Inside the Changshan Palace.
The three kings of Hebei Province gathered together again, the atmosphere in the whole study was very weird, there was a difference of opinion between the three brothers, Li Ke couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Li Liangzuo for instructions, and found Li Hao and Li Qing to come to discuss, Li Hao's attitude was against it, Li Qing's attitude was support, and now it was Li Ke's key vote.
"Lord Wang, an urgent letter from His Majesty for eight hundred miles."
The palace butler walked in and said.
Li Qingyi snatched the secret letter from the housekeeper's hand and opened it and read it, then laughed and said, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you two take a look, my father only wrote one quasi-word on the fourth brother's recital." ” Li Ke turned out to play: "Sixth, don't be happy so early, you kid don't have a big meaning in this quasi-word; Whether we are allowed to be open or sneaky and this is a secret fold, my father does not want others to know about this matter at all, although my father has allowed it, but we still have to act cautiously. ” "Fourth brother, what do you mean is that once something goes wrong, the three of us need to bear it independently."
Li Hao said.
"Yes, since we did it, we are obliged to bear it, but even if the time comes, my father will defend us."
Rick said.
"How big the risk is, how big the benefits are, you just see the risks in the middle, how can you not see the benefits, the father acquiesced to us doing this, which is equivalent to acquiescing to the benefits of our three brothers, you think about it, in our south is not the Liao army, but a group of bandits, we can use them to constantly attack the Great Song Dynasty, loot the population and wealth from the Great Song Dynasty, and then let them use these things to exchange goods and materials with us, we can even raise the price, Because we are the only ones who are willing to do this kind of business with them," Li Qing said with golden eyes in his eyes.
Interests, this is a temptation that everyone can't resist, supporting the Liao army is a great risk for the three kings of Hebei, but it also contains this huge wealth, for a vassal king, especially the vassal king during the war, having wealth is equivalent to having an army, and having an army has power, even if it is not needed now, it will be used sooner or later in the future.
After some deliberation, a secret oral agreement was reached between the three kings of Hebei, the content of the agreement was that the three kings were united and cooperated, and the benefits obtained from the exchange with the Liao army were divided according to the amount of the three kings' contributions, and the other 30,000 not only traded with the Liao army in the south, but also carried out secret trade with the Liao State, including grain, grass, cloth, salt, tea, silk, porcelain and other commodities, as well as weapons, armor, war horses and other important strategic materials.
From this moment, the three kings of Hebei have formed a community of interests, and this is also the beginning of the real take-off of the three kings of Hebei; After everything was discussed, the three kings began to cooperate with the Liao army under the head of Li Ke, the king of Changshan, and the two sides did not sign any agreement in order to keep it secret, only a verbal agreement, but this was enough for Yelu Renxian.
The Daimyo's Mansion, the line of Zhao King Zhao Yu.
Since the Liao army took the initiative to withdraw, the Song army did not pursue, so a buffer zone was formed between the Song army and the Liao army, the reason why the Song army did not attack immediately, in fact, was to accumulate strength and prepare to annihilate all the Liao troops going south in one fell swoop, but it was not easy to achieve this combat goal.
"The last general, Zhang Miao, visited the prince."
Zhang Miao came in and saluted Zhao Yan.
"Come on," Zhao said with a smile.
Zhang Miao said to Zhao Yan: "The last general was ordered by the prince to lead an army of 100,000 to come to reinforcements. ” "Okay, with this 100,000 army, plus the soldiers and horses under the command of this king, it is enough to annihilate the Liao army in one fell swoop."
Zhao Yan said excitedly.
"The prince can't."
The seed master objected: "Lord Wang, although we have defeated the Liao army before, it was just a fluke, and the only soldiers and horses who can really fight with the Liao army are those veterans who have fought with the Liao country; At present, more than half of our army are newly recruited, and the combat strength has been greatly reduced, how can such an army fight against the Liao army. ” Zhao Yan frowned and asked the seed master, "What should the general of the seed say?"
"Continue to be on the defensive, train the newly recruited soldiers, and then fight a decisive battle with the Liao army."
Seed Master Dao said.
Zhao Yan said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, a secret edict has been sent, hoping that we will end the war as soon as possible and return to the court, recently King Chang's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and the court has no money to support the next war, how to fight against the Liao army must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds." ” After thinking for a while, the seed master said, "Weichen has a note. ” "Kind of general say quickly" "Build the Great Wall."
Seed Master Dao said.
"Build the Great Wall."
Zhao Yan frowned and said: "The construction of the Great Wall is not an overnight thing, and this area is all plains, and the construction of the Great Wall costs a lot, and what this king wants is a plan for the Liao army that can be solved at the moment." ” Just when everyone was thinking of a way, a spy hurriedly ran in and reported: "Report, report, report to the prince, Tan Ma reported that he found that the Liao army was transporting a large number of looted materials by sea. ” "Sea Road" Zhao Yan frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yan suddenly said: "This king has a way." ” Zhao Yan brought the generals to the map and said: "To deal with the Liao army, we can divide it into two steps, the first step is to limit the scope of activities of the Liao army and cut off the grain route between the Liao army and the Liao country in the south, that is, our army to capture the coastal areas controlled by the Liao army; second, to establish a blockade line on the periphery controlled by the Liao army to block the Liao army in this small area; Without the corresponding logistical support, the Liao army could not support it for long. ” Zhao Ju's plan seems to be perfect, but in fact there are many loopholes, after all, Zhao Ju's plan is completely wishful thinking, and does not consider the reaction and countermeasures of the Liao army, not to mention that the blockade of the coast of the Liao army does not mean that the grain route is lost, and there is the Great Xia Empire behind them After listening to Zhao Yan's plan, the Seed Master Dao frowned and didn't say anything, it is impossible to say that the Seed Master Dao did not find the variables in it, but Zhao Yan is the noble King of Zhao of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and it is okay to oppose it once or twice, but if you oppose it this time, where do you let Zhao Yan's face go, after all, he is the commander of this army, and he has the most general decision-making power; Through this incident, it can be found that the master is also changing himself, becoming no longer reckless and upright, knowing how to be flexible, no longer a reckless man who only knows how to lead troops to fight, but slowly becoming a commander with political wisdom.
The next day, the Song army began to act, sent troops into the buffer zone, and implemented roundabout tactics to approach the coastal area controlled by the Liao army, the place that the Song army wanted to capture was a place called Wudi Town, which was located in the middle of the core area controlled by the Liao army and the sea from the Liao army's bridgehead south, as long as the Song army captured Wudi Town, it was equivalent to cutting off the Liao army's sea supply line, and cutting off the supply line of the Liao army did not necessarily have to occupy the entire coastal area.
