Chapter 341: The Discussion of the Brave Assassin

"With this foundation, there is the capital of a strong army, although the Konoha barbarian soldiers are fierce, but Tian Chengbao is stupid, and the army under his leadership is not so much a soldier as a bandit."

"Before the war, I spied on the military situation in Kuizhou, and was easily deceived by the minister; During the war, he despised our army and pressed the whole army with a gambler's mentality, trying to succeed in one fell swoop; After the defeat, they fled in droves, without any order. ”

"The most ridiculous thing is that Tian Chengbao was not thoughtful, knowing that there was a waterway in the Xiajiang River, but he didn't take precautions, and was sent by his ministers to go up from the waterway and dismantle the upstream plank road.

Everyone listened to the eyebrows, the scale of this battle is actually not large, but the record is definitely not small, and the first battle stabilized the party, leaving no sequelae, this is the result that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to achieve but did not achieve when it dealt with Western Xia.

Fu Bi asked: "Mingrun, you have also seen the envoy of the Western Xia just now, do you have your own opinion on the northwest?" ”

Su You bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Privy Minister, prepare for war." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Sima Guang said angrily: "Mingrun, you have to be cautious!" Between Kangding and Qingli, Yuan Hao was burdened with Chao'en, disobeyed his fate for no reason, insulted and disrespectful, and violated the border. ”

"The imperial court did its best to serve the border, Liu Ping, Ren Fu, and Ge Huaimin were destroyed one after another, and the number of soldiers and dead was tens of thousands."

"If the regular army is insufficient, it will benefit the township soldiers, and the foreign government will be insufficient, and then the internal army. The people are desperate and their property is exhausted. Don't you know that?! ”

Fu Bi also said: "I am in charge of the privy council, and I know how to be prepared, but Mingrun's words are too sensational, and I am not sure of the information, how do I know that Lord Xia will come?" ”

Su You said: "Xianggong, big admonition, and listen to Su You." ”

"Now in the Great Song Dynasty, Renzong Immortal has ascended, and the Holy Lord has changed the Yuan."

"The Khitan has only experienced the rebellion of the imperial uncle Chongyuan, and it is because he is too busy to take care of himself."

"The two countries now have neither the will nor the strength to fight."

"But forgiveness is different, he is the same age as the minister, and when he first took charge of national politics, it was when he was arrogant as a young man. If he doesn't have to fight, he won't be able to stand on his own! ”

"How did the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom get in charge of the country? It was to use foreign generals to kill his uncle and mother. This is the so-called strong branch and the root cause of the disease, and the next thing will be to put the chaos right. If not, how can he be at ease? ”

"Therefore, controlling the military power of Western Xia is the first priority for Lang Zuo."

"How? With the nature of the Yi chief wolf owl, he can only lead the army in person, conquer in all directions, and gradually gain control of the army in the midst of blood and fire! ”

"You put yourself in your shoes and think about it, forgive me, is there a need for a war? If he were to choose an enemy, who would he choose? ”

This analysis is reasonable, the others are fine, Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji can't help but bring some worry on their faces.

Su You bowed down and said: "When the minister was in the southwest, I heard that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty worked together to help each other. It is really the filial piety of the mother and the son. ”

"I also heard that the old man is the ruler, the privy is serious, the advice is upright, and the imperial history is upright."

"Compared with the worries of the Ji Sun of Western Xia and the Khitan, although the ministers are on the border, they are always happy to celebrate - Si Guosi, and to have such a mother and son monarch and minister, this is God bless my Emperor Song, God bless my Li Min."

Everyone didn't expect Su You to come to such a sentence, and suddenly they all showed wonderful expressions, Zhao Shu was inevitably touched, Han Qi Sima Guang was inexplicably surprised, Zhang Fangping Su Song smiled appreciatively, and King Ying ...... There was some excitement in the eyes of this young man.

As for the Queen Mother behind the curtain, she was silent and couldn't see her expression.

Now it is also a very sensitive period in the Great Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother has basically returned to power, but she has always refused to remove the curtain, grasped the last step of the paperwork and did not sign, and at the same time held the seal and refused to hand it over.

Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu have been having a headache about this for almost a month.

Everyone persuaded the mother and son, who were not related by blood, from the perspective of natural kindness and filial piety, but no one ever advised other countries from the height of national security.

The killing of parents and daughters in Western Xia, the rebellion of Khitan uncles, the rebellion of relatives, and the turmoil of the country are all bloody examples that happen in front of us.

Su You stopped immediately: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Zaizhi, Privy Council, in terms of national strength, the Great Song Dynasty does not want to fight, or even the Western Xia does not want to fight." However, now the Western Xia had to attack, and the Great Song Dynasty also had to respond. This is the time when acting skills have changed, and the so-called arrows are on the string, and they have to be heard. ”

"So if you prepare one day earlier, you can lose a point."

Weichen estimated that in the future, Lang Zuo would use the humiliation of the envoy as an excuse to stir up side affairs. It can even be said that this is the reason why this summer envoy is particularly domineering. ”

"Fortunately, the fundamental purpose of forgiveness is only to control more troops and consolidate his position; And not for the people of the land, the money and grain market are easy. Therefore, its determination to attack will not be too strong, and when it is prepared, it will most likely withdraw its troops. So as long as we are well prepared, or this battle, it is not difficult to fight. ”

"But if we're unprepared, it's no wonder that someone else is picking up a big bargain!"

The bigwigs were silent for a while, and after a while, Zhao Shu asked: "Let's all discuss it, is Su You's inference reasonable?" ”

Now Su You's back has been firmly affixed with a label of "understanding military affairs", and the command of the battle may not be good, but the strategic staff officer, analysis and foresight, can be regarded as having been verified.

This inference is reasonable, and the Tangut people have been making changes since last year, and no one can say that Su You's statement is wrong.

Han Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, today's righteousness and bravery, tens of thousands of people in Hebei and tens of thousands of people in Hedong, brave and pure, born in nature, and have material assets, parents and wives, if you are a little concise, you will become a soldier of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"At the beginning of Shaanxi's Western affairs, he also tried to choose one Ding as the archer, and then stabbed him as the Baojie Army. It wasn't until the Xia State paid the money that the imperial court picked it up, and there are very few survivors today. ”

"Your Majesty, the three roads of Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi, when the northwest controls the place, things should be one. Now, if you are brave in the Shaanxi Prefectures, stop stabbing the back of your hand and not stabbing your face, it will not cause shock. “

Han Qi also said: "If you are in a hurry, you can also let Yongxing, Hezhong, and Fengxiang stab first." After that, it will gradually spread to the counties according to the situation. Although it is not without small disturbances for a while, it will eventually grow into a long-term benefit. ”

"Therefore, the minister implores His Majesty to make an edict to re-execute one of the three in Shaanxi, and the assassination will be righteous and brave, and the court will raise its eyes to become 200,000 elite soldiers."

Sima Guang immediately objected: "Your Majesty, the people who cultivate mulberry are not accustomed to fighting. The officials not only spent food and clothing, but also had to provide for private households, and the flesh and blood were displaced, and the countryside was ruined. ”

"The population of Shaanxi, since the defeat of Haoshuichuan, has not been able to recover for more than 20 years, and this is the reason."

"Now in Hedong, Hebei, the border affairs are a little slow, and the people of the imperial court are full of righteousness and bravery, and they are no longer assassinated as the main army."

"Since the beginning of the West, Shaanxi has been trapped in scientific adjustment, and compared with Jingyou, the people's power has been reduced by two-thirds; In addition, he has been repeatedly apologized for in recent years, and the people are even more miserable. ”

"This autumn, Fang won Xiao Minoru, and he could have rested for a while, but there was a police on the border, and the hearts of the people were already shaking. If you hear this edict, you will be generally disturbed. ”

"Besides, now that there are many regular troops in Shaanxi, there is no shortage of them, why do you want to do such a harmful and useless thing to follow the rut of overturning?"

Fu Bi retorted: "Setting up righteousness and courage is the story of the previous dynasty, Hedong, Hebei, hundreds of thousands of victorious soldiers without food and clothing, all of whom are proficient in teaching and reading, and can fight the enemy; Soldiers out of the people, in line with the ancient system of the Han and Tang Dynasties, why can't it be done now? ”

Sima Guang was furious: "The so-called ability of the prime minister to fight, dare to ask what merits are there to rely on?" ”

"In the third generation, the method of Jingtian was used to produce soldiers and horses. Ju is the Bilu ethnic party. The line is a soldier brigade division. For his elders, all of them are doctors. ”

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers had their own battalions. There are generals, generals, generals, and Guo Yi. Therefore, on the day of the order, tens of thousands of people can be assembled, and those who dare to flee and hide are because the government soldiers are disciplined. ”

"But what are the village soldiers like today? Although there is a name for the military festival level, they are all their township party marriages, and they pat each other's shoulders and sleeves on weekdays, drink and fight, where is there a little bit of strictness between the upper and lower ranks of the regular army? ”

"When there is peace and quiet, the state and county gather to teach, but they can also march in a decent manner, open the bow and expand the crossbow, as if they can fight the enemy."

"But once you hear that the enemy is incoming, the border soldiers have been defeated, and the border city is not defended, you can't help but face the wind and rush to disperse. Its soldiers are scurrying and scurrying, and they are unable to save themselves. The 300,000 villagers stabbed in the Qingli calendar, can there be one person who should use it?! ”
