Tiandu Mountain was Yuan Hao's advance base for attacking the Song Dynasty. It is also where the palace tent of this soldier of Dabai Gao Kingdom is now.
At this moment, this soldier of the Dabai Gao Kingdom was standing in front of a map, looking at the target and prey he had determined for this trip - the fattest state along the Song Dynasty - the seat of Qinzhou's Chengji County
The place.
"Qinzhou controls Bashu in the south and Qingtang and Yinxia in the west. If we can attack it, we will definitely break the alliance between Song Ting and Tubo!" Yuan Hao still has a strong sense of strategy. At least among the party members, he is the kind of person who stands out from the crowd.
, almost has a vision and knowledge that far exceeds that of his nation, especially in terms of geopolitical governance and military aspects. Yuan Hao's strategic awareness, even in the contemporary earth, is not matched by many people. He is slightly
Staring at the blurry, rough map in front of him, with only some mountains, rivers and city names, his mind appeared in his mind a more three-dimensional and vivid image of mountains, rivers, roads and cities than the map in front of him: "It can also be reversed.
During the Qing and Tang Dynasties, Tubo was separated from the Song court, forcing Jiao Siluo to become a minister!"
"It can also threaten the security of Bashu in Song Dynasty and look down at the Weinan Plain!"
There are so many benefits, so why did Yuan Hao never choose this place as a breakthrough before, preferring to go to Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road and go head-to-head with Song Ting's main force?
"It's a pity..." Yuan Hao sighed deeply: "Qinzhou has a wide terrain and is located behind the Jingyuan Road. If a lonely army goes deep, it will inevitably be cut off by Song Ting's army coming from the Jingyuan Road...
"
This is determined by the geography of Qinzhou.
This hometown of the flying general Li Guang was famous for being suitable for animal husbandry a thousand years ago, and it is still the most important pasture of Song Dynasty a thousand years later.
The open terrain is especially suitable for Song Ting's large regiments to fight, but it is not conducive to the deployment of Yuan Hao's small but elite troops.
Moreover, if you want to invade Qinzhou from the northwest, there have been only two ways since ancient times.
The first is to attack Song Ting's important local town Luoshui City from the southwest of Yizhou in the east of Qinzhou, from east to west. Only by taking Luoshui City can the key to Qinzhou be opened.
The other road is the old road used by the Tubo invaders in the old years. It starts from Shimen Gorge in the west of Qinzhou, takes Sandukou, passes through Anyuan Village and Fuqiang Village, and attacks Qinzhou City.
As long as Yuan Hao still has sense, he will never choose this old path that the Tubo people took when they invaded.
Not only because the terrain here is difficult, there are many forts, and the defenses are tight.
What's more, now, above this direction, standing down from a high position is the Qing Tang Tubo Zanpu.
As long as Jiao Siluo has the opportunity, he will never let go of the possibility of stabbing Yuan Hao in the back.
Therefore, Yuan Hao could only attack from the southwest of Yizhou, attack Luoshui City, and then quickly go south to Chengji. Before the main force of the Song Dynasty could react, he could break through Chengji and take away the prisoners and looted goods.
If no one is on the flank to check, Yuan Hao will only have ten days at most, even if everything goes well.
"So..." Yuan Hao looked at General Yeli Rongren who was kneeling in front of him: "Rongren, you must hold Ge Huaimin and Ren Fu of Song Ting on Jingyuan Road for at least ten days!"
"And Yu Qi, if you attack Linzhou's army from the flank, you must drag Song Ting's Huanqing Road and Yongxing Army's troops in Linzhou for at least twenty days!"
After hearing this, the two brothers of the Yeli family immediately kowtowed and said: "Wuzi, don't worry, even if I die, I won't let any of Song Ting's troops go south to support Qinzhou!"
"Very good!" Yuan Hao's eyes passed over the two brothers and finally rested on his confidant Yang Shousu: "The supplies of Yang Lingli, Rong Ren and Yu Qi will be left to you..."
"You must ensure that there is no chance that the army will be short of supplies!"
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty has completely cleared the country, turning all the land and villages along its front lines and outside the fortress defense lines into ashes.
Yuan Hao's army can no longer rely on fighting to support war as it did in the past.
On the contrary, they still had to face the fortified border cities of the Song Dynasty and endure the harassment of the vassal tribes who were lured by the Song Dynasty's wealth.
The situation is very bad. Every time we attack, we must prepare food and fodder.
This undoubtedly made matters worse for Yuan Hao's Dabai Gaoguo's already weak finances.
However, there is no other way but to bite the bullet and plunder the country's wealth and food to maintain the actions of Yuan Hao's army.
And this naturally caused dissatisfaction among countless people.
Thanks to Yuan Hao's massacre and tyrannical rule over the years, he has laid a solid foundation for rule. Otherwise, he might be unable to attack now and would have to go back and suppress the rebellions of various ministries.
"Don't worry, Wuzu, I am willing to issue a military order. If the army of the two wild kings is short of a grain of rice, Wusu, please take the minister's head to thank the world!" Yang Shousu immediately knelt down and promised.
Although he is Han, he was born and grew up under the rule of Yuan Hao, and his father, son, and grandson have served Yuan Hao's family for three generations.
Therefore, in Yang Shousu's heart, Yuan Hao is his master and object of allegiance.
The Zhao Guan family in Bianjing City is just a stranger.
"Good!" Yuan Hao said happily: "In this way, I can safely lead the army south to attack Qinlong!"
"Your Majesty..." At this time, Yeli Renrong, another minister in Yuan Hao Zhengquan who had been standing by without saying much, said softly: "I heard from the spies that Song Ting sent a new Qin Feng, the general manager of the horse and infantry capital, and
Under the new jurisdiction of Qinzhou, there is also a forbidden army called the 'Grenadier Army' in Qinzhou City..."
"Well..." Compared to Brother Yeli, Yuan Hao is much gentler to this minister who also has the same surname as Yeli, because Yeli Renrong is a civil servant who does not command troops, and now he understands the story of Gaoguo
It was formulated and created under the leadership of this minister named Yeli.
Naturally, the attitude is different.
There is even a bit of a courtesy corporal.
"What did Mo Ningling want to say?" Yuan Hao asked.
"I think your Majesty should be more careful..."
"After all, I heard that Qin Feng, the commander of the cavalry and infantry army surnamed Gao, and Qiao Jia, surnamed Liu, both have a good background..."
"I know..." Yuan Hao nodded: "One is a military minister who became a civil servant..."
"One is a relative..."
The Yuanhao family had been dealing with the ministers of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. In their impression, there were two kinds of people in the Song Dynasty who were very difficult to deal with.
One type is a military minister who became a civil servant. Zhong Shiheng of Qingjian City is such a tough guy.
They are powerful and know how to fight. They don't have the childishness and innocence of other civil servants, nor the boldness and greed of military officials. They are the most difficult opponents.
The other one is a maternal relative.
At that time, Cao Wei, the general of the Song Dynasty who once sat in Qinzhou and suppressed the entire northwest for more than ten years, was such a figure.
"But..." Yuan Hao smiled ferociously: "What do children of this generation mean to me?"
"Even if Cao Wei is resurrected, I will tear off his head!"
"What's more, these two slutty kids are so inexperienced!"
"Wuzu Shenwu!" Wu Zang Chong, who was waiting on the side, immediately flattered him: "With Wuzu's Shenwu and his prowess, two Song ministers can easily be captured!"
Yuan Hao was very happy and satisfied after hearing this.
"But……"
Yeli Renrong sighed and stepped forward: "I heard that the relationship between these two people is quite big..."
"I know..." Yuan Hao sneered: "That minister of the emperor's heir in the Song Dynasty..."
"I heard that they also brought a vaccination method and wanted to vaccinate Qinzhou in order to win over the vassals up and down Qinzhou..."
"but……"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Yuan Hao smiled ferociously: "People in the Song Dynasty just liked to brag..."
"How was Liu Ping back then? He boasted that he was invincible, but in the end, he was taken back to Xingqing Mansion and chopped into pieces in front of everyone, wasn't he?"
"I'm very curious..."
"If those named Gao and Liu fall into my hands..."
"Are their bones harder than that Liu Ping's?"
Last year, Liu Ping and Shi Xingsun of the Song Dynasty were captured by him at Sanchuankou. After being brought back to Xingqing Mansion, they could not be induced to surrender. Therefore, Yuan Hao had these two people executed late in the vegetable market of Xingqing Mansion.
They were two tough men. They were chopped up alive by his executioners, but they didn't even ask for mercy.
Yuan Hao was really excited to see it.
He just likes to see such a tough guy bleed to death in front of him!
