At Li Gang's suggestion, the Great Song Dynasty began a secret preparation, although it seemed that there was nothing on the surface, but Li Gang was secretly making active preparations, and the grain and grass transferred from the Jianghan region in the west did not continue to be sent to Jiangning Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but was sent to Hongzhou, and at the same time, the Song army recruited troops on the Jiangnan West Road, nominally to support the front-line operations, but in fact, it was training the garrison force, in order to strengthen the training of new recruits, Li Gang also transferred half of the Praetorian Guards guarding Jiangning Mansion to Hongzhou.
A few days later, Li Gang secretly entered the palace again to meet Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty, and Li Gang said after seeing Zhao Mao: "Your Majesty, now the evacuation is proceeding in an orderly manner. ” "What's the matter, Aiqing, just say it," Zhao Mao said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, now all the grain and grass transported from Jinghu North Road are stored in Hongzhou, so it is too unsafe, if the Xia army captures Hongzhou, then our stored grain and grass will be all over, Weichen means that the grain and grass will be stored in batches in the mountains, we can dig caves in the mountains to store grain, grass, weapons, and these holes can also be used to hide soldiers in the future."
"Aiqing, you can just watch and do these things, and when all the matters are ready, just give me a detailed plan."
Zhao Mao said to Li Gang.
"Yes, Weichen will order," Li Gang answered.
Zhao Mao said this, which is equivalent to handing over this matter to Li Gang, after all, Zhao Mao has a lot of things to deal with now, and it is impossible to do everything by himself; Then Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty handed over a holy decree to Li Gang and said: "Aiqing, you send someone to send this edict to Dali along with this wooden box, and I don't have to hand it over to you what to do next."
Li Gang was shocked after reading the edict and said: "Your Majesty, this, this" "Aiqing, you don't need to say much, since things have come to this point, then let's just be generous, so that it is easier to succeed."
Zhao Mao smiled strangely.
"Yes, Weichen understands," Li Gang said.
After saying that Li Yue took Dali, Li Yue learned that a Song army had entered the territory of Dali, so he sent Du Yi to lead 50,000 cavalry to block it; This is Li Yue's first battle after the separation, these 50,000 cavalry is one of the few cavalry units in Li Yue's hands, you must know that the land of Sichuan and Shu does not produce war horses, and the horses are mainly Yunnan horses, which are suitable for walking mountain roads and long-distance marches, and are not suitable for war horses, Li Yue's war horses are all through smuggling channels.
As for Du Yi is a hussar general under Li Yue, he is one of the few cavalry generals under Li Yue, after receiving Li Yue's military order, Du Yi immediately led 50,000 iron cavalry to attack the east, Du Yi ambushed his 50,000 army in the area of Luomeng Mountain in Shicheng County, which is the road for the Song army to advance westward, and the commander of the Song army did not expect that the Xia army would be ambushed here, and was caught off guard by the Xia army as soon as he entered the ambush circle.
The combat effectiveness and will to fight of this Song army was quite weak, and after being attacked by the Xia cavalry, it quickly surrendered; The generals of the Song army did not get the authorization of the Song Emperor Zhao Mao and the Great Song Dynasty in this operation, and they were completely in charge of themselves, and the Song army did not plan to fight with the Xia army, and attacked Dali in order to get some cheap and some benefits.
After destroying this Song army, Li Yue did not rush to attack the Great Song Dynasty, after all, although Li Yue's Sichuan Shu army captured the capital of Dali, but the rest of Dali has not had time to occupy, Li Yue intends to digest Dali first and then said that in the process of attacking Dali, Li Yue's Sichuan Shu army did not suffer much loss, the resistance of the Dali army is not very fierce, and now Dali is no longer the Nanzhao State of the year.
In fact, there are many contradictions within Dali, and there are many ethnic minorities here; After occupying Dali, Li Yue did not brutally suppress, but delegated a lot of power, let them go their own way, only occupied some of the important surveying cities of the Xia army, of course, this also left a lot of criticism for the future, as for the captured Dali army was all incorporated into the Eastern Expeditionary Army, they will be the main force to attack the Great Song Dynasty.
The palace of Dali has now become the line of Li Yue, Li Yue is summoning an envoy from the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty said loudly after seeing Li Yue: "Li Yue takes the order." ” Li Yue smiled, sat on the handsome chair, smiled and said: "Song envoy, you have come to the wrong place, this king is a courtier of the Great Xia Empire, not a courtier of your Great Song Dynasty." ” The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty did not pay attention to Li Yue but continued to recite the holy decree: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty Shengyu, if there are frequent wars today, Li Yue, the king of Shu, guarded Sichuan and Shu, and made outstanding contributions to the destruction of Dali.
Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Hexi, Western Regions, Monan, and Mobei are all territories under the jurisdiction of the Western Emperor.
After the envoy finished reading the edict, he presented the wooden box and said, "Your Majesty the Western Emperor, this is your imperial seal. ” Li Yue's face changed on the spot, and Li Yue shouted loudly: "Come on, drag this person out to this king and cut it down." ” The same thing is playing out in other places, in the camp of Jiangbei, Yan King Li Qing also met with a Great Song Dynasty envoy, originally Li Qing thought that the Song envoy was coming to surrender, but he did not expect to come to read such an edict, Song Emperor Zhao Mao was also very generous to Yan King Li Qing, and all the territories north of the Yellow River were enshrined to Yan King Li Qing, and Li Qing was crowned as the Northern Emperor.
Li Ke, the king of Qi, also received an edict, and Zhao Mao gave Li Ke the places north of the Huai River, south of the Yellow River, and east of the canal, and named Li Ke as the Eastern Emperor; As for Li De, the king of Liang, although he did not see anyone, Zhao Mao also enshrined the entire east of Hangu Pass and the vast Central Plains west of the canal belonged to Li De, and he named Li De as the Southern Emperor; Others, such as Li Hu'er was named Emperor Chu, Yang Shousu, Gao Wei, Zhou Wentai, Gao Huaizheng, etc., as long as they were powerful officials and generals of the Great Xia Empire, they were all entitled, and they were basically entitled, basically all of them were princes, and for a while, the whole world did not know that there were hundreds or thousands of princes.
Emperor Zhao Mao's actions were naturally sent to the hands of Emperor Li Liangzuo of Xia as soon as possible, and most of the officials took the initiative to hand over the edict given by Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty.
Looking at the edict of Emperor Song that was being burned, Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "This official of the Great Song Dynasty is too worthless now. ” "Your Majesty, Emperor Song's move is too ruthless, should we also fight back."
Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "Of course, but the official position and value of my Great Xia Empire are ruthless, just entitle a few people, the seed master Dao is the king of Huainan, Wang Kai is the king of Jinghu, Zhang Miao is the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I not only have to have an edict, but each of them is equipped with a python robe and a king seal; Whatever the prince has, they will have it, understand?"
"The slave understands, the slave must do it," Xiao Zhuozi immediately received the order.
