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

In the second year of Xining in the Song Dynasty and the end of April in the first year of Qiandao in the Western Xia Dynasty, the Song army captured Huai, Jing and Shun prefectures and arrived at the city of Xingqing Prefecture.

This time, it is no longer the battle to establish prestige as it was seven years ago, but a battle to annihilate the country that has entered the countdown.

Looking at the Song army with its neat military formation, waving flags and huge numbers of people under the city, the Xixia generals defending the city broke out in cold sweat and felt deeply powerless.

Seven years ago, the four most powerful military headquarters of Western Xia, namely Jingsai Military Headquarters, Jianing Military Headquarters, Xiangyou Military Headquarters and Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Headquarters, were uprooted by the Song army.

The main elite troops were basically killed or wounded in the Second Battle of Haoshuichuan. At that time, it could be said that every household in Western Xia had people in mourning, which could be said to have damaged the foundation of the Western Xia country.

During the seven years, Li Liangzuo and Mo Zang Epang spent most of their time fighting internal battles, which made the power of Western Xia decline day by day.

Having lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we still haven't recovered from the pain.

Although some troops were drawn from the remaining military headquarters to strengthen the defense around Xingqing Prefecture, it was still several levels behind the Song Dynasty, whose military strength was increasing rapidly with each passing day.

This time, I am afraid that the country will really be destroyed...

The general defending the city is a member of the Liang family, who was promoted in the past six months.

Since the Liang family's surrender to the Song Dynasty was a secret, he was not clear about the specific situation and always thought that the Liang family would be destroyed along with the Western Xia.

"Go tell the Prime Minister that the Song army is at the gates of the city!"

Liang Wenrang took a deep breath, waved his hand and asked his men to go and report. He himself felt a little dizzy and leaned against the city wall, smiling bitterly.

Soon, the news of the Song army's siege of the city spread to every corner of Xingqing Prefecture, and everyone was frightened speechless.

Panic and helplessness instantly filled everyone's heart, and soon condensed into a huge fear, hovering over Xingqing Prefecture.

Just when panic was spreading in Xingqing Prefecture, Liang Yimei, who was working diligently at the central government, received a message from Liang Wenrang.

Upon hearing that the Song army was approaching the city, all the officials in the government office were stunned, except for Liang Yimei, the prime minister, who remained calm.

"It seems that Daxia has reached its most dangerous moment. Everyone, please join me in comforting the people in the city first."

"Go tell General Liang that without the Prime Minister's orders and the palace's decree, no one is allowed to mobilize troops, send them out, or even open the city gates under any pretext!"

Liang Yimai's words made many officials in the government office frown, as if they felt there was something wrong.

After the order was issued, all court officials were dispatched, each doing their job and getting into the right state, determined to fight a good battle to defend the city with the Song army.

Little did they know that after sending everyone away, Liang Yimei sat back in his seat steadily, closed his eyes and raised his head to rest.

"Prime Minister!"

A subtle voice came from the darkness, but the figure could not be seen clearly.

"Are you all ready?"

Liang Yimai didn't open his eyes, but spoke in a gentle tone.

"Well, Wei Ming Langyu has returned to Xingqing Prefecture. What about my family..."

The person in the dark asked in a deep voice.

"They have been arranged by me in Shengwei City. Once you leave the city, never come back, and never let anyone know about your relationship with me!"

Liang Yimei still didn't open his eyes, and finished the conversation while seemingly taking a break.

"I understand. My family and I will leave Xixia and head to the Western Regions, never setting foot in the Central Plains again!"

The person in the dark also breathed a sigh of relief and answered decisively.

"I hope you can keep your promise today. Go, what happens next has nothing to do with you."

Liang Yimei waved his hand lightly, and the people in the dark quickly and quietly left the office.

"Weiming Langyu...Don't say I won't give you a chance. I'll give you the blame for the destruction of Xixia..."

Liang Yimei's sinister laughter echoed in the office for a long time.

. . . . . .

The Song army began to besiege the city in the afternoon. Seeing the sun setting, Guo Kui, who had rushed to the front line to take charge, immediately ordered the troops to set up camp and attack the city tomorrow.

Such an order made Zhong Yan and others a little confused. After all, taking Xingqing Prefecture in one go would avoid any further complications.

But Guo Kui is the commander-in-chief and he also knows Han's plan. He will definitely not say that we have an insider and there is no need to attack forcefully. We can only delay time as much as possible.

That night, Liang Yimei secretly sent an envoy to the Song army camp, and Guo Kui's personal soldiers brought him into the tent.

"My name is Liang Yibu, nice to meet General Guo!"

The person who came was Liang Yimai's son and Liang's nephew Liang Yibu.

"I never thought Prime Minister Liang would be so bold as to send his own son as an envoy!"

Guo Kui originally looked down upon the Liang family's behavior of selling out their masters for personal gain, but he still admired Liang Yimai's courage.

"Although my father is in Western Xia, his heart has always been with the Great Song. He also knows that the Great Song has always been based on benevolence and kindness, so he is not afraid of my suffering."

Liang Yi Bu took the opportunity to flatter Guo Kui and Da Song, which made the somewhat serious Guo Shuai sneer.

"He's quite a cunning man. No wonder Marquis Han wanted to give you some advice."

Guo Kui's calm words made Liang Yibu happy, and he quickly bowed and smiled.

"Oh, I'm truly honored that Marquis Han praised me so highly in person!"

Guo Kui and Liang Yibu had a brief chat and then got down to business.

Liang Yibu came as an envoy of the Liang family to present the city defense map of Xingqing Prefecture to the Song army commander Guo Kui, and to inform him of the deployment of troops and the location of food and grass reserves in the city.

They also agreed to open the city gates at midnight tonight and let the Song army enter the city!

Guo Kui was overjoyed. He never expected that Han's arrangements were so perfect and it would be so easy for him to enter Xingqing Prefecture.

Therefore, he immediately notified his generals to hold a military meeting and readjusted the strategic deployment based on the relevant intelligence.

Several generals who were originally sleeping with their clothes on were completely at a loss when they heard that Marshal Guo was not sleeping in the middle of the night and was going to hold a military meeting.

"No, why are you not sleeping at this late hour? Are you playing?!"

"I guess Coach Guo wants to fight a night battle?"

"Isn't that ridiculous?! Fighting a night attack on a city? You think you have too many soldiers and you have to lose a few to feel better?"

"Hey, you're such a jerk! Guo Shuai has his own ideas!"

"Tsk tsk, it would have been better if we had just attacked them a few times when we first besieged the city. Maybe we could have ended it in one go..."

"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. I think you're itching for trouble again!"

"..."

The crowd rushed to the commander's tent in a noisy manner. As soon as they entered, they saw Guo Kui and an unfamiliar handsome man pointing and talking in front of a city defense map.

"Here...here...and here, General Guo must take control first. Only then can the city be stabilized quickly and the Xixia army won't cause any more trouble."

"It seems that Prime Minister Liang's arrangements are indeed in place. Then I will take over without hesitation!"

"No, no, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, this is what I and the Liang family should do."

"Good good!"

Guo Kui laughed and saw the people behind him. He immediately asked them to sit down and then told them the whole story.

After hearing the entire layout designed by Mr. Han, I couldn't help but secretly click my tongue. This is really like a cow pulling a poop - it really opened my eyes!

For the first time, they felt that this battle was too easy, and it didn't feel as difficult as the second battle of Haoshuichuan with Zhang Yuan and Mo Zang Xiling.

Little do they know that due to the huge gap in national strength, coupled with the preemptive and accurate intelligence, there will be more and more crushing defeats in the future for the Song Dynasty, and this kind of war will be simpler and easier.

Guo Kui quickly assigned tasks to everyone, personally escorted Liang Yibu out of the camp, and then agreed on a secret signal to prepare for the final battle - breaking the city!

In Xingqing Prefecture, Wei Minglangyu, who had finally returned and contacted a group of old ministers and old Dangxiang nobles and was ready to take charge of affairs, was terrified when he heard that the Song army was besieging the city, but he had no idea what to do.

After all, the city defense and the palace defense are all controlled by the Liang family, and he has no say in them.

He tried to recruit the people in the city to serve as soldiers, but the people were in panic and difficult to organize.

Liang Wenrang, who was also informed of the specific situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly admired his master's ability to take sides.

He was actually able to hook up with the Marquis of Anyang in the Song Dynasty. Wouldn’t his future in the Song Dynasty take off?

Seeing unusual movements in the Song army camp on the top of the city wall, Liang Wenrang was secretly delighted and quickly ordered his personal guards to change their clothes, disguise themselves as civilians, and eliminate the soldiers guarding the city.

The battle to break the city - begins!
