Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1982: Song Zu leads the army in person, Zhao Song fights the whole country

At present, among the many advisers of Zhao Song, Zhao Kuangyin can only ask Xie Guanying for his opinion on this matter.

There is no other reason. Now, among his most important advisers, there is only one Xie Guanying, so he can see the situation clearly from a bystander's perspective.

The others will definitely be affected by the blood debt back then!

When Huang Ying was killing people, he went to the residences of the highest-ranking ministers of Zhao Song. Chu Zhaoye and Han Chongming, who used to be powerful in Zhenxi Prefecture, like Zhao Anling in Zhendong Prefecture, were definitely unavoidable.

As for Zhao Pu, he was implanted into Zhao Kuangyin's family, which was even more tragic! His newly born son died in that incident.

There was only one Xie Guanying, and he had no family at all. Why would he care if only a few maids died?
Xie Guanying can be regarded as the most unscrupulous person among Zhao Kuangyin's advisers to achieve his goals. People like him have no emotions at all.

For Xie Guanying, even his wife and children may not have much weight in his heart, let alone other people.

"Your Majesty, when our dynasty was founded, the Huangfu clan entered Kaifeng and killed people regardless of age. This is an act that has angered God and the people! I think we should attack Xicang and avenge the blood debt." Xie Guanying pondered for a moment before saying it firmly.

The generals below were also very interested and obviously wanted to fight again.

After hearing Xie Guanying's suggestion, Zhao Kuangyin's face became gloomy for a moment and he began to weigh the pros and cons.

If a war really breaks out as Xie Guanying said, the disadvantage is that Xue Rengui's army will be completely freed up, and the Northern Han will have more troops deployed to the Henan and Qingdi battlefields.

But the benefits are also obvious.

Firstly, it can divert the conflicts among the generals.

Zhongcang belongs to the Huangfu family, and Xicang also belongs to the Huangfu family. For these generals, there is not much difference between seeking revenge on Zhongcang and seeking revenge on Xicang.

Secondly, if the target is set on Xi Cang, it can avoid temporary conflict with the powerful Northern Han.

Zhao Kuangyin had little chance of winning against Northern Han. But if it was Western Cang, it would be completely different. Zhao Kuangyin still had this confidence.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about Xue Rengui's army?" The mature and steady Han Chongming seemed to see Zhao Kuangyin's worries, so he asked.

"Yes, if our army attacks Xicang, Xue Rengui's army will definitely enter Henan!" Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

Once Xue Rengui's army enters Henan, the Northern Han's advantage in Henan will be even greater.

"Your Majesty, the main force of our army has entered Xicang, and Xue Rengui's army may enter Henan. However, Your Majesty, don't forget that Huangfu Guyuan still has 100,000 troops in the west!" Han Chongming reminded.

If they started this war, Xue Rengui's army would no longer have to guard against Xicang, but it would also mean that Huangfu Guyuan's troops would no longer have to guard against Zhao Song.

"Not only that, Your Majesty, the Huangfu family still has some strength. Although Zhongcang has fallen into decline, this battle will not be over in a short time!" Zhao Pu also added.

Coming from the Zhenxi Zhao family, he knew something about the family's heritage. Because of this, he knew that the Huangfu family would not perish so easily!
The foundation of the Huangfu family is naturally far beyond what the Zhenxi Zhao family alone can compare to.

"Your Majesty, even if our army does not march to Xicang and Xue Rengui's army does not enter Henan, what chances does Huangfu Guyuan have of winning?"

Chu Zhaoye, one of the two elder ministers of the previous generation, also spoke at this time.

"In this era of great strife, the Northern Han is growing stronger day by day, and our Song Dynasty must not stand still!" Chu Zhaoye said very seriously.

Chu Zhaoye, one of the two old ministers of the previous generation, has always played the role of a hardliner and a war advocate in Zhenxi Prefecture.

In his opinion, after the Battle of Tongcheng, one third of Zhongcang's troops were officially wiped out, but it did not cause too many casualties to the Northern Han.

With this foundation, the gap between the two sides has widened. Moreover, especially in the past few years, the Northern Han has enjoyed good weather and abundant successor strength.

Therefore, in his opinion, if there are no accidents, in the battle between Northern Han and Zhongcang, Northern Han will probably be the final winner, it is just a matter of time.

At most, the addition of Xue Rengui's army would shorten this process.

What was expected was that after this battle, Northern Han would definitely become stronger.

If the Zhao Song Dynasty did not expand in line with the trend, they would continue to fall behind the Northern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Xicang must be taken!
By taking over one of the four river areas, the future Zhao Song Dynasty will have sufficient mobilization capabilities once a war breaks out.

Zhao Kuangyin remained silent, but his expression changed more and more. If he didn't start a war, it would be fine. But if he did, the chain reaction would be too great.

Therefore, even he couldn't make a decision immediately. He had to think about it again.

And those advisers just stood there quietly without saying much. They were only responsible for giving suggestions, which was also their duty as advisers. However, in the end, the one who really made the decision still had to depend on Zhao Kuangyin above.

It was not until half an hour later that Zhao Kuangyin's expression, which had been changing constantly, began to calm down, until it finally turned into unshakable firmness.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately slammed the table, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind. I am determined to send troops to attack Cang and avenge the shame of the Song Dynasty. Where is Wen Tianxiang?"

"My subordinate is here."

A middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up. He was Wen Tianxiang, who became famous through the ages for his ten-odd words "Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history."

He is the character in the poetry and random summoning card. After he was born, he was implanted in the Shangyin Academy. At the invitation of Xie Guanying, he came to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin also showed full attention to Wen Tianxiang's arrival.

After all, Wen Tianxiang was a man of both civil and military talents. Not only was he well-educated, but he was also only in his thirties, but he had already reached the level of a master and had even done some research in military tactics.

He would naturally value such a talent.

The current Wen Tianxiang is not just the Wen Tianxiang in history. In the previous random summon card, Wen Tianxiang's general soul was listed. This general soul came from the legend of the emperor.

Wen Tianxiang in the Legend of Heaven and Man is definitely one of the biggest background figures.

In the Legend of the Emperor, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols had already become powerful. Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, used the "divine calculations of Zhuge Liang" to predict the fate of the country and got a surprising answer. The fate of the Song Dynasty was about to end, and the Mongolian Tartars dominated the world. The Central Plains was about to fall into a dark period of 800 years. The only hope was to shorten this dark period as much as possible, reducing 800 years to 100 years.

When the Southern Song Dynasty was about to perish, Wen Tianxiang took great pains to refine the Tianxiang Five Spirits in order to restore the Han Dynasty in the future.

The Five Spirits of the Sky is the collective name of the five great artifacts, namely the Wanxiang Zhenzang, the Wushen War Weapon, the Taiji Mysterious Coffin, the Cornucopia and the Supreme Dragon Palace, representing the tactics of grammar, the defense of the enemy by military commanders, the martial arts of the emperor, the boundless wealth and keeping a low profile.

It was with the help of the Five Spirits of Tianxiang that Wen Tianxiang was able to shorten the time to one hundred years.

In addition, Wen Tianxiang’s two great disciples, Zhao Bing and Zhang Junbao, are the two ceiling figures in the six legendary emperors.

"I obey your command!" Wen Tianxiang replied.

This article was quite easy for Wen Tianxiang to write.

He didn't even need to look for the Huangfu family's black spots, he could easily find a lot of them.

Starting from the previous emperor's Siming Rebellion, this can be well publicized. By the way, it is not only to help the Huangfu family to promote it, but also to help the Wang family to promote it.

The late emperor, Wang Chang and a small number of people of that generation were unwilling to talk about those things again. They had a past that was too heavy and there were many stains in their lives.

But, for them, that is totally unimportant.

The Zhao family didn't say that they had nothing to do with that incident back then, but they certainly didn't participate much.

In addition, the blood debt committed when the Zhao Song Dynasty was founded is a heavy stroke.

The massacre by those gods and men indiscriminately distinguishing between the young and the old will be a disgrace wherever they go!
Not to mention, there were traces of demonic power that day.

Although after that incident, it seemed as if all clues were lost, as if the appearance of these magic skills before was just an illusion. However, many people have not relaxed their investigation of this matter.

Today, there are still many outsiders hidden in the Great Cang who are quietly paying attention to this matter.

"Ah."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded. He was naturally very familiar with Wen Tianxiang's level. If he took action, it would definitely undermine the reputation of the Huangfu family.

Three days later, Zhao Kuangyin swore an oath to lead his troops to war outside the city of Kaifeng, officially starting the Zhao Song's war of revenge.

In this battle, Zhao Song had mobilized all its forces!

For this battle, Zhao Kuangyin planned to dispatch 200,000 troops. When the subsequent food and supplies were prepared, they would be divided into two armies and officially march into the counties of Xicang.

Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, this is definitely the whole country of Xi Cang. In addition to leaving a certain number of defensive troops in the western border, even in the east, Zhao Song is now in a state of emptiness, with only a mere 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the eastern border.

However, for Zhao Song, the situations in the eastern and western borders were completely different.

After all, there was the huge empire of Dawu to the west of Zhao Song, so they naturally did not dare to take it lightly at any time. Just like the Northern Han Dynasty always had a large army stationed at Tianlang Pass.

But the situation in the east was different. Not only was there a strong pass in hand, but also, at that time, Huangfu Guyuan had no possibility of attacking Zhao Song. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Kuangyin could withdraw troops from the east as much as possible.

Besides, with the strong pass in the east, even if there are only 30,000 soldiers stationed there, it will be no problem to hold out for a month or two even if a large enemy army invades.

In fact, with the help of Xiongguan, it is unlikely that any problems will occur in three months.

This period of time was enough for Zhao Kuangyin's reinforcements to come and go several times.

In addition to troops and horses, Zhao Kuangyin also mobilized all his generals and advisers for this battle.

He personally led the army to fight, and appointed Zhao She and Zhao Wuji as deputy generals in the central army, and Lian Po as the commander-in-chief of the second route.

Among the advisers under his command, except for Zhao Pu and Han Chongming who were in charge of the rear, the rest included Xie Guanying, Chu Zhaoye, Lou Huan and others, and none of them was left behind.

Among Zhao Kuangyin's advisers, Zhao Pu's strategic level is naturally beyond doubt, but relatively speaking, his governance level is even higher than his strategic level. Zhao Kuangyin has always trained Zhao Pu as a senior official of his six ministries.

After all, for Zhao Pu, being a high-ranking official in one of the six ministries was already his limit. If he wanted to go one step further and become one of the two prime ministers, the obstacle would be quite large.

Zhao Pu was implanted into the Zhenxi Zhao family, and now he is a member of the Zhao clan. The benefits brought to him by this identity are self-evident. When the country was founded, he was directly a duke. If it were not for the bloodline, what would the other civil and military titles be?
However, at certain times, bloodline is also a constraint for him. Since ancient times, the number of powerful royal family members who want to become the head of civil officials or one of the two prime ministers can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, once such a person appears, it represents the weakening of imperial power.

After all, the royal family are the people closest to the imperial power. They are the people the emperor trusts the most, but at the same time, they are also the people the emperor is most wary of.

In addition, Zhao Song mobilized six god-level generals for this battle, including Xuanwu, Gao Chong, Zhao Kuangwu, Xia Luqi, Xia Shuyan, and Gao Yanping.

Only the two powerful generals of the royal family, Zhao Bifang and Zhao Changling, were still sitting in the rear, guarding against various places.

In addition to these god-level generals, Zhao Kuangyin also dispatched countless heaven-level generals for this battle. The three commanders of the Divine Bow Camp, Jian Shang, Yin Qiangu, Duan Hou and the entire Divine Bow Camp were dispatched, as well as the Divine Bow Camp's real hidden killer, the fourth commander Chu Yin, who had always been unknown.

Jian Shang, Yin Qiangu and Duan Hou are the three who are the deterrents in the open, while Chu Yin is the one who hides in the dark and delivers the fatal blow. If he doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once he does, blood will be shed.

If Zhao Kuangyin had not ascended the throne and wanted to kill that celestial being, I'm afraid that people in the world would not know that the Divine Bow Camp actually had a fourth commander who had been hiding.

Gao Siji, Gao Huaide, Gao Shunli, Gao Sixiang, Hu Sheng and other masters also followed the army and participated in this battle.
