readx;?“ Lord Zhou, let's talk about the reason first! Gao Huaiyuan said to Zhou Cong'an. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Yes! Your Excellency! Lord Zhao, the reason why Prime Minister Gao did not talk to Saban about Tubo's entry into the Song Dynasty for the time being, and dared to guess that in the opinion of the following officials, although Saban came to Lizhou with the lowly rank this time, it does not mean that they have decided to submit to our dynasty, after all, our dynasty has been weak for many years, and the Tubo people still don't believe that we can become strong in a short time, and after all, the Mongolian Tatars have been almost invincible in the southern and northern wars over the years, and the destruction of dozens of countries in a row is already known to the world. Our dynasty is not an opponent of the Mongol Tartars, so that they cannot resist the invasion of the Mongol Tatars, incurring the ** revenge of the Mongols!

Gao Shuxiang, this is how the lower official views this matter, I don't know if the lower official is right? Please also ask for the cardinal's advice... Zhou Cong'an was also calm, and did not show nervousness because of a high-ranking official like Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately laughed and applauded softly: "Not bad! Mr. Zhou is absolutely right! It is for this reason that we are not in a hurry to let Lord Saban make a decision, if we want others to submit to our dynasty, our dynasty always has to come up with a convincing capital first!

The Tibetan people are not stupid at all, they will also wait and see the current situation in the world, if we are not enough to be the enemy of the Mongolian Tartars, even if we give them more rewards, no matter how generous the conditions, I am afraid it will not be enough for them to return to our court, but if our dynasty performs well, the Mongolian Tartars are all over the ground looking for teeth, this official thinks, even if we don't give them many rewards, don't give them generous conditions, they will still flock to me, this world still depends on strength to speak, no strength to say nothing! ”

Zhao Kui suddenly realized, nodded again and again, but Yue Kun and Huang Yan seemed to smell something immediately, their eyes immediately lit up, and they hurriedly looked at Gao Huaiyuan. "What the cardinal minister said is extremely true! But what do we do next? Zhao Kui immediately asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Everyone in the lobby immediately focused their eyes on Gao Huaiyuan's body, and Gao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "This official doesn't say it first, I want to let Yue Shushuai first, I don't know what Yue Shushuai thinks to do?" ”

Yue Kun hurriedly got up, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "Lord Cardinal must think that this time General Li and Lord Zhou alone sent an envoy to Tibet, and the force they showed off was not enough to convince the people of Tubo to convince our dynasty!" Does the Prime Minister want Lord Saban to be here, to see our army and show them the strength of our dynasty once again? ”

"Hahaha...... Not bad! Yue Shushuai's guess is indeed good! This is also another reason why this official came to the local area this time......" Gao Huaiyuan immediately laughed...

can meet a good general like Yu Jue, Gao Huaiyuan naturally refused to let Yu Jue continue to be a small master under Zhao Kui, and immediately Gao Huaiyuan asked Yu Jue from Zhao Kui's subordinates and put him by his side to do things, and Zhao Kui did not object, and immediately agreed to Gao Huaiyuan's request and gave Yu Jue to Gao Huaiyuan. After Gao Huaiyuan thought about it for a while, he temporarily let Yu Jue be a general under him, of course, before Yu Jue showed his talent, he would not be given a real position, which would be difficult to convince the public, but Yu Jue also knew that Gao Huaiyuan was deliberately promoting him, and after following Gao Huaiyuan, he would definitely have a smooth career in the future, and the future could be said to be bright, and he was naturally grateful to Gao Huaiyuan in his heart.

When Gao Huaiyuan told Zhao Kui, Yue Kun and others the plan formulated by the staff headquarters, Lizhou Road was busy again, Saban was placed in the Illusion Temple, Zhou Cong'an and Zhao Kui were responsible for receiving Saban's daily life, and for Saban's entourage, Gao Huaiyuan also ordered that they should not restrict their freedom too much, so that they could move freely in Lizhou, take them to see whatever they want, give them full freedom to see more of the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty...

At the same time, the four major Sichuan garrison armies of Lizhou Metropolitan Division, Chuzhou Metropolitan Division, Xingyuan Prefecture Metropolitan Division, and Jinzhou Metropolitan Division were also mobilized, and each Metropolitan Division was ordered to draw out the most elite soldiers who had been training for more than two years, and began to move northward.

Although Li Ruohu has just returned to Lizhou with the army, but still ask Ying to fight, Gao Huaiyuan simply transferred this group of men and horses from various armies, all of them are in the loyal army under Li Ruohu, and led the army back to Jiezhou for a short period of rest, and Zhou Hao can finally fight side by side with Huang Yan this time, after he entered Sichuan with Gao Huaiyuan, he was responsible for leading Gao Huaiyuan to bring the 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing Division, and Xie Quan, the artillery commander of the front division of the palace, was attributed to his subordinates and became Gao Huaiyuan's personal army. Yue Kun and He Jin's Lizhou and Xingyuanfu garrison armies were combined, with a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, and began to garrison in Xihezhou, with Yue Kun as the main force; Huang Yan and Lu Youliang's Chuzhou Army and Jinzhou Army joined forces, also a total of 30,000 people, stationed in Fengzhou, and Gao Huaiyuan himself collected 5,000 soldiers and horses in front of the headquarters of the palace, plus 10,000 soldiers and horses of the loyal army Li Ruohu stationed in Chengzhou to sit in the center, this transfer can be said to have gathered all the elite soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the Southern Song Dynasty, in addition, Zhao Kui also mobilized more than 40,000 people to transport various grains and armor for the army to fund the military. Even more than the number of soldiers and horses mobilized in the third year of Baoqing, it is not too much to use the nest...

Before making such an arrangement, Gao Huaiyuan also personally went to see Saban again, and invited Saban and others to visit the camp of the Lizhou Metropolitan Division, and at the same time let Saban and other Tibetan monks also watch the scene of the Lizhou Metropolitan Division's soldiers and horses swearing to send troops.

When looking at these neatly arranged Song troops on the colonel's field, with banners and bright armor, Saban and the monks he led couldn't help but be secretly surprised, they thought that the Song army led by Li Ruohu was already the most elite soldiers and horses among the Song people, but when they saw the nearly 20,000 troops in Lizhou today, they still gasped, because the equipment level of this army was higher than that of the Song army led by Li Ruohu, although they were mainly infantry troops, However, most of the armor worn by the generals is a new type of armor, and at a cursory glance, you can feel the strong defensive power of this armor, so after wearing it on people, the officers and soldiers look extremely powerful...

I saw that the spears on the school field were like a forest, the swords were dazzling, and all the officers and soldiers were young and strong, without the slightest wind of decadence, and there was a faint sense of murderous aura, which made everyone who watched the ceremony amazed.

Just after the tiger general on the high platform gave the order, as the drum sounded, the officers and soldiers in the school immediately let out a loud roar at the same time, this roar was connected together, like thunder straight into the sky, and the timid people leaned back slightly, and their eyes widened in shock...

Immediately after that, these soldiers and horses, with the movement of the order flag, began to stride out of the school field under the leadership of their respective officers, and drove along the wide official road towards the north of Lizhou City, one by one the phalanx was not chaotic at all, except for the sound of the rubbing of the armor leaves and the sound of footsteps, only the roar of the officers giving orders was left, and there was no other noise.

"Lord Saban! I beg your pardon for not being able to accompany you here! This official still has important things to handle, and I hope Lord Saban will bear with me! After this official finishes this matter, he will naturally come back immediately to meet Lord Saban! If Lord Saban needs anything here, just ask Lord Zhao and Lord Zhou to mention it! This official is out of company! Gao Huaiyuan strode in front of Saban, who was watching the ceremony, and said to Saban with his hands together...

Saban also hurriedly folded his hands and bowed his head and said in Tibetan: "I wish Lord Gao a successful start, and the Buddha will bless your Lord and these soldiers!" ”

For Gao Huaiyuan's large-scale troop transfer this time, in fact, no one told Saban what the Tibetan monks and laymen were going to do, but Saban, as a wise person, immediately guessed the reason why Gao Huaiyuan did this, and he didn't let people continue to inquire, so as not to cause any misunderstanding, after all, this matter is a military secret of the Song people, and it is no good to ask more, but Saban believes that someone will tell him this answer soon, so he plans to wait and see what happens, and wait until Gao Huaiyuan comes back this time to talk about the return of Tubo to the Song Dynasty.

Gao Huaiyuan did not go to Xihezhou with Yue Kun, he led the five thousand elite soldiers of the front division of the palace to go to the Immortal Pass to inspect the garrison there, and when he arrived at the Immortal Pass, the Immortal Pass guard Ma Yi immediately went out of the pass to greet him, and welcomed Gao Huaiyuan and his party into the Immortal Pass.

Returning here again, Gao Huaiyuan stood on the pass and looked around, although the guards were still horse wings, but after three years of rectification, the defenders here were no longer as before, and they had already changed into new armor, and their mental outlook was not comparable to that year.

And the garrison force has also expanded to 2,500 people, so that the defense capability of the Xianren Pass has been greatly strengthened, and the Xianren Pass has obviously been expanded and repaired again, the wall of the pass has been thickened a lot, and it has been heightened a lot, so that the Xianren Pass has become an absolute dangerous pass, every hundred steps, a watchtower has been built, on which are placed a whirlwind cannon and bed crossbow, in the most dangerous place, even placed a brand new fierce fire oil tank, there are horse wings these people to guard this place, Gao Huaiyuan has nothing to worry about, For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan greatly praised Ma Yi and the soldiers under his command, which made these people excited, patting his chest and assuring that as long as they were there, it would be difficult for the immortals to surpass even the immortals.
