Chapter 411: Killing two birds with one stone!

Chapter 411: Kill two birds with one stone!

Zhao Yunzhen issued an order to reward Ximen Qing for his merit in conquering Liao, so that Ximen Qing would not be good at moving and stationed outside the city. Ximen Qing wanted to see what conspiracy Zhao Yunzhen was playing, and also wanted to make a king of different surnames, so he was calm and did not rush to attack the city.

The next day, Wu Yong hurriedly found Ximen Qing who was reading a book in the tent.

Wu Yong said: "Commander, you have figured out Zhao Yuntian's trick!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Ximen Qing said in surprise.

Wu Yong sat down and said, "Sir, Zhao Yunzhen wants to reward you, so he is naturally delaying time. He has a plan to delay time, and he wants to eat us in one fell swoop. But there are too few people in the capital and he can't swallow it, so he needs soldiers from other places to help him. According to my investigation, the local troops in this surrounding area are all remnants, and they are all in the hands of some local forces. They open their eyes to Zhao Yunzhen's will, so it is too difficult for him to call soldiers to attack us! So he will find another way. And this way to find another way is to form an alliance with the rebel forces!"

"The rebel forces form an alliance? Now in the Song Dynasty, the rebels who can get on the table are too bad. How could they confront our Liangshan... Huh? Wait, what do you mean by Tang Tianheng?!" Ximen Qing's expression gradually turned from doubt to shock.

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, use Tang Tianheng's Tang army! It was a mistake not to destroy the Tang army last time. The Tang army approached our Liangshan headquarters. As long as our Liangshan headquarters encounters an attack, how can we attack the capital? The base camp is lost, what else can we talk about invasion?"

Ximen Qing sighed: "Yes, I have ignored this matter. Scholar, do you have any solutions?"

Wu Yong paced and thought for a while.

Suddenly, Wu Yong said: "The commander, the three most influential forces in the Song Dynasty are our Liangshan, Zhao Yunzhen, and Tang Tianheng. Even if we take down the capital, we still need to go north to attack Tang Tianheng. After a lot of trouble, it will take more than half a year or even several years, and then the people will continue to suffer. So, if we can take down Zhao Yunzhen and Tang Tianheng in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "The scholars said it very well, just how to defeat Tang Tianheng?"

Wu Yong smiled while stroking his beard and regained his expression of control. He said, "Commander, we are only worried, but we forgot the defense measures of Liangshan headquarters! Tang Tianheng returned to Hebei to develop. Over the past months, even if he expanded his troops, he would be at most 200,000, and his troops were still uneven. 200,000 attacked Liangshan headquarters. He would not be jokingly said that he was not qualified. We had artillery attacks and large ships attacks. Tang army wanted to attack the mountain with a small boat, but it was a bit difficult. Moreover, Liangshan stayed at him.

There are 50,000 or 60,000 people, which can better protect Liangshan River. Of course, if Tang Tianheng uses conspiracy and intrigue, he will eventually take down Liangshan River River, but it will take a long time. We cannot rush back, but the commander should not forget that there are brothers from the four camps in Tanzhou, Jizhou, Bazhou and Youzhou in Liao territory! According to Yue Feilai, each of the four camps has increased to 50,000. They will be transferred to the first and second camps to guard Liangshan River. In this way, Tang Tianheng's conspiracy and intrigue will not work!"

Ximen Qing was overjoyed and said, "Yes, I forgot the troops left in Liao. In Liao, with Bazhou and Youzhou as barriers, the troops of Tanzhou and Jizhou can be deployed greatly. By the way, we can also use a plan. As long as Tang Tianheng dares to attack Liangshan River, let him attack. When he attacks vigorously, we will let Yang Zhi, who is guarding Jizhou, leads troops to surround the Tang army from the rear, and let Jie Zhen, who is guarding Tanzhou, leads his troops to capture Hebei and get rid of Tang Tianheng's old nest. In this way, hum, I see how the Tang army still jumps!"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "The commander's plan is good. The Yellow Bird is behind and the foundation is cut off. At that time, the Tang army will not only not be able to defeat our Liangshan Shuipo, but will also be defeated and lost the headquarters. At that time, I will see where he will go!"

Ximen Qing nodded and then quickly attracted Dai Zong.

"Commander, what's the point of asking me?" Dai Zong asked.

Ximen Qing hurriedly said, "I want to send you back to Liangshan and inform Zhu Wu to put him on guard to prevent Tang Tianheng from leading his troops to attack Shuibo. After telling Zhu Wu, you should go to Jizhou and Tanzhou again, inform Yang Zhi, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao to prepare, and let Yang Zhi lead his troops back to defend Liangshan Shuibo. However, he should warn him that he would lead the army to attack from the rear of the Tang army after the Tang army began to attack Liangshan Shuibo. He should also warn Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, let them go to Hebei, and after all the Tang army was dispatched, they would continue to the Tang army headquarters. He should tell them to see the right time before taking action!"

Dai Zong looked shocked, and did not expect Ximen Qing to say these words. But soon, Dai Zong figured it out, then clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, commander, even if Dai Zong was exhausted, he would pass the news to them in time!"

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Then it's hard for brother Dai Zong!"

"What the commander says? I won't work hard! I will say goodbye, clean up and go back to the Liangshan Riverside!" Dai Zong said.

After saying that, Dai Zong went down to prepare.

Ximen Qing smiled and said to Wu Yong: "What we need to do now is to see how Zhao Yunzhen uses the benefits to delay us! Haha..."

Wu Yong nodded while stroking his beard and said, "That's right. In my opinion, in order to make us moved, Zhao Yunzhen is sure to sign you as a king of a different surname. However, the process of signing a king should be a little twists and turns. Zhao Yunzhen is so proud that signing you as a king is to surrender. How can he resist his anger?"

Ximen Qing said: "Yes, but he can't help it. For the sake of great cause, if he can't even resist this little anger, hum, I really look down on him!"

"That's right!" Wu Yong nodded and responded.

At this moment, Yue Fei came to report outside the tent and said that the three people who came to pay homage yesterday led a large number of eunuchs, palace maids, and guards to ask for a meeting again.

Wu Yong smiled and said to Ximen Qing: "Commander, here we are here!"

Ximen Qing stood up from his seat and smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go out to welcome him this time!"

As he said that, he and Wu Yong left the Central Army camp.

When he arrived at the gate of the village, Ximen Qing glanced at everyone before looking at the middle-aged man and asked, "Why are you here again?"

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Master Pioneer, today Your Majesty has given you a title in the court! Master Ximen, please contact me!"

"I still want me to kneel?" Ximen Qing was stunned, then cursed inwardly, then waved his hand and said, "Remember!"

Seeing that Ximen Qing had no intention of kneeling down to accept the order, the middle-aged man twitched his mouth and then pretended not to see it. If he had opened the memorial, he would read the emperor's oral order:

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Ximen Qing is a filial piety, kindness to the people, loyalty to the country, and loyalty to the people. He is a model for the people. During his tenure as the Liao army, he led the Liangshan army to bravely fight, defeated the elite Liao Kingdom and killed enemy generals. He made countless royal relatives, so that the Liao Kingdom did not dare to offend our borders, occupied the four prefectures of the Liao Kingdom, and made great contributions to our Song Dynasty. Ximen Qing was specially granted the title of "King of Han", and his Liangshan troops and horses were the Han army. He issued a verbal remark to show the emperor's kindness - this!"

Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows and then smiled and said, "I will accept the order!"

As he said that, he waved his hand and Wu Yong took the memorial from the middle-aged man.

At this time, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince, the oral order has been read. Next, please follow me to Beijing to thank you!"
