Chapter 844: Pushing the Boat Downstream

Yang Huaiyu took a long breath and said: "What Di Shuai has taught is that the generals and soldiers in the army have already complained, and the army has been on the march for more than a year, if there is no end in sight, what should I do?" The morale of the soldiers is declining! ”

This is also what Di Qing is worried about, but he has no choice but to look at Xia Zhu, Xia Zhu glanced at the two people who were looking at him and said helplessly: "In this way, more rangers will be sent to patrol and intensify their training every day, so that they can vent their excess energy!" In addition, the old man has no other way! What we can do now is to wait, don't forget, the Liao people have sent troops to seize the front set, and we don't have only one Western Xia to deal with now! ”

As soon as they said this, Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu clenched their fists, and the Liao people suddenly pounced on them this time and took a bite, which really made them angry, and also made the soldiers who went out angry.

But Zhao Zhen, who was in Beijing, was not angry at all, the actions of the Liao people were expected by him, and if the Liao people did not do it, he would be surprised! But this also made Zhao Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, the enemy who pounced and bit and the enemy who hid in the dark and waited for the opportunity to move were completely different things.

Zhao Zhen has always been worried about the Liao Dynasty, the strength of this dynasty is completely different from that of the Western Xia, although they are all nomads, but the Liao Dynasty already has a complete feudal social system, and the people's sense of identity and belonging has been formed, to be precise, it has everything that an orthodox dynasty should have, and he is in fact a Zhengshuo Dynasty that does not lose to the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said that the threat of the Liao Dynasty was much greater than that of the Western Xia, and at this time the Liao Dynasty occupied the land of the former set, apparently taking some power from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Great Song Dynasty enter the palace of Western Xia? Not only to relieve the trouble in the northwest, but also for the Hetao area on the edge of the Yellow River, which is the outpost of the Silk Road and the frontier of the Hexi Corridor.

Now the Liao people have a foot here, which naturally makes Zhao Zhen very unhappy, but this is not the most important point, the Liao people occupy the front set because the Great Song Dynasty cannot send troops from here to bypass Helan Mountain, another barrier in Western Xia.

Since ancient times, the eastern foot of Helan Mountain is the important town of the Central Plains Dynasty, and there is a natural danger of the Yellow River on the side, has a very important strategic position, if Zhao Zhen can not take Helan Mountain, even if he sends troops to occupy Xingqing Mansion, he will not be able to sleep steadily.

Qilian Mountain, Helan Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Yin Mountain, these four mountain ranges have a special significance for the Central Plains Dynasty, they are like four towering city powers, protecting the belly of the Central Plains Dynasty in it.

Zhao Zhen sent troops to Western Xia, in order to destroy Western Xia and seize the barrier land, the endless Qilian Mountain, the towering and holy Helan Mountain are under the control of Western Xia, and without completely conquering Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty has no chance to recapture it at all.

If he wants to conquer the Liao Dynasty, then Zhao Zhen must ensure the safety of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, so he will destroy the Western Xia first, not because the Western Xia is small and easy to attack, which is a necessary step in the invasion of the Liao and has to be carried out.

When the envoys of the Western Xia entered the city of Beijing, Zhao Zhen knew that his opportunity had come, and the Western Xia people obviously planned to negotiate peace, and the purpose of the peace negotiation was very simple, and they did not want to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and recuperated in order to make a comeback.

This is all a superficial article, Zhao Zhen knew that the strength of the Western Xia, 500,000 people, a full 500,000 army, and fought on the land of the Western Xia, how could he not have the strength to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, but the Western Xia dodged everywhere, even if the Great Song Dynasty advanced to Xiping Mansion, the Western Xia was still unwilling to confront the Great Song Dynasty head-on.

Obviously, this is hiding strength, from the beginning of Li Yuanhao to the current unconcealed pang, both of them are planning to recuperate and fight back.

Zhao Zhen solemnly summoned the envoy of Western Xia in the Qianyu Palace, the envoy did not say much, and said after handing over the credentials: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the soldiers of the two countries from fighting and the people from being miserable, I am willing to go to the country and the emperor to respect the Great Song Dynasty, and I wish the party and the Great Song Dynasty to be neighbors and stop the sword soldiers!" ”

Zhao Zhen opened the national letter, obviously such a neat and neat article, and the powerful article could not be written by a child under the age of one, but it represented the king of a country in Western Xia, after all, the end of the national letter was covered with the divine treasure of the Great Xia Emperor.

The content of the letter of state and what the messenger said is the same meaning, but it is just piled up with gorgeous rhetoric, it is the same whether you look at it or not, but the final content has aroused Zhao Zhen's interest, and even some crying meaning that in it, the last of the letter of the state accused the Liao people of seizing the former set, and hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would send troops, if the Great Song Dynasty could help the Western Xia drive away the Liao people, then this land of Western Xia would be given to the Great Song Dynasty as a gift of submission.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but admire the willingness to hide Pang's willingness, so he had a good strategy to drive away the wolf and chase the tiger, borrowing the contradiction between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and making the Western Xia, no, should be called the party item now, and get out temporarily.

But it's a pity that before Zhao Zhen discovered and annihilated the hundreds of thousands of troops of the party, he would never lead the war to the Liao Dynasty, and the current situation is that both the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have taken action against the party, and they are constantly cutting meat from the party's body to gain benefits, why should the war be burned between Song and Liao?

Isn't that an unwise choice?

Zhao Zhen looked at the envoy and said: "You may not know, the Liao Dynasty also sent an envoy to hand over the letter of state of the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, and there is a great intention to join forces with my emperor Song, if my Great Song Dynasty joins forces with the Liao Dynasty, divide the party ......" Zhao Zhen stopped as he spoke, and looked at the party envoy in front of him with deep meaning.

"The Great Song Dynasty came to the Zhengshuo Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire, how could they take advantage of the danger of others like the Liao people? Our party has not set up a single soldier in Jingzhou, Huaizhou and other places, if His Majesty is interested, he can send troops to occupy it, take it for himself, and never make any effort! ”

The words of the envoy made the officials of the DPRK and China whisper, and they also fell into the strange circle of morality and justice, if the ordinary emperor might really be stumped by the words of the envoy and the actions of the party members, but Zhao Zhen would not.

"Haha! Ok, good, good! If the party is so sincere, then I will be disrespectful! Someone came to send an order to Di Qing with a flying pigeon, and the army moved forward, be sure to take Jingzhou, Huaizhou and other places, and those who violated the order were severely punished! ”

Quiet –

There was a dead silence in the tall Qianyu Palace, originally as long as there was a little sound here, it could be amplified a lot, but dozens of people stood in the hall but it was extremely quiet, as if there was no one at all, everyone turned into wooden sculptures, standing in place and opening their mouths wide.

After a period of dead silence, Sancai was the first to react: "Where is Master Hanlin?" Purpose! ”

At this time, the envoy of Western Xia was shocked, how could he have thought that Zhao Zhen would really push away the water and agree......
