Chapter 1514 Dilemma of the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty
Chapter 1514
The emperor agreed to the decision that the six people had discussed overnight, and decided to draw 20,000 from the border troops in the stalemate with Northern Liao and go directly to Jinzhou along the coast to help defend Liaodong.
Then, 30,000 imperial guards were drawn from Tokyo Bianliang to Liaodong to assist. In this way, the border troops could fully arrive in Liaodong before the Northern Liaoxing army invaded Liaodong.
Even if the border troops are unable to fight, they can still be used to defend the city. As for the 30,000 imperial guards to rush to Liaodong, it is very necessary. After all, no matter whether it is the remaining Liao army north of Tokyo Road or the female troops, no one can guarantee that they will attack the Song Dynasty at any time.
Now, even if the 20,000 border troops are added, the Song Dynasty can only be able to take a defensive position. After the 30,000 imperial guards arrive, they can continue to expand outward. At that time, they will not only defend the fruits of victory, but also extend their hands to those places that are still in the remnants of the Northern Liao army.
The emperor even decided to send another 100 Yuanyou Divine Power Cannons to help Liaodong. The ministers who had already known that Yuanyou Divine Power Cannons were so sharp that they couldn't help but feel happy and agreed.
The subsequent arrival of the imperial guards and the hundred Yuanyou divine cannons will greatly boost the morale and morale of the Eastern Army of the Song Dynasty.
"However, I think that except for Liaodong to respond, we cannot forget our previous purpose." Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw that the people were busy discussing the battle strategy in Liaodong. Could it be that these guys forgot what their original purpose was?
"The previous purpose? Wang Wushan, you mean to surrender to Yelu Yuji, seeking the land of Liaodong as the supplement, and focusing on the east of the North Liaohe River, right?"
Su Dongpo smiled at Wang Yang and said, "But now, the benefits brought by Yelu Yuji surrender are too great. It is so great that I, the Song Dynasty, could hardly swallow it. At this time, it would be unwise to seek Hedong Road again."
"The old husband said this is a bad thing. Yelu Yu saw that he surrendered to my Song Dynasty, which made my Song Dynasty add thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. This is my Song Dynasty's good luck. Moreover, he will definitely transfer all the attention of Northern Liao to the northeast. The land of Hedong Road will inevitably be even more unattracted."
"If you don't take this opportunity to contact Xiao Shen and try to convince Xiao Shen to seek Hedong Road. Do you have to wait for the Liao Kingdom and our Song Dynasty to end the battle between Liao and the Liao territory?" Wang Yang's face turned black.
In his opinion, this was definitely an excellent opportunity. The North Liaodongjing Road was almost lost, and the Jinzhou, which controlled the western Liaoning Corridor, also fell into the control of the Song Dynasty, which would inevitably shock the Liao Dynasty's government and the country's government.
Facing the devil's claws that had already invaded Zhongjing Road, Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Northern Liao, was sure to understand that if he could not regain the lost land, then Northern Liao would inevitably decline and the morale of the army and the people would also fall sharply.
At that time, the Northern Liao Dynasty would probably have changed from being able to maintain its advantage in the past stalemate with the Song Dynasty to being able to defend passively.
Therefore, Bei Liao will definitely mobilize the whole country, and Hedong Road, which has been silent for a while, may be drawn to aid.
In addition, with Xiao Shen, the chief general of Hedongdao, being the inner supporter of the Song Dynasty, even if Xiao Shen could not see it like Yelu Yu, it would bring more surprises to the Song Dynasty.
But at least there is no problem in trying to capture the southern part of the East North Liaohe Road. If we can go further and seize the two sides of the river and the Hetao area, we will completely cut the Northern Liao and Xixia.
So now, the Xixia, which is extremely weak, faced with the three-sided encirclement of the Song Dynasty without the assistance of the Northern Liao Dynasty, it was like a whole piece that had been slaughtered and blood-bloated, put into a stuffed stove and roasted fragrantly, as attractive as the whole roasted lamb waiting to be served.
The emperor was also a little bit angry. Looking at the huge map that Ma Shangpu spread, there was the North Liaodongjing Road and the North Liaohe East Road on the other.
It was like two huge pieces of fat meat. One piece had been eaten into his mouth, but it was too big, so it needed to be filled with all its energy. However, the emperor did not want to give up the other piece of fat meat. After all, that piece of fat meat...
No, if the fat piece of Hedongdao is swallowed, the fat sheep next to it that cannot be eaten in its mouth will become a meal on the Song Dynasty.
"Oh... I didn't expect that I, the Song Dynasty, would have such a day, not to worry about where the border troubles have not been eliminated, but to worry about how to get those great mountains and rivers."
When the emperor heard such distressing voices from the emperor, a group of important officials couldn't help but smile, but soon frowned and began to think hard.
After hearing Wang Yang's words, they were also moved. Yes, it was obvious that the fat meat and fat sheep that could be eaten into their stomachs. Why did they have to let go?
However, Da Song had only one mouth and two hands, and it was too difficult to take it down in one breath.
The crowd thought for a long time, but the land of Liaodong had already reached its mouth, which was like an arrow on the string and had to be fired. However, they couldn't bear to leave the other piece of fat meat and big fat sheep.
Damn, after all, it was all the troublesome guy Wang Yang.
Everyone fell on Wang Yang's body, making Wang Yang stand upright and his scalp numb. "I said, everyone, what do you want to do?"
"Wang Wushan, you said you have made so many things, but now I, the Song Dynasty, really can't have the energy to take care of both places." Su Dongpo said with a wry smile at Wang Yang.
#####
Wang Yang ignored Su Dongpo and others' facts and reasoning. He also understood these things, but he knew very well that now was an excellent opportunity for the Song Dynasty to pacify the Western Xia.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my words. The King of Xixia, Li Qianshun, was not a good person. Although he was a minister and was in charge of the government when he first came to the government, causing chaos in the middle of the country, he has always been tenacious and can correct his mistakes."
"Now, although the national strength of the Western Xia Dynasty has not been restored, the power of the various tribes in the Western Xia Dynasty has declined. Li Qianshun has already taken over the power of the farming and sericulture, and has also plundered the surrounding cities and states, gathered the population, and gradually restored its strength."
"If we take time and wait until the king and minister of the Western Xia are united, there will be trouble in the northwest. The northwest of our Song Dynasty has finally become prosperous. If it is disturbed by the Western Xia, it will be like all previous efforts are wasted."
"Your Majesty! I am very clear. Now the predicament of our Song Dynasty is, so I do not ask for anything else. I just hope that your Majesty will help me lead a small number of elite troops to the northwest and conquer Hedong Road in Northern Liao."
"If the Hedong Road is obtained, then with the combat power of the northwest border army of our Song Dynasty, it will be enough to pacify the Western Xia and restore the old land. Our Song Dynasty will no longer have any troubles in the northwest, and it will also make the silk road of the Western Regions smooth...
Wang Yang talked about it, and the emperor Zhao Xu and others were also able to see each other, and they were in a dilemma. It was really difficult.
