"The government army has been confronting the Western thieves in Qin Wangchuan for two months. It has been awesome and has lost all its power. It is better to retreat to Lanzhou earlier."

"The government army consumes an astonishing amount, so the Western thieves will spend less? The government army has less than 50,000 troops in Qin Wangchuan, and the Western thieves may have 70,000 to 80,000. If they continue to consume, it will be beneficial to the government army."

"The government army has already won the five prefectures including Yin, Xia, You, Shuo, Yan, etc., and it is an unprecedented victory. Why do we need to make a contribution in one battle? It is better to postpone it for two or three years, and when Shuofang Road trains 100,000 elite soldiers, you can beat Xingling in one fell swoop."

"Now the Western thief is over, and Gao Yongnian only needs to support Qin Wangchuan to waste the Western thief."

"What if the Western thieves have abundant food and supplies? How much food can Xihe Road give Gao Yongnian?"

"The Khitan's southwest side of the Khitan has now entered the Hebei Grasslands of Hetao and occupied the territory of the Weifu Army Division of the Western Thieves Heishan. In a few years, when the Khitans gain a firm foothold in the Hebei Grasslands, can they still watch us destroy the Western Thieves? If you want to revive the spirit, but you don't go to a full-scale war with the Khitan, the only way is to seize the Qin Kingchuan and force the Western Thieves to move westward..."

In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Ji was listening to Cai Jing and Su Dongpo’s tit-for-tat words with a stern face.

Su Dongpo's tuberculosis was relieved after the weather warmed up, so he became a little nagging again. He also made up his mind to stop when he saw it better. Although Su Dongpo was not the advocate of this Western Expedition, there was no doubt that the cliques he led made great profits in this war, so he didn't want to continue.

Tong Guan became the commander of the regime and Tong Guan was not a member of the old party, but he had a close relationship with Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu and was almost one. Therefore, he was also included in a group of people close to the old party and Su Dongpo.

Gao Qiu became the deputy commander of the military commander and chief commander of the military commander, responsible for training the military soldiers in Shuofang. In the memorials of Hou Meng and Wu Haogu, both shouted the slogan "It is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Gao family's army." Although what this sentence means is still different, it definitely means that the military soldiers can fight, which is very beneficial to the old party that advocates the establishment of the military soldiers.

Wu Haogu was also appointed as the commander of the commander. Although his coastal market order could not be compared with Tong Guan's Shuofang Road Pacification Commander, it was finally opened to build a government office! Moreover, the traffic, market orders and overseas affairs were difficult for others to interfere.

Wu Haogu can now get a very ideal territory. Although it is not big, it is easy to control, and it also has the name of occupying territory overseas. Don't be too proud.

However, what worried Cai Jing the most was that Su Dongpo's younger brother Su Che might have to come back to become the prime minister!

Because Su Che's mission to Liao Kingdom became relatively smooth because of "Gao Qiu's stubborn border provocations". Before the Battle of Mingtangchuan, Su Che's situation in Liao Kingdom was very difficult, and the Liao people asked for a high price. The Song Kingdom asked all the lands in Yin, Xia, Yu, Yan and Shuo to Xixia, otherwise the war would start!

But for some reason, after "Gao Qiu started a border provocation", the Khitans' tone suddenly fell, and there was a trend of getting lower and lower according to the memorial sent by Su Che from Xijin Prefecture, the Liao people's current asking price was to return the two states of Yan and Shuo, and retreat from Qin Wangchuan, Karochuan and Zhuoluo City.

In other words, the Khitans can recognize that Yin, Xia and You belong to the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Su Che also stated in the memorial that as long as he argued, the Song Dynasty should be able to occupy Yanzhou and Shuozhou. For Su Che, this was a great achievement. After eating the five states of Xixia, he also avoided the war with the Liao Kingdom and was not blackmailed. It was definitely a diplomatic victory.

If you make merits, you will definitely be rewarded! In this way, Su Che will have the opportunity to return to the Political Affairs Hall again. He may not be able to become the right prime minister immediately, but he can take over the position of Shangshu and the right prime minister after Li Gefei becomes the right prime minister.

For Cai Jing, this is a big bad!

So Cai Jing was determined to take down King Qinchuan. As long as he took down King Qinchuan, Xixia would stand on the edge of the cliff! Not only did Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Wu Haogu's light be covered, even Su Che would encounter big trouble. The peace talks with the Khitan would not be successful, and they might even fight. By then, it would be good that Su Che would not be charged with "antising the Liao Dynasty".

"The Western thieves are not without the ability to try their best. If they are desperate, they will not rule out the attack on Qin Wangchuan. If Gao Yongnian was defeated, would the Khitans still be so easy to talk to?"

"How could it be defeated? Gao Yongnian has nearly 50,000 troops, deep ditch and high base, how could he be defeated?"

"To be honest, even if Gao Yongnian cannot win, he can still maintain it. Moreover, Gao Qiu on the Eastern Front is not bad. It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Gao family's army!" Zhao Ji nodded with a loud laugh.

The memorials of Hou Meng and Wu Haogu have arrived. In the memorial, Hou Meng pointed out that Gao Qiu was likely to have used black armored cavalry to raid the Khitans and attacked the opponent's cavalry. At the same time, Hou Meng also talked about the training of the new mansion soldiers, and said that Gao Qiu had many followers in the new mansion army...

Wu Haogu's memorial also verified Hou Meng's view on the new military soldiers, but he was praising Gao Qiu and praised Gao Taiwei as a peerless general, the pillar of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, it was a problem for Gao Qiu to cultivate power in the New Mansion Army, but Zhao Ji was not worried much. Because Gao Qiu's remarks were also sent to Kaifeng Mansion, Tong Guan also wrote a secret note, saying that he could take over Gao Qiu's strength in the army.

In other words, Gao Qiu has no intention of being irrelevant, and his foundation in the army is still shallow and does not pose any danger for the time being.

Zhao Ji changed his tone and his tone became heavier, "What do you think about Gao Qiu saying he was sick and resigning? Can Gao Qiu be without Gao Qiu in the Northwest Army?"

"I think he should be allowed to resign from his military post," said Cai Jing. "The six generals and the three imperial guards are all from his subordinates. They are not good for the country and may not be beneficial to him. Your Majesty might as well punish him in the name of arbitrariness and impose a little punishment, which is also an explanation to the Khitans."

If Gao Qiu heard Cai Jing's words, he would be very grateful and immediately admitted that he had committed a crime of engaging in border provocations.

"Your Majesty," Su Dongpo said, "If Gao Qiu was cured, the Khitans would be in trouble! Although the Khitans are clamoring now, there is nothing wrong with the borders of Shuofang, Hedong and Hebei. The price of the Liao people is getting lower and lower. If Gao Qiu really starts a border quarrel, it will definitely hurt the Khitans. Maybe they really use hundreds of black armored cavalry to kill 500 cavalrymen, so the Khitans dare not cause trouble."

Zhao Ji suddenly burst into laughter, "If I really hurt the Khitan with the black armored cavalry, I will not cure him for the crime of engaging in border quarrels, and I will also reward him heavily."

He paused, "Gao Qiu's soldiers were well-trained and fought well... Shuofang's soldiers were still required to be led by him. So Hou Meng should not check it, and go back to Kaifeng Prefecture with Wu Haogu as soon as possible.

In addition, let Gao Qiu be promoted to a military governor... He does not admit that he has launched a border quarrel, but I still want to reward him! Give him a military governor of Guanghua Army Dangdang!"

Zhao Ji's words made Su Dongpo frown slightly. The official Zhao Ji obviously did not trust Gao Qiu as much as before!

...

Su Dongpo really guessed a little. The Khitans' attitude was getting lower and lower because almost all the important officials knew the truth about the Mingtangchuan Battle.

Of course, Yelu Yanxi was still in the dark, and she didn't know that his ten thousand army was defeated by hundreds of armored cavalry of the Song people. It sounded too scary, and no one dared to report to Yelu Yanxi.

After all, Xiao Delis, who was defeated in Mingtangchuan, was Xiao Delis' younger brother, and Xiao Delis' confidant of Yelu Yanxi. At the same time, he had close relationships with the brothers Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian and Xiao Sixian.

If you go to expose Xiao Delis, wouldn’t you be able to get along with Xiao Delis, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Sixian and others?

However, not revealing Xiao Delis does not mean that he is going to provoke the terrifying Taiwei Gao!

Taiwei Gao could not defeat him, so Shuofang could not cause trouble.

And Hebei cannot cause trouble, because everyone knows that Wu Hao, the ancient martial arts God of Wealth will soon be the commander of the coastal ship... At that time, there will definitely be money that everyone can make money together, so why are you fighting?

Where there is profit, there will be no war!

Since Shuofang cannot beat him and Hebei cannot fight, it seems that only Hedong can fight is left...

"Your Majesty, in addition to Hedong, our army can also enter Hexi directly!"

The mandarin duck is in the imperial tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty.

The old minister Yelu Otla finally proposed a relatively reliable method.

Yelu Yanxi frowned, "Enter directly into Hexi? Go to Qinwangchuan?"

The Khitans were semi-nomadic, so they had strong mobility. At the beginning of the 11th century, around the time when Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Emperor Renzong of Song, the Khitans sent troops to attack the Ganzhou Uighurs many times. They captured Suzhou in 1010 AD and besieged Ganzhou for four months in 1028 AD. However, they failed to break the city, but gave Yuanhao the opportunity to attack Ganzhou with the Liao army. Yuanhao took advantage of the opportunity to retreat, and the Ganzhou Uighurs were seriously injured and attacked Ganzhou, breaking the city in one fell swoop.

So for the Khitan, it was not a problem to go thousands of miles into Hexi.

"Yes, go to the King of Qin!" Yelu Otla said, "There is only one Gao Qiu who can fight in the Song Dynasty. Now Gao Qiu is in Shuofang, not in Hexi. Gao Yongnian in Hexi is only a medium-sized talent. Tens of thousands of troops have not captured the King of Qin. Now he has confronted Cha Ge for a long time, and the army is devastated.

If tens of thousands of Liao soldiers appeared in Qin Wangchuan at this time, the Song army would definitely be terrified, and Dangxiang would definitely be very motivated!"

"Okay!" Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed when he heard this. There was a way for Otla to kill the old general of Mogus to death!

But then Yanxi frowned again, "Can we break up with the Song people?"

Otla smiled and said, "The old minister can lead troops to Hexi. We will not fall into it."

"That's great... I wonder how many soldiers you want to bring?"
