Xingzhou, in the Xixia Palace, Li Renxiao looked at his uncle Brother Richard with an iron face, if Brother Richard was not his own uncle, this was in the main hall, there were so many officials watching, Li Renxiao really wanted to give Brother Richard a few slaps;

Brother Richard really doesn't care, Li Renxiao secretly sent someone to operate the Black Eagle matter, and was caught by Yang Zhi ready-made, and now it has become the reason for Yang Zhi to crusade against Western Xia, so that the Great Song Dynasty will talk about it in a high-sounding manner, but after all, it is in the main hall, Brother Richard still has to maintain the face of the monarch and ministers, and he will not say such words.

Looking at the trembling ministers around him, Brother Richard replied: "Back to the emperor, this is the court of the Great Song Dynasty urging the Dingbei Army and taking out the Yongxing Military Road as a bargaining chip; But looking at Yang Zhi's arrangement, you can know how unwilling he is, Yang Zhi himself did not come to the front line like last time, Yue Fei is the commander on the south road, Quduan is the commander on the north road, and half of the troops are newly trained troops. ”

Several ministers who had been listening next to him finally heard something, and Wang Yan asked, "Does the prince think that the Dingbei Army will not go all out?"

"It depends on our capabilities. Li Renxiao said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult Yang Zhi's food is, there is no problem to maintain it for a month or two, if Yue Fei and Qu Duan fight successively, and there is a hole in our defense line, Yang Zhi will definitely press it with all his strength and fight to the death with us to see if we can take Xingzhou in a month or two." If Yue Fei and Qu Duan make unfavorable progress, Yang Zhi can only use the rotation of the army to fight a war of attrition with us. ”

The Dingbei army did not move this time, and all the news was released by people with good intentions, and Xixia almost knew all of Yang Zhi's plans; Professor Fan Han shook his head and said: "The prince sees it too simply, Yang Zhi's use of troops is strange, if he secretly has arrangements, it is likely to give us a sudden blow." Since the other side has sent troops, we must be prepared for the possibility of burning all the jade, mobilize all our forces at all costs, and ask for help from the Jin State at the same time. ”

Brother Richard understood that Daochong was helping himself, and he was worried that Li Renxiao would play some tricks when he reached this point, and he would be used by his opponent in the end, so Brother Richard nodded and said: "Lord Hu is reasonable, it is inevitable to ask Jin Guo for assistance, as long as they lay down this area in the clouds, they can be connected with Xingzhou, and ask the emperor to arrange for the envoy to go immediately." On the military side, I personally went to meet Yue Fei, Ren Dejing held on to Xingzhou, waited for reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive, and then fought a decisive battle with Quduan. ”

"The pillar stone of the prince's country is still important to sit in Xingzhou. Empress Dowager Ren did not wait for Li Renxiao to speak, and immediately objected: "If Yue Fei goes north, the destination is still Xingzhou, and the prince might as well wait for work; in order to prevent Yue Fei from entering Hexi and joining Liu Qi's army, he can let Lord Ren go to Helan Mountain and stick to the defense line of Helan Mountain, and once Yue Fei goes north, he can attack Yue Fei's back road." Lord Wang, the emperor and Xingzhou can't do without you. ”

Brother Richard was so experienced that he guessed the Empress Dowager Ren's thoughts in an instant, that he was worried that he would take the army away, and once Xingzhou was in trouble, he would take the opportunity to control the Hexi region and establish himself as the king; but in Brother Richard's mind, Ren Dejing was not Yue Fei's opponent, and in case Helan Mountain was lost, let the Dingbei army enter Hexi, and Xingzhou would be a symbolic capital. Brother Richard saw Li Renxiao's eyes shining, and he knew that his nephew was still suspicious of him, and Xu Empress Dowager's words were said for Li Renxiao, they had already discussed it in the harem, and Brother Richard said helplessly: "Please also ask the emperor to make the decision." ”

The national teacher Ah Shu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't be suspicious of employing people. ”

Like Daochong, Ah Shu didn't have a good impression of Ren Dejing's family, he just felt that Western Xia had reached the point of life and death, and winning the battle was the most important thing, and it might not be a good thing to stick to Xingzhou;

"No matter how important Xingzhou is, it is not as important as defeating the Dingbei Army, as long as the Dingbei Army is defeated, even those places in Lingzhou and Youzhou can be taken back. As the national teacher of Western Xia, Ah Shushu has been in the army for a long time, and his vision is also first-class;

"Can Uncle Huang defeat Yue Fei?" Li Renxiao asked, he had already made a decision in his heart, if Brother Richard was sure to defeat Yue Fei, it would be worth taking some risks, but how could Brother Richard, as a member of the general, make such a promise: "Your Majesty, there is no full saying about fighting, and Weichen is five to sixty percent sure. ”

Brother Richard's statement is already very in place, but in Li Renxiao's ears, Brother Richard is still not confident, in this case, it is better to sit back and wait for the reinforcements of the Jin State to be more stable; Li Renxiao believes that if the Dingbei Army destroys the Western Xia, not only will its strength increase greatly, but it will also be able to deal with the Jin State wholeheartedly, and the Jin State will never sit idly by. Seeing that Li Renxiao was silent, Wang Yan, who had not dared to intervene on the side, finally couldn't help it, and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are treacherous, and the King of Jin is sixty percent sure that it is already very large. ”

Li Renxiao glared at Wang Yan unhappily: "We can't gamble on this matter, you immediately send an envoy to the Jin State and ask them to send troops to help, and the King of Jin and I are waiting for your good news in Xingzhou." ”

As Li Renxiao's confidant, as soon as Wang Yan opened his mouth, he was reprimanded by Li Renxiao, and the others suddenly didn't dare to speak more, only Daochong was unwilling to hide aside honestly: "Your Majesty, Helan Mountain still has to send someone there." ”

"Let Ren Dejing pass. "In the face of Daochong, Li Renxiao also has a headache, this Daochong is different from other Confucians, not only proficient in scriptures and history, but also good at easy counting, don't look at Daochong is just a professor, very influential among the courtiers; Li Renxiao finally realized that something is wrong after speaking, if Uncle Li Chage can't be trusted, is Ren Dejing a person who surrendered worthy of trust? Li Renxiao hurriedly asked: "Is Zhang Huyi here?"

Zhang Huyi's status in this group of bigwigs is very low, standing at the back of the crowd, suddenly hearing his name, Zhang Huyi was confused by Li Renxiao's questioning, walked out of the crowd in a few steps, bowed down and replied: "Weichen is here." ”
