98. War with the Song court
The main hall of Lin'an Palace.
"Enlighten the Holy Lord!"
"This is the contract letter given to us by Jin Guo!"
"Because the book involves the two important military places of Xiangyang and Haizhou, the minister did not dare to sign it arbitrarily, so he brought it back and asked the Holy Lord to decide!"
Tang Siwei handed over a document to Emperor Zhao Gou.
"Jin Guo is indeed too deceitful!"
"If the Great Song Dynasty really gave Haizhou and Xiangyang to the Jin people, wouldn't we be subject to them everywhere in the future?"
After Emperor Zhao Gou read the treaty, he couldn't help but say.
"Holy!"
"What is the calculation of Haizhou and Xiangyang in these districts?"
"After all, the Jin people haven't crossed the Yellow River yet?"
"Wouldn't it be better for us to temporarily agree to all the Jin people's requests, so that they can send troops to exterminate the Xu thieves for us?"
"After all, compared to the Jin people now, Xu Thief is the biggest threat to us!"
Fahai reminded Zhao Gou on the side.
"What the national teacher said is reasonable!"
"The most important thing is to eliminate the thief first!"
"After all, now that thief not only openly disobeys my orders, but also calls himself the emperor in the name of the jade seal of the country!"
"I will never tolerate such an act of a thief anymore!"
"So Tang Siwei, you will go to the Jin country again with the national teacher this time, and be sure to let the Jin people send troops to fight against that thief!"
"And I will issue a reprimanding order tomorrow to condemn the thief and order my Great Song army and people to start a crusade against the thief!"
Zhao Gou didn't seem to be in a hurry anymore.
So Zhao Gou officially issued an order to recruit Xu Xian the next day, and began to order the three-way army to march together to crusade against Xu Xian.
Henan Mansion, Luoyang City.
"Your Majesty!"
"This is the summons issued by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to you!"
Xu Xian had just returned to Luoyang when he received a letter from Prime Minister Lu You.
Xu Xian, you used to be my prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the secretary of the military department, the marshal of the soldiers and horses, and even I appeased you to the king, hoping that you can return to the dynasty to reform your life, but you don't think that I serve the Great Song Dynasty, and the conspiracy is not only trapped in Shaoxing, but also poisoned the government and the opposition, and now it is rebelling in Luoyang, confusing the people in the world, such acts are really the evil thieves of the country, and they should be punished by people and gods.
Therefore, I have ordered the three-way army, Yu Yunwen is the commander of the western route army, leading 150,000 troops: Li Xianzhong is the commander of the middle route army, leading 180,000 troops: Wang Qi is the commander of the eastern route army, leading 200,000 troops, and the three-way army marches together, crusading against traitors such as Er Er, Ruoer and other traitors are willing to change their ways and enter the court to lead the crime, I should be magnanimous, and Bao Er and others have no worries about their lives, otherwise the thieves and others will end up with no corpses in the future.
After Xu Xian opened the letter, he took it personally.
"Prime Minister Lu!"
"King Zhou!"
"What do you two think of this faint king's begging for me?"
Xu Xian handed the letter to the two of them.
"It's... It's ridiculous to attack the book of the faint king... Ridiculous! ”
"Does it deserve to accuse others with such a high-sounding sound?"
"It's not that it's afraid of gold like a mouse, why is Song Ting humiliated by the Tartars everywhere?"
"If it has the courage to fight against us when it fights against the Tartars, why does it turn us against us?"
"Therefore, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we don't have to be afraid of the people sent by this faint monarch at all!"
"We will swear to defend Luoyang and Guanzhong to the death!"
After reading the letter, Lu You responded first.
"yes!"
"This faint monarch actually sent troops to crusade against us!"
"I will work with the Qin King Tushan Hexi, the Han King Yuelin, and the Liang King Servant Scatter Zhongyi to lead the troops to resist the Song army, and let them see the true strength of our Ming army now!"
Xin Qiji continued.
"Good!"
"Since the Song Dynasty is bent on destroying us!"
"We have no way to retreat now, from today onwards, we will mobilize all members of the Ming Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty!"
"Prime Minister Lu, this Luoyang will be handed over to you and Prime Minister Han Cheng for the time being!"
"I plan to use myself as the chief general of the Middle Route Army this time, King Zhou, you as the military advisor, and King Han as the deputy general!"
"As for the King of Qin and the King of Liang, they will each lead their own people to resist the attack of the Song Court in the east and west directions!"
"I wonder what you think?"
Xu Xian asked everyone.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that you want to take my Xin Qiji and Han Wang Yuelin's subordinates as the main force, and you will personally lead the entire land of Henan Mansion!"
"King Liang's loyal army is the Eastern Route Army, which resists the invasion of the Eastern Route Army of the Song Dynasty in Bianjing!"
"And the army of King Qin is in Guanzhong, resisting the attack of the army of the Song Dynasty on the West Road?"
"But if you are like this, let the servants scatter Zhongyi in the face of the Song army's most powerful Wang Qi's 200,000 army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend!"
After Lu You listened to Xu Xian's order, he analyzed.
"The Song army seems to be the strongest of the 200,000 troops of Wang Qi's army, but in fact, its strongest army is its Li Xianzhong army, after all, most of its subordinates are brave and good at fighting Huaixi army!"
"Although the Song Army's East Route Army has a large number of people, King Liang's army is not weak, so King Liang's army can't defeat the Song East Route Army, and you can also abandon Bianjing and retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass to defend it!"
"And the weakest of the Song army is Yu Yunwen's Western Route Army, but after all, there is the blocking of the Qinling Xiongguan, and it is not easy for the Western Song Army to invade our Guanzhong!"
"Your Majesty's decision, isn't it because you want to personally lead me and the army under King Han to deal with Li Xianzhong's army to fight the victory?"
Xin Qiji also analyzed.
"You're right, that's what I thought!"
Xu Xian nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty's decision is very wise!"
"But it's not so easy to deal with that Li Xianzhong!"
Han Yanzhi also spoke.
"yes!"
"I heard that Li Xianzhong is very cunning, but he is not so easy to deal with!"
Lu You also reminded.
"Since I want to personally lead the troops to deal with Li Xianzhong, of course I already have my own chance of winning!"
"You don't have to worry!"
Xu Xian had actually been waiting for this battle for a long time.
After seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Xu Xian immediately issued his own edict, listing the ten major sins of Zhao Gou, announcing to the world, and officially opposing the Song Dynasty.
"King Qin!"
"King Qin...!"
"The Song army has now stationed 150,000 troops in Xingyuan Mansion in the name of begging thieves, ready to crusade against our Guanzhong land!"
At this time, a spy came to report to the soldiers stationed in Jingzhao Mansion.
"Good!"
"This king hasn't fought a battle for a long time, and now it's time to practice with these Song people!"
"And Your Majesty just ordered yesterday to let this king supervise the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and make every effort to resist the invasion of the Song people!"
"Come on, immediately order down, everyone is armed, let's go to Fengxiang first and wait for these Song people!"
After receiving the news from the spies, Tudan Hexi immediately gave an order.
Bianjing Prefecture.
"King Qi Liang!"
"The Song people's East Road army has crossed Huaishui and is preparing to come in the direction of Xuzhou!"
The spy reported to the servant Tadashi.
"It's finally here!"
"I should let these Song people see and see the power of our Ming New Army again!"
"Tell everyone, come with me now, and go to Xuzhou immediately!"
"In this battle, we don't seek to win or lose, we must give the Song people some color to see!"
Of course, Fusan Zhongyi had already learned that the Song army was coming.
