Without it, the wars of the past dynasties against the north, although the losses are huge, but they can always make contributions, even if they are defeated, they can be maintained, that is the imbalance in strength, not to be recovered by manpower, without the support of war horse resources, the Han hussars can not gallop.

That is to say, the importance of war horses in the era of cold weapons, as well as the climate problem, determine everything, you have not suppressed the absolute power of the horse army, even if you organize a powerful horse army and have the strength to fight against the north, you can only temporarily submit the north and cannot occupy it for a long time. One is that the Ma army in the Central Plains cannot maintain its size for a long time, and the other is that the climate in the north is harsh, and the Han family can no longer build an effective defense system on the prairie and the great plain, so they can only organize mobile defense along the mountain range.

Most importantly, the periodic decline of the Han regime gave the northern barbarians the opportunity to develop and grow.

Lingnan Smoke Miasma is also the same, even if the Han family succeeds in the conquest, it is often difficult to hold, no one wants to live in the smoke miasma for a long time, and finally cheapen those toasts.

The most hateful thing is that the Han army fought against the south, often overwhelming force, but every time it was defeated by the epidemic, most of the officials did not die in battle, but died of illness and pain, and most of them were wiped out, which is really a pity to the extreme.

For this reason, he almost pathologically demanded the development of medicine, not only Zhongshan Medical Hall developed rapidly, but even Yuquanshan also attached great importance to medical Zhai and cultivated a large number of talents. The forbidden army has set up seven specialized schools, involving baggage, chariots, post transmissions, military intelligence, etc., and military doctors are impressively listed, and they are still very valued.

In order to destroy the Li family in Jiaozhi, not to mention how much benefit they gave to Zhenla and Zhancheng, so that they could temporarily stop the conflict, the imperial court prepared the most adequate medicines, and even changed clothes for one person, and there were miscellaneous servants with the army to clean them.

After solving the problem of strategic flanking and doing a good job in logistical support, it is impossible to say that we cannot win the war.

Li Changsheng understands Wang Xiu's mood, and knows the situation in the South China Sea, and also believes that the imperial court is fully prepared, the north and the south are attacked, and the central construction is broken, it is a rapid and huge war, but it is a pity that it is no longer commanded by him, and it is false to say that it is not lost.

Zhang Guo frowned, and said confidently: "Jiaozhi will die." ”

"I think so too, hehe, tomorrow we will discuss the affairs of the south, and you will also participate." Wang Xiu smiled happily.

"I... Zhang Guo's expression was stunned, the discussion in Wang Xiu's mouth, it was a Privy Council-level meeting, to put it bluntly, it was the Imperial Privy Council, the military attache is also the cardinal marshal and the palace marshal can participate, how can he be qualified to participate?

Wang Xiu looked at Zhang Guo and said with a smile: "Without you, it's really not a circle, hehe." ”

Li Changsheng knew in his heart that the imperial court had begun the final decision on the settlement of Jiaozhi, and now it was by no means a question of whether to fight or not, but a big strategy of how to fight, and it seemed that after the Privy Council, the war against Jiaozhi would be officially launched.

In the north, Yichun County, Huining Prefecture, Shangjing Road, is a hundred miles away from Huining, Shangjing, it is a small county town in the north, the scale is relatively large, but in Qin Min's eyes, it is very depressed, and even the county seat in the border area of the Great Song Dynasty is not as good, and it is simply sinful to nest here.

The weather was so cold, whistling across the market, pouring into people's collars, fortunately, the northerners wore more fur, and it was better to keep out the cold than sackcloth, even if there were several layers of leather jackets, few people were willing to come out to hang out, and business was a depression.

"This place is still inhabited." Jiang Yun scolded and scolded, simmering in front of the brazier, his body still murmuring. Just as the Central Plains Dynasty is not easy to control the north, this kind of place where the winter is long and cold, and the summer is short, if the people of the Han family have something to eat, who wants to come and suffer foreign crimes.

With the continuous development of the south, people really don't want to come to the bitter cold land of one crop a year, and wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay in the south where there are two or even three crops a year?

"It's still good in summer, but you can bear it in winter, and I said that you are really, you have been in office for two years, and you still can't stand it." Qin Min smiled, his eyes a little gloating.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but sneeze, sniffed twice, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yanshan is not so cold, I would not have come if I had known it, who can be as restrained as you in everything and like to be offended." ”

Qin Min shook his head, picked up a pot of warm wine and drank a few sips, smacked his lips and said, "Some things can't be done if they don't come, I can't get used to Lord Yu, but I can't sit idly by." ”

Perhaps it is Wang Xiu's butterfly change that has changed the fate of these historical figures, Wushu is still alive, Zhang Qiyuan's rise, Li Gang is still in power, Qin Hui did not ascend to the prime minister's throne, and Zhao Gou also succumbed to the mansion, but the general trend is still inevitable.

When the news came that Hu Lu had taken over as the right prime minister, Wang Xiucai thought of this senior death, and immediately issued a golden plate to order the Northern Machine Speed Bureau to wait for the opportunity, whether it can be successfully rescued depends on the personal fate of Yu Xuzhong, after all, it is too far away.

He received the golden plate and immediately went north, and Jiang Yun, who was in Jizhou, also had to follow, preparing to rescue Yuxuzhong.

"There is hardly any hope." Jiang Yun was not optimistic about the rescue, and there were no outsiders present, so he simply went straight to the point.

Qin Min didn't know that Shangjing Huining Mansion was the capital of the Jurchens, and the four auxiliary army commanders were not dry food, even if they could be picked up, there were many cities to the west and east, and the degree of hardship was unimaginable, let alone to the south, it was a place with layers of checkpoints, and the Jin army was densely packed, and if you came hard, the whole army might be wiped out.

He sighed and said quietly: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, Mr. came to Guantang, he also made great contributions to the court, we can't throw away any robe at will, we must do our best." ”

"Yu Lao Er is not worry-free." Jiang Yun heard that he tried his best, his face looked a little better, he picked up the wine jug and poured two sips, pinched his nose and said: "This is also called wine, it is not sour, and it is also mixed with water, and it is full of black-hearted merchants." ”

"You will just order, where this bird doesn't, there is not even enough food to eat, how can there be surplus grain to make wine, it is good to have these." Qin Min pouted, the four seasons and winters in this place of Shangjing, plus there are no high-yield crops, the harvest is very low, and the local residents mostly rely on fishing and hunting for a living, and farming is secondary.

Your agriculture is underdeveloped, the grain production is low, the wine is naturally very expensive, the brewing level is also very low, there is no high turbidity wine in the south, it is simply piled up with grain, and now there is still distilled spirit, and I feel that this wine is like sour water.

"Okay, I'll leave after eating." Jiang Yun poured two more sips, but took a breath of cold air and scolded the unscrupulous businessman again.

"No, you are in charge of answering on the periphery, and I will go to Huining in person." Qin Min was categorical.

"As a speed officer, you must not put yourself in danger." Jiang Yun's face changed, and he put away his playful face. **
