Will Chong E and Shen Kuo inherit Xu Xi's opinion and go into a big fight to recruit people to build Yongle City? What will the court think of this? Will you send someone to Yanyan Road to give advice? Could he be implicated in the assassin's affairs?

Hong Tao didn't know anything about these things, he pounced directly after listening to Fu Ji's report, regardless of the woman's struggle, and met sincerely in three times and two times. Who is called Xu Xi, whether Yongle City is still built or not, who the imperial court will send, what the emperor thinks, and whether he will be affected or not has nothing to do with him.

It is said that this matter should not be taken care of, for the sake of a group of national thieves who are intrigued, fighting for power and profit, and regard selfish interests more than the country, it is really not worth it to let their women sleep in the open and run so far to be killers.

"In the future, if you think of such a bad idea on your own initiative, and use your stomach to block the knife for others, I will divorce you!"

What's even less worthless is that Fu Ji actually stabbed Shen Kuo, whether it was designed in advance or not, this is too dangerous. The chain mail was placed at the head of the bed, and there was an obvious scratch on it, which showed that the knife was not small.

"The official didn't marry a concubine and ......" is the third time to have a joy with the man he likes, in addition to the pain, Fu Ji also tasted a little pleasure, and her courage increased accordingly, and she shrank into the man's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Hey, you dare to pick the official's courtesy! When you return to the mansion, you must let the eldest princess discipline you well! ”

As soon as he talked about this matter, Hong Tao was at a loss, and he really owed someone a wedding. Just because you don't care doesn't mean that others don't care, especially for girls from good families, this etiquette is sometimes even more important than anything else.

"The concubine didn't dare to ...... Seeing the eldest princess...... "It is said that this is a good thing, but it is not so wonderful to the ears of Fu Ji.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of battles between harem concubines. She was only born as a palace maid, even if she was protected by a horse, could she beat the eldest princess? The answer doesn't seem to have to be thought of.

"If you're still afraid, it's good, let the eldest princess teach you how to do your homework first, and see if you dare to disobey women's morals!"

When it came to his homework, Hong Tao couldn't help but think of the eldest princess thousands of miles away. At the beginning, she was also shy and conservative, so she didn't let herself change it, and it seems that she still needs to work Fu Ji.

It turned out that Xu Xi's death was worth it, and without his persistence, Yongle City continued to be built, but the scale was many times smaller. The remaining financial and labor resources were all pushed north to the line of Hengshan, and five walled forts were built in one go, guarding almost every path that could run north and south through the mountains. Coupled with the original four walled forts and Mizhi Village, it constitutes a defense line hundreds of miles deep.

The 80,000 soldiers led by Shen Kuo and Chong'e were stationed on the front line of Hengshan based on these walled forts, and if the Western Xia sent a large army to attack one, the other walled forts would quickly send troops to support, or simply go to the enemy's rear route.

If you want to besiege all these nine walled forts, Western Xia really doesn't have so many troops, and you can't give up all the other border passes. The Northern Song Dynasty placed more than 200,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 soldiers on the front line of the Yongxing Military Road, and the emptiness of any place will lead to the loss of the whole game, and the Xia people can still understand this truth.

As a result, the two armies returned to the previous state of confrontation, but the strategic advantage was slightly tilted towards the Northern Song Dynasty. Losing this part of the Hengshan moat, the Song army could go down the slope and attack the territory of Western Xia at any time. And the Western Xia became the original Song people, who had to guard against the Song army going north all the time and had no danger to defend, and the defensive pressure suddenly increased a lot.

However, the ability of the nomads to mobilize troops is indeed stronger than that of the farming peoples, and Rao is to strengthen the strength of the Xiangyou Military Division and the Shenyong Military Division is insufficient, and the Western Xia Imperial Court still sent new reinforcements to Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division at the fastest speed, with a number of about 20,000 people.

Whether there are more, and who the new commander of the military department will be, it is not yet known. All of this information was collected piecemeal by Jiang Erlang when he attacked and harassed the territory of Western Xia, and there was a big question mark on its reliability.

Hong Tao is not in a hurry to know who the other party's general is, no matter who it is, he is a stranger to himself, and he can't talk about it at all, so why bother with that.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, but this art of war is sometimes useless. Hong Tao believed that as long as the new army was given enough time to train, the new steel plate crossbows could be equipped with the new army as scheduled, the canneries could deliver the canned food and compressed biscuits ordered, and the improved box trucks could arrive in Mawei City smoothly. Regardless of whether they know the other or not, whoever encounters their new army has to kneel.

Unless the opponent can gather ten times the number of his own, and all of them are soldiers who are not afraid of death, it is possible to use siege tactics to slowly consume themselves.

But this situation is unlikely to happen, because he and the new army have been hiding in the shadows, even if they take Mawei City and trap and kill tens of thousands of people, there are almost no Xia people who know themselves and this new army.

Logically speaking, there will not be any Xia general who attaches so much importance to the first contact with him, and it is the Xia people who really need to know themselves and the other. At least in the first few encounters, they will suffer a big loss if they don't know the enemy's situation.

In addition, Hong Tao did not plan to attack alone at all, or he was no longer able to attack alone. Emperor Shenzong still didn't resist the temptation, and was stimulated by Chong'e and his own victory, and his heart, which was already unwilling to be mediocre, was a little ready to move.

At the beginning of the year, a court official document came from Huangzhou City, Chong E and Shen Kuo were promoted, and their actual positions remained unchanged, and they were still guarding Yanyan Road. This decision is very correct, the two of them cooperate very well with one article and one martial arts, one inside and one outside, and it is too cost-effective to transfer as soon as they get some results.

At the same time, it also proved that Xu Xibai was dead, and the emperor and courtiers did not simply rely on the assassin armor to fasten the basin on the head of the seed. On the other hand, it also shows that the breeders are still very powerful in the government and the opposition, otherwise, according to Wang Anshi's temperament, he will definitely not give up if he loses a reformist general in vain.

There is another thing in the official document, the author's name is Li Xian, and he is currently the pacification envoy of Xihe Road. So what did he write? Hong Tao didn't understand it too much, and only understood it after Lian'er's translation. In one sense, it is suggested that Emperor Shenzong take advantage of the domestic instability in Western Xia and the loss of the Hengshan moat to launch a large-scale crusade.

The idea is a bit radical, but it's not without words, and there's a detailed plan. Li Xian suggested that the troops should be divided into five routes to carry out a large-scale northern expedition, and he himself led a total of 70,000 soldiers attached to the Xihe Road and the Nadiluo tribe to attack Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division from Lanzhou;

Qinfeng's border army of 40,000 went north from Huizhou to attack the Xishou Baotai Military Division; The 50,000 border troops of the Yongxing Military Road marched north from Huanzhou to attack the Jingsai Military Division; 100,000 troops from the border army of Yanyan Road went out of Hengshan to attack the Xiangyou Military Division; And the other main frontier defense force of Western Xia, the Shenyong Army, was handed over to Hedong Road to contain it.

In total, about 300,000 soldiers needed to be mobilized in this battle, which was twice as large as the number of soldiers and civilians, which could be described as a great general attack. So what are the strategic goals? To Hong Tao's surprise, Li Xian actually chose Liangzhou.

The other four roads were actually feints, just to contain the Western Xia army and could not be mobilized at will, and the Tubo soldiers of Xihe Road and Na Liluo were the main force. The former fought fiercely with Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division at Zhuo Luo City, while the latter's 30,000 Tubo soldiers took the opportunity to go down the plateau from the west of Qingtang to Xiliangfu.

Once the city of Liangzhou fell, the trouble of Western Xia would be great. This is the east end of the Hexi Corridor, the north is the vast Alxa three deserts, the south is the continuous Qilian Mountains, only the middle of the road can connect the east and west and is suitable for human life, or how to call it a corridor.

If this corridor had been cut off by the Song Dynasty, Western Xia would have actually been split into two parts. The east and west are no longer easily connected, and a piece of fertile land and pasture has been lost.

Once the Western Xia transferred troops to the west to attack Liangzhou, the Song army could go north from Lanzhou to intercept it, and it could also use troops on the Yongxing Military Road, so that the Western Xia could not take care of it.

Moreover, Western Xia did not have much troops deployed in the western region, and there were more than 20,000 people in the Xiping Military Division in Guazhou alone. If they did not get support from the rear, the Uighurs and the Yellow Heads in the Western Regions would encroach on the eastward advance, and they would have fought all the way to the Gansu Military Division.

Li Xian's plan is not inaccurate, and it is also very hidden. The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for decades, and there was never a single operation against Liangzhou, which was very deceptive.
