Chapter 557 is ambitious

That Qian Cheng was destined to be the emperor, so it was inconvenient to gossip too much, so he put away his smile and said: "Under the edict of the Son of Heaven, the prince will change his clothes and receive the edict." Cow text full text"

Because of his daughter's first birthday, Xu Wei was wearing civilian clothes, so he naturally couldn't accept the order. Please sit down and wait for a while, he was busy changing his court clothes, and after cleaning his hands and burning incense, he entered the main hall to receive the edict. But I saw the purple gold tiger with a hedgehog crown on his head, a purple robe, lined with white flowers, tied with a large belt, and tied with a leather belt to cover his knees, under white silk socks and black leather boots, with a jade sword and jade pendant hanging on the belt, and a brocade ribbon on the other side, which was very solemn.

After Xu Wei bowed, Qian Cheng unfolded the edict and preached loudly: "The system says, the army is impermanent, and the general who will win will be used; The former Jin people threw soldiers to come, wanting to annex Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Qing was able to defeat the enemy and protect the customs, so that the ugly class was defeated and frustrated the sharp of the tiger and wolf, which was really a pillar stone. Today's soldiers are out of Tongguan, Xuanwei is in Luozheng, and it is not easy to protect the mausoleum and filial piety. When the courage to overcome is used to restore the homeland, in this way, then the great cause of the great cause, who is the Qingqing? Specially awarded Wusheng, Suide, Dingbian three towns festival envoys, plus the inspection of the school major, awarded the Zhuguo, in addition to the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu deputy envoys, exempt from signing the book of the division of official affairs, dedicated measures to the edge of the border defense. Wangqing is the hero of the general western soldiers, protects the generals, fights the work of the minions, and takes the oath of the mountains and rivers. Reluctantly respectful, trying to repay the kindness. ”

Xu Wei listened, and bowed again: "The minister received the edict, thank you, long live, long live, long live, long live" and then got up and stepped forward, bowed his head to take the edict of the Son of Heaven, offered it to the hall, and was waiting to be invited to serve tea, but saw that Qian Cheng took another edict, which was originally written by the emperor Zhao Huan, and he was helpless, and he bowed again, and received another edict.

It is nothing more than Zhao Huan praising Xu Wei's merits, reminiscing about the past, and encouraging him to be loyal to the monarch and the country. Xu Wei received the edict, and Qian Cheng handed over the property, treasures, and gold belts given by the official family. After the inventory was correct, Zijin Tiger asked a group of waiters to go to the flower hall to serve tea.

At this point, Xu Weijia was the envoy of the three towns, entered the inspection school, and gave the Pillar Country, of course, he was very honored, and the money and treasures he gave were of course worth a huge amount of money. But these are either imaginary or things outside the body, and what really surprised Xu Wei was the "Deputy Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu". Before, the important position of Xuanfu was delegated by the ministers of the second government, and there was absolutely nothing to do with the martial arts. Now that the situation is difficult, the imperial court has changed due to the situation, and it is very rare for him to serve as a deputy envoy of Xuanfu as a military minister. Although the edict clearly states that "the official affairs of the Department of the Department of Letters are exempted from signatures, and the border is guarded by special measures", that is to say, although he is named "Deputy Envoy of Xuanfu", he is in charge of the military regardless of the daily affairs of the Xuanfu Division. But once this name is hung up, that is, the second person in Sichuan and Shaanxi, alongside Wang Shu, especially above Xu Liang, it will be much easier to do things in the future.

Afterwards, Xu Wei went to the flower hall, and several chamberlains got up and saluted, saying: "I have seen Xuanfu Xianggong." ”

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Xu Wei smiled.

After Qian Cheng sat down, he said with a smile: "In the past, Xu Xuanfu was in Tokyo, and the villain never expected to have today." Over the years, the villain has often been reported to the public in front of the king, as the minister said, the truth is the northwest pillar stone."

Xu Wei arched his hand to the south, and said with a straight face: "This is all thanks to the Holy Spirit, and the ministers dare to be greedy for the merits of the sky?" ”

"Hey, Xuanfu is too modest. This time, the prince responded on the side, and the king of Zhejun and He Taibao were able to recapture Xiangyang. On this point, the DPRK and China have a fair opinion. "Qian Chengdao.

Folded county king? Which Orijun King? Mo is the ancient fold? Xu Wei's heart moved, so he asked about it, only then did he know that Zheyan Zhen was guarding the line, resisting the enemy Jiangbei in front, commanding the army, recapturing Xiangyang behind, turning the tide, covering the contemporary, the court compared the work of recovering Yanyun, Shu Wangjue, and the king of Fenyang County, which was above the three dukes. He Guan was also promoted to Taibao because of his merits, and like Xu Shao and Xu Taishi, he was ranked as the third duke.

And the title of Zhe Zhonggu has a history, the famous marshal Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty, because of his merits, the emperor praised him as "although I am a family and a country, it is really rebuilt by Qing", and then named "King of Fenyang County", known as Guo Fenyang. Now Zhe Yanzhi has been named "King of Fenyang County", which shows that he is treated as Guo Ziyi. Its glory and favor have reached the point of no return.

After Qian Cheng finished speaking, he also specially added: "The king of Zhejun is a scholar because of his background in the imperial examination, and his qualifications are extremely thick, so he is very rare." When he said this, he was afraid that Xu Wei would not be convinced and have ideas. Just imagine, if Xu Wei is not under anyone in terms of military merits alone, and Sichuan and Shaanxi have been preserved because of him, and his reputation is violent in the north and south, why is he alone to be crowned king, but he doesn't care about him? Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, the military ministers were suppressed, and they did not have a high level of power, but they liked to compare these vain things the most. In the past, the festival made many people stared at it with red blood, but now it is not uncommon for the festival to be made. If you are a king, then the lord of the county king has become the ultimate goal of the military minister, can Xu Wei not be angry?

However, Qian Duzhi really thought wrong, Xu Wei really didn't care about these fictitious things, he cared about real power. Don't say that Zheyan is a two-word king, even if it is a one-word king? Can it be eaten as a meal? It's just a nice call.

Moreover, in history, since Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty killed the white horse and allied with the kings of the Liu family, and set the rule of "the king is not the Liu family, the world will fight together", anyone with a different surname will either be seized power, or the usurper reserve team, almost no good end.

Zhe Yanzhi has a personal relationship with me, and now that he is crowned king, I am not only not jealous, but worried about him. He is a member of the party, and he is crowned king as a foreigner, and no one says anything now, and when the situation calms down in the future, he will inevitably attract criticism. If it were me, it would be too late to hide, how dare you accept it?

Although Xu Wei was not blushing, but in front of the angels, he had to have an attitude, so he smiled and said: "The king of Zhejun turned the tide, his merits are brilliant, and he is admired by the world, needless to say." But it's too early to say 'work for the contemporary'? ”

As soon as Qian Cheng heard this, he hurriedly responded: "That's that, Fang Jin's country is in trouble, and it is the time to make contributions, what will happen in the future, who knows?" ”

Xu Wei asked about the current situation of the Emperor and the emperor, as a foreign minister, he had to pretend to be like this. When he learned that Zhao Huan's wind disease had improved and he could barely walk, he was overjoyed. In the end, I asked my third uncle. Xu Shao has been sick, because he is the prime minister, it is impossible to avoid all opportunities, so the situation is not very good. Xu Wei was deeply worried, not only worried about his uncle's illness, but also worried that Xu Shao would be full of enthusiasm and loyalty to Zhao Song, which might end up......

Qian Chengyi's group of chamberlains did not stay in Shaanxi for too long, and returned to the dynasty soon after. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he was summoned by Emperor Zhao Huan to inquire about the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Qian Cheng truthfully reported, saying that in the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there was Erxu presiding, and the situation was greatly improved. The soldiers are well fed, their morale is high, and the resumption of production in the Guangfu area is also fruitful, which is worth looking forward to.

Zhao Huan specially asked Xu Wei's attitude, and Qian Cheng did not hide it at all, in addition to describing Xu Wei's joy at being enthroned and his concern for the loyalty of the three saints, he also focused on Zijin Tiger's reaction to the feudal king. said that although Xu Wei was generous on the surface, he was somewhat unconvinced in his heart, claiming that "it is too early to say that his achievements cover the contemporary".

Zhao Huan was very happy, and even said to his son triumphantly, look, this is the pillar of the minister I chose for you.

After Xu Wei served as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, in Shaanxi, he was happy to obey. The arrogant generals under him naturally didn't have to say anything, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yan, Wang Yu, and Wang Yan also sincerely congratulated them. As for the above, Xu Churen had to borrow Wang Shu and Xu Liang because of his eye disease, and he was optimistic about Xu Wei's promotion to the deputy envoy of Xuanfu. Some people in the Xuanfu Disposal Division talked about it, saying that Xu Wei had already commanded the Western Army, and now he was full of Xuanfu, which was probably not a good thing. But Xu Churen didn't care at all, and said that Jinghu He Guan was also born as a military minister, and he still worshiped the official Xuanfu envoy, and even had the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, why couldn't Xu Wei?

He said this, firstly, out of trust and love for Xu Wei, and secondly, although Xu Wei was famous, he did not care about the daily work of the Xuanfu Division, and it had almost no impact on him.

By March, when the spring flowers were blooming, Xu Wei left Qinzhou and inspected all roads non-stop, making research for the recovery of the whole of Shaanxi. After years of development, all roads in Shaanxi have basically recovered from the shadow of the fiasco in Yanzhou. Of course, this is the leadership of the commanders, but it is also inseparable from the support of policies.

In the process of investigation and inspection, without Xu Wei opening his mouth, the commanders took the initiative to ask about the recovery of Shaanxi. Especially Xihe handsome Yao Pingzhong is the most. Xu Wei inspected Xihe, and he accompanied him every step of the way, mentioning the dispatch of troops many times. It is no wonder that Yao Pingzhong has already made a declaration envoy when he was the king of Tokyo Qin, and over the years, the times have been bad, ups and downs, and he has not been able to build a festival. I look forward to the Western Army recovering the whole of Shaanxi and building a festival to make a contribution. Jingyuan Marshal Wang Yu also expressed his hope for a counterattack, and even promised that as long as Xuanfu Xianggong gave an order, we Jingyuan could send 40,000 elite soldiers, together with Huanqing Liu Dashuai, from the security army to attack Yan'an Mansion.

Of course, there is a reason why these two big men are so positive. This time in the Eastern Crusade, Xu Wei only used Qin Fengjun and Liangxing Army, and the credit was naturally won by the generals of these two divisions. The other generals are watching, can they not be in a hurry? Now that it is not as good as before, who dares to support the army and respect itself? Everyone is playing under the same military flag, so why do they distinguish each other?

For the enthusiasm of the marshals, Xu Wei comforted him and instructed the marshals from all walks of life to keep their lives and recuperate, and it is not far off to recover the opportunity of Shaanxi.

After returning to Qinzhou, Xu Wei summoned Liu Ziyu, Wu Jue, Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo and others to discuss, and unanimously agreed that now that the morale of the Western Army was booming, and the enemy was getting tired day by day, he should take this opportunity to recover the whole of Shaanxi in one fell swoop. At the latest, the offensive should be launched after the autumn harvest of this year. If it is any longer, it is possible that the Jin State will make adjustments in Shaanxi and Hedong to guard against the Western Army. And now is the time to prepare.

Xu Wei wrote a report on this incident and reported it to Mianzhou as an envoy to Shaanxi. After Xu Churen received it, the matter was serious, and he did not dare to make an arbitrary decision, and discussed it with Wang Shu, Xu Liang, Zhang Jun, Zhao Bin and others, and finally determined that it was feasible

In the past few years, Sichuan has stored more than 1 million grains, which can be used by more than 100,000 troops for half a year, and Shaanxi has more or less some grain stocks. As for the money, there is no need to worry, the gains of the Eastern Crusade plus their own savings are enough to cope with a large-scale military mobilization.

Xu Churen's only concern was that the various western armies could not unite and cooperate with each other. Although Xu Wei's army is very effective, and all the commanders and guards are willing to be restrained, but it is peacetime, and whether they will be united in their hearts if they really want to fight is another matter. In view of this, in his reply to the Shaanxi Department of Manufacturing, he repeatedly stressed that it was necessary to unify the pace before the war to avoid incidents.

The request was granted, and Xu Wei immediately summoned the Marshal of Zhulu to Qinzhou to hold a military meeting. At the meeting, Xu Wei made it clear that after the autumn harvest this year, between July and September, he would take the opportunity to counterattack and regain Shaanxi in one fell swoop

This military meeting was not only about mobilization, but also about making detailed arrangements. Once the end of the war opened, Yongxing, Qinfeng, Xihe, and Liangxing four-way soldiers and horses concentrated all their efforts to break east from the Guanzhong Plain, take Tongzhou, and reach the Yellow River to cut off the retreat of the Shaanxi Jin army and the way of the Jin army in Hezhongfu to come to the rescue, and then turned the troops to the north, took Danzhou, and attacked Yan'an. At the same time, the Jingyuan soldiers entered Huanqing, and through the security army, they rushed to Yan'an from northern Shaanxi to join the main force. Then storm Yan'an Mansion, if you can win quickly, you will win quickly, and if you can't, you will surround the point and send reinforcements.

Compared with the previous counteroffensives, this time the strategy of the Western Army has undergone a major change, which is mainly reflected in the state of Juzhou. Yanzhou is an important town in Shaanxi, and the Jin people have always arranged heavy garrisons here. If you want to fight Yan'an, no matter which road you take, it is impossible to ignore Yanzhou. Previously, Xu Wei had also taken the capture of Dunzhou as a prerequisite for the recovery of Shaanxi.

But this time, he abandoned the strategy. Instead, he advocated concentrating superior forces, smashing the thieves' nest and not giving the Jin army a chance to move calmly, as long as Yan'an is surrounded, the Jin army in Dunzhou will inevitably come to the rescue, he will kill one by one, and two will kill a pair, and see who can fight whom

In this strategy, all parties must be dispatched, with the exception of Duhuanqing. First of all, Huanqing is the weakest in all roads, and secondly, after the main force of the Western Army is dispatched, the Jin army of Yanzhou will make a surprise move, not to save Yan'an, but to attack Fangzhou, and then enter Yaozhou, threatening Chang'an, and even Fengxiang, and even Shukou, which must be guarded against. The task of Huanqing Shuaisi is to hold Fangzhou tightly, prevent the Jin army from coming out, and beat the dog behind closed doors

Xu Wei's strategy was formed by him, Wu Jue and others after careful consideration. I don't dare to say that it is foolproof, but they are confident that they will be able to recover the whole of Shaanxi and drive the Jin people across the Yellow River. The commanders from all walks of life did not have any objections, and waited for the autumn harvest to enter the army.

After the Shaanxi Department of Preparation and Placement reported the strategy to Xu Churen, the Xuanfu Prime Minister was overjoyed when he heard it, and praised the case, "I have it", and he didn't think about it, just waiting to be the real "Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy". Before, although he was on this mission, the eastern part of Shaanxi had always been occupied by the Jin people, and now, he can finally justify it.

Xu Wei was ambitious, and he even planned that after recovering Shaanxi, the Western Army would cross the Yellow River non-stop, and stir him up in Hedong, where the Song army had not arrived for many years, so that the Jin people would rejoice

And he does have this strength now, with 200,000 Western troops waiting for him, with enough soldiers and high morale. In addition to the elite infantry army, he already has a horse army with a scale of more than 10,000 in his hands, which is enough to compete with the Jin army on the Guanzhong Plain.

Everything is in place, the east wind is not owed, and Shaanxi's recovery is just around the corner

However, the world is impermanent, just when Xu Wei began to prepare intensively, and the Sichuan side was already mobilizing grain, grass, silver and other materials, and was about to be shipped to Shaanxi, God actually gave a generous time, or rather, made a big joke with the officials of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the soldiers of the Western Army.

The fourth year of the establishment of the military, May. The monarchs and ministers of the Xing Dynasty were still immersed in the joy of victory, and the Dajin Kingdom came to add icing on the cake.

Hangzhou City, Shangshu right servant shot, with the book under the door of the Ping Zhang, the imperial camp envoy Xu Shao's official residence.

Because of the recent aggravation of his illness and the fact that the Song army had won a defensive battle, Xu Shao did not go to the government hall to work, and the daily work of the imperial court was temporarily presided over by Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei. The emperor also expressed his preferential treatment to the old ministers, in addition to rewarding medicines, he also sent a number of imperial doctors to treat Xu Shao, and listened to reports at any time. He also sent an attendant to Xu's mansion and told Xu Shao to recuperate and not worry about state affairs.

But Xu Shao was an idle person, and although he was recuperating at home, he still asked the relevant officials to send the official document to his home so that he could review it at any time and convey his opinions to Zhu Shengfei.

In the study, the old man was dressed neatly, he closed the doors and windows on such a hot day, and was coughing while reviewing the documents, and the pen in his hand kept commenting on the official documents. The door creaked open, and his wife, Mrs. Xu, came in with a plate containing a decoction.

Hearing that her husband's cough was worrying, Mrs. Xu stepped forward and said: "The husband is recuperating at home, so he should meditate, how can he still review the documents?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"It's okay, I'm idle left and right, look at the paperwork, and give them a clue." Xu Shao said casually.

Mrs. Xu put down the decoction and said, "Isn't it just you in the imperial court?" Those who know things know that you have good intentions, but they don't understand, and they think that you are holding on to it, so why bother to gossip? ”

"The mouth grows on someone's body, let him go." Xu Shao was unmoved.

Mrs. Xu sighed secretly, took the medicine bowl and handed it to her husband, Xu Shao took it, but he forgot to drink it in his hand, coughing and criticizing it. His wife reminded him, but he lost his mind and muttered, "What's all that trivial?" ”

Suddenly, a family member reported outside the room: "Xianggong, Xu Shumi is here." ”

Xu Han was a staunch ally of Xu Shao, who considered him to be too resourceful and reckless, but admitted that no one could match him when it came to loyalty to the country and sincerity to the people. Thus, the folds intersect. Hearing that he had arrived, Xu Shao put down the pen, drank the medicine, and invited Xu Han to meet him in the study, and Mrs. Xu retreated.

Not long after, Xu Han, who was dressed in official clothes, walked into the study, and the first thing he said when he came in was: "Xianggong is still closed at home, and the sky has changed outside."

These words are not trivial, Xu Shao was stunned, why did the sky change? Then he asked, "Where did the Privy Counsellor start with this?" ”

Xu Han looked a little angry, and walked to Xu Shao's desk, his brows were tightly locked, his face was dark, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
