After a little contemplation, Zhang Bin wrote two letters.

"Han Hu, give this letter to my mother, and this letter to my father, don't make a mistake." Zhang Bin knew that Han Hu was illiterate, so he deliberately distinguished the surface of the two letters.

"Don't worry, the villain has written it down, and he will never be mistaken." Han Hu is only in his thirties, and the reason why he was able to be regarded as a retired veteran by Liu Changzuo and given to Zhang Bin as a guard along with seven other veterans is because Han Hu's left ear was smashed by an arrow on the battlefield, and he was barely injured, but his physical fitness and killing skills were not affected.

And let Han Hu send the letter, naturally because he is young and has good physical strength, this time he sent the letter back and forth, but he was running around quickly, which was very wasteful.

Zhang Bin nodded, and then ordered: "Go to Zhu Niang and take thirty yuan as a plate, set off now, go early and return early." ”

Han Hu agreed, saluted Zhang Bin respectfully, carefully put the letter in the inner pocket of his arms, and strode away.

………

The second letter was sent by Liu Changzuo of Dashun City, and it mainly said one thing.

Han Jiang's plot against the Black Luo Department was generally very smooth, but there was a little mistake.

According to Zhang Bin's advice, Han Jiang took advantage of the torrents in the rainy season to destroy the mountain city of the Heiluo Division, and now the Heiluo Department has been coerced and lured by Han Jiang to move the Ju clan to Huanqing Road, and settled down in an abandoned military village.

It's just that there are secret spies from the secret spy department of the Western Xia Kingdom in the Heiluo Department, who rushed to escape with his life and told the Western Xia Kingdom about the affairs of Heiluo City.

The result was naturally a bad dish, and the Song State had not yet built a new mountain city on the Meridian Road, and the army of the Western Xia Kingdom had already arrived.

Fortunately, Han Jiang sent Wang Sunchen to lead people to monitor the direction of the meridian road near the Western Xia every day, and found out in advance that the Western Xia army was dispatched, and before the Western Xia army destroyed the mountain city under construction, Liu Changzuo led the 15,000 defenders of Dashun City to stop the Western Xia army.

But seeing a big war between the two countries in Song and Xia, or even a full-scale war, it is inevitable.

No way, the meridian path is too important for both countries.

If the mountain city was built before the Western Xia Kingdom knew about the affairs of the Black Luo Division, the Western Thief would naturally only be able to beat his chest, but now that the Western Thief is expected to prevent the Song Kingdom from completely controlling the Meridian Dao, he will never retreat.

"Liu Changzuo's messengers have arrived, and the urgent report of Dashun City may have been sent to the Son of Heaven, and for the Great Song Dynasty, the Meridian Dao cannot be lost, and this war is inevitable."

"In the last war, there was not much grain and grass left in the three roads in the northwest, and the imperial court gave the officers and soldiers of Dashun City post-war rewards and the money and grain for the soldiers who died in the war have made the three divisions financially tight, and the scale of this war will only be larger than the last time, and the required money and grain will be difficult for the imperial court to come up with, even if it is reluctant to embezzle the food and grass of the army in other places, it will not delay much time."

"Han Jiang's side has this loophole, although it is not beneficial to the country, but it is a good time to abolish the equalization law and implement the bidding law."

Zhang Bin's mind was racing, but he had a bold plan.

………

………

Han Jiang turned the Black Luo Department into the second Zhe clan quietly, and he was able to completely control the Meridian Dao, and the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji was originally extremely happy, because if this matter was successfully completed, there would be two major benefits.

First, it has an obvious strategic advantage over the Western Thieves, and in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will take the initiative in the face of the Western Xia Kingdom for the first time.

The second is that Han Jiang has this great achievement, coupled with the previous victory in Dashun City, the Son of Heaven has every reason to transfer Han Jiang back to the center, and Wang Anshi and Han Jiang will join forces to fight the old party led by Han Qi, and then find a suitable opportunity to get Han Qi, the old horseman, out of the center, so as not to be an eyesore.

But the urgent report received today made Zhao Ji's good mood disappear all of a sudden, and the whole person became nervous.

Because the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia had already started a great battle for the ownership of the Meridian Road, Han Jiang's request to mobilize soldiers and horses from the Northwest Three Routes and an urgent report of urgent need for a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance had been sent.

"Your Majesty, Han Jiang has opened a provocation in vain, and now the western thieves have poured out, putting my Great Song into this crisis, and the minister thinks that Han Jiang should be questioned." Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang are old rivals, and Han Jiang was kicked out of the center two years ago and went to the northwest, which is Wen Yanbo's means.

A few days ago, Da Shuncheng won a big victory, and Wen Yanbo was also mixed, happy that the Great Song Dynasty had fought a rare victory after all, and worried that Han Jiang would make another great contribution, and the two combined merits could return to the center. At this time, when he heard that Han Jiang had plotted against the Black Luo Department and Ziwu to reveal a loophole, he was still bittersweet.

It's just that as soon as Wen Yanbo said this, the corner of his eye noticed that Han Qi's brows were frowning, Sima Guang's face showed sarcasm, and Wang Anshi was even more annoyed, even Lu Gongbi, who was close to him, frowned, and suddenly sighed in his heart, only to react that he was wrong in what he said, or that this was not the time to impeach Han Jiang.

Compared with other prime ministers, Wang Anshi is one of the joyful ones, he directly gritted his teeth and said: "Wen Yanbo, now that the western thieves are pouring out, the meridian road is very important, my Great Song Dynasty will never abandon it, the most important thing at the moment is to immediately give Han Jiang the power to mobilize all the armies of the three roads in the northwest, and in addition, to discuss the matter of raising grain, grass and ordnance." ”

Wen Yanbo still wanted to quibble, Zhao Ji said directly: "What's more, Han Jiang has already migrated the Heiluo Department in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty and become the second Fold clan of my Great Song Dynasty, which is already a great achievement. ”

The Son of Heaven made a very strong decision, Wen Yanbo secretly scolded himself in his heart for being confused just now, and he didn't speak, and retreated directly into the class, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see the slightest thought on his face.

Zhao Ji was also very surprised to see that Wen Yanbo did not refute and argue with him as before, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Of course, he is also secretly happy in his heart, and he is usually scolded by a few important ministers when he has nothing to do, which makes him very depressed.

"I will issue an order now, giving Han Qi full authority to command the army of the Northwest Third Road, and the Government Hall and the Privy Council will immediately issue relevant documents. Eight hundred miles with my will, it will be sent to Dashun City in an expedited manner. Zhao Ji gave his will directly.

Han Qi and Lu Gongbi went out at the same time and said, "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will. ”

After speaking, the two arranged their respective subordinate officials on the spot, and two officials from the courtiers left in a hurry.

"Wu Aiqing, it has only been more than two months since the last invasion of the Western Thieves, Han Jiang said that the grain and grass on the three roads in the northwest can last for half a month at most, and I am afraid that the time of this war is not short, Aiqing immediately raised the grain and grass for the 100,000 army for three months, and sent it to Dashun City as soon as possible." Zhao Ji turned his head and instructed Wu Chong, who was in charge of the finances of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the third envoy.

Wu Chong smiled bitterly, bowed out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass here of the three divisions are not much left except for the normal use of the 100,000 forbidden troops inside and outside the capital, and the minister has just estimated that the maximum amount of 100,000 troops will be used for field battles for half a month." ”
