Tiande Army Office, Du Zhongxiao, flipped through the war report sent, and said to Han Qi on the side: "It was really unexpected that the cavalry swept over the Heishan and Langshan ranch, collected a lot of horses and military weapons, and caught some cattle and sheep. There was no list or document to write it out, so there was no need to compensate in the future. I had already prepared a sum of money to compensate the herders after the war, so that they could turn nomads into fixed herders under the rule."

Han Qi said: "The government has the military power, and the whole people of the Dangxiang are all soldiers. Do you think they are talking about it? All of them are listed in the list and are affiliated with military registration. However, some small tribes cannot produce regular soldiers and all auxiliary soldiers, so they may not be able to find military organs and horses, give a list and a list of characters."

"All people are soldiers, and all people are soldiers!" Du Zhongxiao said silently, "This is good, saving a lot of trouble. When the last time he attacked Quye River, the entire army did not capture prisoners because they were fast in and out to avoid bondage. This time it was different. Many manpower can do a lot of things."

Han Qi said: "The management requires manpower, what are you going to do?"

"Road. Baidao in Fengzhou, Huyangu Pass here, and roads connecting various states. Build the roads, can pass through large trucks, and be transported by the Yellow River water, so that this place can be as solid as a god. Use roads to divide the place and guard the big city, so as to avoid nomadic troubles."

Han Qi said: "When the spring comes, the railway can be built to Dongsheng Prefecture. It is better to start from there and build railways connecting the states. If there is a railway to the Central Plains, it will be integrated with the Central Plains from now on and is unbreakable."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "What we need to build is to build a railway, and we need the support of the court. This matter is not urgent."

Han Qi nodded and said nothing. If this battle is won greatly, Han Qi will probably return to the court, so it will naturally be arranged at that time.

No matter how many military achievements Du Zhongxiao had, Hequ Road was inseparable from it, and he could not enter the court for a short period of time. Han Qi was different. He had a deep experience, and with this military achievements, it was no problem to enter the court as the prime minister. Once he entered the court, the court situation formed by the failure of the Qingli New Deal was completely renewed.

After the failure of the Qingli New Deal, several chief generals, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Du Yan, etc., have been in the local area and their status is still there, but they have never been able to return to the center. They were suppressed, leading a large number of officials not to turn over.

At this moment, Wang Dexing came in from outside and presented a document to Du Zhongxiao, saying: "Master, the Heishan Military Supervisor Office has gathered troops! As soon as they moved, the nearby White Horse Military Supervisor Office and the Helan Mountain Guards are likely to also gather, and there are many more Dangxiang Military Clubs."

Han Qi got up, went to Du Zhongxiao's case, read the documents together, and said, "It's too late to order the collection now. In normal years, in less than half a month, the soldiers and horses of the various military supervisors in the Dangxiang Army could not be collected. It is early spring, and a month is not enough. Moreover, our cavalry launched a large-scale move and swept away many small tribes. The military weapons and official horses of the soldiers inside had been confiscated. Where did they order them?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is a coincidence. I didn't think of this before sending troops. Many of Dangxiang's main soldiers were scattered in various tribes when they were not in stock and supported by tribes. Dangxiang provided official horses, official camels, armor and weapons to the main soldiers. The government inspected them regularly. When there was any war, they ordered the troops and horses to collect the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers according to the military list. Without them, we wiped out the troops and many of the main soldiers' military weapons and horses were confiscated. In this way, most of the soldiers and horses in the Heishan Military Supervision Office have been destroyed and the war is much easier."

The Khan's army in "Mulan Ci" is a military system, similar to the government soldiers. The soldiers served in the court for free, maintained military weapons, and received tax-free service and other treatments. The court saved the cost of raising troops, which was in line with the Party society.

Han Qi said: "It's more than that. According to the law of the Dangxiang, it is a serious crime to lose military weapons and horses. Who dares to die by themselves!"

Dangxiang pursues severe punishment and commits serious crimes to damage military weapons. Now, who dares to go?

Yao Miyou stood at the top of the city, watching the Yellow River opposite, and the large group of Song troops marched towards the valley entrance between the mountains and said in shock: "Song army headed north, is it going to attack the Heishan Military Supervisory Office? That's great! Recruit people quickly, let's cross the river and invite the Song army to intercept!"

The personal soldier next to him said, "Sir, at this time, the Yellow River has begun to thaw and cannot pass the troops."

Yao Miyou said straight: "If you can't cross the ice, then use a ferry to cross the river! I'm here to guard the mountain pass, how can the Song army come and go!"

The personal soldier said: "The ice has not yet been dissolved, so the ferry can't be able to do it. At this time, sir, we really cannot cross the river."

Yao Miyou turned around and looked at his personal soldiers and said, "This is not possible, that is not possible. Am I just watching Song Jun go north here? Afterwards, I will investigate it. If I don't send troops, how can I explain it?"

The personal soldier said: "It happened to be this season. I really can't cross the river. How can I blame the adults? - Sir, look at the opposite side. The Song army has no idea of ​​thousands or tens of thousands of people. We only have three hundred soldiers. What can we do? It is better to wait for the Song army to come over and have the opportunity to invite the food interceptor team. This is the right way."

Yao Miyou looked at the personal soldiers for a while without saying anything, then turned around and looked at the Song army on the other side for several miles, saying, "I will ask the cavalry to explore the surroundings. If there is a Song army coming to attack, report it in time!"

The personal soldiers agreed and quickly stepped down the city wall and sent an order.

This castle is located at the entrance of the valley between Langshan and Heishan, located on the south bank of the north-central stream of the Yellow River. One is to monitor the entrance of the valley, and the other is to manage the herdsmen between the north-south stream of the Yellow River. After the Yellow River diverted, a large piece of land was surrounded by north-south streams, with abundant water and grass, and it is an excellent pasture. Yaomeiyouzhi was originally the leader of a small tribe. He made military contributions to be the city lord here, manages the surrounding tribes, and has three hundred soldiers under his command.

Spring has not yet begun in February. The ice layer of the Yellow River gradually disappeared, and a large group of people could not pass through, but the ferry could not pass. The Song army was too troublesome to cross the river, so they left the small castle behind them without fighting. They sent only a few people to monitor it, and the entire army went directly north. There were not many soldiers in this kind of castle. Without the defense of the castle, a small team of Song army could defeat it, which was not too threatening.

Yang Wenguang stood on the other side of the Yellow River, watching the castle on the other side not moving at all, lifted the reins and turned northward.

Shisanlang's brigade of cavalry was in front, and all the nomadic tribes they encountered confiscated strong horses and military weapons and shaved their heads. Yang Wenguang's troops followed closely and headed straight to Wushuhai City along the main road. As the news came from the front, the Song cavalry entered the valley, and the Heishan Military Supervisory Office began to gather troops.

It was too late at this time, and the military orders could not be sent to the subordinate tribes at all. How could they afford to order people?

There were about 5,000 troops garrisons in Wushuhai City and nearby strongholds, and more than 5,000 infantry in Yang Wenguang's headquarters, which were equipped with most of the artillery. With thousands of cavalry led by Shisanlang, the troops were more than 10,000. With firearms and cold weapons, the troops had an absolute advantage.

The Yellow River flows northward closely to the foot of Yin Mountain, and you will enter the valley if you don’t walk far away. The terrain in the valley is flat and there is a river in the middle. It is dry season at this time, and only the stream at the bottom is gurgling. The climate in the valley is warmer, and the grass returns to its greenery, which is obviously more blue than outside the mountain.

The nomadic tribes in this area have long been driven away by cavalry, and there are no people on the road, but occasionally there are yellow sheep jumping in the mountains. In the surrounding woods, unknown birds are singing from time to time.

Yang Wenguang rode his horse forward and turned over a foot of a mountain. Suddenly, he found more than a dozen people in the stream at the bottom of the valley, snuggling together, watching the marching Song army.

Suddenly discovering the people surprised Yang Wenguang. Could it be that the cavalry did not search carefully? He hurriedly called his personal soldiers and asked him why.

The personal soldiers crossed their hands and said, "General, the young man had asked the cavalry that they were searching for. They said that these people were gold diggers in the mountains and slaves of the nearby leaders of the Dangxiang. When Li Tiande Army, they did not explain to these people. They had no military weapons and were obedient in their attitude, so they were allowed to be in place."

"Does gold be produced here?" No one mentioned it before, and Yang Wenguang also found it strange. "Are they Han or foreigners?"

The personal soldiers said: "Most of them are Han people, and some other people who are not Dangxiang people are mostly plundered."

Yang Wenguang thought for a while and said, "The stream is cold and bone-blooded, so it is not a solution to keep them in the river. Send a small team of people to camp in the dry place in the valley first, and don't walk around. Also, no matter what they have, they must not be confiscated!"

The personal soldiers agreed and went quickly.

There are many minerals in the mountains in this area, including gold, copper ore, iron ore, etc. For nomadic tribes, it is difficult to mine general minerals. It does not require technology to rush gold in the river, but manpower can be used. Those who occupy this place have been rushing gold in the river. The weather is too cool now, and only these dozen slaves who don’t care about their lives or death are here. When the weather is warm, this area will be very lively.

After dealing with the dozen gold-digging people, they no longer saw the people or the herdsmen. The army rushed to the fortunately and arrived at the city of Wushuhai before dark.

This is a large mountain valley with yellow grass, with big trees scattered among them. There is more precipitation in the mountains than at the foot of the mountains and the grassland is rich, which is a place that nomads like. The mountains are falling and the water is sparse, and the Yellow River flows to form a scattered lake, accompanied by yellow sand.

Nomadic people like to live on the mountains, while farming Han people like to land at the foot of the mountains, irrigate the Yellow River water, and then become fertile fields. For thousands of years of competition for agriculture and animal husbandry, the banks of the Yellow River are full of Qin and Han dynasties, and nomadic whereabouts are everywhere in the mountains.

Yang Wenguang stood at the city of Wushuhai. The surrounding troops set up camps and arranged artillery positions according to the pre-war plan. They were busy and tense and orderly. The city was quiet and there was no movement.

Turning around, Yang Wenguang and his personal soldiers walked in front of Wushuhai City, looking at the geographical terrain here, and comparing it with the map.

The map operations of Yingtianxiangjun far exceeded this era, but they were still rough and not very accurate, just a rough one. For Yang Wenguang's level, the arrangement according to the map is enough, and when they reach the battalion level, they must be adjusted according to actual conditions.
