Zhao Qiong used a letter from Yelu Yuxi to surrender Yelu Mawu. He easily captured Shiling Pass. At this moment, Li Gang led his troops into Taiyuan and issued an order to let Prince Yan go to Beijing to take office immediately. However, Zhao Qiong did not stop and drove his troops to Xinzhou City. He led the dragon general of the loyal and brave army, the lion general and the guard brigade first, crossed Shiling Pass and rushed fifty miles overnight. In the early morning, Xinzhou was in sight, and the reconnaissance came to report that the main force of the Jin army lined up in the north of the city to block the Song army's front.

At that time, in Xinzhou City, in addition to Yin Shuke, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Saili and Tuhesu, four teams with less than 10,000 people totaled about 30,000, all of which were cavalry. The Jin army took the Tiefutu of Wanyan Saili as the front army, and Wanyan Loushi and Yin Shuke as the left and right wings to cover the flank of the Sili, and also used Wanyan Jamu's troops from the central army as the reserve team to launch a head-on confrontation under Xinzhou City!

The Liao army stood up from the city, with no worries on the back, and was on the defensive. In addition, the Jin army's formation was innately advantageous for the frontal attack. The Loyal and Brave Army had only six brigades on the battlefield at this time. The situation was not beneficial to Zhao Qi, but their weapons were sharp. The Jin army had not won a single time in the frontal battle, so Zhao Qi decisively made a power strike.

The dragon general took the lead in launching a formation to launch an attack. The lion general and the dragon cavalry protected the two wings. The Jin army also sent the Tiefutu to counterattack. Because the Zhongyong Army marched all the way, it left the heavy troops far behind. The only ones that could provide them with firepower support were fifteen light cavalry artillery and twelve wheeled vehicles. This could be said to be a head-on cavalry hedge.

The Jin army wanted to severely damage the Zhongyong Army with superior troops, but things went against their wishes. The Tiefutu in Seri was once again placed under the long cavalry of the Dragon General, and the front army that penetrated the Jin army went straight into the central army Wanyan Loushi and Yin Shuke immediately stepped forward to launch a strong attack from both wings to surround the Long General and the Lion General immediately came forward to start a melee. The two sides were mixed together.

When the two armies were in a stalemate, Wanyan Jiemu led the reserve team out of the city to reinforce. In order to ensure the safety of the dragon general, Zhao Jie immediately led the guard brigade to fight. During the counterattack, not only defeated the Jin army reserve team and ensured the safety of the front, but also killed the Jin army general Wanyan Jiemu. The general of the Jin army was killed. The entire army was frustrated and the defeat was already revealed. At this time, Yeli and Zhengchuan led 20,000 cavalry to arrive. Zong Han did not dare to fight again and retreated from Xinzhou City to retreat north.

Zhao Xiao led the Lion General and Ye Li to pursue him. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xiao led 5,000 light cavalry to seize the Xinkou Village in front of him, cut off the retreat route of the Jin army. After waiting for the Dragon General to replenish weapons and ammunition, he immediately followed up. Zhou Dajun led 20,000 infantry to arrive to guard Xinzhou City. Zhao Xiao led his troops to pursue him again and sent someone to contact Xu Hong to transport food and grass quickly.

The Jin army retreated very quickly, and they fled after a little fight and did not get entangled with the Song army at all. The lion general had been freed from his contact with him several times. At this time, the Zhengchuan army, which was carrying out the encirclement mission, became head-on intercepting. Although the Jin army retreated voluntarily, the form it faced was still very dangerous. After that, there were pursuers from the Song army, and some people blocked the front and back attacks.

When the Jin army took the Xinchuan River to retreat to Daizhou again and again, the Zhengchuan army, which had no time to surround Xinkou Village, could only fight again. Although the Zhengchuan army blocked across the river, it was still gradually repelled by the Jin army, which was forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

Although Zhengchuan failed to complete the task of circumventing and blocking the enemy Xinkou Village, the Jin army paid a considerable price, and delayed the Jin army's retreat, and bought time for the pursuing troops. When the Jin army finally captured the ferry, the lion generals who followed all the way caught up with the Jin army's guards. After the lion general bit the Jin army for a while, Yeli's troops also rushed up.

With the withdrawal of the Masahiro tribe, the Lion General and the Nori Army successively invested, and the situation changed. The Jin army, who had just driven away the Masahiro tribe, was rushed into the river by the Lion General and Nori Army. At this time, the Lion General also quietly turned into the auxiliary attack. They were too tired and experienced a series of battles. After pursuing, they fought alone with the Jin army, which had already failed to support them, so they gave the main attack mission to the Nori Army.

After turning into the mountain to fight, Yeli's troops did not participate in the battle as a reserve force. They were originally a powerful brigade who was good at fighting. At this moment, they were in high spirits and finally waited for the opportunity. They drove the Jin army across the river. After getting ashore, they chased and fought in Daizhou. Nakanori led the way. His horse was replaced many times because of the arrows. Finally, they chased the main force of the Jin army and entered the central army. It was not until the Jin army in Daizhou rushed to support. It was dark, Yeli withdrew from the battle and retreated to the south of Xinchuan River.

After three days and three nights of pursuit, Song and Jin fought for Xinzhou City for the first time, and the second battle with Xinchuanshui. Finally, the Hezhong Army defeated the Jin army, beheaded 15,000, and killed ten generals from the Jin army commander Wanyan Jiemu and ended successfully. Such a fruitful result was enough to shock the whole country. It was the first time that the Jin army suffered such a great loss in the battle against Song. Seeing the Hezhong Army flag, he dared not fight again, and fled in the wind!

Just when everyone was waiting for the prince to arrive and prepare to enter Daizhou to expel the Jin army from Hedong, they waited for the order to withdraw the troops and the imperial guards to guard the defense...

After Zhao Qi seized Xinzhou, he was preparing to mobilize food and grass to use it as a base to fight with the Jin army to regain Daizhou. When the court learned that he had violated the order, he led his troops north and issued an edict to return to Beijing for office for 800 miles, and disbanded the volunteers. Zhao Qi was still ignored by the imperial guards. He fought again in Xinchuanshui and pursued the Jin army. He had received the imperial edict and Zhe Keqiu and Zhang Sizheng's troops were ordered to go out of Taiyuan and were prepared to pass through Shiling Pass and forced to accept it, but was blocked by the wolf brigade.

Zhe Keqiu knew the combat effectiveness of the Zhongyong Army and did not dare to force himself to advance. He stationed troops at the gate and sent people to report to the capital. The subsequent Liu Li's army was not aware of its strength and was ready to pass the war. When he learned that both sides were going to use force, Li Gang hurried to stop it, but Liu Li showed it with an imperial edict, and Li Gang had no choice but to ask for a single cavalry to pass the imperial guards in the name of the Hedong Xuanfu Envoy to persuade the prince to withdraw his troops.

When Li Gang arrived in Xinzhou, Zhao Qi was ready to go out to Xinzhou to attack Daizhou. Li Gang advised the prince to slow down and let the imperial guards pass the pass first. He then explained the situation to the emperor. The two armies sent troops to replace the prefecture and agreed to Zhao Qi. He asked the emperor to let the imperial guards pass the pass. He prepared to join forces to attack Daizhou and expel the Jin army from Hedong.

But three days later, the imperial edict in the court rejected Li Gang's suggestion and appointed Zhao Qi as the magistrate of the Privy Council, asking him to go to Beijing immediately to serve, and the matter of attacking and replacing the state was handed over to the imperial guards to carry out the order. The decree and words were jiliè, revealing murderous intentions. At this moment, the Intelligence Department sent an urgent report saying: Empress Zhu knew that Princess Yan was proficient in poetry and songs, and invited her to the palace, but was left in the palace

At this time, more than 200,000 imperial guards all passed the pass and went to Xinzhou, trapping the Hezhong army at the city. Li Gang made a memorial again, and was rejected several times, but there was no way. Zhao Qi sighed: "The scholar was ruining the country, and I failed!" He ordered the withdrawal of the troops!
