Although Sun Shengli doesn't care too much about the affairs of the Northwest Frontier, he is not a particularly professional geography enthusiast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but he has traveled long enough.

After the Xihe River opened and regained the Minshan and Lintao that had been lost in the late Tang Dynasty, it coincided with the internal struggle of Tsongkhapa's forces entrenched in Xining, Qinghai.

An important person named Meng Zheng (Mu Zheng), his son Long Shu took the initiative to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty and gave the land of Hezhou to the Great Song Dynasty.

So the opening of the Xihe River ushered in the second spring and was a great success. It is known as the second opening of the Xihe River in history. This second time the Xihe River was opened, and the leader was Cai Jing. The prison guards are Tong Guan and Gao Yu.

However, then something went wrong, a big problem.

People of later generations want to go to Xining Taer Temple by Qinghai Lake for sightseeing, starting from Lanzhou all the way to the west.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty could not go this way.

Because of the place of Lanzhou, it falls on the northernmost border of Hezhou, close to the Western Xia. That is, this place in Linxia County, a suburb of Lanzhou in later generations. Linxia Linxia, as the name suggests, the supply line from the Great Song Dynasty to the land of Hehuang and horse breeding cannot go straight and unblocked.

You'll have to make a circle from the south and take a detour.

This path is Jishi Mountain.

Later generations were known as the famous natural insurance of the key to the lock.

Jishi Gorge is 20 kilometers long, and the Yellow River meanders through the gorge. Human chariots and horses can only pass through this natural danger along the only narrow road along the river at the bottom of the cliff.

It seems that such a natural danger, since ancient times, one husband should be closed.

During the Ming Dynasty, ten checkpoints were built here, with 100 people per card. Why do you only use 100 people for a pass? Because it is very narrow, there are too many people and there is no point in it, and it cannot be used at all.

Geshuhan forcibly took the stone fort that year, went to 63,000 troops, killed tens of thousands, and the opposing defenders were only 1,000. This is the effect of the natural danger tactics that are difficult to open for a husband.

The Ming Dynasty set up ten levels in a row in Jishi Gorge, which was at least five times the tactical effect of the Battle of Geshuhan Stone Fort. It is impossible to break through without more than 100,000 or 200,000 people filling the pit.

So Sun Shengli was keenly aware of a very fatal thing:

The strategic purpose of the Great Song Dynasty is to skillfully cross the natural danger of Jishi Gorge and open up the path from Didao City to the Huangshui Valley in Xining.

(Because Lanzhou Road is the Song-Xia border, there are battles on that border line all day long.) It's impossible to do business travel on a large scale. You can only take a detour to the natural danger path and the stone canyon. ）

This Jishi Gorge Heavenly Danger is such a terrifying existence, no matter how stupid the Great Song Commander is, he will not attack it, right?

What if you don't attack?

Did you buy the leaders of the Qiang and Tibetan ethnic groups in Xining?

This one......

You don't have to buy this! The local emperor at the other end of Xining was originally a good boy who was actively loyal to my Song Dynasty.

Now here's the problem! This son of Mu Zheng obviously had an internal conflict with the ruler of Xining, and when the internal conflict failed, he abandoned the secret and surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty and surrendered to a huge river state.

If you want to buy the new soil emperor of Xining who succeeded him after taking away Longluo, it is difficult! Unless it is the son who beheaded Mu Zheng, unless he takes the initiative to return this Hezhou to others.

With the urine of the Northern Song Dynasty emperor and the scholar class, can such a thing be done?

They wouldn't do that! Doing so is obviously insulting to my Great Song Weiling! Doing so will make the people of the world feel chilled when they take the initiative to descend.

So...... In fact, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't cross the Jishi Gorge at all, right?

However, Sun Shengli is a traverser, and he knows that the Great Song Dynasty finally opened up this stone path! How did you get through? It is said that Tong Guan successfully recruited the Qiang prince Zang Zheng who guarded the natural danger of Jishi Mountain. The messenger who was sent by Tong Guan to surrender was Liu Zhongwu's eldest son and Liu Qi's elder brother, Liu Xi.

Anyway, Mu Zheng's son Longshu, Sun Shengli didn't know.

But Sun Shengli, as a traverser, must care about Tong Guan. Tong Guan is the first person responsible for the three deadly events that directly contributed to the Song-Jin Sea Alliance, the Song-Liao Beijing War, and the Song-Jin Taiyuan War. The travelers who came to the eve of the Jingkang national disaster, if they didn't care about Tong Shuxiang, they would be too unpatriotic.

cares about Tong Guan, and naturally knows that Tong Shu has been in the Western Xia border pass for many years.

During the Chongning period, Wang Shao, the hero of the Xihe River in the past, was deceased. When Cai Jing opened the border again, first Mu Zheng's son Long Xiao descended to the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court gave him the surname Zhao and changed his name to Zhao Huaide. Immediately, the Qiang people Doroba supported Zhao Huaide's brother Xi Luosa to resist the Song soldiers, and Zhao Huaide fled Xining in a hurry. So Wang Shao's son Wang Hou, under the supervision of the great eunuch Tong Guan, sent troops to Hehuang.

Somehow, this second opening of the Xihe River went exceptionally smoothly. All three of Doropa's sons were killed in battle, and Histarosa was defeated and fled to Western Xia. The widows of the nobles left behind after the death of the last Qinghai Zampu Dong sticky, as well as the leaders of the Qiang in Xining, opened the city and surrendered.

Then something went terribly wrong.

It is said that because the local Qiang and Tibetan people were not satisfied, Wang Hou and Tong Guan reported to the central government that it was difficult to supply and asked to give up this piece of Huangshui territory, which had been contested for a long time and was easily surrendered. The central government even approved it.

So Wang Hou and Tong Guan's army retreated, and Zhao Huaide settled in Xizhou. Xining City and the entire Huangshui Valley Horse Ranch were returned to Xiluo Sa, who fled to Western Xia.

Hu Xi went to Sahan Mountain on credit, and after walking around, he returned to Xining to continue to do the work of the boss. The Song court recognized him as the envoy of the Xiping army and the leader of Miaochuan.

So, the second time the Xihe River opened, the Great Song Dynasty theoretically took the Xining City occupied by the traitor Xi Credit Luosa, but it was inexplicably returned to this Xi Credit Luosa. You must know that this Xi Rosa is a pro-Xia element who fled to Western Xia at a time of crisis.

After tossing for so long a day, it means that Xining City is still in the hands of Hu Hansan. Zhao Huaide, who was forced to fall to the Song court, finally lost control of the Huangshui Valley.

What did Da Song get in the end? The territory is still back to the two states of Xihe to the east of Jishi Gorge. Nothing was gained in the Huangshui Valley upwards. Only Wang Hou, Tong Guan and others have established outstanding military achievements.

How do you look at this, how does it look like the actors are cheating together?

However, Sun Shengli did not dare to rashly speculate on Wang Hou and Tong Guan with conspiracy theories. Because this battle is very involved.

The battle report said: Wang Houshuai's army is in Huangshui, and he ordered Gao Yongnian to follow the left army to the north along Zongshui, and don't send Zhang Jie's right army out of Zonggu to the south, since the Chinese army tends to Suiyuan, and expects to meet Zonggechuan, Qiang Chen Linzongshui, leaning on the North Mountain, Xi Luosa Zhang Huangwu, building a big house, taking the high finger call, hoping that the Chinese army will fight for it. Wang Houlu rode up the mountain to attack his back, his own commander and strong crossbow to meet the shot, Qiang retreated, the right army hit it with water, the wind came from the southeast, the sand was raised, and the Qiang was not seen, so he was defeated, beheaded more than 4,300 people, and captured more than 3,000 people. Creek Rosa fled on only one horse.

The whole battle is vividly spoken. And the fact that there were 4,300 heads and 3,000 prisoners of war existed. This one is hard to cheat on.

After the war, Wang Hou was exceptionally promoted to the Wusheng Army, and the festival was observed and retained. The rest of the generals will be rewarded. Tong Guan also became the most meritorious eunuch in history, laying a solid foundation for him to become the king step by step.

(If there is no fraud, Tong Guan is indeed the first person in history to be honorably awarded the title of king, proficient in strategy and tactics, and very good at surrendering without a fight, a great military strategist, and an outstanding eunuch.) ）

Immediately, this Huhan Sanxi credit Luosa returned, and Wang Hou stayed and did not save him, resulting in Gao Yongnian being assassinated and killed, and all the cities he gained were lost. Jishi Gorge still fell into the hands of the anti-king. Wang Hou was then demoted to the defense envoy of Yingzhou. Everything before was in vain. But Tong Guan did not participate in the later events, so Tong Guan did not have the problem of being demoted for dereliction of duty.

Now this Zhe Kelan girl is tantamount to crying out for Zhao Huaide, complaining about Wang Hou and Tong Guan, as well as Gao Yongnian and Zhang Jie, who are from the entire Western Army participating in the war, all of which are deception. Is this possible?

Speaking with his conscience, Sun Shengli felt that this was actually really possible.

But! You can't sue for this royal state! Whoever sues who dies is a matter of plain truth. Even if Bao Longtu is reincarnated, he will not be able to overturn this big case.

The most hateful thing is that Gao Yu', Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and his son also participated in this series of strange battles.

What's going on...... The entire high-level civil and military leaders of the Great Song Dynasty are basically all involved.

Can you sue this royal state? I can't sue you!

Guan Shengli seems to have inherited the fine tradition left by his ancestors, which is clearly a good Chinese paper with righteous words at the head and impulsive blood and impulsiveness regardless of his life.

So Sun Shengli had to hurry up and find a way to stop Guan Shengli from coming.

Sun Shengli hurriedly asked: "What is the situation of Zhao Huaien?" What is his relationship with Zhao Huaide? And your Qiang Kelan species, and the Tubo Zampu entrenched in Xining, are they of the same clan? Why can a single White Rock City accommodate more than 3,000 people? Your name is Zhekolan? What is the origin of the family with folding, adaptation, and saving? ”

His attitude is already obvious to find fault.

Standing on the position of the corrupt and dark ruling class, he deliberately embarrassed the poor little princess Zhekolan.

There is no justness at all.

Zhe Kelan was full of tears, and with regret and hatred, she squinted coldly at this obscene Taoist and did not speak.
