Chapter 773 What kind of good news makes the Ai family happy (second update)

Chapter 782

And the last one-liner made Gao Taotao and the emperor Zhao Xu smile knowingly on their faces.

Zhao Xu tapped lightly on his thigh with his fingers. "Zhang Qing, you have been in the border town for a long time, and you have worked with that king Wushan for a while. In your opinion, can he hold Nayou Prefecture?"

"If other people say such things, the old minister will spit on his face if he goes all out, but if Mr. Xiao Wang said it, then the old minister will definitely think about it." After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Chen plucked up the courage to answer. road.

"I didn't expect you, Zhang Qing, to have such confidence in Wang Wushan." Gao Taotao couldn't help laughing.

"It is precisely because I have worked with Mr. Xiao Wang that I understand that Mr. Xiao Wang is amazing and talented, and an old and established man like me can only compare to him." Zhang Zhi said with a helpless smile.

In the beginning, he and Zhe Keshi were asked to patrol the border, but in the end, the Xia army came to attack in a big way. At that time, Zhang Xi was really scared. I was afraid that Wang Yang and Ma Shang, the envoys sent by the two emperors, would come over. What happens.

In the end, there was nothing wrong with them, and then they sent messengers into Huanzhou, telling themselves that they were preparing a big plan to frame Xia Jun and block Xia Jun's retreat.

At that time, Zhang Chen almost wanted to drop his job. Isn't there something wrong with this?You envoys from the court can’t be the same as those envoys who came to cross the gold in the past, just be your audience and see how our northwestern frontier army of the Great Song Dynasty resisted the powerful enemy.

You actually want to copy the back route of the nearly 20 Xia army. If you don't copy the back route, you will get on your own, and you will also get on the official career of the old man.

But what happened?Zhe Keshi agreed with this plan, and Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shihe, and Zhe Kexing all believed that this plan might succeed.

And Su Dongpo even sent a letter to tell himself that it is best to take a serious look at this plan, maybe it will really succeed.At that time, Zhang Xi, who had guarded the border town for nearly thirty years, was really angry.

In the end, he dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to Hongde Village via a small road with an attitude that was almost broken, and almost all the cavalry were sent there.

Not for anything else, just in case they make a mistake, they can at least have a chance to escape on horseback.

But as a result, after the Xixia army repeatedly attacked Huanzhou to no avail, it really split up and retreated as Wang Wushan expected.

The important thing is that they really built a line of defense at the Hongde village in just a few days.Shengsheng blocked the [-] Xixia army that was withdrawing to the Xia territory through this route.

In the end, almost all of the [-] Xixia elite were captured, and even Xixia Xiaoliang became a prisoner of Song Dynasty.After this battle, Zhang Chen was completely speechless.

The subsequent persuasion of Liang Yibu and the night attack on Yanzhou all had a very close relationship with Wang Yang, and the final result was that everything that seemed impossible to succeed actually succeeded.

And just after the three states were won, Wang Yang once analyzed it at the celebration banquet, and felt that the war with Xixia would not be stagnated for too long because of the great loss of Xixia's strength, and even It is very likely that the loss of these three states will cause Xixia to completely rely on the Liao Kingdom.

At the celebration banquet, Wang Wushan also proposed the idea of ​​using Youzhou as the most important military town for the three states to defend against the outside world, and Yanzhou as a commercial center relying on the salt industry.

It's just that they were just listening to it at the time, but the interaction between Liao and Xia after that, and the Liao and Xia coalition forces appearing in You now, all proved Wang Wushan's foresight one by one.

"Zhang Qing, you don't have to be too modest, but with what you said, the Ai family has a bottom line in his heart, what do you think of the official?" Gao Taotao already had a bottom line in his heart, and turned his head He looked at the emperor Zhao Xu beside him.

"What if Youzhou can't hold on?" Zhao Xu threw out such a sentence.

Zhang Kui glanced at Zhao Xu, who was frowning tightly, in astonishment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said slowly. "As long as Youzhou can support it for [-] days, and the imperial army goes northward through Suide City, the defenseless Yinzhou and Shizhou should be taken."

"Actually, as long as Yinzhou is captured, no matter whether the Liaoxia coalition forces capture Yuzhou or not, the Xia army in the coalition army will definitely return to help. Otherwise, the three states of Xia, Shi, and Long will be in danger. Yiyou Changing one state to three states, I, Da Song, still have the winning side."

"Is there no other way, can we quickly divert the attack target of the Liaoxia coalition forces?" Zhao Xu couldn't help asking.

"Forgive me for being helpless, I really don't think there is any way to divert the more than [-] Liaoxia coalition forces from attacking targets." Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly and sighed.

He also knew very well that Zhao Xu should have asked this question because he was worried about the fall of Youzhou City.

"I see, Lao Zhangqing, please go back to the Privy Council as soon as you said, and order the forbidden army to aid Shaanxi Road to move to Suide City, without going to the security and Dingbian army."

After Zhang Xi respectfully accepted the order, he left in a hurry, leaving the emperor Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao here.

"The officials are still worried about Wang Wushan's safety?"

"Sigh... Although my grandson knows Wang Wushan's ability, he is still a little worried. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I also hope that I and Wang Wushan can create a great world like Taizong and Fang Xuanling in the Tang Dynasty. The era of peace and prosperity..."

Looking at the gloomy and worried Emperor Zhao Xu, Gao Taotao had nothing else to say except a sigh. After all, who can guarantee that his Wang Wushan will really be safe and sound?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." At this moment, Ma Shang stood outside the door, carefully poking his head inside.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu raised his head angrily and shouted.

A yell made Ma Shang tremble in fright, but at this moment he didn't dare to back down, so he could only bite the bullet and say. "His Royal Highness Duan said that he has good news to report, Your Majesty, take a look..."

"It's King Duan? Then let him come over. The Ai family also wants to hear what kind of good news it is." Gao Taotao instructed Ma Shang with a smile.

After a short time, Duan Wang Zhao Ji walked into the room with a complacent expression on his face, but after seeing Zhao Xu's really unattractive expression, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But fortunately, Gao Taotao played a reconciling role with his kind eyebrows and kindness. "Why is Duan Wang standing there? Why don't you come here quickly? What kind of good news is there that makes Ai's family happy..."

"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother and the official family. The grandson has received a letter from Wang Wushan, saying that his wife and concubine Liu are both pregnant..."

"What?!" Both Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, who was still dark-faced before, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
