Chapter 1097: Taking Chestnuts
Yang Zhi saw that Fan Shiyan understood what he meant, and tapped lightly on the table and said: "Yelu Dashi's move, the Western Regions will inevitably be turbulent, we have to discuss it carefully, how to get the most benefits in this, for example, will the Western Xia take the opportunity to coerce and lure those small countries to develop their forces in the Western Regions, and will they relax their attention on our side because of this." ”
The people in the room are the backbone of Yang Zhi's subordinates, and Yang Zhi does not have the slightest scruples when he speaks; Quan Bangyan coughed a few times, he knew in his heart that Yang Zhi had already made up his mind, and besides, this kind of strategizing was not what he Quan Bangyan was good at, it was the original Lu Yihao and Liang Xun's forte.
Li Yanxian, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Fusi Division, stood up and said: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, the Western Xia is a country, and the roots are thicker than our waists, and compared with the strength of our Shaanxi Fourth Road, the Western Xia people are much stronger. But the territory of Western Xia is also many times larger than ours, on the side of the couch, how can we allow others to sleep soundly, Western Xia will definitely move a knife at us, so even if Western Xia does not relax his attention to us, if he has the opportunity, he will be beaten first. ”
Everyone in the room laughed, the limelight on Gyeonggi Road was robbed by Liu Qi, Xu Wen, Yang Zhongwu and others, Li Yanxian and other Guanzhong generals did not fight much, and they had already itched their hands one by one; the other four commanders in Qinzhou, Wang De, Fu Xuan, Sang Zhong, and Wu Jue nodded one after another, they were originally generals of the Western Army, and there was no reason why they were not familiar with the terrain in Shaanxi, but Xu Wen, Yang Zhongwu, and Han Qing in Longzhou were not very familiar with this area.
"But that's a chestnut in the fire!Lord Yang, are you right?" Those who did not approve of the war all nodded secretly, Quan Bangyan hit the nail on the head, Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "Even we are not optimistic about ourselves, the Xixia people have no reason to be optimistic about us, although the risk of sending troops is extremely great, but it is not that there is no chance at all, the easiest way is to be surprised." Yelu Dashi's actions have given us a chance, let's see if the ass of this tiger in Western Xia can be touched!"
Yang Zhi's humor made people laugh, and Yang Yizhong laughed and said: "There are 1.2 million people in the whole country of Western Xia, and the number of soldiers that can be used is called 600,000, which should be more than 500,000, in Shuozhou, Qizhou, Yinzhou, Jingzhou and other places, we have consumed more than 100,000 troops and more than 100,000 civilians in Western Xia, even if there is a supplement now, at most only 500,000 Western Xia troops." We can be a hungry wolf, just want to bite and wipe out the 50,000 to 100,000 Western Xia army. ”
Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Xixia is thousands of miles in circumference, relying on Helan Mountain as a solid, in the regular period, 70,000 people will guard Xingqing Mansion, 50,000 people will guard Xiping Mansion, and 50,000 people will be stationed in Helan Mountain; 50,000 people on Youzhou Road will deal with Hedong, 30,000 people on Ganzhou Road will guard against Xibo and Huifu, 50,000 troops will face Shaanxi, and 70,000 people will defend against Liao in the north; and the rest will be more than 100,000 mobile troops of the Capture Army, the Strong Crossbow Army, and the Harrier Army. Our target this time is the 50,000 enemy troops in front of us and the Hengshan Qiang in Hengshan. ”
Niu Gao nodded and said: "If you can do this, it will be enough for the people of Xixia to drink a pot, and there will definitely be trouble in Xixia." ”
"That's right!" Yang Zhi said with a smile: "But the population of Western Xia is here, he can't expand the army on a large scale, he can only draw around, this is a rare opportunity for us, we can grasp it well and break it one by one, to achieve the effect of consuming the strength of Western Xia, even if we lose, it's a big deal to retreat." ”
Quan Bangyan said with a smile: "My lord, the Western Xia army must be an elite division facing us, and it is mainly cavalry, and I am afraid that it will not be enough if there are fewer troops." ”
"There is no guaranteed war. Yang Zhi said categorically: "Xixia understands very well that we dare to touch him when we are trapped in Taiyuan, and now there is no reason to be good to me and good to me, so no matter what we do, the Xixia people will regard us as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and they must want to pull it out quickly." Once the Song-Jin peace talks succeeded, if the Tangut people learned from the old tricks of the Jin people, then we would be in wax; therefore, the soldiers were very fast, and we had to let people see that the Xixia wanted peace talks, and we also fought them. ”
Quan Bangyan and Fan Shiyan were stunned for a moment, they only fully understood what Yang Zhi meant at this time, while all aspects were waiting, the initiative in this matter was in their hands, and whether they fought afterwards was decided by the Dingbei Army;
Liu Ziyu reminded loudly: "My lord, even if it is a small-scale war, we must give Taiyuan and Hetao a wake-up call, lest they be plotted by the Western Xia army and cause us great trouble." ”
According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, for a situation like Yang Zhi's weight, he was to be stared at to death, but now the state affairs are really unbearable, and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, also has great trust in Yang Zhi, so that Yang Zhi can be grasped by the military and government whether he is in Gyeonggi or Shaanxi; Yang Zhi nodded and said, "Ziyu, tomorrow you will bring someone to accompany Bi Fakang to Taiyuan, and by the way, bring the official document of the Zhifu Division, and ask King Yun to inform everyone to get ready." ”
Liu Ziyu set off the next morning, and at noon, Gongsun Sheng and the fourth sister quietly arrived in Qinzhou, which was arranged by Zhao Kai, so that Yang Zhi had a home in Qinzhou; the three of them had not seen each other for more than a year, but Gongsun Sheng had become old and fine, and after talking with Yang Zhi in one afternoon, he didn't even ask Yang Zhi to arrange dinner, so he followed Huangfu away. Cai Qing grimaced and said, "My lord, I'm guarding here, I'll help you block the car for general official business, go back to the house quickly." ”
Yang Zhi knew that all of them were well-intentioned, just in line with his own thoughts, smiled and returned to the backyard house, the fourth sister had already lit the candles, set up a table of wine and food, and only wore a thin coat, which was particularly attractive; Yang Zhi couldn't help but see that his eyes were shining, and he stretched out his hands and said, "Daddy is okay?"
The fourth sister didn't hide, let Yang Zhi hug her, and said coquettishly: "Do you remember us?
Yang Zhi shouted: "How can I have it." ”
The fourth sister pouted: "Zhao Yingluo has been there, and this time Zhao Yingluo's incident in Hangzhou Dao has been spread all over Taiyuan, and they all say that it is a bureau carefully designed by you, so that King Kang's people can't say it." ”
Yang Zhi's hand roamed over the fourth sister, and said with a smile: "I am the one who is behind the pot, that is the arrangement of King Yun, I just happened to send Zhu Zhiqing's guy over; ”。
The fourth sister fell softly into Yang Zhi's arms and muttered, "Don't talk about business all the time. ”
The room was full of charm for a while.
