At this time, Wu Ji was resting in Xiazhou, and did not lead the army to Xingqing Mansion, which made the shocked Li Bingchang not expect. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiazhou is the east gate of Xingqing Mansion, Wu Ji took Xiazhou, which is tantamount to pointing at Xingqing Mansion.

If Xingqing Mansion is taken down, Western Xia will be finished. Although the Western Xia was strong and pressed the Song Dynasty for decades, it was just a small land, lacking strategic depth and unable to take a roundabout, and as soon as Xingqing Mansion was lost, it was completely finished.

It is precisely because of this that Li Bingchang was extremely frightened and frightened after confirming that Xia Zhou was lost.

This matter, not only Li Bingchang couldn't think of it, but even Zhou Wei couldn't think of it, they couldn't understand why after occupying Xiazhou, Wu Ji suddenly ordered to rest and recuperate, and no longer moved forward.

Xiazhou, Li Yan's handsome mansion, is very generous, the layout is very luxurious, and it is gorgeous. It's a pity that it has now become Wu Ji's residence. Because there are too many rooms, Wu Ji will definitely not be able to live alone, and Zhou Wei and they are not polite to live here.

Wu Ji took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup very comfortably, and glanced at Zhou Wei and them. They all looked like they wanted to speak, but they just hesitated and didn't say anything.

"We have gained a good battle this time." As if he hadn't seen their expressions, Wu Ji said with a smile: "Western Xia has stored a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance in Xiazhou, which is enough for us for several years. Western Xia is just a small land, poor mountains and bad waters, it is really unexpected that so much grain, grass, and ordnance can be collected! ”

Western Xia is too small, and there are countless grains and grasses stored in Xiazhou, enough for 100,000 troops for three years and five years, Wu Ji was shocked when he learned the news. Western Xia is also too good at collecting.

"It's not our Da Song yet?" Zhou Wei put the teacup in his hand heavily, and said angrily: "The Great Song Dynasty wants to give Xixia a year's coin every year, which is an enemy. With these coins, Xixia Dog can recruit troops and buy horses, raise strong soldiers and horses, and then go back to fight the Great Song Dynasty. The Western Xia dogs plundered countless people, and a large part of them were stored in Xiazhou, and I recognized a lot, not to mention the silk and satin, and some of the gold and silver were still branded with the mark of the Great Song Dynasty. Hum! ”

What he said was the truth, after taking Xiazhou, Wu Ji ordered to check the treasury, and found a lot of Song Dynasty coins to Western Xia, and the Song Dynasty imprint on them was still there. At that time, as soon as they saw these silver taels, Zhou Wei and the others were angry and cursed Xixia viciously.

Although Wu Ji did not curse, he was full of emotion. Although the Song Dynasty was highly developed in economy and was a pinnacle of ancient China, even the powerful Tang Dynasty could not compare, but it was a loss of New Year's coins this year and a tribute next year.

This is the capital enemy, after the alien race gets these goods, they recruit troops and buy horses, raise strong soldiers and horses, and then go back to fight the Song Dynasty. The more they fought, the more the Song Dynasty bowed its head, and the more New Year's coins were given. In the end, the aliens were simply not satisfied with the New Year's coin, and raised troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, which is what the Jurchens and Mongols did.

In the eyes of other races, the Song Dynasty is a piece of big fat that everyone can gnaw on, who will miss it?

In the past, Wu Ji could only imagine this kind of harm, but now, he has seen the New Year's coins lost to other races with his own eyes, and the feeling is far beyond what can be described by pen and ink.

"The Great Song Dynasty paid Liaogou decades of year-old coins, and gave Xixia Dog decades of year-old coins, in the end, not only did not exchange for the peace of the border pass, but it was the iron hoof of the alien race!" Huangfu Song was also angry, his voice turned high, and said: "The Great Song Dynasty exports so many New Year's coins every year, just using his own silver to make himself uncomfortable!" ”

When these words went up to the hearts of the generals, they all agreed with it and echoed it.

"Fortunately, now, we have broken the Khitan and taken Xiazhou, and this harm no longer exists!" Wu Ji waved his hand to stop the generals from talking.

If you don't stop it, let them continue to talk, and you don't know when you will talk about it. The matter of losing the New Year's currency is too infuriating, and the Song Dynasty still loses for decades, and it is not a problem for them to scold for three days and three nights.

"Commander Wu Du, there is a question I have always wanted to ask, but it is not easy to ask." Zhou Wei looked at Wu Ji, his eyes were full of expectation, and he said with a smile: "Commander Wudu, why do you want us to rest in Xiazhou?" ”

This question is exactly what the generals have in their hearts, and they have wanted to ask it for a long time, but it has not been easy to ask. They have always believed in Wu Ji, Wu Ji will do whatever he wants them to do, without a word, although they can't figure it out, they have been enduring it. It's rare to endure until now before asking questions.

"yes!" The generals echoed in unison: "Take Xiazhou, we are only a few miles away from Xingqing Mansion, as long as we work harder, we can take Xingqing Mansion in one go." If you take Xingqing Mansion, you will destroy Western Xia, and the northwest will be pacified. We can all see that Wu Du commanded you to be wise and martial, and you won't even be able to see this, what are you thinking? ”

Regarding Wu Ji's order, the generals didn't dare to think about Wu Ji's dizziness, but guessed that Wu Ji must have other intentions. It's just that they got together and discussed it many times, but they couldn't figure it out.

Wu Ji has a deep meaning in every step, he will never be in chaos, he will never be without deep meaning, if anyone thinks about Wu Ji's dizziness, he will definitely drown in the spittle of the generals.

Wu Ji didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the generals, looked at the curious looks of the generals, shook his head slightly, and said, "You guys are too curious." ”

"Commander Wu Du, such an abnormal thing, who can not be curious?" Qi Dabao spoke out on behalf of the generals.

"Okay!" Wu Ji understood their thoughts very well, and said: "I didn't want you to know about this matter, but you are all people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, I believe that your mouths are bolted, and you must keep the secret!" If anyone leaks half a word, I will engage in military law! ”

Wu Ji's words are not high, but they contain undoubted implications.

"Commander Wudu, please rest assured, we will keep the secret!" The generals were very happy, and they came out in unison, neatly and uniformly.

"Actually, it's not a secret after all, you just need to think about it a lot." Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said: "Although Western Xia is a land of projectiles, the territory is not broad enough, as long as Xingqing Mansion is taken, Western Xia will be over." However, because of this, trouble also comes. Western Xia must be destroyed, but it must be destroyed so that there is no aftermath. ”

"Aftermath?" The more the generals listened, the more confused they became, and their eyes were round, and they didn't know why.

"Wu Du commanded and wiped out the Western Xia capital, what else could there be?" The generals were puzzled and asked in unison.

"Xixia is poor mountains and bad waters, high mountains and dense forests, making Xixia very poor, not many mouths, scarce goods, yes, although Xixia has pressed the Great Song Dynasty for decades, it can only be harmful in Shaanzhou, and cannot enter the Guanzhong." Wu Ji stood up, raised his eyebrows, and said, "If you just want to destroy Western Xia, now is a good opportunity." The elite of Western Xia led by Li Zongbao and Liang Xi has not yet returned to Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion is empty, and as soon as our army arrives, we can defeat it with all our might. ”

"Yes!" The generals echoed in unison: "The Western Xia is empty, and the elite are mostly in Shaanzhou, if we rush to Xingqing Mansion, the Western Xia will undoubtedly be broken, and it will be destroyed very quickly!" ”

"Here's the problem!" Wu Ji paced, furrowed his brows, and said, "If we destroy Western Xia like this, what do you say, what will Li Zongbao and Liang Xi do?" Surrender? Even if they surrendered, would all the elites they led surrender to the Great Song Dynasty? I don't see that there will be a considerable number of people who are unwilling to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and once they get into Hengshan, even if they don't go to Hengshan, but go to other mountains, it will be a huge trouble. ”

Speaking of this, after a slight pause, his voice suddenly turned higher: "You must know that there are not many others in Western Xia, the mountains and forests are the most, wherever you go, occupy the mountains as the king, and the Great Song Dynasty as the enemy, you say, how should the Great Song Dynasty deal with it?" Isn't this a big problem? ”

"This ......" the generals stammered, speechless.

Wu Ji's concerns are very reasonable. If the Western Xia is destroyed now, the elite led by Li Zongbao and Liang Xi will definitely surrender to the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are also many people who will go into the mountains and forests to be the king of the mountain and be the enemy of the Song Dynasty, and at that time, the Song Dynasty will really have a headache.

In the northwest, there are many lofty mountains and mountains, even if the Song Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops, it is useless, there is no battlefield for the army to gallop, but will nest soldiers.

"It's just one of two major hazards." Just when the generals were shocked, Wu Ji said another sentence that shocked them: "In addition to military affairs, I consulted some history books and knew that the land of Western Xia was different. There is no flat land here, there are only high mountains and dense forests, and since ancient times, it has been a troublesome place in China. The desert, although it is a big trouble in China, but the desert is a flat river, which is convenient for the army to move, as long as Huaxia is determined, show courage, and send a large army, it can be broken! The Huns and Turks, aren't they broken in this way? ”

After a while, he said: "The northwest is different, even if it is as strong as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it is still in big trouble in the northwest. The army is useless, the troops are small and powerless, and the Qin army, the Han army, and the Tang army have all suffered. ”

"Yes!" Huangfu Song realized something, and said: "After Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms, he used troops against the Qiang people entrenched here, but it had little effect. After the Han Wu defeated the Xiongnu, the Han army also used troops here, Zhao Chongguo, Duan Jiong, and Zhang Huan all achieved good military achievements, but they could only severely damage the Qiang people, but they could not completely exterminate them. It is that once the Qiang people get into the mountains, the army will not be useful. ”

The threat to China in the northwest is not too great, except for the rise of Tibet and Western Xia, there is no great threat in all dynasties. However, no matter how hard Huaxia tried, it could not completely solve this trouble.

On the desert, the Xiongnu and Turks, these powerful nomadic peoples, were successively killed by the Han and Tang dynasties, while the Qiang people entrenched in the northwest are still there.

The reason for this is because of the terrain there, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the terrain is dangerous, the terrain is complex, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that China is not powerful.

There have been many bandits in the northwest since ancient times, and the reason is here.

"In the lofty mountains, there must be many Qiang people. If we destroy the Western Xia, some of them will descend to the Great Song Dynasty, and some will be enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, which is another big trouble. Wu Ji's eyes flashed, and he said: "Yes, the destruction of Western Xia must be extinguished just right!" Don't leave the aftermath behind! ”

"Commander Wu Du, how to live and destroy Western Xia?" The generals asked in unison.
