Lu Xuzhi's thoughts represent the thoughts of many literati in this era, this kind of people are actually easy to understand, there is no shortage in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and later generations called it the Holy Mother School. On the one hand, he is worried about the country and the people, and on the other hand, he is cowardly and ignorant.

But society really can't lack this kind of people, because if the overall atmosphere of a society is blindly iron-blooded, it is also a terrible thing, and this kind of Virginian thought is needed to hedge against iron-blooded thought, so it is the golden mean.

Sometimes there is some conflict between the state and the people, such as wars, as far as the facts are concerned, the people will have sacrifices, some people have no father, some people have no husband, some people have no son, this is a tragic thing. But without war, the national security environment will always be threatened, and even larger tragedies may occur.

Under dialectic, there should be trade-offs, and some wars need to be avoided, so a faction of people needs to fight on the basis of reason. Some wars have to be fought, and another faction is needed to disagree with the public.

At this time, it was naturally time for Gan Qili to disagree with the public, he looked at Lu Xu, and asked: "What is it that you can get a moment of peace for a day, be brave, and be stable for decades?" ”

Lu Shu saw that Gan Qi spoke, where could he not understand in his heart? But he still said: "Xianggong, there has been a saying since ancient times, warlike will die, this time it has already stopped the war and made peace, if you still want to attack, you will inevitably be suspicious of belligerence." ”

Argument is never a means to decide things, Gan Qi looked at Lu Xu, and smiled slightly: "Governor Lu is right, warlike will die, a warlike country like Western Xia, with its reckless military force and frequent provocations, will surely perish." ”

The petty official was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly continued: "What the minister said is extremely true, haha...... The party is the warlike nation, and it will perish. ”

Lu Shu was in a hurry, and he was going to fight for reason.

Gan Qi raised his hand: "Needless to say, this time the army has come thousands of miles, and there are countless places to eat and drink, how can it easily retreat?" If we retreat easily this time, the party members will think that our Great Song Army will be incompetent, and it will be even more unscrupulous in the future, and this battle will be fought, needless to say. ”

After speaking, Gan Qi got up and came out, and waved to Chong stunned: "Take me to patrol the battalions in Yanzhou." ”

Stunned, hurriedly head forward, please lead the way.

Lu Xuan still shouted: "Gan Xianggong, you disregard the overall situation, the safety of the people, for your own merits, you have to start a war between the two countries, the lower officials must play truthfully and report to Your Majesty." ”

Gan Qi glanced back at Lu Xu, his face extremely ugly. It's also interesting now, everyone talks to him about the "big picture", and Gan Qi is also a little puzzled, what is the big picture?

Does everyone see the big picture differently?

If the party does not fight, it will become a disaster, and this is also the overall situation of Ganqi. Gan Qi closed his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just said, "Han Jiang." ”

Han Jiang stepped forward and arched his hand: "The lower official is here." ”

"Manpower and material resources, money, food and logistics, everything will be paid to you, and you will run an errand in this prefect's yamen, and you will come to see you if you can't do it." Ganchi was already out of the house.

Han Jiang arched his hand: "Don't worry, the emperor's order is in his body, and he doesn't dare to slack off." ”

Lu Xuan looked at Han Jiang, where could he not understand in his heart? This is the meaning of seizing power, a state capital's money and grain are dispatched, all of which are the power of the prefect, and a Beijing official came and took away all his power.

Lu Shu shouted: "Gan Xianggong, you can't act like this beyond your authority." ”

Ganchi didn't bother to answer, and was already on his horse at the door.

Han Jiang replied with Lu Xu: "Please also ask Governor Lu to forgive the sin, this is an errand of the emperor's order, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey." ”

As Gan Qi went out, he was stunned and happy, and a Gan Xianggong came, which finally gave him a feeling of letting go of his hands and feet, he was naturally smiling, but the young breeder on the side couldn't help but speak: "Really relieved, then the Lu Governor's Mansion is not a good official, Yanzhou's army of 30,000 or 40,000, that is, there are more than 20,000 horses in Yanzhou City, but they are besieged by 20,000 people and dare not come out, don't you teach the party people to laugh?" ”

The seed was stunned and immediately glanced back at the seed master who was talking nonsense.

The seed master said embarrassedly: "Fortunately, Gan Xianggong came, and as soon as Gan Xianggong came, everything was fine." ”

Gan Qi looked at the uncle and nephew and smiled.

In the Yanzhou military camp, the drums sounded, and people and horses gathered from all over the place, it was the speed of this gathering of troops, Gan Qi was very satisfied, and he was always preparing for the battle against the Northwest Army, and he really would not disappoint.

However, more than 20,000 men and horses still disappointed Gan Qi, Gan Qi knew that the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was now the most brave and able to fight in the northwest, but he didn't know that the equipment of the Western Army was like this, one or two thousand iron armor, and the rest were leather armor, and even some people's leather armor was tattered. I don't know how many years the blade has been used, although it has been sharpened to a cold light, but many knives and guns are a few circles smaller, this is not bad maintenance, but it has been used for too long, sharpened too much, and sharpened too much.

Gan Qi had a sense of sadness, such a poor army, a force that had been fighting with the Tubo people for so many years.

Something is wrong in this era, and there is always something wrong.

What's wrong?

Ganchi has the answer, it's not that the state doesn't have money, it's not that the state doesn't have resources. Rather, the country has long since lost the ability to allocate resources. Tokyo is rich like that, Jiangnan is also rich, and even the daimyo's mansion is rich, but the resources can't go where they should go.

What is the point of existence of a national organization that does not even have the ability to rationally allocate resources?

The real and only meaning of the state is to let resources go where they should go.

It is to let the ministers of Tokyo eat a few less delicacies from the mountains and seas, and let the army have a few more life-saving iron armor. This thing is easy to say, difficult to say, but it is as difficult as the sky.

One by one, the generals had dark faces and stepped forward to meet Gan Dagong.

Gan Qi nodded, everyone gave a few words of encouragement, and then said, "Prepare each other, and start tomorrow morning." ”

Many generals received orders, Gan Qi had to encourage these people, and the method was very simple, Gan Qi spoke: "The order of the Privy Council, there is merit in planting the stunned side, and there is also merit in retreating from the enemy, and he will be promoted to deputy chief of Yanzhou soldiers and horses, plus guerrilla generals." ”

He was stunned and overjoyed, he originally wanted to be able to reinstate the official, but this time he was suddenly promoted, the title of general, and he was unexpectedly happy, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"You deserve it." Ganchi replied.

Looking at the many generals in the audience, they were all full of energy, not for anything else, just for the hands and feet to be let go, knowing the intentions of the imperial court, and knowing that as long as they were enterprising, they could be promoted.

I also know how to act in the future.

Gan Qi is hinting to everyone, do it, as long as you succeed, there will be a heavy reward.

These generals in the northwest are brave and good at fighting, and they will do it!

But you still have to have a capable manager, you can't do it blindly.

The crowd dispersed, gearing up one by one, packing up their belongings and preparing to kick off.

Gan Qi came with 7,000 cavalry, plus more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, almost 30,000. Yanzhou also has 4,000 cavalry, and there are cavalry in earnest.

Han Jiang began to be in charge of logistics, and Zhang Ji began to join the army.

In the city of Suizhou, Di Yong was excited when he saw Gan Qi, and thousands of people and horses knelt down with Di Yong under the stage and bowed, shouting might.

After a meeting of the Chinese army, Gan Qi began to study various maps, and also asked the generals present about various terrain and roads, as well as the general distribution of enemy troops.

Time is running out, the meeting is over, and the next day it will be launched, and it will go straight to the siege of Longzhou.

In Longzhou City, there were 40,000 party troops, and outside Longzhou City, there were less than 40,000 Song troops, so they were fenced up.

The main general of the Longzhou Party turned out to be the young emperor Li Liangzuo, which Gan Qi did not expect, he didn't even know the roots of this emperor.

Everyone introduced Gan Qi, and Gan Qi knew that this emperor was only twenty years old, and he was a great figure, he ascended the throne at the age of one and succeeded to the throne, and he began to seize power in the thirteenth and fourteenth years, killing his uncle, killing his relatives, killing the general, and then the power was in his hands, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old people could do these things, which is really amazing.

This emperor is also an extremely belligerent emperor, from time to time he leads troops to invade the border, and two years ago he used a trick to lure the main general of the Great Song Dynasty security army out of the city and kill him.

It's also strange that Gan Qi is in Tokyo and has never heard of it at all?

The emperor of the enemy country, booby-trapped the general of our army, did not cause a little turmoil in Bianliang?

Looking back, two years ago, what was Ganchi doing? Fighting in Yanyun? In this way, I can also figure out a little, it must be that the imperial court that received the news at that time suppressed the news, and was afraid of fighting with the two fronts of the Western Xia of the Liao State, so he put up with this matter.

In the past few years, the war in the northwest has continued, Li Liangzuo has led troops to invade the territory from time to time, and the court has endured it, no wonder Lu Shu can be the prefect in Yanzhou, and it is not without reason. No wonder Chong was stunned and couldn't help but march into Suizhou, he was too aggrieved, and what was even more aggrieved was that Chong was stunned and won the battle.

When he heard this again, he was so angry that Gan Qi scolded: "A group of corpses and vegetarian people live in the court, they are incorruptible and shameless, they only care about their own wine and meat every day, and they don't care about the life and death of the border army." What's the use of such fairness? ”

He was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Be cautious, be cautious." ”

Gan Qi, where is he still afraid of these now? He also said: "The dead people in the northwest, written into words, it is just an official document, thousands of miles to Tokyo, those ministers saw it, put the table and threw it, and it was a trivial matter like someone fighting on the street, but I don't know how difficult it is in the northwest." Ridiculous......"

It is also the same reason, thousands of miles away in the northwest, a battle was fought, and the enemy retreated. Isn't it a trivial matter to get to Tokyo? Especially in Tokyo recently, he has fought Liao, attacked Yanyun, and has to deal with Ganqi, who has high merit and is the master, which is not a big thing? It's just a few battles in the northwest, which is not a matter in the eyes of those ministers.

But I don't know that this is conniving at the party members to be more unscrupulous, coming as they say, burning, killing and looting, and leaving as soon as they say. An official like Lu Shu also took the initiative to make major matters small and took the initiative to cover them up, which made the Tokyo Imperial Court even more indifferent to the affairs of the northwest. If Gan Qi hadn't come here in person, he would have thought that some small fights in the northwest were just border frictions.

If it weren't for the "big mistake" made this time, Gan Qi would not have come, and this Xixia still doesn't know what to be arrogant about.

Li Liangzuo is also smart, just going back and forth in the Great Song Dynasty, leaving after getting a little benefit, and coming again after a while, it is also expected that the Song people will not really fight back.

This time, Gan Qi besieged Longzhou and surrounded Li Liangzuo in Longzhou City, and Li Liangzuo must have been surprised.

There are no siege things, they still have to be built, and there is no shortage of armor craftsmen in the northwest.

Gan Qi looked at the small city in front of him, got angry, and said: "Since you are here this time, you should cut off the arm of the party, from the Jianing Military Division to the east, how many cities are there?" ”

He replied in amazement: "Longzhou, Hongzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou, Shizhou, Yanzhou, Yinzhou, there are seven big cities, about twenty big towns, dozens of forts, and the Tiemenguan fortress in the north to Xingqing Mansion." ”

After answering in amazement, everyone looked at Ganchi.

Gan Qi said with a straight face: "The land of the seven states, take it all, capture the Iron Gate Pass, and then stop!" ”

Everyone was shocked, because Gan Qi's tone was too big, if he captured these places, the party would be really short of an arm, if the iron gate pass was also captured, then the party and Xingqing Mansion would immediately be under the front of the army, to achieve this goal, it would be as difficult as ascending to the sky, and everyone had never even thought about it. As soon as this thing is completed, Western Xia will really become Western Xia, only Xi.

Gan Qi didn't say much, and spoke: "Send someone to call the battle, scold, and use the party's words to scold, and scold Li Liangzuo." ”

I was stunned and immediately looked for someone to do it.

Twenty-year-old Li Liangzuo, who is in power in China, and Yu Da Song, who comes and goes, is the capital of Tianzhong, Gan Qi thinks that he can't really avoid it.

This has nothing to do with personality, but the party members have long since stopped taking the Song people in their eyes, as long as this is the case, when Li Liangzuo really learns the information of the Song army's troops, he will inevitably fight.

Gan Qi put all the soldiers and horses out of the way, and did not hide them, so he asked the party members to investigate well and investigate clearly.

At this time, if Li Liangzuo should not fight, when Ganqi's 50,000 mighty troops arrived on the battlefield, Li Liangzuo would not fight.

There were more than 30,000 people in Ganqi, so he put them out for the party members to see, and even gathered troops to review them, so that the family could count them well, and the number was clear, more than 30,000 people.

People who understand the words of the party have organized dozens of people in Longzhou City, constantly shouting and scolding, scolding the eighteenth generation ancestors of the Li family. The party is a royal family, surnamed Wei, in the past, it was a dog and horse under the command of the Tang Dynasty, and after the meritorious service, the Tang Dynasty gave Wei the name and surname Li, so there was Li Yuanhao. Now the famous Li family has become a big trouble for the Central Plains Dynasty.
