Li Guoxing, Minister of War of the Western Xia Dynasty, said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Da Qian created many secret weapons. Those weapons are extremely powerful. This is the main reason for the defeat of our army."
"If our army goes out again and cannot eliminate the enemy's secret weapon, it may be difficult to win." Li Guoxing felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart, which made him feel worried. If the emperor ordered another expedition, he would suffer the same outcome. The Ministry of War will never be able to escape its involvement, and he cannot bear this responsibility.
So he informed the emperor about the situation on the front line, just to let him think carefully and not do anything impulsive. The reason for doing this was not to speak for anyone else, but to consider for himself.
In his position, he seeks his own government.
The frontline was defeated, and the emperor was already dissatisfied with the Ministry of War.
If it happened again, he would be blamed.
"Secret weapon?" Li Yuanhao was stunned and looked at Li Guoxing in shock, somewhat confused.

It's normal for Li Yuanhao to be confused. If he hadn't delved into the reasons for Tuoba Xiong's defeat, he wouldn't have known that Da Gan could have such a powerful weapon, which made him feel a little afraid of Da Gan.
Being able to create weapons of mass destruction without even realizing it showed that the strength of Da Gan's army was not what he saw.
"Your Majesty, Daqian has artillery and crossbows..." Li Guoxing paused and told all the information reported from the front line.
After listening, Li Yuanhao fell into silence.
After a long silence, Li Yuanhao said, "Is what you said true?"
It's not that Li Yuanhao has doubts. No matter who hears this, they can't believe it for the first time. If Daqian has such a powerful secret weapon, why was he beaten by Xixia without any strength in the first place? No matter how you look at it, it's obvious. Not very common sense.m..
Li Guoxing pursed his lips, he didn't want to believe it, but in fact it was the case. The so-called Pingnan Army had an endless supply of weapons and defeated their Xixia elite cavalry to a pulp.
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true." Li Guoxing replied firmly.
"The enemy's weapons can not only be used to attack the city, but the effect of defending the city is incredible."
"If... we can have this kind of weapon." Li Yuanhao muttered to himself with focused eyes.

Then he asked, "Li Aiqing, if we had this secret weapon, wouldn't the military's strength be able to reach another level?"
"Your Majesty, if our army is equipped with such weapons, the strength of the army will be doubled, but..."
Li Guoxing believes that if they can possess secret weapons like Ganjun, the strength of the army will definitely be able to reach another level. This is an undoubted fact, otherwise Dagan would not be able to regain the lost ground.
It's just that they don't.
"Can you send Xizuo to bring these secret weapons..." Li Yuanhao thought about letting Xizuo go to work and secretly learn the secret weapon technology so that they in Xixia can have the same weapons.
"Your Majesty, we are working in the capital of Daqian and have not discovered that Daqian has such weapons, so..." Li Guoxing's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, Emperor, how dare you!
How can such a powerful weapon of a country be obtained so easily?
They have planted so many spies in the capital of Daqian, but to this day, they have not received any detailed information and sent back any information about Daqian's secret weapons. This shows how sufficient Daqian's confidentiality work is. If they want to steal Learning technology is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Li Yuanhao also realized this and could only say that his idea just now was simply too naive.
If Daqian has such a weapon, it must be classified as top secret. The hope of obtaining it is slim and almost impossible.

Having said that, Li Yuanhao still launched a detailed operation to attack the capital, so that they would get this secret weapon no matter what the price, as long as he had such a powerful weapon of the country, why would he, Li Yuanhao, worry about accomplishing his great cause?
Li Yuanhao did this, but Li Guoxing did not stop him.
Whether it works or not, they have to do it. Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, they have to give it a try.
"Your Majesty, do we still need to send troops?" Tuoba Hong, the right minister of the Ministry of War, asked.
"What do Li Aiqing think?" Li Yuanhao did not answer, but looked at Li Guoxing, wanting to know what he thought.
In fact, Li Guoxing has already said before that based on the current situation, a war with Daqian would be very detrimental to them.
After all, weapons do not need to be at the same level. Talking about starting a war will only cause heavy losses to one's own soldiers, and it may not lead to victory. In this case, why should we sacrifice people?
"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate to start a war." As expected, Li Guoxing refused to agree to go to war in order not to take responsibility.
"However, I think it is necessary to increase the number of troops in Fengxiang and Qinzhou. After all, these two places also belonged to Daqian twenty years ago. What if Daqian is not satisfied with Jingzhao Mansion this time and wants to regain all the lost territory of Daqian in one fell swoop?" If I want to regain it, then the efforts I have put in these two places over the years will be in vain..."
Although Li Guoxing did not agree to go to war, he proposed to increase the number of troops in Fengxiang Prefecture and Qinzhou Prefecture, for no other reason than that these two places belonged to Daqian twenty years ago. In case the Qian army's morale was boosted by the previous war, If you are not satisfied with recovering Jingzhao Mansion and continue to send troops to recover the lost territory of Daqian, then these two places will definitely be attacked first, and the top priority is to beware of the enemy.

"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was speechless.
Li Guokui, the left minister of the Ministry of War, asked, "Master Shangshu, are you being too cautious?"
Turning to look at Li Yuanhao, "Your Majesty, I thought that Da Qian would never dare to provoke our Xixia Dynasty."
In his opinion, how could Daqian dare to attack Xixia? At most, he would be very happy if he could recover the previously lost territory.
If we send troops to Fengxiang and Qinzhou, it will be a declaration of war on Xixia, and they Daqian will definitely not dare to do that.
The reason why Li Guokui is so determined is because Daqian's current strength cannot support Daqian to do this. The northern Beimang has always been eyeing Daqian with covetous eyes and wants to devour Daqian Pingle all the time. With this powerful enemy, Da Gan can only make good friends with Da Gan, otherwise he will be attacked from both sides and Da Gan will be in danger!
"Why are you so sure, Minister Zuo?" Li Guoxing suddenly looked at Li Guokui, wondering why he was so sure.
Li Guokui then expressed his thoughts.
When he finished speaking, the hall fell into deep thought.

Li Guokui's analysis was correct. Da Qian only wanted to regain lost territory such as Jingzhao Mansion and had no intention of attacking Xixia.
This was the attitude of the Daqian court.
But it was different when he arrived in Lingyun. He couldn't get any benefits in Beimang, but that didn't mean he couldn't get it in Xixia either.
What's more, after several battles in a row, the Pingnan Army won consecutive victories. They became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, and their morale reached an unprecedented high.
So Ling Yun thought, why not take this opportunity to continue sending troops?
There are two benefits to sending troops. One is to scare Xixia so that they don't dare to underestimate them, and the other is to train troops. Only by going through the battlefield can real soldiers be tempered.
