Sima Guang suddenly lost his temper, and the conservative officials also withered.
Huang Shang stood at the top of the hundred officials and felt his fortune rising.
Reconciling yin and yang, ruling the world!
This is the authority of the prime minister.
In governing the country internally, he did not beat those who opposed him to death with a stick, but manipulated the overall situation so that they would be defeated without fighting and perish without attacking.
In the external conquest of enemy countries, the previous Dali, Luodian, Ziqi, and Jiaozhi were just small attacks, and Xixia was the most important first step.
The Hetao area it occupies is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It not only has crisscrossed rivers and abundant water and grass, enough to raise good horses, but also has an excellent geographical location. From a high position, you can look south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains.
For the northern nomads, occupying the Hetao is equivalent to grabbing an ideal base to go south to Guanzhong and compete in the Central Plains. For the Central Plains dynasty, controlling the Hetao means having a Yinshan barrier that can effectively resist attacks from the northern nomads.
threaten.
If the Song Dynasty wanted to truly rise, destroying Xixia and recapturing the Hetao was a key step.
Destroy Xixia, then go north to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and destroy the Khitan!
Now the first step is almost successful.
Feeling the blessing of luck, Huang Shang clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, this battle with the Western thieves will definitely destroy the ship. I am willing to go to the front line to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Zhao Xu stood up, came to Huang Shang, held his hands and said, "Sir, go ahead, I will be behind you all!"
If you say this kind of thing in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, throughout the history of the dynasties, there is no such trust and support.
What else can be said?
Just waiting for a great victory on the front line!
…
…
"Huang Shang came to the front line?"
"Damn it, come on, the prime minister is here in person, what kind of position is that, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses?"
"It's terrible to be uneducated. He is obviously the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces!"
The news that the Prime Minister was about to arrive spread to the front line as quickly as possible, and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted. However, in the camp where the Flying Tiger Army was specially camping, several people gathered together with strange expressions on their faces.
"Huang Shang is really coming, what should we do?"
The five people are naturally Lin Lan, Nan Ding, Ye Xian, Ban Tao and Panda.
Since Huang Shang left, they have focused on hidden tasks, found out the channels for smuggling weapons within the Song Dynasty, and eliminated the national traitors. They have completed it, each has rewards, and the harvest is full.
Panda proposed that this task was triggered by Yue Guan, a lucky expert, and he should repay him.
The four of them, Lin Lan, felt that this was indeed the case. They ate the meat happily, and anyone with a bit of conscience would feel sorry for it, so they got together to discuss whether there was any way to redeem themselves.
It's just that the ten carts of weapons transported back from Anjiang Village were exaggerated with doubling liquid. Three days later, the nine carts of weapons disappeared, and the blame was settled at the end of the month.
All of this had been planned in advance. After all, the fake surrender had to be done in a convincing manner in order to judge Huang Shang's true feelings.
Likewise, there is no way back.
"At this point, the boss can only run away, but he is arrogant and will definitely not do that..."
The panda sighed.
Although his tone was sad and his skin was dark and rough, he couldn't hide the oily shine on his face.
In recent days, he wakes up laughing every night from his dreams. He cooks a few specialty side dishes for three meals a day and has already opened a box of bulk liquor.
He explained to Lin Lan and others that he was in a bad mood and overeating and drinking, but in fact he was broad-minded and fat, and of course he would gain weight.
He originally had a big face and a thick neck, but now his body proportions are even more exaggerated, and he has developed into a real panda.
Even so, Panda's acting skills have not declined at all. He uses the greasiest expressions to interpret the most sincere emotions, and he has become the backbone of everyone.
After hearing his words, everyone's expressions became even uglier. Lin Lan thought for a while: "Is there no other way? It's really unreliable to ask Huang Shang for forgiveness. The Flying Tiger Army was founded by Huang Shang and has the highest achievements today.
If you vote for Xixia, wouldn't it be a slap in the Prime Minister's face?"
"That's the truth, but the boss doesn't want to listen to what we say..."
The panda sighed deeply, clenched his hands into fists, and made a prayer gesture: "I just hope that the boss can stay lucky and get through the difficulties!"
Except for Ye Xian who looked at the panda coldly, the other four grown men also clenched their fists and prayed.
"Pray? Praying is useless. Do you really think that Yue Guan is playing a big knife in your crotch?"
The panda was disdainful. After returning to the tent, thinking about Huang Shang's arrival, he became excited again: "When Yue Guan is dead, I can eat his human blood steamed buns. Wouldn't it be nice?"
…
…
A few days later.
The last batch of supplies and static troops arrived at the front line.
The Jingsai Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Tielin Army of the Liao Kingdom, the Iron Kites of the Western Xia Dynasty, the Jurchen Iron Pagoda and the Mongolian heavy armored cavalry are the five most powerful cavalry in the world.
Of course, the glory of the Jingsai Army was in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It should have been unable to produce decent cavalry in this era.
However, after the tea horse market in Guangxi flourished, fine horses shipped from Tubo were continuously sent to the army. Under Huang Shang's order, the Jingsai Army was rebuilt and expanded to 20,000 people.
Most of this elite cavalry has now gone to the north to guard against the Liao Kingdom's advance, but there are still 5,000 elites who have come to Shaanxi.
Along with it came food and the last batch of supplies.
At this point, the number of elite soldiers used in the conquest of Xixia reached 250,000, equipped with 200,000 sets of armor, 120,000 sabers, 100,000 divine arms and bows, and countless other weapons.
Just as the Song army gathered together, a group of people also came to Xiazhou.
The one walking in the front was none other than Huang Shang, who was strolling in the courtyard.
Behind him, thirty-two reincarnations from Xixia, either in twos or threes, or alone.
Each group holds a magnifying glass in their hands.
The inventor sold a total of eighteen mood testers and earned nine thousand reincarnation points.
As soon as they were sold out, he and the Holy Master ran away.
Just kidding, this huge amount of money is enough to make a two-star reincarnation jealous, and the world will naturally have to hide it well.
The world is so big and the sea of people is so vast that it is really difficult for the reincarnators to find a place to hide. Those who originally had evil intentions could only curse a few times when they saw that they were alert.
And a certain reincarnation who made a fortune quietly received a dividend of 4,500 reincarnation points, thus quadrupling his net worth.
According to the contract, no one knows.
But even if outsiders knew it, they would laugh it off for the time being.
Because these gains have not yet settled.
In the contract, it is stated that if the mood tester fails to be used, a full refund will be issued immediately.
To say the least, even if it is put to use, I'm afraid there will only be a mosaic left.
Those who are not favored are always in turmoil, and those who are favored are confident.
This time, let’s see how this fearless guy is beaten to death by Huang Shang!
