Chapter 1240 reflexively shrinks

"I can't help it!" Sun Gu waved his thin arm frantically: "In this way, isn't the Xia people's resistance more resolute?" ”

"That's what you want!" Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said: "If it is stubborn, then its bloodline will be cut off and its sect will be destroyed, such a beast clan should not be allowed to be born in the world!" ”

Su You rolled his eyes in his heart, Your Majesty, you are a politician, not an angry young man, your task is to open up a living space for the nation, these words are enough to leave to the students of Taixue to make trouble.

He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't think like this, this suggestion of the minister is just a technique to attack the hearts of the Xia people." ”

"If the Empress Dowager Liang keeps the Empress Dowager, then she can be interpreted as her lover, ignoring the Liang clan and the Xixia clan, even if these people go to the battlefield in the future, I am afraid they will have more thoughts."

"Let's let Shen Kuo talk about this first, and exchange a reckless slander for the peace of the border, which must feel very cost-effective in Liang Yongneng's heart."

"Liang Yongneng sent Meng to attack Huanzhou, which was originally a plan to kill people with a knife, and now we are giving him a good reason, it depends on how Liang Yongneng reacts."

"The best result is that Liang Yongneng can kill Meng without the approval of the Empress Dowager Liang, so that the rift between the Western Xia court and the border army will be too big to be repaired."

Only then did Zhao Ji understand Su You's treacherous heart, what he just said was just to seize the moral high ground, but he was so agitated that his mood was shaken, and his enthusiasm was all over.

I can't help but be a little surprised, but thinking about this is always a good thing to boost morale, I am still happy: "What else?" ”

Su You said: "What's more, this battle reflects that the generals of the Beijing Forbidden Army are inexperienced in facing the enemy, while the generals of the Western Army are not enough in strategy and military system, but they have very rich experience in dealing with the Xia people. ”

"Your Majesty should issue an edict to Gao Zunyu, let him get along well with the generals of the Western Army, do not despise them, and seriously absorb experience from them."

"Of course, the new army is the absolute main force to overcome the fortifications, but the traditional Western Army is the solid foundation for the entire Xia war situation, and in terms of attitude, we cannot favor one over the other."

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Ji seriously: "Your Majesty, you are the same." ”

Zhao Ji's face turned red all of a sudden.

He knew that Su You was reminding himself of his attitude towards Liu Changzuo.

Liu Changzuo, the governor of Hezhou, is majestic, proficient in the art of war, especially good at riding and shooting, and has the ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps.

This person's archery skills are even higher than Wang Wenyu's, and when he came back from Liao, Zhao Ji asked him to show his archery skills, and he hit a hundred shots.

The Xia soldiers invaded Liugou Fort, Liu Changzuo led 2,000 cavalry to help, and the enemy set up an ambush of 10,000 cavalry in Montenegro, first defeated with a small team, lured Liu Changzuo to go deeper, and then besieged it with a heavy army.

Liu Changzuo was not afraid, and led the army to fight, 2,000 against 10,000, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

At dusk, the commander of the Xia soldiers rode forward on horseback in an attempt to capture Liu Changzuo alive, but Liu Changzuo hit the enemy commander in the throat with an arrow, causing him to fall and die.

Seeing that the commander was dead, Xia Bing fled one after another, and Liu Changzuo led the army to chase and kill, but the capture was not counted.

This battle was the battle of Liu Changzuo's fame, and every time the Xia people got their arrows, they had to treasure and value the place as a sacred collection.

Some time ago, the Military Aircraft Department ordered the generals of the Western Front to report on the enemy's strategy, and most of the generals enthusiastically boasted of their loyalty, saying that the Western Xia was not peaceful, as if the Great Song Dynasty only needed to step out of one foot, and the Xia Kingdom would be easily wiped out.

Only Liu Changzuo said that Xia people are brave and cunning, which should not be taken lightly, and they need to be carefully prepared.

Then he said that the consumption of the national war was too great, it was not cost-effective, and he should follow Huo to get sick, only bring a few thousand people, and use the Tibetan people who are familiar with the Xia realm, because of the food to the enemy, burning, killing, looting and wreaking havoc all the way, so as to reduce the population of Western Xia as a good policy.

He also said that although the number of the Western Army in the Great Song Dynasty has been replenished enough, the military system is disorderly, and there are many political departments, and the minister of Anshi said that he would establish a new law, but the new law did not establish a good person and left, but the Shaanxi Road had more armor, and it became more and more disorderly.

After An Shi Xianggong left, the imperial court added a military aircraft department, pointing fingers, which would make local generals at a loss.

In fact, Liu Changzuo is right, but Su You is not unsolved.

Su You's method of solving the disorder in the command system was to start from scratch completely, rely on the new army, and then gradually transfer the military command to the military aircraft department, step by step.

However, the new army did not have a record in Shaanxi, so Liu Changzuo complained that he had an extra mother-in-law on his head out of thin air.

This move offended many people, and Zhao Ji wrote in a letter to his uncle: "What Chang Zuo said is broad, and if he is not worthy of his position, it is advisable to choose someone to replace him." ”

Recruiting people for his own use is Gao Zunyu's forte, and his military exploits can be said to be completely tabula rasa.

Liu Changzuo's suggestion was the opposite, wanting to kill the Xia people, which made Gao Zunyu very unhappy.

With the support of Zhao Ji's letters, Gao Zunyu was even more contemptuous of Liu Changzuo, believing that he was a rigid old man who could not keep up with the changes in the situation.

In the past, one was in Jingyuan and the other was in Huayin, you can't see me, I can't see you, it's still peaceful, but Gao Zunyu is Jingyuan moderation after all, and the new army is about to move, which makes Su You have to give Zhao Ji a wake-up call.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to say: "This ...... I'll send a telegram to my uncle in a moment, telling me about it. Mingrun, do you have any other suggestions? ”

Su You said: "Next, I ordered Di Yong to consolidate the border defense, and ordered Li Ji to send food and pensions to Huanzhou, not to talk about it, but to order Shen Kuo, Lu Huiqing sent an envoy to contact Liang Yongneng to launch a diplomatic offensive against Western Xia!" ”

This word Zhao Ji and Sun Gu heard a little unfamiliar: "What diplomatic offensive?" ”

Su You said: "The imperial court should send envoys to submit credentials for Western Xia to reply. ”

"The following should be mentioned in the national letter."

"First of all, the Western Xia Dynasty was a vassal of the dynasty, and the imperial court also rewarded the New Year's coins every year. In recent years, he has been obedient to the will of the imperial court and has carefully fulfilled the duties of his vassals. ”

"Now I hear that the lord of the country is held hostage by the queen mother and ministers, and he can't specialize in state affairs, and he can't know his survival."

"Now the imperial court will send envoys to the lord of the kingdom for his birthday and midwinter gifts, and it is not yet known who will greet him and who will be in charge of the Western Xia now. Please reply quickly. ”

"Secondly, this war in Huanzhou was provoked by the Xia people for no reason, and the Xia Dynasty should be questioned, whether this is the decision of the Xia Dynasty center, or the unauthorized behavior of the border generals."

"If it is the decision of the center of the Xia Dynasty, then is this the true will of the Western Xia Lord? Or is it a move to hold the king's minister hostage? The Great Song Dynasty will retain the power to impose reciprocal punishments. ”

"If it is the border general's own assertion, then the Great Song Dynasty asked the Western Xia to replace the border general and punish the parties, especially the reckless and deceitful, and the crime is unforgivable. The Song State must see his head, otherwise it will take retaliatory measures on the battlefield in the future. ”

In the end, in view of the current chaotic situation in Western Xia, the Great Song had to temporarily suspend the issuance of New Year's coins, lest the reward fall into the hands of the opposing forces of the Great Song Dynasty. Everything will wait until Xixia explains these issues clearly in the official reply letter, and then consider it! ”

Depend on! Sun Gu was dumbfounded, just now he secretly praised Su Mingrun in his heart for being as stable as an old dog, but he played so big!

couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Mingrun, the Xia people are already ready to move now, so wouldn't they force them to jump over the wall?" ”

At this moment, Su You was like Fan Wenzheng Bao Xiaosu possessed, with a solemn face: "Old Sun, no matter what the attitude of the Xia people is, I only ask if it is reasonable and reasonable, is there anything wrong with the Great Song Dynasty handling it like this?" ”

Sun Gu was speechless, yes, it is reasonable, except for stimulating the unreasonable Xia people, Da Song is completely on a moral standpoint, without the slightest problem!

If it weren't for the worry that Xia Rengou would jump off the wall in a hurry, and Da Song couldn't beat others, morally speaking, he should also resolutely support these decisions.

Su You straightened his waist and threw his hand to his shoulder, this is not to salute Zhao Ji and Sun Gu, but to the invisible nihilistic morality, with a stern face: "Mencius has clouds, and he shrinks back, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" ”
