Outside the command post, Zhao Lei, Yang Wenguang, Di Qing and others were intently looking at the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Gyeongju spread out on the table.

"There are generally three routes for the Western Xia to invade my Great Song Dynasty, the first is to go south on the eastern line, which can invade Lanzhou, Xizhou and other places, the second is to go south on the middle line, to invade my Qingzhou and Yan'an Mansion, and the third is to directly invade the three sides on the Western Road, and now Yuan Hao has taken Maoniucheng and returned to Western Xia, and has quelled the internal rebellion, the next goal is definitely to take revenge on my Great Song Dynasty and unite to deal with Western Xia, so the last general thinks that Yuan Hao of Western Xia will definitely send troops to invade my Great Song Dynasty soon." Yang Wenguang pointed to the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Gyeongju on the table, and solemnly said to Zhao Lei, Di Qing, Tang Jie, and the sisters in the army who were standing around.

"Yuan Hao won't do it himself, it won't do him any good to provoke my Great Song Dynasty, even if he retaliates, at most, it is just a minority who defected to the Western Xia and plundered the frontier, so what we have to deal with is estimated that only the Qiang people in Malingzhai and a small number of Western Xia soldiers, and the official estimates that the number will not be more than 20,000." Zhao Lei touched his chin and said to the people around him with a deep groan.

"Twenty-five thousand people, no, Western Xia has never sent so many troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty at one time, and besides, Western Xia has just lost tens of thousands of troops, plus the enemy on three sides, and may send so many troops to invade Gyeongju!" Di Qing immediately retorted.

"How many troops the Western Xia sent over, we will know when they are dispatched. Now we are talking about settling the families of those soldiers who have migrated over, and now there are nearly 700 families and more than 3,000 people in Gyeongju, and our main thing now is to settle them, not to discuss the Western Xia army that has not yet been dispatched. Yang Jinhua saw that Zhao Lei and the others were actually discussing off topic, and immediately corrected their mistakes and said.

Zhao Lei, Yang Wenguang and others smiled at each other. They have now integrated into the role of soldiers, and no matter what they do, they have begun to look at it from the perspective of military personnel, and they will go off topic when discussing the settlement and relocation of military families.

"Lord Sun of Gyeongju Zhizhou has already prepared all kinds of materials, and now we are just waiting for us to discuss the place where the military cantonment is, does Lord Zhao think that the military tun should be placed there?" Di Qing asked Zhao Lei respectfully.

"The place of the military cantonment, preferably close to the border, and with a strong fortified city to rely on, is the most appropriate place in my opinion." Zhao Lei pointed to a place on the map and said confidently.

"White Stone Village!" Served in Gyeongju for more than twenty years. Tang Jie, who was familiar with the geography of Gyeongju, looked at Zhao Lei in surprise and said.

"White Rock Village? Where? Xiao Ruoruo looked at Tang Jie and asked suspiciously.

"In the seventh year of the Heavenly Sage, the Western Xia sent troops to build the White Leopard City in Gyeongju and Bianjing in the Western Xia, and then built a walled city all the way to the south in order to invade our Great Song Dynasty. These walled cities went as far as more than 100 miles into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, cutting off the connection between Yan'an and Gyeongju, and later the Yongxing Army commanded the envoy to send troops to attack these walled cities, and forced the Western Xia army into the White Leopard City, and then demolished many walled cities. And this Baishi Village is one of the walled cities that have not been demolished in the frontier, more than forty miles southeast of Baibao City. There are basically no people there, and there are not only large barren fields nearby, but also terraced fields and natural pastures, which is a good place for military camps. Tang Jie told the matter of Baishizhai very carefully.

"It's so close to the White Leopard City in Western Xia, will the military camp there provoke the Western Xia army to attack?" Yang Jinhua said with some incomprehension.

"Probably not, after the walled city near White Leopard City was uprooted, the Tangut people had gradually abandoned the castle, leaving only a battalion of five hundred old and weak people to stay there, and they hadn't touched it for several days. Moreover, Baishizhai is built on a steep hill, although it is not as good as our military camp, but it is not far behind, plus the soldiers who are allowed to cut off by the adults keep the weapons in their hands, the Xixia people of Baibao City do not dare to attack Baishizhai. Di Qing thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"The official also carefully inquired about the situation of Lord Sun's Baishi Village, the cottage is well preserved, can accommodate 10,000 people, and there are grain fields and pastures around, it is a good place for the military camp, the only doubt is the Xixia people in Baibao City, but we can build a beacon tower in the middle of Baishi Village and Baibao City, a distance of more than forty miles, plus there is no cavalry in Baibao City, it is estimated that it is safer than the people of Gyeongju, we are only sixty miles away from Baishi Village here, and the cavalry can hear the news, and they are not afraid of the invasion of the Xixia people at all, Besides, those soldiers were cut off and weapons were left, and if they did not dare to resist when they encountered the Tanguts, the army would not be safe around Gyeongju City. Zhao Lei said.

"Now that the Lord has made up his mind, the last general and the others are all sent by their own devices!" Seeing that Zhao Lei had already planned it, Di Qing and the others were of course impossible to refute, and said in support of the boat.

"Good! In this case, the non-commissioned officers of the military camp do not need to train these days, and go to Baishizhai with the relocated people to build houses and reclaim wasteland. Zhao Lei slapped the table and said loudly.

……

The difference is that the Gyeongju military camp is a bluestone barracks, while the baeksokzhai is built of giant trees.

The Baishi Village is very wide and flat, but the weeds are everywhere, and the wooden houses built by the surrounding Xixia people still stand on the mountainside, with thick dust and cobwebs, but you can live in it if you clean it.

Near noon, a long procession, dragging the family with the mouth, slowly came to the Baishi Village, on both sides of the team, thousands of Song cavalry and two or three thousand Song infantry guards this team.

"My lord! In front of it is Baishi Village. The Gyeongju official who led the way said respectfully to Zhao Lei, who was riding on a war horse.

"It's Baishi Village in front! The surrounding scenery is good, if there are no those hateful Xixia people, it is a good place to live and work in peace and contentment! Zhao Lei looked at the scenery around Baishizhai and said with a sigh.

"Enemy attack! The Western Xia horse thief is coming. In the middle of the long procession, someone suddenly shouted bitterly, and then the entire migration procession, like boiling hot water, "boomed" into chaos.

The old men in the procession sat on the ground trembling with fear and trembling, looking at the cavalry galloping in the direction of the White Leopard City with a blank face, while the young men and women of the team scattered and fled with their children and daughters, shouting of fear as they fled.

The food rations, seeds, and daily necessities brought by the people were scattered all over the place, and occasionally one or two old people and children could be seen, abandoned in the ranks, crying alone.

"This is the veteran soldiers and people that the adults are going to use to defend the army against the invasion of Western Xia, it's really ......" Xiao Ruoruo looked at the panicked and scattered people with a shocked face, and said incredulously.

Zhao Lei looked at the cavalry coming from afar with a bitter face, they were originally the cavalry team sent by Zhao Lei to find a place to build a beacon tower, but now they were misunderstood by the people in the team as the Xixia people, but they were so frightened that the migration team scattered and fled.

"My lord! The last general is very suspicious that these people, who are less courageous than rats and have a more docile personality than rabbits, have the courage to resist the Tangut here, looking at the way it is today, I am afraid that as soon as the Tangut people come, they will immediately run away without a trace, give the grain they have worked hard to cultivate and the cattle and sheep grazing to the Tangut people, and then ask the court for relief, I heard that many people in the frontier do this. Fan Quan, who was behind Zhao Lei, looked at the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were scattered and fled with disdain, and said loudly to Zhao Lei.

"Those who are willing to come here are southerners, southerners are rich, but the land annexation is serious, many people have no arable land, so they are willing to come here to come to the army, but compared to the cold life, the northerners who are close to the frontier, the southerners who live a calm and rich life cherish life more, the last general has changed guards and gone to the south of the Yangtze River, where the army is more rotten, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are rarely good at horsemanship, many people have to hire porters to transport food, plus there is no shortage of food and clothing, few people are willing to be soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the army is even lower ridiculous. In the Lingnan turmoil in the second year of Tiansheng, three hundred rebels actually defeated the soldiers and horses of the first army, but there were two thousand five hundred people! It's really ridiculous to say, if the Great Song army does not reform again, I am afraid that in thirty or fifty years, there will be no available soldiers. Tang Jie, the oldest here, looked at the chaotic people and the Gyeongju soldiers who maintained order, and said with a sigh.

Zhao Lei frowned and was silent, he began to wonder if his proposal to military tun was really correct, let these tame rabbit-like people settle here, in addition to giving the Xixia people the opportunity to plunder, can they really resist the invasion of the Xixia people!

"Lord Qiyu! The displaced people have settled down, but two elderly people and a child died in the chaos just now, and the family of the deceased is crying, how should the adults deal with it? The Gyeongju official who led the way came over at this time, looked at Zhao Lei's somewhat dark angry face, and said in a low voice.

"The dead are buried on the spot, and the families of the deceased who are crying, who kills them let them go to whom! Leave the materials on the ox cart to them, let them get the houses and plough the land by themselves, and tell them that in the future, unless the Tangut people attack, Gyeongju will not care about anything! The 7,000 people who were escorted by 3,000 people, including more than 2,000 veterans armed with knives and guns, were actually frightened like this by hundreds of cavalry of their own people, and three people died, what a shame to say! Let's go, let these guys fend for themselves here! The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more angry he became, and after he finished speaking loudly, he turned his horse's head and raised his whip to leave.

Yang Wenguang, Di Qing, Tang Jie, Yang Jinhua, Xiao Ruoruo and others looked at the people who had migrated from the south with pity, and also rode their horses and left.
