[I didn't expect to be so busy after the new year, I was able to code out a chapter in the morning in January, and now it's almost time to get off work.] Today's second update, ask for red tickets, collect. 】

The news that Guo Kui was coming spread all over Qinzhou and outside within half a day.

For Guo Kui's arrival, the people's reaction was very positive. After all, he is a well-known general, and having him to guard Qinzhou will make people feel a lot more at ease, at least this autumn, the party members should not be able to make a big mess.

Han Qianliu gossiped with his son at dinner, and happily mentioned the news that Guo Kui was coming, "Third brother, is Taiwei Guo coming to Qinzhou?" It is said that he sees people very accurately and knows things like a god. With him, Qinzhou will be stable. ”

"Mrs. Guo, his brother Guo patrolled, and the third brother and his grandfather saw it with his own eyes. Riding a Hexi horse more than five feet high, the two iron slips in his hands weighed more than ten pounds. "Han Ah Li was born in a martial arts family, and the old things in the army are clearer than Han Gang.

"When Li Yuanhao attacked Yanzhou, the third brother's grandfather rushed to the rescue with the army, and on the way, he happened to see Guo Inspector and Captain Liu also rushing to Yanzhou. However, Mrs. Liu and the others walked too fast, and they dared to walk at night, and they had an accident at Sanchuankou after the last day. The third brother's grandfather is also lucky, more than 1,000 of them have already traveled 100 miles overnight, and they have no strength to walk at the least. Taiwei Liu didn't look at it, and he didn't wrap them together, otherwise he would have to fold them in Sanchuankou. ”

"Guo Zun is indeed a pity." Han Gang drank the soup and commented very casually.

Guo Kui's eldest brother Guo Zun was a famous fierce general in the army, a veritable enemy of 10,000 people, but he followed Liu Ping to die in Sanchuankou. It is said that in the last battle, Guo Zun held an iron slip and killed three in and three out of the Western Thief Formation, and smashed the Tianling cover of hundreds of party members, but he was outnumbered, and the most rear-end mount was tripped and died in battle.

"Captain Guo is better than his brother. Guo Taiwei has been a minister, but Guo Patrol is just a ...... Bolt...... Horse, third brother, horse or something? ”

"The courage of the horseman?"

"That's right, it's the courage of a horseman! There is no comparison with Mrs. Guo. ”

The mood of Han Gang's parents represents the thoughts of most of the people. And the reaction in officialdom is a bit varied. Li Shizhong, who was waiting for Guo Kui to hand over, gloated, ordinary officials watched the fire from the other side, and Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu were so excited that they jumped to their feet.

During the day, when he heard that Guo Kui was coming, Gao Zunyu was angry: "Guo Kui is really coming, do we still have a place to stand, see how he is squeezing the five seeds in Yanyan?!" ”

Wang Shao's eyebrows tightened: "Even if the Son of Heaven can't see this layer, Wang Xianggong should always be able to figure it out, how can Guo Kui come to Qinzhou?!" ”

Guo Kui is not Li Shizhong, Dou Shunqing, Xiang Baona and other goods, Li, Dou, and Xiang together are not as good as him. Guo Kui was the one who signed the Privy Council, and he was a real ruler, and now he is the only one in the million army of the Great Song Dynasty who has this qualification, and his status is firmly in the first place. If he wants to make some mess for Wang Shao, then he really doesn't want to do anything.

"Guo Zhongtong is the Xiongwu Army, and the Jiedu army in Qinzhou is the Xiongwu Army, speaking of which, Qinzhou is his town. Did the Son of Heaven transfer him when he saw this? ”

"Yukun! It's all this time, and you're still talking about cool things?! Wang Shao was so angry that he almost slapped the table.

Han Gang smiled apologetically, he didn't expect Wang Shao to be so restless that he didn't even want to listen to a cold joke now. In his opinion, transferring Guo Kui to Qinzhou will definitely not be the mistake of the Son of Heaven, and it will never be just to stabilize the Qinzhou army, Wang Anshi must have deeper considerations.

Wang Anshi's own political acumen is not to mention, several assistants around him are all understanding people, and none of them are bad, how could he not think of the consequences of Guo Kui's coming to Qinzhou. Since Wang Anshi has considered the variables that Guo Kui will cause in Qinzhou, and insists on transferring him, it means that in the eyes of Wang Anshi and them, they have more important interests than Hehuang Kaibian.

"It's probably going to be a big move in Yokoyama." Han Gang said it very seriously this time.

I remembered the tense relationship between Guo Kui and Chong Ge that I heard from Chong Jianzhong when I went to the capital at the beginning of the year, as well as the fact that Guo Kui used Yanda and abandoned Chong Ge during the previous Suide victory. "Obviously, someone thinks that Guo Kui is a bit of an eyesore in Yan Yan and wants to kick him away."

After listening to Han Gang's analysis, Wang Shao finally calmed down, "Yukun, the person you said is Han Jiang, right?" ”

Gao Zunyu was still depressed in his heart, "Where can't Guo Kui be put?" It's better to transfer anywhere than to Qinzhou. ”

"Who let Qinzhou happen to have an accident, and a heavy minister is needed to guard it." Wang Shao sighed helplessly, "How can you not fill the vacancy." ”

Gao Zunyu was depressed, chatted a few words, and went home directly to rest.

As soon as Gao Zunyu left, Wang Shao asked Han Gang, "Yukun, what are your ideas?" ”

"Xia Guan thinks it's better to think about the benefits first, but you can also complain a few more words in the letter to Wang Xianggong. With the character of Wang Xianggong, he should be able to compensate a little. "Some things are not easy to say in front of Gao Zunyu, it doesn't matter if you say them in private, just like the correspondence between Wang Shao and Wang Anshi, in fact, the imperial court has a rule that border ministers are not allowed to contact Zai Fu in private.

'What's the idea?!' Wang Shao always felt that Han Gang didn't take Guo Kui's matter to heart.

"What compensation can I get?! The reward for Gu Wei's victory will not be enough, how can we talk about compensation? He said smutteredly.

The time of the two great victories was too close, and it was impossible for either Wang Shao or Han Gang to be promoted by a few levels in just two months. The reward received at the end of the year must be discounted, and most of them are rewards such as wealth and silk, or gifts to parents, in lieu of official promotions.

But crying children have milk to eat. You don't bark twice, and who knows that your tail has been stepped on?

Han Gang still insisted on his opinion, "Xia Guan thinks it is better to write two more letters to Wang Xianggong, and when he goes back, Xia Guan will also send a letter to Zhang Zihou." The money and grain for the construction of Weiyuan Fort, the principal of Shiyi and Tuntian, and the proposal of Gu Wei to build an army were all mentioned. Even if we ask for a sky-high price, they can pay back there. This loss cannot be eaten in vain. ”

Han Gang said very easily, he still has an optimistic attitude. Guo Kui is a veteran general who has been in power, and his reputation is famous at home and abroad, which is indeed a fact. But Han Qi and Fu Bi, which one is not better, not all of them have left the capital. If Guo Kui really dared to frustrate Hehuang Kaibian, would the Son of Heaven and Wang Anshi let him go?

What's more, if you want to evaluate a person, you have to observe his words and deeds, Guo Kui has not come to Qinzhou yet, how can he rashly draw conclusions. Greet Guo Kui with the intention of confrontation, maybe the relationship that could have been done well will become bad.

…………………………

"Guo Kui promised to go to Qinzhou."

Zhao Ji put down the book in his hand and said to Wang Anshi. Guo Kui accepted the new appointment, handed over the Zhang, and agreed to go to Qinzhou, but gave up the post of governor of Yanzhou.

Of course, Zhao Ji didn't think Guo Kui dared to refuse. If the civil officials don't want to do something, they can directly push it off, but the military ministers can't, the only thing they can resign from is to be promoted and rewarded.

"Wang Qing, after Guo Kui arrives in Qinzhou, do you want to tell him a few words and let him take care of Wang Shao more?"

"According to the minister's opinion, it is better to let Guo Kui guard Qinzhou, and let Wang Shao handle the matter of Hehuang alone. One more thing, with Guo Kui's temperament, he may have to quarrel with Wang Shao. ”

Zhao Ji sighed, his frowning brows were full of exhaustion: "Of the several handsome ministers in Kansai, only Cai Ting is worry-free. ”

"Cai Ting eliminated the old evils in Weizhou, set new rules, and built the weakest military in the four roads in Guanxi into a solid one. With him guarding Jingyuan, the flanks of Yanyan Road can rest assured. ”

Cai Ting's implementation of the art of war in Weizhou changed the shortcomings of the Song army's past system of size and difficulty in commanding, and it was very appetizing to Wang Anshi. In Wang Anshi's plan, when the imperial court has sufficient money and food, it can start to reform the military system, and the three laws and regulations related to the military system, namely the art of war, the law of protecting armor, and the law of protecting horses, have already entered the preparatory stage.

"Guo Kuizhicai is not under Cai Ting, and his reputation is particularly high, but there are many things. If it weren't for his disagreement with Han Jiang, there would be no need to transfer him to Qinzhou. Zhao Ji sighed again, "I just hope that he can compete with Wang Shao as Wang Qing said, instead of tearing each other down." ”

Wang Anshi knew that with Guo Kui's monopolistic personality and status as the former ruler and the queen of Jiedu, he went to Qinzhou, and it was very likely that he would conflict with Wang Shao's leadership of the Hehuang Kaibian.

But the three highest-ranking people in the Qinzhou army all left at once. In order to stabilize the morale of the Qinzhou army, except for Guo Kui, he and Zhao Ji couldn't find a better candidate for a while, even if Jingyuan Lu Jingluo appeased Cai Ting was not qualified, and Han Jin, who they were originally preparing to replace Dou Shunqing, a transitional figure, half a year later, was far from enough.

In addition, Guo Kui is different from Li Shizhong and Dou Shunqing, he is fully advocating the strategy of opening the border, even if he and Wang Shao fight, it will not delay the business - the above are the reasons why Wang Anshi told Zhao Ji.

In fact, Wang Anshi is just the lesser of two evils. Although Qinzhou continued to pass on good news, Hehuang's status as a partial division has not changed, and Hengshan's strategic position is much higher than Hehuang's.

Guo Kui was the pacification envoy of the Yanyan Road at the beginning, and competed with the seed to the throne, and almost squeezed the seed to the point that he could not gain a foothold in the Yan Road. Now Han Jiang is the Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy, and he reuses Chongfu as the main commander, which makes Guo Kui very dissatisfied. In order not to let Guo Kui interfere with the strategic planning presided over by Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, he must be transferred. But he can't be transferred out of Kansai, Guo Kui's own qualifications, ability and prestige are like a needle in the army, in case Han Jiang has a chance there, with him, at least he can stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.

And the place that Wang Anshi chose for Guo Kui was Qinzhou, which happened to need important ministers to guard. However, in order to let Wang Shao do things with peace of mind and not put Guo Kui too badly, Zhang Dian helped make a move.

Wang Anshi said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty." The merits of Gu Wei's great victory have been checked by Wang Zhongzheng, and they are all true and not false. It can be seen that Wang Shao's talent is not just a mediocre opportunity. A few months ago, Wang Shao had written a letter asking Yu to ascend to Guwei as an army, so as to unify military power and administrative power, and more justifiably recruit people to join the imperial court......"

The previous time Zhang Shou made an appointment to enter the Hajj, he also had the same request, but Zhao Ji was still a little hesitant, "Isn't it a bit hasty to build an army directly in Guwei." ”

"Then first set aside a piece of land around Guwei Village, set up a pacification envoy on the border of Qin Fengyuan, and Wang Shao served as the pacification envoy, and first gave him the name of acting military administration in the western part of Qinzhou. After a year and a half, after a little success, it is not too late to promote Gu Wei to the army. ”
