Chapter 376: Crisis

Although Li Liangzuo has made major strategic arrangements, it will still take a month or two or even longer to wait for these deployments to play a role, but as time passes, although the wartime Xia army on the front line has gradually gained the upper hand, there are many crises in Daxia at this time.

Due to the long-term war, and the place of war is in the Western Regions, it is the necessary place for the Silk Road of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Silk Road is basically cut off as soon as the Western Regions starts the war, without the support of the Silk Road, the tax revenue of the Great Xia Kingdom has declined rapidly, and the war consumes money and food, so since the Xia Army's Western Expedition, the financial revenue of the Great Xia Kingdom has been in a state of making ends meet, and now Li Liangzuo's war against the Serzhu Empire has reached the point of going crazy, although the Xia Army has gradually gained an advantage on the battlefield, However, Li Liangzuo still asked for a large-scale increase in troops in the rear, and so far the adult males of the Great Xia Kingdom have basically gone to the battlefield in the Western Regions.

Xingqing Mansion Summer Palace, since Li Liangzuo left, he did not hide Feixue and took on the important task of supervising the country.

"Empress Niang, as Wei Chen just reported, now the empire's finances are beyond their means, the remaining money and grain in the treasury are no longer enough to last for a month, and due to the expansion of the war, a large number of men have been transferred to the battlefield, which has seriously affected the farming ......," Zhou Wentai reported to Wuzang Feixue one by one.

After thinking for a while, Wuzang Feixue said to Zhou Wentai: "In this way, Lord Zhou, the palace will draw a batch of money and grain from the inner treasury, which will be enough for the front-line army for a month. ”

"Please forgive Weichen for bluntly saying that this month's money and food are not enough at all, and winter is coming, and there is likely to be a white disaster in the northern grasslands, so the imperial court must prepare enough disaster relief funds."

"How much more is the difference?"

"It will take about fifteen million ......"

"How can there be such a big difference, fifteen million guan is not a small amount!"

"Wechen knows that in addition to dealing with the White Plague, supplying money and food to the front line, and the officials are paying a greater part of the pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers, and fifteen million Guan Wechen are worried that it will not be enough!"

"I don't know what Aiqing can do?"

"Now only His Majesty has issued an order to open the strategic reserves, and His Majesty has been taking out a large amount of money and grain for strategic reserves over the years, in order to save the crisis at a critical moment."

"This palace knows, and at this time, this palace will want Your Majesty to ask for instructions."

At this moment, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly walked in, and then saluted Wuzang Feixue and Zhou Wentai and said: "Yu Niangniang, Lord Zhou, just now the slave received a secret report, the Liao Emperor suddenly gathered troops on a large scale in Zhongding Mansion in the name of the military parade, and the slave thought that the Liao Emperor was likely to take advantage of the situation to attack our country, so please prepare Niangniang as soon as possible." ”

"Now that the main forces of our army are outside, even if the palace wants to prepare, it can't prepare! Ordered the local garrison to disperse the forces in case they were annihilated by the enemy in one fell swoop, and the garrisons in various places needed to be vigilant in case the Liao army sneaked attack. ”

"Yes, the minion will do it."

"Niangniang, if there is nothing wrong, Weichen will also leave."

"Zhou Aiqing walks slowly, and the palace will not send it."

After everyone left, Wuzang Feixue said to the magpie: "Drive to the Chu Palace." ”

"Niangniang, what are you doing at this time!"

"Your Majesty said before leaving, you can ask the imperial uncle if you encounter problems, although the imperial uncle is old, but he is very shrewd, and now I am afraid that the only person who can persuade His Majesty to stop the army is the old King Chu." Didn't hide the flying snow and said meaningfully.

As the temporary steward of the Great Xia Kingdom, no one knows the family background of the Great Xia Kingdom better than the Great Xia Kingdom, and now with the delay of the war, not only from the finances, but also the economy, people's livelihood and other aspects There are big problems, in the opinion of the Great Xia Feixue, all this is caused by Li Liangzuo's foreign wars, so in order to return the Great Xia Kingdom to the normal track, the old Chu King Wei Ge Ning Ling and himself and the court officials together to persuade Li Liangzuo to stop the army and make peace.

Chu Wangfu, Wei Ge Ning Ling is also worried about the future of the Great Xia Kingdom at this time, although the Wei Ge Ning Ling has been far away from the political arena, but he also knows everything about the Great Xia Kingdom, all of which are inseparable from Li Liangzuo's support and the prestige of the Wei Ge Ning Ling, just like the old saying 'There is an old man in the family is like a treasure', and now the Wei Ge Ning Ling is the national treasure of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is very important to get the support of the Wei Ge Ning Ling for not hiding Feixue.

"Lord, the queen is here and is waiting in the lobby." The housekeeper of the palace walked up to Wei Ge Ning Ling and said.

"If this king's prediction is correct, the queen's coming this time should be to persuade this king to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the army."

"Then should His Majesty strike the army?"

"It should, but it shouldn't be ......" Wei Ge Ningling left the study with unfinished words.

After coming to the lobby, Brother Ning Ling said to Wuzang Feixue: "The old minister sees the queen's mother. ”

"Uncle Huang is exempt from courtesy, how can a concubine be a woman's family to bear such a big gift from Uncle Huang......"

Wei Ge Ning Ling was not polite, and after getting up, he sat down directly and asked Wuzang Feixue: "I don't know why the queen mother came to find the old minister this time?" ”

Wuzang Feixue told Wei Ge Ning Ling about the recent events in the imperial court, and then continued to say to Wei Ge Ning Ling: "Uncle Huang, now that the Great Xia Kingdom is in crisis, this palace wants to ask Uncle Huang if he should let His Majesty withdraw his troops. ”

Wei Ge Ning Ling said to Wuzang Feixue: "Whether Your Majesty withdraws or not withdraws the army is not something that Niangniang and the old minister can decide, Niangniang's consideration Weichen understands, but even if the old minister and Niangniang go up together, Your Majesty may not agree to withdraw the army." ”

Why is that? Please also ask the imperial uncle to show it. ”

"Even if Your Majesty wants to stop the army and make peace, I'm afraid Maliksha is not willing, there can only be one in the Western Regions Great Xia Kingdom and the Sergi Empire, and the loss of the Western Regions is equivalent to losing control of the middle section of the Silk Road for the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Sezhu Empire that gets the Western Regions is bound to increase its national strength, and then the situation will be even more unfavorable for our Great Xia Kingdom."

"But Uncle Huang, if you continue to fight like this, the Great Xia Kingdom will be destroyed......"

"Our days are not easy, and the days of the Searle Empire are not easy, now it depends on who can hold on; But now this king is most worried about the Liao and Song countries, and if they attack us from behind at this time, we are basically powerless. ”

"What does Uncle Huang mean?"

"Once there is a war, hard fighting is not the way, you can only exchange space for time, waiting for the arrival of Your Majesty's reinforcements, and send a small group of cavalry troops to disturb the Song army's grain road, the Song army is dominated by infantry, and the marching speed is slow, as long as its grain route is cut off, then the Song army will have no combat power, and it is best for Your Majesty to send an army to give priority to deploying defense in some strategic places......"

Wei Ge Ning Ling told all his thoughts to Wuzang Feixue, the purpose is to let him prepare early, in case he is caught off guard at that time, Wuzang Feixue is the queen of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he has to bear a great responsibility for the Great Xia Kingdom, if Li Liangzuo wins a big victory in the Western Regions, and his nest is gone after he returns, then the Great Xia Kingdom will be over, and the Great Song Dynasty is the starting point of the Silk Road, and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely close the border field before the war, and the Great Xia Kingdom will really enter the Jedi at that time.

Asking for recommendations, asking for support, Tianyu is grateful......
