Chapter 12 Liang Yi is buried!

Xixia.

Liang Yi broke through the numerous ambushes of the Song army and finally returned to Xingqing. The frightened Queen Mother Liang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her younger brother bringing troops back.

There is no way, Xingqing is too close to Song Realm.

The founding of the Western Xia Kingdom was like a thorn in the throat for the Song Dynasty, but wasn’t the Western Xia trembling?

Xingqing is so close to the Song Dynasty and is always under the threat of the Song army. Once the Song army has the idea of ​​actively expanding the border, the Xixia Mountains and the West will be trembling.

Although Xixia showed an aggressive attitude towards sending her, it was actually a helpless move.

The Song and Xia countries have wins and losses in military terms. Whoever takes the initiative to attack and enters the other's transit will suffer greater losses.

This time, the reason why Liang Yimeng broke into the Song Dynasty hundreds of kilometers was actually a retaliatory counterattack, and of course he also had the idea of ​​looting.

This action was considered to achieve the purpose of revenge. In fact, I couldn't grab any good things in the Song Dynasty, which had been firm and cleared for many years. Instead, after the Song army's ambush, the army buried by Liang Yi also suffered a great loss.

But he had to do this, because if the Song army took the initiative to provoke and Xixia did not react, the Song army generals would definitely be even more excessive.

As for Liang Yiban, he also has his own considerations.

Liang Yimang and Empress Dowager Liang are siblings. Empress Dowager Liang is Li Liangzuo's wife, but her background is not right. She was originally Li Liangzuo's lover, but she was promoted to the position of Empress Dowager by Li Liangzuo.

After Li Liangzuo's death, Empress Dowager Liang ruled from behind the scenes. In order to control the government, she promoted her younger brother Liang Yi to the prime minister.

However, the country in Xixia is not so peaceful.

Wei Minglangyu is the clan brother of Xia Jingzong Li Yuanhao, the uncle of the young emperor Li Bingchang, and Lao Yu of the military. He is a member of the royal family of Xixia. In other words, this is the Gancheng of the Xixia Kingdom.

As the uncle of the young emperor Li Bingchang, as a member of the Li family's royal family, Wei Minglangyu naturally supported the young emperor. Wei Minglangyu was in charge of military power and was afraid of Liang's siblings, so Liang's siblings killed Wei Minglangyu.

However, the Dangxiang nobles within the Xixia were not so easy to subdue.

In order to win the support or confrontation of the Dangxiang nobles, the Liang siblings continued to carry out foreign rituals and launched wars. Only in this way, Liang Yi was able to lead the domestic army and guide domestic attention to the national war.

The best way to transfer internal conflicts is foreign war.

To keep the position firm, Empress Dowager Liang must have martial arts. Only by leading the Xixia people to conquer cities and territory, expand territory, and establish military performance can the legitimacy of the rule be consolidated.

This is also the only thing that Queen Mother Liang and the Liang relatives could take out.

However, this time I was beaten and fled in a panic. After returning to China, I naturally encountered many questions, and some people even wanted to attack this.

However, after several years of operation, Liang Yi's status as a sibling has been quite stable, and it is not too dangerous.

Therefore, Liang Yi Ben still has the energy to pay attention to the affairs of Song Realm.

There are many Dangxiang people in the Song realm, so it is easy for Liang Yi to know the things in the Song realm. Whether it is sending spies over or directly buying them in the Song realm, it is a relatively simple thing.

After returning to Xingqing, news about Song Realm kept coming.

All kinds of news came, making Liang Yi buried his siblings nervous.

Overhaul the official road, build castles, mobilize troops... What is the Song army going to do? Do they still want to continue the war?

But it is normal. This time, Liang Yi buried the country and not only rushed into the Song Dynasty hundreds of miles, but also killed many powerful Song Dynasty officials. This was a great humiliation for the Song people, and it was normal for the Song people to take revenge.

Liang Yimeng did not dare to be careless, so he quickly prepared the army and prepared for defense.

There is no way. After this time, he did not dare to take the initiative. This time he was repelled by the Song Dynasty. His soldiers and generals complained a lot and their morale was even lower. Not to mention taking the initiative, many generals treated the matter of preparing for war in the army.

There was no way, Liang Yimang could only increase the rewards and killed some people, which boosted the morale of the army.

Because the army was not very stable, Liang Yimeng did not dare to leave easily and personally took charge of the army.

Xixia's primary school population is only more than 2 million, but when fighting to the fullest, six or seven hundred thousand soldiers could participate in the war. In fact, it is a national system where the whole nation is full of soldiers. Therefore, controlling the army means controlling the whole country.

Liang Yi was buried in charge of the central army while listening to news about the Song Dynasty.

The central army's tent was brightly lit, and Liang Yi's confidants were buried in Roman tails and Liang Yi's affairs were discussed under the lamp.

"The Prime Minister, according to the spy's return, the State of Song built a large-scale construction and built roads everywhere. The road it built was said to be a cement road. This road was mixed with a powder called cement, which was thick and mud-like. After a few days, it solidified and formed. The harder it became, and the sharper the blade could not enter.

The official road made by cement is flat as water surface. The four-wheeled horse carriage is loaded with more than ten stones, running like flying on it, without any sensation of bumps.

Now, in addition to the three main roads of Hezhong Prefecture-Yan'an Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture-Qingzhou, and Jingzhao Prefecture-Qingzhou, Yongxing Jun Road are under construction, and there are also official roads connecting each state, such as Qingzhou-Ningzhou, Qingzhou-Huanzhou, Qingzhou-Yuanzhou, Qingzhou-Wingzhou, Qingzhou-Jingzhou, Qingzhou-Zhenrong Army, and Qingzhou-Baoan Army, which are also being built.

Once these roads are built, the time for exchanges between states will be greatly reduced, and mutual support will be greatly accelerated. It may be possible to gather in a few days, which will pose a great threat to our army."

Liang Yi buried his face with a gloomy face. He nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. The route between the official roads is fixed. If the Song army dares to rush for help like this, it will be beneficial for us to ambush.

But as you said, it seems very convenient to turn this cement into pieces. So can it be used on the fortress?"

Du Roma Tai frowned and said, "I have never heard of this. The spy heard in Qingzhou City that the Privy Council of Song State wanted to build a fortress, but he did not find out in detail. It seemed to be spreading between a group of merchants."

Liang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Businessman?"

Du Romawei nodded and said, "It's strange to say that there are many merchants from the mainland of Song Dynasty gathered in Qingzhou City now. They are all wealthy merchants, and they are said to be summoned by the new magistrate."

Liang Yima seemed to realize something when he heard this, and nodded at Du Roma's tail: "Tell me carefully."

Du Luo Mawei quickly reported the information he knew to Liang Yimeng, and Liang Yimeng showed a thoughtful expression.

Du Romawei quickly asked, "What did the Prime Minister discover?"

Liang Yi said: "You said the new Gyeongju magistrate is Ouyang Bian who wrote about Mingyue when?"

Du Roma nodded.
