Chapter 1199 The oriole is behind (two updates and one update together)

It took only ten days for the frontline gold medal to be delivered, but Cai Bian's city map was already delivered to the officials in the capital.

After reviewing the city map, the emperor and the officials of the two governments were full of surprises.

The Song army unexpectedly entered and built Zhenwu Army City, but Dangxiang didn't react at all. He actually sat back and watched the Song army easily build the city at the key point where the two countries were fighting.

Have the party kings and ministers collectively lost their minds?

This was equivalent to a great victory for the Song Army in vain, and captured nearly a hundred miles of Dangxiang territory. The straight-line distance between the Song Army and Liangzhou was greatly shortened.

This unexpected surprise made everyone from the emperor down overjoyed. It was only one step away from capturing Liangzhou.

Recovering the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties and reconnecting with the Western Regions seems to be just around the corner.

Just take this last step forward.

Liangzhou Liangzhou, is this where the resurgence of the Song Dynasty lies?

However, it is different from the officials who are overjoyed and complacent.

Zhang Yue looked at the city map, but his face was almost twitching.

Originally, he only wanted Cai Bian to build one fortress, but he actually built three for himself.

The cost was as much as half a million dollars.

Zhang Yue felt dizzy for a while. He turned his sword inward and asked Cai Bian, Sun Lu, and Fan Yu to rectify the corruption problem on Xihe Road, but they only managed to collect less than a million dollars.

Cai Bian actually spent half of it on himself in one go.

How can Prime Minister Zhang Yue continue to spend so much money? Where will he find money to fill your hole?

It's not your money that's spent anyway, right?

Nowadays, with the exception of Hebei and Shaanxi Province, all the armor protection methods have abolished the previous system and changed the armor protection system to the archer system. The local governments call on volunteers to train the archers. This does not save much money.

This Cai Bian has absolutely no financial discipline at all.

Zhang Yue said seriously: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Cai Bian did a great job in this matter. Judging from the city map, this is a complete formation and the situation is fully occupied."

"Even if the party's hundreds of thousands of troops come to attack, we can still defend it."

It's just that this style of play is too expensive. Zhang Yueshi couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

The official said: "It was Qing's strategy to attack shallowly and advance into the building. Cai Bian was able to achieve this feat only because of Qing's planning."

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly upon hearing this, forget it, it's here. It's a crucial battle to seize Liangzhou. No matter how big the investment is, it is worth it, and we must not fall short.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

Zeng Xiaokuan, who had finished Ding You's return to the court and was appointed deputy privy envoy, had a glimpse of the emperor's intentions and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Zhenwu Army City has been built, it is time to take advantage of the situation and capture Liangzhou!"

"Your Majesty, this is not possible at the moment!" Zhang Yue said.

Feng Jing, who was watching the fire with insight, asked: "Advance quickly and quickly. Since Dang Xiang has figured out our army's intention to attack Liangzhou, we cannot hold on for long."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has repeatedly said that it will attack Liangzhou, but in the end it has been delayed. Don't you know that time has not waited for us!"

Zhang Yue knew that Feng Jing was trying to cash in on him.

The Battle of Liangzhou stalled repeatedly, which made people feel slow. Rather than strategy, decision-making was more important.

Zhang Yue pointed at the map and said: "Your Majesty, I am really surprised that Dang Xiang has not moved yet. Without knowing Dang Xiang's intention, we must not attack Liangzhou with our entire army. We must first understand Dang Xiang's intention before we can attack Liangzhou!"

"

The official asked: "What's the plan?"

Zhang Yue swiped his finger upwards from the map and pointed at a place on the map called 'Rendouquan City'.

…

Within a few years, Ali's bones crossed the three prefectures of Sha, Gua, and Ganzhou, and he defeated the Ganzhou and Gansu Military Supervision Departments and the Guazhou and Xiping Military Supervision Departments.

Now Ali Gu is in the big tent and receives the Song envoy Tong Guan.

Ali Gu immediately set up a banquet, roasted a big lamb, and asked a dozen orchids to sing and dance under the tent. Tong Guan's entourage also served them with good wine and meat.

Ali Gu looked at Tong Guan and laughed and said: "Tong Zouma has been here for many years, and his face has become red. He looks more like us Qingtang people."

Tong Guan smiled and said: "Tong has followed the local customs, and today I have been ordered by the emperor to pay homage to the Jiedushi! I will give you a generous gift."

After Tong Guan ordered the person to present the gift list, Ali Gu was overjoyed after looking at the gift list, but there was not much expression on his face and he said: "Such a generous gift, I am afraid that if I am not the emperor, what will I, Ali Gu, do?"

"I know that Jiedushi is good at teaching, so I don't mean to cause any trouble. I just heard that Jiedushi seems to want to take Renduoquan City, so I came to ask?"

Ali Gu asked: "What's the matter? My uncle, the Emperor, also had this intention?"

Tong Guandao: "That's right. If Jiedushi doesn't take it, we will take it."

Ali said: "As promised at the beginning, since I swept through Guazhou and Shazhou, you Han people will take Liangzhou on the right road."

Tong Guandao: "Renduoquan City is the place where the Renduo clan started. I'm afraid it's not easy to get there. Our strategic envoys are worried that Jiedushi will not be able to attack it, so we want to take it ourselves."

Ali Gu laughed when he heard this and said, "You don't have to worry about this."

After Tong Guan stood up and left, Ali Gu summoned his subordinates to discuss the situation.

When he heard that Renduoquan City was being taken, a chieftain objected: "Rendouquan City is guarded by the Renduoquan City's trusted veterans. Let's not go against them."

Ali Gu scolded: "The people of the Song Dynasty are now building the ancient bone dragon city, and they clearly have the intention of taking Liangzhou from the north."

"Now that the Song Dynasty is strong and the party is weak, we should take advantage of the situation and take Renduoquan City, and then take Sha, Gua, Gan, and Yishu Prefectures. This way we will have the foundation for independence."

"We, as men, have ambitions to reach the top of the clouds, so how can we stand so low under other people's roofs?"

Ali Gu stood up, and the chiefs on the left and right were in awe of his momentum. In fact, many of the leaders of the Qingtang tribe who followed Ali Gu from Bianjing had lost their foothold.

Enterprising spirit.

Only Ali Gu remained tireless and committed to a great cause from beginning to end.

After saying this, Ali Gu led his army to gather troops and march north.

Aligu was quite ambitious. He had been victorious since he raised his army. Now he divided the Tatar and Uighur troops into five armies and stationed them north of Qinghai.

When he conquered Shazhou, Guazhou, and Ganzhou, he also took in the Xizhou Uighurs. Some of the Ganzhou Uighurs took refuge, and they were divided into three armies and stationed in Guazhou and Shazhou. Now he can be said to have a strong army.

When Aligu led the Eighth Army and arrived at Renduoquan City, he saw the towering peaks in the north. The tops of the mountains were covered with snow all year round. The mountains nearby were undulating, and the snow water melting below the mountains merged into the Haomen River.

Renduoquan City is located in this river valley.

Ali Gu looked at the mountains and ridges, and held a horsewhip to the left and right chieftains: "With such mountains and rivers, we are the only ones who worry that the Han people will compete with us for this land? They usually only farm in the plains under the mountains. If they want to live in peace, they have to please us."

All the canals of the chieftains are called "yes".

Ali Gu has been in Bianjing for many years, and he has worked very hard to study Chinese Sinology. Now he has several Han counselors around him. The Han counselors told him that with the national strength of the Han people, they can only maintain the Liangzhou line from west to north, and then go further.

Going west to north is very difficult.

After resting for a day, the army set off the next day, and there was heavy fog.

Ali Gu was riding on his horse when he suddenly heard the sound of arrows piercing the air in the heavy fog.

Ali Gu, who had many years of experience in the army, immediately turned over and dismounted. A moment later, his horse was hit by several arrows and fell to death.

Immediately, there were shouts of killing, and hundreds of horses jumped out of the fog, running and shooting with bows and arrows in hand. After entering, they changed their swords and guns.

Aligu's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses marched through the mountains and rivers, but they were divided into eight armies. They did not expect that the Renduo people dared to come out of the city to attack, nor did they expect that they would bypass the forwards and did not attack the rear troops, but went straight to

The Chinese army where Ali Gu is located comes.

There are only a few hundred members of the Rendo tribe, but they are unstoppable under a surprise attack.

In the heavy fog, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly, as well as people talking and cursing each other.

Ali Gu's soldiers and horses were in chaos, and were attacked by elites. They were completely in disarray. Many of Ren Duo's troops who attacked were all wearing armor, but Ali Gu's men were only wearing furs, and even if they had armor, they had no time to put it on.

This is simply a one-sided massacre.

However, Ali Gu was not afraid in the face of danger and put on armor while being served by his left and right people. While he was wearing armor, he also used a heavy ax to smash the head of a Rendo warrior.

Ali Gu put on his armor, changed his horse and came out holding a gold-wrapped Tibetan spear.

In the thick fog, Ali bone spears stabbed several people, overthrowing several Renduo tribe warriors. Finally, under his leadership, he repelled the Renduo tribe's ambush.

But Ali Gu was furious when he saw that he was seriously injured.

The next day, Aligu led his army to the gates of Renduoquan City and surrounded the city.

…

Liangzhou City.

Renduoyading, a famous party general and commander of the army on the right wing, looked solemn when he heard that Aligu led the army to surround Renduoquan City.

Although Liang Yibu's appointment as prime minister meant that the Liang family regained control of the military, the leader of the country, Li Bingchang, was extremely wary of guarding against him.

He still reused Renduoyading and his son to balance the military power of the Liang family. He also appointed Renduochuqing, the younger brother of Renduoyading, as the censor Zhongcheng, giving the Renduo family an additional foundation in the court.

When he learned that the ancient bone dragon city (Zhenwu Army City) was built in the Song Dynasty, Ren Duoyading sneered.

He knew the situation here. Ancient Bone Dragon City (Yongdeng County) was far away from Lanzhou and Miaochuan City, and it was very difficult to repair it with the power of Xihe Road in the Song Dynasty.
