Chapter 378 Xia people are crazy
At the banquet, there were begging, laughter and joy, the sound of silk and bamboo, and singing and dancing like a dragon.
Queen Mother Liang was very happy and was a little drunk.
The crowd didn't seem to feel that the war was ahead, and the occasional flattery was densely packed.
Li Ganshun quietly observed these people, always smiling, even if no one took him seriously, he still couldn't sit still.
Wei Ming Ashan was absent-minded. When the banquet ended, he patiently waited and sent Empress Dowager Liang back to the account with Li Ganshun and a few others.
Li Ganshun looked at the two eunuchs who were holding Empress Dowager Liang into the tent, his eyes were slightly cold, but he left without saying a word.
Wei Ming Ashan was full of anxiety and pretended to be nothing, leaving the crowd.
He was about to return to his tent, and suddenly, a gentle laugh rang behind him: "Your family will walk slowly."
Wei Ming Ashan's body suddenly tense, and immediately he realized something was wrong, so he forced himself to calm down. He turned around and saw that it was Li Ganshun, and quickly saluted and said, "I will see Your Majesty."
Li Ganshun didn't care about these things. He looked at Wei Ming Ashan's still not normal expression and said in confusion: "I saw the Qing family's expression wrong at the banquet, and it's even more so now. Is there anything wrong with the Qing family?"
Wei Ming Ashan didn't expect that he was noticed by Li Ganshun. He became nervous and hesitated. He deliberately glanced around, took two steps forward, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have received the news that the Song State gathered more than 300,000 troops this time, Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and Zhuola City were all moving, but our army concentrated on Pingxia City, and I was a little worried."
Pingxia City is located at the northern end of Liupanshui, only 600 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xia Kingdom (later Yinchuan)! It is the most powerful strategic location for defending and attacking Xixia!
Li Ganshun frowned, and then said, "Why didn't the Qing family report to her mother?"
Wei Ming Ashan struggled for a moment and said, "Empress is drunk? I plan to say it tomorrow."
Li Ganshun nodded slightly. His mother hated the Yaxing that others disturbed her the most. Wei Ming Ashan would be furious if he wanted to talk about this at the banquet.
Li Ganshun observed Wei Ming Ashan? Although this person was promoted by his mother, he vaguely felt that he could win over. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Young family? I think? What is our biggest problem now?"
Wei Ming Ashan had already seen that this little emperor was not simple, and with a lot of worries, he became more vigilant and more loyal. He lowered his head with thoughtful eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I think that in addition to the issue of military arrangements, my Daxia is too confident. The Song people took every step of the way and deliberately lured my Daxia to start a war. They used to have only tens of thousands of people, but this time they mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Their goal was not small. Our country must be vigilant."
Last year, Xixia invaded Huanqing Road? In fact, there were only tens of thousands of people in Zhangxi.
When Li Ganshun saw Wei Ming Ashan telling him the truth, he was happy and said with a smile: "What the Qing family says is very much. The Qing family thinks, how likely is the Pingxia City?"
Wei Ming Ashan knew that the Song Dynasty had been planning for a long time, and the Song Dynasty might know them very well, but they knew almost nothing about the Song people.
Wei Ming Ashan did not pretend to be contempt, but this time he was silent.
The Song Dynasty clearly had some designs, and he said more and said less and was wrong.
Li Ganshun looked at Wei Ming Ashan's expression and seemed to understand. He nodded and said, "Then what do you think I, Daxia, should do it?"
Wei Ming Ashan thought a lot about this and blurted out: "I believe that my Daxia should cultivate and nourish and cultivate the foundation. If the Song State repeatedly provoked, we should join forces with the Liao State to fight together, so that we will win and not lose. Among the Three Kingdoms, our Daxia is the weakest national strength. If we fight with the Song State head-on and lose each other, it will only allow the Liao people to take advantage of it. In the future, the three families will return to Jin again!"
There are two allusions of the so-called "Three Families Return to Jin". One is that the three ministers and ministers of Jin divided the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn Period. The other is that in the Three Kingdoms era, Wei, Shu and Wu were eventually unified and returned to the Jin Dynasty.
Wei Ming Ashan was obviously saying that if Song Xia continues to fight, Lu Liao Kingdom may eventually swallow up their two families.
Li Ganshun understood, without any surprises.
He looked at Wei Ming Ashan in a strange way. This person's thoughts were almost the same as him.
After a while.
"I understand." Li Gan looked at the south, said this with a faint expression, and then turned around and left.
Wei Ming Ashan stared at Li Ganshun's back in a daze. For some reason, he always felt that the young emperor seemed to have made some important decision just now.
Weiming Ashan didn't have time to think about it anymore, and he had to deal with the Song Dynasty.
The Song people control his life and death, and he doesn't want to die until the last moment!
Weiming Ashan thought about countermeasures while walking.
His life is in the hands of the Song people. If he doesn't want to die, he has to show his value and continue to fool him. The Song people think he is worthless and may really abandon him!
"Damn it!" Wei Ming Ashan gritted his teeth. He regretted volunteering to go to the Song Dynasty, and ended up being embarrassed today. Cai You, the Song Dynasty, wanted to lose all his money!
Wei Ming Ashan came to his camp with great thoughts all the way. As soon as he opened it in, his eyes immediately opened, and then his face changed drastically. He hurriedly walked in.
In the big tent, there was a man, a young man in his twenties, drinking leisurely, watching Wei Ming Ashan come in, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been promoted? Do you want me to help you again?"
Wei Ming Ashan looked gloomy and came closer and said in a low voice: "You are too brave, you dare to come to the camp!"
The person who came was Cai You, the person Weiming Ashan hated the most.
Cai You savored the wine and said, "You Dangxiang people's wine is really too hard to drink. By the way, are you surprised that I can come here?"
Wei Ming Ashan stared at Cai You, and he couldn't guess how many people this person had ambushed in their Daxia. He was really shocked to be able to enter his tent.
His face slowly calmed down, he sat opposite Cai You, and said expressionlessly: "Tell me. What do you want?"
Cai You spit out the wine in his mouth, spat, and said, "It's really hard to drink. I want all the news of Xia Jun's every move to be passed on in time. If I find that you fool me again, I will let you die without a place to die. In addition, I also want the border of Songxia, all the defense maps of Xia Jun, including troops, who is stationed, daily patrols, etc. Oh, you can refuse, kill me directly and seek credit."
Wei Ming Ashan’s request for Cai You was not surprising at all, and he said directly: “The message transmission is definitely not so timely. After all, I am not a commander. I will not know about the important things. As for the defense maps of the fortresses everywhere, I don’t know them. I have not participated in these things before…”
"Pooh!"
Cai You spit out another sip of wine, threw away the wine glass, and said casually, "Tomorrow, I will give it to me according to the agreed method. If I don't receive it, or if I have a verification that there is something fake, you are ready to sacrifice your life for your Daxia. Now, should you consider it and kill me first?"
Wei Ming Ashan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He did have this idea more than once, but he knew better that killing Cai You would be of no use, and would only make him die faster.
He struggled and struggled in his heart, Wei Ming Ashan said stiffly: "I can only give you what I know. I can't guarantee whether it is accurate or not."
Cai You stood up and said with a smile: "I believe that no one will choose to commit suicide if there is hope. You will not disappoint me."
Cai You didn't say much, wearing the Xia army's uniform, walked out of Weiming Ashan's camp.
Wei Ming Ashan sat without moving. Cai You's subtext was very clear. He was a smart person.
He would not choose to ‘kill suicide’ before despair!
Wei Ming Ashan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly. After a long time, he stood up.
He didn't know many things, and he had to inquire now. Fortunately, it was during the war, and using this excuse to "care" would not arouse others' suspicion.
Sure enough, the next day, when the Xia army was setting off, Cai You received a very substantial small box.
While Cai You was quickly verifying the things inside, Wei Ming Ashan followed the army and headed towards Pingxia City.
Pingxia City is still unmoving.
The commander of the sixth route, Wei Ming, could not sit still, and Empress Dowager Liang was about to arrive!
"attack!"
This is Wei Ming Abi's order to grit his teeth.
He is tall and mighty, and has always been respected by the soldiers.
With his order, the Xia army began to do their best, and even more crazy attacking Pingxia City, with four gates attacking at the same time!
Pingxia City at the top.
When the brothers Guo Cheng, Yao Xiong and Yao Gu saw each other, their faces were as deep as water.
"The Xia people are crazy." Yao Xiong looked at the formation and was a little scared.
Attacking four gates at the same time will arouse desperate resistance in the city, which is a taboo in siege, but this also shows that the Xia people are determined to win and ignore sacrifices.
Guo Cheng didn't say anything. Calculate the time. It's been six or seven days since the Xia people besieged the city.
He was not afraid of Xia Ren's madness, but was worried about their side.
According to Zhang Yue's plan, he strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and set up a large army outside to drag down the Xia army and fight again.
But six or seven days passed, and they were afraid they couldn't hold back.
