Chapter 1259 Two Letters

In addition to vehicles, their weapons include magic guns, sapper shovels, and a "company" of 100 people, but each company is equipped with five more powerful ambush mortars.

As for the Thunderbolt cannon, which had better performance, it was concentrated and equipped in the artillery corps by Su You, and it became an independent command.

This unit was the most important division of the three thousand, a unit of five hundred men, armed with twenty-five thunderbolts, and the armament of the artillery included not only cannons, but also sapper shovels and revolvers.

In addition to the 3,000 regular army, there should actually be a large number of attachments, but Su You wanted to test the action ability of the cadet soldiers, and directly ordered to carry all the baggage to march to Weizhou, and the ammunition was resupplied in Xingluocang.

Zhengzhou to Xingluocang, just 500 miles, Xingluocang to Weizhou, just 1,500 miles.

Today, the Bianjing-Zhengzhou-Xingluo-Weizhou trunk line has been built, and the asphalt road can run four vans in parallel.

On such roads, the maximum speed of the whole cavalry army can reach 300 miles a day, and the military vehicles can reach 150 miles.

Except for the occasional two-day order the whole army to march 200 kilometers in order to test the effectiveness of the training, the advance speed of the troops was limited to 100 miles on weekdays.

In four days, the troops arrived at Xingluo Okura.

The first thing he did when he arrived at Xingluocang was to take advantage of the fact that Zhang Qi and Wu Anzhi were both in Xingluocang, and Su You, in the name of the Sixth Route Transit Division, sent a report to the Military Aircraft Department, requesting that the Sixth Route be transferred to a wartime state of readiness and that logistics be transferred to military management.

Zhang Dian is still on the road, and the military aircraft department has no leader, so he can only be temporarily appointed by Cai Jing as the chief secretary, and Zhao Ji is directly commanded.

It can be said that the telegram made Zhao Ji too addicted to commanding the battle, and soon Xingluocang received a reply from the Military Aircraft Department, agreeing to Su You's request, and at the same time announcing the appointment of Wu Anzhi to promote the logistics director of the six routes.

The troops received a large amount of baggage, equipment, and ammunition at Xingluocang, then turned north and rushed to Weizhou along the road by the Jing River.

Liang Yiduo was happily waiting for Su You's arrival, but Shen Kuo suddenly changed his face, showing him the edict of the Western Xia lord Liang Zuo, as well as the Western Xia Jingsai Army's commander Yu Zang Huama and the exiled minister Fuping Hou, Tiandu asked for the blood letter of Li Wenzhao's distress letter!

Shen Kuo severely condemned the perverse behavior of the Western Xia ministers, imprisoned the monarch, and deceived the suzerain, and demanded that the Western Xia side immediately release the forgiveness and punish the usurper Liang Yiburi.

At the same time, he solemnly stated that the Great Song Dynasty, as the suzerain, must bear the responsibility of protecting the feudal clan; We must fulfill our sacred obligation to survive and put an end to chaos.

If the relatives of the Western Xia ministers do not listen to the advice and continue to act perversely, the Great Song Dynasty will have to arm into Xia and intervene!

The situation between the two countries suddenly became extremely tense.

Since Liang Yi Duo is also a member of the Liang family, Shen Kuo continued to announce: The Liang family's evil deeds and long-term concealment afterwards have completely made the Great Song Dynasty completely lose trust in him, and Liang Yi Duo is also a member of the Liang family, so he is no longer suitable as a representative of the Song and Xia negotiations.

Ask him to leave Ningxia City immediately, and let the Western Xia appoint another Western Xia official who is not from the Liang system to negotiate.

Liang Yiduo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, although he was expelled, he still couldn't stay outside Ningxia City, and at the same time gave Shen Kuo a private letter, asking him to transfer it to Su You.

Su You's reply letter was very concerned about the situation of this old friend, and told him the difference between personal friendship and justice, and in turn persuaded him to put righteousness first.

He wanted him to unite all the pro-royal forces in Western Xia and even within the Liang family, and overthrow the Liang family and Liang Yiburi, who had been buried.

The queen mother's withdrawal of the curtain, returning the government and the king, and returning the peace and Western Xia is the right way to solve this crisis.

I reminded Brother Liang at the time that using deception to hide his mistakes is in itself an act of adding mistakes to mistakes.

I once hoped that Brother Liang would be frank and sincere, and do his part to correct the signs of chaos in his own country.

He also asked Brother Liang to remind the authorities of the Gui Dynasty that if the development of the situation was not stopped immediately, then the situation in Western Xia would eventually slide into the foreseeable abyss.

Now it seems that the rulers of Western Xia were so dizzy that they did not listen to this advice from us.

Although I sympathize with Western Xia and can even protect Brother Liang, these are only in the realm of personal feelings.

I would like to tell Brother Liang again now, just as I told Brother Liang at the Great Xiangguo Temple at the beginning of the year, if we don't make changes in the roots, the situation will definitely get worse.

The signs of this crisis had already appeared years ago, but due to the Western Xia side, it had evolved into the current situation.

All this was not caused by the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty only fulfilled the responsibilities of a suzerainty according to etiquette and righteousness.

So the key now is to return to power, if the Western Xia immediately returns to power, then there is still a hope for peace.

This letter was written in a dignified and flawless manner, and Liang Yi had to sigh at the benevolence and righteousness of Yixi Weishe after receiving it.

However, out of luck, Liang Yi still wrote another threatening letter to Su You, saying that the Xia State was ready, and if the Song State must continue to interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Xia, Hugh blamed the Western Xia for invading and retaliating with the whole country's troops.

Su You's reply was not at all harshly worded because of Liang Yiduo's contempt and provocation, but was still as earnestly admonished and consoled as always.

Brother Liang, you have to calm down, especially in today's Western Xia, you especially need people who can think calmly.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small meal, and every action taken by policymakers must be considered thoroughly, otherwise although it may flourish, it will certainly perish.

What the Western Xia should do, the Great Song Dynasty could not interfere, but it would definitely take measures equal to it.

Everyone will face many choices in their lives. It's just like when Brother Xian came to Hoard Anzhai to persuade him to surrender, and I once told Brother Xian about my choice.

Brother Yu is incompetent, I can only sincerely wish Brother Liang here, I hope that you can think carefully at the turning point of the country, family, and personal destiny, and make the right choice to make the country stable, the people peaceful, the family glorious, and the personal conscience clear.

In order to avoid suspicion, Su You handed over the two letters to the Military Supervision Department for review in advance, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed them over to Shen Kuo on his behalf.

So the four letters that went back and forth were seen by the reporters of the Bianjing Times and the Bianjing Business Daily who accompanied the army.

The reporter immediately sent the letter to Bianjing, and the two newspapers published the full text.

The two "Letter to the Young Master" and the "Letter to the Envoy of the Return to Xia" completely showed the ugly face of the Western Xia's seemingly obedient but actually wolf's ambition, and at the same time showed Su You's mind, temperament, wisdom, conduct and cultivation, which immediately caused heated discussions in Bianjing.

Such an attitude of the Western Xia made the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty see the true face of the so-called "Fanbang tribute, and gold silk every year".

The trend first started with Taixue, and the students of Guozijian and Taixue immediately began to post big-character posters in Bianjing City, knocking on the court and asking for orders, asking the imperial court to cut off the New Year's coin, punish the unsubordinate, survive and die, and rebuild the Western Xia Gangchang!

However, although Su You's telegrams and letters were exchanged very frequently, his pace became slower as soon as Huayin passed.

The Royal Military Cadets joined the five new armies of Commander Gao Zunyu here, and then began joint military exercises to accept the results.

In August, Shaanxi was ripe, and all walks of life began to frantically reserve and process military rations.

Su You finally arrived in Weizhou and summoned military commanders from all walks of life to give face-to-face instructions.

On the Western Xia side, new envoys were re-dispatched.

The Great Song Dynasty demanded that diplomats should not have the surname Liang, not have too much to do with the Liang family, retain a certain loyalty to the royal family, and at the same time be familiar with diplomatic etiquette and regulations, this person is really not easy to pick.

In the end, he picked and chosen, and even picked out the deputy envoy of the Western Xia Privy Council, and the Jishi Army made Jia Liang.

This Nima ...... Shen Kuo, an envoy of this level, couldn't bear it, and after Su You heard about it, he immediately rushed to Ningxia City and met with the Xia State delegation in Rong City, outside the city.

This is the highest-level political consultation between the two countries to date, and it can also be said that it is the last negotiation, the last hope for peace.

Once it is broken, the most brutal war between Song and Xia will surely be ushered in.

The negotiations began at the banquet where they met for the first time, and Su You and Jialiang were extremely excited, and the two sides cited scriptures and argued endlessly, and the servants of the diplomatic missions of the two sides were stunned in minutes.

In the end, Jia Liang Yizheng sternly told Su You that if the Great Song Dynasty decided to interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Xia, the subjects of the Western Xia would only raise troops to fight, and history had told the great Western Xia people that any invasion against the Western Xia would not end well.

Su You sneered, saying that Mr. Jia did not make it clear that the Great Song Dynasty had never launched an unjust war of aggression against the outside world, and that the Great Song Dynasty, as a responsible big country, had always been responsible for the duties of its soldiers, which had always been to defend their own home and country, resist foreign humiliation, save the people of other countries, and be invited by the monarch of the vassal country to survive and help the crisis.

Jialiang also analyzed the national strength of the Western Xia, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the five major military divisions along the border, Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion still have considerable troops, and hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would consider the strength of the Xia Dynasty clearly, not lose both, and finally cheapen the Liao State.

Su You analyzes it morally, and there is no need to say much about the strength and weakness of the way; Where righteousness lies, the Great Song Dynasty cannot shirk it.

There is still one last bit of time in Western Xia, don't get lost, there is no need to be unpredictable!
