Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 496 Battlefield Situation
Seeing Zhao Mu's expression, Qiao Feng and others saw the clues.

Qiao Feng asked at this time: "Brother Xian, I don't know who this is?"

Zhao Mu introduced awkwardly: "This is my wife, Princess Li Qinglu of Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom."

Li Qinglu also raised her hands to everyone and said, "My little girl has met all the seniors."

Qiao Feng and the four elders of the Beggar Clan were all shocked when they heard this.

Wu Changfeng pointed at Li Qinglu and asked: "Why are you the princess of Xixia Kingdom? Then"

When Li Qinglu saw Wu Changfeng who was straight-faced, she felt that this man was stupid, and then she laughed and said, "Yes, I am the barbarian that the old gentleman said."

Qiao Feng asked in confusion at this time: "Brother Xian, what is going on? I heard about the marriage recruitment in Xixia before. Princess Yinchuan is the legitimate daughter of the King of Xixia, why is she here?"

Zhao Mu looked at the puzzled expressions of everyone and replied: "The thing is like this. In fact, although the expedition to Xixia this time seems to be quite large, but in fact, I have already discussed it with the King of Xixia and the Queen Mother of Xixia. This time I will march to the west. The conquest did not harm the people. As long as the main force of the Xixia Kingdom led by the warlike nobles of Xixia was defeated and the troops came to the city, they would surrender. After that, the Xixia Kingdom as a whole formally surrendered to the Song Dynasty and moved west to the Qingtang area to establish a new Xixia Kingdom. The entire territory of Xixia Kingdom, including the Hexi Corridor, belonged to the Song Dynasty. After that, our two countries worked together to deal with Tubo and Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Mu looked at Li Qinglu and then said: "Yinchuan is the envoy sent to me by the Xixia Kingdom. She is here to help me persuade the Xixia Army and the generals to surrender. Secondly, she is to supervise my implementation of military law. If our Song Dynasty army has any I will punish those who committed crimes and committed crimes against the people immediately.”

Wu Changfeng laughed at this time and said: "Haha, it seems that this little princess is very open-minded." Wu Changfeng held his hand and said, "Little girl, just now the person named Wu was full of farts and made rude remarks. You, sir, don't act like someone named Wu. It’s so good, so good, the people of both countries will bleed less, hahaha.”

Qiao Feng and the four elders were shocked after hearing this. They have fought against the masters of the Xixia Yipin Hall many times over the years, especially the four older elders, who were fighting to the death against the Xixia people back then.

Zhao Mu did not tell others that Zhezong planned to confer the entire Xixia Kingdom to him. He only said that he would give him Lingzhou City and then make him the governor of Hexi Province, and the entire Ganliang would belong to him.

But the sad thing is that according to what Zhao Mu said, the Xixia Kingdom has become a thing in the pocket, and they really don't need to take action. Now that they can recover so easily with the help of a woman, what does their hard work in the first half of their lives count? Are you messing around?

Now that Zhao Mu can calm down Xia so easily, this makes them both happy and unacceptable.

Li Qinglu said: "That's it. This time we are not so much attacking Daxia, but working together to eradicate the militants. Then we will completely achieve peace between the two countries. By then, everyone will benefit from all three parties. My father, the King, also The Song Dynasty will eradicate the warlike clan nobles who disobey him, and the Song Dynasty will take back the ancestral land that you Han people call home, and my husband will be the governor of this new Xixia Kingdom in the future."

Fortunately, the Western Xia Han Dynasty was finally recovered by the Song Dynasty. This is a historic moment since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "That's it. Although this line of work is unavoidable, we, the Song Dynasty, have dispatched the absolute main force this time. Even if the Xixia Kingdom resists, it will be nothing more than a mantis trying to do something. Besides, Qinglu is here, our army There is no harm in doing this, so I won’t bother my brother and elders this time.”

Qiao Feng let out a long breath, then smiled and said: "Haha, it can save the blood of the people of both countries. This is indeed a great good deed. In that case, dear brother, let's go back to Luoyang Headquarters first. If my dear brother needs anything in the future, you can call me as a brother. I am willing to help the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Mu also held up his hands and said: "Well! If the younger brother needs it, he will definitely bother the elder brother." Because Zhao Mu had to lead the army on an expedition, Qiao Feng and others did not delay, and then said goodbye to Zhao Mu and turned back. Went to Luoyang.

Zhao Mu led the army to march for half a month, and finally arrived at Qingzhou, the border town of Xixia Kingdom and Song Dynasty.

To the north of Gyeongju City are the two gateways of Lingju City, Xiazhou City and Xipingfu.

Now the armies of the Song Dynasty and Xixia have already set up their formations here. Zhao Mu led his troops to Gyeongju City to join King Chunghyo and General Yang.

In the prefect's mansion in the city, everyone met.

King Zhongxiao and General Yang personally welcomed Zhao Mu's arrival. Although everyone was hesitant about the veiled Li Qinglu and Xiaolei, these two women were close to Zhao Mu and they did not dare to ask any more questions.

Zhao Mu came to the main room, looked at the big sand table in front of him, and then asked: "General Yang, Deputy Commander Hu Yan. What are the trends of the Xixia Army now?"

King Zhongxiao led Zhao Mu to the sand table and said: "Return to the commander. Now our army and the enemy have set up their positions. Among them, our army has set up camp on Yan'an Road and on the north side of Qingzhou Prefecture. We were previously in charge of Xining. The troops in Lanzhou and Lanzhou were also in place to contain the enemy. However, in addition to warning the Xixia soldiers, they also discovered the movements of the Tibetan army. "

Zhao Mu was not surprised that Tubo would interfere.

Zhao Mu asked: "Who is stationed in Lanzhou now?"

King Zhongxiao replied: "The one currently stationed in Lanzhou is the dog Hu Yanxian, and the one stationed in Xining is the dog's son-in-law Yang Wenzhong."

After hearing this, Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Yes, he is a suitable candidate. By the way, give the two generals orders immediately. In addition to containing the enemy on the flanks and covering the main force of our army, they also need to pay more attention to the Tibetan army. By the way. ! Does our scout know the number of Tibetan troops?"

King Zhongxiao replied: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, according to the reports from the scouts, the Tibetan army this time is mainly composed of the most elite Qingtang Army. The number is probably more than 100,000."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but frown, and he asked: "How many troops do we have on the front line in Xining Prefecture now?"

General Yang said: "My son has three thousand Tianbo Mansion disciples under his command, as well as thirty thousand soldiers and eight thousand cavalry assigned to him by the last general."

After hearing what General Yang said, Zhao Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He said: "Very good! The advantage in this battle is ours. Order General Yang to act according to the situation. If the Tubo people make any changes, they can fight on their own without reporting." Then tell your subordinates that you don’t have to hold back when dealing with the Tibetan army. The military order that strictly prohibits the killing of prisoners of war is only valid for the Xixia army. For the Tibetan army, we will not accept any prisoners.”

Li Qinglu frowned when she heard this and said: "You are not out of your mind, right? Thirty thousand plus eight thousand plus three thousand, your army of the Song Dynasty is only a little more than forty thousand. The Tubo army has more than one hundred thousand, not counting the Xiliang Mansion of the Great Xia The soldiers of Xuanhua Mansion are outnumbered, so you still want them to kill the enemy?"
