Chapter 970: Pros and No

In the palace of the Western Xia Dynasty, Han Meng was losing his temper, although the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty did not say anything, but through the micro-expressions and the atmosphere of the previous dynasty, he could detect the hearts of the courtiers.

In Han Meng's eyes, it was ridicule, ridicule, and contempt, and the most terrible thing was that the courtiers acted like they didn't know anything, which made him panic.

If there are a few people who stand up and take responsibility, he will make him feel at ease, but there is no such person, and behind the expression is only hypocrisy.

"Why did the newspaper sent from Youzhou know about those things?"

Han Meng's heart has always been the same, and when he thought of this, he suddenly found that the Western Xia soldiers and the vanguard had a conflict.

I thought it was a misunderstanding, but when I think about it, it's definitely not normal.

"Your Majesty, the spies have found out that the person who pursued last time was Li De, the governor of Youzhou."

"What?"

Han Meng was stunned, he thought it was an ordinary caravan, how did it become the convoy of the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou, if it was really like this, everything could be figured out.

Why do newspapers appear in Youzhou?

"The Governor of Youzhou is in the fishing city?"

Han Meng had already thought in his heart about what kind of behemoth Xixia City would face in the future, and offended Youzhou, it was estimated that there were already many forces who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity at this time.

He was right, Li Shimin, who was in Wagang City at this time, immediately gathered his civil ministers and generals to discuss things after getting the news.

"Your Highness, Xixia City is far away in Lingnan, the road is far away, if you send troops, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of Wagang City." The eldest grandson Wuji reminded.

Li Shimin has 500,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to be a lot, but he must prevent the threat of his own family, and according to the news sent back by the spies, the number of soldiers and horses in Western Xia is at least 300,000, and the height of Xixia City is at least ten meters high.

Compared with the attack on Wagang City, the cost of the journey alone is very large, and the situation in Wagang City has just improved, and if you rush to send troops, I don't know if there will be problems.

Li Shimin's consideration of the problem is still very comprehensive, how can the country that has been laid down with great difficulty let it go wrong.

He listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Du and the others, and this was the time when they needed their advice.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this matter, the king of Western Xia has offended Youzhou, let's wait a little longer and see what plans Youzhou has before it is too late." Fang Xuanling said.

"Then wait a minute."

Li Shimin is very rational, even if he sees an opportunity, he can endure it for the sake of long-term interests.

Youzhou City Guard, the captains have been gathered together for a few days, and they have been discussing how to use troops against Western Xia.

The matter of pursuing the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou will definitely not end like this, they are not only thinking about the battle plan, but also about the pros and cons.

The current situation in Lingnan is too far away from Youzhou, if you send troops to attack, you need to garrison after the war, and you have to deal with the local people.

Due to the different living habits and cultures, this aspect will have a very big impact on them, and the key is that after the division of troops to garrison, it will further weaken the strength of the Youzhou forces.

The attitude of the think tank and the lieutenants is completely different; fundamentally speaking, what the lieutenants want is the honor of opening up the territory, while the people in the think tank are much calmer, and they think about interests.

In fact, the positions of the two sides do not conflict, and the key lies in the issue of more benefits and less benefits.

Li De did not give an order, but he had already asked them to prepare, and the most critical thing in this preparation period was to let them discuss the plan.

The captains are thinking about how to fight very simply, and the think tank is thinking about the price paid for the post-war management.

"It's easy to conquer Xixia City, sending troops to garrison and manage the development is the most critical issue, how many soldiers and horses do the lieutenants think is appropriate?"

"50,000 soldiers and horses in a remote place are enough."

"In case someone besieges you, will you be able to resist it with 50,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Will anyone really have the idea of fighting the forces in Youzhou?"

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, nothing is impossible, even if the power of Youzhou is strong, if you can't support Lingnan in time, you won't suffer this loss."

The people in the think tank are very sensible, the strength of Youzhou is strong does not mean invincible, if someone really deliberately uses the distance to delay the battle, it will make the soldiers and horses of Youzhou fall into it little by little.

Not to mention the troops, it is a problem to supply at such a long distance, and a large number of caravans can be used to transport it, but have you considered the cost?

Paying for the transportation of a caravan may not be as good as winning a battle.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's expedition to Goryeo is an example, a million soldiers and horses could not take a single projectile, and the small country was finally annihilated, causing chaos in the world.

Youzhou's power is much better than the economy of the Sui period, but so far the vanguard has not had a million soldiers and horses, if Youzhou wants to call the people to serve in the military, it is completely okay, once this is the case, business will be seriously affected.

Although the strength is very strong, the population is also a hard injury, after all, the decision of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized the people of the world, and it can only be said that it is not a problem of a small number of people, and it is not a matter of doing whatever you want to carry out according to the situation in Youzhou.

Just like Li Yuan said that although the emperor and queen had the intention of fighting, there were not many wars that really started, if it weren't for the trouble made by the Li family brothers, there might not be today's situation.

It can only be said that when it develops to a certain scale, things are not so simple.

Li De's convoy was pursued by the Western Xia soldiers and horses, and Situ En's attack was also within a certain range.

It's not that Li De doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he needs to use a more reasonable method.

It's important to be famous.

That's right, so publishing the newspaper first to expose the matter is a blow to the Western Xia, the world knows what the current Western Xia king has done, what the people of the world will think, and what kind of attitude the forces in the world have.

How did the king of Western Xia face the people of Western Xia.

Naturally, Li De doesn't have to worry about this, he just needs to wait and see how the world changes.

In any case, the safety of the governor of Youzhou in the fishing city must be guaranteed, and the Zheng family's ships have already gone north with goods.

Li De's failure to leave in time means that the matter is not over, and he has accumulated strength to not respond to all changes.

Han Meng, the king of Western Xia, has not been idle, and when he learned the news that the spies had investigated from Yucheng, he knew that the governor of Youzhou had not left, and this was his opportunity.

Han Meng didn't have much to worry about, although Youzhou's forces were very strong, but this was the south, just like the last time he was pursued by the vanguard, there were very few soldiers and horses that could be used, this was his chance.

"Order down, 300,000 Western Xia soldiers assemble."

Han Meng was already ready and went straight to the fishing city with 300,000 soldiers and horses.

As for the Western Xia courtiers, none of them had any opinions, because Han Meng's power and style at this time made them unable to argue.

In a word, there is someone who is for it and someone who is against.
