[Something happened last night, and I couldn't update it. Sorry. 】

Show one’s true colors in the end.

Han Gang went around and finally came back.

Steady and steady, slow attack Xingling. Hangang's pre-war proposal was put back on the table after the defeat. And what kind of evaluation will you get on the outside for yourself who once rejected this suggestion?

The emotions brewing in Zhao Ji's heart, remorse, anger, and shame were mixed together, boiling little by little.

On the empty Chongzheng Palace, the young courtiers who insisted on their own opinions lowered their eyes and put on a humble posture, but basins of cold water were poured up.

"I don't know if Han Qing has a specific strategy in mind?" Zhao Ji endured his anger for a moment and asked Han Gang for advice.

"The specific strategy should consult the opinions of the leading generals." The strategy can be discussed in the court, but the specific strategy and tactics have to be dealt with by the elite generals, "However, in the humble opinion of the ministers, it is best to temporarily shrink the strength of the Yan army back and keep the first line of Xiazhou and Yinzhou." The Hedong Army also temporarily retreated to the Mida Cave. ”

"All the other armies have given up? Yanzhou and Youzhou are already in the hands of the official army. Wang Qi immediately objected, "Do you know how much of the Qingbai Pond salt in Yanzhou is used in the Western Xia Kingdom?" How much is made through rebate? How can you return it to the thief. ”

"Just destroy it before returning it, go ask the old salt workers and see what tricks they have." Han Gang replied,

"What about Youzhou? Is so much land going to be sent back? Wang Qi asked.

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, I'll be able to take it back. With a foothold, the Western Thieves have been able to send troops over continuously, but now that there are many major battles, the local grain stocks have long been exhausted, and if the Western Thieves come to attack, whether they can cross the Hanhai Sea is not to mention, even in the land of Silver Summer, there is no food to supply. The thieves can only try to solve the problem quickly. However, the official army held the city steadily, and the end of the quick battle of the western thieves would be the result of the reversal of the battle of Lingzhou. ”

When Wang Qi saw Zhao Ji's thoughtful expression, he knew that things were not good. If Yinxia is kept according to Han Gang's strategy, his position as prime minister will be problematic.

The Son of Heaven has only one wish, to destroy the two captives, whoever can help him do it, he will support whoever - as for whether he will cross the river and tear down the bridge, that is a matter of the future - in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the Son of Heaven once obeyed Wang Anshi's words, and now that Lingzhou is defeated, as long as he can recover the current decline, he will still listen to Han Gang's opinion after all.

"What about Hedong?" Wang Jue finally found an excuse, which he would never have done before.

"Yanmen Pass is not so easy to break. Especially when the officers and troops have already raised their alert. Han Gang replied, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so relieved to let Li Xian lead the troops to participate in the attack and take Western Xia." ”

Zhao Ji finally convinced, his goal was to destroy Western Xia. Although Han Gang's strategy was slow, it still went in that direction after all, "According to Han Qing's words." ”

Han Gang was relieved, and finally controlled the battle situation after the most difficult situation. In this way, at least you can help the planters, otherwise after weighing the trade-offs, they will order to withdraw from the army, and the planters will never have no chance again in their lives.

Although he offended the Son of Heaven for this, when he succeeded, this resentment could be easily resolved.

……………………

Since the early days of the previous day, the courtiers have been privately discussing how the Son of Heaven will react to the defeat of Lingzhou. Is it to retreat or to continue?

There are all sorts of speculations about this. Some people think that the Son of Heaven will choose to persevere to the end and continue to fight; But some people also think that when the Khitans are eyeing each other, they can continue to win and lose, and if they lose, they can only withdraw their troops. And at the end of the day, the news that came out of the two prefectures and the academy was reasonable, and a few people expected it.

But some people still sighed, "After all, Han Gang won." ”

It was indeed Han Gang who won.

Taking advantage of the defeat in Lingzhou, Han Gang once again asserted his authority over the war in the northwest. For issues related to the war situation in the northwest, the current court can only consult Han Gang.

Pu Zongmeng was well aware of Han Gang's authority in the Northwest War, but when he heard how Han Gang spoke to the Son of Heaven in the Chongzheng Palace, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Han Gang I was smart, but occasionally confused but could kill him. As long as he pushes it or misses a few sparks, it can make Han Gang collapse.

Pu Zongmeng was writing an edict in the Chongzheng Palace today, but one of them happened to be addressed to Guo Kui in Hebei. He was an impatient, so he made a casual addition, praising him for his foresight, anticipating that the enemy was like a candle shining on a turtle, and the army and the people served together.

Guo Kui and Han Gang were talking about the inappropriate rush to attack Lingzhou, and Pu Zongmeng specially pointed this out, of course, not to say good things about Guo Kui.

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was originally intended for Pei Gong.

Of course, this is said very vaguely, and it is impossible to see it without a fixed opinion. But it is enough to set a nail in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and then step by step in the future. No matter what his ability is, he offended the Son of Heaven and made the emperor feel guilty, and no matter how high his talent was, he couldn't stay in the court. Han Gang just thinks too highly of himself, otherwise, he wouldn't have simply let the Son of Heaven get off the stage.

Pu Zongmeng sent several drafted edicts to the emperor, waiting for the judgment of the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Ji flipped through the words that Pu Zongmeng had just written, and suddenly stopped, and he didn't move for a long time.

Pu Zongmeng didn't get the reaction he wanted, it stands to reason that it is normal to sign after a little reading, and his own selfishness should not be visible at this time. Hesitant, he peeked in, but he was facing a pair of cold eyes.

Zhao Ji's eyes from top to bottom seemed to be the cold ice of the Extreme North, and the words squeezed out of his mouth were even colder like cold currents, "Do I look so much like Yuan Shao?" ”

Pu Zongmeng opened his mouth, he couldn't figure it out, the whole thing was somehow involved with Yuan Shao? Did the Son of Heaven understand his intentions through the back of the paper?

A cold sweat came out of the Chongzheng Palace. Stepping out of the temple gate, the sun shone brightly, and he was dizzy, and his legs trembled as if he had malaria. He was confused and uneasy, and he was even more confused, what did the Son of Heaven do with Yuan Shao? It's not a case where the sons are vying for the throne and want to have a young son!

Don't...... Pu Zongmeng's thought flashed, and his heart suddenly palpitated. Stepping into the academy, he barely managed to get his expression back to normal. As if nothing had happened, he casually summoned a small official and ordered: "Go find a copy of the "Three Kingdoms". ”

There are many books in the academy, and when the scholars of the Hanlin Academy wrote their edicts, they often had to check whether the allusions were used correctly or falsely. It didn't take long for more than 60 volumes of "Three Kingdoms" to be moved.

The history books of the Guozijian edition are all sold outside, whether they are stereotyped, printed, paper, or binding, they are all first-class, and the quality is far better than the editions of the Tokyo and Hangzhou printing houses, not to mention the Fujian edition, which is known for its shoddy production. Which reader buys it back and doesn't treasure it carefully? When reading, I handle it with care, lest I damage the page.

But after Pu Zongmeng waved away the little clerk who was moving the books, he picked up the books from a pile of books and flipped through them quickly, looking for his target, not caring whether the books would be damaged under the rough movements.

found out "The Biography of Yuan Shao" from "Wei Zhi", Pu Zongmeng hadn't turned two pages, and the most bloody face had retreated, and it was really this one! A book fell from his hand, the pages stretched, and a few lines of text were exposed to the sun—the Shao army was defeated, or Feng said: "The king will see the weight." Feng said: "If the army is advantageous, I will be complete, and now the army is defeated, and I will die." "Shao Huan, said left and right: 'I don't need Tian Fengyan, I will be laughed at.'" Kill him.

Pu Zongmeng sat in a daze for a long time, and woke up suddenly when he heard the sound in the courtyard. However, he still had a bit of luck in his heart, and picked a competent one from among his cronies, "Go and find out what something special has happened recently......

The cronies sent out, and Pu Zongmeng waited for his reply. If there's nothing special, maybe ...... These are just the casual words of the Son of Heaven.

Pu Zongmeng held three points of anticipation, fantasizing that things would turn out as he expected. He didn't care to do anything all afternoon, and his desk was full of official documents that needed to be dealt with, and his efficiency was so slow that it could already be said that Pu Zongmeng was a corpse vegetarian meal.

The cronies who sent Lu did not come back when Pu Zongmeng was on duty, and it was not until late at night that he quietly returned to Pu Zongmeng's house. When he arrived at the head of the family who was found, he whispered, "Bachelor, something seems wrong. The news of Lingzhou's defeat has spread in the capital, and they are all talking about it. However, the case of Su Zhishi, who is still imprisoned in Taiwan, is now being discussed outside. ”

"How?" Pu Zongmeng hurriedly asked.

The cronies said: "It is rumored outside that before the imperial court sent troops, Su Zhishi once said that this time he would defeat the army, so he hated the Son of Heaven and was imprisoned in Taiwan." Now that he is really defeated, the Son of Heaven has no face to see him, and it is said that he has decreed that he will be given to death! ”

Isn't this the story of Yuan Shao and Tian Feng?! Pu Zongmeng's hands and feet are cold, but he just changed his name, and they are exactly the same!

No wonder the Son of Heaven questioned his intentions. The stories of Yuan Shao and Tian Feng are a little reluctant to be applied to Su Shi, but they are just right for Han Gang.

The Imperial City Division is not deaf or blind, and the rumors must have already reached the ears of the Son of Heaven. It was when he was annoyed by this that his own words made the Son of Heaven have associations that he shouldn't have.

It's over, it's over.

Pu Zongmeng, who had thought through everything, was like five thunderbolts, and he actually became a villain in front of the Son of Heaven, which Pu Zongmeng could not have imagined. Even though the truth is not too bad, no one wants to have anything to do with the villain.

Once the image of the traitor leaves roots in the mind of the Son of Heaven, it will be troublesome in the future. This charge can be said to have ruined his years of hard work. is just the right rumor, and he is about to overturn himself, so that he doesn't even have a chance to get out.

"Who the hell is this from?!"

Pu Zongmeng's hissing roar came out of the window and dispersed into the night sky in an instant.
