"Uncle, do it! At this time, we don't actually have much choice, and the Southern Barbarians are forcing us to completely defeat the Liao State with them. If we don't get into trouble in advance, if we let other tribes take the lead, we will have a discredited reputation. Wan Yan clenched his fists and replied seriously.

Wanyan Yingge has always been obedient to Ah Gu's words, and after listening, she agreed: "Then do it!" It's a big job, anyway, the old word has long hated the Khitans! ”

Wanyan Aguda suggested again: "Uncle, it is indeed better to raise the flag against Liao sooner rather than later, but relying on our Jurchen tribe alone, I am afraid that even if we really defeat the army of Liao, we will suffer heavy casualties, so it is better for my nephew to contact other tribes in person and participate in this grand event together." ”

"Okay, you can do it right away! However, Ah Gu beats, the Xi people don't have to go. After all, he is the mother of Yelu Yanxi. Wan Yan Yingge nodded sweetly and approved Ah Guta's suggestion, but he finally reminded.

Wanyan Aguda immediately got up and agreed: "Got it!" He hurriedly took a few personal soldiers and rode horses to visit other ethnic tribes in Liaodong. And Wanyan Yingge immediately sent people to gather the patriarchs of the Jurchen tribes to discuss the important matter of raising the flag against Liao.

At the same time, in the Heishui Weifu Military Division of the Western Xia Kingdom, Li Qianshun and Li Chage, the king of Jin, were also discussing this matter.

Although Brother Richard correctly guessed the process of Cai Dao's plan to attack Liao and the troops used, he did not guess the direction of Cai Dao's main attack.

Seizing the Yuguan Pass, as well as the Yanshan level, is like jamming the kneecaps on the two legs of the Liao State, which is already terminally ill.

If a person is cut off below the knee, he will still survive, but the person will not be able to walk.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are like the two thick legs of the Great Liao State, which have always provided a stable foundation for the long-term peace and stability of the Liao State. In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that this land is the natural granary of the entire Liao State and the place where wealth is generated. With the loss of Nanjing's Xijin Mansion, the comprehensive national strength of the Great Liao State will drop by about 30%.

"Your Majesty, now that the news has been confirmed, then Wei Chen thinks that it is necessary to quickly gather troops and grain and grass from the country and gather here." Richard suggested.

Li Qianshun replied with some wistfulness: "Oh! Brother Cha, do you think the time has come to attack? ”

It seems that the Song army will win this battle, and it will be a matter of time before the sixteen states of Youyun are recaptured. However, it is precisely in this way that Li Qianshun will be unhappy, if he really has to refuse that day, Cai Dao will definitely sweep away the Western Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop with the power of a great victory. But even though he had made the best decision, he still had to abandon the territory that his ancestors had painstakingly taken away.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be sentimental! People should still look far away, and sometimes, Weichen also wants to go to Bianliang City to see the world map drawn by Taishi Cai with his own eyes. Perhaps, as he said, the world is bigger than anyone can imagine. You are familiar with Hanshu, and you must have learned from the historical records that there are more distant places in the Western Regions, and there are even more vast territories, which are waiting for your majesty to conquer. Seeing this, Brother Richard was relieved.

"Aren't you afraid that Luo Guozi will go back on his word, we just captured the Western Regions earlier, and he wants to go back to the Hexi Corridor again, what should I do?" Li Qianshun is not at ease with Cai Dao's character, and when it comes to national territory, no matter how good his reputation is, he will abandon it.

Richard shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. To make you angry, Taishi Cai is an unborn talent, and he has done things that no one has done before, even Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang can't compare to the exploits he has made. However, the lord and the young minister doubted, if he really recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun this time, if you were the little emperor, how would you deal with yourself? If at this time, he chooses to do what Wang Mang, Cao Cao and Sima Yi have done. Who in the whole world can stop him? ”

"Alas! Yes, it's not just talking. Changing places, I may only have to give it a go, and it's a big deal to be a noble countryman. Li Qianshun said with a sigh.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Your Majesty, just as Wei Chen just said, the world is bigger than everyone imagined. So, how could such a smart person learn from Wang Mang and his ilk to bully orphans and widows? History has shown that even if such a dynasty is established, its descendants will be humiliated. This is the case in the two Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is not like this today?

Therefore, after recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, even if Taishi Cai does not retreat bravely, he will find a good way out for himself. Neither he nor his henchmen are in charge of the military, or even involved in military affairs. Your Majesty, would you still be afraid of the rest of the Song Dynasty? "Ever since Brother Richard got Cai Dao sending troops to attack Yuguan, he has admired this god man who is younger than him very much.

Although Li Qianshun knew it, he didn't break it, because he himself was afraid of that Luo pot from the bottom of his heart, he sighed and said, "I hope so!" Just do as you say! By the way, Brother Cha, when are you going to attack Yunzhou? ”

Brother Richard replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this matter is not yet accurate, the key is to see the movements of the Yunzhou Liao army itself, however, Weichen knows that this attack will not exceed June at the latest." ”

A few days later, Li Qian returned to Xingqing Mansion by the way, and this time, he completely handed over the 200,000 troops of the Western Xia Kingdom to Li Chage's command.

Li Qianshun understood that Brother Richard said something that seemed to praise Cai Dao, why didn't he say it to him?

This can be regarded as Cai Dao's understanding of how to get along with the emperor and the generals, giving those capable generals another choice.

At this time, Yelu Yanxi finally led the army to Gubeikou, and when he personally saw that the banner of the Great Song Kingdom was erected on his territory, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Some immediately sent the Han army in Nanjing's Xijin Mansion to attack the city immediately, but he was persuaded by Yelu Zhongke, the commander of the palace army. The march is hurried, and there are not many siege equipment with them, not to mention, compared to Yuguan, Gubeikou was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the successive dynasties have repaired it, so the defense system here, the solidity of the city is much stronger than that of Yuguan.

If you attack here immediately, if you can't attack it, the blunt troops will be frustrated, and the morale of the whole army will be greatly damaged. Therefore, it is better to leave these Han troops for the time being, and wait until they are under Yuguan to use them.
