Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Can you confirm which team it is?" Zhang Jun asked.

"Forgive me, Mr. Zhang. It's getting late and we can't investigate, but what is certain is that the enemy army is heading north."

"Going north?" Liu Ziyu took the words, "Are the Xixia people deliberately luring us to divide our troops?"

"We can't rule out this possibility." Lu Zhi said, "However, we just arrived at the city of Lingzhou today, and a Xixia army appeared. In my opinion, it may not be reinforcements."

"You want to say that it might be the defeated soldiers of Youzhou?" Liu Ziyu asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Our army won a great victory in Yuzhou, and it is impossible to completely wipe out the enemy."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and pursue!" Liu Ziyu said hastily.

All eyes fell on Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun said: "Don't be in a hurry to pursue, even if you are defeated, you won't pursue."

"Why?" Liu Ziyu continued to ask.

"They fled to Xingqing Mansion, Jingzhou and the Xixia army. If they pursue them, they may be ambushed by the Jingzhou Xixia army, which will affect the morale of our army. Now the overall situation is to besiege Lingzhou and wait for the Xixia people to come to rescue them." Zhang Jun Said, "I think a sentence that His Majesty often mentions makes sense."

"What?"

"We must let the enemy move, and the enemy will move, so that we will reveal our flaws, instead of us going to follow the enemy and going deep into the enemy's territory."

The crowd nodded.

Zhang Jun said again: "Wait patiently. Now that Lingzhou is besieged, it is the Xixia people who should be anxious, not us."

On the morning of the [-]th, Zhao Ning arrived in Yanzhou.

Looking at Li Qianshun's body, Zhao Ning was full of emotions for a while.

It was the first time he met Li Qianshun, and he did not expect to meet in this way.

Zhao Ning suddenly asked Sun Fu: "I heard that Li Qianshun often read the classics of the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, not only read the classics of the Song Dynasty, but also often study His Majesty's books."

"He still reads my book?"

"I can't put it down. I always have to discuss the mysteries with my ministers, and I often feel the profound wisdom of the officials." Sun Fu said truthfully, "And also referred to His Majesty's words, implemented some reforms in Xixia. Li Qianshun's admiration for Huaxia is extraordinary. Ordinary, the admiration for His Majesty is extraordinary."

Zhao Ning sighed, and said: "Li Qianshun can be regarded as the master of the Ming Dynasty. I have no personal grievances with Li Qianshun, but the Great Song Dynasty and Xixia have had grievances for hundreds of years. This battle must be fought. There is no right or wrong between me and him. Not an official family in the world, Li Qianshun is not Lord Xia, maybe I will be good friends with him."

When Zhao Guanjia said this, the others were all moved.

I can't help feeling that Zhao Guan's family has clear grievances and grievances, and I feel admiration in my heart.

The grievances and grievances are clearly convincing.

Zhao Ning said: "Fury Li Qianshun, and then order someone to repair the tomb in Tokyo."

Sun Fu said: "Your Majesty is wise, so that the barbarians in all directions can know that the Son of Heaven is lenient and benevolent, so that the world will return to its heart."

"Wei Xiang, Yang Zheng!"

"Chen is here!"

Wei Xiang and Yang Zheng stood up immediately, their voices trembling.

This was the first time they saw the emperor, and they were so excited.

"You and all the soldiers of the Divine Guard have done a good job, and I will reward you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You said in your letter that the name Anhui was also arrested by you?"

"Yes, in the city."

"Bring it up, I want to see him."

Not long after, the Wei name An Hui was brought up.

He saw a man in his thirties sitting in the middle, with a majestic expression and an extraordinary bearing, and the officials and generals around him surrounded him like stars, so he guessed his identity.

"The foreign minister's name is Anhui, see the emperor, long live!"

Wei Ming An Hui directly knelt down.

Zhao Ning didn't ask him to excuse him, but sat there and looked at Wei Ming Anhui, and asked calmly, "I heard that you were Li Qianshun's prime minister before?"

"Yes."

Chapter 1082 Turmoil in Xingqing Mansion (Second Change)

"You should know the deployment of troops around Xingqing Mansion, right?"

"I know!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Lingzhou?"

"fifty thousand!"

"What about Jingzhou?"

"fifty thousand!"

"What about Shunzhou?"

"fifty thousand!"

"Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

"Foreign ministers absolutely dare not deceive the emperor."

"Of course I believe you, but it seems that your King Pu Li Renzhong is also in my military camp. After asking you, I will go to him to verify it alone. If there is any discrepancy between what you said and what he said, I will only I can trust him!"

Wei Ming Anhui broke into a cold sweat, thinking in her heart, isn't this dog emperor cheating on me?

Does King Pu know about the deployment of troops?

"Are you wondering in your heart that it is impossible for King Pu to know the deployment of troops?"

"Foreign ministers dare not."

"King Pu doesn't know how many troops there are in Helan Mountain, or how many troops there are in Lingzhou, but Jingzhou or Shunzhou, at least know one. If there is a way out from what he told you, I guarantee that the soldiers of the three armies will be able to see it when they raise their heads. Your head!"

Wei Ming Anhui was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed and shouted loudly: "The emperor, please forgive me! The minister made a mistake just now!"

"Remember now?"

"Remember!"

"Speak!"

"There are [-] soldiers in Helan Mountain, [-] in Shunzhou, [-] in Jingzhou, [-] in Lingzhou, [-] were transferred later, and [-] are left. Xingzhou still has [-] soldiers and horses. In addition, Heishan Weifu There are [-] troops in the army, [-] in Dingzhou and Baimaqiang, and [-] in Hexi."

Including the strength of the previous Hengshan defense line, the total strength of Xixia is really nearly 50.

Looking at the deployment of Xixia's troops, it seems that they are all set up to defend the Xingqing Mansion.

The state system of Xixia is very special. The party members ruled the country, appointed Han people, and implemented Han rituals, but at the same time maintained the traditions of the party members.

This kind of small clan survives between the two superpowers, so it is necessary to maintain its military strength, with security as the first priority.

However, in a country with a population of more than 300 million, if it wants to maintain a force of 50, it is impossible to have a recruitment system, and basically there is compulsory military service.

Unlike the professional army of the Song Army, Xixia soldiers were farmers, craftsmen, herdsmen, miners, and even merchants when they were not fighting.

"Li Qianshun is dead, who will succeed Xingqing Mansion?"

"Prince Li Renxiao is 14 years old this year."

"Do you know where Brother Li Cha is?"

"The foreign minister doesn't know."

"Then how long do you think it will take me to win Xingqing Mansion?"

"It will be very difficult for the Son of Heaven to win the Xingqing Mansion."

"Why?"

"Xingzhou City is as solid as gold, and the emperor has come here with all his troops. My lord has written a letter to the Jin people, and the Kingdom of Jin will soon intervene." Having said this, Wei Ming Anhui became confident.

Zhao Ning said with a normal expression: "It's normal and reasonable for you to expect the Jin people to save you. If the Jin Kingdom learns that I am pouring troops, they will definitely not be able to sit still. They may be like the Liao Kingdom back then. , sent envoys to Bianjing to put pressure on Song Dynasty."

Hearing what Zhao Guanjia said, Wei Ming Anhui was a little surprised, Zhao Guanjia knew it?

"If the Great Song Dynasty refuses to allow the Jin Kingdom to withdraw its troops from Xixia, the Jin people will force me to withdraw my troops on the grounds that they will press heavy troops into Hebei and let me fight on two fronts."

Wei Ming Anhui didn't make a sound, she was acquiescing to what Zhao Guanjia said.

"If the Jin army goes to Hebei with heavy troops, I really can't stand it. After all, fighting is not a child's play, and I have to keep an eye on the treasury."

"The Son of Heaven is wise." Wei Ming An Hui immediately stepped down the steps of Zhao Guan's house.

"But the good thing is that the Jin people don't know how to send troops, and there is no time to send troops." Zhao Ning smiled, "The Jin people should have learned that the Song Dynasty attacked Xixia by now, and even thought about how to extort a sum of protection money from Xixia. The court threatened me."

"Unfortunately, by the time the Jinren realized it, Xixia had already disappeared from this world."

"This……"

"Your name is Anhui, I will give you a chance, you go to Xingqing Mansion now, and persuade Xingqing Mansion to put down their weapons and surrender, I can pardon everyone, do you want to be a hero of Song Dynasty?"

This is the best strategy Zhao Ning can think of, a strategy to kill less of his own people.

As for how to deal with the party members in the future, there are too many ways.

Wei Ming Anhui was startled, did she have a chance to return to Xingqing Mansion?

He immediately responded: "Son of Heaven, Shengming, what should foreign ministers do?"

"I still need to teach you how to do it, so why do I need you?"

"Yes! The foreign minister understands that the foreign minister will mobilize his own power in Xingqing Mansion to force Xingqing Mansion to surrender!"

"As long as you do it, I will definitely not be able to do without you for your official position!"

"The foreign minister thanked the emperor!"

Wei Ming Anhui left Yanzhou with an eager heart.

Sun Fu asked: "Officials, is the name An Hui credible?"

"Have you ever heard that Brother Li Cha was caught?"

Sun Fu shook his head: "No."

"As far as I know, Brother Li Cha fought against Liu Kai at that time, but he maintained the main force. Wei Xiang said that Brother Li Cha passed by Yanzhou, but he was not tricked into the city, which means that Brother Li Cha returned to Xingqing Mansion .”

"Yes."

Zhao Ning also said: "Brother Li Cha's biggest enemy in the court hall is Wei Ming Anhui, letting Wei Ming An Hui go back is to immediately cause internal chaos in Xingqing Mansion, instead of letting Brother Li Cha speak up."

It seems that Zhao Guan's family really used all the shit in the latrine.

Really make the best use of everything!

At noon on the [-]th, when Brother Li Cha was rushing to Xingqing Mansion, Ren Dejing had already arrived at Xingqing Mansion first.

The first thing Ren Dejing did when he arrived in Xingzhou was to solemnly announce the defeat of Youzhou.

In fact, in the past two days, some scattered people had fled back to Xingzhou.

The news of Lord Xia's defeat in Youzhou has spread outside, but no one dared to answer this question directly.

So people didn't dare to mention it indiscriminately, at least no one in the court dared to speak indiscriminately. If they made a mistake and were caught, no one was willing to take responsibility.

Until this day, Ren Dejing returned to Xingzhou.

Before Ren Dejing went out to fight, he was by Li Qianshun's side, and the news he brought back was the most accurate, and no one would doubt it.

Of course, the first thing Ren Dejing did when he returned to Xingzhou was to ask his confidants who were placed in the palace to arrange for someone to kill the crown prince Li Renxiao.

This is a great opportunity for Ren Dejing to kill the prince and let his grandson ascend the throne.

So what if his grandson is only one year old?

The second thing is to persuade Li Renyi, the deputy commander of the iron kite.

Ren Dejing said to Li Renyi: "Your Majesty, the situation may have been more than good. Now that the army of the Song Dynasty is overwhelming the country, we must welcome the new king to the throne and stabilize the government, so as to fight against the Song army."

"Why did Mr. Ren say such a thing, His Majesty still has elites around him."

"Your Majesty suffers from an unmentionable illness, and I'm afraid he's mentally exhausted. I'm also thinking about Daxia. If the political situation in Xingzhou becomes unstable, wouldn't it be easier for the people of Song Dynasty?"
