Song Shenzong's eyebrows were tightened, and he kept pacing back and forth, looking worried.

Not only is he worried, but Wang Anshi, which of them is not frowning and worried?

"Official, but please be relieved." Lu Gong frowned and was relieved: "In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty is invincible, no matter what the result is, the Great Song Dynasty will win or lose." ”

In the first war in the north, no matter what the result, the Song Dynasty would be invincible, this has become a consensus. It is precisely because of this consensus that the atmosphere between the DPRK and China is relatively relaxed, and the phenomenon of being extremely nervous and panicked at the mention of the Liao army's pressure on the territory has disappeared without a trace.

"Yes!" Lu Huiqing hurriedly echoed: "Even if the war is unfavorable, the army of the Great Song Dynasty will fight a bloody battle, killing and injuring many Liao troops." Not to mention, before the army of the Great Song Dynasty withdrew, it would wreak havoc on a pass, making the Liao State unable to go south for ten years. With such favorable time, the Great Song Dynasty could concentrate all his efforts on dealing with Western Xia. As long as Hengshan was captured, the Great Song Dynasty locked Western Xia in the northwest, and Shaanzhou would be safe. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty could concentrate its forces against a country, whether it was against Western Xia or Liao, depending on the situation. ”

Because the Western Xia and the Liao State were embarrassed and colluded together to deal with the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty could not concentrate its forces to deal with one country, and had to disperse its forces and fight on two fronts, which made the Song Dynasty very passive. Now is a great opportunity, the Liao State is unable to go south in ten years, and the Song Dynasty can concentrate its forces against the Western Xia. As long as there was no containment of the Liao State, it would not be too difficult for the Song Dynasty to deal with the Western Xia.

I don't dare to say that the destruction of Western Xia is much greater. As long as Hengshan is in hand, the Western Xia will be locked in the northwest, and Shaanzhou will be safe.

"What you say, why don't I know it?" Song Shenzong slowly spoke, and said more worriedly: "That's the worst-case scenario. Why can't we strive for a better situation? Even if the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, it would make the Liao State unable to go south within ten years, but if the Great Song Dynasty won, it would be to recover the land of Yanyun in one fell swoop. As long as the land of Yanyun is recaptured, the Liao State will not be able to invade the Central Plains again within ten years, even within a hundred years. ”

The reason why the Liao State repeatedly raised troops to invade the territory was, in the final analysis, because the sixteen states of Yanyun were in the hands of the Liao State. The sixteen states of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Liao State, and the convenience to the Liao State was mainly in two aspects, one was to greatly increase the strength of the Liao State, with sophisticated equipment, a large number of taxes, and countless grains and grass. With these war resources in hand, it is impossible for the Liao State not to use troops in the rich Central Plains.

The second is that the geographical location of the land of Yanyun is too important, and it is the barrier of the Central Plains. Mastering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will master the springboard for attacking the Central Plains.

It is precisely because of this that for more than 100 years, the Liao State has always been eyeing the Central Plains.

If this battle is fought well and the sixteen states of Yanyun are recovered in one fell swoop, first, the strength of the Liao State will plummet, and the Liao State will be beaten back to its original form, just like a hundred years ago, without developed skills, without sophisticated equipment, no taxes, no grain and grass, it is almost impossible for the Liao State to conquer.

Not to mention anything else, it is said that daily necessities, such as tea, porcelain, and silk, have to be exchanged for things, and the price is very high. Under the circumstance that even the most basic living security was a problem for the Liao State, it is difficult to imagine that the Liao State used troops on a large scale against the Song Dynasty.

Second, if the sixteen states of Yanyun were lost, they would lose the springboard for attacking the Central Plains, and it would be impossible for the Liao State to use troops against the Central Plains at all.

It is precisely because of this that the sixteen states of Yanyun are too important, and Song Shenzong, knowing that the Song Dynasty is invincible, still hopes to win this battle and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop.

The more he looked forward to it, the more nervous and worried he became. These days, he discussed with Wang Anshi and them all day long, what the number of winners and losers of this battle was. However, no one came to a conclusion, so they could only wait patiently.

Waiting was the most torturous, Song Shenzong was worried, and the whole person lost weight.

"Officials, the soldiers are in danger, it is difficult to reach a conclusion, and no one can say the number of victories and defeats, so it is better to wait patiently." Wang Anshi sighed lightly and comforted Song Shenzong.

He, like Song Shenzong, was also worried, but there was nothing he could do, in the current situation, what else could he do besides waiting?

"Wait, wait, wait! It's hard to wait! Song Shenzong looked unwilling: "I knew this was the case, I would have personally enlisted, and I would have gotten the news as soon as possible, how good it would be!" ”

Seeing Song Shenzong's anxious appearance in his eyes, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong smiled bitterly. Who doesn't want to know about such a big battle that affects the fate of the world for the first time?

"Why is my life so bitter!" Just when the three of them smiled bitterly, they only heard Song Shenzong say something inexplicable.

Wang Anshi They heard it in their ears, and they were curious in their hearts, the dignified emperor, where did they come from? Listening to Song Shenzong's tone, it seems that he is the most bitter person in the world, or he can't be surprised.

Lu Gong was about to inquire, only to hear Song Shenzong's self-pity and say: "I not only have to worry about the war in the north, but also the war in Shaanzhou. The war in the north was difficult to understand for a while, and the war in Shaanzhou was even more confusing. I was worried about two wars for a while, do you think my life is bitter? ”

Two wars were fought at the same time, which is very rare in Chinese history. In general, as long as it can be avoided, it is avoided as much as possible, and the forces are concentrated to fight a war. It's a pity that Song Shenzong can't avoid it, whether he is compromising or responding strongly, Liao and Western Xia will attack at the same time and have to fight two wars.

Moreover, these two wars have a lot to do with each other, and they are related to the safety of the world, who can not care? Who can not be anxious?

"Hey!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong sighed in unison.

"Western Xia should send troops!" Song Shenzong was so distressed that he couldn't stop pulling his hair.

Song Shenzong was not wrong, Western Xia really sent troops.

At this moment, the northwest is a land of ice and snow, with snow and snow, and the wind roars and rolls up snowflakes in the sky.

"Rumble!" I only heard the sound of thunderous hooves, which shook the ground and shook the ground, and I saw a group of Western Xia troops braving the wind and snow and braving the severe cold, passing through the mountains.

Hengshan is hundreds of miles in circumference, the terrain is complex, extremely dangerous, and there are only a few mountain roads. Therefore, whoever occupies Yokoyama will be able to pass through Yokoyama freely. If you can't control Hengshan and march in Hengshan, you will lose more than win, so to speak, there is almost no chance of victory.

This was fully demonstrated in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. For the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty really didn't take it to heart, and adopted a different strategy from the Liao State. For the Liao State, the Song Dynasty adopted a defensive strategy, but against the Western Xia, it adopted an offensive strategy. In the decades-long war against the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty has been on the offensive, however, no matter how the Song Dynasty attacked, it always failed.

The reason for this is because Hengshan is not in the hands of the Song Dynasty. There was only one way for Western Xia to deal with the Song Dynasty, which was to lure the enemy deep and cut off the enemy's grain route. As soon as the Song Dynasty sent troops, the Western Xia retreated, led the Song army to Hengshan, and then sent troops to cut off the Song army's grain route, and then attacked the Song army.

For this trick, Western Xia has used it for decades, but it has been successful repeatedly. Song Chaoming knew that this was the old trick of Western Xia, but because of Hengshan's special surname, there was no way to take Western Xia.

This really responds to the old saying "one trick is fresh, eat all over the world", and the Western Xia ate the Song Dynasty to death for decades with one move.

Hengshan was controlled by the Western Xia, and the Western Xia army was free to advance and retreat, so they didn't have to worry about being ambushed by the Song army, so they swaggered through the mountain road and marched towards Shaanzhou.

Western Xia is the elite this time, and it is necessary to conquer Shaanzhou in one fell swoop and go straight to Guanzhong. Walking in the middle of the team is the Iron Harrier, all of whom are tall, extremely strong, and the war horse under the crotch is extraordinary.

The Iron Harrier was the most elite army in Western Xia, as famous as the Liao State's leather room army, and was the two most famous armies in the world at that time, rarely appearing on the battlefield, and was more used for deterrence. Like now, the Iron Harrier is as elite as it is done, and it is really rare in the decades-long war between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty.

"With the Iron Harrier in hand, why not win this battle!" Liang Xi rode on the horse, standing beside the horse road, looking at the iron harrier rumbling in, he was in a good mood, and his voice was a few points higher.

"The Iron Harrier of Great Xia is the most elite army in Great Xia, and this time, the Song people must suffer enough." Li Zongbao stood beside the horse and couldn't help nodding.

They have absolute confidence in the Iron Harrier. Since the formation of the Iron Harriers, they have not suffered defeat, and it is not enough for them to have insufficient faith.

"Hey, hey!" Liang Xi smiled sinisterly, looking like a wolf grandmother: "This time, Emperor Song must suffer a big loss." They thought they were scheming against us, but we were scheming against them. ”

"I have to say that Emperor Song has capable people under him, and we almost fell on the road." Li Zongbao smiled, and his mood was particularly comfortable: "If we hadn't chosen to do it on Chinese New Year's Eve, we would have really cheated it." The action on Chinese New Year's Eve means that the Liao Kingdom cannot think of it, and no one in the world will think of it, then, the Song Emperor is likely not to transfer troops from Shaanzhou, we can't help but guard against it! ”

"Yes!" Liang Xi's smile was even greater: "In order to confuse us, Emperor Song put on a posture of transferring a large number of western soldiers, and we were really fooled." If it weren't for the news of the use of troops on Chinese New Year's Eve, which made us wake up, we really plunged headlong into the trap of the Song people. ”

These two people are not incompetent, and at the beginning, they also believed the news that a large number of Shaanzhou soldiers were transferred. It wasn't until the news of the Song Dynasty's move against the Liao State on Chinese New Year's Eve came that they felt that something was wrong. As soon as the two combined, they became more and more convinced that the Song Dynasty did not transfer troops from Shaanzhou, but set a huge trap for them.

"In the Shaanzhou soldiers, the seed army and the Yao family army are very elite and difficult to entangle, we must try our best to avoid it." Li Zongbao stroked his forehead and smiled very happily: "As for Li Xian, although he is a eunuch, he is not incompetent. Tong Guan under his command is brave and good at fighting, courageous, strong in martial arts, and very shrewd, if we fight Li Xian, we will not be too smooth. Looking around, only this person is the most suitable. ”

"Haha!" Liang Xi laughed: "The Song people must still be in the dark, thinking that we have fallen for them." By the time they understand, it's too late! ”
