Chapter 227: Winter Offensive (Part II)


Li Liangzuo not only expressed the slightest expression of the huge losses of the Northern Liao army in the Battle of Jianshan, but also gloated; In fact, from the very beginning, the alliance between Western Xia and Northern Liao was extremely fragile, the two countries moved together because they had the same opponent, and now this opponent is going downhill step by step, which can be said to be a fatal blow to the alliance between Western Xia and Northern Liao.

Jianshan Battle Yelu Nerugu relied on a sudden attack to win a big victory, although temporarily defeated Yelu Hongji's Northern Liao Army, but the crisis of the Eastern Liao Army has not been completely resolved, in the face of the powerful Xia Army, the Eastern Liao Army is still staring at the huge pressure, so God has helped Nerugu a favor, the heavy snow has temporarily blocked the possibility of the Xia Army's attack, and the icy and snowy weather makes people can only cat in the room.

In these ten days, Li Liangzuo also rarely had time to relax, for this era, the emperor's leisurely days are nothing more than wine, food, and beauties; It is rare to have a few days of leisure, Li Liangzuo set up a banquet in the palace of Dading Mansion to reward middle and senior officers, and the soldiers of all departments also have good wine and food, and at the same time, they also issued a prostitute camp ticket to each of the soldiers.

Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, was also covered with snow at this time, and in the chamber of the Cabinet Mansion, Wei Ge Ning Ling summoned all the cabinet ministers, and Wei Ge Ning Ling said to everyone: "Ministers, Your Majesty has sent an edict, our Xia army has conquered Dading Mansion, seized countless weapons, grain and grass, and Your Majesty also asked us to do a good job in the compensation of the fallen soldiers; In addition, His Majesty attaches great importance to the white disaster situation in the Mobei and Monan areas, and His Majesty asks us to reduce the loss of herdsmen's property; What do you think about this?"

Financial Secretary Zhou Shengcai first said: "My lord, my lords, now that the imperial court has been fighting for many years, the treasury is no longer much rich, and now the remaining money and grain in the treasury can only accomplish one thing. ” Wei Ge Ning Ling frowned and said, "Lord Zhou, can't you think of a way?"

Zhou Shengcai said helplessly: "It's not that the lower officials are unwilling to think of a way, there is really no way to think about it, although the imperial court said that it conquered a large territory in the Mobei War, but this silver is also flowing out, Your Majesty built a city in the Mobei region, and trained the grassland army, which one does not cost silver, and it is not easy to save some silver in recent years, and now it has bottomed out, if it weren't for His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, there is no need to supply grain and grass, otherwise the entire treasury would have been empty." ” Zhou Wentai then also said: "Lord Wang, no matter what, the soldiers' pensions must not be missing, this is related to the prestige of the imperial court, if even the pension is not issued, who else will be willing to serve my Great Xia Kingdom in the future."

Wei Ge Ning Ling said with a sad face: "But this disaster relief can't be sloppy, if you don't get it right, it's easy to cause chaos, and now the grassland has just been annexed, if you can't help the disaster in time, this king is afraid of causing a commotion in all parts of the grassland."

Zhou Shengcai thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, there is a way for Weichen to arrive. ” "Say whatever you want."

Wei Ge Ning Ling said.

"What Xia Guan means is that the bereavement for the soldiers will be solved by His Majesty in the Liao State, and the imperial court only needs to deal with the white disaster."

Zhou Shengcai said to Wei Ge Ningling.

All the people present were smart people, and no one was a fool, so they naturally understood what Zhou Shengcai meant, and Wei Ge Ning Ling thought for a while and said: "Okay, this can only be done like this, this king will write an excerpt to His Majesty later, and His Majesty will decide what it should do."

A few days later, in the imperial study of Li Liangzuo in the palace of Dading Mansion, Li Liangzuo received the fold of the order of Wei Ge Ning, and when Li Liangzuo was full of sadness after reading the fold, Li Yi also walked in, Li Yi put a secret report on Li Liangzuo's dragon case, and asked Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, why are you sad." ” Li Liangzuo threw the fold to Li Yi and said: "What else can I do, it's all money; If you look at Uncle Huang's recital, I asked them to solve the two things of bereavement and disaster relief, but in the end, they told me that they could only do one thing, and the reason was that the treasury had no money; You say it's ridiculous, it's not ridiculous. ” "Your Majesty, I will see that what Uncle Huang said is the truth."

Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo; "Your Majesty has been fighting in the south and north for half a year, although it has laid a vast territory for my Great Xia Kingdom, but this money has also gone to the sea; According to the last general's office, the imperial court's investment in the grassland in the past few months has not been less than 10 million yuan, of course, including all the expenses of His Majesty's training of the grassland army and the construction of the city."

"Okay, Li Yi, you don't need to say it, you really don't know these things."

Li Liangzuo pursed his lips and said; "Forget about the bereavement service, I'll find another way."

"Your Majesty, there is a suggestion for the end."

Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo.

"There are things to say, there are farts, don't keep spitting."

Li Liangzuo scolded Li Yi with a smile and said.

"Yes."

Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo; "Your Majesty, the last general means that you can see if you can allocate a part of the loot we have captured to be distributed to the brothers below as a bereavement and reward."

"That's a good idea, why didn't I think of it," Li Liangzuo said in a flash of inspiration; "All these steppe men want is cows, sheep and women" After thinking about it for a while, Li Liangzuo immediately ordered: "Li Yi passed on my will, all the booty obtained in the territory of Liao, except for the army consumption, the rest of the spoils will be divided into half to reward the soldiers who went out this time, and the soldiers who died in battle will be doubled, and the other side will be returned to the national treasury. ” "Yes, the last general commands."

Li Yi took the holy decree.

Li Liangzuo didn't expect that it was because of his understatement that it would bring heavy disasters to the people of Liao in the future wars, and at the same time, it also made the people of Liao hate the Xia army even more; Of course, there are pros and cons, although the people of Liao hated the Xia army and Li Liangzuo, but this grassland army began to work hard for Li Liangzuo, and the entire grassland region began to truly integrate into the Western Xia Kingdom, and in the following time, the grassland area became the rear of the Western Xia Kingdom in the real sense, which provided a steady stream of war horses and warriors for the Xia Army.

Li Liangzuo suddenly asked Li Yi, "What are you doing again?"

Li Yi pointed to the military newspaper placed on the dragon case and said, "This is the emergency military information that Yipintang just sent. ” Li Liangzuo continued to say to Li Liangzuo: "According to the report of the spies, since the weather has cleared in the past few days, Yelu Nerugu's Eastern Liao army has begun to pack up, and the people of Yuzhou have also begun to pack their luggage, it seems that Yelu Nerugu may have to run. ” "Run."

Li Liangzuo frowned and said; "Where can he go?"

Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, do you think this is a conspiracy of Yelu Nerugu. ” "Conspiracy" Li Liangzuo frowned tightly and walked to the sand table and thought: "What kind of conspiracy will there be in the retreat?"

Today's overtime, even later, please forgive me:
