In the Yongwang Mansion of Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong, attacking the land of Sichuan and Shu is not conducive to making Li De anxious, and now in the various battlefields of the Song Dynasty, except for Yizhou, the rest of the armies have made progress, Li De's soldiers and horses are not many, only 100,000 troops, and it is the least one of the four armies of the Song Army, and in terms of combat power, it is not as good as the elite of other armies.
In the study room of Yongwangfu, the two generals under Li De's command, the Zhengdong General Xili Qianbu and the forward general Wu Jie, were both there, Li De said to the two: "The two generals are talking about how our army should act next, now our 100,000 troops are blocked outside the Sword Pavilion Pass and cannot enter the land of Sichuan and Shu, you tell me what we should do."
Wu Jie walked to the map and said: "Lord Wang, in fact, we don't have to attack the land of Sichuan and Shu, we can completely turn most of our forces to the eastern battlefield and break through from the eastern road." ” Hearing Wu Jie's words, Li De's eyes lit up, and Li De asked Wu Jie: "General Wu, tell this king about your general plan." ” Wu Jie said to Li De: "Lord Wang, please see, now His Royal Highness the King of Qin has broken through the Shangnan defense line, and the army has advanced to the first line of Zheshui, according to the intelligence, in order to make up for the loss of troops, the commander of the Western Song Army, has ordered to draw troops from Fangzhou, Yunzhou, Guanghua Army, Xiangyang, Suizhou, Tangzhou, Xinyang Army and other places, and now this area of the Song Army has been empty, if our army launches an attack from this direction, it will definitely catch the Song Army off guard, once the Song Army defense line is broken, the prince has three options, The first road quickly interspersed in the hinterland of the Song army and directly attacked Bianliang, the second road went south from Xiangyang to attack Jingzhou, and the third road and His Royal Highness the King of Qin flanked the Song army" Wu Jie's strategic plan made Yongwang Li De very excited, and Li De said to Wu Jie: "This matter is very important, you let this king think about it." ” "Lord Wang, this is a great opportunity, what else do you have to consider, the fighter plane will be lost in a moment, please make a quick decision."
Wu Jie continued to plead.
"General Wu, you go down first and let this king think about it, after all, this is a strategic deployment to change my father's emperor, and once there is a mistake, you and this king's heads will have to move."
Li De said.
Seeing Li De so decisive, Wu Jie could only say: "It's the prince, and the last general will leave." ” After Wu Jie left, Li De asked the Xili Qianbu: "General Xili Qianbu, what do you think of this matter?"
"To be honest, Lord Wang, Wu Jie's suggestion is indeed very tempting, and it has a great possibility of success."
Xili Qianbu said to Li De: "But the prince's move also has a great risk, we only have 100,000 troops, if all the eastern expedition will not have troops left, Hanzhong is located between Sichuan and Guanzhong, it is the barrier of my Great Xia Imperial Capital, once Hanzhong is lost, it will be extremely unfavorable to my Great Xia Empire." ” "Of course this king understands."
Li De said; "But if you really give up this excellent fighter, this king is unwilling" "The prince means that he wants to send troops eastward," asked the Cyri Qianbu.
"Not bad."
Li De said; "Compared with the other brothers over the years, this king has lagged behind too much, and he has not come up with any decent records at all; Look at the title given to this king by his father, the eternal king, the eternal king; And even this title is probably given by my father in the face of the Nuoyi family, even if I want to be the king forever, this king must let my father see it, I, Li De, am not a waste.
As he spoke, Li De clenched his fists, and even the green tendons could be seen.
In fact, Li De is capable, and his ability is not necessarily smaller than Li Bingchang and Li Wu, and Li Dezhi's situation today is inseparable from Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo gave Li De too few opportunities, basically similar to nothing, Li Liangzuo did this is actually to deliberately limit Li De's development; If Li Liangzuo gives Li De a lot of opportunities, with the support of the Nuoyi family, even if Li De is an idiot, he has a great hope of becoming the crown prince and becoming the heir, and then the power of the Nuoyi family will expand dramatically, which Li Liangzuo is very unwilling to see; As an ancient family of the Dangxiang clan, the Nuoyi family has a lot of influence, but it is usually relatively low-key.
Now Li De's 100,000 army is not more than 20,000 people in Jiange Pass, and the rest of the 80,000 troops are gathered in Xingyuan Mansion, Li De pointed to the map and said: "This Eastern Expedition is not too many but fine, and the speed of the march is very important; Therefore, this time the king of the Eastern Expedition will lead 30,000 iron cavalry to the east, and another 20,000 elite infantry soldiers will be transferred, a total of 50,000 troops, and the rest of the 50,000 troops will be commanded by you to guard Xingyuan Mansion. ” "Yes, the last general commands" "Once the Song army learns that this king is advancing eastward, it will inevitably send a large army out of Sichuan and Shu to fight a decisive battle with our army, so don't let your guard down, in addition, this king of Wu Jie, who personally brought it, has not been very relieved about this person, and always feels that this kid is a little weird."
Li De said.
"As far as the last general knows, this Wu Jie, who was originally a Song general, was later captured with Zhao Ji, His Majesty felt that he was a talent, so he kept him" "These kings know too."
Li De said; "This time is a test for him, whether he is loyal to me The Great Xia Empire will soon be clear, and this king left you behind to prevent accidents" Li De's words, but the originally somewhat dissatisfied Xili Qianbu was excited, the defense of the rear is naturally not what the Xili Qianbu wants, as a general, Xili Qianbu also hopes to be able to make contributions on the battlefield, but Li De's Xili Qianbu is in Hanzhong is his trust, and this trust is more important to the generals than the military exploits.
That night, Li De and the Xili Qianbu discussed and formulated a plan of action, this set of plans for the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, Li De chose to conceal, since it was decided to send troops, the Yizhou Army began to prepare, of course, the name of the preparation was to attack the Jiange Pass, for which Li De applied to Li Liangzuo for a large number of grain and grass baggage, including a large number of earth-shattering thunder and explosives packages.
The son has a request, and as Lao Tzu, Li Liangzuo naturally has to give his full support; In the Ziwei Palace, the capital of the Great Xia Emperor, Li Liangzuo summoned the cabinet ministers headed by the King of Chu, and Li Liangzuo said to everyone: "King Yong asked me to attack Sichuan and Shu, and applied for a large number of supplies, what do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, now that there is not much food and grass in Guanzhong, Weichen thinks that the Yizhou Legion should still focus on defending Hanzhong."
Deputy Administrative Envoy Zhou Wentai said.
"Seconded by the Ministers" "Seconded by the Ministers" "Brother Huang, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty Weichen thinks that the greatest support should be given, if our army really invades Sichuan and Shu, the Great Song Dynasty will have one less country of abundance, and my Great Xia will have one more big granary; Moreover, the capture of Sichuan and Shu is equivalent to occupying an excellent strategic position for attacking the Song Dynasty, and our army can go down the Yangtze River, all the way like a bamboo," Li Xiaoren said.
Li Liangzuo finally decided: "The cabinet will transfer materials to Hanzhong, these are all things sooner or later." ” "The ministers respectfully obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" The second is offered, Tianyu continues to ask for recommendations, for support, please everyone:
