Chapter 614: Retreat as Advance (II)


In just a few days, the situation in the whole world has also changed, Wu Jie, who has just returned to the land of Bashu, is ready to take the initiative to attack the Xia army, the Wu family is a big clan in Shu, and the road in Shu is rugged and difficult, so although Bashu is under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is somewhat different from other places, the officials of Bashu are generally served by local clans, and the rule of the central court over Bashu is relatively weak.

After Wu Jie's return to the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Jie's exploits naturally spread to the Great Song Dynasty court located in Jiangzhou Mansion, for such a wise general Zhao Xu had heard the first emperor Zhao Xuan say, so Zhao Xu got the news of Wu Jie's return and immediately entrusted him with important tasks, and crowned Wu Jiedu as the deputy marshal of the Western Army, Jiannan Jiedu Envoy in charge of Bashu military affairs, and did not change the title of Wu Jiejie as the deputy marshal of the left of the Western Army, Wang Kai as the deputy marshal of the right of the Western Army, and Zhang Miao as the deputy marshal of the left of the Northern Army Wu Jie, after returning to Bashu, actively organized troops, reserved grain, grass and weapons to prepare for the Northern Expedition to the Xia Army, Wu Jie, with the cooperation of Wu Lan, led 100,000 Song troops out of the Sword Pavilion Road to attack Hanzhong, guarding Hanzhong's Xia General Xili Qian Department due to insufficient troops, can only retreat step by step and ask Li Liangzuo for help, now from the overall Xia and Song Dynasty war situation, the two armies have entered the confrontation stage, and the Song army has also carried out a strong counteroffensive in local areas.

In the Ziwei Palace, the imperial capital of Great Xia.

In the hall of Ziwei Palace, Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair with a black face, and was very dissatisfied with the war on the front line, especially when he got the news of the Song army's counterattack on Hanzhong, Li Liangzuo was even more furious, but in the face of the Song army's counterattack, Li Liangzuo was unable to arrange troops to go to the rescue, and now the troops in Li Liangzuo's hands are the 100,000 troops stationed in the Lantian camp commanded by Li Huer.

Looking at the ministers with their heads drooping, Li Liangzuo didn't say much nonsense, but just said: "Spread my will, from now on, my Great Xia Empire will announce the official relocation of the imperial capital." ” "Ministers obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" In fact, the relocation of the capital of the Great Xia Empire has already been completed, just a short edict from Li Liangzuo, and the imperial capital has already undertaken the work of the capital of the Great Xia Empire, but Li Liangzuo's announcement at this time to move the capital is of great political significance, Li Liangzuo's announcement of moving the capital to the emperor is telling everyone in the world that the Great Xia Empire must stick to the determination of Guanzhong, even if Hanzhong is lost, the military peak of the Song army can threaten the capital of the Great Xia Empire, and Li Liangzuo will still hold on.

After returning to the imperial book, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, Zhou Wentai, the deputy envoy of administration, Li Yanzong, the deputy envoy of military affairs, Gao Wei and others arrived, and Li Liangzuo asked the ministers: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with the situation now."

"Your Majesty, the situation in Hanzhong is critical, Wu Jie led a hundred thousand Song troops to attack, and the Yizhou Army is insufficient, so Wei Chen suggests that he immediately increase his troops from Guanzhong to Hanzhong."

Military envoy Li Yanzong suggested to Li Liangzuo.

"Weichen thinks that he should also increase his troops immediately, and he will also send people who think he is highly respected to Hanzhong to defend it, so as to realize the determination of my Great Xia Empire to hold Hanzhong."

Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, said.

"Your Majesty, the elite troops sent to Hanzhong must be the elite troops, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the offensive of the Song army; After all, our army does not have an advantage in troops.

Deputy Administrative Envoy Zhou Wentai also said.

"Brother Huang, where else can we draw troops from now," Li Liangzuo asked Li Xiaoren.

"Your Majesty, as far as the current situation is concerned, if you want to transfer elite troops, you can only transfer them from Tongguan."

Lee Hyo-in said; "As for the commander of the reinforcements, it still needs to be appointed by His Majesty."

"How many troops are there in Tongguan now," Li Liangzuo continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, some time ago, His Royal Highness the King of Qin transferred 50,000 troops from Tongguan to Wuguan to supplement the losses in the Battle of Shangnan, and now the defenders of Tongguan only have 50,000 troops, commanded by Li Yue, Marquis of Anguo."

Deputy Military Affairs Envoy Gao Wei reported to Li Liangzuoyu.

Li De pondered for a while and then ordered: "I will appoint Li Yue as the governor of Yizhou, Gao Wei as the military division, and Sima will send 30,000 elites from Tongguan to Hanzhong to meet Wu Jie. ” Gao Wei heard Li Liangzuo's appointment and immediately knelt down to receive the holy decree and said: "Weichen receives the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Wu Jiezhen knows that this person is very good at leading troops to fight, and he is extremely old and spicy, and he is a rare handsome talent, so he must be extremely careful when fighting against this person."

Li Liangzuo walked to Gao Wei's side and said; "The burden of your military advisor is very heavy."

"Your Majesty rest assured, Weichen will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Gao Wei bowed again.

Not long after Li Liangzuo had just finished arranging the battle in Hanzhong, Xiao Zhuozi ran in in a panic and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, His Royal Highness King Liang has been besieged in Bianliang. ” Li Liangzuo's body was shocked when he heard the news, but he quickly regained his composure, and then asked Xiao Zhuozi, "What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Zhuozi gave Li Liangzuo a review of all the causes and consequences, Li Liangzuo just nodded and knew the matter, and after a long time, Li Liangzuo suddenly issued an order: "The decree added Li De, the king of Liang, as the governor of Yuzhou, in charge of important military and political affairs in the Central Plains, and has the right to act cheaply, and the king of Liang is allowed to recruit soldiers and horses on his own." ” Li Liangzuo's holy decree can be said to have completely left Li De in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, in the eyes of outsiders, this is also some comfort from Li Liangzuo to Li De, and it also means that Li Liangzuo is already planning to give up Li De, of course, this is the opinion of outsiders; After Li Liangzuo issued this holy decree, the ministers all dispersed, and only Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, was left behind.

There were only two people left in the imperial study, Li Liangzuo and Li Xiaoren, and Li Liangzuo said to Li Xiaoren: "I want to leave secretly for a while, and during this time, the affairs in the court will be handed over to the imperial brother." ” "Your Majesty, are you?"

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I won't go to the Central Plains secretly."

Li Liangzuo smiled; "I know my responsibility."

"That's good, since that's the case, Weichen won't stop it."

Li Xiaoren said that Li Xiaoren knew that Li Liangzuo was a special person, and once the matter was decided, it was useless for anyone to persuade him, and the eight horses would not be able to pull it back.

Late that night, Li Liangzuo left the imperial capital with Xiao Zhuozi's secret Ziwei Palace and went all the way to the east, and soon Li Liangzuo came to the Lantian camp, because he had greeted Li Liangzuo in advance, he entered the camp very smoothly, in the Chinese army tent of the Lantian camp, Li Huer bowed to Li Liangzuo and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Hu'er, get up."

Li Liangzuo helped Li Hu'er up and said; "I came today for only one thing, your third brother Li De was surrounded in Bianliang, the situation is not very good now, now the only thing this king can do is to give him some advice from the periphery, I decided to take this 100,000 army to attack Hangu Pass, I have transferred 10,000 Janissaries, plus 20,000 defenders of Tongguan, a total of 130,000 troops, the entire operation is ostensibly commanded by you, I will go with you."

"The Last Will Understand" "At the same time, I have already ordered Li Wu, Li Bingchang, Li Qing and others to launch a fierce attack on the Song army's defense line at the same time."

"Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is built in a very dangerous position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I am afraid it will not be easy to capture in a short period of time."

"Don't worry, I have a plan" The third is offered, asking for recommendations, asking for monthly passes:
