Wang Shao's mansion in Qinzhou is not big, it is a small courtyard with two entrances, which is about the same size as the Han family's house. In front lived the guards and servants, and in the backyard was the main house. However, there is no need to make it too big, Wang Shao served in Qinzhou, and only brought his second son Wang Hou over. The other sons and daughters all stayed in their hometown in Dejiang, Jiangzhou. He died of illness four years ago, and the Xu family also stayed in Dejiang, and there were only two fathers and sons, three maids, and two subordinate veterans as servants.

Wang Hou rushed home with the smell of alcohol, and Wang Shao, who was studying in the study, frowned, but when he saw Han Gang following behind him, he didn't get up and teach his son a lesson.

For Han Gang, Wang Shao has long lost the mustard of the past, but has blue eyes. Otherwise, Wang Hou went to Han Gang to drink every day, and when he changed to the old time, he would have already moved the family law, and his son would not dare to run out of the house again. If it weren't for the fact that her only daughter was only ten years old and had promised someone early, Han Gang would be the best son-in-law candidate. Now Wang Shao writes to relatives and friends in the township, and he has to ask if there are any daughters of appropriate age among his relatives, so as to link Han Gang with his family marriage.

Sighing softly, Wang Shao rinsed the shabu brush in the celadon pen wash, blotted the water with thick paper, and hung it on the pen holder. Fang Cai asked, "What is the matter?" ”

didn't see his father's face, Wang Houxing said Han Gang's plan in a hurry. Han Gang stood behind, watching the change in the expression on Wang Shao's face, but he didn't notice much excitement.

"Did the time have already thought about it?" In normal times, Han Gang would never ask each other directly like this, but would knock on the side. It's just that when he was slightly drunk, he was pulled in front of Wang Shao by Wang Hou, and there was still a little unsubsided alcohol in his head, and he didn't speak as carefully as usual.

"In the fourth year of Huangyou, Fan Xiang, the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Province, built the ancient Wei village on the site of Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and it has been more than 20 years......" Wang Shao did not answer Han Gang's question, but suddenly talked about the ancient times, "During this period, someone proposed to open a market with the Fan people in Guwei; There are also proposals to open a horse market, exchanging salt and tea for war horses; Some people even want to move troops to Tuntian and expand Guwei into a city; Of course, it's not that no one wants to abandon Guwei - Fan Xiang was attacked by a series of bullets before the Guwei Village was repaired. On the shore of Weishui, there are more than 20 walled cities, and none of them are as controversial as the ancient Weizhai. Yukun, do you know why? ”

“…… Geography, history, people. The simple six words are not answering, but Han Gang is sorting out his thoughts so that he can explain them in detail in an orderly manner.

But when Wang Shao heard it, he praised it, "That's right, it's these six words!" It seems that Yukun you understand. Since ancient times, Weizhou has been an important place leading to the Western Regions. The Han and Tang dynasties made envoys to the Western Regions, mostly through this route. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Weizhou has fallen into the hands of the Tibetan people, and it has been nearly 300 years. The promotion of Gu Wei to the army, far away, means that the imperial court will reopen the Western Regions, from a close distance, this is the first step to expand the territory of Lintao and open the border of the river! …… Second brother, do you understand? But he asked his son.

Wang Hou sighed, he said it so bluntly, how could he not understand? The symbolic meaning of the ancient Wei army is too strong, and the original village has caused many discussions, if it is promoted to the army, I am afraid that the court will be noisy.

"Wang Jiefu is not the prime minister after all, but only a governor of political affairs." Wang Shao also sighed helplessly, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was not inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but once the sword soldiers were mobilized, it was extremely difficult. Even if there are talented people such as Ban Chao and Ma Yuan, they can't stand the desperate efforts of some people in the DPRK and China to make trouble. Once Guwei is upgraded to a state-level divisional unit, it will replace Qinzhou as the western frontier of the Great Song Dynasty, and block Qinzhou behind. In terms of military equipment, it is natural to divide the food and materials sent to Qinzhou, and the two bigwigs in the Privy Council will have ghosts if they don't take the opportunity to pull their hind legs.

"If Gu Wei wants to be promoted to the army, he doesn't care about accidents, just the daily consumption of grain, at least he must be able to solve more than 30% by himself. Yukun ...... Do you know which of the several villages west of Fuqiang City and along the Wei River is the most densely populated? ”

Han Gang thought for a while: "It should be Yongning......

Yongning Village is also on the edge of the Wei River, which is a walled city located between Fuqiang City and the ancient Wei Village. Forty miles away from Fuqiang City, one hundred and forty miles away from Guwei Village, the most famous thing in the village is Yongning Horse Market, half of Qinzhou's war horses are obtained from this horse market. If you talk about the spread of people, Guwei Village is not as good as Yongning at all.

"Do you know that a few years ago, Fan Xiang returned to Shaanxi, and there was a plan to set up a horse market in Guwei. When the horse market flourishes, Guwei Village can gradually recruit household registration, and at the end of the year, it can set up a county army. Fan Xiangzhi's policy was supported by Feng Jing at that time, and Feng Jing also wrote to ask for the construction of the ancient Wei city wall. In all fairness, a good step-by-step approach, supported by Shaanxi's pacification, should be easily passed. But after all, it still didn't work out - it was for Han Zhigui [Han Qi]. Feng Jing is the son-in-law of Fu Yanguo [Fu Bi], and the grievances between Fu Han for decades, I don't need to say it, I think you should also know it...... Once it comes to the West, things don't get that simple! ”

Han Gang could see Wang Shao's concerns, and made it clear that Gu Wei was going to turn his face with Li Shizhong, and forced the court to give an explanation. This gambler's practice of letting go and rolling his eyes made Wang Shao hesitate. I didn't take into account Wang Shao's psychology, and I did have some failures. But he still felt that he should stick to his opinion:

"Ji Yi has been in Qinzhou for a year, during which Ji Yi visited the walled cities of Qinzhou to understand the situation in the army, so as to prepare for the reference of the troops in the future. Thick and thin, at any time, it is indispensable. But the Son of Heaven can't see this, he only knows that Dao Jiyi has been in Qinzhou for a year and has not moved, and Wang Xianggong may be able to understand that Jiyi is slightly restrained by Li Jing, but no one can guess what the Son of Heaven thinks. Now, Wang Xianggong must want to see the opportunity to make a move. ”

"Yukun, do you still want to promote Gu Wei to the army?"

Han Gang avoided answering Wang Hou's question, "In Gang's humble opinion, any strategy to open up the river must be beneficial and not expensed. If you want to open up the river, the necessary human and financial resources are indispensable. But military spending is limited, more on the Hengshan side, and less on the Qinzhou side. After all, Hehuang is a partial division, even if he recovers the whole land, it will only be the right arm of the western thief who will be broken......"

Wang Shao smiled slightly when he heard this. The words of cutting off Xixia's right arm are still what he said in "Pingrong Ce". He nodded and motioned for Han Gang to continue:

“…… The terrain of Hengshan is dangerous, and the west thief has Hengshan, so he can look down on Guanzhong. The Tibetan tribe in Hengshan accounted for at least more than thirty percent of the Western Thief Army. Once Hengshan is captured, the party's strength will be reduced by 30%, and the lost troops will be added to our army's side, and once it increases and decreases, it will exceed half of the strength of the Western Thieves.

The source of soldiers is one thing, and the grain and grass are another, and it is more important. The 700-mile Hanhai Sea is a natural danger, and it is the most difficult thing to attack the grain and straw transfer of Lingwu [i.e., Lingzhou]. In fact, this is the same for the party members, the main force of the Western Thieves attacked from Xingling [Xingqing Mansion and Lingzhou], and it was impossible to cross the Hanhai Sea for grain, all of them had to rely on the support of the Hengshan Fan Department, or they would break through our military village and seize the grain stockpile. Once Hengshan is lost, the Western Thieves will lose the ability to attack for a long time, and can only confront me across the Hanhai. ”

Wang Shao nodded again and again when he heard this, Han Gang's hard work these days was not in vain, and the map in Wang Shao's hand corroborated each other with the map of the future in his heart. The understanding of the geography of Shaanxi is definitely the top level in the world.

"Since Hengshan is so important, the Son of Heaven and Wang Xianggong will not put more resources on the river. However, if he wanted to make meritorious contributions in Hehuang, he had to use the resources of Qinzhou. The idea is very simple, if Ji Yi can't have independent financial power, it will be too easy for Li Shizhong to get his neck stuck. ”

"But there is no need to rush to become an army! First Tuntian set up a village, and when the troops of the household registration were sufficient, it was a matter of course to set up an army and a state. ”

Han Gang shook his head, although the step-by-step Tuntian was still his opinion when he first met Wang Hou, but at that time he just said it casually, which was actually not realistic at all: "The day before yesterday, Han Mou once said to the Dao that in order to prevent provoking the officials and families behind the Huiyi caravan in Qinzhou, the matter of the city should be placed after Tuntian, and Tuntian should be the main thing, but now Han Mou knows a little more about the state, and only then does he find that it is a scholar's opinion." ”

"Huh? Why? Wang Hou had a question mark on his head, and his face was full of doubts, but Wang Shao showed a shallow smile and a look of approval.

"Shiyi only needs to pay the initial principal, and it can be transferred by itself. But Tuntian needs Qin Fenglu's continuous support, regardless of people, property, or property, at least two or three years. This is very difficult to do. No matter who sat in the position of Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy, he would not support Ji Yi. ”

Wang Hou was shocked: "What are you doing?!" ”

Wang Shao helped Han Gang answer: "The credit doesn't account for the lion, but the payment is indispensable, who is willing?" ”

Wang Shao was the first to advocate, and was appointed to Qinzhou to preside over the practice, if he succeeded, such a big piece of cake would almost be swallowed by him. Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao are stupid people, because they want to make a big effort by themselves, but they can't get a piece of the pie in the end, so they don't want to support it. You must know that the reason why Wang Shao had the idea of expanding the border and Hehuang was actually because he read a letter from Xiang Bao in the early years of Cai Ting's curtain.

Wang Hou suddenly realized, and Wang Shao looked at Han Gang and sighed: "Yukun, you really don't look like you're eighteen years old. "In other words, he didn't have so much thought at the age of twenty-eight.

"It's human nature. Han Gang just said the last sentence according to common sense, maybe there are really sages who are willing to live behind the scenes and are unwilling to take credit. ”

"How can there be such a person!" Wang Hou shook his head and made wedding clothes for others, but if it was him, he didn't do it, "So Yukun, what do you mean by using Shiyi?" ”

"Shiyi is also the same, and you still have to get the principal from Qinzhou...... It means that as long as Li Shizhong is still in Qinzhou, don't think about doing anything. Han Gang reminded Wang Shao that he had to turn his face when he should turn his face, and he couldn't have illusions about Li Shizhong, "First pass the request to establish the Guwei army, although Li Shizhong will inevitably oppose it, and it will be difficult for the DPRK and China to agree, but then you can take a step back and apply for Yihe Tuntian in Weiyuan or Guwei City." ”

"Yukun, you also said it earlier, Li Jingluo will definitely oppose it."

"Then take a step back, choose one from the city or tuntian, and then report to the court."

"What if Li Shizhong still opposes it?!"

Wang Hou felt that Han Gang might have drunk too much, and what he said was a bit upside down and inconsistent. But Wang Shao laughed loudly, laughed, and his face turned cold: "At that time, the Son of Heaven should know who is interfering with the opening of the river......

ps: In the past dynasties, the Song Dynasty was the most difficult, because the biggest enemy of the generals was never outside, but inside.
