North, the city of Wurahai

The Jin army invested more than 20,000 troops, which were unified and controlled by Gao Sheng, monitoring the steppe barbarians in the north and stabilizing various strategic points.

After inspecting various key points, Zhang Qiyuan returned to Wurahai City, but he asked Gao Sheng's department to seize the grain city as appropriate.

Gao Sheng was not interested in the Grain City, let alone directly with the Song Army, so he said casually: "There is the control area of the Southern Dynasty, let's rush to grab it, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"What trouble can there be, I don't think Wang Dalang has the courage to fight again." Zhang Qiyuan didn't care, the Song army fought against the Jin army in Hexi, but it did not mean that they fought in Lingxia, this is not a question of whether to fight or not, but a strategic principle.

If the main force of the Song army confronts the Jin army, it is likely to evolve into a large-scale war, involving the whole of Shaanxi, and then the five roads along the river, which will be out of control, which will be contrary to the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Gao Sheng was a little dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing in the grain city?" It's too deep there, and we can't hold it even if we take it. ”

Zhang Qiyuan raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "Do you think that Wei Mingren and filial piety will sit back and wait to die, or live in the house given to him by Zhao Guan's family?" ”

Gao Sheng shook his head, knowing that Zhang Qiyuan had calculations, this guy was a layman when he marched and fought, but he was a first-class master at engaging in intrigues and tricks, and sneered: "If you have something to say, don't grind." ”

Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Gao Sheng, his eyes were particularly complicated, and he sighed: "Fifth brother, you and I are both fellow villagers, and we serve as the Son of Dajin, there is no need to raise eyebrows, it is better to support each other." ”

"I'm a rough man in the military, straight to the point, and I don't know how to play tricks." Gao Sheng said lightly, directly rejecting Zhang Qiyuan's set.

Zhang Qiyuan pursed his lips, and he didn't grind, and said with a smile: "There is still one way for Wei Mingren and filial piety, that is, to seize the grain city, cross the Helan Mountain passage to the north, and go to Shazhou along the grassland and next door, as long as he is unwilling, he will definitely do it." ”

Gao Sheng's pupils shrank, and his face became stern, he was not very interested in Zhang Qiyuan, but he couldn't help but admit that this guy was insidious, since Li Renxiao might go north to seize the road to the west, it might cause a series of consequences, and he couldn't help but be cautious.

After all, the living girl is fighting with Shao Xing in Hexi, and if she joins Li Renxiao, I am afraid that it will make the form more complicated, so she can't help but ask seriously: "What do you think should be done?" ”

"Of course it's a strange commodity." Zhang Qiyuan raised his eyebrows and said leisurely.

"But the phoenix that will lose hair, what do you want him to do?" Gao Sheng is not interested in Li Renxiao, as long as the party members dare to enter his control area, then wipe it out, in the Song army's control area, there is no need for him to take risks.

"Fifth brother, I'm not talking about you, you are really too far behind Da Lang, if you don't want to die under his knife, you have to look farther." Zhang Qiyuan smiled hehehe, and unceremoniously pointed at Gao Sheng's sore spot.

Gao Sheng frowned, stared at Zhang Qiyuan with unkind eyes, and said sharply: "Second Brother Zhang, you speak carefully, don't you be a bachelor, and be valued by Lang Jun, I won't dare to touch you, this is in the army, anything can happen." ”

**The naked threat, the killing machine is undisguised, but Zhang Qiyuan doesn't care, he is not frightened, and sneers indifferently: "No one wants to hear the truth, but I have to say it, it's also for you, fifth brother." ”

"Hmph." Gao Sheng smiled coldly and didn't care.

Zhang Qiyuan didn't care about Gao Sheng's attitude, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Wei Mingren and filial piety are good chess pieces, if you can control him in your hands, it may be of great use." ”

Gao Sheng was stunned, as a leading general, he is also experienced, it is not difficult to hear Zhang Qiyuan's meaning, it is nothing more than using Li Renxiao as a bargaining chip to seek greater interests, at least it can disrupt Wang Xiu's strategy and delay the time for the north-south break.

There will inevitably be a war between the north and the south, and this is something that everyone understands, and the key lies in what kind of strategic posture the decisive battle will be.

If the Great Song Dynasty delayed for too long, lost its spirit, or failed in the Northern Expedition, then the pattern of division between the north and the south would really take shape, so that the Great Song Dynasty would get a favorable strategic development space, even if the Jin army repeatedly went south, it would be useless.

"Fifth brother, you have to prepare for life, I am sixty percent sure, and I will definitely leave Wei Mingren and filial piety." Zhang Qiyuan's eyes flickered, and his tone was a little excited.

Gao Sheng glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said lightly: "You need Lang Jun's consent." ”

"I believe that Lang Jun will agree, and even Sali will agree to Lang Jun, there is nothing more tempting than grasping Wei Mingren and filial piety in his hands. Now, the biggest obstacle is those steppe tribes, I'm afraid they will intervene. Zhang Qiyuan was not worried that his idea would not be adopted, for the Jurchens, it was definitely a good opportunity to blackmail the Great Song Dynasty, and they would never refuse the temptation.

Similarly, Gao Sheng was also a little excited, this was a good opportunity to capture the Great Xia monarch and make another meritorious contribution for himself. I have to say that he found a crisis, or his own survival crisis, as a Han, he became the commander of the Meng'an Mouke army, which caused the dissatisfaction of many Jurchen nobles, even if the Wushu still trusted him, but he couldn't let go of the cold arrow.

Once something happens, I'm afraid that even the vultures won't be able to save him, and he can't help but put a halo of meritorious service on himself and protect himself, he is moved.

"Fifth brother, if you don't want to seize the Grain City, I'm afraid that the Southern Dynasty doesn't know your and me's determination, and there may be right and wrong." Zhang Qiyuan patiently induced, he didn't think that Gao Sheng was his opponent, but he had to use the opponent's forces to keep a gentle low profile.

"In case Xu Huiyan fights back, what should I do?" Gao Sheng asked rhetorically, this is not impossible, the Song army has a camp in the provincial Weicheng, and it has an advantage over the Jin army.

The corners of Zhang Qiyuan's mouth turned up, his purpose is half the success, as long as he is promoted, it is more effective than vultures and salination and strong orders, and the county officials are not as good as the current management! smiled slowly: "It's okay, even if Xu Huiyan fights back, it will be limited, and it will never be possible to start a full-scale war with you, which Wang Dalang will never tolerate." ”

Gao Sheng glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, full of sincere smiles, he fell into hesitation again, and the prospect lured him to continue to lean towards Zhang Qiyuan.

"I can't think about it anymore, time is running out, the fighter plane is fleeting, we must immediately gather troops and horses to go south." Zhang Qiyuan saw that Gao Sheng was moved, and lost no time in urging.

"I only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 10,000 elite people, but Xu Huiyan has an army of 70,000 or 80,000.

Gao Sheng's grasp of Han Chang is precise, so as to tell what you can expect, how can the generals of the Great Song Dynasty not see it.

"It's okay, there are not many noble soldiers, we can go to support Wei Mingren and filial piety." Zhang Qiyuan didn't care about authenticity.

"Oh, good way." Gao Sheng's eyes lit up, and then he was deeply disdainful.
