Chapter 120: Prime Minister, or Dog?
As for which stronghold it is, it is not clear.
Among the Western Xia military camps.
"How's this going? Is there any news that there is not? β
The interrogator was a young man in his thirties.
Next to him angrily, it was Zhang Yuan, the current minister of Western Xia.
Zhang Yuan was furious: "Who knows? This time, the leader was actually Zhao Yuanyan's youngest son, who became the envoy of the festival at such a young age, and I was really angry! β
Liu Hao: "......"
Zhang Yuan's thoughts he empathized with, but he didn't want Zhang Yuan to hate Zhao Yunrang so much.
"I miss you and me, and in the end, I was admitted to the Jinshi, but I was still dethroned, this kid was young at a young age, and he went all the way, and now he is the son of Anyang County, and it is said that he has also been named the county marquis, hum!"
"It seems to be, this is the background, the son is precious to the father, how can we have such a thing, but we are not the minister of the Western Xia Kingdom now?"
Zhang Yuan sneered, "The prime minister is naturally the prime minister, but my identity is my own understanding, we are just a dog in Western Xia, a dog used to bite the Great Song Dynasty!" β
Liu Hao said silently, if there was really no war, then he and Zhang Yuan would have no value.
Therefore, only by biting more vigorously can he and Zhang Yuan gain enough attention and appreciation from Western Xia, and the position of the prime minister can be more stable.
"There is no turning back when you open the bow, and it is easy to get on a thief ship and difficult to get off a thief ship, which is not bad at all."
"Okay, let's give this little prince a little color, and give the order-if they come to the rescue of Yanzhou, then we will still follow the original arrangement-"
At this moment, the guards at the door rushed in: "My lord, there is a secret report!" β
Zhang Yuan's face remained unchanged, but when the secret report was opened, he couldn't help laughing: "God really helps me!" Now, Zhao Yun will make you can't escape! β
Liu Hao was a little surprised, because although Zhang Yuan said that he had the intention to do a big job, but with such a performance, it seemed that there was really something big?
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yuan threw a piece of paper on the table: "Come and see, this is the news from the scouts on the front line!" What timely good news! β
Liu Hao picked it up and looked at it, and it was clearly written that Zhao Yun asked Fan Zhongyan to attack Yanzhou and rescue Fan Yong.
In fact, it was a sneak attack on the military strongholds around Yanzhou, and according to the judgment, it was very likely to be the Chiwu City where Li Shibin's father and son were stationed at the beginning.
"God help me!"
Liu Hao suddenly became very excited.
Zhao Yunrang came from afar with tens of thousands of troops, which can be regarded as a labor attack.
However, the strength of the forbidden army in the Song Dynasty, these two still know something, which is really not to be underestimated.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao used the Yanzhou encirclement to send reinforcements, intending to eliminate the living force of the Song Dynasty army.
At this time, it was impossible for the main force to start a war, because Yanzhou had not yet been defeated, and the Western Xia army was relatively scattered.
After all, after destroying the army of the Great Song Frontier, these states and counties are far away from Bianliang and close to Western Xia, which is what they have.
Save people and lose land, lose land and save people, the two of them are still very clear about this truth.
That's why a pit was set up to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
Since Zhao Yunrang can come to seize the stronghold, this can be regarded as entering the pit.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and you only need to mobilize your military strength.
"What if it's a sound that strikes the West - what if it's really to rescue Yanzhou?"
Liu Hao was still a little worried.
Zhang Yuan smiled disdainfully: "Yanzhou, there is only Fan Yong, the old bastard, even if he is rescued, what can he do?" If you really want to capture Yanzhou, then just surround Yanzhou and do a good job here! β
Liu Hao nodded heavily, and that could only be the case.
This battle was a glorious battle between Zhang Yuan and himself.
The progress in the early stage was very smooth, and Li Yuanhao was also very satisfied with himself.
This title of prime minister was originally empty, but now it has really fallen on the heads of the two of them.
Just waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to suffer a big loss this time, this Western Xia State Minister can be regarded as a real one.
Although he is not famous in his own country, after all, he is also under one person and above ten thousand, and he still has a sense of achievement.
Especially Zhao Yunrang, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, is what Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao hate the most.
It can be seen that hating the rich and hating officials is a kind of human nature.
Even if Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao become ministers of state, they are not exempt from vulgarity.
The two of them couldn't wait to destroy the entire Great Song Dynasty and return to Bianliang City by themselves.
Let Zhao Zhen see himself as the prime minister of the country, standing at the head of the palace and shouting, and let the ministers see how they stood up.
These two people are already somewhat distorted and perverted in their hearts.
Zhang Yuan ordered people to invite the commander of the Iron Harrier.
This person also has the surname Li.
Li Yuanhao didn't plan to completely break his face with others at this time, so he didn't restore his surname.
The main thing is that he has been given a surname many times, and he really wants to recover, for a while, I don't know which one to restore!
The main thing is that I don't want to offend a lot of people at once for the surname.
So this person is also surnamed Li.
can become the commander of the Iron Harrier Army, that is almost Li Yuanhao's real henchman.
To be able to master the elite of the Iron Harrier, this status is probably much higher than that of Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao.
However, this person has great respect for Zhang Yuan and the others, because Li Yuanhao once said that what Xixia lacks is people like Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao.
Resourceful, very knowledgeable about the Great Song Dynasty, and hated it to the bone - the more such people, the better.
The reason why they can be given such a high status is also the meaning of buying horse bones with a thousand dollars.
With such a model, there will be more spineless literati in the Great Song Dynasty, or who have suffered various grievances and think that they can't stand it, to defect to Western Xia.
Therefore, this general surnamed Li, as soon as he saw two people, he had to bow down and salute.
These two are not fools, and naturally know that this is Li Yuanhao's real henchman.
Although he is nominally much older than him, he actually knows that he must not be treated slowly.
Whoever has a few pounds and a few taels, he knows it in his heart.
So he hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged each other: "The general doesn't have to be polite, comeβlet's take a look at such a piece of news." β
In fact, people have already seen this news, and in fact, almost every news that can be delivered to Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao has to pass through his hands.
Still, he pretended to be what he had just seen.
Zhang Yuan and Liu Hao also know this, there is no way, after all, the iron harrier is the main force to carry out this war.
"I have heard of Zhao Yunrang this person, I heard that he has become famous in recent years, he became famous at a young age, he is the youngest son of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Zhou, this time, he led the troops to help?"
"That's right, this is a gentleman, and he actually let him come at this time, obviously to get a little credit."
"No, come out at this time to get credit - isn't it here to die?"
You must know that the tragedy of this war is rare in the wars between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia in recent years.
"Who knows what Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yuanyan think-it is estimated that when there is a war, he should not come forward-"
"But according to what the scout said, he actually wants to repair the plank road in the dark and secretly Chen Cang, and use the pretext of rescuing Yanzhou to uproot the military stronghold we occupy - such an idea, I don't know who came up with it, but he has some insight!"
"However, now that we already know, this Ming Xiu Plank Road is obviously not successful, and neither is the dark Chen Cang."
"Is it possible that it is a strategy to attack the east and the west-"
"It's unlikely, Lord Liu and I have already analyzed, although this Yanzhou is an important node, but under our strategy of encircling and sending reinforcements, it is actually meaningless!"
"In other words, Yanzhou may be of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, but for my Western Xia, it doesn't matter, I just hope that the Great Song Dynasty can continue to fill the soldiers into the grinding plate of Yanzhou!"
"Since he came to get rid of the strongholds around Yanzhou, he said that Song Ying has a real master, maybe it is Fan Zhongyan - if he uproot these strongholds, the siege of Yanzhou will naturally be lifted!"
"So what do we do? These are strongholds that we have managed to occupy! β
"These strongholds are not important, the focus is on people, if we can fight and capture Zhao Yunrang and Fan Zhongyan, or kill them - then this rescue of the Great Song Dynasty will collapse without a fight - that is to say, from now on, Yanzhou will be in the pocket of my Western Xia!"
"Okay, in that case, everything will be arranged by the Prime Minister!"
