Chapter 468

"What?!" Zhao Xu, who was still playing checkers with Wang Yang and Duan Wang Zhao Ji before, never thought that he would receive such bad news.

Wang Yang couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, the Western Xia State had the Northern Liao to aid the soldiers with grain and grass, and the Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia sent Liang Yikui to send 100,000 troops again to attack the Suide City of the Great Song Dynasty, Suide City was broken, and the soldiers were killed and wounded more than 10,000 people.

The Empress Dowager Liang, who got the sweetness of the Western Xia Kingdom, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered Liang Yikui, who was plundering, to garrison on the spot, and she personally led 200,000 troops to leave the summer capital and march towards Suide City.

"At the beginning of the year, Liang Yikui led the army to attack Suide City, defeated and returned, and now, with the help of Northern Liao, Suide City was finally broken, destroying the lives of more than 10,000 tigers in my Great Song Dynasty, and plundering tens of thousands of people in my Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia barbarians, it is really annoying and hateful!" Zhao Xu's face turned pale, and he threw the teacup in his hand on the floor fiercely and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the most important thing now is how to deal with the Western Xia's offensive against my Great Song Dynasty." Wang Yang saw Zhao Xu's angry appearance that he was about to smoke, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you still have to take care of your health, the two countries are fighting, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable......" Meng Yaoniang's gentle voice also sounded in time.

Glancing at Meng Yaoniang, whose face was full of concern, Zhao Xu's heart warmed, and his eyes fell on Wang Yang's body. "Alas, this is the current situation of my Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and the Northern Liao are in cahoots, echoing left and right, my Great Song Dynasty, it is really a little difficult to support alone......"

"I think my father has been in business for many years, and he has always been eager to pacify the land of Western Xia and return the grandeur of the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, but he finally ......"

Wang Yang looked at this indignant and complaining young man, and couldn't help but roll his eyes covertly, the current Great Song Dynasty is not without combat effectiveness, but it is indeed because it is necessary to deal with the two strong opponents of Western Xia and Northern Liao at the same time, which can be described as two fists that are difficult to defeat with four hands.

Attacking Western Xia, afraid that Northern Liao will invade, attacking Northern Liao, and worrying that Western Xia will attack, can only be on the defensive all year round, but the problem is that you only defend, isn't that equivalent to giving the other party a chance to attack calmly?

“…… I am afraid that when the time comes to discuss this matter, the officials of the DPRK and the central government will definitely speak out one after another, hoping that our Great Song Dynasty can uphold the attitude of calming things and calming people, and give more money and silk to Xixia in exchange for peace. After complaining for a long time, Zhao Xu finally sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks this seems inappropriate, right?" Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Rao is Wang Yang pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he couldn't hold back at the moment. "Our Great Song Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, he is a small country in Western Xia, why did my Great Song let them rub it flat and round?"

"The Great Song Dynasty also has a million tiger army, and the Western Xia country has a population of only more than three million, I'm afraid that even my Great Song Dynasty is not as good as all the way, why should they be so arrogant?"

Three million people, even if all the people are soldiers, young and strong, I am afraid that it will be four or five hundred thousand at most, can it be said that the entire Western Xia Kingdom does not need to produce and graze, and completely depends on war to feed?

Zhao Xu saw Wang Yang standing in front of him with an indignant face, and he couldn't help but feel like a confidant, yes, he thought so too.

"What if you and I know? In addition, in order to make it difficult for me to make the Northern Expedition difficult for the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Liao subsidized the grain and grass of the Western Xia soldiers all the year round, hoping that the Western Xia would become the henchman of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Since my father was in power, I have been refining my armor, intending to level the small country of Western Xia, but God will not help me in the Great Song Dynasty, alas, ......"

Zhao Xu, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly said to Wang Yang. "Wang Qing, do you think my Great Song Dynasty can pacify Western Xia?"

"This is natural, in fact, it is not difficult to deal with a mere Western Xia, the real problem is the alliance between Western Xia and Northern Liao." After Wang Yang nodded, he thought about it carefully before he said in a deep voice.

"However, the reason why Northern Liao is willing to help Western Xia is because Western Xia can contain part of my Great Song Dynasty's energy, but at most, it is not possible to help Western Xia without harming its own interests."

Over the years, after the Liang clan took power, the Western Xia has been reckless, and the country has declined...... And their frequent attacks on our Great Song Dynasty, firstly, because of the operation of our Great Song Dynasty in the border land of the Xia and Song Dynasties, which made the Western Xia feel the danger of losing the country, and secondly, the urging of the Northern Liao made them have to launch frequent attacks in order to survive......"

After listening to Wang Yang, Zhao Xu's eyes couldn't help but light up. "Qing's opinion on Western Xia, I really haven't heard of it. Do you mean that today's Western Xia is like the end of a strong crossbow? ”

Wang Yang nodded and replied. "Even if it is not the end of the strong crossbow, it is not far away, whether it is the Western Xia Liang Hou, or the current Xiaoliang Hou, they are all Han people, in charge of the government of the Western Xia party, and the contradictions in the country are very deep. In order to introduce the contradictions, this is also one of the reasons why they have to launch frequent attacks on our Great Song Dynasty......"

"It's just that although the Western Xia has few soldiers and generals, they are different from my Great Song Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty territory is too extensive and the defense area is too broad. And although Xixia is small, he is able to squeeze all his strength into a fist. ”

"If my Great Song Dynasty's defense in the Song-Xia border is an iron nail, then the Western Xia army is like an iron nail, although the overall quality of the iron pot is stronger than the iron nail, but there will still be times when it will be pierced by the iron nail. For example, the battle of Suide City is a typical example. ”

"There is a folk proverb that is very appropriate, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and people's hearts will eventually have a time to slack off......"

"Yes, one iron pot can make hundreds of iron nails, but the problem is that it is easy to be punctured by iron nails...... Thousands of days against thieves, no matter who it is, I'm afraid they don't have that ability. Zhao Xu nodded his head frequently.

After a long time, looking at Wang Yang's equally young face, Zhao Xu couldn't help but say with some emotion. "It's a pity that Qing is only seven grades now, otherwise, I really want you to lead a tiger Ben, and replace me with the summer night in the west, and restore my old land in the Great Song Dynasty."

"Of course, the minister can't ask for it, as long as His Majesty gives an order, the minister is willing to be a pawn for His Majesty." Wang Yang couldn't help but reply with some excitement. To be honest, he really looked down on the small country of Western Xia that was like a dog skin plaster.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Song Dynasty needed to face a fierce opponent like Northern Liao, how could it allow a bunch of clowns to jump off the beam and keep worrying there.

"You are not a pawn, you are my minister, one day, you will work with me to let the Great Song Dynasty restore the glory of my Han and Tang dynasties."

"Your Majesty's wish is also the will of your minister." Wang Yang looked at the somewhat excited Song Tianzi and took a deep swipe to the ground.

"Although the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Zhao Ji also bowed down excitedly and said loudly.

Seeing this scene, Meng Yaoniang bowed down. "The concubine wishes that His Majesty's wish will come true......"

Zhao Xu looked at the three people in front of him, his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, as if the haze had been swept away.
