The rise of the prince

Chapter 475
This is of course true. The Wangfu does business with many big merchants. These merchants rely on Jingguo for their business prosperity. Will come home to book.

"Really, I also asked someone to buy cold forging armor, and I will arrive at the Kaiyuan Palace in a few days." Li Xingzhou said, the reason why he bought it was not because he wanted to wear it, but because he wanted to see the so-called best Xixia cold forging technology in the world. How the hell.

"I didn't think that Xixia, who was in a stalemate with Jingguo back then, was unparalleled in the world with three thousand iron kites, as fierce as a tiger, and now it is like this." He Zhao said with emotion. He had experienced the war between Xixia and Jingguo back then. And hair.

Wei Li is a warrior, and he has no scruples in speaking, "Master He, how hard is it to think about it? Xia Guojingzong Li Yuanhao is a hero. After him, there are also heroes in Xixia. They can accumulate the foundation of the country and shed blood for generations. When the foundation of the ancestors is destroyed, it only takes A generation of unsatisfactory descendants, this kind of thing is rare in the past and present."

He Zhao nodded, deeply convinced.

After listening to the emperor, he remained silent, his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Because Tang Zhou didn't talk much to the crowd, he carefully watched the emperor's every move.

Li Xingzhou went on to analyze: "The second type may be higher than the first type, but it is still unlikely, because it is difficult for Montenegro bandits to have so much money, and I have not heard of them robbing any big money in the past few years."

"As for the last one." Li Xingzhou paused when he said this: "Your Majesty remembers that there is a large piece of land between Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain. It is the old place of the Northern Han Dynasty."

"you mean"

"When Gaozu broke through the Northern Han Dynasty and the Yang family surrendered, Gaozu wanted to move the people to Guanzhong, but the people couldn't leave their homeland, so they refused to leave. Finally, Gaozu ordered the burning of Taiyuan City. He wanted to use this to force the people to move, and he also told them to burn the city. There are still thousands of people who would rather die than leave the city, and burn the city alive.

After that, Gaozu had no choice but to give up relocating the people, but thousands of innocent people were buried in the sea of ​​fire. "

Speaking of this, he took a sip of tea: "I have been thinking about who can gather the scattered black mountain bandits.

Then I suddenly thought, what if it is an old man from the Northern Han Dynasty?
Those who are dissatisfied with the new dynasty will miss the old dynasty. The more dissatisfied the Black Mountain bandits of the Taihang Mountain generation are with the court, the more they will obey the call of the previous dynasty and the descendants. In this way, gathering people is not a problem.

The most important thing is that, assuming that the people who gather the Black Bandits are descendants of the previous dynasty, and he only wants to fight against the court, then the Liao Kingdom in the north and the Xia Kingdom in the northwest will definitely be willing to help him secretly. It is just a trivial matter to provide swords, guns and crossbows . "

Speaking of this, everyone was stunned, and He Zhao stared wide-eyed: "You mean, this is not a disaster, but a disaster from the previous dynasty!"

"It's just a speculation, not sure, but for now, this kind of speculation is the most likely. It can explain the sudden alliance of the Black Mountain bandits and the unknown source of a large number of ordnance. As for the authenticity, it needs to be verified." Li Xingzhou said .

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and realized that the emperor's face became terrifying, so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

It suddenly occurred to Li Xingzhou that the emperor experienced Wu Wang's rebellion and was very sensitive to rebellion, especially when it was related to the royal family and nobles. If he wanted to call on everyone, it must be after the Northern Han royal family.

King Wu's rebellion is the eternal pain in the emperor's heart. He was terrified, humiliated and besieged the capital, many ministers rebelled, and his favorite son died in battle. The decades-long plan to conquer Liao was interrupted, and the long-cherished wish of the emperors of all dynasties came to naught.
"How are you going to deal with it?" The emperor asked coldly. He Zhao, Wei Li, Tang Zhouwei and others seemed to realize something and dared not say more.

"I am going to send troops in the twelfth lunar month to go deep into the Taihang Mountains and wipe them out in one fell swoop." Li Xingzhou said firmly.

Everyone was even more surprised. "It's winter now!" Wei Li said.

"I know that the opportunity is precisely because of winter, we all thought that we would not send troops, and the Black Bandits would also think that we would not send troops.

If they wait until the ice and snow melt, they will take the initiative to attack. The defense line in the north is so long, they will come and go whenever they want, and we don't know where they want to rob. It will take at least [-] to [-] troops to fortify along the foot of the Taihang Mountain!

Will the imperial court have any scruples about sending troops to attack Liao next year? "Li Xingzhou asked back.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Li Xingzhou sighed. He also felt bitter. He didn't know why he became a good person because of what he did. But now, he can't stop. He is the envoy from the north of Beijing!The safety of the people along the Beijing North Road is tied to him. If he does not act, tens of thousands of people will suffer and their families will be destroyed.

If the Black Mountain bandits take the initiative to attack in the spring of next year, thousands of bandits unite in one place, and the many villages and cities at the foot of Taihang Mountain will be devastated. deal with
Li Xingzhou smiled wryly, and spread his hands helplessly: "Haha, I also know the danger, but there is no other way. We only have this chance. People who have no foresight must have near-term worries. People can live a day-to-day life, but we can't.

If this matter is not resolved this winter, it will be a catastrophe for the world when the ice melts and the snow melts next year. At that time, we will have to increase the number of people by ten times, or a hundred times. "

He Zhao didn't speak, Wei Li lowered his head, "My lord."

Li Xingzhou smiled: "Don't be pessimistic, don't worry, there is no [-]% certainty, but there is [-]% certainty, and if it is not good enough, you can escape back. There is only one chance like this, and it is worth the risk for us."

"I don't agree." The emperor said suddenly, "I won't allow you to send troops."

Li Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Has the emperor thought about the consequences? If they don't send troops now, they will take the initiative to attack when the weather becomes clear. From the foot of the Taihang Mountains, they will go south from Changping along Danshui to Xu County, northern Jiangzhou, and then go north to Handan and Zhending Mansions." , This line of defense is thousands of miles away, and at least tens of thousands of troops can defend against it. If the army is transferred to these places, how can we attack Liao?

How to recover the Land of Nether Clouds?That is my long-cherished wish of the emperors of all dynasties, and now is the best opportunity. "

"I, I have my own way." He said bluntly: "In short, you are not allowed to send troops rashly. If you want to send troops, you will throw all the new troops in the capital."

Li Xingzhou explained: "There are tens of thousands of new troops, and if they are transferred over again, it will scare the snakes. The weather is cold, the food and supplies are heavy, and the logistics supplies are all delayed. Now it is the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and the daylilies are cold when the soldiers are transferred.

Soldiers are precious and fast. I have 250 new troops, well-trained, all of whom are elite soldiers. In addition, there are [-] well-trained Xiang troops in the forest, and [-] auxiliary soldiers. There are also a thousand people. They can fight! "

The emperor's expression remained the same, and he still didn't let go: "No, I don't allow troops."

Li Xingzhou took a deep breath, trying not to get angry, and his head grew bigger. This old man is here to make trouble!what the hell!This was the plan he had prepared for a long time.
