Chapter 570 If this strategy is successful, Xixia may be destroyed soon (first update)
Chapter 579

"Do you think it's possible?" Academician Su gasped as if he had a toothache. He always wondered why this kid always likes to come up with weird ideas.

"Liang Yibu is the Xiangguo of Xixia, one man is less than ten thousand people." Zhang Yi couldn't help reminding Wang Yang with some dumbfounding.

Wang Yang smiled lightly, and with just one sentence, he slapped the two old drivers back. "It's a pity that the young Xixia king did something stupid. The first imperial decree, he went to trouble the Liang family."

Before they could continue talking, Wang Yang began to analyze on his own.

"Afterwards, Liang Yibu kept sending orders to return to Xingqing Mansion, but Liang Yibu never went back. This shows that the conflict between the Prime Minister of Xixia and the Lord of Xixia has reached an irreconcilable time."

"My lords, please don't forget that Li Qianshun did this for a reason, because he is the leader of the Xixia people, so he must seek justice for the Xixia tribes who have just been defeated and suffered heavy losses."

"One option is that he raises an army immediately, defeats me in Song Dynasty, and washes away the shame with a victory. But he didn't do that, but used another option."

"That is to ask for peace from the Song Dynasty, and then use his mother clan as the scapegoat for the defeat of Xixia, so as to calm the anger of the party members and tribes who suffered heavy casualties, to calm the internal disputes, and to ensure that they gain access to the Xixia Kingdom. The support of all departments."

Hearing Wang Yang's analysis to this point, the expressions of Su Dongpo and others became more and more serious. "Hearing what you said, it seems to be true."

"The lord of the Western Xia Dynasty seems to be too young after all, and his methods seem a little too impatient. In fact, it is not too late to wait for Liang Yibu to return to Xingqing Mansion before taking action."

"Maybe this young king has accumulated too much dissatisfaction with his mother clan in the past, so he is so impulsive." Zhang Yi shook his head lightly, it seems that this young king is really too much. When you are young, impulsiveness can easily lead to bad things.

But having said that, it seems that the emperor of Song Dynasty is not much older, but fortunately, the empress dowager is still in good health.

"The Western Xia Xiangguo and Xixia's general Liang Yibu is not a loyal minister, but also selfish. So, if the Xixia king oppresses too quickly and threatens too much, what will he do?"

"Maybe there will be a rebellion?" Su Dongpo's eyes lit up, and his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.

Zhong Shidao can't help but take it for granted. "It's very possible, Mr. Wang, I don't know what you want to do, let the young Xixia king continue to threaten Liang Yibu and make him mess up?"

"There are many ways, but let Liang Yibu create chaos and face the power of Xixia, what are his chances of winning?" Wang Yang thought for a while, and shook his head slowly. Song Dynasty can be happy and relaxed by the side, and can watch the show as a quiet melon-eater.

However, such civil strife is not what Wang Yang wants to see.

Zhong Shidao gave his judgment with certainty. "There is definitely no chance of winning. Although he, Liang Yibu, is the Prime Minister of Xixia, after such a big defeat, the Liang family has become the target of all clans.

As for the soldiers and horses under his command, except for the [-] Han army, the rest are all party members. If it really comes to the point where they need to fight each other, if there is no foreign aid, it will take more than a month at most, and he will have to..."

"Since Beiliao let Li Qianshun take charge of the government, he will definitely not allow important ministers like Liang Yibu to have a chance to rise and fall. I am afraid that even Liang Yibu knows it very well, so he will garrison Hong Kong in the south of the Jianing Military Division. State, refuse to return to Xingqing Mansion."

"As long as we return to Xingqing Mansion, what is waiting for him is the end of the destruction of the Liang family and the massacre of the whole family."

"If there is a real conflict between Liang Yibu and Xixia, it would be a pity to just watch Xixia fall into civil strife while my Song Dynasty does nothing." Over there, Zhe Kexing stroked his long beard, unable to bear it muttered.

"The old general is right. In fact, Wang thinks that instead of sitting and watching the civil strife in Xixia, it is better for me, Da Song, to give a hand. Maybe the benefits we get will far exceed our imagination." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes. He closed his eyes and said like a thief.

"Is this... okay?" Seeing Wang Yang's appearance, Su Dongpo suddenly had an ominous premonition. It seemed that this guy wanted to do something again, and he still wanted to do something big.

"My lords, isn't this good? If we can get Liang Yibu to surrender to our Song court, not to mention the [-] Han troops under his command, I can't say that I can help my Song Dynasty conquer Xia in the future. must."

"The important thing is that Liang Yibu has been the Prime Minister of Xixia for many years, and he is very familiar with various internal situations in Xixia. If we get his help, it will definitely be a great help for me in the Song Dynasty to conquer Xia."

Zhe Kexing, the old general, stood up and walked to the map hanging on the side, his eyes were bright and authentic. "Moreover, Hongzhou is located in the south of Jianing Military Division. Not only is the terrain difficult, easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also, after passing Hongzhou, there is an open land. After taking Hongzhou, there is no longer any way to the north until Yuzhou. barrier."

"Old Zhe, you forgot to mention one thing, that is, if we, the Great Song Dynasty, can capture Youzhou, it will be equivalent to breaking an arm of Xixia and destroying Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Longzhou, and Shizhou. All connections between the land and Xingqing Mansion are cut off."

"And the west of Youzhou is Yanzhou, the most important source of income in Xixia. And without Hongzhou and Youzhou, Xixia's Xingqing Mansion is equivalent to opening its doors. At that time, my Great Song Dynasty will only It is necessary to garrison troops on the front line of Youzhou and Hongzhou to wait for work, and Xixia, whose hinterland is threatened, can only attack even if it tries its best..."

Zhang Kai, an old driver, couldn't help but feel excited. He rubbed his fingers and kept weighing the pros and cons in his heart. "They have lost nearly half of their elite force now. If Liang Yibu surrenders to the Song Dynasty, it will definitely reduce the strength of Xixia to another level. If the Song Dynasty takes over Hongzhou and Youzhou, blocking the four states, …”

"Then Xixia is not just as simple as a muscle injury. Maybe, the old man may see the day when Xixia is destroyed in his lifetime."

"Everyone, do you all think this strategy is feasible?" Su Dongpo also stood in front of the map, looking at the huge map, looking at the terrain of Xixia, between Xingqing Mansion and the land of the four states, there is a huge desert It is extremely dangerous for the army to cross the sand sea directly. However, if the South Road is blocked, Xingqing Mansion must go all the way north to reach the Hetao area, and then go along the Only by going down the river and going south through the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty can we enter the states in the east.

After this circle, the distance to the eastern states via Youzhou is only [-] miles, which is [-] to [-] miles longer.

"Zhang feels that if this strategy is really successful, Xixia will either have to escape to the Western Regions, or it will be destroyed soon." Zhang Wei replied decisively.
