Xia's defeat was true, but he was able to catch his breath and stabilize his position with the support of the Jurchens, and if he launched a war of this scale again, it was estimated that it would take a few years to come.

However, Wang Xiu could not wait for three or five years, and the national policy did not allow him to wait, he glanced at Wang Zongyin, and said lightly: "Occupying Liangzhou, you can continue to encroach on Hexi, this is the last step, we have not yet reached the point of defending." ”

Qu Duan's face was even more ugly, and he couldn't think about it, but Wang Xiu refused without hesitation, and didn't give face to the Western Servants at all, which was equivalent to not caring about his feelings, which made him very unhappy.

Sometimes, people are so strange, they are prejudiced if they don't like it, a sentence and an idea can also make people's senses change, he has a very bad impression of Wang Xiu, maybe it is because of Feng Yuan's free and easy, as well as Zong Liang's rebuttal, or Wang Xiu's undisguised words.

"No matter what, we have to go on the offensive, the best defense is to attack, everyone, our goal is Xingqing, this must not be changed, people can be changed." Wang Xiu made a very domineering decision, he could not interfere too much in military command, but he would never give up on war guidance.

Moreover, it has been said very clearly, the goal cannot be changed, people can be changed, that is, if you don't have the ability to achieve the goal, the court will change generals.

Zhang Yu glanced at Qu Duan, his eyes were particularly complicated, he wanted to speak but sighed, he didn't dare to argue with the prime minister, he didn't even have time to cry if he suffered a loss.

Wang Zongyin smacked his lips, but still defended: "Wang Xianggong, a momentary battle of will affect the three armies, and I hope that Wang Xianggong will think twice." ”

As soon as this remark came out, most of the people present were taken aback, even Gao Ping was no exception, no matter how to say that Wang Xiu was also the prime minister of the dynasty, the first person in the two prefectures, and even the Son of Heaven had to be respectful of the important ministers, Wang Zongyin was an ambitious leopard guts, and he dared to say that Wang Xiu was fighting for morale, and he didn't want to mix it up, don't you know, Wang Xiu can really get off him?

Zong Liang and Feng Yuan's faces changed immediately, this guy was so bold that he dared to contradict Mr., but before they could scold, they heard Wang Xiu smile heartily.

The corners of Wang Zongyin's mouth twitched sharply, he glanced at Qu Duan weakly, and said stubbornly: "The prince forgives the sins, and the last general will also judge things by facts." ”

"Okay, then let's talk about things." Wang Xiu looked at Wang Zongyin coldly, but his face was very gentle, and he said with a smile: "How much manpower and financial resources do you have to invest every year to keep the line of defense?" Well, especially in Liangzhou, there is also the union of Shengqiang and the captives, how do you defend it? ”

"This?" Wang Zongyin was stunned, anyone understands that the party members will definitely fight to the death, and if the Great Song Dynasty wants to hold the occupied area, it must maintain a strong army, so there will be battles to fight every year.

"Also, Liangzhou is the land of four wars, how does Ma Zheng develop? A raid by someone can go back to the fruits of your hard work for several years, how about it? ”

"This." Wang Zongyin's back was cold, and cold sweat overflowed from the tip of his nose.

Qu Duan saw that Wang Zongyin was deflated, but when he saw Wang Xiu's kind face, even smiling, he was a little unsure.

Wang Xiu's expression was in the eyes of Zong Liang and Feng Yuan, it was definitely very angry, the prelude to real anger, the following is the thunder method, they all sympathized with Wang Zongyin, Nima is right to be a dog, but you don't look at who it is, you bite indiscriminately, even your master can't offend people, just look at you unlucky!

"Why, as a deputy capital, you joined the army, and you don't know how to defend?" Wang Xiu's tone was still calm, but it made others feel cold when they heard it.

Wang Zongyin suddenly changed color, Wang Xiu's tone was gentle, but it was full of sarcasm, when the prime minister accused the deputy staff of the capital division of not knowing how to defend, it was no longer a matter of slapping the face, that is to say that you are not competent, the two governments want to take the deputy capital to join the army, it is not the same as playing.

Besides, there is another meaning to this statement, how did you become a deputy to join the army, is there no cat in it? It is self-evident who the point is.

Qu Duan's face is not good-looking, Wang Xiu scolded Wang Zongyin, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face, Wang Zongyin is his cronies and generals, as a balance to Zhang Yu.

Just when he saw Wang Xiuyu Yongxingjun and accompanied him all the way, he was also a little reluctant, although his attitude was reasonable, but he was not so respectful, but when he saw that Wang Xiu was difficult, a few words that were not salty or light, forced Wang Zongyin into a corner, and also reflected that he was a nepotist.

Xie Qian's face was playful, that is, the demeanor of looking at jokes, Zhang Yu also twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, Xu Huiyan and Li Yanxian looked at their noses, and their faces were wooden.

Joke, at this time, if you don't fall into the ground, even if you are righteous, can you still speak for you? Can the dignity of being the prime minister of the dynasty be challenged by the deputy capital joining the army? Don't blame others for not helping you if you die yourself.

Gao Ping and Qu Duan were like-minded, he transferred the army to the north at that time, although it was for the sake of the overall situation, but also for the sake of getting along with Qu Duan, and he didn't want accidents on the East Road, of course, it was more for himself, so that he could have greater military achievements.

"As a general, offense and defense are necessary, what is the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general? It's about taking advantage of the changes in the battlefield and seizing the momentary vitality. ”

Wang Xiu nodded heavily at the scene, so he eased his tone and said in a deep voice: "Although it is unlikely that the captives will go south directly, they can't be unguarded, I will build yì to strengthen the troop allocation of Fuzhou Road to form a deterrent to the captives, so that they will not dare to take care of the flanks and dare not go south." ”

"Now, our eyes should be turned to Hanhai, and the battle of the Dingyan Army will turn to mobile defense and clearance, so as to consolidate the occupied area."

He didn't beat the water dogs, that's a very boring thing, even if you suppress Quduan? A person with a good skill wants to use one thing to achieve another, and he decisively gives up the pursuit and directly drives the thinking of everyone.

In other words, I do not interfere with your military command, but only propose to build a decision, as for how to decide, it is up to you, anyway, the handle is still in my hands.

"Hanhai?" Qu Duan glanced at Wang Xiu in surprise, and turned his gaze to the map with a thoughtful look.

"Yes, it is precisely the middle road as the main direction of attack, the army will go north along the Lingzhou River and directly attack Lingzhou, that is, their Xiangqing army, or Xiping Mansion." Wang Xiu's tone was unquestionable, and he didn't mean to change at all.

The middle route is composed of Wu Jue's seventh battalion and Liu Yanliang's eighth battalion, with three armies, Shengjie, Guangrui, and Yunyi, plus two brigades and towns in Pingqiang City, and more than 20,000 township soldiers, which can be regarded as a relatively strong force.

However, compared with the East Road, Xu Huiyan's Sixth Battalion has three armies, Wan Jie, Konghe, and Yunjie, and it is more embarrassing for Wu Jie to take the main attack.

Feng Yuan's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of excitement and respect when he looked at Wang Xiu.
