More than 600 years ago, Xie An commanded the Eastern Jin Dynasty army and defeated the Former Qin, who had just unified the north and had absolute superiority, in the Battle of Weishui. The pen "Qu" Pavilion www.biquge.info this battle caused the former Qin regime of the Di nationality that had just unified the north to fall apart, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty took advantage of this northern expedition to advance the border line to the vicinity of the Yellow River, and made the Eastern Jin Dynasty have no foreign invasion in the following decades, so that the Han people can be safe. Fan Zhongyan compared Fu Bi to Xie An, and naturally hoped that he could defeat the alien race.

Fu Bi listened to Fan Zhongyan and said, "Although Yanguo doesn't dare to compare with Gong Xie, he is also looking forward to being able to break through Helan Mountain!" ”

Fan Zhongyan said with some regret: "Originally, last year was a good time to plot against the western thief, but it is a pity that those mediocre people in the DPRK and China sit back and watch such a good opportunity lose in vain, which is really embarrassing!" ”

Last year, the Second Battle of Helan Mountain broke out in Liaoxia. After Li Yuanhao's death the year before last, his youngest son Li Liangzuo, who was less than one year old, succeeded to the throne with the support of the Minister of State. Last year, Emperor Yelu Zong of Liao took advantage of the suspicion of the lord of Western Xia, Shaoguo, and personally led the three-way army to conquer Western Xia. Although the Southern Route Army of the Liao State was defeated by Western Xia snipers. However, the Northern Route Army broke through to the vicinity of Helan Mountain, and defeated the elite cavalry led by the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, and pursued Wuzang Pang to Liangzhou. Although Wuzang escaped from Pang, the Liao army captured hundreds of the Empress Dowager and the families of the bureaucrats, obtained a large number of livestock and returned, and the vitality of Western Xia was greatly damaged. And without the Queen Mother, the Minister of State did not hide the False Pang's control over Western Xia.

Last year, Fan Zhongyan repeatedly went to the official's house, stating that the fighter plane to send troops to Western Xia had arrived. However, Xia Zhu and others, who were in power in the central government, were reluctant to steal peace and did not want to start the war again, and strongly advocated that they could not "celebrate the peace of the calendar" and resolutely prevent the Great Song Dynasty from sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty, which made Fan Zhongyan choked.

Fu Bi also sighed: "Alas, yes, it's a pity that there is such a good opportunity." However, dealing with the thieves is not an overnight thing, and if you do it slowly, there will still be opportunities in the future. The lord of the Western Thief country is young, and the prime minister has not hidden the dictatorship of Pang, and the monarch and the minister will definitely be incompatible in the future, and sooner or later there will be changes! ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "It's a pity, I can't wait for that day for my brother!" In the future, the Pingxi thief will depend on Yanguo, you wait! "Li Liangzuo, the lord of the Xia country, is only more than two years old now, and when he grows up and knows how to take power, I am afraid it will be more than ten years later.

Fu Bi said: "Brother Xiwen must not say so, take care of your body, and in the future, we will work together to give the Great Song a new look!" ”

Fan Zhongyan glanced at Zhong Hao and Fu Bi, paused, and considered it for a while, according to the minister, there are some things that he will never say with his pure and upright nature. But he has no outsiders today, and some words are not unhappy, so he sighed and said: "Alas, the official family is now in the twilight, and it seems that he just wants to be safe and stable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the courage to break the old and establish the new!" ”

Fu Bi saw that Fan Zhongyan, who had always been resolute, was a little depressed today, and couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Xiwen can't lose his fighting spirit, today's official family is only deceived by Xia Zhu's gang, so it will be like this." In the future, when I enter the court, I will expose the corruption of the Great Song Dynasty and let the officials see it, and he will definitely strengthen his will to reform! ”

Fan Zhongyan didn't seem to want to say more on the topic of today's official family, but said: "I hope!" And no more!

Fu Bi then said: "Brother Xiwen doesn't know, Wen Xuan has found two high-yield grain crops, even the most barren land can yield five stones per mu. When the younger brother arrives in Hedong and vigorously promotes, it will definitely be a big harvest of grain in Hedong. At that time, in the Hengshan area, the Hengshan Shengqiang and Tibetan departments will be recruited with grain and land, and the miraculous effect will be seen. As for the timing of Pingxia, as long as you look patiently, there will always be a chance. As long as we are sure, provocation is not necessarily inevitable. "When Zhong Hao was recommended last time, because I didn't know whether the potatoes and sweet potatoes were really high-yielding, Yi Fubi did not mention it in the letter for the time being. Today, seeing that Fan Zhongyan, who has always been resolute, was a little depressed, he brought up this matter to lift his spirits.

Fan Zhongyan listened to Fu Bi's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Is there really a dry field grain crop with a yield of five stones per mu?" "Even if the Great Song Dynasty carefully manages the best paddy fields, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve a yield of five stones per mu. Fan Zhongyan knew that Fu Bi was a stable person, and he said that there were dry field crops with a yield of five stones per mu, which should not be fake, but he couldn't help but ask again, because this matter was too unbelievable.

Fu Bi laughed and said: "If there really is, does the little brother dare to talk to Brother Xiwen!" These two crops, if it is good land, will yield ten stones per mu. The little brother of the potato was seen by himself, and the yield per mu was ten stones. This sweet potato Wenxuan said that it would not be harvested until the end of the month, and Brother Xiwen could go and check it out in person! ”

"If this is the case, it will be the blessing of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will also be the blessing of the community! Fan Zhongyan said with great joy, said, and turned his head to ask Fu Bidao: "Wen Xuan went to Hedong with you Yanguo?" ”

Fu Bi said: "The junior brother plans to let Wen Xuan serve as the official in charge of the pacification envoy, and the strategy of Pingxia depends on him to take more details." But he still has to stay in Qingzhou for a while, wait for the potato harvest, bring the seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then go to Hedong! ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled: "That's good, that's good, it means that Wenxuan and I can get together for another month!" Saying that, he turned his head to Zhong Hao and said: "Wenxuan, these days, you can come to the state government if you have nothing to do, let's discuss some matters in Pingxia with each other, of course, you can also talk about poetry and politics!" Fan Zhongyan admired Zhong Hao very much and was very interested in being able to guide this young man.

Zhong Hao hurriedly said: "The student is only a shallow learner, how dare you say what to discuss with Fan Gong, and ask Fan Gong for more guidance!" ”

Fu Bi was transferred to the governor of the state and concurrently served as the pacification envoy of Hedong Jingluo, and Zhong Hao only learned about it in the past few days. Fu Bi wanted Zhong Hao to go to Hedong with him and be his official to pacify the envoys, and he also attached great importance to Zhong Hao and had the intention of promoting.

Originally, Zhong Hao was reluctant to go to Hedong. The land east of the river is very close to the Western Xia and Khitan, how can it be safe and comfortable in Qingzhou. Besides, he is also an official now, and he still has a lot of income in Qingzhou, and he enjoys it very much, but he really doesn't want to go to Hedong.

However, Fu Ruolan wanted to go to Hedong with Fu Bi, and Zhong Hao could only grit his teeth and follow for the sake of a beautiful woman.

Zhong Hao originally planned to wait for Fu Bi to see that the sweet potato yield was really very high, and then proposed to ask for marriage, but Fu Bi was going to Hedong Road, and he definitely failed to see the sweet potato harvest, Zhong Hao himself did not mention the matter of asking for marriage now, and he would have no chance in the future.

Taking advantage of Fu Bi's mention of sweet potatoes today, Zhong Hao felt that he should talk about the matter of courtship. At that moment, Zhong Hao opened his mouth and said: "Fu Xianggong once promised, saying that as long as the high yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is verified, he will promise the students one thing, can the students say what they asked for today?" ”

Fu Bi looked at Zhong Hao with a smile and said, "What does Wen Xuan want to ask for?" But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Zhong Hao is a little ** silk, and he wants to marry the daughter of a father-in-law, but he really feels a little weak-hearted. At that moment, Zhong Hao encouraged himself in his heart, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said loudly: "The student wants to marry Miss Ruolan of the Xianggong family, and he asks the Xianggong to agree!"
