Chapter 489 The Empress Dowager's Strategy!
If someone else said that, it would definitely cause everyone to turn their heads and stare indignantly.

Because all the ministers of the court and China were present, and Emperor Li Qianshun was here.

Their business strategy does not allow others to gossip.

However, the person who came was Li Qianshun's mother, which was different.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang walked slowly in luxurious clothes, her skirt was dragging on the ground, and a group of court ladies waited on her side, she was very airy.

Her face, as a queen mother, is naturally not bad for a person who used to be a queen. Although she is getting older, she can still see her youthful beauty.

The tall mountain could no longer be restrained by the clothes, and jumped out like a volcano about to erupt.

Xiaoliang Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's facial features are dignified and majestic, with unquestionable eyes.

"See the Queen Mother!"

When everyone saw the queen mother, they saluted respectfully, Li Qianshun hurriedly said: "See the queen mother!"

Seeing the Queen Mother, some courtiers were a little timid.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was also an extremely pungent role in history.

There are still some backgrounds!
In history, Li Ganshun was only a few years old when he came to the throne.

The Liang family also changed from queen to empress dowager.

In order to distinguish her mother-in-law, Queen Mother Liang, history called her Empress Xiaoliang.

After Xiao Liang took the throne, the first stab at her brother Liang Yibu was for the simple reason that Liang Yibu wanted to imprison her in the harem and take over the power alone.

However, before he had time to act, the news was known by Empress Xiao Liang.

She teamed up with the general Wei Ming Ah Bu, and killed Liang Yibu's family with lightning speed, clearing the way for her sole power.

Her mother-in-law and aunt, the Queen Mother Liang, is her idol.

The Empress Dowager Liang has been in power for 18 years, and she has been hired on thousands of miles of battlefields. The generals on the battlefield are obsequious to her, what a prestige!
In what way is she worse than her mother-in-law?
She wants to start the biggest war, to prove that Xiaoliang Empress Dowager is better than Lan, even better than her mother-in-law.

She recruited an army of 40, known as a million to the outside world, and took the emperor's royal driver to conquer.

She had carefully prepared for this war. Prior to this, the Xixia army had kidnapped a large number of craftsmen from the Song Dynasty, and built thousands of building carts and rush carts. These are advanced weapons for siege.

In addition, by learning the Han Chinese art of war, she used the strategies and tactics of attacking the west and encircling the point.

The army of 40 stretched for hundreds of miles, the banners covered the sky and the sun, and the sound of drums and horns shook the sky and the earth.

Her goal is to capture Pingxia City and completely conquer the Song Army just like her mother-in-law attacked Yongle City.

Empress Xiaoliang is still confident. In the battle of Yongle City, the Xixia Army had no more than 30 people. In the end, they broke through Yongle City. The leader of the Song Army, Xu Xi, was killed in battle.

And she has 40 troops this time, how can she be invincible?

This time, the coach of the Song Army was called Zhang Wei, a civil official who was born as a Jinshi.

He found his favorite generals Guo Cheng and Zhe Keshi and said: I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you must ensure that Pingxia City is safe.

Guo and Zhe looked at each other, 40 enemy soldiers, only 2 to defend the city?
Seeing the doubts of the two, Zhang Shuai explained: Don't worry, two generals, there are 18 soldiers around you who will reinforce you at any time.However, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not send troops.At present, the morale of the enemy army is high, and there is no chance of winning against them.

I will send troops to fortify the walls and clear the fields behind the enemy. Within half a month, the enemy's food and grass will be exhausted.

At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate, and the Xixia army can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Following the coach's explanation, the two gained confidence.

Zhang Shuai warned again: The burden of success or failure in this battle rests on the shoulders of the two of you.

After the battle started, the situation was much more cruel than expected. Like ants, the Xixia people climbed up the city with their carts, smashed into the city gate with a ram, and almost entered the city several times.

They also dug tunnels and drilled into the city from under the city wall.

However, Guo and Zhe are battle-tested generals. They repel the enemy's attack time and time again based on the advantage of the city wall.

He also sent a small group of troops out of the city to harass the enemy at night, making the enemy restless day and night.

Thirteen days later, Xixia army's food and grass could not be received, and there happened to be another strong wind, and the wind blew sand and rocks, and Xixia's buildings and cars were blown down.

The Xixia army was in disarray for a while.

At this moment, reinforcements came from all directions, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

The exhausted Xixia army suddenly became a frightened bird, scrambling to escape to their lair first.

And on the way back, more than 700 miles were cleared, and there was no food or shelter.They can only rush to Tiandu Mountain, their old nest, overnight.

The remnant Xixia soldiers who fled back to Tiandu Mountain were tired and hungry. They killed cattle and sheep for a full meal.

While they were drinking, the Song army surrounded the big tent of Wei Ming Amai like a heavenly soldier and general. More than 3000 sheep.

It turned out that after defeating the Xixia Army, Zhang Wei organized [-] elite cavalry overnight, divided them into six columns, and galloped thousands of miles to attack the party's lair.

Empress Xiaoliang burst into tears when she saw the army's defeat. After she fled back in makeup, she wrote a letter to the Liao Kingdom, complaining that the Liao Army stood by and watched, but the Liao Emperor joined forces with Li Qianshun and sent her a cup of poisoned wine. Force her to drink it.

Since then, after two generations of Empress Liang's dictatorship, power has returned to Li Yuanhao's great-grandson Li Qianshun.

But because the Liao Kingdom no longer exists, there are some changes in Xixia.

Although the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was still in power, Li Qianshun was still able to speak and act alone.

It was only when the critical moment came that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang would come out.

Like this time.

Li Qianshun: "Queen, don't you agree to assassinate the Great Song Wuxiang?"

In front of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, he was still very obedient.

Although I feel a little displeased.

After she came, everyone listened to the Queen Mother's advice.

After the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang sat down, she said: "It's not that you can't assassinate Wu Zhi, but it's difficult to assassinate Wu Zhi. This person is brave and good at fighting, and he's in Bianjing, so he's not that easy to kill!"

"The Queen Mother means..."

The Minister of Military Aircraft was puzzled.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's eyes flickered coldly: "It's okay to kill Wu Zhi, but this can only be counted as one of them. The most important thing is to catch the wives, wives, concubines, or children of the Wu family. This is a second-hand preparation."

"As long as Wu Zhi's family is caught, even if Wu Zhi has great abilities, he won't dare to deal with me, Xixia, so he will be honest."

When the prime minister heard this, he immediately felt that the idea was good: "Compared to assassinating Wu Zhi, it should be easier to capture his family members, but the effect is no less than killing Wu Zhi. His relatives are in our hands. Xixia's fight is also timid.

What's more, if we can threaten him with this, he will not dare to be presumptuous. Without Wu Zhi's leadership, who can be Xixia's opponent?As for that Yue Fei, we can also adopt such means. "

After everyone heard the empress dowager's wicked proposal, they all felt that it made sense.

It may be difficult to kill Wu Zhi and the others, but Wu Zhi's family is not a general on the battlefield, they always come out.

As long as they come out, they will be caught.

At that time, you can threaten Wu Zhi and dare not act rashly.

Then Yue Fei and the others will also attack.The last time they were defeated by Yue Fei.

General Wei, whose name is Ah Wu, also felt that the queen mother's method was good: "The queen mother is brilliant, and I fully agree with this method!"

"Then make two-handed preparations, kill Wu Zhi first, and capture his family members second. The same is true for Yue Fei! If Wu Zhi dies, his family members don't care. If he is not dead, capture his family members and bring them to us. Xixia, when Wu Zhi dares not act rashly, what will Da Song use to fight us?"

Everyone looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.

Seeing that everyone agrees, the Queen Mother immediately said: "Be careful with this matter, remember to show your flaws, and send some smart killers there. Wu Zhi and Yue Fei must succeed! It would be best to kill both of them! "

"Yes!" Li Qianshun said respectfully.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the queen mother left here.

Congratulations from everyone.

also dispersed.

Next, Li Qianshun will arrange the matter.

This time the guard commander stood up: "Your Majesty, this time let the minister send someone."

Li Qianshun: "You? Last time you messed things up, this time..."

"This time, I will definitely handle things well. No matter how bad it is, Wu Zhi's relatives will definitely catch a few!"

Li Qianshun looked at the guard commander in front of him. In fact, he also knew that what happened last time was not entirely his fault, but that Wu Zhi was too strong.

He sighed: "We must succeed this time, otherwise we will have no chance."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely get it done. This time I will deploy a careful plan to definitely catch Wu Zhi's family."

He may not have the confidence to kill Wu Zhi, but it is not difficult to capture a few relatives.

Wu Zhi's personal force is strong, but it does not mean that his relatives have such strong strength.

As long as they are out on the streets, there is a chance of catching them.

The commander of the guards went to do this immediately.

At the same time, the courtiers who had adjourned the meeting were whispering outside.

"The queen mother's method this time is very suitable for our current situation in Xixia!"

"Well! The Great Song Dynasty is too strong. Not to mention paying tribute every year, but also exchanging gold for their banknotes. How can I be restricted by them everywhere! I used to be comparable to the Great Song Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and I absolutely don't want this kind of thing to happen. .”

"As long as this matter succeeds, Great Song will be in danger!"

"Hehe, without Wu Zhi and Yue Fei, what kind of a fart is Da Song? Even if we Xixia want to kill these two people, we will always succeed!"

Prime Minister Liang Yibu sneered.

The two tall generals next to him, named Ah Wu, Ren Duo Bao Zhong, also had smiles on their faces, and there was hope if there was a way.

Although this method is unethical, it does not matter.

They wait and see, hoping to hear the news of Wu Zhi and Yue Fei's death.
