The first thousand five hundred and sixty-ninth chapters
Since Zhao Kai was preparing to negotiate peace with Tubo at the very beginning of the Yanyun crisis, he wanted to stabilize them first and stop them from causing trouble. Therefore, in order to avoid conflict with Tubo, Wu Jie led the Zhenxi Army along the east bank of the Yalong River.
That is to say, if we get closer to Chengdu and go around to the Hehuang area, avoiding you and walking across the river from you, we won't get into trouble.$().(w)(x).()
Unexpectedly, halfway through, the envoys sent by Zhao Kai to negotiate were on the road, but they were recalled again. With the crisis in the north temporarily suspended, how could Zhao Kai tolerate Tubo jumping up and down in his face?
Baili hurriedly ordered the Zhenxi Army to attack Tubo. In addition, he dispatched the Zhennan Army to cooperate with the Zhenxi Army in the expedition against Tubo.
At this time, the Zhenxi Army had almost reached the end of the Yalong River. As soon as the imperial order came, Wu Jie quickly ordered the army to stop.
In Wu Jie's big tent.
All the soldiers were sitting in the tent together. Compared with the previous days, today they all looked happy.
Wu Jie saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything, but he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart. He thought to himself, it seems that these Jin soldiers have an innate advantage over us! This is obvious. When these soldiers heard that the Jin army had withdrawn
In Yunzhou, you can eat a few more bowls of rice, which shows that the Song army is still relatively weak, even though it won a great victory.
However, Wu Jie didn't say anything. After all, this confidence could not be solved by just one sentence. He went straight to the topic and said: "Now the emperor has personally issued an order for our Suppressing Western Army to go out to conquer Tubo."
Zhang Xian said: "When generals Wu and Yue come up with the Zhennan Army, we will inevitably attack each other from the north and the south."
Wu Jie shook his head and said: "If we wait for Wu Lin and the others, it will take some time. The opportunity to fight is fleeting, but if it is too late, things will change."
Zhao Yanqin opened his mouth and said, "Does the general want to defeat the Tibetan coalition on his own?"
Wu Jie nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I meant. I said at the beginning that if the Jin army hadn't invaded, I would have eaten this piece of fat long ago. Fortunately, it's not too late now."
A group of soldiers were surprised and speechless. Although Wu Jie had mentioned it before, they didn't pay attention. They thought Wu Jie was boosting morale and making excuses for their retreat. They didn't expect Wu Jie to be very serious.
Zhao Yanqin said: "But there is a difference of hundreds of thousands of troops between us and the opponent."
Wu Jie smiled indifferently and said confidently: "Although the enemy troops are numerous, they are a bunch of idiots. And judging from the direction of their advance, it can be seen that their plan is not perfect. As soon as our troops withdrew, they were a little confused.
We have to take measures, and the march has become slow. Should we continue to pursue us, or turn to Hehuang? It can be seen that their internal opinions are not unified. Everyone is thinking about their own interests. The art of war is cloudy. When planning an attack, one group
An army without a strategy cannot win a war, and although our army is small, it is full of elites. Moreover, we are united and have a very clear goal.
Although our army chose to retreat at the beginning, there were other reasons, but judging from the current situation, it can be regarded as showing weakness to the enemy. The Tibetan coalition must be complacent and complacent at this time. If our army suddenly attacks, they will definitely gain a big victory.
Complete victory."
What he said is very confident, and this confidence is not only based on military conquests, but the key is hard power. Today's Tubo is no longer the Tubo during Songtsen Gampo's period. Warlords are fighting in a melee, and large and small political powers are
, there are countless tribes, and the civil war consumes a lot of money. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Song Huizong to win consecutive battles against Tubo and recapture the Hehuang area in one fell swoop. Moreover, many of these regimes were pro-Song and did not participate in this
Action, not only that, they also provided information to the Song Dynasty. However, organizing a coalition to fight against the Song Dynasty when no one was unified could even be said to be a taboo among military strategists.
On the other hand, the Zhenxi Army has been stationed in Tubo for more than a year and has adapted to the local climate. Moreover, the Zhenxi Army has no shortage of horses. They are all Tibetan horses. They are hardworking and durable. In terms of weapons, they are far superior to the Tibetan coalition forces. In fact,
The weapons used by the Tibetan allied forces were weapons that had been eliminated by the Song Dynasty a few years ago. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be invincible.
Zhang Xian immediately clasped his fists and said: "General, I would like to be the vanguard."
Seeing how confident the commander was, the other soldiers felt more confident. Most of them had fought with Wu Jie from Dali to Jiaozhi. They admired Wu Jie from the bottom of their hearts and worshiped him like a god. If Wu Jie said he could win, then
No one doubted that we would definitely win, and they all stepped forward to challenge.
"There's no rush."
Wu Jie waved his hand and said: "Get the map."
Soon, a soldier laid the map on the table.
A major general said: "Now the enemy has arrived near Dongnv Kingdom. According to the report from the sentry, the enemy army did not enter Dongnv Kingdom. They stayed for a few days and then turned north. In this alliance, Dongnv Kingdom
The female state was not involved, nor did it have anything to do with the Tibetan coalition. It must have refused to take advantage of the passage. Judging from the enemy's motives, it should be that they want to attack the Hehuang area."
This Eastern Girl Country is also the real version of the Girl Country. It is a country dominated by women. Their kings and ministers are all women, and the men have become slaves. This is the country that Master Li longs for. Of course, the premise is not to let
He went to be a slave.
Wu Jie smiled softly and said: "God is really helping me. If they take the road from Dongnu Country, they will not only be close, but also difficult to be attacked. Now that they have taken a detour, it is a great opportunity for us. I will destroy them in Women
At your feet, Zhang Xian and Zhao Yanqin obey orders."
"The end will be here."
Wu Jie said: "I order you to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack the enemy's upper road."
"The last general takes orders."
"Baimaofeng, Yao Kelong."
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack the enemy's lower road."
"The last general takes orders."
"The rest of the soldiers obey orders."
"The end will be here."
"You and I will attack the enemy's center."
"The last general takes orders."
Wu Jie said as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "All the enemy troops are on the front line, and the rear must be empty." Then he said to the counselor on the side: "Immediately write a letter for me and send it to the Zhennan Army.
Let Yue Fan and Wu Lin lead the Zhennan Army to march directly into the enemy's hinterland to attack."
"yes."
Wu Jie then said to the soldiers: "Everyone, the battle in Dali was just a small test. The main force was the King of Zhennan. Now is the time for us to make contributions. After this battle, our Zhenxi Army will definitely shock the whole country, and
Only by capturing Tubo as soon as possible will the Privy Council allow us to march into the Western Region, where there will be a larger battlefield for us to recruit."
With this sentence, morale immediately soared. Everyone felt that the Tibetan coalition forces had already been killed by this sword, and they all shouted: "March to the Western Regions, march to the Western Regions."
If the Tibetan allied forces heard this, they would faint from tears, which would be very disrespectful.

The crisis in Japan's war situation is slightly beyond Li Qi's expectation. Originally, the Taira clan was already at a disadvantage against the three major Japanese forces, but now they have been severely tricked by the Genji clan. All the Kanto forces have been wiped out by the enemy. The battle situation is
It took a turn for the worse, and as a result, the Taira clan was completely lost in the court. Emperor Toba and the Fujiwara clan completely controlled the situation. Once the Taira clan was destroyed, it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to find a way to exploit the situation.
Therefore, Li Qi did not stay in Yanshan Mansion for long, and set off for Laizhou on the second day after Ji Yan arrived.
Laizhou has always been relatively wealthy because it is close to the sea. It is also within the scope of the economic and cultural center. Although continuous rebellions during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty brought Laizhou into a trough. The people also complained, but since the Jin army went south, Laizhou has ushered in a new era.
Turnaround.
Because when the Jin Army went south, under Li Qi's secret organization, all the people in the north moved to Laizhou and other places, which was later known as the Shandong Peninsula. These people fled with their family wealth, so as soon as they arrived in Laizhou, they immediately promoted Laizhou's economy.
Development, including agriculture and industry, many people have stayed here and have not returned to their hometown.
Moreover, because of Zongze and Zhang Shuye's defense, the entire Tokyo East Road was not eroded by the war. After the war, Laizhou's economy grew by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the prevalence of overseas trade, if it were not for policy reasons, Laizhou's
The economy will definitely not be worse than that of Hangzhou, but it is just because of the imperial court's policy to build Hangzhou into an economic center. After all, Hangzhou's geographical location is good, but Laizhou is still too close to the Jin Kingdom and is not safe.
But apart from Bianliang and Hangzhou, Laizhou has the most developed economy.
When Li Qi came to Laizhou, it was a time of prosperity and prosperity. Although Yanshan Mansion was developing well, the local people were still in the stage of working hard, while the people of Laizhou had already begun to enjoy life. From their
This can be seen in the entertainment industry.
Since Zhao Mingcheng resigned as the prefect of Laizhou, Chen Ping took over. This Chen Ping is Cai Jing's man (for details, please see Chapter 905: The New Generation Godfather), because Laizhou and Dengzhou were battlegrounds for politicians. In fact, at that time
Li Qi also wanted to send his own people there, but he did not have any power at the time. Cai Jing, an old fox, quickly took advantage of the opportunity and arranged for Chen Ping to be appointed as the prefect of Laizhou.
Putting aside everything else, although Chen Ping was not good at fighting, there were veteran generals like Zongze and Zhang Shuye around at the time, so there was no need for him. However, Chen Ping was quite good at economics. After all, he was also the backbone of Xining's reform. Although it failed
Although there is no doubt about his ability, he managed Laizhou very well after the war, which is why Chen Ping has stayed in Laizhou.
In the original political struggle, Zhao Kai originally wanted to know all Cai Jing's party members, and Chen Ping was naturally one of them. However, Zongze and Zhang Shuye submitted memorials one after another, hoping that Zhao Kai would not rush to rectify Laizhou.
, because at that time Laizhou had to be responsible for transferring the people back to their hometown. It was the time to recruit people. If you replaced the top leader at this time, the new person did not understand the situation, and it was difficult to handle the complicated situation at that time.
Only then did Zhao Kai let Chen Ping go. When he came to his senses, Zhao Kai saw that Chen Ping managed Laizhou very well, which made it even more impossible to replace him, so he has stayed here until now.
If Zhao Kai doesn't speak, Li Qi will even less speak. Cai Jing is on the same side as him, and Chen Ping is his now. You must know that Qin Hui is still around, and of course he also wants to control Tokyo East.
Road is a treasure land, but there are Zhang Shuye and Chen Ping there, and Laizhou is the center of overseas trade. The Commerce Bureau has a lot of influence here, although Qin Hui still found every opportunity to make some arrangements.
In the past, people like Dengzhou were mostly under his influence, but they were never able to completely control it.
When Chen Ping heard that Li Qi was coming, he didn't dare to neglect him. Now Li Qi was his support in the court. He led his subordinates to the city gate to greet him in person. The scene was not small.
After entering the city, a banquet was held at the house to welcome Li Qi. Although Laizhou was rich, Zhao Kai did not advocate extravagance and waste. The banquet was not large in scale, but it was full of all kinds of flavors and the food was very delicious.
After they had had enough wine and food, Li Qi asked Chen Ping to go about his own business and there was no need to stay with him here.
After a night's rest, Li Qi got up early before dawn on the second day, and Ma Qiao was already waiting in front of the door.
Li Qi got on the carriage and asked Ma Qiao in a low voice: "Have the arrangements been made?"
Ma Qiao looked unhappy and said: "Don't worry, no one will follow me. If I can't do this little thing, what am I doing in the world?"
"Don't you live in this world just to be beautiful?"
"Well---that's right."
"Depend on!"
The master and servant took advantage of the tranquility of the early morning and quietly came to the foot of a high mountain outside Laizhou City. Li Qi got out of the carriage, looked around cautiously, and then went up the mountain.
In a relatively secluded place halfway up the mountain, Li Qi didn't even have time to take a breath. Suddenly, a man dressed as a woodcutter walked out from behind a big tree. As soon as this man saw Li Qi, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Said: "The little man Wei Ming comes to see you, sir."
"No gift."
Li Qi nodded with a smile, looked up and down, and said hehe, "Isn't your disguise pretty good?" After a pause, he said seriously: "To make a long story short, the plan may have to be advanced. How are you preparing?"
Wei Mingdao: "Please rest assured, sir, everything is ready."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Very good, you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while."
