Chapter 354: Pride (I)
Lu Shu was repeatedly oppressed by the envoys of Western Xia, and he was angry with Chong Ge in his heart, and planned to arrest him and punish him.
At this time, the court also quarreled.
Sima Guang said something that Wang Ju couldn't understand: "The minister thinks that with the people of the famous mountain, he may not be able to control the Xia Kingdom, even if he can control it, if he dies a forgiveness, he gives birth to a forgiveness, what is the benefit?" If it can't be systematized, the famous mountain will attract people to return, and what will we do to treat others. I am afraid that at that time, the imperial court will not only lose its trust in Western Xia, but also lose its trust in the famous mountains. It's better to maintain the status quo and let them confront each other. The reason why the minister thinks like this is because there are many remnants of the famous mountain, and the north is not allowed, and the south is not accepted, and there is no place to return at all, in this desperate situation, he will attack the border city in order to save himself, Your Majesty, don't you see the matter of Emperor Wu of Liang waiting for the scene? ”
Wen Yanbo was not very happy anymore. Grandma's, you just accept it, at least you have to wait for our Xifu to decide to come down before accepting it. Besides, I'm preoccupied with disarmament. Therefore, it is also said that the Western Xia called the ministers to pay tribute, and now they are attacking and taking their places without a name.
Coupled with the attacks of the ministers, Zhao Ji was forced to issue an edict this morning, sent the officials to accept it, the officials sentenced it, and degraded the fourth rank of the official rank, and placed it in Suizhou.
is an official prisoner, locked up in Suizhou, and can move freely in Suizhou City, but is not allowed to leave Suizhou City.
Wang Ju asked: "During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Song Qi, Liang and Chen were really orthodox in China?" ”
"Hey, is it the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
"Who is based in the Central Plains? %”
"They're Hu people."
"Even if they are Hu people, Emperor Wu of Liang is not a unified emperor, compared with our dynasty and the Liang dynasty, does Sima Guang think that my dynasty will also be in a corner in the future? Not bad. And so on. Sooner or later, you will be in a corner! ”
Zhao Ji didn't say anything.
"Say it again. Wei Mingshan's younger brother and the little official made this surrender, and it took several months, until the army arrived in Huaining Village, Wei Mingshan didn't know the truth, this kind of character who was sold and paid for the number of people, could it be Hou Jing? ”
"Hahaha," Zhao couldn't help but bend down and laugh, and then pondered the metaphor for a moment. Imagine that Wei Mingshan was depressed at that time, and laughed again, this metaphor is too subtle.
"But fortunately, I met Cai Gong, who was too unlucky to meet Lu Xu."
"I see." Zhao Ji finally realized, even if he did this, it was indeed a bit bad, but it was also forced. Could it be that he didn't say hello, Guan Jian Lu Shu was greedy for life and afraid of death. In the end, he was forced to have no choice, so he asked for help from the Zhejia army.
"I made a mistake."
"陛xià. This person is brave, and then use it in the future, please remember that you either use it or don't use it, but after using it, don't work with the scholar again. ”
"Why?"
"After this battle, can you still trust Wen Chenhu?" Wang Ju said, finally understanding why he is selfish and likes to work alone. Of course, the nature of the cultivator is selfish, and coupled with this encounter, he would rather watch Xu Xi die tragically than help in the future.
Zhao was silent.
"Your Majesty, the minister divides the war into three steps, one is to prepare before the war, the second is to fight during the battle, and the third is to deal with the aftermath after the war, but look at my court. It's really strange that you will quarrel if you lose, and you will make trouble if you win. How many people know about the aftermath of the war? ”
"Aftermath?"
"That is, what to do after the war is not only to reward and compensate, but also how to use this war to expand the fruits of the battle."
"Wang Ju said come and listen."
"The minister will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of getting Suizhou, and first talk about Suizhou itself. Why did Li Yuanhao attack Fengzhou before, many ministers in the court discussed that they wanted to abandon the two states of Fulin, because these two states were separated from Shaanxi by the two states of Suiyin and could not be rescued. Coupled with the repeated invasions of the Western Xia, many people fled to Hedong to make a living. Although it has the beauty of a large river, without the cultivation of the people, it will not be able to feed more garrisons. With few garrisons and isolated overseas, it has become easy to attack and difficult to defend. That's why some ministers decided to abandon it. But fortunately, there were people in the court who were sober at that time and opposed this proposal and did not abandon it. Otherwise, it will really be abandoned, so that the Western Xia will get Fulin, and if you think about it again, the north side of the river is the Liao State, and the Xixia people on the west side can cross the Yellow River at any time to invade from the Fulin Road. What will be the situation in Hedong then? ”
"Hedong is in danger."
"If Hedong is lost, can the capital be safe?"
"It's hard to be safe, and the whole country is in danger." Zhao Ji muttered, this is how he knew that Fulin Road was so important.
"Please be kind to the Folded family in the future."
"It is rumored that you value the Tibetan people very much......"
"Your Majesty, you don't want to say this. All the Song people and the Fan Han family are all Song people. Anyone who is my enemy, whether Han or not, is my enemy, such as the Liang family. Some people don't know the truth of the world and use An Lushan to talk about things. Could it be that Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi are not Hu people? Cao Cao is a Han Chinese, but he is loyal to the Han Dynasty? Sima Yi is a Han Chinese, but he is loyal to Cao Wei? Like the Tang Dynasty, if the system continues, even if the Hu people are not used, all the Han people are used, and sooner or later something big will happen. That's the truth. It's not that Hu people can't be used, just take a little precautions. ”
"That's the truth," Zhao said. One word hits! However, listening to Sima Guang's words, it seemed to be non-convincing, and Zhao Ji's mind was big.
"Your Majesty, let's talk about Suizhou. Got Suizhou, Shaanxi is very close to Fulin 2nd Road. If you want to choose a safe road, there is a gentle ferry from Suizhou to Shizhou, which is the road to the east of the river in the past. Therefore, from Suizhou to Shizhou, and then to Lanzhou, you can quickly enter Linzhou. If you dare to go, you will tear the defense line directly from Yinzhou, which has become thin, and turn each other into horns. Fulin Road immediately stopped being thin. And Yinzhou is sandwiched between Fulin Road and Suizhou, crumbling at any time, and Western Xia can only send heavy troops to guard against it. In fact, as long as the Western Xia is dragged to increase the permanent troops, the Western Xia will be poor sooner or later, and under the intensification of contradictions, more tribes will think about our dynasty, and the Western Xia will be destroyed without a fight. ”
"Makes sense, go on."
"When I was a child, I said that the reason why Wuzang Yanpang invaded and cultivated the Quye River, and that the Wuzang people where Wuzang Yanpang belonged were not big, and if they wanted to take power, they had to buy people's hearts. He was still poor in Western Xia, and the economy in his hands was insufficient, so he invaded the Quye River for profit. In fact, there is another reason, Western Xia seems to be big, but it is actually small. Many places are bitter alkali deserts and the Gobi Desert. Including the Yanzhou boundary. Although salt is produced. However, it is mostly bitter and alkaline land, which does not produce grain. Therefore, the various departments of Hengshan mostly used furs and other items to trade cloth, tea and grain with our dynasty. The Western Xia's invasion of the Quye River also somewhat alleviated some of the food difficulties. There are many flat rivers on the banks of the Wuding River and the Dali River in Suizhou that can be cultivated, which is the origin of the saying that it can support tens of thousands of archers. This cultivated area will not be much regretted in our dynasty, but in the eyes of the Tangut people, it will be deeply regretted. ”
"Yes, I'm open. Serve tea and sit upright. Zhao Ji shouted at a few hall officials in the distance.
Gotta have a long talk.
The priest brought a chair. Brewed tea, and then watched Wang Ju retreat with envy.
Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, the minister will talk about the third benefit." There is a Li Sangou in Chen's hometown, you know. ”
"That Zhao Zhong?"
"It's him, he fled to Wangjiazhai with his wife and two sons, maybe because of the loss, his personality is a little withdrawn, but he is very brave, and the people in the village dare not offend him. The minister was a little angry in the security military city, and he didn't know how thick the sky was. Take your younger siblings back to Wangjiazhai. As a result, he was about to lose his life, so he didn't care about the danger. Made a mule. ”
"Qing," Zhao Ji stretched out his hand, put it on Wang Ju's arm, and said with great feeling: "Qing is a treasure sent from heaven to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, this is not a compliment to the minister, but a praising and killing of the minister."
"Why are there so many boxes?" Zhao Ji suddenly sighed, look, this is a person who understands the military, not only understands the military, understands water conservancy, understands the economy, he lacks these three talents, there is a ready-made person, because he is young and can't use it, what is the reason?
The framework mentioned by His Majesty is the etiquette and etiquette in Confucianism, the law of Legalism, the order and rules in the eyes of the political family, and the rules in the eyes of the world. If you are too constrained by this box, you will only be rigid and eventually go into decline. But if there are no rules, there is no circle. Just as a person wears clothes, he wears a single garment in the summer and a thick coat in the winter, but there must be one garment. The trade-off between more and less clothes, and the restraint of the frame, are all real golden means. ”
"I'm wronged."
What kind of prime minister, look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, almost everyone in terms of martial arts is not clear, and they will only mess around. I can't think of a good plan in terms of culture, and then I will follow the nonsense! You can't even be reasonable!
"Your Majesty, don't be aggrieved, although the minister has some whimsical ideas, he is ultimately less experienced. Besides, the minister is not in a hurry, wouldn't it be better. If there is something difficult about it, you can ask the minister. If the minister can come up with it, he will say it to His Majesty, and if he is right, he will not be blamed, let alone wrong. Is this still a grievance? How many people want to see His Majesty's holy face, and they are desperate, the minister is very satisfied, really satisfied. ”
"He who claims to be a gentleman is not a gentleman, but he who says he is not a gentleman is a true gentleman."
"Your Majesty, the minister is really not a gentleman, the minister said it a long time ago, and he tried to keep up with Lu Yijian."
"Hehe," Zhao Ji was happy again: "Don't talk about this, you still say Suizhou." ”
"Weichen's life was really bad, the only time in his life that he carried a mule, he encountered a black bee thief. But Li Sangou killed several people that day, and I knew that he was not a mortal. Later, the Xia Guojian was imitated, and I thought that it would not work, and the Western Xia often came to copy the side. My father was killed in the rebellion. Therefore, the ministers built a wall, and the villagers built a wall, managed some weapons, and took time to train in case of accidents. But who will take everyone to train, everyone was very difficult at that time. At this time, Li Sangou took the initiative to stand up and tell his identity. ”
"This person has vision, and he was optimistic about you at that time."
"That is, he is a person who has been appreciated by Yeli and beggars. Then we talked a few words, and I asked him why he didn't go to the imperial court, at least in his capacity to get a half-official position. He then told what happened to his brothers. At that time, the minister was speechless to respond. Wan once falsely accused Weichen, saying that Cheng Kan colluded with the minister, which was actually wrong, and Cheng Gong once hated the minister to the core. In order to dissolve his hatred, the minister took a lot of effort. It wasn't until Cheng Gong was disheartened under Sima Guang's repeated attacks, and for the sake of Ke Yan, that he slightly reversed his opinion of the minister. However, the minister still wants to say that if there is no Cheng Kan to decisively take in Wang Wenliang, there will be no defection of Qingni Huaifang, Wei Mingyishan and others. ”
"In the past, the minister said that the shallow attack, and many people thought that the minister saw Fan Wenzheng's strategy, but the minister really didn't see it. However, Fan Wenzhenggong's strategy is also clearly written, approaching the minister's idea of a shallow attack, pressing step by step, resolutely suppressing those who do not surrender, and winning over those who surrender. The principle is the same, to carry out co-optation, division and suppression. In fact, the Western Xia side is also co-opting, dividing and suppressing the Fanzi on the border with our DPRK, but they are too poor, otherwise it will affect the border security. This strategy is worth 100,000 troops, if it is really sent back to Weiming Mountain, coupled with the mistakes made by the court in the previous mountains to meet the brothers, that is the big deal, since then, no one in the Western Xia will defect to our dynasty, then once the Western Xia is evil, the Western Xia people will sprout the will to die, and our army will fight bloody to the end. Li Sangou is the best example, I asked him to go to Huachi County, not to do things for the imperial court, but to help me, just like that, and persuaded for a long time before he agreed. Why, I was afraid that in case of the Xixia Yang's invitation, I sent his family to the Xixia people and shot them at the border. ”
"I see."
"There is also a benefit, this is a bit far away, but I will be very happy and proud when I say it." (To be continued......) R1292
