"Jianxi, please bring all the military and geographical records about Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou!" Zhao Qi looked at it for a long time and turned his head to instruct Jianxi.

"Yes!" Jianxi agreed and knocked on the wall of the carriage twice. The carriage stopped immediately, and the convoy stopped immediately. He got out of the car and came to a car behind, and mopped out the key and drove the car.

He quickly moved a box and asked Xifu to send it to the prince's carriage. He locked the carriage and pulled the lock twice before returning to the carriage. He ordered Chong.

Zhao Xiao opened the box and brought out a volume. The cover was neatly written on the cover. It was divided into eight chapters from the catalog, namely the observation of military use, terrain and geology, meteorology, communication, hygiene, camping and supply maintenance.

, residents and settlements, religion and ideas, as well as a large number of appendices, schedules, pictures and other items. The book has three volumes, each volume is more than two inches thick.

Sun Tzu said: Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Zhao Qi put a lot of effort into this. In order to organize soldiers and locating the local records, he searched through the discussion notes of his predecessors and looked for clues. After the caravan was established, the clerk was sent to them.

Bo, one of the main tasks is to collect information from various places. Later, with the establishment of various restaurants, the information they collected was sent to Zhao Qiong regularly. After analysis, he compiled it into a book. But he had previously

The target is the Liao Kingdom, and Xixia is second, but as things develop, he has to turn his focus to Xixia a year ago. Unfortunately, due to the haste, some things are not complete and need to be replenished continuously!

"Hedong Road is divided into two barbarians. If the head and tail are combined and the internal enemy is invaded, the problem is greater than that of the Hedong Road in the Northern Song Dynasty. The jurisdiction of Hedong Road in the Yellow River is mainly in the Yellow River.

Approximately equivalent to most of today's Shanxi Province

At that time, he served as the Shaanxi Provincial Governor's Pacification Envoy, and the country was preparing for Hedong, and the garrison was in Lin, the government, and the government could not control the thieves. Then who could defend the east of the river? Therefore, Lin, the government was in Lin, and the government was in charge of the government.

And, in the past, it is like the defender of the arm." The book's opening overview quotes a memorial by Chen Zhizhong, the Yuanzhi Yongxing Army, pointing out the important xing of his geographical location.

The geography of Lin, Fu and Fengzhou was extremely important to the Song Dynasty's political affairs. First, in the Song and Xia Wars

It is an important barrier to Songhe East Road, where Beikongsha

Valley danger

The Yellow River takes it

The Great Wall circulates the north, and the land is located upstream, and it is as powerful as the Qin and Jin Dynasties.

The dangers of Guan and Shaanxi are the key.

Secondly, Lin, Fu and Feng areas are suitable for agriculture and herdsmen, especially Linzhou Quyehexi, with lots of fertile land and irrigation of fields. It is the main grain production area of ​​Lin and Fu and the two prefectures. txt e-book download*

*Lin, the prefectures and prefectures recruit people to farm on the spot, and can make up for the border expenses. In addition, good horses are also produced here, which is a place for the import of war horses for the Central Plains political fu, which originally did not produce horses.

That

The Qiang soldiers in northern Shaanxi are brave and good at fighting, "the soldiers outside the river are cowardly and rarely fight. Only the Qian tribes in Hengshan area reach Lin and Yuan in the east, and Yuan in the west,

More than 2,000 miles, the troops were strong and used to fighting. Xia Yuanhao once relied on these foreign soldiers to defeat the Song army repeatedly, and the Song Dynasty also formed the foreign tribes and archers, becoming a part of the Northern Song Dynasty's fight against the Western Xia.

To support the new force. Therefore, to protect Lin, the prefecture area is a major event related to the safety of Hedong Road in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Similarly, Lin, Fu and Feng regions are also very important to Xixia. Xixia has Xia, Sui, Yin, Yu, Jing and so on in northern Shaanxi.

To the northeast is Lin, Fu, Feng

To the south are the Song Dynasty, Fuyan and other roads. If the Western Xia obtains Lin and the two prefectures, it will not only completely eliminate the difficult situation where the Western Xia fights in northern Shaanxi and Fuyan and Lin, but the mansion is attacked from both sides.

It is also of great significance for Xixia to attack Songhe East Road.

Lin, Fu and Feng are west of the three prefectures, Xia Tu in the north, Khitan territory across the northeast, and Songhe East Road across the river to the east. Once the Western Xia seized Lin, Fu and Feng and Feng are stationed in heavy troops, Songhe East

The road and the volcanic army can be used to map, and the river is used as the

Advance and retreat freely. Therefore, since the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, he has been eyeing the Northern Song Dynasty's three prefectures, and is determined to annex it and clear the way to attack Hedong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition, the local products in Western Xia are mostly barley, beans, barley, seedlings, ancient zi vines, alkaline pineapple seedlings, small vegetation, shiji grass, rehmannia leaves, feng tang grass, sand onion, wild leek, and ash-repelling grass, shiji green onion, wild leek, and ash-repelling grass

In the Central Plains, these things are just feed for feeding animals, but these wild vegetables, native to the Western Xia, are the main basis for people's daily life.

From these we can see that the fertile fields that can produce rice and wheat in Xixia are not

The food is not abundant.

The natural environment in Xixia is relatively bad

The only arable land in its territory is Ningxia Plain, Shaanxi and Hexi Corridors

Most of the land in the northeast and northwest is the Gobi desert. Even if there is a "three types of land" in the territory, the spiritual land is

However, grain production cannot meet the needs of people's lives.

The mountains and rivers are surrounded by five or six hundred miles, and are planted by Fan and Han residents, especially the land in the Quye River Basin

It is the main grain-producing area of ​​Linfu area, so in order to obtain farmland, Xixia continued to provoke wars against the border areas of Song Dynasty. The purpose was to seize the cultivated land in the border areas of northern Shaanxi, and Linfu and Fengsanzhou became the three prefectures.

Develop its preferred target.

In order to prevent the invasion of the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty also planned to plan the five states of Yin, Xia, Sui, You and Jing of the Western Xia, and included the urban castle areas of the five states under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. There were a large number of Song Zailin, Fu and Fengsanzhou Village.

The army, Linzhou and Fuzhou alone, stationed more than 18,000 troops, and continued to build forts here.

More troops

We have carried out active attacks and fought countless times here over the past century.

However, those urban areas are very east-south places; the vast desert grassland and forest areas in the north and west of the Five Prefectures were unable to effectively grasp the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Xixia took the opportunity to establish a stable desert area in the northwest

"The Great Rear". However, the Song Dynasty did not have a clear and clear understanding of the Xixia base. In their concept, the northwest desert is a desolate place. Why should the Xixia raise troops to grow?

In fact, although the northwest of Xiazhou is a desert area, it is also a major road to the northern grassland. Many Western Regions business travelers and northern grassland tribes will concentrate on the weak water in this area during a fixed period, and the máo Usu Desert and other places.

Trade. Xixia occupied this place. Although its land itself did not produce anything, the profit of relaying trade was considerable. In addition, the desert area northwest of Xiazhou was vast and lacked food. In addition, the Song army was not familiar with geography, so

The Song army did not dare and could not go deeper. Therefore, the Western Xia used the desert northwest of Xiazhou as its base, and basically had an invincible position in the confrontation with the Song Dynasty.

Lin, Fu and Feng areas have been living in the Dangxiang people since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and were later obtained by the Song Dynasty. Dangxiang is a "small" nation. The Han people have the saying "If you have grudges, you will not be a husband." The Western Xia proverb says: "Eat."

Ten bags of beautiful fruits must also take revenge, and ten nv children are not considered as having a descendant. If you form a bond with others, then this revenge must be avenged. Before the revenge is abolished, they are unkempt and dirty, don’t wear shoes or eat rou

, means that not killing enemies is just a normal life.

But Dangxiang society also has a traditional habit - not taking advantage of others' danger. If the enemy has any evil things, he will stop attacking. If he is weak and cannot take revenge, he will mobilize his family to the enemy to set fire and burn the other party.

The Dangxiang people regard fighting with the NV people as an unlucky sign, so the enemy lets the fire set fire, while the ones themselves must avoid it. The meaning is roughly the same. If the hatred between the two sides can be reconciled, a ceremony must be held:

Ji blood, dog blood, etc. were mixed into the wine, and both parties drank together, and swore: "If you take revenge, there will be no harvest of grain, and the male nv will be bald, the animal will die of epidemic, and the poisonous snake will enter the tent."

When the Song Dynasty was thinking about dominating the five prefectures in Hedong, Xixia was not idle either and was determined to regain its hometown. In the first year of Qingli, Xixia and Northern Song Dynasty had just ended the battle between Haoshuichuan, and Li Yuanhao ordered tens of thousands of troops to launch Lin, Mansion,

Battle of Feng, in this battle, the two prefectures and two prefectures survived the death of the dangerous terrain. Fengzhou is located in the river.

Its northeast is related to the Khitan

Northwest and Western Xia

The terrain was lonely but was captured by Xixia because of its poor rescue. After decades of peace and war, the front line was stabilized at this line, and the Song Dynasty was no longer able to regain Fengzhou City!

In order to own this land, the Song Dynasty government adopted a ruling policy

Add additional officials to local wealthy chiefs

Xu Zhi became the leader of the country, and sent food and wages to establish subordinate relations; and in order to protect their vested interests, these party nobles depended on the Song Dynasty and became the main leadership force in defending the northwest border of the East He East Road of Song.

At that time, in Lin, the local wealthy chiefs in the prefectures included the Zhe family of Dangxiang, and the Wang family of Dangxiang Zangcai clan in Fengzhou. "The Zhe family has Lin since the end of the Tang Dynasty. The place of the prefectures was originally the fifth place of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhendu’s military commander, whose son Lun was the governor of Linzhou, Sun Congruan, and Ruan Zide, successively occupied Fugu. The Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties was the governor of Yong'an Army and defended the enemy for generations. "In the second year of Jianlong, Song Taizu of Song was the ancestor of Song Dynasty in the second year of Jianlong.

Zhe Deyi made great contributions to defending the border, and ordered Zhe Deyi to enter the court for a visit. He was treated more and sent back to the town. Qiande 2

Zhe Dejian died in the throne, and his son Zhe Yuqing was appointed as the title of the founding of the prefectures and prefectures. The Zhe family was loyal to the Song court and fought against the Western Xia. Therefore, Xixia hated the Zhe family to the core. The Wang family of Dangxiang Tibetans in Fengzhou lived in Feng for generations.

In the second year of Kaibao, his leader Wang Jia came back, and the Song Dynasty established Fengzhou to deal with it. Wang Jia died. Song Dynasty was appointed as the governor of the prefect of the prefecture of his son Wang Chengmei, and was appointed as the commander of the Tiande Army's Fan Han Commander, and later appointed as the governor of Fengzhou. Wang Chengmei was later appointed as the governor of Fengzhou.

Record the affairs of his grandson Wang Wenbao.

Song Zhengfu adopted this policy of restraining, entrusting important tasks to the Party and Xiang Haoqiu in Lin, Fu and Feng areas to resist the Western Xia. As for the benefits of entrusting local tyrants to rule the Xia, Ouyang Xiu's discussion on the matters of Linzhou:

"The so-called local tyrants are the only one who is brave and brave, and have a reputation that is famous, and the enemy is afraid of it, and they can understand the false situation of the enemy. Anyone who is fighting and defending will not take advantage of the plan. If you entrust a state, you should regard yourself as your home.

, , one is in good faith, one is brave in fighting, and one is strong in defending. In addition, one is a native, and one is in line with its customs and feelings, and people rely on their courage and like to follow it. Then the people of the foreign and Han dynasties can gradually attract themselves, which is the external defender
