Chapter 443: The Han army moves, and Xixia is shocked
The border between the Han and the Western Xia.
Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan were stationed here in total with a total of 100,000 troops.
"Report to the general, the king sent an order to attack Xixia immediately without any mistakes."
Almost at the same time.
The two generals received the order from Liu Xie and rushed to attack.
"Hahaha, OK."
"I've been waiting for more than ten days, and I'm finally going to attack."
"Speedly send the army to start attacking immediately without any mistakes."
After receiving the order, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan ordered almost at the same time that a hundred thousand troops suddenly set off.
For the Han Dynasty, they never feared war, and even more so, they had to do the will of respecting the king, and looked down upon the enemy's direction.
The army attacked.
He headed towards Xixia with lightning speed.
The war begins.
And at the same time.
The court of Xixia Kingdom.
"Report."
"I heard from the emperor, and the border reported urgently that the Han army suddenly launched a war, breaking five border gates, and killing tens of thousands of defenders on our border, and are still advancing quickly." A 800-mile-rushing messenger came to the court in a hurry and reported.
"What?"
On the throne, Li Ganshun frowned and stood up suddenly.
Because the Han Dynasty sent secret guards to kill Helianshu and blamed the Liao Kingdom, the capital of Xixia was afraid of it, so it mobilized heavy troops to the northern border, but its defense against the Han Dynasty was not that strong. After all, in the vision of Li Ganshun and even the officials of Xixia, the Han Dynasty annexed Dali for only a few months, and the country was still not stable, and it was impossible to launch another attack on other countries.
This is not their assumption, but it is fundamentally possible.
It is easy to conquer territory, but it is difficult to govern territory.
Just like the founding emperor of Xixia who took away a lot of territory from the Song Dynasty, but in the end he lost a lot of territory.
"Report."
"An urgent report came from Qinzhou City."
"The State of Song has ceded five cities including Qinzhou and other bordering our Xixia to the State of Han."
But there is far more than one bad news.
After a close call, another urgent intelligence arrived.
"Song State, how dare they?"
"Did they sent envoys to Han State to ced the city?" Li Ganshun's face turned extremely gloomy.
This was something he never expected.
Even though he had planted many spies in the State of Song, the news of the State of Song ceding the city this time was not leaked, and even Li Ganshun had no news.
"It's so calculating."
"The Han Emperor is really sinister, the Han Emperor, gritted his teeth and thought.
If Liu Xie deliberately asked the State of Song to conceal the news of the ceasing of the city was a conspiracy, but when the news came out at this moment, it would be a real conspiracy. Li Ganshun had no way to change it, so he could only mobilize all national strength to fight.
"Emperor, the Han State attacked from two routes. Our Xixia must mobilize all our troops to deal with it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
"But the Liao Kingdom in the northern border still needs to be guarded. They designed to attack and kill General Helian. If they learned that the Han Kingdom had attacked our Xixia, they would never wait to die."
"The northern border needs to leave a heavy army to defend against the Liao Kingdom..."
The ministers of Xixia rushed to speak first, but undoubtedly, they had to send troops. However, the Liao Kingdom in the northern border made them afraid of it. Helianshu died that day, and now they are even more convinced that it was the Liao Kingdom who took action.
We must keep heavy troops to guard against the Liao Kingdom, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
After all, among the cognitions of the countries in the Northern Song Dynasty, the strongest country in the world was the Liao Kingdom. Even if the Han Kingdom had the power to embezzle Dali, it was much weaker than the Liao Kingdom. This is their cognition.
"My dearest officials are right. Han State must be defended, and Liao State must be defended even more." Li Ganshun nodded seriously.
"Your Majesty, now our Xixia army still has 400,000 troops, and we use 150,000 troops to defend the Liao Kingdom. The other twenty-five armies can fight against the Han Kingdom with all their might, and even defeat the Han Kingdom in one fell swoop, and solve this threat." A Xixia minister said.
"Is it enough to deploy 150,000 defenses on the Liao Dynasty's border?" Li Ganshun's expression was thoughtful.
The Liao Kingdom really gave him a strong sense of crisis. If the Liao Kingdom's cavalry raided down, then he would be in danger of Xixia.
"If you only defend and do not fight head-on with the Liao cavalry, it should be enough." A minister said.
"The strength of the Liao Kingdom lies in the power of the iron cavalry and the commander power of the Liao emperor, so the 150,000 troops guarding the border must be handed over to a general with the power of command." Li Ganshun lowered his voice and said, his eyes scanning the court.
Feeling Li Ganshun's gaze, the Xixia ministers in the court all lowered their heads. The commander of the 150,000 troops did take charge of the military power and was extremely powerful, but they were about to face the strongest Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom really sent troops, it would be a life-and-death death, so they all lowered their heads and did not dare to go out to command the troops.
"Hey, if General Helian was not attacked by the Liao Kingdom, he would definitely be the general who led the troops this time."
"Now there is no one in my Xixia court..."
Each of the civil officials shook their heads and said, extremely helpless.
But they didn't find it.
Among the military officials, the official ranks were not high. When he heard that there were 150,000 commanders guarding the border, his eyes couldn't help but look greedy.
"A 150,000 army, enough power. If I get it, there will be hope for restoring the Great Yan. This is my opportunity." Murong Fu's eyes were shining brightly, and he was very excited.
After being involved in Xixia for a long time, he had almost no chance of getting involved in military power, but this time he saw hope.
In this era.
Only with military power is the real power.
"A general of the Han Dynasty, wait for me. When I take charge of military power and restore Dayan, I will never let you go in the future." Murong Fu's eyes appeared in Lu Bu's crazy figure that day, and his heart was full of jealousy.
As the so-called royal family of the Great Yan family, he thought he was noble and even more arrogant. He prayed for Lu Bu in a low voice that day, but in the end he was coldly scolded by Lu Bu, which made Murong Fu consciously endure all kinds of humiliation.
Thinking.
Murong Fu did not hesitate and went straight to the center of the court, raised his head, and shouted: "My dear Li Yanzong was willing to command the army to take over the border of Liao Kingdom, and he would never let Liao Kingdom step into our Western Xia half a step."
"Li Yanzong?"
Li Ganshun frowned and looked at Murong Fu with a sense of strangeness on his face.
"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor."
"General Li was originally a general under General Helian. He had extraordinary martial arts and was able to command troops. He was more than enough to serve as a general stationed in the border." A military minister smiled.
"Yes, General Li does have the ability to command troops."
