Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 225 Getting Ready
With countless cattle, sheep and livestock, Zhao Guangmei and Sun Yue returned to Xiazhou with a full load.

Originally, they were sent by Zhao Kuangyin to attack Shu, but somehow they played on the Northwest battlefield for more than three months, and Zhao Guangmei completely let himself go.

Just a few days ago, another messenger came from Xiazhou. It didn't say anything special. It was just that a new messenger was sent to Fengzhou City by the imperial court, and it was Lu Duoxun, the leading figure in Zhao Guangyi's hands.

Sun Yue knew that he should go.

The Hexi Corridor is a bubble that looks very beautiful, and it will burst when poked. The declaration of war by the coalition forces against the Uighurs in Shazhou is just a political gesture. No matter how good the situation is, it is nothing more than a political game. In a few years, nothing can be managed. From the present point of view, only those horses that are exchanged for cement can be regarded as real gains.

As for the economic envoys of the Hexi Army, the Guiyi Army, and the Dingnan Army, at least for the time being, most of them were practical. To put it bluntly, they just earned face and added some glory to Zhao Kuangyin's face, that's all.

In contrast, Hou Shu can really eat the meat in his stomach, and whoever eats will grow stronger.

However, after Sun Yue discussed with Zhao Guangmei, Sun Yue decided to leave alone for the time being, and Zhao Guangmei would stay.

For one thing, Zhao Guangmei hasn't had enough fun yet, and he also wants to spend a few more days in Xiazhou with his little baby.

Second, before the three economic envoys of the Song Dynasty took office, the Song Dynasty needed such a political symbol, and at the same time continued to maintain pressure on the Uighurs in Shazhou. If he leaves now, this loose alliance is likely to disintegrate immediately up.

Thirdly, Zhao Guangmei needs to leave Sun Yue.Because Zhao Guangmei's goal is to become a king, and being a king requires merit. Although Zhao Guangmei has done very well so far, they are all under the assistance of Sun Yue. It can even be said that Sun Yue did it at all, even if no one said it. , Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also knew it in their hearts.

Now Zhao Guangmei's most urgent thing is not credit, but to change the impression of Manchu civil and military officials on him. The current situation in the Northwest is very good, but it is actually not enough for Zhao Guangmei. Harvesting will do.

Before leaving, Sun Yue gave Zhao Guangmei three basic principles. First, if you have any doubts, you can listen to Murong Yan. Apart from being a daughter, your fiancée is not inferior to the so-called young hero at all. By the way , help yourself to watch, don't let the little boy take advantage of it.

Second, the livestock and money seized during the war can be given priority to the Dangxiang, but the Dangxiang’s influence must be strictly limited to the five states of Dingnan. Those black gangsters in the Hexi Corridor can be given to them, but they must be taken back. , They are not allowed to take the opportunity to expand their territory.

Third, try to favor the Guiyi Army and help them as much as possible. Even those tribes with a relatively high degree of Sinicization in Hexi Tubo can be distributed to them, because firstly, they are the sworn enemies of Shazhou Uighurs, and secondly, they are Han Chinese. .Don't say nonsense that people who are not of our race must have different hearts. Everyone has the same language and the same race. At least Da Song is not afraid of them becoming bigger.

After Zhao Guangmei heard this, she also grasped the point very cleverly, and said: Don't worry, I will take good care of my younger siblings, keep the little white faces far away, and try to keep them from seeing each other.

Seeing that he understood so well, Sun Yue felt relieved, and hurried back to Qinzhou with dozens of guards.

After such a delay in the northwest, the time has entered October, and there are only less than two months left before the start of the historical war against Shu. The horses on the Guanzhong Plain felt golden and wheat everywhere. It has almost been collected, and the attack on Shu is about to enter the substantive stage.

During the past few months, Meng Chang also did a particularly careless thing. He actually sent someone to send a letter to the Northern Han Dynasty, intending to join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to attack the Central Plains.

As a result, the younger brother he sent to deliver the letter may be more knowledgeable about current affairs, so he went directly to Kaifeng and gave the letter to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhou is a feud of blood and blood, but it has nothing to do with me. What do you guys mean? If you want the world, roll down from Taihang Mountain and fight Lao Tzu to the death.

Beihan wrote back: Don't, don't, brother, we were wrong, please don't hit me.

Zhao Kuangyin is beautiful, so he has the title of Xidisu.

This is considered to be the mobilization of the war machine. As early as April, the internal treasury was used to recruit thousands of soldiers from various armies, and they trained sailors outside Zhu Ming's gate. He began to move to Jiangling City. Liu Guangyi, one of the ten brothers of his Yishe, who is currently the commander of the guard Ma Jundu, was appointed as the deputy capital of Guizhou Road. Cao Bin was the supervisor of the army, commanding [-] troops, and planned to attack from the waterway Support Wang Quanbin.

For Fengzhou, more attention was paid to it. Cui Yanjin, the commander of the guard infantry, was sent to deploy as the deputy capital, and Wang Renzhan, the deputy privy envoy, was the supervisor of the army.

You must know that there is no one in the Song Dynasty to check at this time, that is to say, among the three commanders of the Forbidden Army, except Han Chongyun, the palace commander, the step commander and the cavalry commander are all sent here, and they are all under the control of Wang Quanbin. .

However, the troops were indeed not many. Cui Yanjin and Liu Guangyi each brought [-] forbidden soldiers, and Wang Quanbin's Zhongwu Army itself had [-] troops.

As for the military strength of Houshu, it is conservatively estimated that it should be more than 3. There is also the Jianmen Pass, which is said to be one man's gate, and ten thousand men can't open it. Back then, Jiang Wei entrusted Zhonghui's more than [-] troops with only [-] men. Desperate to immortality, now with [-] versus [-], to be honest, it's really a little less.

But Zhao Kuangyin had no choice. He didn't dare to send more people. Who knows how long this battle will take? When he was enjoying the fight, Khitan gave him a stick with his head covering his face, and his soldiers couldn't get out, and his old nest Kaifeng might have to be lost.

It was precisely because of this that when Hou Shu heard the news, their first reaction was not fear, but excitement. The emperor Meng Chang and the privy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan were short of celebrating with fireworks.

As I said before, Meng Chang has always been dissatisfied. His pro-army is called Po Chai Jun, Chai Rong's Chai, and his privy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan is even more weird. He compares himself with Zhuge Liang and clamors all day long. He also wants to go out of Qishan to attack the Central Plains in the north, and compete with the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he has not been able to fulfill his wish and prove himself, and now the Song Army has come to die on its own initiative. Isn't it God helping me?

Meng Chang appointed him as the commander of the southwestern camp. After drinking too much, he said: "My trip is more than defeating the enemy. I will lead these [-] to [-] evil boys with carved faces, and take the Central Plains as if they were palms."

This is so crazy, 3 or [-] people will take the Central Plains.

At the same time, Wang Quanbin also uttered harsh words, "If Sichuan and Shu are in the sky, they will not be able to reach them, but if they are on the ground, they will be leveled off."

These overall situations have nothing to do with him. After all, the lineup sent by Zhao Kuangyin seems to be too strong. Even Cao Bin can only serve as the supervisor of the partial division. He must have no say. But a particularly strange order... Making him frown.

According to the order, Sun Yue, the governor of Qinzhou, was brought under the control of Lu Duoxun, the transshipment envoy of the southwest.
