Chapter 941: Western Affairs

In order to prevent Lu Huiqing from messing around, Su You still invited him to his Flying Fish, called hospitality to catch the wind, but in fact, he preached and received karma to solve his doubts.

The most important thing is to let Lu Huiqing understand the special position of the South China Sea in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is an exchange organ of arterial blood and venous blood, which is an important source of vitality for the body of the Great Song Dynasty, and cannot be regarded as wild.

Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world, there are no eternal friends, let alone eternal enemies.

With Lu Huiqing's character, the individual ranks first and the country ranks second, but he has a bottom line, that is, when the individual has no hope, or after satisfying personal needs, this person will not break the jar or be happy, but will make the country naturally the first priority.

There are many interests in the South China Sea, and the Lu family can do things that occupy an area on Liangzhejiang Road, and I believe that they can devote themselves to this boiling business sea with more enthusiasm.

For these, Su oil is actually happy to see it. Now the South China Sea is full of opportunities, and the Lu family has many ways to make a fortune, and there is no need to use the plan that occupies the land that is easy to cause impeachment in the imperial history.

The banquet on the Flying Fish was exquisite, and the two chatted while drinking, and gradually, Lu Huiqing's governance of the South China Sea Fourth Road was already in mind.

Lu Huiqing also had to admire Su You's "political literacy" regardless of his previous suspicions, and finally said to Su You: "Mingrun, what do you think of my measures in Shaanxi?" ”

Su You used chopsticks to clip a piece of fish to Lu Huiqing: "In fact, I have always agreed with the subject of military synthesis, but this does need professionals to complete." ”

"Lu Gong, I trust your ability very much, even if you are unfamiliar for a while, it doesn't matter, I can't stand your learning ability too strong."

"But Gong Lu, Xu Xi, is it really the right person? I'm afraid that not only will he not succeed, but he will end up dragging you down. ”

Lu Huiqing said: "Does Mingrun have a prejudice against him? Xu Xi is also a figure like Wang Shao. ”

Su You shook his head: "Wang Zichun did not serve for ten years after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he settled down to study side affairs, traveled in Qingtang, Shaanxi for ten years, went deep into various tribes, and even disguised himself as a merchant leader and went to Xia Country with a caravan. ”

"In ten years, using the smuggling channels of the Tibetan people, I not only figured out the entanglements and relationships between the tribes, but also the factions of the Western Army, the character of the generals, the strength of the troops, the storage, the output, the livelihood, the geography and climate, the internal and external enemies, the military situation and the people's livelihood, all-encompassing, and all-encompassing, and then presented the "Pingrong Policy" to the imperial court."

"I don't know about Xu Xi, but judging from his resume and chapter music, being able to say such things as Xixia is not enough shows that he doesn't know Xixia at all."

"We suffered the loss of the enemy Western Xia, and did we still eat less? It cannot but be said that it is a huge mistake to put such a person in the west for military measures. ”

"Actually, the imperial court should keep you in Jingyuan, transfer Wang Zichun back to Shaanxi to assist, one article and one martial arts, and check and balance the five roads."

"Put Xu Xi in Kuizhou, Jingnan, or even exchange appointments with Duke Lu, you can come to the South China Sea, and exercise for a period of time in areas where the external pressure is not so tense and there are military affairs, and then observe and observe."

"Xu Xi was born in cloth and suddenly advanced to a high position, His Majesty thought that it was advisable to 'not count his body for the country', and he also thought that his ability was extremely strong, in my opinion, he still committed the old problem of 'entering people too sharp'."

"Civil officials like to consider things from a strategic height, look at the overall situation, and weigh the pros and cons, which is an advantage in itself. But that doesn't mean you can win just because you have the right strategy. ”

"It is often not the longest board on the barrel that determines the victory of a war, but the shortest board."

"I also read the recital between you and Xu Xi, multi-arms coordination, there is a dead knot that you have not untied, and if you can't untie this knot, you can't solve the problem of Western Xinjiang."

Su You is a person who has experienced the war with Western Xia, and Lu Huiqing did not dare to despise his words, and asked: "Dare to hear high opinions." ”

Su You said: "Your method has indeed strengthened the commander's commanding power, at least 5,000 people act under one order, reduce the number of orders, and speed up the response, which can be regarded as a big progress." ”

"But has Gong Lu thought about it? Among these 5,000 people, there was a mixture of Fan and Han, foot and horseman, and there was a lack of coordinated training. ”

"The action ability of the infantry army has not been improved in any way because of this, and the cavalry army now has to take into account the action of the infantry army, isn't this the abolition of the cavalry's action ability?"

Lu Huiqing said: "A change will inevitably have gains and losses. However, there is a cloud at the beginning of "Sun Tzu": through five things, the school is calculated, and the feelings are asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”

"The first three, manpower or not reach, and the second priority is to be with the law, how is it wrong?"

Su You said with a smile: "What Lu Gong said is that he is most afraid of not being investigated in detail in everything, and only recognizes the scriptures and historical texts as the guideline. ”

"Therefore, the sentence before the five things is more important than the five things - 'school the plan, and ask for the situation.'" ”

"Then may I ask, in order to improve the general's command ability, sacrificing the mobility of the cavalry, one gain and one loss is doomed, so is this exchange really cost-effective?"

"After careful analysis, we will find that if we are dealing with the four counties of the South China Sea, our opponents are basically infantry troops, then like Di Shumike Shengnon Zhigao, the infantry army defends the formation, and when the two sides are deadlocked, the cavalry is prominent, this exchange is of course very cost-effective. At that time, Di Shumi really won the Quy Nhon paving because of this. ”

"But in Shaanxi, the situation may not be the same."

"The Western Xia sergeant, originally based on cavalry warfare, back then, Li Yuanhao in one day, transferred to a hundred miles, received three enemies, three grams of the Song army, can be called the strongest in the world."

"In the face of such ability, we still use this exchange, is it cost-effective? The cavalry army that the Song army had worked so hard to cultivate, was once trapped and died by the side of the infantry army, and there was still an advantage to speak of? Isn't this back to before the good water river? ”

Lu Huiqing objected: "Mingrun, you must know that this is already the best plan. Now the forts of Shaanxi are connected in series, and 5,000 people are in charge of one district, even if the attack is weak, but it is safe to protect themselves. This is also the experience and lessons summed up by the Great Song Dynasty after the good water river, and the method vigorously promoted by Fan Wenzhenggong. ”

"Mixed place of foot and horse, activities in the city around the city, echoing each other, such as arms and fingers, isn't it more impregnable to protect Shaanxi?"

Su You smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Duke Lu, Duke Lu, you underestimate Your Majesty's enterprising heart too much." ”

Lu Huiqing was surprised: "Enterprising? Qingtang and Hengshan have not yet been fully controlled, and we are still in confrontation with Western Xia at most, which way is Your Majesty ready to enter? ”

Su You said: "The attitude of the imperial court can be seen from the recent order of the imperial court. ”

"In October of the first year of Yuanfeng, he ordered the Wulu Prefecture Army to strengthen the city soldiers, and when there was no material to repair the city and the towers, he ordered the pacification department to take ten points as the rate, and three points to order the cannons, and the rest to learn to hang and refuse to defend the equipment."

"In December, he ordered the five roads to prepare eleven craftsmen, and all paid the five roads to prepare the messengers, and instructed them to apply, and they were replaced every three years."

"In January this year, the Xihe Road State Army also followed this example."

"In the same month, the library of the Yujingfu Palace, the inspection of the gold silk, and the sealing of the fifty-two warehouses have been completed."

"In February, the imperial court officials made floating beams and fire forks in Lanzhou, which were not unpredictable for prevention. I am also afraid that in case of Kou Kou, I will go down with the river with fire rafts and fire boats, and the wind will be blazing, so as not to build 20 warships, so as to attack them, and set up a member of the Yellow River patrol in Lanzhou, and select 500 soldiers to clear the river, in the name of catching the Yellow River thieves, practice water warfare, and be prepared. This is the secret defense of the Liao State"

"Although it was stopped by the pacification division of the Daimyo Mansion Road, the imperial court followed closely and took the Huanqing Road soldiers, Han, Fan archers, and strongmen as the eight generals."

In March, Xu Xi sent to Weizhou. At the end of the month, Didao County, Xizhou was replaced. ”

"In April, Xingjin Mingchi, watching the water frolicking, feasting and shooting Qionglin Garden, and parading the four armies."

"In May, the Kaifeng Prefecture Boundary Xiang Army was reduced, and the head of the Jiaoda was appointed as the head of the sect, and the three departments were selected, and Zhongmu, Zhongmu, Wei, and Dongming were separated."

"With the deputy governor of the inner Wang Zhongli, the envoy of the East Shanghemen Di Zhi, and the general secretary Gao Gongji as the three promotion officials. The rest was given a one-year salary and transferred to the construction corps to build road transportation and city defense. ”

"Lu Gong, it's in full swing, what are you doing?"

Lu Huiqing was dumbfounded: "But...... But now there is more defense than enough, and there is not enough progress, and it is not the time for war. ”

Su You was also a little speechless: "Now the two Zhejiang roads, Shuzhong, Shaanxi are cultivating mules and horses, but now there are new breeds of good horses and mules, but there are only 20,000, and the teeth are tender, and it will take three to four years to serve." ”

"My original intention was to enrich them in Shaanxi after three or four years, and then organize and train the Han army, realize the overall mule and horse transformation of the army, and then raise the speed of the infantry army, and then implement Lu Gong's policy, and then it will be a matter of course."

"Now it seems that there will be trouble. Hehehe, if there is a small war in Western Xinjiang, it is fine, if it is a big war, I am afraid that Xu Xi, a person who has no practice and has high eyes, will bring a disaster to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
