The next day, in the study of the Qilin Palace, Li Liangzuo summoned Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, here, and now Li Xiaoren is also a person who has half of his son in the ground, and he is basically not involved in the major affairs of the court, but some major matters that determine the Great Xia Empire, Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo still still finds Li Xiaoren to discuss.
"What does the imperial brother think of these two folds," Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo asked Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu.
Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister, these two battle plans are simply copying your strategic concept of destroying Liao, which is exactly the same as the plan we made at the beginning, but it is much more detailed than our plan back then." ” "Well, I don't know how much stronger the conditions are now than they were back then, but it's not easy to make the plan like this."
Li Liangzuo said to Li Xiaoren: "What does the imperial brother think about this matter?"
"Lao Chen thinks it's time to dominate the world, otherwise I don't know if my old bones can wait until that day" Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, now that we have enough soldiers and food, and more sharp firearms to help, it is easy to dominate the world, and this opportunity is not much; However, our army still lacks the capital to fight on two fronts, and the old minister's one thing is to destroy the Great Song Dynasty first, and then destroy the Seljuk Empire, and the war in the Western Regions can be put aside for the time being; Judging from the comparison of national strength alone, the Great Song Empire has an advantage over us in terms of economic strength, population, etc., while the Seljuk Empire is inferior to us, but this does not mean that the Seljuk Empire is weaker than us, on the contrary, the Seljuk Empire's army is very strong, the Seljuk Empire's army is mainly cavalry, although the combat power of its cavalry is not as good as our cavalry, but the difference is not big, in addition, we want to attack the Seljuk Empire's mountains and plateaus, which is not conducive to us from the topography."
After Li Xiaoren's analysis, Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "Brother Huang is reasonable, after capturing the Great Song Dynasty, our army can take the materials obtained from the Great Song Dynasty to the battlefield of the Western Expedition, and even send sailors to fight across the sea."
Just when Li Liangzuo and Li Xiaoren were discussing the offensive against the Great Song Dynasty, the Song army suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Xia army from the east from Jianghuai to Sichuan Shu in the west, and the three major local legions of the Song army, the Jianghuai army, the Jianghan army and the Sichuan Shu army, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Xia army's various legions on the Northern Expedition at the same time, and at the same time, Xiao Feng, the king of Jiaodong, Xiao Yuanshan, died three years ago, and led 200,000 Jiaodong troops to launch a rebellion, and the originally peaceful world became turbulent again.
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly ran over to Li Liangzuo with several urgent reports, and Xiao Fuzi came to Li Liangzuo's side and said: "Your Majesty, the front line is eight hundred miles urgent; It is reported that the Song army suddenly launched a counteroffensive against our army on all fronts, and the untimely garrison of the border guards of our army corps made the Song army break through the front line of our army. ” Li Liangzuo immediately grabbed the report and opened it, looked at it and said: "Okay, it's really good, I'm worried that I can't find an excuse to attack south, so I sent this excuse, it's really good; Spread my will, ordered the crown prince Li Wu to come to see me immediately, and at the same time ordered the major legions to immediately enter the counteroffensive stage. ” "Yes, the minion commands" Not long after, the crown prince Li Wu came to the Qilin Palace; As soon as Li Wu wanted to salute, he was stopped by Li Liangzuo and said: "Okay, these customs etiquette will be exempted, I heard the news of the Northern Expedition of the Song Army."
"Yes, Erchen already knows, my father has now started the Great Song Dynasty, and Erchen asks my father to order the dispatch of troops."
Li Wu prayed to Li Liangzuo.
"I will not only order the dispatch of troops, but also appoint you as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the commander-in-chief of the Xia army's war against the Song Dynasty."
Li Liangzuo said: "Little Fuzi, go and bring my Holy Dragon Son of Heaven Sword and my Talisman." ” "Yes, the minion commands" It didn't take long for two little eunuchs to come here with a sword and a long wooden box, the sword needless to say is the holy dragon Tianzi sword used by Li Liangzuo, this wooden box is very exquisite, it is engraved with dragon patterns and tiger stripes and is inlaid with gold, in this treasure box is contained six tiger talismans, namely the Yizhou Legion, the Yuzhou Legion, the Xuzhou Legion, the Jizhou Legion, the Praetorian Guard and the Tiger Talisman of the Royal Forest Army, here is only half of the Tiger Talisman, This half-tiger talisman is in line with the other tigers in the hands of the commanders and kings in order to mobilize the army.
The crown prince Li Wu knelt on the ground and took these and said to Li Liangzuo: "Son, thank your father." ” "Good job."
Li Liangzuo said to Li Wu: "When you destroy the Great Song Dynasty, I will pass on the throne to you, and it is time for me to enjoy the joy of family when I am old." ” "Father" "Go ahead and do your own thing."
Li Liangzuo said to the crown prince Li Wu.
Li Wu knelt on the ground again and said: "Father, the son has a reluctant request, the sixth brother is locked up in the Qingshui City prison, and the son begs the father to release the sixth brother, this battle cannot be without the help of the sixth brother." ” "You can do it yourself in this world, don't come to ask me if it's okay."
Li Liangzuo finally waved his hand and said.
"It's the sons who obey orders" After the crown prince Li Wu left the Ziwei Palace with the sword of the Holy Dragon Son of Heaven and the tiger talisman, he immediately brought people to the Lantian camp, and when Li Wu led people to the Lantian camp, it was already dark, Li Wu came directly to the Chinese army's big tent, at this time Li Hu'er was reviewing the official documents, and after seeing Li Wu arrive, he immediately said forward: "Your Royal Highness the prince, why are you here at this time." ” Li Hu'er didn't say a word, and immediately showed the tiger talisman and said: "Li Hu'er obeyed the order and ordered the 100,000 imperial forest troops under your command to go to Nanyang to stand by. ” After Li Hu'er checked the half of the tiger talisman in his hand after receiving the tiger talisman, he immediately said: "Yes, the last general will take the order."
"Hu'er, come with me to Kaifeng City in a while, Prince Ben has already ordered the commanders of the legions from all over the country to go to Kaifeng City to discuss matters."
Li Wu said to Li Hu'er.
A few days later, in Kaifeng City, the crown prince Li Wu, the king of Yan Li Qing, the king of Liang Li De, the king of Qi Li Ke and the Duke of An Guo Li Yue all arrived, the prince Li Wu did not have any nonsense, and directly opened the main body and said: "Brothers, everyone here is a family, so I don't have much to say, this prince called you today, mainly for one thing, that is, about the strategic issue of the war against the Song Dynasty, now that the Song army has launched an offensive against our army, our army should enter the counteroffensive stage next; This time, our main purpose is to carry out the issue of the distribution of troops, the ten major army corps of our army plus the two forbidden armies can use the strength of 600,000 troops, plus 100,000 sailors and soldiers, there are only 700,000, and the total strength of the Song army's northern front is estimated to be more than 1 million, this is only the strength of the Song army in the early stage, and the strength of the later period is likely to reach about 1.4 million; Now that the Song army is in full swing, my suggestion is that our army should avoid its edge, lure the Song army to the hinterland of our army and give it total annihilation, and then enter the stage of counteroffensive, first of all, the main offensive direction of our army should be located in Xiangyang and Sichuan and Shu, which are located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and condescending, our army can occupy these two places and go all the way south along the Yangtze River and go straight to Jiangning Mansion."
The first one, there are votes to vote for it:
