Yu Chong knew that military affairs were extremely risky. This time he sent troops to attack Weizhou. No one dared to guarantee that General Liang Yongneng of Xixia would definitely send troops to attack Huanqing Road.

Yu Chong still had a troubled look on his face.

After the meal, Yu Chong presented Zhang Gen with a thousand guan, saying that he was giving the money to the minister to run errands in the local area. In reality, the Privy Council had its own source of money for the minister, so Yu Chong gave Zhang Gen money in the name of letting him spend it on his own.

Yu Chong was still worried that Zhang Gen would not accept it, but the other party smiled and said, "I dare not refuse the gift given by the elder."

Seeing that Zhang Gen accepted it generously without any hesitation, Yu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately determined his intention to send troops to Weizhou.

The next day, Yu Chong led the Chinese army and baggage out of the fortress, leaving only more than 10,000 men to guard Huanzhou. He also transferred Zhao Long to Zhang Gen's command, and added a thousand elite soldiers to serve.

Yu Chong gave Zhang Gen and Zhang Gong two fine horses from Hexi, complete with brocade saddles and servants.

Zhang Gen saw Yu Chong's methods of winning over people and felt that power was a good thing.

At this time, Yu Chongde reported that Shen Kuo, Liu Changzuo, Zhong Shidao, Li Xian, and Wang Hou led the 70,000 troops on Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road who had regrouped and sent troops from Huluchuan Dazhai. They had already clashed with Xixia soldiers and horses.

Won two battles and wiped out more than a thousand enemies.

Even in Weizhou, good news came. Zhongjie, who was in charge of the Huanqing Road, conquered the two Xixia villages and surrounded the city of Weizhou.

At this time, twenty-two days had passed since Zhang Zhi entered Mingsha City.
