"This time, there are some small tribes such as Qiyan and Kereh, who take advantage of the fire to loot and constantly harass the army, which has a very negative impact. The defeat of the fifth brother Gao is also related to them, and he took the opportunity to plunder the land of Henan, and almost broke the city of Wurahai, this kind of uncivilized barbarian tribe is by no means the grace of Lord Lang can be civilized. ”

"Long-term laissez-faire can only make them grow bigger and threaten the border land of Dajin, for the sake of today's plan, we can only levy every two or three years to reduce their strong men and weaken their plundering of the border land."

Wushu's eyes lit up, he couldn't stop nodding, and said in surprise: "Yes, very insightful, I will play it for Lord Lang today, I believe it will be adopted." ”

Zhang Qiyuan smiled indifferently and regained his former calm and composure, but how did he know that in another time and space, there would also be this kind of Ding reduction policy, but he defected to the Jurchens and advanced this policy by more than 20 years.

At the end of the day, the policy of reducing the number of soldiers on the grassland was not what he envisioned, but Wang Xiu's proposition, and he used to be the privy councillor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he also had the authority to read certain military officials, and he was very clear about some of Wang Xiu's strategic propositions.

Wang Xiu's policy towards the grassland is not only to co-opt, but also to gradually encroach and reduce the population, to put it bluntly, it is killing and assimilation, and gradually bringing the grassland into the scope of Chinese civilization, which is not the most secret, and he also has the opportunity to see it.

The right time was fully utilized by him, but he just threw away the assimilation policy and focused on killing and reducing Ding, which was completely undisguised **naked killing, but he didn't understand his plan, which was completely contrary to Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu's plan is a two-pronged approach, to win over the division and secretly eliminate, it belongs to the boiled frog in warm water, but his plan is not to win over, only killing, which is easy to provoke a strong backlash from the other party, not only the strong bridging force of history, but also for other reasons, the policy of reducing Ding is still savagely launched by the Jurchens.

"By the way, what do you think of Hexi?" Wushu still cares about Hexi, which is related to whether the Great Song Dynasty can be contained, if the Jin army is driven out of Hexi, then the fun will be great, and he can't help but be interested.

"Lang Jun rest assured, the Southern Dynasty has just destroyed the famous family, and when they need to stabilize it, they will never dare to completely tear their faces, even if they start a war in Hexi, it will be limited to a corner."

Zhang Qiyuan sank a little, and said: "Now, the beggar and Kelie people are newly defeated, they not only want to enjoy the spoils of war, but also to hibernate and recuperate, and there is the sweep of the Ali Metropolitan Eunuch, as long as we occupy Wurahai City, we can guarantee the supply of the Right Metropolitan Eunuch Langjun." ”

"How is it good to increase the number of troops in the Southern Dynasty?" Wushu is worried, there are not many elites in the Jin army, even if they occupy Wurahai City, they can't fully protect their baggage, and they can't give real and effective reinforcements, and the living girl is relatively alone. As long as the Great Song Dynasty is adding a camp, I am afraid that the situation in Hexi will be broken.

It's really a problem, Zhang Qiyuan also understands the significance of the 40,000 Jurchen horse army, and it is impossible for Hera to keep 40,000 people in Hexi for a long time, which will have a great impact on the situation between the north and the south, and the main force of the Jin army fell into an embarrassing situation of being unable to cope, and said slowly: "Hexi is very important, once it falls into the hands of the Southern Dynasty, they will be able to form a strong horse army within ten years, and our advantage will gradually be lost." ”

Wushu bowed his head silently, he did not deny Zhang Qiyuan's words, which was also what he was worried about, and said: "It is inevitable, you can only fight a battle." ”

"Lang Jun, do you want to restart the war between the north and the south?" Zhang Qiyuan's eyes flashed with contempt, but his face was particularly solemn.

"If, as a last resort." Wushu regretted it a little, the best time had been missed, the Great Song Xingchao could free up his hands, and the Jin army had a smaller chance of winning.

If it is said that when the Western Servant Army attacked Xia, the Jin Army launched a southern expedition at Dahe, and it was possible to contain the Jin Army's attack by joining forces with the Song Army's Northern Servant Army and the Dianqian Division, then after the Xia War ended, the Northern Servant Army and the Western Servant Army joined forces, and it was possible to defeat the Jin Army.

"Lang Jun, the current shape is certainly not good for Dajin, and the Southern Dynasty does not dare to act rashly. The living girl Jun has Suzhou and Guazhou in Hexi, and the Southern Dynasty has no strength to seize it in the short term, even if they increase their troops, they must take into account Langjun's prestige and dare not advance excessively. ”

"Now, we should adopt a two-handed policy on the grassland, divide and co-opt, and let the grassland be used by me, and the living female capital prison does not have to rely entirely on the army of the own clan, but can form a large army with local people to consume the strength of the Southern Dynasty, perhaps attack the Shazhou ......"

said a lot, in fact, it is not a high-level move, and it is not Wang Xiu's so-called wooing, it is completely naked and standing in line, which is fundamentally different from the national attraction and slow assimilation. Zhang Qiyuan also understood in his heart that on the issue of Xia, the Jurchens had failed, and the only thing that could be taken out to talk about it was to control Wurahaicheng, Suzhou, and Guazhou, and connect them into a military pressure line, so that the Jin army had the ability to compete for the initiative.

Those who know a little about military affairs understand that the Jin army was defeated in Hexi, Ganzhou changed hands, and the initiative in Hexi has been seized by the Song army.

How do you not know about the art of vultures, and recruit locals to fight? It's not easy to talk about, just a group of black and united people, just take those Han troops as an example, it's okay to fight a good battle, if you lose the battle, I'm afraid it's faster than a rabbit, and it's not as good as the elite soldiers.

However, he couldn't retreat, gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, Suzhou must not be discarded, if necessary, increase troops, I will talk about Lord Lang." ”

Zhang Qiyuan glanced at the vultures faintly, felt the courage of the other party, and said: "Lang Jun, in the battle between the north and the south, Dajin has already lost the first move, so let's go toe-for-tat strategically." ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Wushu was quite interested, and his eyes stared directly at Zhang Qiyuan.

The situation in the northwest was basically finalized, and Wushu did not provoke a major war between the north and the south, but ordered the Jin army to hold on to Wurahai City and control the entire northern part of Henan, which was equivalent to controlling the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro to ensure the retreat of the living girl.

Xiao Heda didn't push too much, his slogans were shouted very loudly, but in his heart he was like Mingjing, the rule of the Khitan had long ended, and in the face of the powerful Jurchens, even the Great Song Dynasty had no way to do it for the time being, so don't talk about him.

Now, whether you want to lie down and taste your courage, or you are willing to be a submissive minister, the best way is to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, he withdrew the forward troops, and the main force was stationed in Hue Du, as if he became a border general of the Great Song Dynasty, forming a confrontation with the Jin army.

Also, even the Khitan Emperor envied the prosperity of the Central Plains, and was willing to be a Chinese in the next life, not to mention him, who could guard the border for the Great Song Dynasty, and people could still lose him? It won't be a few years before you will return to the line and enjoy the wine and beauty.

The situation in Hexi, with the Song army's recovery of Ganzhou, seemed to have become much calmer, and there were no more large-scale battles, replaced by small horse team clashes.
