Chapter 750: Zhou Xiaoyu(2/2)
Especially when dealing with the Xixia people, if they destroy Xixia and let him deal with the Liao Kingdom, without this finger, they may be helpless, at least the judgment will not be so accurate. This is also the reason why he proposed to leave the court after destroying Xixia.
Otherwise, if it doesn't work well, it will become Xue Rengui, and he will be in a bad state and will not be safe in his later years.
Wang Ju asked again: "Zihou, how is the road to Yunnan with my husband?"
I also provided assistance last year, but this year I did not support Yunnan anymore. I had to prepare a lot of money and transfer it back to open the banking department.
"Yunnan Road is roughly fixed, which is the area west of the Kaijiang River in Tengchong Prefecture (referring to Enmeikai River). Because of the complex terrain, it can only be detained. The areas east of the area basically settled down. From Yongchang Prefecture and Weichu Prefecture, some people moved to settle down, persuaded them to raise horses, and then sold them to the court and vendors. And last winter, Yu Mudu attacked the people of Bagan, which scared him so much that he sent envoys to beg for mercy from us."
Wang Ju knew about this last year. In fact, since the winter of the previous year, Zhang Feng has been planning how to fight the Bagan Kingdom at the lowest price.
The reason is that since Wang Ju obtained Dali, the Bagan Kingdom thought Dali was unstable, so it quietly expanded its sphere of influence northward, causing the Lanna area and the Mengfan area (Ching Rai area in northern Thailand) to fall to Bagan one after another.
However, Zhang Feng was restrained by Tengchong Prefecture in the south, and he wanted to suppress the rebellion within, further implement land reform, and cooperate with Lin Guang to clean up the areas ruled by Qidi, so he could not be distracted from the south.
But in the letters between the two, he revealed that he planned to lure the Bagan army to the border through induction and wipe out it out in one fell swoop.
Wang Ju didn't know how to fight last winter, and Zhang Yu's plan had been successfully implemented.
The significance of this battle is not to truly defeat the Bagan Kingdom, nor to want to occupy them. It is mainly to deter them from expanding their power northward.
Anyway, he has been fighting for the past few years, but Zhao Xu is afraid of losing the major events in the south and has no way to recall him.
"It's good if you win." Wang Ju said happily.
After all, it went deep into the Mudu area (southern of the Shan State area of Myanmar), and it was almost completely tropical and dense mountain forest terrain. For the Song army, combat in this environment was very unfavorable.
Wang Ju asked again: "Who are the chiefs of the Sixth Road in Shaanxi?"
"Yongxing Army is Liu Xidao, Liu Xidao, and Fuyan Road is Liu Changzuo."
“Huh?”
"This battle is the most dazzling he showed."
In fact, Li Xian performed well, but when it comes to eunuchs, the literati and officials dare not speak for him. As for Zhong Yan, he was too independent in the attack of Xia, and his performance during the defeat of Yongle City was even more heartbreaking, so Zhang Dun did not mention it, although Zhong Yan had just passed away.
Zhang Dun also said: "Jingyuan Road is Lu Binglu Zhongfu, Huanqing Road is Zhao Gongcai, Qinfeng Road is Liu Jin and Liu Yuanzhong, and Xihe Road is General Miao Shu. Taibao wants to replace one person with a husband and wife?"
In fact, except for Liu Changzuo, Miao Shu and Zhao Fu, the other three people were not competent in these six ways, especially Liu Xiang from Yongxing Army, who was also Wang Ju's political enemy.
"I have this idea. Even if I join forces with my husband to manage the west of the Tengchong Prefecture, I cannot really manage it. Not only can I find the west of the Kaijiang River, but some areas on the snow-capped mountains in the northwest, and the southernmost areas. Now the surrounding areas around Wumeng have been completely pacified, and the goal of connecting Dali has been basically achieved. However, for the specific situation, I have to ask with a special hand."
"Zi'an, it's difficult to deal with Xixia now. It's two crushing defeats. By the way, with that kind of artillery, it's easy to deal with Xixia."
