Chapter 118: On the way back to Beijing

Ming Zhaoxia opened her mouth slightly and started counting with her fingers, "The East Campus Office, the West Campus Review Office, the Security Bureau, and another Privy Council Bureau?"

"Haha, they are all temporary measures, emergency measures to treat headaches and pains. After a while, we still have to summarize them and each perform their own duties. This also has the advantage of seeing who is suitable for this kind of work."

Ming Zhaoxia curled her lips, picked up two chopsticks for Zhao Si, and then said: "I was worried about the last war for a full month. It was too dangerous."

"It seems dangerous, but it mainly depends on whether the key point has been found. This victory is divided into four parts by the soldiers' lives, two parts by the temple's calculations, two parts by the mistakes of the Hexi family, and two parts by God's will."

Ming Zhaoxia put down her chopsticks, tilted her head and thought about it, still a little confused.

"Thirteenth Master, I can understand four parts of the fate of the soldiers, two parts of the temple's calculations, and two parts of God's will. It's just the mistakes of the Hexi family that I can't understand."

"Can't you understand?" Zhao Si murmured as he put the food in his mouth. He finished the last grain of rice neatly, put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the teacup handed over by Li Fang, rinsed his mouth, and

The water was spat into a copper basin held by a young chamberlain.

"Mr. Li, please take away all the food. Give me and Zhaoxia two cups of tea, and go down and rest first."

"It's Your Highness."

Holding hot tea, Zhao Si and Ming Zhaoxia sat across the table in the small hall.

"Zhaoxia, do you still remember the night battle at Dabao Village in Douling?"

"Your Highness, is this the time when we left Xiao Pass, explored the Xia Army's stronghold at night, and annihilated more than a hundred Xia Army?"

"Yes. Do you remember what the Xia Army leader who was captured alive said?"

Ming Zhaoxia thought hard and realized that she was also wearing a military uniform and was following Zhao Si to protect his safety.

She remembered what the Xia army leader said, but she needed to think about it before she could remember the details.

"I roughly remember that the fellow said that if the Empress Dowager Liang was here, all the Xia troops in Dabao Village would be dispatched and they would not be defeated by us. It seems that they also said that it was their king who issued a strict order that no unauthorized access to the border was allowed.

Let’s start a war.”

"Yes. That's what I heard about the problem. Xia's army is in a confused state of mind, and the generals and officers have many different ideas."

"Really?" Ming Zhaoxia couldn't believe it. How did you hear such a big problem in just a short sentence?

"The second queen of the Liang family in Xia State continuously controlled the political affairs of the two dynasties and ruled for more than 30 years. In order to consolidate power, the Liang Party colluded with Ali Gu and launched a crazy war against the Song Dynasty. They won more and lost less. The leader of Xia, Li Qianshun, was in power for a short time.

There are many members of the Liang Party in the army, and they are deeply rooted."

"These generals and officers of the Xia Army, with the connivance of the Liang Party, have always been arrogant and despised the Song Dynasty. They must be very angry about Li Qianshun's behavior of apologizing for peace and the strict order to restrain the border troops."

Zhao Si picked up the tea bowl, took a sip gently, and started talking.

"I later verified it through channels, and then asked people to secretly leak the clues about the Battle of Huangzhong to Xia Guo's details."

"Intentionally leaked?" Ming Zhaoxia's hand shook and the tea cup she was holding almost fell to the ground.

"Some clues have been leaked, pointing to the fact that my combat target is the country of Huangzhong. Li Qingluan has fought with me and knows that this king is a 'bold' and 'sinister' guy. Based on these clues, it is easy to deduce

For the great achievement of opening up the territory, I, the king, will take the risk to attack the country of Xisiluo."

Ming Zhaoxia was so surprised that she was speechless.

"After guessing the king's secret goal, Li Qianshun definitely wanted to take advantage of the situation and use the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him. He defeated the Song army in Huangzhong, and then plundered Xi, Gong, Qin, Wei, Long and other states. He even fought his way into Guanzhong and consolidated his power with a heart-wrenching victory, which in turn helped him eliminate the remaining members of the Liang Party and completely control the army."

"Your Highness is really good at calculating!" Ming Zhaoxia could only sigh like this.

Is this a good plan?

Before time travel, I had encountered more intrigues and more outrageous traps in business wars. As long as I was against someone, the essence was the same.

Seeing through what he really wants is the key point.

"Your Highness, is this what you call the mistake of dividing Xia Kingdom into two?"

"Not entirely. As I said just now, Xia Jun's thinking is chaotic, and many generals and officers are dissatisfied with Li Qianshun. In this case, it is okay to fight with the wind. Once things turn around, these Xia Jun generals and officers will fight for Li Qianshun. The chance of risking one's life is very small, and there is a high chance that one just wants to escape and save one's own life."

"In Haotongchuan, our army of 60,000 defeated Xia's army of 80,000. In fact, I was unsure at that time. Until dozens of Xia's soldiers were sent from the front, I asked them on a whim whether they thought Xia's army could win? They were more likely to win. Most of them believed that the troops were disorganized and morale was low north of Liuling where all their comrades were thinking of escaping, so they could not win. So I gained confidence and ordered the Xia army to be divided and annihilate the left route army. "

Ming Zhaoxia asked in surprise: "Do you believe this?"

"All victories are won by soldiers. When most ordinary soldiers think they will fail, there is more than a 70% chance they will actually lose; if they think they will win, there is a 50% chance they will actually win."

"Your Highness, who said this?"

"It's from the military strategist who told me the secrets of military law, observation, speed, fierce attack and iron law. His surname is Su."

"A military strategist named Su?" Ming Zhaoxia was puzzled.

Zhao Si and his party continued to move forward until they left Tongguan. Weizhou's military report was delivered by Jinzipai Express, specially to Zhao Si.

"Old man Zhang is deliberately demonstrating to me." Zhao said with a smile.

Opening the military newspaper, he glanced at it, his expression neither surprised nor happy, as if everything was expected.

Ming Zhaoxia couldn't wait to take it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

"The 40,000 Suzaku Banner cavalry, led by Liu Fa, Gao Shixuan, and Hu Luxiong, left the Six Ridges and ran along the Kaluo River toward Liangzhou City. Xihe, Qinfeng, and Jingyuan troops gathered at Douling and killed Niuling, Pingxia City Line..."

After reading it, Ming Zhaoxia was puzzled, "Your Highness, isn't this the same old trick that I guessed?"

"Using troops is to use force with force and force with force. Let's put on such a posture first. If the Xia army is not fooled, Liu Fa will lead the Suzaku cavalry and really plunder the Hexi family's Xiliang Mansion, and then turn around and attack South, straight to the West Sea. That is their real destination. They just don’t mind making a fortune along the way.”

Ming Zhaoxia suddenly understood, "If you attack it, you will save it. A large number of our army's cavalry are approaching Xiliang Mansion. Xia Lord Li Qianshun will go to reinforce him no matter what. Otherwise, once our army really captures Liangzhou City, it will directly Cutting off one of his wings will destabilize the country."

Speaking of this, Ming Zhaoxia said while thinking: "Li Qianshun is not a fool. He will definitely wonder whether our army will repeat its old tricks and once again adopt the tactic of encircling a point for reinforcements and ambush the reinforcements halfway. One of them is Secondly, with the mobilization of troops from Xihe, Qinfeng, and Jingyuan, the news will definitely reach Xia Kingdom, and Li Qianshun will be more cautious."

Zhao Si burst out laughing, "In war, it's like playing chess. Whoever gets the upper hand will have the upper hand, and the opponent will be led around everywhere. In the past, our Song Dynasty had no cavalry and lacked strategic mobility, so

I always fail to seize the opportunity. I have worked hard and finally formed the Suzaku Cavalry."

Having said this, Zhao Silong looked at the tiger and said proudly, "From now on, our Song Dynasty also has strategic mobility. The opportunity is all in my hands! Four battles and four victories. For me, to fight such a cavalry,

It is more important than beheading 90,000 people and capturing 130,000 people!"

"At this moment, Your Highness really has the aura to dominate the world." Ming Zhaoxia said ecstatically.

Zhao Si smiled.

At this time, Tong Guan followed Li Fang and came forward. Zhao Si, who was riding on the horse with a bent waist, said: "Your Majesty, in front of you is the Nexiang Station. The younger one has already rushed there and made some arrangements. I just have to wait.

Your Highness is staying."

Zhao Si looked at him and nodded, "Tong Angel, thank you for your hard work!"
