The two eunuchs finally couldn't help it and bent over with a smile. But they immediately looked at each other.

Wang Ju and Fan Zhongyan are different, they are ice and snow on the top of a high mountain, spotless, Wang Ju's entire rag in the red dust, how to wipe it easily, whether it is greasy or dirty.

To be precise, Wang Ju is Fan Zhongyan's other party's courtier, not a person who is a person all the way, if you talk about a person who is a person all the way, there is really a person, Lu Yijian, these two people's styles of doing things are really similar. And it seems to be more difficult than Lu Yijian, to fight, to be able to carry a bow and arrows and ride a horse on the battlefield to be the first to release arrows, to write, to write books and speak, or to be a jinshi in front of the second class, to have means, to have wisdom, to have strategy.

Look at these unruly children, Wang Juxun has become an obedient and well-behaved child, and he is also grateful to Dade. Besides, the important one, Wang Ju's age is only a little older!

The two looked at each other in unison.

What the means are, it has nothing to do with them, but what they see seems to be witnessing the rise of a capable minister.

The country has lost a dying old minister, but it has gained a rising young minister, which one is more important? As long as these things are said together and this funny joke is retold again, the official family will be happy.

Is there any need to linger?

The next day, they immediately left Huachi, but they still went to Yanzhou, Wang Ju did not say it, as if it was very important, and did not care about delaying the Tao for three or four days.

…………

"What a beautiful mountain," Concubine Li said happily.

It is the beginning of the first month, the ice and snow of Meridian Mountain have not yet begun to melt, and the mountain is covered with a thick layer of white yarn, but there are still many evergreen trees on the mountain, so Meridian Mountain is like a graceful girl wearing a blue and white dress, lying obliquely there.

In fact, there are many mountainous areas in the north that can see similar scenery.

But the destruction of water and soil in Yanzhou is too strict, the turbid river water, and the bare and barren mountains, so Concubine Li was fascinated when she saw the water of Huachi and Meridian Mountain.

This is the mountain, this is the water.

Wang Ju smiled and said: "After Qingming sacrificed the ancestral tomb for me, you will bring the second girl and the third brother to Huachi County again, and I will bring you to Meridian Mountain. ”

"Okay."

Concubine Li said happily.

In fact, she is still a child, that is, she will get married in the next year, and Concubine Li is also young, but she can barely do it.

The group walked forward, and Ge Shaohua suddenly asked, "Which road is more important, Fengjun Road and Huafu Road?" ”

"Brother Zishen, what do you think?"

Kashiki said.

Without him, this road will be repaired again, although Huachi can not be closely linked with the security army, but can be connected with Yanzhou, although it is still not a road after repair, Wang Ju does not have the funds and manpower to repair the road, but repair a repair, at least tens of thousands of soldiers do not bring grain, grass and baggage, from Yanzhou three or four days can reach Huachi. There is no need to bring food and baggage, it is not to go to enemy territory, Gyeongju's troops will provide logistics when they reach Yeonju, and Yeonju's troops will provide logistics, and when Yeonju's troops arrive in Gyeongju, Gyeongju's troops will also provide logistics. When the two major theaters had to join forces, what was lacking was not food and grass, but troops, and it was also a time when 100,000 people were in a hurry.

But the two theaters of war can form a whole.

Look at Fengyun Road again, it also has a role, not only the current private business road, after a little repair, Huachi will be able to trade with Yanzhou, and it will have a wide range of commercial and civilian roles in the future, and even when Huachi materials are tight, there is one more road to transport the rear materials.

But what is the Northwest for, not a commercial area, but a military area.

Wang Ju shook his head and said, "Brother Zishen, do you know the Slender Waist City and the Gourd Village?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you know why Fan Wenzheng built these two villages in the first place?"

"It's not clear."

Before the Qingli War, the number of military forts in the northwest was less than one-fifth of what it is now, including Gyeongju Huanzhou Yanju, and there were only a few military forts in Huanzhou at that time. Above Yuanzhou, there are three major tribes, namely Zhanzang, Mingzhu and Kangnu, who use the gap in the western part of Yuanzhou to collude with the Tangut people, and they are big clans themselves, and often do evil. The officers and soldiers suppressed several times, but the people of the three ethnic groups plundered the wilderness, the mountains and forests were lush, but they did not succeed. At this time, Fan Wenzheng mentioned yì and built a thin waist city and a gourd village above them. Later, Fan Wenzheng was no longer in Gyeongju, but the imperial court still adopted his construction, built two bars, and built two bars, and suddenly blocked the road between the three clans and the Tangut people. The three tribes were gone, and the court sent people to subdue them, and the three tribes successively asked the court to surrender, so the territory of Yuanzhou was stable. ”

"I see."

"Not only that, Fan Wenzheng also has an intention, the thin waist city is seventy miles away from Liuyuan Town, Yuanzhou, thirty-seven miles away from Dingbian Village in Huanzhou, and Huluquan and Zhenrong Army Qianxing Village face each other."

"In other words, after these two pillars are built, the three state armies of Huanzhou, Yuanzhou and Zhenrong Army are also closely linked, isn't that more important than Huafu Dao?"

"It's not more important, it's ten times more important, I make an analogy, if Yanzhou sends troops to Zhenrong Army, if it is common sense that you must go south from Yanzhou to Yanzhou, go around in a big circle to reach Weizhou, and then from Weizhou to Zhenrong Army. However, after these two villages are built, they can go directly from Yanzhou to Gyeongju, from Gyeongju to Huanzhou, and rush straight to the Zhenrong army, and the distance is reduced by half. But the last time I went to Huanzhou, I took a look at it by the way, and the two bars were almost deserted. ”

"How so?"

"If the three tribes of Tibet continue to do evil, they still have the meaning of survival, but the three tribes have returned to the imperial court, and some forts have been built in front of the slender waist village, and the three tribes cannot communicate directly with the Western Xia. What's the point of the rest? It is the connection between these two major side roads. But the imperial court was peaceful, and even the Western Xia came to invade and plunder, so where did he think that the two theaters of war would join forces to destroy the enemy? So what's the use of this connection? ”

It's useless, and it doesn't matter how important it is.

"There are many drawbacks, but Zi'an, Fan Wenzhenggong still has merit."

"There is merit, let's talk about Huanqing Road, Tiebian Cottage, Huluquan Village, Huai'an Town, Rouyuan Village, Huai'an Dongyu Village, Huai'an Xiyu Village, Yonghe Village, Ni Village, Snow Village, Dingbian Village, Fengchuan Town, Pingrong Village, Shichang Town, Ansai Village, Tianshui Fort, Pingyuan Village, Mubo Town, White Leopard City, Dashun City, Slender Waist City, Suyuan City, so many forts, all have the shadow of Fan Wenzheng, some were built by him himself, some were built by him, some were built by him, some were expanded by him, and some were strengthened by him. Although some of the forts are no longer functional, most of them are still functional. For example, Fengchuan Town, it was Fan Wenzheng who sent people to rebuild it, and it became the current fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is precisely with its storage zài that I dare to widen the Tuoping Fengyun Road, but there is Fengchuan Town as the heaviest checkpoint, and the Xixia people do not dare to covet Huachi, take Fengchuan, and enter Yanzhou, so it is better to come to Yanzhou from Yanzhou. ”

"Yes, that's true."

"But my evaluation of Fan Wenzheng is meritorious, but not great. First, this way of defending against the enemy is very clumsy, and to build a fort, you have to send an army to garrison it, so that it can be effective. The more forts are built, the more scattered the troops are, and the more financial resources are wasted. It is hard to imagine that the military expenses of our dynasty are redundant, almost three times the annual budget of the Tang Dynasty. This clumsy tactic is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. Secondly, look at the time of construction. ”

"When it was built?"

"Pang Jigong also built a lot of forts in Yanzhou, but when was that? The first emperor was benevolent, unprecedented, but why did the people in many places in western Beijing and Shaanxi riot after the Qingli War*? First, there was a drought, and second, in order to support the cost of the Qingli War, officials from all over the country desperately harsh the people. The people could no longer live, and this is why there was violence*. But why didn't the first emperor send officials to provide disaster relief? The state has no money, not only the three divisions have no money, but even the inner treasury has no money. Where did so much money go, you must know that it may be two or three hundred million, three or four billion dollars, grain and grass. ”

"yes, that's weird."

"It's strange, just like my three wars, I don't talk about the income from the capture, only the expenditure, the wear and tear of weapons, and the soldier's pension reward, which is not counted, only the pension reward from the court, but 100,000 yuan. In the first battle of Sanchuankou, Liu Ping brought three times more soldiers and horses than in my hands, and the losses were heavier, but 500,000 guan is enough, so I plan to 1 million guan. The good water river is even worse, three million runs. Dingchuan was extremely miserable. 10 million, 20 million. The loss on the side of Fulin Road was not small, but it was won. Ten million runs. But how did it become 300 million? ”

This account is strictly wrong.

"The problem is very simple, because of the increase in troops, the increase in troops will increase the supply of food, logistics materials, and now a bucket of millet in Huachi is only a dozen Wen, and the Central Plains is even cheaper, less than ten Wen. However, because it had to be transported to the northwest in a very short time, embezzlement and waste, the cost of a bucket of millet to the northwest could reach three or four hundred yuan, and the highest one could reach more than one thousand yuan. Hundreds of thousands of troops, countless people, and tens of thousands of war horses, how much expensive grain and grass do they consume every day? That's a drain of years. At that time, Fan Wenzhenggong was repairing the fort, so I didn't mention the salary, at least I had to provide food for the people, which was not a few pennies of millet, but a few hundred cents of millet. After a fort is repaired, what you see on the books of Gyeongju is the loss of food and materials, but when it comes to the books of the third division, how much does it cost? ”

In this way, Ge Shaohua understood.

Therefore, before the Song Dynasty, the state also appointed many important ministers' doormen and staff as officials, and they not only followed the important ministers for many years, but also accumulated a lot of experience. Just like the Wang Ming in the First Battle of the Anhui River Estuary, this is a far underestimated cadre in the Northern Song Dynasty, both civil and military, he started as a staff member of the Later Jin Dynasty general Yao Yuanfu, and gradually entered the official career.

Besides, Ge Shaohua, after staying by Wang Ju's side for five or six years, if he is released, he can also become a good grassroots official.

However, the one who can roll the name outside the Donghua Gate of the Song Dynasty is a good man, so don't say anything.

The group continued to walk forward, and at this time Zhu Qing rode over, came to them, got off his horse and said, "Wang Zhi County, a hundred Tubo horses have been transported to Huachi County. ”

"Oh, let's go back and have a look."

Wang Ju took everyone back on horseback.

He also brought Concubine Li, Concubine Li couldn't ride a horse, so Wang Ju asked her to sit behind her and hold herself, the people in the northwest were open, and it was normal, but Concubine Li's face was always blushing.

Back in Huachi County, it was also dark.

Wang Ju held a torch to watch, the horse is not too good, it can only be said that it is average, but if you want Qinghai Xuan in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible, the people of Dafei Sichuan can't survive, can they still raise good horses?

And the price is also more expensive than the original.

Fortunately, there is not much shortage in the number of horses now.

Before sending troops last year, Wang Juxian thought about the question of whether Western Xia would retaliate?

In the end, I thought it was impossible, although the first reason might lead to heavy losses in Western Xia, but it was within the range of Li Liangzuo's endurance, unless he wanted to occupy the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, then Li Liangzuo would really have to fight hard.

The second is the degree of gathering troops, the Song Dynasty is mostly infantry, the army moves slowly, the Western Xia is mostly cavalry, and the march is fast, but the Western Xia is mostly a military system, and the small-scale use of troops will be very fast, but the large-scale use of troops will not be fast. Don't look at Li Yuanhao's movement is 100,000 soldiers and horses, and before marching, there must also be a long time to gather troops.

But a large-scale collection of troops, that is war, Western Xia has to consider the severity, this consideration requires intelligence, needs to be considered, it also takes time, plus the time to gather troops, the deep winter is coming, the ice and snow are closed, and it is unlikely that troops will be dispatched.

With a small number of troops, Wang Ju was not afraid, so he finally decided to show his sword.

This will be the case this year, and even if there is an invasion, spring is highly unlikely. It's not about the time of the build-up, it's about supply. Western Xia was poor, and half of the supply was counting on plunder. How much material and grass can be looted in the spring? Only after autumn, when a large amount of grain and grass was prepared in each fort, even the common people's villages had harvested, and livestock were also prepared for pasture for winter, and at that time, the invasion could reduce the burden of supply by fighting and feeding the war.

But it's not certain, what if the Xixia people are nervous and don't play cards according to common sense?

Therefore, after the war last year, Wang Ju continued to send a large number of scouts to probe for intelligence, in order to prepare in advance. This is still the case this year, what if the Tangut invade in the spring? The Battle of Mikawaguchi is the first month, and the Battle of Kosui River is also the first month!

So the sooner these horses come, the better. In fact, after hearing that the Western Xia general had not moved, Wang Ju also regretted it faintly in his heart, knowing that this was the case, it was better to leave some more horses at the beginning.

Wang Ju nodded after looking at it: "Steward Zhu, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Wang Zhixian, how to say this is a foreign word." Zhu Qingdao.

"I'm bothering you," Wang Ju said again. This time, without the help of the Zhu family and the Li family, many things would not be possible with their bare hands. And for the sake of this horse, Zhu Qing personally went to Weizhou to deal with those strange merchants, and he also took some risks.

Qiu County Lieutenant and Du Zhu Bo greeted him and said, "Those two lieutenant envoys came to Huachi Town again, but they only stayed for one night, and then they went to Yanzhou. ”

"I know," Wang Ju said. The two eunuchs went to Yanzhou to ask Cheng Kan, Wang Ju knew that there was a ghost behind the matter of Qingni Huai, but he didn't want to investigate deeply, if it weren't for the fear that what he said would also be leaked, Wang Ju didn't even want to mention it.

For example, Sanding Thorn One, he just said a few words casually, and he brought a lot of negative effects to himself.

So even though Wang Ju knew that the Puyi dispute would bring extremely strict danger, he didn't say anything.

Wang Ju continued to look at the horse, although the horse arrived, there was still a hidden danger, and said: "6 Ping, you immediately ride to Liyuan Fort to inform General Yao, and let him personally bring someone over next year to bring the horse back to Liyuan Fort, and come to see me, I have something to discuss with him." ”r1152
