No, no, no, after all, Gao Zhang is the successor of the official family, and the middleman between the official family and Gao Zhang.
It must be Yang Jian, who is regarded as the first confidant of the official family.
At this moment, the white-faced and beardless Yang Jian's sharp voice became a bit more sinister and vicious.
"The official family has an oracle, anyone who dares to reveal the relationship between the official family and Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan's master and apprentice..."
Seeing Liang Shicheng, whose face instantly turned deathly gray and shaking his head repeatedly, Yang Jian patted Liang Shicheng on the shoulder with a smile.
"If you can do well, maybe Xiao Gao, the champion, will be happy and want to accept a disciple, and maybe you will have the opportunity to become one of the official's disciples..."
One of the god's disciples, he can be regarded as the second closest confidant to the official family.
Liang Shicheng was complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.
From the moment the official revealed Gao Zhang's identity to him, Liang Shicheng already understood that he had completely lost in this life.
He couldn't say that in his future, he would have to succumb to Gao Zhang and work hard for him.
Gao Zhang naturally knew nothing about everything that happened in the palace. When Gao Zhang returned to the palace, he had already started working behind closed doors and spent a whole day.
Only then did a first draft of a plan for conquering Xixia be prepared. The next day, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Qi and Yang Zhen were dragged by Fang La to his house for a banquet.
"It's not like we have a rest tomorrow. It won't be too late for us to get together again in two days. Why do we have to do it today?"
As soon as Yao Pingzhong said this, the other two people also took it seriously. After all, they are all generals, and what they pay attention to when eating and drinking is to be happy and comfortable.
If I still have to be on duty the next day, how can I be happy if I don’t dare to drink too much?
Seeing these three guys like this, Fang La shook his head helplessly, and whispered something into the sharp-headed ear of Yao Pingzhong.
Yao Pingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in disbelief when he saw Fang La nodding with determination.
"In that case, it doesn't hurt for us to go there."
"..." Yang Zhen and Liu Qi looked at this guy in confusion. He was the one who said he couldn't go, and he was the one who decided to go. What kind of nonsense is this?
Fortunately, after Fang La came up to the two of them and muttered again, Yang and Liu's eyes gleamed, and they wished they could fly to Fang La's house now.
#####
"The last general has seen Duke Zhuangyuan..." In Fang La's mansion, these powerful generals of the Song Dynasty army all saluted Gao Zhang respectfully.
I also noticed that Lu Qian, Gao Zhang's former personal attendant, had been missing for a long time, but he actually appeared here today, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
But what surprised everyone the most was that the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Yaban, was also here at the moment, standing honestly behind Gao Zhang as if he was following him personally.
This immediately made the expressions on the faces of the heroes of the Song Dynasty somewhat uncomfortable. After all, not everyone was willing to deal with these guys.
"Brothers, don't be too polite. I have troubled my uncle to invite a few brothers here today because of the affairs of Xixia."
"Everyone should also know that this year Xixia encountered a snow disaster that has not been seen in decades and affected a wide range of areas."
"In Xixia over the years, because a large amount of arable land has been used to grow cotton, Xixia's grain reserves are no longer much."
"Encountering such a major disaster will inevitably lead to a major crisis in Xixia..."
Gao Zhang pointed to a small sand table placed in the room. Although it was only about ten feet square, it was far inferior to the sand table in the palace.
But it is made very lifelike and very intuitive.
After Gao Zhang explained the situation in Xixia, he naturally talked about the officials' preparations to send him to Shaanxi Road to unite the army and conduct strategy and appeasement.
"... I have thought about it a lot and drafted a plan. I would also like to ask all my brothers to comment on my plan and see if it is possible to implement it."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Adban had already picked up the plans that were lying aside and distributed them to the generals who came here.
Seeing the four of them immersed themselves in reading the plan carefully, Gao Zhang calmly sat down behind the case and spoke unhurriedly.
"No matter what kind of difficult questions you have, you can ask them, and I will be responsible for answering them."
The first person to ask the question was the hasty-tempered Yao Pingzhong who spoke immediately.
"Master Zhuangyuan, this, this seems to be too exaggerated, right? Once the winter comes, the Lingzhou River will indeed be very strong after freezing, but it is an ice surface, and it is difficult for people and horses to move..."
"My little brother has a way to solve this problem."
Gao Zhang showed a calm smile to everyone present, picked up a few drawings from the desk, and motioned to Lu Qian to dispatch them.
"These are some tools I made. These tools have been prototyped and can move quickly on snow and ice."
"As for the horses, you can wrap the horses' hooves with special cotton covers, which will allow the horses to run freely on the ice..."
“In addition, if we want to go deep behind enemy lines, we must always be alert to the surrounding situation and detect the enemy in advance.
For this reason, I have prepared something, and I can show it to everyone now..."
Gao Zhang turned his head and looked at Fu'an, who had been standing in front of a wooden box with a very loyal and brave expression.
Fu'an then squatted down and opened the wooden box, took out several metal cylinders wrapped in leather, and distributed them to their hands.
Fu An introduced the equipment with a sense of superiority while distributing the equipment.
"This thing is called a telescope, and it is a weapon invented by my young master to detect enemies."
The Imperial City Secretary Zhao Yaban on the side smiled and proudly introduced this good thing.
"This thing has been tested repeatedly, and it can allow people to clearly see rabbit-sized animals within a range of twenty miles."
"..." After everyone got this telescope and heard Zhao Aban's introduction, they were really shocked.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early in the day, these heroes of the Song Dynasty picked up these telescopes and walked around on the roof.
After coming down, the extremely shocked expressions on each of their faces, and the way they looked at Gao Zhang, were like a few country bumpkins watching an immortal performing magic tricks.
Among the powerful men present, Yang Zhen, the oldest, steady and steady man, played with the telescope fondly and once again raised a difficult question.
"If we can detect the enemy first and have tools to travel freely on the ice, it is indeed possible to defeat Xixia."
"But Duke Zhuangyuan, it will not be easy to destroy Xingqing Mansion. Unless we, the Song Dynasty border officials, can contain the Xixia armies for at least more than a month.
Moreover, if we directly insert troops into Xingqing Mansion, we need to carry a large number of siege weapons, and we must also be prepared for reinforcements from the Xixia regions that may arrive at any time..."
"Everyone, Duke Zhuangyuan has already solved this problem."
"..."
