The two sides met and had been in harmony with each other for a long time. They had even had head-on battles on the battlefield. After greetings, they became familiar with each other immediately. The atmosphere was very good, but because they could not trust each other, it was difficult to reach an agreement on the conditions proposed during the negotiation.

The Karochuan War has entered a critical moment. Although judging from the decision of Xingqing Prefecture, the Huli Lie Army is no longer limited to the seven-day attack time, because Li Anhui led his army to surrender, the situation in Karochuan suddenly deteriorated for the Xixia people, and there was almost no possibility of rescue. After Renduo advanced eastward and returned to Helan Mountain, Richard would have to change his decision. Once he retreated quickly to Hexi, the time left for the Huli Lie Army to conquer Karochuan would not be too long.

The problem now is that Li Hu must accept the other party’s surrender to avoid putting the army in the dilemma of fighting on both sides, and at the same time, he will take down Tong'an City as quickly as possible.

It was precisely because Li Anhui knew Li Hu's situation that he proposed a series of conditions that were more favorable to him. He was from a royal family, so he required to enjoy the treatment of a royal title. After the fall of the Great Xia Kingdom, he continued to own Helan Mountain as a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Ling, Xia area was originally the foundation of the Dangxiang people, and Li Anhui's condition was reasonable and reasonable. For example, the current Khitan king Yelu Mage is equivalent to a vassal state, and Yelu Mage was unwilling to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. He publicly stated that he only followed Li Hu's orders.

He has very strong independence. The conditions proposed by Li Anhui were a little lower than those of Yelu Mage. He surrendered to the Song Dynasty and was willing to become a vassal state in the Song Dynasty.

Li Hu was unwilling to agree.

The reason why the Khitans had a certain degree of independence was because Li Hu was trapped in Daibei at that time, and he needed the help of Yelu Mage and the Khitans. Yelu Mage and the Khitans did give him great help in recent years. The territory obtained by the Khitans today was exchanged for their lives and blood and sweat. The Khitans and the deserts had deep feuds with the Jurchens. The Khitans tried to rebuild the Daliao. They needed Li Hu, a powerful supporter, and Li Hu also needed them to defend Daibei for themselves to ensure the stability of the northern border and give the Tiger Lie Army a favorable situation in the northern border and sufficient time for unifying Zhongtu. This need for mutual interests firmly links the two together.

The Dangxiang people made the same request, and the consequences would be completely different. As long as the Dangxiang people were given time and territory, then a long time, ten, twenty or even thirty years later, the Dangxiang people would definitely rise again and become a huge hidden danger in Middle-earth. The sudden defeat of the Song Dynasty and the betrayal and splitting of the Dangxiang people were closely related to the 85th year of the war in Song Xia, and Li Hu did not dare to repeat the same mistakes no matter what.

However, time waits for no one, Li Hu must weigh the gains and losses, and make decisions.

At noon that day, Li Hu summoned Zhe Keqiu, Hou Gui, Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong and others to discuss this matter. Everyone thought it was difficult. If you agree, there will be endless troubles. If you don’t agree, the Karochuan War will be difficult to achieve the expected goals and will directly affect the Western Expedition.

Zhang Gaoer complained about this, "Since it's so troublesome, it's better to eat them in one bite."

Everyone remained silent. In the end, Li Hu had to make the decision on such a big thing. After all, the Xiang people in the north are large tribes and a large population. If they were given a chance to recuperate, they would sooner or later become a disaster in Middle-earth. If anyone had the idea to accept Li Anhui's conditions, once the Xiang people betrayed in the future, the blame would be great.

Zhu Xia supported Zhang Gao'er's suggestion. Li Anhui arrived at Dundun Mountain and scolded him. Hou quickly sent back the news. Zhu Xia was ready to fight. In his opinion, Li Anhui's troops were limited and he did not dare to approach Gai Zhucheng. Although it would pose a certain threat to the Tiger Lie Army, as long as the Tiger Lie Army sent a team of troops to intercept Qinshan, the main force quickly took down Tong'an City, and then immediately turned around to attack the reinforcement army. Now that the reinforcement army has surrendered, it seems to be good.

Things are actually very unfavorable to the entire battle situation.

"At present, we have no. After taking down Tong'an City, Li Anhui pulled the army to Shuibo City in the name of surrender. At this time, even if we accept Li Anhui's surrender conditions, we dare not send all the main force to attack Tong'an." Zhu Xia looked at Li Hu and said, "We have 30,000 enemies who have just surrendered, and we need to take out a certain number of troops to guard against them for betrayal. In this case, how can we fight Tong'an? Tong'an cannot take it down, and Brother Richard continues to send troops to aid. We are becoming more and more passive and lose all the opportunities. How can we encircle Helan Mountain?"

"I have reason to suspect that this is the treacherous plan of the Dangxiang people." Zhang Gao'er interjected sinisterly, "Li Anhui will not surrender, this battle is easy to fight, but there is only one priority and the initiative is still in our hands. Now that Li Anhui surrenders like this, we are subject to the 30,000 surrendered troops. Not only is the initiative lost, but the battle is not easy to fight."

Li Hu frowned and his face gradually became cold.

"We cannot take down Karochuan and cannot encircle Helan Mountain, so we will return in vain." Zhang Gao'er continued, "The most important thing at present is to capture Karochuan, but the Dangxiang people have to try every means to stop us from attacking Karochuan. If the Dangxiang people do so, it is because of this.

To set up a plan to deceptively surrender and delay, Lee Anhui's surrender is fake. If I don't tell me what the consequences are, I believe the Grand Marshal knows it too."

"Yes, Grand Marshal, who can prove that Li Anhui's words are true?" Yang Weizhong added without hesitation, "What we hear is Li Anhui's one-sided remarks, and I don't think it is credible. At this moment, when the Western Xia Dynasty is in its survival, Brother Richard will ignore the overall situation and launch a mutiny at the risk of the national destiny, and kill the front-line commander of the army thousands of miles away? Is he not afraid of forcing Li Anhui to rebel? Or forcing Li Anhui to surrender? So from the overall situation, this matter is simply unreliable. Li Anhui's surrender is very likely to be a counter-espionage plan."

Li Hu flatly decided to siege and kill Li Anhui and wipe out 30,000 surrendered troops. This not only cuts off future troubles, but also quickly mobilizes the main force to attack Tong'an City.

"Tomorrow night, sneak attack on the surrendered army camp."

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Hu, Zhe Keqiu, Yang Keshi and Li Anhui, plotted Ning Pingyan and Liang Yifeng negotiated again.

In principle, Li Hu agreed to Li Anhui's surrender clause

Then negotiate on specific details. This is a major progress in the negotiations. Li Anhui and the other two were slightly relieved, and the atmosphere of the talks became even better.

In the evening, Li Hu held a banquet and invited senior generals of the surrendered army in the temporary negotiation tent outside the city. While drunk, Li Hu made a series of promises and rewarded a large amount of gold, silver and silk on the spot. A group of surrendered army generals were uneasy, but at this point they felt that their lives were guaranteed.

After the banquet, Li Hu asked for negotiations overnight. The Huli Army was eager to conquer Tong'an City, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Li Anhui expressed his understanding, actively cooperated, and negotiated overnight. Because they established initial trust between them, Li Anhui no longer concealed Li Hu and informed him of Richard's defense strategy and a series of deployments. He knew very little about the mutiny, and Liang Yifeng received incomplete information on the front line of the Yellow River, so they didn't know what the decision and deployment of Xingqing Prefecture made after the mutiny.

When discussing the specific details, Li Anhui proposed that his army would not participate in the battle against Tong'an, nor would they participate in the battle against Helan Mountain. He was willing to take the army to Hexi to help Li Hu occupy the entire Hexi.

Li Hu pretended to think for a long time and agreed, "

Since you don’t want to attack Tong'an, I will adjust and deploy overnight.”

In the early morning of the fifteenth, Hou Guai, Yang Keshi, Zhe Kecun, and Yang Weizhong led his army to Shuibocheng and rushed to the Tong'an battlefield. The only troops guarding the surrendered army were Zhang Gaoer and Liu Ziyu. The departure of the main force of the Tiger Lie Army really made the Dangxiang people breathe a sigh of relief.

On the morning of the same day, Li Hu ordered to give money, silk, wine and meat to the surrendered army to reward 30,000 soldiers.

Li Hu's meaning was very obvious, and he asked Li Anhui to immediately inform the soldiers of the army of surrendering to the Song Dynasty. Although this would cause a certain degree of chaos and even some loyal soldiers wanted to rebel, Li Hu had no more time. He urgently needed to stabilize the surrendered army so as to free up more troops to attack Tong'an City. Li Anhui expressed his understanding and accepted Li Hu's request, and officially notified the entire army in the afternoon of the same day.

The chaos in the army is certain. Even if there is money, silk, wine and meat, it cannot quickly stabilize the morale of the army. However, under the deterrence of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army, even if someone intends to rebel, he has to wait for the opportunity.

At night, Lee Anhui, Mo Ning Pingyan and other generals were worried that someone would rebel or escape, and even more worried that Li Hu would go back on his word and take the opportunity.

Attack, he ordered his trusted subordinates to be on guard, be careful and ensure the safety of the army.

On the night of the 16th, the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army quietly returned and entered the combat position.

At the moment of Yin, Zhang Gao'er led the King of Hell Army, and Liu Ziyu led the Hedong Army and suddenly launched an attack on the Xia army.

Li Anhui, Mou Ning Pingyan, Liang Yifeng and others were all covered in clothes and dared not sleep. When they were in a panic, they suddenly heard the sound of shaking drums and killing sounds rising from all directions. They immediately knew that they had fallen into a trap. They were so angry that they cursed and hurriedly led their troops to fight.

At two o'clock in the morning, Yang Keshi, Hou Guai, and Zhe Kecun, and Yang Weizhong led his army to the 9th Army of Tiger Lieutenant in Hailasu, the 13th Army of Tiger Lieutenant in Luolan, the 16th Army of Tiger Lieutenant in Zhe Kecun, the 20th Army of Tiger Lieutenant in Han Shizhong, the 20th Army of Tiger Lieutenant in Wu, Yang Zhi's Jingyuan Army, Yang Ling's Huanqing Army, and Zhao Zhe's Qin Feng Army entered the Xia army camp from all directions.

The Xia army soldiers woke up in their sleep, and the barracks were in chaos. Their morale was already in chaos, and many people were considering escaping.

When it comes to the rebellion, when you see the opportunity, you run wildly without hesitation; more people are afraid, confused, and at a loss. They clearly surrender, why did the Tiger and Lieutenant Army still come to fight?

Li Anhui, Mo Ning Pingyan and others commanded their trusted subordinates to try their best to block the attack, but the Tiger and Lieutenant Army was several times more powerful than their own, and their power was like a fierce tiger, and their power was unstoppable. The Xia army not only had an absolute disadvantage in its military strength, but what was even more terrifying was that its morale was in chaos and its morale was sluggish. Under the sudden attack, they panicked and collapsed instantly.

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army rushed forward from all directions and encountered almost no resistance. The soldiers raised swords and guns together, and the infantry and cavalry attacked together, killing happily and blood flowed into a river.

The battle lasted only for more than an hour, and after dawn, the battle ended.
