Shi Zhong reminded: "After the sailor broke the three major military divisions, he still had to attack Xingqing Mansion to leave spare strength, he was worried that the four major military divisions would return to help, consume his ammunition, and make him unable to break through Xingqing Mansion, so there was the children's sentence: If you are not careful, you will break the Hetao."

Zhi Keshi pointed to the river and added: "That's right, if the navy has the spare strength to break the three major military divisions, it must need a huge fleet, this fleet can only attack when the river is the most prosperous in spring, in this case, Zhao Liren has more than enough to protect himself, once the attack is not resisted, as long as the fleet turns around and goes down the surging river, how can the Xia people help him, so he said: If the attack is not defeated, the Hetao will be broken." ”

The excitement of being excited by this collision of ideas in the seed master was inexplicable, and his thoughts were like springs: "That's right, the five-way attack on Xia, although the task undertaken by the sailor is heavy, but it is more than enough to protect itself, Zhao Liren's powerful gunboat is not something that the Western Xia people can resist, as long as he breaks through the barrier of the three major military divisions and passes through the shallow water area, he can conquer Xingqing Mansion." Once Xingqing Mansion was captured, the back roads of the four major military divisions were cut off, and then, the naval army invigorated the whole game: if it attacked to the south and cooperated with the other roads to annihilate the four major military divisions, half of the military strength of Western Xia would have been wiped out. At this moment, the river is in hand, and Xixia is just an old dog that is still breathing.

But if he continues to attack north, he ......"

"Wonderful, it's a wonderful hand!" Zhi Keshi kept high-fived and praised: "I need to attack to the north, he only needs to go south, and take the rest of the four soldiers and horses into the Hetao, even if the Xixia people flee north into the desert Hanhai, what big waves can the Xixia without the Hetao turn over, there is no need for Zhao Liren to continue to act, you and I will all take this war engineering department!"

Haha, I waited in Yan, and I also felt the convenience of water transportation, I didn't think of using the waterway to attack Xia, the Xixia people didn't even have very few fishing boats, how could I have thought that we could attack Dongshengzhou against the river Now the key issue is Dongshengzhou, as long as Dongshengzhou is done, the three major military divisions seem to be powerful, but if Zhao Liren presides, it will not be a problem for the navy to break through their barriers. Do you think they can use any obstruction to intercept the Jiangxindi cannon with war horses? ”

The seed master praised: "Guo Guangsheng is full of military books, and he is my favorite general, no wonder even he can't think of a way to deal with it...... He has been trained in Hangzhou, since the Hangzhou officials proposed to attack the summer by water, with his carefulness, he must have checked the power of the gunboats with his own eyes, there will be absolutely no mistake, I heard that Zhao Liren once boasted in Yangzhou, his sailors fought all over the world invincible, since he dared to pack tickets, and there are so many conveniences, these five ways to attack the summer, will definitely succeed...... It's just that with such a clever plan, why didn't he mention it to the Secret Academy? ”

Zhi Keshi was stunned for a moment, he pondered for a while, and immediately figured it out: "I heard that Zhao Liren hated the big mouth of the Privy Council, and the Liao people and Xixia people all had embassies in the capital, but the people of the Privy Council were not careful to speak, and they could get the court chapter by Goolan Vashe, which made Zhao Liren very unhappy, so he deducted the design of the musket and resolutely refused to give it to the court." At present, the imperial court can only purchase from the Quang Nam Ordnance Bureau. Fortunately, he agreed that the imperial court would appoint officials from the Quang Nam Ordnance Bureau, and the imperial court was willing to give up.

I guess this time he took advantage of the opportunity of training to secretly reveal this plan to the relevant parties, Qin Feng passed through Liu Zhongwu, and maybe he also received some mission...... Winter offensive, when did Liu Zhongwu become so bold? ”

The seed master raised his face to the sky and laughed heartily: "My Emperor Song and the Western Xia have been entangled for more than a hundred years, as soon as this plan is proposed, the dark clouds all over the world will drift away...... Commander Zhe, you report to the imperial court and ask me to transfer the three armies to Hangzhou next year. ”

Zhe Keshi smiled. Answer: "You have to find a reason......

Zhe Keshi said so. It's because he knows Zhao Xingdi's temper. I also know the attitude of the imperial court. Zhao Xing reorganized the imperial army. It's never free. The cost of land is always deducted from the taxes paid by the imperial court. Therefore, if Shaanxi brazenly proposes to transfer troops to Hangzhou, it will be moved. The imperial court was inevitably worried that the Yongxing military route would send soldiers to move Rong to occupy the imperial court's territory. Hand it over like this. Definitely not approved.

Furthermore. Although the Western Xia signed an armistice treaty with the Song Dynasty. However, the Tangut people have never kept their promises to the national traditions. They signed an armistice. Routine aggression proceeded as usual. Just after the agreement is signed. The scale of the invasion is much smaller than before. In this situation of constant fighting. The Shaanxi side suddenly stated that it would send part of its troops to Hangzhou for training. The imperial court can't help but speculate whether there is something hidden in it. Maybe there is some collusion between the two sides.

The planters disagreed. He waved his hand: "This reason makes Zhao Liren think about it." You and I just have to make the request. ”

Zhe Keshi pondered and said, "Go and send him a letter first......

As he spoke. Zhi Keshi caught a glimpse of Zhi Kebao walking into this sand table room with a look of surprise on his face. He stopped talking. Rhetorical question: "What is the alarm?" ”

Zhe Kebao replied: "Strangely, there is a Tatar tribe that has suddenly submitted an application for entry...... The Tatars have always been in the habit of plundering, how rare is it so polite? It's rare to talk about rules like this, which makes people wonder. ”

The Tatar application for entry was written on a parchment scroll, and the planter reached out to take it, unfolded it, and as soon as the file was opened, he sighed in surprise: "It turned out to be a document written in Song?" When did the Tatars also know how to write documents in the Song language? ”

After reading the document, the planter said no, and handed the document to Zhe Keshi with his backhand, and folded the document to expand it, read it carefully, and closed the document in shock, saying: "Abnormal, too abnormal, this Tatar said that it was the old department of Mogus, I remember that Mogus has been executed in Liao, how can his old department still exist."

Suspicious, they actually said that they accepted Qin Fenglu's invitation and asked to enter and migrate from my Yanlu to Qinfeng Road to help Liu Zhongwu, which is too suspicious. Tribal migrations generally occur in the spring, but now it is winter. Privately invited the Tatars to enter the country, he Liu Zhongwu is a cowardly person, otherwise he would not have let Gao Yongnian blindly command, resulting in the defeat of Huaidong, and now he dares to summon foreign races to enter the country to help fight in Tibet without going through the Privy Council, suspicious!

The Tatars made a living by plundering and let them enter, and how to prevent this along the way, the imperial court knew ......"

The planter suddenly interrupted the words: "Let them submit the relevant certificates, and tell them that as long as the documents are complete, they will be allowed to cross the state through the state." ”

Zhi Keshi looked at the seed master in amazement, and the seed master with a faint smile explained: "You just said 'abnormal', if something is abnormal, it is a demon, who is the first demon in the Great Song Dynasty, you and I both know it."

I was still wondering just now, how could Liu Zhongwu suddenly make a decision and go to Qinfeng Road, and now he understands the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty

Cold, only the old Mogus Department is tenacious and war-resistant, they were born by Western Xia and Liao, and they can have a foothold, which is worthy of the whole clan to fight for their lives, this is the main force of Liu Zhongwudi.

That's right, tribal migration is generally spring, but there is an advantage to letting the Tatars enter in winter, the winter is cold, the field is covered with snow, the Tatars have nothing to grab, they can only follow the supply route we provide, and this group of Tatars is desperate, and only the risk of migrating in the winter is such a thing that only Zhao Liren dares to do. ”

Zhi Keshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up: "Tatars, this group of people should be wandering in Dongsheng Prefecture, entering the Song Realm from Dongsheng Prefecture, and the nearest road should be the Volcano Army...... Zhao Liren has already moved, this group of Tatars must have broken into the territory of Western Xia from Dongshengzhou, and then risked all odds to enter the Yanlu border! Let's go, let's see. ”

The number of Tatars in this group is not large, the total number is only more than 5,000 people, the leading is a thousand cavalry, the division looks up and down, and feels that the equipment of this thousand cavalry is very simple, most of them only have a bow in their hands, and there are only a few ten arrows in the sword pot, and it can be judged from the production of arrow feathers that the arrows of this kind of arrows must be made of bone.

In the cold winter, this group of people is dressed in thick sheepskins, many of which have not been treated, and even carry plate oil on the top and bottom. They wore heavy hoods, with only two eyes exposed, and hoarfrost around them.

Zhi Keshi looked at them one by one, and he whispered: "Sure enough, it is the end of the road, there are many strong women among the thousand cavalry, and even the children have been pulled into battle, which means that this clan has reached the end of the road." ”

The Tatar cavalry leader quietly waited for the lieutenant general to finish looking at them, and when the lieutenant general stared at himself, he urged the war horse, stepped forward and muttered a verbal language, the lieutenant shook his head slightly, expressing his puzzlement, the cavalry leader turned his hand to summon a child in the team, this child was not very old, more than ten years old, dressed very gorgeously, but in the cold north wind frozen two faces blue, he urged the horse forward, his lips trembled and spoke, what he said was actually Song language.

"A few years ago, our clan rescued a caravan on the grassland, which was the greatest luck of our clan, because this caravan belonged to the land of Lord Zhao of Huanqing Jinglu. In another year, our clan attacked Western Xia, which happened to cooperate with the attack of Lord Zhao, the envoy of Huanqing Jing. Afterwards, a caravan approached us and told us a promise.

A number of years have passed, and our clan thought that this agreement had long been forgotten, but not long ago, a caravan found us and invited us to live in a place where the water and grass in Qingtang were abundant. ”

The planter shook his head slightly: "Broken Journey, do you still have the ability to fulfill the agreement?" ”

The seed master did not ask what the agreement was, because Zhao Xing had made a private appointment with the foreign race behind the back of the imperial court, and it was impossible to leave evidence with his caution, so he had asked the Tatars to provide proof before, which was an empty word. He guessed that this desperate tribe wanted to go to Qingtang desperately, and planned to exchange their blood for a place to live in the future, but the current situation of this tribe was not good, so he said that the other party was unable to fulfill its promise.

The child smiled and replied: "I don't know the content of this agreement, the agreement is: the Tatar people set up a tribal leader who understands the Song language, and obey this leader, and Lord Zhao is responsible for providing a piece of rich water and grass Mu Yuan's mother is a Song person, belonging to the forty-third concubine of the first king, and has been educated in Central Plains poetry and literature since childhood, and I wrote the entry document just now. Now I am the head of this tribe. ”

The planter was stunned for a moment, but he immediately stretched out his hand: "Welcome back to your homeland!" ”

The child shrugged his shoulders: "My homeland, this is the land where my mother lives, but not my homeland, I have heard my mother describe the beauty of this land since I was a child, but today I have set foot for the first time." ”

The seed master nodded slightly, and Zhi Keshi asked: "There must be a certificate, what you just said, there must be a certificate." ”

The child smiled lightly: "We came a little eagerly, the agreement is to arrive in Yan on November 16, and then someone will meet us, we are three days early, but we are thirsty and tired, and we are willing to stay at the border for three more days, I only hope that you will provide some crossbows so that we can have the ability to defend ourselves." ”

The seed master understood, and he nodded in appreciation: "Your mother must be a young lady from an official eunuch's family, she is very great, she is very great, and this official is eager to see her!" ”

The child smiled bitterly: "My mother was robbed, she was intolerant of the hunger and cold of the grassland, and died soon after giving birth to me, leaving only signs of her childhood in the king's heart......"

The seed master nodded: "I guess you also know that your entry must be approved by the Privy Council, and I don't know about the greeting team you said, but for the sake of you being a descendant of the Song people, I will allow you to enter the military camp in the city and station, cultivate and recuperate, and wait for the permission of the Privy Council." ”

After the seed master spoke, naturally some soldiers led them to the city to station, and after these tribesmen left, those officers who had returned from training in Hangzhou had already heard the news and gathered onlookers. With a thoughtful look, Guo Guangsheng stepped forward to remind: "On the 16th, this is the day when the Hangzhou material horse team arrived. ”

The seed master glanced at Guo Guangsheng, Zhe Keshi opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Zhi Kebao preemptively explained: "Lu Qiuguan is a secret spy of the Military Intelligence Department of the Nanyang Yamen, it is said that he is in charge of northern affairs, and I guess he is mainly responsible for the secret disc of the Western Xia side. ”

The seed master was silent, Zhe Keshi's lips moved, and he also learned to be silent in the middle of the seed master, Guo Guangsheng explained lightly: "Taishi once said to Liu Zhongwu in Hangzhou, a chicken in the Qingtang Dynasty has regained a rooster crow, and the court has not suppressed it very much, Chang'an's long-term policy is to support a new tribe, a tribe pro-Song Dynasty, and this tribe is best to migrate from elsewhere, only in this way, this new tribe can only rely on the Great Song Dynasty, and within thirty or fifty years, they can only gain a foothold in the Qingtang by herding horses for the Great Song Dynasty."

When Liu Zhongwu was at the General Staff Headquarters just now, he treated this issue as a topic and invited officers from the General Staff Headquarters to discuss it, but after that, he did not ask any more questions. ”

Guo Guangsheng is the commander of the soldiers and horses in Huizhou, and Huizhou belongs to Qin Fenglu, that is to say, he is an officer under Liu Zhongwu, and the situation of Liu Zhongwu he talked about is very important to the planters, he raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" ”
