Chapter 592 Vertical and Horizontal

The performance of the seed is also quite eye-catching, overcoming many difficulties such as logistical failure and low morale, leading troops to raid the Western Xia army in Luowu, occupying this key point, and letting Yan Da lead 20,000 people to build the city and defend it.

Followed by the construction of Yongle River, Xiangling Mountain, Funing Ancient City, Tuhun River, Kaiguang Mountain, Jialuchuan and other villages, each more than 40 miles apart, echoing each other, began the Hengshan strategy.

In fact, this is already an invasion of the territory of the Western Xia, and the first target is the Xia Prefecture of the Western Xia people. The commander of the seed was neat and tidy, and Han Jiang reported to the court that the seed had entered the summer, and begged for a reward, and Zhao Ji readily agreed.

Guo Kui was born in a big-headed soldier, and compared with the descendants of Confucianism, Han Jiang believes in the caste.

But Su You didn't have such discrimination at all, why did he stretch out his hand to cut off his beard and send him back to the capital? Guo Kui, old Han, are you sure you don't want to? That's right, you don't want me!

Guo Kui wants to be his subordinate.

Guo Kui was not polite, as soon as he arrived in Shaanxi, he inspected all kinds of troops in depth, and every time he went to the department, people said what they could, and read it every day.

Seeing that Guo Kui was so proficient in military affairs, Su You looked like he was afraid of being tired and would not die, so he immediately threw the whole burden to him and let the pigeons go.

It's really a pigeon, there are a lot of pigeons in Shaanxi, and Li Yuanhao pit Song Jun back then, and he used pigeons.

Shi Wei is pregnant, and Su You actually doesn't know what the nutritional difference between pigeon eggs and eggs is, but pigeon eggs are rare eggs that Su You has ever seen that are white or transparent after cooking.

In later generations, many families would give this to their children, and pregnant women would eat this, and Su You would get it like a cat.

The pigeon needs to live high, Weizhou has now become the rear, and several watchtowers at the head of the city are now useless, so Su You directly let Zhang Qi transform it into a pigeon building.

In Shaanxi, traffic roads are now very well repaired, such as Shangzhou to Weizhou, which is already an asphalt road.

The carrier pigeon communication system is actually a rather complex system, because the pigeon's memory of the magnetic field of the hometown is not long, so the pigeon in Weizhou needs to be transported to various places after release, and the pigeon will fly back to Weizhou.

And today's traffic speed is not fast, ordinary post delivery is only sixty miles a day.

Therefore, it is necessary to send a few pigeons to Shangzhou, which is 300 miles away, every day, and then Shangzhou, whether there is a letter or not, must release them and let them fly back on their own initiative.

If they stay in Shangzhou, it won't be long before they become Shangzhou pigeons, not Weizhou pigeons.

To form a report system, the number of pigeons in each city is very large.

The population is very large, and there are many eggs.

In fact, Shitong has been doing this thing, and the carrier pigeons cultivated in Meishan can even fly back to their hometown from Hangzhou at the farthest.

However, the success rate from Weizhou to Meishan is still very low, not because of anything else, but because there are too many falcons over the Qinling Mountains, and the time consumed on the road is too long.

The Weizhou carrier pigeons are very dark in color and quite ugly.

Because falcons are afraid of crows, dark-colored carrier pigeons have a much higher survival rate than light-colored pigeons.

The pigeon cooed, expressing its displeasure at Su You, an uninvited guest.

After picking out some pigeon eggs and putting them in the basket that Sun Neng was carrying, Su You saw a pigeon wearing a small letter bag flying back.

Sun Neng put down the basket, grabbed the pigeon lightly in his hand, and took out a small roll of paper from the letter bag.

Next to the pigeon building at the head of the city, there is a team of dozens of people, which is responsible for raising carrier pigeons, and is also responsible for sorting out the information sent back from all over the country.

Sun Neng went to the room to fetch the iodine solution and smeared it on the paper roll, showing rows of extremely small handwriting.

After reading the paper roll, Su You smiled slightly, Li Wenzhao, finally picked up.

……

In a small tribe in Liangchuan and Tibet, Wang Hou, dressed in Tibetan clothes, walked into a tent with a white sheepskin and a knife hanging at the door.

Entering the tent, there were two people inside, Wang Hou took off the fur hat on his head, and smiled at the person who was drinking milk tea in the tent: "You must see me?" ”

Li Wenzhao was very surprised: "Tang Shilang! How could a luxury figure who was famous in Bianbo eight years ago be so young?! ”

Li Wenzhao's henchman Bari Wanna immediately drew a knife and put it on Wang Hou's neck: "Say!" Who are you?! ”

Wang Hou disagreed: "Is this how the Marquis of Fuping treats guests?" ”

"Fuping Hou?" Li Wenzhao is not the high-spirited young man he was ten years ago, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that no one in the Western Xia clan remembers this title......

With a wave of his hand, Barry twisted the knife away: "Lang Jun is too young, you can't blame me for being suspicious, please sit down." ”

Wang Hou sat down: "Don't blame Master Hou for this, I'm only nineteen this year." ”

After speaking, he said: "But Hou Ye thinks about it again, can Tang Shilang, who can control the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, and the Qingtang border trade, be just one person?" ”

"Master Hou can imagine Tang Shilang as a guild, or just call Shiro Guild. The head of the line inside is called Tang Shilang, and Tang Shiro is the title of the position, not the name of the person, well, that's pretty much it. ”

Li Wenzhao twitched the corners of his mouth: "Then you, how dare you trade with Western Xia?" In the Great Song Dynasty, this is a serious crime. ”

Wang Hou disagreed: "But it's also a big benefit." Isn't this way of making a fortune all written in the "Criminal System" of every country? ”

Li Wenzhao smiled dumbly, what this kid said was really right.

Wang Hou said: "Now the scale of the Shilang Association is already large, and there are forces in the Qingtang, Western Xia, and Great Song Dynasty. Hehehe, to put it mildly, this time I came to talk about cooperation with Hou Ye at the behest of Xiao Su Laozi. ”

Li Wenzhao's eyes flashed: "Cooperation? What's in it for me? Is it just an empty Fuping Hou? I heard that Liang Gewei, who was captured by Su You, is now also the Marquis of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Hou smiled: "Su Tanhua doesn't talk about him else, but he has a good reputation in terms of business reputation." And to make a deal with him, you will always be given a price that you can't refuse, in his words, this is called a win-win situation - how about Tiandu Mountain? ”

Qifeng is prominent, even if Li Wenzhao has been fighting guerrilla for decades, he can't help but be shocked and knock over the milk tea in his hand.

Barry's heart was beating suddenly, and the price given by Xiao Su Laozi was really not to be refused.

Tiandu Mountain! This is the capital of the country!

Wang Hou said: "Xiao Su Laozi took Shimenxia and built Tianmen Village, and the geographical advantage of Tiandu Mountain is gone. ”

"It is now a protrusion trapped in the middle of the Hehuang and Shaanxi forces, and when the Great Song Dynasty was weak in the past, Tiandu Mountain was naturally a sharp tooth and fangs that ate meat."

"But now, when Hehuang and Shaanxi become bones, Tiandu Mountain becomes a tooth stuck in the cracks of bones, and there is a dilemma."

"Now that the results of the Song-Xia negotiations are becoming clearer and clearer, the Xia people are also having a hard time this year, in order to restore the New Year's coin, they have generally agreed that Shaanxi will maintain the status quo, Shimenxia, it is ironclad not to go back."

"Tiandu Mountain is where Yuanhao's palace is located, and the Xia people will not give up, but they are stuck in the middle, everyone is uncomfortable, Su Tanhua's meaning is to change it to a Western Xia master."

Li Wenzhao sneered: "It's a good calculation. ”

Wang Hou said: "Qingtang Dong Yu, but I have told Su Tanhua many times, he thinks that your activities in Qingtang have seriously affected the stability of the region, and several times you have prepared to conquer and suppress, but the Great Song Dynasty has suppressed it." ”

"Now that the situation has changed, the Great Song Dynasty has conquered Hehuang, and your existence has become a serious obstacle affecting the relationship between Qingtang and the Great Song Dynasty. Fuping Hou, for you, Qingtang, can it be better than Tiandu Mountain? ”

Li Wenzhao said: "Our army is not strong enough to attack Tiandu Mountain, and there is a great shortage of weapons, medicine, and grain. ”

Wang Hou said: "The latest news, Sitong Merchant has stored a large number of Xia people's ordnance, military uniforms, and felt shed quilts seized this time at the transportation station of Jiguxi. The tribes there are old subordinates of the Marquis of Fuping, and they only need to rob the traffic station, and they can immediately expand more than 10,000 elites. ”

"As for the grain, what Tiandu Mountain has hoarded is enough for an army of 100,000 for three years. This depends on the resourcefulness of Fuping Hou. ”

Li Wenzhao said: "What does the Song Dynasty want? ”

Wang Hou said: "Su Tanhua said that the Marquis of Fuping is Wu Zixu of Western Xia, if you are willing to defect to the Great Song Dynasty, he will welcome him." ”

Li Wenzhao shook his head: "Wen Zhao was born as a Xia man and died as a Xia ghost, so this matter will not be mentioned." ”

Wang Hou nodded: "This is exactly what Tanhualang expected, he said that Li Wenzhao has worked hard for 20 years, resisted tyranny and tyrants, and did not return. But it doesn't affect his admiration for you. ”

Li Wenzhao smiled slightly and did not speak.
