"Brother, the imperial court has sent three messengers!"

Wang Ningze exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I ...... Am I not worried about you! Fourth Young Master Wang flattened his mouth.

Wang Ningan chuckled, "It's good if you don't make trouble for me, hurry up and go to Weizhou to keep an eye on the front line, don't let the Xixia people take advantage." ”

When it came to fighting, it was rare for Wang Ningze to become serious.

"Brother, recently, the Western Xia people and horses have gone south, the two sides have clashed with each other, our losses are not small, and the tribes continue to rise up, cooperating with the Western Xia rebellion, our situation is not going well."

"So what?"

"So......" Wang Ningze scratched his head, "so someone proposed to send troops, take the nest of the Tangut people, and take down Lingzhou and Jingzhou, and the Tangut people will be honest." ”

Wang Ningan's face sank, and even his brother proposed to fight, which shows what the voice is underneath, but this battle is really not as simple as he thought.

"Shiro, now you are me, there is a sand table on the table, you see how to send troops to attack Lingzhou, you can come up with a way, brother will listen to you."

Wang Ningze hesitated, and immediately hurriedly ran to the front of the sand table, carefully staring at the situation on both sides, calculating the men, horses, weapons, grain and grass, Wang Ningze was ready to concentrate 100,000 troops to conquer Lingzhou in one fell swoop, Western Xia was on this line, there were 150,000 people, including 100,000 captured troops.

If there are less than 100,000 people and horses, the absolute chance of winning is not great, although the fourth young master Wang is arrogant, but he has not yet reached the point of madness, running to the door of other people's houses, and still counting on one as ten, one as a hundred, that is brain-dead!

It's good to be able to win more with less.

100,000 horses and horses must be mobilized, how much grain, grass, ordnance, how many men and how many livestock, and how many livestock...... Wang Ningze calculated silently, but after calculating, he suddenly noticed a huge area on the sand table, and suddenly his body shook, and cold sweat flowed down from his sideburns. He looked left and right, and for a long time, he sighed and gave up all thoughts.

Wang Ningze hung his head and drooped his head, "Brother, you are right, junior brother, I will go to Weizhou to defend strictly, I will restrain my subordinates and tell them, don't think about attacking, who dares to start a war lightly, I will cut off his head!" ”

Wang Ningan snorted, "There's no need to cut off your head, send it to the front line of Hengshan, let them repair the city, and move the cement." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Ningze obediently said goodbye, and the next day, the three messengers arrived.

Without further ado, Wang Ning'an received three messengers on behalf of all the soldiers in front, Di Qing did not come, but Jia Changchao came.

This old guy came in the middle of the night yesterday, and when he came, Wang Ningze had just left.

Jia Changchao advocated and instigated the use of troops before, but it was later found that Wang Ningan actually opposed the dispatch of troops, and also clashed with Zhao Zhen, which made Lao Jia very embarrassed.

He is now in the opposition, and he can't play Tai Chi left and right as Wen Yanbo, he must catch Wang Ning'an, don't let him misunderstand.

"Erlang, it's really the old man's negligence, I thought that Hengshan had been defeated, and the destruction of the Western Xia was imminent, and the great merit was within reach...... I, I forgot to ask you. Jia Changchao patted his chest and said: "Erlang, you have to believe the old man, I am different from those people, this time the court sent a messenger, it is inconvenient for you to deal with them, let the old man go, that Chen Shengzhi is my junior, if he wants to make waves, the old man will not let him go." ”

In this way, Jia Changchao took the initiative to stay, and Wang Ning'an received three Qincha together, a simple reception banquet, Wang Ning'an only prepared four dishes for them, a pot of Hengshan herdsmen's mare's milk wine.

No matter what these three think in their hearts, facing Wang Ningan and Jia Changchao, they are very honest!

Chen Shengzhi bowed down and said: "Wang Xianggong, Jia Xianggong, we were ordered to come over, one is to investigate the military situation and the people's situation, and the other is to visit the two Xianggong, listen to your opinions, and then play truthfully, there is no other meaning, and please forgive the two Xianggong." ”

Wang Ningan nodded, "Official, I still understand this rule." Come with me, three of you. ”

Wang Ning'an took them to the sand table room of the study, the day before, Wang Ningze was defeated in the face of this sand table, today there are many small things added here, such as wooden ponies, chariots, villains, as well as sacks, flags, tents, cities and other things, the strength and terrain of both sides, at a glance.

Chen Shengzhi led soldiers in the local area, although he was a civilian official, but he also knew a little, he silently counted the flags on the side of Xixia, a total of 30 small flags.

"Wang Xianggong, does this mean that there are still 300,000 horses in Western Xia?"

"That's right!" Wang Ning'an said: "This victory in Hengshan is actually the result of the Western Xia's initiative to retreat, their 100,000 capturing troops have all been pushed to Lingzhou and Xingzhou and other places, plus the local party departments, and now Li Liangzuo has 300,000 horses in his hands, which is almost the same as the strength of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Gao Zunyu immediately said: "Wang Xianggong, my Great Song soldiers are full of fine food, the Western Xia is newly defeated, the morale is depressed, and the centrifugal is detached, why can't you fight?" ”

Wang Ning'an remained silent and pointed to the area south of Lingzhou, "This is it, this is the reason why the Great Song Dynasty can't send troops!" ”

Gao Zunyu did not lead troops in the northwest, it is not clear.

At this time, Jia Changchao coughed, "Although the old man is a literati, he also knows that this piece is 700 miles of Hanhai!" Lord Chen, General Gao, and Tan Feng, you don't know how powerful Hanhai is, right? ”

Chen Shengzhi and Tan Xian's faces were very ugly, and they looked panicked.

Jia Changchao continued: "These 700 miles of Hanhai swamp, the road is difficult to travel, it is the turn of spring and summer, and the rain is increasing, even if the army can pass through the Hanhai, what about the backup?" Grain and grass provisions, carriage people, how to cross the Hanhai? Not to mention the swampy area, even if it is a flat road, how much does it cost to transport grain 700 miles away? There are always two or three percent, right? What about the Hanhai? I'm afraid that if I have to transfer it, at most 30% of the ten percent will be delivered, and it will not be delivered on time! If the Western Xia people and horses are waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, and they don't know how many people will die and how much they will lose? ”

Looking at the three people whose faces gradually turned green, Jia Changchao was a little proud, these truths were told to him by Wang Ningan yesterday, and now the old guy is now speculating and selling.

"If you have to send troops, you can guarantee the logistics of 50,000 horses at most, 50,000 against 300,000, even if you can win, can you completely annihilate the main force of Western Xia? As long as their main forces are still there, the war in the northwest will not stop for a moment, do we have the capital to stretch the front so long? ”

Jia Changchao is like teaching his own children, "To fight a war, you have to be attentive, you have to go on a field trip, not by patting your brain, those wastes in the capital just know how to sit and talk about the Tao, and if they have nothing to do, they will write a book to encourage the saints, they are calamity to the country and the people, and they are blinded to the saints!" If the three of you still have any doubts, you might as well go to Hanhai and see if you can send troops! ”

Chen Shengzhi, Gao Zunyu, and Tan Xian glanced at each other.

All read with intense contempt.

Ya's Jia Changchao!

You old man is one of the main fighters, and when you turn your head, you teach others a lesson, and turning your face is faster than turning a book, which is really shameless!

Of course, they only dared to think about it in their hearts, after all, Jia Changchao's status in the rivers and lakes was too high. At most, his old man said that there was no field trip, and his head was hot for a while, even Zhao Zhen would not treat him well.

And Jia Changchao's reasoning is really convincing.

I think that when Da Song decided to run Qingtang, he may not have avoided the trouble of Hanhai.

Gao Zunyu still didn't give up, "Xianggong Wang, can't we avoid Hanhai?" ”

"It can be avoided, but the problem is that after it is avoided, the supply line will be multiplied and become two thousand miles, whether it is the eastern front or the western front, the possibility of being attacked is very high!"

Wang Ning'an pointed in the direction of the Hexi Corridor, "This is also the reason why I advocate recovering Liangzhou and other places first, as long as the Hexi Corridor is taken, there will be no interference on the flanks, and the army can march along the Yellow River and go straight to Xingqing Mansion, so as to bypass the Hanhai Danger!" ”

"Well, Wang Xianggong is really far-sighted."

Chen Shengzhi nodded frequently, obviously, he was persuaded by Wang Ningan.

"Wang Xianggong, the lower officials have the courage to ask for advice, now that Western Xia is unwilling to fail, and repeatedly sends troops to attack and harass, it is too annoying, you can have a strategy to retreat from the enemy."

"Nope!" Wang Ningan replied very simply.

The three of them were all stunned, "Xianggong Wang, don't you just let Xixia keep adding to the chaos?" ”

Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "Three, since you know about the Hanhai Heavenly Danger, why are you still worried about the Western Xia attack?" ”

"Ahh

The three of them opened their mouths wide and were stunned.

Their brains turned slightly, and they suddenly understood what Wang Ning'an meant, and they were ashamed and eager to get into the cracks.

The Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack and had to cross 700 miles of Hanhai.

In the same way, when Western Xia called, he also had to go to Hanhai.

Although the Western Xia soldiers were more adapted to the climatic conditions of Hanhai than the Great Song soldiers. But walking in Hanhai is no easy either. They came from afar, the division veterans were tired, and the Great Song Dynasty used elite soldiers to attack them. Although the loss will not be less, but in the long run, the first one who can't hold on must be Xixia!

"Three, this official has ordered to renovate all the fortresses on the front line of Hengshan, strengthen the defense, and move the people of Hengshan inward and resettle them in Qinzhou and Qingtang. The line of Hengshan will become an iron wall, and the people and horses of Western Xia will definitely not be able to cross Hengshan. At the same time, north of Hengshan, in the territory of Western Xia, we held Weizhou, Hongzhou, Longzhou and other places, and captured Youzhou, selected elite defenses, and the men and horses of Western Xia could no longer poison the northwest. ”

Wang Ningan said: "Stabilize Hengshan, and at the same time send partial divisions to capture Liangzhou and Ganzhou, open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, and then mobilize men and horses to attack the front line of Helan Mountain." At that time, our garrison in Hengshan was also stabilized, the people's hearts were attached, and the food, grass and ordnance were sufficient. ”

"Before the three of you came, I had already submitted the detailed plan to Your Majesty's Imperial Palace, and you can also look around to see what is going on...... And then play Your Majesty according to the facts! All in all, I am against attacking Lingzhou immediately! ”

Wang Ningan finished his strategic idea in one gulp, and directly clenched his fists and arched his hands, "I still have military affairs to deal with, the three of you are at your own convenience." ”

The three menacing Lord Qincha looked at each other at this moment, and Chen Shengzhi coughed twice, "I think Wang Xianggong's strategy is very safe, let's just go to the book!" ”
