From Gyeongju to Kaifeng reached more than 1,000 miles, but thanks to the battle in the northwest of Gyeongli, the road conditions are now relatively good, and the use of fast delivery of letters, basically the battle on the front line, two to three days, will be sent to the capital.

The news you see now is not yesterday's news, but the day before yesterday, or even the day before yesterday.

The situation was good at the beginning, and the two days in Dashun City were called weird.

However, the advantage of the enemy's strength is obvious, although Dashun City let Dou Shunqing kill thousands of Xia troops, but the overall damage to the Western Xia army is not great.

This was followed by the movement of several enemy armies.

In order to make this group of "military blind" see more clearly, Wang Ju drew a map in Ningzhou the morning before yesterday. This map just arrived in Zhao Ji's hands, and Zhao Ji summoned everyone to Yanhe Hall for discussion.

Wang Ju marked their respective marching routes on the map, as well as possible future attack targets. For example, the news that Wang Ju received in Ningzhou before the Great Heavens was that Renduo Lingding's army was still gathering in Tongsaichuan, but Wang Ju drew their march route for the next few days, and the solid line was drawn to Huai'an Town and Fort Meili, and the dotted line was Slush Castle.

Fort America must also be the target of Renduo Lingding's attack in the future, otherwise the three roads cannot be linked. But Slush Castle is not very easy to say, if Murong does not cooperate, Chen Binghuanzhou will have no meaning.

But this is not terrible, what is terrible is the number of troops marked behind the arrows, Jintang City has about four to five thousand troops, which is to prevent the attack of Yanzhou and cut off the back road and materials and grain and grass of the Western Xia people. So the troops are a bit much. On the White Panther City side, there were two to three thousand troops. If the Song Dynasty did not counterattack the two cities, it could not be counted in the strength of the Song-Xia War. However, if it is counterattacked, it must also be included in the total number of troops deployed in the Western Xia War.

Dashun City is the main force. It's about thirteen to one hundred and fifty thousand. Because there are too many people. It can't be counted, only Liang Yibury and other Western Xia generals know in their hearts that the scouts can't be explored, and they can only make an estimate.

Then there is the direction and distribution of the troops of Liang Yi's various divisions, such as Dingge's side sent 15,000 to 20,000 troops to attack Anjiang Fort from the trail. Don't think that this force is small, Yao Lin's troops in the hands of Anjiang Fort, including strong men and strong horses, are less than 5,000 people. Moreover, there is also Liang Yongneng's army attacking in the front. On the west side of Dashun City, 20,000 to 25,000 Xia troops were left behind, and they were trapped in Dashun City. Second, the grain and grass behind Gongwei are heavy. This strength is also twice the existing strength of Dashun City. As for how many troops will be left on the back side of Dashun City, because it was the news of the morning before yesterday, it has not been marked on the map.

On Renduo Lingding's side, there were about 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and Liang Yongneng's troops were about 60,000 to 70,000.

That is to say, the troops sent by Western Xia this time are at least 260,000, and if you include the two cities of Jintang White Leopard and the thousands of troops killed by Dou Shunqing, it will reach at least more than 270,000. At most, 300,000, really 300,000! This also verifies the incomparable accuracy of the information sent by Han Yun.

Of course, Wang Ju's reason for doing this is also very simple, so many enemies. Don't blame me for raising the people or worrying about the people.

"Maniac. Lunatic. Wu Chong muttered.

Just such a small country can send out 300,000 troops. Don't look at the many troops raised by the Song Dynasty, and don't dare to play like this, not afraid of working the people and losing money, and ruining the country?

Wu Chong made a mistake, he dared to think that the situation of Western Xia and Song Dynasty was the same.

If the Song Dynasty sent out 300,000 troops, the consumption it would bring was unimaginable. Just like the five-way war in history, although it claims to be 500,000, there are actually only 300,000 troops, and the rest are people. The folk husband of the Song Dynasty was a real folk man, and it was impossible to send it on the battlefield. However, after the failure of the Five Roads to Conquer Xia, the Song Dynasty also destroyed the gold and silver mountains of the Song Dynasty. If this was done at the beginning of Xining, the Song Dynasty would even have the possibility of losing the country.

But was Western Xia a Song Dynasty?

If that's the case, Cao Wei, Liu Shu and Sun Wu, or many dynasties in previous history, don't know how many times they died.

However, even if the Western Xia used troops to save military expenses, and there were 300,000 troops at every turn, only a madman dared to do this. Although the two Liang are not crazy people, and they are also good at power and scheming, they are definitely two crazy war maniacs!

Everyone's expressions were extremely heavy.

Sure enough, it was 300,000, and since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a single battle, facing 300,000 enemy troops. Moreover, it was not the 300,000 enemy troops of the Southern Tang, the Southern Han and the Shu Kingdom, but the 300,000 iron cavalry of the nomadic Western Xia.

Everyone was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Feng Jing said: "According to the front-line report, the Khitan Yin sent 300,000 soldiers (referring to the army not in the Youyun region, but on the prairie), which is not known to China. ”

This seems to be possible, if the Liao State violates the Song Dynasty, it does not necessarily have to come from Hebei, if they cooperate with the Tangut people, draw the army on the prairie to Yinshan, and then cooperate with the Tangut people, and fight on both sides, at least Fulin Road is not guaranteed, and even Suizhou and Yanzhou are all in danger.

Zhao Ji asked in surprise: "Is this really the case?" ”

This is not a joke, it is that this 300,000 Western Xia army has already made everyone tremble. Another 300,000 Liao army, how to deal with it?

Wang Anshi was suspicious, although Wang Ju explained the reason why it was impossible for the Liao State to send troops before leaving. But it's hard to say, what if they do send troops? I believe that Wu Chong is a privy deputy envoy, and he will not joke about this.

He thought for a while and said: "Although it is not surprising that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he first ran Suizhou, and then sought Yinzhou (referring to the south side of Yinzhou, including the Luowucheng area), breaking its lip and tooth trend. This will make the Liao people think that if China conquers the Xia Kingdom, it should be Youyan. Moreover, the Xia State is young and young, and the women are in trouble, and they have no plans, in case they are defeated, the Western Xia will perish, which is not good for the Liao State. Therefore, it is possible to send troops to obstruct our DPRK and weaken our DPRK's national strength. ”

"If so, what should I do?"

"His Majesty should be braked by static, although a Khitan is added, the side affairs may not be unbearable, but if there is an enterprising move, the consequences are not known to the minister. Besides, if we can clear the wilderness and accumulate grain to wait for the enemy, the enemy will not be able to suffer deeply. For example, the invasion of Western Xia could only threaten the fortresses on the border of Gyeongju, but did not dare to immediately attack the city of Gyeongju. The two countries are at a stalemate on the border. How long can the grain storage last? If Gyeongju does not make a heavy mistake. Less than a month. The enemy will retreat. The same goes for the Khitan. Therefore, the country should recalculate, cherish the grain reserves, do not harm the people's strength, and then treat the enemy's provocation with quietness, then there will be no worries about external troubles. ”

Wang Anshi is implementing the reform of the warehouse method and the regular closing of positions.

What he meant was that as long as these two methods were done well and the grain storage was complete, the Song Dynasty would be safe and sound in the future...... Anyway, don't expect Wang Anshi to put forward any clever opinions in the military, but this is the method of closing positions and the method of positions. Indeed, it is also a good law.

Feng Jing said: "I'm afraid that it will evolve into the situation of Qingli. ”

Wang Anshi was about to speak, but Fan Zhen rushed to the front and said: "Since last year's border incident, Hedong and Shaanxi economic strategy and transport officials have said that in order to provide grain and grass for the front line, almost all the volunteers and brave men have been used as people to transport grain to the front line, which is quite harassing. ”

Zhao Ji was suddenly stunned, so once upon a time, when he and Wang Ju talked about Han Qi's righteousness, Wang Ju said, I'm afraid you will be reluctant to ban righteousness and courage at that time. Why. Because of righteousness and bravery, although the people of Shaanxi went to the sea. But when the war comes, using them as civilian husbands will really save military spending.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji felt extremely bitter in his heart.

Fan Zhen continued: "Your Majesty, now in order to deal with the battle of Gyeongju, the Transshipment Division has to borrow millions of money and silk from Changping Guangcang, a few roads in the north of the Shaanxi River, in order to buy military rations. Last fall, because he wanted to operate Luo Wucheng, he had borrowed 100,000 yuan and had not repaid it, and the new loan was dozens of times that of last year. Shaanxi officials have written one after another, saying that in response to the rate of the Xuanfu and pacification envoys (referring to Han Jiang and Wang Ju), the people's strength is already unbearable. Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, the edict should be written to the king, and the enemy should be quickly beaten, and if the enemy cannot be defeated and let him retreat, then he must also be beaten, and it will be delayed for a long time, and then negotiate peace with him, it will be very easy. In this way, the pressure of the Liao State was relieved, and the people were able to live. ”

That sounds reasonable.

But think about the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Weishui, the Battle of Hanzhong, these extraordinarily large conference battles, wasn't that battle stalemate for months?

This is the Western Xia people hastily launched an attack in a hurry, and their national strength is not enough to support a long general battle, otherwise it is possible to fight in the northwest and officially bloom in spring.

And with so many enemies, can you strike them quickly and force them to negotiate peace or retreat? Does the Song army have that combat effectiveness?

It's not that Fan Zhen framed Wang Ju.

This was a common occurrence in the Song Dynasty. Just like Yang Kai forced Xia Zhu to sweep Western Xia with 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers. Xia Zhu is a little better, he is a Wenchen and Song Renzong's teacher.

It is called sad among the planters......

Moreover, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and this group of scholars fled to Jiangnan and still did not reflect.

Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zhen is very serious. ”

Zhao Ji didn't react, thought for a while and said, "Then that's it, the next edict will be delivered to Ningzhou." ”

Why Wang Ju stayed in Ningzhou also stated the reason in the book. And no one will accuse Wang Ju of being cowardly, he is the master who dares to go to the battlefield to kill people in person, can it be said that Wang Ju is greedy for life and afraid of death? And the unprecedented enemy arrived, and before this 300,000 enemy and the victory or defeat was undecided, no one dared to criticize Wang Ju's tactics.

But this time, everyone thought wrong, what kind of person is Wang Ju, Shi Dafu, Wenchen, in the Song Dynasty, these two words represent tall, Wei Zhengguang, representing the biggest hooligan, domineering side leakage, thick skin invincible, super black belly and shameless! The upper dynasty can be a sanctimonious gentleman, and the lower dynasty can be a literate super hooligan.

We're all part of this gangster group, and who's afraid of whom.

So Feng Jing was embarrassed not long after......

Zhao Ji was about to announce that everyone should step down, and Xue Changchao, the imperial historian, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are sloppy, let Li Dingwei be the mother who is born, why don't you report it?" ”

Li Ding's mother's matter, after Su Dongpo's step-by-step push, has been tossed for more than half a year, and it is not over yet.

Wang Anshi dismissed many imperial histories, but he couldn't let the imperial histories be empty, and he allocated a number of imperial histories, including Lin Dan and Xue Changchao.

The two men followed. First of all, Lin Dan was sparse, and at the beginning, he took the service as the year of service, and heard the court's decree to pursue it, and said that the Qiu family was not born to him, and he repeated the end of the day, and actually avoided chasing him. The word Fu Yi etiquette is the big end of the court, and it must be corrupted and human, and it cannot be invited.

Li Ding did not say that Qiu was not his biological mother, only said that Qiu was dead, he didn't know, his father was afraid that someone would make a fuss in the future, and asked Li Ding to come back to raise him because of his old age, so Li Ding resigned and went home to raise his old father for a few years. That is, Li Ding is in the Ding worry time. He didn't become an official.

But Lin Dan is a minister. Yanchen can hear things. What is a rumor, that is, even if you hear some rumors, you can even write a book of impeachment.

But it is not for you to spread rumors.

But how big is the difference between rumors and rumors, who can say clearly?

The first performance is not reported, and the second music comes again: according to the original words, knowing that the Qiu family is the mother, although she did not serve, she tried to relieve the official service. His feelings are forgivable. Because of the court's repeated interrogation, both to avoid pursuit and fear of offense, so as Miao You's untruthful words, hoping to be a lifelong suspicion, deceive his heart, and confuse the court, this is the common evil of the world. The envoy asked for self-acceptance, but he still could not escape the responsibility of the famous religion, and the court re-questioned, and the speakers were different. After years and months, there has been no resignation. Safe and contented, a little fearless, then he betrayed his relatives, thieves hurt loyalty and filial piety, nothing more than this. The court moved officials to their posts, and they were persuaded to persuade them, but the ministers really didn't know what they could do.

The third music: Father and son are hidden, and the saint thinks it is straight. Today, Li asked about the selfishness of the boudoir, the Gao family and the Qiu family's usual unjust couples, because of fate, they were violent and ugly, noisy about the government and the opposition, showing the evil of their father's injustice, and forgetting the grace born of their mother.

This time, even Li Ding's father was unlucky.

But did Lin Dan ever think that because Li Ding's father was poor, the Qiu family ran away and remarried, what did Li Ding's father think? Could it be that after being put on a super green hat by his own woman, the husband is still grateful, not only for himself, but also for his son? Grandma's, this idea is too TMD's edgy, too TMD's benevolence.

In the fourth play, Prime Minister Wang Anshi went out of his door with a fixed element, and his strength was recommended, although the old evil was exposed, he was still tortuous, and the person who said the thing was perfunctory and reasonable, and he did not care about it. Huainan transshipment made Liu Jin, Dingyin intersected, and hoped to join the association, pretending to be suspicious, attaching it to the top, and deceiving the outside and the inside, so that the unfilial person was promoted to the king's side. The minister is in the book, and An Shi is the minister's words, and this matter is self-conscious. The minister hears about the ancient things of the king, and the good is called the king. Now everyone knows that the Qiu family is the fixed mother, and An Shi thinks it is wrong; Everyone knows that it is not filial, and An Shi thinks it is okay.

This time, he directly pointed the finger at Wang Anshi, and even Huainan transferred Liu Jin unlucky.

However, Liu Jin really married Li Ding? No, the court asked him to check, so he sent someone to check, and after the investigation, he told the truth. Is it because you didn't go along with you to pour Wang Anshi, overthrow Wang Anshi's reforms, and make Li Ding dirty, so you have become a person who wants to go along with him and attach himself to the superiors?

In short, Wang Anshi's reform does have many problems.

But some of the conservatives' practices are not even villains, and their actions are even worse than some market shrews.

Lin Dan didn't report it for six times in a row, and Xue Changchao came again, and he connected seven times, making Wang Anshi extremely disgusting.

Li Ding's chasing service time is not very long, and there is another love, but it is just a hundred days to chase mourning clothes. But after this conclusion, what did Li Ding become, the first unfilial son of the Great Song Dynasty!

Wang Anshi said angrily: "This matter has already been decided! Li Ding didn't know it at the time, and the imperial court also punished Li Ding. ”

There are two examples, Fan Zhongyan's mother once remarried, but after her death, Fan Zhongyan was filial piety, but can that be compared with Li Ding's mother? Although Fan's mother remarried, she continued to bring Fan Zhongyan to her side and raised her with hard work. What about the Qiu family?

Moreover, in the early Ming Dynasty, Jinshi Wang Xi had seen the story of Li Ding, after the death of his remarried mother, he wrote a letter asking for filial piety for his mother for three years.

If your mother remarried, it would be a loss of moderation, and you don't need to keep filial piety for three years. Confucius also said something similar, after the mother remarried, she was no longer a family member, and the children did not have to keep filial piety after her death.

Why, this is the true intention of loyalty and filial piety constructed by Confucius, benevolence and filial piety, so that there is little care, and the old are supported, so that tragedy will not occur. The emperor must be benevolent to the people and officials, so the ministers must also be loyal to the king's country, so that the country can be governed well.

A mother who doesn't care about her husband and her children, and remarries someone else for her own selfish happiness, so why should her children keep filial piety for them? However, this issue is very complicated, the same remarriage, such as Fan Zhongyan's mother, such as Wang Ju's mother, such as Li Ding's mother, their respective circumstances are different.

So Confucius said very vaguely.

Coupled with the distortion of later generations, this ritual became very miserable, and evolved into the death of the king and the minister, the death of the minister, the death of the father, the death of the son, and the death of the son.

Then the education method became beating is pain, scolding is love.

Shengsheng turned the interactive side of Confucius into a one-sided and humble side. As for Su Dongpo, does he really not understand? Can Qiu compare to his mother? In fact, it doesn't matter if you are filial or not, the main thing is to disgust Li Ding and Wang Anshi. Therefore, Su Dongpo's role in this matter is no less than that of a clown, so in the Wutai poetry case, Su Dongpo may not really deserve the sympathy of future generations.

But filial piety is the first of all kinds, and Wang Anshi does not dare to fight excessively.

Therefore, Wang Ju is worried that he will end up with the fate of Li Ding in the future......

Wen Yanbo said on the side: "Jiefu, filial piety is a national matter, and you can't be sloppy. ”

Well, the argument began, Yan zhòng "crooked building".

Zhao Ji was speechless with anger, and waved his sleeves and said, "Scatter." ”

Everyone retreated one by one, Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair in a daze, 300,000 enemies invaded, and immediately burned his eyebrows, so he called everyone to discuss.

As a result, it was discussed whether Li Dingxiao was filial or not.

What's going on? Zhao Ji couldn't figure it out. (To be continued......)
