[The third update, yesterday's missing chapter was filled.] Ask for a red ticket and collect it. 】

At the time of the Battle of Weiyuan, from Guwei to Weiyuan, the transfer of grain and military materials for more than 100 miles had exhausted half of Qinzhou's Tai people. And that's just a month's worth of people and soldiers, a total of 5,000 men. Before Suide and Luo Wu could achieve partial self-sufficiency, it would take at least two to three years for the people to be requisitioned on the Yanyan Road to transport grain.

In this way, it is a disaster for the people of Yanyan, and it is also a disaster for the local officials.

What kind of virtue the local officials are, Han Gang couldn't be clearer. If you don't do anything, you can take advantage of it, except for some who are expected to be motivated, most of the other officials are just like eating and waiting for death. Once you want to organize the people to transport grain and straw, or simply drive the people to the front line to build a city, you have to work for them, and it is impossible to make them not complain.

Besides, there is also a Sima Guang guarding Chang'an, staring at almost every corner of Shaanxi with a magnifying glass. As long as there is a little wind and grass in the place, he will definitely be the first to jump out and speak.

People are like this, they always see what they want to see, Sima Guang is like this, Han Gang and Han Jiang are the same-send troops to Luo Wu, Han Gang sees the crisis, Han Jiang and Chong Ge see victory - if there is anything contrary to their expectations, they will find a way to erase it. The difference, however, is that fools are erased from their own thoughts, while smart people are erased from their words.

Whether Sima Guang and Han Jiang are smart or stupid, Han Gang doesn't know, but he can clearly understand this, and in fact, his views will not be too biased. Therefore, his criticism was not focused on the victory or defeat of the battle, but mainly focused on the issue of grain transshipment. No matter when and where a war is fought, as long as we cannot rely on food to the enemy like the Tibetan people, logistics and transportation will always be the most problematic and difficult link. Criticizing the logistical problem is one batch at a time, and it will never be wrong.

"The soldiers can't do without food, before sending out the troops, we still have to see if we can transport enough grain to Luowu, and on the premise of not causing civil unrest in Yanyan!" Han Gang summed it up firmly, and behind every sentence, the word confidence was written.

To be trustworthy, you must first show confidence. I can't trust myself, how can I trust people.

Han Gang came from Shaanxi and participated in military affairs. In the minds of ordinary people, they naturally know the geography and military affairs of Shaanxi. The self-confidence shown by Han Gang and Wang Anshi between questions and answers completely confirms his image as an expert - under normal circumstances, the tone and intonation of speech, that is, the effective performance of skills, are more important to win the trust of others than the correct and authentic content.

Although Han Gang's words are simple, his unwavering confidence in his words, as well as his unwavering but unwavering gaze that has always been slightly rude, as well as his smooth elaboration without hesitation, will make people involuntarily believe his words.

Wang Anshi has a bit of a headache now, in such a situation, how can he make Han Gang face the saint?

Although today's son is now looking forward to the news of the victory in Hengshan day and night, he deduces the battle situation over and over again against the sand table in the Wuying Hall every day, and sends the formation map and plan to Yanzhou one by one. But after all, his ears are a little soft, and the emperor who grew up in the palace would never think that the young man in front of him would have a pair of unwavering eyes.

Once Han Gang stood in front of the Son of Heaven, pointed to the sand table, and repeated the words he had just said, it was really difficult to estimate what the outcome would be.

The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Han Gang, Wang Anshi is very clear in his heart. In the Wuying Palace, where Zhao Ji has to go every day, behind every sand table, there is a label of Han Gang. And Han Gang's promotion of medical treatment in the army has been valued by all Shaanxi generals.

It is precisely because of the importance that Guo Kui, Wang Shao, Han Jiang, Chong Ge and others attach to Han Gang that Zhao Ji is more sure of Han Gang's talent. Since Han Gang left an image of being familiar with military affairs in the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for his views not to affect the views of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Anshi never expected in advance that Han Gang would oppose Luo Wu so clearly, even if Wang Shao, who was in charge of Hehuang Kaibian and had a dispute with Hengshan Tuotu, would not be so frank and outspoken.

Thinking like this, Wang Anshi felt that Han Gang's performance seemed to be a little abnormal,

"Han Gang, you don't want to go to Yanzhou?!" He asked suddenly.

was punctured with the thoughts hidden in his heart, and Han Gang was a little shaken in an instant. But he quickly packed up and rearmed his heart, "For the king's worries, regardless of the south and the north, where can I not go?" But knowing that he couldn't do it, he let the pawn die in vain, but the lower officials didn't dare to obey! ”

Holding high-sounding words to make a cloak for his selfishness, Wang Anshi has seen a lot of such people and things. I didn't think that Han Gang was essentially such a character, he said a little unhappily: "I just don't want to go." ”

If you want me to go, you can go, as long as the conditions can be met. Han Gang said: "The court has an order, and the lower officials will take the order and will not refuse." However, there is one point that the lower officials must report to the prime minister in advance. Regardless of whether the battle is won or lost, no matter whether the lower official has merit or not, the imperial court's reward afterwards should not add the name of the lower official. ”

Wang Anshi was surprised. Han Gang doesn't want the credit that he may have, it seems to be humble, but in fact, it is equivalent to saying that if there is any accident in this matter, no matter what the crime is, don't plant it on my head.

'Does he really think that Luo Wu can't hold it?! ’

Of course, Han Gang was sure that Luo Wu couldn't hold it, so he dared to say that.

If this condition of his own is truthfully reported by Wang Anshi, what will the Son of Heaven think? Han Gang couldn't confirm. But it doesn't really matter. In fact, as Wang Anshi said, he just didn't want to go to Yanzhou.

Because he didn't want to go to Yanzhou, Han Gang would vigorously oppose sending troops to Luo Wu. The reason for his opposition was that Luo Wu would be defeated under the city. Han Gang can be sure that there is at least a ninety percent chance that Han Jiang's offensive in the direction of Hengshan will be defeated in this round.

It's not because of the grain problem.

After taking Luowu City, it is enough to hold on for half a year. Because of the fragility of the Tangut people's rule in Hengshan, they couldn't even wait for half a year. Once Luo Wucheng can stably stay in the depths of Hengshan for half a year, the ruling power of the Western Xia people in the Hengshan region can actually be abolished. Without the threat of thieves and a safe grain route, it is very convenient to transport.

But Han Gang couldn't say that. He could never say that in the history he remembered, Western Xia was a safe and secure continuation until the Mongol invasion. And the current situation, if Hengshan is lost, the fall of Western Xia is just around the corner.

Since the Western Xia did not fall to the Northern Song Dynasty, it was impossible for this adventure plan to succeed. Although it cannot be said that it is 100% certain to fail, as long as it is 78% of the time, it will be defeated. It's just that when you speak, you must leave a way out for yourself, "You may be able to win this battle by luck, but if the court is used to taking such risks, the defeat may be even more disastrous in the future."

I didn't expect Han Yukun to be so stubborn. Through the thin door of the small door, Wang listened to the conversation inside, and he couldn't believe that Han Gang would confront his father so face-to-face.

"Second brother, what's wrong, how much did you overhear?" The crisp voice whispered behind him, but when it fell into the ears of the king, he almost screamed.

Seeing his sister Wang Yi behind him, he looked at himself sideways, "Don't make trouble!" Wang's face was a little red, and he felt a little embarrassed when his sister saw his rudeness.

Wang Yi poked his head into the door, just like the scene ten months ago. After nearly a year, her curiosity has not diminished, "It's Han Gang again?" He's coming to the capital again? ”

……………………

Due to Han Gang's non-cooperation, Wang Anshi did not achieve his goal, and he did not leave Wang Shao and Han Gang to eat at the end of the year, so it can be said that he forgot. And Wang Anshi didn't speak, Wang Bian didn't dare to take the initiative to stay, but Han Gang didn't forget him, when Wang Bian came to see him off, the two made an appointment to go outside to Tokyo City next time they were free, and drink some water and wine by the way.

Wang Anshi sat in the study, thinking about Fang Cai's conversation. Han Gang had already made his position clear, and Wang Anshi could force him to pass, but then it was impossible for him not to worry that Han Gang would adopt an uncooperative attitude in official affairs, or be passive and slack off. Moreover, Han Gang is brave and resourceful, not an ordinary official. If it's just for him to deal with injuries, it's actually a bit wasteful.

Wang Anshi couldn't make up his mind for a while, and it wasn't until his second daughter came over to urge him to eat that he let him think about the problem for the time being.

Sitting back at the dinner table, Wang Anshi was still staring at a plate of dishes on the table as always. Mrs. Wu asked her husband, "Big brother is about to arrive in Beijing, right?" Do you want to send someone to meet him? A large family drags children and daughters, and it is inconvenient in many places. ”

Wang Anshi has two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter has already been married, and the eldest son has also married a wife. And the second son Wang Bi has already married the Pang family, and when the eldest son Wang Yan arrives in the capital, he will have a wedding.

"How many years has the eldest brother been an official, there are many things that don't have to worry too much about him, he knows it in his own heart, where will there be any inconvenience?" Wang Anshi is not worried about his son at all, his eldest son Wang Yan, who has been smart since childhood, is his pride, and he doesn't need to worry at all.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she seemed to be relieved, "Wait for the eldest brother to come back, and the second brother will get married." The rest is the marriage of the second sister. ”

Wang Yi blushed, and shook Mrs. Wu's hand coquettishly: "If my daughter doesn't marry, she will accompany her father and mother for the rest of her life." ”

"Nonsense! If it drags on, no one will want it. Mrs. Wu said a word to her daughter, and when she turned around, she said to her husband, "Why don't you hurry up and help the second sister find a good family." Don't keep thinking about changing the law, changing the law, governing the country together, and then talk about the family together. ”
