"There is a small river in front of Shimen Gorge. The plants and trees are lush. The ambush here are easy to hide, but it is not easy to escape the enemy's spy."

Zheng Lang smiled. Later, there were almost several light mountains on both sides of Shimenxia. It seemed that the environment of the Song Dynasty was generally better than that of later generations. He said: "General Zhong, what do you think?"

"It's better to go and take a look and learn about the entire terrain of Wuyanxia before making a decision."

Di Qing said: "I'll go in person."

"General Di, don't take risks." Zheng Lang said.

The fierce man in the Prefecture, Zhang Ke, was brave and invincible in the world. He went to the enemy's territory to check the terrain and was discovered by the Qiang people. Countless Qiang people chased him. Although he finally escaped, he was seriously injured. In addition to his old injuries, he attacked him and died early in middle age.

Di Qing's command ability is better than that of Zhang Dashen, and his courage is probably far from that of Zhang Dashen.

"Mr. Zheng, I will be careful."

"Be careful and careful. It is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. You are not your personal safety, but also one of the safety of the Song Dynasty. It is not for you to save your life personally, but for me, the Song Dynasty, that you must protect yourself."

"Mr. Zheng..."

"If you go, go, bring more guards, and don't let others know your identity, otherwise the enemy will siege you with heavy troops."

"Here."

Anyway, the battle time was postponed to mid-October, so there was no hurry. Zheng Lang said again: "If the enemy is in a hurry, how can we arrange it in the future?"

The old group hesitated and said, "How many troops are there in Henan in Xixia?"

Unlike the beginning, until today, the Song Dynasty knew all the big news in the Western Xia territory.

For example, the famous Shouquan of Wei, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, Yang Kuo, Xu Minzong, and Zhang Wenxian were the masters of plots and discussions, and the Zhong Dingchen Documents were written to make a fortune, and the people were lying in the city. There were many people who were like Ding, and many of them were Ma Dou, but Ji was the master of military and horses, and the wild and the benevolent and the foremost were the masters of foreign scholars. There were also Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who also had a strong position in the Western Xia, but not as good as the former.

The twelve military supervisors were also established, and the right commander was appointed to the right, and 70,000 people from Hebei to Wulashan to prepare for the Khitan. Baibao, Anyanzhou, Luoluo, Tiandu, Weijingshan and other 50,000 people were prepared for the Ring, Qing, Zhenrong, Yuanzhou, and 50,000 people were guarding the Ring, Qing, Zhenrong, Yuanzhou, and the left 10,000 people were prepared for the Fu, Yan, Lin, and the right 10,000 people were stationed in Ganzhou to prepare for the Western Fan and Uighurs; Helan stationed 50,000 troops, 50,000 people were guarding the Xingqing Prefecture in Xingzhou, totaling more than 500,000.

The approximate military distribution, for example, there is no evil with the Khitan now, but because of Princess Xingping's death, Yuan Hao was guilty of being a thief. He arranged some troops in Hebei, Xixia, that is, Beihetao, south of Yinshan, which was less than 70,000. After fighting with the Khitan, the military strength of 70,000 was more than 70,000.

If you want to expand your results, the first line of defense was to start from Baibao City and go to Weijing Mountain in the northwest of Huizhou, to the northwest of Zhenrong Army, and these 50,000 troops.

Yuan Hao twitched again and would be beaten into a sieve by the Song army on Jingyuan Road.

This is a theory, but it is impossible in practice. There are still some people behind it. It is estimated that the 120,000 people in Helan Mountain and Xingzhou will not be able to rescue them, but there are 50,000 troops stationed in Lingzhou.

Di Qing's eyes flashed with light and he said, "Do you want to launch a tentative attack on Lingzhou?"

Regardless of success or not, this meaning is huge.

The old generation was also moved, but after a while he calmed down, he shook his head and said, "It's not right. Lingzhou is not the Lingzhou in the past. The Western Xia bandits reinforced the city walls, as high as three meters, easy to defend but difficult to attack. They are also too far away from our territory. All the troops attacked. If Yuan Hao suddenly returns, the entire army may be wiped out."

Zheng Lang also thought it was too risky and said, "Take the reward and move the mouth. According to the situation, attack Weizhou or Mingsha City. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, fight quickly and return quickly."

"Okay!" Di Qing said.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song Dynasty have fought until now, and they have not even dared to take a step forward in the territory of Xixia, but have suffered several defeats, which has been too cowardly.

But he has a low status and dares not speak out.

Zheng Lang is the number one commander of Jingyuan Road, and is favored by the emperor and the representative of civil officials. Since he said that he was fighting, the opportunity was so rare, so what else can hesitate?

The general direction has been decided and the detailed steps have been discussed.

In fact, this is the third time to discuss. The first time was Zheng Lang and Di Qing, and the second time was Zheng Lang and Di Qing, Lao Zhong, Zhang Fangping and Zhao Xun.

Li Zhengyuan was frightened and asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you want to report to Your Majesty?"

"You can write this memorial."

"I can't write."

"You don't understand now?"

"Can I understand?"

"You sit here and listen, but you can't understand. Can the ministers in the court make a correct judgment by reading a letter? Han Qi hasn't fought yet, and it's bustling and everyone knows it. As a result, Shuichuan is defeated. I will report this to Your Majesty, but it's not now. So I call you to come and listen to it, just to be a testimony."

Li Zhengyuan doesn't know what to say.

Zheng Lang sneered in his heart. Although his military talent was not as good as that of the old generation, he had later knowledge, historical memory, and the old generation's planning, Di Qing's command ability, and the three-person teammates. If it didn't work, no one else in the Song Dynasty could do it.

Command the people in the court?

Who else can do it except Lu Yijian?

Even Lu Yijian can only say that he has made contributions to the dispatch. After several years of battle, Lu Yijian was lucky enough to manage the country carefully in the court to overcome the difficulties. As for military affairs, Lu Yijian still couldn't understand it.

There is no hope for Pang Ji, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan in the fourth road of Shaanxi, and the big guys in the court.

...

After discussion, Zheng Lang sent a team of troops to Hedong again. Fulin Road has now become the racetrack for Xixia and cannot survive. He has to go to Lanzhou, Hedong and the east bank of the Yellow River to wait for an opportunity to find out the news.

This group of people is quite large, with fifty people. Zheng Lang asked them to try their best to sneak into Fulin to inquire about the news after they arrive at their destination. It is best to get in through the gap and contact Fulin. Then, every three or five days, they must send a message about the war on Fulin Road.

Further arrangements can only be made later.

After the scout team left, Zheng Lang sent someone to send a letter to Fan Zhongyan. The Xixia army fought on Fulin Road, so let's build a Xiyao City.

Its significance is very important to Jingyuan and Huanqing Road, and Fan Zhongyan happily agreed.

But Zheng Lang organized the army again in the rear.

After sucking, five thousand people were drawn out to form a new army called the Thin Waist Army.

This army will cooperate with Fan Zhongyan to build a Xiyao City.

If this city is formed, Huanqing can connect with the Jingyuan front line and block the three rebels in the rear, so it must be tall and strong. Otherwise, after the Yuanhao army returns, it will definitely launch an attack on it.

It takes at least several months to build a tall village, and some can last more than a year.

In the future, you can gradually increase the height, widen and reinforce it, but you must have a big appearance within one or two months. If you want to have a big appearance, you must have a lot of people.

The Xiaoyao Army increased the number of people building cities, and the main people came from Huanzhou, and the city was also within Huanzhou.

Not only did Fan Zhongyan produce the main labor and financial resources for the construction of the city, including the influence of the three ministries, but also handed over to Fan Zhongyan. It was originally Fan Zhongyan's credit, and Zheng Lang didn't want to share the food.

In fact, Zheng Lang is ready to disarmament.

The 5,000 people from the Xiyao Army were all soldiers who performed very poorly during the training process.

If you appreciate this level, if you perform poorly, you will be considered to be cured.

More than these five thousand people have chosen one again. Most of the families have heavy burdens, such as having wives, children, old and young, and are orphans in the family, the main labor force in the family, and some people with thin and weak bodies and sickness, and their performance is not good.

These people are placed in the army, not only will they not increase their combat effectiveness, but may become a burden.

After building the Thinyao City, they will be sent home.

We have to choose in the future, and the one we choose first is this thin waist army.

Then do the training.

Forty thousand troops came to Tiansheng Village and Qianning Village to train troops. The training was fake, and the construction of Xiyao City was built by guarding Huanzhou.

Not far from Xiyao City, but on the east side of Wuyanqian Gorge, it continues to not alarm the people of Xixia.

The Xia army in Tiandu Shanxi quickly heard the news and did not expect that Zheng Lang would launch a counterattack.

However, once the construction of Xiyao City was built, the three tribes of the Imperial Tribe were completely isolated, which was of great significance. However, Henan lacked military strength and had no choice but to report to Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao was very angry, but there was no way to do so, and said, let them build it.

Well, since you are building a city, then build it. Put your energy on building a city and will not counterattack against Xixia. You can feel at ease and slowly seize the Linzhou Prefecture.

But this time his invasion finally annoyed Zhao Zhen and issued a harsh order.
