Chapter 47: Dispute
"Great Song Tianzi, did you promise to send troops to reinforce Great Xia?"
Li Weiming couldn't help but be stunned and blurted out.
This Zhao Hong said a lot, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't want to be numb, what does it mean?
"Your Majesty, be careful! Be careful! ”
Zhao Hong has not yet expressed his position, and Cui He hurriedly stopped it, insisting as always.
"Your Majesty, Tatar is like a tiger and wolf, my Great Song Dynasty is too weak to make peace with Western Xia, otherwise it will invite disaster!"
Gao Dingzi's face was also flushed, and he stopped loudly.
The emperor is young and fleshed, and this is a good thing. But if it's too reckless and too impulsive, it's a second offense.
The eyes of the ministers looked at Zhao Hong together. Everyone wants to know what choice this ambitious Song Tianzi will make.
"Cui Qing, Gao Qing, all the Qing families, send troops to reinforce Great Xia, I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say much."
Zhao Hong softly stopped Cui He and Gao Dingzi, raised his head, and said:
"Xia and Song are of the same species, and I am naturally happy to be able to form an ally. I just don't know what the princess thinks? If the princess wants to go back, I will not stop me, and I will send troops as usual. ”
Thinking about it carefully, the matter of kissing seems to be Wan Yanchun's prank. But he really doesn't want to see the other party "self-cutting" and disappear.
A delicate beauty, with long legs, suddenly became a cold corpse, which was too cruel and too bad for the scenery.
"Li Weiming thanked the Great Song Emperor! Li Weiming is willing to stay and serve the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and never lose! ”
Li Weiming stood up and bowed with a red face.
The wood has been completed, and then return to Western Xia, what is it? Is it a return?
Isn't that a joke?
From Emperor Song's eyes, she could feel that Emperor Song seemed to be ...... to her Intentionally.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Shichang stood up and thanked him, and his expression finally relaxed.
Cui He and Gao Dingzi's faces were full of helplessness, and they both shook their heads unwillingly and no longer obstructed.
The emperor has already made up his mind, and it is useless to say more. Looking at the emperor's meaning, it seemed that there was something else, but they wanted to know, how would the emperor convince them next?
"Your Majesty, the old minister is brave, how does Your Majesty plan to send troops to save me Daxia? When to send troops? ”
The old country is in dire straits, Luo Shichang no longer hesitated and went straight to the point.
Zhao Hong is waiting for him here, and he must already have some plans.
All the ministers in the hall looked at Zhao Hong again. They all want to hear if this ambitious young emperor really has a good idea?
"Luo Xianggong, I tell you the truth, with the strength of the Tatar army today, the destruction of the country in Great Xia is already unstoppable. If the Emperor of Great Xia is willing to lead his people to the south, I am willing to provide a place to settle in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the people of Great Xia can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Zhao Hong's words had actually been discussed with Luo Shichang, but all the ministers in the hall were stunned.
Since the emperor thought that Western Xia was not saved, why did he send troops to rescue? Isn't that a paradox?
"Emperor Song, do you want to stay out of the matter and sit back and ignore the life and death of Great Xia?"
Li Weiming's face was solemn, and he said loudly with a straight face.
This Emperor Song, east and west, what do you want?
How do you feel that you can't keep up with the rhythm of the other party.
Cui He's face was calm, he stroked his beard, looked at Zhao Hong, and said nothing.
Emperor, you can't just have these brushes, right?
Guo Zhengsun, Gao Dingzi and other Wenchen had ugly faces and were silent.
Yu Jue, Cao Youwen and other generals looked at Zhao Hong, waiting for his reaction.
"Princess, don't make a mistake!"
Luo Shichang hurriedly stood up and pleaded:
"Your Majesty, the Tatar army is devastated, and the destruction of the Great Xia is imminent. As a son of Great Xia, how can he abandon the land of his ancestors and the people of Great Xia and flee, how is this different from beasts? Your Majesty's generation of Holy Monarchs, I hope to send reinforcements as soon as possible to save Great Xia! ”
Luo Shichang knelt on the ground, kowtowed to his head, and burst into tears.
When the country was ruined and his family was ruined, he traveled thousands of miles, fighting wits and strength, and he was already exhausted and overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, save Great Xia! Li Weiming is a cow and a horse, and in the next life, he will make a grass ring and repay the kindness of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Princess Li Weiming of Anguo also stood up, knelt down in front of Zhao Hong, and touched the ground with her head.
"What is this, get up."
Zhao Hong walked down and personally helped Luo Shichang and the others up. When he picked up Li Weiming, he smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a flutter.
Especially the girl's palms are smooth and greasy, and her ten fingers are smooth and slender, which makes him even more ape-like, and he is reluctant to let go for a while.
The two looked at each other subconsciously, Zhao Hong's eyes were hot, and Li Weiming immediately blushed and quickly withdrew his hand.
This Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is good at everything, but this emotion seems to be too rich.
Zhao Hong laughed awkwardly and turned back to his seat.
"Luo Xianggong, princess, I won't hide it from you, the Tatar army is attacking the city in Hexi, and it will be at least a month before our army mobilizes troops and horses and prepares heavy grain and grass. From Lizhou to Hexi, even the nearest Liangzhou, there are 1,800 miles. The army carried heavy grain and grass, marched only thirty or forty miles in one day, and arrived in Liangzhou, two and a half months later. By that time, the Tatar army, I am afraid, would have already occupied the land west of the river. ”
Zhao Hong said eloquently, Luo Shichang and the group of Song Chen's eyes widened. Some ministers had a smile on their faces, and they couldn't help but secretly admire it in their hearts.
The emperor is eating and wiping it clean, or he will not admit it.
"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, what do you mean by this? Are you reluctant to send troops? ”
Luo Shichang's face was like ashes, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"Luo Xianggong, princess, even if I lead all the elite soldiers in Sichuan to the rescue of Great Xia, it will only be forty or fifty thousand. With the momentum of a Tatar army of 100,000, a field duel, is my Great Song Border Army their opponent? ”
Zhao Hong's big truth made Luo Shichang and Li Weiming, including all Song Chen, full of suspicion.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"
Luo Shichang and Li Weiming looked at each other, and Luo Shichang asked suspiciously.
Looking at Zhao Hong's meaning, is he going to send troops to rescue?
Zhao Hong's words and sending troops to save Xia seemed ambiguous. The Song ministers in the hall looked relaxed, but the envoys of the Western Xia had ugly faces.
Luo Shichang was about to pick out the topic, but Zhao Hong had already spoken.
"Luo Xianggong, the Tatar army is in full swing, and no one in the world is invincible. To save Great Xia, you need to kill and injure the other party by surprise at the right time, so that the other party is frightened. Of course, some luck is also needed. ”
Thinking of the details of the Mongol destruction of Western Xia in history, Zhao Hong thought carefully and made a decision.
Historically, Genghis Khan died of illness in Liupan Mountain, and he did not mourn secretly, and when the Tangut people surrendered, they killed on a large scale, and the Tangut civilization was drowned in the long river of history.
The crux of this war was that when the Tangut surrendered, they did not know that Genghis Khan was dead. Another reason is the fall of Lingzhou City, the southern barrier of Zhongxing Mansion.
Lingzhou City, as the military center of Western Xia, if it could hold out for a while longer, I am afraid that the Mongols themselves would have to retreat.
"Your Majesty, please speak up."
Luo Shichang couldn't help but asked.
Until now, he didn't understand what Zhao Hong meant, and he became more and more confused.
"Your Majesty, be careful! Be careful! ”
Cui lost no time in reminding him on the side.
"Your Majesty, since I am weak, I should not be strong. Acting arbitrarily and recklessly, not only did it go in vain, but it did not benefit the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Gao Dingzi spoke with a dark face, still very polite.
"Luo Xianggong, princess, what I mean, the land west of the river is already in the pocket of the Tatar army, even if I want to save it, I'm afraid it's too late."
Zhao Hong's words made everyone in the hall nod yes.
It will take two or three months just to send troops. So long, enough time for Tatar to level the land west of the river.
"Your Majesty means that you can only save the Land of the Spirit?"
Li Weiming's face was pale, and she had already roughly understood what Zhao Hong meant.
All the ministers were stunned. It seems that the emperor had his own decision to reinforce Western Xia.
The princess said very much. The only things I can save are Lingzhou and Zhongxingfu. As for the rest of Great Xia, I am afraid that before I send reinforcements, it is already in the Tatar bag, and I can't do anything about it. ”
Zhao Hong glanced at Li Weiming appreciatively, and his eyes moved to Yu Jue, who had never spoken in the hall.
"Yu Jue, I came to ask you, how long will it take for you to mobilize the dead soldiers in the army and prepare firearms and ammunition?"
Now that it has been decided, Zhao Hong no longer hesitates.
"Back to Your Majesty, 10,000 soldiers are easy to gather, mainly firearms and ammunition, and firearms alone will take two or three months to prepare. When the troops are dispatched, I'm afraid it will take until June! ”
Yu Jue clenched his fists and solemnly replied.
"June!"
Luo Shichang glanced at Yu Jue in disappointment, and then spoke cautiously.
"Your Majesty, 10,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket, and it won't help. Can you ......?"
"Luo Xianggong, how many soldiers do you have in Lingzhou City?"
Luo Shichang's words were unceremoniously interrupted by Zhao Hong.
This whitebeard, there are just too many problems.
"Back to Your Majesty, Lingzhou City originally had 50,000 soldiers, but it has been fighting with Jinmeng for many years, and now there are about 20,000 soldiers."
Luo Shichang was furious in his heart, and said with a sigh of relief.
Lingzhou garrison general Li Deren said that there were 20,000 defenders, but in fact, even he didn't confirm how many soldiers were available in Lingzhou City.
Eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers, the world is as black as a crow, and Lingzhou City is no exception.
"Luo Xianggong, it's not that I am boasting, my 10,000 soldiers can be tens of thousands of Tatar troops. With them, Lingzhou City can't be broken. If Lingzhou City can't be broken, Zhongxing Mansion will be safe and sound. One more soldier will have one more person to eat. Maybe you don't understand it now, but then you will understand it completely. ”
Zhao Hong looked at Luo Shichang with a deep meaning, and there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
Could it be that he created an epoch-making firearm that was useless?
He still doesn't believe in this evil.
"Your Majesty is saying that Lingzhou City is a protracted and vicious battle, and there are too many people who go, and it is also a consumption of grain and grass. When the summer heat of the coming year is hot, His Majesty will bring a large army to reinforce him. ”
Li Weiming regained his composure and said slowly.
Zhao Hong nodded lightly and smiled slightly, expressing acquiescence.
A smart and beautiful woman is more pleasant than a spring breeze.
Li Weiming's face turned red again.
