Chapter 16: Leading the Army

"Wu Ji has given me so many ideas. What do you think Wu Ji will have?" Song Shenzong smiled and suddenly asked a question.

The Song Dynasty was able to have this situation today, which was completely driven by Wu Ji. Wu Ji had many ideas. What ideas would Wu Ji come up with in the reform of the army? This is really exciting.

"This...haha, we can only know when Wu Ji's idea appears. You know Wu Ji's idea is unexpected, it's really hard to guess." Wang Anshi pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"That's right!" Song Shenzong also knew that Wu Ji's idea was not that easy to guess: "But one thing is certain that Wu Ji's idea must be useful."

It is easy to use and is the consistent feature of all Wu Ji's ideas.

"Report to the official family, another good news has been reported!" At this moment, a eunuch came in excitedly and submitted the military newspaper in his hand.

"Haha! Don't say it, let me guess it must be Wu Ji's good news!" Song Shenzong was in a good mood. He was so happy that he could not help but laugh, and even teased: "If Wu Ji doesn't send me a good news, hum, let's see how I deal with him!"

He said he wanted to deal with Wu Ji, and his eyes narrowed together. Everyone knew that his butt was happy, and Wang Anshi and the others laughed.

"The official family is wise!" The eunuch also smiled and said a little more: "The official family, Wu Ji has already taken the left wing of the brave army. He went down in one go!"

"A drum down? So fast?" Suddenly sounded, from the mouths of Wang Anshi, Lu Hui and Shao Jiu.

"What is this?" Song Shenzong was not at all: "You don't know that the wonderful method Wu Ji prepared for Zhuozhou was useless. When he used it at the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army, he still went down in one go? You know now, why did Wu Ji dare to attack Zhuozhou? That's because Wu Ji has a complete plan!"

Although the Battle of Zhuozhou has passed, it is still exciting. That battle laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for defeating the Liao Kingdom. As for the wonderful methods prepared by Wu Ji, except for Emperor Shenzong of Song, Wang Anshi knew about it, and Lu Huiqing and others did not know it, and they couldn't help but realize it suddenly.

Song Shenzong browsed the news and couldn't help but frown: "Wu Ji, Wu Ji, you have such a wonderful method to defeat the left warrior army. It's too slow to start!"

He was not satisfied, which really made people unexpectedly. Wang Anshi and the others were speechless.

"The official family, the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army Office is a strong city in Xixia. Liaogou sent out 100,000 elite troops and fought for several months. In the end, he had to withdraw his troops. It was very rare for Wu Ji to defeat the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army Office in such a short time." Wang Anshi hurriedly reminded.

"Haha!" Song Shenzong shook his head while laughing, "I believe that Wu Ji will not only capture the city of Zuoxiang Shenhua Army, but there should be good news. If he only captures Zuoxiang Shenhua Army, then it is not Wu Ji. When have you ever seen Wu Ji win only one victory? If he wants to fight, he will win one after another. This is Wu Ji's usual move!"

There are too many victories, and it is really unexpected that Song Shenzong has such an impression.

"The official family is wise!" As soon as Song Shenzong finished speaking, another eunuch came in with a happy look on his face, holding the military newspaper in his hand: "Wu Ji's good news has arrived again. Wu Ji has captured the Xiangyou Military Office."

This news came too timely, and Song Shenzong was in a good mood. With this news, it would be extremely good. He looked up at the sky and laughed: "Haha! Haha! Look, Wu Ji has sent me a good news again. I'm right? Isn't it?"

Wang Anshi and the others did not answer, but covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Song Shenzong actually had a funny side, as if a child got his beloved toy and needed recognition from others.

Song Shenzong suppressed his smile and took the military newspaper for a while to browse. He was very satisfied. His eyes narrowed together and he nodded, as if he was praising and complaining: "It's great to go to two cities in a row! It's great! If he can defeat Xiazhou, it would be even better!"

People are not satisfied with their hearts, and Wang Anshi and the others kept shaking their heads, disagreeing with the expectations of Song Shenzong.

"It is no longer valuable to have two strong cities in the official family. Xiazhou is not so easy to fight." Wang Anshi had to remind him again, saying: "Xiazhou is the old capital of Xixia. The city is tall and thick, and there are heavy troops stationed. Even if Wu Ji's army can fight, it has been a long time to send troops. After all, the military teacher is exhausted, and it is difficult to fight Xiazhou! It is difficult! It is difficult!"

He said a few difficult words in a row and kept shaking his head.

"Yes!" Lu Huiqing agreed with great support: "Although it is our wish to take down Xiazhou, enter Xingqing Prefecture, and destroy Xixia. However, we also know that it is difficult. To destroy Xixia, the Song Dynasty must have a complete plan, otherwise it will be difficult to destroy. The current situation is very different from the time when Huo Qubing attacked the Hexi Corridor. At that time, the Huns had no cities, but the current Dangxiang people had a strong city, and there must be a hard battle!"

"Well!" Song Shenzong nodded slightly and smiled, "Lu Huiqing, what you are talking about is the truth, but I still believe in Wu Ji, and he has a way to take Xiazhou. I have heard that Xixia has accumulated a large amount of food, grass and weapons in Xiazhou. These are the things that Wu Ji's army needs most urgently at the moment. If what I expected was not bad, Wu Ji's army would definitely attack Xiazhou. Only by taking Xiazhou can Wu Ji's army be able to rest assured. Advance can threaten Xingqing Prefecture, retreat can defend, and there is no worry about baggage. Then the demise of Xixia is not far away!"

"The official family is wise!" After he explained, Wang Anshi and the others were deeply impressed. In this way, Wu Ji's army would definitely take Xiazhou.

"Report to the official family, Xiazhou good news! Xiazhou good news!"

At this moment, another eunuch rushed in excitedly and shouted from afar: "Wu Ji took Xiazhou and seized countless grains and grass, and he had enough to support a 100,000 army for three or five years!"

He was not reporting, but simply singing. Not only did Song Shenzong and the others know the importance of Xiazhou, but even these eunuchs also knew clearly that taking over the old capital of Xixia means that Xixia, which had been powerful for decades, was almost over. Who would not be happy?

"I say that Wu Ji can conquer Xiazhou, and Wu Ji can conquer Xiazhou!" Song Shenzong thrust his chest, raised his head, and looked proud.

Although he is the emperor, he is also a human being. He has human emotions and six desires, and he will be proud when necessary.

Wang Anshi and the others were about to say something flattering to make Song Shenzong happy, but Song Shenzong waved his hand to stop them from talking. He raised his eyebrows and said, "As soon as Xiazhou was attacked, Wu Ji's army pointed at Xingqing Prefecture. Wu Ji will definitely lead the army to attack Xingqing Prefecture, and take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the elite Xixia is still in Shaanxi Province to capture Xingqing Prefecture in one fell swoop. Then Xixia will be over. Haha! Xixia, a small place, has left Daxia helpless for decades. Humph, this time, Li Bingchang, I have to see what tricks you have? Even if Li Yuanhao is resurrected, he is powerless!"

Once Xiazhou is taken down, Xixia will be destroyed just around the corner. This is a great joy. Wang Anshi and the others are very happy. They all grinned and smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed together, and they opened their mouths, unable to even speak.

First, they defeated the Liao Kingdom, and then they were about to destroy the Western Xia. The rise of the Song Dynasty was so fast that it made them a little difficult to adapt.

"Haha!" Song Shenzong was so happy that he kept paced back and forth, his steps were flying like a brisk. However, what was surprising was that Song Shenzong stopped suddenly and screamed: "No! Wu Ji, don't you want to be greedy for merit and you've missed the sky!"

"The official family, Wu Ji has always been known for repairing the sky. How could he poke the sky out of the sky?" Wang Anshi disagreed with the words of Song Shenzong.

Wu Ji's actions can be called a move to repair the sky. The Song army was not good at fighting. Under his construction, its combat power increased sharply, defeating the Liao Kingdom, and the demise of the Western Xia was about to happen. This was definitely a way to repair the sky.

"Yes!" Lu Huiqing, Shao Jiu and the others agreed in unison.

"The destruction of Xixia is not so easy." Song Shenzong ignored them and said to himself: "The Western Xia is different from Liaogou, and cannot be destroyed easily. The destruction of Xixia must be destroyed without any future troubles. Think about it, if Wu Ji marched towards Xingqing Prefecture at the moment, he could certainly destroy Xixia in one fell swoop. It sounds like the Great Song Dynasty is really powerful, and even the great enemy of Xixia is destroyed. But have you ever thought about it? If the elite of Xixia fled to Hengshan and rely on the geographical advantage to be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, how much price would the Great Song Dynasty pay to clear it out?"

"This..." Wang Anshi and the others were both smart people. Once reminded, they immediately understood the benefits and were shocked.

"In the dense forests of mountains, there are many Dangxiang people and many Qiang people. If they are not eliminated, if the Western Xia is destroyed, they will inevitably be enemies with the Song Dynasty. In this way, will the Song Dynasty be in a huge trouble?" Song Shenzong kept patting his forehead, and sweat oozing out of his forehead: "It is very difficult to deal with when encountering such a big trouble in the Western Xia land. Han Wu can send hundreds of thousands of troops across the desert and defeat the Huns, but he does not send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Qiang people. It is not that he cannot do it, but that he cannot do it. The Qiang people's land is too dangerous, and the place is so large that hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be opened."

There are many troops in the desert, but the land of Xixia is not. This is the reason why Emperor Wu of Han could send hundreds of thousands of troops to the north of the Mo River to defeat the Huns, but the Qiang people were not sent many troops.

If Wu Ji was so angry that he took down Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop, the Song Dynasty would have a huge trouble, and Wang Anshi and the others would be anxious. Wu Ji acted very quickly, and even if he sent someone to chase him, it would be too late. Wang Anshi and the others thought about it, the more they became, the more they were getting worse.

"The official family, there is still a memorial from Wu Ji here, you haven't read it yet." Just when Song Shenzong and the others were worried, the eunuch reminded him.

"Memorial?" Song Shenzong grabbed it and opened it to browse it. He couldn't help but laugh: "Haha! I'm worried in vain! I'm worried in vain! Wu Ji had thought of this for a long time and stopped in Xiazhou! OK! OK! OK! Wu Ji is Wu Ji, and he won't cause trouble for me!"

"Official family, although Wu Ji expected it to be gone, his troops were insufficient and it was difficult to wipe out all in one fell swoop!" Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows and reminded Emperor Shenzong of Song.

"It's okay!" Song Shenzong was not worried at all, and said, "Wu Ji had long thought of him, and he wanted me to send Western soldiers to participate in this battle."

"Report to the official family, the Western soldiers took Hengshan and entered Hexi!" At this moment, a huge good news came.
