After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

After a brief rest of three days in Yanzhou, Han took Li Shizhong and Dou Shunqing and set out again, heading for Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Western Xia.

There, Sima Junshi and other envoys from the Song Dynasty were preparing to welcome them, as well as the Dangxiang people of Western Xia who were still unaware that the end of the world was coming.

In mid-March, Han Ming and his party arrived at Xingqing Prefecture. After seven years, Han was deeply moved when he saw this majestic city standing tall in the northwest again.

"After going around in circles, we finally have to start a new era here!"

After entering Xingqing Prefecture, several people were arranged to stay in the inn run by the "assassin" of the Song Dynasty.

The news that Han had arrived in Xingqing Prefecture also reached Sima Junshi, who was packing his bags and preparing to retreat.

"The Marquis is here?!"

Sima Junshi and the others stared, feeling that they had heard incredible news.

"Yes, the Marquis asked you to be patient and wait until he completes his last mission here before we can all return home together."

The person who came to deliver the letter was a waiter from the inn. He handed Sima Junshi a letter and then slipped away.

"Oh my, that's great! It looks like the Marquis is going to use his honey trap himself!"

Sima Junshi was so happy that he said some shocking words with a smile.

When the Su brothers and the two Zhe brothers heard this, they were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"It's not that exaggerated. Although that Liang is not bad looking, there's no need for you to be so anxious..."

Su Zizhan muttered helplessly.

"Well, as the saying goes, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Since ancient times, heroes and beauties have always complemented each other."

"The Marquis is such a hero. Since he got married, his family has never added a concubine. One Liang is more than enough."

"..."

Hearing Sima Junshi talking about his own profound principles, Su Zizhan curled his lips and turned his head away, not wanting to listen.

"Sir, please take a look at the Marquis's letter and see if there is anything we can cooperate with."

Seeing that his brother was not happy to hear this, Su Ziyu quickly changed the subject.

"Ziyou is right. Let me take a look."

Sima Junshi stopped talking and flipped through Han's letter, his face froze.

Su Ziyu felt something was wrong, so he immediately stood up and walked to the other person's side. He leaned over to look, and his expression also changed.

"how?!"

Su Zizhan also looked at the two of them nervously.

"The Marquis wants Lord Sima to demonstrate the same decisiveness he showed during his first diplomatic mission to Western Xia and detain Li Bingchang!"

Su Ziyu swallowed and spoke with some difficulty.

“(⊙_⊙)?!”

"Σ(⊙▽⊙"a"

"(O_o)??"

Su Zizhan and the two brothers of the Zhe family stared at each other, thinking they had heard it wrong.

"boom!"

Sima Junshi slammed the letter on the table angrily, scaring the four people, who thought he was angry.

"My Lord, you are right. Now is the time for us to sacrifice our lives and serve our country with all our loyalty."

"Our ancestors said: Everyone has to die, but some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather, depending on how they are used."

"How can we give up our lofty goals just for the sake of a momentary survival?!"

"Let us all dedicate our lives to the well-being of the Song Dynasty!!!"

Good man, Sima Junshi was directly brainwashed by Han's words. After all, he had captured the emperor and prime minister of the Western Xia Palace alone, and his reputation was greatly boosted.

As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two. Sima Junshi’s idols are Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao!

The Marquis said that he is now on the road to making history, so he cannot be timid. In one word - do it!

The Su brothers and the Zhe brothers were shocked by these words. Of course, they were not enlightened, but they suddenly felt that Han's encouragement was really the right medicine for their condition.

Sima Junshi originally didn't love money or power, but only fame, and Han Ming was able to find the right method to make him risk his life to do some crazy things.

"Also, the Marquis has General Zundao personally escort Lord Sima in and out of the palace, and General Lizhi will be waiting with us outside the city gate."

Su Ziyu was the first to calm down. He stopped paying attention to Han's misleading words and looked directly at the subsequent arrangements.

"Are you planning to kidnap the Xixia Emperor and run away?"

Zhe Kexing suddenly had an idea and realized something.

"Then when do we take action?!" Zhe Kerou asked hurriedly with a serious expression.

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and began to think.

"We'll take action at the end of March. Once the war breaks out, Xixia will definitely summon us for a meeting. We should take advantage of this chaos to capture Li Bingchang!"

Sima Junshi recovered and had an idea.

The four of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

. . . . . .

On March 25th, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, led by Han Zhang and Guo Kui, offered sacrifices to heaven and swore an oath.

In the name of the fact that Xixia had refused to submit to the king for nearly a hundred years, had launched an attack on Song without authorization, plundered the people and land of Song Dynasty, and had killed the Song Dynasty envoys without authorization, the Western Expedition to "destroy Xia" was launched!

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked!

No one expected that the first to bar its fangs this time would be the Song Dynasty, which had been silent for several years.

The Song army was divided into five armies and marched westward simultaneously: the advance vassal army headed by Qingtang Tubo attacked Liangzhou Hezhuola and Nanjunsi in two routes.

With Wang Shao's Huizhou Army as the left wing, they went out of Roulang Mountain to attack Xishou Baotai Army Headquarters.

Using the Weizhou Legion led by the brothers Zhe Jishi and Zhe Jizu as a breakthrough point, they left Mingsha, went through Shankou, attacked Shunzhou, and surrounded the area south of Xingqing Prefecture.

With Zhong Yan and Yao Si as the main force of the central army, they set out from Yanzhou to attack the Xiangqing Army of Xiping Prefecture and wipe out this elite Western Xia force guarding the capital.

Finally, with the brothers Zhong Gu and Zhong Zhen as the right wing, they left Yanzhou, walked along the outer Great Wall, passed Tiemen Pass, crossed the uninhabited Baichi City, captured Huaizhou, and surrounded the east of Xingqing Prefecture.

In general, compared with the "Five-Way Attack on Xia during the Renzong Dynasty" seven years ago, this time the five armies included the vassal troops of Qing Tang.

This was also a military strategy that Han tried during the pre-Tang period - building a vassal army of foreign races.

On the other hand, it was to ensure that during the period of "destroying Xia", the Qingtang Tubo regime would not have the energy to move eastward to attack the border of the Song Dynasty.

Facts have proved that after learning the news that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty had launched a full-scale war, Xiling Jiemu (a princess of the Liao Dynasty) in Qingtang Tubo changed her expression.

After communicating with the staff who came with her from the Liao Kingdom, she realized that the current situation was not something that she, a princess married into a foreign marriage, could resolve.

"Your Highness, the only nation capable of intervening in this war is the Liao. Unfortunately, the Liao has never recovered from the Battle of Pingxingguan."

"In this Song-Xia war, I'm afraid Western Xia is not far from defeat!"

The aide's words made Xiling Jiemu rub his temples continuously, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Then my husband, can't you see the threat that the Song Dynasty will face after the demise of Western Xia?!"

"The Prince Consort is not an ordinary person. I think he should have noticed this."

"But Your Highness must know that since Zuo Siluo's death, his three sons have established their own armies."

"As the third son, if the Prince Consort wants to take over the entire Qing Tang regime, he must rely on the support of the Song Dynasty to defeat his two elder brothers!"

The staff's words made Xiling Jiemu's body stiffen, and then he collapsed limply in the chair.

"Is this another conflict of interests? Why is it like this again?"

The staff member kneeling on the side did not respond, but just kept his head down in silence.

"Is it true that my royal brother is unable to stop the Song army from advancing westward?"

When the middle-aged staff heard Her Royal Highness the Princess asking about Yelu Hongji, his face was filled with bitter smiles and helplessness.

"There's nothing we can do. Now, various forces in the country are ready to make a move. They don't want to make life easy for Your Majesty!"

"boom!"

Xiling Jiemu smashed his teacup, his face grim. "Can't those stupid guys see the truth that the lips and teeth are cold?!"

"It doesn't matter whether you can see it clearly or not. In the end, it's all about profit!"

The middle-aged aide's deep voice made the princess hold her breath, and then her shoulders trembled slightly, and she couldn't stop laughing.

"Western Xia is finished... Qing Tang is next... Liao will not have an easy time either..."

"Fight as long as they can...When everything is lost, they will stop fighting..."

Seeing that his mind was not in the same mood as Xiling Jiemu, the middle-aged staff sighed silently...
