The war has ended, and Xu Ping's commander's tent has been moved to Anyuan Village. This is the most open place in the Sandu River Valley. The village needs to be rebuilt as a gateway to protect the north of Fuqiang Village. Moreover, there are many fertile land around Anyuan Village, and troops must be stationed and settled.

Anyuan village, Gangu city village, and the entire Sandu River are included, and the stakes are combined into villages and households are all registered.

In the tent of the commander, Xu Ping, Wang Kai, Zhong Shiheng, Gan Zhaoji, Wang Gongchen and others lived in the same room, discussing the aftermath of the Battle of Sanduchuan, and preparing to report a memorial to the court.

Although Xu Ping repeatedly abstained from his subordinates to kill indiscriminately, he still killed more than 5,000 people in this battle. Of course, he died at the hands of the Song army, or the Fan Luo army could not investigate it. The people with the highest status of the enemy who were killed in the battle were buried by the rewarders, and their official reports, tokens and other items were sent to the court with the memorial of victory. More than 32,600 people were captured, and this number was still increasing, because there were still those who fled to the surrounding mountains, and the surrounding Fan Luo were occasionally rescued from Qinzhou to receive rewards. Among the prisoners, the highest status was naturally Yu Zang Huama, who would be escorted back to the capital soon after, and would be personally escorted by Zouma to the capital to celebrate the New Year to the court.

Xu Ping abolished the army's merits based on the head, but the number of gains is still the most important item when counting the results. According to different numbers of gains, rewards will be distributed to the army, and the average distribution will be given on command. One person is killed by five stakes and one person is captured by five and a half stakes. In this month, more than 100,000 stakes will be distributed to the soldiers. The commander and commander will calculate the merits separately and are not among the rewards.

The seizure is being counted and the specific number must be listed in the memorial to facilitate the Privy Council to calculate the merits. The most valuable one is more than 20,000 horses, which can be picked out from them to expand the scale of the cavalry.

When the two armies face off, the assault ability of the heavy cavalry is actually not very useful, and there are too many means of restraint. However, when the war begins, the formations of both sides are pulled, and the cavalry can use their ability to move quickly and seize fleeting fighter jets, which is incomparable to infantry. Initiating the cavalry at a critical moment can often determine the outcome of a war. The commander's personal soldiers must also play the role of a reserve team, and using a large amount of cavalry can play a role in surprise victory.

More importantly, once you cross the Yellow River, there will be a large area of ​​grasslands, deserts, and mountains that will rapidly decrease. To control the battlefield in the Great Plains, the military's mobility is crucial, and the status of the cavalry will be highlighted. When fighting Hehuang, the most important thing is to cross the Yellow River and penetrate directly into the heart of Dangxiang. Xu Ping must master a large amount of cavalry mobility in his hands.

Zhong Shiheng and the reward department of the General's Mansion silently calculated the rewards that needed to be paid and said to Xu Ping: "Jing Zheng, after this battle, he will pay more than 400,000 yuan of rewards to the army. I wonder if the court will allocate so much money?"

Xu Ping smiled: "Don't worry, the court will definitely not be stingy with this reward. It will only allocate more and not send less. You don't need to worry about the court's lack of military rewards. I will naturally negotiate with the Secretariat and the Privy Council. What you need to pay special attention to is that Qinzhou suddenly has so much money. If there is insufficient supplies, the prices will inevitably increase, and both the military and civilians will suffer."

Inflation in the border areas is no longer surprising to people in this era. Especially now that the paper money has been changed, Sansi has enough money in his hands and there is no pressure for transportation, so he is particularly generous to the border roads. Because Xu Ping has always strictly controlled the amount of money injected, and the materials produced by Fengxiang Mansion are supported, inflation is not serious, and the other three roads are not good. Because there are not many wars in Jingyuan Road, the inflation is not serious. The prices of the two roads in Fuyan and Huanqing Road are now more than twice that of the pre-war period, and both military and civilians have complained.

Zhong Shiheng thought about it and shook his head: "This is a bit difficult. After all, the money has to be distributed, and there is only so much material. It is inevitable that the price increase will be inevitable. We can suddenly transport more grain from Fengxiang Mansion to ensure that the price of food and clothing in Qinzhou is stable, and the rest will be difficult to guarantee."

Xu Ping said: "Prime Minister, it's winter now. No matter the Han people, they all need cotton coats. I will inform Guo Zi and ask Fengxiang Mansion to produce more cotton coats. This is where Qinzhou. As long as the price of cotton coats is suppressed and the grain price is stable, the others will not rise sharply. Banks also need to use it. Do not find money in rewards, and let the soldiers take it themselves. Once they see that there are signs of price increases in Qinzhou, they will ask the bank to limit the amount of money withdrawals every month. Take a two-pronged approach and try to ensure the stable prices."

Zhong Shiheng said that, it can only be like this now. Where there is no place where prices are soaring? You can only control the scale.

Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen and said, "June, there is one thing I haven't had time to discuss with you. Now let's talk about it. The war in the Sandu River Valley ended. I have ordered Sang Yi to lead Xuanwu army north to advance to Lanzhou in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Since Lanzhou was lost in Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, its old city had been abandoned and it was useless to defend it. Therefore, this time, it only occupied the periphery of Lanzhou and seized its eastern gateway. Sang Yi's army marched from the west to cross the Maxian Mountain and wanted to seize the Kang Ancient City of Dangxiang, Xishi New City and Agan City.

The former Yuzhong County of Han Dynasty built a city and defended. If it goes well, the gates of Lanzhou will be opened and you can occupy it at any time. The Dangxiang army attacked and defended it at the pass. If it occupied, we will advance and attack and retreat. However, the army must ensure that the food and grass are safe. In the next month or two, you must prepare sufficient food and grass to transport it there. Next, the bridge and road army under Lufang temporarily entrusts you to build the road from Qinzhou to Xijun City and then to Yuzhong City in Han. This is an urgent task and cannot be delayed."

Seeing that Wang Gongchen was a little confused, Xu Ping asked Wang Kai to take the map and point it to him one by one.

Since the Qin Dynasty, it has established counties and counties in Lanzhou. For more than a thousand years, it has been a region where the Han Dynasty has repeatedly tug-of-war. The Central Plains dynasty has abandoned or defended, and the place names have been constantly changing. Xu Ping asked the General's Mansion to make it clear about the evolution of the place names. Wang Gongchen had not been exposed to much military affairs before, so of course he was confused for a while.

It was not a whim that every dynasty set up a city. The location selection was related to the situation at that time and the geographical situation. After clarifying the location of these historical place names, we roughly grasp the geographical situation in Lanzhou. Xu Ping must clarify the evolution of place names around Lanzhou, with the purpose of grasping the geographical situation there. Sometimes this is much more useful than a map.

The southeast of Lanzhou is a relatively large valley, and it is also the place where the county was first established in the Qin Dynasty, called Yuzhong. The ancient city of Yuzhong is at the exit from this valley to Lanzhou, between the Yellow River and the mountains, and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is guarded by danger. What Sang Yi wants to occupy is this valley. At the same time, a new city is established on the ruins of Yuzhong's ancient city and guard the gateway to Lanzhou.

With the current troops in Xu Ping's hands, if they directly occupy Lanzhou, they will not be able to defend it. There are several convergences, including the four Hexi counties in the northwest, Miaochuan and Qingtang in the west, and the hinterland of Dangxiang can reach the hinterland of Dangxiang and Huizhou in the east. After occupying, Dangxiang will inevitably concentrate its superior forces to try to retake them. Xu Ping's more than 50,000 troops have to defend the vast area of ​​Qinzhou's hinterland. There are many passes around Lanzhou. After dispersing the troops, they are unable to resist the Dangxiang army's imminent. They have to seize the relatively isolated Yuzhong Valley first, open the door to attack Lanzhou, and wait until the troops are sufficient, and then make progress.

Xu Ping pointed to the map and said to Wang Gongchen: "This winter, you have to open several roads. From Qinzhou to Weizhou during the Tang Dynasty, and then along the Xianhe Valley Road to Xijuncheng, this is one. Go north from Qinzhou, along the Wating River Valley Road, through Guluoyang, Pingxiang to Xijun, this is another one. From Xijuncheng to Yuzhong County in the Qin and Han Dynasties, this is another one. Another one is from Xijuncheng along the Guanchuan River Valley to Huichuan City. Huichuan is the gateway to Huizhou. After Liu Jianji occupied it, he still had to build a city and guard it."

Looking at the map, it was obvious at a glance. Wang Gongchen nodded: "Now Qinzhou has sufficient money and food, and all he lacks is manpower. It is not difficult to open these roads. It is just to ensure that there is no shortage of food and grass. It is best to let Fengxiang Mansion build more big trucks."

"Yes. The Xigu shipbuilding has stopped manufacturing most of the canal ships and has been assigned to mainland prefectures and counties. Now there are sufficient manpower and materials, so it is not difficult to make cars. As for horses, this area is full of mountains and valleys, as long as you have money, it's good!"

The Cangbo City of the Deshun Army in the east was the Eastern Envoy City of the Tang Dynasty's Muslim Supervisor, and the newly occupied Xi'an City of Yuzang Huama, which was connected to the Wei River, which was the Muslim Supervisor who stocked a large number of officials and horses in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the horses of the Tang Dynasty were no longer there, but their bloodlines were scattered among the horses of the foreign tribes. The horses in this area were not only large in number, but also high in quality, which was also the reason why the large number of war horses of the Song Dynasty came from Qinzhou. Now all the horse herdslands have been occupied by Xu Ping, and there is no shortage of horses on Qinfeng Road.

Looking at the map, Xu Ping said to everyone: "The reason why we are so smooth this time is that this winter, the thieves of Dangxiang Hao will invade the area of ​​Fuyan and Linfu Road. Dangxiang claims that the whole people are soldiers, soldiers are people, and people are soldiers. They come when summoned and can fight. Humph, you have been in Qinzhou for nearly a year, so naturally you know that this is just a talk, and you deceive those who don't understand military affairs. The army is dispatched, and there are so many things, how can you play like this? What's more, Dangxiang is the commander of the great tribes, and it's not just about the east, but about the west. They want to

At least it is impossible to turn around this winter. Until the spring of the next year, there is no Dangxiang army opposite us. Unfortunately, our Qinfeng Road is also limited. Opening Lanzhou and Huizhou are already the limit. Going forward, Lanzhou will face Shangzhuoluo and Nanjunjian Office, Huizhou will face Shangxishou Military Office, and the two Military Offices. We have the will but not enough. Therefore, taking advantage of the gap that Dangxiang has no time to look west this winter, Lanzhou will build Yuzhong City and Huizhou will build Huichuan City, preparing to deal with the massive invasion of Dangxiang in the coming year."
