Chapter 423: Lingzhou
Zhao Xu said oh, saying, "Please."
"Yes." Chenpi responded and turned around and went out.
Zhang Feng, Xu Jiang and others were puzzled and stood beside each other.
Weiming Abang, Meiledu and his two brothers came in, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "I Weiming Abang (Meiledu) see Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xu glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "People who are flat, and they will be given seats, and they will sit down and say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Ming Abi and his two stood up.
When everyone sat down, Zhao Xu looked at Wei Ming and Abang and said, "When the two Qing families came to see what I said just now?"
Wei Ming Abang and Mei Le looked at each other, with a big bearded face and a solemn face, raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to make my Song Dynasty take Lingzhou!"
Lingzhou is the so-called Xiping Prefecture in Xixia and the southern gateway to Xingqing Prefecture!
Not only Zhao Xu was surprised, but also Zhang Feng, Xu and others were looking at each other side.
If Lingzhou can be taken down, the Song Dynasty's strategic position over the Western Xia will suddenly change, and the Song Dynasty will only be able to defeat the Western Xia in the future!
Zhao Xu's expression remained unmoved and thought about it in his heart.
Weiming Abá and Meile both had just surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Like them, there were nearly a hundred people of all sizes. It is still difficult to confirm their true thoughts.
Zhang Feng and Zhao Xu looked at each other, stepped forward, and shouted, "Why don't you tell me quickly."
Wei Ming Abi looked stern and said buzzingly: "Yes. Your Majesty, Lord Zhang, the Liao Kingdom helped Li Xia to rescue Li Xia. Whether Li Xia was to repay his favor or to unite the Liao Kingdom to fight against our Song Dynasty, he would definitely send troops to help Liao Kingdom quell the rebellion. After a previous battle, Li Xia was greatly injured and the troops that could be combined were no more than 80,000. Xingqing Prefecture, Lingzhou, Liangzhou and others would have to station troops, and Liao Kingdom would have to suppress the rebellion at least 50,000. Therefore, Liangzhou would have to leave at most 10,000 people! As long as Your Majesty sent sudden cavalry, hiding out at day and going out at night, and surrounding Lingzhou, I would persuade him to cooperate inside and outside. Within ten days, I promise that Lingzhou will be sent!"
Zhang Shi's eyes flashed, and he silently pondered in his heart.
Zhao Xu habitually picked up the teacup, his face was not distorted, and he was also judging in his heart.
There is basically no problem with Wei Ming Abang's words, but can Wei Ming Abang's motive be trustworthy? If he is in Cao's camp and is in the Han Dynasty, he will respond to the inside and outside, the cavalry that Zhao Xu has worked hard to build may be ruined.
General Xu watched from the side, suddenly turned to Zhao Xu and said, "Officials, please pass on Zhong Jianzhong."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Since you want to use cavalry, it's all about Zhong Jianzhong, the news."
Tangerine Pi responded and ordered the Huangmen to spread it.
Wei Ming Abi stood quietly without saying anything more.
Zhang Shi retreated aside, his expression still meditated.
He was naturally very willing to take Lingzhou, but if he could not win, the general trend of Song Xia's strategic trend would be reversed again, which required careful deduction.
Not long after, Zhong Jianzhong came.
Zhong Jianzhong was tall and dull. He came in and glanced at everyone, raised his hand and said to Zhao Xu: "My minister, Zhong Jianzhong, please see the official family."
"No gifts, sit down." Zhao Xu looked at Zhong Jianzhong and said with a smile. Zhao Xu never found the famous Zhong Shidao. After all, he finally settled on Zhong Jianzhong.
‘Maybe, he changed his name in the future.’ Zhao Xu said to himself.
When General Xu saw Zong Jianzhong sitting down, he raised his hand to signal to Zhao Xu, and turned to Zong Jianzhong. Wei Ming Ashan and the others said, "I asked for the official's question: I want to take Lingzhou in the Song Dynasty, in what name? The alliance has just been signed, involving the three parties of Song, Xia and Liao. What do the two generals think?"
Zhong Jianzhong sat straight and dull, and he didn't say a word.
When Wei Ming Abang saw that Zong Jianzhong did not speak, he immediately stood up and raised his hand and said, "I will report to Your Majesty that King Shuncheng did not obey the saint's order and dispatched troops privately. This is a serious crime of treason. Our Song Dynasty sent troops to attack him, and the army was famous!"
General Xu looked at him, looked at the others, and continued, "Why must I take Lingzhou in the Song Dynasty? This battle is a great victory, and the offense and defense are changed. My Song Dynasty no longer needs to continue to send troops. He will return to the court on his own to reform, eliminate bad policies, and enrich the country and strengthen the people."
Zhang Yu Guang swept Xu General and turned to Zhong Jianzhong and Weiming Abian.
When Zhong Jianzhong saw Zhang Feng's gaze, he stood up and buzzed: "I don't know."
Xu General was stunned, then looked at him deeply, and turned to Weiming Abang.
Wei Ming Abi lowered his head, complaining about Zhong Jianzhong's silent words, and could only say: "I have called you to your Majesty. I personally think that, first, it is to shock King Shuncheng and Liao and ensure the effectiveness of the alliance. Second,... He is strong and weak, and Liao is weak, and quelling the rebellion is not conducive to our Song Dynasty. Therefore, the original intention of taking Lingzhou is to weaken Xia and Liao."
Xu General listened and turned to Zhao Xu.
These are actually all false, and some excuses are there for them to take over Lingzhou.
Zhao Xu thought about it for a moment and said decisively: "Soldiers are very important! Zhong Jianzhong, my name is your commander, Wei Ming Abang is the deputy, leading 20,000 cavalrymen, Wei Ming Abang, and Li Xia surrendered soldiers, I will all be assigned to you, with a total of 7,000 people. I will take Lingzhou for me, and I will remember your great achievements!"
Before Wei Ming Abian was excited, Zhong Jianzhong suddenly raised his hand and said, "The official, I think the target of this marching should be to attack Xia directly, attack Xingqing Prefecture, and attack Lingzhou in a fake way."
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't say anything.
General Xu was also a man who knew the military and bowed to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu thought of Zhang Feng's evaluation of Zhong Jianzhong, "it looks dull and thoughtful."
Zhao Xu's smile bloomed, and he focused his head, saying, "Your family's brilliant plan is to do this. I don't care about how to march and set up a formation. I want Lingzhou!"
Lingzhou is not only the gateway to Xingqing Prefecture, but also an important stronghold for the Song army to go north in the future!
If Lingzhou is taken down, the Song army can threaten the Liao Kingdom from the side and will not be passively beaten because of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun!
"I will receive the order!" Zhong Jianzhong and Wei Ming Abian raised their hands together.
Zhong Jianzhong has a simple expression and can't tell anything.
It was a strong man, Wei Ming, who had a big beard, showed excitement.
He was a man who surrendered to the Song Dynasty. With the generals of the Song Dynasty, his status was extremely low and he deviated from it. He needed to surrender his name!
The emperor of the Song Dynasty showed great trust in him and gave him seven thousand surrendered soldiers.
Although there must be a purpose of surveillance and temptation, he doesn't care. He has no intention of rebelling, nor does he have the reason to rebel!
Not to mention that his family is all in the hands of the Song people, even if he rebels back, as a confidant of Queen Mother Liang, he once held heavy troops and had a respected status in the Western Xia. Now that Queen Mother Liang is dead, how can Li Qianshun tolerate him?
Zhao Xu walked and stopped along the way, just waiting for this opportunity. Now, the opportunity has finally come!
Zhao Xu finalized this matter and looked at General Xu and Liang Tao, saying, "Write a letter to the Political Affairs Hall, asking them to send people to Liao Kingdom, denounce Li Qianshun, and discuss the matter of alliance and trading with Liao Kingdom. The main point is that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, personnel and goods can be transferred freely."
The five words "Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun" immediately touched the thoughts of everyone here, and Zhao Xu's intentions were self-evident!
General Xu and Liang Tao raised their hand and said, "I will receive the order."
Zhao Xu nodded, looked around everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I will be ordered to go to the end. If we cannot take Lingzhou, the place where we recovered in the new will not be stable at all. Zhong Jianzhong, Wei Ming Abian, will reorganize our troops immediately and send troops tomorrow!"
"I received the order!" Zhong Jianzhong said loudly again.
Lingzhou, also known as Xiping Prefecture, is not only the southern gateway of Xingqing Prefecture, but also an important stronghold for the Xixia to move south, but also a necessary road for the Xixia to move south!
