The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 900 Unification of the Song Dynasty

In 207 A.D., in the fifth year of the Kaiyuan period of the Great Song Dynasty, two major events occurred that affected the pattern of Asia!
The first is naturally that the Song Dynasty destroyed Xixia, and the attachment of Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu regained the land of millions of miles in Xiliang, and pushed the territory of the Song Dynasty westward to Yumen Pass.

The second thing is that the Yang family of Hongnong rebelled against Cao Cao, which made Boss Cao completely lose the possibility of fighting in Middle Earth.

Cao Cao withdrew from the middle land boundary, called Wei Gong on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and established Sangong and Kaifu.

On the surface, Cao Cao is the Duke of Wei, but in fact he is one step away from becoming emperor.

This Wei Gong is also the title recognized by the Emperor of Song Dynasty!
Cao Cao first withdrew from all the sites in Yizhou except Hanzhong and Luoyang to express his sincerity.

Lu Heng also let Xiahoudun and Cao Hong's two armies go to Hanzhong from under Du Gao's eyes in Sanguan, releasing the two trapped troops.

In this way, there is only one place in China, Hanzhong, and more than 20 troops have been hoarded. Sima Yi advised Boss Cao to raid Du Gao’s army. Such a sudden attack would definitely catch Du Gao off guard. The loss of Du Gao’s [-] troops would also hurt the Song Dynasty. Musculoskeletal.

But this suggestion was rejected by Boss Cao!

Putting aside the fact that Du Gao was famous for his good defense, he must be prepared at this critical moment, and it would not be decided by an easy battle as Sima Yi thought.

Secondly, even if it succeeds as Sima Yi expected, it will only hurt Da Song.

After the attack, they can't get any benefits. There are more than [-] troops of Zhang Xiu and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, and more than [-] of Lu Heng's Tianzizhong Army, not to mention Zhao Yun and Di Qing's Yizhou Army has [-] elites. period will suffer the greatest counterattack.

This is not like the overwhelming military strength of Liu Bei and Yiling in the Three Kingdoms battle. A few years ago, Du Gao's 20 army was indeed Lu Heng's main force, but today's Song Dynasty is just a relatively powerful army.

On the contrary, it will be a bit like the island country attacking the beautiful country Pearl Harbor in the later World War II, thinking that it hit the opponent's seven inches, but in fact, relying on its strong industry, the beautiful country was only at a disadvantage in the early stage, and then pressed the island country to the ground for various fat beatings.

The reason why Cao Cao vetoed it was that if there was no way out, he would fight to the death, but now that Cao Cao has broadened his horizons and let him roam the world, it is much better to open up territory first and expand his own strength than to completely offend a strong enemy.

A person who can bend and stretch can be a hero. Boss Cao is naturally a hero. Since there is no possibility of a comeback, he should find another way to preserve his strength.

In this way, at the end of 207, those who were willing to go with Cao Cao set foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In November, Cao Cao's forces, including Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Chen Qun, and Fazheng, all embarked on the road to withdraw from Hanzhong. Yue withdrew from Shu County and officially entered Didi.

With the withdrawal of the last princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, northern Yizhou, Sanfu, and Guanzhong all returned to Chinese lands, and the Song Dynasty officially completed its unification.

Lu Heng officially designated this day as the National Day to celebrate the unification of China!
Of course, this unification did not count towards the boundaries of the Western Regions, which is also Lu Heng's next goal.

After Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, Shu County, which bordered it, became an important border area. Lu Heng ordered Zhang Wei to lead troops to Sanfu and Chang'an areas, Di Qing Army to station in Shu County, Zhao Yun Army to station in Hanzhong, and Lu Xun Army to station in Nanzhong to closely monitor Siam's movements , Du Gao's army went north to help Zhuge Liang's army build the Great Wall defense line.

As early as the autumn harvest, Lu Heng left Lao Niu as the marshal, Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong stayed in Hanoi to monitor the situation, and returned to Shouchun with Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, and Jushou.

Lu Heng's return to Shouchun this time naturally had important matters to discuss about the construction of the Great Wall, the next year's imperial examination and the second Buddhist and Taoist Conference.

After returning to Shouchun, Lu Heng non-stop summoned the cabinet, the twelve important ministers, the Military Aircraft Department, the Jinyiwei, the Siqing Bureau, the Imperial City Department, the Central Bank, and other high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty to discuss the matter.

Wu Song, Shi Qian, and Qin Han are under Lu Heng's dragon chair in the Xuande Hall of the Song Dynasty, Yu Yunwen, Ding Wei, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhao Ding, Wang Zeng, Zhao Pu, Tian Feng, Jushou, Wen Tianxiang, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang , Liu Xian, Gu Yong, Zhuge Zhengwo, Shi Xie, Yu Fan, Liu Ba, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and other important ministers are all listed, and the small NO.50 people are the backbone talents supporting this empire.

Lu Heng believes that now is the best time to build the Hetao section of the Great Wall. The Xianbei people are too weak, the Khitan people dare not act rashly, and the Jurchens are out of reach.

On the contrary, if the right place, people and conditions no longer exist today, there will be no danger to defend Hetao in the future, and the elite of the Song Dynasty will have to fight recklessly with the Mongols.

Similarly, many people in the court are also very surprised, why Lu Heng wants to build the Great Wall!Just like Jia Xu's previous thoughts, who is Lu Heng afraid of?
"Qin Han read this information to everyone!" Lu Heng asked Qin Han to read a piece of information marked top secret.

"Mongolia comes from the branch of the Dingling clan in the northern part of Moji, the head of the Qiyan clan, Borjijin Temujin.

From the first year of Jian'an (the year after Lu Heng crossed in 196) to the seventh year of Jian'an (the year when Lu Heng fought Yuan Shao decisively in 202), Temujin successively destroyed the Kelei tribe, the Mierqiti tribe, the Jamuka tribe, and the Thai tribe. The Chiwu and Tataer tribes were renamed Mongolia.

In the first year of Kaiyuan (203) of the Great Song Dynasty, Temujin destroyed the King Khan tribe and the Naiman tribe, named Genghis Khan.

In the second year of Kaiyuan (204) of the Great Song Dynasty, Temujin had friction with Jiankun, and in the third year of Kaiyuan (205), Jiankun was destroyed.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan (206 years), Mongolia went west and fought against Khwarazmo. In the fifth year of Kaiyuan (207 this year), the latest news this year was almost the same time that His Majesty destroyed Xixia.

Now, according to the news from Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others, Mongolia's land boundary is north of the extreme northern Daze (Lake Baikal), with Jurchen in the east and Xianbei in the south, a huge force that covers more than tens of millions of miles. "

After Qin Han briefly introduced Temujin's great achievements over the past few years to the ministers, he had someone carry a huge map.

"Borjijin, Temujin and Mongolia must be a huge threat to the north after the Song Dynasty, and their degree of danger is even more dangerous than the Jurchens of Wanyan Aguda, just like the Huns and Modun back then.

The Xianbei people are now in a state of disunity, and once the Mongols invade the south, let alone contend, it is very possible to surrender directly. In the end, it will be our Great Song Dynasty!
But now Youzhou and Liangzhou have the Great Wall defense line, and there is no danger to defend from the four northern counties of Bingzhou to the Hetao area. "

Lu Heng circled the map and pointed at the weakly defended Hetao area at the end. This big gap can only be defended by the Great Wall at Yanmen in Bingzhou, and looked at the ministers.

Lu Heng's words echoed in the hall. Although they were all high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, except for a few people, this was the first time that Lu Heng lifted the Mongolian veil in front of everyone. Everyone must know that the Song Dynasty is not just sitting back and resting.

There are still the Western Regions to be conquered in the northwest, and the Jurchens in the northeast are eyeing. Now that stronger Mongols have risen, the Great Wall of Hetao, Lu Heng, must be built!
