When the news from Pharmacist Guo reached Lu Qian's hands, the time had already entered the end of April.

At this time, Lu Qian had already moved from Jiangling to Tanzhou, and the army had already killed Hengyang City, besieging the city for half a moon, but he never took it. Hengyang City is on the west side of Xiangshui, on the south bank of steaming water, and is adjacent to water on both sides. And the intersection of steaming water and Hunan water is the famous Shigu Academy.

Founded in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Shigu Academy is the birthplace of Huxiang culture and the first resort in Jingnan.

But during the war, this was the place where the Liangshan army had to seize Hengyang. Taking this place is at least to gain a foothold in the northeast corner of Hengyang City.

Zhao Huan has already left Hengyang, and has entered Fujian under the support of Liu Zhongwu, Liu Yanqing, Xu Huiyan, etc., and the one who stayed in Hengyang was the seed master, and his brother seed master led more than 10,000 western troops to defend Guiyang and Chenzhou.

The latter is mostly mountainous, located in the Wuling area, with many Miao Yao people, the situation is complicated, the terrain is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Among them, Guiyang Jian is an important silver-producing area in the Northern Song Dynasty in today's era, and a Guiyang Jian is the only state-level mine supervisor in the Central Plains, and there are four large-scale silver pits alone. At the same time, at the junction of Guiyang and Hengzhou, there is also a cocoon source silver field. There are more than 200 large and small copper pits. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, salt and iron made Li Xun reinstate Guiyang Prison in Pingyang, and minted 200,000 yuan a day with two furnaces. At that time, Li Tang was only 135,000 yuan. Guiyang prison accounted for half of it.

It is more important to pay attention to the fact that outside the three counties under the jurisdiction of Guiyang, there are more mountains.

It is the Wuling area, the road between Jingnan and Liangguang, with Jiangxiang, the control of Jiaoguang, the ridge opens and crosses the road, and the road turns Jingmen into the nine doubts. The land traffic is extended in all directions, from Guiyang to Pingyang to the east sixty-five miles to Chenzhou, through the avenue and north to Hengtan to Beijing Division, which is also the main road for Guiyang to enter Beijing and transshipment of goods. Therefore, the army of the Planter Dao is mainly stationed here.

There are two main roads to Nantong Guangnan East Road through Guiyang, one passes through the south of the prison ninety miles to the Xingjiang River and goes south to Shaozhou, one passes through Linwu to cross the small Guiling into Lianzhou, and then reaches Guangzhou by waterway, this road was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties, it is one of the two main avenues leading to Guangnan East Road from Jinghu South Road, and it is also the main channel for overseas trade of Guiyang Jian silver. The 5,000 taels of silver ingots originally from Guiyang Jian carried on the shipwreck of Intan salvaged in Indonesian waters in later generations were transported overseas through this road.

The southwest of Guiyang passes through the Blue Mountain, and there is also a major road in Quanzhou that leads to Guangnan West Road, and there is also a road in the northwest that leads to Yongzhou.

The main road to Hengzhou in the north through Pingyang Changning has been formed at the present time, and the northern part of Guibei in Qingli is entrenched by outlaws such as Huang Ghost Hunting, and this road was once interrupted, because this road has to pass through the Yao people gathering area, so this road has not been able to become the main channel of communication between Guiyang Jian and the northern region today. If you want to enter Guiyang, the smoothest road is to go down from Hengzhou to Chenzhou, and then turn east.

Compared with the land transportation in all directions, the waterway of Guiyang Prison is relatively backward, although there is Hengtang Water (Zhongshui) in the prison and the boat will flow north to reach Hengzhou, but it is subject to the obstruction of the Eighteen Beaches of Chungling, and the transportation capacity is very limited, so Zhu Tianxi said in "Guiyang Junchuang Tong Huicang Province": "According to Guiyang for the county, there are many mountains and few fields, heavy posts and mountains, and the boat is not passable."

It is also because it is located in a mountainous area, so it has always been the gathering of the children of Manyao. The Manyao rebellion continued. In particular, the neighboring Chenzhou Taiping, Yizhang Erxiang and Guiyang Prison Linwu Wutong and other places, its place is adjacent to the Ying, Shao, Lianzhou of the Guangnan East Road, during which the mountains are steep and dangerous, its people are many fierce, known as the hiding place of thieves, there is a small apology, then the small one hundred and ten are many, the big one is thousands, out of the mountains to rob.

Now that the Liangshan army has not taken Hengyang City, the big and small species have already taken the holy decree issued by Zhao Huan, and the official positions of the big and small have been issued to the leaders of the various tribes of Miao Yao without money.

There is only one purpose, to win them over as much as possible. even did not hesitate to give them semi-independent treatment in a certain sense.

At this time, it has been more than four months since Lu Qian sent his troops south, and in this small half a year, the situation in the Central Plains has changed greatly, and the momentum of Liangshan's army swallowing the world has been achieved.

Today's Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing armies have been driven by Lu Qian, and have already invaded the southwest area of Jinghu South Road, Lu Qian is in Tanzhou, and the army has reached Hengyang, making it clear that he wants to seize this place, continue to the south, and open the Lingnan passage in one fell swoop.

Stimulated by the Liangshan Army, the split of the Western Army, and the southward movement of the large and small races, the pressure on the western side of Manichaeism eased sharply. It was Fang La who quickly turned the spearhead and pointed directly at Taizhou. Li Heng's pressure has increased greatly.

At the same time, Chao Gai also took Zhu Tong and Li Ying as the vanguard, divided the army into two routes, and the army entered the Jiangnan West Road. At this time, most of the area was already occupied by the Liangshan army.

Lu Qian's army won one after another, and it was like a bamboo, sweeping Jinghu Lake and crisscrossing the south of the Yangtze River, which shocked the world.

The Manichaeans sent envoys one after another to visit Lu Qian, one of the purposes of which was to find out King Lu's true attitude towards them.

It can be said that the current state of affairs of Liang Shanjun has made all forces except him frightened.

Nalu Zhishen also took Suo Chao and Zhai Xing as generals to supervise the soldiers to fight Baoji. Xu Ning took the opportunity to lead his troops to Hanshui and enter Hanzhong. This series of changes made the great artists who had just settled in Chengdu like cats and dogs who had been stepped on their tails, frantically mobilizing the troops and material resources of Sichuan to help Guanzhong. At the same time, he also sent envoys to Dali to borrow troops from Dali.

This is a groundbreaking thing for Dali. The Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, the lord of the Central Plains, actually borrowed troops from Dali, a small remote country, which really made many people in Dali excited.

It's just that there are people in Dali who have sober brains after all, such as Duan Zhengyan, the king of Dali at this time, which is the prototype of Duan Yu, who is very familiar to later generations, and his real name is Duan Heyu.

This is a more virtuous monarch, the brain is clear, in the second year of Daguan (1108), his father Duan Zhengchun became a monk and ceded the throne to him. This man knew very well that establishing friendly relations with the Song Dynasty was the "foundation of the state" of the Duan clan. After all, it was not long after that Gao's usurpation of the country, even when Gao Shengtai was seriously ill, due to the opposition of the Yunnan tribes, Gao Shengtai asked his son Gao Taiming to return to the Duan's family, so Gao Taiming supported the abolition of the emperor Duan Zhengming's younger brother Duan Zhengchun as the emperor of Dali, but his Dali authority was still in the hands of Gao, known as the lord of Gao.

Duan Zhengyan was a very smart man, who worked hard in the government and loved the people, governed the country with kindness, and repeatedly asked for the reduction of forced labor and taxes in order to gain fame. so that all the people in Dali supported him very much; Outside, he paid tribute to the Song Dynasty many times, offered gifts and music, and won the favor of great artists. In recognition of Duan Zhengyan's obedience, Zhao Ji canonized him as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, the School Inspection Sikong, the Shangzhu State, the Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, and the King of Dali.

Therefore, Duan Zhengyan has always had old friends with great artists.

It's just that at this time, Duan Zhengyan and Gao Taiyun, who actually controlled Gao Taiyun [Gao Taiming has passed away], were clearly aware of Dali's weakness, and they were simply unable to support them to join in the Central Plains to fight for dragons.

When Zhengyan ascended the throne in that period, all parties paid tribute, paying tribute to gold and silver, Luo Qi, treasures, rhino elephants, and cattle and horses everywhere. However, the good times did not last long, in the first year of Zhenghe, the Dali earthquake, "damaged the sixteen temples", and there were countless bad houses. After the 37th Department of the East rebelled, Gao Taiming used troops to pacify. After Gao Taiming's death, Gao Zhichang, one of his eight sons, died in exile for his crimes. Under him, Gao Yi and Gao He conspired to take revenge, and took advantage of Duan Zhengyan to enter the temple to enter the incense, trying to kill Duan Zhengyan, but the matter was revealed and captured. Although Duan Zhengyan is righteous and forgive, he is a righteous mound. It seems to have calmed the conflict between Gao, but in fact, it has intensified the tension between Duan and Gao.

And until this year, the Muning, Yuan, Yi, Po, Ma and other tribes rebelled. In March, the Dali army went out to fight and was defeated. After the thirty-seven barbarians rebelled again. Dali is still in a hurry, how can he lend troops to Zhao Song?

Coupled with the secret conspiracy between Liao and Jin, Heng and Zhu were all stimulated by this, and each accelerated his pace.

There are also many interactions between Liaoxia.

Everyone understands that once Lu Qian unifies the Central Plains, he will have to march into the north, and the remaining fourteen states of the sixteen states of Youyun in the Liao State will inevitably be the side of the Liangshan army; Not to mention the Western Xia. The Jin State not only wanted to inherit the Khitan territory and influence on the grassland, but also was reluctant to the prosperous Nanjing Road and Xijing Road.

The Khitan occupies the sixteen states of Youyun and has the absolute geographical advantage of marching into the Central Plains, which can make Zhao Song unable to raise his head, and the Jurchens have no ambition to go south to the Central Plains and drink the Yangtze River at this moment, but they must also hope to have the deterrent power of the Han dynasty in the Central Plains when the Khitan was in its heyday.

I don't know how many people in Liao Jinxia are praying that Lu Qian can 'love each other' with Zhao Song for decades, so that they can get what they want.

Fang La, Zhong Xiang, Wang Qing and even Tian Hu must be secretly cursing Lu Qian, hoping that he can die young, just like the original Later Zhou Shizong. From the succession to his death, it was only five or six years, just like Lu Qian's current situation. Shangcang took Chai Rong's life, leaving orphans and widows to be seized by Zhao Kuangyin.

It's a pity that Lu Qian's body has always been healthy, and he hasn't even had a single illness in these years.

There are six in thirty years, and they can also say that they are heroic, and the military generals are like rain and clouds, with full wings and deep roots. Except for the young successor, the Lu dynasty has no flaws.

At this time, in the city of Tanzhou.

Lu Qian did not live in the state office, but settled in a rich place. There is a half-acre pool in the backyard, facing the water pavilion, the breeze blows, the pond water fluctuates, and the reflection of the cloister pavilion swings with the waves on the lake. In the pool, the lotus leaves are surging with the waves, and the sound of the water is one, which brings coolness.

At the end of April, it was already hot. The land of Jingnan is cloudy and rainy, but the climate is not cool at all, but more humid and sultry.

If it weren't for the Liangshan Army's effective logistics and strict requirements, the soldiers were not allowed to drink raw water, defecate in a concentrated manner, and pay attention to cleanliness, and the hygiene in the army could be said to be the best in the modern era, and it would be difficult to guarantee that the epidemic would have occurred in the army.

Even so, from Hengyang to Tanzhou and Yuezhou, there were soldiers who were sick, and most of them were fever, diarrhea, vomiting and other lesions.

"King Qiyu, General Song Wan has escorted Yaozi to the outside of Tanzhou City."

Lu Qian was enjoying the shade in the water pavilion, and suddenly he came to report. But it was he who asked the gunpowder to be transferred to the rear had already arrived in Tanzhou.

"Tell Song Wan that there is no need to visit the city, and go south quickly. When the war is won, the king will give him another way to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

Touching the heavens and moving to the clouds, King Kong and Song Wan in the clouds, these two have long since withdrawn from the center of power. When Liang Shanbo was in the back then, they had already disappeared, and the ranking of the chairs in the cottage was the second brother's New Year, and there was no year left.

But the two of them are people that Lu Qian can trust.

At the beginning, Shuibo Cottage was small, and there was no place to properly house them. But now the area is vast, and there are many departments, and this kind of ability is not strong, but the loyal people are more resettled in the local area.

For example, the granary arsenal inside and outside Yidu City, for example, the city defense ...... in Yidu City, there are many credible people needed.
