The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1017 Strategic Policy
How to face the Mongols, and what kind of national policy to use to deal with the Mongols, this is where Lu Heng still hesitates.

Now Mongolia and the Song Dynasty have not yet fully bordered each other, only the northwest area of ​​the Western Regions still has time to buffer Lu Heng.

The two countries of Liao and Jin, which are sandwiched between Mongolia and Song Dynasty, are worth pondering.

Liao and Jin have become a buffer. Apart from the three-party alliance of Mongolia, Jurchen, and Khitan, the Song Dynasty only needs to defend the Western Regions with all its strength. As for the battle between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia?

Hot blood comics can do this, but Lu Heng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, cannot do so. Any decision made by the emperor is not only related to the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, but also closely related to countless people of the Song Dynasty.

The same Borjijin Temujin, if he is a hero rather than a reckless man, he should have heard the rumors of Song Dynasty to some extent, and maybe it is a tentative attack again, and it may be possible to test the quality of Song Dynasty.

Just as Temujin tested Liao and Jin three years ago, the two countries resisted Mongolia and did not go south again in the next three years.

Lu Heng judged that the Kingdom of Jin has no problem protecting itself now, with the strength of Wanyan Aguda, no, with the strength of the first generation of Jurchens.

If Mongolia wants to destroy gold, it may have to break a few of its own teeth to do so.

On the contrary, Liao's strength is weakening day by day. It is not because of the help of Jin. Now Liao's strength is very difficult to face Mongolia and Song Dynasty.

What's more, there was news from Jin Yiwei that Shu Luping's health was very bad, and he had been seriously ill for the past two years!

Shuluping's death is bound to cause another turmoil in the Liao Kingdom!

Just as Lu Heng was discussing with the ministers about Mongolia, Jin Yiwei urgently sent news that the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom Shulu Ping died of illness, Ye Luxian regained the power of the Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Yanyan was assisted.

After receiving the news of Shuluping's death, the Mongolian incident mobilized another army to go south. According to reports from Jin Yiwei's spies, it is very likely that Temujin will go south in person this time.

As soon as Yeluxian regained his power, he was about to face Temujin's attack and reacted very strongly. He called all the Khitans on the grassland to form his own Oruduo to prepare for the imperial conquest against Mongolia.

At the same time, Yeluxian also sent envoys to the Kingdom of Jin, the purpose of which was self-evident.

This time Mongolia went south Lu Heng was also very concerned, and ordered Yue Fei, Marshal of Xuanwu in the North of the Great Song Dynasty, to lead the Yue Family Army Huyanzan Chixin Battalion, Gan Ning Jinfan Cavalry, five good generals Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici to lead the Lei Cavalry Battalion and Feng Cavalry Battalion to station troops in Heyun City .

Marshal Du Gao of the Dongfang Qinglong of the Great Song Dynasty commanded Zhang Jie and Deng Yuan's army to station in Wusun County to guard against the Mongolian state Kangju going south.

Zhang Liao, the fifth son of the Great Song Dynasty, commanded Zhang Yu's troops to station in Congling County to guard against Guishuang. Just as there was friction between the two countries, it had to be guarded against.

Zhang Yun, the five sons of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhang Ren, Marshal of the Yizhou Legion, commanded troops to garrison Xihai City.

Marshal Di Qing, Marshal of the Western White Tiger of the Great Song Dynasty, led Marshal Ma Teng of Luwu, Marshal Zhang Xiu of Enlightenment and the garrison of Yue Sheng's troops to garrison Jiluoshan Grassland City.

At the same time, let the various ministries of the Emperor's Forbidden Army assemble and prepare to go north at any time.

Lu Heng sent Di Qing and Yue Fei each to lead several armies to Heyun City and Grassland City, and the rest of the border army remained untouched to ensure the stability of Song Dynasty.

Heyun City is more than 1000 miles west of Longcheng, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and Grassland City is [-] miles south of Longcheng. Two armies are on standby to watch the situation of this war.

If the Liao Kingdom loses, will the capital of the Liao Kingdom be destroyed?

It's possible!Both armies are equipped with cavalry regiments. It depends on the situation. If the Liao Kingdom cannot resist the Mongols, it will not be able to strengthen the Mongols. Contact Mongolia first to test the opponent's combat power.

But that's beside the point!
Although Heyun and Grassland City are both located on the grassland, they are thousands of miles away from Dragon City. Even if they are captured, they will still be enclaves. They have no interest in Lu Heng, an uncontrollable enclave.

A person who sealed Australia because it was too far away to be controlled would have any interest in the enclave of Dragon City?
Lu Heng's strategic intention to conquer the grasslands is very obvious, that is to build cities one by one!

On the grassland, a defense line was built with manpower, so that the terrain advantage of the grassland was no longer there.

The main purpose of gathering the army is to eat away at the grasslands, and let the army build cities along the Yanran Mountain first. This is the most important strategic purpose.

Yanran Mountain is much less famous than Yinshan Mountain. In fact, Fenglangjuxu actually defeated the Huns once in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was "Yanran Leshi".

Dou Xian, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, sent troops to conquer the northern Xiongnu in one fell swoop. His achievements were so outstanding that he was compared with Huo Wei for a while.

It is entirely because Huo Qubing and Dou Xian are too far apart. Needless to say, Huo Qubing became famous at a young age, winning more with less is like a shining meteor in the history of China. Killing his colleague Li Gan was also overshadowed by merit.

And Dou Xian's personality is extremely narrow and selfish.He uses his position to bully others at will, and his flaws will be repaid with cruelty.

This person went to war against the Huns for self-help and not for the country. He was imprisoned for killing people at random. When he felt that he was in danger, he came up with a way to save himself--asked to go to Mobei to conquer the Huns, in order to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds to avoid punishment .

Since then, Dou Xian thought that he had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so he took credit for it and became more domineering and reckless. In the end, he was implicated in treason and forced to commit suicide.

Therefore, no matter how great the contribution of "Yan Ran Le Shi" is, the character of the protagonist will naturally be cast aside by the world, and no one will use "Swallow Ran Le Stone" to flaunt themselves, but will become an example like the similar "Feng Lang Ju Xu".

"Yanran Leshi" is a rare victory in China against the grassland. Even if the protagonist is so unbearable, some people mentioned that "Xiaoguan rides every time, and protects Yanran in Yanran". ".

After talking so much about Yanran Mountain, where is it?
Yanran Mountain is the Hang'ai Mountain Range in Mongolia in later generations, with a total length of more than 800 miles, which is almost the distance from Yunhe to Longcheng, and there are many water systems crossing Yanran Mountain, including the Ganwei River (Zabhan River in later Mongolia) ), the Xiongnu River (the Badrag River in later Mongolia), and the Anhou River (the Orkhon River in later Mongolia).

The interweaving of mountains and rivers is the best place to build a military fortress, and the south of Yanran Mountain is less than a hundred miles away from the Dragon City of Liao Kingdom!
In addition to Yanran Mountain, Lu Heng also ordered the construction of a city at the end of the private canal on the south side of the Xiongnu River.

This place can establish a defense system with Grassland City and Dingliao City, and connect with the defense system of Yanran Mountains.

If Lu Heng's idea is completed, then most of the land of the Liao Kingdom in the grassland will be gnawed down, the territory of the Liao Kingdom will be reduced even more, and the situation of having to relocate the capital will be faced.

Only after the above defense system is completed, Lu Heng will go north to take down Dragon City according to the situation and build the last fortress here.

This also means that the Song Dynasty and Mongolia are no longer bordered by a small part of the Western Regions but by a large area of ​​land.

At that time, the defense line of the Song Dynasty will really face the test. The Mongolian history is not that the Jin and Liao are not good at attacking the city...
