Go to war!

Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang had already begun to collect intelligence and make an analysis, if he was not prepared, how would he, as the commander of the former army, fight?

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, what the Han people say in the art of war is indeed reasonable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qingyi made a lot of effort to think about countermeasures. Mu Zheng nodded again and again after hearing this, and now he finally understood why his uncle Dong Yu would pay special attention to such a young man and entrust the fate of the Tubo army and Hehuang to him.

"Lure the enemy out of the city and ambush halfway!" Mu Zheng tasted this sentence and agreed very much.

"That's right! We don't have the experience and ability to storm the city at all, and we are no match for the Song Dynasty in this regard, so why bother asking for hardship? Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and said: "If you want to win, you can only fight in the field outside the city, and only in this way can you give full play to the advantages of my Tubo cavalry and make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses." ”

This self-confidence, Mu Zheng is completely there. He kept thinking that if he hadn't been surrounded by the Song army last time and attacked the flank, but fought head-on, the Hezhou army would definitely not have been defeated.

"Then how does the general plan to lure the Song army out of the city?" Mu Zheng asked softly, afraid that the Song army would not leave the city. Although he doesn't have many troops left, it's perfectly okay to sneak up on him. But Song Jun never gave him a chance, so he could only hide in the mountains and forests.

"It's very simple, attack the place that must be saved!"

"Where?"

Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter pondered for a moment before he spit out three words: "Step on the White City!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The vegetation in the area of Hezhou is dense and there are a large number of towering ancient trees.

As everyone knows. In ancient buildings, there must be no shortage of wood. In particular, large palaces and other large palaces require large trees. As a column or beam, etc.

The Qin, Han and Tang dynasties built the capital of Guanzhong, and built palaces mainly from the surrounding Longshan Mountain, the Loess Plateau in the north of Guanzhong. That's why Du Mu has the sigh of "Shushan Wu, A Fang out".

Generations of deforestation, coupled with the destruction of the battlefield, and natural factors, have severely damaged the vegetation of Longshan and the Loess Plateau, and also brought serious soil erosion. The Great Song Dynasty was plagued by floods every year. The losses were heavy and the suffering was unspeakable.

Even in this case, the project still has to be built, and there is still a demand for timber. Where did it come from? Felling from the reckless mountain forests of the south?

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were large trees cut down in the mountains and forests around Guixiang and transported to the capital by water. This was a great price for the Song Dynasty. As for the mountains of the Central Plains, after logging. Inconvenient transportation.

When Hezhou became the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the wood here became the best choice.

There are many large trees, and the wood is formed, and after being cut down, it is dragged into the river, and finally enters the Weishui, and it can go straight down the river to Guanzhong and Bianjing. Therefore, it was targeted by the timber merchants of the Song Dynasty very early.

As early as the second year of the establishment of the Song Dynasty. In the second year of Taizu Jianlong (961 AD), Song Shangshu Zuo Cheng Gao Fang went out of Qinzhou. Kochi Prefecture saw that the west of Qinzhou Sunset Town (near Tianshui) in Qinzhou was full of forests and there was a lot of timber, so he recruited 300 people to set up a construction business and specialize in logging. The timber collected from the Wei River was then used to supply the buildings needed in Bianjing.

Where the Song Dynasty was established, the capital city of Bianjing was repaired. It is inevitable that a large amount of wood will be used. For this reason, Gaofang also specially built Dingxi Village in the south of the Wei River, and sent troops to garrison it, and then expanded westward to the Fuqiang realm. In addition to maintaining the frontier, it is to provide convenience for the logging industry of the Song Dynasty.

After a long time, it finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Tibetan people.

Timber was important to them, it was their building material and fuel, and logging in the Song Dynasty was actually plundering their living resources. Moreover, the people of the Song Dynasty did not care for the land of the Tubo people at all, and cut down indiscriminately, causing soil erosion. Crucially, the mountains and forests are also part of the original beliefs of the Tibetan people. The Song Dynasty's wanton logging was undoubtedly an infringement and insult to them.

So, the Tubo people launched a counterattack!

Shang Boqian, the leader of the Tubo tribe at that time, called on the Song Dynasty to set up construction services to infringe on the interests of the Tibetan residents, and contacted more than 1,000 people from the Zhou tribe in the second year of Jianlong A.D. to attack the Song Dynasty's manufacturing operations, seize the transport rafts, and kill and wound the Song Dynasty's soldiers.

The Tibetan and Song dynasties were opposed for the first time, resulting in contradictions. Kochiju immediately sent troops to defeat Shang Boqian, but Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, put on an attitude of calming things down.

At that time, the situation in the northwest was very complicated, and the predecessors of Western Xia, the Li family in Wuzhou, the Zhejia in Fuzhou, and the Yang family in Linzhou were all divided into one side, and they supported their own troops, and they could not be completely controlled in their hands. Shang Boqian is the leader of Tubo, who controls the land of Longyou and has a great influence. The warlords within the Song Dynasty were still incapable of straightening things out, so they naturally didn't want to have a dispute with Shang Boqian!

At the same time, it also has the meaning of wooing Shang Boqian and containing many warlords in the northwest, after all, Longyou is separated by a mountain, and it is not very far from the five states of Dingyan.

Therefore, Song Taizu ordered to send the privy envoy Wu Tingzuo as the envoy of the Xiongwu Army and the governor of Qinzhou, replace Gao Fang, reconcile with Tubo, and release the captured Tubo people. Shang Bo reciprocated, withdrew his own men, and handed over the land of Fuqiang in Longyou to the Song Dynasty. This is the first place to officially belong to the Longyou of the Central Plains Imperial Court since the loss of Longyou in the middle years of the Tang Dynasty, which is of great significance.

The Great Song Dynasty and Tubo also maintained such an ingenious balance, and as for the logging matter, there were still sneaky ones. However, it is precisely because of this that the phenomenon of the Tubo people infiltrating the Song Dynasty often occurs, and it has continued to the present.

It was not until the last time that the Tubo people invaded the Great Song Dynasty, plundered the caravans, and killed the villagers, which finally provoked the counterattack of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lin Zhao and Wang Shao officially marched into Hezhou.

Now that Hezhou has become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the logging thing can be logical and start openly. In fact, Lin Zhao did not approve of logging in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, and the Loess Plateau was already riddled with holes. The ecological conservation of the Hehuang area and the upper reaches of Weishui is not bad, but if large-scale logging is carried out, it will inevitably cause soil erosion.

The hard work of managing the Yellow River last year is actually about soil and water conservation in the upper reaches of the river. Even so, there are times when you have to make an exception. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Funing Hall was destroyed due to lightning strikes, and it was rebuilt, using a lot of wood. After this incident, many parts of the Bianjing Imperial Palace had to be repaired by the way, and naturally a lot of wood was needed. Also stock up on some wood, so logging is a must.

Lin Zhao just didn't see it, but this kind of thing needs to be controlled, and it must not be there again in the future, at least the scale must be controlled!

Between the reckless woodlands of River State, hundreds of soldiers are busy cutting and transporting timber. It was safe for a while, but on this day, a soldier disappeared inexplicably. At first, I thought it was just a lost trend, but after two or three days, seven soldiers disappeared in a row. Their bodies were then found, brutally murdered, and placed on the daily route of the loggers.

The soldiers panicked and sent men to search, but found nothing. As a result, the next day, not a single soldier was willing to continue the logging.

Everyone feared that they would be next, disappearing into the woods without a sound, being killed, so much so that in a short time there was a panic......

The news was quickly reported layer by layer and sent to Lin Zhao in Xizhou. People are killed, and the murderer must be a Tibetan without thinking about it, and such a blatant placement of corpses is a kind of deterrence and intimidation, deliberately causing fear and panic among the soldiers, so that people's hearts fluctuate.

From this point alone, the purpose of the Tibetan people has been achieved!

In this regard, Lin Zhao was noncommittal for the time being! There is no way to deal with this kind of petty theft assassination. Afraid that the army will go to search, it will be a fuss and a waste of resources. In this way, he attaches too much importance to them, and it is easy to give the Tubo people the illusion that they will gain an inch. Anyway, the logging thing can be suspended for a few days, and let's see what kind of imps they are, and what their real intentions are?

A few days later, Lin Zhao understood that the purpose of the Tubo people was to deliberately provoke and provoke the Song army.

First, they used the method of killing the soldiers of the Song army to provoke panic and anger, thus creating contradictions and conflicts. However, because of Lin Zhao's composure and calmness, their strategy did not succeed.

Unexpectedly, the Tubo people immediately intensified.

Mu Zheng sent a letter to Lin Zhao, a letter full of insulting words, and Li Cheng was full of anger when he saw it. Lin Zhao was quite calm, he understood now that the Tubo people wanted to provoke him. What do you do after provoking him? Along this direction, it seems that some questions can come to mind!

However, it seems that it is not possible to completely put it on the shelf and ignore it, because Mu Zheng spread the abusive letter in the Xihe area. If Lin Zhao was noncommittal and did not respond, how would the soldiers react? They will think that their boss is a coward, which will damage Lin Zhao's prestige.

A response is a must, but how do you fight back?

As Mu Zheng's army continued to provoke, Lin Zhao finally figured out their intentions. Of course, this was thanks to some historical knowledge of Lin Zhao's previous life, which made him pay special attention and caution to the Battle of Xihe from the beginning.

Therefore, even when being humiliated and provoked, and annoyed and angry, he kept his sanity. In the original history, Mu Zheng used this way to provoke Jing Sili, the purpose was to let him lead the army out of the city and exterminate the remnants.

In the original history, Jing Sili did this, and the final result was the defeat of Baicheng and the annihilation of the entire army. Lin Zhao realized this early, so he still remained sober until now.

As expected, Mu Zheng's troops then launched an attack and attack on Tabai City, and the intention was already obvious.

Not fooled?

Lin Zhao shook his head gently, Mu Zheng made such a deliberate arrangement, if he didn't react, it would be a little shameless. Since they were warmly invited, they knew that there was a pit ahead, and they had to stride forward.

At the same time, dig a bigger hole for him! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
