Gao Kan also climbed out of the place step by step, especially in the harsh environment of the South China Sea, how could he not see Li Yanxian's shame and anger, that was anger against Wang Zeren, and he could still stop in normal times? It's a joke.

However, the state affairs are important, he can still distinguish the importance clearly, and he can't anger the two bigwigs of the Southern Servant Army, his voice is a few decibels lowered, and he said softly: "Whether it is the overseas military state or the guard navy, together with the Southern Servant Army, they all serve the imperial court, and they must cooperate sincerely with each other in order to destroy the Jiaozhi Li family, open up the north-south road, let the imperial court go directly overseas, and achieve the great cause of opening up the territory and expanding the territory of the dynasty." ”

"This battle, although it is not as good as fighting alone overseas, but it is also extremely difficult, the Li family is close to Lingnan, and has fought with the Central Plains several times, not compared to Srivijaya and East Java, we still need to be cautious to deal with it."

Li Yanxian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, this is natural, my army's food and grass still need to be taken care of." ”

"This is nature, a grain and grass, herbs, my Guangnan West Road is not ambiguous, and it will definitely live up to the trust of Nanshuai." Gao Kan saw that Li Yanxian was interested, and the sedan chair was carried by everyone, so naturally he couldn't refute the handsome face, of course, it was pleasant.

Wang Zeren saw that Li Yanxian was polite, so he consciously shut his mouth, he didn't want to touch his head and let the two top officials be angry with him.

"Captain, the military report from the front, there is a Jiaozhi army action sixty miles away." The commander Pegasus came, and he didn't have time to jump off the horse and shouted.

"Oh, it seems that they are blocking it layer by layer, and they have set the decisive battle on flat ground." Wang Zeren raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very excited, he was not afraid of fighting without fighting, he was afraid that they would avoid fighting, and playing mountain and jungle warfare with them was simply dying.

It must be said that these days, the Song army is in a hurry, and the Jiaozhi people are in units of hundreds or thousands, relying on mountains and jungles to block the advance of the Song army.

Although all units of the Southern Servant Army have undergone strict mountain and jungle warfare, and half of them are children of various ethnic groups in Lingnan, they still fight very hard, training is one thing, fighting is another, the forbidden army is miserable, and the casualties are quite large.

Especially in the land of smoke miasma, the mountain bow and crossbow battles on both sides caused a large rate of casualties, even greater than the burden of death, and each wounded increased the pressure on logistics.

Fortunately, there are soldiers from various states, these soldiers are all village soldiers in various caves, they have grown up in the mountains and forests and are very familiar with mountain and jungle warfare, and they serve as the vanguard, with sophisticated improved divine arm bows, as well as arrows quenched with banyan venom, only to break through the defense of the Jiaozhi people little by little, push the battle line forward, and force Jiaozhi to fight a decisive battle in the plains.

The three thousand soldiers on the flanks are the pioneers, and I am afraid that they are marching with difficulty, and whether they can catch up with the decisive battle of the main force depends on the will of God. Perhaps, the partial division can arrive at the battlefield in time and defeat the enemy by surprise, or it may not be too late to arrive, and finally the main force will fight hard.

Li Yanxian smiled and said playfully: "What if they set up an ambush? I'm not afraid that he is not prepared, but I am afraid that he is not prepared. ”

Gao Kan, as an overseas minister for ten years, is also a person who comes and goes in the wind and rain, and he can't understand the truth. If they use mountains and rivers to carry out raids, it will be a real headache for the Song army to carry out the massacre.

Li Yanxian and Wang Zeren did not approve of the massacre, at least they could not carry out the massacre of the exterminating clan, so they really shy back when they started fighting.

Since the other party arranges troops and sets up ambushes, it will be much easier to do, the main force of the Song army is a technical army, as long as the armor is complete and the baggage troops keep up, even if it is surrounded, what can it do? The combination of chariots and light baggage vehicles, the coordination of chariots and horses, and the use of strong crossbow and iron shells are enough to break through any siege.

It should be said that I am not afraid that you will come to defend, but I am afraid that you will not come to surround you.

"The annoying adults pressed the formation, urged the transfer of the people, and had to let the township army hold the road." Li Yanxian said politely.

Gao Kan nodded, enjoying Li Yanxian's politeness very much, if according to everyone's background, the other party is the same generation as Wang Xiu, he is obviously a backward, Zhengse said: "Don't worry, Taiwei, I will definitely guard against the sneak attack of thieves, and I will not miss Taiwei's supply." ”

"Okay, then give him a plan." Li Yanxian said coldly.

Gao Kan suddenly fought a cold war, but looking at the cold gaze, seeing that this Nan Shuai who was kind to the mud, I am afraid it is not easy to match, the discipline of the Western Army is better than overseas, even if the other party will not kill too much, there is nothing to do about killing people on the battlefield, why should I say more.

In the south, it was another tragic fierce battle, but it was covered by the enthusiasm of the whole country for the Northern Expedition, and only a few wise people were paying attention to this southern expedition and thinking that the significance of the southern expedition was definitely above the northern expedition.

This is not nonsense, let alone belittling the Northern Expedition, but the pragmatic bureaucrats of the academic school unanimously agreed.

The strong enemy in the north is a scourge of all dynasties, as long as the national strength is strong, it is not difficult to deal with, but it cannot be completely conquered, it can be said that you come and I fight, the Northern Expedition is to regain lost territory, at best, the Jurchens have been wiped out, but they cannot really control the grassland in the short term.

In fact, Wang Xiu already knew the way to really control the grassland, but he couldn't make up his mind to do it, the way of marriage was not what he wanted, how could the dignified Huaxia use his lower body to maintain the relationship? Only after it is firmly established can we advance or retreat, and then seek a solution to the northern and western regions once and for all.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was at its strongest, it did not really conquer the south, and could only implement indirect rule.

The Great Song Dynasty set up 12 overseas military states, and now it should be the 15th military state, as well as the great discovery of Bo Zhang's navigation, so that these scholars who are quick in thinking and influenced by Wang Xiu's thoughts, suddenly their eyes lit up, it turns out that the game can be played like that, hot spots are better than bitter cold, what Wang Xianggong said is very reasonable!

Open up the so-called land bridge, connect the mainland and overseas military states, and the strategic depth of the Great Song Dynasty, which can extend for thousands of miles. What is this concept?

The barbarian peoples in the north, their attacks on the Central Plains, often in winter, hate the hot climate, if you want to say that there is a fight across the river, you want to go deep into the Lingnan and then enter the South China Sea, it is simply boring.

That is to say, as long as the land bridge is opened and the 15th military state in the south is completely stabilized, the Great Song Dynasty will no longer have to worry about destroying the country.

Perhaps, this idea is not absolute, but it is definitely attractive to Middle-earth, which is deeply affected by the scourge of the northern steppes, at least they have some kind of choice, and they will not have no way out.

Liu Renfeng doesn't care too much about overseas, but he is very concerned about this war, in the eyes of the world, Jiaozhi is already a cancer, and it is naturally good to be able to remove it. The pragmatic and bureaucratic arguments of the academic school also made his eyes shine, and he seriously studied the conquest of Jiaozhi, affirmed the importance of opening the land bridge, and determined that although it was not the best way to solve the threat to the north, it was also the last retreat long ago.
