The grass is growing, the orioles are flying in February, the earth is getting warmer, and the willows are blowing along the embankments.

The Xia people's envoys arrived in Bianjing, accusing the Song Dynasty's border ministers of raising troops for no reason, invading Shimen Gorge, causing a big war, and plundering many Tibetan people in Yanbian. They demanded that the Song Dynasty compensate for the losses, restore the situation at the beginning of last year, and withdraw from Jiuyang

Wuzhai, demolished Pingxia City, and returned Liang Gewei and nearly 20,000 prisoners.

The Song court also sent envoys to question Liang Zuo in Yanzhou, why did he want to stir up border troubles and cause heavy losses to the soldiers and people of the Song Dynasty?

Su You almost burst out laughing. This incident was expected. Together with Xue Xiang and Cai Ting, he had already collected a large amount of evidence and magnified the incident to Shaanxi No. 4 Road.

First of all, this attack was initiated by the Xixia people in Huanqing.

Two dragon colts appeared in Weibei before. Su You, the governor of Weizhou, faced strong opposition from the people of Weizhou who were invaded by the Xixia people a year ago. They took the overall situation into consideration and endured the humiliation. They took the initiative to escape the tyranny of Xixia and defected to the Song Dynasty.

Return the horse. What do you Xixia want from us?

However, the Emperor of Xia was so greedy that he ordered 70,000 troops in Tiandu Mountain. Under this situation, Su Taishou had to organize local warriors to resist.

The hometown of Jiuyang and Wuzhai has always been the sacred and inviolable territory of the Song Dynasty. If you don't send soldiers and civilians to guard it, it doesn't mean that those places are yours!

Prefect Xiao Su likes to visit his old place again, what's bothering you? There's nothing wrong with him at all!

On the contrary, it was Lord Xia who regarded other people's things as his own and declared troops to fight for them, which led to this war.

Obviously, the purpose of this war is Weizhou, which has just become more prosperous. This is to forget one's righteousness and not be a son of man!

In this incident, even Long Ju abandoned him again, and the two teams saw it with their own eyes!

Isn’t it obvious who is just and who is unjust?

Seeing the excitement, Su You was not afraid of the seriousness of the matter. He also sent a Tibetan envoy to send a notice to the Tiandu Mountain Camp and the Baotai and Jingsai Second Military Divisions.

In order to improve the combat readiness level on the Shaanxi Road and train the soldiers' ability to cooperate in combat, we plan to hold a large-scale joint military exercise on February 2, the second year of Zhiping.

The participating troops in this exercise include 15,000 Qingtang Qiang, 30,000 Liugushu vassals, 3,000 Dun'an troops, 3,000 Controlling troops, 3,000 Luzhou troops, 3,000 Langxi troops, and Weizhou volunteers.

Ten thousand, the Shunde Army is 10,000, the Suppression Army is 15,000, the Dingbian Army is 10,000, the Security Army is 15,000, and the First Division of the Lower Fan Army is 3,000.

The purpose of this exercise is to improve the quality of the army in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, exercise transportation capabilities, coordination skills, technical and tactical levels, explore experience, and summarize lessons.

This operation does not target any unparticipated third parties, so please do not disturb the Tiandu Mountain Camp, Baotai and Jingsai Military Divisions.

At the same time, Su You sent a solemn report to the court. In view of the arrogant and unreasonable attitude of the Xia people, he strongly recommended that the court suspend the Xixia Suiyuan coins until a satisfactory reply was obtained!

…

"How dare he!" Liang Zuo was so furious that he drew out his newly equipped sword and slashed at the king's tent: "I can afford to lose fifty thousand people! Tomorrow we will send troops to Weizhou again! I will fight him to the death!"

Liang Yi Duobian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, but his family Liang remained calm and calm: "Wuzi, the Queen and the Prime Minister wrote to me and miss me very much. I hope Wuzu will return to Xingqing Mansion."

"There are so many important things in the court that are waiting for the Wu soldiers to deal with. Su You is a villain who gets his way for a while, so let him wait until he has strengthened his troops and makes a comeback."

This sounds nice, but it actually hints to Liang Zuo that because of this defeat, the Xia Kingdom's rear is a little unstable, and Liang Zuo needs to go back and deal with it.

Liang Zuo finally calmed down: "Sir, what is the purpose of Song State's useless military exercise?"

Jia Liang replied: "Wuzi, Su Mingrun is a businessman at heart, and he is used to asking for high prices. The Weizhou war has just ended, and the cost to our army is so high. How can he be better?"

"So the so-called military drills are just false threats."

Liang Yiduo was already troubled by the Song people's cunning when they were not fighting: "Sir, even if it is like this, we have to deal with it when they make this move."

Liang Zuo's anger rose again: "Don't even think about asking me to beg for mercy softly!"

Jialiang took a handful of bamboo sticks from several cases and placed them on the table one by one: "Let's first sort out the problems we are facing now."

After saying that, he put down one of the several cases: "Our army has recently retreated and its morale needs to be boosted. This is the first one;"

After saying that, he put down another one: "The spring cold has not subsided and the livestock are hungry and weak. This is the second one;"

"The Song Dynasty was aggressive and threatened with military exercises and coins. This is the third incident;"

"The Lord has been away from the capital for a long time, and his heart has changed. This is the fourth incident;"

Liang Zuo and Liang Yi Duobian both nodded secretly.

Jialiang said: "How to boost the morale of the army? This time, the losses were mainly caused by the emperor's uncle's old troops, plus the Tie Yaozi, Bubazi, especially the Tieyao team. The losses were huge."

"The Wu soldiers only need to promote a large number of talented people in the army. The old generals of the emperor's uncle will lead the new team of Tie Yaozi, and the Hengshan tribe will be charged into the Bubazi to show that the army and the people are serving the public. Then the people will be at ease and the military morale will be revitalized."

Forgive Zuo and Liang Yi nodded secretly, and Jia Liang took the first piece of calculation away.

He continued: "The spring cold has not subsided and the livestock are hungry and weak. It is not the time to fight. But does the Song army really dare to fight? Just send three envoys to solve this problem."

"The first is to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom and congratulate the crown prince. I humbly offer you a generous coin and ask for relief."

"Secondly, if we send envoys to the Song Dynasty again to threaten the court, we must be aware that the Song Dynasty will be wary of military generals who are arrogant in side affairs, such as snakes and scorpions. At this time, we must not be weak!"

"As long as you show your determination, Song Ting will definitely reprimand Su Mingrun, and then we can negotiate terms."

"As I said just now, Su Mingrun is a businessman after all. His rise to power is inseparable from the Meishan Group. Wuzu, I have a plan to draw out the firepower."

Liang Zuo looked moved: "Tell me."

Jialiang said: "As long as we agree with Song Ting, part of the two hundred thousand-year-old coins will be deducted from Meishan products at market prices! With such a huge profit, he, Su Mingrun, is forced to accept it under the pressure of Meishan merchants!"

Liang Zuo was a little hesitant: "This...can it really work?"

Jia Liang sneered: "If Su Mingrun is a smart person and doesn't want everyone to betray his family, he will have to follow this rule!"

"I hope he won't comply. If this happens, there will definitely be a rift between him and the Meishan Group."

"Given time, he will become a fierce tiger that has left the mountain and been stranded as a dragon, disappearing in the official circles of the Song Dynasty. Xixia will be considered as a powerful enemy!"

Liang Zuo couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It turns out he also has weaknesses! In this case, I kind of hope he won't obey."

Jia Liang's sneer turned into a bitter smile: "He is so cunning and cunning, he will definitely follow... Wu Zu, we can't pin our luck on the enemy who will lose his mind."

Liang Zuo walked to Jialiang and knelt down in front of him and said, "Liang Zuo is young and his worries are absurd. I hope you will give me advice at any time. Don't think that Liang Zuo is stupid and unteachable."

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

Jia Liang hurriedly paid homage to Liang Zuo: "Your Majesty, if Jia Liang comes back in a sorry state, eats on the same table, sleeps in the same tent, undresses and pushes food, accepts advice humbly, how can Jia Liang not use all his energy and wisdom to be loyal and diligent in the king's affairs?"

"The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord has humiliated his ministers to death. Jia Liang has been thinking about it these past few days. Lord, may I continue?"

Liang Zuo was now half worried and said more respectfully, "Sir, please speak."

Jia Liang took away the second calculation stick and picked up the third: "As for the military exercise, it is a military threat. The Lord only needs to send another envoy to contact the eldest son Xiang Xiang and the second son Mo Xiangju.

Just Brother Zong.”

Liang Zuo asked: "What price do we have to pay for these two people?"

Jialiang smiled slightly: "My lord, we don't need anything, just some empty promises, but the most important thing is to let Dong Xiang know the news about our contact with them."

Liang Yi Duo Mi and Liang Zuo couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Liang Zuo said excitedly: "According to what the great monk Ji Duo said, Su Siluo is seriously ill and will not survive this year. In this case, Dong Xiang will never dare to leave Qing Dynasty without authorization.

Tang, the discussion of joint exercises will be defeated by itself!"
