Zhao Zhen's words stunned everyone present, and everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing how the so-called family visit of the official family was to explore the law......

The families of the soldiers are scattered in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, even the nearest Zhending Mansion is hundreds of miles away from Xijin Mansion, the young and strong are better, how can the elderly come to visit their relatives?

Looking at Di Qing Xia Zhu and the others' big eyes, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "The so-called family visit is actually to let the families of the soldiers transport materials along the road, and the imperial court provides the needs along the way, including carriages, ox carts, forage, coiling, etc., they only need to transport things to Xijin Mansion." ”

Xia Zhu frowned and said, "What about the old people?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to answer, Bao Zheng continued: "In fact, there is no need for this, each village, township and neighborhood can send a person of high moral standing to organize young and strong young people, and these people will be drawn from the young brothers of the soldiers." ”

Zhao Zhen gave a suggestion, and his ministers took the initiative to analyze and solve, this is their role, the emperor gave a general direction, naturally he would not consider the details, otherwise the emperor would have been exhausted!

"Then this matter will be handed over to Xia Zhu Bao Zheng and the two of you, you must be cautious and meticulous, there is no trivial matter in the army, and the matter of visiting relatives is related to the combat strength of the soldiers and soldiers!"

Xia Zhu and Bao Zheng looked at each other and bowed together: "Your Majesty's will!" ”

Visiting relatives is a big burden for military generals, but it is not the case for Wenchen, as long as it is planned well and carried out in an orderly manner, in fact, this matter is not very difficult to solve, and Wenchen is best at planning as a whole.

Too many people visiting family? That would limit the age of the representative. Too far away? Then the court will subsidize the road expenses. Is there a loss in the imperial court? Then let them deliver supplies. There is always a way to turn losses into profits and plan family visits!

But only Zhao Zhen can think of this kind of whimsical idea of visiting relatives, and civil officials like Xia Zhu and Bao Zheng can't and can't consider this kind of problem, which is the difference between the top and the bottom.

The soldier's homesickness was successfully resolved, which made Di Qing let go of the only worry in his heart, at this moment, the army was outside, the supplies were sufficient, and the army's morale was stable, as long as the command was right, there was basically no big problem.

The Liao Dynasty was slow to hold its troops and put great pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the troubles have been eliminated, Di Qing has thousands of ways to try to harass the Liao people.

Zhao Zhen quickly gave him a chance: "Di Qing, you are my general, can you tell me what to do next?" ”

Zhao Zhen's words surprised the Wenchen present, starting from Taizong, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty would not ask the generals to use troops, and Taizong held all the command power tightly in his hands.

Now that the official family is so open-minded, such an inquiry is basically equivalent to delegating military power to Di Qing.

Di Qing got up excitedly, he understood what the official family meant, the command power during the battle was completely different from the current military power, as long as the official family agreed with his own point of view, it meant that he could arrange the forbidden army of the Northern Expedition at will, and the power was unimaginable in the past.

Even if he was excited, Di Qing still maintained the style of a general, and led everyone to the tent on the side, which had a standard map that Zhao Zhen sent people to survey.

"Qi Guanjia, once the military heart is stable, the homesickness of the soldiers will inevitably rise after the heart of meritorious service, this is the best time to adjust the way of fighting, in the past, it was mostly the Liao people who attacked my Great Song Dynasty borderland, and now I have tens of thousands of good horses in the Great Song Dynasty, strong armor, sharp swords, why not a tooth for a tooth?"

Di Qing's proposal made Zhao Zhen's eyes light up, and he only thought of shrinking his defense, using the powerful material foundation of the Great Song Dynasty to turn Fengshengzhou and Xijin Mansion into iron walls, but he forgot that offense was the best defense.

Although it is said that it should not change to change, but the shrinking defense is just a passive defense in the end, which is basically the same as the original defense policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am probably still affected by my father.

"Di Qing's family means that my Great Song cavalry took the initiative to attack and harass the Liao army with rangers and grass valleys?"

Di Qing nodded and said: "The official family is Shengming, this method can be used to train troops and border areas, second, it can suppress and deter the Liao people, and third, it can play a role in spying on the enemy's situation." ”

After Di Qing's explanation, not only Zhao Zhen was satisfied, but everyone also nodded again and again, Cao Wei and Yang Huaiyu were even more satisfied, for them, Di Qing was giving them military merits!

Cao Wei and Yang Huaiyu's garrisons were all strong, and they should not let them harass the Liao.

Zhao Zhen saw the joy in their eyes, although these two people are not the top handsome, but they are still quite good at leading the troops to fight, Cao Wei is decent, Yang Huaiyu is enterprising, there is always something brilliant.

After Zhao Zhen's change, the Wenchen of the Great Song Dynasty generally did not express too many opinions on military affairs, and they all knew that the official family was most disgusted with Wenchen bringing political means to military affairs.

Bao Zheng left first with a lot of trivial matters, Yang Huaiyu and Cao Wei, who had benefited from it, retreated one after another, they wanted to rush back to their stations to plan the dispatch of troops, Di Qing found an excuse and left, leaving Xia Zhu standing in place.

After so many years of getting along, Zhao Zhen has long understood the temper of these old foxes in the court, just like Wenchen understands himself.

Ignoring Xia Zhu at all, Zhao Zhen habitually recorded the things he had just discussed on the essay, which was his habit, and it was also convenient for the attendant to sort out and record them.

Xia Zhu, who had been waiting for a long time, found that if he didn't speak, the official family would never speak, so he sighed helplessly and said: "The official family's Northern Expedition is almost a year, and the Jinfu Mansion is determined by the overall situation of Shengzhou, I don't know when the official family will return to the court?" ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Why, the Chinese courtiers already have dissatisfaction?" ”

Xia Zhu shook his head slightly and said: "The official family is the king of heaven, and he should sit in the capital of a country, and now only the crown prince and queen are left in Tokyo City, which is really inappropriate. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, Xia Zhu really wanted to persuade himself to return to the court, which was expected by him, and it was the most reassuring thing for the courtiers to keep the emperor in front of him.

"I can't leave now, if the army's heart is turbulent, I don't know what it will look like if I don't press it here, seemingly small things can affect the entire battle situation, it is enough to have a prince and queen in Tokyo City, I don't need to feel at ease, but I can't do without me here." Although Tokyo City seems to be turbulent, it will not make too many waves, but Xijin Prefecture is different from Fengshengzhou, and it will change hands if you are not careful, and the Liao people are looking for opportunities if they are not moving, and I can't leave! ”

Xia Zhu knew that he couldn't persuade Zhao Zhen to show a helpless wry smile: "The old minister knows that where the official family is, he can stabilize one side, but the expedition of the king of a country must ensure the stability of Kyoto, otherwise there will be chaos!" Zhao Yunrang is just a delusional fool, but will there be anyone watching the position of Jiuding in the future? His Majesty's Northern Expedition was determined to make the Liao people shrink back, and this is a good time to return to Beijing and return to the dynasty! ”

Zhao Zhen was silent, Xia Zhu's words also represented the thoughts of the vast majority of Wenchen in the Great Song Dynasty, but this is not the time to retreat, the Northern Expedition is particularly important to the Great Song Dynasty, Wenchen saw that the army went deep into the enemy's territory, and after successive victories, they began to flutter, and they also regarded the victory as sparse and ordinary, they didn't know how much the Great Song Dynasty paid to achieve such amazing results.

Most of the silver transported from the Wa State was invested in the land of Yanyun, either to supply the army, or for construction, and the tax silver of the treasury was mostly used to give soldiers as a reward, in general, the Great Song Dynasty did not get too much practical benefit from this war, but Zhao Zhen still insisted that the reason for the strategic significance of the land of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty was that money could not buy it.
