During the Mid-Autumn Festival on 15 August, there was no festive atmosphere in Yingli City, and the 15,000 new army and 5,000 forbidden troops were setting up camp and marching east along the wide post road.

There were also 500 new troops and 3,000 militiamen left in the city, under the command of Wang 56. It is said that such a city far away from the central region of Western Xia and separated by the New Army in the middle is no longer necessary to leave heavy troops to garrison.

But Wang Fifty-six's task is very heavy, not only to defend the city and protect the ammunition and supplies in the city, but also to guard against the danger from behind, and the goal is directly aimed at the forbidden army.

King Qi took 4,000 forbidden troops from Lanzhou to Yingli City, although he said that he gave a death order to the Lanzhou guard, but the order could not withstand the holy decree, and he had no descendants in the army, and the hope of keeping Lanzhou was too slim.

Lanzhou was very important before it was not in the hands, but now that it has Yingli City, it is useless. As long as Huangzhou, Maweicheng, Wusheling, and Liangzhou are in hand, the supplies of the new army will continue to arrive in Yingli City.

This is the first fulcrum of Hong Tao's sweep of Western Xia, the battle ahead is smooth, supplies can be transported forward from now on, the war ahead is unfavorable, and there is a place to wait for retreat.

Speaking of which, I have to thank the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, this city was built under her auspices, and its usefulness is similar to that calculated by Hong Tao, and it is also used as a bridgehead.

"General Wang, you have been here for more than a month and have not received the will of the imperial court, let alone seen the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia, could it be that they have forgotten us?"

Zhao Maid seems to have returned to ten years ago, when he was still a little kid, and he came here to train with the new army, and he also rode a horse and followed his uncle's side slowly. As long as you don't get annoyed, your ears can hear the cocoons along the way, and there is always a reason to talk about.

Now that he has grown up, my uncle doesn't seem to have seen much age, but his temperament has completely changed, and he no longer likes to march on horseback, but sits in a carriage. Originally, I could go in comfortably, but in order to set an example, I chose to ride like a soldier.

As my uncle said, to prepare for the future, you have to pay attention to your identity in everything you say and do. But this is really depressing, the familiar Jiang Erlang, Wang Da, and Wang Qi are all in different queues, and there is only Wang Hou, who is also the commander of the forbidden army, by his side, and he is not a stranger, let's talk a few words.

“…… If it is really as King Liang and His Royal Highness said, the court is afraid that it will not come for a while. "The one who really has a big change should be Wang Hou.

Ever since King Qi arrived in Yingli City, he had heard many things that King Liang had never mentioned, such as the strangeness of the battle situation on Qinfeng Road and the unreasonableness of the Western Xia army's possession of a large number of steel plate crossbows......

These things are irrefutable evidence, and if the situation is true, there is indeed something wrong with the court and even the official family. Whether the situation is true or not, Wang Hou specially asked King Liang for verification, and not only got a positive answer, but also got all kinds of strange things that the new army saw after setting off from Guazhou Town, such as the blockage of the canal and the desertion of Weiqiao Town.

In Wang Hou's mind, it is best not to believe a word of what King Liang says on weekdays, otherwise he will be unlucky immediately, this prince is not like an adult at all, he is more naughty than a child, and he can lie and deceive people when he is a big fart, just for fun. But when it comes to major matters, there is really no joke, not to mention the king of Qi, who was almost killed in Zhuo Luo City.

During the month of the renovation of Yingli City, he also reported to the Privy Council on the situation of the battle here with the permission of the King of Liang in the name of the pacification envoy of Ganliang Road.

But there was no response, neither an order to attack nor an order to retreat, and what was even more unusual was that no supplies or reinforcements arrived, and the court seemed to have forgotten about the army here.

What else can Wang Hou think, all the facts are supporting King Liang's judgment, there is no establishment of this army in the court at all, let alone preparations. Not to mention allocating military supplies for tens of thousands of people within a month, it will not come if you wait for another two months.

But there are some things that Wang Hou can't talk to King Qi, and even getting along is very awkward. This may well be the future emperor, but uncertain. It's dangerous to be loyal right away, and it's dangerous not to mention it.

"The general doesn't have to worry too much, this king was just a soldier and a recruit when he followed his uncle, and he didn't even have a chance to go into battle. My uncle said that there were only soldiers on the battlefield, and there were no princes and generals. General Wang also taught the king the method of arranging troops, but unfortunately his uncle did not let him learn it, saying that he would not be able to use it in future wars. But the teachings of General Wang Lao have always been kept in mind, and he said that King Liang was the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Zhao Maid first arrived in Yingli City, he was also quite surprised to see Wang Hou. I haven't heard of the Ganlianglu rebellion, why did this feudal official of the imperial court also mix with the new army?

After a few days of contact, I realized that this person was brought by his uncle, and his situation was even more embarrassing than his own. Then I understood why my uncle wanted to ride a car instead of riding a horse, and what boils on his buttocks were all nonsense, and the real purpose was to let himself and Wang Hou have more time to spend alone.

The reason for this is that Zhao Fu also guessed that when King Liang broke up with him in Yanshan, he said that if you want to get help from others, you have to work hard by yourself, if you don't work hard, no matter how hard others work, it will be in vain.

This is an exam to see if you are willing to work hard to save yourself. Would you like to? Of course I am willing, the Great Song Jiangshan was left to him by his father, since Chen Niang can be a queen and achieve a career, why should I be a waste prince for the rest of my life.

In the past, it was because of young age, weak power, and the situation did not allow it. Now that I have my uncle's support, if I don't plan to fight, I really don't have a chance. Who wants to sit and wait to be killed by others, my uncle is right, people can't help themselves in the court.

"Your Highness can know that the danger of the court is not weaker than the battle, and he should be the general of the army, but he may not be able to lead the court." Wang Hou has also heard his father's words, and he can't say that he agrees with all of them, but he still agrees with the core content. King Liang does have the ability, and no one is invincible in the whole court.

But he also knows that being an emperor is not just about having the ability, the king of Qi has a high heart but is inexperienced, and the prospects are not very optimistic. If it takes a long time to change an emperor, it is likely that it will not be as good as the original, so what is the effort to change.

Moreover, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the lord is less than the country, and the tail is too big to fall. The stronger the Liang King's ability, the bleaker the future of the Qi King. Wang Hou has never had the slightest idea of changing the emperor in his bones, the courtiers can be changed, can it be said that the emperor can also be changed, it is too rebellious.

"What does General Wang think of Ganliang Road?" How could Zhao Maid not hear the subtext in Wang Hou's words, people thought that he was not prestigious enough and inexperienced.

This thing can't be solved by mouth alone for the time being, but the persuasion work still has to be done, if you can't even put a general on the table, you are really incompetent, and there is really nothing to fight for if the emperor is not right.

“…… If there is no war and no more recurrence, it will be ......just around the corner to plug the south of the Yangtze River, and this sentence is about Wang Hou's weakness, and he also understands what King Qi is going to say next, but the facts are the facts, and it will not be possible if you don't admit it.

"How can I not repeat myself? The DPRK and China have been discussing the new policy on Ganliang Road for a long time, if there is no southern invasion by the Western Xia people, I am afraid that it has already started, right? "As long as you admit the facts, that's easy to do.

“…… The affairs of the court and the central government are not very clear. This time Wang Hou said very vaguely, and he also understood in his heart that he didn't know how many courtiers he had offended in Ganliang Road, although he was not as annoying as the horse Wang Shu back then, and his career was over.

Sometimes I can't figure out why there are so many people who oppose policies that are obviously beneficial to the country and the people, can't they see the facts?

"This king thinks that the whole world should be like a cool road, and my father once said to this king that King Liang will never lose the royal family, and this king also thinks so." In fact, Zhao Yu himself didn't quite understand the set of things that his uncle said, and he was resistant to being an emperor who didn't talk much.

But I think that since Chen Niang's elf and eccentric temperament are willing to do this, maybe it will be feasible. In fact, he didn't understand one thing, people always have habits of thinking, and once the influence of the three views takes root, it will be difficult to erase it in this life.

“…… The lower officials are willing to uphold the will of the emperor and respect the sage! "It's all said and done, Wang Hou knows that he can't hide. You can be sloppy at King Liang's place, but when you get to King Qi, you really can't shirk it, you have to choose a side.

However, he played a trick and only promised to uphold the will of the emperor, which did not violate his purpose, and it was also the edification of saints to respect the sages. But if you're not a sage, you'll have to wait and see.
