Guan Liang was a disciple trained by Wang Jinghui. His way of considering the problem also inherited Wang Jinghui's characteristics - he did not value victory or defeat in military operations. He paid more attention to the degree of damage caused by the Dangxiang tribe to Li Qing's territory. Wang Jinghui has always used economic clamping methods to deal with Li Qing. Even though the Song army took the initiative to attack Wuning Sanbao this time and launched a military strike against Li Qing, it was more like a bunch of robbers who went down the mountain to rob, and they retreated after making a fortune. The real military confrontation that was the Wuning Sanbao guarding battle, but with perfect city defense, the Song army suffered minimal losses.

In addition to irritating Li Qing this time, in addition to irritating Li Qing to siege Wuning Fort, let other forces take advantage of loopholes, the important purpose is to destroy the survival foundation that Li Qing has worked hard for the past two years. If the soldiers die, they can recruit soldiers again. The tribes on the grassland have never lacked excellent sources of troops who are good at riding and shooting. However, if their economic foundation is destroyed, it will not be restored in two or three years. Just like Hongzhou City, after being destroyed by unintentionally, it will be just a small village for two years.

In Wang Jinghui's eyes, the stronger his economy is, he can establish a military strength that matches it. Li Qing has tens of thousands of mouths waiting for him to raise it. His current development momentum is very good. If Li Qing is safe for two or three years, it may really bring a heavy burden to the situation in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. Instead of letting Li Qing grow bigger, it is better to take this opportunity to make a fortune and attack Li Qing's survival foundation. Guan Liang also thinks so. The attack by the Dangxiang tribe on Li Qing has greatly damaged the local economy of the occupied areas, which is much more serious than the blows the Song army has hit Li Qing.

After Guan Liang received the information that the Dangxiang tribe attacked Li Qing, he immediately sent the information in his hand to Fu Bi in Yan'an Prefecture. This Korean official has always advocated rest and avoiding war, but Guan Liang did not think that Fu Bi would do this after receiving the news. He would probably expand the eastern defense line. After all, such an opportunity is really rare. Guan Liang didn't know that Fu Bi also received a letter from Wang Jinghui to him, and his views were exactly the same as Guan.

The coincidence is true - when the Dangxiang tribe in the east is empty, it can launch an attack on Longzhou and Yinzhou, which are very close to the Song Dynasty. The capitals of these two states are not like Hongzhou City. They unexpectedly take down these two cities on the open grasslands and can defend them according to danger and become the northern pass of the Song Dynasty. The border of Song and Xia has thus moved forward 300 miles, not only can they obtain buffer space, but also can make the previously prominent Hedong Road not so eye-catching.

Although Wang Jinghui and Guan Liang did not discuss with each other that they would launch an offensive to Xixia on the eastern front, they were very lucky because Zhong Yan was stationed in the Suide Army. Zhong Yan attacked and snatched back Suizhou from the mouth of the Dangxiang people. Zhong Yan was the most famous general known to Wang Jinghui in this issue, except for Guo Kui and Wang Shao, but this kind of warrior among the three brothers of the Zhong family was rebellious.

Wang Jinghui also knew that this Zong Yan was a famous expert in causing trouble. However, Zong Yan was also considered a famous general. Although Zhong Yan had various shortcomings in the current general system, Wang Jinghui also felt sorry for him to protect Zhong Yan before his ministers impeached him and took the opportunity to plan the battle of the security army. Zong Yan and Guo Kui were contemporaries. The difference was that Guo Kui was appreciated by Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu, and he left the battlefield early and entered the Shu Mansion and became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. However, because of this, Guo Kui encountered the biggest crisis in his life and was almost destroyed on it. In comparison, only Zhong Yan, who was leading the troops outside, was more comfortable.

After the Suide incident, Zhong Yan was dismissed and returned to Biandu. After the Battle of the Security Army, he returned to Han Qi's tent to listen. After Han Qi went to Fubi, Hebei to take over the defense of Shaanxi Fourth Routes, Zhong Yan was also a capable general in Fubi and stationed in Suide army. Wang Jinghui knew that Zhong Yan had many acts alone in history to attack Xixia. The Suizhou incident was the biggest aggression in his military career, but this guy was extremely lucky and could make him succeed. Wang Jinghui was afraid that he would still be as greedy as before after his reinstatement. When Han Qi was in charge of the defense of Shaanxi Fourth Routes, he wrote to Han Qi many times. Although Zhong Yan was arrogant, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of old ministers like Han Qi Fubi.

After Fu Bi received the information from Guan Liang, he recalled Zhong Yan. Zhong Yan immediately launched an attack from Suide Army while the Dangxiang tribe attacked Li Qing's defense was empty, and attacked Yinzhou near Suide Army. He urgently dispatched the special forces from the Jianing Army to Yumou City, and cooperated with the 10,000 soldiers mobilized from Yan'an Prefecture to sneak attack the neighboring Longzhou with a trick. Whether it is Longzhou or Yinzhou, they all have a characteristic - the nearby city of Song Dynasty is very close, and they are all backed by mountains, facing the open grassland of Song Dynasty. Before Zhong Yan succeeded in sneak attacking Suizhou, he used this.

There is no problem with the city, but losing Suizhou as a barrier for these two cities seems more prominent. In addition, Xixia has been at a very unlucky disadvantage in recent years when fighting with the Song Dynasty. It is impossible to strengthen the defense of Longzhou and Yinzhou after losing Suizhou. Both Zhong Yan and Fu Bi think this is an excellent opportunity. The defense power of these two cities was not originally in the eyes of Zhong Yan. Now that the Dangxiang tribe's heavy troops attacked Li Qing, the defense power here seems to be even weaker. At least when attacking the two cities, they will never encounter the raid of the Dangxiang cavalry in the wild.

Wang Shao was spreading the land in Xihe for two thousand miles. After Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, the military generals of the Song Dynasty never had such great results. In terms of the scale of the land, Di Qing's battle results decades ago could not be compared with Wang Shao. This was also determined by the policy direction of the Renzong era. At that time, Li Yuanhao was very ambitious at that time, and it was rare that the two strong men were not as weak as Di Qing as Xixia.

Before, Wang Shao expanded his territory, and Han Qi, who was in the back, was not willing to be outdone. He gave the heavyest blow to Xixia since his founding of the country. These two military achievements have long made the Chinese civil servants and generals of the court very jealous. Fu Bi did not have to care about Wang Shao's achievements, but Han Qi's achievements cannot be ignored. In addition, Zhong Yan encouraged him from the side, and he could no longer help changing his original political views when he was stimulated. The one who could really make Fu Bi feel relieved was Wang Jinghui. Whether it was Han Qi or Wang Shao, he was unable to achieve such great military achievements.

Wang Jinghui's letter a few days ago also vaguely hinted that there is a good chance of favorable fighter opportunities in the direction of the Dangxiang tribe, and promised that his industrial resources in Shaanxi could be mobilized at will for Fu Bi to mobilize. The most important thing is that Wang Jinghui's policy on military farming in the wings will be launched next year, and favorable financial guarantees will be provided. In Fu Bi's eyes, Wang Jinghui's financial guarantee is more effective than the promise of the Sansi Envoy. If he wants to make achievements like Han Qi after he withdrew from the core of the empire, he cannot leave the land of the prince-consort.

The idea was made by Zhong Yan. Although Zhong Yan was unruly, he was not a pedantic person. At first, he heard that the Privy Council had strictly selected soldiers to form a special force of about 2,000 people in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. He was also disdainful of this and was not optimistic about the role of the special force. This time, Wuxin led the special force deep into the enemy's rear. He also saw the result of Wuxin leading the special force deep into the enemy's rear. He had a new understanding of the role of the special force in war, and he had a preliminary understanding of him

Only then did he realize that the combat methods of special forces were a bit similar to those of robbers blocking the road, he knew that almost every member of the special forces could use the language of the Dangxiang people and the combat weapons equipped. He was a little shocked. He did not expect that a special forces soldier would have so many requirements. No wonder he could succeed in sneak attacks again and again. At least these special forces were dressed in the Dangxiang people's clothes and were like Dangxiang people. Then he went into the city in batches and then unexpectedly took his home without playing!

This kind of combat method was something Zhong Yan had never thought about before. Later, he learned that in addition to the most basic training and equipment of the special forces, they were all thought of by the prince consort. Even the training instructor of the special forces was also a student of the prince consort. It was Wang Jinghui's eldest disciple who led the special forces to fight on a large scale behind Li Qing. This made Zhong Yan very interested in the prince consort. It was hard for him to imagine that the special forces were actually a famous poet in poetry in the Song Dynasty. He even doubted whether the battle field he had lived on dogs for most of his life.

Just as Fu Bi and Zhong Yan were busy dispatching troops, Li Qing returned to the Jianing Military Office. At this time, the tribal coalition had already broken through the three junctions and approached Qizuomurazawa. Li Qing showed that the enemy had weakened Zuomurazawa's defenders to the Jianing Military Office with a weak force. The tribal coalition troops occupied Zuomurazawa without bloodshed. What was before them was the Jianing Military Office a hundred miles away.

At this time, what else can attract the attention of the coalition forces more than the wealth in the Jianing Military Office? Li Qing was worried that the Jianing Military Office, which had been in charge for two years, was a treasure in the eyes of the coalition forces. Moreover, Li Qing was a Han Chinese. In their eyes, he was a foreign race. In the "orthodox" dispute, Li Qing's neutral behavior had long been unbearable, and it was natural to attack Li Qing.

Facing the aggressive tribal coalition, Li Qing looked very despised. He originally wanted to put these tribes to the end before he could deal with them, but now the coalition's offensive is so fierce that Li Qing has no choice but to defeat these tribal coalitions. The tribal coalition wants to attack Li Qing, so why is Li Qing a good master? Such a fierce offensive by the tribal coalition is undoubtedly the essence of the force in their hands. Li Qing was ruthless - this is what you forced me!

Wuning Fort is focused on defense. Even if you have the opportunity to attack, there is no valuable target except the Jianing Military Office. Even if Hongzhou Village was not burned by Wuxin, it would not be able to defend against Li Qing's army. Therefore, the nearly 15,000 war horses obtained from the raid Li Qing were left with two thousand war horses, which formed a cavalry. All the others were delivered to Yan'an Prefecture for the unified deployment of Fu Bi and Zhong Yan's sneak attack on Yinzhou and Longzhou.

Wang Jinghui didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. Although he had been intensifying the delivery of materials to the fourth route of Shaanxi before the war started, as the current situation developed, it had exceeded his previous expectations. Hebei's bureaucratic capital came to him, so he naturally would not let it go. Although the amount of investment required by Wang Jinghui for the 5 million chunks of investment required by the Hebei government and businessmen was relatively large, the accumulation of hundreds of years of Hebei government and businessmen was a small amount. If such a large amount of funds were handed over to others, it would be a different matter. It was a different matter, not just another. Just look at Hangzhou, the benefits obtained by Chuzhou merchants following Wang Shao in the Xihe area were enough to make them jealous. However, these merchants had the son-in-law behind them, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Since Fu Bi was about to take action, the anti-war and main war factions in the court had undergone great changes. At least the officials of the Hebei Clan put a heavy bet on Wang Jinghui, and the important officials of this faction clearly joined the main war camp. In the traditional politics of the Song Dynasty, northern officials have always controlled the direction of the court's policies. Hebei Clan officials are the most important force. At any time, the political influence of this faction's political tendencies cannot be ignored, even Wang Anshi cannot. Moreover, the slogan of the reforms hosted by Wang Anshi is "change and change". Fu Bi launched a war against Dangxiang in line with this spirit.

While carefully manipulating the direction of the situation, Wang Jinghui was watching the political direction of Biandu coldly. At this time, almost all the eyes of the court were turned to the northwest. Both the reformists and the conservatives temporarily put aside their political infighting. Except for a few anti-war factions, they all devoted their energy to the war in the northwest. After several years of hard work, Wang Jinghui was not a simple person before. He understood the principle of "being with the light" more than anyone else. Whether it is his own political enemies or allies, as long as he can help him get things done, he doesn't mind how this person evaluates in history.

In Wang Jinghui's eyes, such a growing war in the Northwest War was also very beneficial. At least everyone was devoted to it. The officials of the reform faction were for their political propositions, while the Hebei Group and its related forces were mixed with their huge interests. At least 90% of the forces in the court advocated launching wars abroad, which was something that had never been done since the founding of the Song Dynasty. At the beginning, what Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and Emperor Zhao Xu were most worried about was the strength of the state's finances. However, when Wang Jinghui put the five million chunks of Hebei Group officials in front of them, the last concern was gone.

Now that the Song Dynasty wants to launch a war, the cost is no longer the waste of money in the past. Under Wang Jinghui's management, the Song Dynasty has been able to obtain huge benefits from it in recent years, and can even be an important part of the Song Dynasty's finances. What's more important is that whether it is a new type of force or a veteran Hebei force, it can get rich investment returns in the war. The most obvious benefit to the Song Dynasty is that the number of cavalry has doubled the amount in just a few years, which is all due to the results of foreign wars and smuggling trade.

Wang Jinghui once was worried about how to lift the landlords of the Song Dynasty from the land and turn their attention to other places. Although the results achieved now are not very satisfying to him - the landlords of the Song Dynasty focused their attention first on foreign wars and second on new industry and commerce he led, but it was not easy to do this. This was much better than the policy of squeezing land that he had set in advance. Originally, he wanted to rely on his huge financial resources to squeeze out these landlords economically, but it was somewhat ridiculous to achieve the current effect.

In terms of foreign policy, at least Wei Zheng's idea of ​​advising Emperor Taizong of Tang to crack down on the Xiongnu became mainstream, which was something Wang Jinghui was happy to see. The Song Dynasty in this era and the Song Dynasty he knew from history books had undergone fundamental changes. At least it can be foreseen that this kind of court-oriented war thought would continue for a considerable period of time.

Li Qing's method of solving the tribal coalition was decisive and cruel. He put all the coalition forces in and gathered around the Jianing Military Office, but released nearly 60,000 elite cavalry of the Paixi Army outside to conduct an anti-encirclement. The tribal coalition forces attacked the Jianing Military Office for three days like blood flies. After heavy losses, they began to retreat, but Li Qing could not tolerate them to retreat. Sixty thousand cavalrymen carried out a cruel blow to the tribal coalition in the Sanchakou area, and less than 40,000 tribal coalitions were able to retreat to Wanjingkou.

One hundred and fifty miles behind Wanjingkou is Xiazhou. Although it was defeated, what made the tribal coalition happy was that they would be safe as long as they arrived in Xiazhou. However, Li Qing was determined to completely solve these disobedient Dangxiang tribes. He then carried out another ambush at the door of Xiazhou and fought on the vast grassland. This ambush once again confirmed the strength of the Paixi cavalry - in addition to eliminating the last remaining enemies, he almost rushed into Xiazhou.
