Chapter 806 Gamblers who decide to seek wealth and risk
Chapter 806
"I wonder what good ideas do you have? Now Li Ganshun's son sent 20,000 Xixia men to find us. And according to reports, they were garrisons who defended the Xixia king. They were all fierce soldiers on the battlefield who had been through battle formations. We were all Dangxiang people from all directions. It is easy for us to have our whereabouts fall into the ears of the Xixia army. In this way, the other party can calmly dispatch people. If we are not careful, we will easily fall into danger."
"Or why don't we go south and record the fierceness of the Xixia soldiers who are attacking Xinyanzhou, and then calmly withdraw to Baishi City."
"If you want to go there, we have to pass through Yaode City. Once the Xixia army knows that we are heading south through that place, as long as they arrive at Yaode City and block our way back, it is very likely that we will be made into dumplings by the other party. This transaction must not be done."
A group of cavalry generals came up with advice, but most of these strategies were not very tuned and had loopholes. Zhe Keshi himself was racking his brains to think for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good way to achieve the best of both worlds.
At this time, he was really missing Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, a wise and tricky person who always took a unique approach and brought unexpected surprises to people.
Now I can only rely on my own wisdom to solve this problem. The problem is that after thinking for a long time, I only came to one conclusion, that is, to avoid the attack for the time being. Otherwise, if these ten thousand elite cavalry were told here, I would really be hilarious...
The guys in front of him were even more troublesome to the point of not adjusting the plan, causing Zhe Keshi to get angry. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and stopped and said, "Everyone, don't make any random ideas. Please consider the consequences before you make any suggestions?"
"Sir, I think that we must withdraw if we want to withdraw. However, we cannot easily withdraw from Baishi City, but should let Xingqing Mansion feel the necessary threat..." At this time, Li Mao mustered up the courage to stand up and said.
"Since we are here, we won't leave an extremely deep impression on Xixia, then this trip is not worth it."

"Oh, tell me what you think?" Zhe Keshi's eyes fell on Li Mao and nodded to him to show encouragement.
"Divid the troops and walked slowly along the way, showing a momentum of trying to cross the river and enter Xingqing Prefecture, while the other side covered their flags and drums, walked north of the river, and seized the pier of a hundred miles northeast of Huaizhou. After crossing the river here, they rushed to Xingqing Prefecture and tried to capture it..."
Li Mao used his scabbard to draw a rough map on the ground. Everyone's eyes followed the tip of Li Mao's scabbard and listened to his explanation.
"Here...this is the royal tomb of Xixia..."
"...I said Lao Li, are you going to dig the ancestral graves of the Xixia people?!" Several generals of the Song army next to him couldn't help but take a breath, and looked at Li Mao with his eyes standing. Oh, I didn't expect this Xia Ting who turned to the Song Dynasty? No, he was originally a Han Chinese, so Xia Ting seemed to be inappropriate. In short, this guy's mind was also vicious enough.
But Li Mao ignored the thoughts of those people and continued: "Xingqing Mansion definitely dared not let us enter the ancestral tomb, so it will inevitably draw troops to support, and the best way to draw is here..."
"Xingqing Cang..." Liang Shou couldn't help but sniff at this time. "It turns out that your goal is here. If you can destroy Xingqing Cang, Xixia will be in big trouble. At least one-third of the grain reserves of Xixia are placed in Xingqing Cang."
"You mean, after digging the tiger away from the mountain and attracting the surrounding Xixia army to the imperial tomb, then this partial army will burn the Xingqing Cang." Zhe Keshi couldn't help but take a breath, and his eyes shone.
Xingqing Cang was the important place where the grain and grass were accumulated in Xixia Village. It was built at the beginning of the establishment of Xixia, and it was mainly used to store grain.
Xingqing Prefecture is the capital of the country and also stores a large amount of grain. The extra grain storage area, which is less than fifty miles away from the country, will be stored in Xingqing Cang.
Even if the strength of the Xixia Kingdom is greatly damaged, even if there is no reserve of food in the Xingqing Warehouse, if the Xingqing Warehouse, which is within a hundred miles of Xingqing Prefecture, is destroyed by the Song army, it will definitely greatly boost the morale of the Song Dynasty.
Similarly, it will also severely hit the confidence of the people of Xixia. The heartland of their capital will allow the Song cavalry to come and go freely. If Xixia cannot retaliate with strong means.
It will definitely greatly harm Xixia's prestige in this area, and will also make many small countries and tribes that were originally controlled by Xixia ready to move and arouse ambition to replace it.
"If this is the case, Xixia will inevitably be desperate, even at all costs, and will try to encircle and suppress this partial master..." Zhe Keshi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and after thinking from the perspective of others, he couldn't help but think about retreating.
"That's right, so the number of people in this partial division must not be large, and the war horses are at least one person, two or even three, so that they can create enough momentum, which is also conducive to escape from the encirclement when the Xixia army encircles and suppresses the enemy."
"So there are only two thousand people at most, and there are no more. The guards of Xingqing Cang are less than two or three thousand. As long as there is a warning from the imperial tomb, even if they meet Xingqing Cang, which is only twenty miles away, I think there will not be too many soldiers left behind. As long as the time is right, they will suddenly enter Xingqing Cang and ignite a fire."
"At that time, even if they return to Xingqingcang, I'm afraid they can only sigh..."
"This is indeed a wonderful move. If this strategy is successful, it is like breaking the Western Xia arm, but it is extremely risky." Zhe Keshi also had to admit that although Li Mao's strategy was very risky, the gains were absolutely valuable and could definitely hit the prestige of the rulers of the Western Xia.
If Xingqing Cang was burned, then the first thing the king of Xixia, Li Qianshun, needed to consider is not how to attack Yanzhou, but how to control the situation to prevent any abnormal movements among the tribes in Xixia who were lip service.
"But it is indeed worth taking this risk. The Xixia Kingdom was burned heavily. If it was spread, it would definitely cause the Western Xia army to fluctuate and panic. For our Song Dynasty, there is definitely a sensible advantage." The general next to him also agreed.
At this moment, almost everyone stood up enthusiastically and generously expressed to Zhe Keshi that he was willing to take on this important task.
Wealth and honor are in danger, not to mention that as long as you can succeed, you will definitely be no problem to have a wife and a child. Even if you are wearing a horse and a corpse, it is enough to leave your name in history.
Even Zhe Keshi was moved by himself and wanted to lead the team to do it himself. Unfortunately, he was the head coach. If he wanted to lead a partial division, he had to ask whether the more than ten generals present were willing.
