Chapter 21: Discussions on the War, Raising the Status of the Warriors

In August of the first year of Baoyuan in the Song Dynasty, three months have passed since the founding of Yuanhao of the Western Xia.

The Bianjing Song Dynasty court fully operated the state machinery in order to establish the Western Xia, and Zhao Lei, who was far away in Hangzhou, was not idle either.

In the study room dedicated to Zhao Lei, the Transportation Order of the Transportation Order, a huge terrain sand table of the terrain of Song Xia, which is six meters long and two meters wide, makes everyone who sees it amazing. This is the result of Zhao Lei's hard work alone. In addition, the five-fold expansion map of Song Xia's border hanging on the south wall of the study room, the entire study room looks no longer much different from the wartime command center.

Around the sand table, Zhao Lei, Su Xun, Pang Bai and Qu Xifan, who were wearing scarlet official robes, were inserting various small flags that represented the various forces on the sand table.

"At a glance, you can see that the sand table of priests is indeed a masterpiece, but the more you know the deployment of Xixia, the more you feel that you are not sure about the war that is about to be born!

The distribution of 500,000 troops in the Western Xia, Yuan Hao deployed 40,000 troops in the Yusiluo, and 60,000 troops in the three prefectures that had just been captured. There were 100,000 troops in the Xia and Liao borders, 50,000 in the Xia and Song Bian Jing, and Xingqing Prefecture also had the most elite Xixia capturing army and other troops. Tsk tsk! The 500,000 troops, and the imperial court sent only 300,000 troops to gather in the three northern routes. With the combat effectiveness of Xia and Song soldiers, I don’t think this is a even war!” Qu Xifan, dressed in a thin and scholar, looked at the sand table made in the middle of the study and frowned.

"The key is the attitude of the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom can be the same as the Song Dynasty, dispatching more than 200,000 troops to the Xia and Liao border, then in addition to Yuan Hao's deployment of troops to guard the Liao Kingdom on the border, it will definitely attract the 50,000 to 100,000 Xixia troops from Xingqing Prefecture. In this way, only 150,000 to 200,000 troops from the 300,000 troops from the Song Dynasty. As long as these Western Xia troops are held, let the Yangsi Luo and Hui Yu attack Xixia with all their strength. In a time, the battlefield situation will change rapidly, and there will be unexpected changes at that time! I am afraid that the people of the imperial court will also pay attention, so they have great sincerity to unite the Three Kingdoms to attack Xia!" Pang Bai, with a fat and round face, looked at the sand table with a sinister smile and said in a low voice.

"If the court really puts his ideas on the tribes that have no real power in Dangxiang, they may be disappointed this time. Those tribes are always Dangxiang people, and the interests of the country are clearly divided. Even if they wish Yuan Hao died, they will definitely not take action when Xixia faces foreign enemies. Dangxiang people from tribes value Dangxiang's future more than Yuan Hao. Even if Xixia loses in this war, those people will not only not add to the insult. I am afraid they will also provide timely help!" Zhao Lei retorted without any regard for Pang Bai's words.

"The court probably really has to make a mistake this time. Putting the chips on the internal strife within the enemy is a mistake in itself!" Qu Xifan also agreed with Zhao Lei's opinion and nodded in agreement.

"In fact, no matter what the result of the war is, as long as the war starts. The court has achieved its political goals. The Song Dynasty has undoubtedly only one goal to unite the Three Kingdoms to attack Xixia this time, showing the power of the Song Dynasty to the vassal states around the Song Dynasty. As long as the Liao Kingdom, the Ye Sila and Hui Feng send troops, it has proved that the Song Dynasty's influence on these countries in diplomacy has been proved that the Song Dynasty has a diplomatic influence on these countries, and the war is only the last means of deterrence. Fu Bi Fu Fu is very loud and the raindrops are very correct. As long as the fight starts, as long as the Three Kingdoms sends troops, it proves that the Song Dynasty has influence on other countries and the national strength of the Song Dynasty itself. As for the war, it is probably not as fierce as imagined. The court is just teaching Xixia a lesson now. It does not have the ability to destroy Xixia, so the water in this war will be very large!" Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and Pang Bai with a faint smile, and Qu Xifan said.

When Zhao Lei heard the words of Su Xun, Qu Xifan and Pang Bai, he began to sigh at the difference between the three of them.

In Zhao Lei's eyes, the three aides around him each have their own strengths. Su Xun has a strong overall view and can analyze things from a strategic perspective. The upcoming war has not yet begun. Su Xun has seen the court's intentions and the trend of the war. Not only that, Su Xun is also proficient in military affairs. Commanding and setting up formations may not be his strength, but giving advice is definitely the only choice for the counselors around Zhao Lei.

In Zhao Lei's eyes, Pang Bai, a sinister and liking fat man, looked like Jia Xu during the Three Kingdoms, who was good at protecting himself and was sinister and vicious. Although he had not had the chance to make a comeback after following Zhao Lei, his character could be seen from his usual actions. When Bian Jing was not demoted to Hangzhou, Pang Bai proposed to Zhao Lei to secretly send the advanced weapons of the Xinjunming to Xia Liao to frame Chen Yaozuo, Chen Xiliang and other officials of the Privy Council. Although Zhao Lei refused, it can be seen that Pang Bai's viciousness was obvious.

Qu Xifan is the most low-key among the three. He has an extreme personality and a narrow mind. Although his strategic vision is not as good as Su Xun and his insidious as Pang Bai, Qu Xifan is tough enough. No matter what he does, Qu Xifan has a belief that he will not give up until he achieves his goal, and the things he believes will never change. Such people are most suitable for the most complicated and complicated things. When helping Zhao Lei handle the official affairs of the Transfer Office, Qu Xifan made the most efforts. At the same time, he is also the only person among the three who can withstand boring work and buried his occupancy all day.

After sighing at the different personalities of the three aides around him, Zhao Lei looked at the sand table in front of him and said in a deep voice: "In fact, this war is not without a chance to defeat Xixia. Don't forget that the current Yasila is no longer the Yasila used to be. After the Yasila defeated the invading army of Xixia in succession, Yasila has become one of the most powerful tribes in the Tufan. First, the Panluo branch and the Uighur tribe surrendered, which not only healed the trauma of the war, but also increased its power, but also occupied it.

According to Qing Tang's 君君, he occupied the important roads of transportation between China and the West. Merchants from various countries in the Western Regions flocked to 君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君君�

"And the second chance of victory in this war is Hui Feng! Hui Feng, who had just seized the city of Yochang from the Black Han Kingdom and defeated the enemies of generations, is now in full swing. The Xixia took advantage of the battle between Hui Feng and the Black Han Kingdom to capture the three states of the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Song Dynasty and would definitely send troops to the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Three States of the Song Dynasty. Even in order to regain the Three States of the Three States of the Song Dynasty, they would agree to the conditions for the alliance of the Song Dynasty and would definitely send troops to the Three States of the Three States of the Cao Family.

.Strive to regain the land of these three states, return to the strong soldiers and horses, and with the help of the yellow-headed Huifeng, it is probably difficult for the 60,000 Xixia troops to guard against the 60,000 Xixia troops to return to the shore, which is not much weaker than Xixia. Once the war begins and the three states of the Cao family fall, Xixia Yuanhao will draw troops and horses to help. This is the best opportunity for the Song Dynasty!” Zhao Lei lit the sand table and the army of Huifeng Kingdom, and said to Su Xun and the other two in a deep voice.

"Sir, right! If the army of Dasila and Hui Feng really attacked the Xixia with all their strength. And the army of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom dragged the main force of the Xixia, then the Song Dynasty could really win a great victory in this war and make the world powerful. However, the premise of this victory is that the Song Dynasty can hold the main force of the Xixia, and it will be delayed at least three months to half a year. Can the Song army do it? I am very suspicious! And the Liao Kingdom will dispatch a large army to drag the main force of the east of the Xixia as we expected. I am even more suspicious, so I am not optimistic about the outcome of this war. The only thing I consider is that the Song Dynasty should not be defeated too miserably." Qu Xifan, who was born in Yizhou in the south, sneered at the combat effectiveness of the Song army, and said with a sneer and disdain.

"Xifan is right! Putting the key to victory and defeat on the Liao Kingdom is even more wrong. Although the relationship between Liao Kingdom and our Song Dynasty is more harmonious than decades ago, it has not yet reached the friendship for the Song Dynasty. Besides, Liao Kingdom is not a sage, Hui Feng and Xixia, and Yuanhao is the son-in-law of Liao Kingdom, and he is also preparing to make the prince born to the Liao Kingdom princess the crown prince. Whether it is a real prince or a fake prince, it is not easy to persuade Liao Kingdom to send troops to attack Xia. Even if Liao Kingdom sends troops, this war will only be six points of victory. If Liao Kingdom does not send troops, it will definitely be defeated but not defeated!" Su Xun nodded and said with affirmative action when he heard Qu Xifan's words.

"Hehe! Actually, I hope that the Liao Kingdom will not send troops. If the Liao Kingdom sends troops, the court will win this war, and then the adults will have no chance to stand out. On the contrary, if the Liao Kingdom does not send troops, the court will fail in the war, and the adults' comeback is a foregone conclusion. I hope that the Liao Kingdom will not send troops. Or maybe the Liao Kingdom will sit in the mountains and watch the battle, and watch the war show. If the Song Dynasty wins, I will attack Xixia, and if the Song Dynasty loses, I will send troops to Song Dynasty!" Pang Bai smiled slightly and said with his sinister thoughts to guess the actions of the Liao Kingdom.

"The Liao Kingdom is not credible. I guess this war will not go so smoothly. The return of lord is definitely a natural thing!" Qu Xifan nodded in agreement with Pang Bai's opinion and said.

"Those are things in the land a few months later. Now Fu Bi has just arrived in Liao Kingdom, and other envoys have just contacted Yu Sila and Hui Feng. They want to complete the alliance to send troops to Xixia. They probably can't do it this year. They have to wait until the spring is coming next year." Zhao Lei shook his head and said in a deep voice at the sand table in front of him.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, Tian Lan walked into the study and handed a copy of the imperial palace newspaper to Zhao Lei and said, "Official! The latest imperial palace newspaper, which I just sent!"

Zhao Lei took the imperial palace newspaper sent by Tian Lan, opened it and read it, sneered and handed it over to Su Xun.

"The court appointed Ye Silatang as the governor of the Baoshun Army! The official family ordered Zeng Gongliang, Ding Du and others to compile the "Martial Jing Zongyao"! The Ministry of Personnel officially joined the Martial Jing from next year's imperial examination! The court officially implemented the prize money and official positions of the soldiers who won the Spring Games of the Song Army two years ago! Isn't this the court cramming for the temporary rush? Only when the war came did I remember to improve the status of the war. What did I do before, but in this way, it would still have a certain impact on the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty!" Su Xun said with a wry smile after reading the imperial court's newspaper.

"The General Essence of Wu Jing": Martial Arts and the implementation of the rewards of the sports meeting, the court was indeed cramming for the moment. It seems that the court also knew that the weakness of the Song army was because the status of the warriors was too low, but since they knew, why not find a way to change it? Is it true that after the Zhao family stole the world with force, they always regarded themselves as thieves. They were so inferior that they dared not delegate power to the soldiers! Zhao Lei thought strangely as he thought about the content in the diary.
