Chapter 579

"Do you think it's possible?" Su Dashi sucked in a toothache, always thinking why this kid always likes to have some strange thoughts in Guli.

"Liang Yibi is the prime minister of Xixia, with one person above ten thousand people." Zhang Qi couldn't help but remind Wang Yang with a hint of laughter and cry.

Wang Yang smiled faintly and used only one sentence to slam the two old drivers back. "It's a pity that the young Xixia king did a stupid thing and the first imperial edict went to find trouble for Liang's family."

Before they could continue talking, Wang Yang began to analyze it on his own.

"After that, he kept mailing the imperial edict to return to Xingqing Prefecture, but Liang Yibu never returned. This shows that the conflict between the Prime Minister of the Western Xia and the King of the Western Xia has reached an irreconcilable time."

"My lords, don't forget that Li Ganshun did this, naturally, because he was the king of the Xixia people, so he would have to seek justice for the Xixia tribes who had just suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy losses."

"One option is that he immediately raised a large army and attacked our Song Dynasty, and used a victory to cleanse the shame. But he did not do so, but used another option."

"That is to ask for peace from our Song Dynasty, and then, he intends to push out his mother's family as a scapegoat for the great defeat of Xixia to calm the anger of the Dangxiang tribes, to calm the disputes in the country, and to ensure that it gains support from the central tribes of Xixia."

Hearing Wang Yang analyze this, Su Dongpo and others' expressions became more and more cautious. "I heard what you said, it seems that this is true."

"The Xixia king seemed to be too young after all, and his methods seemed a little too impatient. In fact, it was not too late to wait for Liang Yibu to return to Xingqing Mansion before taking action."

"Maybe this young king has accumulated too much dissatisfaction with his mother's family in the past, so he is so impulsive." Zhang Feng waved his head lightly. It seemed that the young king was still too young, and impulsiveness could easily lead to bad things.

But then again, it seems that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is not much older, but fortunately, the Empress Dowager is still in good health.

"The general Liang Yibu, the prime minister of the Western Xia and Xixia, is neither a loyal minister, nor selfish. So, what would he do if the Xixia king oppressed too urgently and had too much coercion?"

"Is it possible to cause trouble?" Su Dongpo's eyes lit up, and his tight brows gradually stretched out.

Zhong Shidao couldn't help but say deeply. "This is very likely. Lord Xiao Wang, I don't know how you want to do it, so that the young Xixia king will continue to threaten Liang Yibi and make him lose his foot?"

"There are many ways, but let Liang Yiji raise troops to rebel. How much will his chance of winning be in the face of the power of the whole country in Xixia?" Wang Yang thought for a while, and couldn't help but shook his head slowly. With such a result, although it seemed that the Song Dynasty could be happy and leisurely around, he could be a quiet melon-eating crowd to watch the show.

However, such civil strife was not what Wang Yang wanted to see.

Zhong Shidao gave his judgment with great certainty. "There is definitely no chance of winning. Although Liang Yibu was the prime minister of Xixia, he has now suffered a great defeat and the Liang family has become the target of all ethnic groups in the Dangxiang.

And except for the 40,000 Han troops, the rest are all Dangxiang people. If they really need to meet soldiers and soldiers, if there is no foreign aid, he will have to..."

"Since the Northern Liao Dynasty let Li Ganshun take power, he will definitely not allow any more opportunities for the ups and downs of his mother's important ministers like Liang Yifu. I'm afraid even Liang Yifu is naturally very clear, so he would garrison in Hongzhou, south of the Jianing Military Office and refuse to return to Xingqing Prefecture."

"As long as you return to Xingqing Mansion, I am afraid that what is waiting for him will be the end of the destruction of the Liang family and the massacre of all the clans."

"It would be a pity if there was a conflict between Liang Yi and Xixia, and just watched Xixia fall into civil strife, but I, the Song Dynasty, did nothing," Zhe Kexing stroked his long beard and couldn't help but mutter.

"The old general made sense, but in fact, Wang felt that it would be better for me, the Song Dynasty, than to sit and watch the civil strife in Xixia. Maybe the benefits we get will be far beyond our imagination." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and said thiefly.

"Is this good?" Su Dongpo saw Wang Yang's appearance, and an unknown premonition suddenly rose from the ground. It seemed that this guy wanted to make trouble again, and he wanted to do big things.

"Several adults, isn't this good? If Liang Yibi can surrender to my Song Ting, not to mention the more, the 40,000 Han troops under him will probably be the help of our Song Dynasty to attack Xia in the future."

"What's important is that Liang Yibi was the prime minister of Xixia for many years and knew all the various situations within Xixia. If he had helped him, it would definitely be a great help for our Great Song Dynasty to attack Xia."

The old general Zhe Kexing stood up and walked to the hanging map beside him, with his eyes shiny. "Also, Hongzhou is located in the south of the Jianing Military Office. Not only is the terrain dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after passing Hongzhou, it is an open land, taking Hongzhou, and there is no barrier between north and Yuzhou."

"Old Zhe, you forgot to say one thing, that is, if my Song Dynasty could take over Youzhou, it would be equivalent to breaking one of the arms of Xixia and cutting off all the connections between Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Longzhou, and Shizhou and Xingqing Prefecture."

"And the west of Youzhou is Yanzhou, the most important source of wealth in Xixia. If Hongzhou and Youzhou are also lost, the Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia is equivalent to a wide open door. At that time, our Song Dynasty only needed to station troops on the front line of Youzhou and Hongzhou to wait for work. Even if Xixia, which was threatened in the hinterland, had to fight for his life, he could only attack..."

The old driver Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel moved. His fingers rubbed, and his heart kept weighing and calculating the benefits and interests. "They are now losing nearly half of their elites. If Liang Yili surrendered to our Song Dynasty, they would definitely reduce the strength of Xixia to another level, and then take Hongzhou and Youzhou by our Song Dynasty to block the four states..."

"Then Xixia is not just a simple matter of damaging muscles and bones. Maybe I may see the destruction of Xixia in my lifetime."

"Everyone, do you all think this strategy is feasible?" Su Dongpo also stood in front of the map, looked at the huge map, and looked at the terrain of Xixia. Between Xingqing Prefecture and the four prefectures, there was a huge desert land. If the army wanted to cross the sand sea directly, it was extremely dangerous. When the southern road was blocked, if Xingqing Prefecture wanted to contact the eastern prefectures, it had to go all the way north, reach the Hetao area, then go down the river, and go south through the northern Liao territory before entering the eastern prefectures.

This circle is only three hundred miles away from going through Youzhou to the eastern provinces, and it is seven or eight hundred miles more.
