As long as they can't cross the Wusheling Mountains, they have to make a detour from the territory of Western Xia to Liangzhou, and the difficulty is not ordinary. Even if the Western Xia court hated itself again, it would not put tens of thousands of Song troops into the Gyeonggi region. In case they don't go to Liangzhou and suddenly go north along the Yellow River, they won't have a chance to cry.

There is another way, which is to take Qingtang. Detour to the plateau under the city of Renduoquan, and attack Liangzhou from the southwest along the route of Dong Yu's raid on Liangzhou.

But as long as Xi Luosa is in power, Hong Tao is very sure that he will not assist the Song army to attack him, because he can not give it to the Great Song court.

Even if he can't fight the Song army openly, he will secretly stumble, no more, as long as he can inform himself in advance, then these Song troops who have just come down from the plateau are meat on the chopping block. The new army from Ganzhou and Liangzhou will attack from east to west, not to mention any food routes, and they will starve to death in this mountainous area.

Wusheling was the last retreat that Hong Tao prepared for himself, and when the situation developed to the worst, he could only abandon his wife and daughter, and then lead the new army and craftsmen to start a new business on Ganliang Road, while resisting the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty while expanding westward.

It is estimated that this situation is not what the Great Song Dynasty wants to see, at least before the fall of Western Xia, they are not willing to have another mortal enemy, or a mortal enemy with strong combat effectiveness.

"The last general doesn't need a single soldier, drive!" It was not the first time Jiang Erlang had come to Wusheling Ridge, and he knew that it would be difficult to attack here. But he was not going to admit defeat, but urged his horse to run forward, and the defenders standing at the head of the bridge and on the turret said something.

"This thief is with the army, he wants to deceive the third sister!" Chen Niang quickly figured out what Jiang Erlang wanted to do, he must have lied to Wang San, who was guarding here, saying that Lord Shuaisi's convoy had arrived and put the bridge down first.

Wang San looked forward to the telescope, and it is estimated that he had already seen the convoy, maybe he would really close the bridge deck, and then his own officials would lose.

"Do you think your third sister will be fooled?" Hong Tao was not in a hurry, and he didn't blame Jiang Erlang for cheating.

“…… It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the official has been instructed since he was a child that official affairs should be separated from personal affairs, even if the official returns to Liangzhou City, the city gate will not be opened before the identity is verified. However, the uncle of the Jiang family is very familiar with the third sister, in case she ...... "Chen Niang is a little contradictory, hesitating between rules and favors."

"You have to believe in your own family, since it has been this rule since childhood, you know, your third sister will not know. As long as the official doesn't show up, and others don't have the official's instructions, she shouldn't be fouled. Don't worry, wait and see. Hong Tao was a little worried in his heart, after all, people's hearts are not iron, and rules are sometimes easy to be confused with human feelings.

"Hahaha...... The thief with the army did not succeed! Jiang Erlang finally moved, not to go to the bridge, but to turn the horse's head and come back.

Seeing this scene, Chen Niang smiled happily, on the one hand, she was happy that she won a bet with her own officials, and on the other hand, she was also happy for the third sister.

If Wang San really closes the bridge, it is estimated that her treatment of leading an army to guard Wusheling will be gone, and she will have to go back to follow Wang Da, starting step by step from a junior officer.

"Shh, don't be so rude, kid, call uncle, forget that he also caught a lot of small animals for you?"

Hong Tao is very worried about the changes in Chen Niang for more than a year, not only is her body developing and her intelligence developing, but also her bad problems have grown up together. For example, the mouth is unobstructed, and the sharp teeth and mouth are all big disadvantages. They can't change it, and there's no need to change it, they'd better not learn this.

Jiang Erlang lost even his underwear, and Wang San not only didn't give him accommodation, but almost shot him with an arrow. Because the convoy of the horses was delayed, Wang San suspected that Jiang Erlang had kidnapped the horses and was here to slander himself.

To say that she also has advantages in straightness and temper, she is as selfless as Wang Da who admits death, as long as it involves the matter of the horse, it is estimated that Lian'er will have to be deflated when she comes.

This is just a small episode or a little joke, Jiang Erlang is also about to be tossed and tired, if he loses, he loses, and he doesn't lose meat anyway.

But after arriving in Mawei City, he didn't care so much, because Lord Shuai Si played the game again, and it was still Jiang Erlang who took a group of special forces to call the city gate, and the reason was that Lord Shuaisi's convoy had arrived, and there were no documents either.

This time he lost again, Lord Shuai Si said that the defenders of Mawei City would put a drawbridge to open the city gate, but those Tianwu infantry soldiers and personal servants were really open, or wide open, so they sent out to line up to welcome.

"Do you know how to discipline your subordinates in the future? What to eat, live and fight together is a small section, even if they all treat you as their own father, they can't change the fact of nepotism. No matter what you do, the rules are the rules, and the official affairs should be strictly separated from the private affairs, and try not to mix them together. It's not good for the official to talk to Da Lang about this, so you should tell him in private. But don't blame your eldest brother too much, Mawei City is not as good as Liangzhou, it is all garrisoned by forbidden troops, and Da Lang may not be able to fully command them. ”

Hong Tao played all the way, not just to have fun, but to do an experiment. Until the results of the experiment came in, he was not sure if the rules he had implemented would be effective. Since the suspension bridge of Mawei City was lowered, his heart also relaxed.

The effect is not only there, but it is also obvious. There is no gap without comparison, and compared with Wang Sanyi in Wusheling Mountain, the defenders of Mawei City seem so amateurish and unruly.

Of course, even if you open the gates, the enemy will not necessarily be able to rush in. But if you change the scene and change the thing, the rules may save your life, and if you don't have the rules, you may die.

"The last general has read the adult's arithmetic, it is taught by Wang Dajiao, and the Qian Jing is not very interested. Why don't adults write a book on the art of war, and write out the methods for training the new army, the youth corps, and the children's corps, and the generals will definitely read it well, and they must remember every word. ”

In the face of the facts, Jiang Erlang had to be convinced, he always felt that Lord Shuaisi's armor was powerful, but through this incident, it was shown that the armor was only one aspect, and many ideas for leading soldiers were more important.

From this, he thought of another question, if he could pass on this set of successful experiences to others, even if it was just for reference, it should also have a lot of positive significance for the Great Song army.

"Hehehe, you're not the first person to persuade Benguan to write a book, if you really want to write it, I'm afraid there will be more than one. But are you sure that someone will read it when it's done? Or will those who are willing to watch it have the opportunity to use it? What's the use of writing it if you don't have it? Sometimes teaching people needs to go through books, and sometimes they have to do it. Look at the people here, when this official first arrived in Huangzhou, most of them didn't think very highly of me, the captain of the horse, and they must have said in private that if it wasn't for nepotism, how could they dominate the military and political power of a state. Even if the official had cut off his finger at the time, they didn't believe that there would be today. ”

Jiang Erlang is a good hand at fighting, and when it comes to speculating on people's hearts, he is even inferior to Jiang Dalang. Writing a book is a good thing, but it depends on who writes it. For example, Su Shi wrote a book about poetry, and it had to be out of stock if it was reprinted ten times. But let Wang write a copy, it is estimated that no one will read it.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Turning his head to look at the simple little houses outside the city, and then looking left and right at the crowds on both sides of the road to greet Lord Shuaiji, Jiang Erlang completely understood and agreed.

What Huangzhou is like now Jiang Erlang has no right to speak, but Mawei City has indeed changed. It was also winter when we were stationed here, and at that time, except for the soldiers and barracks, half of the people and houses in the city could not be seen.

There were now pioneers' houses, cattle pens, and sheepfolds inside and outside the city, and a large area of woods had been cut down on the flat land to the south and east, and all of them had been turned into acres.

Although there are no crops to be seen in this season, a look at the carefully constructed hedges with thin branches shows how much care the owners have for the land, fearing that small animals will come in and cause harm.

As long as God is not angry and works hard for a few months, the harvest of the year is not bad, and the fertilizer of the land covered with thick fallen leaves is saved.

Not only did they earn income from farming and grazing, but some pioneers rented their land to others, and then used the rent to build houses in Mawei City and start small businesses.

I have to say that the genes of this profiteer are really flowing in the blood of the Song people, and the people who do this are basically the families of the forbidden army, or small caravans from the mainland.
