"On the opposite side is Zhuo Luo of Western Xia and the Southern Military Division......" Uncle Zhang got off his horse at night and pointed to the opposite side and said loudly.
Wen Fei nodded, not paying much attention to it. For him, Western Xia is a distant historical memory. Maybe half of the Chinese in later generations do not know that this country has ever existed!
"The Tangut people are the most ferocious and brutal, and every winter after the Yellow River freezes, they will send troops to cross the river and come to our Great Song Dynasty to harass, kill the people, and rob women's wealth. Zhang Shuye pointed to the Yellow River, which was more than 300 meters wide.
In later generations, the weather became warmer, and the place where Wen Fei lived was not considered northern. Naturally, I can't imagine what the Yellow River will look like after it freezes over. didn't notice the point of Uncle Zhang's night talk at all.
"I'm going to build a fort in the place of Mumaji and garrison the troops, so that the summer thieves can't enter the prison!" Zhang Shuye said: "This place should be rushed, as long as I can build a fort here, I can report the safety of Lanzhou." It's not in vain that I'm an official here!
Wen Fei shrugged and said, "Since those Western Xia people can fight and rob in winter, you can also fight in winter." It's a good thing to defend a fart, the Verdun defense line is so powerful......" he said halfway, and immediately kept silent, he said Verdun this year, who knows?
"That's what I said...... Uncle Zhang said with a wry smile, he was different from ordinary scholars at this time, he liked military affairs, probably passed down from his grandfather. It's not the kind that ordinary scholars and doctors are afraid of when they hear about war.
Wen Fei didn't have as many scruples as him, and said: "If you want me to say, the Great Song Dynasty has money and food, and there are so many troops. Just wipe out the Western Xia directly, what else can you prevent?"
Uncle Zhang only smiled bitterly at all, after all, he was an immortal and didn't know the difficulties of the world. The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, from the time when Li Yuanhao founded the country, wanted to destroy the Western Xia. But in Li Yuanhao's era, he never won the war with Western Xia. After arriving at Zhenzong, he used troops on a large scale to recover the land of Hehuang, which was only regarded as cutting off the right arm of the western thief. Until today's official family, they are even more happy, and there is no way to get the Tangut people.
"The thief and us are separated by the desert next door, and it is difficult to cross...... It is difficult to transport grain and grass...... "Uncle Zhang is facing objective difficulties at night.
Wen Fei said: "After all, it is your Great Song Chongwen who is light on martial arts, the national strength is weak, and the army is too weak. I can't even destroy a little Xixia, and I have to find so many excuses!"
Uncle Zhang's face was flushed, and the two sides parted unhappily. Wen Fei is a person of later generations, and his impression of the Great Song Dynasty is that he is poor and weak in the textbooks, emphasizing literature over martial arts. The others were not too impressed, and naturally they looked down on Uncle Zhang quite a bit.
However, chatting with my father just now, I knew that it was not for nothing that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts. Since the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty court has been unable to control its military generals. The generals divided one side and fought against each other, causing chaos in the world, not to mention the misery of life. Moreover, after the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth generation, there were repeated rebellions, and those who were strong dared to call themselves emperors. Let the whole world become a mess!
With such a criminal record, after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, those ministers under the emperor all regarded those generals as thieves. This led to the situation that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and neglected military force.
"I have a lot more in the Great Song Dynasty than in modern times, in modern times I am just a little otaku, and Boss Huang can pinch me to death like an ant. But I was different in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the third generation of officials like Zhang Shuye, and he also respectfully called me the immortal master. Although the fan people are fierce, they are full of fear when they see me!" With such thoughts, Wen Fei's mind slowly changed. For the Northern Song Dynasty, the mentality of a pure outsider and a game has changed.
"It seems that Uncle Zhang is busy at night, and I still have to help. "He now knows the details of Uncle Zhang's affairs, although Uncle Zhang's Lanzhou record to join the army is not a big official, he only has eight grades. But this guy has a strong background, and his grandfather actually served as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Although his father had no one to fight for in his life, and he didn't mix up any big names, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Uncle Zhang was still a serious official for three generations.
Wen Fei was not familiar with the place in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he had to rely on the Zhang family! It was not difficult to help Zhang Shuye build a fortress, but what Zhang Shuye was worried about was that when the Western Xia people heard that he had built a fortress, they would send troops to harass him. However, Wen Fei can provide cement to Uncle Zhang, which can save more than half of the time, maybe by the time the Xixia people hear the news, the fortress will be completed.
This is not Wen Fei's nonsense, the big one in the wall, the city is surrounded by 900 steps, and the small one is 500 steps ....... The big one of the fort is surrounded by 200 steps, and the small one is 100 steps. With Uncle Zhang's small eight-grade record to join the army, he has the connections of his ancestors, and it is already very good to be able to build a small fort.
Breaking the sky is the kind of fort of 200 steps, but it is a fortress of this scale, according to Zhang Shuye, about 15,000 people will be mobilized to start construction for more than a month. Such a big action was known by the Tangut people, and they would definitely send troops to sabotage it.
But if there is enough cement, it will not take so many people at all, and it will not take that long. It's a big deal, I'll work harder, and then pull two truckloads of cement over.
Thinking of this, I solved a heart, and the wine surged. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was four or five o'clock, and my parents hadn't gotten off work yet. Wen Fei went out directly to find Zhang Yu, and said straight to the point: "Go, solve the problem of the house!"
Before Zhang Yu could react, he shouted, "What house, what problem to solve?" As he spoke, he suddenly reacted and shouted, "It's getting dark now!"
Wen Fei said that it was naturally the problem inside the old house, Zhang Yu was almost killed by a tile last time, and he knew afterwards that he was afraid. At this time, I heard Wen Fei shouting that he was going to the old house to solve the "things" inside, and he suddenly shouted.
"Nonsense, of course you have to go at night to fix that thing. He didn't dare to come out during the day!" Wen Fei said.
"If you want to go yourself, I won't go!" Zhang Yu said timidly.
To be honest, Wen Fei himself was a little scared, otherwise he wouldn't have come to pull the dead fat man along: "I haven't settled accounts with you about Huang Sheng, will you go?" Wen Fei asked bluntly.
As soon as he said this, Changyu was out of line. He reluctantly said: "Say yes first, I'll go with you this time, and our affairs will be written off!"
