In the first year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, in the August of the first year of Yizhiping in the Western Xia Dynasty (23).

In the city of Youzhou (the site is located in Chengchuan Village, Chengchuan Town, Etok Qian Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), all the generals in the Youzhou Military Supervision Office in Xixia have been summoned.

The army supervising the army, commanding the troops, and in front of the generals, read the order from the Nanmuhui: "Your troops should do their best to cut off the connection between the Nanman Huanqing Road and the Fuyan Road... If it is beneficial, they will advance to its hinterland and destroy its fort!"

After reading the general order from Liang Yi, Zhajueweiming looked at the generals in charge of A and asked, "Do you understand all the generals?"

The generals agreed, but when they looked at Tsai Weiming, they were somewhat unnatural, and they might even distrust him as a military supervisor.

And Zhajueweiming knows why this is happening?

Who told him that he was captured by the Southern Barbarians last year and even sent him to the capital?

Recalling what happened last year, he pulled Jueweiming's fingers and pinched the flesh on his palm.

He will never forget that in the spring of last year, he was crushed by Song general Bei Wei in the soil of Helanyuan and then tied him up.

He will never forget that in May last year, after he was released by Song Ting and returned to China, he was humiliated in the country.

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

The defeated general, the useless, the incompetent relatives...

If it weren't for his wife, he would be the biological daughter of the late Empress Gongsu Xiaozhang (the posthumous title of Daliang).

My wife and the Queen Mother, who is now in charge, are best friends who grew up.

He even suspected that his son-in-law, who embarrassed Dabai Gaoguo, would definitely be executed after returning to China.

Fortunately, he is a relative of the foreign country and has a close relationship with the Liang family.

At the same time, during the Xingqing Mansion Incident last year, he actively stood in the Liang family, and under the order of respect and filial piety, led the imperial guards to control all gates of the imperial city, and strictly prohibited entry and exit.

In the process of eliminating Renduo's family, he also personally led his troops to fight and made many military achievements.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother asked him what he wanted?

He asked for a request to return to Youzhou without hesitation.

So, in the first month of this year, he was once again awarded the title of Chief Military Supervisor and Commander of the Youzhou Military Supervisor.

He was granted the power to be fully responsible for commanding more than 40,000 households in the Youzhou Military Supervision Department.

Of course, he came here to avenge his shame.

So he looked at the generals coldly: "Then go back immediately and launch according to the deployment of the Prime Minister!"

This time, he was ready!

Moreover, he was full of confidence!

Because, last year, the Southern Barbarians who had deployed to capture him had been transferred from Huanqing Road.

The new Huanqing Road Military Advisor was just an unknown civil servant. He seemed to be named Zhang Qing. I heard that a relative of the relationship was valued because of a relative who was in power in the Southern Barbarians and promoted to Huanqing Road.

In the past few months, I have also tested the civil servant through the Baibao City, Jintang Village and other Song Xiaqian Market.

He is polite to the party and presided over the market policy, which is also very reasonable.

At the same time, he strictly restrained the troops on Huanqing Road.

The Southern Barbarians abide by the rules than before.

In addition, the detailed report also reported that the civil servant had been repairing the city defense since he took office.

All of the above shows that the other party is a conservative and even timid civil servant.

This is very good!

Revenge is today!

This time, he wants everyone to look at him with admiration!

So, after issuing a combat order, requiring the generals of Youzhou to go back and prepare immediately.

He led the Weiming to the military camp outside the city of Youzhou.

This is the elite he brought from Xingqing Mansion and the field ace he really relies on this time.

Although there are not many people - only three thousand.

But everyone was wearing armor and brave and good at fighting. It was the Uighur cavalry he brought from the headquarters of the Zhejue family in Liangzhou and Ganzhou!

It is definitely not the bitter peasants in Youzhou, but the soldiers who temporarily armed their soldiers are no match for them.

This is also the Dangxiang people's tactics.

Miscellaneous brands, weak soldiers are in front and elite soldiers are in back, waiting for an opportunity to move.

It is like a mantis stalking a cicada. As long as the opponent reveals a flaw, it will immediately attack, cut and surround with elite cavalry.

This is true for Sanchuankou, Good Shuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai.

Jingzong relied on to establish a country, and Yizong fought against the southern barbarians in the south, and resisted the northern barbarians in the north.

Therefore, when I pulled Juewei Ming and looked at his elites, I felt extremely at ease.

...

In Bianjing City, Zhao Xu looked at the sand table in front of him, held a baton, and pointed at the border of Huanqing Road.

Fan Chunren followed him, responding to Zhao Xu's inquiries from time to time, providing advice and explanation.

The other three generals of the yamen all looked at the scrupulous look.

Because, in Bianjing now, no one knows the border defense layout of Huanqing Road better than Fan Chunren.

There is no way to build the most complex area on the border of Song and Xia, which is built by Fan Chunren's father Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Chunren is even the person involved - when he was young, he followed Nai's father to supervise the construction of a city on Huanqing Road.

On the border that lasts a hundred miles long, the power of Song and Xia were intertwined, embedding each other's key points, forming a delicate terrifying balance.

Of course, today's Huanqing Road has also undergone earth-shaking changes from the Huanqing Road back then.

Because the current situation in this region is formed by the competition and repeated struggles between Song and Xia over the past decades.

Many villages on the border are Song Village this year and Xia Village next year.

Those strategic areas have even changed hands with each other more than a dozen times.

However, today's basic structure is still the defensive system based on Dashun City as the core, and the defensive system based on Xixia Baibao, Jintang and Houqiao Village as the core.

While listening to Fan Chunren's introduction, Zhao Xu looked at the memorials that Fan Zhongyan wrote to the court when he was in Shaanxi when he was in Shaanxi.

By the time Fan Chunren finished introducing the current border pattern of Song and Xia on Huanqing Road.

Zhao Xu sighed and said with emotion: "Duke Fan Wenzheng is a true minister of the country!"

This is the truth!

In Zhao Xu's view, Fan Zhongyan's strategic thinking was ahead of his era.

You will know by looking at the sand table.

The Dangxiang people went deep into the Song Dynasty and established a fortification area with Jintang, Baibao and Houqiao as the core.

In fact, it is a protruding part embedded in the heart of the Song Dynasty!

And Fan Zhongyan keenly realized this.

Therefore, during the Qingli period, after a long period of investigation and investigation in Shaanxi, Fan Zhongyan wrote to the court in succession, and finally formed the strategic idea of ​​"Adjustment and Defense" and "Adjustment and Defense" as the core. In these two books, Fan Zhongyan repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Huanqing Road - I secretly saw that there were more than a hundred miles of bandits in the west of Yan'an and east of Qingzhou. Invaded the Han area, there were three villages of Jintang, Baibao and Houqiao, which blocked the road. Qing passed the road and made the troops unable to connect, and the response was far-reaching!

So, what should I do?

Fan Zhongyan took out his prescription - I said that those who attacked near each other and were able to gain power. There were Jin Tang and Bai Bao's obstacles between Yan'an and Qingzhou. They were originally Han villages, and they were blocked by Yan'an. Qing soldiers were foreigners and Han trading markets, and the things were gathered. If you invade on another road and support hundreds of miles away, you should be restrained from the distance. Jin Tang and Bai Bao and other villages could take advantage of the situation. They set up formations and set up vehicles to cross the trenches, and choose the important place to be the city base...

Simply put, the outcome of the Song and Xia war depends on Huanqing Road, and the outcome of Huanqing Road depends on the three strategic locations: Jintang, Baibao and Houqiao.

As long as the Song Dynasty obtained these three forts, it would not only connect Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road to one line.

It can also prevent prodigal merchants from smuggling contraband to Xixia and continue to bleed the Dangxiang people economically.

At the same time, this area has formed a huge protrusion because it is embedded in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

While isolating the connection between Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road in the Song Dynasty.

It has also become an excellent battlefield in the Song Dynasty!

As long as we continue to invest in this area, we force the Dangxiang people to fight.

Then, the Party can be dragged into the war of attrition in both military and economic terms.

Here, the Dangxiang people continued to bleed.

Force the Dangxiang people to either give up this prominent part or continue to invest.

And will Dangxiang give up? Will he be willing to give up this area?

The answer is no, and I will never be willing!

The reason, Fan Zhongyan has made it clear - after this place is established, Dangxiang can cut off the direct connection between Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road through this area, forcing the army, food and grass on Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road to take a big turn.

At the same time, having this place, during the peacetime period of the Song and Xia, we can take advantage of the geographical advantages of this region to attract the unscrupulous merchants of the Song Dynasty to go to the markets in these places to provide the various materials they urgently need to provide the Dangxiang people with various urgently needed.
