In addition to the border line between Shaanxi Fourth Road and Xixia, which was more than 2,000 miles long, the Song Dynasty also had other border lines, in the north. The Suide Army was above the Suide Army at the northern end of Yanfu. Then there was Yincheng, and then the legendary Shenmu Village of Mu Guiying's mother-in-law. In Linzhou City, which bordered Quyechuan and the ancient Great Wall, was the Fuzhou City, and behind it was the volcanic military city where the Baode Army and the Yang Family Generals started. The three of them often rely on each other and struggled to survive in the joints between the Khitan and the Dangxiang.

The northeast corner is the Wang family of Fengzhou, which Zheng Lang said was lonely overseas. It was not Fengzhou of the Tang Dynasty, but it was also the most difficult place to defend in the northwest corner.

Chen Zhizhong once proposed to evacuate all the people in this area, because it was difficult to defend, and Xixia sent troops and would inevitably be lost.

It makes sense, but it is wrong. Is it necessary to lose territory because it is difficult to defend?

In this area, on the upper right is Xijing Road of the Khitan, and on the lower left is Yinzhou, the old nest of Xixia.

But in this dangerous position, except for Fengzhou, other prefectures stood stubbornly until the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because of the Zhe family army!

Seeing that the girl he gave birth to was really powerful, I asked Zheng Lang again what army was the most powerful, Zheng Lang replied that it would be the Zhe Family Army.

Although the Jurchens in his hand are powerful, they cannot last long. Once they stay in the Song Dynasty for a long time, they will be affected by the wealth and honor of the Song army and their combat power will soon disappear.

Only the Zhe Family Army is the most beautiful and fierce legend in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is pronounced as She, not a broken fold.

...

Another new legend is about to happen, a legend that was deliberately downplayed by Han historians in order to deliberately vilify the Han people's own country, the Song Dynasty.

A legend of Sanchuankou, good water river, and Dingchuan Fortress failed, no teaching, no publicity, no analysis, and extremely aggrieved.

...

Miao Jixuan, the governor of Linzhou, Wang Kai.

The governor of Fengzhou was Wang Yuqing of the Wang family in Fengzhou, and Sun Ji was imprisoned by the army.

Prefecture Zhe Jimin.

There is also a famous general, the little commander, Zhang Ji.

...

Yuan Hao sent troops to Xixia, and Zheng Lang relied on historical memory.

But history is gradually changing. The first is Ge Huaimin. He had achieved a small victory in the attack on the Xixia iron ore. Later, he was defeated by Xixia on Yanfu Road. Fortunately, Wang Xin rescued him. Now Ge Huaimin went to Jingyuan Road in advance and was defeated. However, a small victory in the attack on the iron ore further helped him to be proud and arrogant.

Therefore, Zheng Lang dared not say that Yuan Hao would definitely invade Fulin. Even if he invades, he dared not say that he must have taken the main army of Xixia to Fulin by himself.

Chang Mingde and Liu Xuanrui analyzed the situation from the perspective of the situation. Yuan Hao would place the next goal either in Fulin or Jingyuan. Di Qing added the terrain factor and formed a fake iron wall under the two operations of Zheng Lang and Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan left Huanqing and built forts one by one. Jingyuan Road was also built. But unlike the other two roads, there was no dangerous terrain to defend.

This is an analysis, and I am not sure.

However, Zheng Lang only thought about the real reason.

The reason for attacking the Prefectures was because Li Yuanhao had a feud with the Prefectures and the Zhe family. Not only the Zhe family, but also the Wang family and the Yang family have always been enemies with Li Yuanhao's ancestors.

This is hatred.

The geographical location of the three states of Feng and Linfu.

From the perspective of terrain alone, except Fengzhou, the other two states are not easy to attack. However, there are many tributaries of the Yellow River in the territory of the three states, with abundant water and grass. The valleys are flat and rivers are everywhere, suitable for agriculture and peasantry. For the Song Dynasty, it was an important horse-producing land in the Song Dynasty. For the Xixia people, it was a large granary. Especially, the territory has been mostly desertified, and I am more eager for the rich land of these three states and salivating. The ethnic composition is also beneficial. Except for a very small number of xenophobia, the other Dangxiang people and Li Yuanhao do not have much hatred. They are all from the same clan, and they are easy to influence and govern and take it for themselves.

Fulin directly leads to Hedong. Once Xixia gets it, the entire gate of Hedong will be open to Xixia. If Li Yuanhao gets it, he will point directly to Lanzhou and face Taiyuan, how far will it be from the lockdown?

This is the inevitable reason why Yuan Hao attacked Fulin, but there is another accidental factor in attacking Fulin this time.

Because historians deliberately belittled the Song Dynasty, few people carefully analyzed this glorious battle. Some people accidentally found out from the biographies of Song history, and some people learned the truth.

Unfortunately, because of neglect, Zheng Lang did not know that in the environment of dwarfing and uglinessing the Song Dynasty.

First, a foreign tribe, Miluo, was appointed as the palace servant, and moved to the governor of Zhaozhou and served as the commander of the military commander of the Goulin Mansion to seek brocade robes and post materials, but Kang Deyu did not agree.

Mi Luo was resentful.

It just so happened that after the Battle between the Song Dynasty and Xixia from Sanchuankou, they officially broke up and in addition to the war, they wooed the people in the enemy territory.

Xixia was poor, and some tribes were eager to enter the Song Dynasty.

Some officials of the Song Dynasty were rude, many Han people looked down on the Qiang people, some Qiang people were not satisfied with the pride of the Han people and the rampant officials, and were also eager to enter the Western Xia.

The Song Dynasty had advantages, but did not do it well, so the two sides were in an intertwined state.

Because he was dissatisfied with Kante, Meluo said some complaints in resentment. When someone heard it, someone slandered Meluo and the people of Xixia who were intimate, and when the battle was in oppression, he happened to meet Yuanhao who sent people to surrender the tribes of the Three Prefectures on the border. He really secretly understood the Western Xia people. He told the people of Xixia that the three prefectures are now few, weak, and easy to attack. When the army arrived, I am willing to be a guide.

No one paid attention to it, but the commander Zhang Ji heard about it.

Compared with Kang Deyu, Zhang Ke has a more keen sense of military touch.

Not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if, I summon Meluo and drink with Meluo for about the same time. Zhang Ke tried it. Meluo cried and said, "How can I join the thief? Because I want to escape to death."

He did not say that he had surrendered to the thief, nor did he say that he had not surrendered to the thief.

But Zhang Ji heard the words and said to Kang Deyu: "Mi Luoguo rebelled, please believe it, and you must not stop killing."

Kang Deyu said: "Without obvious evidence, how can you kill a fan son at will?"

Zhang Ke said: "Mi Luoguo rebelled, it was not slandering everyone. If he was executed publicly, he was afraid that the impact would be bad. Please call me to drink, take advantage of his drunkenness, tie it up and push it down the cliff valley, and declare that he fell off his horse and died. Who knows that it was our Han general who killed it?"

It’s not that Zhang Ke wants to kill someone. If you get involved in this big deal of collusion with the enemy, you must kill it, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Kang Deyu hesitated and asked his confidants. He was evil to Zhang Ji and destroyed him shortly. Zhang Ji's plan was not allowed to be implemented.

The various factors that inevitably attacked the two states of Fulin, coupled with this accidental trigger, so Yuanhao officially decided to attack the three states of Fulin, Fenglin.

The war begins.

...

Wang Yuan looked up at the blue sky.

There are a few white clouds in the sky. At the end of July, it is a little hot, but the sky is loud.

Crossing Quyechuan is Linzhou City.

Zheng Lang sent someone to inform the two states of Linfu to prepare, but it was too far away. It was more than 2,000 miles away. There were many mountains and rivers, all of which came on horseback, and it took **day.

But Zheng Lang sent more people this time.

There were ten people in total, including Wang Yuan, two other guards brought from Hangzhou, Ye Yugui, Sun Xiaoyi, and several elves of Jingyuan Road. Liu Zhen and Wang Lu, there were ten people in total, and the ten people had strict requirements, good horse riding, outstanding martial arts, shrewd and capable, and able to read some words.

There is another thing in common, both are Zheng Lang’s guards.

It seems that Zheng Lang accidentally ordered ten people out and came to Fulin to deliver the letter, but in fact everyone met these requirements.

Before leaving, Zheng Lang ordered that not only send a letter, but also leave most of the people to watch this battle and record the battle.

I don't know Zheng Lang's intention.

The reason is very simple. In this battle, many heroes and brave generals appeared, and the court treated them too poorly.

As bystanders, they record one by one, which is evidence.

Moreover, some of the people in the middle are brave and good at fighting. If the court treats them well, they will become important generals of the court, which will be of great benefit to protecting the northwest.

Call the boatman.

The boat was not big, Wang Yuan untied the saddle, patted the horse's back, and let the horse go down the river.

Ten people sent the horses down the river and boarded the boat. The old boatman asked Wang Yuan: "Brother Soldier, it seems that you are also a veteran."

"I'm not."

The boatman looked at the horse swimming in the river in confusion and asked, "Brother Soldier, why are you very interesting in horse-controlling skills?"

It seems to have nothing to do with horse racing, but it is also a bit.

Horses not only know how to swim, but also like to swim. But if they spread into the river like this, if the horse is not human and has different hearts from the owner, it is very likely that they will run away along the river. Of course, it may also be a praising word.

Wang Yuan blushed and said, "Am I a veteran? I have just joined the army for a few months."

"Brother Soldier, are you from the Southern Family?"

"I'm from Jiangning."

"The people of Jiangning have also come to the northwest?" the old boatman asked in surprise.

This time, the imperial court organized troops and mobilized the forbidden soldiers from many places, including Lianghuai, but there were very few soldiers from the East Road of Jiangnan. It was not that they were not recruited. The weather in the south was hot and humid, and the weather in the north was cold and high. It was difficult for soldiers recruited from the south to adapt to the weather in the north.

Wang Yuan replied: "Weng Weng, no, I followed my husband to the northwest. After I arrived in the northwest, my husband let me enter the army."

"Your husband? That husband?"

Fan Yong and Xia Shu were sent to the northwest by the imperial court.

"Mr. Zheng," Wang Yuan finished speaking, and did not answer the old man again.

After getting on the shore, he blew a whistle and ten horses swam up from the river, but their horse's hair was wet, so ten people led their horses and slowly walked towards Linzhou City.

The old boatman sat at the stern of the boat and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Mr. Zheng."

Finally I remembered that the youngest prime minister had just been to the northwest.

But people have gone far away, and it is too late to regret.

When he arrived at the city of Linzhou, the city was built against the mountain and the city walls were tall. Wang Yuan was a little suspicious. He had seen many forts on Jingyuan Road, including those like Zhenrong Army, which Yuan Hao could not break. He didn't know how Yuan Hao could break through Linzhou City.

Besides, I heard that Fuzhou City was built almost entirely on the mountain, forming a bird's nest, which was above the plains, making it even more difficult to attack.
