Chapter 35 Tell the truth again
Zhao Xu waved Liu Ling and Lao Duzhi back, looked at Tang Ning and said, "There is no third person here except you and me." Like last time, let's be honest. ”
"Huh? What else do you say? ”
"Why, do you not want to listen, or do you not want to speak?"
Tang Ning swallowed his saliva, but finally didn't dare to say that there were these two words.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu snorted and said, "Tang Ning, Tang Ning, I treat you well, are you still wary of me now?" ”
Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Official, you misunderstood, Wechen is not wary of you, Wechen is respecting you!" ”
"Respect me? Respect me, I can't even say a word in my heart? ”
"It is precisely because of respect for you that Weichen does not dare to tell you what is in his heart. You are to Weichen like the dazzling sun to the faint stars, have you ever seen the stars speak to the sun? ”
Zhao Xu picked his thumb and said, "It's still your best at patting sycophants."
Forget it, I won't force you either. Today I said, you listen. I ask a question, and you can answer it. “
Tang Ning sighed at this time, and then hesitated for a moment and said: "Official, Weichen dares to ask, will your question involve the ** aspect of Weichen?" ”
"If you talk nonsense, you can stay where I am."
"Wechen knows the wrong ......"
Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and said, "In the past few days, almost everyone in the world knows that the Empress Dowager Gao has died." Therefore, it is time for me to be in power.
To tell you the truth, I will first of all employ the new party and drive out the old party that has rejected the new party. Those who use legitimate means to obtain appeals, love to stay, I don't bother to care.
Second, after the launch of the new party, the border defense strategy will have to change. Since the time of my ancestors, my holy dynasty has been taoguang and obscure. After four dynasties of my great-grandfather, grandfather and father, the treasury is now abundant, which is enough to support my holy dynasty to continue fighting.
Throughout the internal and external world, there are only three biggest enemies of the Holy Dynasty, the first is the endless bandits among the people, which disturb the people to live like a year. If it can be eliminated, bandits will be the first target of my pro-government.
However, it's not always that easy to clear out the bandits, so let's put this enemy aside for now.
The second is the Liao people, but the Liao Emperor had an alliance with Gaozu back then, and now the peace between the two countries has lasted for nearly a hundred years. If you don't provoke the Liao, this peace should last.
The Liao people are powerful, and they are a difficult bone to gnaw, even if the whole country is strong to gnaw this bone, it will take a long time. So this enemy, let's throw it aside.
The third enemy is the Western Xia. Over the years, there have been constant attacks between our Holy Dynasty and the Western Xia, and there have been victories and defeats against each other, so it is not possible to go on like this.
If it weren't for the fact that my father commissioned his companion to write a secret letter before he died, telling me that I couldn't continue to live in obscurity no matter what, and it would not be impossible to endure it.
But since my father said that this was a move that I started to play when I was a high ancestor, I will take it now
With this hand, it is natural to play this game of chess well.
Bandits, Liao, is just a disease of ringworm for us now, and Western Xia is the first to bear the brunt of the problem. ”
Zhao Xu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and after he finished speaking, he jumped off the kang and pulled out a human-high scroll from behind the bookshelf.
Holding and walking in front of Tang Ning, his face showed an emotional look, raised an eyebrow, looked at Tang Ning and smiled: "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" ”
Before Tang Ning could answer, Zhao Xu continued: "Move the table down." ”
Tang Ning obediently moved the small square table on the kang down, and Zhao Xu unfolded the huge scroll and spread it on the kang.
The moment the scroll was fully unfolded, Tang Ning couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"It's ......"
It's a map, and it's a partial map. Mountains and rivers are readily available, and each place is densely marked with small characters.
"This is the map of Western Xia." In Zhao Xu's voice, there was an irrepressible excitement: "It's not a border land, it's a map of the entire Western Xia!" ”
Tangning felt his palms sweat, and he found that he seemed to have been involved in something very remarkable.
His hands wiped the sweat on the sides of his clothes, and Tang Ning's mouth was a little dry. Licking his lips, he blinked vigorously and said, "You mean ......"
"Forty years." Zhao Xu suddenly said, "Do you know, this map has been prepared for forty years. Ever since my great-grandfather was a child, he has been working on this map.
Over the past 40 years, the territory of the Tangut people has expanded and shrunk from time to time. This picture has also been changed countless times. The party members have betrayed us for so many years, why do they think that we will not get this account back? ”
Tang Ning swallowed his saliva, he didn't know what to say, Zhao Xu looked a little excited, Tang Ning didn't want this tuberculosis patient to get sick under excitement, and began to cough, so he had to divert the topic and said: "This picture is very comprehensive, I just don't know how credible it is, there should still be errors......
"Forty years, two generations, 1,500 people up and down stepped on this map." Zhao Xu said softly: "I don't think I have any reason to doubt the authenticity of this picture. ”
"......" Obviously, Zhao Xu told himself at the beginning of today that it was right to just wear his ears. As soon as Tang Ning opened his mouth, he was scolded back by Zhao Xu.
"Tang Qing, what did you think of when you saw this map?" Zhao Xu supported the kang with both hands, turned his head sideways and asked Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Actually, Weichen really didn't think of anything else, if I had to say one...... That is, Weichen thought that the party members were going to be unlucky, and it was still a big bad luck. ”
Zhao Xu laughed and said, "That's right! The party members are going to be unlucky, and in my plan, I am going to spend ten years to deal with them......"
"Ten years?" Tang Ning was stunned for a moment: "Ten years is too long, right?" Beat them to the pain, as long as it is
It would be enough to win at least three large-scale battles in two years...... Wait a minute, official, are you going to ......"
Zhao Xu looked at Tang Ning, who was staring wide-eyed, and said with a smile: "You're right, I want them to die, and I want the party members to disappear forever."
Tang Qing, your Zhenjiang army can't escape this battle. So now you'd better think about what you need, or what tactics you might have to fight the party members.
While you haven't left the palace yet, if you have any needs, I will definitely satisfy you if you can meet them. ”
I didn't dare to say that it won't take ten years, and after seven years you will hang up this sentence first. Tang Ning followed Zhao Xu's words and asked suspiciously, "Is it really fake?" ”
Zhao Xu's eyes widened: "Are you questioning what I said?" ”
"Then give me three thousand cavalry, and a thousand heavy horsemen...... Oh, official, why are you kicking me, didn't you say it? ”
Zhao Xu said angrily: "Three thousand cavalry, one thousand heavy cavalry, you bastard really came with your mouth open." The heavy cavalry of the entire Holy Dynasty is not enough for 8,000, and you ask for 1,000 when you open your mouth, why don't you take them all away? ”
"Fighting with the party members, of course, the more cavalry, the better, otherwise how can two legs fight with other people's six legs?
If you dare to give it, Weichen will dare to speak...... Oops, don't fight, don't fight......"
Zhao Xu also patted Tang Ning lightly twice, and Tang Ning's words hit Zhao Xu's sadness. Song horses are generally short, and a one-meter-five horse is equivalent to a tall horse in the Song Dynasty.
Although such a horse can also be used as a cavalry mount, in any case, it is not as powerful as other people's 1.8 or 1.9 meter horses.
Zhao Xu's idea is very good, and there is no problem with gradually encroaching on the party's land in ten years. In particular, he just said that the treasury is abundant, which is enough to support the continuous fighting of the Great Song army for many years.
But don't forget, the Dangxiang people are still nomadic by nature, and their territory is also a large area, which is an endless grassland......
Throughout the Great Song Dynasty army and the Liao State, with the Western Xia, and even with the surrounding small countries. Don't say that the grassland, that is, on the plain, the battle results are miserable.
It is conceivable that without cavalry, in Zhao Xu Hongda's war blueprint, what kind of embarrassing situation the Song army would fall into.
"No horses! No horses! Zhao Xu's eyes were red: "There are no good horses!" The best horses in the palace are no taller than me! ”
Tang Ning saw that Zhao Xu was anxious, and he himself was anxious. Looking down at the map, he suddenly noticed that there was a place called Kakuro in the lower left corner.
Tang Ning pointed to the place and said suspiciously: "Official, where is this?" ”
Zhao Xu looked down, crossed his hands on his waist and said, "Qingtang." ”
"Is there a horse? Weichen means good horse......"
Zhao Xu rushed up and hugged Tang Ning, and said excitedly: "Tang Qing! You're such a good horse for me...... No, good minister! ”
