Zhao Ji wrote the letter, he also opened the house, and his subordinates had their own eunuchs, etc., but they didn't contact the minister. But this is his father's will, and it doesn't hurt to contact Wang Ju. He asked the eunuch to send the letter to Gyeongju.

Then he looked at the western sky, faintly worried.

This mentality is very wrong, some people say that the emperor has been ruthless since ancient times, this is wrong, it should be this sentence, affection is ruthlessness, ruthlessness is affection.

As a proper king, joy, anger and sorrow cannot be put on the face, or even in the heart. Zhao Zhen did a good job, seemingly insensitive, but in fact he became the most popular emperor among the people.

The country is so big, there will be good things, bad things, good things, bad things, bad things on that day, is it okay to be angry? This impatient personality is the reason why Zhao Ji died of anger after two big defeats.

However, he did not meet a good teacher to teach him, and he did not understand these principles for the time being.

Then Zhao Ji was thinking, what's wrong with this country, there are so many problems in internal governance, the ministers are not clean, the finances are difficult, and the military is not good, so that a little Xixia is slapped in the face again and again.

And he couldn't figure it out, why does the country raise such soldiers, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and immediately start fighting, and the court doesn't send troops to help.

In despair, he talked to his teacher Han Wei.

Han Wei also answered one by one.

"Han Qing, your remarks today are new."

"The minister doesn't dare to be it, it's not the minister's intention, but the Jiefu mentioned it to me in the letter."

"Jiefu?"

"Wang Anshi, this is the strange person of the Great Song Dynasty."

At this time, Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu still had some friendship, and Wang Anshi's mother died. Return to Jiangnan to keep filial piety. The filial piety period has passed. Zhongshu summoned him back to the capital to continue to serve as the intellectual. However, Wang Anshi is very shrewd, he can't go to the capital at this time, why, what is the knowledge system, that is, the two-system official, that is, the audit officer, which is equivalent to the Menxia Province of the Tang Dynasty, but it is a little smaller than the power of the Menxia Province. However, these messy things in the court. When the edict arrives in his own hands, do you write it or not, or do you return the prefix? Therefore, Wang Anshi refused and continued to stay in Jiangning to guard his filial piety.

This shou changxiao is pretending, he waits patiently for the opportunity, and often corresponds with Lu Gongshu, Han Wei, and Han Jiang. Why did you choose these three people, one is the Shouzhou Lu family, and the other is the Kaifeng Han family. These two families don't know how many people are officials, and there are many people who are high-ranking officials.

Stay in Jiangning by himself. But someone has to advocate for himself, and is there still someone from the Lu Han family who is advocating for him?

And he also saw clearly, there was no one on it, and he was never reused, of course, his reuse was slightly more noble than others, others were for promotion, and he was for realizing his ideals and ambitions.

All have thoughts.

However, Han Wei couldn't think of it, so he praised it very much: "This person regards fame as dung, even if that little guy in Huachi County grows up, he is far behind." ”

"There are such strange people."

"Your Highness, people should not be disgraced, some people have a great reputation, but they are false."

This is interesting, in fact, Han Wei can't stand it anymore, and he has to have a time to look at the Puyi dispute, which started last summer and continues to fight until this autumn, where does that minister still have the heart to do things? You Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are gentlemen, alas, can't you persuade the emperor?

…………

Balmy autumn day.

Wang Ju rode to Gyeongju.

Even now, Cai Ting is still pretending to be a civil official. The crops were harvested, and Cai Ting led officials to persuade the people to plant winter wheat.

Cai Ting is still very grateful to Wang Ju, everything is difficult at the beginning, the beginning is the most difficult, if someone starts, it will be easy to do. Huachi County has made a demonstration, the people can't calculate the big accounts, but everyone can calculate the small accounts. Compared with the Central Plains, Gyeongju is generally vast and sparsely populated.

A household can often have 40 or 50 acres of cultivated land, and of course, it is impossible for all cultivated land to be intensively cultivated. There are many difficulties, there is a lack of cattle, there is a lack of water, and the land is barren and not worth intensive cultivation.

However, it is planned that a family will take out 20 acres of land for intensive cultivation, and with this transfer method, only the sorghum will produce more than a dozen stone harvest, and there will be a season of winter wheat, and the seeds will be thrown away, and more than 20 stone can be harvested.

An extra forty stone harvest, what does it mean, the family has no worries about food and clothing, and can even sell surplus grain in exchange for some daily necessities.

This is what civil servants like to do.

But is that really the case?

When the big war comes, the officials of the battalions in the rear will assemble together to the front line, and the consumption of food will be amazing, as long as the people have food in their hands, the government will use money to buy it in the local hands next year, and it will not cost much.

Otherwise, it will be necessary to transfer food from the rear, but the fight will also be fought, how much money can the imperial court allocate at that time? Besides, Cai Ting will inevitably still be in Gyeongju at that time, so it will be a headache.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet invaded, the people are encouraged to grow more food in the rear.

Let's plant the grain.

However, the people of Western Xia didn't know it, and they were very happy to see Cai Ting tinkering with agricultural production. So Wang Ju came to Gyeongju, and Cai Ting was not in Gyeongju, but took the officials to the Golden Cabinet Town.

Here is close to Malingshui, there is a waterlogged pond in the locality, drought is not dry, waterlogging is not overflowing, so the irrigation conditions are relatively good, only this place, there are hundreds of hectares of cultivated land. There is also a road leading directly to Gyeongju, and if it is cultivated properly, it can become a small granary in Gyeongju.

Cai Ting was talking to a few old farmers, and when he saw Wang Ju and Quan Er's eldest son galloping on horseback, he immediately stopped talking, and that was the right thing.

Wang Ju got off the horse, came to Cai Ting and said, "Cai Gong, the official assembly on the other side of the mountain has begun." ”

On the other side of this mountain is the Hengshan area, which is at the forefront of the front, and they have all begun to assemble, and the Western Xia army will not be too far from the front line.

"Duke Cai, can you write a letter, if the battle is in full swing, let the 6th Duke of Yanzhou send a team of soldiers and horses, and then you will be able to defeat the enemy."

"You're building that path for today."

"Yes, but it depends on the 6 dukes, that's just a conservative approach, send a few battalions of officers and soldiers to reinforce Huachi, if the 6 dukes have the courage to strategize, there is a better strategy, wait until the Western Xia army is under the Dashun city, the 6 duke sends an army, in one fell swoop to annihilate the Jintang City and the White Leopard City, the back road is broken, the enemy army will be chaotic, and then our two armies will be flanked, and we can achieve a brilliant victory."

"I'm afraid the 6 dukes don't agree." Cai Ting said.

Wang Ju was silent.

This is the strange official system of the Song Dynasty, it is really not for merit, but for no fault, even if they defeat the Western Xia people, 6 Shu and Cai Ting may not get much credit. Such as Cai Ting in history. will even be sad, such as Zhang Kang, Li Fugui in the back. But it depends on who fights, even if Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan have a little bit of merit, there are many disciples and grandchildren, and the credit will be there. Even if it was useless and defeated, it also blew out a "There is a Han in the army, and the western thief is frightened when he hears it, and there is a fan in the army, and the western thief is shocked when he hears it." Even the descendants were fooled into it. Of course, it also includes Sun Wei, Sun Wei played out, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu operated it, and the credit was there.

So Sun Wei asked Wang Ju before leaving, there were many soldiers who thought that Sun Wei was greedy for their merits, but in fact they were not, they only had so much credit, Sun Wei only borrowed this skin, Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi used this skin to operate, and only then did they make a knot.

Whether it is 6 Shu or Cai Ting, then there are disciples and grandchildren to praise them?

6 Shu won't do much of this, and there will be 6 Shu himself. Not only 6, but Cheng Kan was there, Wang Ju didn't expect the two roads to cooperate, at most he expected Cheng Kan to support several battalions of officers and soldiers, so he repaired Huafu Road.

Although the unrealistic is beautiful, it is better not to think about it, no matter how beautiful it is, it cannot be realized.

Cai Ting said: "The old man will give it a try, but the two ways to go out to cooperate with the army, don't write it, it's boring." Let's see if we can get the 6th Gong to send a few battalions of officers and soldiers. ”

He saw it more clearly than Wang Ju.

"Then thank Cai Gong."

Wang Ju said that he rode back on horseback, how to actually fight, and he had been secretly discussing two war zones very early, one was the Gyeongju war zone, and the other was the Hwachi war zone. So Wang Ju had to go back and make arrangements.

Cai Ting also returned to Gyeongju to arrange.

The first step is to change the guard.

Let Zhang Yu and others transfer the officers and men who have been training for several months out of the rear, and the officers and men on the front line will retreat, but not to the rear, but to the foot of the Meridian Mountain, and begin to rest and stand by.

The change of defense also includes the forts around the state.

The future battle is not the battle of Dongjian Bridge, and the combined strength of the two countries is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and a flat valley will be put down. This is a general battle of more than 100,000 people, in case the Western Xia divides the troops and the Huanzhou troops are empty, the consequences will be strict.

In short, this is a good metaphor for playing football, there are offensive tactics, just like Tang Jun did, there are defensive counterattack tactics, such as Zhang Ji's shallow attack.

But in general, if you want to attack, you can only blindly defend if you don't attack, even if you put the bus in front of the goal, sooner or later the goal will be lost, and with such a long boundary line, can the Song Dynasty have the ability to put the bus? Therefore, once the fight started, the Song Dynasty was more passive and less active.

The Western Xia side was indeed discussing whether to divide the troops.

Some generals also thought of dividing troops around the state, but some people were worried about dividing the troops around the state, fearing that the officers and soldiers on the Jingyuan Road would be alarmed. Everyone knows the strange system of the Song Dynasty, but what if the officials of Jingyuan Road send troops to rescue?

Some generals said that Huai'an Town should be divided, but Liang Yibury resolutely opposed it, and the division of troops was small, and it was easy to be outflanked and annihilated by the Song people.

This division of troops and the combination of troops is a difficult thing to explain in the art of war, and if the troops are combined in one place, the strength of the troops can be concentrated and superior, but the tactics will be very dull. The division of troops into two or three routes is flexible, but the requirements for strategic coordination are very high. Pan Mei took Lingnan, that is, he divided his troops, one took Guizhou, one took Guangzhou, and Song Ping Bashu also divided his troops, one entered Shu from Jianmen, and one entered Shu from the Three Gorges. Tang destroyed Goguryeo, and also divided the army, one from the 6th route, and the other from the sea route. Tang destroyed Tuguhun and divided his troops into three routes.

However, the second Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty also divided the troops, and the result was a miserable defeat.

However, in general, Western Xia did not like the tactics of dividing troops, including Li Yuanhao, so Liang Yi's words were immediately supported by everyone.

After the discussion, the army roared down from Yanzhou. (To be continued!)
