The Six Princes sat at the head of the conference table, listening to their subordinates.

"Your Highness, did you summon us here to take the initiative to provoke a war?" Bai Chengzong took the lead. "My Great Xia finally signed a peace agreement with the Zhou Dynasty, why should I break it?"

"My Great Xia and the Zhou Dynasty are feuding, General Bai, please remember this!" Lingnan Governor Ding Xiangdong responded. "Again, it is Your Majesty's will to send troops to the Zhou Dynasty, could it be that General Bai wants to resist the decree?"

it, Liu Mo scolded secretly.

It turned out that when he arrived in Shuzhong, he had to receive the news, a news that everyone did not expect.

The six princes actually wanted to respond to the will of the new emperor of Great Xia, Wei Changjun, and sent troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty.

That's right, this time it's to tear up the peace treaty and take the initiative to attack the Zhou Dynasty!

At this time, Liu Mo really wanted to rush to the front of the six princes and asked him loudly, "Are you crazy?" ”

Wei Changjun's stupid diao asked you to send troops, and you summoned us to fight the vanguard? Brother, Wei Changjun is our enemy! Not a special teammate!

"Resistance? The miscellaneous pieces who killed their father and seized the throne are not worthy of being my Great Xia Emperor! Zhu Min simply scolded.

"Can you say such a big rebellion?" Ding Xiangdong reprimanded with a red face.

"What, is Governor Ding the miscellaneous person, or is it His Highness's person?" Zhu Min said again.

"Brother Zhu, stop talking first!" Liu Mo reminded.

There are some things that everyone knows, but you can't put them on the table.

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that His Majesty is going to go to the Zhou Dynasty, and as courtiers, we can't resist the decree," Liu Mo also put forward his own opinions, "But you can refuse to send troops on the grounds of insufficient food and grass!"

His Majesty's army passed by the fiefdom, held banquets, entertained them, and supplied grain and grass, and it was all right! ”

To put it simply, we will pay and pay to support you to go to war, and the rest, hehe!

"If Your Majesty wins the class and returns to the court, blame it..."

"He's got to do it!" Liu Mo interrupted, "Wouldn't it be beautiful for them to fight and lose both, and I will wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

It would be better if Wei Changjun lost the battle, taking advantage of his illness and killing him.

"Dead lips and cold teeth!" Ding Xiangdong said, "If we can't be in the same boat with Your Majesty, then Daxia will be in danger." ”

"That's right!" Another governor chimed in, "Even if Your Majesty is at fault, it is still my Great Xia Emperor. As a courtier of Great Xia, he should first eliminate prejudices, share the same hatred, and destroy the Zhou Dynasty. ”

The muzzle of the gun is the same as the outside first? This is the opinion of both of them.

In their eyes, the eldest prince has always been a hawk, bent on destroying the Zhou Dynasty. But what they didn't know was that instead of destroying the Zhou Dynasty, the two eldest princes wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the six princes.

"What if Your Majesty's intention was not to send troops to the Zhou Dynasty?" Liu Mo grinned.

"Governor Liu, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Your Majesty will collude with the Zhou Dynasty to harm His Highness? ”

Liu Mo really wanted to answer yes, but he couldn't speak.

The news was told to me by Yang Yizhi, but he is the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is okay to tell this kind of news to the six princes, but how can it be convincing to say it to others.

If I don't know, someone will put me in a position, saying that I colluded with Yang Yizhi!

Hearing this, the sixth prince frowned, "The matter of sending troops, this king has already set his mind." He said, "You have been summoned to consult how to destroy the enemy, and nothing else!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Mo meaningfully, "Liu Mo, what is your good plan?" ”

Father... Do you have to send troops, or winter?

Now that it's come to this, what else can I say?

Adjusting his breathing and holding back his emotions, Liu Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the task we are waiting for?" ”

The Sixth Prince stood up, "Then the map comes!" ”

His generals immediately complied. The Six Princes unfolded the map and flattened it.

"My imperial brother's combat policy is: to take the capital of the Zhou Dynasty as the goal, divide the attack, attack in three ways, and encircle and annihilate the Zhou Dynasty army in one fell swoop." He said slowly.

"After the army left the Ningxi Corridor, the eldest prince led 120,000 troops, all the way to the south, out of the Yajiu Pass. Your Majesty, he led an army of 90,000 to Qinghe and Kuandingkou.

The king needs to first take the important city of the Zhou Dynasty north of the Ningxi Corridor: Hetu City. ”

Hetu City, one of the most important cities in the northern part of the Zhou Dynasty, was strategically similar to the nine-sided town of Great Xia.

In addition to defending against the Great Xia Dynasty, it also had another purpose, to defend the extreme north of the Zhou Dynasty.

And about the land of the far north, first of all, strictly speaking, it belongs to the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. The problem is that there is a region between the northern border and the Zhou dynasty called the Neck Valley, which is covered by wetlands and swamps.

In Neck, you can find ridiculously large swamp flowers, lizards, and lots of snakes. The dense trees are soaked in the rotten swamp all year round, and a curtain-like fungus plant hangs from the branches. The only thing you can't find is the town.

Legend has it that two hundred years ago, when a coup d'état occurred in the Zhou Dynasty, the defeated King Smiling led his subordinates through the neck and defeated the aborigines of the north, and then settled in the north.

After this, the descendants of the Xiao family, who were also descendants of the Xiao family, sent some "warriors" to cross the neck again and bow down to the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. But the exchange between the two places is also limited to this.

For 200 years, there have always been many necked people who have come out of the swamp and raided the border.

For this reason, the Zhou Dynasty had to send men to help defend the north.

On the other hand, the reason why Great Xia wanted the six princes to attack Hetu.

First of all, the source of the Qing River in the Zhou Dynasty was in the north, and the capture of Hetu City would ensure that the water source would not be polluted by poisoning.

The second is to prevent the back road from being cut off. The Ningxi Corridor is hilly and dangerous, and is the only way to cross the two countries. If Hetu in the north cannot be taken, it is very likely that the supply lines and back routes will be cut off.

Finally, this place can also be used as the first supply point of the Great Xia army in the Zhou Dynasty, which can be attacked and defended.

But the problem also comes, this place is important, but it is far away from the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is not a metropolis. Even if the Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, then there is no credit to speak of.

To explain simply, Wei Changjun gave a difficult bone to gnaw, and there was no benefit or credit for winning it.

Without waiting for Liu Mo to speak, the sixth prince said again: "Liu Mo, the task given to you by this king is to take Yongxing City." ”

Yongxing City: Strictly speaking, it is the first metropolis on the border of the Zhou Dynasty.

"You won't meet the main force of the Zhou Dynasty." The sixth prince said, "The two royal brothers of this king will go south after the 200,000 troops pass through the Ningxi Corridor, and the Zhou Dynasty will not be stupid enough to deploy a large army in Yongxing." ”

Indeed, the geographical location of Yongxing City was not enough for the Zhou Dynasty to waste troops.

Over the past hundred years, Daxia has made several expeditions to the Zhou Dynasty, all of which first captured Yongxing as a stronghold.

There seems to be a tacit understanding between the two sides, but whenever the Great Xia invades, the Zhou Dynasty always gives up Yongxing and retreats to Xuzhou Mansion.

The reason for this is also simple, to stretch the supply line of Changxia and take advantage of the natural danger in Xuzhou to resist the enemy.

After listening to the order of the six princes, Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh, "In other words, you want us to take down two pieces of chicken ribs?" ”
