The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1406 Finally arrived in Kaijiang

Su Liuyi pondered for a while, and said: "Since Tubo Marshal Danba is willing to become a vassal, and there is Yuan Dynasty power in Tubo territory, for stability, I think we should support Tubo."

Lu Xiufu frowned slightly and looked at him, "It is necessary to fight, but now the emperor has led the army to Xixia, and there will be a big war in Xixia. At this time, we help Danba to pacify Tubo, will the logistical pressure be too great? And Tubo The terrain is extremely steep, and I am also worried that our soldiers may not be able to adapt to it..."

Su Liuyi said: "Dali's terrain is also high. Our soldiers in the Dali Military Region should be able to adapt to the Tubo environment, right?"

"You mean to send the Dali Military Region to attack Tubo?" Lu Xiufu asked again.

Su Liuyi nodded, "Although the Tubo army is limited in strength, I think that sending out the forbidden army can pacify central Sichuan faster, and it is better than sending out the Chengdu government's defenders."

Lu Xiufu looked at Zhong Jian, "What do you think, Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Jian thought for a while, and said: "This official is not particularly familiar with military affairs, but I think it may be safer to send out General Yuan's soldiers and the soldiers of the Central Shu Imperial Army at the same time."

His eyes flicked across the faces of Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi, "Since Tubo asked our country for help, we can let them bear part of the military rations, or use silver, horses, or even iron ore to make up for it. Send out to Sichuan Whether the imperial army or the two armies are dispatched at the same time, as long as Danba agrees, it will not cause too much pressure on the logistics of our Song Dynasty. Moreover, this can prevent Danba from pretending to be a vassal. Just imagine, just dispatching the imperial army or Chengdu If he deliberately surrendered to lure our army to go deep..."

"This……"

Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi looked at each other, both moved.

Then Su Liuyi smiled and said: "Then this matter will be handled according to what you said, Mr. Zhong. You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and this matter is also entrusted to you."

Zhong Jian was a little hesitant, "Deputy military order, the subordinate is just the Minister of the Ministry of War, and this matter is related to the overall situation of the front line, so let me make the decision..."

Su Liuyi said: "I said let you make the decision, so you can make the decision."

"The subordinate takes orders."

Zhong Jian heard what Su Liuyi said, so he had to agree.Then walked outside the house.

Lu Xiufu looked at Su Liuyi with a smile, and asked after Zhong Jian left, "Master Su has taken a fancy to Shangshu Zhong?"

Su Liuyi didn't hide it, and said: "School of agriculture, but can have such insights in the military, Zhong Shangshu is really good... Hehe, I am regretting for him now because he chose agriculture at the beginning. If he learns How to lead the troops to fight, I am afraid that he is also a very famous general in the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty."

Lu Xiufu smiled, "You don't overwhelm yourself with a lot of art, I think this may not be a bad thing."

"Maybe!"

Su Liuyi sighed: "However, there are young and knowledgeable officials like Zhong Shangshu in the court, and we old guys don't have to worry about having no successors..."

There was only laughter in the room.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Zhuwen's messenger arrived in Hanyuan City.

After Yuan Yinghao learned of the messenger's intention, he just asked him to report back to Liu Zhuwen, talking about the current situation in Tubo and Hanyuan, and asked Liu Zhuwen to wait for the emperor's decision.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Jian sent an urgent dispatch to Hanyuan City.

In his reply to Yuan Yinghao, he mentioned that Zhao Dongting had now led his army to Xixia, and he also mentioned his decision after discussing with Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu.

After reading the letter, Yuan Yinghao immediately sent a fast horse to the frontier, asking Danba to come over.

Only in the afternoon of this day, Danba led dozens of personal guards to Hanyuan city again.

Having just entered the city and saw Yuan Yinghao, Sun Leyu and others, Danba couldn't help but asked, "General Yuan, how dare you ask the emperor what he said?"

He has already begun to call Zhao Dongting the emperor, so no matter what Zhao Dongting decides, he will go to the end of the road of becoming a minister of the Song Dynasty.

Yuan Yinghao smiled lightly, and said: "Commander Danba, I am willing to let me and Marshal Liu of the Forbidden Army in Central Shu lead the army to join forces with you to quell Tubo. However, right now I am constantly fighting on the frontier, and there is a lot of pressure on the court. Sir, you should know this too. Therefore, I want you to bear the rations of our army and give our army enough compensation after the war. I wonder if you can agree, Marshal Danba?"

Danba couldn't help wrinkling his thick eyebrows, and said after pondering, "I don't know how much compensation I need?"

Yuan Yinghao said: "The salaries of our soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the pensions for the lieutenant soldiers who died in battle, and the loss of military equipment, I am afraid that Tubo will have to bear all of these."

Danba was silent again.

Yuan Yinghao's words were not accurate, which made him even more uneasy.Because he didn't know how much damage would be suffered by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and him in pacifying Tubo.

Only later, he thought of the previous achievements of the Great Song Imperial Army, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I agree. Even if we try to sell everything, we will never let Great Song suffer."

Yuan Yinghao smiled even wider, "Thank you, Commander Danba, for your understanding."

Danba looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice, "But... after Tubo is pacified, I don't know if your dynasty can..."

Yuan Yinghao said quietly: "Marshal Danba understands righteousness so well, I think our emperor will definitely support you, what do you think?"

Danba breathed a sigh of relief, "In this case, I feel relieved."

What he was talking about, of course, was whether Da Song could support him to become the king of Tubo after Tubo was pacified.

If it weren't for his ambition, he might not have agreed to these conditions offered by Yuan Yinghao.Because, for his Danba, there is not much practical benefit.

Afterwards, Danba and the generals in Hanyuan discussed for a long time how to calm down the Tubo armies.

Yuan Yinghao sent messengers out of the city to Liu Zhuwen's army, and asked Liu Zhuwen to lead his army to Bowo City, Tubo, where the two armies met.

The territory of Kuizhou in the Song Dynasty.

After several days of rapid trek, Zhao Dongting led the Flying Dragon Army to Dazhou.

If the army is going to fight against people in Dazhou, then this speed is enough to be called a blitzkrieg.

Some martial arts sects and Jianghu loose cultivators have already rushed to Dazhou City.

After Zhao Dongting led the army into the city, he immediately went to the army to see Zhao Dongting.

All the officials in Kaijiang City, Dazhou were very busy.

It is rare for the emperor to lead an army into the city, and he hastily passed through the city before.This time, they intended to stop in Kaijiang, so of course they had to entertain them well.

So because of Zhao Dongting's arrival, the whole Kaijiang City became extremely lively.

There are even more vendors on the street.

Zhao Dongting did not stop these officials from Kaijiang City, because there were still Wu Dingtang masters who had not arrived, so he ordered to rest in Kaijiang City for two days.Simply pass down the imperial decree and ask Kaijiang officials to reward the three armies for him.

This will naturally cause great pressure on Kaijiang's finances.

Only Zhao Dongting also said that the money used will be reimbursed to the Finance Department in two days.This made all the officials in Dekaijiang overjoyed.

It is of course a great thing for them to show their face and performance in front of the emperor without paying the county money.

On this day, another master from the Wuding Sect rushed to Kaijiang.

The Red Leaf Valley on Jiangnan West Road, Xiangzhou Shendazong, etc., after receiving the imperial decree from Zhao Dongting, they all traveled day and night, wearing stars and moons, and came to Kaijiang City.

Perhaps this is unimaginable for ordinary people, but for these masters of the real martial arts and upper yuan realms, it is not too difficult.

Zhao Dongting was willing to only let the domestic real martial arts masters gather, and seeing that there are Shangyuan masters from all sects rushing here, he felt relieved.

Although the masters of the Shangyuan Realm are useless against masters like Luo Tuo, they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored when fighting in large armies.

Zhao Dongting didn't let them go back.

Doing so may actually make them feel chilled.

After more and more masters gathered in Kaijiang City, Zhao Dongting entertained everyone.After the banquet, he sat alone on the roof of the house, lost in thought.

"Since the entire Jianghu is in motion, let's use the power of the entire Jianghu to fight against you, Luo Tuo, and you, the Great Xia Army..."

I just don't know where Li Xiushu is now, and whether she is alive or dead.

This is what Zhao Dongting is most concerned about now.

Li Xiushu had already walked into his heart unknowingly, and even the entire Xixia, in Zhao Dongting's heart, was not as important as Li Xiushu.

He can accept whoever Xixia belongs to in the end. Even if Daxia dominates, it will only be the Yuan army who can borrow from Xixia in the future.

And if Li Xiushu made any mistakes, he asked himself, it was hard to accept.

If Li Xiushu dies, he must have the entire Great Xia army to pay for his life!
