.When the demise of Xixia is a foregone conclusion, the northwest has been one after another, and every surprise, the war that has turned around is finally coming to an end.

Neither the Liao Kingdom nor the Song Dynasty were ready for a full-scale war. The most urgent task at the moment is to divide the Western Xia legacy, then annex and digest it.

The Hangang and the Zhe family's plan to seize Fengzhou was to compete for the inheritance of Xixia.

"It is hard to say that the Western Xia lost all the capital and lost all the capital. Although the Song Dynasty suffered a great loss, it is not considered to be a waste of the capital by getting Yin Xia and Gan Liang. However, Yelu Yixin's advantage is a big loss, which makes people hate it!"

After hearing Zhe Keshi's words, Huang Shang said disdainfully: "It is indeed a stroke of divine destruction of Xixia and occupying Xingling. However, there are many people in the Xingling land. The Khitans wanted to occupy the land, but I don't know how many people would die."

Zhe Keshi laughed and said, "So I said that Yelu Yixin took advantage, not the Liao Dynasty. What's more, the losses of the Liao Kingdom are related to Yelu Yixin? The power of the Shubu people was weakened - Xizhubu was also a member of Shubu. Xixia, which had defeated the Liao Kingdom in the past and left a lot of blood feuds, also perished; the Song Dynasty had worked hard, but the largest fruit on the tree was easily picked by Yelu Yixin without any effort, which made the Song Dynasty look embarrassed. If you have fame, profit, revenge, and then let your opponents lose face, Yelu Yixin's status will be as high as the top."

Han Gang was looking at the official document and hearing the conversation between the two, he looked up and said, "With Yelu Yixin's actions, he would arrange those forces that were biased towards him but were not completely obedient to Xingling. In the process of killing the Dangxiang tribe, they would gradually consume their strength. He would not suffer any loss."

Well, this is actually Han Gang’s idea. If he had done it, he would definitely do it like this.

Huang Shang shook his head, still feeling disdainful: "I didn't expect Yelu Yixin to have such a narrow vision."

"Do you remember Su Qin, who was sealed by the six kingdoms? Why did he send Zhang Yi to Qin? The interests of people and the country cannot be consistent. Don't you talk about powerful ministers, even emperors, aren't there Sui Yang and Shang Zhou?"

Although Han Gang believed that Yang Guang's reputation was mostly due to the one who insisted on his daily life, Emperor Xin also thanked King Wu, Duke Zhou, and even the hundreds of scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period for years to destroy it, there was no need to be innovative at this time.

Han Gang sighed with deep emotion, "Yelu Yixin is a powerful minister, not an emperor. Which one do you think he would choose between the future of Liao and his own power? And in his eyes, he mostly thinks that only by consolidating his own power can the Liao Kingdom have a future."

"There are actually many such people... Isn't there a Xu Xi recently? She also has a husband in the court, who is participating in politics." Zhe Keshi was unscrupulous and laughed without hesitation.

Huang Shang was even more enthusiastic about the scholars and would not think that it was a big deal to curse the officials in the court. Then Zhe Keshi scolded Wang Xianggong and Lu Tanzheng together. Update

Han Gang looked at Zhe Keshi, then lowered his head to read the official document.

The Zhe family was very thoughtful this time, and most of them were stimulated by the Liao people.

Whether it is the old Fengzhou or the new Fengzhou, it can actually be regarded as the radiation range of the Zhe family's power.

The first generation of Fengzhou was Wang Jia, the head of the Wang family. It was his decision to join the Song Dynasty and build the Fengzhou city. It was also his decision to marry the Zhe family. His son, Wang Chengmei, was also the second magistrate of Fengzhou, and married the daughter of the Zhe family as his wife. Wang Wenyu, the third generation, had to call Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing as his uncles. Zhe Yuqing, Zhe Yuxun, had a sister, married Yang Ye.

For Zhe Keshi, although the two great-grandfathers, Zhe Yuqing and Zhe Yuxun, are not far apart, they are still from decades ago. They can still remember to put incense sticks and serve rice on bowls of wheat. But on weekdays, they rarely talk about them.

However, the Zhe family expanded its power and deeply rooted in the clouds, and Taiban was the credit of Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing. The major families in the clouds basically had close or far-reaching relationships with the Zhe family. The large network of these relationships made the Zhe family stand firm in the clouds.

However, if the Liao people occupied the old Fengzhou and collected all the Xixia land east of the desert to the south, surrounding the protruding part of the clouds. The crisis of the overturning of the Zhe family was near, and no matter how tight the network of relationships was, it would not be able to stop the attack of the saber. The Zhe family had to fight desperately.

Han Gang has already sent a letter to Li Xian, and this matter requires his help.

A few days later, Li Xian, who was summoned back to Taiyuan by Han Gang by sending a petty horse, finally arrived, three days earlier than Han Gang had expected.

Li Xian, who was in a hurry, looked anxious. When he saw Han Gang, he said to himself: "Longtu, the old Fengzhou cannot be taken away, it cannot be taken away! Most of the territory of Fengzhou in the old Fengzhou was in the hands of the Liao people. If you force it to take it, it will cause a big mess."

After Han Gang was stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter: "Everyone knows that it is a misunderstanding. Fengzhou and Fengzhou are different. This time I want to occupy Fengzhou City - Fengzhou City occupied by Yuan Hao. No matter how confused Han Gang is, it is impossible to grab territory from the Khitans at this time."

After hearing Han Gang's words, Li Xian was also stunned. Just like when talking about Kaifeng, sometimes it refers to Tokyo City, a small area surrounded by a 50-mile city wall, but sometimes it refers to the entire Jingji Road. Fengzhou City can indeed be said to be Fengzhou.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat softly on the chair, and said to himself: "I'm so anxious and confused. I just kept rushing along the way, but didn't even think about it carefully. With the wisdom of the Dragon Picture, I wouldn't be so confused."

Zhe Keshi and Huang Shang pursed their lips, wanting to laugh but dared not laugh out loud. Han Gang smiled and said, "It's also because they are worried about the national accident."

Li Xian’s misunderstanding is indeed big.

The same place name has many times been very different from the locations of ancient and modern times. For example, Weizhou, ancient Weizhou is the current Gongzhou, originally named Guweizhai, and is truly located on the shore of the Wei River; the current Weizhou is on Jingyuan Road, and the Jingwei River clearly distinguishes Jingwei River flows through the state. For example, Yulin, up to now, Yulin is at the eastern end of the front Yellow River, while Yulin, a thousand years later, has moved to the vicinity of Yinzhou City, thousands of miles away.

Ancient Fengzhou is far away from the Yellow River, located in Jiuyuan. It was taken from the Xiongnu during the Qin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was still the famous surrender city. Later, it was occupied by the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, and it is still under the jurisdiction of Xijing. There is no need to think about this ancient Fengzhou, and there will be no chance within ten years.

Although the old Fengzhou was located in the south of the Yellow River, it had a huge span. The Wang family in Fengzhou was originally from the Dangxiang Tibetan Clan. In the early Song Dynasty, Heishan was the gathering place of the 36 Tibetan Clan tribes. When the head of the Wang family, Wang Jiaju, was appointed to establish a city and build a prefecture, and even the remaining Tibetan Clan tribes living on the north side of the Yellow River joined the post. However, it was all subject to the nature of a ban, just like Yongzhou in Guangxi, which covers a wide area, even comparable to the land along the way. The left and right river areas belong to Yongzhou, but the lower part is full of ban.

The jurisdiction of the old Fengzhou heading north once crossed the Yellow River and under the Black Mountains, it should be regarded as the front-door area in the Hetao Plain. However, after the Khitan power expanded and the control of the northwest was increased, Hangang did not expect to take advantage of this.

Han Gang invited Li Xian to the White Tiger Festival Hall, and pointed to a city sign on the top beside a newly made sand table: "What I want is Fengzhou City, and a small nearby core area, not the entire Fengzhou area."

Li Xian looked at the sand table and nodded slowly.

The location of the old Fengzhou City is two hundred miles northwest of the Fuzhou City - the Fuzhou City here refers to the Fuzhou City - a city built behind Wang Jia and close to the Song Dynasty. It is located on the edge of Quyechuan, a tributary of the Yellow River.

Although the difficulty of regaining the old Fengzhou city was not low because it was snatching food by the Khitans, it was much easier than seizing Xingling. The location of Xinfengzhou was the rebuilding of the Luobochuan land in Fuzhou, which was originally 120 miles northwest of Fuzhou City. Although Fuzhou and New and Old Fengzhou are not on the same line - New and Old Fengzhou are located east and west - it is not much from Xinfengzhou to go west. The most important thing is that Quyechuan goes south and flows through Xinqin, the prefecture of Linzhou. Going directly from Linzhou is much more convenient than going west from Xinfengzhou.

Li Xian looked at the sand table intently. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Han Gang: "The purpose of Longtu is not in Fengzhou, but in Linzhou, Jinning Army, and even the Yinxia land."

"After looking at the sand table, it is indeed much more intuitive?" Han Gang laughed. Li Xian said that his and the Zhe family's purpose was not limited to the old Fengzhou. "The purpose of recapturing the old Fengzhou was to Quyechuan and its tributary Zhuolun River [now the Ulanmulun River] basin. Controlling these two rivers was equivalent to closing the gate of the Liao people from the south of Xijing Road. The land of Xixia east of the desert [now the Mu Usu Desert], that is, Linzhou, west of the Jinning army, Yinzhou, and north of the Amitabha Cave, were taken back to the Song Dynasty."

From Linzhou to follow the Quye River, you will walk about two hundred miles to the location of the old Fengzhou. Then to the west, it is a place with aquatic plants and trees. In later generations, it was named after Ordos.

Hangang has been exploring the geography on the west side of the Yellow River for a while, which is verified with the increasingly vague memories. The location of Yulin can basically be determined near the current Amitabha Cave and Yinzhou. From Amitabha Cave to Quyechuan, there is no need to cross mountains and ridges, and there is no too rugged terrain. This road is originally the main road connecting Guanzhong to Jiuyuan [Baotou] north of the Yellow River. Although Hangang can't remember it clearly, I think later generations should have built a road along Yulin to the north and directly to Ordos.

At Han Gang's gesture, Huang Shang pointed to the sand table with a small white wooden stick and explained: "After the official army recaptured the old Fengzhou, it leveled the defense line so that the clouds of Linfufeng can even be directly supported by the Yinxia garrison. In terms of defense, there is an uninhabited desert to the west, and it takes more than a thousand miles to reach Xingling. In other words, if you want to attack from Xingling, you have to walk through a desert of more than a thousand miles."

A wooden stick about the size of a finger was drawn along the yellow desert border. "If the Liao people were given a step ahead, Hedong Road would not only have to guard against the north, but also be police in the west. The waves of horns, together with Yinxia, ​​would also be in a crisis of being attacked at any time. If the official army could seize the precedence, it would be enough to strengthen the defense of the north in the future. Although the Liao people could detour from the desert, the consumption was too great that they would never be able to drive the army along this route."

Huang Shang put away his wooden stick and said, "Defending the old Fengzhou, it consumes a lot of money and grain. However, compared to Yinxia, ​​Hedong needs to strengthen defense, it will save most of the money and food. Moreover, this large area of ​​land in Jinning, west of Linzhou, south of Quyechuan, and north of Amitabha Cave can be regarded as a good pasture and can raise a large number of horses. If you do business, it will be a huge profit."

Moving troops along the river valley is much easier than crossing mountains and ridges. Between Fengzhou and Linzhou, soldiers can be transported through the Quyechuan Valley. Recovering Fengzhou and its surrounding Quyechuan and Zhuolun River Basin, setting up a fort defense line here, which will allow the east and west sides of the river to obtain a large area of ​​buffering ground, and it is also a good horse-wedding land.

After controlling Quyechuan and Zhuilun River, they sealed the gates to the south of the Liao people. The land of Xixia was divided by the desert, and to the north and west belonged to the Khitan, and to the east and south belonged to the Song Dynasty. This is the best result that can be won at the moment.
