    "General, General Xue and General Qin from the third and fourth towns in the south have sent letters. They have cleared the Qiang and Hu tribes in the southern area and are now stationed along the Zishui River. Currently, between the north of the Datong River and the Zishui River  The 600-mile territory has been included in the jurisdiction of our Zhao army. The two generals came to ask if they will attack in an all-out way?" In the Zhao army's camp, the soldiers from the third town reported to Li Chenfeng the situation of the southern army.

    "You go back and reply to the two generals, asking them to temporarily stop the attack, assist Bingzhou's logistics team to relocate the population, stabilize the place, and deal with the incoming refugees from the south and west. It is my Lord's wish to see if the Liangzhou army can be brought in.  , to facilitate future actions. In addition, our strong attack has also made the Qiang and Hu tribes in the central part of the country begin to want to unite. Now, let's relax, reduce their pressure, win over some, and finally clear up some."

    "General, where are we now? Do we have to stop? With the strength of our northern and southern armies, we are enough to take down the tribes in the central part. Even if we are preparing to attack Liangzhou, there is no need to stop the attack now." First.  Zhang Ju, the deputy general of the town, asked in confusion after joining the army in the south and leaving.

    Li Chenfeng smiled bitterly and said: "To pull Liangzhou into the water is indeed one of the purposes. The most important reason is that now that winter is here, our army has nearly 100,000 troops on the North Road, including many heavy troops.  . The consumption in one day is not a small amount. If there is a heavy snowfall, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be Besides, the focus is now on stabilizing the state and our newly occupied territory, and the logistics pressure is extremely heavy."

    "Now, in addition to the Mohe Eight Banners Soldiers and the First Town, the Young Guards and the Auxiliary Army will escort the Qiang and Hu people to evacuate here and settle down in Bingzhou, which will also reduce the pressure on logistics. As for the central tribes, this winter will not be easy.  , let¡¯s talk while fighting, Shunchang will just die.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Youzhou City, after inspecting Jinyang City, Zhao Xun returned to Zhao Jun¡¯s base camp.  Needless to say, the family reunion went into detail. Zhao Jun, civil and military officials celebrated the victory in Bingzhou for several days.  The only thing that made Zhao Xun unhappy was that Murong Cheng sent people one after another to persuade Zhao Xun to send troops to Yongzhou.  Regarding these, Zhao Xun naturally declined in every possible way.

    However, when Zhao Xun returned to Youzhou City, he did not just rest and enjoy himself. He also discussed the new direction of Zhao Jun with the civil and military officials.  In Zhao Xun's words, that is the action plan for the new year.

    "Everyone, now the north has completed the occupation of Bingzhou. It can be said that so far, we have formed a comprehensive suppression of Situ Lei. As long as we are willing, Liangzhou and Yongzhou are both under our attack, and they are  The most comprehensive attack. However, due to Situ Lei's physical condition, he is now far less of a threat to us than Murong Cheng's Qi army. Therefore, our current focus is on the border issues between Murong Cheng and Beimen."

    "Operations have now begun in the north. Zhang Yuanjing remains in Shuofang, where he is fully responsible for dividing and winning over the Turkic tribes. I think that soon, we will have several more tribes close to us in the north of Bingzhou. What we need to do next  It is to keep pushing our border line northward. Our course of action remains unchanged, advancing step by step, gradually building cities, and reducing the living space of the nomads, even if it is grazing, we must turn the northern grassland into our internal pasture."

    "In addition to the Turks in the north, there is also the Heishui Mohe tribe in the north of the east. Although the temperature there is cold, the land is fertile, there are many medicinal materials in the mountains, and the wood is excellent. For vehicles and boats, there are the best resources. Even if we  Rather than attacking them directly, we must turn them into our subordinate tribes. In terms of the living resources we have here, we can definitely make them turn to us in terms of life and make them surrender to us mentally.  "

    "As for the south, that is Murong Cheng's Qi army. As for the remaining small princes, I don't pay attention to it." Zhao Xun said slowly, "What do you think about attacking Murong Cheng?"

    Situ Liang was the first to say: "We have also discussed Murong Cheng's actions in the south. Generally speaking, we have two directions to go in now, one overt and the other overt. One is to continue to uphold the court's justice and act openly.  Conquer Situ Lei, secretly target Murong Cheng, win over the Xuzhou army, and take joint action against Murong Cheng. The second is to directly raise troops to attack Murong Cheng. However, in this case, the whole situation will become difficult to control.  In other words, the three princes will begin to conquer each other, and the name of the imperial court will be completely destroyed. Then we may also face the joint suppression of Murong Cheng, Situ Lei in the south, and the Turks in the north. "

    Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said: "Then, according to what you want, we can only do it secretly now. In other words, we should sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and provoke Murong Cheng and Situ Lei to fight."

    Situ Liang said: "Because we are currently fighting with the Turks in the north.In the battle, before a solid northern defense line could be formed, the Turks were always a big problem.  Although we defeated the Turks once in the middle of the year.  However, that was because of surprise, and it was also because the Turks suffered a serious white disaster last year.  Therefore, the north, especially the north of Bingzhou, is a weak place for us.  The Turks alone are not scary. It would be the most dangerous if Murong Cheng and Situ Lei all join forces.  After all, if it was clear that he would become the king himself, he would abandon the court and fight on his own.  Then, Murong Cheng and Situ Lei, who were captured by us and merged with the state, will definitely fight back against us, and they will unceremoniously pull the Turks in the north.  "

    "In addition, we now have the intention to plan for Liangzhou. We can attack Situ Lei openly, and Murong Cheng can naturally plot to steal it secretly. Situ Lei and Murong Cheng are mortal enemies, and we can take advantage of them. The Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army,  They were all dragged by Murong Cheng to attack Yongzhou for more than half a year without any gains, and the most important thing is that we still have a Yanzhou Army in the south, so it is very reasonable for them to develop southward.  "

    Situ Liang paused and then said: "On the coast of Jiaozhou, we still occupy the entire Qiongzhou Island. In that area, we can arrange tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people. The terrain there is special.  If we take action, we can be surprised. After all, Jiaozhou is also the place where the Yong Army and the Qi Army are fighting. The sudden appearance of tens of thousands of troops can influence the entire battle. However, the premise is that we continue to strengthen development there. Today, half of Qiongzhou Island is.  However, if we bribe the Yangzhou Navy General, we can use Qiongzhou Island as our surprise force in the southern region. "

    "Our battle in Bingzhou will cost a lot of money, and we will have to admit a lot of refugees into the country. The center of gravity of the army is in the west and northwest. Therefore, my subordinates say that we cannot directly abandon the broken flag of the imperial court for the time being.  Take action against Murong Cheng."

    Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "If we continue to attack Liangzhou, how do you think Situ Lei will react? Will he become angry from shame?"

    Lu Ziliang replied: "This land of Liangzhou borders the Western Regions to the west and Chang'an to the east. But it is located in the northwest, with numerous Qiang and Hu ethnic groups in the territory, and the people's customs are fierce, making it difficult for the government to govern. Since the Liangzhou rebellion a few years ago, this place has  The western part of Liangzhou has lost its relationship with the Western Regions, and the Qiang and Hu are also powerful internally. Now, Liangzhou has lost its role as a commercial channel to the Western Regions. However, Liangzhou's status is not as good as before.  It is Yongzhou's flank defense line, especially when Bingzhou is lost, Situ Lei will not let Liangzhou be lost, otherwise, Yongzhou will be under siege from all sides. Furthermore, we have just signed an agreement with Situ Lei, so we cannot just do it right away.  Betrayal. At the same time, we need the population of the South to work for us.¡±

    "However, the Lord did not ask General Li Chenfeng to postpone his actions to see if Liangzhou could be dragged into the water. If we did not take the initiative, but Liangzhou took the lead. We were counterattacking, and there would be no need to worry about this. By then, even if we cannot take  The whole territory of Xia Liangzhou and the northern part of Liangzhou can be conquered. The only worry is that although the governor of Liangzhou is keen on the position of King Yong, he does not dare to take the initiative to challenge us. Therefore, I am afraid that the success rate this time is not high.  ¡±

    Zhao Xun smiled: "My king asked General Li Chenfeng to postpone his actions, mainly for the arrival of winter and to prepare for the sudden heavy snowfall. As for attracting the governor of Liangzhou to go into the water, that is also incidental. However, this Liangzhou  But the land is not a difficult place to conquer. According to our people's investigation, the life of the people in Liangzhou is not good.  The Yong army marches east and west to provide soldiers, grain and supplies. There are not many troops in Liangzhou, especially there are not many veterans. If our army attacks, it will not be difficult if we only need to cut off the connection between Yongzhou and Liangzhou.  God has a problem."

    "In this way, from now on, we will increase our control around Qiongzhou Island. If necessary, we can occupy the southern islands. Do not be exposed to direct contact with our army. At the same time, we will send students from the Armed Forces Academy south to Qiongzhou.  Island activities. In addition, we can also infiltrate Jiaozhou. According to reports from the Eagle Eye Division, the Qi army and the Ningyi army are constantly fighting in Jiaozhou, and there are riots among the local natives and Nanyi tribes.  Separation and self-reliance, we can also intervene. After all, Murong Cheng is focusing all his energy on Yongzhou and Luoyang, looking at his supreme emperor's throne, and has neglected a lot of the south. "

    "In addition, various logistics departments continue to prepare grain and grass supplies. Especially like Zhentian Lei, the more the better. Of course, the most important thing now is the winter that has arrived. In addition to preparing for the winter needs of the newly arrived people from Bingzhou  , and also prepare to win over and attack the Turkic tribes. What the king wants to do by leaving the cavalry in the north of Bingzhou is to tell the Turks that they could attack us at any time, but now, we can attack them at any time.  Let them have a taste of what they have poured into our peoplePain, if you go with it, you will prosper, if you go against it, you will perish. By the way, some tribes will also see that if they refuse to surrender, then they will be the first to be attacked.  "

    Situ Liang said solemnly: "In this case, my subordinates also suggested that the tribes we want to win over should be tribes that are some distance away from Bingzhou. Let them move south and strangle some Turkic tribes along the way so that they can't turn back. In addition,  Keeping them farther away from us will also facilitate our expansion to the north. "

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "It's a pity. Send a message to Yuan Jing immediately and ask him to prepare in this way. The Turkic tribes are good at herding, so let them exchange their livestock for our daily necessities such as food, salt and tea. In addition, some of our retired soldiers  We will exchange the equipment with them as appropriate to support their expansion northwards.¡±

    "By the way, the Bingzhou area and the Qianghu area in the northwest of Bingzhou must arrange officials as soon as possible to take over the work. The Supervision Department must also increase supervision. I don't want anything to happen in the area we just took over.  To oppress the people, we will increase the system of assistant officers in Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places to facilitate future deployment."

    "The river dredging has now been completed. It can be said that the pressure on us has been reduced by more than half. By the way, do our northern rivers, especially the former canal, already border the Yellow River and Yanzhou?"

    "It has been connected, and both the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army have benefited from it. Furthermore, the main channel of our canal is still in the middle of Yanzhou, and most of Yanzhou is now in the hands of the Yanzhou Army. In other words, our canal  It has basically been connected with Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south. Now, there are already a lot of merchant ships traveling through Yanzhou. If it weren't for the fact that Yuzhou is where the coalition forces gather, most of them are logistics teams.  I'm afraid that business is even more prosperous," Situ Liang said with a smile on his face.

    "It is also because of this that many wealthy gentry in the south have begun to move north. After all, the policies, people, customs, and living environment of our Zhao region are far superior to those of the southern states. In particular, the taxation and labor in our territory are comparable to those in the south.  The rule of the Qi army and the rule of King Yong are much easier. Not only the wealthy gentry, but also the scholarly families have begun to migrate to our territory. Now, more and more scholars agree with what the Lord has done.  Because, most of them are thinking about the entire people and the country, rather than simply seizing political power." Political Affairs Envoy Pei Yi said with a smile. In the past, Zhao Xun was always rejected by scholars. Now, it is finally different. As Zhao Jun's Political Affairs Envoy.  , he couldn't be unhappy.

    Yang Wangzhen, the political envoy, also smiled and said: "Not only that, many scholars believe that the Lord can send his army south to compete with Murong Cheng and Situ Lei for the world. They believe that only by conquering the world can the Lord stand up for better people and let  More people live better."

    Situ Liang sighed and said: "It seems that my lord has won the hearts of the people in the world. My lord's policy of building high walls, hoarding grain, slowly becoming king, first conquering foreign enemies, and then targeting the Central Plains is the most appropriate."

    Zhao Xun smiled. He understood that the first three points were summarized by someone and used by himself.  As for the latter, it was a decision made taking into account the Three Kingdoms and the subsequent Five Huanhua.  After all, the triangle is the most stable. Only by staying out of it can the remaining two points start the fiercest fight.  Regardless, it now appears that this has been successful.

    "Now that the river dredging is completed, the next step is to build the Chidao. After the Chidao is built, it will not only benefit the businessmen, but we will also benefit. Apart from the tax revenue, we can mobilize the army faster  To various places. In addition, we can also make those caravans the logistics team of our army. This will not only make the mobilization of our army faster, but also alleviate the logistics problems of our army when the time comes.  Give it to the merchants and let them move the grain and grass supplies we need to where we need them. In other words, they can follow the army." Zhao Xun knew that in history, the Song Dynasty was a prosperous business and became China.  The richest dynasty in history.  Not only is the country rich, but ordinary people are also rich.

    Pei Yi said: "My lord, don't worry. Now that my subordinates have seen the benefits from Chidao, they will naturally not change anything. Within the state capitals, we have completed most of the Chidao construction. The rest are just some  The main reason for the inconvenience is that we need to open mountains and build bridges, so the project is huge and takes time. "

    Afterwards, Zhao Xun listened to the reports from each department and made corresponding comments on the work of each department for the year.  Although Zhao Xun did not dare to provide better guidance on the detailed work of each department, Zhao Xun had a better understanding of the overall situation.  He can give some guidance from the overall situation, and the remaining details will naturally be resolved through detailed consultations between various departments.  It took Zhao Xun and other civil and military officials five days just to hold a summary meeting.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In Zhao Xun, he and the civil and military officials talked freely about the land of ZhaoAt the right moment, Murong Cheng was so angry that he threw the teacup in his house.

    "Damn it, Zhao Xun first defeated the Turks, and then seized the land of Bingzhou from Situ Lei. And we, in the past year, first lost Yanzhou to the Yanzhou army, and then fought hard in Yongzhou to no avail, and even lost troops and generals. Now Zhao Xun  Xiao'er was so benefited that he stopped moving forward. If I didn't have the hundreds of thousands of Yong troops here to contain, how could Zhao Xun occupy Bingzhou and let Situ Lei give up? "

    Seeing that Murong Cheng was furious because of the envoy's attitude in replying to Zhao Xun, Zhang Tu, Zhong Yan and others also shook their heads secretly.  In their opinion, Zhao Xun was not to blame for this incident.  If they were to change places, they would refuse.  Murong Cheng didn't offer any benefits. He was completely jealous of Zhao Xun's benefits, so he insisted on letting Zhao Xun send troops. How could Zhao Xun agree?

    "I want to attack at the two passes, what do you think?" Murong Cheng said coldly.

    Zhang Tu said urgently: "Your Majesty, no!"

    "Huh? Why? Zhao Xun has captured Bingzhou, but we have made no achievements. Is this a stalemate all the time? There is a message from the rear that our food and supplies have begun to be tight. If this continues, supporting the army will be a problem."

    "Your Majesty, the cold winter has arrived, and the end of the year is approaching. Not only do the soldiers not adapt to the hard fighting in the cold winter, but the Tang Army, Yanzhou Army, and Xuzhou Army also requested a truce due to logistical problems and the soldiers have to go home for the New Year, and fight again next year. We are attacking now.  ,certainly¡­¡­"
