In the Qingzhou Xia Shouyun's mansion, several generals sat around a wine case. The main seat was Xia Shouyun, both sides of the road were deployed by Zhao Zhen, who was demoted, and Ge Huainmin, who was appointed as the four commanders of the Longshen Guard and deputy commanders of Huanqing Road. His lower head was Xu Huaide, who was commander of the Gongsheng Army and the commander of the Huanqing Road, and on the right was the Ma Jun Du Yuhou and deputy commanders of Jingyuan Road.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Xia Shouyun said to the three people: "Yesterday, I received the order from the Privy Council. Mr. Lu once again blamed us for the two sides, saying that compared with Longyou, the troops we reported and the accumulation of grain and grass storage were too hasty. The priests discussed the border situation because we reported unknown, and the officials were furious. Since the Hao thief rebelled against the border, you have not made any contributions, so I have made it difficult for me to write a letter to the court every time. This small matter should be done with all my heart and well, so that the officials can watch us do it."

Ren Fu said: "It's not that we don't care, but that things can't be done at all. If we follow the report format used by Qin Fenglu transferred from the Privy Council, we will report everything in the army. It's not that we don't want to report it to the court, but where are there so many idle people in the army? If we do those things, we have to be able to read and recognize words. Should we raise so many sour scholars in the army?"

Ge Huaimin nodded repeatedly: "What the Ma Jun said is that Xu Ping himself was from a Jinshi. He was in charge of the army one day and tried every means to plant those sour scholars in the army and came up with these many names. Martial power is the first priority, so what does it have to do with Mao Zhizi? Military merits in the battle formation need to be fought with one sword and one shot. What is the use of your official documents? Could it be that the thieves would be scared to death after reading your official documents? We have been in the army since we were young and cannot see these false documents. How can we do such things?"

Xia Shouyun said in a deep voice: "You are very reasonable. Now Longyou is fighting one victory and another, but we have not made any achievements here! Without military achievements, we can only arrange it. Do you understand?"

Xu Huaide whispered: "The Taiwei said this in a biased manner. Last time the Hao thief came to attack, we also made a lot of military achievements in Huanqing Road. However, the civil servants in the central government of the court were controlled by civil servants, deliberately suppressing us military men, not showing our military achievements, but just praising Xu Ping."

Among the generals, Xu Huaide was the most slim and was deeply involved in the essence of the three imperial guards. As long as he saw that there was a chance of victory, he would quickly run out to grab military merits. When he saw that the signs were wrong, he would not leave the village. Even if the friendly troops were beaten to death outside the village, he would not take a look. With this skill, when Dici Yuanhao attacked, he really stole some small achievements on his body, and he was not defeated in a single battle. However, all his victories combined, and they had almost won more than a hundred, but there were several suspicions of watching friendly troops being attacked and closed for help. However, among the crowd of defeated generals around him who lost ground, his performance stood out, and as a result, he was all wearing the halo on Xu Ping, which made him angry.

Although Xia Shouyun was determined to protect the generals, he could not tell lies with his eyes open. Compared with Longyou, the victory of Huanqing Road was really not worth mentioning. People often won tens of thousands of dollars, attacked cities and villages, and even Yuanhao himself was beaten to flee in a panic, and he also obtained several state cities. You are like a idle man fighting, dispatching thousands of troops, and as a result, you killed several heads and captured more than a dozen or twenty people. The cattle and sheep they robbed were not enough for you to eat. The Privy Council was blind and compared your military merits with Longyou.

Shaking his head, Xia Shouyun said, "These gossip is useless. When the war begins after the autumn, you will use your own lives to fight with the thieves and get some military merits. At that time, no one will say anything more. Our two groups of soldiers are elite imperial guards, and the number is much higher than that of Longyou, so we should naturally give the thieves a heavy blow. This time, I have a problem with the guards against the Zhenrong Army. With the troops of the Jingyuan army under Ren Fu, the Hao thieves dare not go south. The other army followed me along the Maling River and took the thieves' Jingsai Army Supervisor Office in Weizhou. Although Longyou fought many victories, it was only forcing the thieves' Zhuo Luo and the Nan thieves' thieves to move north and did not destroy them. If we can destroy the Jingsai Army Supervisor Office, we can barely surpass them, which is a great contribution!"

The other three looked at each other and were silent for a while. Ge Huaimin said: "The Taiwei's strategy is naturally excellent. However, the water in Maling is bitter and cannot be drunk. It is not easy to move along the river. If you encounter a location without water, you can only build a city to find water and move slowly. In the autumn and winter months, the army is afraid that the journey is too far to reach Weizhou."

Xia Shouyun said: "The court had previously put a steady defense first. It was not easy to explore the Maling Water Road and the city was not established. However, if we were not there to fight the thieves, we were afraid that it would still be difficult to make contributions. Where did the confidence come from when we spoke in the court? If you, the Maling Water Road is difficult and you don't walk from there, what should we do?"

Ge Huaimin said: "According to the view of the last general, even if the Hao bandits crossed the Zhenrong Army, they could only reach Weizhou at most. The so-called strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lubai. As long as the Jingyuan Road station is stationed in Weizhou, the thieves will not be harmful even if the thieves defeated the Zhenrong Army. What Xu Ping said about Huluchuan is the key to the battle between the thieves and the dynasty, but for him, Longyou, it is not the case for us. What can we do with heavy troops on Jingyuan Road? As long as Tiandu Mountain is still occupied by the thieves, the imperial army cannot pass through the Zhenrong Army, and everything is still the same as before. Before Huluchuan was left, we rashly attacked Weizhou, which was guarded by the heavy troops of the thieves, and what should we do if we were to be traited for the rear?"

Seeing the other two generals nodding repeatedly, Xia Shouyun sighed in his heart and said, "In your opinion, what should we do to prevent autumn this time?"

Ge Huainmin crossed his hands: "Since the last general, he still used heavy troops to attack Baibao and Jintang. When these two cities were just around, Huanqing Road would be connected with Fuyan Road, and there would be no worries from now on. If these two cities were not down, if the thieves gathered heavy troops here, they could attack Qingzhou along the Yanqing River in the west, and they could attack Yanzhou along the Xiluo River in the east, and approached Guanzhong. The most powerful."

Ren Fu heard what Ge Huaimin said more and more, and couldn't help but say, "Long Wei's words are very reasonable, but now the Hao thief lives in the southern courtyard of Tiandu Mountain, and the heavy troops of the thieves have gathered in Tiandu Mountain. Where did the troops come from to threaten Yan and Qing two states?"

"Military arts are intrigue! If it is the real one, it is the real one. We only heard Xu Ping say that the heavy troops of the bandits gathered in Tiandu Mountain. Is that so true? Who can guarantee it? If that is just a trick of the bandits, wait for us to be unprepared, the bandits will withdraw to Baibao City, assemble heavy troops or attack Qingzhou, and if it is attacked Yanzhou, how can we deal with it? Don't forget that we have already pulled the troops from Fuyan Road to Huanqing Road. Once the bandits follow the Xiluo Navy to the city of Fuzhou, Guanzhong will be in danger! How can we explain to the court at that time?"

Xu Huaide said while pulling Ge Huainmin's sleeve under the case. The main attack on Baibao City was discussed privately by the two of them. The reason is very simple. The road to Malings is unknown, and they are mostly Shengfan along the way. The victory and defeat of the rash attack is irreversible. Baibao City is the prominent part of Dangxiang's extension into the Song Dynasty. The army's attack is much more important, especially when Dangxiang's heavy troops gathered in Tiandu Mountain to confront Xu Ping. Baibao City also has another advantage. It really blocked the connection between Fuyan Road and Huanqing Road, especially with the Jintang City occupied by Dangxiang, one left and one right, and threatened Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Fuzhou at the same time. As long as these two cities are properly operated, it can be said to be a great achievement to protect Guanzhong. Xia Shouyun still has this ability.

When he was in the capital, because of Jia Kui, Xu Huaide was humiliated by Gao Daquan in the street, which was a thorn in his heart. He looked down on Gao Daquan, who was born as a slave in Xu Ping, from the bottom of his heart. This time he was the main attack on Tiandu Mountain. Xu Huaide didn't believe that he could capture Tiandu Mountain in one winter. As long as Tiandu Mountain is still in the hands of Dangxiang, everything will have room for operation.

After the war last autumn and winter, the situation with Dangxiang has changed, and the main battlefield of both sides has been moved to the Huluchuan Ancient Road on Jingyuan Road. It was Xu Ping's judgment. Is this judgment correct? Before the war really started, no one else dared to make a conclusion.
