With his hand slightly raised, Xu Ping looked at the back of Tiansheng Village.

Although the ridges are flat, they are winding and winding, and the roads are circling around the top of the mountain. From the road from Wuyanxia to Weizhou, when you go to Tiansheng Village, turn south, and after passing Tiansheng Village, you suddenly turn north. Tiansheng Village is like a sharp corner on a line, pressing there. The place occupied by the Song army happened to be almost parallel to the road from Tiansheng Village to Weizhou after coming out, and is separated by a deep ditch less than one mile.

Liu Jianji set up artillery on his side, and blasted the road from Tiansheng Village to Weizhou after it came out, and the large group of people could not pass through. In the past two days, he came up with a new solution. Before dawn every day, he sent a team of people to climb out of the ditch to the opposite road, cooperated with the cannons here to completely block the road and retreated in the evening. With Tiansheng Village there, the Song army could not gain a foothold on the opposite side, but could cooperate with the cannons to prevent the people in the village from coming out.

Dangxiang suffered several losses, but now he retreated north and could only act at night. Liu Jian sent a special person to watch it. As long as he heard the sound, the cannons here would be bombarded. At night, people were in chaos and the mountain road was rugged and steep. I don’t know how many people died there.

After seeing the surrounding situation, Xu Ping put down his telescope and said to Liu Jianji: "This village has a good geographical location, which is really difficult to attack. If you are the one who is the pass, you can't open it. That's it. You don't have to attack desperately, but cherish the lives of the soldiers. We want to take down Tiansheng Village, just to block the thieves' way to escape north. You still have to work hard to seal the way out of the village. As long as the thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves' thieves'

Liu Jianji and Zhong Shiheng agreed with each other, which was a relatively acceptable arrangement. The ridge was so wide that the more than 10,000 people in his hands were useless. The right way to block the road to the north with the help of a good location. The Longyou Army was strong, and their divisions could be divided and combined, and they would not be chaotic even if they were divided into small teams. The narrow valley between the valley was less than half a mile, and climbing the valley up the mountain could still block the road to Weizhou. As long as the Dangxiang Army was blocked in the mountains between Tiansheng Village and Qianxing Village, the battle would be completed.

The one who guarded Tiansheng Village was always the Hongzhou Army, which was the group of people Dangxiang was the most capable of fighting, and they were not afraid of death. Their equipment and treatment were not as good as Yuan Hao's personal soldiers, but their combat power was not inferior to that of them, which was quite difficult to deal with. The Longyou Army was strong in organization, discipline and scientific command. Due to the short establishment time, the quality of individual soldiers was slightly worse than that of these people. Liu Jianji attacked for eight days and had not yet captured this village, which had a lot to do with this. The army on the opposite side was able to fight, and the number of people was more than Liu Jianji, and he was willing to go to the front line to fill his lives desperately. In this unfavorable terrain, this battle was indeed not easy.

Taking the generals down the mountain, Xu Ping said to Liu Jianji and Zhong Shiheng: "After capturing Xiaoguan, I ordered Sang Yi's Xuanwei army to go north and block the Weizhou intersection. When the war is over here, we will order the troops to attack Weizhou or Mingsha County. With his army confronting the thief Weizhou Military Supervisor Office across the mountain, the thief will not dare to act rashly. Just fight with peace of mind here."

Liu Jianji promised, saying, "The Protector means that after this battle, will he continue to fight this winter?"

Minghao said: "That's natural! Now that we are in full swing, we should naturally do our best to eliminate the thieves in one go, so how can we let him breathe!"

Seeing that the news was beyond Liu Jian and Zhong Shiheng's expectations, Xu Ping smiled and said, "The thieves are like frightened birds, but we are as powerful as rainbows. How can we give up halfway? And not just this winter, after taking Tiandu Mountain, we should not stop and attack until the thieves' Xing, Ling and other states. We only fought in autumn and winter before, because in the mountains, the summer rains are unpredictable, and people do not need to fight with the heavens. After leaving the Hulu Valley, there will be no such concerns, and there will be no spring hunting and autumn defense in the future!"

The Song Dynasty army was a professional army and could fight all year round without considering affecting agriculture. In the past, it was restricted by time and geographical conditions, but Xu Ping had no choice but to launch a war in a fixed season. After taking down Xiaoguan, it was a smooth road to the north, so there was no need to do so. The war here was over, and the war to attack Weizhou and Mingsha County was immediately launched, without giving Yuan Hao a breathing time.

Xu Ping rushed to the Zhenrong Army. One reason was that the two generals of the military were killed in battle and needed to discuss with Han Qi and others. The other was to decide the next strategy for the war. After taking over Tiandu Mountain, the rise of Dangxiang and the Ling prefectures opened, and they also lost important sources of materials and manpower. If they didn't take advantage of this time, what would they wait for?

Liu Jianji and Zhong Shiheng nodded repeatedly and had a new understanding of the situation of their army. It is obvious that Xu Ping's arrangement must be to divide his troops into two groups after the war and attack Weizhou. One route was Sang Yi and Gao Daquan and Zhang Kang's troops, and went out of Huluchuan to go north and attack the Weizhou Military Supervisory Office. The other route was Liu Jianji and Cao Keming, who captured Tiansheng Village and annihilated the Dangxiang army in this area, followed this route to the north to attack Weizhou. After taking Weizhou, both Hulugu Roads were all in the hands of the Song Dynasty and could calmly attack Lingzhou. Yuanhao now has no ability to stop this offensive.

Xu Ping stayed in Liu Jianji's army for two days and transferred all the nearby long-range weapons such as artillery and crossbows of the Song army. When the Longyou Army fought, it was one aspect, and it was willing to spend money in wars, and it was another aspect. The weapons and equipment in their army, along with the military supplies, were far from comparable to other armies in this era, and it was used openly.

With the economic strength of the Song Dynasty, as long as it can be transformed into military strength, it can kill the surrounding countries with money. Xu Ping went from the Third Division to Qinfeng Road, and all of his old colleagues were his old subordinates. He himself was the most profitable person in this era. The Longyou Army was short of people, but there was never a shortage of money. During this period, five or six thousand horses pulled large carts into Huluchuan, and various sources of resources were continuously transported from Longyou. Xu Ping's army brought his own military rations to Jingyuan Road, and even the food and grass were not recruited from the local area. The local troops on Jingyuan Road were not only able to fight, but also in all aspects.

When Pang Ji arrived at Wuyan Gorge, Xu Ping met with him and went to Zhenrong Army to meet Han Qi.

The establishment of the Military Law Department means to create a relatively neutral organization alone, and not everything is decided by the front-line commander. At this time, the benefits of doing so will be revealed.

When the war ends, we always have to deal with merits and demerits. If Xu Ping and Han Qi sum up who is right and who is wrong, there will always be people who are not convinced afterwards. The Military and Justice Department is not affiliated with the Longyou Protectorate Office, but is biased towards the censorship system. If Pang Ji comes forward, Xu Ping will be much more relaxed. No matter who it is, including the generals of the Sanya, have any opinions on the summary of this war. Go to the Censorship officials by yourself, and don’t come to Xu Ping. With the sharp teeth of the Censorship officials, it is difficult to say whether the generals of the Sanya have the courage to argue with them. Even if they don’t speak, I am afraid that the Censorship officials will not let it go. Ge Huaimin’s performance this time is too bad.

For Xu Ping, it is secondary to which generals who should be punished and rewarded, and just do things according to the rules. The most important thing is to summarize the war, especially the deaths of the two generals of the military and Geng Fu. We must clarify why such a result occurred. According to the pre-war arrangement, this kind of thing should not happen, it is simply a farce.

Lu Yijian wrote a letter to the two sides and sent troops to encircle Yuan Hao together. The final result also met the original expectation. The only shortcoming was that two generals of the military were trapped in, but they were not killed by Ge Huaimin on the front line.

In Xu Ping's eyes, why Ge Huaimin can be a leader all the way cannot be studied or investigated. No matter what era it is, such things cannot be avoided. What we need to understand is why he can implicate so many senior generals by himself, and why it is impossible to avoid institutionally. If Ge Huaimin was in the Longyou Army, he would not have such a chance to do things. With his identity, under the constraints of the system, he would still become a general who is in a normal manner.

This is what Xu Ping wants to change the military system reform, so that the system can restrain people. It is important to use the system to select outstanding generals, but it is also important to use the system to restrain generals, so that one general will not be confused and implicate the entire army.
