Chapter 86 The Legacy of the Northern Song Dynasty
Qingyang Province.
Glancing at the newly sent report, Xiao Feng chuckled, undisguised his disdain.
"Is this guy crazy, and he only has such means, and he dares to propose marriage to me?"
Although she lives in Qingyang Mansion, she still ordered Xiao Jingmao, the government council, to send the important things that happen every day to herself, so that she can judge the situation in Chang'an City in time to avoid any unexpected situations.
Zhao Mengfu's matter was naturally looked at.
"It's just that the granary was burned down before, what happened?
Burning the note to ashes, Xiao Feng pondered again.
Previously, when she led the army to the Northern Expedition, she conquered Yan'an Mansion in the first battle, and the two forward troops she sent had already arrived in Baoan Prefecture and Suide Prefecture, and they only needed to completely occupy the entire Yanyan Road in one go.
Unexpectedly, the grain and grass suddenly caught fire for a while, making the next attack fall short.
And the Mongolian army has already deployed a large army in Qingyang Mansion, waiting for the logistics problems of the Chifeng Army, and then stepping into the Yanyan Road from Juzhou to attack the safety of the Chifeng Army from the north and south.
In order to protect the safety of the army, Xiao Feng ordered the rest of the troops to garrison Yan'an Mansion and stick to the results of the Northern Expedition, and he personally led the main force of the army to directly attack Qingyuan Road and attack Qingyang Mansion with the army of Chang'an, which completely wiped out the 30,000 troops that Mongolia had previously placed here.
Now, the Northern Expedition has begun to bear miraculous results, and it has occupied the area south of Yan'an Mansion, and the surrounding areas of Qingyang Mansion have also begun to stabilize, so Xiao Feng began to plan Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road, and the entire Northern Expedition plan has also been more than halfway through.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Duan Feng led a group of mermaids in.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Feng was a little strange, according to this time, Duan Feng and the others should be patrolling outside to prevent the Mongolian army from attacking, how did they come here together?
Duan Feng replied, "My lord, according to the information we have obtained, Mongolia has gathered a large number of troops in Pingliang Mansion, and it seems that they are planning to attack. ”
"Pingliang Mansion, I didn't expect that after so many battles, they would still have the strength to spare?" Xiao Feng was slightly surprised.
After several rounds of confrontation, the Red Phoenix Army has lost thousands of people, and these are because the Red Phoenix Army has established a fairly excellent medical security system, which can save the wounded in the first time and give adequate treatment.
And the Mongols are still the same as before, and their losses are more than tens of thousands.
After losing so much, the other party still has such combat effectiveness?
It's amazing!
Duan Feng smiled bitterly: "Most of the people we have annihilated are the Semu and Han armies that are attached to the main Mongolian forces, and the more they lose, the safer they are." ”
The Mongols were able to conquer the whole of Asia, naturally they could not rely only on the millions of sons of their own people, and the composition of their armies was mostly based on local subordinate armies, and the main force was used as a pressure formation, whenever it was engaged with the enemy, it would send an annex army to test first, and the main force was used as a deterrent.
In this way, one can weaken the strength of the annex army and avoid damaging the headquarters, and the other can also divide the enemy's will to resist, so that it cannot raise the will to resist.
As the Red Phoenix Army, which has been fighting against the Mongols all year round, is quite familiar with this.
"So, do we need to move faster, too?"
Xiao Feng's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a little anxious.
Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.
Even though the Red Phoenix Army is under the banner of reviving China and expelling the Tartars, if the war drags on for too long, it will lead to further depression in the economy of the Red Phoenix Army because of the transfer of too many people, and many materials will become more and more scarce, and when the living standards will decline, the people will also oppose it.
After all, since two years ago, Xiao Feng has issued a ban on alcohol in order to reduce food loss, prohibiting all wine-making behavior.
What happened to Cao Fu at the beginning was the impact of this.
"A year. We can only drag on for a year. Duan Feng replied.
The 70,000 main force of the Chifeng Army is stationed here, and the daily consumption of food is too much, even if there is a railway, but the railway to Qingyang Province has not been repaired, and it is still necessary to rely on livestock and civilian power to transport along the way.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment before replying, "Since that's the case, then we can only speed up our pace." Then he asked, "What about Yan Shen?"
In order to ensure the safety of Yan'an Prefecture, Xiao Feng handed over 30,000 troops to Yan Shen and ordered him to take Yan'an Mansion as the center to resist the attack from Suide Prefecture.
Duan Feng replied: "Everything is fine in Yan'an Mansion. There are no major problems for the time being. And according to your instructions, the railway from Yan'an to Tongchuan is also under construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another year. ”
"As long as the railway is built, there is no need to place so many troops in Yan'an. Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
This Yan'an Mansion is bordered by Mongolia in the north, and the Central Plains region is in the east, and the main Mongolian force is currently contained in Pingliang Mansion by the Chifeng Army, but there is no need to worry, just because he is worried about the movement in the direction of the Central Plains, Xiao Feng has set up an army of 30,000 in Yan'an Mansion, because only so many troops can ensure that there will be no situation in Yan'an Mansion.
Seeing that Duan Feng was about to leave, another thought flashed in Xiao Feng's mind, and he instructed: "By the way, you give me a message to the many cottage owners here, so that they can arrive in Qingyang Mansion within seven days, if they are outdated, they will be completely eradicated, you know?"
"Copycat?"
Duan Feng was puzzled for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask, "Lord, what are you talking about, are you talking about the cottages of White Leopard City, Dashun City, and Liyuan Fort?"
"That's right. You also know that these cottages have always been built in steep places, and if you want to take them down one by one, you have to spend too much energy. It is precisely because of this that I plan to take advantage of this time to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as not to affect my next strategy, you know?" Xiao Feng replied.
Duan Feng suddenly understood and replied, "I understand, I'll do it." ”
In general with the appearance of Nade Jingzhai, these cottages are basically from the Northern Song Dynasty when the Western Xia and Song Dynasty were at war, and the products left over.
At that time, in order to resist the invasion of Western Xia, the Song Dynasty once set up many fortresses in Gyeongju and Qingyangfu, such as Anbian Village, Guide Fort, Shunning Village and other cottages, all of which were established at this time.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, these cottages were naturally abandoned and occupied by the local natives.
Now it is the war between Mongolia and Song, when the three points compete for the world, the local people are panicked, so they have fled into these cottages, which also makes these cottages stronger, the small ones have thousands of people, and the many are as high as tens of thousands of people, and they have alliances with each other to jointly resist strong enemies.
Although they can't match the Red Phoenix Army, if these strengths are combined, they are also a big force.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Feng hit the idea on these cottages.
