The conversion of 100,000 herdsmen is of course a thing worth celebrating, but Wen Yanbo feels that at most he can add a little worker to the straight, and as for other uses, he has not yet seen it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info On the contrary, if you accept the younger brother, you have to give money, food, and military salaries, although the treasury still has money, but Wen Yanbo is not willing to waste it on the Tibetan department.

As a privy envoy, Di Qing was obviously countless times smarter than Wen Yanbo, and he felt that this was a godsend, but how to operate it, Di Qing hadn't figured it out yet.

He is indeed not as good at it as Wang Ning'an, so Di Qing invited Wang Ning'an over.

"Jingping, what's your idea?"

With words, it is indeed much easier to call them.

Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "Everything is clean and clear, as long as the analysis is clear, why there are 100,000 people who return to the Great Song Dynasty, you will know how to prescribe the right medicine." ”

Di Qing bowed his head and took the initiative to say: "The east of Qingtang, west of Taoshui, this area is a mixed land of Han and Yi. Dong Yu imprisoned Blind Felt two years ago, and recently heard that after the death of the Blind Guy, Blind Felt was also executed. It's just that although the people are dead, but the power still exists, these Tibetan tribes, more than tens of thousands, as few as a few hundred, are not convinced by Dong Yu, on the contrary, they respect the son of the blind felt, and Mu Zheng has a strong appeal in this area. ”

Di Qing analyzed: "This time, Dong Yu sent Ghost Zhang to the Great Song Dynasty as an envoy, it should be in the hope of getting the reward of the Great Song Dynasty, and then justifiably waving the army through the land west of Taoshui, subduing all the Tibetan tribes, and restoring the power of his father's time." ”

I have to say that Di Qing is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he sees the whole situation clearly and clearly.

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Wang Shao and Ye Liyu begged them-for-tat, scattered a lot of money, and created rumors, saying that Dong Yu killed his father and killed his brother, which is heinous, and also said that he colluded with Western Xia and wanted to betray Qingtang...... Therefore, in order to protect themselves, these Tibetan tribes will compete to attach themselves to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"The situation is very clear, and we should think about what we want."

"Of course, it's the whole Qingtang!" Di Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty's desire to expand the territory is countless times stronger than before, we can't chill Your Majesty's intentions." ”

Wang Ningan said again: "Then who is the biggest enemy who swallows Qingtang?" ”

"There are two, one of them is Dong Yu's 100,000 army!"

At the mention of this team, Di Qing also felt strong pressure.

Qingtang is not a weak chicken, the land of Hehuang is rich in war horses, and he is a generation of heroes, even Yuan Hao was beaten by him, and the cavalry of Qingtang is enough to compete with Western Xia.

If you want to take down Qingtang, you must deal with this powerful opponent.

"The second is Li Liangzuo of Western Xia, if I occupy Qingtang in the Great Song Dynasty, an encirclement situation will be formed, and the situation of Western Xia is unprecedentedly difficult. Li Liangzuo should have two choices, either combine with Dong Yu and fight against the Great Song Dynasty, or take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Qingtang when our battle is fierce. No matter what kind of measures he takes, it may undermine our great cause of opening up the border, and we have to guard against it! ”

"Then what does Di Xianggong think our strategy should be?"

"Fight quickly, the sooner the better, the main force must fight a decisive battle, and we can't delay the time, otherwise we will not have enough food and grass personnel, and it is very likely to fail, and after a long time, the Xixia people will have time to prepare calmly, which is even more disadvantageous to us."

……

Di Qing and Wang Ningan asked and answered, and gradually sketched out the entire strategy.

First of all, Qingtang has a high terrain, vertical and horizontal valleys, and difficult roads.

If the army goes on an expedition and delays for a long time, the logistics will inevitably be poor, and the consumption of food, livestock, personnel, and weapons will be huge, which is definitely not a good thing for the still very weak Great Song Dynasty.

And once Dong Yu was broken into pieces and used the guerrilla warfare method of constant attacks, the Great Song Dynasty was almost certain to be defeated, and Li Yuanhao suffered such a loss back then, Wang Ningan and Di Qing were unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, the safest way is to attract Dong Yu to fight, defeat Dong Yu in one fell swoop in the land of Taoxi, and fight a complete war of annihilation.

Abolish all the main forces of Qingtang and clear the way for the army to march westward.

After establishing the policy, when you look at the current situation, you will feel like you are looking down on everything from a high vantage point.

It was necessary to appease the Tibetan Ministry, but it was not to immediately control how much land, but to provoke Dong Yu and induce him to send troops to attack, so that the Great Song Dynasty could take it in one fell swoop.

In history, the Battle of Xihe presided over by Wang Shao was an unprecedented success, but it also left many problems.

The main reason is that the army of the Great Song Dynasty was weak at that time, so it had to buy off the local tribes, give a lot of power to the leaders of the various departments, and adopt the strategy of restraint to barely control it. Later, when the old party came to power, it directly overthrew the new policy, and even did not want the land to be developed, and Wang Shao's efforts fell short and were in vain, which is very regrettable.

However, through Wang Ningan's efforts, the situation of Da Song is now many times better.

The enterprising Zhao Zhen is far more powerful than Shenzong, with Di Qing in the center, and the local army has been greatly enriched, and he already has the strength to fight head-on.

"The army of the northwest has not yet been trained, if you want to grasp it fully, you must transfer the people of Youzhou, Jingping, how many soldiers can your family produce?"

"Eight thousand!"

Wang Ningan said very simply: "My father went back to Youzhou some time ago, he said that in recent years, Yelu Hongji's strength has recovered rapidly, and he has entered the army every year, and the pressure on the front line of the Great Wall is very great, and he can only draw out 8,000 men and horses at most, and no matter how much he can't stop the Khitan." ”

"Eight thousand!"

Di Qing turned around with his hands behind his back, "It's okay, I'll give an order to the seed and ask him to mobilize 15,000 people, and another 5,000 people from the Zhijia army, plus the people and horses in the northwest, it is enough to fight!" ”

Di Qing shook his fist vigorously, full of anticipation.

In the past two years of hibernation, Di Qing felt that the bones in his body hurt, a person who is used to fighting wars, it is definitely fatal to be idle, you don't see many generals, disarming and returning to the field, it didn't take long for him to be riddled with all kinds of diseases, the dark disease recurred, and he died soon. But let them lead the troops to fight, even if they were injured and bleeding a few catties, they still jumped with joy.

Di Qing was able to survive, thanks to Wang Ning'an, who made him believe that civil officials would not always monopolize power, no, it was only two or three years of hard work, and the world was turned upside down.

……

Di Qing and Wang Ning settled down the strategy, played Zhao Zhen, and after getting permission, the rest was handed over to Wang Shao for implementation.

In order to let Wang Shao understand their idea, Wang Ningan also wrote a long letter, and after Wang Shao read it, he was very addicted!

"What a spirit! Wang Xianggong is really extraordinary, in the first shot of the court, killed the two Xianggong, and the opening side is not a sound, a blockbuster, this is to swallow the entire Qingtang in one bite! ”

Wang Shao smiled, happy as a 200-pound fat man.

People like Wang Shao are not afraid of big strokes, but they are afraid that there is a little woman with bound feet above, who can't take a step and is constrained in doing anything, so it's called a depressed!

Fortunately, he had two superiors who were bolder than him, and for a moment, Wang Shao felt that he was surrounded by happiness.

He is an out-and-out man of action, hurry up and find Yeli to meet the beggars.

"Congratulations, your family is going to have a king."

The old fox was still a little puzzled.

Wang Shao simply threw the will of the imperial court to Yeli Yuqi, and then said with a smile: "Your nephew fake Mu Zheng, who was canonized as the king of Wuwei County, the envoy of Hezhou Jiedu, is the lord of the Qingtang Dynasty recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, how can you not be surprised, surprised?" ”

Ye Li Yu beggar old eyes narrowed, he didn't have much joy.

At the beginning, in order to continue the incense of the Yeli family, he killed the real Mu Zheng and exchanged it for an imposter of the Yeli family. However, after several years of hard work, the impostor has grown up, learned to win people's hearts, expand its power, and many subordinates who defected from Qingtang have gathered under the name of the impostor, and there is a great tendency to make the fake come true.

It's just that the woman from the Western Regions added a pair of twins to Yeli Yuqi, two boys with handles!

The old guy is going crazy with joy, he is old and has a son, Zhao Zhen is very fond of the little prince, Yeli is even more excessive than Zhao Zhen, he is bent on giving the best to his two sons, now he looks at that impostor, how to look at it!

Now that he is going to become the king of Wuwei County, isn't this self-defeating?

The more the old fox thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Wang Shao didn't care about that, "Yeli is begging, this is an order from the imperial court, you'd better not think crookedly, otherwise your precious son will ...... Hehe. ”

After speaking, Wang Shao left, and as soon as he went out of the door, there was a crackling sound behind him, and the porcelain was robbed again.

Ten days later, in Dingqiang City, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Tibetan tribes, Mu Zheng accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty and officially ascended the throne as king.

On the ceremony, Mu Zheng wept bitterly, angrily reprimanded the third uncle Dong Yu, killed his grandfather, mutilated his father's blind felt, stole the power of the Qing and Tang Dynasty, colluded with the Western Xia, and betrayed his ancestors......

A total of ten major sins were listed, Mu Zheng cried bitterly, cut off a finger on the spot, held a bloody hand, and swore to the sky that he must get rid of Dong Yu and avenge his father and ancestors!

Mu Zheng is just a young junior, nothing remarkable, but behind him stood the Great Song Dynasty, just the first time Dong Yu became king, Wang Shao, on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, officially announced that he would trade with Dong Yu, and used Lintao Fort as a field.

All Qingtang merchants, as long as they have the official document of Mu Zheng, can go to Lintao Fort to do business and exchange all kinds of materials, and the tariff is zero!

This hand directly hit the key point of the Qingtang merchants, they drove herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and came to Lintao Fort, in exchange for tea bricks, silk, pots and pans, where they passed, they were no different from locusts, and all the goods were swept away.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty led a herd of cattle and sheep, laughing so much that their stomachs were about to explode, and the merchants of Qingtang were also beautiful with snot bubbles, which was a perfect win-win business.

It's just that if you want to come to Taobao to trade, you must get Mu Zheng's permission, and Mu Zheng's request is very simple, that is, to recognize him as the lord of Qingtang!

In just one month, more than 200,000 tribal herdsmen in the land of Hehuang have been attached to Muzheng...... Although these people are only nominally obedient to Mu Zheng, for Dong Yu of Qingtang, it is no less than Mount Tai pressing the top, and the pressure is great!

"What a shameless Da Song! I'm not done with you! ”

Dong Yu immediately ordered to mobilize an army of 100,000 from Qingtang to Xuzhou, a big battle was imminent......
