Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 958 Wang Xiu is going to Shaanxi
What he wants is to steadily and step by step realize his grand plans and great achievements, one goal at a time, and it is by no means full bloom, underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.Going north is likely to lead to an uncontrollable situation. The Song Dynasty and the Jurchen entered a decisive battle, overdrawing the national power prematurely, leading to a complete collapse of the economy, and all the hard work of so many years was wiped out.

Just like his decision back then, if he could solve the problem completely, why should he wait until now? As early as ten years ago, he planned to unite the Khitan people. Impossible, but there is a glimmer of hope.

The reason why he didn't do it was because he saw the value of sacrifice. The Khitan people could no longer stop the Jurchen's madness, and the Song Dynasty couldn't do it either. For this reason, he witnessed the strife in the world, the suffering of the people, and even the people around him were sacrificed.

The major event has been half done, and the ship has reached the middle reaches, and what should be endured must be endured. How could accidents occur and ruin the great situation.

Zhang Qiyuan's wolfish ambition is crazy to the extreme, Wushu and even Jurchen's wise people, can't they see it?Perhaps, they saw Xia's destruction of the country and the threat of the Song Dynasty to the Jurchens, and the two evils are the lesser of two evils.

"Wen Shi, what do you think?" Cai Yi turned to ask Wang Xiu, the final decision-making power is still in Wang Xiu's hands, there is no doubt about it.

"What I'm thinking about is, even if it's a fight, can the battle be controlled so that a full-scale confrontation doesn't break out?" Wang Xiu's eyes fell on Wang Yuan, her eyes full of inquiry.

Why didn't Wang Yuan understand what was going on, it was clearly embarrassing, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Once the war starts, how to control it, it will never stop dying, if we can rush over, they will definitely take it back."

Wang Xiu didn't expect Wang Yuan to solve it either, he pondered for a while and made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately prepare the two armies stationed in Jingdong and Jingxi, and quickly send them to Shaanxi."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Now it is to guard against possible provocations by the Jin army. How can they still mobilize troops to advance westward? It is nothing to do?In case the defense system weakens, it may not be able to stop the possible attack of the Jin army.

Silence was the quickest to react. Wang Xiu was by no means a person looking for trouble. Weakening the defense force along the river would definitely not be a temporary idea, and I'm afraid it would have deep meaning.

Zhang Bangchang's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wen, Wen Shi, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't guard against the captives, I'm afraid, I have to think about it."

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Bangchang, and sighed a little in his heart. This prime minister is not a villain, but he is too weak. He patiently explained: "The main force of the captives, Xidiao, obviously doesn't want to make any big noises. The two The army was thrown into Shaanxi, and the soldiers and horses left behind were enough to deter them, and they did not dare to launch a southward invasion."

Wang Yuan was not very willing. It can only be said that it is enough to save twelve armies on the front line of thousands of miles. In wartime, the township army needs to be issued combat readiness.It is true that the transfer of two armies to the west will inevitably result in a lack of defensive strength. The use of local soldiers can certainly make up for it, but most of the mobility must be sacrificed, and twice as many local soldiers are required to guard, which is quite costly.

Besides, it is the fault of the West Army to fight against the party. It is okay to invest in four or five armies of the Northern Army. You can see the record of the Northern Army. What can the two armies do?It's just helping others, it's not what he wants.

"The defense along the river is already tight, and I'm afraid something will happen if we deploy troops." He could only use defense as an excuse to refuse to deploy troops.

"Didn't the captives also send troops to the north?" Wang Xiu asked back.

"However, they still have tens of thousands of horse troops eyeing them. Even if we assume that they won't go to war easily, we can't act rashly." Wang Yuan did not hesitate to contradict Wang Xiu, and to put it bluntly, he was protecting his own interests.

"It is necessary to transfer troops. After Zhang Tonggu leaves, I will go to the front line in Shaanxi. Everything depends on you." There are more than [-] imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, and this one he wants to break through. Let's see if Wushu dares to take the situation rashly under the general situation.

Cai Yi was stunned, and lost his voice: "Wen Shi, the Northwest War has not yet reached that level, and the affairs along the river cannot be separated from you."

"It's not necessary to leave anyone. Look at everyone here, whoever you leave, the world will continue as usual?" Wang Xiu glanced at everyone present, and said with a faint smile: "It's not that serious, and they are not fools. It is difficult to control the situation if you start a war rashly." , Ten armies are enough to form a deterrent. Shaanxi is adding two new troops, and it is also a deterrent to the attempts of the captives. If you dare to directly help the party members, I can fight you in the northwest."

northwest?Wang Yuan seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Wang Xiu in surprise.

"I don't know which two armies to transfer?" Zhang Suo added that there are differences between military divisions, and neither the tasks nor the establishment can be simply generalized.

Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and said: "The Xuanwu Army and the Xuanyi Army will also draw another 3000 archers from the township army, and another thousand elite cavalry who will not join the team."

Wang Yuan's face suddenly became even more ugly. The archers of the Three Thousand Township Army are easy to say. Both the Xuanwu Army and the Xuanyi Army are the main force of the Northern Army. Walking will have a great impact on the defense along the river.

Although there is no horse army transferred to the Northern Servant Army, the Northern Servant Army only has two horse army commanders, and the size of the establishment is not too large. Some people who do not join the army can be regarded as the horse army establishment, but there are no reserve personnel for war horses, so they can be transferred at once. Walking thousands of people is worrying.

"The Fifth Route Horse Army is not many. If you don't join the team, the effect is two to three thousand people. I'm afraid it will be thousands of people."

"What's wrong, you don't have any horses along the river, why don't you pull down Hexi and get on your horses and fight directly."

But he said that Wushu had changed his strategy, and he was also feeling uneasy. The Jin army actually mobilized more soldiers and horses than the Song army, and the horse army reached [-].

The entire Jin army that went south was only [-] horses, half of them were transferred, even if there were still more than [-] soldiers and horses, their strength was greatly reduced.In case the Song army launched a desperate counterattack and suddenly attacked the entire front, the Jin army might not be able to stop it.

After all, the Song Army also had two armies of eight or nine thousand horses, as well as magical weapons such as bed crossbows and divine arm bows.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Wang Wenshi is a cautious person, he will never go north rashly." Seeing Wu Shu's anxious expression, Zhang Qiyuan knew that he was afraid that Wang Xiu would send his master north, so he naturally offered words of comfort.

"No matter how cautious a person is, in the face of huge benefits, he can't withstand the temptation. At present, Wang Wenshi is also going north rashly, and I beat him into a mess." Wu Shu's playful face, no one knows better than him, the huge How long can a person persist under the temptation of the territory.
