Chapter 767: The Soldiers Are Rising

The winter of the sixth year of Xuanhe soon came to an end in a heavy snowfall, under which all the ugliness and beauty of the world were covered, as if there had never been.

The situation in the world changed a lot all of a sudden, Zhao Song replaced the Son of Heaven, after Emperor Daojun returned to Bianjing, there was no one around, and he could only live in seclusion in Genyue, Li Jing collected troops and returned to Chang'an, brought back nearly 200,000 troops, and became one of the winners, while the Jin people carried tens of thousands of stones, grains, grass and gold back to Hebei, and defeated Zhao Kai in Baigou by the way, destroying Zhao Song's resistance in Hebei, making the anti-Jin forces in Hebei turn from the bright side to the underground, and the forces were scattered, It did not have much impact on the rule of the Jin people in Hebei.

The First Battle of Bianjing had a far-reaching impact, and the soldiers came to the city. Zhao Song's country was in danger, and in an instant, Zhao Song's reality was suddenly exposed to the world, letting the world know that Zhao Song was actually not as powerful as it seemed, and his armament was lax, it was simply an embroidered pillow, which had no effect, and could be pushed down casually; And the loss of Hebei, the people fell into dire straits, and in Henan, although the Jin people were less rampant, but in fact, because of the supply of Bianjing, in fact, the people's lives were not very good, and even some people seemed to have a premonition that the war was coming, and they moved to Luoyang to save their lives. After the beginning of the year, I saw that on the official road from Henan to Luoyang, people were everywhere heading in the direction of Luoyang, which brought huge pressure to the Luoyang government. What is simply that Li Jing hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Luoyang in order to meet the rebel army, so as to ensure the supply of these refugees.

In comparison, the situation in Bianjing City has reached the point of deterioration, after the eradication of Cai Jing and others, Zhao Ji returned to the hermit of Genyue, Zhao Huan held great power, and wantonly promoted his cronies and officials, but the people under him are too bad, they seem to be sanctimonious, but in fact, they are well-dressed beasts behind their backs, and corrupt officials abound, no less than when Zhao Ji was in power.

There are countless people who compete for power and profit among these ministers, and they still care about the lives of the common people, which makes the hearts of some ministers with conscience gloomy, and many ministers have left the imperial court.

Zhao Song Junchen didn't know that the Jin army far north had sharpened its knives and was ready to attack the Song army at any time, even Li Jing did not expect that after the early spring, the secret envoy of the Jin people had already gone to Western Xia to meet the new emperor Li Renai of Western Xia.

"Uncle Wang, the Jin people are preparing to attack Li Jing and invite us to make a move." In the palace, Li Renai recalled Brother Wei Mingcha, this matter is very important, although the relationship between Li Renai and Brother Wei Mingcha is very tense, but at this time, Li Renai still gave up the contradiction between the two, changed the intention of the Jin people, and said: "The Jin people said that as long as we send troops, as long as we can capture the place, it will be owned by us." Li Renai obviously agreed with this, and his face was full of excitement and pride.

Although the Western Xia and Li Jing are reconciled, but in fact, the Western Xia is full of resentment towards Li Jing, eager to destroy Li Jing of the nine clans, the mother of the Western Xia Emperor has become Li Jing's concubine, Li Renai is equal to an extra godfather on his head, such a shame is tearing Li Renai's heart every day, so that Li Renai can't wait to raise troops to attack Li Jing now.

There was no chance before, but now the opportunity has come, according to the suggestion of the Jin envoy, they will lobby the Song Dynasty to attack Li Jing with the Song people, and prepare a five-way army to attack together, and Li Jing must be killed.

"We all the way, the Jin people all the way, the grassland allies all the way, the Song army two roads, respectively from Hehuang, Guanzhong, Luoyang, Yunzhou, grassland, five places to attack Li Jing, the momentum is huge, although Li Jing is brave and good at fighting, but in the face of the attack of the five-way army, there are about a million troops, this is an opportunity." Brother Wei Mingcha also showed a hint of intent, if he could defeat Li Jing, or even seize Li Jing's territory, for Western Xia, not only could he get rid of the shame on his head, but also could seize more territory.

"Can it really be this time?" Li Renai hesitated for a while, he really wanted to defeat Li Jing, but thinking of Li Jing's strength, Li Renai was a little worried, and his original thoughts were a little moved, but he suddenly swayed.

"We have to try, our army is already on the way back, and we will be able to attack in April at most." Brother Wei Ming Cha thought for a moment, this five-way attack, there is a great opportunity, although Brother Wei Ming Cha is worried about Li Jing's strength, but thinking of the benefits he is about to get, he suddenly became excited, and said: "Five-way attack, Li Jing's focus is still to guard against the Jin and Song people, as for we can delay the time of sending troops back a little, and after the three sides fight, we will take the opportunity to seize Hehuang and directly attack Guanzhong, if we can, we will not only seize Guanzhong, but also directly attack the Central Plains, and restore the appearance of the strong Qin back then." ”

"Uncle Wang even said that this time Uncle Wang was asked to personally command the army." Li Renai thought about it and decided to let Brother Wei Mingcha command the Western Xia army, after all, it was a major military matter, and Li Renai did not dare to slack off.

"Li Jing is very ambitious, if he can't destroy the other party this time, I'm afraid that the next step, their target will be us. Your Majesty, you have to think about it this time. Li Renai handed over all the soldiers and horses of the whole country to Brother Wei Mingcha, but it made Brother Wei Mingcha feel a trace of solemnity in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to solve Li Jing, but instead attracted Li Jing's attention to Western Xia, destroying the peace between the two sides and bringing disasters to the people of Western Xia. Brother Wei Ming had to be careful.

"Uncle Wang is right, Li Jing is ambitious, even if he doesn't attack Li Jing this time, Li Jing will definitely attack our Western Xia in the future, in this case, it is better to strike first, and kill Li Jing first. Even if it is a failure this time, at least, the Fifth Route Army can injure Li Jing, and he will not recover in two or three years. Gain time for my Great Xia. Li Renai's immature face showed a hint of ruthlessness.

"Since Your Majesty has decided, the minister will go and prepare." Brother Wei Mingcha suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Xixia This is a backwater battle, and what Li Renai said makes sense, even if he can't defeat Li Jing, but at most he will lose both, Li Jing's foundation is shallow, once he loses heavily, he will definitely recuperate for two or three years, which is definitely a good opportunity for Xixia.

"That's good, so that my national fortune in Daxia will be handed over to Uncle Wang, and if it doesn't succeed this time, I will have to bite off a piece of meat from Li Jing." Li Renai clenched his fists, and there was a trace of belief in victory in his heart, not believing that Li Jing would be able to survive under the attack of the Five-Way Army.
