King of Song

Chapter 422
Jialu Village has fallen!

As soon as the news came out, the entire Northwest was in turmoil.

No one expected that the Xixia Kingdom, which had just agreed to sign a peace treaty, would immediately turn its face and send out troops. Suddenly, the northwestern land was once again full of flames, and the atmosphere was suddenly unprecedentedly tense.

Xixia was the first to bear the brunt of capturing Jialu Village. The goal couldn't be more clear-Fuzhou and Linzhou are in danger!
However, the Yang family in Linzhou moved to Bianjing after Yang Ye, and there was no famous person to guard it.Only Zhejia has been running Fuzhou for a hundred years, and everyone can see that Xixia's real opponent is Fuzhou Zhejia Army.

As for the purpose, I have to say that the Empress Dowager Liang is really quite courageous, and she is even more unpopular.The attack on Gyeongju and Yanzhou was fruitless, and Lin Zhao forced them to sign a peace treaty. Everyone who paid the five-year-old gift, and the inexplicable loss of dignity in Suizhou City, made the Empress Dowager Liang very angry.

The reason why there was no outbreak was because his younger brother Liang Yibu was captured by the Song Dynasty.Now that Liang Yibu has been released, how can the Empress Dowager Liang accept the content of the peace treaty calmly?All the anger and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time erupted, and what was lost at the negotiating table could only be found and snatched back on the battlefield.While retaliating, he also had a great appetite, and aimed at Linzhou and Fuzhou.

After conquering Jialu Village, Linzhou and Fuzhou were left in a state of isolation and helplessness (this is the case in the situation), and then Xixia sent troops to nibble away a little bit.After that, Xixia soldiers pointed directly at the bank of the Yellow River, which not only echoed with the Liao Kingdom, but even crossed the Yellow River and threatened the East Road of the Song Dynasty.The military disaster is not limited to the northwest, maybe the Song Dynasty was really afraid!

According to their consistent understanding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will definitely beg for peace at that time, and then they can take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain benefits, at least much better than the current humiliating situation.At the same time, the attack on Fuzhou also had other purposes, and only Queen Mother Liang knew it well.

"Sister, do you want to continue the war?" Liang Yibu, who returned to Suizhou, heard such shocking news before his butt was hot.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Queen Mother Liang asked back, her phoenix eyes were cold, and she was not angry.

Maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's the failure of Dashun City, coupled with the long period of captivity, Liang Yibu lost his former arrogance and courage.Standing in front of Empress Dowager Liang today, he only felt a strong pressure, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"The defeat of Dashun City is just like this? The humiliation you have suffered is so easy to let go? Do you want me to return to Lingzhou with such a humiliating peace agreement?" The series of reactions of Queen Mother Liang perfectly explained the reason for his war. .

Liang Yibu naturally did not dare to disobey what the Empress Dowager decided, not to mention that it had already happened and there was no time to stop it.Furthermore, upon hearing such a reason, Liang Yibu was also a little agitated. The sister's implication was to help him take revenge?If he could succeed in revenge in such a short period of time, then he would not be so ashamed when he returned to Xingqing Mansion, and he could somewhat regain some face, so he did not object.

"Thank you sister, I don't know how to arrange this battle?" After Liang Yibu thanked him, he was more concerned about the strategic deployment. He had suffered many losses before, but now he understands a truth, reckless actions will not succeed, and a long-term plan must be considered.

Empress Dowager Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, none of the enemies will be let go. When it's time for you to act, I will give you a chance to avenge your shame."

Looking at his sister's proud smile, Liang Yibu was very happy, but he was also vaguely worried, and an inexplicable sense of crisis crept into his heart.

The situation was similar to what Di Qing had expected. Xixia's goal was indeed Fuzhou, and the first dispatch of troops to Jialu Village was an excellent proof.

"Mr. Di, you really guessed it right!" Lin Zhao took full control of the peace talks. Although the peace treaty had already been signed, there were sudden twists and turns, and he could intervene in some matters.Of course, he also immediately reported to Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road in Yanzhou, waiting for instructions.

Di Qing was not modest, and said softly: "This is just one of them, and the next thing may also be misfortune to the old man."

"Oh? Did Mr. Di mean it?" Lin Zhao, Jiang Leiting, Li Cheng and the others were suddenly a little happy.

"The purpose of Xixia's move is on the surface of Fuzhou, but in the end, the young master is indispensable!"

“How come you see?”

Di Qing said with a smile: "Master, you may not know. When you handed over Liang Yibu yesterday, there were people following behind and watching, and the Xixia cavalry was nearby. It's just that the kid from the Zhong family has a good army. The army is neat and fierce. They dare not It’s all about acting rashly!”

"What does Mr. Di mean, that Xixia's goals will revolve around me?" A battlefield revolved around him and changed around him. Lin Zhao didn't know whether he should be honored or sighed.

"It's very possible, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it's really hard to say what will happen!" Di Qing stroked his beard, his eyes full of heroism and confidence.It seems to be back many years ago, in the situation of commanding the army in the northwest.It's just that now I can only strategize, and I can no longer charge into the battle with a mask and disheveled hair.

"That is to say, it's hard to judge Xixia's next move?" Li Cheng looked at the huge sand table in front of him, showing hesitation.They felt that the sand table was very novel, and at the same time admired the young master's whimsy.

Di Qing said: "Maybe they will attack Fuzhou violently, or they may attack Qingjian City by surprise. In short, they have taken the initiative by guarding Jialu Village, and there will be more choices."

Jiang Leiting shook his head and said, "The Xixia dispatch of troops was very sudden this time. Although the Mingyue Sect was able to detect the movement of the army, the information was very tight. It is really difficult to grasp the specific movement at present."

"Does Mr. Di have any suggestions?" The matter has been reported to Han Jiang, and once that side takes over, Lin Zhao can only obey orders.Since it was an opportunity, it would be best to make some contributions while I was still in control of the situation.Although the war cannot be rushed, they also have to race against time.

Di Qing pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Young master, do you want to verify it?"

"Verify what?" Lin Zhao suddenly became interested.

"Verify the old man's conjecture, and verify the degree of hatred that the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yibu have towards the young master!"

"Okay, how to verify?" Lin Zhao knew that Di Qing would never play such a joke, and there must be another purpose behind such a move.

Sure enough, Di Qing said: "Right now we need to hurry up, we can't accurately judge the movement of the Xixia army. Although it is safe to wait for the move, it is also passive. Otherwise, we will turn passive into active, and turn the guest into the main. What do you think?"

Li Cheng asked: "But how to take the initiative?"

Di Qing smiled, a little unfathomable, and said softly: "I have a feeling that in fact, there may not be a detailed battle plan in detail, and it will definitely be strictly implemented. It must also depend on the battlefield situation. If one of their targets It is to deal with the young master, so after the young master comes out, how will the Xixia people react?"

"The suzerain means to lead the Xixia people by the nose?" Jiang Leiting already understood.

"If this is the case, we will be more proactive, and we can respond calmly and counterattack forcefully and orderly!"

"But will Xixia people be fooled?" Li Cheng was a little worried.

Di Qing smiled slightly, looked at Lin Zhao and said meaningfully: "It depends on the young master's charm, but Liang Yi has been buried back, so it should increase the possibility!"

Lin Zhao smiled: "Let's try it, I want to know the answer too! But what's the specific trend?"

"Since the young master is on the horse, we can consider the matter of the Xixia iron kite!" Di Qing said: "This is a bit risky, but it is also a great achievement. If it is possible, the young master's move is to cut off the cavalry and cut off the horse's leg. You can try it. The young master also specifically explained Zhong Shidao and Liu Changzuo, so naturally we have to find something for them to do!"

"Did Mr. Di already have a plan?" Lin Zhao secretly rejoiced that having such an expert as Di Qing around saved him a lot of trouble.

"We already have half of Suizhou in our hands. If there is another half of Jingzhou, do you think it's too much?" Di Qing pointed to the huge sand table and said, "Jialu Village is the key link between Fuzhou and Yanzhou. In this land, Xixia can hold our throats. Then we will treat them in the same way. You see, in fact, Suizhou and Jingzhou are also out of the way? Can we also hold back What about their throats?"

"Then where are their throats?" Li Cheng asked softly.

"This is an enemy with a long neck!" Di Qing smiled and pointed to a blue line on the sand table, "Here it is!"

"Wuding River?"

"That's right!" Di Qing nodded and said, "Master, Zhe Kexing has been notified, and the Chong family is also on standby. When the time comes, the Zhe family army and the Zhong family army will cooperate with each other and advance along the Wuding River to fight for the Wuding River. The land on the east bank of the Ding River is completely under control."

"That's great!" Jiang Leiting clapped his hands and said, "In this way, the Xixia Army in Jialu Village will lose their way of retreat.

Li Chengdao: "Half of Suizhou, half of Jingzhou, a land of one state, the achievement of expanding the territory that has not been seen in decades will definitely shake the government and the public!"

"What about eliminating the iron kite?" Di Qing smiled, and they were full of confidence in the development of the battle.Even though the Empress Dowager Liang is painstaking and lonely, how can she be the opponent of Di Gong, a master of military tactics and a peerless famous general?She would never have thought that the drinks in Jialu Village were specially rewarded by Zhe Kexing under the instruction of Di Qing...

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Since Jialu Village has been captured, there is no room for loss. I should lead the army to retake it! Let's also make bait and see if we can turn the enemy into the master!"

"Okay, but remember, my lord, you must be careful!" What Di Qing was most worried about was Lin Zhao's safety. After all, on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, some personal soldiers came forward and reported: "Master Lin, Qin Shou, the guard of Jialu Village, came to plead guilty!"

"Who? Beast?"
