After staying in Luoyang for only two days, Ye Qing continued to lead the army westward to Jingzhaofu Road, where Yu Yunwen was located.

Yu Yunwen guarded the Jingzhaofu Road, Xin Qiji stationed in Jinan Mansion, Zhang Kui and Zhou Zong Kaifeng and Luoyang, plus Li Heng, Wu Xuan, Li Zhongfang, Tian Lin and other Huainan Five Route armies, basically able to maintain the entire northland roadless frontier.

Of course, if the Jin people suddenly went south at this time, it would still cause them a certain amount of defensive pressure, but once they withstood the first wave, basically the five roads in the north would be able to calmly respond to the battle, and not flee like the imperial court did back then.

For more than a month, Ye Qing finally followed the Yellow River, although he did not pass through too many cities, but along the Yellow River to the west, it can be regarded as inspecting the entire so-called defense area, parting ways with the Yellow River, and continuing west to Jingzhaofu, and the Yellow River is going north along the border of the Jin State into the grassland.

Luoyang has long been without even the slightest shadow of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Song Dynasty has just been founded, the war during the Five Dynasties has become a microcosm of history, Chang'an of Jingzhao Mansion, is also destined to such a tragedy of historical development, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the scene of the coming dynasty of all countries, only in the history books make people fascinated and longing.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an has gradually disappeared into the vast river of history with the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty.

The loess under the feet is still the same, but it has become more and more ordinary, the original Daming Palace, has already become the "new Chang'an City" built by Han Jian, the fifth generation of festivals, but after a hundred years, everything has been ordinary like this land, there has never been a strong prosperous dynasty capital, like a mirage recorded in the history books, it is so unreal.

But fortunately, even in later generations, we can still find some shadows of the Chang'an city wall, but that is already the shadow of the new Chang'an city wall built by Han Jian, which has nothing to do with the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The bricks of the Great Wall in a period of time, can be used by the common people to build toilets a reason, now walking on the streets of Chang'an, some slightly tall people, carefully look at the green bricks, can find some of the shadow of the bricks of the city wall of the Daming Palace.

Even on some stone and brick roads under your feet, you will find that the prosperous Tang Dynasty did exist, but it was just that everything was buried in the loess land and into the history books.

I haven't seen Yu Yunwen for many years, Yu Yunwen doesn't seem to be old, his body is still so tall, he still walks like a tiger, and the momentum of a gentle and elegant general on his body is becoming more and more obvious.

Perhaps it is the relationship between the main Jingzhaofu Road now, and Yu Yunwen today is much more energetic than when he first met Ye Qing, and the spirit of the whole person is much better than at that time, full of vitality and spirit, just like the Jingzhao Mansion under his rule, which is thriving.

"Two or three days later than I expected, something delayed on the way?" In the Jingzhao Mansion Office, Yu Yunwen looked at Ye Qing, who was in the dust, and asked with a warm smile.

"No, Luoyang stopped for one more day, and it was delayed for a day or two to catch up with the rain." Ye Qing took the teacup and looked at it, it was not bad, Yu Yunwen took out his treasured tea leaves, and he was no longer petty.

"You're here, can I still greet you with tea?" How could Yu Yunwen not know Ye Qing's careful thoughts, even if the two hadn't seen each other for a few years, they had long been familiar with each other's tempers.

"I'm afraid that the new tea I brought won't be saved." Ye Qing said lightly.

"In this way, then the lower official will thank you." Yu Yunwen was slightly stunned, and then said unceremoniously.

"I want to say that if you don't have your share, will you kick me out of this Jingzhao Mansion?" Ye Qing put down the teacup and motioned to Mo Xiaobao to bring some of the things he brought from Yangzhou to Yu Yunwen.

Although Yu Yunwen looked at the big bags of things on his mouth, he finally said a few polite words in his heart, but his hands and feet were not slow at all, after Mo Xiaobao just ordered the others to put them down, Yu Yunwen immediately ordered someone to put them away, as if he was afraid that Ye Qing would regret it.

"I didn't go to Kaifeng Mansion, I took some of your things in Luoyang and gave some to Zhou Zong, but I didn't need it, so I had to give away your things." Ye Qing said as he drank his tea.

Yu Yunwen looked at the big bags and small bags of items, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said: "It's okay, just send it when you should send it, don't look at you giving me so many good things from Lin'an, but don't wait until tomorrow, there won't be much left in my hands." You don't know, these merchants are really dark, and this is a long way, so the good things over there in Lin'an, even if they come here by boat, are very expensive, and I am reluctant to spend money to buy them, let alone other officials in this Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Even if it's for you, you don't need it, do you?" Ye Qing picked up a teapot next to him and studied it, looking at the style, with a strong Xia Guo style, and even if it was in this government office, it was also a Xia Guo style of furnishings, more than the style of the Central Plains culture.

Yu Yunwen naturally understood what Ye Qing was talking about, hehe laughed, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Take the chair under your ass and this table, although my Central Plains-style chair is good-looking, it is also a little more expensive, and this, a pair of such ornaments, but only half of our silver for those furnishings, so if it is you, which ones do you use?" ”

"Actually, the golden people are not bad." Ye Qing finished drinking the tea, then looked at Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao, and motioned for them to have a good rest in Jingzhao Mansion, and Zhong Silkworm immediately set off for the grassland the day after tomorrow.

After arranging Zhong Silkworm, Mo Xiaobao and others, Yu Yunwen took Ye Qing and the two of them to the rear of the government office, and as for the other officials of Jingzhao Mansion, after waiting for Ye Qing to enter Chang'an, they were also dismissed by Yu Yunwen early and began to work their own way.

In a room full of sand tables, outside the door, Yu Yunwen sent someone to guard it, and it was almost difficult for others to enter this room on weekdays, Ye Qing nodded frequently with satisfaction, looking at the huge sand table in front of him.

"Yes, if Xiqin Road, Qingyuan Road, and Yanyan Road can be won, basically we can start plotting against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." Ye Qing looked like a wolf, and his eyes were a little shiny as he stared at the three roads of the river and said.

has coveted the three roads of the Hetao for a long time, and Yu Yunwen has been secretly planning how to win the three roads of the Hetao for the past year, so on the current sand table map, Yu Yunwen has all marked the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which naturally makes Ye Qing quite excited.

"But you must also know that the Xia people are also playing the idea of three ways in the Hetao, and ...... You also promised them that we would not interfere in their plundering of the Jinren's territory. Yu Yunwen said with a smile.

"At this time and that time, how can there be an eternal promise in this world, not to mention, even if I keep it, will Hot Gongji really believe it?" Ye Qing smiled, and then his gaze began to slowly move west from Hetao Third Road, and there, it was the famous Helan Mountain.

Ye Qing wants to recover or occupy all the Hetao areas, all the territories south of the Yellow River, then he must fight with the Xia people's swordsmen, after all, the Xia people will never allow Xingqing Mansion to be, and after the threat of the Jin people is less, there is another Song person to threaten them at all times.

And this is why the Xia people always covet the three roads of the Hetao, hoping to control the three roads of the Hetao, after all, in this way, the depth and width of their Xia country are gone, and they no longer have to be so aggrieved and survive by relying on people's breath.

"So what's next?" Yu Yunwen rubbed his hands and asked, he also felt that the question now was very tricky, the Jin people must be holding back their anger, so Yu Yunwen knew that if he took the initiative to attack the Jin people again, this battle would be several times more difficult than before.

"In order to respond to all changes, Tian Lin is now under your command, although this person is brave and strategic, but it is also like a wild horse, once there is a goal, it is like playing chicken blood, and the excited night can't sleep, so you have to manage him well for the time being. As for how to win the three roads of this Hetao, since he promised the hot and hot Gongji, then it is up to him to test the reality of the Jin people first. Ye Qing looked at Helan Mountain and said.

From the sand table, it can be clearly seen that Helan Mountain runs more than 500 miles from north to south, plus Yin Mountain to the north, and the Daxing'an Mountains to the northeast, so it forms a complete natural defense line.

Although there are many gaps in the middle, which also prompted the Central Plains Dynasty to establish various military checkpoints, if it can take the Hetao Three Roads, and then slowly try to other places, then the ideal of keeping the Tatars out of the mountain is not impossible for Ye Qing to realize.

And this, naturally, is also Ye Qing's ultimate goal at this time, which is to use the three mountain ranges as the forward position, keep the Tatars, the biggest threat in the future, out of the three mountains, making it difficult for them to advance into the Central Plains, and similarly, it can also make the Central Plains retain a certain amount of fertile grassland, which can be used as an indispensable supply ground for war horses in the war at this time.

As Ye Qing's fingers draw, Yu Yunwen's eyes seemed to open up a new world, although he would be in a daze at this sand table from time to time, but he had never had such a clear and bold idea as Ye Qing today.

Yu Yunwen can think that with the loss of the Hetao Third Road, after the Jin people continued to retreat north from the Central Plains, a large amount of territory left behind was enough for them to eat all of it with Yinshan as the boundary.

But over there in Daxinganling, how should you be able to eat it? After all, outside the Great Xing'an Mountains is the vast prairie, and inside is the place where the Jin people "made a fortune" back then, so if Ye Qing once eats the three roads of Hetao, and when he plots against the Central Plains and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it is difficult to guarantee that the Jin people will not jump over the wall in a hurry and unite the Tatars against Ye Qing.

Ye Qing smiled with his backhand, then looked at Yu Yunwen and said: "War has never only relied on military force to achieve victory, the benefits of war have been obtained by military force, and victory in war has always relied on means. So since the time comes, the Jin people can think of uniting the Tatars against us, then why can't we take precautions now, and start planning now, so that they have no way to unite? ”

Yu Yunwen frowned and looked at Ye Qing, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "So you went to the Liao Kingdom this time, nominally to unite against the invasion of alien races in my Huaxia, of course, this is also one of the purposes, but you must have other purposes, that is, to divide the possibility of them uniting in the future?" ”

"It's hard to say whether I need to divide or not, which of these people is not a human spirit? It's just that when the time comes, it depends on who has a long-term vision, and who will be stupid to only care about immediate interests. Once the Khwarazmians are victorious, basically this so-called alliance will be invisibly disintegrated and eliminated in an instant, because there will always be people who arrogantly think that the Khwarazmians are nothing more than that, and of course, they will also give some people a new way out of plundering interests. Ye Qing said very simply, but if you want to figure out who is who, Yu Yunwen, who is obviously outside the matter, is still difficult to distinguish for a while.

"How about a meal at the best restaurant in Chang'an in the evening?" Yu Yunwen has one good thing, that is, he doesn't force things he doesn't understand, not to mention, when it comes to the long-term vision, he definitely believes that Ye Qing's long-term vision is no less than anyone in the world.
