Chapter 812 Disaster is not a single line
Li Yuanhao stood on the imperial steps in the palace, which he ordered the craftsmen to deliberately increase in height, in order to be similar to Zhao Zhen's Qianyu Palace, but compared to the height of the Qianyu Palace, the height here is obviously stretched, and raising the imperial steps can only make the roof of the palace appear short.
Looking at the Western Regions guard Tuoba Stone who was kneeling down, Li Yuanhao showed a disappointed expression and said: "What's the matter, even if 80,000 pigs are slaughtered, they won't be defeated so quickly, why do I Xixia Erlang have so many casualties in your hands?" ”
Tuoba Shi knelt on the ground speechless, and the more he saw him, the more angry Li Yuanhao became, and he raised his voice in vain and shouted: "Eighty thousand! Eighty thousand! My hard work, my son, is buried in the hands of you, a stupid commander! ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the ferocity of the Qingtang coalition army is rare in the world, coupled with their knowledge of the terrain of the Western Regions, the armor and blades on their bodies are excellent, and they forget to die when fighting, although there are 80,000 soldiers, but most of them are recruits from the country, and their courage and combined attacks are not as good as the enemy!"
Yeli Renrong looked at the crossbow arrow in his hand, the three words of the Ordnance Department were very clear, and even engraved with the name of the arrow forging craftsman, type, etc., and this crossbow arrow was also one of the many arrows taken from the body of the Tuoba Stone, this Tuoba Stone had a big life, if it wasn't for the armor given by His Majesty, with the power of the armor-breaking arrows of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that he would have died under this arrow cluster.
Even if it is taken off the armor, the arrow cluster still shows a sharp cold glow, and although the tip of the arrow is broken, it still hurts to stab, which shows that such a forging ability is not something that Western Xia and Qingtang can have, and even the Liao Dynasty cannot make it.
Standing up to appease the emperor's anger, Yeli Renrong handed the crossbow arrow in his hand to Li Yuanhao and said: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that this Qingtang coalition army is supported by the Song people behind their backs, as can be seen from these armaments, it should also be the Song people who united these people who broke their families and destroyed the country, and used Qingtang as an introduction to give me a dose of fierce medicine from Western Xia!" ”
Li Yuanhao nodded and said: "What Father Shang said is extremely true, Qingtang Xiaoxiao, actually dared to show his sword to me in Western Xia, it is a good means to use, thinking that it is great to rely on the backer of the Great Song Dynasty?" In front of my Great Xia, he is no longer an opponent! ”
Yeli Renrong knows what Li Yuanhao is going to do, but now is by no means the time to retaliate, what the Western Xia needs most now is to recuperate and get through the current food shortage, even if the food is plundered from the Liao Dynasty, but if you want to use the army again, the food consumed will only be faster, and you can't bring the sheep to the battlefield as food, right?
"Your Majesty, who doesn't want me to rest in the summer now? My Great Xia is a tiger, as long as you recuperate and recharge, you can roar in the mountains and forests, but before that, it is better to keep the static braking, rather than spending energy to deal with the little jackals, it is better to develop agriculture, as long as there is enough food, you can continue to confront the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, or look for an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
Yeli Renrong's words have been said very clearly, Li Yuanhao waved his hand to let Tuoba Shi retreat, and after seeing him go away, he asked Yeli Renrong: "Father Shang knows the situation of my Great Xia best, what is the biggest problem in my Great Xia now?" ”
Yeli Renrong smiled bitterly: "It's not that I can't use soldiers, but I have very few soldiers in Great Xia who can fight!" ”
"What? Aren't there more than 100,000 people available, why are there so few? Li Yuanhao raised his voice in vain and questioned Yeli Renrong.
In the face of the emperor's anger, Yeli Renrong said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is true that I have more than 100,000 soldiers in Daxia, but compared with the original hundreds of thousands of people, it is very few, Your Majesty, don't forget that we also have to beware of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty." ”
Li Yuanhao frowned and said, "That won't be so few, how many soldiers can I fight in Daxia?"
Yeli Renrong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have a total of 500,000 combatable soldiers in Great Xia, but there are not many people left among these people, except for those who guard the border, plus the loss of more than 60,000 people in the Western Regions just now, this is already a very big loss for my Great Xia, plus the border is mostly attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that there are no more 500,000 combatable soldiers." ”
"Spread the order to the Xiping Military Division, send all the rangers to pick up the returning Xixia Erlang, gather the troops and set up another army ......"
This is no way, although the Western Xia has an army of nearly 500,000, but the total population is only more than 3 million, which is already a very staggering proportion, and it is also why Li Yuanhao wants to plunder the population from everywhere, the people in the Western Xia are too few......
The defeat suffered by the Tanguts in the Western Regions dealt them a great blow, but they did not expect that the defeated generals of the former subordinates could actually come back and defeat the Great Xia in the Western Regions, which was unacceptable to the arrogant party members.
The strength of the Qingtang coalition continued to soar, and they gained more soldiers from the reconquistad lands, and the yellow-headed Uighurs, grass-headed Tatars, and Xizhou Uighurs all injected new strength into this vengeful army, and also made their army stronger, and at this time, the name of Jiaoguo Luo became more and more famous, because he had in his hands the seal of the Zhao Song Dynasty recognizing him as Zampu.
With this thing, Jiaoguoluo's status can be regarded as a golden signboard, many Tubo tribes came to join and support him, Qingtang's development during this period was extremely rapid, his territory was getting bigger and bigger, and let the Western Xia see his threat.
The last thing Li Yuanhao wants to see is the strength of this Qingtang coalition army, because once they recover their homeland and unite, it will be a disaster for Western Xia, and it is undeniable that Li Yuanhao's military talent is very outstanding.
He clearly saw that these forces that had been brought together by the Great Song Dynasty and led by Qingtang would form a siege of the Western Xia, Qingtang was in the southwest of the Western Xia, the Yellow Head Uighurs were in the west of the Western Xia, and the Western Uighurs and the prolific Uighurs were in the northwest of the Western Xia, the southeast and the whole east were the Great Song Dynasty, and the only north was the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan wolf that the Western Xia had offended again and again......
In this way, it seems that there is no way out for the entire Western Xia, and the only thing Li Yuanhao can do now is to recuperate, try to ease the atmosphere between the Great Song Dynasty, and also ease the tension between the Liao Dynasty, otherwise once the group rises up and attacks it, the Western Xia will be defeated immediately.
Li Yuanhao is very familiar with easing the surrounding situation, and it can be described as a light car, before this, he had been whispered more than once, cheekily begged Song Liao for peace, and even did not hesitate to call himself a junior to Zhao Zhen......
It can be said that he is a person who does not care about the means at all in order to achieve the goal, which Zhao Zhen has already seen through, and for his envoy, Zhao Zhen naturally chose not to see, and asked Cai Boyu, the deputy envoy of the three divisions, to tell him that the Great Song Dynasty would not provide a grain of grain to the Liao Dynasty from now on, and if Li Yuanhao dared to offend the border, then the Great Song Dynasty would attack Western Xia.
