After getting the news that Li Kui's troops were besieging Qingtang City, the entire northwest took action.

Compared with the northwest, the capital got the news four or five days later.

After the post station sent the news to the capital, Zhang Dian of the Metropolitan Hall felt strange and suspicious, but Li Qingchen of the Privy Council chose to believe it. After all, this is the credit of the Privy Council, and it is an achievement that can make the capital lose face.

There is just a problem, Li Kui has 10,000 people in his hands, how can he besiege Qingtang City?

Zhang Dian has a solemn face in the Dushitang these days, he found that it was a mistake to let An Tao go to Qin Fenglu, and he just took office to confirm Cai Jing's guilt, which is not counted, and what annoyed him even more was that An Tao not only did not stop, but also launched an attack on Qingtang.

This made Zhang Dian, who had always cared very much about power, feel resentful that someone had stolen the heirloom. In case Li Kui really defeated Qingtang City that year, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble for Zhang Dian. The claws that he had managed to reach for the Privy Council were about to be chopped off.

Don't look at Zhang Dun on the surface decisive, but in the distribution of power, he has always been very hesitant.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that Li Qingchen had been shaking recently.

It's just that the little emperor in the palace hasn't expressed his position yet, which gives Zhang Dian a chance to ease. He hurriedly sent someone to Huanqing Road to contact Zhang Qi, hoping to get more authentic and reliable news.

But before the people he sent out of the capital, the eunuchs summoned by the emperor were waiting outside his mansion.

Vertical arch hall.

In the empty hall, there was only the shadow of the little emperor Zhao Xu walking back and forth, and around the main hall, the eunuchs and warriors standing like wooden people. muttered back and forth: "Renjie is too reliable, I knew it was so easy to use, I should have ordered him to be the champion in the first place and sent him to the northwest to be the governor!" ”

Hao Sui didn't dare to say a word on the side, and ordered the champion to go to the northwest, is this a good distribution?

The champion of the Great Song Dynasty, who went to the northwest to become an official?

Zhao Xu is very young, and because he is young, there will be a problem that young people can't bear it. Of course, under the education of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, the little emperor Zhao Xu was already a qualified emperor, and he was able to properly hide his thoughts, even in front of the treacherous and cunning courtiers, it was difficult for people to distinguish them.

But this is the normal situation.

The reason why Zhao Xu set the name of the first era after his pro-government was 'Shao Sheng', Shao, Ji Ye, Sheng, the first emperor Shenzong. He named the first year of his pro-government as Shaosheng to tell the world that he wanted to continue the unfinished business of Shenzong. And the cause of the Divine Sect is divided into two? One of them is a change? The other is to reclaim the land of the river. The first failed, and the second nominally succeeded? In fact, it also failed.

Actually, in the era of the Divine Sect? Although the land of Hehuang was included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

But it was not included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in a real sense. Wang Shao only had the general Zampu, that is, the lord of the country, who blindly recruited prisoners? However, although the blind expedition is the lord of the country, the area and population under its control are limited. The most powerful in Qingtang is not the blind expedition of the lord of the country? It's another person, Dong Yu.

And the territory that the Great Song Dynasty fought down? Most of them were captured from the Tangut people, not from the Qingtang people.

Therefore, when the Great Song Dynasty penetrated its forces into the hinterland of the Hehuang Land, Qingtang's resistance became fierce. The first to bear the brunt was naturally Dong Yu and the Western Xia to resist the Great Song Dynasty.

More than twenty years after that? Although the Great Song Dynasty garrisoned Qingtang? But in fact, not only did it not complete the annexation of the land of Hehuang, but it cost a lot of troops on Qinfeng Road to control the grassland that was defeated.

This also laid the groundwork for the later loss of the land of the river.

Especially, Wang Shao recovered the land of Hehuang? Not only did it not increase the strength of the Great Song Dynasty's army, but the war horses were even more invisible? On the contrary, it spent a huge amount of military money and was dragged to the land of the river. It has also become an aspect of the conservatives' attack on the law. Because Wang Shao instigated Emperor Shenzong to recover the land of Hehuang? Wang Anshi is a strong supporter.

But even so, recovering the land of Hehuang was considered by Zhao Xu to be one of his father's greatest achievements. After all, although Emperor Shenzong implemented the law change? But even he himself admitted defeat? This is an indisputable fact. And the land of the river to conquer? has undoubtedly become the only fig leaf for Shenzong in this life. After all, the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, in all dynasties, as long as he is not the founding emperor, he can be regarded as the master of Zhongxing.

This is a high evaluation for any emperor.

After Zhao Xu became in power, the first target was not actually Western Xia, but Qingtang.

At the beginning of his pro-government, he was almost stupid by the attack of Western Xia, if it wasn't for Li Kui's victory in the first battle of Jinmingzhai, and then went to Western Xia to help Li Bingqian to the position of the lord of the country, and launched a coup d'état in Western Xia. After all, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia began to fight during the Renzong period, fought for decades, and not only did not grow up, but were repeatedly humiliated by the Western Xia. Coupled with the alliance between Qingtang and Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty often could not let go of its hands and feet in the northwest.

Fortunately, with Li Kui, all this was nipped in the bud.

This made Da Song breathe.

To Zhao Xu's surprise, only a year later, Qingtang attacked. Although Qingtang's threat to the Great Song Dynasty could not be compared with that of Western Xia, Qin Fenglu's soldiers and horses were also difficult to parry.

It's just an An Tao, plus a Li Kui, who has only been on Qin Feng Road for a few days, and he has been given exciting news.

Qingtang City is besieged?

Not long before, Qingtang's soldiers and horses had besieged Qinzhou. In a blink of an eye, Qingtang's lair was besieged, which is really a bit unbelievable.

But the news came from Li Kui, and there was Tong Guan's proof, Zhao Xu would not suspect that Tong Guan had the courage to lie to him.

Then the news [Pen Fun Island www.biqudao.xyz] must be true.

He didn't expect that he was only one step away from the great achievements of his father, Emperor Shenzong. Will this settle him down?

He has even prepared a whole set of methods, asking people to give people, asking for money to give money, as long as Qingtang is knocked down, any losses and costs Zhao Xu is willing to bear.

"Chen Zhangdun visits the official family!"

"The ministers will meet the officials."

"Zhu Aiqing is flat!" Zhao Xu couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and when he looked at Zhang Dan, a meaning was expressed in his eyes, and Dushitang wanted to cooperate.

However, as if deliberately singing the opposite, Zhang Dian opened his mouth to doubt the military situation: "Official, the minister thinks that at this time he needs to think about the long term. Although the Fei Lian army is good at fighting, it is not enough to regain the lost territory one after another in less than two months and besiege Qingtang City. The minister thought that he would wait for the war report to reach the capital before making plans. ”

"It's true, there's no doubt about it, I just want to know how the Doshido is going to support it!"

Any suspicion, opposition, Zhao Xu at this moment Zhao Xu could not listen, as soon as Zhao Xu opened his mouth, he set the tone for this temporary court meeting, unconditionally supported Li Kui, unconditionally supported An Tao, unconditionally supported Qin Fenglu to take Qingtang City before the winter came. Now that Li Kui and An Tao have spread the news to the capital, it is obvious that it is difficult to break through Qingtang City by relying on Qin Fenglu's strength alone.

However, he also knew that the news he got in Zhang Kui's hands was not enough for Zhang Dian to fully believe it, so he simply didn't hide it, and said to Hao Sui: "Go, bring An Tao and Li Kui's recitals and show them to you Aiqing." ”

Zhang Dian knew that this was very unfavorable to him, but after seeing the twists and turns, he still gasped, Li Kui with 3,000 people dared to attack Delanzhou, which had 15,000 people.

and let him fight down, is it so nonsense?

In addition, after the temple on the grassland was persuaded by him, he killed the Qingtang nobles and supported the grassland slaves, and really let Li Kui pull up tens of thousands of troops and besiege Qingtang City.

But it is still far from enough to break through Qingtang City, and Li Kui needs reinforcements.

Seeing this, Zhang Dian suddenly had a plan, bowed down and complimented the emperor for a while, and said like a child: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on his immortal deeds." ”

Zhao Xu smiled proudly, waved his hand and said, "Qingtang is not broken, I don't dare to say anything." ”

He pondered that the title of the Lord of Zhongxing was going to fall from his grandfather's hand to his head, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

But Zhang Dan's next sentence made him fall into an ice cave: "Your Majesty, but far water can't quench your thirst, and the Central Plains can't escort grain, grass and weapons, and you can't do it in two months." ”

"How is this possible?" Zhao Xu felt that Zhang Xuan was fooling him, so he turned to look at Li Qingchen and asked, "Li Qing, if you go all out to escort you, can you transport it to the front line within a month?" ”

Li Qingchen suffered a loss because he was very conceited, and at the same time he was also very proud, knowing that Zhang Dian dug a pit for him to jump, but he just didn't want to open his eyes and say nonsense, and deliberately coaxed the emperor, but would tell the truth.

Li Qingchen said: "Your Majesty, two months is the fastest time, if there is a delay on the road, the capital will go to Qingtang, and two and a half months will be required." Fortunately, the supplies can be shipped from Jingzhao Mansion, which should be faster. However, the army had to be requisitioned from the Central Plains, and the Western Army was no longer able to draw troops. ”

Isn't it the army?

Zhao Xu didn't think about it and said, "There are no troops to send in the northwest, so let Jingying go." ”

Xing Shu then reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, the household department can't come up with enough money. ”

"No money, no people, how can we talk about reinforcements?"

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded, he thought he was being targeted. Looking at Xing Shu's eyes getting colder and colder, this guy dared to hinder himself from becoming the Great Song Mingjun, his heart was punishable!
