Glancing at Nanchuan Village, Ali Gu scolded fiercely.

He returned from Taozhou and attacked Hezhou City, and if he wanted to break through Hezhou City, he had to break through Nanchuan Village, the southern gate of Hezhou City.

And guarding Nanchuan Village are still two unknown young generals, Wang Zhen and Wang Hou, in fact, these two people can not be called nameless, they have already made great achievements with their father Wang Junwan and Wang Shao.

If it weren't for the fact that they had too few troops in their hands, maybe everyone didn't believe in them too much, otherwise both of them could take the army out of the city and wrestle with Ali Gu to see who had the most strength.

Therefore, Ali Gu fought hard for several days.

At the beginning, Miao Zhu was still not very relieved, Ali Gu came with 70,000 horse infantry troops, but a few days later, Miao Zhu finally ate tea boldly and with confidence in Hezhou.

A few days can not go down to Nanchuan Village, but a large number of soldiers were damaged, Ali Gu was angry, ordered to burn more than 20,000 houses around the house, looted 30,000 grains in the cellar of the local Tibetan people, and then coerced thousands of people in the two departments of the Biao family and the Yang family to serve as people, and turned to Xizhou.

In fact, the more Ali Gu does this, the more people in Xihe Road will be disappointed in him.

Of course, including the Nanhui Prefecture side, it can only happen once, if this happens every time, it means that the Song army is unable to protect, then there will be many Tibetan troops who fall to Western Xia or Tubo. But it's not that Ali is short-sighted, so many soldiers and horses have to eat, in this era of cold weapons, they are Tibetan people, they are very hungry, not to mention killing people, setting fire to robbing grain and grass, nothing can be done.

Ali Gu slid to Xizhou again, and Miao Zhu couldn't do anything about it, and there were too few troops on Xihe Road.

And according to Wang Ju's plan, Ali Gu will not care about this part for the time being, and the main attack is still on the Taozhou side, but that ghost chapter is very difficult. Therefore, Miao Zhu divided the poor army to support the fellowship.

So now, except for a very few important forts, the rest of the forts have been abandoned.

But everyone agrees with Wang Ju's plan, the combined forces of the two countries are nearly 200,000, and the surrounding Song Dynasty only has the troops of Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road. The three roads together, how many troops can be there, and a lot of troops will be divided into Mingsha City.

You can only concentrate your forces and eat bite by bite.

As for Xizhou, Miao Zhu is not worried, because there is still a tiger general over there, that is, Wang Junwan, Wang Junwan's father, there are many kings in this battle, Wang Junwan and his son. Wang Hou, the son of the martyr Wang Qi, Wang Guangzu, Wang En, Wang Shu, Wang Wenyu, Wang Wenzhen...... But it's not Wang Ju's intention, there are too many people surnamed Wang.

However, Miao Zhu was suddenly startled, and he thought of a serious problem. That is Dingxi City.

If Ali Gu can slide to Xizhou, he can slide to Dingxi City. Once the two sides attack and break through Dingxi City, Lanzhou will be in danger. And the fatal thing is that Dingxi Chengyu Zanghua Ma was originally a figure at both ends of the head and a mouse.

So he immediately informed Zhang Kai of this judgment with a fast horse, which was very likely, and Zhang Kai immediately ordered Wang Guangzu of Ganquan Fort and Liu Sunchen of the garrison in Jingbian Village. With two generals and soldiers before the arrival of the Tubo people, they settled in Dingxi City, Qinzhou Han Xu entered Ganquan Fort, and Zhao Shuo led troops to Gongzhou for reinforcements.

After giving this order, Zhang Ji sighed slightly. Don't think that Ali bones are fun, in fact, they are slippery like this, Ali bones are very dangerous, if the Song army is sufficient, it may be possible to let his 90,000 (and 20,000 in Taozhou) soldiers and horses have no return.

But the troops in his hands were insufficient, so he had to watch Ali bones slide rampantly around.

In fact, all the plans were formulated, otherwise Zhang Qi would rather eat the soldiers and horses of Ali Gu than deal with the Western Xia, because as long as the 90,000 soldiers and horses were gnawed down, the Song Dynasty could easily recover Huangzhou, and it would not be too late to deal with the Western Xia.

But now it's clearly too late to change plans.

In fact, Ali Gu only slipped to Xizhou, and did not dare to slide to Gongzhou and Qinzhou.

The reason is the same as Li Yuanhao's prancing horse outside Chang'an City, his move frightened the Song Dynasty, and in fact Li Yuanhao did not dare to forcibly attack Chang'an City, although there was a lot of wealth in Chang'an City. As long as he attacks, he will fall here, and even if he captures, Li Yuanhao's losses will be very heavy. But there are still a large number of garrisons on Shaanxi Road, and if they come up from all sides, he will get a lot of wealth, and he will not want to go back. So he raised his prestige outside Chang'an City and quickly retreated.

However, Xizhou is also difficult to attack, so Ali Gu turned his attention to Dingxi City, which is also inevitable.

But he felt that his forces were somewhat scattered, so before using troops to settle Xicheng, he gave an order to Guizhang to set up a flying bridge in the northeast corner of Taozhou to facilitate mutual exchanges.

This is also confined to the terrain, the north of Taozhou is the exposed mountain, Wang Shao attacked Taozhou, turned over this mountain, but it was a surprise attack, now Ali bone does not need the so-called surprise attack, and the erection of the flying bridge, is convenient to travel, why bother to climb the high and steep exposed mountain. In addition, the only mountain pass, earlier Tubo built Gongling City, Yeli Pass, now occupied by the Song army, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people can not open, even Nanchuan Zhai Ali bone can not be attacked, besides, is such a dangerous pass?

Therefore, the flying bridge is erected on Taoshui, so from the east of Taoshui, you can reach Xizhou along the Mabang Mountain in the north. As for the friendship, he didn't dare to use soldiers at the beginning, and Ali Gu didn't care at all.

Either you have the courage to go out of the city to fight, we are waiting for you, out of the city, how much combat strength can your Song army play?

…………

Wang Ju didn't expect Ali to be bold, and he actually slipped to Xizhou, looking at the arrows on the map where Tubo went, Wang Ju also wanted to eat them.

But after watching it for a long time, Wang Ju also sighed.

"Taibao, why are you sighing?" Xu Jiang asked.

"Duke Xu, if General Wang Chao had decisively led more than 100,000 Dingzhou officers and soldiers south to cut off the back route of the Liao State when the Liao State went south, the Kolai Guild would not agree to Zhenzong's Yuanyuan Alliance. Or when Li Yuanhao's troops came to Chang'an, they couldn't contain their greed and attacked Chang'an City, and several officers and soldiers from Shaanxi and the forbidden soldiers in the capital surrounded them from all directions, what would happen? ”

In this way, no matter how Han Jin, he may understand.

Ali's bones slipped too far, but he was different from the Song army's attack on Xia, although the Song army was defeated under the city of Lingzhou, it removed the forts along the way, so as long as he could escape, he could escape back. However, now Xihe Road is short of troops. Even most of the forts were abandoned, but the important forts were still under the control of the Song army.

In fact, Ali Gu did this, which seems arrogant, but it is actually very risky.

Even if Wang Shao, who is open and close, uses troops, he will first take Mabang Mountain, and then take Xizhou. Then use soldiers to Taozhou, Hezhou, even so, once almost let the Tubo people cut off the back road, so in the important places along the way, several forts were built to ensure the security of supply, which gradually recovered the Xihe.

Where is it so rampant as Ali Bone? Moreover, the army of Ali Gu is not entirely cavalry, and like Wang Shao, the horse infantry army is mixed.

"It would be nice to transfer the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Road as soon as possible." Han Zhen also sighed.

Wang Ju shook his head.

The most capable officers and soldiers on Jingzhao Road are none other than Zheng Baiqu's Baojie, but they went to Lingzhou with Gao Zunyu and suffered heavy losses, and the tens of thousands of Baojie trained that year are now only more than 10,000 people left.

It may still be used, but that will get the real summer war, and the battle will be decided. Now this tug-of-war is not necessary. I can't bear to call these soldiers any more.

As for the forbidden soldiers, several officers and soldiers with strict military discipline have also been transferred to the front line one after another, and the remaining officers and soldiers cannot be taken seriously.

There are also officers and soldiers on the Yan Road. The distance is too far to be transferred.

The number of officers and soldiers of the four routes who actually participated in the war was not small, and the forts of the four routes still had to send officers and soldiers to stay behind. Half herding and half farming, otherwise the salary paid by the imperial court is too small, and it is precisely with these farming incomes, and tax exemptions, that their income increases, and they increase their income, so that they have the confidence to fight. However, the summer harvest is about to come up, and unlike the Western Xia, a horizontal mountain barrier makes the weather in Shaanxi a little warmer than the Western Summer, and the summer harvest time is also a few days earlier. Therefore, the number of officers and soldiers of the Fourth Route is quite large, but they cannot all be mobilized......

At the same time, Wang Juzhang used soldiers, unlike Wang Shao, Wang Shao is open and closed, and Wang Zhang and Wang Zhang are good at all kinds of calculations.

If it is Wang Shao, then you can draw some troops from Lanzhou, although it is not as many as the troops in the hands of Ali Gu, but Wang Shao will definitely dare to fight.

But if it is replaced by Wang Ju and Zhang Qi, then there is a calculation, unlike Western Xia, Wang Zhang and the others have already played a good game of chess in Mingsha City, but Ali Gu unexpectedly slipped to Xizhou, where is there time to arrange any good strategies.

Then it's time to calculate.

It is not possible to hold on in the city, even if the forts are not lost, they are still passively beaten.

As for the field battle out of the city, the actual Song army was not as weak as Ali Gu thought.

Especially against the Tubo people, the Song army has never been afraid at all. The question is still the strength of troops......

If the strength is about the same, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi may dare to attack the army of Ali Gu, and the lord of Xihe Road will be Miao Zhu, even if it is to pay heavy casualties, it will be worth it, after this army is eaten, Huangzhou is equal to within reach.

The gap between Guan Jian's troops is too great, or if you mobilize strong men and strong horses from various Tibetan tribes from the local area to use the Tubo people to deal with Aligu's Tubo army, how much brains do you have to open before you dare to do this?

But it can't be said that Wang Ju and Zhang Ji are not as good as Wang Shao together, each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The opportunity is great, but the stomach is too small to eat, so I have to stop eating.

Wang Ju put down the urgent reports in his hand and thought about it again.

Song Jun didn't really do it, but by this time, Wang Ju had already judged the approximate result.

So he went to the Third Division, looked through the general ledger of state revenue and expenditure, and calculated the future surplus of the Song Dynasty in his heart.

Well, it is a surplus, although the income of the Song Dynasty fell to 180 million, but this income can basically be kept, although there is no 30 million stimulus next year, and there is no 31 million infrastructure pull, but the southern three roads began to transfuse blood to the imperial court, although it is not much, but this income can be kept flat.

From this year onwards, there will be no allocation for infrastructure, and there will be no allocation for subsidies for horse and Ding households.

Therefore, from this year onwards, if we do not count the military expenses, we will be able to generate more surpluses, and we can also roughly calculate the annual surplus of the country in the future.

Of course, if a major disaster occurred in the Song Dynasty, Wang Ju would also be sad. But has there been a major disaster in the Song Dynasty in recent years? Wang Ju thought about it carefully, although he couldn't remember it clearly, but it seemed that at the beginning of Yuanyou in history, there should be no major disasters in the country.

However, there is also a Tibetan, so I don't know how much surplus there is in the inner treasury...... Wang Ju thought in his heart, and then met Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy Western Xia, you must at least gather most of the troops on the two roads of Shaanxi and Hedong."

Zhao Ji nodded. Now he knew that it was really not easy to destroy Western Xia.

"But Ali Gu betrayed the imperial court, once my army went north, Ali Gu either took the opportunity to encroach on Gansu and other states, and undoubtedly immediately sat down, which was to destroy a wolf and give birth to a tiger. Even with his audacity. Maybe take the opportunity to counterattack Xihe Road, or even Qinzhou and Weizhou, then our army will lose ground in the territory of Western Xia, and nine times out of ten it will lag behind the situation when Guan Yu was in Xiangyang. At that time, our army was in danger again. ”

"I'm worried about that, too."

"Don't worry about worrying, after all, the territory left in Tibet is not too big, and Ali Gu is a Uighur, and many tribes are not convinced. Although there are fewer tribes close to the Song Dynasty at the boundary of Huangzhou, I believe that some tribes would rather approach our dynasty. I am also unwilling to accept Ali bones. Of course, it depends on whether our army is strong or not......"

"Qing Zhi's idea is to take Tibet first, and then destroy Western Xia?"

"Exactly."

The plan had to be changed, and even the destruction of Western Xia was to be postponed to the year after tomorrow, but it was originally said that Xia would be cut down next year.

It has to be made clear, otherwise Wang Ju has the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, and Zhang Qi has the officers and soldiers of the Hedong Road. He has always had a close relationship with Wang Ju, if anyone makes a fuss. It also made Zhao Ji suspect that there was no way to fight this war.

But this problem is not big, Zhao Ji can't even understand this.

However, Zhao Ji asked worriedly: "How long will it take?" ”

"It won't be long...... This battle will bring a big surprise to His Majesty. ”

"Oh."

What surprises, Wang Ju didn't say, but it will come soon.

Therefore, after this war, Western Xia may have completely ceased to eat. Then after Wang Ju goes to Shaanxi Road, he can operate Huangzhou with peace of mind, as long as Xixia is not contained, it may not be so difficult to take Huangzhou. And one more. After all, Ali Gu has just barely reluctantly rectified the internal affairs of Tubo, if he is given time, the various departments of Huangzhou and Tubo can be closely integrated, but now...... Although it is not a mess of loose sand, it is not an iron plate, and it is less difficult to use soldiers in Huangzhou at this time than in Song Huizong. In another four or five years, Ali will be given time for bone integration, and it will be two things.

But Wang Ju's voice changed and said: "If the ministers and generals can succeed, the northwest will be safe." ”

Without Tibet, to the west is the Great Desert Gobi Desert, although there are people, there are few people, and they cannot pose a threat to the Song Dynasty, or the more distant Uighurs, dare to be unfavorable to the Song Dynasty?

Then there may be some small rebellion inside, but this will not require much army.

The Song Dynasty could be at ease in the north.

"But in this way, the scale of the war has become larger, and the cost of the war has become more expensive. And the ministers have always been extravagant, not extravagant, but to motivate the soldiers. Therefore, the minister just went to the third division to take a look at the state financial revenue and expenditure, and calculated in his heart, I am afraid that the finances are still insufficient. ”

"There are still some storage ...... in the inner warehouse"

"The minister knows, but how much money can Neku have? So the minister thought of a solution. ”

"What's the solution?"

"This method must not be ......implemented by the country until it is absolutely necessary," Wang Ju hesitated for a while before saying, in fact, this method is really good, but the Song Dynasty is still an imperial country, if the king is mediocre and indiscriminately adopts this strategy, the consequences will be terrible.

Wang Ju shared this strategy with his worries.

It is indeed a good way, but Wang Ju's concern is not unreasonable...... Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "Wang Qing, don't worry, I will write it down and pass it on as a system." ”

"Then the minister is relieved." Wang Ju let out a long breath.

If it weren't for this method, maybe the imperial court would have to give it to the people, in fact, as long as the two countries of Western Xia and Huangzhou were solved together, even if the people suffered a little, what could they do? At this time, there are all kinds of demon moths, as long as they are endowed, once Wang Ju reaches the other side, there will undoubtedly be many people who will use this to make a fuss, and even destroy the good foundation laid by Wang Ju.

The problem of money was solved, Wang Ju was about to retire, and Zhao Ji suddenly asked, "Is my aunt okay over there?" ”

"How can I say it, although Fengshi is the largest port and the largest prosperous city on the other side, and it is also the resettlement point with the largest number of residents, but the scale of Fengshi is at most comparable to that of my Chaozhongzhou, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is content with pleasure and a prosperous life, she will definitely not be used to staying there. However, His Royal Highness has a quiet personality and a simple life, so he can adapt to it. ”

Zhao Ji was silent. Walked several steps back and forth.

In another time and space, I only saw that Zhao Shu and Zhao Xu's father and son were good to the Miao family and Zhao Niannu and her mother, and there was actually an inside story in the middle.

Zhao Shuchu hugged him to the palace, and Mrs. Cao suspected that his mother was a southern slave who had fled from the wilderness, and she was very unhappy, if it wasn't for the protection of Miao Guifei. In the end, Zhao Shu didn't know what the end would be.

understands this, maybe you can understand why Zhao Shu is not "filial" to Mrs. Cao.

Later, Zhao Zhen really had no children, so Mrs. Cao regarded Zhao Shu as a strange commodity and married her niece Gao Taotao to him. But a new crisis came, Zhao Zhen accepted concubines and gave birth to several children, at that time Zhao Shu was still in crisis, and he was rejected in the palace, which was also inevitable. It's the darkest place in the world, it's just hard to see in the history books.

At that time, Zhao Niannu had not yet married, and he was very good to this eldest nephew, but he didn't expect that after marrying into the Li family, Shengsheng drove a group of ministers and evil mothers-in-law crazy, so as soon as he took the throne, he immediately belittled Li Wei. However, Zhao Niannu seemed to be crazy but not crazy, and he was depressed. No one comforted him, Xining died in three years, people are in love, people are gone, and Zhao Wei has no revenge on Li Wei.

Now people are still alive, but they are forced to flee to the "wilderness". In Zhao Ji's eyes, no matter how prosperous the other side is, is it not the same as the wilderness?

Therefore, Zhao Ji was not in a good mood when he thought of this festival.

"Your Majesty, Zi Fei Yu. The joy of Anzhi fish? Your Highness is really good over there, Your Majesty don't worry. ”

"You write to her, no, I personally write to her, the gift she brought back, I like it very much, I don't know what kind of gift she likes?"

"Your Majesty and the princesses are safe and sound, and for Your Highness, it is the greatest gift."

Zhao Ji was silent again.

"Your Majesty, as a human king, you can't have a love for your children." Wang Ju persuaded again.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you talk about it, but the problem is that Wang Ju does violate the system, and if you don't mention it, it's embarrassing to mention Wang Ju himself.

"What a surprise, can you tell me about it?" Zhao Ji obviously realized it and also changed the topic.

"Ali Gu's army, there is nothing to do with them, now it depends on whether Chongyi can take down the 20,000 soldiers of Ghost Zhang, it just so happens that Ghost Zhang despises Chongyi and builds a flying bridge over the Tao River, this is a great opportunity."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, where is the flybridge?"

"Huh?" Zhao Ji woke up slightly, in order not to leak out, only four people knew the specific arrangements on the front line, Wang Ju, Han Zhen and Xu Jiang, and the other was Zhao Ji.

And every few days, Wang Ju drew a strategic map, including the marching routes of each army, marked out together, sent to the palace, and showed Zhao Ji to read, of course, including the location of this flying bridge.

It turned out that Zhao Ji definitely didn't understand, but Wang Ju often explained military knowledge, and even when he started speaking, he also talked about the reasons for the victory and defeat of some large-scale battles from many aspects, just like the Battle of Chibi, and not like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind, and Zhou Yu burned Cao's army with a fire. Even Pang Tong didn't make any chain schemes, maybe Cao Cao did connect some ships together in order to train the navy, so that Zhou Yu was able to use them, and suddenly the southeast wind suddenly attacked Cao's army. But the real object of Cao Jun's failure was not only Zhou Yu's fire attack, but also schistosomiasis, there were many bloodsucking insects in Poyang Lake, and this problem was not solved until the **** time, and this bloodsucking worm caused nearly half of Cao Jun's death. Therefore, after Cao Cao's defeat, he wrote to Sun Quan, the Battle of Chibi, and it happened that my army had a plague, so I burned the ship, and let Zhou Yu get a good reputation in vain.

defeated, Cao Cao was not convinced, and covered up his ugliness.

But the deeper reason is that after Cao Cao took Xiangzhou, he became arrogant.

If the opponent is too weak, then the whole country will be unified in one go. However, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, no matter which one they are, are not characters to mess with.

Therefore, the situation at that time, after Cao Cao took Xiangzhou, he should be stable, just like the Song Dynasty unified the whole country, at least inquire about the situation in Jiangnan clearly, and then he can do it. Why the Eastern Wu Navy did not contract schistosomiasis is also proof of Cao Cao's carelessness.

There are so many soldiers who have died, although they claim to be 800,000 troops, there are not many elite troops in the north that actually belong to the core, and most of these core armies have lost their combat effectiveness, so why not decisively stop using troops? In that case, even Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu did not dare to say that he had Long, and looked back at Shu.

The dissatisfaction of the people's hearts, in fact, among the three kingdoms, in terms of internal affairs, Dongwu was the worst, and the key was that Cao Cao did not stabilize, and even the hearts of the people in Xiangzhou were not subdued, so the soldiers under the two families of Sun and Liu worked together to defeat the Cao army.

Tactics are dull, one is in Poyang Lake, the other is in Chibi, the two armies are deadlocked, dare Cao Cao think it is in Guandu, this is on the river, is it the same as land?

In this way, everyone must have some enlightenment.

But it is also the reason why Wang Ju is a civil servant, if he is replaced by a military general, even if he can fight again, he can let him speak, but he may not be able to say it.

Then Zhao Ji was even more remorseful...... Wang Ju should have been allowed to talk about it a long time ago, so he would not have hurriedly launched the battle of Vaxia. Let's look at the current Wang Ju, let Zhang Qi consume the Western Xia troops step by step, step by step to advance the border to Lingzhou, it is really step by step, after the battle of Pingxia City, first look at the country's economy, the situation of the soldiers of the two countries, this is the battle of Tiandu Mountain, only to capture Xiao Pass, with Xiao Pass, there is this year's battle of Mingsha City...... He even wanted to use Helan stone to destroy the economy of Western Xia. After these foundations have been laid, a general attack will be launched in the future.

How big is the gap between the two.

Especially the right time, place and people, Wang Ju talked a lot.

So now as soon as Wang Juluo reminded him, Zhao Ji thought of two words: location!

Wang Ju took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, that ghost chapter is the first general in Tubo, so the result of this battle is still a little difficult to say." Don't ask here, it's mainly on the Western Xia side, and this year will continue to surprise Your Majesty......"

Here's the surprise! (To be continued.) )
