"There is Helan Mountain over there." Wang Ju stood on the top of the city and looked northwest. He could not see it from Yanzhou. It was actually not far away. If it was a small group of light cavalry, it did not need to carry logistics. Starting from dawn, you could reach Helan Mountain at dusk.

But even this distance is still a big hope for the Song army.

Yan Da also sighed, what a great opportunity, and he gave up like that.

Yang Wenguang said: "There are also capable people in Xixia. Although Renduoling Ding was defeated, Xiao Chuan actually reorganized the defeated army. It seemed that he said something, which made many Xia soldiers cry and then went south."

Among this group of Song army generals, Yang Wenguang could only be considered a second-rate general, not as good as Liu Changzuo and other generals. However, whenever he saw him, Wang Ju couldn't help but think of the Yang family generals in later generations.

But Lao Yang also had two brushes, and he immediately saw the essence of things.

Don’t think that Xixia was defeated. If the powerful generals organized the three armies and became the Ai Army, they would have a headache at that time. Of course, there are too many Song troops in Yanzhou now. As long as the Song army does not continue to advance westward, they will not dare to come over to counterattack. But Dong Wen may have a headache.

However, this is great. Finally, it is the Song Dynasty's turn to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

However, the war between Renduolingding and Dong Jiong will not break out in a few days. Although the party made Renduolingding mobilize and become a mourning soldier, it had to eat and drink, so it had to squeeze the people and raise food and grass for logistics. Anyway, in the past or two years, the people in Xixia might live a hellish life.

Liang Yimang led his men to Lingzhou and were on high alert in Lingzhou. Wang Ju had never thought about Lingzhou at all, but Liang Yimang was scared. Liang was even more afraid.

Wang Ju looked fun, so he asked Qu Zhen to lead a light cavalry. He set out from midnight and at dawn, he suddenly jumped under Lingzhou City, and even Lingzhou City seemed to be in a bombing camp. However, Qu Zhen did not dare to stay away, and yelled a few words outside the city and rode the horse back.

But the task of the king of heaven is still very heavy these days. First of all, you have to draw a clear territory. If you can occupy it, you must occupy it. If you can't occupy it, you must not be greedy.

He had discussed with Zhang Yue before. Then he again based on the confessions of various captured generals in Xixia. Now he sent the generals to the field for repeated investigations before making the final decision.

Finally, you will make a clear territory and clearly mark the territory. You will need to build a fortress and build a lot of fortresses.

For example, in Huanzhou, we must first start from Baimachuan. The front line of Wang Ju General is located in Zhiziping, which is fifty miles away from Hongde Village and is located on the banks of Baimachuan River. It is a dangerous place. However, it is too far from Hongde Village, so we have to choose one to build a village in the middle. So we chose another dangerous place to go south, Huijiazui. However, these three villages are straight and are still very thin. Therefore, Wang Ju and the generals chose Xu Dingtai, forty miles west of Zhiziping, to set up another fort. Here we can control the Xixia Niuquan Pavilion in the north and the Zheqiang Huihe City in the west. However, in order to connect with the Papaya Fort, we have to choose a small fort between Zhiziping and Papaya Fort.

This is the front line. With these four forts, Baimachuanlu will be killed.

A large fort was built beside Guitokawa, which was difficult to choose and was too wide. Therefore, it was necessary to build a fort between Guitokawa and Huijiazui. A small fort was also built on the west side of Huijiazui, and then roads were built to connect these forts and forts, so that Guitokawa would be blocked by the Song army again.

The Papaya Castle is still standing in front, but this time it is no longer standing alone in front, but has formed a chain defense front.

Next to Tongsaichuan Road, Tongzhaichuan Road takes the enemy's Jingbian Village as the second, Mengmen Sancha, which is not really important. If you want to protect Mengmen Sancha, you must build another fort between Xiguzhai and Mengmen Sancha. A fort must also be built on Huolougou on the flank of Mengmen Sancha. A fort is also built under the ancient Great Wall, because there are roads in this area, although it is not as wide as Tongsaichuan, it is also a relatively wide ditch road. Once the six forts are set up, Tongsaichuan was also strangled to death.

This is defense, but from here, it starts to extend upwards and officially occupy Hengshan. It reaches the ancestral ridge on the west side of Hengshan, and ends at 75 miles upstream of Luoshui Jintang City. In this area, Wang Ju intends to build nineteen forts in a row.

And the cost is not very large. He happened to have a large number of prisoners of war in his hands, which could be used for free labor.

Although thirty-two additional forts were built.

Because most of these forts are located in the vicinity, there is no need to station many soldiers.

Moreover, with the completion of the construction of these forts, even Dashun City and Rouyuan Village became a large rear, and the troops of these forts were moved out were enough to support the garrison of the forts on the front line.

In the future, if Xixia wants to attack Huanqing Prefectures, it will be the first to pass Hengshan. This Hengshan is also the turn of Xixia people to taste the pain.

However, before building these forts, you must also understand the movements of each village.

Therefore, the war did not stop, but the scale was very small. In addition, the villages where Xiang Zhi fought were rarely young and strong, and they were almost sweeping with a speed like killing chickens.

To eliminate these villages, we must mobilize the remaining villagers and let them come to transport salt. Wang Ju provides some livestock and vehicles. After transporting each kilogram to five fortresses, the government will provide ten cents, or equivalent to ten cents of cloth, tea and other living vessels.

In fact, this is equivalent to disguised subsidy. The distance from Yanzhou to the five designated fortresses is less than 300 miles away. The farthest is Huai'an Town, less than 500 miles, but this road is the widest and flat road, and almost half of the road is in very good condition.

Moreover, the people of Hengshan also have some livestock and vehicles in their hands, but this is not private salt, which can transport salt openly. Wang Ju will also send officers and soldiers along the way to provide some conveniences, including providing food and water.

Then in a month, each household's net income can reach at least a dozen stakes. If the family has many people, many livestock, many vehicles, and even the income can reach more than one hundred stakes or more than two hundred stakes.

This is also helpless. The Xia people in Hengshan area are too poor. If their lives are not improved, it will still be difficult to manage in the future. Internal instability will be easily bewitched by the Xixia people. If that happens, the inner and outer cooperation will be uneasy in the future.

Even after the orders were large, Wang Ju also planned to let the people of Huanqing and the two prefectures participate in order to transport the green salt to five designated locations as quickly as possible.

However, Huang Hua was negotiating in the rear and had not sent an accurate reply yet.

"Let's go down." Wang Ju said.

He got off the city and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Something should be said.

"Everyone, I will call you all to come here, and I will discuss three things. The first thing is to negotiate with you. I will invite some scholars and painters from Qingzhou City. The scholars will sort out the heroic deeds of you and your subordinates based on your statements and compile them into stories to spread them. The painters will draw their own portraits according to your appearance, and I will send someone to make porcelain sales. This sales proceeds will be used specifically to subsidize the families of martyrs who died in this battle and the lives of seriously injured and disabled people in the future."

"This is good," Wang Junwan said excitedly.

Wang Ju smiled bitterly. He found that he could tell everyone without a discussion tone, where is the right to portrait right now?

The other generals were also very happy. If this might be done well, it would be a thing of the past. Think about it hundreds of years later, later generations asked how they fought in this battle and took out these story books. It was like this, and what kind of person looked like. When the porcelain man took it out, he looked like this. It was exciting to think about it.

"Okay... Let me talk about the second thing. I am very disgusted with false reporting of military achievements. Moreover, the rewards are very generous this time. This is the list of soldiers who have made meritorious service in the army. Please check it again. If there is no objection, I will report it to the court tomorrow."

Wang Ju brought up the list of meritorious service members. This list was sorted out by him, Miao Suo, Liu Changzuo, Wang Junwan, and Dou Shunqing and more than 100 subordinates for a long time before they were sorted out.

According to each army, the list of each army was distributed to the generals and allowed them to go back and watch.

This will not be submitted until tomorrow. If there is no objection, it will be sent to the capital tomorrow. If there is any objection, it may be.

Wang Ju continued, "I'll talk about the third thing, Zhou Zhijun and General, Jingyuan Road sent 20,000 troops. Although the Xixia troops were empty at this time, just in case, in addition to General Guo and General Zhao staying to help me, you will return to Weizhou with the second batch of 10,000 troops."

Zhou Yongqing and Hebin nodded.

This is really a serious matter, and there are no need for so many soldiers now.

"But because of the attack on Tiandu Mountain, Mr. Cai rewarded them a lot, so I only rewarded them with ten coins of money. What do you think?"

It's not too thick, but including Cai Ting's earlier rewards and the upcoming imperial rewards, the Song army will be satisfied. Especially the Tiandu Mountains, it's a fat man. If there is no Qingzhou restraint, what's the good thing that comes?

Both of them had no objection.

Wang Ju continued, "General Miao, General Qu, General Zhao, you are also going back to Qinzhou, and you are in need there."

There were not many soldiers and horses coming from Qinzhou, only one hundred cavalrymen, and more than a dozen people were lost.

But Qinzhou needs them to lead troops to train troops in order to prepare for the next development of Xihe.

The three of them nodded silently.

Of course, they were still very happy. When they came, their value was very different. When they came, they were almost unknown, but when they returned, they went back with all their military achievements.

Those who returned were Wang Junwan and Liu Changzuo, as well as Poche, the 86th Battalion.

Zheng Baiqu spring came early, and spring farming production was about to begin. These Poches had half soldiers and half farmers, and could not be delayed. Although it was not that urgent, when nearly 40,000 main troops returned, they would involve a series of troops mobilization, and even some troops had to be left as appropriate. Therefore, from now on, they would have to prepare. Then the imperial edict came out and they would just set off to go back.

Yang Wenguang is the magistrate and wants to go back, but he only brings back two battalions of troops, otherwise the troops here will be even thinner.

The rest of the people were still left for the time being, but Wang Ju also drew two million guan from the forts along the way, as well as more than 3 million guan from Yanzhou, and distributed them to the Song army who returned to the return camps. One million guan will be used to rebuild the homes and build the forts and forts. In addition to this wealth, there are also some large livestock that will be distributed to the martyrs and families of seriously injured soldiers after transporting green salt, as well as the "donations" of several major workshops promised by Wang Ju, and also a portion of them will be allocated to these officers and soldiers. The people behind are allocated the benefits of private salt, the benefits of war trophy, and the successive "donations".

But their income is more than that, and the court will definitely allocate a large reward in the future.

After the discussion was completed, Wang Ju said: "Send the martyrs home."

The generals walked out together, stood solemnly on both sides of the street, and then watched the Poche military vehicles pulling a pair of coffins towards the south.

There were not many soldiers who died in Yanzhou this battle, mainly in Huanzhou and Qingzhou. Although there were great victory, many officers and soldiers were buried forever on this yellow land.

Some people in the city walked out to watch curiously.

In fact, under the constraints of Wang Ju, the Song army entered Yanzhou City without committing any evil. They just plundered the wealth of various big households. Even if these big households did not resist, they would not hurt their lives.

The best one is to not infringe on women.

However, the harvest is not bad. After all, Yanzhou is the main production area of ​​green salt. Many large households are engaged in private salt business and have earned a lot of wealth.

But no matter whether they love or hate, Wang Ju doesn't care.

War is war, the so-called righteousness is just a reason to be at ease and motivate morale, the so-called justice is just the justice of the strong! Did the Yuan Dynasty have justice, and the Qing Dynasty have justice, but they are strong, and they are justice and truth! But no matter what, at least there must be a bottom line. At least Wang Ju asked himself, and he kept this bottom line.

However, these people were confused. Yanzhou was close to Qingzhou, and the proportion of the dying and tying were also very high. Xixia was defeated, and these families also secretly shed tears at home. But who can we blame? Only the Western Xia was allowed to attack and plunder the Song Dynasty. Is it not allowed the Song Dynasty to attack and plunder the Western Xia? Moreover, in terms of benevolence and righteousness, the Song army did much better than Xixia. If it were Xixia, they would have gone to the city to burn, kill, loot, and became a mess, rather than like what they are now.

Wang Ju glanced at them and said, "Wild Dragon Mee Sheng, you convey an order to the rear. If you perform well, you will not transport green salt when the forts are repaired. Some prisoners of war can be released as appropriate."

"Ah." Yelong Meesheng was surprised. These prisoners of war were still waiting to sell for money. Then they were released. Will they let them invade again in the future?

"Give them some motivation, and there are some people in the court who are very kind..."

"It's a ghost to be kind," Ye Long Meesheng cursed. Why do you love foreigners? There are many people in their own family who are not willing to keep their food and clothing, and they are hungry and cold.

"This is called giving gifts to friendly countries rather than to family slaves. It is one of the fine traditions of scholars and officials."

Miao Shu was listening to it.

Not to mention, it's a bit like that.

After passing by the last coffin, Wang Ju whispered: "Everyone, go all the way."

Although he saw too many dead people, his eyes were still a little wet at this moment...

…………

Wang Ju was just a little sad, but some people were so worried that their hair was even white.

Not far away is Xingqing Mansion.

Liang Yi asked Liang Yongneng: "Yongneng, how do you explain this time?"

Of course he didn't know Wang Ju's plan. Although the scout came back to report that the Song army was preparing to start building a fort in Hengshan. But he had no choice but to avoid fear that Wang Ju would be accused of making a mysterious and false fort, and that the fort was fake, he was ready to continue to attack Lingzhou City.

"So evil, evil."

No matter whether it is a monster or not, what should I say when I go back?

Liang Yongneng pondered and said, "Now there is only one plan."

"What's the plan?"

"The disaster is in the east."

"Looking east..." Liang Yi trembled.

"Not to the east, there is a person in the east."

"Yongneng, who is?"

"Song Ji!" (To be continued...)
