After being busy for a month, after finishing the spring planting thing, the soldiers and civilians in Jingqiang Village should go to the training of training, the bow that should be started in the workshop, and the classes that should go to the school, and they are busy with other things. 【】

Everyone else is busy, but Zhong Hao found that he began to be idle, and taking advantage of this time to be free, he planned to go to the Hengshan area to have a look.

When Zhong Hao was in Qingzhou at that time, in order to attract Fu Bi's attention, he boasted to Fu Bi that what strategy Hengshan and opening up Hehuang were the key to eliminating Western Xia. And it is precisely because of this that Fu Bi transferred himself to Hedong and sent him to Hexi to preside over the affairs of Jingqiang Village. But Fu Bi let himself not only preside over Jingqiang Village and live a small life in Hexi, but the most important thing is to take in and return to the Hengshan Shengqiang and Tibetan tribes.

But I have been coming to Jingqiang Village in Hexi for more than a year, and I have never even been to Hengshan, let alone recruit the Shengqiang tribe in the Hengshan area, which is a bit too much.

Of course, in fact, Fu Bi and Zhong Hao also understood that if they really wanted to attack Hengshan, break this natural barrier in Western Xia, and compress the living space of Western Xia, this would rise to the level of national war, and they needed the full support of the imperial court in order to be able to exert themselves.

The reason why Fu Bi arranged for Zhong Hao to come to Jingqiang Village was nothing more than to ask Zhong Hao to make a test and summarize some effective strategies. When their "Gentleman's Party" is in power in the future, Zhong Hao's experience and strategies can lay a good foundation for fully promoting the national policy of attacking Hengshan.

Zhong Hao's dispatch in Hexi was not only the owner of Jingqiang Village, but also the dispatch of Gougu Yehe Tuntian. The Guye River is not a small river basin, and Zhong Hao plans to take a look at it this time and look for a place to build a fortress.

Although Zhong Hao has no strategic action in the Hengshan area for the time being, Fu Bi is still very satisfied with Zhong Hao's work this year. In just one year, Jingqiang Village has been built from scratch, and it has been built quite well, and the Pingxi Army, which has no combat power, has also been trained by Zhong Hao to be quite combative, which is not a small achievement. Especially last winter, Zhong Hao led the Pingxi Army to sweep and wipe out the cottages in the north of Luliang in a very short period of time, which really impressed Fu Bi.

During the Chinese New Year, Fu Bi fully affirmed Zhong Hao's achievements this year and encouraged Zhong Hao to make persistent efforts.

Fu Bi once told Zhong Hao that this spring he also planned to transfer another Xiang army, the Pingrong Army, which lived in Hedong, to Zhong Hao for Tuntian affairs. Fu Bi also planned to let Zhong Hao build another fortress on the bank of the Kuye River, and instructed Zhong Hao to build it in the upper reaches of the Kuye River, closer to Hengshan, so that it would be convenient to recruit and collect the Shengqiang and Tibetan tribes nearby.

On Zhong Hao's way to Hengshan this time, Zhong Hao planned to take a look at it by the way to see if there was a suitable place to build a fortress.

This time he went to the Hengshan area, Zhong Hao planned to go to Linzhou first, following the Yang family's caravan. After all, most of the Hengshan area is considered the boundary of Western Xia, and without the relationship of the Yang family's caravan, it is estimated that it will be difficult to move an inch if you go alone.

If he had the opportunity, he also wanted to follow the Yang family caravan to Silver Star and City by the way. It definitely takes a lot of money to build a fortress, and Zhong Hao wants to see if there is any suitable business to do with the Tangut people, and it is also good to earn some money from the Tangut people.

Now that the training of the middle camp has already been formalized, Yang Huaiyu has nothing to do in Jingqiang Village, since Zhong Hao is going to Hengshan to go around, Yang Huaiyu is also the master who can't be idle, so he plans to go to Hengshan with him.

A lot of soju from the Jingqiang Village Shochu Workshop has been saved, and it happened to be brought to Linzhou to hand over to the Yang family's caravan.

In addition to soju, Zhong Hao went to Linzhou this time, and also brought Yang Wenguang twenty newly cast horse chopping knives, as well as five boxes of earth-shaking thunder, which were very rare things in the Zhenxi Army.

Of course, Zhong Hao couldn't give these things to Yang Wenguang for nothing, he had to at least exchange them for dozens of swallow wing crossbows for himself, and Zhong Hao planned to give them to him.

Zhong Hao went to the Hengshan area this time, in addition to taking Wang San with his guards, he also asked Zheng Feng to accompany twenty elites from the middle battalion, and the defense of Jingqiang Village was handed over to Cui Feng to be responsible, and other matters were temporarily handled by Zheng Wentao.

Cui Feng felt that Zhong Hao had too few people with him, and it was a little unsafe, so he suggested that he bring some.

However, Zhong Hao felt that it didn't make much sense to bring too much. Most of the Hengshan area was nominally part of the Western Xia, but in fact most of them were occupied by the Shengqiang tribe, while the Great Song Dynasty had little control and influence over the Hengshan region except for a few nail strongholds such as Dashun City and Qingjian City that protruded into the Hengshan area. I brought these people myself, mainly to guard against small bandits. If you encounter the cavalry of the Western Xia Brigade and embarrass yourself, you will bring more people and deliver food to others, which will have no effect.

Besides, I went with the Yang family caravan this time, the Yang family caravan is familiar with the Western Xia side, and the official army of the Western Xia should not embarrass them, there has been no accident so many times, and there will naturally be no problem this time. Moreover, the Yang family caravan also has a large number of guards, and the small group of bandits naturally does not pay attention to it. Since there is a Yang family caravan covering, Zhong Hao naturally doesn't need to bring any more manpower.

The group followed the official road on the bank of the Guye River and quickly rode to Linzhou, and along the way, Zhong Hao kept paying attention to check whether there was a suitable place to build a fortress.

Fu Bi means that this newly built fortress is best to be as close to the Hengshan area as possible, and the closer it is, the closer it will be, the more it can be near to appease and collect the Qiang and Tibetan departments in the Hengshan area.

However, Zhong Hao also had his own considerations, after all, the closer he was to the Hengshan area, the more dangerous it became.

Zhong Hao didn't want to put himself in danger, he didn't come to Hexi for any national policy, but for personal happiness and to please his father-in-law. If you leave your life here, what happiness is there to talk about?

After checking all the way, Zhong Hao felt that it was still near Qingyang Cliff between Linzhou City and Yincheng County.

There are generally three kinds of site selection for the fortress of the Great Song Dynasty.

One is built in the river valley area. This kind of fort is mainly used to control traffic roads and facilitate tuntian. The northwest is full of ravines, and the main road is mainly built in the river valley, and the fortress is built in the river valley area, which is convenient for controlling the traffic road, and the terrain of the river valley area is generally very flat, which is convenient for tuntian;

There is also a kind of fortress is built on a steep cliff, the focus of this fortress is self-protection and defense, most of this fortress is built in the dangerous place of the Song and Xia borders, in addition to being used to hold the throat of the Tangut people's march, there is also a great warning effect;

The last one is built at the junction of the river valley and the nearby high mountains, stretching from the top of the mountain to the river valley.

As for the site selection of the fortress, the main factors that need to be considered are the water source and the tuntian, and strive to be close to the water source and a large number of fertile land, so as to facilitate survival and food production. For example, Yongning Village, which is very close to Jingqiang Village on Yongxing Military Road, has a fortress located on the bank of the river, and there is a special passage leading to the shore, so you can get water without leaving the village.

In fact, Jingqiang Village can be regarded as the last fortress site selection model. It can be used to guard the official road, and it can be used to close to Tuntian. Moreover, Jingqiang Village is geographically close to the Guye River and backed by Tiantai Mountain, so it can be attacked and defended. Moreover, there are wells in Jingqiang Village, which is not afraid of being cut off by the enemy when it is besieged, which is more secure and safe than the Yongning Village River water.

The site near the Qingyang Cliff in Zhong Haoxiang's view for the construction of the fortress is the same as the Jingqiang Village, which has all the conditions for the site selection of the last kind of fortress.

Qingyang Cliff is not a mountain cliff, but a large dry plateau. Build a fortress here, not only next to the Guye River, but also backed by the Qingyang Cliff as a barrier, there are large pieces of wasteland for reclamation, and it is located between Yincheng County and Linzhou City, which can be each other's horns and take care of each other.

Of course, the reason why Zhong Hao fell in love with this place is that Qingyang Cliff is relatively safe here, because it has Linzhou City as a barrier to the north, and Yincheng County as a barrier to the west. Although it is not absolutely safe, at least when the Tangut people came, there were barriers in both the north and the west, so they did not have to bear the brunt of the attack, and it was relatively safe, which was the most important thing.

As for recruiting and collecting the Hengshan Shengqiang Department nearby, this Qingyang Cliff is not far from Hengshan, and it won't take an hour or two for the fast horse to arrive.

It was already in the afternoon when he came to Linzhou City, and Zhong Hao asked people to bring the gifts they brought, led by Yang Huaiyu, to meet Yang Wenguang. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
