Chapter 457: Grip (II)
"yes. Your Majesty, since Li Jiqian, Xia Kou has never sent an army of 300,000 to fight, if Western Xia does not stop this invasion, even if Weichen thinks about it now, the danger at that time, he also feels a sense of kinship. Wechen is really not sure. It's better to let Han Gong lead the defense of Gyeongju. Wang Ju thought for a while and said.
But when he said this, everyone was all in their hearts.
This is 300,000 enemies, not 300,000 ants.
Wang Ju has also fought several glorious victories, although Han Jiang has deep qualifications, high official positions, and no problem with age, but Han Jiang has fought any major battles. Even if the battle of Jintangcheng was launched, it was still unsuccessful, and it almost lost Shunning Village.
Isn't Wang Ju talking the opposite?
Zhao Ji suddenly woke up and immediately stopped talking.
Lu Huiqing also woke up, he was clever enough to resolve it for Zhao Xu, and then asked: "Zi'an, although there are many enemies, you are familiar with Dashun City." β
"Brother Jifu, yes, I and Cai Gong have been preparing for the battle of Dashun City for a long time, and we narrowly won, but how much time is there to prepare now? Responding to the battle in a hurry, with such a huge disparity in troops, how can it be said that it is not dangerous? β
It's all burning ass right away, and there's time to prepare.
"So what do you say?"
It can't be said that Wang Ju is in control, let alone Western Xia, that is, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there will be more than 300,000 enemy troops?
Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, if you insist on letting Weichen go, please give Weichen the following errands." β
"What?"
"Huanqing Road pacification envoy and Shaanxi Road pacification envoy."
"The pacification envoy of Shaanxi Road is Zeng Gongliang!" Wu Chong said dissatisfiedly, and thought in his heart, you kid is so big.
"Wu Gong. Then let Zeng Gong go to Gyeongju to preside over the defense. Wang Ju didn't think about it. Just said.
Zeng Gongliang is old. No matter what official position he carries, it is a duty of honor, can it be taken seriously? However, Wang Ju also knew that the conditions he proposed were too high, so he changed his tone and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a temporary errand, and when the war is over, the ministers will immediately resign them." If the princes think it is inappropriate, when the minister goes to Gyeongju. Still going to Gyeongju as an official of Dali Temple to evaluate the matter, there is a punishment, and if there is merit, it will be rewarded. β
There is absolutely no problem with this, in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Ne was in command as a white cloth, presided over the Battle of Qinghai, and defeated Tubo.
Let's not talk about the strange official system of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji thought about it, Wang Ju is not an excessive request, if he does not have great power in his hands, when the time comes, it will not only be the deployment of troops, but also the logistics of grain and grass. Arranged by the people, supported by the army in the surrounding areas. will make Wang Ju painful, so he said: "I am also accurate." β
Wang Ju said again: "In addition, the minister wants to beg His Majesty to issue an edict to transfer Yan Da and Liu Yu to Gyeongju. β
This request was not excessive, and Zhao Ji immediately agreed.
Wang Ju was even happier in his heart.
Now there are generals such as Yao Ji, Chonggu and Lin Guang in Gyeongju, as well as Li Sangou, although Li Sangou is in his early fifties, he can still fight, at least no less than the original veteran Zhao Ming. There is also a veteran Dou Shunqing, who went to Gyeongju to replace Yang Sui. From the resumes of the two, Dou Shunqing is more brilliant than Yang Sui.
Wang Ju was wrong to think so, in another time and space, it was this Yang Sui and Lin Guang who defended Dashun City.
In addition, there are Gao Min, Guo Qing and other generals, and their combat power is not bad, but this Wang Ju also doesn't know.
However, Wang Ju still has a few good cards in his hand, that is, Liu Changzuo, Wang Junwan, Yao Lin and Chong Yi who stayed in Zheng Baiqu to train soldiers.
However, these four generals never participated in a large-scale battle, and Yan Da and Liu Yu arrived to make up for this shortcoming.
But there is still a shortcoming, Wang Ju asked: "Your Majesty, where is Zhang Qi today?" β
"Judge in Shaanzhou," replied Zhao, and he thought to himself, "Haven't you corresponded to each other?"
"Your Majesty, after the last battle of Dashun City, Cai Gongren was the governor of the border state, Yao Yu continued to stay in Liyuan Fort, and Zhang Yu was still the deputy governor when he arrived in Hebei, even if Weichen was young and had little qualifications, was Zhang Qi young? His Majesty really treats the heroes. β
Although Zhao Ji was busy changing the law, it was indeed Zhao Ji's mistake.
However, Wang Ju also gave Zhao Ji face, which has nothing to do with the emperor, but more or less the friendship that he has, otherwise Wang Ju will be scolded, and if he fails, he will be punished, and if he wins, there will be people looking for trouble, and he will not be rewarded, who wants to fight on the battlefield for you?
"It was my mistake."
A few people are still dissatisfied, but the enemy is currently in power, and they don't dare to touch the king's eyebrows.
"Then Wechen implores His Majesty to transfer Zhang Qi to Gyeongju as a judge."
"That's fine."
Wang Ju was even happier in his heart, with Zhang Qi, there would be almost no problem in this battle.
But it wasn't over yet, Wang Ju turned his head to look at the ministers and asked: "Princes, there is one thing that the lower officials don't understand, Xue Rengui killed 100,000 Tiele prisoners in the Tianshan Pit, and when he was old, Xue Rengui just took off his armor and let the Turkic wolf bΓ¨i escape. But after the Tianshan Killing Prisoner, Xue Rengui was impeached by the ministers, so he went to Dafeichuan and gave benevolent governance, but Tuyuhun was not only not grateful, but on the contrary, he joined forces with Tubo and defeated Xue Rengui. Why is that? β
"Wang Ju, you have to talk nonsense, Xue Rengui's defeat is due to discord with Guo Zhifeng." Sima Guangdao.
Wang Ju won't talk about history with Sima Guang, it's purely looking for a draw, and besides, he doesn't have to learn from Xue Rengui to kill and surrender prisoners, Wang Ju won't be so cruel, just take prisoners of war and let them be mine slaves, so Wang Ju changed the topic and said: "Sima Gong, then if the lower officials capture the prisoners of war again, what should they do, or release them back and let them continue to invade our dynasty?" β
"The invasion of Western Xia is a matter of border generals and ministers."
"In the last years of Renzong, when the first emperor was the emperor, who did the border ministers and soldiers of our dynasty have trouble?"
This issue has to be discussed, now that Wang Ju has soldiers in his hands, he is more confident, in case he can still achieve victory in the case of holding Dashun City and Gyeongju, this prisoner will immediately become a problem.
And looking back, what a mistake this repaying grievances with virtue has become, just like the Wa State, the Qing Dynasty supported a large amount of silver taels to relieve the disaster, and the Wa State disaster eased and immediately invaded the Qing Dynasty.
Just like Black Burma, the Belt and Road. Enrich their country. But what they reciprocated was a cannonball.
Or like that southern cochin. The golden three of the Northeast.
There's too much of this stupidity. Even if it is a big chess game, but being abused again and again by these small countries, what do the people think?
On the contrary, in the battle of Liu Renliang, the Japanese people were killed to the point of losing their armor, and the Japanese people sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty and regarded the Tang Dynasty as their own father.
So it's not okay not to be fierce to these aliens.
"Wang Ju, you want to kill the prisoners. Do you know the fate of Bai Qi? β
What does the death of Bai Qi have to do with the killing of prisoners? But Wang Ju also replied: "Sima Guang, it's a fact that Bai Qi ended up miserable, but what about Xue Rengui? has many sons and grandchildren, and most of the descendants have become important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and what bad retribution have they received? β
Wen Yanbo immediately played a round for Sima Guang and said, "Wang Ju, the killing of prisoners is unknown. β
"Gong Wen, did I say I was going to kill prisoners? Just let them go to the pit mines to work as coolies, pay off the debts of repeated violations, and repay the blood debts of the border people of our dynasty! β
I'm a prisoner of war sold!
Zhao Ji wanted to shake his head. If you just want to deal with prisoners of war, you can't shout it out in the Yanhe Palace. He said: "Wang Qing, don't discuss this matter again. β
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, if you keep Gyeongju, don't ask for a reward, as long as the princes don't find fault with the ministers. That is not to hurt Weichen, but to hurt the hearts of all the soldiers who fought bloodily for the Great Song Dynasty. β
"I'm not a faint king."
"Your Majesty is not a faint monarch, but a gentleman in the court, this villain is really scared."
Wu Chong said: "Wang Ju, if you have any requests, you can put them forward, please don't insult the word gentleman repeatedly." β
"Wu Gong, am I insulted? I don't say anything else, I only talk about education, and the Master said that there is no class in teaching, what a kind of mind this is. Before I worshipped my mentor as a teacher, Cheng Kan wrote to my mentor and commented on me very badly, which made my mentor almost reject me, and finally my mentor knew that I couldn't be gentle and humble, and still accepted me as a protΓ©gΓ©, what kind of tolerant mind is this? As the folk proverb goes, the family and everything prospers, the family is like this, the country is also like this, and the ministers of the country are not in harmony, how can they prosper? β
"I don't say that a gentleman is gentle, he is as warm as jade, just say the word tolerance, and a few people who claim to be gentlemen have done it. Why did Xia Guan know that it was a lot of risk to go when he heard His Majesty's order just now, so he didn't refuse in the end. Because Xia Guan really wants to leave the capital! Why? If you don't support the change, Jiefu Gong may not be happy. did not support and oppose the change of the law, and Wen Gong did not like it. The second duke is not bad, although he doesn't like it, but he won't deliberately suppress the lower officials. But what about Chen Xiang and others? Everyone wants the country to be good, so why can't they sit down and talk calmly, but they just attack and even spread rumors and slanders, fan the flames, and make the country in turmoil? β
Anyway, Wang Ju trampled the word gentleman to death.
But Wang Ju still has a good intention in saying this, at least to win the appreciation of many ministers who are not too dark-bellied, which will lay a good foundation for the future. Although Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi will not like it, when they really take the throne, can these two still mix in the capital?
Wu Chong couldn't say it, Wang Jue said: "Well said, well said." β
Zhao Ji saw that Wang Ju was getting farther and farther away, although what he said just now was also kind, so he interrupted Wang Ju's words and asked, "Wang Qing, what else do you want?" β
"It's gone." Wang Judao.
Either it is a weapon, or it is a grain and grass material, a weapon, and now Wang Ju is in the ordnance prison, and he asks Chu more than anyone else, and all the weapons and armor that can be used will undoubtedly be allocated.
As for money, silk, grain and grass materials, as long as you don't ask too much, at this time, who dares to be embarrassed?
Although Wang Ju took a hand, he only asked two generals, one to sign the judgment, and then took a preventive shot, even if it was a bad official, he said that it was a temporary order.
In the face of 300,000 huge enemies, he is in a hurry and his troops are limited, these requirements are really not too much.
Wang Anshi said: "Then write an edict." β
You have to hurry up and send the order to Wang Ju, Wang Ju accepted the order, so he can't push it if he wants to.
Militarily, Wang Anshi is also not good at it, but if this battle is defeated and Gyeongju is lost, the entire change will be interrupted. Therefore, it is better to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible.
Wang Ju accepted the appointment, but really refused the rank and rank that Zhao Ji had kindly promoted.
Then Wang Ju went to the Privy Council, he led the Gyeongju war, and he had to learn more information, which had to go to Xifu. And then I have to go to the third division, logistics.
After a long time, Wang Ju walked out of the third division, looked at the gloomy sky, and thought to himself: Li Fugui, Li Fugui, I'm sorry, I'm going to take away your credit.
This was Wang Ju's idea, in fact, after Li Fugui learned about the situation, he heard that Wang Ju replaced him, and he almost laughed happily in his dream. (To be continued......) R1292
