Shao Song

At the end of autumn and early winter, the horses will have enough food for one after the fall, and the second will be before the winter, so it is always the time to use soldiers.

However, since Aguda officially launched his army against the Liao 18 years ago, the eighteen-year full-scale war, this year's autumn and early winter seems to be the most stable window of war for the high slopes of civilization in East Asia.

The reason could not be simpler. The 18-year continuous expansion war of the Great Golden Kingdom, which was accustomed to sending troops to the south after autumn, finally stopped here.

Although there are still wars in northern Shaanxi, and although the Zishui War broke out before, compared with the golden people's qi swallowing thousands of miles like tigers and wolves in the previous eighteen years, the zombies in other countries seem to be messed up, and they are still a little insignificant.

In the eyes of many people, the so-called post-autumn offensive launched by the living girl after the fall of this year is even more ridiculous like a children's game.

The slogan resounded like a mountain. As a result, the front line was not advanced. Finally, he took a few stockades from the security army from the flank, but never captured the most important and core Tanzhizhai. Now the army has ruled Wu with the imperial camp of the Song Dynasty. Jie personally led the troops to assist, and the outlying stockades were pulled back one by one, watching the security forces are also in a deadlock.

Anyway, chanting.

In fact, at this point in time when Yeluyuwei fled into the village of Zhizhi, Zhao Guanjia, who had just finished the palace test, had paid attention to the situation in Northern Shaanxi, but still settled down in Tokyo and focused most of his attention on the upcoming battle. The implementation of a package of fiscal reforms; and the Kansai envoy Yu Wen Xuzhong still sits in Chang'an untouched; Han Shizhong is only a symbolic seat in Tongzhou; Hu Yin is only in Fangzhou; even the living girl and Wu Lin are just The confrontation at Diaoyin Mountain Pass; and the Hedong Jinjun did not have the slightest coordination and coordination.

Of course, the four princes of the Kingdom of Jin had just arrived in Taiyuan, and it took more than ten days to learn about the disappearance of Yelu Yujian.

Frankly speaking, the fourth prince did not have much reaction after knowing the specific news.

Because, he didn’t know what Yelu had seen to connect Da Song and Yelu Dashi, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t have too much thoughts about the defeat of a Jin country thousands of miles away. This is a limitation of perspective. It is impossible for Wu Shu to have any opinion on his unknown wild land and unfamiliar objects, and so does Qin Hui.

Secondly, in fact, the purpose of the fourth prince has been achieved.

The truth of the matter is as cruel as Yeluyusui guessed it. From the beginning to the end of this rush incident, it was only a stone throw of Wanyanwushu for directions. Yeluyu saw this former man who squeezed all the value of use in Wushu’s eyes. It is basically a tool, a stone.

Before Nian Han wanted to kill Yu Jian as a tool man to stand up, but he didn’t have time, but Wu Shu wanted to use this stone to test Xixia’s true attitude towards the Kingdom of Jin... It is still like the empress and prince before him. Is there such a fear of over-death, or does it really have a certain rebellious heart?

By the way, does the tempting girl still consider Yan'an and his 20,000 people as part of the Kingdom of Jin?

The results were mixed.

Fortunately, Xixia Neili was still afraid of Dajin, and still distinguished the importance. This point was clearly revealed when Brother Wei Mingyun refused to see after Yu Jian went missing. And you can continue to deduce that Xixia actually wants to form an alliance with the Golden Kingdom and fight against Zhao Song.

After all, Xixia established a country for a hundred years, basically it is the history of a hundred years of war with the Song Dynasty, and all imaginary enemies and strategic threats that have always been the Song Dynasty.

The worry is that the living girl is still ambiguous... Yu Jian passed through his site to meet the Xixia people, but disappeared, and his fourth prince also arrived in Taiyuan, but the living girl just stayed still in Diaoyin Mountain.

Of course, Wanyan Sa Liyue, who stayed with the living girl in Yan'an, took the initiative to pay tribute to Taiyuan and actively reviewed what he had seen. But at the same time, Sa Liyue took the initiative to file a complaint, saying that Hedong did not care about the life and death of the Northern Shaanxi Golden Army and did not send out military resources during the fierce battle of the Northern Shaanxi Golden Army's frontline, so that the front line was frustrated and hoped that the fourth prince would deal with it impartially.

As for the city of Taiyuan, the generals such as Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Zhehe, Yelvmawu, Jiagu Wulibu and other generals also complained to Wushu, but they said that once the living girl went to war, It’s impossible for Hedong to die without saving, so military reserves, materials, and grass were sent over like flowing water... But the court had no will to go to war, and the living women also categorically forbid Hedong’s soldiers to go to northern Shaanxi, let alone beforehand. Reminder, this resulted in the fact that Hedong couldn't cooperate at all, and the battle itself had no future at all, so they had to provide basic military resources, but it was impossible to completely smash the precious food reserves.

It must be known that the times are different at this time. There has long been no need to replenish a large amount of military resources by looting alone, and other military resources are nothing else. Only military food is the most precious. Now the food here in Hedong is also in the hard work. Does it mean that you have to take it to the living girl and throw it away?

Frankly speaking, it was so complicated that it was not unexpected.

Therefore, Wanyan Wushu only hesitated for a while, and decided to follow the steps in order... but to appease the generals of Taiyuan, while personally sending a letter to the Wanyan living girl, asking the other party to stop being destined to be useless. During the war, Yan'an was handed over to Wanyan Sa Liyu, and the frontline army was handed over to Pucha Huzhan, and then came to Taiyuan to see him in person.

That's not even counted. Wu Shu also sent a letter to the newly appointed Dajin Xijing (Datong) in the north to stay behind, and his sixth brother Wanyan Chuluguan asked the latter to find the Xixia people from the north to speak and make some hints.

It's a best effort.

Besides, the transmission of information these years is really troublesome. In theory, whether Song or Jin, the fastest communication method should be 500 miles a day and night, but how can it be done in practice?

The mountain road is winding, the river is obstructed, the horses along the way are not replenished in time, it is raining, thundering, landslides, encountering someone married at the intersection...everything will delay the news.

Then I turned around, Yelu I saw that I entered Tanzhizhai on the second day of October, and then told Guo Hao according to his prepared ideas. On the fifth day of October, the news arrived at Dashun on the border of Gyeongju next door. Wu Jie in the city...Because it takes a detour to avoid the Golden Army-controlled area between the two.

It was not until the seventh day of October that the news was learned by Hu Yin from Fangzhou.

And on October 13th, Yuwen Xuzhong of Chang'an and Wanyan Wushu of Taiyuan learned of the news together... Next, it was natural that Wushu went to work with the living girl step by step, and Yuwen didn’t dare to be the master. But Xuzhong had to pass the news to Tokyo at the highest level.

It’s a lot easier now, and you can just run along the Yellow River. But in theory, it only takes more than a thousand miles and two days. In fact, it took a full four and a half days. It will be on October 18th. The news was delivered to the Privy Council of Tokyo on this day... and Zhao Jiu only learned the news this afternoon.

In other words, it took a full eleven days for the news to pass to Taiyuan, and a full 17 days for it to pass to Tokyo. And if it is to be passed back again, I am afraid it will take similar time.

Very slow, very troublesome, and too many accidents. This is also the reason why a lot of things can’t be worked out these years. It’s not good to say that it’s a trip, seventeen days, one month and one back and forth, winter Cuju games are all Two rounds have been played.

But there is really no way. The thing is so pitted and helpless. Zhao Jiu must guide the experts in a short period of time. The so-called strategic pre-judgment is reached in the air and a strategic decision is made.

The only good news is that Wanyan Wushu should be the same thing, don't talk about Erlang, Da Lang.

"Call the four lords and Li Zhongcheng to discuss the matter together." Zhao Jiu thought for a moment, knowing that he couldn't delay, so he immediately ordered in the stone pavilion. "Wang Shangshu (Wang Shu) of the Criminal Ministry and Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of War are also calling... Wait a minute, the imperial cavalry forces command Quduan, the deputy general manager of the imperial Chinese army Wang De, the commanders Zhang Jing, Qiao Zhongfu, and the imperial camp. The commanding officer Wang Yuan, and Hu Hongxiu from the Privy Council, who joined the army, also called together."

"Official family." Liu Yan, the attendant, reminded him. "Zhu Xianggong and the Privy Council are in the front of Chongwenyuan, Yushitai and the chief officials of the ministries are also outside the Xuande Building, but most of the generals are in the Yuetai Camp outside the city..."

"Then go to Wende Hall to talk, talk later, and wait for the military officer." Zhao Jiu said as he got up from the pavilion, walked two steps, but looked back at each other. "Go to find Yang Yizhong, you and Yang Yizhong should also attend for inquiries, call Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen, and training officers from the Chinese and Western military in martial arts, and then transport the jigsaw puzzle sandbox from martial arts to Wende. Highness!"

Besides, Liu Yan didn’t know what was going on, but at the beginning, he knew that he wanted to call you to discuss matters with many generals. He knew that it was not easy. When he heard that he was going to Wende Hall, he became even more nervous. He and Yang Yizhong also wanted to attend for inquiries, but they had no more thoughts, so they called Ban Zhi from outside the pavilion and hurriedly passed their orders.

As for Zhao Jiu, I'm afraid he didn't even realize it. As his own tone became more and more severe, it was obvious that he had paid more and more attention to this matter deep in his heart.

Moreover, the person walked a few steps, but then turned back to the pavilion, thinking without stopping.

"Yelü Yuwei is certainly a heavy minister of the Liao and Jin in the past, but now it is just a fugitive and a bereaved dog. Is it credible? And the remnants of the North Liao in the Dashi District of Yelu, how can they be used?"

In the evening, the ministers of the Wende Palace met. As soon as the Wenwufu came to the scene, they only saw others in attendance. They already knew that the matter should be related to the military and strategic affairs, and the ministers and important ministers knew the whole story early, so they came up. After Grand Official Lan briefly introduced the situation, Prime Minister Zhao Ding directly questioned.

Moreover, Zhao Ding directly clarified the crux of the matter as soon as he came up...To put it bluntly, Yeluyujian's behavior with him was nothing between the two great nations. The key to the problem lies in the news that Yeluyujian brought. It lies in the possibility of the golden man gifting northern Shaanxi to Xixia, and the feasibility of the plan that the remnants of the northern Liao Dynasty proposed by Yeluyuyi can attack Xixia.

That's right, it must be emphasized here. At this moment, everyone still regards Yelv Dashi and his troops as the ‘Remnants of the Northern Liao’, rather than the newly-emerged Lord of the Western Liao.

"The minister also thought that the Jinren might not behave like this..." As soon as the prime minister's words fell, Liu Ji, the deputy minister of the provincial capital, also gave up his hand. "This move is too unbelievable. In this non-Warring States period, where is there a strategy to lay the blame on Dongshui in several counties?"

"But what if you really did it?" Xifu Deputy Minister Chen Gui immediately frowned upon hearing this, and he rarely refuted it on the spot. "This kind of thing is somewhere between the two, but can it be possible to bet on military affairs?"

"The minister has a word." Zhang Jun, the chief minister, immediately stated his position after a little thought. "It means that regardless of the counties in northern Shaanxi, connecting the West Liao Dynasty is also right! Since ancient times, the two Hans merged with the northern captives, and the Western Regions were the key, and the arm of the northern captives was broken. This is also the reason to deter Xixia."

The four opposing parties came up to face each other with completely different opinions, which made the atmosphere a little dignified, but the wise people in the hall almost understood that this was just because the two sides had different thinking directions and different positions caused different attitudes, rather than so-called party disputes.

After all, after Lu Haowen's resignation, the relationship between Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun was significantly eased, and the relationship between Chen Gui and Liu Ji has always been recognized as the so-called "Nanyang Faction"-Liu Ji has recommended favors to Chen Gui.

Returning to the matter itself, Zhao Ding and Liu Ji were both in charge. Naturally, they hope that northern Shaanxi can be stable. They just go to the ‘round battle’ as the official said before, instead of really making a big fight. Only in this way can the country focus on the fiscal reforms that it has begun, so that the country can fully recover and completely untie the terrible fiscal yoke around the country's neck. But once there is a major event in the Northwest, then if Xixia gets involved and the Northern Liao Dynasty returns, there will be a big war, which will cause the country's hard-earned little money to be wasted.

At that time, I want to get my finances back on track, but I don't know that I will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

As for the two princes, in fact, those who know them a little bit know that they refuted that they are both fair and fair, and their starting points are not the same... Chen Shuxiang is recognized as the first defender, and in the military, he is a safe response. Now that there is a flaw in the Northwest, he is of course opposed to being indifferent, and Zhang Shuxiang, in fact, has a character there, and he is a little bit happy, but he doesn't know that it is the dispute between the northwest of the country. What thoughts aroused in his heart? Are you dreaming of Zhuge Wuhou's dream again?

But the problem is that after Zhang Jun spoke with expectation this time, Zhao Guanjia just said nothing, and didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Officials."

The difficulty of the matter came to be clear, and Cheng Li Guang in Yushi couldn't think of where to spray for a while, so that he was thinking about it, but after hesitating for a while, Hu Shijiang, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was unable to hide and stepped forward helplessly. "There was no major disaster for the autumn harvest this year. It was because Jingdong played fast and skillfully did not delay the autumn harvest. However, if you use soldiers in places like northern Shaanxi, the difficulty of transportation is not comparable to that of Central Plains and Guanzhong! It has to be dispatched from Bashu, but Bashu is still half-compensating for the campaign for the Battle of Yaoshan this year. Shouldn’t it be necessary to repay the debt and then borrow from the Bashu people?"

Of course, this statement is also a big truth that does not need to be argued, and it is at the heart of Zhang Jun and Zhao Jiu.

However, Zhang Jun frowned and hesitated to say, Zhao Jiu finally said: "Then what should be done according to Hu Shangshu? What if the Jinren really draws Xixia people into the game from the land of northern Shaanxi?"

"Repair the docks along the route, collect grain on the spot, sit and watch the situation, and talk about other things..." Hu Shi will face each other earnestly. "The minister is the chief officer of the military department, and it is incumbent to go to Kansai and his party to preside over this matter personally."

Zhao Jiu frowned slightly, before he had time to answer, but unexpectedly, one person immediately appeared, but it was the former chief official of northern Shaanxi and today's Shangshu Wangshu of the Criminal Ministry.

"Officials, ministers have something to say about the Chinese martial arts with the official family and the temple, and have a question to ask you Xianggong and Hu Shangshu." Wang Shu handed over. "Please promise from the officials."

"Calling Qing to come is to ask Qing to wait and talk freely." Zhao Jiu in the throne immediately raised his hand to indicate.

"Yes." Xingbu Shangshu Wang Shu bowed his head, then turned around and looked around, and said with a serious face. "Dear friends and colleagues, the lower officials have a word. In the past, when the officials were in charge of the overall situation of northern Shaanxi, he heard the message personally... Of course, Li Ganshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, did offer bribes to Nianhan, asking the neighboring Song and Liao native land to be Nian Han did have the theory that Yinshan Zuo Jin Liao’s native land was gifted to Xixia...In other words, this matter is by no means groundless! Yelu Yujian is the dog of the mourning family, but it does not mean that his words should not be taken seriously."

Zhao Ding and Liu Ji were solemn, and many in the hall became serious.

Let’s also say that this matter is obviously a military-state issue and is more important to military strategy. Wang Shu, as the chief officer of the Criminal Ministry, has serious matters to do to revise and publish the "Xing Tong". It is reasonable to say that he should not be called here to participate in this meeting. However, the officials still called him up to this point, and no one else raised any objections. It was nothing more than because this person once controlled the overall military and political situation in Northern Shaanxi, and hoped that he would provide relevant intelligence, information, and opinions.

Now that Wang Shu has clearly provided his views as an expert and important minister on northern Shaanxi issues, he has to further consider the possibility that Xixia people are really involved in northern Shaanxi.

"That's the case, we can also deep ditch and high base, prepare food and strengthen soldiers, in order to cope with all changes." In a serious atmosphere, Hu Shijiang responded earnestly and insisted on his position.

"How can I just deep ditch and high base, prepare food and strengthen soldiers? Why not send out the security army and the Dingbian army together and add it?" Quduan, the imperial cavalry army who just returned from Jingdong, couldn't help it.

Hearing Qu Duan's mouth, Wang Shu, who was about to refute Hu Shijiang's chest, felt suffocated for a while, and was unable to speak. However, Hu Shijiang seemed a little bit unable to understand, and then seriously inquired:

"What is the meaning of Qudu Unified?"

"Aren't the Jurchens giving gifts to the Xixia people?" Qu Duan stood in the shadow of the hall in the evening with a sneer. "By the way, let's send out the security guards and the Dingbian army as an addition. It's not good to weaken the momentum... It seems that there is no big country system."

Hu Shijiang finally realized that the other party was mocking maliciously and suppressing his anger: "Qu Dutong, this is talking about national affairs!"

"I'm also talking about national events." Qu Duan replied boldly. "The security guards, the Dingbian army, and the North Three Villages of Gyeongju are actually more convenient to connect with Yan'an. Since they have to deep ditch and high bases and save money and food, how can they not be sent out? Hasn't Sima Sanggong also sent it? In fact, I want to say that Hu Shangshu still doesn’t understand the geography of the Kansai region. If you want to save food and energy, the Huaide Army, Zhenrong Army, Xi’an and Huizhou should all be sent out. If you want to save trouble, the whole Hehuang is west of Lanzhou. It can also be sent out! If you still feel that food is costly, the entire Kansai will be sent out, and only guard the Tongguan, Dasanguan and other passes. Wouldn't it be more appropriate?"

Hu Shijiang was startled for a while, and then anger surged, and he wanted to turn around to impeach this person, and even Li Guang was finally about to take action.

At this moment, Prime Minister Zhao Ding and Shu Xiang Zhang Jun were one step ahead and scolded: "Qu Duan, this is the lobby of the Wende Hall. If you have any more paradoxes, get out immediately!"

"Qu Duan! It's a good discussion for you to come here, it's not such a nonsense!"

"So that the two grandpas can know!" Qu Duan was not afraid of being scolded by the two grandpas, but continued to face each other loudly in the hall. "For me and other people in Kansai, putting Xixia into Yan'an is also a paradox that the world is waiting for one!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and many people were shocked, but Qu Duan continued to roar the hall there:

"The Xianggong and Shangshu are so happy that they are so happy, but before the sun has set, they used to look back and see whether so many Westerners in the temple are red or white? Ask in person what we Kansai people think?! Not today Even Yelu Dashi broke Xixia, and Xixia did not say that Xixia prevented our cavalry from wooing Tibetan horses. It only said that Yan'an was a mansion. Before, there were a lot of gold people and heavy female soldiers. I was helpless, but it was nothing. How can I make it possible? What Xixia dog did you get?! Are we Guanxi people actually afraid of Xixia people? According to me, Hu Shangshu is from Changzhou, and the army is insufficient. Let Changzhou increase the amount of money, and if the increase is not enough, I will borrow it from the ordinary state. I have been paying taxes for a hundred years, and I am afraid that I will have no money or food? Why should I sit and watch Yan'an being passed on like goods? Changzhou people are human, but Yanan people are not human?

There was a roar, Hu Shijiang's face flushed, but he forcibly held back it, even a few mates, and a Yushi Zhongcheng was also speechless...because, when Qu Duan was roaring, many Western soldiers in the palace were born. Generals, since Wang De, Zhang Jing and Qiao Zhongfu had already led many people to gather behind Qu Duan. It was the imperial capital Tong Wang Yuan, who had always been exhausted, also moved his face to Qu Duan twice. step.

In other words, Qu Duan's remarks seem ridiculous, but there are opinions that cannot be ignored inside-people from Kansai, especially military commanders from Kansai, firmly cannot tolerate Yan'an being controlled by the feud Xixia.

"Are you over howling?!"

At this moment, Zhao Guan's house finally made a cold voice. "You can't speak well? Must be so yin and yang?"

"The minister is ashamed..." Qu Duan's scalp was numb, and he quickly walked out of the shadow and saluted respectfully. "But the minister is really angry and unbearable."

"Just wait and wait. I didn't ask you just now because it didn't ask you, but it wasn't your turn." Zhao Jiu ignored the other party, but looked at Wang Shu again. "Doesn't Wang Shangshu still have to ask something?"

"The minister doesn't need to ask anymore." Wang Shuru just glanced at the curved end of his side, feeling helpless as if he had eaten a fly. "The minister just wanted to ask Hu Shangshu. Although his words have some truth, but how do we Guanxi people think of Xixia people? Yan'an is an important and large town in Guanxi, and it is the core of several counties in northern Shaanxi. In the hands of the people, the golden people are powerful and the living female soldiers are heavy. It is true that they will not be able to take them for a while, but if the golden people are going to leave, the place will be with Xixia, but the court will have to sit and watch... I am afraid that the people of Guanxi will not feel like it. stable."

"You and Qu Duan have finally agreed on Yan'an at this time." Zhao Jiu finally grinned and went to see Hu Shijiang again. "Hu Shangshu, don't be angry. We are right to discuss things with utilitarianism in the temple. But we must understand in our hearts that if we go from the center to the center, it is the wealth and life of the tens of thousands of people. There must be a choice... that What do you say? The overall situation in the chaotic world is dusty, falling on the shoulders of mortals, and it is the weight of the mountains. It may be that you will be crushed...Today's matter is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons. If it is really impossible or insufficient, then It's Qu Dutong who yells, it's just screaming."

"The minister is not howling in chaos." Qu Duanfu spoke first when Hu Shijiang was about to answer. "Officials, if the Jin people really want to abandon Yan'an and lead the Xixia people to the past, the minister is willing to be the pioneer and regain Yan'an... Yan'an's geography is mine, and the people's heart is mine. There is no reason for the Western soldiers to not die in this battle. ."

Zhao Jiu just nodded indiscriminately.

Then, the civil and military officials who were called roughly spoke in turn, but they still held their own opinions. Moreover, because of the clashes between the chief executives and Qu Duan, Wang Shu, and Hu Shijun, the core arguments of the matter focused on two issues.

One is the truthfulness of the news brought by Yelu Yumi, that is, whether the Jinren will really send Yan'an to Xixia, the two sides are constantly discussing.

The other is that once it was assumed that Jin Renzhen gave Yan'an to the Xixia people, and then Xixia Renzhen joined the battle. Between civil and military, the center and the officers of the Western origin, there was a clear stand... the center and the civil servants. I really don't want to go to war with a big country again, and it is likely to be a decisive battle with a large army. It is too expensive and it is not worth the loss. However, the military ministers, especially those with Western background, have a clear attitude. Once the Xixia people come over, they can't bear it!

The former is rational and the latter is perceptual. No one has any problems. It is a structural contradiction.

The few Kansai people like Yang Yizhong who choose to be rationally prepared are not enough to change the balance between the two sides.

After listening to the opinions for a long time, Zhao Jiu never made a statement, but the sky gradually darkened, so the argument stopped for a while, and Ban Zhi and the servants came in and lighted the lights.

The first candle holder was lit, and still only one candle was placed according to the rules. One candle illuminates a small area in the hall. Zhao Guanjia saw a familiar face under the firelight, his heart moved slightly, and then directly named: "Hu Canjun The Qing family seems to have not said anything, I don’t know how to look at this matter?"

Hu Hongxiu was caught off guard, and then hurried out of the queue, only to find that it was pitch black in the middle, unable to advance or retreat for a while.

"Just talk under the light." Zhao Jiu was also a little tired.

"Thanks to the official." Hu Hongxiu was careful, and then gave a hurried salute before hurriedly speaking. "The main point of the matter is not that the words that I have seen are not credible, nor what we think inside..."

Zhao Jiu was dumb right away... the rest of the people also rushed up, so, wouldn't the rest of them talk about the evening for nothing?

"It's not as good as I am!"

A familiar voice even made a mockery directly in secret.

"Officials." Hu Hongxiu heard these reactions and explained quickly. "The minister doesn't mean that we shouldn't consider whether it is credible or not, or ignore our internal differences..."

"You might as well leave it alone!"

The rushing turned into a sneer, and the previous person was even more ridiculing.

"It doesn't matter, speak well, speak slowly." Although Zhao Jiu felt a bit ridiculous, but he still maintained a good appearance, because he just remembered when the lamp was turned on, this person is Wang Xianggong's foundation, both qualifications and credit. Yes, but I have always joined the army, and I often make calls, so in fact I have some intentions to promote and use. "What does Qing mean?"

"Chen meant..." Hu Hongxiu faced each other earnestly. "Don’t just guess whether it’s credible, don’t imagine whether the Jurchens will send out Yan’an, let alone whether Xixia people will be affected by Yan’an. Only by peeling off one layer can you be condescending and deal with it calmly."

In the silence, Zhao Jiu thoughtfully: "What is the outermost layer?"

"It's the remnants of the Northern Liao Dynasty!" Hu Hongxiu arched his hands. "If the remnants of the Northern Liao Dynasty really have the military strength of Xixia, then Yelu Dashi is indeed a hero, and indeed has revenge, then regardless of whether his Jurchen can transfer to Yan'an, Xixia people will not accept it, why can't it be directly connected? What about the Liao Dynasty? Besides, don’t we always think that the horses will be isolated and restricted by the Xixia and the Jinren? If you can break through the summer, the cavalry will be worry-free.

"The Xixia people have deep roots and haven't been beaten for a hundred years. How can they be so easy to fight?" In a moment of silence, Zhao Ding suddenly shook his sleeves, but he immediately realized that he hadn't been beaten for a hundred years because Xixia had always had a stable ally behind him. Daliao, covering behind Xixia in all directions, immediately added. "In the final analysis, I remember that I heard the news of Yelu Dashi the year before. It only works in Mobei, with only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses. How can it be possible to have the strength to compete with Xixia within a year? And Mobei and Xixia Across a thousand miles of desert, how can you really fiddle with it?"

"Then naturally you can take a step back and think about things without Northern Liao's assistance... But should you always contact with the assumption that there is a Northern Liao army?" Hu Hongxiu quickly argued. "Whether Yelu Dashi has become a climate is not because we are here thinking that if there is not, there will be nothing, thinking that there will be something, he is there, and you will know when you look in front of him; as for whether he can come from behind Xixia, more It is determined by the local geography, not by our words..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ding finally let out a cry.

After this sigh, Hu Hongxiu of course flinched for a while, but many shrewd figures in the palace had already awakened.

Moreover, Hu Hongxiu’s methodology is of course the best and the most correct. There is nothing to say about this, so it should be done like this... But this technical military bureaucrat did not even realize that sometimes the logic is completely correct and it may not necessarily be political. Correct.

Are these xianggong, shangshu, doctrine, and doctrine all fools?

When Hu Hongxiu presented his methodology, these people actually quickly figured it out in their hearts. But the problem is that today's dispute is not essentially about what to do, but about whether to focus on military activities or financial activities in the next period of time.

It is a typical controversy between conservative and aggressive.

In the case of White Horse and Shaoxing, the imperial court eliminated a large number of conservatives and determined the main line for the future battle. In other words, Zhao Jiu's fundamental purpose at that time was this, not a second sage. But to be honest, conservatives are not necessarily wrong, just different lines, and conservative things are relatively speaking, unless there is only one person left, you will never lack conservatives.

Therefore, even if conservatives on the comprehensive and basic line were eliminated on a large scale at that time, there will still be shallow and established strategies, and there will still be disputes.

People like Zhao Ding, Liu Ji, Hu Shijiang, and even Yang Yizhong are not maliciously obstructing, nor pretending to be confused, but expressing their opinions; the same goes for Zhang Jun, Chen Gui, Wang Shu, and Qu Duan. People are not maliciously provoking or deliberately attacking personally, they are also expressing their stance.

Political voting is the most effective and direct means of resolving political differences and influencing decision-making in the normal state of the peace era.

But the problem is that now Zhao Guanjia seems to be a little shaken and suspicious because of the rush of the news and the seriousness of the matter, and even seems to be a little confused and confused. At the same time, the expressions of the relevant ministers did not lead to an overwhelming voting result... Two mates versus two mates, one Shangshu versus one Shangshu. Only the Prime Minister has the most power, but he has to consider many Kansai-born officers. Representatives of the military and public opinion.

So, things happen to be in a delicate balance.

Of course, let’s be fair. If Lu Yihao is replaced here, this kind of large-scale voting will not occur at all, because people who oppose him cannot appear here; replacing it with a more classical Da Song elite scholar-officials would have long lost their hats. I slapped him and asked the official Zhao, would you choose me or him? The most interesting thing is, of course, meeting Wen Yanbo who likes to tell the truth. This kind of person does not bother him to debate this kind of superficial issue. He goes straight up to pick up Zhao Guan’s house, and then strips his pants. Let everyone see clearly.

But the problem is, whether it’s Zhao Ding or Zhang Jun, it’s not that Lu Haowen was educated, and then he met someone else who took the initiative to give up his seat, so he wanted to build on the past, create a vigorous vibe, and make a sense of reason. Are the people who talk about morality, utilitarianism, and original science in the right?

In particular, Zhao Ding himself was indeed recognized after Jianyan, the ministers’ personal morals and political affairs. Zhang Jun, a Sichuan native, also wanted to mix up the reputation of Zhuge Wuhou, and even the Zhao official family wanted to pretend to be the ancestor. ...This has led to everyone being very reasonable and willing to follow logic to do things.

As a result, Hu Hongxiu's words unconsciously acted as a final word he had never thought of.

However, at this moment, whether Hu Hongxiu or the ministers, there are even more unexpected things.

That is, from the last level, Yelu Dashi, the remnant of the Northern Liao Dynasty, has indeed become a climate, and it can indeed attack Xixia from behind.

At the same time, Zhao Guanjia actually realized this from the very beginning.

How did you realize it?

The answer is cheating.

Maybe Zhao Jiu hadn’t noticed it himself. He actually vaguely had some impressions of the name Yelu Dashi, and it was the impression he had before crossing. He vaguely knew that this was a remarkable character, and he had already believed that this Yelu Dashi was a real climate. The male lord, not Yelu Yujian blowing it out in order to survive.

No way, who made the four words of Yelu Dashi so easy to remember?

In comparison, it is about Bulehan or something, Zhao Jiu only pays attention to it because of the region and ethnicity.

In addition, Zhao Jiu also has a perspective that no one present can think of, that is, he has a natural and broad geographical horizon of a traverser...All those present are the elites of the empire, but Zhao officials dare to pack a ticket, and only he can paint. Come out of the world map.

And not necessarily anyone is more familiar with the geographic distribution of the Mongolian Plateau and the Western Regions than he is. It's as if he had been able to correct himself without a teacher before, which seemed to be difficult for many high-end intellectuals in the Song Dynasty to ascend to the sky.

Therefore, he knew from the beginning that the place of'Hamili' was behind Xixia, and knew that Yelu Dashi could dig into the Yellow River Xitao area in the hinterland of Xixia all the way along the Hexi Corridor.

Pinching is feasible!

Not to mention, Xixia has a population of only 3 million, and all the small countries in the country that can go to the battlefield to be civil servants with only 500,000 men can survive this kind of left and right attack. It doesn't matter if he really survives, because as long as the Hexi Corridor is opened up and the alliance with Yelv Dashi is reached, then Zhao Jiu will receive a steady stream of war horse supplements from Yelv Dashi, and even a huge amount of commercial wealth.

Don't forget, the Hexi Corridor is the main road of the Silk Road.

This is cheating, it is the natural welfare of the traversers, but Zhao Jiu knows these possibilities.

In fact, it is precisely based on this cheating look that he will unconsciously put this kind of stuff on paper after seeing the keywords of'Yelü Dashi','Hamili', and'Friction'. As an important political issue, it was immediately pushed to the important ministers to discuss and vote.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Jiu actually didn’t care if the gold man didn’t give Yan’an to Xixia at all. It was a matter of complete beauty whether or not to give it to Xixia. Whether it was Li Ganshun’s matter or not, he realized from the beginning that this was a rare occurrence. Weaken or even annihilate the strategic opportunity of Xixia.

The destruction of Xixia has always been one of his ‘main task’ deep down in his heart.

It just said that he had always been preparing to eliminate the gold before turning to Xixia, but now it has become possible to eliminate Xixia or weaken Xixia to obtain a strategic advantage over gold.

Connecting Yelu Dashi and opening up the Hexi Corridor is the top priority!

To greatly weaken Xixia, controlling the horse breeding area is the second most important task!

And if you can take the opportunity to destroy Xixia, don’t say that the fiscal reform has been delayed for one year or two. It is worth the delay for three and five years, because this will enable Zhao Song to obtain a strategic high ground against the Kingdom of Jin, and it will also make the Kingdom of Jin Strategic pressure has increased dramatically.

Moreover, if it succeeds faster, with the supplement of the Silk Road, fiscal reforms may not be seriously affected.

In today's meeting, what Zhao Jiu wants is actually for people like Hu Hongxiu to stand up, give himself confidence, tell him that he can do that, and then tell others that the official should do it.

"My intention has been decided." The expressionless Zhao Guanjia's thoughts were settled, and suddenly he spoke in the throne. "The matter of Yan'an concerns the hearts of the people of Guanxi, so it is possible to take precautions first. Moreover, Li Ganshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, served as a tiger, but killed his wife and son for Yelu's son-in-law, and isolated the party and fan for the tribe of Song Dynasty. What I used was that I wrote to him and he turned a deaf ear...His name for his virtues is shallow, from Japan to the river, it is known all over the world, I am the emperor, and I want to teach him for a long time!"

The civil and military below were stunned for a while, and each of them was speechless.

"This batch of national debt is afraid-don't save the money obtained from Jiaozi... in the name of replenishing munitions along the river to buy grain and munitions." Zhao Jiu saw that there was no objection, so he continued to order. "All the hard work is saved."

"Yes." This time, Zhao Ding didn't even say anything. Although he would be wrong, he had expected this scene a long time ago.

"Yes." Liu Ji also bowed his head in response.

"Hu Quan."

"The minister is here." Hu Quan, who had been confused about his joining this meeting, also hurried out.

"Appropriately describe Xixia's crimes and Li Ganshun's evil deeds in the Dibao, and appropriately describe the importance of Yan'an...but you should be moderate, don't be too impatient, and discuss according to the current situation and the development of information, understand?"

"Understand." Hu Quan immediately woke up.

"You can also send some messages on the Di Bao, only saying that the imperial court bought grain for military use in the Shaanluo area along the west of the river, and set a suitable and fixed price there to tell those merchants who are willing to ship grain to Shaanluo area. There is definitely a profit." Zhao Jiu ordered again, starting with Hu Quan, but at the end, telling both of them.

"This matter is simple, and there is a precedent, the officials can rest assured." Zhao Ding has answered calmly.

"The Privy Council, together with the imperial battalion and the martial arts school, made a big strategic record. Needless to say, Yan'an must have a strategy of attacking the Hexi and Yinshan with the Yelu Dashi, and be prepared for it."

"Officials don't worry." Zhang Jun stepped forward and asked again. "Should you let the minister go through Guanzhong first for scheduling?"

"No need." Zhao Jiu said indifferently in the throne. "Don't stun the snake, wait for it to change, and execute it in secret."

"Yes." Zhang Jun responded quickly.

At this time, Zhao Guanjia hesitated for a moment. After pressing one thing forcibly, he looked around before him and continued to inquire seriously: "The last thing, who wants to be my Bowanghou and Dingyuanhou? Go out of the river with Yu Jian. Huang, cross Qinghai and go to Hami to see Yelu Dashi? This matter can't be delayed!"

Zhao Jiu went to find Yu Yunwen while talking...this was the best candidate in his mind at the beginning...and from this point of view, it can be seen that Zhao Jiu actually had a decision deep in his heart from the beginning.

However, the candlelight in the temple was swaying, the light was illegible, and the disadvantage of using only one candle for a candlestick was undoubtedly exposed. Zhao Guanjia did not find his confidant Xiaoyu Tanhua for a while, and Xiaoyu Tanhua did not see the official encouragement gaze, Naturally, it was too late to make a statement immediately, which made the scene that was quite imposing momentarily short of breath.

But at this time, after only a short breath, a young civil official who was already under the light stepped forward and bowed his head to face each other under the light: "It is incumbent for the editor and repair officer of the Privy Council to lead the military officer Hu Hongxiu. Westward for the festival!"

Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, but did not react for a while.

But Qu Duan couldn't help but laughed: "Hu Cenjun, you are not good at talking, how can you be an envoy? Don't forget, there is no good face between us and the Liao people. By then, it will be better than tongue. of."

Hu Hongxiu raised his head and confronted earnestly: "Qu Dutong, the lower officials thought that if Yelu Dashi is indeed in Hami, and there are strong soldiers, then the matter can be made because Yelu Dashi is obsessed with the revival of the old state, and that it may be against him by attacking Xixia. There are some advantages. These things cannot be changed by the tongue. The next official will be sincere and honest with words... He will come, he will come, he will come, he will not come, but he will never be insulting to his mission!"

Qu Duan let out a cold snort ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ seemed to sneer.

Zhao Jiu finally laughed: "I understand, so I will go west to Qinghai with the title of Hu Bianxiu and the rank of Minister of War. I will see this Yelu Dashi for me! Then I will be honest... Ask him for me, do you know if I am already? Welcome back to the Second Saint, and Yelu Yanxi was driven into the flesh by the Liao people as early as three years ago? Would you like to hunt Lingxia with me and take the land of Hexi to support the west and return to the front base? Then Do you remember what the reed flowers look like outside Linhuang Mansion?"

"Chen, please accept orders!"

Hu Hongxiu bowed his head to face each other.
