In the marshal's mansion, Xu Ping looked at the main military officials in front of him and the two civil officials, Chong Shiheng and Shi Yannian, and said: "Everything is pre-planned, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, and you are most afraid of being at a loss and having no clue." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhat we do and how to do it in Qinzhou is the first thing to figure out. And in order to sort things out, we must first understand what kind of difficulties we are facing. Since the party Xiang Hao rebelled against the Song Dynasty, Qin Fenglu has been standing still for more than half a year, and the other three roads, especially the Yanyan Road, have killed and plundered many of the surrounding Tibetan tribes that are not attached to the imperial court, and have made a lot of meritorious contributions. In recent months, the imperial court and Shaanxi Road have been dissatisfied with us, believing that even if they want to raze and show favor to the surrounding Tibetan tribes, they should also let them flank the party and cooperate with other roads. How can such a thing be done? When we first came, we were not familiar with the surrounding feelings, especially in the north of the Wei River, where the party was trained, there were many people, and it was difficult to reach the imperial edicts. It's different now, and in the past six months, we have basically figured out the situation around the Tibetan tribes and roughly grasped their movements. Look at it after the autumn, the horse fat after the autumn is fine, and it is common to enter the country. Autumn prevention is a problem that the northern borderlands have to face, how to prevent Qinfeng Road, everyone expresses their opinions! ”

After speaking, he sat down behind the case, and asked the officials who came to sit down as well.

After autumn, it is not only the season for Fanhu to go south, but also the season for the Central Plains to attack northward. At present, Shaanxi has four roads along the border, and the Yanyan Road is the most active, and the Hengshan area they are facing is full of party Xiangqiang, and the situation is more complicated than that in the west. Of course, Dang Xiangqiang may not necessarily be attached to Yuan Hao, and there are many who loyally serve the imperial court. For example, the folding family of Fuzhou, since the founding of the country, has been a semi-feudal town, and the world has guarded Fuzhou, although it is of the same clan as the party, it is the most resolute local force to resist the party.

When Fan Yong arrived in Yanzhou, he encouraged his subordinates to actively cover up and kill the surrounding Tibetan tribes, and the small battles continued. Fan Yong also did not hesitate to reward the soldiers who made meritorious contributions, because there were many generals and colonels who were promoted to the rank of military meritorious. Originally, Xu Ping wanted to transfer Di Qing from Yan Yan Road to himself, just because it seemed that it was easy to make military achievements and be promoted quickly, but Di Qing politely refused.

A victory, because of military merits, it is common for school officers to be promoted to the third and fourth ranks, and there are many who are overmoved to the seventh or eighth rank. In peacetime, it took five years to move to the first rank, and twenty or thirty years of official roads were completed in one battle, and military merit was a great temptation for military generals.

After taking a seat, Xu Ping said to Wang Kai: "Qinfeng Road, especially Qinzhou's anti-autumn deployment, you can talk about it first. ”

Wang Kai got up and crossed his hands in response, walked to the large map, and said: "Qinfeng Road is in autumn, the key is in Qinzhou." Although there are also Tibetans around Longzhou, they are all weak, so we won't talk about it today, and we'll talk about it afterwards. ”

"Qinzhou's autumn prevention is mainly in three directions. Northern Frontier Party item. If the party is trapped in the Zhenrong army, it will either go to Weizhou along the valley road and threaten Guanzhong; Either along the Haoshui River Valley Road, enter the Wating River Valley Road and commit Qinzhou. The Zhenrong army is the enemy's front, and once there is an accident, the cage city in the south will be the Weizhou road, and the Jingbian village in the southwest will be the Qinzhou road. The Shuaifu has moved to Weizhou, so that they can guard against these two places. In addition, the Wende Shun army was stationed in the capital supervisor Liu Jianji and the head of the border village in Quanjing, Liu Hu, and asked them to report the enemy situation to Qinzhou every five days from September onwards. The northern autumn defense is the key to the Deshun army, and we will move again according to their border situation. ”

In mountain warfare, river valleys are of particular strategic value, and the northwest is more important than the southwest. In the northwest, where the mountains are broken, the river valley is almost the only wide and flat road, and the march of the army must follow the valley road. Although the party did not rely on waterways to transport grain, because agriculture and population were concentrated in the valleys, they mainly plundered along the river valleys.

The control of the river valley is the core of mountain warfare that has been repeatedly emphasized by military geography, and the importance is even higher than the pass, so building forts in key places in the river valley is the most important means of defense. The forts of Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road were basically built along the river valley, one was to control food and population, and the other was to guard the key roads. There are three most important forts guarding the roads in the Sichuan Valley in the north of Qinzhou, one is the Deshun army, that is, the cage city, the second is the Jingbian village, and the third is the Shuiluo City that connects the road between Qinzhou and Weizhou.

Shuiluocheng is not under the control of the imperial court, it is an area of Shengfan activities, and there is no way to control it. Liu Jianji, the chief general of Weizhou Gate Langgan City, is the younger brother of Liu Ping, the chief general of Yanyan Road and Huanqing Road, and the main general of Jingbian Village, the north gate of Qinzhou, is Liu Hu, the younger brother of Liu Lian, all because of Enyin. Liu Hu was born in Jiangmen, and Liu Lian is the same grace as the official, and the official is the right servant and the Weizhou Wating Village is imprisoned, so the owner of the Jingbian Village has a power word. Wating Village is Gu Xiaoguan, but because there is now a Zhenrong army, it is no longer the front line, so Liu Hu, who has a general, was sent to Jingbian Village.

Xu Ping motioned for Wang Kai to stop first, and said: "Last month, Liu Hu moved to Marshal Wen's mansion, saying that the Duo of the Tibetan Department near Shuiluo City intends to accept the quality and surrender, and if this matter is successful, a big city can be built there." Shuiluocheng controlled the surrounding Tibetan provinces, so the road from Qinzhou to Weizhou would be unimpeded, and if something happened, the two states could help each other. Gao Daquan, the Guiming Shenwu Army must be prepared, once Liu Hu goes to the Shuiluo area to build a city, you must go forward to support, and you must not miss the military plane at that time! ”

Gao Daquan got up and crossed his hands to promise. His army was stationed in Qingshui County, the closest to the area around Shuiluocheng.

After the instructions, Wang Kai continued to talk about other directions: "The other road of Qinzhou Fangqiu is the northwest direction, and according to the Shuaifu's knowledge, this is the most likely way to have an accident this year. Lan and Hui two states of the Tibetan tribe Yu Zang Hua Ma was lured by the party to marry the daughter of the Hao thief, and now he is the minion of the Hao thief. In the past few years, they have made a lot of profits by selling the green and white salt of the party to Longyou, but the three shops are now selling fine salt at a low price, cutting off their financial route, and they must be dissatisfied. Most of the forts in the west of Qinzhou are built along the Wei River, and the north of the river is mostly Shengfan. If Yuzang Huama invades, it will inevitably come along the Sanduchuan River of Zhegu, Dagu and Gangu, and invade Fuqiang Village. This road is full of shengbo, and the imperial court decrees are not passed, which is more difficult than other roads. According to the strategy of the handsome, when the machine is to pay close attention to the situation on this road, to brake quietly. If Yu Zanghua Ma comes to attack, he will strive to annihilate it in the Sandu River and pacify Hebei in one fell swoop! This road is the key to Qinzhou's autumn prevention this year, and the specific strategy will be discussed in detail afterwards, and now I will only talk about it. ”

"The last road is to the west, the ancient Weizhou area. There are mostly familiar households, and there are many walled forts built by the imperial court, which are not much dangerous compared with the northwest road. If something happens, it could be in both directions. One is that there are a lot of salt ponds there, all of which are under the control of the Qingtang Qiang and Shangding clans, and we sell fine salt, and they are also affected. However, the leaders of these two clans have approached the Shuai Mansion, and the three shops have promised to buy their salt, so they should not betray them. Another Yuzang hemp may not directly invade Qinzhou, but from the west of the city to the Xianhe Valley Road, the ancient name of the area, and then along the Wei River Valley Road to the east, invade Qinzhou. There are many fortresses in Ningyuan, Luomen and Yongning on this road, although the road can be walked, but most of them are familiar households under the imperial court, and there are troops to guard them. If he came from this direction, he would be stationed in the Xuanwei Army, and he would not be so big-hearted. ”

Xu Ping said: "As long as Yuzang Huama is not a pig's brain, it will not come from the West Road, otherwise it will hit the iron plate." The West Road mainly pays close attention to the Tibetan tribes, especially the Tibetan tribes with salt ponds, although they receive their salt, there may not be people who are dissatisfied and take the opportunity to make trouble. The main energy of the military deployment in the autumn is still placed on the northwest road, in the Sanduchuan River Valley. In addition, the Qingji River connects the Sandu River and the Wating River Valley Road, and it is also necessary to prevent thieves from turning into the Wating River from there instead of taking the Sandu River. Qingjichuan's medicine family has recently been attached, and it is very deferential, and it is not dangerous to think about it. However, if you want to fight, you must take care of me, and you can't leave anything to chance. Therefore, in the Tibetan Department in the area of Qingji River, the Jiyi Division should send capable personnel to collect intelligence there, pay close attention to the situation there, and immediately report to the Marshal's Mansion if there is any change. ”
