying the merits is left to the Sajia. I don't think anyone will die. Dare to question my credit!"

As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch Huanqing Army Supervisor and said:

"Old Wang, do you think so?"

Ever since meeting with Cao Bin, Eunuch Wang has almost obeyed and never expressed his opinion. General Yang's family almost forgot his existence.

When Eunuch Wang saw that everyone was looking over, he smiled complacently and said:

"Other Sajia can't guarantee it, but our credit will never be discounted!"

Tong Guan originally had some conflicts with the Zhong family, but after meeting Cao Bin, he saw that he attached great importance to the Zhong family, so he immediately changed his attitude.

Unexpectedly, after the contact, he and Zhong Jia Erlang had a lot in common, so the two became close friends.

Originally, he was talking about the art of war with Zhong Erlang, when he heard the words of the third mother of the Yang family, his eyes suddenly burst into evil spirits and said:

"Whoever dares to deny our credit, the Sa family killed him..."

He is waiting for military merits to atone for his crimes. With such great achievements, apart from atonement, he may also have a chance to be promoted.

If anyone troubles him with his military achievements, he is his sworn enemy.

Seeing the murderous looks of the three eunuchs, the female general of the Yang family couldn't help but look at each other.

They used to lead troops, and their relationship with the supervising eunuchs has never been very good.

But they can largely determine the general's military exploits.

So when they repaid their merits in the past, they were always made things difficult for them. Originally, they made great contributions, but when they came to the court, they felt wronged.

Only by alarming upright officials such as Kou Zhun and Bao Zheng, will they have a chance to defend themselves.

I have never met such a eunuch who actively helps to repay his merits...

Seeing their surprised looks, Cao Bin was a little bit disgusted.

They never knew these eunuchs.

If it weren't for the fact that the credit was enough this time, several eunuchs would even falsely report some of the credit.

After the Hedong Army led by Tong Guan ran out of food, he had the idea of ​​killing "Liang" and pretending to be meritorious.

This "good" is the common people of Xixia.

He didn't implement it because he got on the boat of Cao Bin.

Although the vicious expressions of these three eunuchs made people feel a little uncomfortable, the female general of the Yang family suddenly felt particularly refreshed.

They discovered that when fighting with Cao Bin, regardless of whether he is doing well or not, there is no need to worry about all the external affairs, and it must be smooth sailing.

They just have to fight with their heart, and the working environment is very comfortable.

Just like the eunuch Wang, the supervisor of the Huanqing Army, when he didn't join Cao Bin, he still wanted to point fingers.

But as soon as he saw Cao Bin, he immediately changed his attitude, obeyed his words, never interrupted, and acted like a transparent person.

I don't know how Cao Bin did it.

In fact, how did they know that this matter did not need Cao Bin to come forward, Tong Guan and Liang Ji took care of the eunuch Wang.
