The 80,000 soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army led by Cai Siwei and the Dingkun Army led by Zhang Binghui were all stationed in Shiquan and Hanyin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The idea of attacking Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road was negotiated many times, but Cai Siwei sent a large number of scouts to investigate the two places, and found problems from the detailed maps drawn.

Fengxiang Road is under the jurisdiction of Zhenrongzhou, Deshun Prefecture, Qinzhou, Longzhou and Pingliang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion and other places, Jingzhaofu Road is under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, Yaozhou, Huazhou, Tongzhou, Shangzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhaofu, Fengxiang Road and Jingzhaofu Road are closely connected, but there is Qingyuan Road in the middle of the two places, Fengxiang Road, Jingzhaofu Road and Qingyuan Road are like a tripod shape, and Qingyuan Road is just sandwiched in the middle.

This also indicates that even if the army occupies Fengxiang Road and Jingzhaofu Road, it will be difficult to get peace.

And from the map, even if it completely occupies Fengxiang Road, Qingyuan Road and Jingzhaofu Road, it is also difficult to get real peace, Lintao Road in the west, Xixia and Yanyan Road in the north, etc., are also a huge threat, especially Lintao Road in the west, which must disturb Fengxiang Road and other places are not peaceful.

It wasn't until this time that Cai Siwei really understood the meaning, why Wu Shaogang insisted on sending nearly 100,000 troops to conquer, if he only took Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, he would not need so many sergeants, it seems that Wu Shaogang's eyes have long been aimed at Lintao Road and Qingyuan Road.

On Fengxiang Road and Jingzhaofu Road, there are not many Mongolian sergeants stationed, and all of them are newly attached troops.

This situation has been maintained for a long time, the Mongol court in the occupation of Chengdu Fu Road and Lizhou East Road, once regarded this area as a safe place, the number of troops stationed is not very large, and later the Song army recovered Chengdu Fu Road and Lizhou West Road and other places, Kublai Khan also thought about strengthening the control of this place, but the Mongol army needs to deal with too many battles, and there is no time to take care of here.

From the fundamental reason, Kublai Khan did not attach special importance to this area, Lintao Road, Fengxiang Road, Qingyuan Road, Yanyan Road, including Jingzhaofu Road and other places, are regarded as barren land, a large number of loess slopes, the conditions for survival are suitable and bad, and after the Mongol court occupied these places, a large number of people fled, to the south and other places, which also made this area more barren, in this case, Kublai Khan and the Mongol court did not pay attention to it, it is also understandable.

However, for the adjacent Henan Road and other places, Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court still attached great importance to it.

The spring and early summer seasons should be rainy seasons, but there is obviously not much rain in this area, and from the information detected by the scouts, the land cultivated by the people is also partially barren, which is impossible in Sichuan and Yunnan.

In just about a month, Cai Siwei has a deep understanding of Jingzhaofu Road and other places.

At the end of May, Wu Shaogang arrived in Shiquan.

Wu Shaogang has always been the backbone of the army, and coming to Shiquan made Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui feel a lot more relieved.

The detailed report lasted for two hours, and a large number of maps were laid out on the table.

Wu Shaogang listened very carefully, and after the report ended, he did not speak immediately, but looked at Cai Siwei.

Cai Siwei gritted his teeth and spoke again.

"My lord, my subordinates think that just taking Fengxiang Road and Jingzhaofu Road is not enough to guard these places, and the army also needs to take Qingyuan Road and Lintao Road, and even take Yanyan Road, so that it can be regarded as real safety. . . ."

Wu Shaogang looked at Cai Siwei, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Cai Siwei, your suggestion is very good, it seems that you have also seriously thought about it, in the future, you must lead the troops to fight, you must have this kind of thinking, we just take Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, it is difficult to be peaceful, Lintao Road in the west will not be peaceful, followed by Qingyuan Road, sandwiched in the middle, it is not conducive to the stationing of the army, so take this area in a row, and boil it down to a whole, so it is convenient for us to rectify and govern."

"You have just reported, this area is very barren, so there are not many Mongolian sergeants stationed, and the attack of the army will not encounter too much resistance, and the investigation for a month has not found any trace of the Mongolian iron cavalry, almost all of them are newly annexed troops, and the situation that is more favorable to us is that the stationing of the new annexed army in this place is very scattered, and it is impossible to form a strong combat effectiveness, and the Mongolian officer who really leads this place is Boyan, this person is stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, and the whip is beyond reach, Even if there is a problem here, it is too late to rush to help. ”

"This information is something that we have not been able to grasp before, Yuan Shichun, give you half a month to verify this information in detail, and be sure to grasp all the actual situation."

Nearly 100,000 troops are stationed in Shiquan and Hanyin, and it is not possible to keep it completely secret, and some news has leaked out, but fortunately, the local government has cleverly dealt with it, saying that it is an order issued by the Yamen of Jiedu, because there is an invasion of Mongolian Tatars in Xiangyang, so Lizhou West Road and Lizhou East Road are to strengthen vigilance and protect the safety of the people.

This is the news deliberately released by the local government.

Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi both expected that Kublai Khan would also send people to spy on the intelligence of Sichuan, and it was impossible to completely block the intelligence line.

Instead of guarding it tightly, it is better to release some news to confuse the other party.

I believe that at this time, Kublai Khan must have thought that Sichuan and Yunnan were stable and nothing would happen, which was also an opportunity for Wu Shaogang.

However, Wu Shaogang knew that it was impossible to keep the news secret for a long time, and according to Kublai Khan's wisdom, he would definitely be able to discover the abnormality in the shortest possible time, and then make corresponding arrangements.

The timing of the offensive was set for mid-to-late June.

At this moment, it is summer, and the climate will not have much impact on the army, and more importantly, the Dingkun army participates in the battle, and the power it exerts will definitely be vividly reflected in the next battle.

June 12th.

All the information was verified by the Intelligence Agency.

Yuan Shichun stood aside with a stack of papers.

Wu Shaogang stood in front of a map hanging on the wall.

There are a lot of small blue flags pasted on the map, and these small flags are where the Mongolian army is stationed.

The small blue flags are very scattered and look very inconspicuous, especially on Lintao Road, only the Mongolian army is stationed in Lintao Fucheng and Huaiqiang, and the rest of the places are blank.

The place where the most new annexed troops are stationed is still Jingzhaofu Road, and every place under its jurisdiction is stationed with new annexed troops.

Chang'an, where Jingzhao Mansion is located, is a new annex army stationed on two roads.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and others have put forward their own views and opinions.

Wu Shaogang didn't speak first, but looked at Hao Jing beside him.

Hao Jing looked at the map and spoke first.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that it is still necessary to attack Jingzhaofu Road first, and after taking Jingzhaofu, control the entire Jingzhaofu Road in the shortest possible time, and at this moment you can divide your troops and take Fengxiang Road, Qingyuan Road and Lintao Road.

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court would be so indifferent to this place, perhaps because these places were too barren, in fact, Kublai Khan didn't seriously think about it at all, according to the Mongolian court's management of many prefectures and counties, can the local people not be poor."

"Kublai Khan's disregard for this area is just our opportunity, judging from the intelligence detected by the Scout and Intelligence Agency, it will not take more than three months for us to take Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road, Fengxiang Road and Jingzhaofu Road."

"In the process of conquest, all the armies need to pay attention to stabilize the local people, the people in these places are very poor, Cai Siwei once suggested, Unicom Yanyan Road, we all have to take it together, I don't think it is necessary for the time being, Yanyan Road is also a poor place, we take Dunyan Road, we need to consume more energy, to sort out the people's livelihood here, or let Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court continue to carry the ambition for a period of time, and when the time is ripe, we will take Dunyan Road."

"To stabilize the local people, the main thing is food, so in the process of conquest, we must also give the people some food appropriately, and don't watch them starve to death."

"Cao Wengang, you immediately send a letter to the Jiedu envoy Yamen, and ask him to order the Yunchuan Academy to prepare and send a certain number of officials to enter these places before the end of the year and stabilize these places."

"According to my prediction, the battle we are facing will not be particularly fierce, but how to stabilize the place and let the people really calm down is probably the biggest problem we will face."

"Lord Hao, please work hard in this regard."

。。。

The corresponding deployment was not very complicated, and with the support of intelligence, it was quickly completed.

Wu Shaogang, Hao Jing and Cao Wengang stayed in the house, and the rest went out to prepare.

"I once had an idea, in the middle of the battle, three points of war, seven points of politics, which means that the process of the battle will not be the final process, the key is how to stabilize the place, to be able to get the support of the people, Sichuan and Yunnan comparison, to stabilize Sichuan is easier, now Jingzhaofu Road and other places, occupied by the Jin soldiers and the Mongolian court for many years, what is the situation, we are not very clear, so we want to stabilize these places, it takes a lot of energy, If we can't stabilize these places, the people are always rebelling, and there are many bandits in the local area, then we can't be stationed here, Mr. Hao, Cao Wengang, then you really need to focus on the matter of stabilizing the place.
