Song Huizong was sitting there reviewing memorials.
In the past six months, Huizong had indeed changed his mind.
Not only was he no longer obsessed with exotic flowers and stones, he also began to pay attention to government affairs.
Looking at Song Huizong's changes in the past six months or so, some senior officials in the court were so excited that they often burst into tears.
Privately, they always said that it was God who blessed Taizu's appearance.
After hearing this, Song Huizong put down the memorial, stretched his neck, and said, "How many troops are Xixia and Wang Qing planning to send?"
Li Yan respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, Xixia lost nearly 100,000 troops before, so this time they only mobilized 150,000 horses from across the country.
Originally, Wei Chen wanted Xixia to lead troops to attack the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and attack the rear of Daming Mansion, but Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, did not agree, saying that he was worried that the Liangshan bandits from Weisheng would attack Xingqing Mansion, so they only agreed to send troops to attack Fen.
The prefecture wins Taiyuan Prefecture.
As for Wang Qing, he was very happy and mobilized his 300,000 troops to help the court attack Daming Mansion.
However, the court had to bear half of the food, grass and baggage of Wang Qing's army. " After hearing this, Song Huizong thought for a while and said, "Xixia's troops are limited, and it is rare to be able to gather an army of 150,000.
As for the sneak attack on the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, they can't be blamed.
After all, when Xia Prefecture was burned down by Liangshan, Xingqing Mansion has no barrier to rely on.
This Wang Qingdao is a bit beyond my expectations.
I thought he would be as unwilling to stay away from his territory as Xixia, but I didn't expect that he actually agreed to lead troops to attack Daming Mansion, which really surprised me."
After hearing this, Li Yan smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't know.
Wang Qing is extremely conceited.
He has long been dissatisfied with Liangshan today.
He thinks that Liangshan is a bunch of rabble, and it is just good luck that he can achieve this kind of success."
So after reaching an agreement with the imperial court, they offered to attack Damingfu, while the imperial court sent troops to attack Jeju and other places to share the pressure for him."
"Oh, you mean the attack on Daming Mansion was initiated by Wang Qing," Song Huizong asked curiously.
"Yes, it was Wang Qing who took the initiative to say it," Li Yan replied affirmatively.
Huizong thought for a while and said, "If he takes the initiative to attack Daming Mansion, isn't he afraid that after Liangshan is defeated, I will keep him together?"
"Uh, this" was asked by Huizong, and Li Yan suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, Wang Qing is the one who knows me.
As the emperor, how could I do such a despised thing?"
Song Huizong asked and answered to himself.
"Your Majesty is the Nine-Five Supreme Being, and of course he always sticks to his word.
It is normal for Wang Qing to choose to believe in His Majesty."
Li Yan flattered him slightly.
"Is the imperial army ready?"
After asking his friend Huizong, he looked at himself again.
"Everything is ready.
Two hundred thousand Western troops are ready to go.
On the Jeju side, the troops are led by Privy Tong who has rushed back.
Counting the soldiers brought back by Privy Tong, the total force deployed by the imperial court in the Dezhou area of Yanzhou, Jeju, is thirty Thousands of people.
The total strength of the three parties of the Xixia Wang Qing expedition against Liangshan is 950,000, which can be said to be a million troops.
Even if Liangshan is strong, it will definitely not escape defeat," Li Yan said confidently.
After hearing this, Song Huizong nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "A million-strong army, if we fail again this time, the Song Dynasty will really be unable to compete with it."
Song Huizong also knew that in order to prepare for this war, the court's manpower and material resources were almost exhausted.
In recent years, the treasury has been empty due to the continuous campaigns.
It would be better if they could win every campaign, but they failed every time.
Not only was money wasted in vain, but also troops were lost.
The most irritating thing is that once Liangshan was attacked, the imperial court made Liangshan stronger again.
It was simply a shortage of troops, so the imperial court sent troops and major generals.

This is simply unreasonable Nanfeng City, the capital of the Puppet Chu Kingdom.
At this time, Wang Qing was discussing matters with the civil and military officials.
"Why did the Prime Minister ask me to propose to the court to lead troops to attack Daming Mansion in the first place?
You must know that if we break the Daming Mansion and Mr.
Huizong goes against his promise and cuts off our retreat, wouldn't it be asking for death?"
Wang Qing asked Li Assistant who was sitting aside.
Since the uprising, Wang Qing has recruited many capable people, such as Li Zhu, Du Bo, Feng Tai, Mi Sheng, Ji Shan Five Tigers, etc.
In addition to Duan Er, Duan Wu, Fan Quan, Fang Han and others who were together before, it can be considered that there are a lot of talents with both civil and military skills.
Li Zhu smiled slightly and said with the expression of a worldly expert, "This is also for the future of the king.
Your Majesty, you might as well think about it.
This time, nearly a million troops from the three parties are attacking Liangshan.
There is no doubt that Liangshan will be defeated.
And Xixia and the Western Army of the imperial court jointly attacked the Weisheng area.
If we also attack Gaizhou with them, victory is certain, but what happens after the victory?
Liangshan was wiped out, and we could only return to Nanfeng obediently.
We tried our best to lose troops, but in the end we only got an empty promise recognized by the court.
As for the property donated by the court, it was not worth mentioning at all.
But it will be different if we attack Daming Mansion.
As long as we can capture Daming Mansion, we will be able to easily gain a foothold in Daming Mansion with our 300,000 troops.
Moreover, Daming Mansion is the capital city where Liangshan is preparing to found the country.
There must be countless gold, silver, money and food in the city.
You must know that Daming Mansion is already rich, and coupled with the property Liangshan has looted for many years, the amount must be terrifying.
When the time comes we need people, money and food, so we can take advantage of the situation.
All we need to do is leave a hundred thousand troops to garrison Daming Mansion, and send a few generals to the north to capture other areas in Liangshan.
By then, the prosperity of Chu will be just around the corner."
After hearing this, Wang Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, he slammed his chair and praised loudly, "Wonderful, really wonderful.
Except for Daming Mansion, the other cities in the north of Liangshan now have very few troops.
By then, we can occupy it without any effort.
Haha, if we successfully capture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and the entire Northern Territory in one fell swoop, then I, Da Chu, will really be invincible, hahahaha."
Hearing the beautiful blueprint Li Zhu drew for himself, Wang Qing couldn't help but laughed wildly.
The other people sitting below also looked happy, feeling that this matter had great potential.
Although there would be certain risks, since ancient times, wealth has been gained through risk.
Compared with the rewards, this risk is completely negligible.
Just when everyone was secretly happy, Du Bo, who was sitting first on the right, frowned slightly.
This Du Bo was Wang Qing's first general and commanded the entire army.
He was accustomed to wielding a snake spear that was eight feet long, and he had the courage of ten thousand men.
In the original work, Du Bo and Lu Junyi fought for more than 50 times without deciding the outcome.
Sun An saw that Lu Junyi could not win and came to help.
Lu Junyi and Sun An joined forces to kill Du Bo.
This shows the greatness of Du Bo's martial arts.
Du Bo sat there and frowned, always feeling that this matter was not as simple as Li Zhu said:
