"Xihe Road plus the area of Qinghai Lake within a radius of several hundred miles constitutes Qinghai Road."
Ren Liang asked in surprise, "The Song Dynasty only captured Qing Tang City."
"It was renamed Xining Prefecture, which is still 200 li away from Qinghai Lake."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Then let's fight all the way to Qinghai Lake."
"It's only two hundred li."
"After defeating the Western Xia, we will unite all the routes,"
"The imperial court lacks civil officials,"
"Ren Gong should make preparations as soon as possible."
Ren Liang nodded and said, "Don't worry, King Liang."
"The imperial court exempted agricultural taxes and exorbitant levies,"
"The officials also had much less work to do,"
"Just send some officials who are familiar with the law,"
"In addition, there were the Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) sent by the imperial court to assist them,"
"It shouldn't cause any problems."
"Huanqing Road has never been loyal to my Great Liang,"
"The army's provisions must be transported through Binzhou to reach Weizhou,"
"I'm a little worried."
"But Binzhou did not pledge allegiance to the Great Liang,"
"If I directly send troops to garrison Binzhou,"
"This will likely cause a backlash on Huanqing Road."
"Therefore, I intend to leave 10,000 troops in Jingzhao Prefecture,"
"If Binzhou cuts off our supply lines,"
"The Jingzhao Prefecture could also send troops to open up the supply route."
Ren Liang naturally knew what Zhao Yuan was worried about, and nodded.
"What the King of Liang is worried about is just right,"
"Huanqing Road is hesitant and indecisive; we should definitely be wary of such behavior."
"Although I am capable of commanding the Yongxing Army,"
"However, the Yongxing Army's forces are insufficient to contend with the Huanqing Road Army,"
"This humble official was also thinking of requesting that the King of Liang station troops there as a precaution."
Chapter 1830 Borrowing a Passage
Ren Liang was an upright man.
Compared to his own career path,
They cherish the people even more.
That's why I spoke out for justice.
Oppose Cai Jing's harmful reforms.
He received the imperial edict ordering him to lead the Yongxing Army to submit to Daliang.
I'm completely baffled.
They hurriedly sent people to investigate.
Later I heard that the Liangshan army had launched a surprise attack on Tokyo.
The royal family was caught off guard and completely dumbfounded.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.
There were many members of the Han imperial family throughout the land.
But no one can replace the emperor's position.
After Xia Qi abolished the abdication system...
Throughout history, the country has always been ruled by hereditary monarchs.
Moreover, this family was just the emperor's small household.
Not a large royal family.
For members of the royal family to rebel is also considered treason.
Emperor Huizong's entire lineage was wiped out.
This also means that the Song Dynasty has fallen.
The whole world is watching the officials in various places make fools of themselves.
Let's see how they choose.
The education I received from childhood in loyalty to the emperor
Let them receive the imperial decree.
But reason told them they could not accept the imperial decree.
Many blindly loyal ministers, upon seeing Zhao Ji's imperial edict,
He accepted the imperial edict while weeping.
No one dared to go to the emperor's aid.
Because no one dared to lead troops to Tokyo.
At that time, the Great Liang will not need to send troops.
All we need to do is bring Zhao Ji out.
The king humiliates the minister and dies,
No one dared to humiliate the emperor.
Unless you're determined to rebel,
Then there would be no point in serving the king.
Ren Liang came from a poor family.
While engaging in ideological struggle,
They think more about the people.
He also knew that Western Xia would definitely not give up this opportunity.
Once war breaks out,
The common people will then suffer much more.
If no one can stop the Western Xia
I fear that the Western Xia will end up like the Tibetan Empire during the An Lushan Rebellion.
Taking advantage of the situation, they invaded and occupied Shaanxi.
It even brought disaster to the Central Plains.
Because of the An Lushan Rebellion
The Tang Dynasty emperor fled.
Most of the country was still under the emperor's control.
It can mobilize troops to resist the Tibetans.
But now the emperor has been captured.
Without command,
It's unlikely that the various state governments will help each other.
Ren Liang admitted that he lacked the ability to turn the tide.
Moreover, the main force of the Western Army was in Jiangnan.
It was General Zhong who took charge.
They probably couldn't stop the Western Xia people.
Just as Ren Liang was filled with worry,
Zhong Shidao sent him a letter.
I told him about the situation in the Northwest.
To resist the Western Xia,
They would have to pledge allegiance to a power that could send troops to reinforce them.
The Song Dynasty emperor was captured.
Without a leader,
It's obviously the first one to be eliminated.
Then only the rebels Zhao Yuan, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing remained.
Wang Qing and Tian Hu were both men who harmed their communities.
Only Zhao Yuan, who acted on behalf of Heaven, still had a decent reputation.
Moreover, the emperor's decree also ordered them to submit to the Great Liang.
More importantly, the Great Liang has already agreed to send troops to assist Zhong Shidao.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ren Liang
He then agreed to submit to the Liang dynasty.
He became a subject of the Liang Dynasty.
And that was the end of my thoughts.
He wasn't from a military family either.
He didn't feel that place was his territory.
Therefore, he was not unhappy about Zhao Yuan stationing troops in Jingzhao Prefecture.
Moreover, Zhao Yuan had just promised him the position of the first Governor-General of Shaanxi.
.....
The following day, Zhao Yuan left Lin Chong with 10,000 troops to garrison Jingzhao Prefecture.
He led an army of 40,000 to Binzhou.
After entering Binzhou,
There were still quite a few scouts moving back and forth among the troops.
After all, we have entered territory where the enemy and friend are unclear.
Binzhou did not submit to the Great Liang.
However, under the coordination of the old strategist, it was agreed that passage would be permitted.
The grain supplies of Daliang were transported to Weizhou via the Jing River, which flows through Binzhou.
When passing through Binzhou,
Zhao Yuan originally intended to pay a visit to the prefect of Binzhou.
However, Binzhou kept its city gates tightly shut.
