Chapter 68 The Western Xia's Scheme

readx;

This smash was very powerful and loud, and the ministers listened to it in their ears, just like the sound of war drums, which made their blood boil, raise their heads, puff up their chests, and want to kill them on the battlefield immediately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Whew!" Li Bingchang took a long breath, and finally stabilized his mood, and then smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what it means to get Shaanzhou?" ”

Western Xia is salivating for Shaanzhou, and he has long wanted to get it. The ministers knew the benefits of Shaanzhou, but when Li Bingchang was happy, no one wanted to steal the limelight from him, no one said it, but said in unison: "Please also ask the emperor for the holy teaching!" ”

"Haha!" Li Bingchang raised his head to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was unusually cheerful.

"Haha!" The ministers, of course, understood what was going on, and laughed along, and for a moment, the laughter shook the roof tiles, buzzing, like thunder.

After a while, the laughter stopped, Li Bingchang paced, and said neatly: "If I get Shaanzhou, I can go to the Central Plains to chase the deer, Song, Liao, and Daxia, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer." ”

Pacing in front of the map, he pressed his right hand on Shaanzhou and said, "Here, it is the foundation of the royal industry!" In the early years of the Warring States Period, the famous general Wu Qi led the Wei army to seize the land west of the river, which overlooked Guanzhong, which was a good opportunity to destroy the Qin State. It's a pity that the king of Wei had no ambition and missed this opportunity, and did not take the opportunity to march, giving the Qin State a good opportunity to survive. ”

In the early Warring States period, the first powerful country was the Wei State, and the famous general Wu Qi seized the land west of the Qin River, because of the high terrain here, you can overlook Guanzhong, which is indeed a good opportunity to destroy the Qin State. The Wei State used this as a springboard, and even the Hangu Pass was defeated, and the Qin State was on the verge of extinction. Therefore, Qin Xiaogong learned from the pain, determined to change the law to become strong, and recruited talents from all over the world, so that Shang Ying entered Qin alone.

Li Bingchang's emotion is very reasonable, and when he got the land west of the river, the Wei State was not governed, which was tantamount to being abandoned and a great opportunity was missed.

"In the north of Shaanzhou, the terrain is high, you can overlook Guanzhong, if you start from here, attack Guanzhong, and get eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, I will be a great thing!" Li Bingzhang's fingers kept swiping on the map, and from the northern part of Shaanzhou to Guanzhong, a march route appeared.

"This march route has been walked by predecessors." Li Bingchang is a person who is well-versed in the past and the present, and is familiar with historical facts, and continued: "The first person to take this route was Qin Xianggong. King Zhou You's Beacon Fire Drama Princes, and finally fell, and the Zhou family was in danger. King Zhou Ping successively entered Qi Jin to ask for help, but the king of Qi Jin ignored him. King Zhou Ping had no way to ask for help, so he had to trek through mountains and rivers to come here, the Qin tribe, and asked to see Qin Xianggong. Qin Xianggong led 50,000 Qin tribe warriors, from here and here, straight down to Guanzhong, and 80,000 Rong Di fought in Haojing, broke Rong Di, recovered Haojing, and then Kuang Zhou room, which was the first merit of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's a pity that King Zhou Ping doesn't trust Qin Xianggong, let alone appreciate it, what he trusts is still the great prince Qi Jin of Shandong, and he will reward Qin Xianggong with the land of Qifeng, the hometown of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although the name is a heavy reward, it is actually suspicious, because this place is occupied by Rong Di, he wants to drive wolves and tigers, and use Rong Di's hands to consume Qin Xianggong's military strength. What King Zhou Ping didn't expect was that the old Qin people dared to fight, and Qin Xianggong recovered these lost hometowns one by one, becoming a big country among the princes, sitting on 800 miles of Qinchuan. ”

"Huh!" Speaking of this, Li Bingchang burst into laughter again, and his eyes were full of wonderful little stars: "Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, that is the foundation of the royal industry!" As a result, the Western Zhou Dynasty arose and established the Zhou Chamber. Based on this, the Qin State made a big move out of the world, swept away the Six Kingdoms, and unified China. If I get 800 miles of Qinchuan, the army of Great Xia can go east to Guguan and compete with Zhao Ji for hegemony like the Qin army back then. At that time, Yelu Hongji entered the Central Plains from the north, and I entered the Central Plains from Guanzhong, echoing each other from afar, can this Central Plains still be Zhao Ji's? ”

He drew a wonderful blueprint, which was exhilarating and exciting, and the ministers couldn't help laughing, and their eyes were shining with blazing light, as if they had entered the Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

"I formed a coalition with Liao to resist the Song Dynasty, and on the grounds of containing the western soldiers, I asked Yelu Hongji for more money and goods, and secretly assured Zhao Ji that he was willing to form an alliance with Zhao Ji, so that Zhao Ji could rest assured that he would transfer the western soldiers to the north. At that time, Shaanzhou will be empty, and I will be able to send troops on a large scale, seize the northern part of Shaanzhou, enter Guanzhong, and sit on the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and the big thing will be done! The more Li Bingchang talked, the happier he became, but he was cunning everywhere, he was really an old fox.

"Hengshan is in hand, you can attack, you can retreat, you can defend it, you can advance and retreat freely, if you want to fight, you will send troops in a big way, and defeat Zhao Ji's soldiers and horses in Shaanzhou in one fell swoop!" Li Zongbao clenched his right hand into a fist, very excited.

"Yes!" The ministers immediately chimed in, saying: "The terrain of Hengshan is complex, and there are many dangerous passes, which is a natural danger in Great Xia. There is Hengshan, even if Zhao Ji dispatches a million troops, he can't help it! ”

Hengshan is a natural danger, whoever controls Hengshan will be able to advance and retreat freely. The Song Dynasty always wanted to capture Hengshan, but it was unsuccessful. The Western Xia controlled Hengshan, and with the complex terrain of Hengshan, they advanced and retreated freely, which always gave the Song Dynasty a headache.

As we all know, the northwest is a plateau terrain, the terrain is very high, the Western Xia fought the Song Dynasty is condescending, take advantage of it, plus control Hengshan, this battle is more convenient.

On the contrary, the Song Dynasty wanted to fight Western Xia, but it was an attack from the back and suffered a loss. This is an important reason why the Song Dynasty has always been unable to take Western Xia.

"What a pity! That Wang Shao is so hateful, he took away the land of Xihe! Li Bingchang's face changed, and he said hatefully: "If the land of Xihe is still in my hands, then I can divide my troops into two routes, from the north and from the west, and attack Shaanzhou at the same time." In that case, I'll be much more successful! ”

Guanzhong is known as the land of four stops, there are dangerous barriers in the east, west, north and south, plus 800 miles of Qinchuan, it is a good place to establish the capital. Therefore, the powerful dynasties of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties all set their capitals in Guanzhong. Liu Bang originally wanted to set the capital in Luoyang, but after listening to Lou Jing's words, he immediately moved the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an.

The four stops in the pass, the east is the Hangu Pass, the north is the land of Hexi, the west is the land of the Xi River, the south is the Nanshan, which is now the Qinling Mountains, which is an excellent natural risk, is the four gates of the pass.

However, when the Song Dynasty was established, it only controlled Hangu Pass and Qinling, and the land of Xihe and Hexi were not in their hands. That is to say, the Song Dynasty only mastered half of the four major portals in Guanzhong, and the other two portals were not in the hands of the Song Dynasty, which was an important reason why Song Taizu knew that it was better to set the capital in Guanzhong than in Bianjing, but he did not dare to put the capital in Guanzhong.

In that case, if the capital is put in Guanzhong, it is looking for death and waiting to be beaten.

In fact, the Song Dynasty never gave up the plan to move the capital from Bianjing to Guanzhong, and has been building Guanzhong, but the gate cannot be closed, it is not safe enough, and it has not been moved to Guanzhong.

Wang Shao seized the land of Xihe and closed the west gate of Guanzhong, which was a major blow to Western Xia. Otherwise, Li Bingchang sent troops in two ways, and Guanzhong would definitely be in danger.

"This time, I have decided to dispatch the Iron Harrier, do your best, and enter the pass as quickly as possible!" Li Bingchang was very excited.

The Iron Harrier was the most elite army in Western Xia, and it was as famous as the leather room army of the Liao State and the Jurchen Tiefutu. Waiting for leisure will not be dispatched, this time the stakes are very high, and Li Bingchang finally decided to do his best.

"Good! As long as the Iron Harrier is dispatched, Guanzhong will be captured! The ministers were very happy.

"The odds are high, but you can't say that." Li Bingzhang waved his hand, and said very soberly: "The Yao family and the seed family in Shaanzhou are all fierce enemies, and they are deeply familiar with the military road, which should not be underestimated. ”

The situation in Shaanzhou is very different from that in the north, and the main ones who govern the army here are several great families, the most famous of which are the Chongjia and the Yao family, and the Chongjia Army and the Yao Family Army are famous in history.

The most famous breeder is the "Great Song Army Soul" known as the Seed Master Dao, and the Yao family is the most famous is Yao Pingzhong.

The name of the master is famous, and there is no need to say it in detail, such as the name of the thunderous ear, known as the soul of the Great Song Dynasty, and admired by future generations. Yao Pingzhong's name is notorious, because when the Jurchens first came to Bianjing, he went to steal the camp, and after being besieged by the Jin army, he left behind more than 10,000 Yao soldiers and fled alone, and has not known what happened ever since.

Yao Pingzhong's failure to rob the camp triggered a chain reaction, and Li Gang resigned because of this, burying the good situation of fighting against the Jurchens. Because of this, Yao Pingzhong left a reputation in history.

In fact, Yao Pingzhong was very wronged. He was likely to succeed in robbing the camp, and the reason why he failed was because Song Qinzong leaked the secret. Song Qinzong listened to Yao Pingzhong's advice and wanted to rob the camp, so he thought that the victory was a hand-to-hand capture, and asked the palace to prepare a celebration banquet. And he is a big mouth, he actually told this matter, and then passed it on through the miscellaneous eunuchs in the palace, and inquired about it to the spies of the Jurchens, and set up a bureau to wait for Yao Pingzhong to drill.

When Yao Pingzhong found out that the situation was wrong, he knew that someone had leaked secrets, and after he went back, Song Qinzong would definitely punish him for his crime and had to flee. In fact, even if the secret was leaked, the raid camp was still good this time, and with Li Gang raising troops to help, he actually won a good battle. It's a pity that Song Qinzong indiscriminately gave Li Gang away.

"The two Yao families are indeed a little tricky, but if the elite of Great Xia is exhausted, they are not afraid of them." Li Zongbao is very confident.

In recent years, the Song army that fought with the Western Xia in the north of Shaanzhou was mainly the army of the two Yao Chong families, and the ministers of the Western Xia Dynasty knew the situation of the Yao Chong two armies very well. Although these two armies are very capable of fighting, if the elite of Western Xia is exhausted, coupled with the convenience of condescending, it is not impossible to defeat these two armies.

"As long as the Yao and the two families are defeated, the northern part of Shaanzhou will be in the hands of Great Xia. Then, I personally led the army and went straight to Guanzhong, and the big thing was done! Li Bingchang was very happy and said: "Li Zongbao, Liang Xi, you two start to prepare, once the time is ripe, send troops directly, you don't have to report to me, you just do it cheaply!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them led in unison.

A plot against the Song Dynasty was thus completed.
