"Brother, the court has sent three imperial envoys!"

Wang Ningze shouted exaggeratedly.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I... am I worried about you!" Young Master Wang Si flattened his mouth.

Wang Ning'an chuckled, "Just don't cause trouble for me. Hurry up and keep an eye on the front line of Weizhou, don't let the people of Xixia take advantage."

When it comes to war, Wang Ningze is rarely serious.

"Brother, recently, the Xixia people went south separately, and the two sides were in conflict. We suffered a lot of losses. There were also tribes who kept up trouble and cooperated with the Xixia to cause chaos. Our situation was not going well."

"so what?"

"So..." Wang Ningze scratched his head, "So someone suggested sending troops, taking down the Xixia people's nest, taking down Lingzhou and Jingzhou, and the Xixia people became honest."

Wang Ning'an's face darkened, and even his brothers suggested fighting, which showed how the voices were below, but this battle was really not as simple as he thought.

"Silang, you are me now. There is a sand table on the table. See how you send troops to attack Lingzhou. If you can come up with a solution, I will listen to you."

Wang Ningze hesitated for a moment and immediately rushed to the front of the sand table, staring at the situation on both sides carefully, calculating the people, weapons and food, Wang Ningze prepared to concentrate 100,000 troops to conquer Lingzhou in one fell swoop. Xixia had 150,000 troops on this line, including 100,000 troops to capture the alive.

If there are less than 100,000 troops, there is absolutely no chance of winning. Although Mr. Wang is arrogant, he is not yet crazy. He runs to the door of his house and still counts on one to be ten or one to be hundred. That is a brainless person!

It would be great if it could win the more with less.

Want to mobilize 100,000 people, how much food, weapons, how many civilians, and livestock... Wang Ningze calculated silently, but after all, he suddenly noticed a huge area on the sand table. Suddenly, his body shook, and cold sweat flowed down his temples. He looked left and right, and for a long time, he sighed dejectedly and gave up all his thoughts.

Wang Ningze drooped his head and said, "Brother, you are right. I will go to Weizhou to guard the situation and I will restrain my subordinates and tell them not to think about the offensive matter. Who dares to start a war lightly? I cut off his head!"

Wang Ning'an snorted, "There is no need to behead his head. Just send it to Hengshan line and ask them to repair the city and move cement."

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Ningze said goodbye obediently, turned around and the three imperial envoys arrived.

Without further ado, Wang Ning'an received three imperial envoys on behalf of all the soldiers in front. Di Qing did not come, but Jia Changchao came.

This old guy came here in the middle of the night yesterday. When he came, Wang Ningze had just left.

Jia Changchao had previously made arbitrary claims and encouraged the use of troops. Later, he found that Wang Ning'an actually opposed sending troops and had a conflict with Zhao Zhen, which made Lao Jia very embarrassed.

He is now in the wild, not as good as Wen Yanbo who can play Tai Chi with all means. He must catch Wang Ning'an and never let him misunderstand.

"Erlang, it's really my negligence. I thought Hengshan had been conquered and the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom was about to be destroyed. Great merits were within my reach... I forgot to ask you." Jia Changchao patted his chest and said, "Erlang, you have to believe me. I am different from those people. This time the imperial envoy sent an imperial envoy. If you are not convenient to deal with them, let me go. Chen Shengzhi is my junior. If he wants to make trouble, I will definitely not let him go."

In this way, Jia Changchao took the initiative to stay and received three imperial envoys with Wang Ning'an. At a simple welcoming banquet, Wang Ning'an only prepared four dishes for them and a pot of horse-milky wine from the Hengshan herders.

No matter what these three people think, they are very honest when facing Wang Ning'an and Jia Changchao!

Chen Shengzhi bowed and said, "Grandpa Wang and Glory Jia, we are ordered to come here. First, to investigate the military and civilian situation, and second, to visit the two husbands, listen to your opinions, and then report the truth. There is no other intention. Please understand the two husbands."

Wang Ning'an nodded, "I still understand the rules for doing business. Three imperial envoys, please follow me."

Wang Ning'an brought them to the sand table room in the study. The day before yesterday, Wang Ningze retreated from the sand table. Today, there are many small things added here, such as wooden pony, chariot, villain, as well as macaques, banners, tents, cities, etc. The strength and terrain of both sides are obvious at a glance.

Chen Shengzhi led troops in the local area. Although he was a civil servant, he knew a little. He silently counted the banners on the Xixia side, with a total of 30 small flags.

"Gong Wang, does this mean that there are still 300,000 troops in Xixia?"

"That's right!" Wang Ning'an said: "This victory in Hengshan was actually the result of the Western Xia's voluntary retreat. Their 100,000 capturing troops were all pushed to Lingzhou and Xingzhou and other places. In addition to the local Party and Xiang ministries, Li Liangzuo now has 300,000 troops, which is almost the same as the strength of our Song Dynasty."

Gao Zunyu immediately said: "Grandpa Wang, my great Song Dynasty soldiers are good and food are sufficient, and the Western Xia is newly defeated, and his morale is depressed, and he is disloyal, so why can't we fight?"

Wang Ning'an remained silent and pointed to the area south of Lingzhou, "It's here, this is why the Song Dynasty cannot send troops!"

Gao Zunyu did not lead the troops in the northwest, so it is not clear.

At this time, Jia Changchao coughed, "Although I am a literati, I know that this area is 700 miles of the sea! Lord Chen, General Gao, and Tan Gongfeng, don't you not know how powerful Hanhai is, right?"

Chen Shengzhi and Tan Xian both looked very bad and looked frightened.

Jia Changchao continued: "The 700-mile marsh in the vast sea is difficult to move on. Now it is the turn of spring and summer, and the rain is getting more and more. Even if the army can pass through the vast sea, what should we do if the support? How to feed food and grass, how can we pass through the vast sea? Not to mention the swamp area, even if it is a flat road, how much will it cost to transport grain 700 miles away? Two or three percent will always be there? Going to the vast sea? I am afraid that it will be transferred, at most 30% of the 100% will be delivered, and it will not be delivered on time! If the Xixia troops are waiting for an opportunity to attack, I don't know how many people will die and how much will they lose?"

Looking at the three people whose face gradually turned green, Jia Changchao was a little proud. These principles were told to him yesterday. Now the old guy is selling it now.

"If we have to send troops, we can guarantee the logistics of up to 50,000 troops, 50,000 to 300,000. Even if we can win, can we wipe out the main force of Xixia? As long as their main force is still there, the war in the northwest will continue for a moment. Do we have the capital to pull the front line so long?"

Jia Changchao was like teaching his own children a lesson. "You have to be careful when fighting and conduct on-site inspections. It is not just by slapping your head. The wastes in the capital only know how to sit and discuss the truth. If you have nothing to do, you will write a letter to encourage the saints. They are harming the country and the people and blinding the saints! You three still have questions. You might as well go to the Hanhai to see if you can send troops!"

Chen Shengzhi, Gao Zunyu, and Tan Xian looked at each other.

All read strong contempt.

My god Jia Changchao!

You are one of the main warriors. You will teach others a lesson when you turn your head. It’s faster to turn your back than to read a book. It’s really shameless!

Of course, they only dared to think about it in their hearts. After all, Jia Changchao's status in the world was too high. At most, he said that he had no field investigation and had a fever for a while, even Zhao Zhen would not do anything to him.

Moreover, what Jia Changchao said is really convincing.

Thinking about the fact that the Song Dynasty decided to run Qingtang, it might not have avoided the trouble of Hanhai.

Gao Zunyu didn't give up, "Your Majesty, can't we avoid the vast sea?"

"You can avoid it, but the problem is that after avoiding it, the supply line will increase exponentially, becoming two thousand miles. Whether it is going to the East or the West, the possibility of being attacked is very high!"

Wang Ning'an pointed to the direction of the Hexi Corridor, "This is also the reason why I advocated regaining Liangzhou and other places first. As long as the Hexi Corridor is taken down, the interference on the flanks will be gone. The army can march along the Yellow River and go straight to Xingqing Prefecture, thereby bypassing the vast sea natural danger!"

"Well, Mr. Wang is indeed far-sighted."

Chen Shengzhi nodded frequently, obviously, he was convinced by Wang Ning'an.

"Your Majesty, the emperor dares to ask for advice. Now Xixia is unwilling to fail and repeatedly sends troops to harass him. You can't overcome his annoyance. You have a plan to retreat to the enemy."

"No!" Wang Ning'an's answer was straightforward.

The three of them were stunned, "Grandpa Wang, can you let Xixia continue to cause trouble?"

Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "Three, since you know the danger of the vast sea, why are you still worried about the disturbance of Xixia?"

"ah!"

The three of them opened their mouths wide and were stunned.

Their minds twitched a little, and they immediately understood what Wang Ning'an meant, and they wanted to get into the cracks in the ground with shame.

The Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack and crossed the vast sea of ​​700 miles.

Similarly, if Xixia comes here, he will also go to the vast sea.

Although the soldiers of Xixia are more adapted to the climatic conditions of the vast sea than the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. However, walking in the vast sea is not easy. They came from afar, and the veterans of the teachers were exhausted. The Song Dynasty used elite soldiers to attack them. Although the losses will not be less, the one that cannot hold on for a long time must be Xixia!

"Three, I have ordered the renovation of all fortresses on the Hengshan line, strengthen defense, and move the people of Hengshan into Qinzhou and Qingtang and other places. The Hengshan line will become a wall of iron, and the people of Xixia will definitely not be able to cross Hengshan. At the same time, north of Hengshan, which originally belonged to Xixia, we defended Weizhou, Hongzhou, Longzhou and other places, and captured Youzhou, and selected elite troops to deploy defenses. The people of Xixia will no longer be able to poison the northwest."

Wang Ning'an said again: "Stable Hengshan, and at the same time, he sent partial troops to capture Liangzhou and Ganzhou, open up the commercial routes in the Western Regions, and then mobilized people and raided the Helan Mountain line. At that time, our garrison in Hengshan also stabilized, the people's hearts surrendered, the food, grass and weapons were sufficient, and it was just enough to concentrate troops, cross the vast sea, and pacify the Western Xia in one fell swoop."

"Before the three of you came, I have submitted the detailed hunger strategy to Your Majesty for the emperor's visit. You can also investigate everywhere and see the situation... and then report to Your Majesty in fact! In short, I oppose attacking Lingzhou immediately!"

Wang Ning'an finished his strategic concept and bowed directly, "I still have military affairs to deal with, please do whatever you want."

These three aggressive imperial envoys looked at each other at this moment. Chen Shengzhi coughed twice, "I think Wang Xianggong's plan is very stable, let's just write to the book!"
Chapter completed!
