Chapter 863 Sticking to Youzhou, Easy to Block the Car with a Praying Arm (Second Update)
Chapter 863
All in all, these victories are inextricably linked to Wang Yang, and don't forget that the earliest, Wang Yang stood up and deduced that the Liao State's recruitment of soldiers and horses from the northern tribes was likely to be a prelude to a war with the Great Song Dynasty.
“…… It was also because he made countless preparations in advance that I was able to make my Great Song Dynasty have today's victory. Therefore, I said that it has a great relationship with Wang Aiqing, do you think so? ”
"Your Majesty's words are very good, if it weren't for Wang Wushan presiding over the overall situation in the land of Sanzhou, I'm afraid that now in the land of Sanzhou, I am afraid that it will not last for so long, and it is even possible that the war will spread to the hinterland of my Shaanxi Road." Liu Zhi cleared his throat and made a very pertinent evaluation.
Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction, it seems that Liu Zhi, the old driver, is also quite interesting.
Liu Zhi saw Zhao Xu's expression and continued. "But Your Majesty, although my Great Song Dynasty has won successive victories, whether it is to capture Yinzhou or go deep into the hinterland of Western Xia to cause chaos, it is suspected of being tricky. However, the threat of the Liaoxia coalition army is still there, and although Youzhou has been managed by Lord Wang and has held out for so long, the army is weak after all......"
"So the old minister thinks that now is the time to accept it when he sees it......"
"Take it when you see it?" Zhao Xu's face showed slight displeasure. "I don't know what Liu Xiang means by this, do you think that although my Great Song Dynasty has an advantage, it can't last long?"
"Your Majesty is wise, after all, Youzhou City is not big, and the troops it accommodates are not very many, so far there has been a nearly moon, and Lord Wang has been begging for half of the general for my Great Song Dynasty, presumably the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou City are trapped in the near moon, and I am afraid that they have already suffered unspeakably." Liu Zhi nodded and replied.
Here, Zhu Guangting, who had already understood Liu Zhi's intentions, also jumped out, put on a posture of worrying about the country and the people, and chattered endlessly. "Now since it is the time when my Great Song Dynasty has the advantage, as long as my Great Song has the will to show goodwill, it is equivalent to giving Western Xia and Liao a step down."
Next, one after another, civil and military forces stood up and analyzed in detail the comparison of forces between the Great Song Dynasty and Liaoxia.
Today, in the land of Sanzhou, the total number of Song troops is only 2,780,000, while the total number of Liaoxia coalition troops has reached 500,000.
In addition, there have been frequent frictions on the border with Liao, such as Hedong Road, which is likely to become a prelude to Liao's southward move.
After all, there is an army of nearly 500,000 people, but there is nothing to do with these three states, and the Liao State, which has always been arrogant, will definitely not stop there, and will inevitably find a way to find face from other places.
Zhao Xu was very unimpressed at first, but when these guys enthusiastically spoke, Zhao Xu couldn't help but hesitate a little, it seemed that some of these people's words were nonsense, but there were a lot of words, but they were very reasonable.
The important thing is that Zhao Xu doesn't want Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, the world's most famous friends, to be lost in the land of these three states.
This also aggravated Zhao Xu's hesitation, but in the end, he stabilized his emotions and shook his head slowly.
"There is some truth in what you have said, but I still need to think about it before making a decision. Okay, now, let's discuss the matter of meritorious service awards......"
"......" Liu Zhi almost wanted to burst out with a foul word. Seeing that he was about to fool the Son of Heaven into making peace with Liaoxia, why did the Son of Heaven suddenly sober up again at the last moment.
After the dissolution of the court, a group of old party bigwigs gathered in the mansion of Prime Minister Liu Zhi.
They have all changed into regular clothes, enjoying the refreshments offered by the beautiful ladies in Liu Zhi's mansion, discussing national affairs, and from time to time peeking at the young lady who is playing a musical instrument not far away to help the fun.
After Liu Zhi took a few sips of tea, before he could speak, Zhu Guangting next to him turned upside down and spoke. "It's a shame to see a good opportunity slip away today."
Liu Zhi nodded approvingly. "If Your Majesty is gracious and negotiates peace at this time, then we will have the merit of making suggestions, and we will lead the entire negotiation, but unfortunately the chess is ...... behind."
Liu Zhi is very scheming, at the beginning, everyone agreed that Wang Wushan's stubborn defense of Nayouzhou was just a move to block the car with his mantis arm and kill himself.
So at that time, the Son of Heaven anxiously sent soldiers and horses to Shaanxi Road to help in the war, and they did not stand up to stop it, because they also knew very well that this young Son of Heaven was determined to forge ahead, and there was no need to confront the young son of Heaven at that time.
What's more, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are pressing the border, and these old party bigwigs have been thinking about it, looking at a few days before Wang Wushan will be embarrassed, and Su Dongpo will be defeated on Shaanxi Road, and then they will stand up to the Son of Heaven at that time and say that there is a solution, that is, to negotiate peace.
As a result, Wang Wushan's stinky boy was stunned and had been executed in Youzhou City, and he had stubbornly blocked the more than 300,000 people of the Liaoxia coalition army from advancing an inch.
Then, and then, Zhi Keshi went to the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia to make trouble, and Su Dongpo could also wait leisurely for the reinforcements sent by the Beijing Division to arrive, and with nearly ten times the advantage of troops, he took the empty Yinzhou.
However, even so, in terms of size, it was still the Liaoxia Liao army that had the advantage, and the Great Song Dynasty had formed a certain advantage locally at most.
However, the source of these advantages all comes from the fact that Wang Wushan, a die-hard element, took Youzhou as a bet, and also took tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Great Song Dynasty as a bet.
Once the city of Youzhou is broken, then, the Liaoxia coalition army will inevitably have no scruples, like a flood of embankments down, at that time, who can stop it?
For the happy and peaceful life of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty, for the tranquility of Shaanxi Road in the Great Song Dynasty, and for the sake of the three kingdoms to be able to temporarily rest the war and let the people recuperate. Peace talks are necessary, of course, Liu Zhi did not forget to remind Tianzi Xu when he was in the court.
That is, it is better to talk now than to wait for Youzhou City to break and then talk, and now the peace talks are because my Great Song Dynasty is occupying a certain advantage, which is the capital for negotiation.
But if the city of Youzhou is broken, and the military disaster is raging on the Shaanxi Road of the Great Song Dynasty, hehe, you, the son of heaven, are afraid that you will not be able to get rid of it, not to mention, your most favored courtier, Wang Wushan, who is known as the world's first talent, is squatting in Youzhou City.
If Youzhou City is broken, the life of that goods will definitely not be saved, and even if it is saved, we will definitely investigate some of the culprits who caused the raging military disasters in the border areas of Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty.
These, I'm afraid that Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, was the most worried and almost agreed, but why he put the topic aside at a critical moment, which really made a group of old party bigwigs think about it and can't figure it out.
"It's okay, we don't have to be too anxious, I really don't believe it, the Liaoxia coalition army, nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses, and my Great Song Dynasty, even the Shaanxi roadside army and reinforcements, the total number is only half of the other party, can they still win all the time?"
