"I have met Mr. Zheng," Zhang Ji gave a big gift solemnly.

How happy I stayed on Jinghu South Road for more than two years, and Zhang Ke was about to vomit. Unexpectedly, Zheng Lang gave him such a big gift.

Looking at this militant, Zheng Langmohan, no wonder he dared to spy alone in history, causing himself to be seriously injured and killed. It is true that he really doesn't take his life seriously. But Zheng Lang was also happy, and held Zhang Ji's hand and said, "General Zhang, you are here just right."

There is a serious lack of generals, but there are generals, but there are serious lack of useful generals. Zheng Lang regrets it a little bit, and it is better to force Zhang Yu to stay.

However, with Zhang Ji personally taking charge behind him and Su Jian cooperated, he felt relieved.

Yue'er brought a pot of tea, and Zhang Ke said politely: "Thank you, Miss Fan."

Although Zheng Dizhao came inexplicably, it was not groundless. Now Zheng Lang has a high status in the minds of some generals in the army. Although he is a civil servant, he has indeed reached the point where the emperor can be afraid of it.

Zheng Lang let out his mouth and signaled Yue'er to go down.

What we talked about next is very confidential, and even Yue'er can't let her hear it.

Zhang Ke sat upright and listened with ease.

Zheng Lang said the plan in its original form, and Zhang Ke said excitedly: "Mr. Zheng, let me go too."

"General Zhang, you are more important here. If you don't drag the main force of Jiaozhi, my voyage will be very dangerous. There is also a heavy general in the rear. Who else can you do?"

Zhang Ke was unhappy.

Zheng Lang comforted him with kind words.

At this point, only five people knew the entire plan. Zheng Lang himself, Zhang Kang, Zhang Ji, Su Jian, and Di Qing also guessed most of it. Although Zhou Heng knew some, he didn't know much about military affairs. He still couldn't figure it out.

All are people who can rest assured.

Then he showed the information of Jueliai to Zhang Ji. After receiving the information, Zheng Lang felt relieved and had never fought. He was a little afraid of Wu Er and Li Changjie. However, through various signs, the two were famous generals, but they were only famous generals between first-class and second-class. They could not be said to be first-class, let alone top-level generals.

This is within his expectations. When the Song Dynasty placing Jiaozhi, it sent 300,000 troops, but in fact only 100,000 troops. Historical records in history record Xue Rengui, Dafei, Sichuan, and 100,000 troops, and there are also records that there are 50,000 troops without troops. By the same token, 50,000 people are civilians, which cannot be considered as military forces. It is okay to say that there is no 100,000. It is okay to say that there is no 50,000 troops. The 200,000 people are civilians, which cannot be counted. The 100,000 Song troops, and many other miscellaneous troops urgently conquered from the local area. Compared with Jiaozhi, the **10,000 troops can be used.

In addition, he could temporarily recruit tens of thousands of troops from the Barbarians and gather 150,000 troops. The Song army did not have an advantage. Compared with the two, Li Changjie's military ability was not as good as Guo Kui. He was not the top-level, and the person who could be called the top-level in the future had not appeared in front of the world. He was studying hard at home and preparing for the scientific examination. Of course, his experience when he was young was very important. Zheng Lang secretly sent someone to De'an, Jiangzhou to investigate, but did not disturb him.

However, I was afraid of mistakes, so I never left Yongzhou.

He sent someone to shout Su Jian.

Su Jian Zhonglie could definitely believe that Zhang Ji was even a military madman, but this pair of civil and military personnel must cooperate well.

In front of the two, he made detailed instructions again. He sent a fast horse to transfer Zhong Yan and Zheng Xia back. He and Zhang Kangmo could barely match the previous Zhong Shiheng. At least the two of them were not weaker than Di Qing. However, there was a lack of brave generals who could fight, so he summoned Zhong Yan and Zheng Xia back to serve as the brave general.

I said goodbye to Yue'er.

Yue'er also suffered a lot when she came to the south, but she was much happier than the other wives and concubines in Zheng Lang's family. She had been together for more than two years and had never been reunited.

Then he secretly led the guards to Ruxi Village.

When Zhang Ji arrived, he was accompanied by 12,000 Song troops. Two thousand Song troops were transferred to Qinlian and Lian Prefectures, and 10,000 Song troops came to Yongzhou. But not only these forces, with the arrival of more than 10,000 Song troops, many people enthusiastically signed up to join the army.

The first batch of people were not many, and they had to be identified by the government and then concentrated in Hengzhou one after another. Therefore, the number was small, with only more than 4,000 militias. However, with the news of the Jiaozhi invasion, more than 3,000 people in Yongzhou participated in the temporary army.

Three thousand people were transferred to Qinlian and the two states of Qin and Lian. This was what Zheng Lang called reinforcements. However, this was the first group of people, and there was a second group later. There were more in Yongzhou, and there were a third and fourth groups. It was not until the end of the war that it stopped.

Zhang Ji began to take over Zheng Lang's command.

Ten thousand Song troops and nearly five thousand militia were successively transferred to the front line.

It is not the three passes, but some soldiers have been stationed in the three passes, which is enough for defense. But it starts from Shangsizhou and goes to Longzhai, Taipingzhai, Mingyingzhai, Kangzhou, towards Wuzhou, Hou Tangzhou, and Hengshanzhai. That is, it covers the Han household immigration area and forms the third line of defense.

On this line of defense, in order to prevent Shengman from harming immigrants, Zheng Lang once again reasonably built twelve big villages on each avenue and guarded all the avenues together. It seemed reasonable, but it was not until a few days later that Wu Er and Li Changjie realized that this series of rationality was simply unreasonable, but rather a huge fire pit was planted reasonably and waiting for Jiaozhi to jump into it.

This line of defense is the last line of defense. When you get here, you can't take a step back.

Because more than 20,000 households were moved, and the local barbarians were able to recruit temporary troops at an emergency. In history, Su Yan did not do this. The key is that the Song Dynasty still did not pay attention to Lingnan and did not turn Nong Zhigao into fruits this time. The situation is different. Su Yan's powerful reputation is not as good as Zheng Lang, and the barbarians in Lingnan did not see the sweetness. For various reasons, even if Su Yan summoned militias in history, the effect would not be very good.

As various sources of material resources continue to transport to the front line villages.

But the barbarians who did not ignore the three levels and the last line of defense.

Send officials to inform them that Jiaozhi sent a large army to prevent the three levels from being lost. You are ready. There are many strong men under your command. Those who have the power to fight will build caves to protect themselves. Those who have no ability to fight will take advantage of the geographical advantages of many mountains, forests, and caves to avoid the massacre of the Jiaozhi people when Jiaozhi breaks through the three levels. If you are not sure, retreat and retreat into the third line of defense area.

The Jiaozhi people were too cruel. Even the Western Xia invasion or the Khitan invasion had never done any cruel acts similar to the Jiaozhi people. Only Yuan Meng can compare with the Qing Dynasty, Huang Chao, and Fang La.

The rear was mobilizing, and the second level of the Three Passes Battle was launched.

Not only in the three passes in Zhennan, but also in Yongping Village. This is the third invading army in Jiaozhi.

It was the army of Su Maoman and other barbarians who were spontaneously organized by the army under the call of Jiaozhi. The number of invasions reached more than 10,000. They showed that they had captured Yongpingzhai from Luzhou, entered Xipingzhou, and slowly headed north. They threatened to move to Longzhai, or attack Taipingzhai on the side.

The addition of this department, coupled with the addition of some barbarians of Menzhou and Qiyuanzhou, directly brought the regular army invaded by Jiaozhi to nearly 100,000. Not even the 20,000 civilians who escorted the logistics.

But even so, Zheng Lang did not ask the court for a soldier except for Zhang Ke to bring 12,000 reinforcements.

When the information reached Yu Jing's hand, Yu Jing was so scared that his face was as bright as the earth. Nong Zhigao was more talented, his equipment was not as good as other people's equipment, his weapons were not as good as other people's weapons, and his combat power was not as good as other people's combat power. It was Nong Zhigao, what did Guangdong and Guangxi become like?

In the end, no matter what Zheng Lang thought, he wrote a memorial and asked the court for reinforcements. At least 30,000 to 40,000 imperial guards had to be sent to Guangnan West Road, and it would have to come quickly, otherwise it would be too late.

When the memorial arrived at the capital, Zhao Zhen called Di Qing to the palace again. Di Qing replied: "Your Majesty, if you succeed, Zheng Xianggong's troops will be enough. If you cannot succeed, even if the court sends reinforcements now, it will probably not be too late. Moreover, the weather in the south is hot and miasma is beginning to prevail. Although some medicines can be cured, they can go south in a hurry, causing unnecessary financial expenditures, and serious soldiers will die."

When Zhang Ke arranged the soldiers and militias brought in the so-called third defense line, Di Qing had already understood Zheng Lang's idea. In addition to some details, Di Qing guessed all the general direction.

"But I'm worried about it."

Zhao Zhen sighed softly. Alas, although Zheng Lang is good, he is loyal and has nothing to say. He works hard for himself and for the Song Dynasty. But every time he plays, he is frightened, so he will be afraid of his mistakes.

Di Qing said again: "Your Majesty, this time, the resignation of Prince Zheng is very big. It is not only the report of the minister, but you can come and see."

On the big map, I drew three dotted lines with my fingers. The first line started from the southern part of Menzhou until Wuyingdong ended. I said, "This is the first line, but instead of the line, the point is the Juli Pass level."

Another dotted line was drawn. The beginning of Ziruxi Village, but the end of Wuedong was still at Wuedong. He said, "This is the second line, Yongping Village, Zhennan Pass, Pinger Pass, and Shuikou Pass constituted most of the line, and the end was still the Nong clan. However, these Nong clans are different from Nong Zhigao and have always been dissatisfied with Jiaozhi. If used properly, this line will form a whole. Between the first line and the second line, the barbarian tribes are not loyal to our dynasty, and many tribes are hostile, so more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers join the Jiaozhi army. This line cannot be defended, but between the second line and the third line, although the situation is complicated, many tribes still have a good impression of our dynasty. They were invaded by Jiaozhi before, at least they had malicious intentions towards Jiaozhi."

Then he whispered for a while.

Zhao Zhen woke up and asked, "Does Zheng Qing want to eat these 100,000 barbarians together?"

"I think this will probably be interesting."

Zhao Zhen opened his eyes wide. If this is the case, Zheng Lang has a very good appetite, aren't he afraid of tickling his teeth?

However, I was still worried that I ordered Jinghu South Road and Jiangxi South Road to prepare to recruit local troops, and the side should support the battle of Guangnan West Road.

It is as Di Qing said, an edict that wasted finances and disturbed the people, or a wise edict, which is unknown now. However, this edict will definitely cause some turmoil among the people from both sides. March is the busy spring season, but the government was arrested to join the army. Who would be willing?

Menzhou, Qiyuanzhou, Guangyuanzhou, that is, between the first and second lines drawn by Di Qing, each part can be divided into four types. Those who are not attracted to Jiaozhi and the Song Dynasty, but do not have much hostility. They have no choice but to be stuck in the middle and have to blow the wind on both sides. Those who are hostile to Jiaozhi and the Song Dynasty have a strong sense of consciousness. Those who are not hostile to the Song Dynasty but have a good impression of Jiaozhi. These three accounts for the majority. There are also those who are favored to the Song Dynasty and hostile to Jiaozhi, which is rare.

Are there any hostility towards the Song Dynasty? Almost no. Why is hostile? The Song Dynasty never had any ideas about this area, but instead used pacification and bribery methods. If it is hostility, it would only treat the Song Dynasty as a super-large fat sheep and take a bite from time to time. That is not considered hostility.

But this mentality is also bad.

So they were abandoned gorgeously in Zheng Lang's plan.

The Jiaozhi army spent several hours sorting out the ruins of the Juli Pass Pass, and the army headed south. They gathered the troops that Guo Kui had broken up.

Hearing that the Jiaozhi army came, some tribes expressed their participation one after another. Some tribes may not have a good impression of Jiaozhi. However, at this time, countless Chinese households were moved in the Yongzhou area. They had nothing to do, but after a winter of labor, they used labor to replace the economy. The government distributed a large amount of money, silk and food. This made Yongzhou a huge fat sheep. I was jealous of it and wanted to give it a share. Anyway, so many Dong tribes participated, so I was not afraid of the Song Dynasty's revenge afterwards. Could it be that the Song Dynasty could solve so many Dong tribes together?

Going south, the troops grow stronger.

When I arrived at Zhennan Pass, Wuer had a headache again when he looked at the tall and majestic city of Xinzhennan Pass.

However, at this time he came up with a solution to call out the chiefs of various divisions who came from Qiyuan and the state of the country. He made a promise to let them attack this pass, and all the gains after the attack belonged to them. Jiaozhi would not sit by and watch, give them siege equipment, and send heavy troops to help them.

It seemed that he had obtained a price, and the barbarian chiefs agreed immediately.

Jiaozhi didn't seem to be deceiving them. It really provided a flying hook (a special scratch hook that grasps the head of the city). Simple stone trenchers, cloud ladders and some simple city siege ladders, collision cars that hit the city walls can avoid wall cars such as arrow stones, and a cave made of cowhide.

The equipment was distributed. The barbarians came to Zhennan Pass with a strong aura.

And compared with Juli Pass, the terrain of Zhennan Pass is slightly wider, but it is not much better.

As soon as we rushed forward, the defensive battle began again.

This time, Zhennan Pass was more prepared. The five days Guo Kui won were enough to allow the Song Dynasty to transport enough materials and weapons to any of the three Passes.

Countless crossbows fell like raindrops, and regular slaughter, and a kind of slamming rod (a kind of equipment similar to slamming wood, which is shorter. Several soldiers raised their slamming under the slamming ladder and hit the top of the slamming ladder, often knocking down the ladder with five or six out of ten), gunpowder, more advanced scattering machines, sulfuric acid, and rockets that specialize in slamming caves.

Of course, Zhennan Pass is not impossible to conquer, but it is impossible to conquer it easily.

After several rounds of attacks, the body fell to the ground.

Seeing the sacrifices of his tribe members, the Barbarian Chiefs were heartbroken one by one. They gradually showed hesitation and finally asked Jiaozhi to send troops to help. We alone cannot take Zhennan Pass, so you can also send troops.

The Song people's defensive weapons were too powerful, and Wu Er was frightened to see them. The barbarians couldn't bear to let them go, and he couldn't bear to let them go either. Seeing that it was getting late, he fought a haha ​​and ordered the troops to retreat and rest.

The next day, Wuer divided an army and went to Ping'er Pass. The result was the same. He did not believe in evil and divided his troops into Shuikou Pass. Shuikou Pass was different from Zhennan Pass. Shuang'er Pass was strictly a water checkpoint. It was strictly a water checkpoint. Using the local terrain, a bridge was built between two mountains and one river. There was a steep gate under the bridge, and there were tall checkpoints on both sides of the bridge, which were built against the mountains and rivers. The blocking was the Pengjiang River Waterway.

This level is not a challenge, but a capture of this bridge and steep gate.

It seems not difficult. Jiaozhi, Guangyuanzhou, has been operating for a long time, especially on the south bank of the Pengjiang River. Many tribes can let them actively cooperate with Jiaozhi. Moreover, leaning against Pengjiang River, the lower reaches are the left road, and there are many ships. The Jiaozhi people collected these ships and showed a picture to forcibly conquer the Shuikou Pass from the water.

The result was blocked again.

The Song army brought Jiaozhi's move against the Later Han Dynasty. Many large wooden stakes were nailed under the Yupeng River, and the nails were hidden. The Jiaozhi scout did not notice it. The ship went up all at once and could not get down again. Many tincture oil bottles flew up from the checkpoint and hit the boat. The tincture oil bottles splashed and flowed on the deck. Then the rocket came and the ship caught fire quickly. The Jiaozhi soldiers had to jump into the river to escape.

The repeated obstacles forced the Jiaozhi people to focus on Guangyuanzhou.

And a new problem is coming.

During the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty attacked Jiaozhi, and 100,000 troops led 200,000 civilians to carry supplies and supplies.

Xue Rengui attacked Dafeichuan, and a 50,000 army led 50,000 civilians to carry food and grass.
To be continued...
