Wang Xiu saw that Feng Yuan accepted it humbly, and he was satisfied, he was right, more because he liked the atmosphere of the fragrant bathhouse, and said with a smile: "Go, wash and wash." ”

This fragrant bathhouse is quite clean, Feng Yuan naturally played the role of helper, Wang Xiu is not careful, but he can't be careless, he ordered the shopkeeper to ask for a single room, and gave enough coins, invited a group of guests to leave, and no longer open for business.

Although the shopkeeper was surprised and seemed a little embarrassed, he was shaken by the temptation of a piece of gold, which is money that cannot be earned in a few days! Moreover, Feng Yuan's flickering murderous gaze, as well as standard official words, made him think that even a person was not simple, and he should be an official of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now, it is the Song army that occupies the city, and it is still kind to life, but if he offends the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, he doesn't even know how to die. Since you want to live with a snort, you can hold your nose and admit it.

Wang Xiu was full of interest, took a bath happily, wrapped in a clean fine linen wide coat, and went to the outer room to rest, the little servant served tea, laughed and flattered: "Two big officials, do you want to call a few little ladies to knock on the body?" ”

The corners of Feng Yuan's mouth twitched, is this still a war? It seems that they are not affected at all!

Wang Xiu is full of interest, and his feelings are that even Far Evil Junzhou has a service industry! I couldn't help asking: "Little brother, it seems that the imperial army is coming, but you are not afraid?" ”

"Seeing that the big officials are also decent people in the imperial court, the small ones dare to say something, we are also the Han family, and the imperial court has recovered the homeland, so we can't attack the subjects of the Son of Heaven, right? Besides, the imperial army is stationed here, and it is much better to treat us than to be party members, at least we are not inferior people, and we have given everyone a rice pot. ”

"Oh, it seems that the imperial army is down, which is still a good thing." Wang Xiu smiled, he knew that the little guy was referring to the recruitment of people in the army and gave the people a way to live, it seemed that the army was doing the right thing.

"Of course, the black man next door to me was a burden to the captive army, and he was so poor that he couldn't even marry a lady, and he was bullied by the party members and the Uighurs. When the imperial army came, he went to the Jiazhan Treasury to ask for an errand, and yesterday he actually cut two catties of meat and sold a few dimes of wine. ”

"What kind of errand can he ask for as an injured person, don't bluff me." Wang Xiu didn't believe it a little, how could the injured people on the battlefield go to the armor warehouse to carry them, it was a joke.

"The big official, the little one didn't laugh, the black man had a broken arm, but the people still had the strength, fortunately, the first officer took pity on him and let him be responsible for counting the foreign transportation." Seeing that Wang Xiu didn't believe it, the little guy was a little anxious.

Wang Xiu understood, it seems that the lieutenant colonel of the army is merciful and allows the disabled to have a bowl of rice to eat, which also proves from the side that the Song army is tense and cannot but requisition a large number of locals, as long as there is a little ability, the Han people are naturally the best choice.

"Okay, don't let others loosen your shins, you go down!" Feng Yuan didn't want to have an accident, so he resolutely retreated.

The little guy was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to offend them, so he had to retreat stupidly.

Wang Xiu glanced at Feng Yuan and said playfully: "You are too cautious, this is not good." ”

"Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, let's not say that Mr. is safe, call the little lady to come up, and it will not be good for Mr. to pass it out." Feng Yuan said honestly.

Wang Xiu nodded, the official banquet is accompanied by female music, these are all public, no one has made irresponsible remarks, and everyone has enjoyed it.

If you let the little lady knock on her back and pinch her feet in the fragrant bath hall in the occupied area, it will be used to talk about things, it will not sound good after all, Feng Yuan thinks about things very thoroughly, at least all aspects can be taken care of.

"Okay, that's just a bit of, how do you think about the difficult war?"

"Sir, a breakthrough in the middle is an inevitable choice, presumably Mr. is also thoughtful, but why is Mr. sure that the captives will coerce the tribes of the grassland, and Shengqiang will rest assured that the horse army will be transferred south." Feng Yuan still has this question, the riverside area of Henan is the granary and horse grazing area of Xia, in case it is brought in by the grassland barbarians, the loss is not something that anyone can bear.

Wang Xiu didn't care about Feng Yuan's questioning, you can question it arbitrarily before the war, as long as you conscientiously implement the military order during the war, Feng Yuan has this question, which shows that he is cautious and comprehensive in considering things, and he said slowly: "If you are a vulture, what will happen?" ”

Feng Yuan pondered for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "The best way to avoid direct conflict and obtain the greatest benefits is to release the soldiers and horses in the north of Shengqiang." ”

"That's right, choose the middle lane to break through, whether it is indirect or direct capture, we can let the east road deal with it, and you and the fifth and sixth battalions have their own responsibilities." Wang Xiu proposed a breakthrough strategy in the middle of the road, which has many benefits and is also the most prudent way.

The Jin army went directly south, then the fifth and sixth battalions were the core of the confrontation, and the Xia army's northern three armies supervised the military division to the south, then the northwest camp was used to confront, and the two major battalions continued to clear and suppress the difficult states, and the key to the strategy was the use of the horse army and the thirty-mile joint camp, which not only guaranteed the attack of the main infantry army on Xiping Fu, but also shook the Yanzhou defense line.

Whether it is the Xia army going south or the Jin army going south, the surprise attack in the direction of Yanzhou is the key to the success or failure of this war. This is a three-way fight, endurance and wisdom, Wang Xiu's killer move is multi-purpose, and the move costs people's lives.

It can even be said that whether the entire Northwest War can successfully attack Yanzhou is a turning point.

"Do your best to solve the party and develop our horse team." The mere party members are not in his eyes, and even the Jurchens are not considered dishes, he has a more ambitious goal.

Feng Yuan looked at Wang Xiu very naturally, he thought that the next goal to solve the party was the Jurchens, and he could leave a name in history under Mr. Think about it, the spectacular sight of 100,000 iron horses galloping every day is even a little distracted.

"What do you think of the tribes of the steppe?" Wang Xiu suddenly asked.

Feng Yuan was stunned, and immediately thought of the Northern Expedition, and it was easy to think of the flank attack strategy, and he was not very surprised. According to Wang Xiu's national policy, the Privy Capital Military Department has long been constantly formulating the strategy of the surrounding countries, and a very important part is the grassland.

The source of the storm has always been the grassland tribes, and the demise of the Khitan has scattered the grasslands, and the Jurchens cannot fully control it, which gives the Great Song Dynasty an opportunity.

After years of development, there are tribes on the grassland that are close to the Jurchens, and there are also tribes that are strong and dissatisfied with the Jurchens. According to Wang Xiu's words, the Great Song Dynasty does not need pro-Song forces, there are no completely pro-Song sheep in the grassland, only greedy wild wolves, and that group of barbarians will never be satisfied, and they are likely to bite you back.

What the Great Song Dynasty has to do is to use them to serve the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and to guard against the backlash of these steppe wolves.
