Jingzhao Mansion, in the palace of Li Liangzuo.
During this period of time, Li Liangzuo can be said to be much easier, the battle against the Song has basically come to an end, under Li Liangzuo's planning, the Xia army has been in an invincible position, and during this time, the Xia army's various departments have made rapid progress, and now the cities and all over Guanzhong have fallen into the control of the Xia army.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Zhuo is back and has already entered the city."
A herald came to Li Liangzuo to report.
Li Liangzuo said excitedly: "Quickly announce his entry into the palace." ” Xiao Zhuozi trotted all the way to Li Liangzuo and said: "Slave see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” "Hurry up and tell me how the harvest is" "Your Majesty, this time the minions seized a total of 25,730,000 stone of grain and grass from the Song army in Weiqiao Cang, which were stored in more than 3,000 ration cellars, each grain cellar stored about 80 million stones, and the rest of the weapons, armor, bed crossbows, arrows, and siege equipment were too many to count.
Although Li Liangzuo was already prepared in his heart, knowing that the harvest of this battle was huge, but he didn't expect it to be so huge, more than 25 million stones of grain and grass were piled together, with these grains and grasses enough to solve the food crisis of the Great Xia Empire, now the grain and grass stored in the Weiqiao warehouse is more than the grain and grass stored in the Luokou warehouse built by the Great Sui Dynasty, not to mention that there are millions of weapons, armor, bed crossbows, and arrows here, which are enough for Li Liangzuo to arm a million army.
And these are a drop in the bucket for the Song army, don't forget that the Song army's western expeditionary army has expanded to 800,000 troops, and there are more than 2 million logistics personnel, these people are all strong men, the Great Song Dynasty invested three million front-line manpower in order to destroy the Great Xia Empire, according to the consumption during the war, these grains and grass are only enough for three months on the front line, among the dynasties, only the Great Song Empire has enough wealth to arm so many troops and launch such an amazing war.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu's skills are superior, otherwise the Great Xia Empire may no longer exist."
Li Liangzuo said with emotion; "Little Zhuozi, do you know what the reason for the defeat of the Song army is?"
"The Song army lacked cavalry and had poor flexibility" "This is only the most insignificant aspect, the key to the failure of the Song army lies in the system, the Great Song Empire at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty Taizu Zhao Kuangyin designated the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, so the vast majority of the generals of the Song army are civilian officials, and they don't know anything about military affairs at all.
"Your Majesty means that Song Taizu's national policy is wrong," Xiao Zhuozi asked Li Liangzuo.
"Song Taizu's national policy is not wrong, what is wrong is the Song emperor of later generations, the Great Song Dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years today, and the world has already undergone earth-shattering changes, and the national policy of the Song Taizu period will naturally not work; The Great Song Dynasty supported the establishment of the country, at that time the world was at the end of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the world was in turmoil, and in just more than 50 years, the Central Plains Dynasty actually replaced five dynasties, and dozens of emperors were called kings, and the emperors of the world were changed like a marquee; In that era, having military power in his hands was the boss, and the power of military generals was too great, so Song Taizu chose to use civilian officials to curb the military power of military generals, so that Song Taizu could unify the Central Plains and end the troubled times; But this national policy is no longer effective today, the power of today's Great Song civil officials has surpassed that of military attachés, so that the Great Song Dynasty can prosper, but the Song army is facing a very embarrassing position because of the lack of military generals, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is not weak, but you let a sheep lead a group of lions, how can you beat a group of sheep led by a lion If I were Zhao Ji, the first thing I would do at this time was to change the national policy, improve the status of the generals, and then rely on the strong national strength to train an iron army, and the Tao is sweeping the world like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and my Great Xia Empire and the Liao Kingdom will not be able to escape the fate of destruction."
Li Liangzuo's short sentences said the reason why the Song army was vulnerable, the great Song Dynasty's literary style was prosperous and the market was prosperous, resulting in the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the officials were extravagant, and under this circumstance, the people of the Great Song Dynasty did not want to fight at all, but only hoped to live their own small life honestly, and there was no sense of crisis at all.
Li Liangzuo said the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, he also said the weakness of the Great Xia Empire in disguise, the Great Xia Empire and the Great Song Dynasty are just the opposite, the Great Xia Empire is based on martial arts, the ancestors of all dynasties are brave and good at fighting, and the Great Xia Empire survives in the gap between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao; This is especially true after Li Liangzuo took power, the Xia army has hardly stopped fighting for many years, although the domestic economy is also developing, but it has never been comparable to consumption, and the Xia army's battles are basically to feed the war with war; In the long run, the result is a reckless force, just as the Great Xia Empire is now facing a collapse.
But now the situation has been reversed, but that doesn't mean the end of the war.
Hangu Pass, because the previous pass has disappeared for no known how many years, so after Li Yue and Qin Hu led 30,000 troops to capture Tongguan and enter Hangu Pass, the first thing to do is to rebuild Hangu Pass, in addition to 30,000 troops, Li Yue and Qin Hu also captured a lot of people in the Great Song Dynasty to build the pass together, of course, these people are not free labor, Xia Jun will give them some compensation.
After this period of construction, now the Hangu Pass has been half completed, the towering city wall has been out of scale, in order to play the best defensive effect, the Xia army also built two solid fortresses on the peaks on both sides of the city, the role of the fortress is to form a three-dimensional attack surface when the Hangu Pass is attacked.
Outside Hangu Pass, 10,000 Song cavalry led by Chongshi Dao had reached 30 miles away, and led the army to hide secretly, and at the same time, Chongshi Dao also sent a large number of spies to Hangu Pass to investigate.
"General, the situation in the pass has been investigated, there are more than 30,000 Xia troops guarding the pass, and there are also 50,000 or 60,000 people building the pass, and now the pass has been built for the most part, and the Xia army has built a castle on the mountains on both sides."
After listening to the spies' report, the seed master said: "Although the Xia army is a lot more numerous than us, its forces are scattered everywhere, and our army is suddenly attacking the Xia army, the Xia army must be panicked and unable to face the battle, in addition, our army also has secret weapons such as earth-shaking thunder and rockets, so it is not difficult to recapture Hangu Pass; The herald ordered the army to rest on the spot, and attacked Hangu Pass at midnight today, and it must be taken in one fell swoop. ” "Yes, follow the general's orders" The camp of the Xia army in Hangu Pass.
Li Yue was discussing with Qin Hu about repairing the Guancheng, Li Yue said: "Now that the Guancheng has been built for the most part, according to the drawings given by the father, the fortresses on the mountains on both sides have been built, and the large bed crossbow of the Song army captured by the father will arrive in two days, and the Guancheng will basically be over, and then you and I can give orders to the father." ” "Master Hou, do you want to return to Your Majesty so much?"
"General Qin, what do you mean by this?"
"Now that the Song army is defeated, why don't we take advantage of this to advance eastward, maybe we can still go to Bianjing, and then the Hou Ye's credit will be a big drop."
