Chapter 148 Dilemma (1)

The Xia army and the Southern Liao army had a conflict in Datong and were sent to Li Liangzuo by Jilasiyi. For Li Liangzuo, he was afraid of whatever he was afraid of. Although the Xia army was not afraid of fighting, this battle had to be divided. As the emperor of Xixia, Li Liangzuo had to consider the overall situation. As the territory of Xixia became more and more vast, he could not make up everything.

Late at night, Li Liangzuo summoned Wei Ge Ningling alone in the imperial study room. He could be said to have a great trust in this imperial uncle Li Liangzuo. As long as it was proposed by Wei Ge Ningling, Li Liangzuo basically agreed that the current Western Xia Wei Ge Ningling can be said to be less than one person and ten thousand people.

Li Liangzuo looked at the map hanging on the wall and said to Vergung Ningling: "Uncle, I decided to go to Datong in person."

As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, Vergung Ning Ling immediately opposed: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. How can you put yourself in a dangerous place? The old minister firmly disagrees."

Li Liangzuo looked at the anxious look of Vergil Ningling and smiled and said, "Uncle, please listen to me and finish your words!"

"There is nothing to say, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work." Wei Ge Ning Ling insisted. "You don't know the situation in Datong now. What's the use of you going? If it doesn't work, we will fight Yelu Chongyuan."

"Uncle Huang, you are the administrative envoy and you are very clear about the situation in our Daxia Kingdom. You said, "We have the capital to fight now!" Li Liangzuo said with a firm face; "In addition to the Hetao Army, all border troops are undergoing training, and there are also some newly trained Central Army, infrastructure construction in various places, investment in farmland and water conservancy, etc., which have long been allocated the money in the treasury. If this battle starts, I really don't know where to raise military expenses;

Besides, our fight was a big blow! We fought with Yelu Chongyuan to lose both sides, and in the end it was Yelu Hongji who was the one who got the advantage. Isn’t this a wedding dress for others! So this battle must not be fought."

Seeing that Li Liangzuo was so determined, Verge Ning Ling said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to Datong. Don't you believe in the emperor's uncle?"

Li Liangzuo continued to work for the Verge Ning Ling and said, "Uncle Emperor, don't go there at this age. Besides, many things cannot be solved without me. Uncle Emperor, don't worry! This time I will not act irritably and will never put myself in a dangerous situation."

Seeing that Li Liangzuo had made such a decision, he was useless to persuade him in every possible way, so he could only agree: "Okay! Since Your Majesty has made a decision, then the old minister will not be persuaded. Your Majesty, don't dislike the old minister's nagging. You are the king of a country and are responsible for the safety of the world. I hope Your Majesty should put the country first."

"I remember the teachings of the emperor's uncle in my heart." Li Liangzuo said sincerely.

After persuading the Ning Ling, the other ministers and concubines in the harem were easy to deal with. So after simple preparations, Li Liangzuo transferred 10,000 heavily armored knights of the Eighth Battalion from the Central Army camp, and took Xiao Zhuozi and Liang Gewei, the head general of the Eighth Battalion, and set out on the journey to Datong.

From Xingqing Prefecture to Datong, Li Liangzuo could be said to have been rushing all the way. It took nearly ten days. The situation in Datong underwent earth-shaking changes within these ten days. Now Datong has been surrounded by Yelu Chongyuan, and Datong City has completely lost contact with the outside world. In addition, some of the food and grass that was originally planned to be transported to Datong was also robbed by Yelu Chongyuan.

In the Datong area, Li Liangzuo's Xia army was completely at a disadvantage. When Datong was surrounded, Li Liangzuo could not enter Datong City. He could only garrison troops in Jiaoshan north of Datong. Not to mention that Li Liangzuo's strategic vision was not very accurate in building points. Jiaoshan is not so important to Datong, and at most it would serve as a warning. After all, there is a strong city in Datong behind it!

But now it is very different. Datong is still in the hands of the Xia army. Li Liangzuo can attack the Xia army inside and outside. Although it may not be able to defeat the Southern Liao army, it is definitely not a problem to let the Xia army inside the city rush out.

In Jiaoshan, Li Liangzuo was sitting on the commander's chair, and Xiao Zhuozi served on the side in armor. On the commander's case in front of Li Liangzuo, there was a newly sent defense map of the Southern Liao army on the periphery of Datong. Although Jiang Datong of the Southern Liao army has surrounded the group, the Southern Liao army mainly focuses on the South Gate and the East Gate, because the South Gate Nan Liao army can rely on Huairen and Fengyi as the support. In this way, the two cities are built into a large camp of food and grass, so that the army will not evacuate after one grain and grass is destroyed.

"Your Majesty, you will catch a spy while patrolling." Liang Gewei slipped into a scout from the Southern Liao army and said.

Li Liangzuo said unhappily: "You are the leader of the battalion after all, what kind of despicable behavior is this..."

"I will pay attention next time, pay attention next time..." Liang Gewei said hurriedly.

Li Liangzuo waved his hand and said majestic, "Okay, get out! If you continue like this next time, I will beat you up with a military stick."

Liang Gewei's fear and awe for Li Liangzuo have penetrated into his bones. Li Liangzuo's face was so simple that he scared Liang Gewei so much that he was so stupid. Liang Gewei was the youngest younger brother of the imperial concubine Liang Luoyao, who was Li Liangzuo's wife's brother, and was a relative of the Western Xia Kingdom. Originally, when this kid joined the army, Li Liangzuo made things difficult for him, hoping that Liang Gewei would retreat in the face of the difficulties and voluntarily withdrew from the training of the recruits.

But what Li Liangzuo did not expect was that no matter how hard Li Liangzuo made things difficult for Liang Gewei, this kid always gritted his teeth and persevered. Although there were ten battalions in the new army training at the time, Liang Gewei was not the best, but under the pressure of Li Liangzuo, he was not the weakest, and his grades were always in the second or third place. Otherwise, Liang Gewei's battalion would not have been organized into a heavy armored cavalry battalion.

In fact, when Li Liangzuo made things difficult for Liang Gewei, he was not really afraid of him, but because of his own fear. Li Liangzuo was familiar with history books and had many things to do with the autocracy of foreign relatives in history. As a time traveler in later generations, Li Liangzuo was still very familiar with the history of Western Xia. In history, less than two hundred years of national destiny, half of which was in the autocracy of foreign relatives, especially Liang Luoyao's Liang family, which of course this is a later story.

Let's get back to the point, Li Liangzuo's troops stationed in Jiaoshan made Yelu Chongyuan feel a lot of pressure. At that time, Li Liangzuo defeated Yelu Chongyuan's army with only tens of thousands of troops and horses, and captured him. Although Yelu Chongyuan was not physically injured, he left permanent scars in his heart. The strong combat power of the Xia army, coupled with Li Liangzuo's outstanding military command ability, although Yelu Chongyuan had an absolute advantage in military strength, Yelu Chongyuan was not confident that he could defeat Li Liangzuo and lead the Xia army.

In the camp of the southern Liao army in Fengyi, Yelu Mu, Zheng Hun and a group of civil and military ministers stood on both sides. Yelu Chongyuan sat on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers standing on both sides. Yelu Chongyuan asked the ministers with a sad face and said, "You all think we should deal with Li Liangzuo's reinforcements?"

King Yelu Mu of Yan stood up first and said, "My son Yelu Mu asked to lead his army to attack Jiaoshan."

Zheng Hun immediately objected: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I think it's better to use diplomatic means to solve the problem."
