On October 12th, the beginning of winter, on this day, Xu Ping quietly followed Gao Daquan's army and took his military-related subordinates from the General Administration to leave Qinzhou City. The news from the Xishi City that Yu Zang Huama had already begun to gather the Fanluo army and was about to go south. The Dangxiang army from the Xishou Military Supervisory Office arrived in Huizhou and set out in advance along Zu Lichuan.
The grass and trees swayed and dew turned into frost. The leaves and weeds around Qinzhou were already withered and yellow, and they were squeaking when they stepped on it. Snowflakes began to float on the mountains not far away. Before they knew it, winter came.
The traffic between Qinzhou and Sandu Chuanya Road is inconvenient. Xu Ping must grasp the battle situation at any time, so he will have to command nearby. Of course, as the commander of the three armies, he will not go directly to the battlefield, but will control the overall situation from the decided Longzhong tribe.
Military operations are a whole, with different positions having different tasks. Doing their own duties well is to make the greatest contribution to the war, rather than rushing to the battlefield no matter whoever is rushing to the battlefield. Not only does Xu Ping not go to the battlefield, but even Sang Yi and Gao Daquan, Xu Ping also ordered them not to go directly to the battlefield where the troops were engaged. Those who fought on the battlefield were the commanders of the battalions and the first-level commanders. The battle commanders should control the overall situation of the battlefield, rather than charge in the battle.
The Longzhong tribe was a small man who was controlled by Gao Daquan's subordinates and placed them together in a temporary courtyard in the valley. Xu Ping ordered their tribe members to eat and drink, not leave the yard, and not ask how many people came here, who lived here, and how the battle was. The leader of their tribe was invited to the vicinity of Xu Ping's tent, and a temporary courtyard was built. Sometimes Xu Ping would have dinner with them to calm the hearts of the people.
The tent was not a tent, because he had to stay here for a few days, and Xu Ping was not used to living in a tent, so he asked Tan Hu to bring people here to set up some vegetables in advance. When the war ended, these houses were left to the Longzhong people as their residence. At that time, this area should be combined into a village. Not far away, the tributaries merged into the Sanduchuan to naturally rebuilt Anyuan Village, and it was affiliated to the upper Gangu City. This place is naturally the fort under the jurisdiction of Anyuan Village. The principle of the village under the city, the fort under the village, and the village under the fort under the fort under the village, is this. This is also the principle of setting up the fort near Qinzhou.
The sun rose and shone on the frost-covered trees nearby, which was a little warm. Xu Ping stepped out of his residence and said to Tan Hu: "Go to the leader of the Zhaolongzhong tribe to have breakfast together. Today is a good day."
Tan Hu Yingnuo turned around and left, and within a short while, he brought the leader of the Longzhong tribe.
The old leader had white hair and beard, and his clan was occupied by the Qinzhou army, and he could not resist it. He had not been able to sleep well these days and seemed a little haggard. He went forward to salute, and the good leader asked Xu Ping for his wish.
Xu Ping smiled and returned the favor and said to him: "The elders are respected, and the old military leader does not need to be polite."
After saying that, Xu Ping asked Tan Hu to move the breakfast to the yard, sit down with the old leader and talk casually.
While having a meal, Xu Ping asked casually: "Old military leader, what was the harvest last year?"
The old leader said: "For the blessing of the commander, the cattle and sheep sheep sheep are free from illness and disasters, and the grain planted in this valley will also be harvested, and it is acceptable."
"It's good to go through. I see that you have also opened a lot of land in the valley. I don't know what you plant. How much grain can a mu of land produce?"
"It's pitiful. We foreigners are not as good as the Han people. We just sow seeds and have some harvests. There are people who come to us to sell groceries in autumn. I asked them to estimate it. One acre is only five or six buckets."
Xu Ping looked around and said a little sorry: "The land in your valley is flat and fertile. There is a river passing by but no water shortage. How can one acre of land produce so little? If you learn to farm like the Han people, if you make paddy fields, you can harvest one acre of one or two stones."
"No, we can't plant millet, so where can we plant paddy fields?"
Xu Ping nodded without saying a word. In the northwest, these valleys near rivers are good fertile fields, so it would be a pity to plant them so extensively and widely. When the tent was merged into a village, if you want to find a way to use these land, you don’t have to rely on food from outside the road.
At this moment, Li Zhang hurried over and went to Xu Ping to lower his voice and said, "Jie Shuai, I just received the report. The day before yesterday, the troops commanded by Yu Zang Huama had arrived at Zhegu and Dagu. Yesterday, he should have reached the closed door."
Xu Ping nodded: "I understand, you can go to the coach's tent first, and I will arrive later."
When Li Zhang left, Xu Ping said to the old leader: "The old army leader is slow to use. I have some things to do, so I won't be here to accompany you."
"Even if the Grand Marshal goes, I am a useless person, how dare I delay the Grand Marshal's effort? Speaking of which, although I am old and dazzled, I am not confused. I know that the Grand Marshal comes to our tribe, and there must be something big. For the court, our small clans in Longzhong can't help, so they can only try their best to cause trouble for the Grand Marshal."
After saying goodbye to the old leader, Xu Ping slowly returned to his handsome tent. At this time, the sun had jumped out of the shackles of the mountains, hanging red in the east sky, sweeping away the frost of the night, illuminating the warmth of the sky and the earth.
In the tent of the coach, Wang Kai, Li Zhang, Zhong Shiheng, Gan Zhaoji and others had already been waiting there. When they saw Xu Ping coming in, everyone greeted him.
Before the case, Xu Ping looked at the huge map hanging in front of him and asked Wang Kai: "According to your estimation, where should the Dangxiang troops from Yu Zang Huama and Huizhou be here now? Show me!"
Wang Kai held various small flags in his hand and inserted them on the map. The black flag represents the troops of Yu Zang Huama, the green flag represents the Dangxiang Army, and the military horses in Qinzhou use red flags.
"Yesterday, Yu Zang Huama's troops arrived at Zhegu and Dagu. Before that, the Dangxiang Army had already arrived there two days in advance along the Zulichuan Valley Road. I think it was because Yu Zang Huama who received the news that the Dangxiang Army arrived, so he moved forward with confidence. Now that the two armies have met, they should have been to the closed door yesterday. We are there, but the news has not been sent back yet."
The closed door pass is Biyu Pass, an important gateway on the east and west roads of Longyou. Passes were set up there since the Han Dynasty. However, after Longyou fell into Tubo in the late Tang Dynasty, the city of Guan was abandoned, leaving only a place name. The closed door pass is not far from Qingjichuan, and Xu Ping had asked Gao Daquan to send troops to support the Yao family. The enemy who invaded was not allowed to turn to the Wating River Valley Road. Although the distance between Qingjichuan and Qingjichuan was not far from the closed door pass, the road was narrow and difficult to walk. It can be said that one man should be the gateway, and ten thousand men could not open it. Yu Zang Huama did not win over the Yao family early, and that road was not accessible.
Everything is expected at this point. When the war begins, the army stationed in the Yao family will attack and occupy the closed doors, and they will lock the invading enemy tightly in the Sandu River Valley Road, and they will never escape even if they have wings.
After looking at the map for a while, Xu Ping asked Wang Kai: "Did the Deshun soldiers brought by Liu Jianji set off?"
"The troops brought by Liu Dujian have already entered Zhipingzhai in advance. As soon as we received news from the Dangxiang Army that arrived at Zhegu and Dagu, we sent military orders to ask them to go along the valley road to Zulichuan."
The Shu army led by Cao Keming had already arrived at Yaer Gorge Village in advance. It was very close to Weizhou during the Tang Dynasty. As soon as Sang Yi, the mouth of Chuangu, Sandu, fought with the enemy, he would send a quick horse to inform him to go north and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the west envoy along the Xianhe River waterway.
Xu Ping put all the enemy troops in Sanduchuan to fight. The terrain was favorable, and the other two troops were really hard to figure out the combat power of the other two armies. In theory, the two armies were all long-time generals, but the combat power of the imperial guards was really hard to figure out. When you think you were sure to win, they would often make a big news for you, without any means. If you are a possibility, everything is to do with me. Don't be lucky. In other words, it is not a battle without confidence. Therefore, Xu Ping would rather work harder than allow accidents to happen. There is no reason that the two armies could not do.
He stood up straight, Xu Ping pointed to the map between himself and Cao Keming and said, "I am afraid that something will happen to the Fan tribe here. Although we have done the most, the actions of Fan Qiang are still elusive."
Wang Kai said: "This area is the place of the Qingtang clan, the Zhang family, the Dragon clan and the Moxing clan. The Moxing clan is irrelevant, and it can be put aside. The Qingtang clan and the servant always have a passion for incense. In the past six months, he is obedient and he is not allowed to be disrespectful. Now, in the grinding corner of Zong Ge, Yuanhao, he has already attached himself to Yuanhao. He said that the golden dragon wants to marry Yuanhao's daughter as his wife. His situation is very bad. The soldiers of Si's subordinates mainly come from the Hexi Fan tribe. With Si Duo in charge, he is not allowed to surrender.
Dangxiang, otherwise Si Duo, who had a grudge against Dangxiang to kill his father, would not be able to tolerate him. Si Gongshun, the Qingtang clan's Nazhi Linwen did not have any abnormal movements, and the Cao Dumai army was near him, so there should be no accident. The Dragon clan came from the Liugu Fan tribe, and after being attacked and killed by Dangxiang, he had nowhere to stay and came to Qinzhou to surrender to the court. There is no reason to believe that the Zhang family is from Hezhou, and they have never been able to match the surrounding natives. Some of them are the Dragon clan and the Qingtang tribe, but Zhang Xianger didn't have the courage to mess around."
Xu Ping breathed a sigh, turned around and looked at everyone, and said, "Okay, we have all thoughts of what we should think of. Now we can wait for Yu Zanghua Ma Teng to enter the valley and fight happily! You see if there are any other omissions, tell me to check for the omissions."
After Lu Yijian entered the Privy Council, the wind direction in the court suddenly changed, and he fully supported Xu Ping's actions in Qinzhou. He was extremely embarrassed by Wang Shougui and Gan Zhaoji, who was in charge of the Military and Justice Department. Although they could report to Zhao Zhen directly, how could Xu Ping, who had received the support of the Privy Council, be suspicious of Zhao Zhen?
When Xu Ping asked, the two of them crossed their hands first and said, "Jie Shuai was thoughtful and thought about everything he should have thought of. Where is there any omission? Now our army is ambushed in Sanduchuan, waiting for Yu Zanghuama and other thieves to get into the trap!"
Seeing that everyone else nodded in agreement, Xu Ping thought about it and had indeed done the most detailed, and said, "Okay, then let's ask Yu Zanghuama to get into the trap!"
