Chapter 102: Xixia sends troops

Bian Jing, Jiying Hall, Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong gathered together to discuss major military affairs.

Song Shenzong frowned and kept paced back and forth, looking worried.

Not only was he worried, but Wang Anshi and others were both worried, either of whom were furrowing his eyebrows?

"Prince, please be relieved." Lu Gong raised his eyebrows and comforted him: "In this battle, the Song Dynasty was invincible. No matter what the result was, the Song Dynasty won but lost."

In the battle in the north, no matter what the result was, the Song Dynasty would be invincible. This has become a consensus. It is precisely because of this consensus that the atmosphere in the Korean Central Committee is relatively relaxed. In the past, when the Liao army was pressed down, the phenomenon of panic disappearing all day long.

"Yes!" Lu Huiqing hurriedly echoed: "Even if the war is unfavorable, the Song army will fight bloody battles and kill many Liao troops. Not to mention, before the Song army withdraws, it will destroy a lot, making the Liao Kingdom unable to move south within ten years. With such favorable time, the Song Dynasty can concentrate all its efforts to deal with Xixia. Just seize Hengshan, the Song Dynasty locks Xixia in the northwest, and Shanzhou will be safe. At that time, the Song Dynasty can concentrate its troops against a country, whether to deal with Xixia or Liao Kingdom, depending on the situation."

Because the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom colluded and colluded to deal with the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty could not concentrate its troops against a country, and had to disperse its troops and fight on two fronts, which made the Song Dynasty very passive. Now it was a huge opportunity. If the Liao Kingdom was unable to move south within ten years, the Song Dynasty could concentrate its troops against the Xixia. As long as there was no restraint from the Liao Kingdom, it would not be too difficult for the Song Dynasty to deal with the Xixia.

I dare not say that I can destroy Xixia, but the success of seizing Hengshan is much greater. As long as Hengshan is in hand, Xixia will be locked in the northwest, and Shanzhou will be safe.

"I don't know what you said?" Song Shenzong spoke slowly and said even more worriedly: "That's the worst situation. Why can't we fight for a better situation? Even if the Song Dynasty is defeated, the Liao Kingdom will be unable to move south within ten years. However, if the Song Dynasty wins, it will be a way to recover the land of Yanyun in one fell swoop. As long as the land of Yanyun is regained, the Liao Kingdom will not be able to invade the Central Plains again within ten years, not to mention that it will be possible for the Liao Kingdom to invade the Central Plains again within a hundred years."

The reason why the Liao Kingdom repeatedly launched troops to invade the territory was ultimately because the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was in the hands of Liao Kingdom. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun fell into the hands of Liao Kingdom, which mainly gave the Liao Kingdom two aspects. One was to greatly increase the strength of Liao Kingdom, possess excellent equipment, a large amount of taxes, and countless food and grass. With these war resources in hand, the Liao Kingdom would not be able to use troops against the rich Central Plains.

Second, the geographical location of Yanyun Land is too important and is a barrier to the Central Plains. If you master the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, you will master the springboard for attacking the Central Plains.

It is precisely because of this that for more than a hundred years, the Liao Kingdom has always been eyeing the Central Plains.

If this battle is fought well and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is recovered in one fell swoop, the strength of the Liao Kingdom will plummet. The Liao Kingdom will return to its original form, as it was a hundred years ago, without developed skills, excellent equipment, taxes, and food and grass. It is almost impossible for the Liao Kingdom to conquer.

Not to mention anything else, daily necessities, such as tea, porcelain, and silk, have to be exchanged for things, and the cost is very high. In the case where the Liao Kingdom even had the most basic living security problems, it is hard to imagine that the Liao Kingdom launched a large-scale military force against the Song Dynasty.

Second, if you lose the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, you will lose the springboard for attacking the Central Plains. The Liao Kingdom could not use troops to the Central Plains at all. At most, it would be like the Huns and Turks, which would only disturb the Great Wall at the foot of the Great Wall, and what you gain was extremely limited.

It is precisely because of this that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were too important. Even though Song Shenzong knew that the Song Dynasty was invincible, he still hoped to win this battle and recover the Sixty Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop.

The more he was so expectant, the more nervous he became, the more worried he was. These days, he discussed with Wang Anshi and the others all day long about the outcome of this battle. However, after discussing, no one had a conclusion, so he could only wait patiently.

Waiting is the most tormenting thing. Song Shenzong was worried and lost weight all over.

"Officials, the war is fierce and dangerous, and it is difficult to determine the number of victory or defeat. No one can tell the difference. It's better to wait patiently." Wang Anshi sighed lightly and comforted Song Shenzong.

Like Song Shenzong, he was also worried, but he was indifferent. In the current situation, what else can he do besides waiting?

"Wait, wait, wait! I feel very uncomfortable!" Song Shenzong looked unwilling: "If I had known this, I would have personally fought and received the news as soon as possible. How great would it be!"

Seeing Song Shenzong's anxious look, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and Lu Gong smiled bitterly. Who wouldn't want to know about such a war that is related to the fate of the world at the first time?

"Why is my life so hard!" Just as the three of them smiled bitterly, Song Shenzong only heard a mysterious sentence.

Wang Anshi and the others heard it, and the strangeness was in their hearts. Where did the emperor get their miserable life? Listening to Song Shenzong's tone, it seemed as if he was the most miserable person in the world, and it would not be possible to be surprised.

Mr. Lu was about to ask, but he heard Song Shenzong complainingly: "I have to worry not only about the war in the north, but also about the war in Shanzhou. The war in the north is difficult to understand for a while, and the war in Shanzhou is even more confusing. I have to worry about two wars for a while. Do you think my life is miserable?"

Two wars were fought at the same time, which was very rare in Chinese history. Generally speaking, as long as it could be avoided, it would be avoided as much as possible and concentrate its forces to fight a war. Unfortunately, Song Shenzong could not avoid it. Whether he compromised or responded strongly, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia would attack at the same time and had to fight two wars.

Moreover, these two wars are closely related to the safety of the world. Who can not care about it? Who can not be anxious?

"Oh!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong sighed at the same time.

"Western Xia should send troops!" Song Shenzong was extremely distressed and kept pulling his hair.

Song Shenzong was not wrong, Xixia really sent troops.

At this moment, the northwest is filled with ice and snow, with snow covered in the foot of the north wind roaring, and snowflakes are rolling up all over the sky.

"Rumor!" I heard the sound of hooves like thunder, which made the ground tremble. I saw teams of Xixia troops passing through Hengshan in the wind and snow, braved the cold.

Hengshan is hundreds of miles in a radius, with a complex terrain and extremely dangerous, with only a few mountain roads. Therefore, whoever occupy Hengshan will be able to pass through Hengshan freely. If you cannot control Hengshan and march in Hengshan, you will lose more than you win. It can be said that there is almost no chance of winning.

This was fully proved in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. The Song Dynasty really didn't care about the Western Xia, which was different from the Liao Dynasty. The Song Dynasty adopted a defensive strategy against the Liao Dynasty, but the offensive strategy against the Western Xia. During the decades of war against the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty had been taking an offensive, but no matter how the Song Dynasty attacked, it always failed.

The reason is that Hengshan is not in the hands of the Song Dynasty. Xixia had only one way to deal with the Song Dynasty, luring the enemy into deep and cutting off the enemy's food route. Once the Song Dynasty sent troops, Xixia retreated and led the Song army to Hengshan, and then sent troops to cut off the Song army's food route and attack the Song army.

This move was used by Xixia for decades, but it was successful again and again. The Song Dynasty knew that this was the old trick of Xixia, but because of the special nature of Hengshan, there was no way to deal with Xixia.

This really corresponds to the old saying "One move can be eaten all over the world." Xixia killed the Song Dynasty for decades with one move.

Hengshan was controlled by Xixia, and the Xixia army was free to advance and retreat, so there was no need to worry about being ambushed by the Song army, and they swaggered through the mountain road and headed towards Shanzhou.

This time, Xixia has all the elite troops. It is necessary to conquer Shanzhou in one fell swoop and go straight to Guanzhong. In the middle of the team is Iron Harrier, each of whom is tall and extremely strong, with an extraordinary horse fighting horse under his crotch.

Iron Harrier was the most elite army in Xixia, as famous as the Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom. It was the two most famous armies in the world at that time. They rarely appeared on the battlefield and were more used for deterrence. As we are now, all the elite army of Iron Harrier was rare in the decades of war between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty.

"With the iron kite in hand, why worry about this battle!" Liang Xi rode on the horse, beside the road of the horse. He looked at the iron kite rumbled in, and felt relaxed and his tone of speech was several points higher.

"The iron kite in Daxia is the most elite army in Daxia. This time, the Song people must suffer a lot." Li Zongbao stopped beside the horse and nodded.

They have absolute confidence in Iron Harriers. Since the establishment of Iron Harriers, they have never suffered a defeat, and it is impossible to have insufficient confidence.

"Hehe!" Liang Xi smiled sinisterly, looking like a wolf grandmother: "This time, Emperor Song must suffer a big loss. They thought they had planned to plot against us, but we did not expect that we would plot against them."

"I have to say that there are capable people under Emperor Song, so we almost said." Li Zongbao smiled and felt very comfortable: "If we hadn't chosen Dadao, we would have really cheated him. Dadao means that the Liao Kingdom would not have thought of anyone in the world. Then, Emperor Song probably did not have any troops from Shanzhou, so we must be careful!"

"Yes!" Liang Xi's smile became even more powerful: "In order to confuse us, Emperor Song put on a large number of Western soldiers, and we were really fooled. If it weren't for the news of the military use that made us awaken, we would have really plunged into the trap of the Song people."

These two were not incompetent people. At first, they believed that the Shanzhou soldiers had been transferred in large quantities. It was not until the news of the Song Dynasty attacking the Liao Kingdom that they felt something was wrong. After the two of them decided to believe that the Song Dynasty did not transfer troops from Shanzhou, but set a huge trap for them.

"In the Shanzhou soldiers, the Zhong Family Army and the Yao Family Army are all very elite and difficult to deal with. We must try our best to avoid it." Li Zongbao comforted his forehead and smiled happily: "As for Li Xian, although he is Huan Shu, he is not an incompetent person. Tong Guan, his subordinates, is brave and good at fighting, extraordinary in martial arts, and very smart. If we beat Li Xian, we would not go too smoothly. After searching, this person is the most suitable person."
