Han Gang admired Foldable Comfort very much, so he didn't care about the slightest offense against him.

Han Gang had just transferred Zhe Ke into his curtain to wait for the dispatch. Although Zhe Keshi is a member of the Zhe family, one or two children of the Zhe family are working outside, so it is okay to do it. Judging from his performance in the past few days, Han Gang believes that he has done nothing wrong.

As a leader in the new generation of the Zhi family, not to mention his ability to lead the battle, his level is also first-class in terms of strategy and tactics. is a very suitable person to become an operational staff officer. Moreover, Han Gang felt that if his disciples could learn from him and have a certain level of military talent, he would be much more relaxed, and he would be the foundation of their promotion in the future.

If a civilian official wants to be promoted quickly, military merit is the best. It is difficult to take the Jinshi exam, but it is much easier to follow the military background. As long as the threat of the Liaoxia and Xia countries still exists, as long as the emperor still has the intention of expanding the territory, joining the army to obtain a confession is the fastest way for Qi disciples to advance. What Han Gang wants to see now is the shogunate in the Northwest Military and become the private place of the Qi Sect people.

However, the gap between the civil and military is quite deep, and whether they can promote each other, instead of tearing down and slandering each other, is quite a headache. Especially Zhi Keshi, like other staff, is a high-minded and arrogant temper, and never refuses to bow low and be small, so that people can take half a step. Even if Han Gang is biased towards the red guy of the folding family, they will not let him be proud. As for Han Gang's reputation, I don't think it will be damaged because of this little thing.

One person said calmly: "In the past ten days, the Divination Cavalry has appeared twice in Jialuchuan, although they have been driven away, but the big worm also has a nap, if there is a case, I am afraid that it will be regretted at that time." ”

"I've only heard of being a thief for a thousand days, but I've never heard of the truth of preventing thieves for a thousand days." Another person cooperated and said, "Right now, I'm only worried that there are few soldiers in the villages of Jialuchuan, and then I will transfer troops to the west, but I can't prevent it even if I want to." ”

"Jia Luchuan didn't let the Jinning army keep an eye on it, and let the divination people in, I don't know how many villages will be harmed. Those thieves have been addicted to robbery during this time, and they can't be sure when they will go crazy and crash into the Yellow River. ”

The three aides repeatedly refuted the argument that it was compatible.

Hedong is named after its location east of the Yellow River, but there are actually several military states located west of the Yellow River. Needless to say, the three prefectures of Lin, Fu and Feng were divided into two by the Jinning Army [now Jiaxian County, Shaanxi] to the south, and the Yellow River was divided into two from north to south. Li Xian's troops are now stationed in several military villages along the banks of the Yellow River, from the Jinning military city to the Jialu River.

All the staff members understood that Han Gang would never want to see the Jialuchuan Villages being breached. Once the connection between Hedong and Yanyan is blocked, Mida Cave will be lonely and difficult to support, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether the north of Hengshan will even serve the pot, but Hangang and the Hedong Army will inevitably become a laughing stock.

More importantly, Han Gang has always advocated the steady defense of Yinzhou and Xiazhou. And the route from Jialu River to Mida Cave, this route is the main passage of Hedong to support Xiazhou. The Hedong Army is guarding here, which is an adherence to the attitude that Han Gang has always maintained. If the soldiers and horses are transferred here, it is a different story.

Almost everyone thinks the same, and no one thinks that Han Gang will support the compromise regardless of the safety of the villages in Jialuchuan.

Zhi Keshi turned his head to look at Han Gang, and there was even a hint of provocation in his young and proud eyes.

"Do you want to get what you want?!" Huang Shang's sudden voice was surprising, and what he said was even more surprising, "Chong Ge had no intention of helping Xu Dezhan, and now he is asking Hedong for help, just to deal with the story." If Long Tu refuses to send troops, he will be able to sit back and watch Yanzhou be trapped! ”

Huang Shang almost turned against him, and Han Gang was taken aback.

One of the staff members was stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "...... But after sending troops, if you can't stop the diviners, the reputation of Longtu ......"

"Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty officials and troops who are waiting for the battle have no confidence to defeat the divination people who are less than 10,000 soldiers?!" Huang Sheng shouted loudly, "In this way, who would believe that the official army will be able to exterminate Western Xia and even recover Yanyun in the future?!" ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and it blocked the mouths of many people. Han Gang became the focus of attention, and the eyes of everyone in the hall were fixed on him, and now he had to come out and set the tone.

Han Gang was no longer silent: "Fame or something, don't care so much, national affairs are important, and personal reputation should be considered later...... For my sake, I am also very grateful, but Mian Zhong and Zunzheng's words are indeed reasonable, soldiers must be sent, and it is his business to have selfishness, but I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to pass through the east of the river to save the situation, but I can't have the selfishness of self-improvement. He looked at the fold and said, "In the right view, how should we deal with the current situation?" ”

Zhi Keshi finally waited for Han Gang's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Jia Luchuan's soldiers can't move lightly!" If the divination people are allowed to take advantage of the situation, it will be difficult to protect Yinzhou and Xiazhou. ”

As soon as he spoke, he looked at Han Gang and waited for his judgment.

Han Gang nodded, didn't speak, and the other staff members were also waiting for the next turn of the fold: Is it 'but' or 'but'?

"However, the request of the Captain of the Yan Lu Species cannot be ignored." Sure enough, Zhi Keshi added a twist to his words, "Therefore, in my humble opinion, I still sent 3,000 to 5,000 cavalry to help." On the eastern boundary of the river, there are many mountains, which is not conducive to the galloping of cavalry. Even if there is a need to support Hebei, it is more to help defend the Hebei walled city. It is enough to have foot soldiers to obey orders, and to go to Yinxia to intercept and block the cavalry, it is to use the horse army as the top. Just don't interfere with each other. ”

There are still people who find fault in Zhi Keshi's opinion: "The divination people are extremely vicious, and their combat power is still above the iron harrier." If it is not good, our Hedong cavalry will be put in front of the seed, and when the time comes, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

"A few days ago, I read the battle report from the west. Judging from the experience of the Yanyan cavalry and the divination people, after the Hedong horse army went out of battle, it was best to carry the divine arm bow. As soon as they encounter a diviner, they dismount and line up instead of fighting on horseback. Fighting head-on, they are by no means opponents of the official army, and the range of the Divine Arm Bow is far away from a hundred paces, so they are not afraid to prevent the diviner from turning to forcibly seize the war horse. ”

Huang Shang cooperated: "It's better if you escort grain and grass, and you can also borrow a vehicle as a fence, so you don't have to worry about several times the thief army." ”

Zhi Keshi glanced at Huang Sheng meaningfully: "As long as they come down a few times and let the divination blockers hit a wall, presumably they will find another target, and they will not fight hard with the officials and soldiers for the sake of the western thieves." Isn't there news that the cavalry in Yinxia looted the party and Hengshan and other Tibetan troops much more than the official army. ”

Han Gang listened silently, nodding secretly in his heart. This is the most correct response to the Divination Cavalry at this stage.

The dividers are just wild dogs that have been unleashed, and they are indeed fierce now, but it is not impossible to solve them. If it was a head-to-head duel and no evacuation was allowed, the Great Song infantry could easily overwhelm the same number of cavalry—not just the diviners—but it would be difficult to get the divinators into such a combat environment. For now, it's better to let go of this thought.

Moreover, the task of the dividers is clearly only harassment. But their definition of harassment is completely different from what is normal. With three or four hundred cavalry as a team, they generally spread their nets, not only blocking the grain routes, but also killing people and setting fire to the villages along the route, and the surrounding party and tribes were also attacked, without any difference. They came down from the grasslands, where there was nothing but grass and livestock, and they were insanely poor, and they robbed everything they saw.

Han Gang really appreciated what the divination people did, and if they killed all the party and Hengshan clans in the land of Yinxia, it would be much more convenient to govern this place in the future. In the past, the official army was hindered by identity and face, and could only attack the party and tribes that resisted to the end, and it was inconvenient to clean up the party and Hengshan Fan who had surrendered - in fact, such a Tibetan department was the most dangerous, and there were many examples in the past, when the Western Xia army made a comeback, it was they who would have turned against them - of course, someone would do it for them.

However, the premise of all this is that after the end of the war, the official army can still stably control the land of Yinxia, at least to keep the Wuding River Valley. Otherwise, even if the land of Yinxia was burned to the ground, it would have no meaning for the Great Song Dynasty.

"Let's do it." Han Gang voted in favor of Zhe Keshi's suggestion, and then sighed lightly: "I hope that the planting can also focus on national affairs and not sit idly by and watch the crisis in Yanzhou." If Yanzhou is breached, there will be a lot of work next. ”

Zhi Keshi pursed his lips, and after listening to Han Gang's sigh, the joy of being recognized immediately faded.

Once Yanzhou is breached, the Khitans will definitely take the opportunity to squeeze the Great Song Dynasty, and if the imperial court is tough, the Khitans will most likely try to find a breakthrough. Whether it is the three passes of Hebei or the Yanmen Pass on the east side of the Yellow River, they are the center of the imperial court's defense.

However, Linzhou, Fuzhou and Fengzhou in the clouds, because they are a prominent area in the northwest of Hedong Road and on the west bank of the Yellow River, and have received attacks from both sides by Liao and Western Xia, the possibility of becoming the first choice of targets is at least more than half. No matter how confident he is in his family, he doesn't dare to say that he can compete with the power of the two countries of Liaoxia, and whether the Zhe family can be preserved at that time really depends on God's mood.

This is the main reason why he advocates for the aid of the planters. When Han Gang began to fully support Yanyanlu to aid Yanzhou, even if he wanted to delay, it was difficult to find an excuse.

To keep Yanzhou is to keep the family.

Zhen Keshi's selfishness, Han Gang can actually see a lot. The higher the position, the more information they have, and the staff below may still be confused, but Han Gang already knows it.

But it's also in his interest.

Regardless of any selfishness, the situation in Yanzhou is indeed very important. Once Yanzhou is defeated, not only Yanmen Pass will be busy, but also the invasion from the Liao people will most likely be concentrated at a few key nodes. The land in the clouds is one of them, and the three prefectures of Linfu Feng under the rule of Hedong were occupied, and Han Gang's envoy should not do it.

But then again, Han Gang would never pay more attention to Yanzhou than Zhi Keshi. Sending troops to assist in planting a man can be regarded as doing his best, and it can also be regarded as a trick to plant a man. The key is Hedong itself, to be exact, it is Lin, Fu, and Feng in the clouds!
