[It's yesterday's third watch.] 】

Chong Ge and Li Xian had just conquered Youzhou, and Yanzhou had picked up a bargain for the partial division sent by Gao Zunyu. The land of Silver Summer was basically recovered, and the news spread to the capital

Wang Zhongzheng was still far from Lingzhou, but he had already reported that he was stubbornly blocked by the Western Thieves in the process of marching into the army. However, they walked along the valley of the Yellow River and broke through several gorges one after another. Although the bitterness is great, the results are the most abundant. Moreover, Wang Zhongzheng also has a partial division, which is going to Liangzhou Mansion.

Wang Sunchen captured Jisang Village, crossed the Hongchi Ridge, and was heading towards Liangzhou. There was a delay of more than 20 days in the exchange of information between the capital and Wang Sunsin. Presumably, if this trip goes well, Liangzhou should have been captured.

As for Gao Zunyu of Huanqing and Miao Zhu of Jingyuan, both of them successfully arrived in Lingzhou City. As long as you rest for two days, you can go out to attack Lingzhou. With the level of the official army in the offensive and defensive battles of the city, as well as the use of thunderbolt artillery and other combat equipment, it is not a problem to take Lingzhou City. If you have the guts, you can take down Xingqing Mansion by the way.

"The current situation is all up to the minister." In the Qingfeng Building, Pu Zongmeng, who is currently the incumbent of the Zhizhi Dynasty, held his wine glass, "The elite soldiers and fierce generals gathered under the city of Lingzhou. Lingzhou is available in a blink of an eye, and the end of summer is just around the corner."

Wang Qi smiled lightly and took a sip of wine, "Where." This is the credit of His Majesty, and I am just an assistant. ”

"How can the Son of Heaven be without the assistance of the Prince? As soon as the strategy of cutting down the summer came out, it was immediately criticized by the group. If there is no public advocacy in the middle, how can there be this day of watching the army and rejuvenating the spirit? A hundred years of trouble has finally been relieved, and this is the power of justice. ”

Wang Jue sighed: "As long as there can be less slander in the future." ”

Could he not have known the title of the Three Decrees of the Dao? Wang Qi was neither deaf nor blind. Ridicule is hearable, ridicule is visible. Follow the Son of Heaven closely, and all actions depend on the Son of Heaven. Wang Jue implemented his officialdom philosophy perfectly, but he was still unwilling after all.

As the prime minister of a country, assisting the Son of Heaven in governing hundreds of millions of people, since Wang Jue occupies this position, he still wants to leave something for future generations after all. Let your name be engraved in history, and you can go to a higher peak.

Wang Jue rarely has the opportunity to show himself, his task is to control the overall situation, neither to go into battle to kill the enemy, nor to lead the army to destroy the country, these are not within the scope of the prime minister's authority, which determines that Wang Jue can't get involved at all, and can only sit back and watch one opportunity after another be taken away.

Fortunately, Wang Jue has patience, and as long as he is still in the prime minister's office, there is still hope. After waiting for half a year, he finally waited for a chance.

Guo Kui, Wang Shao, Zhang Dian and even Han Gang, they have the ability and merit, and they also sweat and contribute to the national power of the Great Song Dynasty, but they don't have the luck to take the fruit into their arms.

But he Wang Yuyu has.

Therefore, he advocated attacking Xia, as long as he could successfully capture Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, his status and prestige would inevitably be comparable to Han Qi and Fu Bi, and far more than those mediocre courtiers.

If we are stable today, turbulent times can arise at any time. Once the situation is turbulent and the critical time comes, the Son of Heaven will never trust a minister who can only say that he will ask for the holy decree, receive the holy decree, and have received the holy decree, but he will certainly trust a prime minister who is obedient, capable, and has no lack of achievements.

With the credit of destroying the country, even if he goes out for some reason, he will soon be able to return to Beijing. It will not be a veteran who sits in the court, let alone a new party or an old party with too strong tendencies, but like him Wang Jue, who is capable, prestigious, and can withstand beatings, and his loyalty to the Son of Heaven has always remained the same. There is no need for such people, and what else is available.

This is Wang Jue's thoughts, for a Song man who has reached the pinnacle of his official position, popularity, status and the opportunity to make a comeback are the keys to what he wants to get.

And there is one thing to be thankful for, because he is on the verge of success.

As Han Gang said, as long as the official army defeats Lingzhou, this battle will be won, and it is impossible to lose again.

"Gao Zunyu and Miao Zhu arrived in Lingzhou successively; Wang Zhongzheng will soon be there; There may be some problems on the side of Chong Ge and Li Xian, but with the military strength in their hands, it is only a matter of time before they get through the Hanhai. ”

"And Lingzhou." Wang Jue also has to maintain his reserve as the prime minister, and he will not make arrogant statements in front of outsiders, "Lingzhou City is well defended, and it is not easy to fight down." Even Han Gang has said that Lingzhou is difficult. ”

"Han Gang said that Lingzhou is difficult, doesn't he know the strength of the Lu Dao official army to attack the city? The Thunderbolt Cannon is his invention, and other battle equipment also have the same power, as long as Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road take out the craftsmen they brought with them. Let them build it day and night, and three to five days is enough time to build a battle tool that surrounds Lingzhou City. ”

Wang Jue nodded: "Han Yukun's actions are indeed a little too steady now. ”

"Han Gang is no longer just a matter of stability. The generals and colonels of the Western Army all said that it was conducive to a quick attack, but he wanted to advance slowly. It can't be said that the combined knowledge of the generals and colonels of the Western Army is not as good as him. ”

Wang Jue smiled: "Do you know that Han Gang is not self-defiled? Wasn't he told that he had a close relationship with the planters? At this time, the opposition to radicalism can take the opportunity to wash off. ”

Han Gang seemed to be trying to wash away the falsehoods that had been imposed on him in the past. And for Wang Jue, the stigma that has been pressing on his head can finally be cleared. Sanzhi Xianggong and Zhibaodan, no matter which of the two nicknames is unpleasant.

"That's why he is quick and embarrassed. People in the world are busy, and there are a few people who know that they are hard. There are many people like Han Gang, who obstruct it. Pu Zongmeng's eyes flashed, "In the city, I have heard many people say that Xianggong is a solid favor and keeps his current power." Who knows that the purpose of the Dao Xiang is to give the people of Shaanxi a long-term peace and stability. ”

Wang Jue sighed loudly: "Those who know me are the only ones in "Spring and Autumn"!" Those who sin against me are only "Spring and Autumn"! Knowing that I sin against me does not count. ”

Pu Zongmeng got up and bowed to Wang Jue to the end, moved until he cried: "Future generations should know the sincerity of the prime minister for state affairs." ”

……………………

"There are wrong names, no wrong nicknames. Wang Yuyu can always insist on using soldiers, but it is not what he wants. The Son of Heaven wanted to use soldiers, and he supported them. If the Son of Heaven is disgusted with martial arts, if he can say a word for the use of soldiers, the sky will fall. ”

"That's when it's no point in complaining." Han Gang rode his horse and said to Fang Xing with a side face, "I'm still waiting to see the result." ”

In the first five months of this year, the net income of freight and passenger transportation in Xianghan Caoqu totaled more than 120,000 yuan, and at the same time, 600,000 Shigang grain arrived in Beijing. He was under the door of Zhongshu, and even the household inspection was gentle to him.

However, in front of Han Gang, Fang Xing never dared to take a big one, and on the day he arrived in Beijing, he specially booked a private room in Qingfeng Building to entertain Han Gang. In terms of position and point of view, they also followed Han Gang: "The result is not like that? If you want to win, God will help you. This battle should not be fought. ”

"There's nothing wrong with fighting, but you shouldn't be fighting. Occupy Yinxia and Hexi, and suppress the party members in the land of Xingling. With the strength of the officers and troops, it will be easy, and the situation of lack of food and grass will be much better. ”

"Long Tu said yes." Fang Xing nodded.

Han Gang is anti-radical, not anti-war, but it is rumored outside that Han Gang is anti-war.

In this regard, there has been a lot of turmoil among the people outside the capital, and many people think that the anti-war also has its own reason, and the disciples of the Medicine King all say so, most of them are counting their fingers. No matter how smooth the progress is now, the result will not be good in the end, and what the disciple of the Medicine King said will not be wrong.

However, among Shilin and officialdom, and even among the people in the capital, because they have a wide range of knowledge, they have less influence on the aura on Han Gang's body, so they have their own opinions. At first, there were many people who supported Han Gang because of his military experience, but as the war situation developed, more and more people switched to the camp.

For such rumors, Han Gang can only spread his hands, and it is difficult to defend himself. But he doesn't need to defend himself, as long as the court knows his attitude.

"You have to be careful of the Liao." Fang Xing jumped the topic to the north again, "The 200,000 Liao troops are not here to go out in Yuanyangluo. ”

"200,000 may not be, 100,000 is definitely there. Yelu Yixin did not take them to Mandarin Duck to scare people. If anything happens to the officers and soldiers, he will definitely do it. "Han Gang has a very high opinion of Yelu Yixin's decisiveness, and he can turn Yelu Hongji's family of four and two generations over the couple, and he can't do it without being ruthless or spicy, "Whether it's land or New Year's coins, as long as you can bite a piece of meat from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, you can let Yelu Yixin increase his prestige in the Liao Kingdom." ”

Fang Xing sighed: "Yelu Yixin can go from a poor clan to the lord of the great Liao who is only usurping the throne, which can be regarded as a rare hero in the world. With him staring behind him, it is also a shame that Wang Yuyu dares to let this big battle continue......"

"The news of the arrival of the official army under the city of Lingzhou came the day before yesterday, but Miao Zhu actually arrived in Lingzhou fifteen days ago. Gao Zunyu's Huanqing Army was transmitted to the capital yesterday 14 days ago...... After so many days, if Lingzhou has been captured now, it will be fine, if it can't be captured, the food should be eaten. ”

"Can't the grain and grass really be transported?" Fang Xing asked.

"What do you think the western thieves lured the enemy deep and deliberately dragged the supply line of the commander's army? They have already been prepared, and they will definitely do their best to complete the plan, how can they let the grain and grass be delivered to Miao and Gao smoothly? Under Lingzhou City, if the official army wins, it will be a big victory, and if it is defeated, it will be a heavy defeat, and the time left for them to attack the city is only one month at most......"

Before Qingfeng Tower, Han Gang restrained his horse. His expression was indifferent: "It's almost time for a result." ”
