Dong Guangmai is still a little knowledgeable, and he talked eloquently at the moment, in fact, he only went to Huining once and then went to Lanzhou and then went south, many places did not have time to go, and his understanding was not very comprehensive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, Wen Yuankai didn't dare to let him know everything, and it was good to let him have a general understanding of being able to return to Beijing.

"Then how to set up a defense zone after the war? Can the ministers of the DPRK and China have a vote? Zhang Yue made three suggestions in the chapter last year, and I don't know if it will be adopted in the end.

"I don't know yet, but when I set out from Tokyo, Wang Wenbo, Wang Qiwu, and Wei Daoji agreed to set up a strategic envoy to govern the military states of Hehuang, so the advantage is obvious, and there is no need for large-scale immigration. However, Fan Wensu, Dou Kexiang, Zhang Xuangui and others held opposing opinions, believing that Jiezhen should be set up according to the usual practice, but they did not agree with immigration, and the officials did not show their mouths, and they did not know how to make a decision in the end. Dong Guangmai replied.

"Huh...... When you set up a festival town...... What does Li Dashuai think? Zhang Yue turned his head to look at Li Hui, this is also an old handsome man who is nearly fifty years old, but his qualifications and prestige are just average. It is said that he is greedy for good goods, and loves to marry others with small favors to invite his name.

"I'm afraid that I can't raise troops in the town, and if the Tibetan people rebel, it may be wasted, which is really not a long-term strategy." Li Hui nodded and said, in fact, he saw that Zhang Yue was inclined to set up a strategic envoy, and he was happy to agree. After all, he was once Liu Zhiyuan's subordinate, but he was not trusted by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

"A certain also thinks so, if there is a festival town, then it must be immigrated, otherwise how to defend the land, how to support the army? If the whole army is reclaimed, then important matters such as training and repairing city defenses will be left behind. Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"General Zhang don't worry, although we did not explicitly support the establishment of the Economic and Strategic Envoys, but the situation in Hehuang is still as it is, after all, the ministers of the DPRK and China have not been to the northwest, if they know the truth, they should approve it." Zhai Congen also smiled.

"It is not a safe policy to set up a festival town, if it must be like this, then at least four or five military states must be under the jurisdiction of the state to have enough troops to garrison the border and reclaim, the two lieutenant envoys have been inspected, you might as well follow the truth." Chang Deben had a tooth burst and smiled.

"This is a natural thing, when we return to Jingzhou, we must also accept and copy a directory of the number of households in the map of Jing, Wei and the original three states, and we also need to provide convenience from Zhang Envoy." Dong Guang bought the archway.

"It's no problem, just find Niu Zhidu, and the other Hushe is in Jingzhou, and I don't know if the condition has improved." Zhang Yue said indifferently, the number of households, it can be said that there is no festival town in the whole world, the number of households in the four states of Changyi is accurate and clear, and the number of households in other festivals and towns is decreasing year by year, and Zhang Yue has added several counties under his rule, and the number of households is increasing year by year.

After a day's delay, Ma Renyu and Dong Guangmai were sent away, Zhang Yue and Li Hui led their troops from Dingxi Fort to Lanzhou, and the supply line of the military village along the way has been completed by Zhai Congen, Changde Benwen Yuankai and others to send township soldiers to complete, and the township soldiers are being organized to transport grain and grass to Jincheng continuously.

On the way, he received a message sent by Zhang Jianxiong from Qinzhou on the southern line, and on the 15th, he had gone to Chengzhou to join forces with He Jiyun, the commander of the Weisheng Festival in Fengzhou, and would ride 20,000 people south to Huaidao in Danzhou, preparing to go south to Songpandi.

Shi Deyuan, who had sent troops in advance, also sent back the news, and Liu Xinfa and Sun Yanshou led 7,500 troops from the foot of Shijing Mountain in Diezhou to the northwest, and went to the source of Taoshui, Xicangzhou, Guang'en Town, to defeat the 12,000 troops of the three divisions of the Tibetan people.

Their troops were too far apart, and the transmission of military information would lag behind for more than half a month, so how to use troops depended on their own control, so Zhang Yue no longer paid attention to it, and arrived in Jincheng on February 23, where he joined forces with 22,000 troops from Xuan Chongwen, Shi Chenghong, and Du Yanhui, with a total strength of nearly 40,000.

It seems that the troops are abundant, but in fact there is no advantage, because if the Qingtang and Qiang departments around Qinghai can form a joint force, the total number of troops will be 1230,000, but the actual well-equipped soldiers may only be 40,000 or 50,000.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

As early as the beginning of the first month of spring, the Lantao states were urging the collection of cattle and sheep, and the township soldiers and grain teams in Jingzhou, Huizhou were endless, although the patriarch of the Fan people verbally submitted to the Great Zhou, but it was only forced to be helpless, seeing that the Zhou army continued to use troops, someone immediately flew to report to the city of Zongge in Shanzhou.

He was originally the commander of the Lanzhou garrison, with more than 10,000 troops, and brought 5,000 to Zongge City as a guard, Lanzhou lost no foundation, and his guards all needed to be provided by the Great Shang Wen Fan and the Right Shang on Yingchengsky, in fact, they were like puppets, and the power was in the hands of the Great Shang Theory, that is, the Great Minister Wen Fan.

However, last year, Wen Fan's cousin Wen Qishi was defeated in Lanzhou, losing 20,000 clan soldiers, and Zhuo Luo Zunli was also defeated in Longxi, and Cao Hanqiang, who had always obeyed Wen Fan's orders, also had to surrender to the Great Zhou, which caused Wen Fan's power and prestige to plummet. However, the big chiefs of the Qingtang tribes, the right chief of the right Ji and the right Shang on Yingchengsky did not suffer any losses, and his power naturally increased.

Zongge City is located between Miaochuan City and Qingtang City, each of the three places is about 100 miles apart, but it is only a small city on the north bank of Huangshui, just the two sides form a balance of power, holding Zampu hostage in the middle.

In the evening of that day, after receiving an urgent report from the Qiang people in Hezhou, Wen Fan was secretly worried in his heart, and immediately sent his son Hante to summon Wen Qishi and Zhuo Luo Zunli to the mansion to discuss secretly.

The Qingtang Qiang people inherited some traditions learned from the Central Plains during the Tubo period, and the nobles also liked to sit separately. Wen Fannian was about forty years old, with an obese body, a round robe that was propped up and turned over, and a light beard on his folded fat chin.

"It's only been a winter, and there has been movement in Tao, He, and Lan Prefectures again, this is a report sent by the Qiang chief of Hezhou, you can all take a look." Wen Fan picked up a roll of nitrated sheepskin from several cases, which could be remembered.

The parchment rolled around in the hands of several people, and returned to Wen Fan's desk, but after a moment of thought, they all looked at each other and remained silent.

Zhe Ge Zhi was relatively young and a little unbreathable, so he spoke first: "I learned that the Zhou army in the Central Plains has been using troops for many years, and it is said that more than 200,000 troops have been mobilized to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and although the troops in the northwest are smaller, they also need to use a lot of grain and grass, so the Great Zhou has no spare strength. If we contact Li Yiyin in Xiazhou to start an incident, he will definitely consider it. There are also Liao and Taiyuan Liu, all of whom can send envoys to form allies. ”

"Humph! What's the use of that? Li Yiyin, Liao Guo and Taiyuan Liu are afraid that they will only think about looting themselves, and they will not be able to save us from thousands of miles away. Winchsch said disdainfully.

Wen Fan's face was displeased when he heard this, but he couldn't reprimand him, so he asked, "Then what is your best strategy to resist the enemy?" ”

"We can ask Zampu to issue an edict and order Qingtang Yingchengsky and Khenbu Lanwang, Shudun City, who are scattered in Longyang Gorge and Dafeichuan, to lead support. Another envoy was sent to the city of Fuqi in Haixi, and asked the monk Lin Zhangon to unite with the eight departments of Haixi to support together, as long as it was successful, it would be no problem to repel the Zhou army. Winch advised.

"But the monk Lin Zhangon is too far away from us, and he doesn't agree with Xin Zampu, if you invite him to Haidong to support, one bad thing is to lure the wolf into the room!" Wen Fan said with some concern.

In the heyday, they ruled over 40,000 households in Sanji, and their influence extended to the Shule Nanshan Mountains of Shazhou in the north, and the Karakoram Mountains and Buda Mountains in the south, and the entire Qaidam Basin in Haixi was under their control.

"This is the most feasible way to find foreign aid now, the departments south of Jishi Mountain want to go north, the road is very difficult to walk, and the southern plateau is a pot of porridge, they are also unable to withdraw, please think twice!" Wen Qishi insisted on his opinion, thinking that maybe he could save himself, and said: "If you want to say that we have a lot of people in each department, we can do it if we recruit tens of thousands of troops, but we have to send an envoy to Ganzhou with cattle and horses to exchange." ”

"Excellent! You can try your advice, and I'll see Zamp here, and I'll have to make a decision tomorrow. Wen Fan felt that it was reasonable, and decided to adopt the opinions of several people in its entirety.

Two days later, Zongge City sent several envoys, one route to Haixi Fuqi City, one route to Haixi Fuqi City. The other route went north to Ganzhou with Zhuo Luo Zunli, Zhe Ge Zhi and Han Te, and then Zhi Ge Zhi and Han Te went north from Ganzhou to Juyanhai, entered the jurisdiction of the Tiande Army in Montenegro of Liao, and then went to Xiazhou with Han Te as an envoy.

In the desert in late February, the climate is still dry and cold, and it is also the season of sandstorms. Maybe the last moment is the blue sky and white clouds under the sand dunes are undulating, and the distant and near scenes are clear, but the next moment the wind is howling and the yellow dust is all over the sky, which often catches people off guard.

With the Uighurs of Ganzhou as guides to lead the way, Gezhi and Hante rode camel teams, avoided the danger of being buried by sand and dust many times, crossed four or five hundred miles all the way, lasted more than half a month, and finally arrived at the Mi'a River in the southwest of Yinshan, met the herdsmen of the Bai Dadan tribe belonging to the Liao State, and after getting a good rest, they accelerated their march to the southeast, and soon arrived at the Black Mountain Military City of the Tiande Army.

After presenting gifts to express goodwill, the Liao officers received them, and then branched off here, and then went to the southwest road of Yunnei Prefecture to recruit the division, and then went to Datong Mansion on Xijing Road to meet Yelu Tartlie. He traveled south to Xiazhou, arriving in late March.

The location of Xiazhou City is unique, the Qiwu Mountain in the northwest resists the wind and sand of the desert, the Wuding River in the south of the city and the Wushui River in the north converge in the east of the city for fifty miles, although the suburbs of the city are hilly and undulating, but there are patches of fertile grassland.

In the middle of spring, the sun is shining, it is the time when the cattle and horses are fat, and a large number of war horses, cattle and sheep graze on the banks of the Wuding River, happily gnawing on the grass. It was the first time for Hante to be here, and as a group of plainclothes Liao soldiers arrived on the outskirts of the city, he saw someone coming to greet him, because the Liao Tiande army had sent someone to inform Li Yiyin first.
