Chapter 1056: The Emperor Who Can't Go to War
Xingqing Mansion is the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and at this moment in the Western Xia Imperial Palace with a strong Western Regions style, Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, as well as the domestic general Li Zhizhong, and Ren Dejing, the national abbot and minister of the state, are discussing countermeasures.
Ren Dejing, a subordinate from the Song Dynasty, because he married his daughter to Li Qianshun, and he did have real talent and learning, he gradually became the minister of state in charge of the military and political power in Western Xia over the years.
The letter sent by the Huaxia Empire with stern wording and a strong murderous intent between the lines was placed on the table at this moment.
Originally, Li Qianshun didn't take the dispute with the empire to heart, in his opinion, it was just a few people who died, and it was okay to send some money and money to compensate him, but he never expected the empire to be so vigorous that he actually declared war directly, and the army of six legions pressed the border.
At present, although the imperial army has not yet invaded the border of Western Xia, it has all been stationed in Taiyuan and Lanzhou, forming a two-sided attack on the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia.
According to the intelligence, the empire came to seven legions and patrol troops to cooperate with the operation this time, not counting auxiliary troops such as civilian husbands, with a total of more than 600,000 people, which can be regarded as a mobilization of the army.
By now, Li Qianshun and the Western Xia government and the opposition had realized the determination of the empire, and to be honest, no one, including Li Qianshun, wanted to go to war with this powerful country in such a difficult time.
Looking at his two most trusted courtiers, Li Qianshun frowned and asked, "Do you think there is still room for dΓ©tente with the empire?" β
Ren Dejing glanced at the ugly face of the lord of the country, and said stubbornly: "The imperial army does not like to exaggerate the number of its own troops, and this time it is claimed that there are 600,000 soldiers to attack, but the actual number of auxiliaries is more than one million, so the minister thinks... It is unlikely that the other side will retreat. β
"Alas!" Li Qianshun sighed: "I think it's the same. β
Since this battle was inevitable, Li Qianshun had no choice but to ask: "The enemy has already reached our doorstep and is ready to destroy our country, so we can only fight to the death with it." β
When it comes to real war, there is an inevitable problem, that is, the army and supplies, and the army of Western Xia is definitely not lacking, what they lack now is food, money and other materials.
"Immediately spread my will to the other military commanders and tribal leaders, if you want not to be destroyed, then the only way to fight the enemy is to raise the strength of the whole country to fight the enemy as before!"
When Li Zhizhong heard Li Qianshun's order, he couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "Now all military departments have selfish intentions, and if they don't have the necessary money, food, and silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."
Although Li Zhizhong's words were not finished, Li Qianshun and Ren Dejing immediately understood what he meant, if they wanted those military divisions and tribal leaders to send troops, they must be given enough benefits, at least to provide the soldiers with the necessary military rations.
"Tell them that I don't have any food, but I won't let them come in vain this time! I will take out the gold and silver treasures accumulated by the royal family in the past, as long as I can defeat the imperial army this time, everyone will be rewarded! β
"Lord, you use the wealth of the royal family, this... Not okay? General Li Zhizhong exclaimed.
"Confused!" Li Qianshun rebuked: "If Western Xia is destroyed by the empire, then these treasures will become the spoils of war for the imperial army, it is better to rely on the dead things left by these predecessors to change a glimmer of life!" β
"Your Majesty is wise!" Ren Dejing thought so, and immediately said: "The minister is also willing to give up his family wealth to support this war!" β
Ren Dejing is Li Qianshun's father-in-law, and he, a vassal of the Song Dynasty, was able to become a prince of the state in Western Xia entirely because the lord trusted him.
If Western Xia is destroyed and Li Qianshun becomes a prisoner, then just like he said, all the glory and wealth will become a thing of the past in an instant, so it is better to fight with all his might, so it is not unjust to lose.
Hearing Ren Dejing's words, Li Qianshun was deeply moved, after all, the person who can stand by his side in such a desperate situation is definitely the most loyal person.
Weng and his son-in-law sang and harmonized, which made the general Li Zhizhong present a little embarrassed, he could only grit his teeth and show his loyalty, and also donated his wealth.
Just when the Western Xia Kingdom was preparing to mobilize the strength of the whole country to face the empire, the people in the empire were also extremely concerned about this war, and a new type of gambling industry was born.
Of course, there is no such thing as a Western Xia victory in the gambling game, and the bookmaker mainly sets up how many days the empire can conquer the Western Xia, as well as the proportion of battle losses, etc., and prepares the corresponding odds for it.
After Li Nan heard Pan Jinlian, who often goes shopping, say this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You say, if I also go to buy some, will I lose all the property that this dealer has lost?" β
Pan Jinlian smiled coquettishly, leaned on Li Nan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the empire, and the army that attacked Western Xia also listens to you, if you do this, let alone a small dealer, even if there is no one in the whole world who is your opponent." β
Li Nan sighed with some dissatisfaction: "Although I am in a high position now, I want to go to Xixia to have a look, but I am stopped by countless people, it is really boring!" β
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have been a little too energetic lately." Pan Jinlian sat on Li Nan's lap, stretched out her arms around his neck, and said with a smile: "Why don't the concubines accompany you to fight on other battlefields?" β
"Drink!" Seeing that this little goblin actually dared to provoke him, Li Nan suddenly became full of war, stood up and carried her on his shoulders and strode towards the dormitory......
For men, there have always been two battlefields.
Although Li Nan now has an heir, he can no longer be like the royal driving and personal expedition he used to want, whether it is the followers around him, the queen and concubines of the harem, and the officials and people of the Manchu Dynasty, he does not want the king of a country to be in danger in person.
The battlefield is frustrated, and the clearance is indeed proud!
After a fierce battle, Li Nan looked at the exhausted Pan Jinlian in his arms and smiled with satisfaction.
To tell the truth, Pan Jinlian is really a rare stunner, especially since she is not married to Li Nan perfectly, and she can't have high-level talents in other fields like other concubines, so she always welcomes Li Nan in life.
The most varied in clothing is Pan Jinlian, who learned about the various costumes of the later generations from Emma and Natasha, and then asked the craftsmen of the empire to sew them, just like at this time, she also wore a set of student uniforms of the island nation.
The snow-white knee-length cotton socks, as well as the plain miniskirt and tight white shirt, immediately made Li Nan enter a violent state.
It's a pity that Pan Jinlian doesn't know martial arts after all, and she doesn't have a strengthened physique like Natasha, although she tried her best to fight, she was defeated in the end.
Pan Jinlian also knew Li Nan's physical fitness and strength, so after she eased up some of her strength, she said in an apologetic tone: "Your Majesty, it's all to blame for the incompetence of the concubines." β
