The Western Xia Emperor Li Bingchang was drinking and feasting with a group of ministers, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.

The Chinese New Year is a time of joy, and it is a natural thing to get together to eat meat and drink wine to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Not to mention, this year is a year full of hope for Western Xia, and it is the most promising year in the history of Western Xia!

The war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao State is an ironclad thing, and once this battle is fought, it will not stop fighting, and it will not stop easily. These two countries fought to the death, and they cheapened the fisherman of Western Xia.

The Song, Liao, and Western Xia were originally three kingdoms competing for dominance in the world, each showing its own ability. Among the three kingdoms, the Western Xia was the weakest, and neither militarily nor economically did not have the strength to compete with the two countries for hegemony. For Western Xia, the best ending was that Song and Liao competed and Western Xia profited.

This has been proven in history. After the creation of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has been fighting to the death with the Liao State, and the Western Xia profited from it, currying favor on both sides, and finally went out and established the Western Xia State.

The territory occupied by the Western Xia was very small, but the three or two "roads" of the Song Dynasty were so big that they did not destroy the Song Dynasty, but instead established the country, which is really a miracle. The reason why this miracle was born was largely because of the Song-Liao War, which cheapened Western Xia.

Since the alliance of the Trembling Abyss, although the Song and Liao countries have had Mocha from time to time, on the whole, they are still relatively restrained, and they are no longer as inextricably fighting as before, so that the Song Dynasty can concentrate a large number of troops to deal with the Western Xia, which makes the Western Xia very unhappy. At the same time, the Liao State also did not have a good face towards the Western Xia to a certain extent, which made the Western Xia very dissatisfied, and hoped that the two countries would fight to the death as before, and the Western Xia could do whatever they wanted.

Last year, the Liao State suffered a big loss and lost face, according to Yelu Hongji's surname, it is impossible for him to stop here, he will definitely send troops to retaliate. Moreover, his revenge will be unprecedented, and once this battle starts, it will inevitably be endless, and you will live or die.

Once the Song and Liao countries fought hard, it was the Western Xia who would benefit. For this reason, Li Bingchang sent people to negotiate with Yelu Hongji and prepare for an alliance. Although his calculation was good, the result made him very depressed, Yelu Hongji was too shrewd, he did not take the initiative to send someone to negotiate with him, but waited for him to send someone to the door and set up a situation for Yelu Hongji.

Originally, according to his plan, in order to stabilize the frontier and have a stable rear, Yelu Hongji would inevitably form an alliance with him and jointly deal with the Song Dynasty. In that case, he would be able to sit on the ground and extort a lot of things from Jeluhom. Where did he think that Yelu Hongji would not send someone at all, he really couldn't wait, so he had to send someone to the door and ask Yelu Hongji for a lot of goods.

If you lose your share in the Liao Kingdom, you can still get it back from the Song Dynasty. So, Li Bingchang sent people to Bianjing to meet Song Shenzong, asking for a price, and preparing to slaughter the Song Dynasty. Where to think of it, Song Shenzong was even more straightforward, and he didn't even see the face of the envoy, and the envoy couldn't wait, so he had to return to Western Xia.

How will the Western Xia choose, Song Shenzong is very clear, if he gives the Western Xia money, he is using his own money to invite the enemy to fight him, that is a crime, how can Song Shenzong let Li Bingchang be happy.

Li Bingchang didn't get the goods he wanted from Song and Liao at all, and he was very depressed. However, this is just a trivial matter, on the whole, the situation still makes him happy, there must be a war between Song and Liao, and this is enough.

As long as the two countries start fighting, Western Xia can send troops to Shaanzhou, go straight to Guanzhong, and capture 800 miles of Qinchuan. As long as Guanzhong is in possession, the strength of Western Xia will be doubled, and it is much stronger than now. The facts also proved his judgment, the Song Dynasty transferred a large number of western troops to the north, Shaanzhou was empty, as long as the north started fighting, he would send troops.

The emptiness of Shaanzhou is an opportunity that Western Xia has been waiting for for decades, and no one will miss it, and Li Bingchang can't be happy. Therefore, he planned to have a feast with all the ministers in the New Year and celebrate in advance. Since Chinese New Year's Eve, the Western Xia monarchs have never left their cups and meat, and they have eaten and drunk for several days and nights, but they are still not happy.

"Zizi!" Li Bingchang put down the wine glass beautifully, smacked his mouth, and felt that this was the most delicious wine he had ever drunk in his life: "This wine is so beautiful!" ”

"Huh!" The ministers burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, drinking is fun, you are in a good mood, and your taste is naturally good!" Li Zongbao stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said: "I wish the emperor a successful army and a supreme cause!" ”

"Haha!" Li Bingchang naturally understood the meaning of his words, raised his head to the sky, and let out a cheerful laugh.

Western Xia is about to send troops to Shaanzhou and go straight to Guanzhong. Once Guanzhong is captured, the strength of Western Xia will skyrocket, and it is possible to win the Central Plains. At that time, the strength of Western Xia and Song Liao has shortened dramatically, and they can do more things, not like now, and they are careful in everything they do.

"Your Majesty, in this year's battle, the victory of Daxia is in hand, and it is inevitable to seize Guanzhong. Qinchuan, 800 miles in Guanzhong, is so fat that it wants people and money. Liang Xi smiled and said, "As long as Guanzhong is in hand, Daxia's strength will increase a lot." ”

"Hmm!" Li Bingchang couldn't help but nod and said, "There are two things in Qinchuan in the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong that Great Xia urgently needs. First, the 800-mile Qinchuan is rich and is one of the best granaries in the world. The second is that the people there are fierce and brave, although the Qin State has been dead for more than a thousand years, but the Qin style still exists. After getting Guanzhong, Daxia will have endless food and countless warriors. ”

Qin Feng is strong, and the people of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, eight hundred miles, are born warriors, dare to fight, and are the best source of soldiers.

"In this battle, Da Xia will definitely win!" Li Zongbao was full of confidence, took over the conversation, and said: "As we expected, Emperor Song has emptied the troops of Shaanzhou. It can be said that Shaanzhou is empty now, and if it weren't for Yelu Hongji to make the first move, I would have led the army to kill it. ”

"The strongest soldiers in Shaanzhou are the Chongjia Army and the Yao Family Army, as long as these two armies are transferred, it is inevitable that Daxia will take Shaanzhou." Liang Xi couldn't help nodding, his voice was very high, and said: "Emperor Song not only transferred away the Chongjia army and the Yao family army this time, but also transferred the soldiers from other places, if you want Shaanzhou not to be empty, you can't do it." ”

"Haha!" Thinking of the bright future, the monarchs and ministers laughed heartily again.

The Shaanzhou soldiers are known as the elite of the world, and they are the most capable army in the Song Dynasty, and it is expected that Song Shenzong was transferred to the north to resist the attack of the Liao State, and it is also the most desired thing in the Western Xia. Not to mention the transfer of so many soldiers, only the most elite breeders and Yao family troops in the Shaanzhou army need to be transferred, and Western Xia will no longer have scruples, and they can completely sweep Shaanzhou.

They wouldn't know, of course, that this is a trap. Seed Master Dao and Yao Youzhong are both smart people, so they naturally understand how to confuse Xixia, yes, at the moment, Xixia doesn't know that they have fallen into Wu Ji's calculations.

"When do you think Yelu Hongji will do it?" Li Bingchang put down the wine glass in his hand, stopped eating, and looked at the ministers.

It is inevitable that the Liao State will send troops, but it is still unclear when to use troops. If you don't know the time, this will be a little troublesome for Western Xia, and you may not be able to cope with it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that after the New Year, Yelu Hongji would use soldiers." Li Zongbao pondered slightly, and without waiting for Li Bingchang to ask, he explained the reason: "The reason why the minister is so decisive is because the Liao soldiers like cold and do not like heat, even if they fight in the ice and snow, it will not affect the combat strength of the Liao army. The second is that Yelu Hongji has long wanted to do something to Zhao Ji, but hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, and there are too many preparations for this, so they have to be delayed until the next year. If it can be completed before the end of the year, the minister dares to say that with the surname of Yelu Hongji, the fight will start a year ago. ”

"The minister thinks so too!" Liang Xi hurriedly agreed.

"Huh!" Li Bingchang smiled and said, "I think so too!" ”

"No matter when the Liao State sends troops, we have long been prepared and can be dispatched at any time!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi are full of confidence.

However, as soon as their words landed, they only heard an eager voice coming: "Emperor, Wu Ji suddenly appeared under Zhuozhou City on Chinese New Year's Eve and took Zhuozhou in one fell swoop!" ”

"Nonsense!"

"Who will use troops on Chinese New Year's Eve? I'm full! ”

"Throughout the ages, no one could use troops on Chinese New Year's Eve!"

The ministers didn't believe it at all, and shouted in unison, all with contempt on their faces.

"Emperor, Wu Ji made a surprise attack on Zhuozhou on Chinese New Year's Eve, annihilating tens of thousands of Liao troops stationed in Zhuozhou in one fell swoop!" In the midst of the shouts and reprimands of the ministers, one after another the same army reported.

These military reports came too intensively, and the front ones had just finished being reported, and before they could take a breath, the later military reports arrived. If it is three or two identical military reports, no one will believe it, and it will be treated as a joke. However, there were nearly ten identical military reports in a row, which was different, and the ministers were petrified on the spot.

"This ......" Li Bingchang opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, no different from the stone carving, and the wine he had just drunk in his mouth flowed out of the corners of his mouth, wetting the imperial robe.

Quiet! Deathly silence!

From Emperor Li Bingchang to the ministers, all of them are like stone carvings, if it weren't for the ups and downs of their chests, they would definitely be regarded as stone carvings!

"Goo!" Li Bingchang wanted to speak, but there was a strange sound in his throat.

"Goo!" Not only Li Bingchang is like this, but who among the ministers is not like this?

For a moment, a strange sound resounded in the room, no different from thunder.

"Li Zongbao, Liang Xi, did you ever think that Wu Ji would do it on Chinese New Year's Eve?" Li Bingchang finally calmed down and asked loudly.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi looked ashamed, and lowered their heads and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent!" ”

"The use of troops on Chinese New Year's Eve, even if you look through the history books, you can't find it, this Wu Ji is really ruthless!" Sun Wu's generation is nothing more than that! Li Bingchang couldn't stop taking a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Are you really ready to send troops?" ”

"It's true!" Can you say no to this? Li Zongbao and Liang Xi gritted their teeth and replied in unison.

"Good! Very good! Li Bingchang couldn't help nodding and approvingly: "Just get ready!" Go back at once and prepare for the dispatch of troops! Make no mistake! ”

It's really tiring to entertain guests, I didn't sleep well at all last night, my head was groggy, I gritted my teeth and wrote this chapter, and I went to make up for sleep.
