Chapter 1517

"..." The big guys looked very bad, and they looked at each other awkwardly because of a conflict.

Yes, the money hasn't been obtained yet. What do we mean by this urgent thing? We are all wise men and women?

They all retreated silently and shyly to the train, and then stared at Wang Yang with the resentful gaze. Well... this guy is the culprit again.

"Okay, you guys, I already know this, Wangwushan. Those people from Xixia should not know this news, right?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked Wang Yang with concern.

"Your Majesty, those prospecting teams are very cautious. I think that in the short term, Xixia should not know. However, once my Song Dynasty really wants to mine copper, coal and other minerals there on a large scale, it will inevitably attract Xixia to see it. At that time, I am very worried. If my Song Dynasty does not take the initiative, it is very likely..."

When everyone heard Wang Yang's words, they were shocked. The military bosses couldn't sit still. After looking at each other, Wang Hou stood up as a representative and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, copper is the basis of our Song Dynasty taxes. What's more, if the copper mountain with such a huge output is not controlled by our Song Dynasty and falls into the hands of the enemy country, how can we hand over the sharp blade to the enemy country?"

"So, I think that since Xiao Shen, the general manager of the East Road of Beiliao River, intends to betray Liao and surrender to the Song Dynasty, he has been framed by Xiao Fengxian and angrily surrendered to our Song Dynasty. He took the lead as an example. I think Xiao Shen must know the importance..."

"It is not difficult to seize the area of ​​the East Road of the North Liaohe River with the help of our Great Song Dynasty. As Lord Wang said before, our Great Song Dynasty will definitely not be able to give the Western Xia a chance to repeat..."

This time, the ministers and workers in the court all believed that the strategy for the North Liaohe East Road should be launched in a timely manner. Only in this way can the revenge of the North Liao to the former North Liaodongjing Road can be better restrained.

Wang Yang was kept by the emperor, and the monarch and minister sat at the imperial study room, and even the confidant eunuch Ma Shang was rushed to the door.

"Wang Wushan, tell me the truth. How many troops are needed to securely capture the Hedong Road land of Beiliao?"

Seeing Wang Yang's expression of speaking, the emperor quickly raised his hand to stop him. "There are only you and I, the king and the minister here, so I want to listen to you to tell the truth. Of course, I hope that the fewer troops, the better, but in that case, if I fail to get what I want, it will easily drag down my strategy of establishing the world in the Song Dynasty and restoring the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

After hearing the emperor's extremely sincere explanation, Wang Yang nodded slightly, thought carefully and said. "If possible, I hope that your Majesty can hand over all the five thousand musketeers, one thousand mortars and two thousand musketeers currently in training to me."

"In addition, I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me the right to dispatch troops from Shaanxi North Road and Hedong Road to act cheaply..."

"It's really enough?" Emperor Zhao Xu smashed his mouth and looked at Wang Yang, who kept silent after saying these two sentences, asked again with some concern.

Seeing Wang Yang nodding seriously, "Your Majesty, soldiers are more important than elites. Moreover, you have seen the sharp combat capabilities of our Song Dynasty's musketeers, your Majesty, and you have seen them with your own eyes, which is worth 30,000 elites. As for the mortars and musketeers, if their cooperation complements them, they will be no less than more than ten thousand elite troops."

"What's more, my main purpose is not to fight, but to appease and deterrent. If Xiao Shen wants to surrender to our Song Dynasty, then he must have been secretly preparing for this period of time.

With his cooperation, coupled with the military power of Hedong Road and Shaanxi North Road in the Song Dynasty, it is enough to make the Northern Liao defenders who have been terrified by our Song Dynasty surrender."

After hearing Wang Yang's clear analysis and explanation, Emperor Zhao Xu finally felt relieved. "I was worried that you would deliberately lower your requirements in order to prevent the court from opposing your strategy of ​​the East Road of Beiliaohe. Now it seems that you are indeed confident..."

"Your Majesty is wise. Now in Xixia, it has first lost a large area of ​​wealthy land in the east, and then nearly 30% of the land was split by the Northern Liao Dynasty. It has also lost such vital places as Zhuo and the Southern Army because Narenduozongbao surrendered to our Song Dynasty."

"The strength of Xixia has been severely damaged, so it is unsustainable. Therefore, at this time, even if Xixia saw our Song Dynasty attacking Hedong Road in Northern Liao, its strength was greatly damaged and it lost a large area of ​​buffering. Even if Xixia was anxious, it would be difficult to rescue it."

"If they really dare to send troops, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under General Zhe Keshi were definitely not placed there to watch the fun. They could enter the bank of the Yellow River and capture the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia, so that the Xixia army would return to the aid.

Otherwise, I, the Song Dynasty, could have been able to grab the grass and beat the rabbits, and then seize the capital of the Western Xia. In that case, even if the Western Xia was unable to destroy the Western Xia and lost the land of Xingqing Prefecture, it would be like the rootless duckweed, and could only escape from the grassland, just like the Huns of the Han Dynasty and the Turks of the Tang Dynasty…”

"Yes, but for safety reasons, let's do this. I will draw two more battalions of imperial artillery to help you. Even if I can't win, I must not give the Northern Liao or Xixia opportunities to take advantage of." After thinking for a long time, the emperor finally nodded and agreed to Wang Yangzhi's brilliance.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. With these two battalions of imperial artillery, I can guarantee you with confidence that you will not be able to Hetao, and I will not return to the army." Wang Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately made a deep promise to the emperor.

"No need, I just hope you can return safely. You are my right-hand man. I still think that one day, you, my monarch and ministers will build the Song Dynasty into a prosperous country that surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties." Emperor Zhao Xu reached out to support Wang Yang and said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be sure to be my destiny. I am still thinking about how to be your highness's army so that you can live up to your great trust. I hope that our great Song Dynasty can be passed down for thousands of generations."

On the surface, Wang Yang was still staying in Bianliang, but in fact, Wang Yang was secretly entrusted by the emperor to serve as the governor of Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty and the North Shaanxi Road, and was in charge of the military power of Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty and the North Shaanxi Road.

In addition, Wang Yang personally commanded ten musket cavalry battalions, four musket battalions, two mortar battalions, and two imperial artillery battalions, a total of more than 9,000 people quietly left Tokyo Bianliang and headed towards Linzhou at the north end of the East Road of the Song Dynasty.

In order to march secretly, the army first broke into pieces. The musketeers all hid in the morning and left at night, heading northwest along the cement straight road. The musketeers, mortars, and imperial artillerymen took boats and disguised as cargo. They first walked east along the Wei River, then turned north, swam up the Yellow River, and went straight to Suide.

Although the waterway was slow, it took less than a month to arrive at Suide City, and gathered with the fast five thousand musketeers.
