Chapter 445: The Great Han Army Moves, and Western Xia is Shocked
The border between the Great Han and Western Xia.
LΓΌ Bu and Gongsun Zhan's total of 100,000 troops were scattered and stationed here.
"General Qiqi, the king has sent a decree to attack Western Xia immediately, and there must be no mistake. β
Almost at the same time.
The two generals got the will from Liu Xie and waved their troops to attack.
"Hahaha, okay. β
"I've been waiting for more than ten days, and it's finally time to attack. β
"Give a quick order to the army, and immediately start attacking, and there must be no mistake. β
After obtaining the will, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan gave an order almost at the same time, and the 100,000-strong army suddenly set out.
For the Han Dynasty, they are never afraid of war, let alone war, what they have to do is to respect the will of the king, what the soldiers point to, and what they want.
The Great Army attacked.
With lightning speed, he headed towards Western Xia.
The Great War began.
And at the same time.
The court hall of the Western Xia Kingdom.
"Newspaper. β
"The emperor, the border pass is urgent, the Han army suddenly rose up, broke through five border gates in a row, beheaded tens of thousands of border defenders, and is still marching rapidly. An eight-hundred-mile hurried herald came to the court in a hurry and said.
"What?"
On the throne, Li Qianshun's brows furrowed and he stood up suddenly.
Because the Han sent secret guards to kill Helian Shu and blame the Liao State, the Western Xia were afraid of it, so they mobilized heavy troops to the north, but the defense against the Han was not so strong, after all, in the imagination of Li Qianshun and even the Western Xia officials, the Han annexed Dali for only a few months, and the country was still not stable, and it was impossible to launch an attack on other countries again.
This is not their assumption, but a fundamental possibility.
It is easy to lay down the territory, but it is difficult to govern the territory.
It's like the founding emperor of Western Xia took away a lot of territory from the Song State, but in the end he also lost a lot.
"Newspaper. β
"There is an urgent report from Qinzhou City. β
"The Song State has ceded five cities bordering Western Xia, including Qinzhou, to the Han State. β
But there's more bad news than one.
Immediately after, another urgent piece of information arrived.
"Song Guo, how dare they?"
"Could it be that they sent envoys to the Han Kingdom in the first place just to cede the city?" Li Qianshun's face became extremely gloomy.
This was something he never expected.
Although he planted a lot of spies in the Song Kingdom, this time the Song State ceded the city without leaking any rumors, even Li Qianshun did not get any news.
"It's so calculated. β
"With the army on the border of the Han Kingdom attacking from the south to my Western Xia, and then attacking from the west from the city of Qinzhou, in order to destroy my Western Xia, this Han Emperor is really insidious. Li Qianshun thought through gritted teeth.
If Liu Xie deliberately let the Song State conceal the news of ceding the city was a conspiracy, but after the news came out at this moment, it was a real conspiracy, and Li Qianshun had no way to change it, but to mobilize all the national strength to meet it.
"Your Majesty, the Han Kingdom is attacking from two directions, and my Western Xia must mobilize all the troops to deal with it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. β
"But the Liao State in the north still needs to be guarded against, when they planned to attack and kill General Helian, if they learned that the Han State was attacking our Western Xia, they would definitely not sit idly by. β
"There is still a heavy army to defend the northern border to defend against the Liao State..."
One by one, the Western Xia courtiers scrambled to speak, but there is no doubt that it is necessary to send troops, but the Liao State in the north made them jealous, and Helian Shu died that day, and now they are even more convinced that the Liao State will do it.
Heavy troops must be left to guard against Liao, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
After all, in the cognition of the countries of the Northern Song Dynasty world, the strongest country in the world is the Liao State, and even if the Han State has the power to encroach on Dali, it is a lot weaker than the Liao State after all, this is their cognition.
"Zhong Aiqing is right, the Han State must be defended, and the Liao State must be defended. Li Qianshun nodded solemnly.
"Your Majesty, now I still have an army of 400,000 in Western Xia, and I will use 150,000 troops to defend the Liao State, and the other 25 major armies can go all out to meet the Han State, and even defeat the Han State in one fell swoop to solve this threat. A Western Xia courtier said.
"Is it enough to deploy 150,000 troops on the border of Liao?" Li Qianshun's expression was thoughtful.
It is really that the sense of crisis given to him by the Liao State is too strong, if the iron cavalry of the Liao State suddenly attacked, then he would be in danger in Western Xia.
"Emperor Qi, if it is a simple defense and does not engage the Liao State Iron Cavalry head-on, it should be enough. A courtier said.
"The strength of the Liao State lies in the power of the iron cavalry, as well as the power of the commander of the Liao Emperor, so the 150,000 troops guarding the border must be handed over to a general with the power of command. Li Qianshun lowered his voice and said, his eyes scanning the court.
Feeling Li Qianshun's gaze, the Western Xia courtiers in the court all lowered their heads, the commander of the 150,000 army is indeed in charge of one side of the military power, and the power is monstrous, but what he will face is the strongest Liao State, if the Liao State really sends troops, it will be nine deaths, so they all bow their heads and dare not go out to fight to lead the army.
"Hey, if General Helian hadn't been attacked and killed by the Liao State, he would have been the commander of the army this time. β
"Now there is no one in my Western Xia court..."
All the Wenchen shook their heads and said, extremely helpless.
But they didn't find out.
In the column of military ministers, the official rank is not high, and when he heard that there was a commander of 150,000 troops, guarding the border, his eyes couldn't help but look greedy.
"150,000 troops, enough strength, if I get it, there is hope for the recovery of Dayan, this is my opportunity. Murong Fu's eyes were shining, and he was very excited.
He has been mixed into Western Xia for a long time, and he has almost no chance of coming into contact with military power, but this time he has seen hope.
In this day and age.
Only the possession of military power is true power.
"The general of the Han Kingdom, you wait for me, when I take charge of the military power and recover Dayan, he will definitely not let you go in the future. Murong Fu's eyes appeared in the rampant figure of Lu Bu that day, and his heart was full of jealousy.
As the so-called remnant of the Dayan royal family, he thinks he is noble, and he has the arrogance that belongs to him, he went to pray to Lu Bu in such a low voice that day, but in the end he was coldly reprimanded by Lu Bu, which made Murong Fu feel humiliated.
Thinking.
Murong Fu did not hesitate, he stood directly in the center of the court, raised his head, and said loudly: "The minister Li Yanzong is willing to command the army to sit on the border of the Liao State, and he will never let the Liao State set foot in my Western Xia for half a step." β
"Li Yanzong?"
Li Qianshun frowned and looked at Murong Fu with a sense of strangeness on his face.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. β
"General Li was originally a general under General Helian, with extraordinary martial arts strength and the ability to command troops, and it is more than enough to serve as a general stationed at the border pass. A military minister said with a smile.
"Yes, General Li does have the ability to command troops. β
