"This is the contract given to us by the Kingdom of Jin!"
"Because the book involves Xiangyang and Haizhou, two important military areas, I dare not sign it on my own, so I brought it back to ask your Majesty for your decision!"
Tang Sidui handed a document to Emperor Zhao Gou.
"The Kingdom of Jin really deceives people too much!"
"If our Song Dynasty really gave Haizhou and Xiangyang to the Jin people, wouldn't we be controlled by their Jin people everywhere in the future?"
Emperor Zhao Gou couldn't help but said after reading the treaty.
"Your Majesty!"
"What does this mere Haizhou and Xiangyang mean?"
"After all, the Jin people haven't crossed the Yellow River yet?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we agree to all the Jin people's demands for the time being and let them send troops to exterminate Xu thieves for us?"
"After all, compared to the Jin people, Xu thieves are the biggest threat to us now!"
Fahai reminded Zhao Gou from the side.
"The Imperial Master is right!"
"The most important thing is to eliminate the thief first!"
"After all, that thief now not only openly disobeyed me, but also claimed to be the emperor in the name of passing on the national jade seal!"
"I will never tolerate this kind of behavior from Thief Xu!"
"So Tang Si Tui, you will go to the Kingdom of Jin again with the national advisor this time. Make sure the Jin people send troops to attack those thieves!"
"And tomorrow I will issue a summons order to convict Xu Thief, and order our army and people of the Song Dynasty to go all out to attack Xu Thief!"
Zhao Gou seemed to be impatient.
So Zhao Gou officially issued an order to conquer Xu Xian the next day, and began to order the three armies to march together to attack Xu Xian.
Henan Prefecture, Luoyang City.
"His Majesty!"
"This is the summons issued by Emperor Song Ting to you!"
Xu Xian had just returned to Luoyang when he received a letter from Prime Minister Lu You.
Xu Xian, you used to be our Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Marshal of the Army and Horses. I even tolerated you and made you king. I hope you can return to the court and correct your mistakes. But you don't want me to serve the Song Dynasty. You are guilty of conspiracy.
Not only had I been trapped in Shaoxing, but they also poisoned the government and the public. Now they have rebelled in Luoyang and deceived the people. Such actions are actually evil thieves of the country and should be punished by both humans and gods.
Therefore, I have ordered three armies. Yu Yunwen is the commander of the west army, leading 150,000 troops. Li Xianzhong is the commander of the middle army, leading 180,000 troops. Wang Qi is the commander of the east route army, leading 200,000 troops. The three armies are
Let's go hand in hand to defeat you and other traitors. If you and other traitors are willing to change their ways and return to the court to take charge of their crimes, I will be magnanimous and ensure that your lives are safe. Otherwise, you and other traitors will surely end up with no bones left in the future.
After Xu Xian opened the letter, he read it personally.
"Prime Minister Lu!"
"King Zhou!"
"What do you two think of this foolish king's request for a letter from me?"
Xu Xian handed the letter to the two of them.
"This...Hunjun's crusade against the book is really ridiculous...ridiculous!"
"Does Zhao Gou deserve to accuse others so openly?"
"If it weren't for the fact that it was as afraid of gold as a rat, why would the Song Dynasty be humiliated by the Tatars everywhere?"
"If they had the courage to attack us when they attacked the Tatars, why would they force them to rebel against us?"
"So when the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, we don't have to be afraid of the people sent by this foolish king!"
"We will defend Luoyang and Guanzhong to the death!"
After Lu You read the letter, he was the first to respond.
"yes!"
"This foolish king actually sent troops to attack us!"
"I will join forces with King Tudan Hexi of Qin, King Yuelin of Han, and Pu Sanzhongyi of Liang King to lead troops to resist the Song army and let them see the true strength of our Ming army today!"
Xin Qiji continued.
"good!"
"Since the Hunjun of the Song Dynasty wants to destroy us!"
"We have no retreat now. From today on, all of us in the Ming Dynasty will mobilize to resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty!"
"Prime Minister Lu, I will leave Luoyang to you and Prime Minister Han for the time being!"
"This time I plan to make myself the commander-in-chief of the middle route army, King Zhou as the military advisor, and King Han as the deputy general!"
"As for the King of Qin and the King of Liang, they each led their own troops to resist the attacks from the east and west directions of the Song Dynasty!"
"I wonder what you think?"
Xu Xian asked everyone.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to use my Xin Qiji and Han Wang Yuelin's subordinates as the main force, led by you personally, to protect the entire Henan Prefecture!"
"The King of Liang sent Zhongyi's army to the Eastern Route Army to resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty's Eastern Route Army in Bianjing!"
"And Qin King Tu Dan Hexi's army is in Guanzhong to resist the attack of Song Ting's army on the west route?"
"But if you do this, if Pu San Zhongyi faces Wang Qi, the most powerful army of the Song Dynasty, with an army of 200,000, it will probably be difficult to defend him!"
After Lu You listened to Xu Xian's order, he analyzed it.
"The Song Army seems to be the strongest with the 200,000 troops of Wang Qi, but in fact its strongest army is Li Xianzhong. After all, most of his subordinates are the Huaixi Army who are brave and good at fighting!"
"Although the Eastern Route Army of the Song Army is large in number, King Liang's army is not weak. In the end, King Liang's army cannot defeat the Eastern Route Army of Song Dynasty. It can also abandon Bianjing and return to Hulao Pass to defend it!"
"The weakest of the Song Army is Yu Yunwen's West Route Army. However, after all, it is blocked by the Qinling Pass. It will not be easy for the West Route Song Army to invade our Guanzhong!"
"Does His Majesty make this decision because he wants to personally lead me and King Han's army to deal with Li Xianzhong's army to decide the outcome?"
Xin Qiji also analyzed it.
"Your analysis is correct, this is my idea!"
Xu Xian nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty's decision is very wise!"
"But it's not that easy to deal with Li Xianzhong!"
Han Yanzhi also spoke.
"yes!"
"I heard that Li Xianzhong is very cunning and is not easy to deal with!"
Lu You also reminded.
"Since I want to personally lead the troops to deal with Li Xianzhong, of course I already have my own chance of winning!"
"Don't worry, gentlemen!"
Xu Xian has actually been waiting for this battle for a long time.
Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Xu Xian immediately issued his own edict, listing Zhao Gou's ten major crimes, telling the world that he officially rebelled against the Song Dynasty.
"King Qin!"
"King Qin...!"
"The Song Army has now stationed 150,000 troops in Xingyuan Mansion in the name of fighting against thieves, and is preparing to attack our Guanzhong area!"
At this time, a spy came to report the good news to Tu Danhe, who was stationed in Jingzhao Mansion.
"good!"
"I haven't had a good fight for a long time, now it's time to practice with these Song people!"
"And His Majesty just ordered me yesterday to supervise the troops and horses in Guanzhong to resist the Song invasion with all my strength!"
"Come here, please go down immediately. Everyone should prepare their troops and horses. Let's go to Fengxiang to wait for these Song people!"
After Tu Dan Hexi received the news from the spies, he immediately gave the order.
Bianjing Prefecture.
"Report to King Liang!"
"The Song Dynasty's east-route army has crossed the Huai River and is preparing to head towards Xuzhou!"
The spy reported to Pu San Zhongyi.
"What is supposed to come has finally come!"
"It's time for these Song people to see my servant San Zhongyi again and see the power of our Ming Dynasty's new army!"
"Tell everyone to follow me and rush to Xuzhou immediately!"
"In this battle, we don't care about victory or defeat, we must give the Song people something to show!"
Of course Pu San Zhongyi had already known the news that the Song army was coming.
