Chapter 781: Wang Wushan's Plan Has Great Possibilities (First Update)
Chapter 781
"Also...... Sun Er also received an emergency military situation from Hedong Road, Hebei East Road, and Hebei West Road, and the Liao army on all sides was frequently mobilized, and there was a tendency for large armies to gather, and now, in addition to Han Xianggong's place on Hedong Road, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road all hoped that the court could immediately dispatch the forbidden army to help......"
Hearing Zhao Xu's introduction, Gao Tao's eyes suddenly widened. "The border between Liao and my Great Song Dynasty has been leveled for decades, and Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road have always been heavily guarded, and the court has made great efforts every year to spend a lot of money to consolidate the defense of these roads."
"Every year before, whenever the court sent officials to inspect the border fortress, weren't these civil and military men on the border very ambitious, and reported to the court that they were strong enough to resist the southward advance of the Liao army? Why has it suddenly become a bunch of shrunken turtles? ”
"Tell them that not a single soldier in the court will give them a single soldier, if there is a loss in the border plug, the mourning family will settle these old accounts with them!"
Gao Taotao was so angry that he forgot that he no longer listened to politics, and even blurted out such threatening words.
"The imperial grandmother is relieved, and the grandson knows what to do. Wang Wushan faced hundreds of thousands of Liaoxia coalition troops, his face was fearless, he was willing to fall into danger, and he was willing to live and die with the soldiers and people of Youzhou. However, the civil and military forces on all sides were frightened and trembling just because of the mobilization of troops and horses of the Liao State, and repeatedly asked for reinforcements from the court. Gao's surging anger was also transmitted to Zhao Xu's heart, and he was also very angry, and the national strength of the Liao State was now only comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty.
And the Great Song Dynasty is rich, every year there is a large amount of military expenditure for the border towns and places, so that they can reorganize their armaments, consolidate the border defense, in the end, the slightest change in the Liao State, it scared them and a group of quails in the autumn wind, want to bury their heads in the crotch of the crotch and tremble.
"Yes, if I am the Great Song Dynasty, I can have a few more loyal and upright ministers like Wang Wushan, why is the Great Song Dynasty like this......" Gao Tao couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
Swirling, Gao Tao was excited again. "Although Wang Wushan acted boldly and seemed to act recklessly, he was always able to turn danger into a disaster, and judging from the words in his letter, he seemed to be very sure that he would be able to defend Youzhou."
Zhao Xu nodded. "Wang Wushan's meaning is that he is ready to use Youzhou as a fulcrum, firmly hold off the main force of the Liaoxia coalition army, and buy enough time for my Great Song Dynasty to transfer troops and send generals, and my Great Song Dynasty armies are just slowly advancing from all directions and pressing away."
"The Liaoxia coalition army seems to be powerful, but, in Wang Wushan's view, first, the army of the Liao State is 60,000, and the remaining 170,000 people are all soldiers and horses of many tribes in the north.
According to intelligence, these 170,000 horses belong to more than 30 different northern tribes, and if you count the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, this is really messy......"
"Especially those tribal soldiers and horses, although they are all brave and good at fighting, but it is just a conflict between tribes, long in field battles, and when they encounter an iron bucket-like fortress like Youzhou, as long as they experience several waves of setbacks, they will definitely be afraid, for fear that their soldiers and horses will be deliberately consumed by Northern Liao."
"In addition, as long as Youzhou can hold on for more than ten days, once the Zhubian is pressing, then the Tangut people will inevitably withdraw at least part of their men and horses in order to keep the Yinxia Prefectures......"
Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Gao Taotao couldn't help but take the letter over again and read it carefully. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still sighed angrily. "Does this bastard really think of himself as a fairy? I always feel that everything in the world will be as he expected......"
"Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law thinks that although Mr. Wushan is not an immortal, but in terms of extreme calculation, I am afraid that he is not much better than an immortal." Empress Meng said with a very serious expression.
"Oh? I can't imagine Zitong, you have more confidence in Wang Wushan than me? Zhao Xu looked at the queen with some astonishment, and couldn't help laughing.
"Official, don't you think that every time Mr. Wushan wants to do something, everyone will look at him with a skeptical or skeptical eye in advance."
"After all, Mr. Wushan's actions are often unexpected by people, and sometimes they can even be said to be out of the ordinary."
"But the problem is that in the end, the facts will always prove that Mr. Wushan is the one who made the right judgment, and the others, only when Mr. has done that step, or when the matter has a result, will suddenly realize that this is the case."
Gao Tao and Zhao Xu listened to Queen Meng's gentle tone, but they said something that seemed absurd, but actually told the truth.
couldn't help but look at each other, even if it was an old driver such as the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, he was stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, Gao Taotao slowly exhaled a long breath of turbidity. "The mourning family really hasn't thought about it well, and has always felt that this kid is taking a risk, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to be really interesting, as if he has a complete grasp before he does anything."
"Then the imperial grandmother, how about we continue to trust Wang Wushan this time?" Zhao Xu picked up the letter again and carefully studied the confessions inside, especially Wang Yang's suggestions on how the Great Song Dynasty should deal with it after Youzhou was besieged.
What does he mean by his letter? Hold on for a month, so that there is enough time, so that my Great Song can calmly transfer troops and generals to seek the land of Yinxia? Gao Taotao took the letter handed over by Zhao Xu and reread it, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
"This kid really doesn't take his own safety seriously, here we are worried about his safety, he actually has the leisure to worry about whether my Great Song can take this opportunity to seize the land of Longzhou and Yinzhou?"
"But the premise of everything is that he Wang Wushan can really hold on to Youzhou and contain most of the soldiers and horses of the Liaoxia coalition army.
And if the 80,000 forbidden troops sent by the court no longer directly aid Youzhou, but through the Suide army, they can really hit it unprepared. ”
"Yinzhou is lost, Shizhou is close at hand, and Longzhou is equivalent to being locked at the bottom of my pocket by my Great Song Dynasty, completely separated from the Western Xia Lands to be slaughtered by my Great Song Dynasty.
If the minister is a Xia general, he will definitely lead this reinforcement, otherwise, if the land of these three states is lost, there will be no room for maneuver in the southeast of Western Xia. is just a left-wing brave military division, I'm afraid I can't be brave anymore. ”
Zhang Yan, the privy deputy envoy who was urgently ordered into the palace by the Son of Heaven, stood in front of the map and said with a lot of brilliance in his eyes. Although there were not many audiences in front of him, only the Empress Dowager Gao Tao and the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu, Zhang Yu was keenly aware of a big problem.
That is, the Son of Heaven seems to have a great sense of identity with Wang Yang and Wang Wushan's plan. At the same time, he also felt that Wang Wushan's plan was very probable.
