Chapter 1064 is worse than the world

Zhao Ji asked, "What is active defense?" ”

Guo Kui said: "When Shao Bao was serving as the pacification envoy of Shaanxi Road, he used it once, in fact, he took the initiative to attack, hit the enemy's assembly department, fought a decisive battle in the enemy's territory, destroyed its logistics, killed and injured its soldiers, and captured its soldiers, so that it was difficult for it to form a short-term threat to our side, and used tactical offensive as a means to achieve the goal of strategic defense. ”

"Now that my Great Song Dynasty has captured Hehuang to the west, lifted the threat of Western Xia through the Qingtang Dynasty, controlled Hengshan head-on, leveled Xiaoguan, divided Tiandu Mountain, and has achieved a strategic advantage."

"In the three states of Linfu on the east road, the wool industry is now very profitable, and the loyalty of Fanluo has been greatly improved, and the control is more powerful. Compared with 10 years ago, the armament has made rapid progress, and most of the walled forts built by Zhang Kang in those years have been upgraded to concrete forts, and their defense capabilities have become more powerful. ”

"In the situation against Xia, we have formed a situation of threatening Western Xia from west to east."

"Especially in the active middle road, generals such as Chong Ge Yao and Wang Wenyu often broke into the territory of Western Xia to harass the tribes and burn pasture, which greatly weakened the logistics of the Xia people in the Hetao area."

"But we must also see that if we want to complete the strategic goal of destroying Western Xia, we still have a long way to go."

"The Tanguts have mobilized their country to rebuild the Iron Harrier and expand it to 5,000 men."

"The soldiers and horses are all equipped with cold-forged steel armor, which is difficult to penetrate, and they have not tasted defeat since the formation of the army, and soon stabilized the Qingtang border and eliminated the Shazhou rebellion."

"Then he turned northeast, defeated the Tatar and Uighur forces at the Ulag Sea, completely controlled the surrounding area of the Urakhai Sea, and gained the land of water and grass."

"After two months of repair, the Tatar Uighur tribe who surrendered wrapped in the Ulama Sea suddenly appeared in Wuliangsuhai and defeated the Heqing of the Liao State, and the second army of Jinsu was greatly shaken."

"But then the Empress Dowager Liang asked the Liao Emperor again, released the prisoners, and withdrew the army."

"In one year, the Iron Harrier traveled more than 3,000 miles, conquered almost half of the Western Xia, and showed extremely strong mobility and combat ability, which shocked all the forces opposing the Liang clan in his country in one fell swoop."

Zhao Ji's heart was stirred when he heard this, how good would this Nima be if I was the army of the Great Song Dynasty: "Do you know who their commander is?" ”

Tong Guan said: "According to the Tianzihao spy report sent back by the Western Xia, the commander of the Western Xia Iron Harrier Expedition is a famous general of the Western Xia, and the Privy Council and the Imperial Tent Camp are all recruiting Liang Yongneng; And his deputy is a traitor of the Great Song Dynasty, a deputy privy envoy of the Western Xia, and an envoy of the Jishi Army...... Home beams. ”

After speaking, he suggested to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, before the reconstruction of the Iron Harrier, it was this family Liang who was in charge, and he also had an identity equivalent to that of the minister, the Privy Council knew confidential affairs, and he was in charge of various places in Western Xia. ”

"This Iron Harrier Expedition has passed through all the ways, without any hindrance, and those hostile Tibetan people have almost no chance to escape, which is not at all in line with the nomadic nature of the Tibetan people."

"The Tatar and Uighur tribes were suddenly surrounded and forced to land on most of them, which was made clear in advance."

"This information must have been obtained by the Western Xia Privy Council, and this Jia Liang is the secretion of the Western Xia Privy Council!"

"This person's threat to my Great Song is far greater than that of the Iron Harrier ten times, please send a spy to assassinate me!"

This Nima ......

Zhao Ji looked at Su You with a smile: "Mingrun, what do you say?" ”

"Assassination! Of course, it's better to kill it! ”

Hey?!

Fortunately, Su You bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if you can really assassinate you, Jia Liang has already died a hundred times." ”

You scared me!

Su You continued: "Cao Mo robbed Duke Huan, to leave the assassination Qingji, the assassination in ancient and modern times, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there are not many successes. ”

"It wasn't until the beginning and end of the Tang Dynasty, when Hu Feng was a chivalrous man, when the law was relaxed, and the dynasty was disordered, that assassins prevailed."

"During the Xianzong Dynasty, the so-called 'traitors are all over the world, and assassins are full of masters'."

"Those who can succeed are not the only ones."

"The Xia people are accustomed to living in groups, the customs are different, Jialiang is now the head of the Tugan tribe of the Western Xia tribe, and the founder of the Iron Harrier, with thousands of fine horses around him, and the arch is strictly guarded."

"Those who want other heads, in addition to Dong Yu of the Qingtang Dynasty, Li Wenzhao of Tiandu Mountain, and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, there are still famous clans in Western Xia, Jing Xun Yu Party, and old ministers of Forgiveness, but has anyone succeeded?"

"As far as I know, in my Great Song Dynasty alone, there were Wang Shao, Chong Ge, Gao Zunyu, Wang Hou, and Li Yong, who once carried out an assassination plan against him, and all of them were given away."

These are true, even those who were sent out were all with grief and indignation for the noble purpose of the country's traitor, and they didn't know that they were going to assassinate them, and they were the biggest secret spies in the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Shao and Wang Hou were deliberately acting, and the others were really angry.

But whether it's true or not, in Chaogu, who knew the news in advance, they all lost.

This undoubtedly also increased the importance that Empress Dowager Liang attached to Mr. Jia Liang, and the reason is very simple - the enemies are so persevering, which shows that what Jia Liang has done has poked them in the sore spot.

"This person is extremely treacherous, he knows that he is full of enemies, and he is a traitor, or Xixia is in charge of confidential affairs, and he is very cautious in handling things."

"Now that the Iron Harrier has become a great success, and the record is so brilliant, Jia Liang is really in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Liang, and it is more closely protected."

"Let's not talk about whether the assassination can be successful, even if it is an assassination of him, the military strength of Western Xia will not be reduced, on the contrary, the counterattack after every assassination operation will cause my spy network to suffer a heavy blow in Western Xia."

"Needless to say, the importance of espionage is self-evident, and I think that it is better to collect more intelligence than to waste precious resources on assassination."

"Tong Duwei, you must know that you are in charge of the military aircraft department. The primary task of the Jiyi Hall is to collect military, political and economic information on the Western Xia, to help the country understand the strength, military deployment, and military changes of the Western Xia, so as to serve the grand strategy. ”

"Compared to intelligence gathering, assassinating enemy generals is only a trivial matter for Kiyiji."

"Of course it's not impossible, you can try it without losing our spy personnel. But don't get your hopes up too much, and don't get too attached to that. ”

"An unsophisticated assassination is not even as effective as provoking and exploiting the enemy's contradictions and letting them do it themselves."

Several veterans nodded, indeed, these generals of the Western Army have all used this trick, and because the Western Xia people are also full of internal contradictions, this trick often works.

Seeing that Tong Guan had calmed down, Su You nodded to him encouragingly, and let Guo Kui continue.

So Guo Kuicai continued: "To take Western Xia, with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, although it is difficult, it is not without opportunities. ”

Zhao Ji was suddenly excited, and said a lot of difficulties, but in the end, there was still a chance? This is...... Everyone is bad, Da Song didn't get the first place?

Guo Kui began to analyze: "Since the Western Xia defeated Weizhou first and Xiaoguan twice, the national strength has been greatly damaged. ”

"In the first battle of Weizhou, our army defeated the most elite iron harrier in Western Xia, and forgive Zuo was only spared, and the loss of elite men and horses was no less than 100,000."

"In World War II, the Xixia people lost the Tiandu Mountain, the Hengshan Mountain was in my hands, the Hetao was looted, and now it is still being harassed, making its country like a river."

"However, the tenacity of the party Xiang Qiang can be said to be famous all over the world since Li Jiqian's time, and after the defeat, he still devoted the country's strength for several years to rebuild the iron harrier, which can be called a desperate army."

"And its power, we have seen it now, can be called a decisive force related to the safety of Xixia."

"However, although the enemy's ** force is still strong, the people's livelihood is withering, which brings many contradictions and chaos among the forces in the country."

Zhao Ji was very satisfied with the correctness of his inference, and sure enough...... It's still worse than rotten.

I heard Guo Kui say: "If you want to take Western Xia, you must first take Western Xia." ”

"Li Bingchang has been in charge of the government for two years, but the real power is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yi, and there is no sign of returning to power, which has led to the great dissatisfaction of the clans loyal to the name of the Western Xia, and the contradiction between relatives and the royal party has reached its peak."

"The means of consolidating power in those years were war, and the implementation of the Han system, and the use of a large number of newcomers who opposed the officials and magnates of the previous dynasty, achieving the goal of controlling the court."

"And after the death of Liang Zuo, the means of consolidating the power of the Empress Dowager Liang are no different from them."

"One is still a war, and the other is to use a large number of old ministers and new military tribes who were suppressed during the Langzuo period, with the slogan of restoring the Xia system, and recruiting a group of people to be vassal under the banner of foreign relatives to achieve the goal of controlling the court."

"When he arrived in Bingchang, although he could not control the military power, there were countless famous tribes who were loyal to the royal family, and he was also very fond of Confucian culture. So he consulted and learned from the scribes who were captured by the Western Xia, and prepared to 'resume the Han ceremony' in the Western Xia and abolish the 'Fan Yi', in the final analysis, it was still for the sake of power. ”

"We can take advantage of this situation, after all, Bingchang is the nominal monarch of Western Xia, and he is already in power."

"Our dynasty should send envoys to send them ceremonial rules and regulations to express encouragement and hint that the Great Song Dynasty will support them in order to provoke and intensify the contradictions in Western Xia and cause them to become chaotic."
