I am not Song Qinzong

Unless Li Yanxian retreats and gives up the Qinggang Gorge completely, one will lure the enemy to go deep.

Just let's not talk about whether Brother Cha will fall into the trap, or let the enemy enter the border, Zhe Yanzhi himself is not willing.

Guide Fort is located between two rivers, with abundant water and food. It is a relatively prosperous place on the Yongxing Army Road. The price of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields is too high.

Most importantly, if a general can't defend the enemy from outside the country, how can he boast about his merits?

Even if Brother Cha comes in and beats the dog with a closed door, Orihiko will be criticized a lot.

Therefore, Li Yanxian was under a lot of pressure.

The defensive pressure will not be too great. After all, the walls of the military fortress are poured with concrete, which is a seamless and extremely strong. With the crude methods of the party members, it is impossible to destroy the walls.

No, not only Xixia people, but looking at the world, the idea of ​​destroying the cement city wall is wishful thinking.

When the cement was just successfully developed, the Ministry of Industry and War conducted experiments.

Bombarding a dirt wall with ten catties of iron bullets can knock down a section with three or five rounds, and bombarding a brick-packed wall with a width of one foot requires at least more than a hundred rounds to concentrate on one place to make a hole.

As for the concrete wall, more than a thousand shots can be used for one prescription.

As for the trebuchet, a hundred catties of boulder is just peeling off a layer of skin, and it is impossible to think about collapsing it.

As for the bed crossbow, it couldn't go in at all.

It's not difficult to defend, but the difficulty lies in how to make Brother Cha face the difficulties.

Brother Rencha is not stupid. If he sees that the military fort cannot be moved, won't he take a detour or even withdraw his troops?

In any case, returning without success is better than returning in defeat or even annihilating the entire army.

At this moment, the military fort has been established there, and the strategy has been launched, and the rest can only go with the flow.

320 Snow Day Discussion

shuh~ shuh~ shuh~

The goose feathers and heavy snow fell one after another, and the sky and the earth were pure white.

In less than half an hour, the snow had covered his ankles, and the heavy snow had no intention of stopping at all.

Inside the imperial city, Zhao Huan looked up at the snowflakes and sighed: "It snows so heavily in Kaifeng City, I don't know what happened to Qinggang Gorge."

Beside, Liang Hongyu said: "Your Majesty, with such heavy snowfall, the Xixia people will not be able to advance, and they will definitely retreat. I just don't know if the brothers of the Zhong family will withdraw their troops in time."

"It's not over yet." General Hu Shi said, "I can't act in such a heavy snowfall, but I am used to the party members.

This time he came here with all the strength of the whole country, and he certainly cannot retreat easily. "

"That's right, the party and the country are exhausted, and it's really hard to bear the consequences of returning without success." After a pause, Yu Qi said: "With the strategy of big and small, if things can't be done, we will definitely retreat.

However, Qinggangxia military fortress is strong, guarded by Li Yanxian, Zheyan quality reinforcements can arrive at any time, so it doesn't matter. "

Several people talked about the border war in the snowstorm.

When the Kingdom was first established, there were many cases where the Privy Council formulated strategies in advance for the commander-in-chief of the expedition, leading to a major defeat on the front line.

Nowadays, I dare not say that I am proficient in military affairs, but I also know the disadvantages, so I gave Orihiko the power to make decisions on the fly.

However, in order to ensure the understanding of the front line and the control of the army, there are flying cavalry and flying pigeons to convey the front line military situation and the movement of the army every day.

Therefore, the emperor and the Privy Council were very clear about Zhe Yanwen's plan and agreed.

The brothers of the Zhong family led 2 people around to attack. It was indeed a risky thing. Even if they were careless, they would suffer a big defeat.

However, compared to the complete annihilation of the main force of Xixia, this risk is acceptable.

The loss of 2 people, in Xixia, is a disastrous defeat that shakes the whole country. It will hurt the muscles and bones, and it will take many years to recover.

But for the country, 2 people are just a big defeat. The court may be in a hurry for a while, and the impact on the whole country will not be too great.

This is the difference in national strength.

After all, wars are fought for money and food, and people are fighting for population. With the current size of the country, as long as the army is not too bad, it can basically be guaranteed to be invincible.

Seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Huan said: "Tell the Kaifeng government to inspect the whole city and make sure no one freezes to death."

"Your Majesty is too worried." Yu Qi said: "Coal from all over the country is coming to Beijing. Currently, the coal in Tokyo is only half a penny a catty, and poor people can afford it. How can people freeze to death?"

"There was such a heavy snowfall in previous years, and the common people also burned coal to serve as the Dali Temple Dulian Visiting Envoy, responsible for the supervision of officials from all over the place."

Zhao Huan didn't read the memorial after receiving it, and asked, "Do you have an agreement on the reform of the official system?"

Zheng Juzhong said: "The principle has been set, it is to simplify and reduce the number of names."

The official system of this dynasty is complicated, in which the official is a false title, which determines the amount of salary income, and the position is only an honorary position, and the dispatch is generally temporary and has real power.

Such a setting did avoid the emergence of powerful ministers, but this separation system of officials, positions, and dispatches also resulted in the repeated establishment of bureaucratic institutions, resulting in the situation of "redundant officials".

Zhao Huan has been upset about this for a long time.

At this time, the power is in hand and the domestic situation is initially stable. Of course, Zhao Huan has to change it.

Zhao Huan already had a plan in mind for the specific plan, but he just didn't talk about it.

"Let's make a plan first, and wait for Li Gang to return to the court to discuss and implement it." Zhao Huan put the memorial aside and said.

Official positions need to be changed, and institutions need to be changed.

Just like the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, the Ministry of Officials and the Political Affairs Hall, the functions and powers overlap seriously, and it is a waste of a lot of salary if they do not change.

"Report~"

During the discussion, a guard came in and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the news of success in Hedong, Tian Hu has been captured, and the chaos in Hedong has been put down!"

"Hahaha, good!" Zhao Huan was overjoyed.

Everyone present was also filled with joy.

Of course, Tian Hu was trapped in a lonely city, and there were artillery to help out. It was not difficult for Liu Fa to take him down.

However, the rebellion all the way was flat before the year, and the New Year will be much easier for everyone.
