Chapter 377 I want it
Zhao Xu had no words, which was to maintain the majesty of Privy Councilor Zhang and to uphold his promise of not interfering in this military.
After some arrangements, Zhao Xu and Zhang Feng left the staff room and came to the back hall.
Zhang Feng sat opposite Zhao Xu and said, "The official family, Zong Ze's destination is Great Wall Ridge, staring at Jianingsi, Chu You's destination is Huizhou, staring at Xishou Baotaisi, and Zhong Jianzhong is in Jining's army at this moment, targeting the Left Prime Minister and Minister waiting for the military situation of Pingxia City, and he will take the opportunity to fight!"
Zhao Xu drank tea and said with a slight expression: "Is this different from the previous strategy of the Qing family?"
Zhang Qi looked solemn and looked bright, saying, "Yes. Shaanxi Sixth Road has carried out the disturbing farming and shallow attack for nearly half a year, not only invading and weakening the Xia Kingdom, but also confusing them."
Zhao Xu suddenly realized and said, "This time, do you want to go deeper?"
Zhang Qi said: "I have this idea."
Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, took the map beside him, pointed at him and said, "Six of the Twelve Military Offices of Xia people, and most of the other six places are empty. If it is a surprise attack, it may be of great use! Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Weizhou, and then to Lanzhou, or even Liangzhou, if the operation is done properly, you can attack in full..."
Zhang Feng was slightly shocked and looked at Zhao Xu's fingers passing by.
These states are all at the junction of Song and Xia. They are also the richest places in the Xia people. Others are except Xingqing Prefecture? They are either grasslands or deserts!
Zhao Xu looked at the map and stopped talking. He had been moved for a long time. To be honest, he was very coveted by these states? In addition to the carriages in Tiandu Mountain? Yanzhou is a major salt-producing area, Yinzhou and Xiazhou are even more rich and strategic!
The Song Dynasty got it? Not to mention its strength, it could also greatly weaken the Western Xia and take the initiative completely!
Zhao Xu’s trip is not as simple as boosting morale!
Although I was moved, Zhao Xu was still very calm!
He knew very well that the Song Dynasty now had no ability to destroy Xia, and even if it occupied these prefectures, it might not be able to do it completely!
"Are you sure?" Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Qing quietly.
Zhang Feng was shocked by Zhao Xu's appetite? He felt deep in his heart for a long time and was silent. He whispered: "Is there any, I have to try it out before I know it. Officials? Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhao Xu took a sip of tea? He smiled on his face? His heart flew.
If it can really be done, it will not only be as simple as expanding territory, but also completely turning the Song Dynasty will no longer have to worry about the Xia people!
In short, if you really do it, the benefits are beyond words!
After a long time, Zhao Xu raised his head and smiled, "I don't want to try, I want to make sure. Shaanxi 6th Road, plus Hedong Road, all depends on the command of Xianggong Zhang. Chenpi, come with a sword."
Chen Pi glanced at Zhang Qing, turned around and went out, and quickly brought a sword.
Zhao Xu stood up, took it, and pulled it out suddenly. There was some rust on the blade, but it was still bright and transparent.
Zhao Xu's face was serious, he closed with a bang, looked at Zhang Feng, and said in a deep voice: "This is the sword of Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizong failed in the Northern Expedition back then, and I deeply hated him. Today, I will hand over this sword to you. Holding this sword, as if I came in person, all the civil and military families in the north will take action first and then report!"
Zhang Qing's face changed suddenly. He looked at Zhao Xu, knelt on his knees, raised his hands, and said aloud: "My teacher, Zhang Qing will receive the order!"
Zhao Xu put the sword in Zhang Feng's hand, helped him up, and said, "I am in Qinzhou, waiting for good news from the Qing family!"
Zhang Qi stood up with his sword, with an unprecedented serious expression and said, "Yes, please wait for good news from the ministers!"
Although Zhang Feng said this, he was nervous and nervous.
What he thought before was to crack down on the Western Xia as much as possible and to gain three to five years for the "New Deal" in the Song Dynasty.
But what Zhao Xu was thinking was obviously not, he had to make full preparations for destruction of Xia!
Chenpi looked around, secretly shocked.
From this, Zhang Shi directly controlled the military power in the north, and his troops were as high as 300,000!
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been no such thing!
He was a little worried that Zhang Dun in the court gradually took power. With the official nature, Zhang Dun would sooner or later become an unprecedented powerful minister in the Song Dynasty, the kind who held real power!
Chenpi is not worried that these two brothers will rebel, but that if this continues, there will be more and more "powerful ministers" and generals holding heavy troops!
Even though Chenpi hasn't read many books, she still can't help but worry.
He glanced at Zhao Xu and tried to resist and didn't dare to talk too much.
Later generations studied the Battle of Pingxia City. Regarding the rare gift of the Shangfang Sword, only sporadic records of Chenpi's later years were found in complex historical books, unofficial history, personal biographies, etc.:
Ju said: Something can be done. The emperor said: Something is not the case. Ju said: That's why he was worried. So, he gave Taizu a sword and commanded 300,000 soldiers. The emperor did not doubt it.
Later generations discovered Zhang Jing's tomb and found some well-preserved moments. There was a passage on it: Today, people are the first in their minds in ancient and modern times, and they are not seen in exchanges. As for their courage, the Three Emperors have never been better than their right. The battle of Pingxia was the beginning.
...
On the third day of being surrounded, Zhang Feng left Qinzhou and headed to Qingzhou on the front line to further direct the front line war.
Zhao Xu did not stop either. The operation of the Imperial City Department and the Qingtianwei increased unprecedentedly. On the border of Song and Xia, the intelligence line within the Xixia was operating with the greatest strength.
Various news gathered in Qinzhou and was conveyed to various places.
The offensive and defensive battle in Pingxia City continued, and the Xia army attacked wildly at any cost.
The Empress Dowager of Xixia held the little emperor hostage, civil and military officials, and was not slow, and was only a hundred miles away from Pingxia City.
But the Queen Mother Liang seemed to be waiting for the news of Pingxia City's conquest, and actually stopped for a night and held a banquet, as if Pingxia City could be conquered tonight.
Queen Mother Liang was only forty years old and still had charm, but there was a faint look on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She looked around with irresistible dignity.
Most of the people here are Dangxiang nobles. The little emperor Li Qianshun is already sixteen years old. He looks calm and has a smile on his face. There is no loneliness or resentment. He is completely different from a puppet emperor who has been a puppet emperor for more than ten years.
Weiming Ashan sat in a relatively high position at the banquet. He drank very little and did not speak much.
He quietly observed everyone present, and Yu Guang looked at Li Qianshun from time to time.
At this time, he suddenly realized that the little emperor was definitely not simple. It is not something that ordinary people can do so!
Who doesn't know that the little emperor actually opposed sending troops, but from beginning to end, he didn't say a word. When he arrived here, he also had a smile on his face and was not at all anxious.
Weiming Ashan looked at Empress Dowager Liang again. The empress dowager looked at her proud and drank a little, but she still looked at the singing and dancing with joy on her face.
At this moment, a simple guard came in quietly and whispered behind Weiming Ashan: "Wei Mingbai is coming back."
Weiming Ashan's face changed suddenly, and then waved his hand calmly.
The servant quietly retreated.
Weiming Ashan tried his best to suppress his inner panic and silently picked up the wine glass.
It took him so long that he could easily find out who wrote the pieces of paper sent by the Song people.
As long as Wei Mingbai is not stupid, he can also guess it is him!
Therefore, Wei Mingbai must never come back!
Weiming Ashan knew very well in his heart that the Song people were warning him.
His face twitched, his heart was heavy, thinking about countermeasures.
Those present were immersed in the banquet and almost no one noticed his strangeness.
