Xing stood up, turned around a few times in place, and immediately asked again: "Dong is missing?" ”

Yuan Yeping shook his head: "Jingdong West Road, Jingdong East Road, and Huaixi Road all belong to the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, and we have always been bad at interfering in it, after General Xiaoshi learned from us, he knew most of the officers of the Military Intelligence Department here, and we sent people there, and they were too familiar with each other, and they were embarrassed not to say hello when they met, so they sent several groups of people, all of whom were drunk by General Xiaoshi, and sent them out of the country ......as a gift."

Zhao Xing stomped his feet and scolded: "Stupid fool, the road leads to the sky in one direction, how could the bandits happen to know the news of the birth gang, how can such an obvious clue be ignored, you inform them, check if anyone knows the route of the birth gang, and they will definitely find clues." ）”

Yuan Yeping's eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped his thigh: "That's right, I heard that the escort officer is named the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, who is the new arrival of the Daimyo's mansion, and the legend is that he is still the descendant of Yang Yanzhao Yang Linggong, he came forward to escort the birth gang, and the only condition is that the escort route is formulated by him for the local army!" For the sake of safety, Yang Zhi had to inform the local armies in advance every time he went to a place, and those who escorted him accused Yougan that he didn't even know the route he was traveling, so it was impossible to plan in advance, and he ambushed the manpower, only the local armies could be notified in advance!

It's them, it's them, it's only possible that they leaked the whereabouts of the birth gang in advance, Yang Zhi's martial arts are extraordinary, and the soldiers escorted are all carefully selected by him, and only the local armies have the courage and ability to dare to challenge Yang Zhi. ”

Yang Yanzhao's original name was Yang Yanlang, since Song Zhenzong pretended to recognize Zhao Xuanlang, one of the emperors in Taoist legends, as his ancestor, and the famous general Yang Yanlang "committed the name of the holy ancestor in the next word, and changed it to Yanzhao". The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi cannot be the descendant of Yang Yanzhao, because in this era, Yang Yanzhao, or the only descendant of the legendary Yang family general, is Yang Zuren, and now this person is serving as the commander of the soldiers and horses in Hangzhou, and if you want to find him, you don't need to go anywhere else, just in the office on the third floor of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau.

However, Zhao Xing did not investigate in detail whether Yang Zhi was the descendant of the Yang family, because the ancients always liked to pretend to be a celebrity as an ancestor, and even Song Zhenzong, who was the emperor, could not be spared, let alone the common people. Yang Zhi pretended to be Yang Yanzhao's descendants, it was just a matter of arrogance, why bother taking it seriously.

"That's right, according to the usual practice, to escort such a valuable cargo, it is inevitable that officials will use their authority to live in the post station for safety. In this era, there is a lack of means of communication, Yang Zhi stays overnight and leaves, and it is impossible for the people of the post station to publicize the affairs of his land to all mankind, and they do not have this ability. Therefore, the news may have leaked from two aspects: the post station system and the local military system.

According to the usual practice, after receiving a guest, the post station should ask the guest about the arrangements for the next stop, if it is a high-ranking official or dignitary, in order to tie the knot, they will notify the next stop in advance to prepare, so the next stop will know the news of their arrival a day in advance, but the day is too short, and if they want to challenge Yang Zhi's huge escort team, the bandits generally do not have the courage or the mind. Therefore, only the military system is suspicious of this.

Go and check where Yang Zhi's last post station was, and the place where he had an accident must not be far from the next post station. Because according to the usual practice, Yang Zhi had to report his safety to Liang Zimei whenever he went to a place, and he also had to notify the troops at the next resting point in advance, so that they could prepare to respond. Although the route he chose was decided by himself, I heard that he was born as an officer, and people from military officers inevitably have some mindsets, and the path he chose is nothing more than a few important roads, which are clues, and if you go to the most remote and sparsely populated roads of several major roads, you can always find clues.

Other than that. There is also a clue on the cargo above. I heard that Liang Zimei was secretly carrying out our country's policy of economic aggression in the Daimyo's Mansion. It is precisely because of this important responsibility that he shoulders. And it's done brilliantly. So Senior Brother Huang let him go. I think he knows the temper. I also know my hobbies. Therefore, the goods he sent must be the most rare and expensive thing in Liao, and he is reselling Liao's pearls. There must be a large number of ground pearls in the cargo. The location of the loss of ground is inland. Find out if any of your customers have suddenly sold large quantities of pearls. He must be suspicious. At least the stolen goods sellers. ”

Zhao Xing finished speaking. Yuan Yeping had already sighed again and again: "The Birth Gang is missing. At first glance, I don't have a clue. Let the captain analyze this. Clues everywhere. The criminals in this case are simply about to come out. Tai Lieutenant has the ability to analyze things. I was simply breathtaking...... The next official went to inform the people from Shandong. Let them check these points. ”

Yuan Ye Ping went quickly. The return to the ground is also very fast. He turned around and returned to Zhao Xingdi's office. With an incredible look on his face. Report: "Captain." It's just amazing. Shandong already has clues. The news they reported was exactly as expected by Taiweidi, and the person in charge of this matter was Jingdong Jingxi Road, Yunzhou, to catch thieves and observe He. Ho observed that a large number of pearls were being sold. I feel weird. Investigate again. Now it is the Yuncheng Office Songjiangdi Manor that is selling. This person is not in business. How to sell a large number of pearls.

He observed it again and examined it in detail. Now those pearls are from the Wa Kingdom. It was Liang Zimei who was ready to resell to Liao Guodi. He carefully selected the pearls that were resold to the Liao Kingdom. Pick out 200 large and round beads. As a birthday compendium, it was sent to the Taishi to celebrate his birthday. This batch of beads is on the stolen catalog. It won't be that coincidental. The forefoot was stolen. On the back foot, someone sold more than 100 beads of unknown origin.

He observed the summons office Song Jiang. I accidentally leaked the news. That Song Jiang had already abandoned his official position and absconded. Some of the stolen land in his home has been born. The truth of this case has been revealed: Song Jiang is in charge of official correspondence. Champerty litigation. He used his position. Got a pre-knowledge of the possible route of the Birth Tsunade. A gang of bandits gathered. Prepare for the robbery. Received a message from the head of the team in Shouzhang County, a neighboring place. Immediately dispatch personnel to intercept it. In Haohanpo, he turned over the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi with sweat medicine. Kidnapped the Birth Gang. ”

Zhao Xing asked urgently: "Why is Yang Zhi's whereabouts unknown?" ”

Yuan Yeping then reported: "According to the confession of the villager who did not escape in Song Jiangzhuang, Song Jiang did not kill Yang Zhi at that time, and Yang Zhi felt that it was important to surrender after the incident, so he absconded in fear of crime. And the rest of the people were too afraid that Taiwei and Liang Zhong would be investigated afterwards, so they absconded together. ”

Zhao Xing sighed It turns out that this is the case, the robbery of Chao Gai and Song Jiang is two different robberies, and the real history is not clear about this, because of Uncle Zhang. Zhang Shuye is the governor of the state, and Song Jiang is his subordinate, taking over the lawsuit for him and accepting the usual practice, so Zhang Shuye was vague about the reason for Song Jiang's accident afterwards, and even a few years later, he recruited the thief by capturing Song Jiang's deputy and completely covered up the matter.

If the entire Great Song Dynasty is compared to a limited liability company, Song Jiang, a company employee, took the company's salary, but privately divulged the company's secrets, organized people to rob the company's property, and absconded afterwards. In the past, it was believed that Song Jiang's behavior reflected the voice of the working masses and was a good example for the general public to learn, but he was not a qualified employee in the company.

Zhao Xing can imagine that Song Jiang was born in the official class, and after he absconded, he used the emotional intelligence of the underworld to immediately recruit a group of former government officials who had absconded for committing dereliction of duty, embezzlement, and various crimes......

Zhao Xing calmed down and asked calmly, "How."

So fast? ”

Yuan Yeping replied: "This matter is related to the captain, Hou Meng and Zhang Shuye dispatched the cavalry, General Xiaoshi also sent a cavalry gunner, the government layer by layer, the local did not dare to slack off, He observed that after the case was solved, the cavalry dispatched very quickly, Song Jiang fled alone, most of the Zhuang guests were captured, and afterwards the cavalry pursued, and Song Jiang fled into the nearby Liangshanbo, the reeds in the berth were thick, and the cavalry did not dare to go deeper, Zhang Shuye requisitioned the boats, but the Liangshan Bo water thieves were vertical and horizontal, the silt was very deep, and outsiders did not dare to enter the ...... easily."

Liangshanbo is a swamp formed by the bursting of the Yellow River, where the water conditions are indeed complex and varied, and because it is a swampy area in a densely populated area, the local people are desperately trying to reclaim the lake, which, according to normal history, is gradually drying up, and will become a mud pond and then land in a hundred years. Such a drastic swamp is indeed not suitable for the invasion of large armies, which is why successive officials stopped outside Liangshanbo.

Zhao Xing heard this and smiled coldly: "So, the Chaogai bandits and the Songjiang bandits have merged, and since then these two bandits have made a living by robbing passing merchants, what is the crime of the merchants, to be killed and robbed by them, and this kind of killing is also called 'justice'?" ”

Yuan Yeping snorted coldly: "What justice, the bandits are righteous, who dares to say that?" ”

After a pause, Yuan Yeping immediately added: "Now the east and west roads of Beijing are no longer the same, since the Bohai State vigorously exchanged good horses for ordnance, the imperial court has not worried about war horses, and the new "Horse Protection Law" implemented by Taiwei on Mizhou West Road has also greatly increased the number of private horses. Liangshan Boli is a quagmire, although the official army can't get in, but these people are afraid that they can't get out, and now the people have a lot of muskets, Hou Meng has complained that the private households are better equipped than the Beiyang army. If the bandits want to rob the farm, I am afraid that they will not be able to bite it, and once they get out of the lake, they will be pursued by the official cavalry, and I am afraid that they will not be able to escape for long. ”

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "You're right, this group of people won't be able to jump for long, and it is estimated that there will be good news soon......"

When Zhao Xing was calculating the bandits in Liangshan, Yanlu passed through the Luofu, and the small seed master Zhongzheng and the Yanlu Palace Marshal Zhi Keshi welcomed their children back, and the leading was the son of the small kind of Jinglu, Mingwu, who was the son of the small race, and Zhi Kebao followed behind, and Guo Guangsheng, the commander of Huizhou, threw his sleeves and looked around and fell at the end of the team. The seed master called the names of the children of Shaanxi one by one, and finally asked: "Why didn't Zhou Yong and You Xie come back?" ”

Everyone was silent, Zhe Keshi smiled at the sky, and persuaded him: "Zhou Yong and You Xie have come to their father-in-law, they already have a better future, what are they going to do when they come back?" ”

Guo Guangsheng flicked his sleeves, stepped forward gracefully, and replied idly: "Zhou You's second general stays in the staff headquarters, and I have no harvest in Shaanxi, this is the best of both worlds. ”

Xiao Chong Jingluo and Zhi Keshi immediately suddenly, high-fived and laughed: "It's good to stay, I've long been worried that Yanlu can't speak in the staff headquarters, those two stay in the staff headquarters, it's very beautiful!" ”

After a pause, Xiao Chongjing looked at the convoy of people with a little satisfaction, and asked, "What did you all bring back?" How much did the small artillery of the Nanyang Yamen bring with the army? This thing is very popular right now, and knowing that you are coming, all the armies are clamoring for this kind of small cannon.

”

Zhi Keshi added lightly: "Qin Fenglu Liu Jingluo Liu Zhongwu) has already gone against the grain after facing the saint, and I heard that he plans to launch a winter offensive to deal with the Tubo rebels as soon as possible. ”

Chong Mingwu was a little excited: "Uncle, when I was in the General Staff Headquarters, I once put forward the Western Xia strategy as a research topic, and the students' discussion was reasonable and well-founded, which opened my eyes, uncle, I brought the topographical sand table of Yanlu, and after the placement, I will tell you about the students' discussion place...... Taishi once said in Hangzhou that the Liao people were too busy to take care of themselves, and the Tubo people were kicked by Qin Fenglu, and now is the best time to solve the Western Xia, once missed, it will inevitably become a hundred years of hatred. ”

The planter stroked his beard under his chin and laughed disapprenorovingly: "Angry...... Talking about soldiers on paper, what can be discussed, the strategy of Western Xia is far from being as simple as you think, he Zhao Liren has been in Huanqing for many years, and he has only come up with a strategy of 'all grass and trees are soldiers', but he does not dare to provoke Western Xia excessively. ”

Zhe Kebao was not in a hurry, he pulled the excited Mingwu, and said to the two elders: "Uncle, father-in-law, although it is a word of life, but when the Nanyang Affairs Bureau deduces, it is always divided into two factions, the positive side proposes a strategy, and the opposing side plays the enemy's role, figuring out the psychology of the enemy army, speculating on the enemy's response strategy, attacking and defending, looking for flaws in the positive side, under this deduction, I believe that the conclusion drawn must be the strategy to meet the enemy with the least mistakes." ”

Guo Guangsheng leisurely added: "Although that strategy is a raw opinion, but the lower officials have shallow knowledge, but they are unable to find an attack strategy, the two adults are veterans, and they may be able to put forward some insightful opinions." ”

Chong Mingwu took a breath and added: "Master Guo played the opposite side in the deduction, and even he couldn't find a flaw......

"Oh?!" Only then did the seed master move: "I heard that Zhao Liren is good at planning and taking advantage of the situation, I don't know what clever plan his students can come up with this time......"

A few days later, the new officers had finished resting, the sand table had just been installed, and the division was not allowed to complete the order to release ordnance, so they dragged the Shaanxi officers who had participated in the training in Hangzhou into the sand table room, waiting for the officers who had returned from Hangzhou to introduce their learning achievements.

There are also a lot of officers who come to Yanlu, with Zhao Xing improving the treatment of soldiers in recent years, many officers are no longer tattooed on their faces, most officers have begun to learn war skills, learn professional skills related to war, in this strong learning atmosphere, many officers have tried their best to dress themselves up gentle and elegant, like a scholar.

Among these people, there are also some outliers, who have risen step by step from the ranks of the soldiers to the ranks of officers through constant hand-to-hand combat, if the former can be called "academic" officers, then the latter can be called "charge" officers, who rely on intuition to fight, relying on courage and fearlessness. Now that the academics are leading the war rehearsal, these people gather together with disdain on their faces to show their arrogance and draw a barrier with the academy officers.

Among the officers, there was a majestic-looking officer man, he was 1.9 meters tall, tall and strong, and his voice was also very loud, and his every move tried his best to imitate the image of Zhang Feidi in the popular "Tales of the Three Kingdoms" at that time, which seemed very disapproving.

Although he did not have Zhang Fei's physique and Guan Yu's majesty, his faint glance at the group of officers who were trying their best to show off their might and recklessness was suddenly silent.

The planter took a seat on the handsome chair, and when he saw the officer's unconvinced expression, he beckoned and called: "Lu Tiha, come and take your seat in front of me!" ”

Like an obedient dog, Luti ran happily and flatteredly to the chair of the breeder, staring at the sand table honestly with his crossed hands, but his bullish eyes were full of confusion.

This Lu Ti is not Lu Da, that is, the flower monk Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin", he should be Lu Da's father, Lu You, who relied on military merits to climb up to Yanlu Tishi.

After everyone was seated, Mingwu and Zhe Kebao were responsible for the speech as the positive side, and Guo Guangsheng played the Western Xia army as the opposing side, and the two teams of men and horses stood on both sides of the sand table and began to arrange the troops

Let me say first, this sand table is very exquisite, which is in line with Zhao Laohuyi's character.

But the sand table is in front of you, and the topography of Xixia and me is clear at a glance. ”

Zhi Keshi took the bamboo pole in his son Zhi Kebao's hand, pointed to the terrain on the sand table, and explained: "I, Shaanxi, Gansu and Western Xia are separated by this layer of thousands of miles of mountains and Hengshan Mountains, our army attacked Western Xia, and wanted to cross the mountains to enter the summer realm, the mountain roads were rugged, and the supply was difficult, presumably Zhao Laohu also understood this truth back then, so he only dared to make a short assault, which was a continuation of the hidden attack strategy set by the prefect of Zhangzhang.

It can only be a sneak attack, we have crossed thousands of miles of mountains to enter the summer realm, but we are facing thousands of miles of plains and a hostile land, we have to hold on, logistics and supplies need to be transported through the mountains, our Xia army wants to attack, there are flat land in all directions, they can attack from any direction, or even not attack, enter the mountains, cut off our supply routes, enough to trap us and starve to death.

In the past, our army repeatedly attacked the Xia army, but they were all trapped in this thousand-mile mountain, but now in my opinion, the situation has not changed much. Zhao Liren presided over Huanqing that year, although he won the Toad Village and conquered Helan Yuan several times, he never gained a firm foothold on the side of the mountain. Therefore, you must first tell me how you plan to overcome the obstacles of this thousand-mile mountain, otherwise everything will be on paper. ”

"River! Since ancient times, marching and fighting are nothing more than attacking along the river, and it is difficult for thousands of troops and horses to get water, so our strategy is to seize the river first. Chong Mingwu pointed to the mountains and rivers and replied: "In the past, when Zhao Taishi was in Huanqing, he used to mainly operate Baimachuan and Luochuan, and put it on my Yanlu Road, we have more choices, after taking the river, Wuding River, Yintang River, and Hongliu River all lead to the Xia Realm, in addition, there is a road that the Xia army will never think of the Yellow River." ”

Zhi Keshi and the seed master glanced at each other, and the seed master nodded slightly: "Zhao Liren started with a water army, and he is good at using the water army, why didn't I think that the Yellow River will go north along the Yellow River from Volcano County, and it is also a method, maybe you have to cross a few river gorges and waterfalls, but since you carry water, there is always a way to solve it." Let's talk about ......"

Chong Mingwu scratched his head and said with a little shame: "Actually, this strategy is not something we came up with, we also planned four offensive plans at the beginning, but it was nothing more than using the Wuding River to attack along the river, or from Huanqing, or from Qin Feng, these strategies were defeated by Brother Guo one by one, and later after the Taishi heard about it, he laughed at his disciples, and he said a word: The world is very big, there is more than one road to Xixia, obviously there is a wall in front of it, and it has to hit it up, that is not looking for death."

In this way, everyone suddenly became enlightened, or someone suggested that the Volcano Army secretly build warships and other ships, and the hydrofoil boats that are now popular in Yangzhou are enough to send thousands of troops and horses across the Yellow River, and maybe we can also win over some Qiang people......"

Zhi Kebao pointed to the sand table and introduced: "Our thinking is not limited to these places, the first step is to carry out the battle to seize the river, and use the convenience of firearms and artillery to open up several rivers leading to Western Xia, so that we can transport materials along the river." Of course, after seizing the river, we could not hold it on the other side of the mountain, just as Lord Jinglu said, it was difficult to transfer materials through the thousands of miles of mountains, so we could not hold the mouth of the river on the opposite side.

However, the battle to capture Sichuan was to cover up, and it was also a step to sneak up, in order to meet the naval army along the Yellow River from the flank. The Yellow River has nine songs, only one set of wealth, the land of the Hetao is the wealth of the Western Xia, and there is the capital of the Western Xia Xingqing Mansion by the river. If we attack along the river, we can directly smash the capital of Western Xia, even if we can't defeat it, just harassment is enough for Western Xia to endure. ”

Guo Guangsheng didn't speak, then took the baton, pointed to the territory adjacent to the Volcano Army, and explained: "There is a big obstacle to attacking along the Yellow River against the current, which is to enter Dongshengzhou in the Xijing Road of the Liao State. But this Dongshengzhou has an advantage, it is vast and sparsely populated, and the Yellow River goes around in a large circle within the territory, isolating the Heqing army and the Jinsu army on the south bank, and these two armies usually contact the Liao State, and have to cross a large area of Hanhai Desert to reach the bank of the Yellow River, and then cross the river to the Liao State.

The Liao people have never paid attention to this barren land, and the Liao country is now mainly at war with the northeast, coupled with the domestic famine, even the food has to rely on our Great Song Dynasty, in this case, the Heqing army and the Jin Su army have been ignored for many years......"

Zhi Keshi immediately added: "Brother Guo, there is no need to explain this, when this plan was proposed, Taishi smiled and said that there is no need to worry about the affairs of Dongshengzhou, he will solve it, so we don't need to consider the obstacles in Dongshengzhou......"

The seed master immediately raised a finger: "Needless to say, I already understand the rest of the things!" ”

After saying that, the planter stood up, glanced sternly at the officers present, and ordered sharply: "What you have heard today, you must not leak it, even if your parents and wives do not hear it.

”

The officers bowed: "Obey the instructions of the scriptures!" ”

Lu You muttered: "What did you say, just said the matter of Dongshengzhou, didn't we fight Western Xia, the Volcano Army has already left my Yanlu, and Dongshengzhou has also arrived in Liao......"

Halfway through his words, Lu Youxian stared at him sternly, and he quickly stopped the end of his words, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and remained silent.

The officers retreated, and the planter and Zhi Keshi lay on the sand table to continue studying, and after a long time, Zhi Keshi exclaimed: "Five ways to attack the summer!" This is still a five-way strategy to attack the summer land: Qin Feng Road out of Huizhou and attack downstream from the upper reaches of the Yellow River; Huanqing Road returns to Tokugawa and Hakuma River; I extended the road out of Luochuan or Wuding River, or the hydrofoil boat was still made in Suide Road and Yan'an Mansion on my Yanlu Road, and thus entered the Volcano Army......

The purpose of the other four attacks is not to win, only to drag down the Xishou Baotai Military Division, Jianing Military Division, Jingsai Military Division, Xiangyou Military Division, the four major military divisions, and the main force is the surprise attack fleet, which is upstream from the Dongshengzhou River, to first break through the Western Summer German Army, and then break through the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, break through the Western Chamber Chaoshun Military Division, and directly hit Xingqing Mansion with good courage!

Such a heavy burden, only the Nanyang Yamen and the Beiyang Yamen have the ability to bear it, however, they can treat thousands of troops and horses as nothing, and thousands of mountains and dangers as if they were smooth roads, such a famous general's demeanor, I am afraid that Beiyang Yamen will not dare to take over...... He is so ambitious. ”

Zhi Keshi echoed and said: "Zhao Liren was squeezed away by Lu Huiqing before the end of his term in Huanqing, I often heard Huanqing's children say that the Xia people angered the tiger, and Zhao Liren still wanted to take revenge on the Western Xia even though he left, this idea must have come from the hands of the tiger, just said it through the mouth of the student, hum, in the future, the Xixia people will definitely regret offending this tiger." ”

The sand table pointed out by the division of the planter, high-fived again and again: "The sailor must go upstream, not only to overcome the danger of the river, but also to break the interception of the three major military divisions, Zhao Liren has this confidence, but the success or failure all depends on whether our four roads can drag the four major military divisions." There must be shallow places along the way, which can be blocked, in case we can't drag it any way, these military divisions will come back to help, and the surprise attack team of the naval army will inevitably be blocked in the river and isolated! Our burden is so heavy. ”

Zhi Keshi understood: "The purpose of the battle to seize Sichuan is to set out the carriages and horses, so that the four major military divisions are vigilant, and once we attack, we must let the four major military divisions go all out, and believe that we really plan to attack the Xia State from these four roads, so as to ensure that none of the four major military divisions will return to help, otherwise, the navy will break the three armies in a row, and I am afraid that it will not be able to cope with the continuous return of reinforcements......
