In the general's mansion, Xu Ping looked at the main military officials, Zhong Shiheng and Shi Yannian, two civil officials in front of him, and said: "Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it is a waste. The most fear of being confused and clueless when doing things. What we come to Qinzhou and how to do is to figure out the problem first. If we want to figure out the problem out, we must first figure out what difficulties we face. The Xiang Hao thief in the party rebelled against the Song Dynasty, Qin Feng Road has been unmoved for more than half a year, while the other three routes, especially the Fuyan Road, have killed and plundered the surrounding foreign troops that do not submit to the court, and have made many contributions. In recent months, the court and Shaanxi Road have been dissatisfied with us, believing that even if we want it,

To control the barbarians and show their kindness to the surrounding foreign tribes, they should also let them attack Dangxiang and cooperate with other routes. How can such a thing be done? We first came, and the surrounding foreign tribes were not familiar with each other, especially the places north of the Wei River where Dangxiang was cultivated, and there were many foreign tribes, and the imperial edicts were difficult to reach. It was different now. In the past six months, we have basically figured out the situation of the surrounding foreign tribes and roughly grasped their movements. Just look at the autumn, the horses are fat after the autumn, and the enemy is not in trouble, and entering the border is common. Preventing autumn is a problem that the northern border areas have to face. How to prevent Qinfeng Road? Everyone express their opinions!"

After saying that, he sat down after the case and asked the officials who came to sit down.

After autumn, not only the season when the Fanhu went south, but also the season when the Central Plains attacked northward. Now, the four border routes in Shaanxi are the most active, with the Fuyan Road. The Hengshan area they face is all Dangxiang Qiang, and the situation is more complicated than the west. Of course, Dangxiang Qiang may not necessarily be attached to Yuanhao, and many people are loyal to serving the court. For example, the Zhe family in the Prefectures has been a semi-vassal state since its establishment, and has been guarding the prefectures and prefectures for the whole country. Although they are of the same clan as Dangxiang, they are the most resolute force in the fight against Dangxiang.

When Fan Yong arrived in Yanzhou, he encouraged his subordinates to actively conquer the surrounding foreign tribes, and there were constant small battles. Fan Yong was not stingy with rewards to the soldiers who made meritorious service, because there were many generals and schoolmen who were promoted to their posts. Originally, Xu Ping wanted to transfer Di Qing from Fuyan Road to his place because it seemed that it was easy to make military achievements and was promoted quickly, so Di Qing politely refused.

In a battle, it was common for generals and officers to be promoted to third level and fourth level. Most of them were moved to seventh level and eighth level. During peacetime, there were only ones moved to the first level in the fifth year of Mokan, and the first level in the twenty or thirty years of official road was completed. Military merits were extremely tempting to the generals.

After sitting down, Xu Ping said to Wang Kai: "You can talk about the deployment of Qinfeng Road, especially Qinzhou's autumn prevention."

Wang Kai stood up and crossed his hands to respond, walked to the map, and said, "The key to preventing autumn on Qinfeng Road is Qinzhou. Although there are foreign desolations around Longzhou, they are all weak. We will not talk about it today and we will talk about it later."

"Qinzhou is mainly used to prevent autumn in three directions. The north side of the army is defending Dangxiang. If Dangxiang traps Zhenrong Army, they will either go along the valley road to Weizhou and threaten Guanzhong; or follow the Good River Valley Road to the Wating River Valley Road to attack Qinzhou. Zhenrong Army is the enemy's front, and if an accident occurs, the south side of the Langgan City will be the Weizhou road, and the southwest of the Jingbian Village will be the Qinzhou road. The general's mansion has moved Wenweizhou to let them be more prepared for these two places. The Wendeshun Army's chief garrison Liu Jianji and Quanjing's border leader Liu Hu, let them report the enemy situation to Qinzhou every five days after September. The north side of the army is the Deshun Army, and we will move again according to their border situation."

In mountain warfare, river valleys have special strategic value, and the northwest is more important than the southwest. In the northwest region where mountains and rivers are broken, river valleys are almost the only wide and flat roads, and large army marchs must follow the valley roads. Although Dangxiang does not rely on waterways to transport grain, because agriculture and population are concentrated in the valley areas, their looting is mainly carried out along the river valleys.

Controlling Sichuan Valley is the core of mountain combat that military geography has repeatedly emphasized, and its importance is higher than that of passes, so building forts in key places in Sichuan Valley is the most important defense method. The forts on Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road are basically built along Sichuan Valley, one is to control grain and population, and the other is to guard the key roads. There are three most important forts on the northern part of Qinzhou that guard the Sichuan Valley Road, one is the Deshun Army, namely the Luanggang City, the second is the Jingbian Village, and the third is the Shuiluo City connecting Qinzhou and Weizhou Road.

Shuiluo City is not under the control of the court, but is a region where the livestock is active, and there is no way to control it. Liu Jianji, the chief general of Luanggan City, Weizhou Damen Luanggan City, is the younger brother of Liu Ping, the chief general of Fuyan Road and Huanqing Road. The chief general who guards the Jingbian Village of Qinzhou is Liu Huan's younger brother Liu Hu, both of whom entered the official position because of his kindness. Liu Hu was born in the general and entered the official position like Liu Huan. His official position was the right attendant and was in charge of the Wating Village in Weizhou, so he was appointed as the master of Jingbian Village. Wating Village is the ancient Xiaoguan, but because now there is Zhenrong Army, it is no longer the front line, so Liu Hu, who has a general, was sent to Jingbian Village.

Xu Ping signaled Wang Kai to stop first and said, "Last month, Liu Hu moved to General Wen's Mansion and said that the foreign troops near Shuiluo City were willing to accept the qualities and submit. If this matter was done, you could build a big city there. Shuiluo City controlled the surrounding foreign troops, and the road from Qinzhou to Weizhou would be unobstructed. If there was any problem, the two states could help each other. Gao Daquan, Guiming Shenwu Army must be prepared. Once Liu Hu went to Shuiluo to build a city, you must go forward to support it. You must not miss the military opportunity at that time!"

Gao Daquan stood up and crossed his hands to promise. His army was stationed in Qingshui County, closest to the area of ​​Shuiluo City.

After the order, Wang Kai continued to talk about other directions: "The other route to prevent autumn in Qinzhou is northwest. As far as the general's mansion knows, this is the most likely road to happen this year. Yu Zanghuama, a large family of the foreign tribes of Lanzhou and Huizhou, was tempted by Dangxiang and married the daughter of Haozi. Now they are the minions of Haozi. In the past few years, they made a lot of profits by selling Dangxiang's green and white salt to Longyou. Sansipu now sells fine salt at a low price, which cuts off their wealth path and must be dissatisfied. The forts in the western Qinzhou are mostly built along the Wei River, and the north of the river are mostly born in the Qianfan.

If Yu Zang Huama invaded, he would inevitably come along the Sanduchuan River in Zhegu, Dagu and Gangu, and invade Fuqiang Village. The whole journey was full of foreign countries, and the imperial government was not in line with the government orders, which was more difficult than the other roads. According to the strategy of Jieshuama, the Jiyisi should pay close attention to the foreign affairs along the way and use static control. If Yu Zang Huama invaded, he would strive to completely annihilate his Sanduchuan River and pacify Hebei in one fell swoop! This road is the key to Qinzhou's prevention of autumn this year. We will discuss the specific strategy in detail later, and we will only talk about it roughly now."

"The last way is to the west, ancient Weizhou. There are many familiar households there, and the imperial court built many forts, which are not very dangerous compared to the northwest. If something happens, it may be in two directions. One is that there are many salt ponds there, which are all under the control of Qingtang Qiang and Shangding tribes. We sell fine salt, and they are also affected. However, the leaders of these two tribes have found the General's Mansion, and Sansipuzi has promised to buy their salt, so they should not betray them. Another Yu Zang Huama may not directly invade Qinzhou, but go directly to the Xianhe Valley Road from the west to attack the ancient land, and then go east along the Weihe Valley Road to invade Qinzhou. There are many fortresses on Ningyuan, Luomen and Yongning along the way. Although the road can be walked, most of them are familiar households under the court, and they are sent to guard it. If the Tibetan Huama comes from this direction, it is just the place where the Xuanwei army is stationed. I think he will not be so arrogant."

Xu Ping said: "As long as Yu Zanghuama is not a pig brain, he will not come from the West Road, otherwise he will hit the iron plate. The West Road mainly pays close attention to the various foreign troops, especially the foreign troops with salt ponds. Although they have collected their salt, no one will be dissatisfied and take the opportunity to cause trouble. The main energy of military defense in the autumn is still to be on the northwest road, in the Sanduchuan Valley. In addition, Qingjichuan connects Sanduchuan and Watingchuan Valley Road, and also to prevent the thieves from not leaving Sanduchuan, but to move into Watingchuan from there. The medicine family in Qingjichuan has recently taken refuge in quality and surrendered, and it is very respectful. It is not very dangerous to think that it is not very dangerous. However, when fighting, you must be with me and you cannot be lucky. Therefore, the foreign troops in Qingjichuan area, Jiyishu, must send capable personnel to collect intelligence there and pay close attention to the foreign feelings there. Whenever there is any abnormal movement, report to the General's Mansion immediately."
