Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth the wind

The condition of the Jin emperor Wanyan Sheng, who was originally critically ill, gradually stabilized and did not continue to worsen, greatly eased the tension in the Jin Dynasty. After the war in the Central Plains ended, the Jin rulers also saw the incompetence of Qi and began to make strategic adjustments.

Wanyan Wushu, who swept the Song army in the Central Plains, gained power again. He led 30,000 Tiefutu to control the Central Plains, and Wanyan Nianhan led 20,000 troops to control Yangzhou. He cooperated with 100,000 Qi troops to build warships along the Yangtze River.

Wanyan Sheng appointed Wanyan Helisa as the Shaanxi Strategic Envoy, leading an army of 30,000 to Jingzhao, and cooperating with the 100,000 Qi army to fight against Chen Qing's army on Xihe Road and Wu's army on Dasanguan.

Wanyan Chang continued to serve as the chief military supervisor of the three routes, responsible for promoting peace and forcing the Song Dynasty to surrender.

In the morning, Wanyan Chang's carriage slowly drove into Jingzhao City under the escort of a thousand troops. Wanyan Chang's expression was very serious. He never expected that in just half a year, Chen Qing had defeated the Xixia army and captured Xihe Road, which developed too rapidly.

He was really worried that it would be wise for the emperor to send Wanyan Helisa to continue as the Shaanxi Strategic Envoy?

But worrying alone is useless. The key is how to prevent Chen Qing and Wu Jie from joining forces to counterattack Shaanxi Road. This is his main purpose for coming to Jingzhao City.

Wanyan Yuli Sa invited Wanyan Chang into Jingli Mansion. Wanyan Chang stood in front of a map and said nothing for a long time. This was a map for one year. It showed that Chen Qing was only in Ganquan Fort, and the others were either the territory of Qi or occupied by the Xixia people. But what about now?

"The military supervisor should not care too much about Chen Qing's expansion!"

Wanyan Yulisa walked to the side and sneered: "Many of his occupied areas are relatively weak, such as Deshunzhou, Huizhou, Lintao Prefecture, Hezhou, Huangzhou and other places, with only two or three thousand troops. The places he really controlled were Qinzhou and Gongzhou, and only tens of thousands of troops."

Wanyan Chang looked at Wanyan with dissatisfaction and drank Li, "Do we suffer less from him? Do you still despise him so much?"

"I'm just telling the truth. It's not that ten or eight years have passed, but in less than a year, how powerful can he be?"

"General Li Cheng, tell me?" Wanyan Chang turned around and asked Li Cheng behind him.

Li Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that he recruited a lot of troops, defeated Ren Dejing and collected 20,000 of his troops. It is estimated that Chen Qing's troops are about 50,000 or 60,000. His strength has indeed increased, but at the same time, we must also see that after Chen Qing's territory and troops expand, the tactics he is good at defending the city will be difficult to play. Bei Zhi thinks that there are advantages and disadvantages."

Wanyan laughed at Li Saha, "Tong Li is right. I admit that Chen Qing is so powerful in defending the city. How many troops have been killed by a Ganquan Fort? If it is really a battle in the wilderness, I don't believe that he can defeat the fierce Jurchen cavalry? This is my confidence. I am not afraid of him, and I will no longer go to siege the city stupidly!"

Wanyan Chang nodded, Wanyan Yulisa and Li Cheng made some sense, and the Jurchen cavalry had not had a large-scale ground contact with Chen Qing.

"Which is said, what if Chen Qing and Wu Jie join forces? How can we deal with it when they attack together?"

"this"

Wanyan drank Lisa for a moment and said speechless. He looked at Li Cheng as if he was asking for help.

Li Cheng said slowly: "This is actually what I am most worried about. If the Wu-level soldiers come out of Monk Yuan and restrain Fengxiang Mansion and Guanzhong, and Chen Qing will attack the cities and villages in the north, then we will be passive. If this continues, we will only be Guanzhong left on Shaanxi Road."

Wanyan's face gradually became serious. He also realized that this was a big problem. When they attacked Xihe Road, Wujie would dig their nests. When they attacked Dasan Pass, Chen Qing would point to Jingyuan Road. He would indeed lose sight of one thing.

The three of them were silent, and suddenly Wanyan laughed and laughed, "Didn't the Dujian Army come to solve this problem?"

Li Cheng also realized that since Wanyan Chang mentioned this question, he must have had an answer.

Wanyan Chang smiled and said, "I am indeed considering this issue. The crisis in the west has to be resolved in the east. We must put pressure on the Song Dynasty court to remove them from Chen Qing or one of the Wu ranks and replace them with the person we want, and the problem will be solved."

"Du Jianjun thinks it can be successful?" Li Cheng was a little unbelievable.

Wanyan Chang snorted coldly, "I have been dealing with the Song Dynasty for so many years, but I don't know them yet? The key is that you don't act rashly for the time being. Even if Chen Qing provoked, I will hold it back and deal with him slowly in the future!"

As time gradually came, Niu Gao led 15,000 troops back.

In the Hehuang Valley, due to the preferential treatment of land granted to the army, young and young people signed up for the army and recruited 6,000 new soldiers. At this time, Chen Qing's total army had reached 70,000.

At this moment, the imperial court's reward also came. Chen Qing changed his title to Xihe Road Military Envoy, and was granted the title of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, rewarding ten thousand pieces of silk. The other soldiers were all promoted to the level of official position and rewarding 300,000 pieces of silk.

At the same time, Chen Qing's structure of the Strategic Prefecture and the appointment of all Strategic Prefectures and prefecture officials was approved.

In the Strategic Mansion, Chen Qing received news from the Second Scout Camp from Xixia. Li Qianshun appointed his younger brother Richard as the main general and Cao Baozong as the deputy general, leading a 100,000 army to confront each other in Shizhou and Xiao Heda in the south. Both sides relied on their terrain advantages to fight against each other and refused to easily launch large-scale operations. It is estimated that there will be a relatively long confrontation.

But what is surprising here is that Cao Baozong actually made a comeback again and was reused again to become Richard's deputy general.

Cao Baozong asked his family to redeem himself with 100,000 sheepskins and released his personal soldiers. It is unknown how Cao Baozong returned to make a lie.

But since Li Qianshun initiated Cao Baozong again, Chen Qing discovered that there was a problem with Li Qianshun's employment, including the Censor Barry Zuren who came to negotiate before, Chen Qing found that he had no practical ability.

If you are an experienced negotiating official, you have to negotiate at least a dozen rounds and go to the mine to visit prisoners of war. The price is reduced on the grounds that the prisoners of war were abused. The transaction of twenty-five sheepskins is a reasonable price.

But Bali Zuren only had a round of talks, and when he saw that the Song army was tough, he compromised. It is said that Bali Zuren was Li Qianshun's favorite minister, and sent favored ministers to negotiate and sent children from aristocratic families who talked about war on paper to serve as generals. This shows the foolishness of the Western Xia emperor and the corruption of the Western Xia court.

When Xixia and Xiao Heda were both defeated, they might have the opportunity to attack Xixia in the north. I wonder if the Jin Kingdom had the same thoughts, the cranes and clams were fighting each other, and the fisherman benefited.

Xixia had no time to look south, so Chen Qing's eyes began to turn to the east. Of course, he would not be satisfied with a small Xihe Road. Xihe Road was his foundation and he needed to manage it well. Chen Qing was not in a hurry to expand eastward. However, Qinzhou needed a strategic buffer zone so that the Jin soldiers would not directly approach the city of Chengji County as soon as they came.

One is Longzhou and the other is Pingliang Prefecture, Chen Qingzhi is sure to win. Only with these two prefectures can Qinzhou have an outer barrier.

Chen Qing immediately ordered Hu Yanlei to send people to Longzhou Hepingliang Prefecture to spy on the military intelligence of these two states...

Before the sand table of the official garrison, Chen Qingzheng, Zhang Xiao and Jiang Yan first discussed the feasibility of sending troops to Hepingliang Prefecture in Longzhou.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a moment: "Longzhou is not only a buffer zone for Qinzhou, but also a buffer zone for Fengxiang Prefecture. It is extremely important to both sides. Once we send troops to Longzhou, the Jin soldiers will inevitably send more troops to capture them. However, if the Wu-level general can station troops in Monk Yuan, then he can restrain the Jurchens from sending troops to Longzhou, and Longzhou will be easier to capture."

Jiang Yanxian also said slowly: "Zhang Sima is right. Once the Wujie soldiers stationed in the monk Yuan, there will be an offensive situation. Fengxiang's Jin soldiers dare not act rashly and can easily take down Longzhou. However, the importance of Pingliang Prefecture is even greater than that of Longzhou. It is the entrance to Jingyuan Road. The Jin soldiers and the puppet Qi army will definitely have a chance to fight Pingliang Prefecture. It will be a fierce battle for us. I suggest that the strategy be made before moving, and not send troops easily. Think about how to fight after you have finished it, and then make full preparations!"

Zhang Xiao and Jiang Yanxian both suggested contacting the Wujie troops stationed in the army, and Chen Qing nodded, "I will write a handwritten letter to Wujie!"
