Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 977 Xia Ting's Disagreement

Xia Jun gathered more than [-] elite soldiers and horses, ready to launch an offensive against the northwest camp of Dianqian Division, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are still arriving, which is powerful enough to defeat the Song Army.

Xiao Heda remained silent. It was a good opportunity for the Xia army to counterattack. As long as he could defeat the Song army's northwest camp, the entire east could be saved.

Let's not consider the Xiliang area for the time being. Didn't you see that the Song army is launching an offensive against Xiping Mansion?Two directions contain the main force of the Xia army, and the west can only rely on the Gansu Army Division.

Gan Daochong shook his head, and first said loudly: "Your Majesty's most urgent task is to stop fighting and make peace, and the fight cannot continue."

"It's all over, how can you make peace?" It's not that Li Renxiao doesn't want to, but he is very willing to turn hostility into friendship and give himself plenty of time. It's just that he is winning every victory, can he give you a chance to make peace?
"The Southern Dynasty has no absolute certainty. If Yanzhou can defeat the Song army after the war, he will immediately submit a form to become a minister." Gan Daochong said his own method, and he had to say that this method is possible.

Whether the Dianqian Division's northwest camp can persist is the key to maintaining the war in the five states. Once the Xia army can't be stopped, tens of thousands of elite horse troops will be released. With a thunderous blow from the Song army's flanks, the two camps will definitely block the battle. If you can't stop attacking from inside and outside, you will either be beaten to pieces, or you will shrink and retreat quickly.

The ingenuity of his plan lies in that when he defeated the Northwest Camp, he forced the Song Army East Road into an embarrassing situation, and immediately reconciled without complete elimination.

If you really annihilate the Song Army and the East Route Army, the hatred will be great, and the Great Song Xingchao will fight for face. This is something that Xia Guoli cannot allow. Even though the losses were heavy, they still had the strength to gather troops, but the party members did not have the strength to recover in the short term.

Therefore, he didn't have any doubts about defeating the Song Army's Jieqian Department. The key was to grasp the timing of the defeat, so that Song Xingchao felt that the price was too high.

Li Renzhong didn't think so. As a soldier, what he wanted was to eliminate the main force of the Song army, not to make an alliance. Gan Daochong obviously knelt down to ask for peace, and said coldly: "If it is the intention of the Prime Minister, why should I fight in Daxia? The whole country is attached to the east."

Li Renxiao frowned slightly. It was obviously impossible for the whole country to be attached to the east. Li Renzhong was obviously going to fight to the death, and it was not in line with his plan.Even if he doesn't believe that Song Xingchao can give him a chance, as long as the Song Army's East Road offensive is disintegrated, he believes that Song Xingchao will have to make a compromise.

Gan Daochong glared at Li Renzhong with hatred, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is also a man of excellence, why can't he see through the current situation? The loss of the Xiliang Mansion, and the difficulties in contacting the East and West Military Divisions of Great Xia, they started to confront each other again." Xiping Mansion's attack, coupled with the hidden danger of Xiao Heda, this fight can no longer be fought. May I ask, how many soldiers are there to fight in the country, and how much food and fodder are there in the warehouse?"

Li Renzhong was speechless after being refuted, and had to admit that Gan Dao Chong's words were justified.The Song army was powerful, and the Xia army was seriously injured. The densely populated Xia and Long states fell into war, and taxation was hit unprecedentedly.

The loss of Xiliang Mansion was a fatal blow, leaving Xia's army without a source of half of the army and horses, as well as the interruption of normal trade and the cessation of the annual gifts, which quickly caused prices to soar, and Xia did not have the capital for a long-term war.

Back then, although Yuan Hao had won many battles and won brilliant victories, the Song court had to admit the existence of the Xia regime.However, the long-term war has caused poverty in Xia territory, the people are in dire straits, and the national power is close to collapse. Never fight a protracted war, lest the gain outweigh the loss.

During the Zhenghe period, the Song army occupied most of Hengshan, causing Xia Junchen to panic. This is a properly protracted war situation, and they can't afford it!Several times to recover, facing the Song army's ready formation, he was really weak. Li Qianshun made the decision to attack Pingqiang City. Although Zhang Qiyuan instigated it, strategic disadvantages also played a big role.

Cao Price and Relai Gongji openly supported Gan Daochong's proposal. One of them is a Han Chinese, and the other is a well-learned party member. They didn't advocate Li Qianshun's adventure. it is good.

Li Renxiao shook his head, turned his gaze to Brother Cha, and asked in a deep voice, "Prince Jin, what do you think?"

Brother Cha is old and cunning, so he pondered for a while before saying: "The Southern Dynasty is powerful, and the Jurchens are sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, let us fight with the Southern Dynasty, and we must stand up in difficult times."

Li Renxiao was helpless for a while, what Brother Cha had said meant he hadn't said anything, everyone knew that the Song army was powerful, and everyone knew that the Jurchens had no good intentions.

Wang Shu glanced at Brother Zha in dissatisfaction, and said loudly: "The Prime Minister of the country is old enough to seek the country, but there is something wrong with it. The Southern Dynasty raised hundreds of thousands of troops and obviously wanted to destroy the country. How can they allow His Majesty to be attached to him? We can only fight to the death ,"

Li Renxiao nodded and said with relief, "Okay, is there a countermeasure?"

"Wang Wenshi of the Southern Dynasty once came to the front line, obviously for the Xiping Mansion, so we should concentrate our efforts to eliminate the main force in the middle of their invasion of Xiping Mansion, and let them suffer a little setback in the east. When the Southern Dynasty loses its vigor, the Jurchens will really intervene Mediation, then is the best time to get out of trouble." Wang Shulang said.

Li Renxiao nodded. It was his established strategy to lure Song Junzhong to the north, and he was very confident that it would be successful. Wang Shu's words were exactly what he wanted.

If he can annihilate the main force of the Song army in the middle of the north of Yaode City and the south of Xipingfu, he really intends to take advantage of the victory and stop the war decisively. At worst, he will show up as a minister and give the Song Dynasty enough face. As long as the foundation can be kept, there is no chance of taking advantage of the conflict between the North and the South to make a comeback again.

He is not a fool, he can see that the conflict between the North and the South is the mainstream, there must be a decisive battle between Song and Jin, and the Jurchens will not let Song destroy Xia, what he needs is a buffer.

He hated Li Qianshun a little bit, why did he give the Song Dynasty a reason to send troops, so that he had to deal with the mess and fell into a dilemma, unable to strategize and make full use of the conflict between the North and the South for profit.

All plans are quite dangerous. If he can't stop the new round of Song army's offensive, it is estimated that the Jin army who was intimidating the grassland by the Tianxiong army will become his deadly threat, and those fierce barbarians are simply a threat to him. nightmare.

Thinking about the dilapidated situation, he turned his eyes to Ren Dejing, and said indifferently: "What's the best opinion of Ren Qing's family?"

Li Renzhong rolled his eyes twice, Gan Dao rushed to glance at Ren Dejing.

Ren Dejing had to smile wryly, Li Renxiao deliberately asked for a strategy, to see that he valued him, but actually pushed him to the forefront, so he had to say sternly: "It is better to plan Yaode City, and safely destroy the two camps of the Southern Dynasty, and the east can be stabilized." Steady, let them get out of trouble."
