At that moment, Luo Shouzhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Luo Biao did tell his subordinates some things about Dayue. ”Tie Xi's eyes were deep, and after a pause, he spoke: "If I want to completely recover the lands of Dayue and Dali, how many troops, how much food, and how much time do I need. ”Tie Xi used the word recovery, just to tell Luo Shouzhen that this matter was imperative.These questions are not asked in vain, and Luo Shouzhen has not been idle in the past few days after returning to Tokyo.He had read all the contents of the Dayue side in detail in the military headquarters, and he had some understanding of that side.Hearing Tie Xi ask this question, a flash of joy flashed on Luo Shouzhen's face, isn't this what he has been doing these days?
”Your Royal Highness, the small people of Dayue are widowed, although they have geographical advantages, but in the face of muskets and artillery, they are also described as fictitious, especially in Dayue now, the regime is completely controlled by foreign relatives, and the country is in chaos. ”Halfway through Luo Shouzhen's words, he saw Tie Xi frowning, remembering that he had answered the wrong question, so he quickly rounded the topic back."
As long as His Royal Highness decrees, the minister only needs 50,000 elite soldiers, and in less than three years, he can recover Dayue, and if he gives the minister an extra year, Dali will definitely become the territory of my Great Song Dynasty."
After hearing Luo Shouzhen's last words, it was Tie Xi's turn to be slightly stunned, what Luo Shouzhen wanted was only half of what he thought.After Tie Xi was stunned for a short time, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "50,000 elite soldiers, recover Dayue in three years, and recover Dali in the fourth year, Lord Luo, you can really do it." ”After Luo Shouzhen listened, when he was about to issue a military order, Tie Xi said with a smile: "Lord Luo, you don't need to give me a guarantee so quickly, you still have to put yourself in your shoes and fight a dozen to know, and destroying Dayue and restoring my Great Song Mansion is a long process, but it is more difficult than using swords, and the army required is not just to destroy them." ”After Luo Shouzhen listened, he hurriedly responded: "Your Highness Shengming, it's easy for your subordinates to think about the problem. ”Tie Xi waved his hand, and then asked seriously: "Lord Luo, I will leave this matter to you, do you dare to fight?"
”After Luo Shouzhen listened to Tie Xi's words, he immediately replied aloud without the slightest hesitation."
Your Highness, as the general of the Great Song Dynasty, I dare not shirk His Highness's explanation, and if I don't break Dayue, the minister will never return to the court!"
Listening to Luo Shouzhen's words, it also made Tie Xi's blood boil a little."
Okay, okay, this is my right-hand man, Luo Shouzhen, I can give you 50,000 elite soldiers, and I will also let you control all the military horses in the three southern provinces.Give you ten years, but you have to do it, these words you said in front of me, if within ten years, you can really turn Dayue and Dali into Pingliao Mansion, then I will give you the title of Duke of the country, and enjoy the grace of the country for generations. ”Luo Shouzhen made a promise, and Tie Xi also responded immediately, telling Luo Shouzhen the title he had always wanted.After Luo Shouzhen heard Tie Xi's words, he was in a happy mood, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the minister must do his best to calm the south as soon as possible and not disappoint His Highness." ”"But the matter of the military formation, we must be cautious, the southern rivers are chaotic, there are many mountains and forests, we still have to think in the long run, you can choose the generals and elite soldiers you see in Beijing, in a word, I only want the result, but about the choice of generals, I can give you one person, Liu Lijiang."
Liu Lijiang was imprisoned by Zhao Zhen after returning to Tokyo because of the defeat of Renzong's early war with Da Yue, and when Tie Xi wanted to use troops against Da Yue, he ordered him to be released and gave him a vacant position in the military department, but Tie Xi did not summon him, not only Liu Lijiang, but also several other generals who had participated in the Great Yue War were also released.Liu Lijiang was in his thirties when he entered, in the prime of life, twenty years have passed, and now his temples are gray, Liu Lijiang can be said to hate the Dayue Kingdom that caused all this, and the most important thing is that although he can't fight, he has also stayed in Dayue for several years, and he still has some understanding of the main cities and terrain, and Tie Xi didn't plan to let him lead the troops, but was responsible for assisting Luo Shouzhen."
Yes, Your Highness.""
When Wei Chijiang came back from the south, I informed the imperial court of this matter, and ordered the southern provinces to prepare armor, grain and grass, Zhang Kang is now presiding over the new tax system in Fujian, and the preparation of grain and grass armaments can be entrusted to him.""
Yes, Your Highness.""
After you go out, you must first stabilize the rear, train the sergeants, let them get used to jungle combat, and then ask the local tribes to let them also bleed, and after pacifying Dayue, they can be given official land, in short, try to preserve the strength of our Great Song army."
Although Tie Xi didn't think that this battle would be lost, if he could reduce the losses of the Great Song Dynasty, he still had to reduce it, and for the Great Song Dynasty, human life was now the most valuable."
Yes, Your Highness."
Luo Shouzhen hurriedly agreed.Tie Xi became interested and talked more, and Luo Shouzhen also responded one by one.The two chatted very happily.Luo Shouzhen seemed to have forgotten the cold reception in the past few days.Tetsuki also seemed to have forgotten the previous Thunder Fury.Now, Luo Shouzhen is his general of Zhengnan, and the relationship between the two has become harmonious again.Tie Xi chatted with Luo Shouzhen for more than an hour.This made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel that something was wrong.After Tie Xi summoned Zhu Jinzhong, Han Qi, and Luo Shouzhen in the East Palace before, the Great Song Dynasty began the years-long battle of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Luo Shouzhen alone, and after chatting for so long, is it going to be a war again.In fact, officials in Tokyo are sensitive to this kind of information.Usually they deduce things from these clues with a high accuracy rate.…………………… Goryeo, Kaegyo.Zhou Xiao sat upright peacefully, while Li Ziqi kept wandering in front of him, very anxious.The situation in Kaijing is delicate.There is a deliberately made sense of tension, but if you look closely, you can feel the tension Everyone seems indifferent, and in the entire Kaijing, it seems that only Li Ziqi is ready to go to the battlefield, and no one else is willing to fight.Originally, under the urging of Li Ziqi, this Northern Expedition seemed to be inevitable, but no one expected that Zhou Xiao, the general sent by the Great Song Dynasty, would personally come forward to dissuade the lord of the country.After Li Ziqi stopped, he looked at Zhou Xiao and said coldly: "General Zhou, why do you need to say those words, if we don't give it a try, how do we know that we won't win, the words you say to the lord of the country now are telling the lord of the country, don't think about reunifying Goryeo in our lives, you obviously promised me before, why do you turn your face and don't admit it now."
Zhou Xiao chuckled and said: "First of all, General Ben has never promised you anything, secondly, General Ben is saving you, you really think you can beat Daxing Mansion, it's not a secret, General Ben just received a military letter from Pingliao Mansion to General Ben, three days ago, the army of the King of the Great Song Dynasty sent Daxing Mansion, forcing them to stop the operational deployment that was formulated, you want to unify Goryeo, why don't they ............"
Zhou Xiao said, and took out the military text sent by Pingliao Mansion to Zhou Xiao from his arms, Then slapped it on the table."
Li Ziqi, if you don't believe it, see for yourself."
Zhou Xiao slapped the military text sent to him by Pingliao Mansion on the table.But Li Ziqi didn't move.He looked at Bingwen and then at Zhou Xiao."
General Zhou, what do you mean by this?""
General Ben just wants you to know that this matter is difficult, Kaijing is not the opponent of Daxingfu, if my northern Song army does not have a large army, I am afraid that now, the army of Daxingfu has already arrived in the city.""
General Zhou, are you really a person who is a rat-eyed person in my Goryeo, Pingliao Mansion sent troops to block the rebels of Daxing Mansion from going south, is it really for our Goryeo, isn't it for yourself."
Li Ziqi roared in a low voice.Zhou Xiao looked at Li Ziqi's hideous face, listened to his explicit words, slapped the table angrily, and looked at him with a sneer."
Li Ziqi, you pay attention to your attitude when you speak, if you say such things again, don't blame General Ben for turning his face and recognizing people.""
Turn your face and don't recognize people, hmph, how can you turn your face and don't recognize people, kill me?""
If you want to go this far, General Ben can also satisfy you."
When Zhou Xiao spoke, he was already murderous.Li Ziqi also felt it, and he was a little panicked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he stared at Zhou Xiao like this, and the two confronted each other like this.The atmosphere was a little tense.After a while, Li Ziqi suddenly smiled, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "General Zhou, do you really want to kill me, even if General Zhou is dedicated to the country and doesn't talk about personal feelings, but General Zhou still has to consider the current situation, where is this, this is Kaijing, it's Goryeo, I'm the minister of Goryeo, the head of a hundred officials, you kill me, I'm afraid, you can't get out." ”Li Ziqi's tone softened, but in terms of language, he still warned Zhou Xiao.Zhou Xiao had already had murderous intentions towards Li Ziqi, but he had never made up his mind to do it.He also knew that even if what he said had weight in Goryeo, if Li Ziqi insisted on going his own way, no one could stop him.The situation in Goryeo is out of control in its own hands.If he didn't tear his face with Li Ziqi, or kill him, he wouldn't be able to think of any way to suppress Li Ziqi's idea of unifying Goryeo for a while."
Li Ziqi, don't forget, the last head of a hundred officials also died here, if you don't believe it, we can give it a try, kill you, will Goryeo declare war with our Great Song Dynasty."
Saying that, Zhou Xiao took two steps forward, and when Li Ziqi saw Zhou Xiao take two steps forward, he hurriedly took two steps back and widened the distance.He's though.
