There are probably as many doubts in the political hall as there are in the Funing Palace.

Basically, no one doubts the authenticity of Hangang's performance, and the only problem is the form in which the performance is sent.

Han Gang was extremely conservative in the report, and he didn't even mention the word 'jie' in the good news, but the result was a great victory from any point of view. Whether it is the result of the battle, the battle situation in Hedong, or the court, it is an undoubted victory.

But why didn't Han Gang do it?

If it was really Lubu Feijie, they would only be one step ahead of the queen, instead of waiting until the Yintai Division sent the watch to the Funing Palace. And after learning the specific content, I waited until the queen forwarded it now.

"What a joy!"

Zhang Qiha laughed twice, for the two prefectures that were attacked by the government and the opposition because of the crisis in Hedong, this report is equivalent to a long drought and a rainstorm, so that they can be relieved. But there are only two prosecutors who flatter and curry favor with Lu's smile. Han Jiang and Zeng Bu both looked very serious, and Cai did also frown.

It's just the biggest problem, and no one can figure it out.

The corners of Zeng Bu's mouth twitched, he didn't doubt whether Han Gang was lying in the report, and he didn't dare to make it public because he was afraid of being exposed afterwards.

If Han Gang was really a fake, he would never be so half-toned.

They are all people who dare to act, and the more they have no confidence, the more they have to be upright and confident. Zeng Bu understands this truth, Zhang Dian understands, and Han Gang, who is even more bold, certainly understands it even better.

And how many Liao soldiers will fight desperately for a war that is not beneficial? The Liao army has lost its sharpness. Even though he knew that there would be a better strategy, Xiao 13 couldn't force his soldiers to attack the city desperately. This comment, Han Gang explained it on the chapter early, and it was also recognized by the Zaifu. Because the temperament of the Khitan nobles is well known to the world.

How did Fu Bi persuade Liao not to raise troops to the south and accept the conditions of increasing the annual coin? It is precisely because Fu Bi pointed out that the Liao and Song dynasties were good and maintained the alliance of the Yuan Dynasty in exchange for peace, that 'the people are the masters of their own interests, and the subordinates have nothing to gain'; once the two countries fight each other, 'the profits will go to the subordinates, and the people will take care of their misfortunes'.

Even Liao Xingzong did not deny Fu Bi's statement that the Liao army went south only to plunder the goods. Because it's a fact. It is precisely by virtue of this fact that Fu Bi has achieved the original intention of maintaining the alliance of the Yuanyuan. Let 'the Khitan Lord be enlightened, and the one who approves will last for a long time'. Once the army with the goal of plundering is full of stolen goods, how can it give up everything and fight to the death when there is a way to retreat?

Even Han Gang said on the recital that he would lead the army to continue north, chasing behind the Liao army, intending to recapture Daizhou. It can be seen that he is not afraid that the Liao people will bite back.

As the famous general Yang Yanzhao and Yang Liulang pointed out during the alliance of Lanyuan: 'The enemy is in Lanzhou, and he goes to the north for thousands of miles, and the men and horses are scarce, although the crowd is easy to defeat. Whatever is plundered, it is on the horse. The original army was killed on the main road, and its soldiers were annihilated, so that the secluded and easy states could be attacked and taken'-The Liao army went deep into Hebei, the people were sleepy and the horses were scarce, and the soldiers and horses could also be taken lightly, and the property they plundered was carried on their own horses, and there was no fighting spirit at all. As long as the armies can hold the key road and cover it up and annihilate it, the loss of Youzhou and Yizhou will be at your fingertips.

This view was the same as that of Han Gang, and the geography of Hedong was far more favorable than Hebei for the infantry-based Song army. Han Gang dared to let go of the retreating Liao army, and it was precisely because he saw this clearly.

Regarding Han Gang's decision in Hedong, even if the Zaifu in the Jingshi had objections, they had no choice but to let him go. The only one who can be ruled by them is only the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, who is also the king of Hedong Jingluo and the governor of the capital of soldiers and horses. Kerschen.

Since Taiyuan was ultimately held, no matter whose credit it was, Wang. Kechen can share a share of the profits, and Han Gang is naturally the king in the recital. Kachen said a few kind words.

"Even if there has been, the steady defense of Taiyuan has also been redeemed." Han Jiang sighed, but seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "Han Yukun is so generous!" ”

"After all, it is difficult for the prince to hold Taiyuan City." Zeng Bu said.

"How many counties has Taiyuan Fu lost? How many villages and towns were destroyed? How many people were killed or wounded? What's more, he is still the east of the river, Yanmen, Daizhou, and Shiling have fallen one after another, how can he be blameless? Zhang Qi rarely showed his tendencies, and his words were much more intense than usual.

Cai did look at Zhang Qi, and then looked at Han Jiang quietly, when did Zhang Qi and Han Jiang stand on the same line?

It was judged that Liu Guangyu was Han Jiang's niece and son-in-law, and it was the same year as Han Gang, if Han Gang could get rid of Wang. Kechen, even if the position of the Taiyuan prefect is handled by Han Gang himself, the actual government affairs are entrusted to a large part of the general judge of Liuguangyu. In this way, after the war, it is possible for his niece and son-in-law to jump seven or eight steps at once.

It's a pity that Han Gang doesn't have this idea, and it seems that he just wants to maintain stability in Hedong and leave the errands that offend people to the two governments. And Cai did not plan to offend the king for Han Jiang's nephew. Kechen is a national relative. However, if Han Jiang is willing to owe some favors...... That's two things.

"The original Jinyang City is easy to say, but today's Taiyuan is not so easy to guard." Cai did euphemistically express his opposing opinion, "How can you be deeply responsible." ”

'I'm selling vegetables again. Zeng Bu sneered in his heart, not only Cai Qu's careful thoughts, but also Cai Qu's words: "It's almost the opposite." ’

Zhao Guangyi destroyed Jinyang, 'burned all its houses, the people and the old and young approached the city gate, and the burned dead were very numerous', the city was four feet high, and the city was more than 15,000 steps - almost 42 miles - the old Taiyuan City was completely destroyed. The newly built Taiyuan City is only a little more than ten miles.

The old Taiyuan is built across the Fen River, divided into three cities in the east, west and middle, the so-called 'capital city left Fen and right Jin, and the hidden hill is in the middle', and there are more Cangcheng, Xincheng and Daming City in the west city - that is, Kuching Yang - three sub-cities of the Warring States period.

Such a city is indeed strong, but compared to the extremely scarce troops, a city that is too large is a burden, and it cannot be defended at all, and it cannot rely on the militia that has just been recruited? If Taiyuan is still in its original location and the old city is still preserved, the Liao army may dare to attack the idea of Taiyuan City. In that case, there will be a headache for Han Gang.

"It's too much to be fair. It is difficult for the prince to be a relative of the country, and he is among the eight discussions, so how can he be deeply responsible for the reduction of the crime according to the regulations? Zhang Qi said.

"The Eight Deliberations are used only for conviction. Now it's for the king. What about Kachen's convictions? Or are they discussing whether he is suitable to continue to serve in Taiyuan? Zeng Bu suddenly asked, "If the king. . . Kechen can have 20,000 more soldiers and horses in his hands, and the result will be different. Therefore, Shiling Pass is broken, and his responsibility is not too big. The main responsibility for Yanmen and Daizhou is not on him. He clearly objected, "What's more, Han Yukun also hopes that he can stay in office." What if the king is replaced. Kechen caused the war to be unfavorable, so will the envoy be blamed on Dongfu? ”

Cai Qu raised his eyes, and said to Han Jiang in an instant: "The sub-declaration is reasonable. Brother Zihua, since this is the case, it is better to hand it over to the Holy Judge. ”

Han Jiang was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll hand it over to the Queen's Holy Judge." ”

"Ming?" Cai did ask Zhang Qi again.

Zhang Qi then nodded: "That's fine." ”

Let the queen choose what to do with the king. Kechen's resolution was thus decided.

It's not too big a thing - like what to do with Wang. Kechen - If there is a disagreement between the two provinces, it will be left to the queen to decide. will even deliberately show disagreement on some small things. It is only a decision on major matters, but the two governments will try their best to achieve the same position.

This is a rule that has gradually become the default rule of the two governments.

The emperor's mental tricks that stir up different theories, which of the Zaifu is not familiar with? They didn't want to see the queen practice this set of tricks to the level of perfection she is today.

However, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi's faces were a little gloomy. It wasn't because their plans were stopped by Zeng Bu, but because Zeng Bu made them sober up a little and not to challenge the queen's trust in Han Gang.

It is indeed a good thing that the queen will not learn to mix different opinions, but it becomes a situation of obeying Han Gangyan, which makes several Zai Zhi feel uncomfortable.

Cai Qu sighed lightly and asked a few colleagues, "What should I do with the recital sent by Han Yukun?" Her Royal Highness the Queen must ask, there must be a charter to come out. ”

After going around in a big circle, I still can't escape this problem after all.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Jiang said the most: "Just post it in the Di newspaper as usual." ”

He looked back at Cai Qu, Cai Qu groaned slightly, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

"Zixuan, Mi Ming, what do you see?" He asked Zeng Bu and Zhang Qi again for their opinions.

The two governors nodded and voted in favor.

If the military situation from the border is favorable to the officers and soldiers, it will usually be arranged in this way. If it is a big victory and Feijie enters Beijing, it is even more necessary to enter the Taimiao, or congratulate the monarchs and ministers on the Wende Palace. Since Han Gang himself didn't send a good report, it was regarded as an ordinary military situation with some results, and he reported it to Lu Xia in the Di newspaper.

Let's wait and see.

More than one person in the hall thought so.

……………………

"The thief retreated really simply." Cai Jing smiled, raised his right hand lightly, and motioned for the ears and eyes who came to report the news to retreat.

The imperial historians in Wutai can be said to be the most sensitive to gossip in the entire capital, and at the same time the most well-informed officials. Among them, Cai Jing, who was the imperial historian, received the content of the report from the Hedong Envoy, and together with the decision of the Zaifu, it was only an hour later.

The news that came out of Tongjin Yintaisi and the East and West Mansions was very exaggerated: the Liao thieves besieged Taigu for a night, and there were many casualties among the thieves. And because the reinforcements went north, they retreated. He also burned the two cities in the north and south outside the city, and thousands of thieves were lost in the flames, and they were all reduced to ashes in the flames.

Qiang Yuanming, who also belonged to the Taiwan Academy and asked Cai Jing's acquaintance, shook his head: "I don't know how much water is mixed with that report, and it will be discounted!" ”

"If someone else says it, it's one or two percent credible. With Han San's temperament, fold it in half. Cai Jing said while thinking, "There are thousands of burns and burns, most of them are fake, and the beheading afterwards is definitely true." Han San has led the troops for many years, but he has not made such a mistake. ”

The reported results are usually blown into the sky as much as possible, on the one hand, to sound good, and on the other hand, to promote prestige. Anyway, the actual merit is basically judged by beheadings - it is a credit to hold the city, and it is also a credit to drive away the Liao army, but the size of the merit depends on the capture - no matter how powerful it is, it is useless. It is impossible to fake a beheading, and there is no way to fake a captured weapon. As for the number of enemy troops defeated, ten times or eight times can be blown.

In fact, Cai Jing didn't care about how much water was mixed in the report, what he cared about was the opinions of the two governments on the handling of the whole matter.

Winning is winning after all, but after all, it was because they couldn't figure out Han Gang's thoughts, which made the two governments dare not announce the results of the battle in the form of good news. If the two governments really dare to do it, it is better to immediately publicize it with great fanfare and roast Han Gang on the fire.

"But I think that will make people think that the Zaifu can't hold their breath, and Han Gang doesn't take it seriously, but they are holding the treasure, and a comparison seems to be losing the identity of the prime minister and not being stable enough." Qiang Yuanming said.

“…… Maybe both, right? ”

Cai Jing's eyebrows were deeply locked, and Qiang Yuanming's words woke him up at once. Han Gang's casual actions even made the rest of Zaifu short of breath and timid, and they didn't dare to make any changes.

Since when did Han Gang's every move even Zaisuke have to be carefully figured out?

When he returns with a big victory, what kind of situation will the court have?

……………………

"Thoughts?" Han Gang put down the binoculars, turned back to Liuguang Yu and said, "No! But even if there is no good news, the soldier's reward will not be less, and it is only me who really loses the benefit. ”

"Then why do you have to do this?!"

Han Gang said with a smile: "When Daizhou is recovered, it is not too late to report to the Son of Heaven!" ”

Liu Guangyu was puzzled: "Why is the privy so self-clear? ”

Han Gang smiled: "What is the king's order that I came to Hedong?" ”

"Regain Hedong." Liu Guangyu didn't say anything.

"What about sending? Is it Taigu Zhixian? ”

“…… Xia Guan understood. Liu Guangyu saluted Han Gang and hurried to do his business.

Seeing Liu Guangyu leave, Han Gang sneered in the camp, raised the clairvoyant mirror again, and aimed at the wall in the distance.

'Don't be idle, everybody. ’
