Zhao Zhen knew the current situation. He did not have the courage to make drastic reforms, which did not mean that he did not understand. As the emperor, he did not allow military affairs. The military orders were combined again and again, and the powerful military yamen appeared, reappearing the fact that the five generations of generals were deposed and established. This could be done on the frontiers to deal with wars, and the central level was absolutely not allowed. After all, the deployment of several routes along the border evolved from the camps in the early Song Dynasty to the unity of the government and government orders of the Strategic Office, but because the wars were long-term, they had to do so. The Strategic Office was originally appointed as the commander to the expedition, but because the wars lasted for decades, they could not be in the process, and finally became what they are now. The Strategic Office was still located there, but the commanders were constantly replaced. This is the essence of the Strategic Office.

After a haha, Zhao Zhen said, "Xu Ping repeatedly reported that the war this autumn and winter must be in Qinfeng, Jingyuan, Huanqing three routes, and the valley roads along the Hulu River. In the past, there were doubts in the court, but now after looking at the sand table, I know why Xu Ping said this. If the court followed the Hulu River and seized Tiandu Mountain from north to north, and then controlled the Malings on the left, then Xing and Ling and the two states would open the door of the dynasty, and the army could directly attack their hearts. From the northwest of Huanzhou, Qinggang Gorge, since ancient times, it has been to Lingzhou.

The road is the most convenient. However, this road must pass through the vast sea, and after leaving the canyon, it will be covered with britains. There is no water source of Xichuan. In ancient times, the city was abandoned and the army was difficult to pass. Only Huluchuan was open, with abundant water and grass, and food was given, which was the best for the army to advance. Therefore, if this dynasty wants to block the difficult thieves, it must firmly control the Zhenrong army. Even if the thieves come in a thieves, they cannot stay for a long time. The army of this dynasty wants to attack the thieves north, and still must advance along this road. This is the foundation of the Han Dynasty's land of Henan Province.

This is what Li Zhang said several times to Zhao Zhen after learning from Xu Ping and returned to the capital. Zhao Zhen has kept it in mind. Now Zhao Zhen has regarded Jingyuan Road as the key to the decisive battle with Dangxiang. Now he has looked at the sand table and deepened this impression. From Guanzhong to Lingzhou, the nearest avenue is Malingshui, and Huanqing Road is actually the Malingshui River Basin, which is also the avenue since ancient times. However, this road has to pass through hundreds of miles of the vast sea. The supply city built in the vast sea in ancient times has been abandoned at this time. To open up this road, it is necessary to find the water source again and build the city in the water source on the road. The Malingshui itself is bitter and hard to drink, and it is not easy to support the army. In addition, the vast sea after leaving the Sichuan Valley, it is no longer accessible in this era. The road from Huanqing Road north is abandoned and can only block the invasion of Dangxiang. To go north, it can only be along the Hulu River Valley Road.

Li Di, wearing reading glasses, bent down and walked around the sand table, looked carefully, took off his glasses and said, "Xu Ping's words are really good. When the army attacks, they must advance along the road of abundant water and grass. Otherwise, the food and grass will be insufficient and there will be no drinking water, and the army will collapse without fighting. Now the road along the Maling River north has long been abandoned and can only be used as a surprise weapon, but only Huluchuan can be used."

The priests nodded and said that they were. Li Di had an understanding of military affairs when he was young and had extraordinary talents. Emperor Zhenzong once called him "the so-called ", Mu was in the ban". His Jinshi list did produce many people who were both civil and military. In addition to him, the top scholar, there were Liu Ping, who later transferred to a military position, Zhang Cun, who was as good as Liu Ping, who was a commoner of military arts, Tongsun, Chen Guan of Wu's military arts, and Chen Guan was also Wen Yanbo's father-in-law. As for other Liu Sui, Li Wei and others, they were even more engaged in military affairs. Li Wei had been demoted for inappropriately dealing with Shan Hui Weiliang. After Liu Ping was defeated in Sanchuankou, he was not immediately determined by Huang Dehe, which was all related to this group of helpers of the same year.

After returning to the court, Lu Yijian could not defeat Li Di and return to the Secretariat, so he could only stay in the Privy Council. Because of this background, Li Di was at least engaged in military affairs, and in the Secretariat, Lu Yijian was a little worse in this.

Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly: "The Prime Minister said it well. Qiu and winter's strategy for the thieves is actually clear after looking at this sand table. After Xu Ping occupied Dingxi City, he did not go forward to occupy Lanzhou, but occupied Huizhou a few days ago, so he went towards Huluchuan."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen gave tea and asked the prime ministers to sit down aside, formally discuss the strategy of Dangxiang, and no longer mention the sensitive issue of Qinfeng's military reform. Then the matter should be slowed down, and then overturned Dangxiang first.

After drinking tea, Lu Yijian said: "The most urgent thing now is that since everyone thinks that the war is in Huluchuan, how can we command the thieves in the autumn and winter? Huanqing, Jingyuan and Qinfeng are lined up in a row, and they are not in charge of each other. At that time, the thieves will attack, and they are afraid that they will not be able to rescue them in a hurry. Once they win, they cannot take advantage of the victory and pursue them, and they will miss the opportunity to fight."

Yan Shu said: "A few months ago, the commander of the four borders along Shaanxi was re-determined. Didn't Xu Ping also control the troops on Jingyuan Road? Those two routes were close and Xu Ping's control would not miss the big thing."

Zhang Dexiang said slowly: "Just control alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to save any major issues. In the defeat of Sanchuankou, Liu Ping also controlled three troops. When he encountered the Hao bandits, he still had several troops waiting and watching!"

At that time, Liu Ping's positions were controlled separately, and he was in charge of the military and horses of Gouyan Road and Jingyuan Road. He himself was the deputy military and horses of Huanqing Road. He was actually the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Dangxiang War. But in fact, this series of official positions was in name only. Except for Shi Yansun, who followed his command, the other cities and village chiefs were mostly acting alone, and there were several troops waiting and watching near Sanchuankou.

Yan Shu looked at the people around him and felt a sign in his heart. He was afraid that what Xu Ping’s military reform was just gossip. Today, what he really wanted to talk about was front-line command. Especially the people of the Privy Council were afraid that they had unified their opinions and had a scheming in their hearts, and they wanted to get support from others today. Except for Wang Yiyong, the Privy Council is now full of Lu Yijian’s people, and there is no restraint. Yan Shu was a cautious person. When he saw this sign, he immediately kept silent.

Li Di said in a deep voice: "This dynasty's military and political affairs are in charge of the Privy Council. How to command the autumn and winter wars? I wonder how the Privy Council thinks?"

Lu Yijian looked at the sand table next to him, and looked at the big map next to him, and said: "The three routes are not in control, and there is no need to rescue them in case of emergency and emergency. The Shufu now has three methods, and he will ask His Majesty and the ministers to consult. One is to divide the war against the thieves into two sections along the northern border, the eastern section of Fuyan Road and Linfu Road, and set up a general minister. The western section includes the other three routes, and also set up a general minister. Or set up a general commander on Jingyuan Road, the general commander Qin Feng, Jingyuan, and Huanqing Road, and the two prefectures of Jingyuan. At the very least, set up a general minister in Jingyuan, Huanqing Road to command the war in the direction of Zhenrong Army. Due to the obstruction of Tiandu Mountain occupied by the thieves, Qinfeng Road cannot be integrated with the other two routes, and can fight alone."

Qinfeng Road is the Longyou area of ​​the previous dynasty. It is geographically incompatible with other routes. There is Longshan in the middle, and Tiandu Mountain is blocked from north to south. The connecting pass is either at Guanshan in the south or at Tiandu Mountain in the hands of Dangxiang in the north. Although it is close to Jingyuan Road, it is not geographically inclusive. It is not practical to let Xu Ping control the troops of Jingyuan Road. It is too long and has no practical significance.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Lu Yijian said, "If there is no general commander on the front line and the command is unified by the Shufu, the journey will be too far. The military situation is urgent, and the battle between the various routes must support each other, and all rely on the capital for many inconveniences."
