Wang Shao smiled and said, "No, I can't continue to fight."

Di Xiang frowned: "Is the Chief of Staff's army too much?"

Wang Shao shook his head and said, "The loss is within an acceptable range, but the imperial court's order should have been almost here."

Di Xiang widened his eyes: "Chief of Staff, what do you mean is that the court will stop us from continuing to fight?"

Wang Shao nodded.

Di Xiang's face became bad: "Is it because anyone is spreading some remarks? Someone in the court is spreading the things that the Chanzhou Alliance?"

Before the Alliance of Chanzhou, the Liao army arrived in Dingzhou and the two armies confronted each other. At that time, Liaoguo was already in danger of being attacked from both sides.

In November, the Liao army was defeated by the Song army in Shuozhou, and the Liao army of the Kelan army withdrew its troops because of food and grass.

The main force of the Liao army was concentrated at the city of Yingzhou, and the city was attacked day and night. The Song army's guard Ji Yanwo defended the city to death, fighting fiercely for more than ten days without stopping.

Xiao Talin and Xiao Guanyinnu led their troops to conquer Qizhou. Empress Dowager Xiao and others led their troops to join forces to attack Jizhou and Beizhou. The Song Ting "issued to supervise all the troops and the soldiers of Chanzhou Xu to join the Tianxiong Army."

The Liao army conquered Deqing and surrounded Chanzhou on three sides. The Song general Li Jilong guarded the city gate of Chanzhou to the death.

At this moment, Xiao Talin, the commander of the Liao Dynasty, relied on his courage and led dozens of light cavalry to patrol the city of Chanzhou.

Zhang Huan, a general of the Song army, shot and killed Xiao Talin, the commander of Liao Nanjing, with eight ox beds on the front line of Chanzhou. He was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. The morale of the Liao army was frustrated.

At this time, Emperor Zhenzong of Song and his party arrived in Chanzhou.

Kou Zhun urged Emperor Zhenzong of Song to climb the gate tower of the northern city of Chanzhou to show his supervision of the battle. "All the troops shouted long live, and the Śrāvakas had been tens of miles, with a hundred times more momentum."

Emperor Zhenzong of Song personally led the army to boost morale, and there were as many as hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty near Chanzhou.

At this time, the Liao Kingdom encountered certain difficulties, because although their troops were going smoothly this time, the front line was too long and the supply was very difficult. In addition, the lonely army advanced into the heart of the Song Dynasty. If they were defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, as long as the Song Dynasty persisted, the Liao Kingdom could only withdraw its troops in shame, and the Song Dynasty could even defeat the Liao Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Zhao Heng was afraid of the enemy as a tiger. When he received the Empress Dowager of Liao's Kingdom's expression of peace talks, he immediately replied that the Song Dynasty did not like military military force and was willing to reach a reconciliation with Liao. He also sent the Palace Zhicao to use it as an envoy to negotiate peace talks with the Khitan.

After hearing the news, Kou Zhun hurried back to Nancheng to advise Zhao Heng, saying that the Liao Kingdom was at the end of its strength and a great time to defeat them.

Border Defense General Yang Yanzhao also sent someone to write a letter saying that the enemy was trapped and the horse was short, and our army was in high spirits. We should take this opportunity to guard all the important roads, siege the enemy and annihilate them, and then take advantage of the victory to go north and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Unfortunately, Zhao Heng was afraid of the enemy and wanted to make peace. The ministers in the court were also afraid of the Liao Kingdom and expressed their support for the collegial agreement and even joined forces to attack Kou Zhun to support his own troops. Kou Zhun had no choice but to agree to make peace with the Liao Kingdom.

So the Chanyuan Alliance, which had been depressed by the Song people for a hundred years, was signed.

Because this matter comes first, Di Xiang will inevitably have such an idea.

Wang Shao waved his hand quickly: "Our Daxia is not Dasong, I am not saying that."

Di Xiang looked at Wang Shao and waited for him to continue talking.

Wang Shao explained: "Since His Majesty actually controlled the Great Xia, there have been too many big moves. Domestic reforms have captured the Sixth Route in Shaanxi and the Battle of Song and Xia in the area north of the Huai River;

The battles of Liaoxia in annihilated 300,000 Liao troops and recovered the 16 states of Yanyun were each of which were national wars involving hundreds of thousands of troops. You also know how much the Daxia had before. The family was too weak. If His Majesty had not been a great God of Wealth, Daxia would have gone bankrupt long ago.

But even so, Daxia had no way to continue to fight. After capturing Dading Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture, the court would probably prevent us from continuing to expand the war. Do you understand what I said?"

Di Xiang suddenly realized: "So that's it. As for the economic account, my subordinates naturally understand..."

He tskated with a toothache: "...But it would be a pity like this. What a great opportunity!"

Wang Shao smiled and said, "It's indeed a pity. If we can continue to fight, with the strength of our army, it's not a problem to destroy Liao and Song. However, this is not something that can be completed in a year or two. The battle to destroy the country cannot be completed without five or ten years. But can our Daxia maintain a national war of five to ten years?"

Di Xiang said astonished: "How is that possible!"

Wang Shao nodded: "So...and, there are still many messes to be cleaned after the war, to stabilize the occupied areas, develop the economy, deal with rebellions, and build a defense system... Tsk tsk, there are another gold-swallowing monster!"

Then even Di Xiang was confused: "I really didn't know how to spend money like this before. I always joked with people that Your Majesty is too leisurely every day. We are fighting the battles. The government affairs are Su, Zhang, Lu and others. I didn't expect His Majesty to bear such great pressure."

Wang Shao laughed.

"You don't have to worry about Your Majesty. Who is your Majesty? That's the number one great God of Wealth in the world. As long as Your Majesty wants to make money, there is nothing you can't make. Just be careful. When the war stops, Your Majesty should wave his treasure pot and start to help Daxia make money!"

When Di Xiang heard this, he scratched his scalp and smiled: "That's right, let Your Majesty worry anyway."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Don’t worry about financial issues, but you still have to care about military issues. This is their responsibility after all.

The two began to discuss and talked about how to overcome the problem of Dading Mansion, but they only exchanged some opinions. This is not the focus, but the focus is on the future issue.

Liaoyang Prefecture is the key to the next plan. It must be obtained before the imperial court orders, and it will be easier to fight against Liao Kingdom in the future. Moreover, Wang Shao is still staring at Goryeo.

Goryeo, a small country, has a small country, but it is always so easy to take it off. At that time, it will be connected with Japan, and it will be the best place to become China's territory together.

But in fact, this is not even the focus. The focus is on the matter after the truce. The places occupied must be kept. To establish a defense system based on the Great Wall as the core, this matter is not that simple. It not only requires a lot of money, grain and manpower, but also requires precise military considerations.

As for whether they would return these areas when they negotiated with Liao Kingdom, this is not a question they considered, and they didn’t think the court would agree to return it. Isn’t this funny? If I take it, you will repay it if you say I’ll pay it back?

As the saying goes, you still want to get what I have obtained by competing for strength... Well, I won't give it to you!
