Chapter 33: I can't figure it out
In fact, Zhang Huan regretted it after he finished speaking, he is actually a hot-blooded man in essence, sometimes he can't control his mouth, although he is very envious of those so-called deep cities, it is easy to be promoted in an environment like Huaxia, but he can't do it, this is not a gaffe, but since he has lost his words, Zhang Huan doesn't mind.
"Lord Zhizhou, today my Yanyan Road army has won great victories one after another, and it seems that the recovery of Yinzhou and Xiazhou is imminent,'
Liu Yue decided to divert the topic and talked about the war, which can be regarded as a hot topic in Yanzhou at the moment, and every household does not pay attention to it.
"I just received an urgent report from the front, and the deputy head of the species has just captured Yinzhou,"
Speaking of this, Shen Kuo said with a smile, obviously very satisfied.
"I'm waiting to congratulate you,"
Mr. Liu Yue and Mr. Jiang arched their hands.
"I'll wait for the emperor's congratulations."
Shen Kuo said solemnly.
Zhang Huan also arched his hand, but his face twitched, and the delicate Shen Kuo noticed this.
"Zhang Huan, if you have any words, just say it bluntly,"
Zhang Huan left a very good impression on Shen Kuo several times, and a few of the scholars in Yanzhou knew about his achievements, and sometimes he sighed that he had contributed to the society and his reputation was not obvious, but this Zhang Huan was clear about his achievements.
Shen Kuo was not arrogant enough to think that Zhang Huan had special respect for him, his idea was that this student was very concerned about the overall situation of the government and the opposition on weekdays, and had his own insights, so if Zhang Huan was not young, he would have the idea of taking him under his command.
Well, Shen Xianggong loves talents, but he has a bad reputation now, so he doesn't gather talents.
"The students heard that several armies besieged the Western Xia, and it seems that the progress is quite smooth, and the students hesitate that the iron harriers and foot soldiers of the Western thieves are strong, why they never fight a decisive battle with our army, and think about it, if I am the lord of the Western Xia, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops on several roads of our Great Song Dynasty, they are invincible, only the strong wall and the clear field hold on, and wait until our army's food and grass are urgent, the men and horses are trapped, and they are forced to retreat, and then chase and kill, and the battle is decided."
Zhang Huan didn't want to say it, but thinking about the tragic situation of Song Jun after that, he still had one more sentence, or he couldn't change his nature.
'Before the men and horses move the grain and grass, you are quite a soldier,'
Shen Kuo smiled.
"Zhang Huan's father is a member of the Baojie Army in Shunning Village, and he returned home the day before yesterday after being injured,"
Liu Yue glanced at this unconscious disciple and explained.
"Hehe, it's no wonder,"
Shen Kuo nodded,
"However, this time, the deputy director of the seed collected several cellars of the western thief at the eastern foot of Hengshan Mountain, and captured tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass from the western thief.
Shen Kuo didn't take this matter seriously, although Zhang Huan actually knew the urgency of grain and grass, but this time it may not be the lifeblood of the army, at least in the army of Yan Yanlu, it may not be the most important.
"The question is whether the Xiang army and the unity of my transport grain and grass can transport these grain and grass to the hands of the army, the road from Yanyan Road to Yinzhou Xiazhou is rugged, although the straight-line distance is less than two hundred miles, in fact, it is several times this, and the road is narrow and difficult to travel, and the Western Thief knows that if there is no shortage of grain and grass in our army, then Xixia is in danger, so the Xixia Jianing Military Division, Xiangyou Military Division and the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division will definitely contain the army of the deputy commander of the species, and send the division to detour our army's grain road, so that our army's grain and grass cannot be transported to the front line, The army of the thieves in the west is facing the box army and the united archers of our army transporting grain, and our army transporting grain can only march while fighting, so I am afraid that we can only travel ten or several miles a day,"
Zhang Huan did not participate in the military formation in this era, but he was born in the later generations, and the first war in the later generations was national strength and logistics, and he had already estimated the way and rate of transporting grain and grass in the rear of the Song army, and the attack of the Xia army was certain, and finally he came to the conclusion that it was impossible to complete the task of transporting grain and grass for hundreds of miles on the steep mountain road of Hengshan Road, and the Song army would eventually run out of grain and collapse, and there was no luck.
Shen Kuo's face became solemn, Shen Kuo knew that Yanzhou was the first time he was in charge of the border as a marshal, to put it bluntly, he was really a rookie, but he was diligent and prudent, and he knew that if the western thief followed what Zhang Huan said, the army would indeed be embarrassed.
He has never had the experience of presiding over the expedition of the army, so this expedition was presided over by the commander of the army, he is a marshal, that is, a general logistics minister and the head of the General Armament Department, responsible for the stability of the rear and the gathering of grain and equipment, and the transfer of Li Ji is the captain of the transport team, responsible for transporting all the grain and machinery to the tens of thousands of troops of the plant, so he does not know all the transportation problems, and Li Ji is not very proficient in the literati, to say that the most familiar with the situation here is none other than the seed.
But these kinds of deputy governors should know why ... ’
Shen Kuohu said suspiciously.
Yes, he is a civil official, and he has been an official in the south and Beijing, and the border war is not his forte, but who is the seed, he has been fighting with the western thieves for decades, and is known as the first general of Yan Yanlu, how can he not know this truth,
"Some people say that there is a kind of deputy chief manager on Yanyan Road for a day, and the border land is constantly in flames,"
Mr. Jiang sneered,
Jiang Yuanfeng: This is a disguised statement, a kind of reckless military force.
Shen Kuo didn't say anything, Shen Kuo has a characteristic, flattering, the emperor has worked hard for more than ten years, the national strength has increased greatly, he saw how the treasury is abundant when he was the third envoy of the power, so he can understand that Zhao Qi can no longer suppress the surging heart of extinguishing the sacrifice of the Xixia Temple, if Zhao Qi can destroy the country Xixia, then he is the first emperor of the Great Song Dynasty after Gaozu Taizong.
Therefore, in order to put aside the cumbersome system, Zhao Qi has been in constant private correspondence with the two places alone, Shen Kuo knows it, he doesn't know, and endures the disrespect that the seed has for him.
It is said that he is the handsome man in the border area, and the fold of the seed should be in his hands first, he read it and then transferred it to the political affairs hall, and handed it over to the emperor after reading it by the Zai Fu, this is the rule, what the seed and the emperor did broke this rule, and also humiliated him as a handsome, but he only endured it.
The reason why he endured the humiliation was that he knew that he couldn't stop the emperor's actions at all, since he ascended the throne today, everything that was right with him did not end well, the official system and the military system did not work, change, someone blocked the new policy and derogatory, the emperor looked quite easy-going, in fact, he was a resolute and tenacious lord, if he Shen Kuo didn't want to go from the position of the Yan Yan Road to appease the envoy, he could only endure it.
Of course, there is another reason for him to let go, that is, after all, he is a veteran who has been fighting with the Western Thieves for decades, and he will never cut off his future, he is a member of the family, and he can't mess around with the family, so it should be reliable for the emperor's article, and they can communicate with each other, it is rare to be confused.
But today, Zhang Huan said that he was surprised, as Zhang Huan said, this time the army is not more auspicious, but is it stupid, then he should know the truth of settling accounts after the autumn.
'What you say is quite reasonable, but how can the deputy governor be so unwise, and he is not guilty of deceiving the king,'
Shen Kuo couldn't figure it out, no wonder, he was cautious all his life, and never dared to disobey his boss, let alone the emperor.
