After Ren Duogui left quietly, Zuo Ziguang turned his head to look at Li Zhongyi and said with a smile: "This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "Where there are people, there is right and wrong, blocking other people's financial paths, just like killing parents." ”

Zuo Ziguang nodded and said: "There are more party members than us Han people, as long as they don't join forces and conspire with me, the big thing will be decided." ”

Li Zhongyi shook his head and said, "We can't underestimate the party members, we have to think a few more layers and plan for the worst to be able to do it well." ”

Zuo Ziguang nodded and said, "The most troublesome thing is the lack of food, if Lingzhou is in chaos, it will be even more difficult to transport food in." ”

"His Majesty is the British Lord, this layer is impossible to think of, we just need to do a good job of responding." Li Zhongyi knew in his heart how much grain the imperial court had hoarded for the Northern Expedition.

Lingzhou is located in the most marginal position in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and after more than 1,000 years of grain cultivation by the Han people, the fertility of the land has been greatly reduced.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the grain production of Guannai Province has deteriorated, so much so that the number of people available for support has dropped sharply.

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties of the kingdoms, without exception, all abandoned Chang'an, and set up the capital in Kaifeng or Jinyang (Taiyuan). One of the most important factors is the lack of grain production in the customs area, coupled with the long distance and extremely difficult transportation of grain.

Kaifeng is surrounded by plains on all sides, and there is no danger at all except for the Yellow River. It's just that, from an economic point of view, the grain in the Jianghuai region is transferred through the Grand Canal. But it's very convenient.

According to historical records, after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, Xijing, several times. was dissuaded by Zhao Guangyi, the second goods, with the sentence "The country is not in danger in Germany".

In terms of geographical shape alone, the terrain of Luoyang is dangerous, with Qinling Mountains in the west, Songyue in the east, Pishan Barrier in the north, and Longmen Yique in the south. Luoshui runs through the city from west to east. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Luoyang can be attacked militarily and defended when retreating. It is also backed by the hinterland of Jinghu Lake, which is actually more suitable as the capital of a country than Kaifeng.

In particular, when the sixteen states of Yanyun did not regain Middle Earth, Zhao Kuangyin's idea of moving the capital. Undoubtedly wise.

It's just that. Zhao Guangyi was Kaifeng Yin at the time, and he was in the position of the emperor's younger brother on the surface, and he was worried about shaking the foundation of power, so he strongly opposed it.

Not only is the land in Lingzhou not fertile, but the trend of land desertification is becoming more and more severe due to the increasing number of farmers who abandon their land.

Therefore, Chai Rong granted Li Zhong Yilingzhou full powers. And not worrying about him setting up another mountain, is to take into account. Lingzhou's grain must be transshipped through the Central Plains.

Therefore, after arriving in Lingzhou, the biggest problem in front of Li Zhongyi was the question of how to feed the more than 100,000 mouths of the entire Lingzhou, rather than a military issue in the general sense.

The Western Xia was able to establish a country, mainly relying on the fertile soil of the Hetao area and the fertile fields for thousands of miles, which is very pertinent.

Chai Rong also calculated accurately, if Li Zhongyi wants to gain a foothold in Lingzhou, he must take the land of the four states of the party members, and it is impossible to expand eastward.

However, Chai Rong still missed a little after all, although Li Zhongyi didn't know how to grow crops, but he, a famous doctor from two generations, knew very well the source of fertility of the land.

In this era, there can be no concept of flower fertilizer, and most farmers do not know how to cultivate intensively, although it is not the age of slash-and-burn farming, but the farmers' understanding of fertilizer is still unusually shallow.

Of course, there is no synthetic modern fertilizer, but there are many livestock in Lingzhou, and the manure of cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, and mules, if forcibly collected and fermented for a certain period of time, is a very good fertilizer.

When it comes to the emperor's mental technique, Li Zhongyi is not necessarily stronger than Chai Rong. However, due to the accumulation of thousands of years of scientific knowledge, Li Zhongyi's insight in science and technology is not known how many times stronger than Comrade Lao Chai.

Different from the Central Plains, the ten counties under Lingzhou all belong to the category of vast land and sparsely populated. Due to the rise of the Dangxiang people, animal husbandry is very good, and the big Han landlords are basically concentrated near Lingzhou City.

This means that if Li Zhongyi wants to carry out land reform, the conditions are relatively much more favorable than those in the Central Plains.

"Jiang Ming, relying on Ren Duogui alone to secretly stir up the situation, I'm afraid there are too many variables, right?" Li Zhongyi threw out the topic and wanted to test Zuo Ziguang's reaction ability.

Zuo Ziguang said with a smile: "Didn't you once say on the road, provoke the party and fight the party?" As long as we are not in a hurry, while secretly using the party, while sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and waiting to move, the effect will not be too small. ”

"Aren't you afraid that in Lingzhou City, there are party members leading the way?" Li Zhongyi cocked Erlang's legs and looked at Zuo Ziguang with a smile.

Zuo Ziguang slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the party that leads the way." Hehe, among the Han people in Lingzhou City, there must be a party member who leads the way, but well, since you moved Yang Zhenggao, hehe, let's wait for them to make a move, and then catch them all, then Lingzhou can be determined. ”

Li Zhongyi shook his head and said, "Our most ferocious enemy is not these Han landlords, but the party members with many cavalry. ”

After all, Zuo Ziguang was born in Shu in Inner 6, and he had never seen the huge impact of tens of thousands of cavalry troops and collective charges.

"Jiangming, Lingju is different from Goryeo, this is where our foundation is located. I can't kill all the party members. Therefore, dividing and conquering and collecting for my own use is the best policy. Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said slowly, "The ready-made tens of thousands of cavalry troops, if we don't make good use of them, it will be too wasteful." ”

It is no exaggeration to say that the modern synthetic infantry army trained by Li Zhongyi is already the strongest and most elite infantry army in this era.

However, in the face of the Khitans with hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen, the infantry army under Li Zhongyi also had an extremely obvious strategic disadvantage.

Even if the battle is won, it will be difficult for the infantry army to catch up with the Khitan cavalry who have fled on horseback, and if they lose, the total annihilation of the army is in sight.

Suppose that Li Zhongyi has an elite cavalry unit suitable for pursuit operations. Even if Chai Rong died suddenly, Zhao Lao Ershun established the Northern Song Dynasty, and Li Zhongyi was also firmly invincible.

Two days later, Yang Zhenggao led the dejected soap servants back to Lingzhou City.

"Li observed, the subordinate officials were incompetent, not only did they not catch the murderer, but their subordinates suffered a lot of losses." Yang Zhenggao opened his eyes and made up nonsense, trying to fool Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi was not angry, but comforted Yang Zhenggao with a pleasant face: "The party barbarians are powerful, and they are not guilty of war." ”

Yang Zhenggao sighed heavily and said, "The lower officials are not capable, I want to ask for leave to go home and rest for a few days, and please observe Enzhun." ”

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, he thought to himself, the drama is coming, the surname Yang is in a hurry, I'm afraid he can't wait to do it, right?

Because of the brute change of the party, Lingzhou has killed three assassins, you can imagine how chaotic the situation is?

"Yang Changshi, this envoy has just come to Lingzhou, and he is very unfamiliar with state affairs, and many affairs need you to maintain." Li Zhongyi deliberately sighed and said, "Besides, the party barbarians are in turmoil, and it is not a day or two, and it still needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows, arched his hands and said: "Xiaguan is indeed physically and mentally exhausted, please observe and approve a few days of vacation, Xiaguan can go home to recuperate his body and bones, and then come to work hard for observation." ”

Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that Yang Zhenggao's words were very polite, but in fact, he wanted to pick a pick, waiting to see the jokes of him, the supreme governor of Lingzhou.

Even, Yang Zhenggao is likely to have negotiated with the clansmen of the party's dog head to borrow his Li Zhongyi's head to sacrifice the flag.

"Since Yang Changshi is indeed tired, let's rest for half a month. When the body and bones are raised, they will assist the envoy and appease the people of Anzhou. Li Zhongyi's answer was completely unexpected by Yang Zhenggao.

Yang Zhenggao originally thought that Li Zhongyi had just taken office, and his eyes were black, whether it was taxation or public security, he had to rely on him, the head snake.

However, Li Zhongyi's attitude was unusually strong, and he took advantage of Yang Zhenggao's excuse to go downhill and kill the donkey.

The so-called half-moon rest is just a polite way to stand aside, and people who have been in officialdom are very familiar with this hypocritical routine.

"Li observes, then the lower official will go back and rest first." Yang Zhenggao put on a smiling face, politely arched his hand, and took three steps back before turning around and leaving the public hall.

After Yang Zhenggao walked away, Zuo Ziguang turned out from behind the screen, he walked up to Li Zhongyi, and said with a smile: "The surname Yang is obviously forced by us to be in a hurry, let's just plan and finish the battle." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and said: "The people surnamed Yang and the party members will probably think that we dare not go out of the city, so the four city gates in Lingzhou have become the key, understand?" ”

Zuo Ziguang said with a smile: "From the time Yang Zhenggao privately agreed to dedicate the city to the assembly of the head of the party dog, it will take at least seven days. Moreover, it is impossible for Ren Duogui to wait so long. ”

Li Zhongyi laughed softly: "Let's become a person who hurts the tiger's heart, and the tiger eats people's will, it depends on who can have the last laugh." ”

Zuo Ziguang shook the sleeves of his robe lightly, and said proudly: "The foundation of our Laohechi Township Army is already strong, and what is missing is just a means to pursue the cavalry after the victory and expand the results of the battle." Now, with the participation of hundreds of cavalry from the Niutou tribe of Ren Duogui, hehe, it's only a matter of how many or how few they have to cut down. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and reminded: "Jiang Ming, the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is mostly cavalry, I must remind you that the kotou tribe can't afford to lose, and we can't afford to lose, so we can only win." Therefore, it is necessary to draw up a detailed battle plan in strict accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations of the General Staff Department." ”

Zuo Ziguang restrained his smile and said solemnly: "The student union will formulate at least three sets of combat plans, and let everyone know what the goal of this operation is. ”

"Okay, you can do it." Li Zhongyi smiled and nodded, got up and went back to the backyard. (To be continued!)
