"I'm old and immortal. I'm still alive now. Please cause trouble for me!"
The empress dropped a memorial on the dragon table. The empress in her phoenix robe stood up like a fire phoenix, and stood up lazily, "Inform all officials at home who are second-grade and above to hold a meeting!"
As soon as the words fell, several figures quickly walked out of the shadows in the corner, crossed the gate of Fengluan Hall, and ran directly towards the outside of the palace.
"How did the Song Dynasty know?"
The empress turned around and looked at Lao Pu who was waiting at the side.
The Song Dynasty took action!
The key is that the Song Dynasty is really serious now.
During the war against the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty sent out the Yue Family Army, but the leader was only the second-generation general Yue Yun.
The Yue Family Army is quite elite, and Field Marshal Yue Yun is also very capable. However, compared to the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Yue Yun is still less experienced and seasoned. However, Yue Yun should only defend, defend according to what is said, and not be greedy. If you don't occupy it, you will have the Yue Family Army, an elite soldier from hundreds of battles, as a screen, and rely on the financial and material resources of the Song Dynasty. The problem is not that big. Even if you suffer a loss, doesn't Yue Yun still occupy Renhe?
But this will be different!
Prime Minister Li Gang, commanding 120,000 Xuanzong's forbidden troops, left Luoyang to take charge of Zuo Fengyi.
Han Shizhong, a seventy-year-old general, led 80,000 Yue family troops from Hongnong into Hedong County, and headed east to intimidate Wu Dynasty's Wei County and Qinghe State.
Generalissimo Yue Fei and Northwest Zong Rengui, together with their family army, Hehuang Army, Weiguo Army, and Luoshui Navy, totaling 130,000 people, gathered at several major ferries.
Three hundred thousand elite troops and more than half a million support personnel were mobilized successively. It was said that a million-strong army pressed into the Yellow River line.
The scale, the number of elites, and the ability of the commander are no less than those forty years ago, and the time chosen is mid-autumn. It is obvious that they want to fight a war of attrition with the Wu Dynasty, compete for national strength, and waste their heritage.
"I don't know!" Lao Pu shook his head, "The Imperial City Division is quite capable. Some of the moves may have taken more than a hundred years. We didn't detect them at first, but it's even harder now!"
The Song Dynasty was not always cowardly. It was the first dynasty established after the Tang Dynasty. Most of the southern part of Bingzhou, Weijun in Jizhou, and Qinghe were also occupied and ruled by the Song Dynasty, leaving deep traces. It is simply unrealistic for the Documents Division to completely clean up the Imperial City Division’s footprints.
In addition, no matter how long the border between the two countries is, there are countless smuggling and exchanges. 100% prevention is just a dream.
"However, the old slave feels that the news should not have been revealed. This is just a good plan of the Song Dynasty. After all, the scale and strength of the mobilization have been noticed by the Records Department. What the Song Dynasty did came slowly, without any rush!"
There were people in the Song Dynasty who were rich and huge. The more so, the clearer the trajectory of everything. It is impossible to truly dispatch a million-strong army without warning.
The Wu Dynasty has already been on guard against this, and it is difficult to determine just because of the time.
"What do you mean, are they planning to eat us to death?" the empress' jade face was cold.
Compared with the leakage of news, this kind of slow layout and accumulation of small trends to turn a large trend into a big trend is the most unacceptable.
Even if this battlefield is postponed until next year, it will be better than the outbreak this autumn.
The key is, how dare the Song Dynasty?
Is it possible that the current deterrent from the Ming Dynasty and the pressure from the Wu Dynasty are not enough?
War begins on two fronts!
It's a war on two fronts again, first the Ming Dynasty, then the Wu Dynasty, and now the Song Dynasty, but when it's Kuang's turn, it still belongs to the Song Dynasty!
On the two fronts of the Ming Dynasty, the mobs in Lianghuai and Huaihe were not only destructive, but also unorganized and undisciplined. It was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
The Wu Dynasty did the same to the Jin Kingdom. It was just a problem of ringworm.
But the Song Dynasty started a war on two fronts. It seemed that one was defending and the other was attacking, but the one he was fighting was the Ming Dynasty and the other was the Wu Dynasty. Where did the Song people have the courage?
"Perhaps, he went crazy before he died!" Lao Pu was helpless, and finally found an explanation that seemed to be an explanation.
"snort!"
"You're going crazy when you're dying, aren't you? You really think I'm easy to bully, aren't you?"
The army of the Ming Dynasty is about to invade your home. Instead of going crazy, the people of Song Dynasty come to attack the Wu Dynasty. Can’t the empress accept this madness?
Hexi was important to the Song Dynasty, but was the Wu Dynasty's external deterrence false?
Or is it that the people of the Song Dynasty looked down upon her as the empress and thought that she, a woman, would be as weak as the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom?
…
"I know, prepare to enter the palace!"
The empress received the news, but why didn't Shang Rong receive it? After folding the notice in his hand, Shang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "How dare the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid they don't understand our eldest princess!"
"If you treat the princess as Queen Xiao, you will suffer a lot?" Zhang He said with a bitter smile.
Since the founding of the Wu Dynasty and the Liao State, they have always been strong externally. If there is any damage, no matter whether the strategy requires it or not, tactical retaliation will be reciprocal. Otherwise, a hundred years of peace will not be achieved.
But this kind of strong character and strong style was lost by a woman thirty years ago, that is the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom. For this Empress Dowager Xiao who lost the character of the Liao Kingdom, not to mention the shamelessness of a warrior, the eldest princess He even scolded her as a scum among women.
Whatever the Song Dynasty is doing now, it somewhat ignores the eldest princess.
"People may still think about using power to suppress others and coerce themselves. Thirty years ago, the Song Dynasty single-handedly reduced the Liao Sui Dynasty currency from three million taels per year to five hundred thousand taels. Three million taels was Yearly coins, five hundred thousand taels...reward?" Shang Rong sneered.
Before Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom came to power, the Empress Dowager wanted to stabilize her internal affairs and support the young emperor's rise to power, but she was really timid externally.
At that time, the Song Dynasty's military, which gathered three military greats: Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Zong Rengui, also reached its peak.
The First World War brought the flames of war into the territory of the Liao Kingdom. In less than three months, four important cities were destroyed, more than 30 county towns were occupied, and 60,000 Liao people were buried.
Everyone felt that the people of Song Dynasty had changed and risen, but in the end, the people of Song Dynasty still gave them the Sui coins.
For a time, there were countless ridicules from all over Kyushu.
But gradually some people discovered that the taste of the coins given by Ren in the Song Dynasty had changed. It was no longer a compensation for ceding land, but a feeling of reward from a superior. In addition, some scholars in the Song Dynasty and literati advocated exporting to the outside world, and the ridicule continued. Gives a feeling of constipation.
When it was their turn to play, it was the Song people who knew how to play. The Liao people thought they were getting a fig leaf, but they didn't expect the cloth to stink like that.
If famine had not broken out among the Liao people at that time, do you think the Liao Kingdom would have had a fight with the Song Dynasty?
"Fang Fang said that the joy of success will make people like to take shortcuts. What if..." Zhang He said with a bitter smile.
"Yeah, what if?"
The former prince's sharp edge overshadowed everyone, and the eldest princess was unwilling to show her face. Very few people truly understood the empress's character and methods.
But as old people who watched the prince and the eldest princess grow up, how could Shang Rong and the others not know that when he came to power, he was known as the female prime minister, established the Red Detachment of Women, and now he was killing people five years ago. Without these With the blessing of factors, who will get the eldest princess in the throne? Do you really think that the princes of the Wu Dynasty royal family are vegetarians?
"Let's go, don't let the eldest princess wait for us. Not to mention that the eldest princess wants to kill a wave of Song people's majesty, I also want to show my sword!"
Zhang He knew very well that if this would destroy the Song Dynasty in Hexi, the Wu Dynasty would not be able to develop peacefully.
In this age where careerists are everywhere, if you want to find peace, you can only hit with one punch to avoid being hit by hundreds of punches.
