In the marshal's mansion, Xu Ping had nothing to do and flipped through the official documents and letters on the case, looking at it with great interest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Ping's military reform in Qinfeng Road, although the imperial court eventually maintained it in a way that allowed him to try it out, it still caused a lot of controversy in the government and the opposition. There were those who were in favor of it, those who were against, those who wrote to the court, and those who wrote letters to themselves. There are also a variety of opinions, and even some of them are brain-opening, and of course, there are also real suggestions.

Over the years, a lot has happened and a lot has changed.

Ouyang Xiu has been in Yiling County for more than a year, and has served in the Guanghua Army for several years, and has recently been transferred to Huazhou as a judge of Jiedu. In the past few years, the situation with him serving in Luoyang has been heaven and earth. At that time, they were rich and preferential, and they lived a life of drinking, feasting and traveling, and in these places, he was in contact with the lowest-level pro-people officials, and really began to transform from a literati to an official. The county of this era cannot be compared with the county of Xu Ping's previous life, and should be regarded as a township. Starting from the officials at the county level, in fact, starting from the most basic level of townships and towns, the conditions are difficult, and the contact is also the daily livelihood of the people. Like Yiling County, where Ouyang Xiu was demoted, he took office in those places, and was called "going to the soup and fighting the fire" by many officials. After being there for more than a year, he was far away from the ups and downs of the metropolis, and his thoughts slowly shifted from the sage avenue to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Ouyang Xiu also participated in this discussion on the military system, and in fact, it was mainly these middle- and lower-level officials who participated in the discussion. If you say something wrong, you won't be punished, and if you say something right, you may be appreciated, so why not do it.

Ouyang Xiu wrote a letter to Xu Ping, praising him for breaking the toe with the power of a state in Yongzhou, and he was a rare person in the imperial court who had actual combat experience and knew the soldiers. Then he made a high-level discussion on the current military situation, from three aspects: soldiers, generals, financial use, and imperial forces.

Soldiers should be trained intensively, and the old and weak should be eliminated. In wartime, it is necessary to unify command, and the number of soldiers is outnumbered, scattered and fragmented, which is a taboo in the art of war. This is really to the point, but the suggestions are still empty talk, Ouyang Xiu has not been exposed to military practice, and the suggestions he put forward can only be empty talk. In the end, I didn't forget to praise Xu Ping, saying that he was the one who led the soldiers, so he naturally knew better.

For the will will be mainly emphasized that there will be no species, should not be limited to origin and qualifications, and widely select talents.

There is nothing to say about the financial use, Xu Ping has been the third envoy for several years, and at this time the state is sufficient, and he is not afraid of the lack of money and food at all. Cheng Lin, who took over as the third envoy, is a financial manager, and everything is in order so far, and there has been no shortage of money and food along the border roads in Shaanxi. Ouyang Xiu mainly praised the merits of Xu Ping's three envoys, counted the current financial situation of the imperial court, and had sufficient money and food, which was the time to use troops.

The last Yurong is quite interesting. He believed that the Khitan and the party were mutually aided, and they were actually united, which was a big trouble in the north, so they should be broken separately. Where to start? Xu Ping seems to be far away from the main battlefield of the battle with the party in Qinzhou, but in fact he is in the weakest belly of the party, which looks far away, but in fact it is the most conducive place to attack the party. It is necessary to go north through the two prefectures of Luolan and Hui to attack the weakness of the party.

After reading it, Xu Ping put down the letter with a smile. Although Ouyang Xiu is a scholar, the final strategic analysis is actually correct, and it seems that the distance and the near are indeed a problem that most people ignore.

The reason why the two roads of Dunyan and Huanqing became the main battlefields of the battle between the Song and the party was because those two places were conducive to the attack of the party, and the Song was the main defender. But if Song wants to attack the party, it is not appropriate there. Even after crossing Hengshan, Song still faced supply difficulties, and the front was mostly desert, far from the central area of the party. The two roads of Jingyuan and Qinfeng are completely different, once they control Lanzhou and Huizhou, because of the Yellow River, they will directly face the hinterland of the party.

More importantly, the main body of the Fan Department on the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing is the party Xiang Qiang, which is of the same clan as Yuan Hao, and it is not easy to win over them. The two roads of Jingyuan and Qinfeng were dominated by the Han people of Tubo and Fanhua, and their hearts were towards the imperial court, as long as the strategy was right, they could get twice the result with half the effort, and it was relatively easy to win over. They are all outside the Hua, and the Fan Qiang and the Fan Qiang are still different.

Ouyang Xiu's analysis of the last Yurong was very appreciated by Xu Ping, and he was going to send it to his subordinates to take a look.

The most striking opponent of Xu Ping was Sima Guang, who had just become a judge in Huazhou, and he was mainly opposed to Xu Ping's change of class law. Sima Guang believes that there is a distinction between the upper and lower courtesy, and there is a class in the army, so that they can be orderly, and the command is like an arm, and the subordinate soldiers will not dare to disobey. Sima Guang was the chief general of Zun Xunzi, and although he was later drawn into Taoism by the Zun Meng's school of science, he was in fact always opposed to Mencius. Xunzi's thought is the source of Legalism, whether it is in the army or in society, the strict class is the same thought. This kind of thinking has been the mainstream in the history of the Song Dynasty for nearly a thousand years, and Xu Ping has already seen the consequences and is too lazy to pay attention to him.

By now, Xu Ping didn't have to mind what kind of attitude officials of Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang's status had towards him. The difference in status between the two sides is too far, whether it is officialdom or ideology, it has no impact on Xu Pingzao. Only Xu Ping promoted or suppressed them, and there was no reason for them to influence Xu Ping in turn. It's a pity that Wang Anshi hasn't been a jinshi yet, otherwise Xu Ping would have arranged for him and Sima Guang to be officials in a place, so that the two of them would have a good fight since they were young.

Of course, in actual history, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi did serve as officials together when they were young, and they were good friends who had a good relationship.

While Xu Ping was flipping through the letters, Li Zhang came in and saluted Xu Ping: "Jie Shuai, Ji Yisi has received news that there has been an abnormal movement in the Tibetan region north of the Wei River recently, and Qinzhou should prepare as soon as possible!" ”

Xu Ping put down the letter in his hand and said casually: "It's those people who trafficked in illicit salt, right?" It's time too. ”

"Exactly! The news that Ji Yisi got was from the south of Mabitshan, centered on the western envoy city of Ma Jian in the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhufan tribes were in contact with each other recently, and it was very likely that they would invade Qinzhou in a big way after the autumn! ”

Xu Ping nodded, got up and looked at the huge map behind him, and pointed to the Western Envoy City: "This belt is the sphere of influence of the six departments of Yuzang. Their leader, Yu Zanghuama, was recruited by the party to marry the daughter of Yuan Hao and became the son-in-law of the party. Since Yuan Hao rebelled against the imperial court, there has been no major war now. The various departments of the Tibetan and Qiang tribes were engaged in agriculture or grazing in the spring and autumn, and they could not use troops on a large scale until after the autumn. After the autumn to the spring of the next year, there will inevitably be several big battles with the party along the border. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping turned around and said to Li Zhang: "Since we arrived in Qinzhou, we have always been mainly in charge of the Tibetan Department, showing kindness and treating them with sincerity. Even if the accounts were merged into villages, those Tibetan tribes did not suffer losses, and the leaders gave generous compensation, so that they could deposit their money in the bank and live a good life with only interest. But people are not satisfied, no matter how good they are, there will always be disgruntled, there is no way. Cao Wumu ruled Qinzhou, and once wrote a strategy, saying that the Tibetan Ministry should be covered up first, and then show kindness, so that they can truly be grateful. Enough of our gifts are enough, and cover-up is inevitable! Wu Mu's most important battle in Qinzhou was to defeat Zong's brother Li Lizun in Sandu Valley, and he was very killed! If Yu Tibetan Huama invades, it should be from the west to the city, along the mountain valley road to the valley, the valley, through the Gangu into the Sandu River Valley Road, and then along the river valley to invade the Fuqiang village area. The mountains and rivers west of Qinzhou are crisscrossed, and there is only one road that can be taken, which is also the road that Li Lizun took when he committed Qinzhou. This time, we have to cheer up and see if we can fight Sandu Valley again! ”

"Recruit all divisions and the Xuanwei Army and the Guiming Shenyuan Army, and take measures to prevent autumn!"
