Chapter 1304 is muddy

Fan Chun said: "Since Mingrun now knows, there must be a solution. There is another thing, that is, after the boundary of the three roads is divided, although the division of each road has been clarified, it still belongs to the war zone after all. ”

"Therefore, it is advisable to cultivate the strategy of supporting and containing the armies, otherwise the Xia soldiers will attack me all the way, and I will be invincible, and the adjacent road will sit and watch, and those who will not pull it out will be lucky."

Su You said: "There is indeed this problem, by the way, before sending troops, Lu Huiqing seems to have mentioned this matter." ”

Fan Chun said: "Yes, but it was Xu Xi's resignation later, but I think it is more appropriate for Lu Huiqing to discuss." ”

"Xu Xi has meritorious service in planning the division of military strength in various places, but it does not mean that the military strength of various places is only suitable for dividing and defending the territory, and there is no responsibility to rescue neighboring roads."

Su You nodded: "When I go back, I will turn Lu Gong's strategy out again, this reminder is also very timely." ”

Fan Chun was able to consider the problem from the perspective of national interests and abandon the prejudices between factions, which made Su You impressed.

This is a huge step forward for conservatives, and it's not easy.

Fan Chun saw that Su You's suggestions for him were seriously considering, and his heart was also very comfortable: "There is one last one, which is the governance of the newly acquired land. ”

"The law of the country is fixed on the admission of officials, but they have not listened to their choice."

"Today's Northwest Third Road, 3,200 taels are allowed to buy Zhailang, and 4,600 taels are bought to worship, this is originally a bad government of the imperial court, it has been a long time, and it is nothing, but it is not advisable to exempt the examine."

"The corporal doctor of the world, who serves until he is dying, does not touch the grace of the world, and the rich people donate tens of millions of money, so he can be the third son, and he will be cherished purely by the court."

Su You took a sip of the wine in the glass: "This one...... Truth be told, it's hard. ”

"According to my original intention, isn't the problem of redundant officials in the Great Song Dynasty serious? Now that there are three new roads, some of these officials to be selected can always be placed, at least the problem of redundant officials in Shaanxi and other roads can be solved, right? ”

"But the result? The vast majority of those people are reluctant to come to the third road in Shanbei, and to solve the administrative problems of the three roads, they either rely on the local officials or the chiefs of the officials, and the only ones who dare to come here are those businessmen. ”

"If even the Shangjia road is cut off, when will the three roads enter Huaxia?"

Fan Chun was worried: "These officials are born with Na Xiao, won't they be scavenged back from the people?" ”

Su You said: "Therefore, if you want to change the performance appraisal system of officials, you can't be like that Wu Juhou, who has to be promoted if you collect more taxes, but you must also include the living standards of local people in the performance appraisal." ”

Fan Chunren smiled bitterly: "'Barbarians are self-reliant, and they don't want to do it for a long time, and they violate the border, Doctor Laoshi. 'Sima Xiangru mentioned the scene in "Yu Ba Shu Xuan", where is he today? How many years have it only been that the scholars have fallen to this extent? ”

Su You pondered for a moment: "Fan Gong, I want to start a discussion in the "Bianjing Times", and then talk about what is a scholar and what is a virtue. ”

"Greedy and comfortable, not with the country, only know that the person who avoids responsibility and pushes is for the 'Lu beetle', even if his literary name is world-famous, he was not as good as the husband of Shaanxi Road, what about the scholar's festival?!"

Fan Chun said: "Well said! The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. "Xunzi" has a cloud: "Zhixing cultivation, temporary official rule, the upper can go up, and the lower can keep his position, which is the reason why the scholar takes Tianyi." ‘”

"My generation recited poetry and books at a young age, and practiced etiquette and righteousness, which should be the first in the world!"

Fan Chunren sneered: "I will unite the three-way transfer envoy to write to Your Majesty, and those who can't be conquered are unwilling to serve the country, so they should give up their official body and take away their fortune." ”

"Since you want to be a landscape idler, don't take away the limited lords of the imperial court and block the rewards of the aspirants!"

Both Fan are adhering to the will of the father of the cow, Fan Zhongyan "rarely have a big festival, in the rich, poor, reputational, happy, do not move their hearts, but aspire to the world, often recite to themselves: 'When the world is worried and worried, the world is happy and happy.'" ’”

He said so and did it, truly achieving the unity of knowledge and action, and has always been a model for Su You.

Su You was originally an alternative in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the Shilin Feng Commentary, now he even has a fight with Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan takes the world as his own responsibility, "self-responsible", and has the consciousness of the ruling class;

Although Su You can do everything well, he is a little "lazy", which can be called the head of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the official career, he "does not want to make progress", and he only moves when he is poked from above, and he has to wait until the court is impatient and forcibly issues an appointment, and he "has to do it".

But one thing he has is good, that is, he is very obedient to the arrangement.

No matter how big the problem is, as long as it is thrown to him, he always does it, and he can always do it to perfection beyond everyone's expectations.

Therefore, Shilinzhong's discussion of the two of them is extremely high, and it is believed that the two dukes have established virtue, meritorious service, and speech, and will be famous through the ages, and they both belong to the rare characters of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Fan Zhongyan's talent is slightly inferior to his morality; And Su Mingrun's virtue is difficult to hide his talent.

Su You is more than Fan Zhongyan, and even has one more aura because of this - humble retreat.

……

In Lanzhou, Zhao Yu led Li Yong and Shi Yong to inspect the walled fort.

In addition to Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo, there are also Zhao Yu and Li Xian.

Xining's expedition to Jiaozhi was originally based on Zhao Yu as the principal and Li Xian as the deputy.

Later, the two disagreed, and Zhao Yu wrote to ask Li Xian to be dismissed. Zhao Yu asked who could be replaced, Zhao Yu took Guo Kui's old side affairs and was willing to praise him, so he took Guo Kui as the ambassador and Zhao Yu as his deputy.

After Guo Kui unified the army, Zhao Yu and Guo Kui's advance strategy clashed again, resulting in a failure of the march.

In the end, the imperial court sent Su You to take charge of logistics, and sent two Zhejiang water divisions to help, and finally won a big victory.

Afterwards, all the generals of the Southern Expedition were rewarded, only Zhao Yu was not promoted, and even as the main person in charge of the initial military defeat, he was demoted to the governor of Guizhou, and then transferred to Qingzhou, Hebei.

This person is similar to Li Guang in the Han Dynasty, with excellent ability, but he is always unlucky and never has a good job.

Compared with Grandma Wang's kind of lying down to win fortune, it is simply a day and a place in the eight characters.

The location of Lanzhou City is very important, but it is too remote, although there are tens of thousands of Song troops stationed here, but mainly in the Tibetan department.

In addition, there are also Qingyi Jiegui Zhang and Duqiao Ah Gong each led 20,000 Qingtang troops, which is also a variable.

Zhao Yu wrote several times to ask the six roads to pay attention to Lanzhou, after all, there are still the elite of Xia people in Liangzhou in the Western Regions, and Zhao Yu found out that the cadres and the Yeli Department are recruiting people in the Western Regions, with more than 80,000 people.

Moreover, the equipment of these people is the best among the Xia people, in addition to the whirlwind cannon, I heard that there is also the kind of huge stone thrower that once appeared under the hoarding village - the return cannon.

However, the Sixth Route Metropolitan Strategy Division seems to have never attached importance to the West Road, not only did not strengthen Zhao Yu's troops, but even transferred Li Xian, Su Lie and Bao Shun away!

However, Zhao Yu is basically one of the firefighters of the Great Song Dynasty, who has been circling the frontier all his life, and is also regarded as the top few civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, after so many years, Zhao Yu has long been accustomed to the ravages of fate, and he has long had no expectations for the virtues of his superiors, so he has not expected much support from Du Jinglusi to give him.

Self-reliance, abundant food and clothing, and making good use of the troops in hand is the solution.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of money and food in his hands, there is no shortage of blanks, there is no shortage of dangers around Lanzhou, and the army under his command is also powerful.

However, the nervousness is certain, the generals asked the soldiers to be prepared, and Zhao Yu summoned them all to Lanzhou: "The soldiers are not beneficial." The first scout, according to the shape of the victory, the whole of the armor, nothing is just the first. ”

Then the cavalry scouts were released for eighty miles to the mouth of the Hongshui River near Liangzhou, and at the same time, they used the Khotanese envoys who had returned to China to prepare more goods and send caravans to follow and go deep into Liangzhou to explore intelligence.

And the rest is to strengthen the fortress fortifications in Lanzhou, dig trenches, set up lookout posts, and use flags to transmit messages.

When he first arrived in Lanzhou, Shi Yong collected all the craftsmen in the city, and then let them lead the way, receiving iron smelting, coal mines, gypsum mines, silica mines, and miscanthus mines around Lanzhou, and built several workshops for coking, ironmaking, and manufacturing cement, glass, and black powder.

There were a lot of cattle, sheep, mules and horses in the Tibetan region around Lanzhou, and Shi Yong also collected the urine of people and animals to make ammonia, and then prepared a small amount of ammonium nitrate and thunder silver by the acid tower method.

With these things, Shi Yong created a lot of cast iron mines and earth-flavored earth-shaking thunders, and Zhao Yu's heart was a little confident.

At the head of Lanzhou City, there is even an advanced product of General Yumu - a cast iron cannon that uses black powder to fire iron sand and iron pellets.

Zhao Yu honestly and unceremoniously deprived Shi Yong of his naming rights, and named him General Zhenrong without creativity.

On the other side, with the tanned artifact of manganese, Shi Yong asked the craftsmen to directly upgrade the sheepskin raft to a cowhide raft.

The raft is made of cowhide mud weaving, and each cowhide mud has a much larger opening than the sheepskin mud, so it can be loaded.

A cowhide can be filled with 120 catties of wool.
