"Xianggong, aren't we planning to attack Xingqing Mansion? Why do you want to lay off employees? ”

Liu Yueying saw Chen Yan cutting out the army, and asked with some curiosity.

Chen Yan glanced at Liu Yueying and scratched her upturned nose.

"For the combat effectiveness of the army!"

"Do you think that the army is really stronger when there are more people?"

Chen Yan looked at Liu Yueying and asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it?"

Liu Yueying's eyes looked a little confused.

Chen Yan smiled indulgently and explained.

"Are there many forbidden soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty?"

Liu Yueying nodded.

"A lot."

"What about combat power?"

The corners of Liu Yueying's mouth twitched, indeed, the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Forbidden Army is notoriously weak, as long as it is an army, it can basically press them to the ground and rub them.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Have you heard of the former Qin Fujian?"

"Which one is the one who is a soldier?"

"Yes, it's him, the 800,000 army went south to dominate the world, and then what?"

"The first battle of Feishui was completely annihilated."

Liu Yueying replied honestly.

"Got it? It is not enough for an army to have numbers, but military discipline and military morale, whether rewards and punishments are clear, whether the generals are harmonious, and whether there are many mountains, these are all very important. ”

"I'd rather have an iron army of 5,000 than an army of 100,000 people like the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty."

Chen Yan said.

Liu Yueying nodded as if she didn't understand.

……

On the other hand, Chen Yan began to straighten out the place.

Sweep away the Dangxiang tribes, rescue the enslaved Han Chinese, and then strip the property of the Dangxiang nobles, reduce them to slavery, and then send them to various mines with Western Xia prisoners of war to mine.

On the one hand, in order to train the troops, on the other hand, in order to completely connect the territory of the Danglu army, Chen Yan ordered the newly formed and trained Danglu army to attack and sweep the various cities and fortresses where the Western Xia and Song states met.

Whether it is the Western Xia or the Song Kingdom, he fights!

Xiliang Mansion, Xiping Mansion, Xining Prefecture, Qinzhou, Minzhou, Weizhou and other places in the Song Dynasty have also been defeated by the Dang Capture Army.

For a time, the prosperity of the Dang Capture Army Peak shook the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia!

In a short period of time, the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia were beaten and lost their armor and lost their cities and land.

……

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was still a scene of singing and dancing.

The emperor hid in the harem to write and paint, exerting his artistic cells, and the ministers fought openly and secretly in the court, corrupt and bent the law.

The generals continue to desperately squeeze the soldiers below, the local wealthy merchants and landlords are still drunk and dreaming of death in wealth, and the people are still struggling on the edge of life and death!

Even if there are so many people who understand and want to say that the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, they will be listed as the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty and listed as the hostile and suppressed by the minister.

What do you mean, with us here, how could something happen to this big song, are you saying that we are incompetent?!

Come on, exile this guy who is telling the truth to Lingnan!

The Liao State in the north was beaten by the Jin State and called Dad, a guy named Yelu Dashi, who showed his prominence in the war against the Song Dynasty, and when he was unable to fight against the Jin State, his eyes turned to the more vast land to the west.

The northwest chaos Qinfeng Road lost most of it, and the anti-thieves had even entered the Western Xia, and the Western Xia lost the generals, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xingqing Mansion.

The south side was also full of smoke and dust, and Zhong Xiang, Yang Mo and others led countless people who couldn't survive to raise the anti-flag.

Even Annan, a small country in the southwest, dared to bare his teeth at the Great Song Dynasty!

Everyone was not willing to be lonely.

Only the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were still immersed in the prosperous era of singing and dancing, and they did not realize that the crisis was coming!

……

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

A somewhat sharp voice sounded above the Great Song Dynasty Hall, and Zhao Ji of Song Qinzong sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, his figure was a little thin, and his eyes looked at the front with a slight distraction.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Maybe I'm thinking about how to write his thin gold body to write the best, and how to paint to draw Shen Yun!

And beside him, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard stood respectfully, wearing a big red gown, embroidered with a dragon on the gown, and the dragon looked extremely majestic with teeth and claws.

It was Tong Guan who returned from the defeat of the Northern Expedition!

In order to keep Tong Guan, Song Qinzong deprived him of all authority, leaving only an empty name of a privy deputy envoy and recalling his clothes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something to do?"

Zhao Ji asked with a yawn.

A minister in the palace came out and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book, and the town guard of Fengxiang Mansion in the northwest can ask for a letter, requesting troops to exterminate the traitor Chen Thief on Qinfeng Road, so as to demonstrate the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty and protect the Great Song Dynasty."

This minister has a square and resolute face, and it is Li Gang, who served as Taichang Shaoqing.

Li Gang, the word Boji, Mr. Liangxi, a native of Wuxi, Changzhou, is from Shaowu, Fujian. On the occasion of the Two Song Dynasty, he was a famous minister and a national hero.

After the disgrace of Jingkang, in the Great Song Dynasty of begging peace, he was the most staunch Northern Expedition anti-Jin faction.

In the second year of Song Hui Zongzhenghe, Li Gang ascended to the rank of Jinshi, and served as an official to Taichang Shaoqing. During the time of Song Qinzong, he was awarded the squire of the military department and the right man of Shangshu.

When the Jin soldiers invaded Bianjing in the first year of Jingkang, he served as the imperial envoy of the four walls of the capital, united the army and the people, and repelled the Jin soldiers. However, they were soon ostracized by the capitulationists.

At the beginning of Song Gaozong's accession to the throne, he was once used as a prime minister, and he tried to reform internal affairs, and was deposed after only 77 days.

Shaoxing was reinstated in the second year as the Hunan Xuanfu envoy and Zhitan Prefecture, and was immediately dismissed. He repeatedly appealed to the anti-gold plan, but it was not adopted.

Shaoxing died of illness ten years ago, and was posthumously presented to the young master. In the sixteenth year of Chunxi, he gave the founding prince of Longxi County a special gift, nicknamed "Zhongding".

But what is some nonsense is that Longxi County at that time was not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty......

Song Qinzong and Zhao Ji frowned a little impatiently.

"What's the situation with this thief? Isn't Qin Fenglu heavily armed? Why did he make a fuss. ”

"Your Majesty Chen thief took advantage of the imperial court to send a large army to the north to invade the Liao State, and rebelled, and now it has swept several states, the thief army has arrived at the front line of Gyeongju, the thief head mercenary tens of thousands, the thief army is large, and the generals can't ...... it."

Li Gang stood up and told what he had learned about the situation of the Dang Army.

"Qin Fenglu is in chaos? Where is the Western Army? Let the Western Army go to suppress the thieves, what about the planter, let him go back to Qinfeng Road and Zhe Keqiu to cooperate with the thieves. ”

Zhao Ji said a little casually.

Rebellion or something, he has long been used to it, not a hundred but eighty of the rebellions he has experienced in this dynasty, unless the thieves hit the city of Tokyo, nothing can stop his love of writing and painting.

"Your Majesty, on the Western Xia side, the minister is worried that the Western Xia will see that my Great Song Border Pass is erosive, and it is likely to take advantage of the fire to rob my Great Song Frontier and blackmail Your Majesty to increase the New Year's coin."

Tong Guan said on the side, he still has a strategic vision, and he can see that the Great Song Dynasty border is in chaos, and Xixia is definitely not willing to be lonely and wants to step in.
