Chapter 797: The West Attacks the Western Regions from afar
Weng son-in-law's love should be a relationship that allows two people who are not related by blood, but are united wholeheartedly because of a woman. Unfortunately, it is clear that this sentiment has become worthless in a politically dominated market.
Zhang Yang and Yelu Dashi, the son-in-law, one is a nobleman who has lost his country, and the other is a person who wants to be dissatisfied and betrayed his brother, he should have worked together to create a new world in the Western Regions, and then turn back and let the people who died in his country and the brothers who were betrayed by him see their success.
It's a pity that this pair of Weng sons-in-law are of different nationalities. The century-old hatred between the Khitan and the Han people doomed them to the day they became Weng's son-in-law, and Zhang Yang's heart would not accept everything to be in cahoots with Yelu Dashi. It is also destined that Yelu Dashi pushed his daughter into the fire pit from the beginning, and sooner or later it will turn into a tragedy.
No matter what happens to Zhang Yang and Yelu Dashi in the future, the choice made by Yelu Dashi will really give Liu Kuang, who is stationed in Ningxia with a large army, a headache for a while.
He fought between his son-in-law, Zhang Yang gave Yelu Dashi a kick, and Yelu Dashi returned him two punches, why did Liu Jian have a headache?
That's because when Yelu Dashi sent envoys and went to the Black Khan Dynasty with a large number of Khitans to loot gold and silver treasures from the Uighurs in Xizhou, and after arriving in the Seljuk Dynasty, the two countries that were still in internal strife and called "Far Western Countries" by Liu Xing miraculously stopped fighting and reunited.
Interests are the most primitive motive force for the rulers of all countries. With great interests in front of them, the West, which had been in internal strife, quickly formed a powerful coalition in its own country, as Yelu Dashi had hoped.
The coalition was formed, and in what seemed to be a chaotic situation, the armies of the Seljuks and the Black Khans marched mightily towards the city of Shule.
The strength of this coalition force has shaken the Western Regions and the surrounding areas since the beginning of its first army. Why is it so shocking? That's because this coalition is too strong in numbers. It was so powerful that both the western and southern powers were frightened when they heard the number of their soldiers.
So how many men did the Seljuk and Black Khan coalition have?
The army of 1.8 million people, a full 1.8 million people, almost pulled all the men of the two sunset Xishan dynasties into the army. With such a huge number of coalition troops, even Liu Xing was shocked when he heard it.
1.8 million people, what is that concept? That is equivalent to the total strength of half of the troops of the Great Song Dynasty now including the patrol troops.
The two Western Far Away actually gathered so many soldiers and horses to fight the publicity, first for the Western Regions, and then for their own safety, so that Liu Xing did not dare to underestimate those Western Far Away.
So it was on the third day of the letter sent out. When Liu Xing learned that the Western Far Alliance Army, which was equivalent to more than 20 times the strength of Zhang Yang, had advanced to a place 200 miles west of Shule, Liu Jian did not dare to be careless and decided to lead his troops to Yumen Pass to wait for the battle, Liu Xing made a decision: If he dares to come, I will dare to let him not go back.
That's 1.8 million people, not eighteen. Liu Xing makes people come and go, and he has to have that ability first.
The battle on the northern front continued, and Zhong Xiang on the southern front had fled the country with the last group of 36,000 people who were dead set on him, along with the royal descendants of the Li Dynasty. Although Wu Jue on the eastern front completely occupied the two Huai, there were still small forces of the Southern Dynasties crossing the river along the river to entangle with them.
If the Western Front is at war, what will Liu Xing do to make the family have no return, and the current family background of the Northern Song Dynasty does not allow Liu Xing to fight on all sides at the same time.
Zong Ze is here, and the seed master is here. Zhao Ding came, Yang Shi came, and even Mr. Hu, who was kicked to the advisory house by Liu Xing, broke into the Taifu Mansion together despite Liu Xing's harsh orders to him.
Although they broke into the Taifu Mansion almost at the same time, the opinions of these courtiers after they came were different.
"The distant army is so strong and there are so many soldiers and horses, you should focus on Fu, and you shouldn't help the traitor to spread out. Otherwise, it will anger those who are far away, and their military strength will be enough to attack and disrupt our Western Song Dynasty in a rage. Hu Anguo said.
Zhao Ding's idea was: There is no money, our imperial court has no money to support the New Western Army to send troops from Ningxia to help Zhang Heizi fight those Western far-reaching. If you want to start another war in the western Xinjiang, then immediately let Yang Yizhong completely destroy the Jurchens and let Wu Jue stop using troops, otherwise I won't be able to come up with the money to give your ninth brother to beat the West far away......
"The biggest bane of the far east is the battle between Zhang Yang and Yelu Dashi in the Western Regions, wanting to stop the Yuanfan army and break Zhang Yang and Yelu Dashi first. The two are broken. With the sharpness of my Great Song Dynasty king, I believe that I can stop the West from invading eastward. This is Yang Shi's opinion.
These three people. One is an old gentleman who was kicked out of the cold bench by Liu Xing, but he is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. But the old gentleman Hu Anguo, he has never led troops, and the art of war can only be said to be above the army, although the strategic thinking is not undesirable, it is not enough for Liu Xing to pay attention to it.
The second is in charge of money and food, Zhao Ding seems to have never seen Liu Xing these days without crying about poverty and not shouting about the lack of money in the Northern Dynasty. So after he finished speaking, Liu Xing didn't answer directly, just smiled and didn't say anything.
The third is a model of uprightness, honesty and integrity, but Yang Shi's knowledge of military affairs is on par with Hu Anguo. Liu Xing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.
So when the three of them all expressed their opinions and opinions, Liu Xing set his eyes on Zong Ze, who was sitting with the help of two personal soldiers, and the seed master who was sitting on his right hand.
He has led the army for more than ten years, and his reputation has shocked the world. Zong Ze's views and practical ability in military affairs, Liu Xing sincerely admired. Needless to say, his courage to fight back then was the biggest capital that allowed him to sit on the military department now, but no one questioned the government and the opposition.
Compared to the first three. To a large extent, the opinions of Zong Ze and the seed masters were able to really influence Liu Xing's thinking and change some of Liu Xing's decisions.
As soon as he saw Liu Xing's eyes on him, the planter was also unequivocal, and directly said his thoughts: It is okay to send troops, but it must be ensured that one blow will win. For example, Yang Yizhong's style of play must not appear again, and Liu Xing should not think about using the battle of the Western Regions to do a round of warfare, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty will run out of money and the country will not be a country.
In fact, to a certain extent, these words in the seed master summarized the thoughts of Yang Shi and Zhao Ding, and his warlike nature as a veteran general who has led the army for many years.
When he said such a thing, in fact, Liu Xing had already expected it, and he just wanted him to say it, and then he could give a clear reply. In terms of military affairs, in fact, the only people Liu Xing really respects and relies on are him and Zong Ze, which is just to give face. (To be continued.) )
