The first snow has begun to fall in Xingqing Mansion, and this year’s winter has come earlier than usual.
Li Yuanhao received a secret letter from his subordinates, which openly pointed out that Zhang Yuan was preparing to betray him, and deceived himself into an ambush by the Song people in the next battle as a surrender to the Song Dynasty.
Li Yuanhao, who received the secret letter, didn't believe it at first, but this was not the first time he heard such talk of rebellion. Now everyone in Xixia knew that Zhang Yuan was going to rebel, so he couldn't help but worry.
In the end, Li Yuanhao could only tentatively ask Zhang Yuandao: "Now that we have reached a mutual non-aggression alliance with the Liao Kingdom, the only one left is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty occupies the southeast and the people are rich and rich. It is not something that our weak national power can compete with. The national master's intention How about the next one?"
This is a gift proposition.
Li Yuanhao expected that if Zhang Yuan agreed to his request for peace today, it would mean that Zhang Yuan was still loyal and reliable. If he still demanded that he fight to the end, there would be a problem!
How could Zhang Yuan, as Zhongshu Ling, the Imperial Preceptor of Xixia, not know that the people's livelihood in Xixia was in decline and the national treasury was empty, and the surrounding areas were in dire straits due to lack of military supplies. Previous years were already considered disaster years, and this year is even more fatal! The early winter snow has caused all the pastures in the north to disappear. Countless cattle, sheep, and horses have froze to death and starved to death. If this battle continues, the country will be destroyed even faster!
But once the peace talks between the two countries, his value as a national teacher will disappear, and his desire to destroy the Song Dynasty will never be realized. Xixia's public opinion is not justice to him, and his selfishness is the belief that he persists in. !
"Your Majesty, we must not negotiate for peace. I am determined to destroy the Song Dynasty."
Li Yuanhao finally couldn't bear it any longer. He smashed the chair to pieces and said angrily: "It's you. It's you who wants to kill me!"
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Yuanhao in disbelief, dumbfounded. . Li Yuanhao has always obeyed his advice, how could he do it today? . .
"Since you have contributed so much to the country, I will spare your life...!"
Zhang Yuan was excluded from the decision-making center of Xixia because of Li Yuanhao's suspicion. He knew that there was no place for him in the world. As a legendary figure, he did not return to the Song Dynasty until his death, and soon died in depression in Xixia!
People who are not from my race must have different hearts. When this sentence is applied to both Li Yuanhao and Zhang Yuan, the ending is depressing.
When the news of Zhang Yuan's death came, Liang Chuan was so excited that he hugged Su Wei's old bones: Zhang Yuan is finally dead, our time is ripe!
It was the middle of winter, but the Xixia New Kingdom was hit by an unprecedented snowstorm. The sky was filled with white hair and the eyes could not be opened. The cattle and sheep were miserable and the cold weather outside Xingqing Mansion was the most deadly weapon.
After Li Yuanhao came to power, he was determined to pursue aggression and never paid attention to farming and commerce. Even though Wu Hao helped him establish a relatively complete economic system, he destroyed it all with his own hands. The country of Xixia was full of bones and starved to death. After Zhang Yuan's death, Once again, we have reached a difficult moment that threatens our survival!
If food is no longer available, the domestic opposition forces will rebel. The nobles are not worried about starving to death, but the common people cannot even eat grass roots.
Helpless, Li Yuanhao summoned the ten generals of Tie Yaozi and the leaders of various tribes to follow their old path and rob again! After signing a peace agreement with the Liao Kingdom, it is no longer possible to attack the Liao Kingdom. The only route and a more reliable target is the Song Dynasty!
After all, the Song Dynasty is a relatively soft persimmon. It has not suffered a defeat from the Song Dynasty so far. Who can we beat if we don't beat him?
Li Yuanhao didn't want to fight. He wanted to wait until the Song Dynasty's peace talks, the Sui Dynasty's annual gifts, and the opening of border trade. At that time, he could get winter food by spending some money or exchanging cattle and sheep, but the damn Song Dynasty didn't. Send someone to negotiate!
How to fight this battle? How long will it take? Looking around, his subordinates were confused. Only then did he think of Zhang Yuan's kindness. If the imperial master was in charge, what else would he have to worry about? But the National Master took the first step a few months ago. .
Only during this expedition did he feel heavier than ever before! Fortunately, the opponent was only the Song Dynasty, a country rich in scholars.
Zhang Yuan is dead, but Zhang Yuan's strategy can still be used, and it can be used smoothly. It's still the same trick, surround the point and call for reinforcements! This time I want to play a big one. If you can, take down Chang'an!
Li Yuanhao summoned 50,000 troops, plus his 3,000 personal guards, Tie Yaozi, and marched from Tiandu Mountain again to kill at Guyuan City, where the Zhenrong Army was located. As long as this place was broken, the northwest stronghold would be at his disposal, and the troops would directly attack Chang'an. Just around the corner!
Guyuan City.
The news of Li Yuanhao sending troops almost frightened Xia Song. Xia Song believed Liang Chuan's greedy words that Li Yuanhao would take the initiative to sue for peace. Why didn't the sue for peace come again this year? He had made a secret offer to the officials. Is it equivalent to the serious crime of deceiving the emperor?
"Come here, get that guy from Liang Chuan to me. I'm going to cut out his heart with my own hands!" This Xia Song is not only greedy for money but also vicious in his methods. He was deceived by Liang Chuan for half a year and has no hope of Li Yuanhao and Tan Pan coming. After taking Li Yuanhao's knife, I finally knew that I was doomed!
Liang Chuan was kidnapped by Wu Hua Da and brought to Guyuan. However, his neck was very stiff and he did not kneel down, nor was he afraid of death. Instead, he resolutely said to Xia Song: "Master Xia, if you intend to kill me, let me die without sparing my life." On the battlefield, Li Yuanhao is sending troops this time because the country is in dire straits, both internally and externally. As long as we can withstand this situation, we don’t have to worry about Li Yuanhao not coming to the peace talks. We have worked hard for this peace talk for nearly a whole year, are we going to give up in vain?"
Xia Song wanted to kill Liang Chuan, so he called Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan together. Han Qi had only met Liang Chuan once at the school ground in the eastern suburbs of Bianjing, but Fan Zhongyan had been deceived by Liang Chuan and already identified him as the Queen Mother's man!
Xia Song was a ruthless person who only pursued interests without distinguishing between right and wrong. Fan Zhongyan knew what he was like. If he killed Liang Chuan like this, would Queen Mother Liu let the three of them live a good life?
"Keep someone under the knife!" Fan Zhongyan stopped the impulsive Xia Song under the knife.
Xia Song was also extremely surprised. Fan Zhongyan had always been at odds with him. He couldn't stand it when he reused Liang Chuan in the past. He publicly said many times that he reused treacherous people. What's wrong with him today, and he still intercedes for Liang Chuan?
"Beheading the general in front of the battle will only strengthen the enemy's ambition and destroy his own prestige. According to me, what Zhang Dujian said is not unreasonable. Let him live or wait for his crime and meritorious service. Even if he is defeated, let the enemy kill him. Why do we need it? Fight among yourself!"
Liang Chuan glanced at Fan Zhongyan gratefully. Fan Zhongyan's eyes were unwavering, but this was a sign of tacit understanding with him! I had let Liang Chuan off before, so I can't express my intention to kill Liang Chuan now!
"Okay! Since Xiwen pleads for you, I will leave you guilty and serve the country!"
"Thank you, sir. I will ask you for another order of arrows. I am willing to lead the troops forward to frustrate Li Yuanhao's spirit!"
All the soldiers in Guyuan City sneered, "Who are you Liang Chuan? You probably don't know how terrifying Li Yuanhao is!" If you were asked to lead the troops, wouldn't you just turn around and dedicate Dingchuan Village to Li Yuanhao?
At this time, Fan Zhongyan spoke again: "I recommend Zhang Dujian!"
Even Han Qi was surprised. Lao Fan took the wrong medicine today. Why did he keep saying good things to Ding Wei's slave?
"Xiwen...?" Han Qi wanted to persuade Fan Zhongyan to take back his words, but Zhongyan was determined and unwavering!
A hint of evil flashed in Xia Song's eyes, and she was overjoyed. In the past, she made all the decisions by herself and took the blame. Now Fan Zhongyan rarely takes the initiative to take the blame. How can she make him unhappy?
When the time comes, as long as Liang Chuan is defeated and he blames Fan Zhongyan and Liang Chuan, the imperial court will be so angry that even if they have something to blame, they will not point it at themselves!
"Okay! I've appointed you as the vanguard. Come on, pour some wine! I want to see Zhang Dujian off!"
The standing soldier brought a pot of wine. Wine in the army was not allowed to be drunk casually. On this occasion, the superior officer's gift of wine to his subordinates was a kind of encouragement and praise.
The soldier untied Liang Chuan, but Liang Chuan did not accept the drink but imitated Guan Yunchang's heroic spirit and said: "I will drink this cup again when I defeat the enemy and make great achievements!" "
All the generals in the meeting hall burst into laughter. The laughter was full of frivolity and disdain. This boy thought he was Guan Yunchang!
Liang Chuan doesn't care about other people's ridicule, just laugh. I'll let you have a taste of my human cannon later and see if you can still laugh!
Liang Chuan returned to Dingchuan Village and immediately summoned all the soldiers. The war has come, and mobilization must begin!
A platform was set up in the middle of Dingchuan Village. Liang Chuan stood in the middle. On the left was Xin Wubing, on the right was Su Wei, then Yuchi Tian, Qin Jing, Yao Yuan, Di Qing, Linghu Xiaotianshi and other soldiers. General.
Ten thousand people lined up neatly in the square, and the atmosphere was serious but not dull. Everyone was not afraid of war but had been waiting for this war for too long!
"Take a break!"
"stand at attention!"
There is only one voice among ten thousand people, and the movements in unison are shocking and pleasing to the eye!
Everyone in Liangchuan was moved by this scene. The three armies came out together. This was so fucking majestic!
"This winter is extremely cold." Liang Chuan said each word with sonorous force! Everyone listened quietly to Liang Chuan's words!
"The Dangxiang people are here again. They regard us as their pigs and sheep! They have no rice or food at home and are ready to take advantage of us!"
"How many of our fellow villagers have died at their hands, how many of our relatives have been humiliated by them!"
"I have suffered enough humiliation for a hundred years! For a year, we have been living in the open and in the fire, blood and fire, just for this moment, brothers, kill Li Yuanhao and pay for the blood debt!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!" A loud resonance echoed across the sky above Dingchuan Village!
"I hope we can meet in wealth and fame in the future! Now let's ask our military advisor, Mr. Su, to make arrangements!"
Su Wei took a step forward with the command arrow in his hand, and glanced at the soldiers of the three armies. His heart was so surging. He had been waiting for this moment all his life, and his wish to guide thousands of troops across the country finally came true!
"Di Qing obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"You lead Guan Jing's cavalry out of Jingyuan to the west, and go straight to Zhuo La City, the south city of the West Bandit. You can attack the northwest at your will. Just remember one thing, just go west and rush east. There is no need to attack or capture the city along the way. , only kill the active forces within the territory of the Western Bandits!"
"The last general takes command!"
