People are often like this, when they are at a disadvantage, they will struggle without hesitation, and when they just see the possibility of victory, they immediately have more thoughts in their hearts. Wang Anshi is not exempt from vulgarity, he not only wants to continue to implement the new policy now, but also has to think about how to get along with the emperor and the old party in the future.

If the imperial power is too strong, he, the prime minister, will become an ornament, which is obviously more threatening than the old party. So now he no longer regards the implementation of the new policy as a priority, but has begun to choose between the emperor and the old party for profit.

Once a person's thoughts change, their words and deeds will also change, and the choices they make will naturally change. Supporting the emperor to take Western Xia in one fell swoop was not in the interests of the new party. In that case, the imperial power will take the opportunity to rise and rise, and no one can stop it.

It is intellectually unreasonable to let go of Xixia like this, after all, this enemy has tossed the Great Song Dynasty for decades and spent countless dollars, and he must not let it go if he has the opportunity to weaken.

Fight or release, it is estimated that Wang Anshi is also very tormented in his heart. It can also be seen from the final decision that he is in turmoil, but fortunately, he has not been completely swallowed up by the desire for power, and completely disregards the interests of the country and the nation.

"If the imperial court really chooses to talk to Western Xia, where will the lord go?" When Jiang Erlang learned the news, he didn't seem very surprised.

"If Western Xia wants to preserve its strength between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Dynasties, it is not so simple to negotiate with a few words and conditions, and I don't expect the current situation to change before winter. In fact, the ancients still had clouds, and they would not be subject to the orders of foreign kings. Even if the imperial court wants to negotiate peace, it will have to take a few months to reach Huangzhou, and it will take another twenty years to go to Liangzhou. If this official happens to lead his troops to the battle, it is still not considered to be disobeying the holy order. If the Western Xia saw that the Great Song army was still attacking, what do you think they would think? Waiting to be killed will definitely not, and the two sides will have to fight. They have suffered a great loss from their own officials, and they have to make up for it from somewhere else. If you can't find your own official to retaliate, the border troops will become targets. And then...... Hey, hey, hey...... Peace talks are tantamount to talking in vain, and after a pot of porridge, we have to continue to sit down and continue talking. ”

Hong Tao really didn't care much about this matter, because due to the constraints of transportation and communication conditions, the peace talks were a very time-consuming matter, and it was still a difficult thing to implement thoroughly. If someone deliberately makes trouble, I really can't understand who started the war first, and in the end it will be a mess.

Doing anything else is a side hustle, taking advantage of loopholes, making trouble afterwards, and stirring up trouble everywhere is the business. This trait is best suited to being a diplomat and a war commander, and the shamelessness and finger-pointing of the deer are the common denominator of both professions.

"Is your next step going east or west?" Jiang Erlang knows the boss's style of acting, and he has to think hard about how to save people, but when it comes to harming people, he must talk endlessly, and he will never procrastinate in words and deeds.

"Squeezing too hard in the east will force the Western Xia to fall to the Northern Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has not yet grasped one enemy and two enemies. A qualified general must not only win on the battlefield, but also know how to make profits for the country. Let's go to the west to see in the next step, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Shazhou, Guazhou, open up this corridor, the caravan of the Western Regions can go straight to Liangzhou, and then enter the Great Song Dynasty from Lanzhou, and the caravan of our dynasty can also reach the countries of the Western Regions through this road. But no matter how they come or go, they must pass through Liangzhou City. This official gives you courage, guess what Liangzhou will be like in ten years? ”

In fact, after talking for a long time, this is the most fundamental reason why Hong Tao is desperate to occupy Liangzhou City, and he does not hesitate to use high-tech building materials such as cement to build the city, to put it bluntly, it is still to make money.

Liangzhou was the eastern starting point of the Hexi Corridor, a trade route that later became known as the Silk Road. It was because of this road that the Tang Dynasty came to the prosperous era, which shows the importance of a trade route to the ancient Central Plains Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty lost the land Silk Road, so they had to find another way to attach importance to maritime commerce, and it was in this way that they could have enough money and food to resist the invasion of the northern nomads.

From the perspective of later generations, the continuous blood transfusion of maritime trade not only maintained the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also created the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty. So much so that this dynasty, which had been fighting non-stop since the founding of the country, alone shook the three enemies of Liao, Western Xia, and Jin, who were relatively strong in military value, and even the Mongols, who swept across the Eurasian continent at that time, took forty or fifty years to succeed.

Hong Tao wondered if if he could give full play to the natural merchant potential of the Song people if he added another land trade route to the Northern Song Dynasty. As long as he guides and guides him a little, this dynasty with multiplied power is likely to radiate greater combat effectiveness, and maybe it will not give the Mongols a chance to start a business, and directly strangle this threat in the cradle.

Compared to the future Mongols, the Liao, Western Xia, and Jin were all scabies. If you want to completely save the Song Dynasty, it is useless to treat skin diseases alone, and you have to prescribe the right medicine from the root.

"Obey the order, the last general will immediately send someone to the west to find out the truth of Ganzhou!" Compared with the various twists and turns in the court, Jiang Erlang prefers real swords and real guns, especially the very clear instructions of Lord Shuaisi, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart when he implements them.

"Wait! Although there is no danger to defend from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, the road is more than 500 miles, and all the way is enemy territory, and there is still a supply problem with the new army alone. Once the logistics channel is cut off by the enemy, although it will not be completely annihilated, it will still take a lot of effort. If we want to go west, we must find a reliable ally to go with, not only to open the way for the new army, but also to protect our flanks and rear. ”

Relying on the less than 5,000 new troops in his hands to fight all the way to Dunhuang? Hong Tao really didn't have such courage. The new army is not a robot even if its weapons are advanced, its combat radius is only a little farther than the traditional Song Dynasty infantry, 300 miles is safer, and 500 miles is a bit risky.

"Isn't your lord going to summon Xi Luosa? But he is still too busy to take care of himself, will he give up the position of the owner of Qingtang and go down the mountain to help? Jiang Erlang quickly thought of a person, it seems that only the imperial court and Qingtang soldiers can achieve this ability, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to count on it, but the Qingtang soldiers can't seem to be counted on either.

"That's right, this official has an agreement with him in advance, whether he is a homeless man or the new owner of Qingtang, he must fulfill the contract, otherwise this official will lead troops to destroy him first! This time, you have to trouble Erlang to bring someone to help him stabilize the situation in Qingtang as soon as possible, and at the same time, it is also equivalent to creating conditions for the new army to advance westward. Think about it, 5,000 Qingtang cavalry with 5,000 new troops, isn't it very invincible? Hey, hey, hey......"

Others can forget Xiluosa, who is far away in Qingtang, but Hong Tao can't forget it. This is a big investment for him, and the cost has not been recovered, so why forget! As for the problem of the Qingtang Civil War, it is easy to solve, and you don't have to personally lead troops to help, so you will be blamed by the imperial court.

It only takes a walk by the special forces, and it is estimated that the main problem will be solved. The reason why special forces are called special forces is not that their combat methods are different from ordinary people, and they are the most suitable for dealing with such a chaotic situation.

"Is Qingtang Bing credible?" Jiang Erlang is not used to fighting with outsiders, and he always feels that he is not very sure.

"No one in the world can be trusted, not including you and me. Don't think about whether people are credible or not, but think about how much benefit the matter has for both parties, and whether this benefit can be equalized. If this official can help him sit firmly in Qingtang and expand his sphere of influence, do you think Xi Luosa will oppose it? ”

Hong Tao has said this question countless times, and it seems that he has to continue to talk about it. The concept is not something that can be changed, and it will last for one or two generations before it can be effective.

"There will be a sentence in the end, I don't know whether to say it or not......" Jiang Erlang has not figured it out on this issue, he is personally willing to believe Lord Shuaisi, why should everything be measured by interests?

"If the official wants to say that he shouldn't talk about it, won't you ask?"

"When the adults didn't cure the sin of Xi Luoza, did they think of the current situation?" It is the norm to be scolded by Lord Shuaisi.,As long as you can still be scolded, it means that you can continue to talk.,If Lord Shuai Si and you are smiling, it's best to run quickly.。

“…… That's a must, this official is the same palace of the seven stars, you mortals are in the eyes of the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years! Hong Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"The last will retire!" Jiang Erlang is worthy of being a special soldier, his body is extremely athletic, and before Hong Tao's smile fully bloomed, he burst out of the big tent in a flash.
