The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, there is no problem with this reason, before Brother Richard's grain and grass was provided by Shuofang City, now Shuofang City has fallen, and the Wa military village has become a ruin, at this time the grain and grass of the 25,000 cavalry has become the top priority, if this problem cannot be solved, then it is only a matter of time before the army withdraws.

Although this problem exists, Liu Fa still doesn't care about Liu Zhenglong's proposal, and it is impossible for Brother Richard not to consider this problem, nor can he not think of a solution.

Liu Zhenglong saw that Liu Fa didn't care a little, so he continued: "It seems that the eldest brother doesn't like to look at the map very much, come to me here for a map, you can take a look, maybe you have an idea." ”

The map, Liu Fa looked at it for a long time and still didn't figure out the eyebrows, no wonder, the maps of the Song Dynasty were often rough and leafy, and they only showed the location of some prefectures and counties, as well as the routes, in fact, they were not useful for combat.

"Big brother, do you see that there is no Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division is not too far from Qin Feng Road and Xihe Road, and it is also the only place where you can provide grain and grass to Brother Richard, which is fifty miles away from here, in addition, within two or three hundred miles, it is no longer possible to provide grain and grass for the 25,000 military horses of Western Xia, do you say that this Western Xia God of War chooses to enter Xihe Road, Qin Feng Road to threshing grass to solve the problem of grain and grass, or transfer grain and grass from Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division?"

Liu Zhenglong had already revised the map he had received, and although it was far from a modern military map, it was already remarkable at the time. He pointed to Zhuo Luonan's military division and said: "Whether it is Xihe Road or Qinfeng Road, once this place is lost or attacked, Brother Richard must withdraw troops to help, can we intercept it halfway?" Of course, there is another plan, which is to intercept the team transporting grain and grass, and let Richard take the initiative to go to the Zhuo Luonan Military Division, no matter what, we can intercept it in this place. ”

There is an unnamed mountain range on the way to the Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division, in the middle is a valley trail that is seven or eight miles long, due to the problem of the mountain road, it is difficult for soldiers to cross on horseback, only the separation of men and horses, if it is cut off from the middle, then it is not impossible to snatch 25,000 war horses. Once the war horse is lost, then when the Western Xia army encounters the fierce Western army again, it will be difficult to retreat to the sky.

Liu Fa was silent for a long time and then said: "With the experience of Shuofang City, Brother Richard will definitely not rush to the rescue, but it is okay to rob grain and grass, with the sensitivity of this guy, he will find that there is a problem with the Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division, and the possibility of rescue in this case is still very large, after all, if you don't go to the rescue, you will withdraw the army from immature South Korea." As long as Brother Richard is solved in the sheep intestine path, we can take advantage of the situation to take down the Zhuo Luo South Military Division. ”

"Then is it you sending troops or Qin Fenglu sending troops?"

"Of course we sent troops, there are too many soldiers killed and wounded in this battle on Xihe Road, how can the credit be given to Liu Zhongwu?" The mention of Liu Zhongwu made Liu Fa angry, everyone is of the same clan and clan, and the relationship has been good for many years, but since Tong Guan came, Liu Zhongwu has changed, this time when his survival is in danger, this bastard will not come to the rescue.

Liu Zhenglong shook his head, this Liu Fa in front of him was okay to fight, but he didn't know anything about power techniques, he could be said to be ten idiots, he said helplessly: "Without Qin Fenglu as support, once Brother Richard counterattacked that day, can he hold the iron harrier with just one Xihe Road?" ”

When it comes to the Iron Harrier, Liu Fa is like a deflated ball that wilts all of a sudden, for a hundred years, the Iron Harrier is simply a nightmare for the Western Army, I don't know how many Western troops died tragically under the Iron Harrier's iron horse. The strong Western Army, in the face of the iron harriers armed to the teeth, can only be hanged and beaten.

Liu Zhenglong patted Liu Fa on the shoulder and said: "You can't write two Lius in one stroke, as long as Qin Fenglu and Xihe Road are united, whether it is against Western Xia or Tong Guan, they will be handy." War, you are good at it, and you should leave it to me to play with power. I promise to obey Liu Zhongwuxun's obedience. ”

"Then what if Liu Zhongwu is a dog that can't be fed?"

"The Sword of Heaven also wants to drink blood?"

Liu Zhenglong exuded a thick murderous aura, which made Liu Fa's entire veteran who had been crawling in the pile of dead people on the battlefield for many years have a chilling and creepy feeling. He didn't know why this man was so murderous, where should this be in a civil official, he was simply a murderous king who crawled out of hell.

A sentence of the Son of Heaven Sword can be regarded as drinking blood, and Liu Fa was suppressed, if this sentence was said by Tong Guan, this decisive general would not take it seriously at all, but from Liu Zhenglong's mouth, it was a world of difference.

Seeing that Liu Fa was suppressed, Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "Regarding letting Liu Zhongwu send troops to the Zhuo Luo South Military Division, or this official will come forward, I will also hand over the naval army to you, as for how to stop Brother Li Cha in the sheep intestine path, that is your business, and you will drop as many war horses as possible in one sentence." ”

"Yes." Liu Fa knew that this was a military order, and the other party was a military order issued in the name of the defense envoys of Xihe Road, Yongxing Military Road, and Qinfeng Road, and it must be carried out unconditionally, not discussed with himself at all.

Liu Zhenglong was very satisfied with Liu Fa's attitude, he said with a smile: "That murderous Cao Zheng, transfer me to be a guard, let's start working on our own now, I will persuade Liu Zhongwu to send troops, and you will be responsible for intercepting Brother Richard in the sheep intestine path." Don't worry, the credit belongs to you, Liu Zhongwu can't take it away. ”

Liu Zhongwu has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he has already received a letter from Liu Fa for help, and of course he has also received an order from Tong Guan, he knows that Tong Guan wants to rectify Liu Fa, but this is a conspiracy that he can't change, although he has been friends with Liu Fa for many years, he can't help at this time, so he can only pray for Liu Fa to have good luck.

Tong Guan was like a big mountain, which made Liu Zhongwu breathless, he didn't know when this feeling would disappear, but he knew that it was Liu Fa who was making trouble this time, maybe it would be his turn next time. If Liu Fa died in Shuofang City, what should he do next time it was his turn, would he have to grovel to live?

Miracle, the news from the front line is not that Liu Fa's soldiers were defeated and died, but that he took the Awa army village and Shuofang City, and this series of news overwhelmed Liu Zhongwu. With 30,000 Western troops, even if they are using soldiers like gods, as long as 50,000 Western Xia troops stick to Shuofang City, it is Liu Fa's great ability, and it is impossible to complete this anti-heaven task.

Liu Zhenglong, these three words, finally attracted Liu Zhongwu's attention, before he was not interested in this protégé of the Son of Heaven, but now, Liu Fa's counterattack is obviously directly related to this young civil official, which shows that there are many things hidden behind it.

The Pan family, a meritorious family, can support such a three-way defense envoy? Obviously not, this is obviously the meaning of the official, so what does it mean? Liu Zhongwu is also not good at the art of power schemes, and he can't figure out his thoughts for a while.

It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, but now that this three-way defense envoy has come to Qinfeng Road, Liu Zhongwu can't avoid it as a strategic envoy, obviously his official position is bigger than the other party, but he still has to go to see him as an official, which really makes him feel depressed.

In order to show respect for this Shangguan, Liu Zhongwu still entertained Liu Zhenglong in the mansion, but he did not invite the official eunuchs and gentry to accompany him, but his son Liu Qi accompanied him to drink.

Liu Zhenglong drank the Moon Shadow White and said, "I didn't expect that the wine brewed by this official brew was sold to Qin Feng Road, but this Moon Shadow White is still worse than Wan Yan's same cup." It's nice to be able to drink your own wine in this remote place. ”

On the surface, he was talking about wine, but Liu Zhongwu knew that this young civil official was talking about himself, and it was obvious that he was comparing himself with Liu Fa, implying that he was not in the Tao.

Liu Qi saw his father's concerns, and he hurriedly filled Liu Zhenglong with wine and said: "Qinfeng Road is located on the border, and it is quite good to be able to drink Moon Shadow White, and my father often says that he hopes to have the opportunity to go to the capital and taste the same cup of Wanyan." ”

"Why bother to go to the capital, the official asked people to pick it up."

Cao Zheng and Bao Xu picked up two cans of Wanyan in the same cup, poured wine for Liu Zhongwu and his son, and then went down.

Liu Zhenglong picked up the wine glass and said: "The wine should be the best, and the battle should be the most beautiful." The Xihe Road passed through the Xihe Road to make Liu Fa conquer Shuofang City with 30,000 Western troops, and the Wa army village killed 30,000 Western Xia troops, and now he has to set up an ambush to kill the remaining 25,000 cavalry of Brother Richard, this battle can be regarded as beautiful. After this battle, there should be no problem in promoting the national duke. If the generals of the Western Army are so brave and good at fighting, then the officials don't have to worry about it. ”

At this time, Liu Zhongwu knew that it would be inappropriate for him not to speak anymore, so he picked up his wine glass and said, "Liu Yuanjun, Liu Mou toasts you, let's talk while drinking." ”

"Drink and talk." Liu Zhenglong knew that the father and son were pretending to be confused in front of him, so he made it clear and said: "Liu Fang's envoy plans to intercept Richard's cavalry on the sheep intestine path, but the key to the whole battle is not the interception of the sheep intestine path. It's about whether or not you can win the Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division, which is a great feat. ”

Since the Zhuo Luo Nan Military Division was mentioned, and the military exploits were also mentioned, this is no different from picking Ming, Liu Zhongwu knew that the other party threw an olive branch to himself, if he followed, it would be equivalent to getting on Liu Zhenglong's thief ship, but if he refused, then it would be equivalent to sealing this road.

Where to go, Liu Zhongwu didn't think about it, he gave his son a color, and asked Liu Qi to probe Liu Zhenglong's bottom line.

After Liu Qi made up his mind, he asked: "Liu Yuanjun, this kind of joint operation between two different jurisdictions, do you need to ask the prime minister?" ”

"It's not a concerted operation, it's a separate battle, it's just a mutual look." Liu Zhenglong put the wine glass on the table heavily, and he said unhurriedly: "This official is the defense envoy of Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, and Yongxing Military Road, as long as it involves the defense of the three roads, you can report directly to the official family without going through the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, and with the Son of Heaven Sword, it is to patrol the three roads on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

On behalf of the Son of Heaven, he patrolled Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Military Road, Xihe Road, and directly skipped the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, what a domineering thing this is, only Liu Zhenglong dared to say this, because he firmly believed that no one dared to verify, even if someone went to verify, the official family would carry it, after all, the affairs of Western Xia, the official family was absolutely delegated to themselves.

Liu Fa, the reason why Liu Zhongwu is so jealous of Tong Guan is that Tong Guan himself is a privy envoy, and it is impossible to bypass the Privy Council when it comes to military affairs on the Western Front, and of course, it is even more impossible to bypass the political affairs hall.

Although Liu Zhongwu is also an old fox, he is not very familiar with many things in the court, and he is even more unclear about the routine of the young official in front of him, but one thing is certain, Liu Fa has already taken refuge in the past, and the next step depends on what he means.

Advancing and retreating is not a good choice, Liu Zhongwu has a little headache, no matter what, Tong Guan is fully responsible for the military affairs and government affairs of the Western Front, which cannot be avoided, but the young man in front of him, can he afford to offend?

The tiger father has no dog son, Liu Qi thinks more far-reaching than his father, he knows that Liu Zhenglong is coming, since he has the sword of the Son of Heaven, it means that the official family is not very satisfied with some of Tong Guan's strategies, or is not satisfied with Tong Guan's suppression of the Western Army. This may be the only chance for the Western Army to turn over, and once it is missed, it will never be recovered.

Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Liu Qi got up and poured wine for Liu Zhenglong, and he said with a smile: "Liu Yuanjun, the Zhuoluo South Military Division is the closest to our Qinfeng Road, and the last general is willing to take this military city." ”

Liu Zhongwu is very satisfied with his son's performance, even if Tong Guan blames him, it is his son's private action, and it is a big deal to remove his son from his position, and it will definitely not be difficult for him. If the military merit of winning the Zhuo Luonan Military Division this time can fall on his son's head, it means that Liu Zhenglong has the capital to argue with Tong Guan, and he no longer has to worry about whether to stand in line.

"The tiger father has no dog son, it seems that Liu Jingluo has a good son, and in the future, Liu Qi will definitely be able to pay homage to the marquis and seal his wife and son. Unlike me, on the day of my wife's wedding, I was ashamed, ashamed. ”

It sounds like self-deprecation, in fact, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has not been a woman who has been canonized as Mrs. Decree on the day of the wedding, which cannot be said to be the last, but it is absolutely unprecedented, which obviously has nothing to do with Liu Zhenglong's wife Pan Yun was born in the Pan family, behind this is an affirmation of Liu Zhenglong by the official family, to put it bluntly, the official family is strongly supporting this protégé of the Son of Heaven.

The husband is only the sixth grade, far from the point where there is no seal, and the merit is high and the lord is shocked, in this case, the wife is crowned with a three-grade wife, what does this mean? This made Liu Zhongwu make up his mind to stand in line and follow Liu Zhenglong, the three-way defense envoy.

After making up his mind, Liu Zhongwu picked up his wine glass and said: "Thanks to Liu Yuanjun's love for the dog, in the battle of Zhuo Luonan's military division, Qin Fenglu will definitely go all out to fight a beautiful battle to prove that the combat effectiveness does not have to be bad in Xihelu." ”
