Li Fengxiao remained silent.

He was just a general who led troops to fight. He didn't need to consider what Li Foma said. He just needed Li Fo to tell him clearly whether to fight or not. If it were the current situation, Li Mingxin would just say nonsense, and there were only six thousand wings troops, but for no reason, thousands of cavalry, rolling wood and stones all over the mountains, and inexhaustible fires, and thousands of gunners and crossbowmen. No one dared to go to fight with this chaotic news.

After looking at Li Mingxin, Li Foma's expression became cold and said to Li Fengxiao: "I remember there was news before that there was a sugar sugar service in Yongzhou that could organize tens of thousands of rural soldiers. We don't take these rural soldiers seriously. If those rural soldiers really have the power to fight?"

Li Fengxiao shook his head: "Marching and fighting is not a joke. You can go to the battle formation by just catching someone casually. After all, the village soldiers are also village soldiers. They are civilians, not soldiers. It is reasonable to shaking the flag and shouting, but it is absolutely impossible to rush into the battle formation."

Li Mingxin's mind flashed, and he grabbed a straw and said loudly: "The general said this a little badly. Those rural soldiers are not civilians. I heard that the earliest person in the sugar service was the Xiang army who retired from the household registration and took up the swords and guns again, but they were soldiers again."

Li Foma turned his head and asked Li Renyi in a deep voice: "This is true."

Li Renyi said calmly: "It is true. I have also mentioned to Your Majesty that when Xu Ping first arrived in Yongzhou, he was struggling that there was no one to help him, so he kept the Gengshu Army from Fujian Road to Guangnan West Road and worked in the sugar sugar office. However, these were all things in the past few years. In the past two years, the number of troops on Fujian Road was not wide, so the matter stopped. Now, the sugar office recruits people, the most are the local people in Yongzhou, followed by immigrants from Fujian Road, and there are no more soldiers in the service."

"So. How many soldiers are there in the sugar servicing service?" Li Foma looked at Li Renyi and asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"According to the news that Weichen received, it should be between 10,000 and 20,000."

Li Foma nodded and said to Li Fengxiao: "Yes. Yongzhou must have re-enlisted the previous military army, so that they had more than 20,000 troops and attacked with defense. Chen Changji's defeat was reasonable. Alas, we were careless before. We always thought that Yongzhou could be cleaned up at any time."

Li Fengxiao closed his eyes and thought for a while before speaking, "If you say this, it makes sense. But then again, the soldiers who were detained for many years have been away from the army, and they cannot survive the battle formation for a while after being re-enlisted. But I think the Song people have their own solutions, so we don't bother with it. Now, there are more than 20,000 troops in Songzhou, Liangzhou, and they have a geographical advantage. It is not easy to capture it."

Regardless of equipment and combat power, the main force of Jiaozhi is not much different from the Xiang army of the Song Dynasty. Due to various conditions, Jiaozhi is not able to equip the luxurious army like the Song Dynasty imperial guards on a large scale. Li Foma knew this very well. If Yongzhou was a formally organized imperial guards of 20,000, he would not have the idea of ​​reconciling the state. Not to mention north of the Fuliang River, even Shenglong Mansion had to be carefully guarded.

Even if it is a 20,000-box army, it is still a tough one and cannot be dealt with by a partial army.

The hand was supported on the forehead. Li Fuma did not speak on the throne for a long time.

Whether to fight or not is a difficult choice.

You have to take risks when fighting. Once you lose the battle, the decayed situation is likely to become uncontrollable and foreign enemies invade. Civil strife may also arise again. It is a different story to whether the throne can be firmly held.

But if the Song Dynasty did not fight, the Song Dynasty occupied Liangzhou, but it was not before when he was in Yongzhou, and there was no obstacle to the south, and the power was almost inevitable. Even if the Song Dynasty converged itself, local local officials would take the initiative to surrender. The big Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi were all clear, and the fools could distinguish between the thick legs, and Chen Gongyong had already set an example.

The north is turbulent, people's hearts are unstable, and there is no cover from Guangyuanzhou. It is inevitable that Dali and Ailao in the northwest will miss this opportunity to come to the door and take the initiative. The north of the Fuliang River, the West Dao River and the upper reaches of the Wuding River will no longer be owned by Jiaozhi. At that time, not to mention that all ambitions will be destroyed, even the fundamental areas of Shenglong Mansion to Chang'an Mansion will face the threat.

In addition, Chameng, the north and south attacks can be dealt with only a few states.

Li Foma closed his eyes.

This kind of situation is not difficult to imagine. There are old enemies on all sides, and a tiger is eyeing it, so he can't even sleep peacefully in Shenglong Mansion.

If we look at the geography of later generations, the essence of Jiaozhi, Xindu Shenglongfu to the old capital Chang'anfu, is the lower reaches of the Honghe River Delta, which is quite narrow. The property is rich and the population is relatively dense, and it is the foundation for supporting the king's and dominance, but there must be an outer periphery as a vassal screen. Once the periphery is lost, it will become a fat meat in the eyes of others, without strategic depth to make a roundabout way, and the enemy can also use the rich product to raise grain. If you want to defend it, you will not be able to defend it no matter what.

Slammed down the throne, Li Foma raised his head and said firmly: "If you fight, you have to fight this battle, even if you put the whole country into the country's destiny, you have to take back Liangzhou."

Li Fengxiao said in a deep voice: "The Lord has made up his mind."

"Yes, if you want to protect Jiaozhi, you must defeat Liangzhou, fight early than fight late. You must fight in one battle. For Jiaozhi, the Song Dynasty is like a mountain. If they take root in Liangzhou, it will be difficult to drive them back to the north of the mountain. Now, taking advantage of their footholds, they will be driven back to the north of the mountain."

Li Fengxiao nodded: "What the emperor is worried about is that he doesn't know how to fight this battle."

Li Foma stared at Li Fengxiao and said solemnly: "Now that Chameng in the south has not retreated, and the rebellion in Sumaozhou in the northeast has not been settled. I cannot leave Shenglong Mansion lightly. Please ask the general for this battle."

"Eat the king's salary, and be loyal to the king's affairs, but the ministers are sent by the emperor."

Li Foma sighed lightly: "The Song army was in Liangzhou for 20,000 troops, but it had just won a big victory. The so-called rural soldiers would definitely not stay in Liangzhou during this busy farming period."

Speaking of this, Li Foma turned to look at Li Renyi.

Li Renyi said in a deep voice: "As far as we know, as soon as the last war ended, the rural soldiers of Liangzhou began to disband and return to their headquarters. The main business of sugar business is to squeeze sugar, and it is still the sugar-pressing season."

Li Foma nodded: "There is only six thousand wing troops in Liangzhou now. If the Song army wants to recruit the wing troops again, it may not be faster than our marching."

Speaking of this, Li Foma leaned forward and looked at Li Fengxiao: "But I still arranged the 20,000 Song troops in Liangzhou to avoid any further accidents. There are 42,000 elite soldiers from Jiaozhi around Shenglong Mansion, and I only leave 5,000 to protect the royal city, and the rest of the troops will be handed over to the general."

Li Renyi was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how can you do this?"

Li Foma reached out to stop Li Renyi's words and said to Li Fengxiao: "I will use my army to conquer the country and give it to the general. In one battle, a real man from Liangzhou wants to achieve extraordinary achievements. He should be cut off. This battle is related to the fate of my Jiaozhi country. The general will be the first meritorious official of Jiaozhi."
