Zhong Shizhong reminded: "After the Navy defeated the three major military departments in a row, he still had to attack Xingqing Prefecture. Zhao Laohu wanted to leave some spare energy. He was worried that the four major military departments would return to the rescue and consume his ammunition, making him unable to break Xingqing Prefecture, so the children said: If you are not careful, you will destroy Hetao."

Zhe Keshi pointed at the river and added: "Yes, if the navy has the spare strength to break the three major military departments in a row, it will inevitably require a huge fleet. This fleet can only launch an attack when the river is most prosperous in spring. In this case, Zhao Li people will have the upper hand. Once the attack is not successful, as long as the fleet turns around and goes down the surging river, how can the Xia people do anything to him? That's why he said: If the attack fails, the Hetao will be destroyed."

Zhong Shizhong was excited by this collision of thoughts. He was filled with thoughts: "That's right, the five routes attacked Xia. Although the tasks undertaken by the navy were heavy, they had enough to protect themselves. Zhao Liren's powerful gunship was not something that the Xixia people could resist. He could only break through the obstacles of the three major military departments and pass through the shallow waters to conquer Xingqing Prefecture. Once Xingqing Prefecture is captured, the retreat of the four major military departments will be cut off, and then the navy will revitalize the entire game: if you attack south and cooperate with the other routes to wipe out the four major military departments, half of the military forces of Xixia have been destroyed. At this moment, Hetao is in hand, and Xixia is just an old dog that is breathing in lingering.

But if he continues to attack north, then…”

"Miscellaneous, it's simply a wonderful move!" Zhe Keshi kept slamming high and exclaiming: "I need to attack north. He just needs to go south and respond to the other four groups of troops entering Hetao. Even if the Xixia people fled north and entered the vast desert sea, Xixia without Hetao could make a big wave. Without Zhao Liren continuing to take action, you and I took all the battle against the Ministry of Works!

Haha, we were in Fuyan and felt the convenience of water transportation. We didn’t even think of using water to attack Xia. The people of Xixia even had few fishing boats, so how could we think we could attack against the river? The key problem now is Dongshengzhou. As long as we handle Dongshengzhou, the three major military departments seem to be powerful, but if Zhao Liren presided over it, it would be no problem for the navy to break through their obstacles. What kind of obstacles do you think they can use? Use war horses to intercept the cannons in the middle of the river?"

Zhong Shizhong praised: "Guo Guangsheng is well-read military books and is the general I like the most. No wonder he can't even think of a solution... He has trained in Hangzhou. Since Hangzhou officials proposed to attack Xia by water, with his carefulness, he must have personally checked the power of the gunship. There will be no mistakes. I heard that Zhao Liren once boasted in Yangzhou that his navy was invincible in the world. Since he dared to make a promise, with so many conveniences, these five attacks on Xia will definitely succeed... But, with such a wonderful strategy, why didn't he mention the Privy Council?"

Zhe Keshi was stunned for a moment. After a moment of contemplation, he immediately understood: "I heard that Zhao Liren hates the big mouth of the Privy Council. The Liao and Xixia people all had envoys in the capital, but the people in the Privy Council were not cautious in speaking. A tile house in the capital could get a memorial to the court, which made Zhao Liren very unhappy, so he lowered the musket design drawings and refused to give them to the court. At present, the court could only purchase them from the Guangnan Ordnance Bureau. Fortunately, he agreed to the court to assign officials from the Guangnan Ordnance Bureau, so the court was willing to give up.

I guess this time he took advantage of the opportunity to train and secretly revealed this plan to all parties involved - Qin Fenglu's manager Liu Zhongwu went twice, and maybe he also received some mission... In the winter offensive, when did Liu Zhongwu become so bold?"

Zhong Shizhong looked up at the sky and laughed happily: "My emperor Song and Xixia have been fighting with each other for more than a hundred years. As soon as this plan was proposed, dark clouds in the sky drifted away. From then on, our emperor Song had a plan to destroy the country against Xixia. The following is to actively prepare...Zhe Dian General, you report to the court and ask our Fuyan Road to transfer three armies to Hangzhou next year."

Zhe Keshi smiled and replied: "I have to find a reason..."

Zhe Keshi said this because he knew Zhao Xing's temper and the attitude of the court. Zhao Xing's reorganization of the imperial army was never free. The expenses were always deducted from the imperial taxes. Therefore, if Shaanxi brazenly proposed to transfer the army to Hangzhou to move Rong, the court would inevitably worry that the soldiers sent by Yongxing Junlu would squeeze the share of the imperial court. If such a memorial was handed over, it would definitely not be approved.

In addition, although Xixia signed a truce treaty with the Song Dynasty, the Xixia people never abide by the promised national tradition. They signed the truce agreement as follows and routine invasions were carried out as usual. However, after the agreement was signed, the scale of the invasion was much smaller than before. In this case of constant wars, Shaanxi suddenly stated that it would draw some troops to Hangzhou for training. The court inevitably had to speculate whether there was something hidden in it, and perhaps there was any collusion between the two sides.

Mr. Zhong disagreed and waved his hand: "This reason made Zhao Liren think about it, and you and I just want to make the request."

Zhe Keshi said in contemplation: "Go and send him a letter first..."

As he was talking, Zhe Keshi saw Zhe Kebao walk into the sand table room with a look of surprise. He stopped the topic and asked, "Why are you panic?"

Zhe Kebao bowed and replied: "Strangely, a Tatar tribe suddenly submitted an application for entry... The Tatars have always regarded plunder as a fashion. It is rare to be so polite? It is difficult to be so ruled, which is surprising."

The Tatars' application for entry was written on a parchment scroll. Master Zhong reached out to take it and read it. As soon as the file was unfolded, he exclaimed in surprise: "It turned out to be a document written by Song Yu? When did the Tatars know how to write documents in Song Yu?"

After reading the document, Mr. Zhong said nothing and handed the document to Zhe Keshi with his backhand. Zhe Keshi unfolded the document. After reading it carefully, he put together the document in shock and said, "It's abnormal, it's too abnormal. This Tatars said it was Mogus' old subordinate. I remember Mogus had been executed in the Liao Kingdom, so why can the old subordinates still exist in other places.

It's suspicious. They actually said that they accepted the invitation from Qin Fenglu and requested to enter the country from our Fuyan Road to Qin Fenglu to assist in the fight against Liu Zhongwu. It's too suspicious. Tribal migration is usually in spring, but now it's winter. They privately invite the Tatars into the country - Liu Zhongwu is a cowardly person, otherwise he wouldn't have been left to Gao Yongnian to blindly command, resulting in the defeat of Huaidong. Now he dares to summon foreigners to enter the country without going through the Privy Council, which is suspicious!

The Tatars made a living by looting and letting them enter the country. The court knew how to prevent this along the way..."

Zhuang Shizhong suddenly interrupted Jie Keshi's words: "Let them submit relevant certificates and tell them. As long as the documents are complete, they will agree to pass through the state."

Zhe Keshi looked at Master Zhong in shock. Master Zhong smiled faintly and explained: "You just said 'abnormal'. If something goes wrong, you will be a monster. You and I know who this number one demon is.

I was wondering just now, how could Liu Zhongwu suddenly make a decision. He went to Qinfeng Road by twice the way, and now he understood that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not resistant to bitterness and coldness, but the old subordinates of Mogus were tenacious and resistant to war. They were pursued by the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, and had nowhere to survive. They could have a foothold, which was worthy of the whole clan's life. This was Liu Zhongwu's main force.

That's right. Tribal migration is usually spring, but letting the Tatars enter the country in winter has an advantage. In winter, it is cold and covered with heavy snow. The Tatars have no choice but to follow the supply route we provide. And these Tatars are desperate and can only take the risk of moving in winter. This kind of thing is only Zhao Liren dares to do."

Zhe Keshi was stunned and immediately stood up: "Tartars, this group of people should be wandering in Dongshengzhou, entering the Song Dynasty from Dongshengzhou, and the nearest road should be the volcanic army... Zhao Li people have already launched, and this group of Tatars must have broken into Xixia from Dongshengzhou, and then risked thousands of difficulties to enter the border of Fuyan Road! Let's go and take a look."

There were not many Tatars in this group, with a total of only more than 5,000 people. The leading one was one thousand cavalry. The Zong Division looked up and down and found that the equipment of these thousand cavalry was very simple. Most people only had one bow in their hands, and only a few dozen arrows were inserted in the sword pot. From the production of the arrow feathers, it can be determined that the arrows of this kind of arrow must be made of bone.

In the cold winter, this group of people wore thick sheepskins. Many of them were not treated. They even had oil on top and bottom. They wore heavy hoods, with only two eyes exposed outside. The hoods were covered with white frost.

Zhe Keshi looked at their faces one by one, and he whispered: "It's true that there is a dead end. There are actually many strong women among the thousand cavalrymen, and even children are brought to battle, which means that this tribe has reached the end."

The leader of the Tatar cavalry was quietly waiting for the Lieutenant Zong to finish the survey. When the Lieutenant Zong stared at him, he urged his horse to go forward and whispered a vassal speech. The Lieutenant Zong shook his head gently to express his confusion. The leader of the cavalry called a child in the team. This child was not young, and he looked more than ten years old and was dressed very gorgeously, but his face turned blue in the cold north wind. He urged his horse to move forward, his lips trembling, and he spoke in Song Yu.

"A few years ago, our clan rescued a caravan on the grassland, which was the greatest luck of our clan, because this caravan belonged to the land of Lord Zhao, the Huanqing General. Another year, our clan attacked Xixia and happened to cooperate with Lord Zhao, the attack of Lord Zhao, the Huanqing General. Afterwards, a caravan found us and made an agreement.

Several years have passed, and our clan thought that this agreement had been forgotten, but not long ago, a caravan found us and asked us to live in the beautiful places of Qingtang water and grass. After discussion, the elders of our clan fulfilled this agreement, so they specially applied to enter the country from Fuyan Road according to the route prescribed by Lord Zhao."

Mr. Zhong shook his head gently: "Down on the Break, are you still able to fulfill your agreement?"

The Zhong Shizhong did not ask what the agreement was, because Zhao Xing made a private appointment with the foreign race behind the court. With his prudence, he could not leave evidence, so he asked the Tatars to provide proof, which was just a matter of empty words. He guessed that this tribe that was desperate wanted to go to Qingtang to fight desperately, intending to exchange their blood for a place to live in the future, but the tribe is not in good condition now, so he said that the other party was unable to fulfill its promise.

The child smiled and replied: "Zhong Jingluo was not clear about the content of this agreement. The agreement was: the Tatar tribe established a tribe leader of the tribe who knew Song language and obeyed the orders of this leader. Lord Zhao was responsible for providing a piece of Muyuan with abundant water and grass. His mother was a Song man, who belonged to the forty-third concubine of the former king. She received education in the Central Plains since she was a child. She also wrote the document of entering the pass just now. Now I am the lord of this tribe."

Zhong Shizhong was stunned, but he immediately stretched out his hand: "Welcome to return to his hometown!"

The child shrugged: "Homeland, this is the land where my mother lives, but not my hometown. I have heard my mother describe the beauty of this land since I was a child, but today I have set foot on it for the first time."

Master Zhong nodded slightly, and asked: "There must be a certificate. You must have a certificate when you just said something."

The child smiled softly: "We were a little anxious. We agreed to arrive in Fuyan on November 16th, and someone would welcome us later. We were three days in advance, but we were thirsty and tired. We were willing to stay at the border for three more days. We only hope that you provide some crossbows so that we can defend ourselves."

Mr. Zhong understood, and he nodded and admired: "Your mother must be a lady from an official family. She is great and amazing. I am eager to see you!"

The child smiled bitterly: "My mother was robbed. She was not withstand the hunger and cold of the grassland. She died shortly after giving birth to me. Only signs of her childhood were left in my heart..."

Zhong Shizhong nodded: "I believe you also know that your entry must be approved by the Privy Council, and I do not know what you said about the welcome team. However, for the sake of you being a descendant of the Song people, I allow you to enter the military camp in the city to cultivate and rest, and wait for the permission of the Privy Council."

When Zhong Shizhong spoke, naturally some soldiers led them to the city to station. After these tribes left, the officers from Hangzhou trained and returned to the scene and gathered to watch. Guo Guangsheng stepped forward with a thoughtful expression and reminded: "On the 16th, this is the day when the Hangzhou Material Horse Team arrived. When I left Hangzhou, I wondered, the horse team transportation was just a common thing, why did Luqiuguan have to go on his own?"

Zhong Shizhong glanced at Guo Guangsheng, and Zhe Keshi opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Zhe Kebao explained first: "Luqiuguan is a secret spy from the Military Information Department of the Nanyang Yamen. It is said that he is in charge of northern affairs. I guess he is mainly responsible for secret discs on the Xixia side."

Mr. Zhong was silent. Fell Keshi's lips moved, and he also kept silent as Mr. Zhong was like Mr. Zhong. Guo Guangsheng explained lightly: "The Grand Tutor once told Liu Zhongwu in Hangzhou that in the Qing Tang Dynasty, one chicken rose and one chicken cried, and the court did not suppress it very much. The long-term governance of Chang'an was to establish a new tribe, a tribe that was pro-Song, and this tribe would preferably be moved from elsewhere. Only in this way can this new tribe rely solely on the Song Dynasty. Within thirty or fifty years, they could only gain a foothold in the Qing Tang Dynasty by shepherding horses for the Song Dynasty.

When Liu Zhongwu was in the General Staff Headquarters just now, he regarded this issue as a topic and invited officers from the General Staff Headquarters to discuss it, but he no longer asked about it since then. I thought he had already had a problem with it."
