Zhao Xu didn't care if Xiao Tiancheng was still there, oh, and said, "Specifically?"

Zhang Qi leaned slightly sideways and said, "Sect member Wailang, you tell the official family." ”

Zong Ze was also there at this moment, he came out of the ranks, raised his hand and said: "Qi Qi Guanjia, the minister believes that there may be three reasons: first, the Xia people are in a hurry to organize their army, and there are differences in the tactics of this battle. Second, it is the backup, Huanqing Road carried out a shallow attack to disturb farming, the Xia people are already poor, and there will be a shortage of grain and grass. Third, the Xia people may still have some kind of illusion, for example, my Great Song will back down. ”

Zhao Xu looked at Zong Ze, who was in his thirties, but had a face in his forties, thinking that he had worked hard enough for more than a year.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "What the Zong Qing family said is reasonable, no matter what the Xia people think and do, let's move forward according to the established plan." The cavalry under construction should give full play to the role of mobility and intrude on the rear of the Xia people. All kinds of fortresses, the perseverance of the insistence, the sortie of the attack, to find the right fighters, to give the Xia people a hard blow. ”

"Commandment!"

Zhang Qi, Zong Ze and the others raised their hands in unison and said loudly.

Zhao Xu waved his hand, looked at the Qinzhou Mansion not far in front of him, and said to a group of civil and military officials: "Before I came, I agreed with Zhang Xiang for three chapters, I came here to boost morale and strengthen my confidence in the Great Song Dynasty's victory over Li Xia. And, I'm in Qinzhou? Invincible. ”

I wonder if it's an illusion? Zhao Xu's voice fell, and many people's faces were pale.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows? continued: "Along the way? I had a lot of exchanges with the Liao envoy Xiao Qing's family, and found that the Liao country admired my Great Song Dynasty culture? I decided to rebuild the old friendship with the Liao Kingdom? Building a brotherly state? Help each other and forge alliances forever......"

Zhang Qi, Zong Ze and the others were stunned, and looked at Xiao Tiancheng.

Xiao Tiancheng was suddenly named? Moved by emotion? I didn't know what to say for a while.

You can't say that he Da Liao is unwilling, right? Not to mention that this is a major matter between countries and countries, he is not qualified to call the shots, but as long as he loses the face of the emperor of the Song Dynasty at such a time, he may not be able to get out alive.

Thereupon? His face remained motionless and he did not speak.

He doesn't speak? It's the same as defaulting.

The people in Zhao Xu's eyes, except for Zhang Qi? Including Zong Ze, they all had relieved expressions.

This battle? What are they most worried about than fighting on two fronts? If the Liao people intervene sideways? Da Song's situation is worrying!

Now, if the Liao State does not interfere, they will be able to concentrate on dealing with the Xia people.

These people, not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also unconsciously straightened their chests, ready to clean up the arrogant, repeatedly provocative Xia people!

Xiao Tiancheng obviously noticed it, and glanced at Zhao Xu, his eyes becoming more and more vigilant.

This little emperor's methods are really unguardable to him.

Zhang Qi Bafeng didn't move, waited for a while, and said, "The official family is Shengming." It is windy here, please enter the city. ”

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, and walked forward.

Behind him, a large crowd followed.

Huo Xu walked in front, and the more than 200 guards of the Imperial City Division were quickly arranged in advance.

Nan Tianyou was beside Zhao Xu, he was dressed in black brocade, wearing a gauze hat, and he wanted to be equipped with a golden ring knife, and waved his hand.

Not affiliated with any department, the Qingtian Guard in a light black brocade robe was guarding Zhao Xu's side.

Zhao Xu brought behind him, the staff officers of the staff room of the confidential room, the intelligence analysis officer of the intelligence room, etc., were separated, and Chu You's tiger and leopard riders also retreated, and only Chu You followed Zhao Xu's side.

A large crowd followed into the city.

The city of Qinzhou is not large, but under the repeated expansion of the Song Dynasty, it still has some scale, but the population is not large, and most of them are 'military dependents'.

Zhao Xu looked at the hard city wall and the soldiers patrolling back and forth, looking ready for battle, with a stern and awe-inspiring appearance, and nodded secretly.

Not to mention his hard work for more than a year, Zhang Ji, Zong Ze and others are indeed capable ministers, and the weak military style of the Great Song Dynasty has undergone a gratifying improvement.

From time to time, people wanted to meet them, but they were all blocked, and Zhao Xu led a large group of people into the Qinzhou Mansion.

Qinfeng Road is a big road, one of the six roads in Shaanxi, under the jurisdiction of 16 prefectures and counties, located in the northwest, with a small population.

Zhao Xu entered the mansion, and the people he brought were quickly arranged and put in place.

Zhao Xu came to the back hall, and followed, in addition to Chen Pi, Nan Tianyou, Chu You and others brought by Zhao Xu, Zhang Qi, Zong Ze, and officials from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Zhang Qi sat down, waited for the tea, and said directly: "Official, Xu Shangshu is on Hedong Road, overseeing Hedong, Hebei Three Road has nearly 100,000 troops, plus the official family intends to ease relations with Liao, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Zhao Xu hugged the teacup and smiled.

Where does he want to ease the relationship with Liao, he wants to eat Liao!

But that's what everyone thinks, and that's what fits the situation at hand.

Zhang Qi continued: "Shaanxi Six Roads, the ministers deployed the generals separately, the offense and defense are different, and they are all in place. Zong Ze and Chu You are the backup, and they can advance to Huanqing Road tomorrow. The cavalry ministers in the construction were arranged on the Xihe Road, and entered the Xia realm in a gradual way of encroachment, and targeted attacks on the grain routes and important land ...... of the Xia people."

Zhao Xu listened quietly and nodded from time to time.

He doesn't understand military affairs, but he trusts Zhang Ji, Zong Ze and Zhe Keshi, Chong Jianzhong, Chong Shizhong, Guo Cheng and others.

After Zhang Qi finished speaking, Zhao Xu couldn't find anything to 'correct', although it was a formal report, but Zhao Xu knew about it in various channels such as face-to-face presentations, transcripts, private messages, and Qingtianwei and Huangcheng Division.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Xu said: "I will say two points, the cavalry is to fight and hone, but the cavalry is just built, it is my baby bump, unless it is a last resort, try not to lose too much." Second, it is necessary to give full consideration to the situation of each army; although the Western Army has not moved much, the other armies have undergone 'military reform,' and the specific situation is still unclear, so it should be used seriously and prudently. ”

Zhang Ji showed a rigorous look on his face, bowed down and said: "Yes, the ministers should keep in mind the instructions of the official family. ”

Zhao Xu smiled, seeing that the atmosphere was a little serious, he took another sip of tea and waved his hand at Nan Tianyou.

Nan Tianyou understood, took a step forward, raised his hand, and said: "Zhang Xianggong and everyone, judging from the news obtained by Qingtianwei, the army used by the Xia people this time is claimed to be 800,000, and the actual estimate is about 2780,000, of which the cavalry is estimated to be 60,000...... At present, they are still coming towards Huanqing Road, Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road, etc., but they can only be regarded as containment, and they have no intention of breaking through it......"

Nan Tianyou is talking about the information that Qingtianwei obtained, and now it is shared in more detail and with more content.

The people in the room all looked pale, and the 300,000 army would not be easy no matter how they fought.

After waiting for a while, Huo Xu, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, came out of the ranks, bowed his body, lowered his head, and said: "The news that the Imperial City Division has received is that the total strength of the Xia people this time is 226,000 people, divided into six routes. At present, it has crossed the Wuyan Gorge, and the Xia people believe that the location of Pingxia City is the most critical, and once Pingxia City is broken, Zhusai will not be attacked. The commander of the Sixth Route Army was Wei Ming, and the sister of the Xishou Prison Army, Le Du, both of them focused on breaking through Pingxia City......"

Zhang Qi, Zong Ze and the others were pleasantly surprised when they heard it at first, thinking that the information of the Imperial City Division was more accurate and clear, but then they were a little surprised.

Because what Huo Xu said was as if he was in the Xia people's military camp, he saw and heard the meeting with his own eyes.

Everyone's suspicious gaze slowly turned to Zhao Xu from Huo Xu's face, as if they wanted to ask for proof.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Is the information accurate?" Not trapped? ”

Huo Xu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's just a preliminary investigation, and the specific situation still needs to be verified." ”

First, Huo Xu is really bottomless, and secondly, he also leaves a story for shirking responsibility.

Zhang Qi understood, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, the ministers will confirm it." ”

If it is really as the Imperial City Division said, then Zhang Qi will have to make a more targeted deployment.
