Li Shifu shook his head and said lightly: "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, the great patriarch can rest assured, I will definitely strike a fierce blow, and I will never let the brothers fall into a desperate situation." ”

Wei Liluo's eyes were complicated, looking at this forty-year-old general, a trustworthy thought spontaneously arose, it seems that his choice is not wrong, since someone must make a sacrifice, and Li Shifu has the mission of impact, he can only bear it.

"Okay, I'm going to attack, I hope the Great Patriarch will hold on for an hour." Li Shifu smiled faintly, and suddenly turned away, leaving a complicated face.

"I will live up to the expectations of the captain."

When Li Liangfu boarded the chariot, there was a categorical reassurance from Wei Li, he turned around and smiled with his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Take care." "At this moment in Kaifeng, ** Gongji is both hateful and embarrassed, Wang Xiu read two letters from Guantang in the northwest in front of him and Zhang Tonggu, one is about the attack on Xingqing, and the other is about Ganzhou, which is simply a chicken feather.

The Song army wanted to attack Xingqing and wait for an opportunity to annihilate Ren Dejing's army, but also confronted the Jin army in Hexi, which was a taboo for soldiers. However, seeing that Wang Xiu didn't care about it, and even decided to deal with Guantang in Ganzhou in front of Zhang Tonggu, it was just eye-catching, and he was not afraid that people would know.

Zhang Tonggu's face was calm, the Jin army's attack on Hexi was destined to break out with the Song army, and it was also expected by Wushu, Wushu's intention was very clear, and there was a limit to the scope of the war between the north and the south, that is, it was limited to Hexi, and uncontrollable situations must not occur, and it was also his main task to go south.

After sending off ** Gongji and Zhang Tonggu, Wang Xiu sat quietly for a while, and only after Zong Liang came in did he say: "I don't have to worry about Xingqing, Hexi is really difficult to deal with." ”

"Mr. gave the plan in person, do you want to change it again?" Zong Liang smacked his lips and said, his face intriguing.

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If you change anything, you have to send troops to fight a battle, or let Yue Pengju take Zhang Xian and Yue Yun to the west." Oh, calculate, they are also about to arrive at Xihe Road, and it is a challenge for them to form the Hexi Army, and I hope they will live up to expectations. ”

"Mr. is ......" Zong Liang was taken aback, Yue Fei went west with more than ten generals such as Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, and Xu Qing, and Wang Xiu's proposition was true.

According to Wang Xiu's intentions, the Ninth Battalion formed another army, tentatively named Hexi Army, which was composed of newly armed township cavalry to strengthen the strength of Hexi.

It must be said that the war horses in Liangzhou are very sufficient, Shaoxing's horse army has all realized the deputy horse system, and a large number of township troops have also been trained and can skillfully manipulate the war horses.

Let Yue Fei lead an army, naturally he must have capable subordinates, but he still has to fight with the living girl according to the original plan.

"Soldiers, treacherous! Fiction and reality intersect, what you think is true is true, and what you think is false is false. Wang Xiu took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

Zong Liang seems to have understood, but he has fallen into another layer of misunderstanding, the Jurchens think that fighting, that is, really fighting, what does Mr. mean by that?

Seeing that Zong Liang still didn't understand, Wang Xiu patiently asked, "Big brother, can Hexi avoid war?" ”

"If you don't take Ganzhou, I'm afraid it won't work." Zong Liang shook his head and said.

"Not to mention Ganzhou, it won't work if you don't take Shazhou, this battle is inevitable, Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan are not fools, do you think they will think I won't fight?"

The corners of Zong Liang's mouth twitched, it seemed that the left and right sides were fighting, and he couldn't help but say: "As soon as the war starts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control." Our army is in a decisive battle, and once they go south, the outcome is unpredictable! Sir, it will be a few months later. ”

Wang Xiu understands Zong Liang's steadiness, even if he wants to start a war with the Jurchens, he will wait until Xingqing is taken down, and the overall situation in the northwest is decided, and anyone will think that it is a safe strategy. It is also in line with his consistent advocacy of forbearance strategy.

However, everyone misunderstood him, the Northern Expedition and Hexi are completely two concepts, the Northern Expedition in his mind is not to regain lost territory, but a game of chess against all ethnic groups in the north, and the Great Song Dynasty must have an absolute overwhelming advantage.

To be precise, it should be coherent to defeat the Jurchens and to be able to carry out the most powerful blow to the steppes and the Goryeo states.

Hexi is just a corner of the country, as long as the Jurchens are not fools, they will never make a big move, and they will not have the strength to resist for a long time.

Besides, Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan's calculations are good, it seems that there is one thing that I haven't seen, don't say that his grassland strategy has been carried out secretly for a long time, that is, Hexi is not in the eyes of the Jurchens, it is not that he can't give up, but just to contain Liangzhou.

Once the imperial army was victorious and captured Ganzhou, the Jin army was embarrassed in Suzhou and Guazhou, where the local grain production was very low, mainly animal husbandry, it was difficult to maintain the supply of tens of thousands of troops, the local could not give effective resources, and it was impossible to pass through the territory of the greedy steppe tribes, all of which were unknown.

In a word, the Jin army held on to Hexi for a long time, which was not feasible at all, especially when Xingqing fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wurahai City was simply not enough to support the Jin army.

"It doesn't matter, Zhang Qiyuan doesn't have this vision, and Wushu doesn't have the compulsion to tear his face, I just want to open the bow left and right, and see if tens of thousands of people dare him go south."

What's wrong with the always steady gentleman? Zong Liang had a headache for a while, and he really couldn't understand that at the critical time of attacking Xingqing, you can't let it go, and wait until Xingqing is taken down, you have to fight it now.

"At this time and at that time, there are requests and givings, advances and retreats, and everything must be used flexibly." Wang Xiu smiled.

"Mr. Takami." Zong Liang didn't understand, but he acquiesced.

"Okay, don't bother with it anymore, but **Gongji is a talent, it's a pity to give up." Wang Xiu admires the loyalty of **Gongji, if he wants to be used by the imperial court, he will never mind sponsoring the imperial history, oh, it should be the imperial history.

"This person is too loyal, I am afraid that he will die for his country." Zong Liang is not good in military affairs, but he has a keen eye in politics, and he has long seen that Gongji is very upright, and I am afraid that it is not interests that can be moved.

"Yes! You have to think of a good way. Wang Xiu still has the intention of soliciting, otherwise he would not act in this play, and he would have to disillusion the last of Gongji.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Zong Liang is a little tasteful, but he is just a party person, is there not many talents in the Great Song Dynasty? No, on the contrary, there are many talents, which ministers of the court are not celebrities, they are all handsome everywhere, and there is still a lack of party members.

Wang Xiu smacked his lips and said to himself: "Don't look at it, the Han family has lost too many talents, and there are too few talents used by me in various ethnic groups. Well, on the day the city was broken, if you want to keep those Fanhan officials, you still have to select a few people to enter the dynasty for reuse. ”

Zong Liang's eyes flashed, his face looked admiring, and his eyes were full of admiration.
