In the West Hall of Zhongshu, Zhang Yue signed the edict.
This person in the official family likes to be hot-headed, and often issues edicts without consulting Zhang Yue.
For example, when it was previously said that taxes on Xihe Road would be exempted for one year, Zhang Yue told him that agricultural taxes would be exempted, but commercial taxes would not be exempted.
Officials directly understood it as all taxes.
Zhang Yue could only make corrections immediately.
However, Qinfeng Zhuanshi Lu and Yongxing Zhuanshi Lu pardoned criminals, but all serious criminals were converted to exile.
Xihe Road has now replaced Salmon Island and International Tourism Island as the exile sanctuary of the Song Dynasty.
Before the war, reduce taxes and pardon criminals.
In any case, under Zhang Yue's repeated guidance, the officials have deeply understood what the "people-oriented" spirit is.
Officials in history have fallen into endless torture. On one side, they have the ambitions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. On the other side, they have to bear the accusations of militarism from both the government and the public, and they sympathize with the people in Shaanxi who are living in poverty.
Although in his later years, he proposed to let Mencius accompany him to worship, recognized the "people-oriented" idea, and advocated easing the relationship with the old party. However, he was tortured by his ambition and caring for the people, and finally died young.
Zhang Yue disapproved of achieving any great goal and had to torture himself repeatedly to achieve his goal.
And attacking Liangzhou to destroy the party and realize the resurgence of the Song Dynasty does not necessarily have to be done by suffering the common people.
…
After finishing the official duties, in the west hall of Zhongshu, a huge sand table appeared in the duty room next to it.
Chen Guan, Su Che, Huang Shang and more than ten staff members used small red and white flags on the picture to represent the current situation of the Song army and the party project.
The Song Dynasty worshiped the virtue of fire, so it used a small red flag. Dangxiang claimed to be the Great White Kingdom, so he used a small white flag to express it.
When Zhang Yue saw the white color, he recalled the scene of white snow he saw when he climbed the Majian Mountain. Qingtang and Dangxiang are both still white, and it is said that the white color symbolizes the peak of the snow-capped mountain that never melts all year round.
Among them, south of Liangzhou is Liuling, where the peaks are mostly covered with snow.
This is also the future Lenglong Ridge of the Qilian Mountains. Lenglong Ridge extends to the southeast to Wushao Mountain.
It is much more vivid when viewed from a sand table, and at the foot of Wushao Mountain is the Zhuanglang River Valley.
The Zhuanglang River Valley was the road where the rebel army returned eastward last time. This place was the main passage for entry and exit from the Qing Tang, Northern Song Dynasty, and Xixia.
For the Song Dynasty, it could reach the Zhuanglang River Valley and go north to regain Ganliang; for the Xixia, it could go south across the Yellow River to attack the two prefectures of Xihe and the Qingtang; for the Qingtang, it could go north and pass through the Hexi Corridor.
This is a battleground for military strategists.
During the Zhezong period in another time and space, when Zhang Dun was prime minister, he proposed a plan to send troops from Lanzhou to recapture Liangzhou.
Zhang Dun believed that Lanzhou sent troops to take the Zhuanglang River Valley to connect Gansu and Liang, isolate the Western Tibetan people, and provide an easy way for Xia thieves to travel. This would achieve the purpose of isolating Dangxiang from the Qingtang Dynasty and connecting Longyou and Hexi.
This matter was opposed by Privy Councilor Zeng Bu and other ministers.
Zeng Bu believed that the Song army had not yet controlled the Huangshui Valley, and the idea of just using Lanzhou as the front to cross the river and capture Liangzhou was absolutely undesirable.
In fact, Zhang Yue had considered both Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu's plans.
At first, Zhang Yue also planned to send troops directly from Lanzhou through the Zhuanglang River Valley to capture Liangzhou, in order to achieve the goal of winning the party item quickly. But later Zhang Yue preferred Zeng Bu's plan.
Because of the tactic of breaking through the center, in other words, it means being attacked from both sides and being attacked from both sides.
By capturing Liangzhou from Lanzhou, the Zhuanglang Valley will be under simultaneous attack by Qingtang and Dangxiang. As long as one of them is cut off, the connection between Liangzhou and Lanzhou will be severed.
So not only did Zhang Yue decide to take the lead, the Song Dynasty in history also chose Zeng Bu's plan.
However, there are no records of the Song Dynasty sending troops from Lanzhou to the Zhuanglang Valley.
In the first year of Xuanhe, in order to break the siege of Zhenwu Army City, the Song Army launched a pincer attack from Huangzhou and Lanzhou to the north. After the Lanzhou Army crossed the Yellow River, they went upstream along the Zhuanglang River Valley, beheading generals along the way and capturing key areas including
There are three cities in the Kalachuan River in Xixia, including Gaizhu City.
This time, the main force of the 150,000 Song Army led by Wang Hou marched along the Zhuanglang River Valley. After leaving Lanzhou to Yujing Pass, they crossed the river by a pontoon bridge from the entrance of Kalo River.
Forty miles north from the entrance of the Kalo River to Gaizhu City, and then three hundred miles further north, there are more than ten ancient cities, each of which is only thirty or forty miles apart. Finally, we arrive at Jisang, the easternmost end of the Hexi Corridor.
The road was fairly flat.
The total distance from Lanzhou to Liangzhou is 500 miles, equivalent to 2670 kilometers (530 meters in Song Dynasty).
It's only a three-hour drive if we change to the expressway.
An army of 150,000 people is expected to march thirty miles a day, and it will take less than twenty days to arrive. If the forwards are ordered to travel lightly, it will only take ten days.
However, including Dangxiang's interceptions along the way, the army did not advance so fast.
In addition to Zhucheng, the Zhuanglang River Valley also has the natural barrier of Gulang Gorge, as well as Zhuoluo and Nanjian Military Departments, one of the twelve military supervision departments of the Party, which are located in Zhuoluo City behind Zhuoluochuan.
Behind the Zhuolu and Nanjun Supervisory Departments there is the Luopangling Military Supervisory Department.
This is the six new military supervision departments established by Dangxiang after the Twelfth Military Supervision Department, including the Tiandu Mountain Supervision Military Department. This road can go directly from Lingzhou to Liangzhou via Huizhou.
Back then, Pugu Huai'en led the Uighurs, and the Tibetan army of more than 100,000 people took this road from Liangzhou to Huizhou, then to Yuanzhou, and finally arrived in Lingzhou, where they went straight to the rebel nest. Therefore, the party established this Luo Pangling Supervisory Army.
The company serves as the channel from Xingzhou to Lingzhou to aid Liangzhou.
Therefore, this time Wang Hou led the Lanzhou Army to the Zhuanglang River Valley, while Miao Shuo sent troops to attack the Luopangling Military Supervisory Department to cut off Dangxiang's reinforcements from the Xingling Second Prefecture.
As for Wenxixin, Wang Fan's Qingtang and Song Dynasty allied forces marched out directly. The six ridges they crossed faced the Dangxiang Youxiang Chaoshun Supervision Army Division stationed in Liangzhou.
Wang Hou's 150,000 troops on this route are of course the main force, but Wen Xixin on the west route and Miao Shu on the east route are not weak either.
Compared with the previous two-pronged expedition to summer and the historical five-pronged expedition to summer, the five-hundred-mile supply line of the Central Route Army was the shortest in history, and it was flanked by the east and west armies.
Over the years, the method of building at each section has shortened supply lines, and has been criticized by both the government and the public as a waste of people and money.
But this is the only way to play against party items.
Now Xihe Road has dispatched 270,000 troops. Facing Dangxiang's three military supervision departments with less than 60,000 troops, if Dangxiang does not have reinforcements, it will definitely be a rich battle. Zhang Yue's purpose is to complete his victory in one battle.
.
The money and food that have been saved for so long, the soldiers and horses that have been trained for so long, and the years of hard work and planning are all here.
Can I go further than Cai Jing and Tong Guan in history?
There are countless small flags on the sand table now, representing the strongholds and troop distribution of Song Dynasty and Dangxiang.
Messages from the frontline gold relay will arrive here.
Seeing the busy team of staff, Zhang Yue seemed very dull at the moment. In fact, he had delegated the power of arbitrary decisions on the front line. Even if there were six hundred miles of gold medals being delivered from Qingtang to Bianjing, it would still take two times for the message to come back and forth.
It's been more than ten days.
Therefore, the West Hall of Zhongshu is said to be the highest staff headquarters, but it cannot control the front line.
However, based on the trajectory, the generals can be rewarded and punished afterwards.
Zhang Yue sat for a while and then went back to check on the prime minister's room.
Now that I have played all my cards, I will leave it to fate as to what will happen next.
Although I am confident that this victory is 80% certain, but confidence comes from confidence, no one knows how many variables there are. As long as there is a war, there will be variables.
As long as he wins, he will be the hero of regaining Liangzhou and opening up the Western Regions; if he loses this battle and the Liao Kingdom takes advantage of the situation to invade again, his end will not be much better than that of Cai Jing in history.
It sounds like this is a gamble, but as long as there is more than a 70% chance of winning, you should bet on it.
Bismarck is not like this.
In the General Olympic Games, victory or defeat is only a matter of 50 to 50. If you win, you will be a national hero. If you lose...it feels like a man eating five pots of food.
At this moment, Zhang Yue raised his head and stared at the beams where the prime minister was staying, and slowly closed his eyes.
We will see the outcome soon.
…………
"Master Tongjun, the Song army from Lanzhou has crossed the river from Zhuo Lachuan, and Gaizhu City only resisted for one day!"
Renduoyading was also surprised when he heard this report.
He knew that the Song army was very powerful this time, but he did not expect that Gaizhu City could not sustain it for even one day.
Ren Duoyading looked at the map and walked through the Zhuanglang River Valley from Lanzhou to Liangzhou. If he lured the enemy deeper, would he have a chance to repeat his old tactics and attack the Song army's relief line?
"It's useless," Renduo Baozhong said, "the Song army's boat division directly carried food and weapons from the Huangshui River. The Song army had planned for a long time and did not give us the opportunity to attack the food route."
Ren Duoyading said: "If all three armies of the Song Army attack Liangzhou City, there will be nothing anyone can do."
"We need to intercept the Lanzhou Song Army in the Zhuanglang Valley. We will defeat Wen Xixin and others first."
Renduo Baozhong smiled bitterly and said: "Master, Wen Xixin has been dealing with us for decades. He is very familiar with us."
Ren Duoyading looked at Ren Duo Baozhong and asked, "Wen Xixin has sent someone to negotiate with you again."
Ren Duobaozhong nodded, and then said: "Master, Wen Xixin said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty values you very much. As long as you are willing to lead Liangzhou to surrender, he will make you the governor of Liangzhou! He just wants to move back.
Qinzhou resettlement."
After hearing this, Renduoyading muttered: "I'm just an envoy of Jiedu, not the king of Liangzhou."
Renduobao Zhong said: "Wen Xixin said that the Song Dynasty Wang Jue would not give it to him."
After a while, Ren Duoyading said: "I don't care whether the prince is a prince or not, but when I leave Liangzhou, I am like a fish out of water."
"Without military power, who would take our Nendo clan seriously?"
Renduo Baozhong said: "But Master, now rumors are spreading in Liangzhou City, people are panicked, and the nearby tribes are also wavering. Liangzhou may not be able to defend it."
Renduoyading said: "Liangzhou is our fundamental place, I will not leave. Without military power, I will be like a dog. If I want to die, I will die here. You just said that people in the city are panicked."
"You will prepare for the sacrifice to heaven later, and prepare more human sacrifices, so that heaven can protect our Rendo family, and then the city will be settled."
Renduo Baozhong hurriedly said: "Dad, the world's affairs have become obvious."
Ren Duoyading took a step back and looked at Ren Duo Baozhong and said: "Since you have decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty, I can't arrange for you to lead the troops. I will keep you in custody until after this battle."
