Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Soon, the news that Xixia and Qingtang were preparing to attack Song Dynasty again was immediately sent back to Bianjing.

"Xi Xia is really evil!"

Inside the Chui Gong Hall! Zhao Xu said in shock and anger.

Xixia was like a hungry wolf, staring at Song Dynasty. When it was strong, it would bite Song Dynasty hard. When it was weak, it would keep pulling in helpers to deal with Song Dynasty together. Zhao Xu originally thought that Xixia had just conquered Song Dynasty. Defeated, it would be dormant for a few years. Unexpectedly, it was impossible to wait to attack Song Dynasty again the next year.

In the past, Xixia's biggest helper was the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Song Dynasty used the interests of the Silk Road to fetter the Liao Kingdom, Xixia turned around and enlisted Qingtang to jointly deal with the Song Dynasty.

"Xixia is naturally unwilling to accept the defeat of Pingxia City. According to the news from Liang Yibu, Xixia promised the six states of Xihe to Aligu and married Aligu in exchange for Aligu sending troops." Lu Dafang said with a frown.

Zhang Dun sneered and said: "Ali Gu really cares about eating but not fighting. Back then he attacked Xihe and was defeated.

The six states of Xihe are strategically important, and Qingtang has long coveted them. They had jointly sent troops with Xixia back then, but were defeated by the Song Dynasty. In the end, Ali proclaimed his vassalship, and then escaped. Unexpectedly, A few years later, Ali Gu recovered his strength and once again planned the six states of Xihe.

"Ali Gu relied on the plateau air epidemic, and the Song Dynasty had nothing to do with it. It was nothing to fear!" Su Song said helplessly.

"Air plague!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh. The land of Qingtang is located on a plateau. Whenever the Song army attacked the land of Qingtang, they would be exhausted, their limbs would be sore and weak, and their breathing would be rapid. In severe cases, they could even die, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Those who fought in all directions in those days The Tang army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Qingtang area. The Song Dynasty's military force was weak, and it mainly tried to appease Qingtang. It did not investigate its intrusion at first, and did not expect that Qingtang would repay kindness with revenge.

"Now that two countries are attacking us, I wonder if you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy."

"Shaking thunder!"

The three prime ministers said in unison.

Nowadays, Zhentian Lei has become the well-deserved trump card of the Song Dynasty. The cost of a Zhentian Lei is less than the usual amount, but it can easily kill several enemy troops and interrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack. It is an unparalleled weapon for defending the city.

"Fan Aiqing, can the Thunderbolt created by the Ordnance Inspector be used for the second Song-Xia war?" Zhao Xu immediately asked Fan Zheng who was standing aside.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "For the record, in the Battle of Pingxia City, due to time constraints, only nearly 10,000 thunderbolts were made. Now it has been about a year, and the weapons supervisor has never stopped making thunderbolts. Thunder.""

Based on the current reserve of Sky Thunder in the Song Dynasty, each road adjacent to Xixia can supply at least 50,000 Sky Thunder. Castles in special locations such as Pingxia City even supply large amounts of Sky Thunder. Once war comes, If adjacent roads support each other, they can gather more than 100,000 sky-shaking thunders, enough to drink a pot of Qingtang and Xixia armies. "

"One hundred thousand sky-shaking thunders!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be very satisfied! One hundred thousand thunderbolts only cost 100,000 yuan, which was nothing compared to the huge military expenditure. There were so many thunderbolts that were enough to cause heavy losses to the invading enemy.

"Congratulations to the officials, the Song Dynasty will definitely win this battle! This time, Xixia will definitely lose its troops and generals!" Zhang Dun said proudly. He himself has a very strong character. Now the Song Dynasty is fully prepared, enough to make Xixia suffer a bloody blow. He made a plan in his mind on how to counterattack Xixia.

Lu Dafang and Su Song also nodded. Xixia has always been a major concern for the Song Dynasty. Every time there was a war, the Song Dynasty was tired of dealing with it and spent a lot of money and food. Now with the thunder, the Song Dynasty has increased its military force. The gap has been greatly made up, and Xixia is no longer afraid.

At this moment, following Zhao Xu's order, a large number of thunderbolts were secretly sent to Xihe and other roads, focusing on guarding against attacks from Xixia and Qingtang.

Sure enough, as more and more intelligence came in, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia directly claimed to mobilize an army of one million to defeat the Song Dynasty in one battle.

Suddenly, the war between Song and Xia resumed.

"An army of one million!"

Suddenly, the whole world was in an uproar.

You must know that even the several wars between Song and Liao did not have such a large-scale military strength. This time, Xixia can be said to bet on the fate of the country!

If Xixia wins this battle, the Song Dynasty will definitely be hurt. If Xixia loses this battle, it may not be able to threaten the Song Dynasty again in the future.

At the same time, all roads in the northwest immediately stepped up their military preparations and strengthened their walls to clear the country in order to prepare for the Xixia attack. Among them, Pingxia City, which was the most strategically located, was naturally the top priority.

The situation between Song Xia and Fan Mansion also worried Li Qingzhao.

"Don't worry, Madam? The Xixia country has a population of only four million. How could it possibly lead a million troops to attack the Song Dynasty? According to Xianggong's guess, its military strength, including the civilians, is only three or four hundred thousand. Otherwise, the logistics alone would be enough to bring down the country. Xia Army." Fan Zheng consoled him. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers eating horses and chewing horses every day was an astonishing number. Even the Song Dynasty could not afford it, let alone Xixia, which was weak in national power.

When Li Qingzhao heard this, she was not happy but worried. Whether it was one million troops or three or four hundred thousand troops, there was not much difference to her.

"It is widely rumored that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang came to attack with the whole country's troops this time to avenge the defeat of Pingxia City last year. Will my husband still supervise the army in Pingxia City this year?" Li Qingzhao asked worriedly.

Fan Zheng looked at Li Qingzhao in surprise and said: "Your husband-in-law is a doctor. Last year's battle in Pingxia City was to verify the evil recipe of Thunderbolt, Divine Arm Crossbow and Bastion. Since the evil recipe is effective, other doctors can follow it." Just take the medicine and you don't need to prescribe it yourself."

"My lord, do you think Xia City can hold on to this draw?" Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows.

You must know that in the battle of Pingxia City, Xixia returned with a huge defeat, so they must try their best to break Pingxia City's tactics.

Fan Zhengxin said: "If you want to break through the bastion tactics and avoid the lethality of the thunder, you must use long-range weapons to attack. This is probably Xixia's trump card, and the biggest weakness of Pingxia City back then was that the city wall was too thin. Now, after a year of repairs, Pingxia City’s biggest shortcomings have been repaired. In addition, Pingxia City now has a large stockpile of Zhentian Lei. If you want to attack Pingxia City, I’m afraid Xixia cannot afford such a price.”

Pingxia City was the most important stronghold for the Song Dynasty to attack Xixia. The Song Dynasty naturally paid special attention to it, and the bastion was an effective tactic that had been proven in countless actual battles. How could it be done if it was well prepared? Easily breached.

"Moreover, the weapons inspector has created a lot of good things, and I have placed them in Pingxia City. This time, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang will definitely fail in Pingxia City again." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Good stuff?" Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sigh. The good stuff from other places must be or may be really good, but the good stuff from the Ordnance Prison may not necessarily be good.

"By the way, how did your husband know that Xixia's goal was Pingxia City?" Li Qingzhao said in surprise.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Because the purpose of establishing Pingxia City is to make Xixia bleed continuously and quickly get rid of it."

As everyone knows, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's target must be Pingxia City, but the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang continued to set up a maze of formations. First she made a feint attack on Hedong Road and Yanyan Road, and finally gathered her troops and once again came to Jingyuan Road and besieged it. Pingxia City.

At the same time, Aligu of Qingtang saw that Xixia was powerful and thought he could take advantage of it. He showed his anti-bone fangs again and sent 100,000 troops to plunder the six states of Xihe.

Qingtang and Xixia jointly attacked the Song Dynasty! The war is about to break out.
