Chapter 36 Chapter Five

After the Xixia army defeated the Song army who came to rescue Yanzhou, they went all the way to the city of Yanzhou and surrounded the city of Yanzhou.But according to historical records, Li Yuanhao still failed to capture the empty city of Yanzhou in the end. Why? Yuan Hao wiped out the army of the Song Dynasty and was going to attack Yanzhou.At this time, Yanzhou is an empty city, and it is easy to take down.The only thing Old Master Fan could do was to go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense, pray to the gods and Buddhas to show their spirits, and send down the heavenly soldiers and generals to repel the Xixia soldiers.Not to mention, the old master's prayer has been fulfilled, and God has really manifested himself!It was snowing heavily and the road was difficult.As the saying goes, if you kill 10,000 people, you will lose 3,000. Although Yuan Hao won a big battle, he also lost a lot. Besides, he must have killed more than 3,000 people. How many people did General Guo Zun kill?Annihilating such a new force in the Song Dynasty, his soldiers were exhausted, and it was snowing heavily, making the road difficult.Yanzhou was the northwestern frontier fortress in the Song Dynasty. The city walls were thick and the moat was wide. Of course, it may have been frozen at this time.He didn't know that Yanzhou was an empty city, so he felt that it would not be able to take down for a while, and coupled with the lack of food and grass supplies... To sum up, Yuan Hao decided to withdraw his troops.Old Master Fan let out a sigh of relief and prayed to the true spirit that this matter can be done next time.

Sanchuankou was defeated, although Yanzhou was not lost, but Old Master Fan could not absolve himself of the blame, and the imperial court demoted him, so you should not mess around in the Northwest from now on.After this great battle, the Song Dynasty accepted Yuan Hao's strength and appointed two famous officials to assist Xia Song and preside over the military affairs in the Northwest.As soon as these two famous ministers took office, it was inevitable that a new war would break out with Yuan Hao.Who are the names of these two famous ministers?What about the new big battle?
