[Great Khan, how did the topic of the interview become a discussion of mature women. Take this opportunity to ask for red tickets and collections. 】

After the court meeting, it was the deliberation of the Son of Heaven and the important ministers in the Chongzheng Palace. After the deliberations were over, Wang Anshi was kept as usual. However, they did not stay in the Chongzheng Palace, and the two of them went to the Wuying Hall together.

Zhao Ji has been in a good mood recently, acting like the wind and rejuvenated. The excitement given to him by Shaanxi's successive victories has not passed, and the palace has followed closely to give him new surprises. Although there has been no news from the queen since the early death of her eldest daughter Yanxi, two concubines passed the good news together yesterday. When the news came out, today's court was full of congratulatory voices on the Son of Heaven.

The difficulty of having children is a common problem for the Zhao family's emperors, and since the time of Zhenzong, the number of princes has never exceeded three - Zhenzong has a single seedling, and Renzong has none - although Zhao's real grandfather and great-grandfather are both known for having many sons, and the sons born are all in double digits, but Yingzong, who succeeded to Renzong, has only three children.

After Zhao Ji inherited the throne, it has been more than three years, and he finally gave birth to two sons, but all of them died young, and the daughter born to the queen also died young, which made Zhao Ji very envious of his second brother who already had children. But now there is good news in the palace, and Zhao Ji is looking forward to his children being born safely in a few months.

In the court, although the voices of opposition to the change of the law were still fierce, as he sat on the royal couch for longer and longer, he was able to turn a deaf ear to the nonsense of party disputes. It will no longer be because a few courtiers jumped out and pointed to the change and scolded indiscriminately, which will ruin the mood of the day.

Wen Yanbo was full of anger when he went to court today, and he pointed to the exemption law and scolded for an hour without stopping. However, after Zhang Dian took out Sima Guang and Wu Chong's evaluation of the old jet difference service law in the previous two years, although Wen Yanbo was still scolding, his arrogance was suppressed a lot.

Although Zhao Ji also did not like Wen Yanbo's opposition to the new law, he did not agree with Wang Anshi's proposal. However, when Sima Guang, Lu Gongbi, and Lu Gongzhu went out one after another, Zhao Ji had to leave an opposing voice in the court.

Dissenting theories are stirring up each other, which is the family magic weapon of the Song Dynasty Emperor to control the court situation. Wen Yanbo was in the middle of the court for a day, although the voice of the anti-change law was low, but after all, there was still a backbone, but if Wen Yanbo left his post again, the anti-change faction in the court would definitely be scattered. There is only one family left, and Zhao Ji is also at ease.

In fact, the introduction of the exemption law was a bit hasty, and if it was according to the plan that Wang Anshi reported to him at the beginning, this law should have passed another year and will not be implemented until the second half of next year when the time is ripe. However, the plan to add money to the lowly officials and give the officials a lot of money somehow spread out, but they had to be advanced.

Because of the haste of the incident, there were many shortcomings in the promulgated regulations, and Wen Yanbo seized on a few of them to attack, and it was a morning of trouble. That is, because Wen Yanbo made too much trouble, Zhao Ji left Wang Anshi down to discuss military affairs, but did not leave Wen Yanbo behind.

Wang Anshi followed Zhao Ji, the two of them all the way to Wuying Palace. The sand table placed in the middle of the side hall is no longer the Qinzhou mountains and rivers a few days ago, but the sand table with Hengshan as the main axis, including the geography of the mountains and rivers of Yanyan and Hedong. The mountains on the sand table are undulating, the Wuding River and the Yellow River pass through the mountains, and the tributaries are clearly identifiable.

However, when Wang Anshi saw a military general in the palace, he didn't care about the sand table anymore, 'Yanda? ’

The generals of the Western Army, who had made great contributions in Suide City the day before yesterday, were kneeling by the sand table. Yan Da is now the eunuch of Yan Yan, but because he was promoted because he was Guo Kui, he did not agree with the seeds, and he was not treated well in front of Han Jiang. This time, he went to Beijing and was also sent by Han Jiang.

"Flat." Zhao Ji motioned for Yan Da and the attendants in the hall to stand up.

Yan Da is around forty years old, with a majestic figure, standing tall and standing upright. However, his appearance is ugly, his face is like the bottom of a pot, his beard is curled, and his slightly small eyes are cold, and he seems to be about to eat people, just like the evil of the ancients, so that the servants in the palace dare not look at him squarely.

However, Yan Da's personality is not at all irritable and rigid on the outside, on the contrary, he is known for his generosity in leading troops. When he met the saint the day before yesterday, Zhao Ji asked him what should be the first priority in leading the troops, and his answer was 'love'. Zhao Ji asked in surprise how love could surpass Wei, and Yan Da said, "Wei Fei doesn't need it, you must take love as the first ear." ’

These words made Zhao Ji appreciate it. If all the courtiers of the world's unified army wanted to do this, there would not be mutinies from time to time. Li Fugui was in Gyeongju, wantonly threatened, treated the army harshly, and even killed the governor of the palace if he wanted to. After reading the book for many years, he can't even compare to a martial artist, so he should really let him, who has been relegated to other places, listen to it.

The Great Song Tianzi walked to the sand table, and Wang Anshi followed behind. Seeing this, Yan Da bowed down and took two steps back, not daring to stand in front of Wang Anshi.

Zhao Ji held the border of the sand table with both hands, stared at the Wuding River, looked along the river from the confluence of the Wuding River and the Yellow River to Lu, crossed Suide City, and stopped at the northern foot of Hengshan. There is a small flag here, white only half the size of a palm, with two words written on it - Luo Wu.

"Han Jiang invited him to Zhuluowu, and said that there were ten benefits and three victories. According to this place, Yokoyama is firmly in my hands. I don't know Yanda, what do you think of Han Jiang's statement? ”

The site of Luowu City is the same as Suide City, which is also located on the bank of the Wuding River. However, compared with Suide City, which is still at the southern foot of Hengshan, Luowucheng has jumped nearly sixty miles to the north, and it is only ten miles away from Yinzhou, an important town in the southeast of Western Xia.

This was a risky plan, and the Western Xia counterattack would be more intense than the siege of Suide, and it was likely that they would have to face more than 100,000 enemy troops—no longer claims, but real numbers.

But once the plan was successful, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to fully control the Hengshan area. The Hengshan Fan Division, which the Western Xia relied on as the Ping Domain, and the southeastern defense line jointly held by the two major military divisions of Xiangyou and Zuoxiang Shenyong, will completely collapse. Once Hengshan is lost, Yinzhou and Xiazhou, which are also on the bank of the Wuding River, will no longer be owned by Western Xia, and the Qingbai Salt Pond, which is regarded as life by the party people, will also fall into the hands of the Song people.

The two core regions of the Western Xia Kingdom, one is Xingling and the other is Yinxia. Xingqing Mansion and Lingzhou are the centers of Western Xia, located on the banks of the Yellow River, in the desert, separated by 700 miles of Hanhai, and it is difficult for troops to reach. The Yinxia area, which is collectively known as the states of Yin, Yan, You, Hong and Xia, is located at the northern foot of Hengshan. The Yinxia Prefectures provided more than half of the Western Xia's finance and taxes to Xingqing Prefecture, as well as more than thirty percent of the soldiers.

Set up a city and seize half of the western thief, Zhao Ji was moved, and Wang Anshi was also moved. Yan Da said the same in front of the Son of Heaven, "If Luo Wu can hold it, Hengshan will definitely be there." Hengshan must be, and the western thief is not to be worried. I crossed the sea to attack Xingling, and the transportation and labor were hard, and the grain and straw were unsustainable. And the Iron Harrier and Bubazi will also be trapped in grain and grass without the support of the Hengshan Fan people and attacking across the Hanhai. And after losing Hengshan, relying only on the production of the Xingling area is not enough to feed the 100,000 army of the Western Thieves, and at that time, the party members will only have one way to beg to surrender to the imperial court. ”

But the premise of all this is that Luo Wu City can hold it. Yan Da is not good at saying that Han Jiang is not in front of the Son of Heaven, so he can only use this song. Wang Anshi bowed his head lightly, and Yan Da was also delicate.

He asked, "I don't know if Luo Wucheng alone can hold the attack of the Western Thieves?" Luo Wu is hanging alone, if the thief army suddenly arrives, it is difficult to rescue Suide City in time. ”

A single walled city, no matter how strong, is only a point, and fortresses must be built near the city to support each other in order to build a solid line of defense. The lonely city is difficult to defend, as long as you know a little about the military, you can know this.

Since the time of Renzong, the Song people spared no effort to build a large-scale fortress at the junction of Song and Xia, connecting more than 2,000 miles of defense line. Every key strategic place, no matter which direction it is around, is a walled fort within ten or twenty miles, and the walled city groups are connected with each other to form a complete defense system.

For example, Gangu City in Qinzhou, near its left, there are three forts of Touzang, Dagan, and Longnuo to protect the wings, and Liu Changzuo, the supervisor of Qinfeng who recently began to garrison Gangu, applied to the central court to build two forts of Jiangan and Longyang to the north. These forts were planned when the construction of Gangu Castle began.

"Although Luo Wucheng is lonely, as long as the road connecting Suide is not lost, the western thieves will inevitably work in vain. And its land to the east fifty miles, is the boundary of the east of the river, if the west thief comes to attack Luowu, the east of the river can send troops to rescue. Yan Da paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "To defend Luo Wu steadily, you must have the help of Shaanxi Hedong at the same time!" ”

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, and Fang said, "...... You go down first! ”

After Yan Da bowed, he withdrew from the Wuying Palace. His expression was calm, and he was not panicked because the Son of Heaven suddenly ordered him to retreat.

Zhao Ji stared directly at a mountainous area on the east side of the Yellow River on the sand table, and slowly whispered: "Hedong ......"

Wang Anshi raised his voice to express the hesitation in Zhao Ji's heart: "If it is as Yanda said, he should be given the post of Xuanfu of Han Jiang Hedong." ”

Han Jiang took charge of Shaanxi Xuanfu as a ruling person. He has the right to dispose of it freely, and the imperial court has given him two hundred empty heads, and he can be named an official by filling in his name. This was to facilitate his command of the army and recruit the Hengshan Fan Division. If Hedong is put in his hands, of course, he must be given the same power - as for sending another person to proclaim Hedong, it will only add chaos and fail to achieve the original intention of protecting the periphery of Luo Wu, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi will not think about it.

Zhao Ji sighed: "But if you want to serve as the Xuanfu of Shaanxi and Hedong, it is not enough to be a ruling qualification." ”

Moreover, Zhao Xuan was also worried that Han Jiang had no military merits, he never knew how to soldier, and he already had some complaints for Shaanxi Xuanfu. Of course, the unruly and arrogant soldiers must be dealt with strictly, but Zhao Ji is afraid that if there is chaos, he will delay the business.

"Then please add Han Jiang to the same Zhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi, and lead the military of Hedong and Shaanxi with the respect of the prime minister, and you should be able to command your fingers."
