Chapter 781: Wang Wushan's Plan Has Great Possibilities
Chapter 781
"In addition... my grandson also received emergency military information from Hedong Road, Hebei East Road, and Hebei West Road. The Liao army on all sides was frequently mobilized, and there was a tendency to gather large troops. Now, in addition to the Han Xianggong on Hedong Road, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road both hope that the court court could immediately dispatch the imperial guards to provide assistance..."
Hearing Zhao Xu's introduction, Gao Taotao's narrowed eyes suddenly opened. "The border between Liao and our Song Dynasty has been stable for decades. Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road have always been guarding him. The court makes great efforts every year and spends a lot of money to consolidate the defenses of these roads."
"In the past, every year when I had to send officials to inspect the frontier, weren't these civil and military officials in the border areas very ambitious and reported to the court that they were strong and strong, so could they compete with the Liao army's advance southward? Why have they now turned into a bunch of turtles shrank again?"
"Tell them that no soldiers or soldiers in the court will be given to them. If there is any mistake in the frontier, the Ai family will settle these old accounts with them!"
Gao Taotao was so angry that he forgot that he no longer ruled the country from behind the curtain, and even blurted out such threats.
"Don't worry, the grandson knows what to do. Wang Wushan faced hundreds of thousands of Liao and Xia coalition forces, without fear, was willing to fall into danger, and was willing to live and die with the soldiers and people of Youzhou. However, the civil and military officials on the border were frightened and trembled just because of the mobilization of the Liao Kingdom's troops and horses, and repeatedly asked for reinforcements." Gao Taotao's anger was also conveyed to Zhao Xu's heart, and he was also very angry. The national strength of the Liao Kingdom is only just like the Song Dynasty.
As the Song Dynasty was rich, a large amount of military expenditure was provided to border towns every year, allowing them to rectify their military facilities and consolidate their border defense. In the end, the Liao Kingdom had a slight movement, which scared them and a group of quails in the autumn wind, trying to bury their heads into their crotch and tremble.
"Yes, if I could have more loyal and upright ministers like Wang Wushan, why would the Song Dynasty have this..." Gao Taotao couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Suddenly, Gao Taotao became excited again. "Although Wang Wushan is a man who acts boldly and seems to be arbitrary, he can always get rid of danger. And judging from his words in his letter, he seems very sure that he can defend Youzhou."
Zhao Xu nodded. "Wang Wushan means to use Youzhou as a fulcrum to firmly hold back the main force of the Liaoxia coalition, and to gain enough time for our Song Dynasty to dispatch troops and generals. And our Song Dynasty troops were slowly advancing from all over and oppressing them."
"The Liaoxia coalition seems to be powerful, but in Wangwushan's view, first of all, the Liao army was 60,000, and the remaining 170,000 were all soldiers of many tribes in the north.
According to information, these 170,000 troops belong to more than 30 different northern tribes. If the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia are included, it would be really messy..."
"Especially those tribes, although they are brave and good at fighting, they are just conflicts and fighting between tribes and are good at field battles. When they encounter a fortress like Yuzhou, as long as they experience several setbacks, they will definitely be timid, fearing that their soldiers and horses will be deliberately consumed by Bei Liao."
"In addition, as long as Youzhou can persist in holding on for more than ten days, once the borders advance, the people of Xixia will inevitably withdraw at least some of their troops in order to protect Yinxia and the states..."
Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Gao Taotao couldn't help but take the letter and read it carefully. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he held back his anger and said angrily. "Is this bastard really treating himself as a god? I always feel that everything in the world will be as he expected..."
"The emperor's grandmother and granddaughter-in-law think that although that Mr. Wushan is not a god, he is probably not much inferior to the gods in terms of extreme plans." Empress Meng said with a serious expression on her face.
"Oh? I didn't expect that Zi Tong, you have more confidence in Wang Wushan than me?" Zhao Xu looked at the queen in surprise and couldn't help but smile.
"Official family, don't you think that every time Mr. Wushan wants to do something, everyone will look at him with a doubt or doubt in advance."
"After all, Mr. Wushan's actions are often beyond people's expectations, and sometimes they can even be said to be a departure from the scriptures and judgments."
"But the problem is that in the end, the facts will always prove that Mr. Wushan is the one who made the correct judgment, and others will only realize it after the husband has done that step, or when things have come to fruition, that's it."
Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu listened to the gentle tone of Queen Meng, but said something that seemed absurd but actually said the truth.
He couldn't help but see each other. Even the old driver, like the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, was shocked. After thinking for a long time, Gao Taotao slowly breathed a breath. "The Ai family has never thought about it well. They always felt that this kid was taking risks and begging for a while, but when they think about it carefully, it seems that it really has some meaning, as if he had already been confident before he did things."
"Then the emperor, how about we continue to trust Wang Wushan this time?" Zhao Xu picked up the letter and carefully studied the confrontation inside, especially Wang Yang's suggestions on how the Song Dynasty should respond after Youzhou was besieged.
"What does his letter mean? Hold on for a month so that there is enough time for me, the Song Dynasty, can calmly dispatch troops and generals to find the place of Yinxia?" Gao Taotao took the letter handed over by Zhao Xu and reread the section, unable to help but feel amused and crying.
"This kid really doesn't take his safety seriously. We are worried about his safety here. He still has the time to worry about whether my Song Dynasty can take this opportunity to seize the land of Longzhou and Yinzhou?"
"But the premise of everything is that Wang Wushan can really hold on in Youzhou and restrain most of the troops of the Liao and Xia coalition.
If the 80,000 imperial guards sent by the court no longer directly assisted Youzhou, but went directly to the hinterland of Yinzhou through the Suide army, it would be really a surprise to attack him."
"Yinzhou is in a loss, Shizhou is close at hand, and Longzhou is equivalent to being locked at the bottom of my pocket by the Song Dynasty, completely separated from the Western Xia and being slaughtered by the Song Dynasty.
If I were General Xia, I would definitely lead this support. Otherwise, if I lost these three states, there would be no room for movement in the southeast of Xixia. Just one left-wing Divine Army Office would probably not be able to become brave no matter how hard it was."
Zhang Feng, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor who was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace was standing in front of the map and talking, his eyes were full of brilliant colors. Although there were not many spectators in front of him, only the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and the Emperor Zhao Xu, Zhang Feng was keenly aware of a big problem.
