Chapter 109: En's Reign

Yanzhou was defeated, and the people in the northwest were panicked, with Han Qi as the pacification envoy of the Shaanxi road volume, and Fu Weizhong as the deputy envoy, patrolling several roads along the border to appease the people. This trip focused on Yanyan and Huanqing Road, and the two did not come to Qinfeng Road.

After Han Qi returned to the court, the imperial court adjusted the four roads along the border in Shaanxi. Xia Zhu no longer served as the deployment and pacification envoy of the Shaanxi Road Capital, but only served as the commander of the Yongxing Road, and the general Xia Shouyun served as the deployment and pacification envoy of the Shaanxi Road Capital. Fan Yong was dismissed due to the defeat of Yanzhou, and changed his knowledge to Anzhou with the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the commander of the Yanlu Marshal of Yanlu was the commander of the Xiangzhou Defense History, the four compartments of the Dragon Shenwei, and the deputy capital of the Yanyan Road deployed Zhao Zhenzhi Yanzhou for the time being. The marshal of Huanqing Road was the observer envoy of Yangzhou, the commander of the four compartments of Tianwu in Japan, and the deputy commander of Huanqing Road to deploy Liu Xingzhi to Huanzhou for the time being. The original Jingyuan Road deputy capital deployment Cao Cong was changed to Shaanxi Road deputy capital deployment and deputy envoy of economic strategy, led the army to Tun Yanzhou, and at the same time responded to the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing, and guarded the safety of the Yongxing military road in Guanzhong, and the deputy capital of Jingyuan Road was changed to be taken over by Ge Huaimin, the regimental training envoy of Laizhou. Ge Huaimin is Wang Deyong's in-law, Wang Deyong was relieved of his military power in the Privy Mansion, and he was reused at this time. When he took office on Jingyuan Road, Ge Huaimin promoted Yin Zhu as the judge of the Jingyuan Economic Strategy Division.

Along the four roads, only Qin Fenglu has not changed because of the victory.

At this time, all the troops from Xia Shouyun's Shaanxi Road were deployed to the deputy deployments of all roads, all of which were military generals, all because Fan Yong's performance in Yanzhou was too clumsy. Immediately afterwards, in addition to Xu Ping, he ordered the envoys of the other three roads to return the edict of acting cheaply, relieving the civil officials and ministers of the right to act cheaply, and then reappointed the envoys of the various roads along the border of Shaanxi.

Han Qi served as the Jingyuan Road Envoy and the capital deployment, and at the same time recommended Fan Zhongyan as the Yanyan Road Envoy and the capital deployment, and Wang Yan in Lingnan was appointed as the Huanqing Road Envoy and the capital deployment because of his outstanding military achievements.

When the three took office, according to the rules of Xu Ping's tenure, the imperial court required them to exchange their positions for weapons, which was strongly opposed by Fan Zhongyan. Although Han Qi and Wang Yan and others did not write the book, they were actually dissatisfied in their hearts, and finally the imperial court compromised and let the marshals along the border exchange for literary resources. Because of his military exploits, Xu Ping was changed to a scholar of the Civilization Palace and returned to the Wenchen sequence.

The edict was sent to Dingxi City, and Xu Ping was startled. Before he came to the northwest, he was a privy councillor, and then he was promoted to a pavilion bachelor at most, and this time he not only skipped the pavilion bachelor, but also directly promoted to the top of the palace bachelors. At this time, the first order of the palace bachelors includes the scholars of the Civilization Palace, the scholars and bachelors of the Senior Administration Palace, and the scholars of the Duanming Palace, which are basically preferential treatment of old ministers or prime ministers, and additional officials when they leave their positions in power, and another qualification is military merit. In the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, the scholars of the Civilization Palace were changed from the Duanming Palace, and the order was under the Privy Council, and the scholars of the Senior Administration Hall and the scholars of the Hanlin Palace. At this time, the level of the temple is divided by the hall, and it is not that the addition of a big character is one level higher. In the second year of Ming Dao, the Duanming Hall Bachelor was replaced, which was located under the Bachelor of the Senior Administration.

The scholars of the halls are called "footnote scholars" with the words "grace and rule together", and the occasional exceptions are called "no footnotes". The position is originally different from the official and the dispatch, the emperor's opinion is more serious, Zhao Zhen awarded the highest palace bachelor to Xu Ping, and it will not be without footnotes. At the age of thirty-one, Xu Ping finally received the treatment of the chief executive, and he could not send Kou Zhun who was the thirty chief executives, but the official and the position were the only people.

After receiving the edict, Xu Ping looked at Shi Quanbin, who came to deliver the edict, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "The kindness is too heavy, how dare I accept it?" ”

Shi Quanbin said with a smile: "Jinglu, the position is the grace of the king, and compared with the non-official and the sent, there is no such thing as sealing and returning the edict." ”

How could it not be? However, it is indeed different from officials and dispatches, except for the ethereal and ethereal advisers, there is no position, and if the edict is returned, it is clearly dissatisfied with the court.

Xu Ping finally sighed: "Jun En is too heavy, I can't afford itβ€”β€”"

Shi Quanbin took a step forward and said, "Jingluo, let's take a step to speak." ”

It seems that Shi Quanbin also brought Zhao Zhen's words, Xu Ping let him go to his study, and said: "There are only you and me here, you can just say anything directly." Isn't it that the DPRK and China are having a hard time, and you want me to build some more military achievements here? ”

Shi Quanbin looked out the window and said in a low voice: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away." Since the Hao thieves rebelled against the Song Dynasty and the various roads in Shaanxi fought with the party, only Qinfeng Road, which passed through here, did not have any defeats, and there was a big victory. If it weren't for your encouragement in this victory, the DPRK and China would be in chaos now. When you reform the military system in Qinfeng Road and train the troops, you have detailed chapters sent to the imperial court, and the officials watch them carefully every time, and some can even recite them. According to the meaning of the official family, what you have done on Qinfeng Road has been very effective, so it is better to extend it and do the same. However, if you act here, the Sanya will be dispensable from now on, and those generals in the army can only train and study with other officers, and there is no half advantage. Think about it, what would they say about Qin Fenglu here? Just the battle of Sanduchuan is far from enough. Have you noticed that now all the elites of the forbidden army are concentrated in Huanqing and Yanyan, and here in Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng, there are very few forbidden troops from the capital? ”

Zhao Zhen of Yanyan Road is the commander of the four compartments of Longshenwei, and Liu Xing of Huanqing Road is the commander of the four compartments of Tianwu, and they are there, indicating that the main force of the "Fourth Army" is also there. Jingyuan and Qinfeng Road are mainly stationed in the forbidden army, and each has a forbidden army in the capital with 10,000 people. This arrangement has already explained the attitude of the imperial court.

To tell the truth, the elite of the forbidden army in the capital is indeed strong, and in terms of individual combat power, they are almost the strongest soldiers in this era. Sanchuankou Yuanhao won a big victory, but it was at the cost of more personnel losses, and since that war in history, he has basically avoided the elite of the forbidden army represented by the "upper four armies", and has never collided with the established Beijing forbidden army. However, these strong soldiers were used to fight in a stupid battle and sweep away the unstable Tibetan tribes.

To fight a war, it is first necessary to determine what is the purpose of the war? Is it to attack the city and plunder the land, or is it mainly to destroy the enemy's living forces? The Central Plains Dynasty was beaten by nomads, and they were generally on passive defense, stubbornly defending one city after another, and gradually depleting their elite troops. Once you concentrate your strength to fight out, you can sweep across the grassland and desert like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. A city in the Central Plains represents a radius of hundreds of miles of people and materials, and the city is naturally important, but it is impossible to apply this experience to foreign wars. The Song Dynasty went further, extending from every city to every fortress and fort, and the troops were scattered, so that the originally superior military forces were at a disadvantage in every part and were passively beaten.

Zhao Zhen needs Qin Fenglu's military exploits to support Xu Ping, his rule is based on the forbidden army, and it is impossible to offend the generals of the forbidden army, so he can't sit still in the palace. is optimistic about Xu Ping, and Xu Ping has to fight for it himself.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin: "These days, Hao thieves are sitting in Zhuoluo and Nan, and they want to repeat the old trick of breaking Jinmingzhai, and send people to deceive and mix into Yuzhong County. I have already received the news that if you don't break Yuzhong City, the thieves will not cross the Yellow River, and if Yuzhong City loses, the attack and defense will change the situation, such a big bait I am afraid that the fish will swallow and drag me into the river, and I dare not send Yuzhong City out to lure the thieves. Originally, I wanted to drag it back to see if we could lead the party to send troops to attack Lanzhou tentatively. Swallow it in one gulp, although the thief will inevitably flee north and can't move him, but such a victory always has an explanation for the imperial court. Now it seems that this is not enough, to make the official family feel at ease, the only way to take the initiative is to move the thief. ”

Shi Quanbin said: "Is there a risk in doing this?" Don't steal chickens and don't lose a handful of rice, then you won't have a good time in Qinfeng Road. The thief is cunning, and you must not take it lightly! ”

"Originally, according to the previous year, after the beginning of spring, our army would take the initiative to attack, carry out spring hunting, destroy the party and clan accounts, and rob their cattle and sheep, but now it is just an early start. It is now early spring, and the party is unable to fight again, and there are not many soldiers and horses around Hao Thief. We took the initiative to cross the Yellow River, and although we couldn't catch him, we could always scare him, and the spring hunt went much smoother. ”

Shi Quanbin said: "Since the troops around the thief are insufficient, why don't you just catch him?" If it's a great achievementβ€”"

Xu Ping couldn't help laughing, shook his hand and said, "How can it be such a child's play when marching and fighting?" In the future, you will be like Liu and Shi Ershuai, and bring your own soldiers to fight? The three thousand iron horsemen around him were used to protect his life, and they couldn't stop him. If you want to catch him in the battle array, you must either help him from above, or have enough troops to surround him on all sides. I can only make up 50,000 troops to fight against the party's 30,000 troops, even if I can win the battle, even if it is good, how can I surround it! ”

Shi Quanbin sighed: "In this way, it's really a pity. If I can get the thief back here, it will be a great achievement, and no one in the court will say anything irresponsible to you. ”

The Song army was not captured in the main battle at every turn, that is, they were asked to lead their troops into battle to kill, and second, there were no personal guards around them, and it was easy to have an accident if they were targeted. How many armies will fight like this? After crossing the Yellow River, it is no longer a mountainous terrain, and it is not possible to block a few key nodes to encircle the enemy. Ten rules surround it, without the help of terrain, it is difficult to play the effect of the battle of Sanduchuan. In the vast plains, the role of cities and passes is reduced, and the army's mobility is of decisive significance.

The greatest significance of cavalry is to greatly improve the army's mobility ability, whether it is a maneuver to quickly adjust the direction of attack on the battlefield, or a long-distance maneuver to raid important locations and change the battlefield within the scope of the campaign, it is enough to affect the outcome of the war. The four words that come and go like the wind accurately describe the characteristics of cavalry combat. In contrast, the charge of the heavy cavalry was less important.

Xu Ping is not short of horses now, but it is still far inferior to Yuan Hao's side.
