I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 331

At this time in Bianliang, even the scholars had to hang a sword around their waists as they did in the previous dynasty when they were having banquets.

It's nothing, because during this period of time, the frequency of good news can be used to describe the current battle against Xia.

First, the East Route Army joined forces to attack the Jialu River, and the enemy camps were pulled out one by one, and the camps belonging to the imperial court were built one by one, so that the scholars of Bianliang could talk about the Jialu River Basin clearly and logically when they had a banquet.

The first good news of killing five hundred people has long been forgotten... because, every subsequent good news is the beheading of hundreds of western thieves.

Immediately afterwards, the success of the West Route Army was even more astonishing. Guo Kui and Gao Zunyu led the army to take down Gaolan City...

I don't know the size of Gaolan City, but it is a city after all.

Since Emperor Taizong, how has the dynasty conquered the cities of Liaoxia?

And it was still a battle of cutting three thousand.

As a result, the entire Goulan wine shop in Bianliang lost the murmur of the dawn wind and the moon, and turned into the clang of gold and iron horses.

Zhao Xi said that no one wants to live without a backbone, and Guochao is not born soft, but there are no exciting examples. People have to hide their ambitions to expand their borders and live in luxury all day long.

The joy of the entire Bianliang also infected Zhao Zhen.As an emperor, how can there be a more glorious feat than expanding the territory?
What's more, this two-way offensive already has enough bargaining chips to attract Xixia troops. Qinzhou, where Xi'er leads the central army, is safer.

Zhao Zhen was truly delighted.

But the ministers in the court, whether it was Fu Bi, Han Qi, or Ouyang Xiu Zeng Gongliang, including the entire courtiers, really became worried at this time.

"Completely breaking away from the strategy drawn up by the court, what do this kind of er and Guo Kui want to do? If this continues, the court doesn't mind changing generals before the battle!"

"Duke Ming is worrying too much. The rapid attack from the east and the west is probably affected by the controversy of His Royal Highness. For many years, he has not had the right to make decisions on the fly. Now His Royal Highness is delegating power to show his combat power and prove that the defeats over the years are not the fault of the generals. Naturally. spare no effort!"

The words are a bit harsh, but there seems to be some truth to them.

However, everyone knew that the two of them would never have dared to act so boldly without the permission of His Royal Highness, the commander-in-chief of the front line.

It is not unreasonable for the courtiers to argue like this.Especially the ministers who understand the established strategy of the court, at this time, when they read the good news from the east and the west, every time they feel that the entire main battle line is about to shift... very worried.

Whether it's armaments or combat power, as well as the number of new troops, we all know that the center is the focus.

Once Xixia changes to a battlefield that the court did not expect due to the offensive from the east and the west, I am afraid it will be another defeat!
"Do you need to mention the frontline headquarters?"

Han Qi was also a little uneasy. It sounded like he was asking casually, but anyone could hear the worry in his words.

"Lets see……"

Fu Bi trusted Zhao Xi very much, and he didn't think Zhao Xi would let the situation get out of control.

Once it gets out of control, it will not only be a mistake in the court's strategy, but will also affect the court's foreign policy for a period of time in the future...~ This is the last thing His Royal Highness wants to see.

I don't want to lose my backbone, but this time His Royal Highness is looking for courage and straightening the backbone of the country. His Royal Highness will never lose.

On this point, Fu Bi still believed in Zhao Xi.

They all put themselves in the position of the courtiers of Xixia and thought about it. It stands to reason that with the current situation caused by the Third Route Army of the Kingdom and the fact that His Highness the Prince is in Qinzhou, Xixia should choose to attack Qinzhou.

But they are from Xixia, so they cannot be judged by common sense.

Their court is composed of the leaders of various forces. Although they have set up a government office similar to that of a national dynasty, in real wartime, it is those lords who are in charge.

Marching from east to west has really harmed the interests of the lord...

Whether it is the Commander of the Brave Army in the Left Chamber, the Commander of Xiangyou, or the Commander of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army, they all have considerable influence in the Western Xia Dynasty.

This made it impossible for them to judge which way Xixia would attack heavily.

"Has the Nori family ever returned to its former glory?"

"No, since he was suppressed by Wuzang Yepang and killed most of the elites of the family. Although the commander of the left wing is still in his hands, Li Liangjue has a lot of favors today. If he wants to restore his original glory, I am afraid it will take more than ten years. years."

"The same is true for the Yuzang family. The traditional forces are Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division, but because of the deep connection between the collateral and Tubo, they have been on the edge of the Xixia court for many years."

"From this point of view, Xixia's final strategy is still in the middle..."

The husbands looked at each other clearly, and it was a little relaxed.

When it comes to military affairs, even the so-called Han Qi and Fu Bi who know military affairs are definitely not considered everyone.In terms of tactics, even the real Zeng Gongliang is top-notch.

Putting aside the military affairs, put all the guesses on the court's tactics... ~ Xixia should have too many nobles, I don't want these two families to be brilliant again!

Qinzhou
Zhao Xi has been looking at the sand table these days, and every time he hears a good news about the east and west roads, he sticks a flag of a different color on the sand table.

Looking at it at this time, the Jialu River Basin is full of blue flags representing the East Road, but there is a green flag on the Gaolan side, which looks lonely.

And the flag representing the middle road, on the Killing Niu Ridge, pulled out two poles...~
"It's still not dazzled by the victory, and it's still a bit restrained..."

It's like talking to yourself, and it's like talking to someone.Zhao Xi didn't even lift his head, and continued to stare at the sand table.

There is no fighting in the middle road, one or two camps, a confrontation of hundreds of people, in such a big situation, there is almost no fighting.

"Notice that the east and west routes should be transformed from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive stage. Consolidate the achievements that have been made, rebuild and strengthen all the cities and camps that have been laid down, so that the territory of the kingdom will be expanded due to this campaign."

"Order the transportation department of the workshop city to quickly deliver cement and other related building materials to the newly built or reconstructed cities and camps with guaranteed quality and quantity."

"Order the construction department of the workshop city to contact the general of the country as the supervisor, select craftsmen, and let Li Jie fully preside over the construction of all border villages. It is necessary to form a complete new line of defense before the decisive battle."

"Order the east and west headquarters to speed up the capture of the stronghold connecting the defense line, and must complete the connection of the scheduled defense line within ten days."

"Order the workshop city to transport tiger squat guns and sufficient ammunition, and fully configure the newly built border villages to ensure that each border village can withstand five times the attack of troops, and the amount of ammunition can reach seven days."

"Order east and west, disperse and transfer troops, and must arrive at the encirclement and suppression battlefield within one month."

Zhao Xi was still staring at the sand table, but he kept giving orders.

"Your Highness, is there a decisive battle?"

Zhao Xi didn't choose a suitable person for the front-line command, but borrowed Qinzhou Han Jiang's staff, which is actually equivalent to tying Han Jiang to the front-line command.

"It should be almost there. Presumably Xixia's army has already killed Niu Ling by Chen Bing."
