The warm spring breeze blew green Jiangnan, Jingdong, Hebei, and the land in the northwest border.

The sun was still as dark as winter, and after half a month of sunny days, the snow was only halfway over. Melt and tender green emerge from under the half-covered snow layer, the snow water is murmuring, and the river beach fields on both sides of the Weishui seem to have become leprosy, one white and one green. The mottled fields may seem difficult to see, but if a person who knows the agricultural affairs knows it well, he can see the harvest in the future.

A mighty army marched on the avenue in the fields and acres by the Weishui, with as many as 10,000 people and horses. The official road, which is three feet wide, immediately looks crowded after tens of thousands of feet and hooves step on it. Fortunately, the front, middle and rear armies were divided in advance, and the distance between the front and rear formations was more than two miles. Although the long snake formation is equivalent to an invitation to the enemy, it can relax a little when marching, so that the officers and soldiers of the colonel can walk much more briskly.

The front army turned the bend in front of them, and the procession was blocked by the mountains and was no longer visible. Being in the middle of the army, Jing Sili looked at the vast fields that were also hidden in the sky, and groaned.

A strategic decisive battle is the kind of war that any enterprising general dreams of. Compared to locking the defense line on the border, waiting for the party people who don't know when they will attack. It's better to take the initiative and insert a knife in the ribs of the party members first.

The Jing family has been in Kansai for many years, and the grudge with the Western Xia has long been deep, and Jing Sili also wants to see the end of the party as soon as possible.

His father Jingtai was a famous general in Kansai in the old years, and he was a famous general who threw his pen from Rong after being admitted to the Jinshi. Because Jingtai has been on the border for a long time, he is very well-connected in the Kansai Army, and he died in Qinzhou, and died of illness when he was the governor of Qinzhou and the head of Qinfeng's soldiers and horses. This made the imperial court want to give Jing Sili several brothers a shadow seal. And Jing Sili's brother Jing Sizhong was martyred in the battle of Southwest Yi. Therefore, Jing Sili was once again made up for the shade.

A loyal martyr, so that Jing Sili served as the governor of the border at a young age. got up in the shade of his father and brother, and he was a little similar to Guo Kui. Later, Jing Sili won Han Jiang's appreciation, and was promoted to the security guard. He has made a lot of contributions in Dashun City, and now he is sitting in the position of knowing the Deshun army and the supervisor of Qin Feng - the Deshun army belongs to Qinfeng Road, in the northeast of Qinzhou. The reinforcements from Qin Fenglu this time were led by him.

Jing Sili can become a knowledgeable army, which can be regarded as both military and political. Seeing the gratifying growth of the wheat fields in Gongzhou, I secretly praised it in my heart. Just looking at the growth of wheat seedlings in the field, we know that the Daoxi River Economic Strategy Division has not made any less efforts in Gongzhou.

And there are cotton fields in Gongzhou. Jing Sili has been guarding the edge for a long time, and the business with Tubo and Dang Xiang Huiyi is indispensable to his family's caravan, and Jing Sili will not be as unheard of as if he was across the mountain. Many trading houses in Qinzhou and the families behind them are now said to have the intention to go to Gongzhou to open up wasteland and grow cotton. Compared with the silk produced all over the world, kapok cloth, jibei cloth, such scarce fabrics with different names but the same essence, can at least ensure a stable income for the family for ten or twenty years.

Jing Sili knew that Wang Shao adhered to the intention of the imperial court, and wanted to take the land of Hehuang in his hands steadily, instead of becoming another state ruled by barbarians and only nominally subordinate to the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Shao's hard work in Gongzhou, and even the rebels were accepted, all in order to be able to recapture the land of Hehuang in the hands of the imperial court.

Jing Sili had faintly heard the rumors before he came. When Wang Shao went to Qinzhou the day before yesterday to discuss the details of this decisive battle with Cai Yanqing, he said that in another three years, Gongzhou would not only be able to meet most of the needs of its own defenders with food and clothing, but also that once Minzhou's iron mines and money prisons were opened, even the military salary could solve more than half of the problem.

Originally, the discussion in Qin Fengjun thought that Wang Shao was exaggerating, at least he deliberately played a trick - after three years, Hehuang would probably be able to calm down, that is, the military states of Xihe did not need to garrison too many officers and soldiers - but now looking at the field in front of him, Jing Sili has already believed eight points.

"Gongzhou's harvest this year is better than last year...... Wang Cun, what do you say? Jing Sili turned around and asked a general beside him.

Wang Cun was Jing Sili's general, and when he heard the inquiry, he said, "That's for sure." I heard that the official fields in Gongzhou were all cultivated and planted by Han Yukun's father. Because of his good planting, the Son of Heaven gave him a special official position. This farmer is an official. ”

"Don't those who work have official status? Li Ding, who dedicated the divine arm bow, is now also a small official. Not to mention the merchants who bought the barons. Shinong Industry and Commerce, if you really want to be an official, you do it. ”

Jing Sili and Wang Cun were talking, and the former army sent someone to report back, "Qiqi Metropolitan Supervisor, Han Jiyi from Xihe Road in front has come to greet him." ”

"Han Gang is here?" Jing Sili was shocked, there were still more than ten miles away from Longxi City. He didn't dare to delay more, so he ordered Wang Cun to guard the Chinese army, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Jing Sili saw Han Gang for the first time in the near distance. For this young man with a straight back on horseback, Jing Sili will never ignore him because of his age.

As soon as he saw the effect of the sanatorium, Jing Sili felt that he was indeed a talent. What's more, the name such as Hangang has long been thunderous, and it is amazingly big in Kansai. Not only is the army in the Kansai Zhulu very high-esteem, it is said that the Son of Heaven and the prime minister are very protective of him and take him very seriously.

Seeing Han Gang more than ten miles away from the city to greet him, Jing Sili's self-esteem was greatly satisfied. But he didn't dare to be arrogant, Han Gang's current identity was not something he could be proud of.

Seeing Han Gang and his party, Jing Sili raised his voice and greeted him from afar: "But Han Jiyi? ”

"In Xia Hangang, I've seen Jingdu Prison!" Han Gang also replied from afar. When he got closer, he even bowed to Jing Si

"Don't dare, Si Li has heard the name of Han Jiyi for a long time, and when I see it today, I know that there is no vain under the fame." Jing Sili is worthy of being the heir of the Jinshi family, and when it comes to clichés, he is also literary and crepe.

Looking at Jing Sili, who was very civilized, Han Gang remembered Wang Hou. Both of them are the sons of Jinshi who are well versed in the art of war, and both are military ministers who have made or are ready to make military gains. Maybe Jing Sili's present is Wang Hou's future.

It's just that Wang Shao has not yet become a military general, he is still a civilian, and he even has a title of servant, in this regard, he is not as good as Jingtai.

Han Gang and Jing Sili exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got on the horse and walked with him.

Jing Sili was the first outside reinforcement to arrive at the Xihe River. This time, the actual combat strength of Xihe Road from all over Kansai will reach a record-breaking 30,000.

When he first attacked Luo Wu, the soldiers and horses brought by the seed were only 20,000. Judging by the number of troops,. But to arrange the diet of 30,000 people, and at the same time to take care of the appetite of the 30,000 army is much more than the 30,000 army of 10,000 horses, Han Gang these days after being tired and exhausted, sometimes feel that Wang Shao finally fought for him to be the escort of the army. It's better to make a peace of mind in Gongzhou.

Since Jing Sili was in the army, he actively led the army into battle, had many meritorious achievements, and was able to preside over the military and political affairs of important military states on the border. He was able to overwhelm Liu Changzuo, who was recommended by Mao Sui, and was able to lead Qin Feng's reinforcements, not just because of Zhang Shouyue's appreciation of him, and the rumored dissatisfaction of Shen Qi with Liu Changzuo - the famous magic arrow of Han Fan really didn't get along with Wenchen, and Han Gang had heard of it - but he really had this ability.

Jing Sili and Han Gang were gossiping, and the topic unconsciously turned to the endless field in front of him, "When I saw this field, I realized that Gongzhou was not for no reason. ”

"It's still a shortage of people, if only we could add some more. It's just the current situation, how many people are willing to come to Xizhou and Gongzhou Tuntian? Han Gang sighed. Zuo Jin is a Tubo person, just for the sake of future generations, as long as there is money, he still buys a house and land in Qinzhou. Coming to Xihe Road is pure pillowing. While farming, you must also be ready to fight at any time, and no ordinary person can have such courage. Now the stability of Gongzhou still depends on the rebellion of the Guangrui Army. ”

"The Guangrui Army is also a rare elite. Otherwise, there would be no such a big noise among just 3,000 people. Jing Sili and Wu Kui have also met, and they also appreciate their martial arts and generals, who knew that it would become the current situation.

Han Gang didn't have Jing Sili's emotion, and said as if unintentionally: "I heard that this year, all the armies in the world will be withdrawn and merged, and all the old military numbers will be changed. ”

Jing Sili glanced at Han Gang, and the words of Jiyi on Xihe Road seemed to be too straightforward: "The Xiang army also has to go into battle, and they are indispensable for internal and external affairs. ”

Han Gang said with a smile: "I don't dare to fight the idea of reviewing the Xiang Army, those who don't review the Xiang Army can actually come in some other uses in addition to running errands in the restaurant of the official camp and running errands in the official eunuch's house." ”

"Like Tuntian?" Jing Sili asked tentatively.

"Just like Tuntian." Han Gang raised his horsewhip and pointed to the mountains and rivers in the distance, "Gongzhou has now been truly consolidated, and the words of the Economic Strategy Division, both the Han and the Tibetan have to stand up and listen." However, on the opposite side of Bird and Mouse Mountain, it is not the same situation as Gongzhou. Most of them are still in the hands of Mu Zheng, not to mention Taoxi. The Tibetan tribe in the north of Xizhou was almost swept away, whether they starved to death or died in battle, in fact, there were not many Tibetan people there who could stand up again. And the south of Xizhou is close to Minzhou, and last year the Economic Strategy Division had already set Minzhou, and now there are Fu Qing and Wang Weixin sitting in Minzhou and Xinan, where the Tibetan Department is quite honest. ”

Jing Sili was puzzled for a while when he heard this, the situation didn't sound very good.

I heard Han Gang continue: "It's just that the Tibetan people can't be trusted, and there are no Han people as the foundation, don't look at the deference now, once the court breathes a sigh of relief, they will be able to turn their backs in a blink of an eye." ”

"So you want to tuntian."

Jing Sili understood why Han Gang suddenly turned his interest to Xiang Jun, but it was a little too reckless to talk about it to himself who was still talking formally for the first time...... He was suddenly startled in his heart, and his eyes widened as he looked at the smile that Han Gang hung on his face, which was very natural, but seemed to be thorough,

'Could it be that my heart to stay in Xihe has been seen through?!' ’
