Just a few days after Li Liangzuo reappeared and became the crown prince, a flying horse from the west was rushing to the capital of the Great Xia Emperor, from the Western Regions to the Great Xia Emperor There are tens of thousands of miles, even if the battle report is transmitted day and night, how can it take more than half a month to reach the Great Xia Imperial Capital.
"Eight hundred miles from the Western Regions," shouted the knight on his horse; At this time, the city gate was full of pedestrians, and when they saw the fast horses coming, they immediately dodged away, and even some of them cursed in their mouths, but when they knew that it was the herald, they all shut up; In the Great Xia Empire's new Tiansheng law, there is a provision that if you are killed by the heralds of the imperial court, not only will you not be compensated, but you will also be put in prison according to the law, of course, this is when the person is alive, if the person is dead, then forget it.
Fast horses came to the garrison of the Military Affairs Institute and reported to Gao Weiyu, the deputy military envoy: "Report, report, report the war report of the Western Regions, more than half a month ago, the Seljuk Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Xinjin" After the person finished speaking, he fainted, and someone next to him immediately came up to look at him and said, "Your Excellency, he fainted, he should be overworked." ” After Gao Wei received the battle report from the man's hand, he said, "Carry him down to rest, and the official will immediately meet Your Majesty." ” Gao Wei hurriedly came to the Qilin Hall with the battle report, and was stopped by Xiao Zhuozi as soon as he walked to the door of the main hall, and Xiao Zhuozi said to Gao Wei: "Lord Gao, Your Majesty has a decree and will not see anything." ” "Father-in-law Zhuo, please go in and report to Your Majesty, I am really in a hurry."
Gao Wei said with an anxious face.
"Okay, Lord Gao, you wait here for a while, and our family will come in and report it."
Zhuozi said to Gao Wei.
After Zhuo Zi entered the Qilin Palace, Li Liangzuo was reading a book crookedly on the soft collapse, and there were several palace maids waiting next to him, Zhuo Zi walked up to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gao has an urgent matter to see." ” "Didn't I say it, I won't see anyone today, if it's a matter of the court, let him go to the prince to discuss."
Li Liangzuo took the book away and said to Xiao Zhuozi.
"Yes, the minion obeys."
Xiao Zhuozi immediately received the order.
After Xiao Zhuozi came out of the Qilin Palace, he said to Li Liangzuo: "Lord Gao, Your Majesty has ordered you to go and discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ” Gao Wei took a deep look at the Qilin Hall and said, "Okay, then I'll go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss." ” Gao Wei came to the East Palace after leaving the palace, Li Bingchang did not make any changes to the East Palace after staying in the East Palace, everything was also based on frugality; As Li Liangzuo gradually handed over the rights in his hands, the political center of the Great Xia Empire gradually shifted from the imperial palace to the East Palace, which is almost never something in Chinese history.
Gao Wei came to the study of the crown prince Li Bingchang and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, this is the urgent report from the Western Regions that I just received, the Seljuk Empire has started a war against us, and the current situation of the war in the Western Regions is unknown. ” Li Bingchang said after reading the letter: "The Seljuk Empire's wolf ambitions, the two countries go to war sooner or later, the Lone King had expected it before returning to the dynasty, and made some arrangements, now it seems that these have come in handy, first of all, the most important thing is to persuade his father to increase troops to the Western Regions, now there are only 80,000 Anxi troops and 100,000 Western Expeditionary troops in the Western Regions, and the Seljuk Empire has more than 500,000 troops, although the combat strength of our army is higher than that of the army, but the difference in strength between the two sides is huge."
"Your Highness, now there is a bit of a delay in entering the palace to report to Your Majesty, it is better for Your Highness to see which way to send reinforcements, send someone to say hello first, and ask Your Majesty for your life."
Gao Wei said to Li Bingchang.
Li Bingchang thought for a while and said: "In this way, immediately send someone to Tongguan to summon Li Siqi to lead 150,000 Anbei troops to Weiqiao City to standby, this is the only force that the empire can mobilize, and the rest of the army has to prepare for the attack on the Song Dynasty, and it cannot be easily mobilized, if the war is to be further expanded, it can only be conscripted." ” "Okay, the old minister will do it."
Gao Wei took the military order.
After Gao Wei left, Li Bingchang entered the palace and came directly to the outside of the Qilin Palace, of course, Li Bingchang was also stopped by Xiao Zhuozi, and Xiao Zhuozi entered the palace again and reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down and said that there is something important to report." ” Li Liangzuo threw the book aside and said to Xiao Zhuozi: "Okay, let him come in" After Li Bingchang came in, he saluted Li Liangzuo and said, "The son of the emperor pays a visit to his father." ” "Say something," Li Liangzuo said impatiently.
"Father, I just got some news that the Seljuk army suddenly launched an attack on my Great Xia Empire, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely."
Li Bingchang said to Li Liangzuo.
"Then how did you deal with it," Li Liangzuo asked Li Bingchang.
Li Bingchang reported to Li Liangzuoyu: "Father and Emperor, before returning to Liang Yongneng, the sons had handed over the Western Expeditionary Army to Liang Yongneng and let him garrison it in the border city north of Nisa, as long as the Seljuk army could not take the border city, it would be impossible to get into the new land; Moreover, the Anxi Army is also stationed in Tiemen Pass, and Erchen has just sent someone to Tongguan to transfer Li Siqi's 150,000 Anbei Army to Weiqiao City to stand by and prepare for the westward expedition. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "This matter is handled well, just do as you say, but my father will give you a suggestion and let Xiang'er and Zhe'er go on the expedition together." ” "Father, Xiang'er and Zhe'er are too young, this is a 10,000-mile expedition, they are afraid," Li Bingchang said to Li Liangzuo.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, didn't you and Wu'er follow me when we were about the same age as them," Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "Spread my will, order Li Siqi to be the second road marshal, after the army arrives in the Western Regions, obey the order of Li Yi, the capital of Anxi, and order Li Yi to be the commander of the Western Regions, in charge of all wars in the Western Regions."
"Yes, Erchen received the order," Li Bingchang said immediately.
"Go ahead," Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.
When Li Bingchang just wanted to leave, he suddenly remembered something again, so he turned back to Li Liangzuo and said: "Father, the son recently got information that the Great Song Dynasty is also about to gather troops, horses, grain and grass in Chuzhou, it seems that he is planning to go north again, and the war between the Xia and Song dynasties is likely to break out again, I don't know who my father plans to send as the commander."
Li Liangzuo looked at Li Bingchang and said, "What do you think?"
"Erchen thought that he could let the sixth brother continue to command the army to attack the East Road army, and he could also send the fifth brother Li Hao to preside over the battle of Xiangyang."
Li Bingchang lowered his head and said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "The decree ordered Li Qing, the king of Yan, Li De, the king of Liang, and Li Ke, the king of Qi, to leave Beijing immediately and take command of the attack on the Song Dynasty; Li Qing was ordered to be in charge of the Central Plains military and political affairs as the Central Plains Patrol Envoy. ” Li Bingchang's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Li Liangzuo's words, Li Bingchang never thought that Li Liangzuo would give Li Qing such a position as the Central Plains Patrol Envoy, which means that Li Qing still holds the power of the entire Kwantung region, and it can pose enough threat to Li Bingchang's position as the crown prince.
