"Zi'an, the Wen Guild is very angry," Zhang Qi said.

This is a kind reminder from him, if he didn't know that Wang Ju had been in contact with Zhao Ji when he was in the imperial examination, and the relationship seemed to be very good, he would have been able to oppose it from the beginning.

Although Wang Ju has made great contributions this time, he is far from being Wen Yanbo's opponent.

"Brother Qianfu, listen to me, because of Duke Wen, the court's reward has been delayed for a long time, so what do the soldiers of the three armies think? I suspect that it was not that Duke Wen did not agree with the official reward, but deliberately delayed it for a long time and disappointed the three armies, so that from now on, the three armies would not be engaged in border affairs because of their military exploits. ”

It is quite possible.

"And it's been delayed for a long time, but my side has been constantly sending rewards, is it possible to let the officers and soldiers become my personal soldiers in the future?" Wang Ju said.

In fact, the best form is to reward the court immediately, and then Wang Ju will discount these salt profits, as well as the seized materials, as well as some money drawn out by several workshops, and distribute them, Wang Ju does not have to avoid suspicion, and the three armies cheered again, and they were all happy.

Now there is only Wang Ju's reward, but there is no reward from the court, what do the soldiers think? Besides, Wang Ju has the intention to become a private soldier, are these soldiers willing?

And the problem comes, maybe this will become the best excuse to attack Wang Ju in the future.

Zhang Qi sighed again and again.

Not only that, Wang Ju said again: "Song Xia was fighting in May last year, and then arrived in Luowu City......"

Originally, the people of Shaanxi were not so bitter, and they operated Luowucheng, sending troops from Qingjian City to Hedong, and then detouring to Linzhou from Hedong, where is the war zone close?

This year, there was still a bit of drought on Shaanxi Road, if it weren't for the changes brought by Zheng Baiqu. with an increase in grain production. The situation will be stricter. Therefore, Zhao Ji issued an edict. Let the people of Hedong Road bear the burden of grain and grass. But at this time, Lu Gongbi's subordinate Wang Anli, that is, Wang Anshi's fourth brother, spoke, saying that the people do not practice martial arts, and they are driving into battle today, even if they are not defeated by the enemy, because the weather is getting colder, they will freeze and starve to death, and they should be closed down and requisitioned.

Lu Gongbi thinks he is right. So he replied to Han Jiang, I want the soldiers to support you with some officers and soldiers, but you want the people, there is no one, and the food and grass are even more unthinkable.

Han Jiang will not be afraid of Lu Gongbi, but Hedong is Lu Gongbi's territory after all.

He had no choice but to transfer grain and grass from the rear of Shaanxi, and let the people transport grain and grass over, one crossed the Yellow River and the grain and grass were delivered, and the other had to be slowly transported from Chang'an to the front line. Even Linzhou, how much error will be generated by the loss of the two.

But then Luo Wucheng also gave up. Therefore, Lu Gongbi proudly wrote to the book, saying that because of Wang Anli, 40,000 people in Hedong were spared.

Then he tampered with it, saying that it was the Western Xia that violated the border, and Han Jiang asked him to mobilize 40,000 people in Hedong to defend it, because of Wang Anli, these 40,000 people could live.

In the battle of Luowucheng, when did the three armies of Western Xia commit Hedong Road?

But fortunately, there was Zheng Baiqu, but the Battle of Gyeongju broke out, and it didn't work with Zheng Baiqu, not only the people of Shaanxi Road, but also Gyeonggi West Road.

As for Hedong Road, with Lu Gongbi in charge, Wang Ju never thought about it at all.

"The people have some complaints, and if someone instigates them again, it will be a good excuse for impeachment, but I do this so that the people can see it with their own eyes. If it weren't for our warlike dynasty, would it be tacitly ignoring the Western Xia's occupation of Huanqing and Erzhou? This is a self-defense counterattack campaign, which has the name of righteousness. If it is bitter, they are bitter, and the officers and men of the three armies are even more bitter. They only paid some labor and a small amount of taxes, and the soldiers of the three armies paid for their lives. The people do not suffer from inequality, and with comparison, there will be no resentment. There is no resentment, and all that remains is the good news of the victory. At least everyone suffered a little, but in exchange for a rare victory. And I'm getting more and more ...... Weak, with such a great victory, the top and bottom of the three armies, as well as all the people, will raise their eyebrows, and with the will of the people and morale, the top and bottom of the three armies will be deformed. ”

This is a statement, Zhang Ji couldn't help but nodded.

"Brother Qianfu, the five gentlemen of Qingli, Duke Fan, Duke Wen, Duke Fu, Duke Han and Duke Pang have no experience in the northwest, how can they get on the throne?"

Fu Bi did not come to the northwest directly, but it was also because of the Northwest War, the Khitan took the opportunity to blackmail, and Fu Bi made a meritorious contribution to the negotiation of the Liao State, which was able to get the position, and it can also be said that it is related to the northwest.

But what happened to Zhang Kang and why? Because these gentlemen are in a group. If we talk about military affairs, political achievements, and ethics, in fact, there are many ministers in our dynasty who are above them. ”

Just like Bao Zheng, although it is not as magical as the legendary Bao Gong, it is actually not bad.

There is also Liu Xin, who was impeached and stepped down by Zhang Yu, in fact, there is Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, how can he not step down?

If you take it as an example, Wang Ju can name fifty famous ministers who are no less than these five gentlemen in one breath.

However, why can the five great gentlemen take the throne, and even bring other gentlemen, such as Yu Jing, Cai Xiang, Wu Yu, Ouyang Xiu and others, are also in high positions.

It is the experience of the northwest that Wang Ju said, and the group.

"Brother Qianfu, how many Xia soldiers Zhang Kangyu killed in Tumaochuan, can you tell an accurate number."

"I'll understand." Zhang Qi finally understood what Wang Ju was going to say.

Zhang Kang went to Fuzhou with a temporary official position in charge of the military and horse affairs of Goulin Mansion, after all, Fuzhou is the world of broken families, and it is not good for anyone to know anything.

In fact, this official position is to let Zhang Kang take full charge of the military affairs of Fulin Road.

Soon after the end of the Qingli War, the Qingli New Deal began, to the defeat, Zhang Kang's official position was still in the rising stage, successively known Yingzhou, Daizhou, Weizhou, and once served as the pacification envoy of Hedong. In this way, for a while, he was a civil servant, and for a while, he guarded the most important national gate for the Song Dynasty.

Until the seventh year of Qingli, Xia Zhu was the privy envoy, because Zhang Kang attacked Xia Zhu for his incompetence, he was demoted to the governor of Cizhou, and then the imperial history Song Xi impeached Zhang Kang for embezzling the minister's money in Fuzhou and leaving Zhishou Prefecture. In the Song Dynasty, it was quite normal for officials to be promoted and degraded, just like Wang Ju tripped Chen Xiang and took away several official positions. Guan Jian was later Zhang Kang always encountered all kinds of inexplicable reasons, so the official became smaller and smaller.

This is not the key point, the key is the record of the battles on Fulin Road seems to have disappeared, and few people mention it.

To what extent did he disappear, Li Taoxiu continued to govern the long compilation, and he collected information. The Rabbit Hair River is a two-battle battle. The first game was played by Wang Lin and Zhang Qi. This allowed Li Tao to find records, including Sima Guang's "Records of the Rivers", but there are discrepancies in the casualties of killing the enemy, some say thousands of people, some say 10,000 enemies.

But in the second larger-scale battle between Bai Ziqi and Tumaochuan, Li Tao could hardly find any records. Then Mr. Li relied on his imagination that Li Yuanhao personally led the army over, and after this battle was over. Li Yuanhao withdrew his troops due to a fiasco, so with a stroke of his pen, he wrote more than 60,000 beheadings.

This is not Zhang Kang Fan, but Zhang Kang Hei.

Western Xia participated in the Battle of Tumaochuan for the second time, how many soldiers and horses were there in total?

Also, in the battle of Haoshuichuan, Sima Guang recorded: 15 commanders and loyal envoys died, 271 soldiers, more than 6,700 soldiers, and 1,300 dead horses. (Xia) killed more than 5,900 captives. More than 1,400 households were cooked, and 2,206 accounts were burned. (Song) beheaded the thief at the level of five hundred and ten. One hundred and fifty-four horses.

In that battle, Ren Fu and Wang Jue fought for a day, no one surrendered, all of them died heroically, and only 500 enemies were killed?

I'm afraid that Wang Jue alone will kill a hundred enemies!

Therefore, when Li Tao was slender and compiled, he directly ignored the nonsense behind Sima Guang, and only recorded the front, and did not record the number of enemies killed in the back.

And that's not all.

Because these materials are gone, when later generations revised more than a dozen volumes of the tome "Compilation of Party and Western Xia Materials", they only saw three major defeats, and the great victory of Fulin Road, almost a brush.

The two battles for the defense of Dashun City were also not easy, one against 100,000 enemies and the other against 300,000 enemies, but the length was not even as long as Sima Guang's article.

The "General History of Western Xia" spends 256 pages on the Qingli War, but the battles of Fulin Road only occupy one and a half pages, and when the history of Li Liangzuo and the Daliang clan is recorded later, the two battles of Dashun City are almost not mentioned.

But what does Xia Zhu have to do with the gentlemen's party?

It has nothing to do with it, but this year, Wen Yanbo entered the Chinese book, and since then the Song Dynasty has entered the era of several great gentlemen taking turns to govern.

However, a problem that cannot be faced is that although they went to the northwest, God knows if they have any merits, at least they can't see any military exploits, so they are only in the position of extremely human ministers, so what about Zhang Kang?

This record can't even be ugly, so everyone understands and hides these records one by one.

The weirdest thing is that a thousand years later, I found a lot of information about the three major defeats, but I found the battle of Sansongling, the defense of Fuzhou, the defense of the Linjia, and the two battles of Tumaochuan, and I could hardly find it, and I didn't even have an entry for Du Niang. On the contrary, Han Qi became a famous military strategist of the Song Dynasty, and Han Qi was ...... Militarist???

When I think about it, Wang Ju wants to vomit blood.

So in the past, Wang Ju fought for Zhang Kang, but when Renzong woke up, Zhang Kang had already died, so he had to give his sons and a few shadow officials as compensation.

But that's not what Wang Ju is going to say.

He refers to himself and Zhang Qi, if he doesn't get it right, he will also face Zhang Kang's fate.

No one will do it now, but it's not easy to say in the future, so I just found an excuse and degraded it. Then learn what Renzong did to Zhang Kang, erase all the information and records one by one, and then all kinds of inexplicable mistakes come to the door, so Wang Ju and Zhang Qi may also disappear.

But after Wang Ju's trouble, even ten years later, many people will still remember that if a war breaks out, it's okay to win, and if it is defeated, the people will ask, what about Wang Ju, what about Zhang Qi.

This is the real fight against poison with poison, Zhang Ji thought helplessly in his heart.

Wang Ju said: "Brother Qianfu, I was also forced, and there are many people who hate me now, but because I don't support Jiefugong's change, Jiefugong will not support me." You and I may both be the children of my father and mother. Therefore, I can only save myself. Gong Wen is not happy, but there is no such thing, Gong Wen will be happy for you and me? ”

Aren't gentlemen coming to power just pulling into a group and touting each other?

Wang Ju is learning from their approach.

And there's a ......

"Brother hostage, I often mock the gentleman, but in this era, the gentleman is dead. Or, like my teacher, I will honestly go back to my hometown to teach. Wang Ju said meaningfully.

However, Zhang Qi did not disobey the harmony.

After a battle with Wang Ju, he almost became a grasshopper tied to a rope, which can be said to be both glory and humiliation.

Wang Ju explained, and suddenly asked, "Brother Qianfu, how much official loan did that Zu Yang borrow?" ”

"Ten thousand," Zhang Qi was happy, this kid was timid, encouraged him to borrow, and didn't dare to borrow. As a result, after Wang Ju exchanged materials for all kinds of wool and camel hair, he invited several clever Western Xia craftsmen for him, and deliberately released the sons of two of the craftsmen's families who participated in the war from the prisoners of war.

This is the beginning, and you will have to borrow more in the future, and the more you borrow, the more you will borrow.

"Brother Qianfu, let's take another piece of dew cloth, and allow the people of Yuanzhou, Ningzhou, and Juzhou to come to the front line to transport salt, but they must bring their own dry food and livestock vehicles."

In fact, some people in these three states have already entered the front line, and then spent money to buy fake places, pretending to be the people of the four states army, and participating in the transportation of salt, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi also knew, but they just pretended not to know.

The reason why there was this order was because of the news that the scouts in front of him gave back, and there was no movement in Western Xia, indicating that the damage brought by this battle to Western Xia was even more severe than Wang Ju expected.

Of course, doing so will bring more trouble to management.

However, time flies quickly, even if there are no other accidents, the summer harvest is coming, and the Song army will also withdraw.

This is the last crazy time, hence the forehead of Zhang Ji.

The two talked about business for a while.

At present, Wang Ju is sitting in Yanzhou, so they have tacitly made a division of labor, Zhang Ji is in charge of government affairs in the rear, as well as the dispatch of materials, and Wang Ju is responsible for the three armies on the front line, as well as the construction of forts and salt transportation.

However, it is also necessary to communicate properly, so Zhang Qi had to run on both sides......

After a conversation, Zhang Ji rode back to Gyeongju again.

"Zhang Zhifu is also a good official," Qiong Niang said, looking at his back.

"Originally, officialdom was the darkest place, and the battle between the law change and the anti-change law got into the horns one by one, and now what good officials and bad officials are there?" Wang Ju scoffed.

Then he looked up at the moon in the sky.

The sun is still setting, and the early moon in the first half of the string has risen to the willow tops, because of the cover of the sun, the yellow is gone, and only a ball of white remains.

He suddenly thought of another time and space, of course, another time and space where the material life was more affluent, just like the current salt transportation, at the peak, almost sixty or seventy thousand households participated, and he pushed the trading location forward for dozens of miles. But after a month, only a million stone of salt could be shipped back.

Changing to another time and space, using heavy trucks to load, this point can be easily transported two or three times a day, and at most 20 heavy trucks can be solved.

Although he lived such a humble life in that plane, he would not be as intrigued as he is now.

Wang Ju suddenly felt a little homesick, even though that home was so far away that it could hardly be measured by any distance, but suddenly, he just wanted to see the land.

Wang Ju turned his head and asked, "Qiongniang, do you want to go to the south?" ”

"South, it's hot."

"I want to go to the South......"

"The officials want to avoid this limelight...... Qiong Niang guessed, when it is high-profile, it must be high-profile, but when it is low-key, it must also be low-key. What Wang Ju did was to let everyone remember his merits, not to use them to compete for any official position.

With his age, what official position can he fight for? Besides, the last thing Wang Ju wants to go to now is the capital.

"But it's difficult, the official family may not let you go."

"I just want to go." (To be continued......)
