Chapter 710: Offending the Border

Chen Ao sat beside the bed and watched the little guy try his best to roll, and shave his little nose with his hands. The little guy frowned and showed displeasure. Chen Ao shaved a little more, and the little guy kicked Chen Ao's hand away with his feet.

"Why doesn't this guy look like his own? His father is famous for being kind." Chen Ao thought to himself and shouted: "Wuhan, I'm breastfeeding."

"What are you feeding? The wet nurse has been sent out of the palace. It seems that she is not a serious family." Chen Ao said the word wet nurse, and Miaoer, who was bedding with the little guy, had already frowned.

Chen Ao immediately said, "What I said is, I have long disliked the wet nurse. We are innocent families and nobles. How could we ask for such a mess?" He sighed in his heart. It's a pity that he is so plump. He continued, "Without wet nurse, is Miaoer feeding the child?"

Miao'er chuckled and said, "I asked someone to invite another serious person. Bi'er, go and call him."

A close-fitting girl standing beside her responded. After a while, she brought a young woman over. Chen Ao looked over with expectation and felt disgusted. This woman was so ugly that she was so ugly. Her waist was like a bucket, thick eyebrows, and her mouth seemed to be on her nose, but her nose was negligible. She looked at her face like a big cake and felt that it was a sin.

"It turns out that there is such a person in the world, and Miao'er can find it." Chen Ao immediately turned his face away, but his face looked joyous, as if he had changed to a wet nurse, and he wanted to celebrate.

Bier carried the child to the wet nurse, and Chen Ao said in his heart: "Little guy cry, cry quickly, don't want this wet nurse, change it."

Unexpectedly, when this little guy saw the milk, he forgot his mother, and wrinkled his little nose first, as if he was a little resistant to strangers. When he got to drink the milk, he immediately ignored everything.

Chen Ao's heart was weeping blood. As expected, no one in this world could believe it.

While thinking about it, Huaide hurried over and said, "Your Highness, something happened. The subordinate Yang asked for a meeting with you. Even the Supreme Emperor was alarmed and was waiting for Your Highness to come in the warm pavilion."

Chen Ao nodded and thought to himself, was it because he was naming the child again? Seeing that the child was about to be full moon, but his name was still arguing. The Ministry of Rites chose a few auspicious names. It was either Chen Ao didn't like it or Li Ganshun didn't agree with it, and just dragged it like this, which was quite tense.

Chen Ao shook his head and said to Miaoer: "I'll go and have a look." After that, he got up and went to the warm house with Huaide.

There was already a silence on the warm pavilion. More than a dozen people sat down, waiting for Chen Ao to come. When Chen Ao stepped into the threshold, everyone except Li Ganshun stood up and saluted: "Your Highness..."

Chen Ao nodded, bowed to Li Ganshun, and said, "I have already said the name of Chen Zhi. If a horse is a horse, it is good to travel thousands of miles a day?"

Yang Zhen coughed and said, "Your Highness, this is not what we want to say today." He paused and said, "The Jurchens suddenly attacked the border with a huge momentum. It is said that Chen Bao, the border crossing had no tail wing for dozens of miles. He broke through several forts and killed one defender. The Yinzhou Army envoy led his troops to surrender. The other military envoys could not support him, so they asked the court for reinforcements."

Chen Ao frowned and said, "Are the Jurchens crazy?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, even Li Ganshun was not surprised, Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "The Jurchens should not have 100,000 people. The Jurchens' cavalry is at most 300,000. Now that they are trying their best to attack the Khitan, how can they draw so many military horses? In my opinion, their number is at most 50,000 people, and it is just a threat."

Li Ganshun said: "Can the Song Dynasty send troops?"

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "The far water cannot save the near fire. The Song Dynasty was mostly infantry. Unless the Jurchens tried their best to attack, it would not be useful. However, the Ma Army Office could be transferred to Xia first. At present, it is urgent to dispatch troops to reinforce immediately."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. The Jurchens' offensive methods have always been mainly harassment. Besides, letting the Song army enter the country before the last moment is also an unspeakable thing for the Western Xia. There are tens of thousands of people on the Ma Junsi and fifty thousand on the Imperial Guard. If these people rush to help, they may be able to compete with the Jurchens.

The Minister of War said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, it is the limit to withdraw at most 20,000 people in the capital. No matter how small it is, I am afraid that the backyard will catch fire."

Chen Aohe nodded. The Xixia is far from united and united, and the followers from all over the country cannot move for the time being. After all, the combat power is really low, and it will only increase the burden if they go there. The Jingji side can draw 20,000, and the Ma Junshi is only 30,000. With these 30,000 people to help, with the combat power of the Jurchens in their heyday, the victory or defeat is unpredictable.

However, the border towns cannot move everywhere, and they have their responsibilities.

However, this battle is related to the survival of the entire Xixia. Once the Jurchens break through the pass, there will inevitably be turmoil. At present, the country is dissatisfied and can only be suppressed by the power of Chen Ao. If it is defeated, there will be no shortage of people who take the thunder from the fire.

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was a large army of 500,000 on paper in Xixia. Unexpectedly, there was no available soldier when it came to the end. However, even so, Chen Ao would never regret it if he decisively rejected the blackmail of the Jurchens. People are lazy. If they take a step back, they will have a second step and a third step. Even if they can retreat for a while, they are not a cure.

Chen Ao would rather choose to fight in a grand manner.

Li Ganshun was silent all the time, and at this time, he suddenly said: "There is still a military horse."

Everyone raised their eyes, Chen Ao looked at Li Ganshun, and said in their hearts, why didn't you say it earlier?

Li Ganshun said solemnly: "It's just that it may not be able to be adjusted." He smiled bitterly before saying, "Even I am not sure."

Yang Zhen said carefully: "Is the Supreme Emperor talking about the five tribes of Hengshan?"

Hearing the four words of the Five Tribes of Hengshan, most of the other officials shook their heads secretly. The Five Tribes of Hengshan were also a branch of the Dangxiang clan. When Emperor Yuanhao was the Great Emperor, he was rebellious because he was not the same tribe as Yuanhao, so he had fought against Yuanhao before Yuanhao ruled the Xiang clan. After that, the Western Xia Kingdom was established, and the Five Tribes of Hengshan were also a maverick existence among the Dangxiang clan. Hundreds of thousands of people have lived in the mountains of the border between Xixia and Khitan, grazing, and traveling. Hunting. Therefore, while the entire nation is corrupt, only the five tribes of Hengshan are preserved. Every year at the Spring Equinox, the Xixia royal court will send envoys to the five tribes of Hengshan to recruit warriors. Therefore, the five tribes of Hengshan also have a great influence in various border towns. Among them, the Hengshan cavalry garrisons that garrison on the border between the Xixia and Khitan were the most brave. The number of Hengshan cavalry soldiers was around 30,000. On the surface, they were controlled by the Great Xia, but in fact the military power was controlled by the patriarchs of the five tribes of Hengshan.

If they could ask for the Hengshan Cavalry, plus the Cavalry Commander, the Mingwu Captain and the Cavalry Army, would be enough to gather a total of 70,000 troops, and their combat power would definitely not be inferior to the Jurchens. The problem is that even if the court issued an order, they might not be willing to obey the orders and sent out an imperial envoy, they would probably not be able to be transferred. If they wanted the Hengshan Army to take action, someone would have to persuade them.

Chen Ao was also quite impressed when he heard the five tribes of Hengshan. The five tribes of Hengshan seemed to have some rift towards him, at least they would not have any good feelings. However, they had to seize a fortress with the Jin army, and simply defended themselves could no longer resist the iron cavalry. Only by mobilizing the cavalry to fight with him can they annihilate the invading enemies.

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "Can the five tribes of Hengshan convince?"

Yang Zhen first glanced at Li Ganshun and said, "The five tribes in Hengshan are mainly Shane clans. Among the five tribes, Shane is the largest population and is the most brave and good at fighting. The Shane clan is unruly and difficult to control. Unless the Supreme Emperor goes in person, you may be able to give it a try."

Li Ganshun sighed and said, "Daxia is in danger, and I may give it a try."

Chen Ao knew in his heart that the so-called five tribes of Hengshan and Xixia were more of a relationship with Xixia and did not really surrender. Now that the war between Jin and Xia has begun, these Hengshan troops cannot be used by Xixia, and will be a great trouble in the future, so this time it must be a move.

Chen Ao said lightly: "The Supreme Emperor is in a bad condition. How can he go to take risks in person? If you want to go, let me go."

Everyone in the palace was shocked, and Li Ganshun said: "No, this Longxing Mansion also requires you, the Regent, to sit in the seat, and you are a Han person..."

Chen Ao interrupted, "Since I am the Regent and in charge of the military affairs of the Western Xia, I naturally should go. The Supreme Emperor can sit in the capital. The Ministry of War will immediately mobilize food and fodder, so that Wuda and Li Qing can temporarily take 20,000 cavalry northwards. The King from the Horse Army will write a letter to let them go as soon as possible. If the King talks about the Hengshan Army, the three armies will meet together in Qilian Mountains and Yanzhi Mountains."

Chen Ao paused and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is another thing. I have said that the emperor's grandson's name is Chen Zhi. On the other side of the Ministry of Rites, print the jade plate immediately."

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. He just talked about the Jurchens, and later talked about the five tribes of Hengshan, but suddenly he turned to the title of the emperor. The regent's thinking was really impossible to catch up with.

Li Ganshun nodded in anticipation to Chen Ao, and agreed with Chen Ao's tone, and said, "Since that's the case, then follow what the Regent said. Reinforcements should be done sooner rather than later, and do not delay."

Yang Zhen and others quit.

Only Li Ganshun and Shen Ao were left in the warm pavilion. Li Ganshun glanced at Chen Ao and said, "The leader of the Shane clan, Gui Zhihuan, is the most alert and decisive. Three years ago, I sent an envoy to recruit warriors of the five clans, but because of the Shane clan's taboo, he said something that should not be said, and was killed on the spot by the Gui Zhihuan. Be careful and pay attention to your words and deeds."

Chen Ao said in surprise: "You dare to kill the envoy, your Majesty will indulge them like this?"

Li Ganshundao: "The five clans once had an agreement with the national tribe. Although they were dependent, they were not subordinate. Moreover, the Western Xia was surrounded by enemies. If civil strife caused by this, it would only give the Khitan, Song Dynasty, Tubo and even the Watshu people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Chen Ao immediately understood. Speaking of Xixia, not only does birds not shit, but also enemies from all directions. None of them can be easily provoked. Fortunately, the people of Xixia could persevere until the end to be eliminated by the *** people. Just this undefeated spirit is worthy of being an immortal young strongman.'

Li Ganshun continued: "Among these five clans, the one who dislikes the Song people the most is the Jenner tribe. The clan leader Li Cheng, whose mother is from a royal family, is the most cunning person, and he should be wary of the most. As for the gifts from the five clans, I will prepare for you. If they refuse to send troops, you should come back immediately. Don't force yourself to stay. These people are unaware of the king's laws and dare to kill anyone."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "No matter what else, when it comes to killing people, the five tribes of Hengshan are still far behind in front of their son-in-law."
