Chapter 1325 Internal Minister

So Su You was happy and held a vigorous military games in Lingzhou with peace of mind.

Individual competitions include bow, crossbow, horse racing, weightlifting, wrestling, throwing, shooting, and assassination.

Team competitions include Intelligence Relay, Map Intersperse, Polo, Rugby, Cavalry Squad Skimming and Infantry 10-Man Match.

Li Shunju, who rushed to the labor army from Weizhou, saw a scene on the school field outside Lingzhou City, and felt that the atmosphere in Lingzhou was too joyful.

"Okay—" There was an earth-shattering cheer from the schoolyard, and an olive-shaped ball swept high over two wooden poles and fell like a cannonball on Li Shunju's carriage.

The guard punched the football out, but grabbed the sergeant who ran over to pick it up: "Where's the bachelor?" ”

In the distance, the two lieutenants in the brocade robes who were watching the battle saw the car driving banner here, and with an "ouch" sound, they ran over: "Ancestor, why are you here?" It's a bumpy road...... I'll help you......"

In terms of seniority, Li Shunju is the highest among the internal officials today, and in terms of position, Li Ruoyu has to call him uncle, and Tong Guan has to call him Zuzu.

Let's put it this way, Li Shunju is actually equivalent to the prime minister in the inner court.

is still a rare cultural official, in Zhancheng to Su You's big fish to expand the inscription poems, that is to say, calligraphy is also quite considerable.

is generous and humble, and the juniors have been lifted by his grace.

Li Shunju helped Li Ruoyu out of the carriage: "It's not easy, this is Lingzhou?" What are the boys doing? ”

"Huh! What the marshal said, let the sergeants relax and hold their strength, and when they are ready, we will cross the river! Ancestor, you see, that is the north gate that was blown down for us, and it is being repaired! ”

Li Shunju laughed: "You guys are good, Tong boy, I heard that you took the lead, invited Liang Yongneng twice, and finally blocked him in Kujing Village?" ”

Tong Guan is usually an arrogant person, but now he is too well-behaved, nodding his head: "Yes, yes, a little credit, and the old ancestors are still worried, Tong Guan is embarrassed......"

"The key is to love soldiers like sons and go deep into the barracks." Li Shunju was very satisfied with Tong Guan: "In this regard, the rest are not as good as you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Li Shunju said: "But this is just the way of the general, but not the way of the commander, the supervising army is the general and the minister, and if you don't understand the strategy, you will only break through the battle and capture the flag, and it is not a matter." ”

"Seeing that you are a seedling, when this battle is over, I will go and talk to Your Majesty and send you to the Royal Military Academy for a few years."

"Ouch! Thank you, Ancestor! ”

After chatting, Li Shunju asked, "What about Master Su?" ”

Tong Guan said: "I'm discussing the boat with Shi Yong." I'll take my ancestors with me! ”

When they came to a pond on the edge of the Guqin Canal, where there was a large construction site made of temporary pine wood, Su You and Gao Zunyu were standing at the door, smiling and greeting.

Li Shunju hurriedly dismounted: "How dare you greet the bachelor and the uncle." ”

Theoretically speaking, the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty had the responsibility to defend the territory, and the wars that occurred in the territory were basically in charge of the civilian officials, but the major expeditions to the outside world were almost the business of the military ministers.

From the beginning of the founding of the country to the overturning of the Gaoliang River, and then to the first five-way summer war, it is basically the same.

When he arrived in the Western Xia Dynasty, seeing that the military ministers were really unreliable, the Great Song Dynasty began to send civilian officials to take charge of the military.

Of course, this is also very related to the foreign war of the Great Song Dynasty, from attacking abroad to defending at home.

So far, there have been two exceptions, Wang Shao and Su You.

The two of them are also the only two Wenban marshals who have organized large-scale wars and conquered vassal states in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Western Xia was arrogant for 80 years, and the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the porter, thought that if it was not for Su You, this battle would not be assured.

This is also the reason why Su You followed Gao Zunyu's camp to Lingzhou.

Li Shunju and Su You are old partners in the South China Sea, and Zhao Ji sent him to serve as the director of the army, and manage the military assets and the Huangsong Bank, in fact, he also has great trust in the two.

Su You and Li Shunju also have a lot of trust in each other's abilities, and since the Western Expedition, the two have a tacit understanding between one inside and one outside.

Su You arched his hand and said: "The three hundred miles of dry sea are still rushing to repair the road, and the palace envoy has worked hard this way." ”

Li Shunju smiled and said: "You have to fight all the way over, and the old man came here in the ice sled car made by the bachelor, but it is just a tour of the mountains and rivers, not to mention hard work." ”

After Li Shunju returned to Beijing from the South China Sea, because of his great achievements, he was appointed by Zhao Ji as the official matter of the first palace in the east and outside of the country.

This position is the position of the old minister of Zhishi, who has made significant and outstanding contributions, and it is the top treatment of a branch of the Great Song Dynasty system-Ancestral Lu. Generally, non-prime ministers retire and cannot be obtained.

However, the opening up of the South China Sea, the establishment of the city and the establishment of the city, and the increase of one-third of the Great Song Dynasty's annual income were too great, and Zhao Ji used this as an excuse to encroach on the rights of the civil officials, but the civil officials had no way to oppose it.

Similarly, because of this experience, although Li Shunju was already in a semi-retired state, he was still appointed by Zhao Ji as the commander of the Xia army.

Li Shunju was in the Su oil tent and found that there were two working areas here.

On one side is a military topographic map, with various red and blue arrows on it, marked, showing the situation of the enemy and the enemy, and it is obvious that that the stall is Gao Zunyu's home field.

On the other side, this is the engineering design drawing, in addition to the road map, there are also a lot of equipment drawings, vehicle and ship drawings, this is the territory of the science and engineering team led by Su You and Shi Yong.

Because Su You wanted to coordinate the two aspects, he simply got them together.

A few people sat down, and Li Shunju looked at the busy polytechnic talents and military staff officers on both sides: "This method is not bad, the two of you are open-minded, I will definitely report to Your Majesty." ”

Li Shunju is an old fritter, and he can see at a glance the fundamental purpose of Su You's establishment of the shogunate - to be open and transparent, and not to provoke suspicion.

looked at a red arrow pointing to Lanzhou on the military map: "That's?" ”

Gao Zunyu said: "A few days ago, the three armies of Xiaorui, Baojie, and Huyi, with tens of thousands of cavalry, plus caravans shipped by Sitong, and military vehicles replenishing equipment, made a big fanfare, and marched to Lanzhou together, where they will join forces with Li Xian, cross the Yellow River and arrive at Yingli Pass. ”

Li Shun nodded: "This is to create the illusion that the army is preparing to cross the river and attack by land?" ”

Gao Zunyu explained: "It's not entirely an illusion, the main goal after crossing the river is, of course, to contain the Xingqing Mansion army, lure them to attack, and create an internal emptiness. But after that, they still have the task of collecting Guasha and hollowing out the Western Regions. ”

Li Shunju asked: "Jialiang is also a famous general of the Xia State, the 100,000 elites of the Gansu Military Division, and the armor is sharp, all relying on the old army to support it, can Liu Changzuo and Li Xian do it?" ”

Gao Zunyu said: "Now that the main force of the Xia people is elite, most of them have been eaten by our army, the defenders of Xingqing Mansion are only 100,000, and the army of Jialiang's West Road, it is impossible for them not to pay attention to it." ”

"According to the reason that the guards will Bao Shun play, half a month ago, the two departments of Liangzhou Tugan and Yeli have escaped into Xiu Tuze along the valley, and it is obvious that they are going to the military division of Baimaqiang Town to consolidate the North Road of Xingqing Mansion as the main force of reinforcements."

Gushui is the Shiyang River, and Hutuze is the area of Minqin in the later generations, which is a huge oasis basin between the Danbajaran Desert and the Tengger Desert, and after Yingliguan was occupied by the Song army, it was the only road that could detour through the long desert to support Xingqing.

Li Shunju was a little puzzled: "But this bend is really a bit big, a full 1,600 miles...... With the ability of Jia Liang, you won't be able to see this, right? Wouldn't it be much better if he led an army of 100,000 down the river to settle the pass? ”

Su You said with a smile: "Jialiang is an old fox, and he knows that there was a Hoarding Army of Ah Lie at that time, so he let his tribe go to Tuze, where the water and grass are abundant, and he is not worried that cattle and horses will not get forage, and he ......."

"War is nothing but a continuation of politics, not only externally, but also internally."

With Liang's trust in Jialiang, he was forced to give up Liangzhou and go to Xiutu instead, hehehe...... Weird, isn't it? ”

Saying this, Li Shunju and Gao Zunyu, the two political creatures, also understood, and Li Shunju couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The superior is incompetent, and he is tired to death of the three armies!" In the end, it's still my great Song Tianzi Shengming. ”
