"Come in the Xuanguan's house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The Queen Mother commanded outside the door.

Pang Ji continued to look at the map in front of him, his palms sweating slightly.

Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, the forbearance of the officials of the three dynasties, the recuperation of the three generations, and the obscurity of Taoguang, so far, can you finally think about the sixteen states of Youyun?

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

The Queen Mother asked him.

"The domain of the Hetao has to be taken. ”

Pang Ji opened his mouth and replied.

"I want to hear about it. ”

"The Yellow River is harmful, but only rich. Saiwai rice grain river, since ancient times is known for the abundance of water and grass, suitable for planting millet and wheat. The Yangtze River basin is rich in rice. However, if the fertile soil of the two river basins of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, when the northern dryland harvest fails, the southern waterland can be supplemented; on the contrary, if the southern waterland fails to harvest, the northern dryland crops can also be supplemented. Regardless of the flood and drought every year, the people's food is guaranteed, and the country will continue for thousands of years, which is not difficult. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head slightly behind the screen and asked, "How to take it?"

Pang Ji lowered his head and frowned, and after a moment, he replied: "The Great Song Dynasty is surrounded by wolves and tigers, and if you are not careful, you will never recover, so you have to slowly figure it out." ”

"How Xu Tu?"

Pang Ji took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the map, crossed the Yunzhou and Youzhou that he was thinking about, and couldn't help but gasp.

After thinking for a while, he tapped his fingertips twice in the territory of Western Xia, and replied: "Xiazhou, Xingqing Mansion." ”

- "The official has arrived." ”

Before Pang Ji finished speaking, he heard the eunuch outside the door.

The Queen Mother said: "Prime Minister, why don't you listen to what the official family has to say?"

Between the words, the official family also came to the palace, and the queen mother asked him: "The official family, the prime minister said that Xia Prefecture and Xingqing Mansion were first mapped, what do you think?"

What made Pang Ji feel strange was that the official family also seemed to see this map for the first time, and he frowned in a little surprise, so he didn't say a word, observed carefully, pursed his thin lips, and thought to himself.

After about a cup of tea, he seemed to have figured out what joints, his brows gradually relaxed, but his eyes became sharp.

"Does the prime minister want to map Xixia first, and then take the sixteen states?"

The official asked.

Pang Ji nodded: "The Liao State has a vast territory, and the soldiers are strong and strong, it is difficult to fight quickly, if the war falls into a stalemate, I am afraid that the Western Xia will take the opportunity to make difficulties, it is better to occupy Xiazhou and Xingqing Mansion first, and then try to set the back and the front set......"

He replied unequivocally, not thinking that the official family would have any other way.

Unexpectedly, the official asked in a cold voice: "The prime minister is afraid that when the war with the Liao State starts, the Western Xia will take the opportunity to attack, so why is he not afraid that when the war with the Western Xia starts, the Liao State will take the opportunity to attack?"

Pang Ji was suffocated and said: "A battle with Western Xia can be resolved quickly." ”

The official pointed to Yunzhou and said in a deep voice: "As long as the Liao State continuously transports grain, grass, and war horses from Xijing Road to Xixia, there will be no reason for a quick battle and a quick resolution in this war. ”

Pang Ji was silent for a long time, and said: "Once it is launched with the Liao State, the alliance of the Yuanyuan will no longer be restored. ”

"The prime minister was confused. ”

"What do you mean by what the official family says?"

"Since the twentieth year of Chunzhao, when the Liao State invaded and occupied Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion for no reason, a total of five prefectures and thirteen counties, the Lanyuan Alliance ceased to exist. ”

There is no room for refutation.

Pang Ji's heart sank, and he felt ashamed.

Since Chunzhao recovered the thirteen counties of Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion in the 22nd year, the Great Song Dynasty still provided Liao with 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year for the "expenses of helping the army" to be delivered to Xiongzhou.

The two countries are still setting up a border market to carry out mutual trade.

The alliance of the abyss does not seem to have changed in the slightest.

It's business as usual.

But as the official said, from the moment when the Liao State entered the Great Song Kingdom for no reason, the alliance had been unilaterally torn up by the Liao State.

Looking back, Pang Ji realized that he chose to map Xixia first, more because he was afraid of Liao.

"The prime minister was afraid of a head-on conflict with the Liao State, but he never thought that once he sent troops to Western Xia, in the eyes of the Liao State, how different would it be from sending troops to the Liao State?"

Pang Ji sighed and said convincingly: "It's the old minister who is confused, and he is willing to hear the official's plan." ”

The official put his eyes back on the map, folded his left hand on his chest, placed his right elbow on it, held his cheek, and said heavily for a long time: "Youzhou." ”

"Youzhou?"

Pang Ji was incredulous.

There are five capitals in Liao, of which Linhuang Mansion in Zhongshangjing is the capital, and the other four capitals are the accompanying capitals, namely: Xijing Datong Mansion, that is, Yunzhou, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, and Nanjing Youdu Mansion, which was later renamed Xijin Mansion, that is, Youzhou in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Youzhou has been the most important military town in the south of Liao since ancient times, and it is also the transportation center and commercial city connecting the south and northeast of Liao.

The defense there is so tight, you can imagine it.

"Attacking Youzhou, defending Xiazhou, and then drawing Yunzhou, the plan is waiting. Since it's all about tearing your face, you might as well have some fun. ”

The official smiled slightly.

Pang Ji said worriedly: "The Liao State has been running Youzhou for many years, and there are heavy troops stationed in nearby Laizhou and Jinzhou, even if it is captured for a while, it will be difficult to defend it in the future." ”

"Probably not. ”

"Does the official family have a queen?"

The official folded his hands, calmed down, and said leisurely: "Move the capital to Youzhou." ”

"Move the capital to Youzhou......? What about Bianjing?"

Pang Ji didn't expect the official family to have such an idea, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

The official nodded and said: "Although Bianliang is important in the world, the number of boats and vehicles, the throat of the river Shuo, and the transportation of Jinghu Lake, there is a big disadvantage - there is no danger of mountains and rivers, which is not conducive to defending, and it has been a place of four wars since ancient times. Even if Taizu built a triple city wall, the city was high and the pool was deep, but there was no danger to win, so he had to defend the inside and outside, which would sooner or later lead to the exhaustion of the people's strength. ”

That's true.

In contrast, although Youzhou is difficult to attack, it is easy to defend.

But......

"Since ancient times, how can there be a reason to choose the capital above the border?"

"Prime Minister, it's not the border of the Great Song Dynasty, far from it. ”

Pang Ji was stunned.

It's not because of the words of the officials.

It's because he suddenly found that he was content with the status quo and settled here.

Even if it's just on paper, I don't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Even he is like this, let alone the Chinese military and the common people.

Sunlight shines through the hollowed-out windows into the Wende Hall.

In the "BRICS" screen, the mottled shadow is released.

It also projected beautiful patterns on Pang's crimson official uniform.

He stared at the point of Youzhou on the map in a daze, if he took Youzhou, Yunzhou would not be difficult.

As long as the two states of Yu and Yun are firmly held in their hands, the Liao State and Western Xia are not afraid.

The official also walked to the map, drew a line to the place where the Liao State went to Beijing, and said, "The border, at least here." ”

After a pause, he drew another line near Mohe and Chita: "When my son succeeds to the throne, the border will come here." ”

"Liao's Chazara Division?"

The official smiled: "It's the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate!

Pang Ji stared at the place on the map.

Yes, this was once their territory.

Whether it is Liao, Western Xia, or even Dali and Hui, these ...... These were all once the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
