Han Jiang threw away the piece in his hand, and his face sank like water: "Lu Huiqing played a good trick!" ”

"I'm afraid the world won't be chaotic!" Zhang Qi was also angry and hateful.

Everyone knows that Lu Dao Lu Huiqing has already put the bet on the Song and Liao wars, and with his character, it is impossible to wait for the Liao people to attack because of the New Year's coin, but will try to speed up the start of the war as soon as possible, otherwise the time will drag on too long, and there will be changes in the DPRK and China.

After all, the feeling between speculation and fact is different.

In the past, no matter how Lu Huiqing proposed to start a war, and the arguing of the scholars to control the imperial court, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi always had a trace of hesitation and refused to participate in the competition between the two factions of Xinqi. Now seeing that Lu Huiqing finally did something, I can't help but regret that I didn't suppress Lu Huiqing earlier. If he could have reacted earlier, he would have been able to at least move his minions away from the border.

No one doubts whether the incident is a false report in Xiongzhou. On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Liu Shunqing spent three days to verify it, and it is estimated that he also sent someone to inquire about the news in Liao. It must be conclusive and undoubted before it will be reported.

Now that the three leather room soldiers have died at the hands of the official army, what will be the reaction of the Liao people?

"Let's see what Lu Jifu says about this!" Han Gang said.

"Yukun?"

Han Gang's tone was too calm, and Zhang Qi couldn't tell whether Han Gang was angry or simply wanted to listen to Lu Huiqing's explanation.

"Killing the three Liao soldiers, if it is really Liu Shao who can act boldly and recklessly, there is probably Lu Jifu behind him." Han Gang's speech was a little more conservative than Han Jiang and Zhang Qi, "Now we have to see what Lu Jifu plans next." ”

Han Gang also wanted to see what Lu Huiqing would do, whether to break the jar and break it, or to try to remedy it.

Lu Huiqing has just written a letter to herself. And Liu Shunqing delayed for three days to send an urgent report, which may allow Lu Huiqing to receive the news after sending the letter.

However, after Liu Shao can start, he will definitely send someone to inform Lu Huiqing immediately, if he thinks so, it is not unlikely that he will receive the news before sending the letter.

Han Gang couldn't guess what the situation was, and the matter had already happened, so there was no need to rush to deal with Lu Huiqing, he felt that it was better to wait and see.

In his opinion, it is only three lives, Yelu Yixin, who has already become the emperor, will not be able to suppress the changes below, and it will not be suitable to send troops again in the spring after a month or two, without the factor of the New Year's coin, the war between Song and Liao will not start so soon. It also gave Han Gang enough time to explore the cause and find out what Lu Huiqing was thinking.

"That's fine." Zhang Qi nodded, the court does not express its position now, and then there will be room for redemption, so as not to make a determination first, and then the conclusion is the opposite, it is inconvenient to change the position of the court.

In this respect, Han Gang is already a competent bureaucrat.

Zhang Qi didn't expect Han Gang to change his personality, but he was worried in vain.

Han Jiang read the emergency report from Xiongzhou, changed his tone, and said calmly, "The text is well written." ”

"It's Liu Shunqing's own handwriting. Liu Xiyuan reads more books every day, knows the affairs of officials, and is careful about grammar, not an ordinary martial artist. ”

The people recommended by Han Gang are basically practical, and they use hard work as a tool to measure, and his evaluation of the characters is not too outrageous, which has always been confirmed.

Han Jiang nodded and praised: "No wonder Yukun is more important than him." ”

"It's just a matter of making the best use of one's talents...... What to do over there in Xiongzhou? ”

Lu Huiqing returned to Lu Huiqing, and Xiongzhou returned to Xiongzhou. Lu Huiqing's reaction, Han Gang wanted to see, but the problem in Xiongzhou needed to be solved more first.

"I still have to call Liu Shaoneng back first." Han Jiang said, "Yukun, what do you see? ”

Han Gang nodded: "Of course." ”

"What to do with him? Provoke in vain? Zhang Qi asked.

Han Jiang said: "First recruit back to the Jingshi to ask for details, and then arrange a better position for him in the Jingshi to raise him." ”

Returning to Beijing from the local area can be regarded as a promotion even if it is a flat adjustment, so as not to misunderstand the people of the world and deliberately suppress the meritorious heroes. Even if there is still discussion, at least there is room for distraction. And the transfer back of Liu Shaoneng can be regarded as an explanation to the Liao people.

During the normal period of Song and Liao, if there was some discord on the border, most of them would use such means to resolve the contradictions. That is, it was not until Emperor Xizong began to change the law in a targeted manner, and Yelu Yixin took control of the politics of Liao, that he changed his appearance.

"Just do as the minister says." Han Gang said.

In the political hall, Zai and Fu divided labor, and Han Gang's responsibility in the military was a little heavier. Even if it is related to Liao affairs, as long as it is a military matter, most of it is still left to Han Gang to make a decision first, and then Han Jiang and Zhang Qi will express their opinions. However, the personnel arrangement, as long as Han Jiang speaks, Han Gang will basically respect it.

"What should Liu Shunqing do?" Zhang Qi asked.

Liu Shunqing is a well-known general recognized by the DPRK and China. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to go to Shouxiongzhou. However, he can also be regarded as a person from Han Gang, and he can be famous in the government and the opposition because of the merits he has made under Han Gang.

The imperial court transferred Lu Huiqing's people, but let Liu Shunqing continue to stay, and Han Gang will inevitably have some gossip.

"Let Liu Shunqing continue to guard Xiongzhou." Han Gang's attitude was very firm, "The leather room army is different from the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Dao, even if it is a small pawn, it may be able to involve high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the court. Now the Liao side will inevitably want to retaliate, and if Xiongzhou rashly changes generals, it is equivalent to giving them a chance. ”

"The Liao people will still come after all." Zhang Qi said. Until this time, he still didn't know that the matter of the New Year's coin could no longer interfere with the decision-making of the Liao State.

"So it depends on what Lu Jifu does." Han Gang was cold.

After knowing that the old coins could not attract Yelu Yixin, if Lu Huiqing wanted to lure the Liao people south, he would definitely interfere in the defense of Xiongzhou.

Whether he repents or not, it is enough to see what he will do next.

Zhang Qi asked again: "If the Liao people really come to attack, how should they deal with it?" ”

"If the Liao people dare to attack, of course, they will resolutely fight back. If the Liao people come from all over the country, they will set up the Xuanfu Division in Hebei and Hedong to control the Liao. ”

"Doesn't this make Lu Huiqing get her wish?"

Han Gang was confident: "Zhang Zihou has been in the cardinal mansion for a long time, and his achievements are outstanding when he is handsome, if the northern captives come to attack, Xuanfu Hebei and Hedong, and command the soldiers and horses of the two roads, this position is the only one." ”

Han Jiang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. Of course, he knew that Han Gang would never let Lu Huiqing lead the Hebei army, but Han Gang and Zhang Dian had been estranged before, so he didn't expect him to still support Zhang Dian to go to Hebei. But with Wang Anshi here, will Zhang Dian agree to come down? The determination to completely break with Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, does Zhang Dian have it?

It's just that after seeing Han Gang's expression, Zhang Dian had a hint of realization in his heart, if Han Gang and Zhang Dian had not reached a tacit understanding, he would never rashly advocate letting Zhang Dian pease the two ways.

Wang Anshi supported Lu Huiqing back then and made Zeng Bu defect from the New Party, but now because of his support for Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian also has a different heart, and the people rebel and leave, how many days can the world of the New Party support?

Han Jiang and Zhang Qi secretly sighed to themselves, but they did not oppose Han Gang's suggestion. used to be able to sit and watch Wang Anshi and Han Gang Weng's son-in-law fight in the ring, but now that the picture is poor, there is no room for the two of them to watch the play offstage. In this matter, they either support Han Gang or Wang Anshi, but no matter who they support, it means that there will be a new colleague in the political hall in the near future.

Han Jiang has long partnered with Lu Huiqing in the political affairs hall, and Zhang Qi is not unaware of Lu Huiqing's personality, compared to Lu Huiqing, who began to implement the practical method as soon as he served as the governor of the government, and at the same time squeezed Han Jiang to the point where he had nowhere to stand, Zhang Dian is still a little stronger.

They didn't expect Zhang Gang to be like Han Gang - Han Gang was interested in qi science, and he had no intention of fighting for power in other aspects except for a position related to the development of qi science - but as long as he was stronger than Lu Huiqing.

"What about Lu Jifu?" Zhang Qi asked.

Han Gang recommended Zhang Dian to be the coach, and Zhang Qi wanted to know Lu Dao, how did he plan to deal with Lu Huiqing?

"It can be Zhang Zihou's deputy, and he will be assigned the duty of transfer."

Han Jiang and Zhang Qi were all dumbfounded, did Han Gang want Lu Huiqing to resign by himself?

It took a short time for the three Zaifu in the political hall to decide on the next strategy against Liao.

If it weren't for the fact that it was involved in the political turmoil in the country, this decision would have been made earlier.

Now they still plan to wait for the Liao army to attack first, and then respond. If the Liao people are bleeding under the fortified city, Wang Shi will take advantage of the situation to go north, and he can easily take Youyan's hometown.

This is the best result for the Song people.

The decision of the political hall on the Liao strategy will not be made public for the time being, and it will wait until the Liao army does attack the border pass before reporting to the empress dowager and making the appointment of the imperial court public.

Han Gang needed time to observe Lü Huiqing's actions, and Han Jiang and Zhang Qi did not want to set up the Xuanfu Division to promote Zhang Dian to the throne before the Liao people began to attack with the strength of the whole country.

But as a party concerned, it is impossible for Zhang Dian not to hear the voices of the deliberations in the political hall.

The Privy Council was given a copy of the Xiongzhou Bulletin almost at the same time. But as for the discussion of how to deal with the Liao army's invasion, they can only be limited to the military field. Even Liu Shaoneng's appointment, because the West Court of the Inquisitor belongs to the Political Affairs Hall, is unable to directly intervene, and can only be arranged through discussion with the Political Affairs Hall.

Of course, Zhang Dian wanted to have more authority, so after hearing the results agreed by the political affairs hall, his mood inevitably fluctuated. Han Gang only vaguely mentioned it before, and it didn't even have a clear promise, which couldn't compare to the almost certain facts now.

If he can successfully resist the Liao army during his tenure as Xuanfu envoy, he will definitely be promoted to prime minister when he returns. No, in fact, citing Han Jiang's precedent, he also served as the Xuanfu of the two roads at the same time, commanding the forbidden army of the two roads in the north, and it was impossible not to give Zhang Dian the title of prime minister.

The title of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Shumen, as long as he takes over the post of Xuanfu in Hedong, Hebei, he will definitely wear it on his head immediately, and this is a real prime minister.

For the first time this year, Zhang Dian eagerly awaited the arrival of the Liao army.
