[I'm really sorry for all book friends, and I'm off for another day.] For more than two months, it has been intermittent, and it can't be updated on time, and it can't be done to make up for it, and the character is lost. However, the 80-day study has finally come to an end, and yesterday I had a casual meal, and today I held a final report meeting, which can be regarded as a complete merit. Starting next month, the book's updates will basically be back to normal. 】

The main streets and alleys in Taiyuan New Town, there are very few cross streets that are horizontal and vertical, and run through all directions, which is where the state government is located, and it is also a T-shaped road with broken heads. Such an urban pattern is good for street fighting, but when defending the city wall, it adds a lot of trouble to the back and forth dispatch of the defenders.

In addition, Han Gang estimated that Zhao Guangyi had another calculation, and the disorderly planning of the city was also a huge obstacle to the development of the city. Perhaps Emperor Taizong thought that it was impossible for the city built in this way to develop to the scale of the past.

Zhao Guangyi's behavior, if Han Gang is allowed to evaluate, the comment is only extremely stupid - it is definitely an extremely stupid practice!

When the Jin Dynasty returned to China, Taiyuan was the northern gateway to Kaifeng. Abandon the old fortified city with the solidity of mountains and rivers and the danger of moats, and move to the northeast of the Fenhe River to rebuild the new city, once the northern enemy invades the south, it will be much easier to capture it.

Even if Han Gang doesn't know history anymore, decades later, he still remembers the loss of half of the world. From the perspective of the geographical strategy of Hedong, Shaanxi and the Central Plains, if Taiyuan is not lost, Shaanxi can sit back and relax. Hedong and Shaanxi are all there, and even if the Jin people occupy Hebei, they can only plunder southward at most, and it is impossible to occupy the Central Plains smoothly.

But then again, if you have a few faint gentlemen, it is useless to have any natural risks. For the survival of the family and country, where the city of Taiyuan is built is not a crucial thing.

In the future, if it were not for the Daojun Emperor who was good at calligraphy and painting to ascend the throne, it would not be so easy for the Great Song Dynasty to be defeated.

…… But it's too early to think about these things.

Han Gang suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, leaving the doormen and officials in the hall at a loss as to what they meant.

Han Gang shook his head and looked at the official documents on the table. All of them were sent from the counties and prisons under his rule, and there were more than 100 large and small affairs that were urgently needed to be handled by him, the prefect, and this was only the weight of one day—although some of them were due to the reconciliation of summer taxes and the war, but even in peacetime, at least half of the amount.

Seeing this pile of official documents on the table, you can see how stupid Emperor Taizong's decision was.

Even if Zhao Guangyi hated Taiyuan, which had repeatedly become a stronghold of traitors, the geographical superiority made Taiyuan's development not shift due to people's hearts.

After more than 100 years of development, today's Taiyuan is already a large state capital with 150,000 households and a total population of about 780,000.

The state capital, with a population of nearly one million, is no more than the other four capitals except for Tokyo. So just last year, Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, had to issue an edict to upgrade the state to a sub-government and rename it Taiyuan Mansion. And Han Gang is the third prefect of Taiyuan since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty - the first is Pan Mei, the prototype of Pan Renmei in the Yang family, and he then destroyed Taiyuan and merged the state; The second is Han Gang's predecessor Sun Yong, and the third is Han Gang.

Han Gang didn't feel much honored about this, just like a student who had just spent the holidays, he was even a little unaccustomed to the current busyness, and he missed the easy days in the Herd Division.

It's also a problem of their own staff and doormen who can't help much. Han Gang smiled bitterly as he quickly reviewed the official documents. The family has always done a lot of practical things, and the people below have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions and win officials, and their chances of getting a death are even comparable to those of the guests under the deacon. After a little ability, after his first term, all of them were recommended, and the worst could also be a scholar and receive a court salary. The rest are much inferior, and they are not reliable.

There is also a group of newcomers, all of whom are Qi disciples, who are useless at all for a while, so they can only arrange for them to take a look at the city defense and warehouse first, and then let them experience life in the yamen, and they have to be cultivated slowly. And you have to keep an eye on them at all times, so as not to be deceived by the officials, otherwise your own family will also be involved.

It is also that the background of Guan Xue is too shallow, and Mr. Hengqu's name has only been passed down to the world for a few years, and he only enjoyed a good reputation in Guanzhong before. And Sergeant Guan has very few names on the yellow list, in order to give them a chance to advance, Han Gang can only vacate the position around him. In a few years, the scholars who pass on Qi learning will no longer be dominated by the Guanzhong people, and at that time, Han Gang will be able to worry about it.

However, there are two sides to the matter, the staff members you have cultivated can always be more reassuring, and it is easy to cooperate with them after they get started.

It was busy until the third watch, and Han Gang finally finished reviewing all the official documents. Rubbing his sour and swollen eyes, Han Gang listened to the sound of drums outside and went to bed. Pillowed on the rattan pillow, Han Gang was still thinking about whether there would be any problems with the official documents he had reviewed today.

It wasn't until the drums of the fourth watch that Han Gang was suddenly startled, and he only had two hours to sleep at most. If you continue like this, you have to learn from Sima Guang, get a log to make a pillow, and when you slip down from sleep and wake up, then continue to do things.

With a sigh, Han Gang forcibly emptied the thoughts in his mind and counted the sheep to put himself to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after the fifth watch, Han Gang woke up to the sound of roosters. Although I only slept for a little more than two hours, after taking a cold shower, I was refreshed, which is the benefit of being young. It's just that when Han Gang walked into the public hall, he reluctantly found that on his table, the official documents of all parties had built up the city wall again.

Today is not the day of the court. Sitting down behind the table, Han Gang looked at the piled up paperwork in a daze. After a month or two of familiarizing himself with the inside and outside of Taiyuan Mansion, he will be able to know where many things should be pushed, at least for now, he still needs to understand Taiyuan Mansion through these official documents, and he can't hand it over to the officials below.

After Maozheng, Li Xian came to report, and Han Gang was able to take the opportunity to get out of the Kumon hell. The two exchanged pleasantries, and then waited for Han Gang to greet Li Xian's family, and finally got down to business.

"Mituo Cave and Jialuchuan four villages, there are 40,000 soldiers and horses in Hedong, and it is not easy to transport grain and grass, and it is not necessary in today's situation. Is it convenient to transfer 30,000 yuan back first? Leaving 6,000 cavalry and 4,000 foot soldiers in Mida Cave is enough to aid Xiazhou if necessary and hold Mida Cave! ”

Han Gang and Li Xian had a discussion, this was his face, Li Xian didn't dare to take it big, nodded and said: "As long as Long Tu gives the order, the last general will follow the order." ”

Li Xian was so knowledgeable, and the smile on Han Gang's face was a little more: "Actually, everyone knows that the dispatch on his body is to control the soldiers and horses in Hedong, and he doesn't have to stay in Mida Cave. Now that the Liao people are ready to move in Datong, if they all know that they can sit in Daizhou, Hangang will rest assured that they will be in the north. ”

Han Gang didn't think that the north could fight, but by throwing Li Xian to Daizhou, he could take the opportunity to meddle in the military affairs west of the Yellow River. Otherwise, there will always be many inconveniences on the first floor of Li Xian.

"Long Tu is famous, how dare Li Xian disobey." Li Xian has long wanted to get out of the Northwest Battlefield, Han Gang is equivalent to giving him a ladder to step down, where would he be unwilling, but there are some things he needs to explain, "However, Xu Xi Xu Zhige, who is military and planning side affairs on Yan Yanlu, he sent a letter to the last general the day before yesterday, wanting to mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses......"

"What is it for?" Han Gang's heart became vigilant, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

"Haven't you heard of Long Tu," Li Xian always felt that the seed should ventilate to Han Gang, at least Han Gang was there, and maybe he could suppress Xu Xi's blind movement, "Xu Zhige wants to hold Yanzhou and occupy the entire Silver Summer Land." ”

Han Gang's heart skipped a beat, and his right palm clenched the armrest.

You have to send someone to the planter to ask for clarification! Han Gang thought with a little annoyance. If Xu Xi is really stupid, he has to try to stop it.

Han Gang was anxious in his heart, but what he said was just an understatement: "I didn't expect Xu Xi to be so greedy." ”

Li Xian's scrutinizing gaze swept over Han Gang, but he saw that Han Gang's expression was still the same, and his joy and anger were invisible, but he really didn't show any flaws. "Xu is watching that the Hanhai is difficult to cross, so he has nothing to fear. It's just that the two roads were defeated, and the other roads were successfully withdrawn back, relatively speaking, the losses of the Western Xia were much greater, in this case, as long as the consumption continued, the Western Xia would definitely not be able to support it. ”

Han Gang's mood was even worse. I have said many times that the Hanhai Sea is difficult to cross, and it is the same for the Song and Xia countries, as long as they occupy Yinxia, they can gradually trap the Western Xia. Maybe these words unfortunately became Xu Xi's evidence. If Xu Xi used these words to justify his actions, it would really make people feel extremely unhappy.

Moreover, Xu Xi and Lu Huiqing have a close relationship, and it should not be difficult to get the approval of the Son of Heaven through Lu Huiqing.

Now that Wang Qi is defeated in Lingzhou, the saint is in great decline, and Lu Huiqing is proud, maybe he will be able to pay homage to the prime minister after a while. With his support, if Xu Xi really wants to protect Yanzhou, he will probably be able to give him his wish.

"I don't know how much Xu Dezhan can achieve?" Han Gang asked, he wanted to know what Li Xian thought.

"This is the same as the situation in the original attack on Lingzhou, it's not that you can't win, but it's not worth taking that risk." Li Xian said frankly, "Now Da Song can't afford to take risks." ”

Li Xian and Han Gang's views can be said to be very similar. After the defeat of Lingzhou, the vast majority of people agreed with Guo Kui and Han Gang's predictions, with the exception of Xu Xi. If it wasn't Li Xian lying, it would be Xu Xi who wanted to make meritorious service and wanted to go crazy.

However, in the case of the defeat of Lingzhou and the defeat of thousands of horses, if he really defended Yanzhou and blocked the western thieves in the Hanhai, it is needless to say that he will become famous in one fell swoop. But the risk to be taken in such a situation is by no means much smaller than the previous attack on Lingzhou.

Although it is not within the scope of his authority, since Han Gang has heard about it, it is his duty to stop it. But...... Han Gang glanced at Li Xian very vaguely, the key is to determine whether Xu Xi is really stupid. If you don't have a royal history, you can hear about it, and if you listen to the wind and rain, you have to make people laugh at yourself for being too unstable.

In fact, Han Gang was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the temper of the seed is that Xu Xi has a secret edict in his hand, and he will not give up. However, I can't say for sure, after all, he is a military general, and if he wants to compete with Xu Xi, who has a lot of reputation, I'm afraid he is still a little empty in his heart.
