Chapter 489 The Queen Mother's Plan!(1/2)
If someone else said this, it would definitely cause everyone to turn their heads and be angry.
Because everyone present is the ministers in the court, there is also Emperor Li Ganshun here.
Their business plan cannot tolerate others gossiping.
However, the person who came was Li Ganshun's mother, which is different.
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang walked slowly in luxurious clothes, her skirt was dragged on the ground, and a group of palace maids served her, with a very big stand.
Her face, if she can be the queen, is naturally not bad for her, even though she is old, she can still see her appearance when she was young.
The tall mountain peak could no longer be bound by clothes, and it jumped out like a volcano was about to erupt.
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's facial features were solemn and majestic, and unquestionable eyes.
"See the Queen Mother!"
Everyone saluted all the Empress Dowager when they saw him and respectfully. Li Ganshun quickly said, "See the Queen Mother!"
Seeing the Queen Mother, some court officials felt a little timid.
Queen Mother Xiao Liang was also an extremely fierce character in history.
Still have some background!
In history, Li Ganshun was only a few years old when he ascended the throne.
Liang also changed from empress to empress dowager.
In order to distinguish her mother-in-law, Queen Liang, she was called Queen Liang in history.
After Xiao Liang was in charge, he slashed at her brother Liang Yi-bing for the first time. The reason was very simple. Liang Yi-bing wanted to lock her in the harem and took power alone.
However, before he could take action, Xiao Liang learned the news.
She joined forces with the general Wei Ming Abang to kill Liang Yibi's family at a speed of thunder and clear the obstacles for herself.
Her mother-in-law is also her aunt, Empress Dowager Liang, and her idol.
Empress Dowager Liang was in power for eighteen years and was hired by him on the battlefield for thousands of miles of battle. The generals on the battlefield were timid and majestic!
Which is worse than her mother-in-law?
She wanted to launch the biggest war to prove that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was better than her, and even better than her mother-in-law.
She collected 400,000 troops, claiming to be one million, so she took the emperor to the army in person.
She had carefully prepared this war. Before that, the Western Xia army abducted a large number of craftsmen from the Song State and built thousands of building cars and rushing cars, which were advanced weapons for siege.
In addition, she used the strategies and tactics of hitting the east and attacking the west by learning the Han military books.
The 400,000 army stretched for hundreds of miles, with flags covering the sky and the sound of drums and horns shaking the sky and the earth.
Her purpose was to conquer Pingxia City like her mother-in-law attacked Yongle City, and completely conquer the Song army.
After Xiao Liang was still confident. In the battle of Yongle City, the Xixia army had only 300,000 troops. As a result, they captured Yongle City. Xu Xi, the chief general of the Song army, was killed, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were either killed or captured.
And she has 400,000 troops this time, how can she be invincible?
This time, the commander of the Song army was named Zhang Feng, who was a civil servant who was born in Jinshi.
He found his beloved generals Guo Cheng and Zhe Keshi and said: I will give you 20,000 troops, and you must ensure that you will be foolproof in Pingxia City.
Guo and Zhe looked at each other in a row. The enemy soldiers were 400,000, and only 20,000 were allowed to defend the city?
When Zhang Shuai saw the two questions, he explained: Don’t worry, two generals, there are still 180,000 soldiers around you to support you at any time. However, I will not send troops unless I am absolutely sure. At present, the enemy is in a strong morale. If you fight hard with them, you have no chance of winning.
I will send troops to strengthen the walls behind the enemy. Within half a month, the enemy's food and grass will be exhausted.
By then, the Xixia army can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
As the coach explained, the two became confident.
Zhang Shuai reminded him again: The burden of success or failure of this battle is on both of them.
After the battle started, the situation was much crueler than expected. The people of Xixia were like ants, relying on building cars to climb up the city, hitting the city gate with rushing cars, and almost attacking the city several times.
They also dug tunnels and drilled into the city from under the walls.
However, Guo and Zhe were powerful generals who had been through the battlefield. They repelled the enemy's attacks again and again based on the advantages of the city wall.
At night, he also sent a small group of troops out of the city to harass the enemy, making the enemy uneasy day and night.
Thirteen days later, the Xixia army could not receive the food and grass, and a strong wind happened to blow. The wind blew the sand and stones, and the Xixia carts were blowing down.
The Xixia army was in chaos for a moment.
At this moment, reinforcements came from all directions, shouting and killing were earth-shaking.
The exhausted Xixia army suddenly became frightened birds and rushed to escape to their nests.
On the way back, they were buried within 700 miles of Qingbi, with no food or accommodation. They could only run to Tiandu Mountain, the old nest overnight.
The remaining soldiers of Xixia who fled back to Tiandu Mountain were tired and hungry, and they killed cattle and sheep and had a full meal.
Just as they were drinking, the Song army surrounded Weiming Ambia's tent like the heavenly soldiers and generals. Weiming Ambia and Meile were captured, captured more than 3,000 Western Xia troops and seized more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.
It turned out that after defeating the Xixia army, Zhang Qi organized 20,000 elite cavalry overnight, divided into six columns, and ran thousands of miles to attack the Dangxiang people's nest. Without the Dangxiang people's preparation and unaware, it dealt a fatal blow to the Xixia army.
When Queen Xiaoliang saw the army defeat, she burst into tears. After she fled back with makeup, she wrote a letter to the Liao Kingdom, complaining that the Liao army was standing by and watching. However, the Liao Emperor united with Li Qianshun and brought her a glass of poisonous wine and forced her to drink it.
Since then, after two generations of Liang Hou's autocracy, power has returned to Li Yuanhao's great-grandson Li Qianshun.
But because the Liao Kingdom no longer exists, some changes have occurred in the Xixia area.
Although Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is still in power, Li Qianshun can still speak with his own scenes.
It was only when it was critical that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang would come out.
For example this time.
Li Qianshun: "Mother, do you disagree with the assassination of the Wu prime minister of the Song Dynasty?"
In front of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, he was still very obedient.
Although I felt a little unhappy.
After she came, everyone followed the Queen Mother's opinion.
After Empress Dowager Xiao Liang sat down, she said: "It's not that she can't assassinate Wu Zhi, but that assassination of Wu Zhi is difficult. This man is brave and good at fighting, and he is in Bianjing, so he is not that easy to kill!"
"The Queen Mother means..."
The Minister of Military Affairs said in confusion.
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's eyes flashed with a cold light: "It's okay to kill Wu Zhi, but this can only be considered one. The most important thing is to capture the wife, wife, concubine, or children of the Wu family. This is a second-hand preparation."
"As long as you capture Wu Zhi's family, even if Wu Zhi has great skills, he will not dare to deal with me, Xixia, so he will naturally be honest."
When the prime minister heard this, he immediately felt that this idea was good: "Compared to assassinating Wu Zhi, it should be easier to catch his family, but the effect is no less than killing Wu Zhi. His relatives are in our hands. Wu Zhi will be afraid even if he fights Xixia in the future.
Besides, if we can threaten him with this, he dare not be arrogant. Without Wu Zhi's leadership, who can be the opponent of Xixia? As for Yue Fei, we can also take such measures."
When everyone heard the empress dowager's unethical proposal, they all felt it made sense.
It may be difficult to kill Wu Zhi and the others, but Wu Zhi's family is not a general on the battlefield, so they always come out.
As long as they come out, they will be caught.
At that time, you can threaten Wu Zhi and dare not act rashly.
Then Yue Fei and the others would also take action. The last time it was because Yue Fei beat them and they were defeated one after another.
General Wei Ming Awu also thought the Empress Dowager's method was good: "The Empress Dowager is so wise, I fully agree with this method!"
"Then make preparations, kill Wu Zhi and capture his family again, so is Yue Fei! If Wu Zhi dies, it doesn't matter if his family is not dead. If he captures his family and captures them into our Xixia. Wu Zhi will not dare to act rashly at that time. What else can the Song Dynasty fight us?"
Everyone looked at each other and thought this idea was a good idea.
Seeing everyone agreeing, the Empress Dowager immediately said: "You must be cautious in this matter, remember to show off your strength and send some smart killers over. Wu Zhi and Yue Fei must succeed one! It would be best if they can kill them all!"
"Yes!" Li Ganshun respectfully.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the Empress Dowager left here.
Everyone gave it to you.
It also dispersed.
Next, Li Ganshun will arrange the matters.
This time the escort commander stood up: "Your Majesty, let me send someone to you this time."
Li Ganshun: "You? You failed the matter last time, this time..."
"This time, Weichen will definitely get things done. If he doesn't help, Wu Zhi's relatives will definitely be able to catch a few!"
Li Qianshun looked at the guard commander in front of him. In fact, he knew that the last incident was not entirely his problem, but Wu Zhi was blamed for being too strong.
He sighed: "It is necessary to succeed this time, otherwise we will have no chance."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it. This time, I will deploy a careful plan and will definitely capture Wu Zhi's family."
He may not have the confidence to kill Wu Zhi, and it is not difficult to catch a few relatives.
