Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 364 Prepare to conquer the land!

Bi Taihua looked at Zheng Chaozong's expression and immediately understood something, and said quickly: "Sir, you are a scholar after all.

The bravery of a scholar is enough to defeat ten thousand enemies. It is already very good to be able to lead the team to fight the enemy personally. It does not require that they are extremely brave, hahaha."

Zheng Chaozong saw that Bi Taihua had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "That's not the case. Sir, you were indeed extremely brave in the battle. Every time you fired a spear, a Tangut soldier died. Every time you swung a knife, a head was shed with blood. However..."

Zheng Chaozong recounted the story of how Su Yun used the five-step face-shooting method to kill the Tangut general Ye Lixi, and Bi Taihua and others were also stunned.

"Ah... this, this,..." Bi Taihua felt a little confused. Could it be that his husband with thick eyebrows and big eyes was so, so cowardly?

At this time, Wang Baopu smiled and said: "This is your style, sir. You have forgotten that the two times you went to Xixia and broke through strong cities, you basically used tricks to break through them.

It can be seen that the master never only knows how to fight in the right way, but also wins by using the right way and the unconventional way, which is the master's method.

Those who, after being provoked by the enemy general, become so excited that they fight to the death with the enemy, are the ones who act recklessly. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned around. Zheng Chaozong knocked his head and said with a smile: "Shouzhen is still the one who sees the essence. The master is so good at commanding troops, naturally because of his unconventional command style. I have learned a lot."

Everyone else had a thoughtful look on their faces, and felt that they had gained something.

But then they all went about their own business.

This was an ambush, but there is still a lot of work to do.

With so many horses and food, they must be registered and stored as soon as possible. People need to be arranged to take care of the horses, and the food needs to be classified and checked for quality, whether it needs to be dried, and how it should be stored, etc.

The strategies they proposed last night must also be sorted out as soon as possible to form a comprehensive strategic system.

Su Yun just closed his eyes for a moment, then got up and continued to work.

There are so many things going on nowadays, and food shortage is just the most insignificant one.

There are so many things to do to achieve the goals set by Su Yun, but that will be a matter for the future.

Now they have not taken the first step. After all, they are trapped in an abandoned fortress with only a few hundred people.

To put it bluntly, they are no different from a group of bandits.

The current problem is not just a lack of food, but also a lack of people, money, and territory. It can be said that there is nothing that is not lacking.

Now this fortress can't accommodate many people, and there is not much land for farming, which means that its development potential is not high.

Therefore, if you want to grow and develop, you must have territory.

With land there will be people, with people there will be land for farming, with land for farming there will be soldiers, with soldiers there will be expansion.

However, although the Song Dynasty is now at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Western Xia, it is still a behemoth. Once Su Yun's identity is exposed, he will face a full-scale attack from the Western Army!

After all, the rebellion of Su Yun, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was no trivial matter. It was completely different from a civil uprising.

The Song Dynasty's rulers and ministers believed that peasant uprisings would not succeed, so they could simply send soldiers to redress the grievances. Even if the situation was difficult, it could be resolved through amnesty.

But if the officials of the Song Dynasty rebelled, it would truly shake the foundation of the court, and must be suppressed with all our strength.

Therefore, Su Yun knew very well that once he seized territory, he would be attacked with all his strength by the Song Dynasty. At that time, he would either gradually expand his territory in the confrontation with the Song Dynasty, or he would become a bandit, and it would be difficult for a bandit to succeed.

This is why it is so difficult to rebel. Without the right time, place, people and other conditions, rebelling is just seeking death.

Therefore, once an uprising breaks out, one must be prepared to deal with the encirclement and suppression! Su Yun sought out the six disciples of the Su family to discuss the matter.

Su Yun said to everyone: "After listening to your plan, I think it makes sense, but it is only for the future.

What is urgent at the moment is that we must acquire a piece of land where we can cultivate land and raise troops, so that we can have a chance to grow stronger.

If we stay in this small fortress for a long time, we will become bandits.

Therefore, as a teacher, I want to take down the Suide Army, use the Suide Army as the foundation, gradually swallow up Fuyan Road, and then invade Qinfeng Road, Hedong Road and other territories, connect them in the northwest, and use Guanzhong as the foundation for development.

Once we have control over Guanzhong, we can follow the example of the Qin State and use Guanzhong as our base to annex the Tibetan tribes and parts of Western Xia to the west, and even control the Yellow-headed Uighurs.

Especially the Hetao region, we must take it. Only with the land and horses in the Hetao region can we be reborn!
But the question now is how should we defeat the Sui De Army and deal with the attack of the Western Army. "

After Su Yun finished speaking, he looked at his disciples.

At this time, Wang Baopu stood up and said, "Sir, I have an idea."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Shouzhen, tell me quickly."

Among the Six Masters of Su Shi, each has his own abilities, but when it comes to all-round ability, we have to look to Wang Baopu.

Wang Baopu nodded and said, "It is not difficult to capture the Suide Army. After all, we have the old members of the Jingsai Army. As long as the old members of the Jingsai Army start an uprising from within, all the forts will be in our hands. However, whether we can survive the next attack from the Western Army is the most critical thing.

Therefore, we must have the right time, place and people before we can launch the campaign.

But what you said does make sense. We cannot wait too long. We must develop quickly within a certain period of time, otherwise we will become bandits.

Therefore, I have an idea, that is, let us create a good time.

And this so-called time is Xixia!"

When Wang Baopu said this, the other five disciples were all shocked.

Bi Taihua said anxiously: "Shouzhen, do you mean to lure the Xixia army to attack the northwest so that we can take advantage of the situation?

Isn't this a bit despicable? Although we want to rebel against the Song Dynasty, our purpose is to save the people.

We haven't done anything yet, but we are letting the people suffer first. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Wang Baopu shook his head and said, "No, this war is bound to happen.

Students found that Xixia had long relied on the annual tribute from the Song Dynasty. Last year, the Song court stopped the annual tribute, and Xixia might not accept it, so they might start a war to force the Song Dynasty to continue to provide the annual tribute.
Secondly, at the beginning of Empress Dowager Gao's reign, Sima Guang's appeasement policy compromised with Western Xia, which may have thought that the Song court's defensive attitude was lax.

During this period, the imperial court adjusted its border defenses, and the northwest border defense strategy had not yet stabilized. The Western Xia was very likely to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Moreover, according to my speculation, Xixia would most likely join forces with the Tibetan tribes to launch an attack. Xixia would attack Jingyuan Road from the east, and Tibetan would attack Hezhou from the west, forming a pincer attack with the intention of dispersing the Song Dynasty's northwest border defense forces.

Therefore, by then, strategic locations such as Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, Lanzhou, and Dingxi City will be directly attacked, and the Western Army will inevitably have to divide its troops to resist. At that time, it will be our opportunity to quickly occupy Suide Army and even the entire Fuyan Road.

By the time the Western Army reacts, we will have already completed actual control over Fuyan Road. If they attack again by then, we will be able to resist.

However, there is a risk that the Western Army may lose its determination to defend strategic locations such as Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, Lanzhou, and Dingxi City because of our containment.

By then, these places may fall into the hands of Tubo and Xixia, and we may become sinners of China!"
