"Zhao Yuanzhen used troops in the summer and spring, the preparation time of the imperial court was short, and the captives did not complete the preparation for war, so there was a certain suddenness, and the effect of the war would be better. The use of troops in the autumn and winter is held by Lord Li, and our side is more prepared and can fight steadily. Wang Xiu replied very honestly, now that New Year's Day has passed, he said that the winter army will be used at the end of the year, but the time is very long, even if it is twelve months, he still feels that the time is in a hurry.

"It seems that Xianggong is inclined to winter, but I didn't expect that Li Xianggong and Zhao Xianggong would also have differences." Zhu Lian understood Wang Xiu's wishes, and said a little ridiculously.

Wang Xiu bowed his head silently, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, they were arguing about national policy, and their friendship was not affected by the controversy, I am afraid that at this time they were drinking and talking, and said: "Before using troops in autumn and winter, there is still a lot of temptation to do, if I say that I will officially send troops next winter, it will not be too late, and people are also fully prepared." ”

Just as he felt that time was in a hurry just now, he pushed back the time, and the large-scale competitive battle did not mean that it was prepared to be launched that year, especially for a technical army like the Song Army, it was still necessary to test the attack of the partial division before the war, and it was not limited by time, but it was only particular about the scale, and it depended on how to confuse the enemy

As just introduced, in the era of the Zhenzong Dynasty, in order to launch a large-scale southern invasion, the Khitan Empress Dowager Xiao spent three years of temptation, and constantly sent troops south to find out the reality of the Song army, the size of the troops varied, and to a certain extent, it also achieved the effect of paralyzing the enemy.

Then a large-scale offensive was launched, and the suddenness of the battle was achieved, so that the Song army misjudged, and the 60,000 troops of the Dingzhou camp were useless, so that the main Khitan army drove straight in, and almost reached the river, and Tokyo shocked the Son of Heaven and almost ran away, if it weren't for the insistence of Lao Xi (joke, don't take it seriously), I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would have been nearly two hundred years earlier.

He really prepared for a year or two, and sent partial divisions to the north to find out the reality of the Jin army, and it could also play a role in paralyzing the enemy. The reason why the Southern Expedition was placed in front of the Northern Expedition was also to confuse the enemy and make the Jurchen high-level make a miscalculation, believing that the Song army would not rashly launch the Northern Expedition, at least not before completing the layout of the South China Sea, and would only continue to send out partial divisions to test it.

It is true that when the South China Sea was attacked by Srivijaya, the Great Song Dynasty also hurriedly launched the Northwest War, and the preparation time was only half a year, but the Northwest War could not be used as a reference for the Northern Expedition.

It was a pure foreign lone battle, a one-time war, and the Great Song Dynasty still had the strength to go west.

This time the southern expedition to Jiaozhi, but there are southern servants to fight, success or failure in his view is not a big problem, at most to organize the southern expedition again, but in the eyes of the Jurchens, but it is different, before the Great Song Dynasty solves the Jiaozhi, it is unlikely that there will be spare strength to look north, this is a difference in strategic guiding thinking, the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise.

"The war games of the two governments are deduced, but I don't know how long it will take."

Wang Xiuwan smiled and said lightly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to draw a conclusion without deduction, the war in the northwest was rushed back then, but fortunately, there was a conclusion on the deduction, so it could be launched within half a year." ”

Back then, thanks to the war games, there were a lot of sudden plans, so that the imperial court hurriedly and methodically entered the war, even if it suffered a little loss in the early stage, the ending was not bad, and the boat was pushed down the river to destroy the famous family, if it was placed decades ago, I am afraid that it would be a defensive war.

"Sage, if it's okay, you can go and see the prison country first, I still have something to discuss with the prince." Zhu Lian glanced at Han Shi and said lightly.

Han Shi was a little embarrassed to say the wrong thing, and was thinking about whether to retire, Zhu Lian's words were like the sound of heaven, she got up calmly and elegantly, and said softly: "The minister will retire first." ”

When the Han family left, Zhang Quan and Qingjun also retreated, they understood people, they couldn't stay in the pavilion to be an eyesore, and those who were slaves and female officials had to have eyes.

Wang Xiu glanced at the pavilion door intentionally or unintentionally, and said calmly: "There are some things I want to tell you." ”

Zhu Liandai raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang Xiu gently, and said in a low voice: "The official said, look at your restraint and uncomfortable." ”

Wang Xiu nodded, a trace of hesitation flashed between his eyebrows, and said, "Do you know?" The twelfth sister and son-in-law made a big fuss before. ”

Zhu Lian sighed helplessly, and said lightly: "I just knew, when you didn't come, you were talking to the sage, and it was normal for the little couple to be angry, so I didn't want to do it." ”

Wang Xiu's face was hesitant, although he had all kinds of thoughts about Zhao Roujia, and sometimes he wanted to give two slaps in the face, but he felt very sorry for this daughter, and even a little annoyed with Fan Li, if he had something to say, couldn't he say it well? He had to beat women, he had killed countless people himself, but he really only beat two women, or irrelevant women, who thought that Fan Li beat his own woman, the key was his daughter, and he couldn't help but say: "The brother of the Fan family is too much." ”

"Hehe, I don't want the officials to say this, and I can't blame the horse, our sister is too willful, and she doesn't take the horse in her eyes. I know the brother of the Fan family, the honest child, it seems that he really people off. ”

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say: "You can't be too favoritial, so as not to cause big trouble, and you will regret it too late!" I think we still need to make a decree to appease the horses. ”

Zhu Lian didn't hear the sound outside the strings, but he knew what Wang Xiu meant to appease Fan Li, which was nothing more than a small warning to Zhao Roujia, stop playing with those thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "The horse is obedient and cautious, and there is a way to make money, and Lord Fan teaches well." ”

Wang Xiu rolled his eyes, he could be regarded as taking care of Fan Li, secretly giving maximum support, and even sometimes secretly breaking the rules, so that this kid's business became bigger and bigger, and he made more and more money, freed himself from the boredom of being a colt, and even took care of Zhao Roujia indirectly, even Zong Liang and Fei Su muttered, secretly suspicious.

It's just that Zhu Lian meant something else, of course he understood, there must be someone who passed Fan Li and said reluctantly: "The horse can endure loneliness, and our sister will also follow the wealth, so that the heirs can enjoy the shade." ”

Zhu Lian couldn't help but laugh secretly, she didn't believe that Wang Xiu didn't understand what she meant, seeing that she praised Fan Li, she never mentioned Fan Zongyin, and she also understood that Wang Xiu didn't want to use this guy.

That year, Wang Xiu personally told her that Fan Zongyin was a talent, but he was a little ambitious and talented, and he recommended Fan Zongyin to the two mansions, which was bound to break the current balance, and the important ministers fell into meaningless internal friction, and they could only be recommended until a certain time, at least until Zhao Ding and others left the two mansions.

"If I think again, a colt can't beat anyone, but he must be rewarded." She still can't make up her mind, she still wants to protect Zhao Roujia, after all, her daughter was beaten, how can a mother not feel distressed.

Wang Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, hesitating whether to inform Zhu Lian, but he couldn't make up his mind, things were a little too cruel, and he didn't want Zhu Lian to suffer.
