Chapter 104: Di Qing's Western Expedition

The joy in Li Zheng's eyes was by no means fake.

It seems that Li Zheng really likes girls with beautiful eyes.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it and smiled: "How dare I deceive Your Majesty for such a big matter?" ”

"She's my queen." Li Zheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

If you can see Zhang Hatdie's eyes every day and night, it will definitely wash away his fatigue.

Wei Xiaobao said speechlessly: "Xiao Zheng is so hasty after the election? ”

"Don't think I don't know, there are hundreds of show girls, you only brought Zhang Hatdie into the palace, don't you just want to show me in advance?" Li Zheng smiled happily.

Wei Xiaobao also smiled: "I can't hide anything." ”

Li Zheng looked to the side with his hands behind his back, there were rows of red lanterns on that side, swaying violently in the cold wind, which was very beautiful.

Wei Xiaobao asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty is worried about Li Hao?" ”

When the people of Great Wei were welcoming the New Year, Li Hao led an army of 150,000 and invaded Nanming in the south.

The warm breeze in Nanming was warm, and the people were supposed to celebrate the Spring Festival, but because of Li Hao's invasion, the people of Nanming fell into the north of the country.

The Southern Ming court was in chaos, and Li Hao's surprise attack could be described as overwhelming.

Within a few days, Li Hao had captured twelve cities and occupied almost half of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

At this year's pass, Li Hao's army approached Dali, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Wei Xiaobao's two-lose-lose situation did not appear.

Under Li Hao's iron horse, Nanming's soldiers were so vulnerable.

Thinking about it, even the fierce Xi Chu is very afraid of Li Hao.

Nanming Shangwen is not good at force, and he is not Li Hao's opponent.

"Don't look at the docile temperament of the people of Nanming, but if Li Hao rules them, within a few years, he will be able to train those good people into bloodthirsty warriors." That's what Li Zheng is worried about.

The population of Nanming is large, Li Hao can recruit a large number of soldiers in a few years, and at that time, hundreds of thousands of elite troops will move north, will Chang'an City still be able to hold it?

Wei Xiaobao thought for a long time and asked, "What did Elder Di say?" ”

"Di Lao wants to take command in person and join forces with the Southern Ming Dynasty to exterminate Li Hao." Li Zheng felt that he could do this, but before sending troops, he had to reach an agreement with the Southern Ming court.

However, Di Qing immediately objected, even if an agreement could be reached, it would take several months to come back and forth.

At that time, I am afraid that Nanming has been destroyed by Li Hao.

"Xiaobao, what do you think of Elder Di's plan?" Li Zheng saw that Wei Xiaobao didn't speak, and asked urgingly.

Wei Xiaobao shook his head lightly and said, "Beiyuan has been keeping an eye on Chang'an, once the army goes south, they will definitely make a move." ”

"Di Lao also thought of this, so he planned to take only 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south, leaving Dillon to take 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Chang'an with the Praetorian Guard." Li Zheng simply rejected Di Qing's proposal.

How can 50,000 soldiers and horses go south?

Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, after the Lantern Festival, I will personally lead people south, do not take Li Hao's head, and never return to Chang'an." ”

"Li Hao is surrounded by masters like clouds, and he is protected by heavy soldiers, how do you take his head? It's not appropriate. Li Zheng shook his head again and again, choosing to refuse.

Wei Xiaobao is saying big things, and it is expected that Li Zheng will not agree, even if Li Zheng agrees, he will have a way to make himself unable to go south at that time.

After talking for a long time, Wei Xiaobao stopped going around the bend and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, there is only one choice left, which is to recapture the Six Cities of Ziyang and completely cut off Li Hao's retreat." ”

Li Zheng frowned and pondered, feeling that this plan was feasible.

The Six Cities of Ziyang are the military horse farms of the Great Wei, and if they can be recaptured, it will be of great significance.

"Okay, that's it." Li Zheng quickly made a decision.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, before Li Hao goes south, he will definitely have an agreement with Western Chu, and when the time comes, we will not only face the 50,000 army left by Li Hao, but also the army of Western Chu." ”

Li Zheng had a headache when he heard this, and he really didn't know what to do.

"Let's rest first, we'll discuss this matter tomorrow." Li Zheng inexplicably wanted to get a good night's sleep.

That night, Wei Xiaobao did not leave the palace, but took the second daughter to the small courtyard in the palace.

It is said to be a small courtyard, and there are several rooms.

Wei Xiaobao let the second daughter sleep in the main house, and he went to the side room to make up for the night.

Early the next morning, Li Zheng summoned Di Qing, Bai Muliang and others to the Qiankun Hall to continue the discussion.

Knowing that Wei Xiaobao wanted to recapture the Six Cities of Ziyang first, Di Qing shook his head again and again, thinking that it was inappropriate.

There is only one reason given by Di Qing, that is, after they recapture the six cities, Li Hao may have gained a firm foothold in Nanming, and it will be difficult to get rid of Li Hao at that time.

"Great Wei is now under attack on all sides, no matter how you choose, you are taking a risk, but the old minister is more inclined to the proposal of the overseer, first recapture my Great Wei's military horse farm, and after recruiting and growing, it is not too late to wave troops south." Bai Muliang said it reasonably, but in fact, Wei Xiaobao was the first to look forward.

Wei Xiaobao said west, then go west.

It's also nice to not have to use your brain.

"Report." Xiao An ran into the Qiankun Palace at this moment, holding an emergency military situation.

After receiving this information, the military department only glanced at it and immediately sent it to the palace.

Li Zheng took it and unfolded it, looked overjoyed, slammed his fist on the table, and said, "Great." ”

Wei Xiaobao and others circulated it one after another, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Just last night, Li Hao launched a surprise attack on Dali, the capital of Nanming, who knew that Nanming had buried fire oil outside the city.

After the oil was ignited, tens of thousands of Li Hao's soldiers were buried in the fire.

Li Hao retreated fifty miles overnight, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

"It seems that Li Hao is also very good at defeating generals." Li Zheng is in a very good mood.

As long as Nan Ming behaved a little stronger, he didn't have to be so bad.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Since Nanming has a back hand, then we just need to wait and see what happens for the time being, and we can sit back and reap the benefits." ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Bai Muliang agreed.

At this point, what else can Di Qing say?

But when Li Hao fought hard with Nanming, he could indeed recover the six cities of Ziyang first.

Di Qing thought about it and asked, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to take command and recapture the six cities of Ziyang." ”

"That's right." Li Zheng replied with a smile.

Di Qing wanted to jump into the fire pit, but Wei Xiaobao naturally wouldn't stop him.

At that time, Di Qing set up an ambush to kill him in the middle of the road, as long as Di Qing took command of the western expedition, he could return this grievance.

At that time, they had an open and honest conversation, and it can be regarded as resolving the grievance.

But Wei Xiaobao knew very well in his heart that Di Qing had always wanted to kill him.

Di Qing thinks very highly of himself, and he can't see the eunuchs in power.

Wei Xiaobao was also very calm, knowing that he couldn't blatantly kill Di Qing, nor could he assassinate him, and now the opportunity was finally coming.

Let Di Qing die on the battlefield, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of this old man.

As for Di Qing's son Dillon, it will be up to him to see if the kid will be obedient or not.

If you can hold the Great Wei military power in your hands, it must feel great.

A few days later, Di Qing led an army of 50,000 and began his expedition to the west.

Dillon temporarily took over the Praetorian Guard and was in charge of the security of Chang'an City.

Di Qing, as the wolf commander of the Great Wei, is almost a god-like existence in the minds of the people.

This time Di Qing went west, and the people believed that Di Qing could win a complete victory and recover the six cities of Ziyang.

Wei Xiaobao didn't care about Di Qing's victory or defeat, and concentrated on getting his black powder and preparing for the first test.
