When Li Ruoxu walked into the lobby of the Xuanfu Division, Wang Song was smiling and sent Liu Hai's family out.

"Liu Gong can rest assured. The family members were placed in the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and everything was taken care of by the Xuanfu Division. ”

Wang Song pondered slightly, and Brother Liu Hai hurriedly stopped.

"From today onwards, Liu Gong Kunzhong will be the chief and deputy director of the Harbour Department of my Xuanfu Division, responsible for the construction of all sea vessels. The required equipment and personnel can be transferred from the Yellow River Shipyard. ”

"Thank you!"

Brother Liuhai fulfilled his wish and hurriedly left.

"Xianggong, the Lianshui Army has built a shipyard, is it enough to garrison 5,000 troops?"

Li Ruoxu was still a little uneasy. The Lianshui Army is adjacent to the territory of the pseudo-Qi, and the other party's navy has tens of thousands of people, which can be said to live next to each other, which makes him still weak-hearted.

"Five thousand elite soldiers, plus Zhang Heng is in Xuzhou, and there are sailors and warships going up and down, if you can't hold the sea mouth, it's too useless."

Li Ruoxu nodded slightly, relieved.

"Having said that, on the side of the couch, it is not allowed for others to sleep soundly. This pseudo-Qi needs to be pulled out as soon as possible. ”

"When Li Bao's navy is almost trained, you can use troops against the pseudo-Qi."

Wang Song looked at the sky to the south and thought thoughtfully.

"Does Xianggong plan to recapture the sea route first, or take control of Huaibei?"

Thinking of Wang Song's preference for overseas, Li Ruoxu sighed secretly. In those places outside the individual, what can make Wang Song so "fond"?

"If you want to fight, you have to fight with all your might, so that it will never recover, and it will never be able to turn over again."

Wang Song looked at Li Ruoxu. These scholars, who were born in the "Heavenly Empire", will not understand the importance of overseas due to the limitations of the times.

With the increase in population, China needs more living space, and must cross the sea and multiply everywhere.

"Haven't there been any military reports from the border areas?"

"Back to Xianggong, not for the time being."

Wang Song nodded, glanced at Li Ruoxu, who was frowning, and the official document he was holding tightly in his hand.

"Gong Li, looking at your appearance, I'm afraid there is something important."

"Xianggong, Guo Xianggong asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report!"

Before Li Ruoxu could speak, the guards came in to report, and followed Guo Yong in a hurry.

"Gong Guo, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I'm afraid you have something important to come here today, right?"

Since the Xuanfu Division restored the two rivers, Guo Yong, the Hebei parent official, has been busy and happy. Now that the farming is just over, it is the busy season for harvesting autumn fu, and he is afraid that he has something important to come at this time.

"Xianggong, Shaanxi Xuanfu made Zhang Jun to fight hard in Shaanxi, and the whole army practiced martial arts, I am afraid that there is a big picture. The news that the lower officials got that the imperial court wants to have a decisive battle with Fanzi in Shaanxi, where will my loyal and righteous army go when the time comes, and will the minister have made a decision?"

Guo Yong's face was solemn, and his words were direct.

"Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy?"

Wang Song smiled slightly. He still has the title of Lianghe and Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and now he is a real Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy, and he is still an old man, which is really ironic.

"Gong Li, what you want to say is probably the same thing, right?"

Wang Song did not answer Guo Yong's question directly, but tilted his head to the side and looked at Li Ruoxu on the side.

"Xianggong, that's exactly what happened."

Li Ruoxu handed over the official document and put it on the table and chair in front of Wang Song.

"This is the list of people sent by Zhang Jun to purchase earth-shattering thunder and artillery, the number is huge, there must be a big war."

Wang Song picked up the list and looked at it, shaking his head slightly.

"100,000 earth-shattering thunders, 500 artillery pieces, it seems that Zhang Jun has made up his mind this time to fight with the Jin people."

"So many firearms!"

Guo Yong was also taken aback, and then opened his eyes

With big eyes, he looked at Wang Song.

"Xianggong, with so many firearms, what are you going to do?"

He was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that Wang Song would not agree.

The two sides of the Song and Jin sides fought, and he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and enjoy the success. Wouldn't it be of no benefit to him to let him sell firearms to Song Jun.

"What's the consideration of this, it's all about dealing with the Jin people."

Wang Song laughed and said, there is no reason to refuse the deal that was sent.

"Firearms must be carefully inspected and must not have quality problems. The price can be reduced by half percent, and it can also be regarded as the support of my loyal army to the brothers of the Western Army. ”

"Thank you!"

Guo Yong's heart finally let go. It seems that this prince has never lost anything in terms of right and wrong.

"From this point of view, the first war in Shaanxi is inevitable."

Wang Song exhaled, his eyes gloomy.

If he has a good memory, the battle of Fuping in history was presided over by Zhang Jun, and in the end, it was also a failure.

The Great Song Dynasty rashly assembled heavy troops, hastily carried out a counteroffensive, and underestimated the enemy in the command of the campaign, and did not coordinate with each other, resulting in a great defeat. The Jin army adjusted its deployment in time, concentrated its forces, and took it by surprise, directly attacking the soft underbelly of the Song army, and won in one fell swoop.

Historically, it was precisely because of Zhang Jun's incompetence and stupidity that he directed this defeat. The Song army was mainly infantry, and should have defended according to the danger and avoided the edge of the Jurchen iron cavalry. Zhang Jun arranged the Song army on the plain and faced the Jurchen iron cavalry. He and his subordinate generals believed that there was a swamp in front of the Song army's position as an obstacle, and the Jin cavalry could not be used at all.

The Jin people filled the swamp with firewood and earth, and the iron cavalry roared, and the Song army was crushed for thousands of miles, almost completely annihilated. The Western Army, which had been fighting in the western frontier for decades, was destroyed in the hands of Zhang Jun, a "fool".

For this campaign, Zhang Jun collected Shaanxi's taxes until five years later, and logistics materials, gold, silver and jewelry piled up. After the defeat, the Jin people effortlessly seized all these baggage, and the history recorded: "The Jin people did not chase after the victory, and the treasures and money they obtained were like mountains, which could not be counted."

Zhang Jun emptied Shaanxi's family foundations, making it difficult for the Song Dynasty to reassemble a large army in Shaanxi, so that the fall of Shaanxi was inevitable. After the Song Dynasty crossed the river, the Great Song Dynasty no longer had the power to look north.

Internal inclination, intrigues, and a commander like Zhang Jun, who is ambitious and talented, encounters the impact of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, how can he be invincible?

It doesn't matter if you are defeated, the people of Shaanxi cannot fall into the hands of the Jurchens and become the capital of the enemy.

"Xianggong, if the Western Army of Shaanxi is used to deal with the Jin people and attack the country, I am afraid that both sides will lose. Xianggong, should we send troops to help when the time comes? ”

After Guo Yong finished speaking, his face turned red. After all, for such a military event, he did not have the right to force the loyal army to send troops.

"Even if I wanted to send the army to help, Zhang Jun didn't invite. Besides, hundreds of thousands of Western troops are not inferior to tens of thousands of soldiers of the loyal and righteous army. I can't just put a cold face on my ass. ”

Wang Song shook his head. Zhang Jun thought that he was strong and strong, and he disdained the help of the loyal and righteous army, and he was afraid of being involved with the loyal and righteous army. Those scholars in the court, including Zhao Ji's father and son, are probably staring at him.

"Guo Gong, do you know that although there are 100,000 people in the loyal army, most of them are new troops and have never been on the battlefield. If you rush into a big war, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy casualties and may even lose your vitality. The hundreds of thousands of Western Army in Shaanxi are enough to protect themselves. Guo Gong is too worried!"

Li Ruoxu hurriedly stepped forward to explain. In fact, whether Wang Song sent a large army or not, it didn't matter what their staff said, and in the end, Wang Song had to make a decision.

"Zhang Jun doesn't speak, we are unknown. Besides, the Jin people are going south, and the Xia people are probably also involved, plus the pseudo-Qi, we are already suffering from the enemy on our backs, or recuperate, and we have trained the soldiers to say it early. ”

Yang Zaixing also shook his head frequently. Such a thing is clearly possible to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and sit back and enjoy the success. The Great Song Dynasty didn't send invitations, so why should the loyal and righteous army bother to make it up.

Hundreds of thousands of elites of the Western Army, why should the loyal and righteous army join in this fun?

Wang Song

He smiled lightly, and already had an idea in his heart.

Zhang Junzhi is talented, and the Jin people are all tigers and wolves, and in this seemingly evenly matched battle, the Song army is bound to be defeated and withdraw from Shaanxi.

This is something that history has proven, and it is a fluke from there.

"In the first battle of Shaanxi, I intended to transfer 20,000 elite soldiers from Hebei, 30,000 from Hedong, and enter Shaanxi from Hejian Fu and Baode Army. It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, this time we must strike a thunderous blow and hit the golden man. ”

Relying on his own prediction of history, this time the decisive battle of Song and Jin is estimated to be in Sanyuan. If the Jin soldiers who invaded Shaanxi can be disabled, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Jurchens.

"What the minister said is very true. If we can concentrate our forces and let the Jurchens suffer heavy casualties and suffer serious injuries, we can protect the peace of the northwest for at least 10 years! ”

Li Ruoxu nodded. There are advantages to sending troops, and there are reasons for not sending troops. However, if you can hit the Jin people, the peace of the two rivers is just around the corner.

"Xianggong, the Jurchens have promised the three states outside the river to the Western Xia people to deal with the Song army together. The Western Xia and the Zhejia family are a century-old feud, so I am afraid that the three states outside the river will also be involved in the war. Xianggong has to guard against it!"

As soon as they mentioned the Fugu Folding Family, Yang Zaixing and the first-class guards immediately changed their faces.

"Xianggong almost died in order to save himself, and the loyal army almost fell apart. You can ask for this guy, you really deserve to be killed!"

"Then with Brother Yang's meaning, once Xia and Zhe Keqiu fight, shall we save it or not?"

Before Li Ruoxu's words fell, Yang Zaixing had already shook his head and said loudly: "Don't save it!" When the Xia people and the fold are finished, let's go clean up the Xia people!"

Li Ruoxu shook his head and said: "Xianggong, if you are in a hurry, you may vote for gold." Or think carefully. ”

In the first battle of Fuzhou, it was difficult to hurt the hearts of the loyal and righteous army. When everyone thinks about it now, they all have palpitations. Especially Wang Song was seriously injured, life and death were only in an instant, and it was no longer worth risking for this person!

"It's far away, now it's about the Song Jin War, the things that can be sought, I'll talk about it later!"

Wang Song waved his hand to stop everyone's argument.

"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? In the face of the country's righteousness, how can we be calculating, pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Western Xia, Jin State, and Pseudo-Qi are all obstacles on the road of my loyal and righteous army, and they must be removed one by one. ”

Li Ruoxu and Yang Zaixing both looked at each other. After more than a year of hibernation, it seems that Wang Song is going to use troops again.

"Xianggong, so you are going to use troops against the Jin people?"

Guo Yongxi smiled. At that time, more than 100,000 elites of the Western Army, plus the loyal and righteous army, will be enough to resist the Jurchen army.

"The use of troops against Shaanxi is only the first step, and the next step is Western Xia. How can the homeland of China always be entrenched by the party!"

If it weren't for Zhao Ji's stupid termination of the Northwest Raiders and the "Maritime Alliance", Western Xia would have been in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty. A good hand of cards played badly, ended up with a "gift of holding sheep", and couldn't forget to have a child, the emperor did this part, it was really humiliating and shameless.

"Xianggong, Ma Xuanzan's official document from the north has arrived."

Wang Song opened the official document, looked at it for a while, and put the official document on the table.

Li Ruo picked it up and looked at it, his face was solemn.

"Xianggong, the Jurchens are recruiting and signing troops in the north, and the ambition of the wolf son is self-evident!"

Wang Song nodded, what should come will always come. It seems that this upcoming Shaanxi war, as in history, is inevitable.

If the Jurchens really dared to go south, he would definitely let them know that the pain of the soldiers going south!

"I'm afraid this is another big battle that will go down in history!"

Guo Yong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This is the last chapter of this volume. The next volume of the Great War of Shaanxi and the Calm of Western Xia are the theme.
