"It's finally here," Cai Ting was a little worried and a little happy. ＋＋＋＋

Forced by the strength of the other party, Cai Ting is also anxious, the main thing is that victory has become a norm, and everyone's mentality can be calm, but defeat has become a norm, the enemy is coming again, and anyone will be in a hurry.

Cai Ting frantically asked the court for money, silk, weapons and supplies, and Han Qi made Cai Ting impatient.

And under Cai Ting's soft and hard pressure, the three-way chiefs Wang Su, Wang Juyuan, and Li Shen were also overwhelmed. But this forced to some extent, the three of them had to support, they supported it was very powerful, so the volume of soju trade surged, every day there were countless shochu boats, boats, cars and horses, dumping to the Tibetan side, and then exchanged for fur medicinal materials, as well as the goods from the Western Regions transported from the South Silk Road, dumped to Jingzhao Mansion, and then dumped by the merchants of Jingzhao Mansion to all parts of the Central Plains.

The money earned turned into war horses, so that everyone in the more than a dozen battalions of cavalry on Huanqing Road had horses.

It became weapons and armor, and some began to let the soldiers change their clothes, and some entered the state treasury.

It became a meat diet, which, combined with hard training, made the soldier physically stronger.

It has become a money silk, and it is constantly changing the law and rewarding it.

It's just that Cai Ting is very careful, the troops of Huanqing Road are not in Huanzhou and Qingzhou, and the troops on the front line are only more than ten battalions of officers and soldiers in addition to the troops of Fanluo and strongmen, and then the troops of Huachi County, and these more than ten battalions of officers and soldiers continue to pretend to be weak in order to confuse the enemy.

The reward was not put into the hands of the soldiers, Cai Ting also learned from Wang Ju and released it to the soldiers' families in the rear. Therefore, the Western Xia scouts could not be heard.

Except for Huachi County, the place where the real military training is conducted has already been made public, and there is no need to hide it. There is no need to hide it. Retrain the army and strengthen the army. It's just a few thousand soldiers and horses, and it won't be put in the eyes of the Tangut people. The rest were taken to the remote river valley or fort for training in the rear under the leadership of Zhang Yu and the seed doctor, and Cai Ting ordered all roads to be blocked and not allowed to outsiders to enter. Therefore, the Tanguts did not inquire either. Even in order to confuse the enemy, even the Fan Luo army did not put horses for the time being, but put them in the valley in the rear to raise.

The two major workshops are full of teachers and hundreds of craftsmen. plus three or four hundred apprentices, who were young men recruited from the homes of the common people.

In ancient times, the rules of learning art were very strict, and even had to pay money to apprentice, and after apprenticeship, the master would often conceal the craft and not teach, until after learning n years, let the master squeeze a lot of value, and then look at the apprentice's table xiàn to teach the real craft.

Ironsmithing is also a craft, and the government also gave some money, so the people did not complain about this apprentice. It's just that for the sake of concealment, it is not disclosed. Otherwise, there will be people who will sign up enthusiastically.

In addition, many officers and soldiers were also drawn to do miscellaneous work.

However, the two major workshops were not well protected, so Western Xia had not yet heard really useful information.

The wine is even more exciting, but it is some high-level officials of the Song Dynasty who are alarmed, and it is in the rear, and the Xixia people can hear about it, but no one will have that vision to pay attention.

But this is hidden from Western Xia, and the imperial court cannot hide it.

So Cai Ting also went to the sea, once the Western Xia did not invade after the autumn, even he made a big joke.

Hearing that the Xixia people began to gather and prepare to go out to the army, the outcome was unpredictable, Cai Ting was somewhat worried, but half of his hanging heart also dropped.

In any case, the Tangut people are indeed about to go out of the army, and no one will dare to laugh at him.

Wang Ju's heart also fell to the ground. Although Cai Ting's official position is high, he is just a follower, and he is the one who pioneered, not invading, but the movement on Huanqing Road is so big, after the truth is revealed, the ministers in the court will be able to drown themselves alive with spit.

He said: "Gong Cai, now that the Western Xia people have begun to gather, they probably want to wait for the autumn grain to be harvested before they will go out to the army, so that they can bring more grain and grass over." But it's good news for us, at least for another month. ”

If the big war comes every night, the strength of Huanqing Road will be increased by one point. The later it drags on, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the battalions on the Huanqing Road will be.

"Wang Ju, this is true from our point of view, but have you ever thought that Western Xia has only begun to collect troops and horses now, as you said, it is to wait for grain and grass, but if they wait for grain and grass, then they will inevitably send more troops. Otherwise, if the Western Xia sent a small number of troops, they would have had a bumper harvest last year and spring, and there would be enough grain and grass. Moreover, they will plunder when they send troops, and plundering can supplement some food. Then you don't have to wait for their autumn rations. ”

"Cai Gong is right, if you look at it from the other party's point of view, this time point set means that there are a lot of troops, maybe they still want to fight a protracted war."

"It's not a small ambition." Zhang Ji said on the side.

If it is only to attack Dashun City, why fight a protracted war.

If you fight a protracted war, it will not be Dashun City, but ...... Gyeongju City!

"Brother Qianfu, don't be surprised, isn't this something we expected?"

Cai Ting stroked his beard and was thinking about countermeasures. However, Western Xia has only begun to collect now, and the information obtained here is limited, and it is impossible to find out how many soldiers and horses will be sent. If you don't know the exact number, you won't be able to come up with a good countermeasure.

Wang Ju said again: "Gong Cai, besides, Western Xia likes to win more and less, and Qingli has several battles, so the troops dispatched at that time are few?" ”

"Yes, in fact, our approach is inappropriate, if this time the Western Xia poured countless troops to invade Gyeongju, the troops in other areas must be empty, so what about the defense of Huanqing Road, and the other ways to take the initiative to attack?" Zhang Qi said again.

It seems that this strategy is very good, for example, this Western Xia invasion, Gyeongju used special feet to deliver the news to Fulin Road and Qinfeng Road, the army wants to reach these two roads, it will take many days, and the fast horse delivery time will not be too long, two or three days will arrive.

There are many cavalry in the Western Xia, and the marching degree is fast, and the collection can be slow. The Song Dynasty was also slow to collect points, but to see how to point the collection, if there were not hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it would be very easy for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to come to a shallow attack, and there were no tens of thousands of soldiers and horses along the way, and they were in all kinds of forts. Then it can be done within five days, and quickly counterattack from the other two roads, and then the Western Xia people will have a headache.

"Brother Qianfu, no. It is a five-way cooperation, and it must be supported by the court, but the court supports spending money to buy peace. There are too many ministers who value peace. Secondly, the commander of the five roads must have a certain military talent. It has to be like Cai Gong. Otherwise, you have soldiers in your hands. It will also be because of the mistake in the use of troops, and the enemy will win more with less. However, how many of the Manchu ministers really knew how to use troops? Therefore, the commanders of the five roads all understand military affairs, and it is even more impossible. Besides, that would be tantamount to a big war, and the country has so much financial resources now? ”

Wang Ju paused and said: "This is just like me and the noble man in the capital, and the shallow attack tactics you said, because of the shallow attack, even if you lose, there will be no fiasco." Then the Western Xia was forced to enter a war of attrition, and the military system based on the conscription system was changed to a military system based on permanent soldiers and conscription, and the financial situation alone dragged the Western Xia down. If you ignore it, you can only watch our army advance step by step by relying on the fort, and even take the entire Hengshan. Once Hengshan is lost, can Western Xia still be able to hold it? But not now, the soldiers are not strong, the battalions do not pay attention to scouts and intelligence, and there are not many qualified commanders and heavy generals to command, and this ...... Finance. ”

"Money is ......", although the gentleman is ashamed of his words. Zhang Ji let out a long sigh. It's not good to talk about money, but it's okay not to talk about money?

"You guys. It's too far ahead," Cai Ting said with a smile and tears.

As he spoke, he picked a sorghum spike and returned to Gyeongju City. Gotta ask for money.

Regardless of whether this sorghum was made by Wang Ju's hand or not, it came from Gyeongju, and it is not an auspicious ear piled up with a single plant with fertilizer, but a huge ear of energy production. This is also a great achievement, and it is also a reason to ask for money.

Besides, the Tangut people have begun to gather troops and horses, and they are really going to fight, the emperor, Han Xianggong, don't you give more money and materials?

It's too late to ask for it now, and if it's too late, it's too late.

…………

The clouds of war loomed.

Ye Weima was also paying attention to the movements in Gyeongju, and a few scouts brought them up, and Ye Weima asked, "Is there any movement in the Song Dynasty?" ”

One of them replied: "No, if there is any movement, only there is movement in Huachi County, and some armor has been changed." ”

"This Wang Ju!" Ye Yuma said hatefully, why can he exchange armor and weapons, and can reward soldiers, these money is the wealth exchanged for soju from the Western Xia. Dare he didn't think about this problem, it was a part of the light of the Western Xia, but this was a transaction, mainly because of the huge wealth of the Song Dynasty, and the profits were also exchanged for goods from the Western Xia, and they were traded again from the Song Dynasty.

Anyway, Ye Weima can't eat Wang Ju's meat and pick Wang Ju's skin now.

Ye Weima began to record the information from the scouts and reported it to Li Liangzuo.

The thousands of officers and soldiers in Huachi County became Ye Weima's thorns, but Huanqing's general appearance still made Ye Weima very optimistic. And Huanqing Road can also be regarded as a good year of wind and rain, the grain is growing very well, these grains are the supply of the Western Xia army in the future, the better it grows, the more beneficial it is to the attack of the Western Xia army.

He wrote down these situations in bits and pieces and asked his subordinates to send them to Xingqing Mansion.

Song Ji retreated and went home.

Xiangyu asked strangely: "Official, what's wrong, I'm a little unhappy." ”

"I've always had some uneasiness in my heart."

"Where is the uneasiness? Could it be that the officials were worried about the Western Xia attack? Official, you have a talent, but the Song Dynasty doesn't need you, it's the Song Dynasty that bears you ......"

"I'm still thinking about the good of the Song Dynasty, not this."

"Why is that?"

"Do you think that Xiaozhi County is a powerful person?"

Xiangyu thought about it for a while, at the beginning, Wang Ju accompanied the Zhu family's little two to see her, and then because of Maomao, the kid was angry and left with a wonderful little order. At the beginning, I just thought he was talented and a little arrogant, but I didn't expect to grow up so fast. After thinking about it, Xiangyu said, "It's very powerful." ”

"Is he a forbearant figure?"

"It seems so."

"Now Gyeongju Xinzhizhou is more cowardly than the previous two Zhizhou, but that kid continues to train as if he didn't see it......

"Wasn't Sun Wei just as cowardly at the beginning, but did that kid take Sun Chu in his eyes?"

"No, I always feel that something is wrong." Song Ji said distressedly, but let him say, and he couldn't say it.

When the war came, there were many people who were uneasy on the Song Dynasty's side, but there was a kind of optimism on the Western Xia side. (To be continued!)
