Chapter 743 Wang Yang who decides to visit the three states in advance (second update)
Chapter 752

After drawing another one, he locked the second relatively intact sample and the precious map of China into a wooden box and locked them in a box.

Wang Yang's face became increasingly gloomy as he used the Go chess pieces next to the table to estimate the marching routes of the troops and horses from the tribes in northern Liao and the southward routes of the troops and horses from the Liao Kingdom going to Beijing.

Because the direction Wang Yang estimated was Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty, which is now the area where Mr. Han Zhongyan is pacifying.

Helu Road is the most important military strategic area for the Great Song Dynasty to face the Northern Liao Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty has deployed nearly 20 elite forbidden and frontier troops on Hedong Road alone. In addition, it has great prestige and is good at using troops. Han Zhongyan, a veteran and famous minister of Zhidao, is stationed. It is unrealistic for the Liao Kingdom to take advantage of Mr. Han, who has a heavy army in his hand. After a hundred years of repairs, his defense line has already been impregnable.

What the hell is that for?Wang Yang always had an ominous premonition, or his superhuman keen sixth sense made him always feel that these troops in Beiliao were probably not heading towards the heavily fortified Hedong Road, but toward the They came from the land of the three states that had just been seized by the Song Dynasty.

If it really came this way, then it would take less than 20 days at most before this army would enter the territory of Xixia and arrive at the city of Youzhou.

Wang Yang took a deep breath.Tapping lightly on the case table with his fingers, all of these questions are just guesses made by himself based on a few letters of information.

If you really want to report your speculation to the court, those guys will probably not take it seriously. What's more, Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, seems to have never had a large-scale conflict with the Song Dynasty in history. .

Could it be that it's not for yourself, but for Xixia?Today's Xixia is no better than a dog in the water.The important thing is that with the loss of soldiers and generals, and the great loss of strength, for the Liao Kingdom, it really looks like a fat and fleshy bone.

After all, what Xixia occupies is the Hetao, a fertile land with water and grass, which can be used to grow food or graze cattle and horses. In the past, the Liao Kingdom invaded Xixia several times, just because they thought it was profitable.

Mr. Wang was so troubled until the moon was in the sky that he couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in the study.

Three days later, Zhe Keshi, who hurried back to Yanzhou from New Yanzhou, came to Wang Yang. "I heard that you are going to inspect Youzhou and Hongzhou. What exactly is it? Didn't we say that we will wait until June before leaving?"

"Everything in Yanzhou is now on the right track, and the construction work in New Yanzhou is going very smoothly. Now it happens to be a relatively leisurely day. After June, I have to prepare for the autumn harvest, so I think it is better to It is most appropriate to inspect Yu and Hong states now." Wang Yang explained to Zhe Keshi, who was flustered by the wind and dust.

"It's really because of this? Why do I feel that your words seem to be incomplete and untrue." Zhe Keshi looked at Wang Yang suspiciously. This guy suddenly changed his mind. Is it just for such a simple reason?I'm afraid that even Zhe Keshi herself wouldn't believe it.

"Didn't you say that the flower ginning machinery factory is very busy and needs to recruit a large number of workers, why did you claim to be idle in a blink of an eye?"

"Such a small matter, just leave it to the subordinates to do it. If I do too much, doesn't it mean that I don't trust Gao Xiude's ability?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes angrily and said.

"Besides, it has been almost a month since Gao Shize went to the land of Hong and Yu. Although he has been writing frequently to report that everything is going well, but as the governor of the three states, I have to express something, right? "

"Well, you have a reason anyway, so let's go together, just as I am also going to inspect the repair and maintenance work of the forts." Zhe Keshi could only say helplessly.

"That's why I asked you to come here, brother. In such a land of three states, government affairs and military affairs are all rudimentary, so we should work together." Wang Yang could not help but smile when he saw Zhe Keshi agreed. .

It has been a pleasure to cooperate with this guy many times, and the cooperation is very pleasant. The important thing is that Wang Yang's inspection this time is not just for superficial reasons.

However, there are some things that are really difficult to say now. If you say something that is uncertain, others will regard it as bragging.So Wang Yang thought it was better to keep it deep in his heart.

Surrounded by a thousand elite cavalry, the two left Yanzhou and headed straight for Hongzhou. The area between Yanzhou and Hongzhou was mostly plains or a small amount of hills.

It took less than three days before the group arrived at the city of Hongzhou.Outside Hongzhou City, the original garrison camp has now turned into a colorful place that almost looks like a refugee camp.

After receiving the news, Huang Shouxin, the general of Hongzhou who rushed over, Dong Qun, the general judge of Hongzhou, and Gao Shize, who happened to be still dealing with immigration issues in Hongzhou, went out of the city ten miles to meet Wang Yang and his party.

"Why are they still here? Didn't they tell them to move to Youzhou?" Wang Yang looked at this refugee camp-like place, frowned, and asked Huang Shouxin and others.

"My lord, most of the people who are still staying here are Tubo people. Most of those party members have already gone to Youzhou, but these Tubo people are unwilling to leave, and several tribal leaders hope that we can agree with them to continue. Stay and live in Hongzhou. No matter how much I persuade you, I can't persuade you to leave..." Dong Qun, the general judge of Hongzhou, smiled helplessly.

"These Tubo people want to stay here? Why is this happening..." Wang Daguan asked with a confused look on his face.Among the remaining population that I had calculated before, there were only Han people, and there was no plan to leave these Tibetan aliens behind.

Gao Shi next to him cleared his throat and stood up to explain patiently. "Sir, this is actually the case. These Tubo people have always been more honest than the Dangxiang people. Moreover, like the Han people, the Tubo people are mostly servants, domestic slaves or tenants of the Dangxiang people."

"Now our Da Song's attitude towards the party members, they also see it in their eyes. They seem to think that staying in my Da Song's territory is more cost-effective than following those party members and defecting to Xixia, so..."

"So, after discussing with the two lords, the general will leave them here for now, and then we will see how to report to the lord. I didn't expect you and General Zhe to come so soon, lord." Huang Shouxin also said at the same time. next to said.

"My lord, many of these Tubo people are good at grazing. The last general thought to let them stay first. In case I have another victory in the Song Dynasty and seize the city and land, when the time comes, let these Tubo People grazed cattle and sheep for us in the Song Dynasty..."

"Okay, since you think it's ok, let's do this for now, but remember, you must screen me carefully to avoid any accidents." Wang Yang finally agreed with the three brothers' thoughts and ideas in his heart. Opinion.

"Thank you, sir. You two have been working hard all the way, so please go into the city and rest quickly..." Hearing Wang Yang's relief, the three of them couldn't help but look happy, and quickly invited Wang Yang and others to go into the city.
