Chapter 191 I don't care

"Are you crazy? You're making trouble with military and national affairs. These people are really worth dying!" Xu Ping suddenly threw Xia Shouyun's anti-Qiu Fangluo from the Privy Council onto the table, stood up and walked around the official hall.

Liang Qian, who was on the side, felt strange, picked up the official document and read it, and put it in her hand for a while and said, "Strange, we have reported many times that more than 100,000 thieves gathered in Tiandu Mountain. There are no thieves on the other side. After more than a year of war, how many troops the thieves have should be clear about. Why did Taiwei Xia still attack Baibao City? Tiandu Mountain is approaching Lingzhou, and Baibao City and Jintang City can be taken without a fight. What is the purpose of sending heavy troops to attack? Could it be that they are afraid that Hao thieves will attack the east and west, and suddenly lead troops to Fuyan and Huanqing to attack Fuzhou along the Xiluo River?"

Xu Ping stopped and said to Liang Qian: "Those generals who are sluts are also in the army for many years and are familiar with military affairs. From Tiandu Mountain to Fuyan Road, they have to cross the vast sea. How can tens of thousands of troops secretly pass? Do you think Hao Thief can do magic! Even if he has great skills and brings the army over, we can immediately capture Tiandu Mountain and chase the thieves. Hao Thief dares to do this if he gains and loses! Now that the thieves dare to leave Tiandu Mountain, the entire line will collapse. We can go to Xingqing Prefecture to celebrate the New Year!"

The vast sea is also a dry sea, which is a large desert between Hengshan and the Yellow River. It has to travel hundreds of miles away and hundreds of miles away from the nearest place. It is quite difficult for the army to advance. This desert is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The Song army that had to attack Lingzhou from south to north had to have a difficult road. I was worried that Dangxiang could cross the desert from east to west and was full.

In the battle against Song, Yuan Hao led his standing army from tens of thousands to tens of thousands to tens of thousands to cooperate with the tribal army on the border. The Yin, Xia and other places on the other side of the Fuyan Road were where Dangxiang started, with many tribes and good at fighting, so Yuan Hao's most ideal starting point for attack was there. However, the land in Hengshan area was barren and the grain was not produced much. He took a 100,000 army to stay for a few months and finished the years of stored grain. He could not do this every year. Xu Ping led his troops to Tiandu Mountain, directly threatening Dangxiang. He had to turn the battlefield to the west and confront the Song army with the rich resources in the Tiandu Mountain area.

Opposite Huanqing Road is the core area of ​​Hanhai. The local tribal army can raise food by itself, but the main force of the standing army led by Yuanhao had to transport grain from Xing and Ling prefectures, where the local food could not be supplied. To transport grain from the two prefectures, Dangxiang also had to face the natural geographical obstacle of Hanhai. When the Song Dynasty built a fortress and could not win quickly, Yuanhao did not dare to take the risk of attacking there. Moreover, in history, it was Yanzhou, the most important production area of ​​Dangxiang's green and white salt, and he was also counting on smuggling salt to the Song Dynasty from there, so there was never a major war. Baibao City just broke into the Song Dynasty and blocked Huanqing Road to support Fuyan Road. Now the war is not on Fuyan Road, and there is a waste of money. The situation is clearly there, and Xia Shouyun still insisted on attacking Baibao City, which made Xu Ping feel deeply malicious.

From Hengshan to Maxian Mountain, the land in this area is quite barren. Don’t look at the letter from officials including Xu Ping himself that the land in the river valley is fertile and can be cultivated, but it is not true. It is said that fertile land is only compared with the mountains, but compared with the Central Plains, it is in the sky and underground. The newly occupied Huizhou has a lot of land along the banks of the Yellow River, and all of them have been reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres. However, even if these lands are carefully cultivated, they can only produce less than 100 kilograms of grain a year. The significance of farming is to reduce the transportation of grain from Sichuan and Sichuan, and no matter how small the output is, it is more cost-effective than consumed on the roads of thousands of miles, and it is not really possible to produce much grain.

The mountain at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang cannot support the army at all. Dangxiang relies on Xing and Lingzhou to transport grain for supplementary purposes. In addition, the plundering from the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty relies entirely on transporting grain from other places. If we rely solely on the west of Longshan and the grain produced in Qinzhou, even if we capture Hehuang, we cannot support a 100,000 army. Unless Lanzhou is developed, the land in Longyou can support 40,000 to 50,000 people will be great. Yuan Hao can't grab anything from Xu Ping now, and has been robbed a lot by Sang Yi in the past few months. He struggled to support Tiandu Mountain, waiting to come to Song to grab food in the autumn. At this time, Xia Shouyun took the army to attack Baibao City, which made Xu Ping so angry that he was so angry that he smoked.

Seeing Xu Ping keep paced back and forth in the official hall, Liang Qian said, "Yunxing doesn't need to be anxious. I think Taiwei Xia has his own experience when he attacks Baibao City. We just post a question. Besides, they just proposed the strategy and did not set off. We explained the reason thoroughly, and it may not be impossible to save it. Or, Taiwei Xia insisted on not listening, and we should make arrangements early."

Sighing, Xu Ping said, "We are separated from Jingyuan Road by Longshan. People have no wings and cannot fly over. What arrangement can we do? I can't divide the army into two and garrison the Jingbianzhai to help the Rong army."

Liang Qian's eyes lit up: "Actually, it's not impossible. Send 10,000 or 20,000 troops to Jingbian Village. If there are police in Zhenrong, they will go to Longshan to support it. In this way, the Hao thief was attacked from the enemy from Tiandu Mountain and could not support it, so it seems to be feasible."

Xu Ping shook his head repeatedly: "When the two armies face each other, they will take their momentum first, just like before shooting an arrow. We divide our troops to Jingbianzhai. It is not that Hao thieves are attacking and defending, but that they are easy to attack and defend. Our army gathers in the Yellow River area. As soon as Tiandu Mountain comes, several routes can go straight to Lingzhou. If the two armies separate, they will become slow attacks on Tiandu Mountain and there will be no threat to Lingzhou. For major events, we should not be petty mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If they divide the troops to Jingbianzhai, it seems that they have the best of both worlds, but in fact they are at a disadvantage."

After thinking for a while, he said, "And most of the surrounding areas of Jingbian Village are born. Only Liu Hu is supported by the French people. He can only send him to the place to serve as a garrison. The five armies that have finally been trained will turn back to their former appearance?"

Before Liu Hu was transferred to Qinfeng Road, he was the leader of Jingbian Village. He was a general. His ancestors were both royal hometown and in-laws. He was also a noble person before the Zhenzong Dynasty. When his father Liu Wenzhi was far from his relationship with the royal family, he was also too straightforward and dared to speak out, offend too many people. Although he was good at fighting and had a lot of contributions, he was not very high. Liu Hu was the same as his father, and he was more keen on making achievements, able to fight and win the hearts of the people in the area of ​​Fanluo. If the troops were divided into border villages, Liu Hu must be allowed there, otherwise no one around the Fanluo could comfort him, and he would have a headache at that time. Once this happens, Liu Jianji's army will become the Imperial Army, which Xu Ping cannot allow.

Don’t underestimate Liu Hu. His construction of Shuiluo City in history has caused great debate in the court. In the end, the court had to calm down, because the commander Yin Zhu sent the deputy commander to deploy Di Qing to patrol the border, and almost cut off Liu Hu's head. In the end, he had to transfer Yin Zhu to another place, let Liu Hu stay in Shuiluo City, and then sent Wang Su to take over as the commander of Jingyuan Road to reconcile his relationship with Di Qing. Whether the Shuiluo City was built correctly or not, Liu Hu could do it, and later his descendants were guarding there for the Northern Song Dynasty. The surrounding Fanluo always worshipped Liu Hu and regarded it as a god, so you can imagine the power of the Jingbian camp leader there. Xu Ping wanted to turn his army into a field mobile corps. He was very taboo about this and could not send troops to Jingbian camp again.

Liu Huan and Liu Hu cannot be underestimated. They both inherited Liu Wen's ambition to make achievements on the frontier, and also inherited the stubborn and bold and dared not to offend people. They were very enthusiastic about military merits. Liu Huansheng was eloquent, dared to go to Hehuang alone to recruit servants, Liu Hu was able to fight, and he dared to attack border provocations for military merits, and could defeat people if something happened. If these two people were used well, they would be a big help, and if one was not good, they could cause a huge fuss. Xu Ping tried to let Yuan Hao completely destroy Jingyuan Road, and would not let Liu Hu deal with the foreign affairs again, otherwise he would not be quiet.
