On October 12, Lidong, on this day, Xu Ping quietly left Qinzhou City with Gao Daquan's army and his military-related subordinates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info news from the Western Envoy City that Yuzang Huama has begun to assemble the army of Fanluo and is about to go south. The party troops who came from the Xishou Supervision Military Division arrived in Huizhou and set off in advance along Zulichuan.

The grass and trees are shaken and dewed into frost, the leaves and weeds around Qinzhou have withered and yellowed, and they squeak hoarsely when they step on it, and snowflakes have begun to float on the mountains not far away, and before they know it, winter is coming.

The transportation between Qinzhou and Sandu Chuan Valley Road is inconvenient, and Xu Ping has to keep abreast of the battle situation at any time, so he will not be able to get command nearby. Of course, as the commander of the three armies, he will not go directly to the battlefield, but control the overall situation in the determined Longzhong clan.

The combat of the army is a whole, and different positions have different tasks, and doing one's own job well is the greatest contribution to the war, rather than rushing to the battlefield no matter who it is. Not only did Xu Ping not go to the battlefield, but even Sang Yi and Gao Daquan, Xu Ping also strictly ordered them not to go directly to the battlefield where the troops were exchanged. Those who fight on the battlefield are commanders at the battalion and capital levels, and the campaign commander must control the overall situation of the battlefield, rather than charging into battle.

The Longzhong clan is a small tribe, and at this time it has been controlled by Gao Daquan's subordinates, and they are placed together in a small courtyard temporarily erected in the valley. Xu Ping ordered that their people be treated with good food and drink, and that they were not allowed to leave the courtyard, let alone inquire about how many people had come here, who lived here, and what the battle situation was. The leader of their clan was invited to the vicinity of Xu Ping's tent, and a temporary courtyard was built to settle it, and occasionally Xu Ping would eat with them to calm people's hearts.

The tent is not a tent, because he has to stay here for a few days, and Xu Ping is not used to living in a tent, so he asked Tan Hu to bring people here in advance to build some grass and wooden houses. When the war was over, these houses were left to the Longzhong tribe as their residence. At that time, this area should also be merged into the village, not far from the tributaries into the Sandu River of the plain place naturally rebuilt Anyuan Village, under the upstream Gangu City, this place is naturally the fort under the jurisdiction of Anyuan Village. The city is under the jurisdiction of the wall, the village under the jurisdiction of the fort, the village under the jurisdiction of the fort, and the principle of the village is the same, which is also the principle of the original walled fort near Qinzhou.

The sun rose and shone on the frost-covered trees nearby, making it a little warmer. Xu Ping stepped out of his residence and said to Tan Hu: "Go and summon the leaders of the Longzhong clan to come and have breakfast together, today is a good day——"

Tan Hu agreed, turned around and left, and brought the leader of the Longzhong clan with him after a while.

The old leader's beard is white, his clan is occupied by the Qinzhou army, and he can't resist, he can't sleep well in the past few days, and he looks a little haggard. stepped forward and saluted, and the good leader greeted Xu Ping.

Xu Ping returned the salute with a smile and said to him: "The elders are respected, and the old army master does not need to be polite." ”

After speaking, Xu Ping asked Tan Hu to move breakfast to the courtyard, sit down with the old leader, and talk casually.

While eating, Xu Ping asked casually: "Old military master, how was the harvest last year?" ”

The old leader said: "Thanks to the blessing of the big handsome, the cattle and sheep are free of disease and disaster, and the grain grown in this valley is also harvested, and it is passable." ”

"It's good to get by. I see that you have also opened a lot of land in the valley, but I don't know what to plant, and how much grain can be produced in one acre of land? ”

"Poor people, we Tibetan people are not as good at farming as the Han people, we just sow seeds and have some harvests. In the fall, there happened to be people who came to us to sell groceries, and I asked them to estimate that one acre was only five or six buckets. ”

Xu Ping looked around, and said with some pity: "The land in your valley is flat, and it can be regarded as fertile, there is a river and there is no shortage of water, how can an acre of land produce so little?" Learn from the Han people to farm the land, if it is turned into a paddy field, one acre and one or two stones can be harvested. ”

"No, we can't grow millet, where can we grow paddy fields-"

Xu Ping nodded and did not speak, in the northwest, these valleys near the river are good fertile fields, and it is a pity to plant them so extensively, widely and thinly. When the accounts are merged into villages, we will find a way to make use of these lands, and we will not have to rely on food from outside the country.

At this moment, Li Zhang hurriedly came over, and said in a low voice in front of Xu Ping: "Jieshuai, I just got the report, the day before yesterday, the people under the command of Yu Zanghua Ma have arrived in the valley and the valley, and they should have reached the closed door yesterday." ”

Xu Ping nodded: "I know, you go to the Shuai tent first, and I'll arrive later." ”

Li Zhang left, and Xu Ping said to the old leader: "The old army master is slow, I have some things, I won't accompany you here." ”

"Even if the handsome man goes, I'm a useless person, how dare I delay the handsome's kung fu? - Speaking of which, although the old man is old and dizzy, his brain is not confused, and he knows that when the handsome man comes to my clan, there must be something important. In the affairs of the imperial court, our small clan in Longzhong can't help, so we can only try not to make trouble for the marshal. ”

After bidding farewell to the old leader, Xu Ping slowly returned to his handsome tent. At this time, the sun had jumped out of the shackles of the mountains, and hung red in the eastern sky, sweeping away the frost of the night, and shining the heavens and the earth warmly.

In the handsome tent, Wang Kai, Li Zhang, Chong Shiheng, Gan Zhaoji and others were already waiting there, and when they saw Xu Ping coming in, everyone saluted.

Xu Ping arrived at the case, looked at the huge map hanging in front of him, and asked Wang Kai: "According to your estimates, where should the party soldiers and horses from Yuzang Huama Institute and Huizhou go now?" Show me! ”

Wang Kai held various small flags in his hand, which were inserted on the map, the black flag represented the Yuzang Huama Department, the green flag represented the coming party army, and the military horses of Qinzhou used the red flag.

"Yesterday, the Yuzang Huama Department arrived in Zhegu and Dagu, and before that, the party army had arrived there two days in advance along the Zuli River Valley Road. I think it was Yuzang Huama who got the news of the arrival of the party and the army, so he was relieved to move forward. Now that the two armies have converged, yesterday it should have been closed doors. We're there for eyeliner, but there's no news yet. ”

The closed gate is the jasper pass, which is an important pass of the east and west avenues of Longyou, and has been set up there since the Han Dynasty. However, after the late Tang Longyou fell into Tibet, the Guancheng there was abandoned, and only a place name remained. The closed gate is not far from Qingji River, and Xu Ping has already asked Gao Daquan to send an army to support the Yao family, and the enemy is not allowed to transfer from there to the Wating River Valley Road. Although the distance from the closed door to Qingjichuan is not far, the road is narrow and difficult to walk, it can be said that it is a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open it.

So far, everything is expected, and when the war breaks out, the army of the Yao family will attack and occupy the closed gate, and the enemy who can come will be firmly locked in the Sandu River Valley Road, and it will be impossible to escape with wings.

After looking at the map for a while, Xu Ping asked Wang Kai: "Did the Deshun soldiers and horses brought by Liu Jianji set off?" ”

"The soldiers and horses brought by Liu Dujian have been stationed in Zhiping Village in advance, and as soon as we get the news that the party troops have arrived in Zhigu and Dagu, we will send a military order to let them go to Zulichuan along the valley road."

The Shu army led by Cao Keming had already arrived at the Du'er Gorge in advance. It was very close to Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and as soon as Sandu Chuan Gukou Sang Yi engaged the enemy, he would send a fast horse to inform him to go north and take advantage of the gap to enter the west envoy city along the waterway of the Aral River.

Xu Ping put all the enemy brigades to fight in Sanduchuan, the terrain was favorable, and the other really couldn't figure out the combat power of the other two armies. It is said that the generals who lead the army on both sides are generals, but the combat power of the forbidden army is really incalculable, and when you think that you are nine out of ten, they will often make a big news for you, and there is no way at all. Whenever possible, we must do everything in our own hands, and we must not leave anything to chance, in other words, we must not fight a war that we are uncertain about. It is because Xu Ping would rather the Qinzhou army work harder than allow accidents to happen, and there is no reason why the two armies can't do it.

Straightening up, Xu Ping pointed to the map between himself and Cao Keming and said: "Now I'm afraid that something will happen to the Fan Department here, although we have done the most detailed, but Fan Qiang's actions are still elusive." ”

Wang Kai said: "This area is the place of the Qingtang clan, the Zhang family, the Zhelong clan and the Moxing clan. The Moxing clan, it doesn't matter what you do, you can leave it alone. The Qingtang clan always has an incense love affair with the sisters, and in the past half a year, they have been extremely obedient - in fact, he is not allowed to be disrespectful, and now the felt horns of Brother Zong have been attached to Yuan Hao, and the golden dragon wants to marry Yuan Hao's daughter as his wife, and his situation is very bad. The soldiers and horses of his subordinates are mainly from the Hexi Tibetan Department, and there is a priest governor, and he is not allowed to join the party, otherwise the priest who has a grudge against the party to kill his father will not tolerate him. The Qingtang clan's Nazhi Lin felt also did not have any changes, and Cao Duhu's army was near him, so there should be no accident. The Zhelong clan came from the Liugu Fan Department, and after being attacked and killed by the party, they had nowhere to stay, and came to Qinzhou to join the imperial court, so there is no reason to believe it. The Zhang family is from the Tibetan tribe of Hezhou, and they have always been incompatible with the surrounding natives, and some of the Dragon Clan and the Qingtang Clan watched it, and Zhang Xianger didn't have the courage to mess around. ”

Xu Ping sighed, turned to look at everyone, and said, "Okay, we have thought of what should be thought of, now we can wait for Yuzang Hua Ma to enter the valley and fight happily!" Look at what is missing, and speak so that you can fill in the gaps. ”

After Lü Yijian entered the Privy Council, the wind in the court changed abruptly, and he fully supported Xu Ping's actions in Qinzhou, and the two of them were extremely embarrassed to bear Wang Shougui and Gan Zhaoji, who was in charge of the Department of Military Justice. Although they could report directly to Zhao Zhen, how could Xu Ping, who had the support of the Privy Council, be suspicious of Zhao Zhen?

As soon as Xu Ping asked, the two took the lead in forking their hands and said: "The festival commander is thoughtful, he has thought of everything that should be thought of, where is there anything missing?" Now our army has been ambushed in Sanduchuan, and the thief chiefs such as Yuzang Huama and others have entered the urn! ”

Seeing that everyone else also nodded in agreement, Xu Ping thought about it, and indeed he had done the finest, and said, "Okay, then let's ask Yu Zanghua hemp into the urn!" ”
