Chapter 752: Wang Yang who decided to inspect the three states in advance (second update)
Chapter 752
Then, after drawing another one, the second relatively intact sample and the precious map of China were locked in a wooden box and locked in a box.
And after using the Go chess pieces next to the desk to estimate the marching routes of the soldiers and horses of the northern tribes of Northern Liao, as well as the southward route of the soldiers and horses of the Liao State in Shangjing, Wang Yang's face became more and more gloomy.
Because, the direction predicted by Wang Yang is the Hedong Road of the Great Song Dynasty, which is now the area that Han Zhongyan has pacified.
The Great Song Dynasty has arranged nearly 200,000 elite forbidden and border troops on the Hedong Road alone, plus Han Zhongyan, an old qualified minister who has great prestige and is good at using soldiers, is stationed in the Liao State, and it is not realistic for the Liao State to take advantage of the hands of the Han Lao, who has a heavy army in his hands, and after a hundred years of repair, the defense line has already been impregnated.
So what is it for? Wang Yang always had an ominous premonition, or his superhuman keen sixth sense made him always feel that it was very likely that these armies of Northern Liao were not going towards the well-guarded Hedong Road, but towards the three states that had just been seized by the Great Song Dynasty.
If it is really coming towards this side, then, at most, it will take less than twenty days to work, and this army will enter the territory of Western Xia and march under the city of Youzhou.
Wang Yang took a deep breath. The finger tapped lightly on the case, and all the questions were just speculations made by himself based on a few pieces of information.
If you really want to report your speculation to the court, it is very likely that you will be mistreated by those guys, not to mention that Yelu Hongji, the son of Northern Liao, seems to have never had a large-scale conflict with the Song State in history.
Could it be that he didn't come for himself, but for Xixia? Today's Western Xia is no better than the Reservoir Dogs. The important thing is that under the situation of losing troops and losing strength, for Liao, it is really like a fat meat bone.
After all, what the Western Xia possessed was the Hetao, a fertile land for water and grass, which could grow grain or graze cattle and horses.
Master Wang was entangled until the middle of the moon, so he couldn't support it, so he slept in the study.

Three days later, Zhi Keshi, who hurriedly returned to Yanzhou from New Yanzhou, came to Wang Yang. "I heard that you are going to inspect Youzhou and Hongzhou, what is the matter, didn't we already say that we will set off after June?"
"Now everything in Yanzhou is on the right track, and the construction work in the new Yanzhou is also very smooth, now is a relatively quiet day, and after June, I have to prepare for the autumn harvest, so I think it is most appropriate to visit Youyou and Hongerzhou now." Wang Yang explained towards the dusty Zhe Keshi.
"Is that really what it's for? Why do I think there is nothing wrong with what you say? Zhi Keshi looked at Wang Yang with some suspicion, this guy suddenly changed his mind, was it just for such a simple reason? I'm afraid I don't even believe it when I say it.
"Didn't you say before that the ginning machinery factory was very busy and needed to recruit a large number of workers, why did you claim to be idle in a blink of an eye?"
"That kind of small thing, just leave it to my subordinates to do, if I mix too much, doesn't it mean that I don't trust Gao Xiu's ability?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes angrily and said.
"Besides, it's been almost a month since Gao Shi went to the land of Hong and You, although he has been writing frequently to report that it has gone well, but this official, as a tristate Jingluo appeasement, can't help but say something, right?"
"Yes, you have a reason to say it, so let's go together, and I also have to inspect the repair and maintenance work of the walled forts." Fold can only be helpless.
"That's why I want you to come here, little brother. In such a land of three states, government and military affairs are all grass-roots, and we should work together. Wang Yang agreed when he saw it, and couldn't help but smile.
It complements each other with this product many times, and the cooperation is very pleasant, and the important thing is that Wang Yang's inspection is not just a superficial reason.
It's just that some things are really hard to say now, and if you really want to say something you can't be sure of, you will be regarded as bragging by others. So Wang Yang thinks it's better to bury it deep in his heart.
Surrounded by a thousand elite cavalry, the two left Yanzhou and headed straight for Hongzhou, which was mostly plain or hilly between the two states.
It took less than three days for the group to rush to the city of Hongzhou. Outside Hongzhou, the original garrison camp has now become a colorful place that almost makes people think it is a refugee camp.
Huang Shouxin, the general of Hongzhou who rushed over after receiving the news, sentenced Dong Qun and Gao Shize, who happened to be dealing with the immigration issue in Hongzhou, went out of the city for ten miles to meet Wang Yang and his party.
"Why are they still here, didn't they say before that they would move to Youzhou?" Wang Yang looked at this refugee camp-like place, couldn't help frowning, and asked Huang Shouxin and the others.
"My lord, the vast majority of those who are still here are Tubo people, and most of those party members have already gone to Youzhou, but these Tubo people are unwilling to leave, and several tribal leaders hope that we can agree to let them continue to live in this Hongzhou land. No matter how much you persuade you, you can't persuade you to leave......" Hongzhou Tong sentenced Dong Qun with a somewhat helpless wry smile.
"These Tibetan people want to stay here to live? Why is this happening......" Wang Daguan asked with a confused expression. Among the population that he had calculated before, there were only Han people, but there was no plan to leave these Tibetan aliens.
Gao Shi next to him cleared his throat and stood up and patiently explained. "My lord, in fact, this is the case, these Tubo people have always been more honest than those party people, and the Tubo people, like the Han people, are mostly servants of those party members, domestic slaves or tenants."
"Now our Great Song Dynasty's attitude towards the party members, they also see it, and they seem to think that it is more cost-effective to stay in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty than to follow those party members to defect to Western Xia, so ......"
"So, after the last general discussed with the two adults, I will leave them here for the time being, and then see how to report to the adults, but I didn't expect that you and General Zhe would come so quickly." Huang Shouxin also said on the side.
"My lord, among these Tibetan people, many of them are good at grazing, the last general thought to let them stay first, in case my Great Song Dynasty has another victory, seize the city and take the land, when the time comes, let these Tibetan people graze cattle and sheep for our Great Song Dynasty......"
"Okay, since you think it's okay, let's do it first, but you remember, you must screen me carefully, and don't have any accidents." Wang Yang finally agreed with this brother's thoughts and opinions in his heart.
"Thank you, my lordship, the two adults have been driving all the way, please enter the city to rest quickly......" Hearing Wang Yang's relief, the three of them couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and hurriedly invited Wang Yang and others to enter the city.
