Chapter 72: Li Deming's Worries
"Especially with Li Deming behind him, this situation is even more important!"
Song Zhen's words were murderous.
Wang Dan frowned and said: "Your Highness, the Tibetan Cai clan is not to worry, but we need to discuss the difficult army, we can fight, but we need to control the size of the war as much as possible, the Praetorian Guard has just begun to be formed, and the combat effectiveness has not yet been formed, we need to be patient." ”
Song Zhen nodded: "Wang Xiang, what do you mean, I know what you mean, the Great Song Dynasty is the suzerainty for the Dingyan Army, but Li Deming is still the king of Great Xia who is proclaimed by the Liao State, once we make a move against the Dingyan Army, the Liao State is very likely to interfere." ”
Kou Zhun also said: "Official, Your Highness, the minister thinks you might as well ask the opinions of the front-line generals to see what they mean, after all, we are not as good as them on the front line, and we know more things." ”
Zhenzong nodded: "That's true, ask Cao Wei what he plans to do, use it, the intelligence of the Northwest Division under the Military Intelligence Department should also be summarized, and see what the situation is with Li Deming, and why he suddenly agitated the Tibetan talent clan!" ”
Cao Yu hurriedly handed over his hand: "The minister understands, so I will go to urge the Northwest Division and let them upload the latest information to Bianliang as soon as possible." ”
————
"Lingzhi, the capital is urgent!"
Cao Wei took the telegram and looked at the contents on it, he frowned, and the official asked me what I meant, and asked me what I was going to do. Cao Wei thought for a while and said, "Come on, call back to the capital." ”
"Minister, Jingyuan Luling jurisdiction and Weizhou Zhizhou Cao Wei reported, according to the latest information, the current Yuanzhou border Tibetan talent clan is mobilizing, the target is directly aimed at Yuanzhou City, the minister has ordered Yuanzhou to prepare for defense, at the same time, the Zhenrong Army near Yuanzhou, Weizhou, Longzhou and other places have also begun to enter a state of combat readiness, and the Military Intelligence Department is currently exploring the situation in the Weizhou area of the Dingyan Army."
"The minister suggested that the minister should strike first, and the minister should lead the army to Yuanzhou, attack the Tibetan tribe, and nip the danger in the bud!"
In addition, the minister suggested that Xi'an, Huaidejun, Huizhou and other places closely monitor the Dingyan army to prevent it from uniting with the Tibetan Cai people and sneaking up on Jingyuan Road. At the same time, he asked Gyeongju and Bizhou on Yongxing Military Road to prepare to prevent them from escaping in the direction of Huanqing Road! ”
Zhenzong looked at the telegram in his hand and hurriedly said, "Bring the map of Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road!" ”
"Here!" Song Chu hurriedly pointed to Yuanzhou, which is located in the hinterland of Jingyuan Road, with Zhenrong Army to the north, Weizhou to the west, and Gyeongju on Huanqing Road to the east.
"Strange?" Song Zhen frowned: "What does Li Deming want to do?" ”
It would be reasonable for him to choose Huizhou, Xi'an, Huanzhou or Dingbian Army to test the Great Song Dynasty, but he chose the hinterland of Yuanzhou to provoke the Tibetan talents, and what is even more outrageous is that the Tibetan talents really moved!
Wang Dan looked at Cao Yu: "Director Cao, there is specific information about the Dingyan Army in the past few years, if I am not mistaken, in the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu, there was a famine in the Dingyan Army, and Li Deming once wrote to ask the Great Song Dynasty to give one million stones of grain, is there such a thing?" ”
Cao Yu arched his hand and said: "Wang Xiang has a good memory, there is indeed such a thing, but he was blocked back by Wang Xiang, it was also a Dazhong auspicious charm for three years, Li Deming built a palace, but there was a big drought again." He began to attack Hezhou, the Ganzhou Zongge clan and the vicinity of Qinzhou, according to the latest information from the Northwest Division, the drought in the territory of the Dingyan Army is still continuing, and there is no sign of alleviation! ”
"And the war between the Dingyan army and the Ganzhou Uighurs, the Qingtang and Tibetan regions has not ended..."
Kou Zhun was also a little puzzled: "The continuous foreign wars, the internal oppression of the people to build palaces, as well as drought and famine, what does Li Deming's actions mean?" ”
"Do you want to provoke Da Song at this juncture?"
Zhenzong waved his hand: "Li Deming's matter will be put aside first, and the Tibetan talent clan will be dealt with first!" Send a report to Cao Wei, let him encircle and suppress the Tibetan Cai clan first, and focus on monitoring the Dingyan army, don't alarm them first! ”
"Yes!"
Weizhou
Weizhou is located at the junction of the Dingyan Army and the Huanqing Road of the Song Dynasty, it is an important frontier state of the Dingyan Army, when Xia Jingzong Li Yuanhao founded the country, Weizhou was rebuilt as the Weizhou Supervision Division, and its main station is Weizhou, which is one of the twelve supervision and military divisions in the early days of the founding of the Western Xia.
Although the current Weizhou is not yet the Department of Military Supervision, it is still very important for the significance of the Disaster Army.
Under the cold winter of January, the entire city of Weizhou was pitch black, like a giant lying on the wasteland.
Suddenly, a torch lit up on the wasteland not far from Weizhou City, and the torch first turned left three times, then turned right three times, and then went out.
Not long after, the Weizhou city wall also lit up a torch relatively, like the previous one, three circles left and three circles on the right, and then a small basket was put down along the city wall, and five people suddenly appeared on the wasteland, and they quickly ran to the basket with their waists.
The five of them quickly followed the basket to Weizhou City, the torches and baskets quickly disappeared, and Weizhou City fell silent again.
"Come with me, the king is waiting for you!"
The first one led the five men, and said as he went.
One of the five big men was shocked: "Why is the king here?" ”
The man snorted coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”
Frightened, the five quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Li Deming looked at the roasted whole sheep that was bubbling with oil in front of him and was stunned, the war against the Ganzhou Uighurs was not smooth, originally in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Li Deming wanted to attack the Ganzhou Uighurs, but because he saw the stars during the day, Li Deming felt that this was a warning from the heavens, so he had to retreat.
But now that he had once again raised an army to attack the Uighurs, the changes in the Great Song Dynasty had become something he was worried about.
Li Deming clearly knew that if the Dingyan Army wanted to rise, the attitude of Song and Liao was the top priority. Therefore, he did not hesitate to attach himself to the Song Dynasty in Liao, so as to attack the Uighurs in Ganzhou, trying to open up the Hexi Corridor and occupy all the land in Hexi, so that he could have the ability to contend with the Song and Liao countries, and the Dingyan army would have the opportunity to survive directly between the two countries, and even have the possibility of entering the main pass.
Therefore, Li Deming has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence between the Song and Liao countries, especially the high-level officials of the two countries, originally with the Great Song Emperor's worship of the east and west, Li Deming thought that he had the opportunity to seize Ganzhou without scruples, and suddenly came the news that the Song Emperor stopped the east and the west, and issued an edict of guilt.
After Li Deming got the news, he was keenly aware that some kind of change might have happened to the high-level of the Great Song Dynasty, and then Li Deming ordered to start spying on the high-level intelligence of the Song Dynasty, and sure enough, he learned an extremely important news.
The eldest son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen, who had been missing for fifteen years, suddenly reappeared, and since the December of Dazhong Xiangfu, the news about this prince has continued to spread, and it is very miraculous.
These did not make Li Deming very worried, what really worried Li Deming was Cao Wei's actions, Cao Wei, the governor of Jingyuan Luling and the governor of Weizhou, was Li Deming's old opponent.
The relationship between the two people cannot be said to be in love with each other, and it can also be said to be incompatible.
Li Deming was also responsible for being killed by Cao Wei at the same time, he didn't think about starting from the Song Dynasty, but he was blocked back by Cao Wei again and again, and even if it weren't for the Song Dynasty's business focus not in the northwest, Li Deming might have been beaten by Cao Wei like his father Li Jiqian, and became the "famous" god of war.
Once defeated, hide in the ground to recuperate, in order to fight again in the future.
Originally, because of the Song Emperor's lack of attention, Cao Wei was actually more passive to the Dingyan Army, if you don't come, I won't beat you, but if you come, you see that I will beat you to death!
However, in the past month or two, Li Deming clearly felt that Cao Wei had begun to take the initiative to attack, and from time to time he would take his soldiers and horses around Weizhou or the Yellow River, which often caused the border personnel of the Dingyan Army to be frightened.
Of course, Li Deming would not think that this was Cao Wei's own initiative, so there was only one left in the answer, someone at the top of the Song State instructed Cao Wei to do this, Li Deming thought about it, and there was only Zhao Zhen, the king of Han who had just returned to the Song Kingdom.
After that, Li Deming's army, which was supposed to go to conquer the Uighurs in Ganzhou, also began to move towards the border of the Song State, and he was really afraid that when he was fighting the Uighurs in Ganzhou, the Song State would stab him in the back.
And also planned this Tibetan talent incident, he wanted to see what Song Guo's attitude was towards the Dingyan Army.
Is it the same as before, or is it something else?
"King, the man has brought it back!"
Li Deming cut off a piece of meat and said vigorously: "Bring it in." ”
The five people were immediately brought in, and the leader knelt directly on the ground: "My subordinates meet the king!" ”
"How's it going?"
Li Deming took a bite of meat and asked.
"Back to the king, before the minister came back, the Tibetan Cai clan had already set off to Yuanzhou City, and it is estimated that this meeting should have arrived in Yuanzhou City! In addition, on the way back to Weizhou, he found that Song Jun's Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road were suddenly a lot more nervous, and many roads leading to Weizhou were blocked by them, and they were still checking pedestrians. ”
Li Deming bit his flesh and did not speak.
The man bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
"Let's go down!"
With Li Deming's soft sigh, the man quickly bent down and walked out, Li Deming sat on the ground, looking at the flickering lights, his eyes were bright and uncertain.
He took another bite of the meat, stuck the knife in his hand into the roasted whole lamb, and walked straight out of the tent.
"Someone! Armament war! ”
"King, the Song army hasn't come over yet!" The staff hurriedly said: "Who does the king want to fight at this time?!" ”
Li Deming took a deep breath: "Ganzhou Uighurs! ”
The staff was shocked: "What about the Song army?" What if the Song army attacked us while we were attacking the Uighurs in Ganzhou? ”
Li Deming squinted: "They won't come, they are not ready yet!" ”
Li Deming has already said this, the staff is not stupid, he thought about it a little, and his face turned pale.
"The minister knows, and the minister will organize a large army to conquer the Ganzhou Uighurs!"
With Li Deming's order, the entire Weizhou City began to come to life, and countless torches began to light up, and gradually converged into a long line of torches, heading down the west.
Li Deming stood on the horse and sighed in his heart, hoping that it would be in time!
The Tibetan Cai clan has already played its role, and it has let Li Deming know what Song Guo thinks.
He provoked Song Guo so much, but Song Guo didn't say anything at all, and he didn't even send an envoy to question him, as if nothing had happened.
It's just this kind of calmness that makes Li Deming smell a great crisis, Song Guo so calmly ignores the actions of the difficult army, it is very likely that he remembered it for himself, and when the time comes, they will settle the account together.
Li Deming didn't know how Song Guo's idea of wanting and thinking that he could do it came from, but his direct told him that there was not much time left for the Dingyan Army!
It will not be more than five years at the latest, and it will not be less than two years at the shortest, and there will definitely be a war between the Dingyan Army and the Great Song Dynasty!
A battle that will determine the life and death of the army!
And what he Li Deming can do is only to improve the strength of the Dingyan army as much as possible before the outbreak of this war, and the Ganzhou Uighurs are the first!
He, Li Deming, was very well prepared this time, and almost used the old background of the Dingyan Army, wanting to do his best in one battle, completely destroy the Ganzhou Uighurs, and make plans for the future of the Dingyan Army.
Thinking of this, Li Deming only felt bitter in his mouth, and even more bitter in his heart, originally he didn't think much of the Great Song Dynasty, and even had confidence in Liao, but this confidence was based on the fact that the two countries did not regard him as a confidant.
In the case of no real thing.
But once the two countries move in earnest, the pressure on the Dingyan army will be too great!
This is the gap between countries!
As long as the other party makes a little move, he even has to fight against the other party, otherwise he will face a catastrophe.
The two countries of Song and Liao can lose a hundred times, but the Dingyan army can't afford to lose once!
Li Deming sighed lightly, and the horsewhip in his hand tightened a little.
Sure enough, on Li Deming's way to conquer the Uighurs in Ganzhou, he received news that the Tibetan tribe had been raided by the Song army and almost completely annihilated, and Cao Wei was the leader.
"Send troops to Weizhou at night, attack the Tibetan talent clan on the border of the original state, ask for disobedience, and capture a lot of people."
In just one sentence, the Tibetan tribe that arose because of the rebellion disappeared...
————
Bianliang
Imperial
"Cao Wei sent a war report, the Tibetan tribe was pacified, and the night before yesterday, the Weizhou army of the Dingyan army sent westward, and it seemed that it was going to conquer the Ganzhou Uighurs."
Song Zhen put down the battle report in his hand, pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth.
Naturally, there are no grapes in the Great Song Dynasty in December, and these are all brought over by Song Fu from modern times.
Zhao Yingfu likes to eat very much, but Song Zhen didn't dare to give him much to eat, for fear of choking.
After Zhao Paner fed Zhao Yingyi with a smile, she pinched his little nose: "This is the last one, don't eat it!" ”
Zhao Yingfu pouted, and wanted to play tricks, but was picked up by the quick-eyed Song Fu: "Don't cheat, I won't give you any more tricks!" ”
Zhao Yingying's eyes quickly reddened, tears fell straight down, Zhao Paner reluctantly took Zhao Yingyi from Song Fu's arms, and glanced at Song Fuyi by the way: "How old is he, how old are you?" What do you care about with a child? ”
Before the words fell, Zhao Paner only felt that her arms were wet and a little stinky, which made her laugh angrily, and she couldn't help pinching Zhao Ying's little face: "You little guy!" ”
Song Zhen grinned on the side: "How old are you, how old is he?" What do you care about with a child? ”
Zhao Paner was choked and couldn't speak, so she could only hold Zhao Yili to change her clothes first.
By the way, take a shower again, the smell of urine all over your body is uncomfortable to think about!
Song Zhen really wanted to do something against the Dingyan Army, but whether it was Zhenzong or Wang Dan, Kou Zhun or Cao Yu, or even Cao Wei. They all think that the time is not ripe at this time, the Great Song Dynasty is not ready for the war of annihilation, at least it is necessary to wait until the Military Intelligence Department has a sufficient understanding of the situation of the Dingyan Army, and the Praetorian Guard has initially formed combat effectiveness, and see how the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard Army is.
You must know that the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty is not only the difficult army, but also the more difficult Liao State.
And this preparation time, at the very least, is measured in years.
Cao Wei finally said to Song Zhen in a telegram: "Your Highness, I want to do this more than anyone else to destroy the Dingyan army and return the land of Hexi to the Han family, but now the time is really not ripe, I can afford to wait, the Great Song Dynasty can also afford to wait, and His Highness can afford to wait!" ”
Song Zhen pinched Cao Wei's telegram and didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed and called him back: "The Lone King will not disappoint the general!" ”
Having said that, although the Great Song Dynasty would not attack the Dingyan army for the time being, it would not make the Dingyan army feel better, and Song Chu motioned to Cao Wei to find a way to send something to the Ganzhou Uighurs to slow down Li Deming's attack on the Ganzhou Uighurs.
But it's a pity that the road of the two sides has been completely blocked by the Dingyan army, and things can't be sent at all!
In the end, Cao Wei decided to let the cavalry be mobilized, and the Song army was turned into a small army, and from time to time went to the territory of the Dingyan army or their grain route to go around, not to scare them but to disgust them, anyway, he could not let the Dingyan army attack the Ganzhou Uighurs with peace of mind.
Song Zhen also personally instructed them to use a new tactic, which can be summed up in 16 words: "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." ”
Killing or wounding the enemy was not the main reason, but the main purpose was to delay their progress in attacking the Uighurs in Ganzhou.
Strike at their food routes and military hearts!
These things don't need Song Zhen to worry about anymore, he only needs to do one thing now, birthday!
It is now the sixth day of the first month of the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, and there are only two days left before Song Zhen's birthday. As Song Zhen's return and the first birthday of adulthood, Zhenzong and Liu E attach great importance to it!
They desperately want to make up for the debt they have owed to Song Chun in the past fifteen years, although they know that Song Chun has actually lived well in the past fifteen years, but they just can't help it!
As early as just after the first lunar month, the palace began to prepare, Song Zhen said, but it was not used, not only Zhenzong and Liu E, but even Zhao Paner and Zhao benefited them, they were also excited!
Of course, Zhao Yingfu just thinks that there is something delicious, as for the concept of birthday, he doesn't have it yet!
Children, there is better food than anything else.
Not only the inner court, but even the outer court, there were officials who wanted to take advantage of the situation to celebrate Song Zhen's birthday and ask Zhenzong to have a good time, but Zhenzong refused!
This time, they just want to have a good meal as a family, and they don't want to be known all over the world.
Time passes little by little, and the eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu is still here...
