The experience of the Qingdangu tribe finally made the Guzhou tribes silent. The Song army continued to come out to Guzhou, and the tribes went out to express their welcome. The welcome may not be because they were worried that their tribe would also encounter the consequences of the Qingdangu tribe.

Zhong Yi said: "Taibao, it seems that Aligu has really lost the hearts of the people."

The Song army advanced westward, with only the battle of Thunder Ridge, Qingdangu tribe, and the battle of attacking Bajinbao. In fact, the next two battles can only be regarded as small-scale battles, and they can almost be ignored on the battlefield of Song Xia.

"There are three reasons. Aligu is a Falcon, and he joined forces with the Khitan princess to kill the prestigious Xinmu clan, which was unpopular. In addition, he led a 90,000 army to invade Taohe, and only 60,000 troops came, with heavy losses, and the tribes further became more rebellious."

"Although the Tubo in Huangzhou is not close to our dynasty in Qinzhou, it will not be regarded as a mortal enemy like the people in Xixia. In addition, I have introduced some measures that have won the hearts of the people. The troops do not have the motivation to fight bloody battles, and without this motivation, they cannot shake our dynasty army."

"The water and soil deteriorate, and many people in our dynasty wrote history, saying that religion caused the Tubo to be divided into pieces, with too small population and too large territory, which promoted the Tubo to be divided into pieces. In fact, this reason is only part of the reason. The real reason is that the large-scale water and soil deterioration to the Wuhai, and until the Tubo Plateau, the tribes cannot form a whole, and they cannot unite together. As long as the O clan lineage is not allowed to enter the areas of Guzhou, Huangzhou and Jishi Army in Hezhou, Huangzhou, and Jishi Army in the future, Tubo will no longer harm our dynasty."

"Then in the future, Hehuang" Zhongyi was a little worried.

"Compared to the west of Chiling, the Hehuang area has rich hydraulic resources and will deteriorate slowly, but the future Hehuang will definitely not be as good as the current Hehuang."

Now Hehuang is still a suitable place to live. It is just like this large area, with hundreds of thousands of foreign households living in it. The population density is no less than that of some areas with slightly sparse population in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, there is no way to stop it, that is, rotation farming, or even fixed farming and fixed farming, and planting plants and trees. In fact, compared with the current water and soil of Hehuang, the water and soil on the other side of Australia are worse. If a little damage is made, major events will be gone. Therefore, Wang Ju repeatedly ordered rotation farming and rotation farming, and the number of livestock raised per unit area is limited. At the same time, the introduction of foreign species, especially some herbivorous animals, must be reviewed before they can be passed. Especially rabbits, strict introduction, but these crops and plants introduced to the Song Dynasty were also brought to the Song Dynasty after Wang Ju’s permission. But that is the other side, Hehuang can be smoothly pacified and there will be no large-scale rebellion in the future, so Amitabha Buddha is talking about a strict water and soil protection plan. Thinking of this, Wang Ju smiled and said, "That's too long. It's not something you and I can control."

The army continued to move towards the northwest

Liang Yi-bing invited Ren Duo Baozhong to come.

The two Liao envoys brought Renduo Baozhong to Youzhou. Last year, the Liao Kingdom went to Tongzhou in the south and Changchun Prefecture in the west, and all fell. Yelu Hongji could not go to Chunnabo in Changchunzhou, so he had to stay in Youzhou.

Yelu Gongchen came to report the situation one by one. Wang Ju's attitude was very arrogant, but the king and minister of the Liao Kingdom could understand that this was a butcher, killing god. I hope he could say anything good? But overall, it cannot be said that what others said is unreasonable.

The power of the Western Xia Dynasty was weak. If there were no capable people in the Song Dynasty, it would be fine. If this ruthless person was still constantly invading the Song Dynasty, could the Liao Dynasty be strong and could force the Song Dynasty to fight back and scold him?

So he summoned Renduo Baozhong and asked him to pass on the message to Liang Yibu and Xiaoliang, not to mention the oldest kings. The masters of the family are still the brothers and sisters. You immediately stop fighting against the Song Dynasty and rebuild the good news. Don’t find any trouble to do anything.

Yelu Hongji also had his thoughts when he said this, and the Liaodong area has not been solved yet.

He also heard about Wang Ju's three years, so let's get through these three years. Seeing that after three years, will Wang Ju leave the Song Dynasty? Even if Wang Ju Ping destroys Xixia, as long as Xixia does not take action, the Liao Kingdom will have a reason to send troops to help. But you keep invading others, but let our Great Liao Kingdom restrain the Song army from fighting back. Is there any reason?

There are also the rumored Wang Ju force, which also makes Yelu Hongji worried.

Just like in history, Zhang Yue destroyed the 300,000 Xixia army, and the Xixia was still alive and sent envoys to the Liao Kingdom for help. Yelu Hongji was also worried that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was a bit too amazing. Even if we sent troops, we, the Great Liao Kingdom, could not get anything. So while sending envoys to the Song Dynasty to persuade them, the envoys to Xixia and directly poisoned the warlike Xiao Liang family to death.

The two things have different backgrounds, but Yelu Hongji's mentality is basically the same.

Renduo Baozhong had been in labor reform for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he rode his horse depressedly.

However, when Liang Yibu heard that the Liao general Renduo Baozhong was "rescued" by the Liao Dynasty, he was overjoyed and personally welcomed him out of the city. Not only was the Renduo family close to the Liang family, Renduo Baozhong himself was also a tiger general who could fight. Moreover, although the Renduo family was huge, Renduo's father and son were captured by the Song army and had no other ranks, so he could not become Liang Yibu's capable arm.

However, after Renduobaozhong brought Yelu Hongji's words to him, Liang Yibi's face turned gloomy and he cursed, "The Lord."

Wang Ju led his troops to Huangzhou, as if he had entered an uninhabited enemy. This year, Aligu will be dealt with this year, and the Song Dynasty occupied Hengshan again. Once the troops were in a hurry, can the Liao Kingdom still have time to rescue?

From his perspective, it is indeed like this. It is indeed a good thing for the Liao Kingdom to restrain the Song Dynasty, but the question is that even without the Western Xia, can the Song Dynasty annihilate the Liao Kingdom? Besides, Yelu Hongji cannot tell Renduo Baozhong that we will send a large army to sweep Liaodong this year and have no ability to help you.

However, Renduo Baozhong arrived, Liang Yibi was a little stronger, and then he ordered military service and asked him to create an army of nearly 400,000, which was not yet at the point where everyone was a soldier. However, it was very close. At least six of the ten normal Ding Zhuang became soldiers.

However, Liang Yibi was still in poverty. The war was not a competition for the number of people. If that were the case, the Song Dynasty had already swept the world, and the number of the three armies seemed to be making up for it, but its actual combat effectiveness was far less than that of the original Xia army. The most troublesome thing was the people's livelihood in Xixia. When spring came, half of the people were digging wild vegetables and peeling the bark to survive the sun. With this kind of people's livelihood deteriorated, the Song Dynasty army would lead its troops north next year. What would Xixia use to stop it?

As for summoning, is it possible?

Until now, Liang Yibi has not woken up. It’s not that the Song Dynasty disagreed with peace talks. It’s just that the Song Dynasty did not agree to give the gifts to the next year, so Xixia launched attacks again and again a few years ago.

Could it be that the Song Dynasty really owed this huge debt to Xixia?

If the Western Xia had identified the current affairs of the year before and agreed to peace in time, at least the Song Dynasty has used troops and lacked some righteousness, and the Liao Kingdom would also be able to persuade. Now, the Western Xia is provoking the matter first every year. How can the Liao Kingdom persuade?

At this moment, he received an urgent letter from Aligu, which was the reason why Liang Yi, the general Renduo Baozhong, invited him to discuss.

After a while, Renduo Baozhong was taken to the Xingqing Palace. He bowed and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother and Prime Minister."

Xiao Liang said: "Prepare the whole country, when it is difficult, there is no need to be too polite, just keep your body calm."

"Thank you, the Queen Mother."

Liang Yibi summoned him to the table, with a Tubo topographic map on it, and said, "Baozhong, look at it. This is the distribution map of the Song army's troops in Huangzhou, from Bajincheng to Huangzhou. The Song army stationed more than 20,000 soldiers, and then to Jueluling. The east end was controlled by the Song Dynasty and the west end was controlled by Aligu. In addition, the Song army from Hezhou to Guzhou, about 30,000 people."

These were not found out by Liang Yi, but by people from Aligu.

It would be impossible to cooperate with him in the fight against the Song army, but through these tribes, everyone was willing to inquire about the information of the Song army. Although they could not accept Aligu, they also could not accept the Song Dynasty.

Liang Yibi continued to say: "There were not many soldiers in the Song Dynasty."

In fact, the Song army had nearly 60,000 troops, and the troops were already quite powerful. The consumption of those soldiers that day was not an astronomical figure. But the Xixia army was always 100,000,200,000 and 300,000. This number of soldiers really didn't look down on them.

"However, Guzhou has been occupied by the Song Dynasty. Aligu only retains the troops in the Qingtang City area of ​​Zongge City, and the people's hearts are separated. Even this territory, not all tribes will cooperate with Aligu. But now there is a chance."

The opportunity lies in the Jishi Army.

If Wang Ju had not rushed to the west and allowed Aligu to integrate the various divisions of Huangzhou, Xibawen would not dare to seize Xigo City. Until Aligu, Aligu succeeded to the throne and killed his uncle Su Nan Dangzheng (Aligu's younger brother), Du Luojie, the general under the Jiangsu Party, defected to Xibawen. Xibawen then sent troops to Xigo City. That's it. He was defeated by Gui Zhang's son and Zhizheng, and Xibawen's eldest son, Piaoji, was also killed. Then Xibawen defected to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty took Hehuang for the first time. As a result, after the Song army retreated, Xibawen's sons then rebelled.

Wang Ju didn't know much about this history, but he intuitively realized that the so-called descendants of Zanpu could not enter the Jishi Army, Guzhou and Huangzhou, otherwise there would be future troubles.

He also reported this to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu is now preparing to find a place in the capital, to build a few houses for the future Tubo Zamp and these royal families, and to give you wealth and honor, but stay in the capital. Zamp's candidates will not be selected from the Xibawen scholars, but will choose an honest and close person from the Muzheng scholars to serve as the future new Tubo Zamp, remotely control Hehuang in the capital to appease Hehuang.

That is, the Ghost Chapter, with the support of Aligu, continues to control the tribes at the foot of Jishi Mountain.

However, now it is different. With Wang Juhui's army in Guzhou, the connection between Xige City and Qingtang City has almost been interrupted.

Moreover, Guizhang was defeated by Taoshui, and the children of the tribes around Xige City suffered heavy losses and were even more dissatisfied with the Guozhuang tribe. So Xibawen took the soldiers of Xilongbu and four or five thousand soldiers and horses to march westward to prepare to collect Xige City.

Wang Ju took the opportunity to send envoys to help Guozhuang tribe, which was the revenge of killing his father and brother, but everyone had to live. Gui Zhang's younger brother Asu surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Wang Ju asked Zhong Yi again, and Liu Zhongwu divided 10,000 troops and went to accept Xige City.

Xibawen was unhappy and continued to rush to the west.

Wang Ju couldn't help but ask Miao Su to send troops personally, and led five to six thousand Song troops to start a war directly against Xibawen.

When Renduo Baozhong heard this, his eyes flashed and asked: "Prime Minister, do you mean that Wang Ju has only more than 10,000 troops in his hands now."

Zhong Yi had troops in his hands, but his entry into Xige City was also unpopular. Moreover, Xibawen rushed to the west, although Wang Junwan was blocked by Wang Junwan, most of these tribes were ready to welcome Xibawen's return. Therefore, Zhong Yi did not dare to divide his troops, so he forced Miao Zuo to come forward.

Then there are only more than 10,000 Song troops in Kuozhou.

"Well, the Taibao of the Song Dynasty wanted to let the Song Dynasty completely control Huangzhou in the future, so he did not allow Xibawen to go west."

After all the battles reached this point, Wang Ju's little thoughts were easy to guess. No matter what, Xibawen had the orthodox Zamp bloodline, so five or six thousand soldiers and horses had dragged three times the strength of the Song army.

It is not possible to have fewer troops. Xibawen has appeal in Xige City, even in the entire Jiaohuang area, it is quite appealing.

"So this is an opportunity. And the Taibao was originally planning to attack Zongge City in two directions, so the vanguard arrived at Baodun Valley. Xibawen rushed to the west, and the Taibao had to stop the three armies. Now he is stationed in Baodun Valley, which is located at the base of the southern foot of Qingsha Mountain. It is also the main intersection of the southward of Zongge City. Therefore, there was a bazaar (market) for merchants and people in the two states to trade. So Taibao ordered the people of all ethnic groups to urgently repair a fortress. His plan was to solve Xibawen first, then draw out the troops and continue to rush to Qingtang City."

"Where is Wang Ju?"

"He is the God of War in the Song Dynasty, so of course he led the way, and was on the front line, in the fort that had just begun to be built."

"What does the Prime Minister mean to divide the troops?"

Large-scale army group operations mostly require division of troops. However, if the division is not good, it is easy to be defeated by the enemy one by one, such as the disastrous defeat at Qigou Pass, and the battle of Dingxi City where Aligu and Liang Yiji joined forces last year.

But it is not that it is not good to divide the troops. If there is no division of troops, more than 100,000 troops will gather together to attack a certain city. The three armies will not be able to use them very efficiently, and the more troops, the slower the action will be. The entire combat operation will also appear dull. And it is not that you can seek stability without division of troops. For example, in the Battle of Gaoliang River, more than 100,000 Song troops did not divide the troops and were still defeated!

"It is this division of troops, and the Song army has to divide up many troops to stay in various forts and forts in Guzhou, Hezhou. Now the Taibao has only six or seven thousand troops."

"This is a good opportunity, how could he be so bold?"

"It's not that you are brave. You are not very clear about the fact that Aligu is more embarrassed than our country now. Even if six or seven thousand people are stationed in the Baodun Valley, Aligu still has no choice but to the Song army. It's not that he has no soldiers in his hands, but that he has a bad reputation and has been defeated one after another, and the troops of each unit cannot be mobilized. However, when we enter Daxia, it is completely different. With our assistance from our country, there are more tribes attached to him. Moreover, the Taibao's strength to prevent Xibawen from going to the west also exposed his ambitions. Using this as a matter of work, there will be more tribes attached to him. At the same time, Aligu can also send envoys to comfort Xibawen and silently regard him as commanding the tribes in Henan (the tribes at the foot of Jishishan)."

"Is the Prime Minister talking about gathering the armies of the two countries to attack the Paodon Valley?"

The reason is very simple. The Song Dynasty still had a lot of troops. At this point, Liang Yibi dared not say that the Song army had poor combat effectiveness. However, one in Huangzhou was not far away from the map, and it was straightened by less than two hundred miles. However, in fact, there were thousands of mountains and thousands of mountains in the middle, and it was still a tall and stunning mountain ridge. Therefore, it was only so far apart that the two Song troops could not support each other.

Therefore, Wang Ju hated the Hehuang roads and asked the court to immediately allocate a lot of money to build the Hehuang roads. This is the reason. Not only is it inconvenient to fight now, but it is also inconvenient to manage and quell the chaos in the future.

Wang Ju has just built a city since now. Most of the forts now have rammed earth as city walls, which will take some time to solidify. Therefore, the city walls on Yongle City were hit by the impact of the Xixia army, and the city walls collapsed together. In the Pingxia City, the Xia army directly brought shovels to dig the city walls.

The new city wall is not strong and Wang Ju has few troops. Then the two countries' army gathers together and can quickly eat the Song army of Baodun Valley. Even if Wang Ju can escape in time, the army of the two countries will roar south. If Aligu sends envoys to comfort Xibawen, I believe that at this time, Xibawen will know the importance of it. Then Xibawen's army will be in the east, and there will be tribes in Xigo City to cooperate from inside. The Song army at Jishi Mountain will also be defeated quickly.

More importantly, the Song army did not have many defenders on Xihe Road in order to conquer Aligu. Even Miao Shu and the governor of Xizhou Wang Junwan personally went to the front line. Even if the Song army in Huangzhou retreated, it was probably too late. Then under the sweeping of the army of the two countries, not only did they conquer Huangzhou, but most of the Xihe Road and Lanzhou might be recovered. The situation in the two countries also reversed.

"Major, this is a good idea."

Liang Yifei's old face turned red, and his idea was good, but it was not what he thought of, but what Aligu wrote in the letter.

He also said: "It is too late to mobilize troops from other places, and there are a large number of Song troops in all directions, so even if there are soldiers, they cannot be transferred. Therefore, the only areas that can be mobilized are Xiliang Prefecture and Xuanhua Prefecture. There are not many Tubo people and Falcons, and they are not opposed to Aligu."

Liangzhou and Ganzhou were mostly Tubo people and falcons, but Aligu was considered a ball in their minds! What’s even more terrible is that it was nominally the location of the Liugu tribes of Tubo and Ganzhou falcons. In fact, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, many Han people have migrated here, but these Han people have become rich or Hu, so they are as close to the Central Plains as Tubo in Qinzhou, so they have repeatedly welcomed the Han people to the Central Plains dynasty as governors in the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty.

However, Liang Yibi knew it, but what if he didn't say that? So he changed his voice and said, "You order 50,000 troops and horses to pass through Liuling immediately. From Maoniucheng to Zongge City, this level must be fast, otherwise the Song army will be gone after pacifying Xibawen. At the same time, pay attention to some points. First, we support Aligu, and most of these 50,000 troops are new recruits, so support is the main focus and combat is the auxiliary. Of course, after this battle, 50,000 troops will be available."

As we fight, we can't really keep waving the flag and shouting, so in the end, some Xia soldiers will inevitably die in battle, and the comrades will die. The Song and Han Chinese Tubo will also rise. Of course, 50,000 Qian and Qian soldiers can be officially used to fight the Song army.

It's enough for everyone to understand, but there is no need to explain it.

"We support Aligu, so we don't need to bring much food and supplies to speed up the marching. But I also believed Aligu and asked him to prepare food and grass immediately in Qingtang City."

The actual situation is that the treasury of the Xixia state is also empty now, and when the 50,000 soldiers and horses are drawn, although the summer harvest is not that important to Liangzhou and Ganzhou, it will always cause some losses to occur, so the 50,000 soldiers and horses have to go to Qingtang City to eat.

This will put some pressure on Aligu, but now it is important to help you, and you can still manage so much?

If Aligu doesn't agree, he has to agree.

"Also, once you have a great victory, please remember that we are the Daxia Kingdom, not the Tubo Kingdom."

Meaning if this strategic plan can be successful, you must preserve your strength and gain more benefits for Xixia.

Renduo Baozhong went to Liangzhou and Ganzhou. In addition to the original thousands of troops, the remaining tens of thousands of troops were all transferred from various tribes. The people were in full swing for a while, but fearing that the high-pressure rule of the Western Xia for many years, no tribe dared to resist openly.

Almost half of the two states were drawn out by Renduo Baozhong, and quickly assembled into an army and rushed towards the Liuling Mountains.
