Chapter 436

"This is imperative, if the Western Army is not united, how can we expel the Beiyi?" Xu Wei nodded. Although during this period, the Yongxing Army Marshal Division and Qin Feng Shuai Si under his command were all fighting alone with the Jurchens and had never been defeated, Zijin Hu did not think that he could drive the Jurchens out by himself alone.

When Xu Shao heard this, he looked directly at his nephew, and said with a smile: "Ziang, you have to fully support your uncle in this matter." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, his heart jumped for no reason. How does this say? You are the envoy of Shaanxi Xuanfu and the number one military and political leader, Yu Gong, you are my direct boss, Yu Zhi, and you are my uncle, no matter what the reason, I should obey your moderation. How can you say such a sentence in one fell swoop?

As soon as he thought of this, he was shocked: "Why did the third uncle say this? This ......"

Xu Shao laughed, waved his hand, and said, "The third uncle is just joking, don't take it seriously." There are no outsiders here, so my uncle will tell you directly. Before I arrived in Shaanxi, I was thinking about how to unify the command of the Western Army. First of all, the Western Army fought separately, to a large extent, because in Shaanxi alone, there were six economic and strategic pacification divisions, and these six divisions were not subordinate to each other. The original intention of the imperial court was to contain each other and avoid some trouble. However, in this way, it has also created a situation in which military orders are not smooth and they pass the buck to each other. To solve this problem, it is necessary to abolish the six-way marshal"

This is not difficult, Shaanxi originally had five roads, and then added Shaanxi and Hua 1 Road, a total of six roads. Now, the two roads of Yanyan and Shaanxi have been occupied by the Jin army, and some areas of the Yongxing army have also fallen, and it is definitely easier to integrate than the original six roads. It's just that if you abolish the commander, you must have an organization to manage the army, right? From this point of view, the third uncle should want to merge.

Xu Weigang thought so, and listened to Xu Shaodao: "What I mean, with the current situation in Shaanxi, it is enough to have two or three unified army divisions below the Xuanfu Disposal Division. On this matter, I have already played Zhenjiang Xing, and have been approved. The areas controlled by our army in Shaanxi were redivided into three divisions. That is, North Shaanxi Road, South Shaanxi Road, West Shaanxi Road. The northern Shaanxi route was merged with the original Huanqingjing original two roads. The southern Shaanxi route is composed of the original Qinfeng Road and the four prefectures of Yao, Fang, Ning and Pi, plus Jingzhao Prefecture. Shaanxi West Road maintains the original defense area of Xihe Road. ”

Although Xu Wei guessed that the third uncle's idea was to reintegrate the areas currently controlled by the Song army in Shaanxi, he did not expect that it would actually abolish the Jingluo Pacification Division and redivide the three Recruitment Divisions. He is no stranger to recruiting Si, because he has been a deputy envoy in the past. The power to solicit this dispatch is very great, and if you don't report it in time, you can make an arbitrary decision on the spot, and cut it first and then play. And the most important point is to recruit all civil and military officials in the jurisdiction to control them, and to be serious feudal officials

But this seems to be contrary to the purpose of unified command, right? If you can make your own decisions about anything, then why do you want to preach and deal with it? The matter of Shaanxi has been completed with the three envoys, isn't it equivalent to putting the Xuanfu disposal envoy in the air? And in this way, it is easier to create a situation of self-respect and lawlessness in Zhenjiang Xing, which group of people have made the warm wind in Jiangnan blow dizzy? Can you promise such a thing? Could it be that the third uncle has other arrangements?

"Of course, the three envoys of Shaanxi are only taken from the table compared with the original dispatch. The so-called solicitation is the intention of the Son of Heaven to curry favor with lawlessness and disobedience, which is a deterrent for the Jurchens. However, the envoy is only in charge of the army, and does not interfere in political affairs except for the prefectures and prefectures under his own control. There is no right to act cheaply, and everything is subject to the judgment of the Xuanfu Division. Lao Jiu, what do you think? ”

"In this way, the organization is streamlined, which is conducive to the smooth flow of military orders. Comparatively speaking, the concentration of military power is conducive to a rapid response when facing the enemy. It's a feasible strategy," Xu Wei replied. For him, this matter basically did not change, because he had long been in charge of Qin Feng 1st Road and part of Yongxing Military Road, but it was just a different name. Although Xu Shao did not say it explicitly, who is Xu Weiqi on South Shaanxi Road?

"Well, there are three recruitment divisions, northern Shaanxi is the main defender, southern Shaanxi is the main attack, and Shaanxi West Road is used as a backup. I estimate that after you fight this battle, the Jurchens will have to be honest for a while. It just so happened that I would take this opportunity to rectify the Western Army. At the same time, borrowing the country of abundance in Sichuan to reserve grain and salary. Or two or three years, or three or five years, when Shaanxi is politically harmonious and the western army is strong and strong, a large-scale counteroffensive, driven north out of Shaanxi, and then pointed to the two rivers If so, the restoration of the homeland can be expected to be immortal" Xu Shao was full of confidence, his eyes were blazing, showing superhuman ambition

Xu Wei got up and clenched his fists: "My nephew is willing to do all my best to help my uncle"

"Among the nephews of the Jiuxu family, you are the youngest, but your uncle has a lot of money for you...... Hey, with your Purple Gold Tiger's prestige and military exploits today, I have made my uncle proud, alas, but my two unsuccessful ones can't compare with you. Xu Shao said with a smile.

"The third uncle is too modest, and the sixth brother is on business with his uncle, and he has benefited a lot. The fifth brother was stationed in Dingrong, Shaanzhou, and when his nephew soldiers went out of the Guanzhong Plain a few days ago, they had to be helped by the fifth brother. The two elder brothers are both literate and martial, and they are both heroes among people. Xu Wei also smiled.

Xu Shao waved his hand and didn't say too much on this topic. After a pause, he said: "In addition to abolishing the Commander Division and setting up the Recruitment Division, the rectification of the Western Army also involves one item, that is, the establishment of the troops directly under the Xuanfu Disposal Division. In the past, the troops were all under the control of the six commanders, and although the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division was in charge of the military and government, when the real thing came, there was often not a single soldier in the hand, but it was constrained by the commanders of all roads. Of course, there are also historical origins here, and local officials in Shaanxi have always been resistant to sending personnel to Tokyo. In order to eradicate this stubborn disease, it is quite necessary to set up troops directly under the Propaganda and Disposal Department. What does Ziang think? ”

That's the point

Set up directly subordinate troops, that is, Xuanfu disposes of them so that they must have soldiers in their hands. In this way, it is a deterrent both internally and externally. It seems that the third uncle really wants to "play" Shaanxi, but now the western army is in the hands of the eldest brother, himself, and the king of Xihe, Wang Yiwang, and the third uncle himself wants to command the army, where does it come from? Isn't it from the three of us? I don't have an opinion, I originally divided the fourth brother and three armies to guard Qin Feng, and the three uncles of the three armies took it. But it's hard to say about the eldest brother and the king of Xihe. Will they be willing to divide their soldiers?

Don't look at the eldest brother is also the nephew of the third uncle, but if you can't put it on the table, you are relatively close to the third uncle in this room. The eldest brother has been following the uncle in Shaanxi, and there is little contact with the two uncles, if it weren't for the king of Tokyo Qin, it would be normal to be afraid that he would not see each other for more than ten years. Moreover, the eldest brother is a pure "old-style" Western army general in terms of his style of conduct and way of thinking, and they often regard the troops as more important than the territory. He is his cousin, and when he came to Shaanxi to defend his territory and participate in the Dingrong War, he suffered a lot of losses. However, when he withdrew, he had replenished enough money from the township soldiers he had trained in Dingrong

In addition, when the Dingrong War broke out, before he rushed to reinforcements, it is said that when the crisis came, the Jingyuan army showed signs of abandoning friendly forces and retreating. I never mentioned this matter, nor did I poke it at the time of the Xuanfu Division. But through these, it is not difficult to see that even the third uncle is probably ......

"Ziang? Ziang? Xu Shao's repeated calls pulled Xu Wei back from his thoughts. How? Do you think this is inappropriate? ”

"Naturally not, this matter is indeed necessary, and my nephew fully supports it." Xu Wei replied.

"Okay, after your eldest brother and King Xihe arrive, we will discuss it in detail." Xu Shao said this and stood up. "If all this is implemented smoothly, the appearance of the Western Army will be completely new, so why be afraid of the Jurchen Beiyi?"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a voice sound outside: "Ninth brother and ninth brother"

Xu Wei looked for prestige, but saw that it was Xu Liu who came back. Then he got up and stepped forward to greet him: "Sixth brother." ”

Xu Liang strode forward, put his arm around his cousin's shoulder, and said happily: "The first battle in Huazhou, earth-shattering, brother I heard that the Jin people have a branch known as the elite of the elite, what is it called'Tiefutu', under your command, the whole army will be wiped out, and the purple gold tiger is really not called in vain."

"Shame and shame, kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, and win like defeat." Xu Wei shook his head and said.

"Hey, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, you level the Guanzhong Plain in one fell swoop, who doesn't shout? From the army to defend the country, it is inevitable that there will be a day when the horse leather shroud, that is where the duty lies, and you have to mourn. Brother Wei originally planned to go to the front line in person to offer condolences, but it was delayed temporarily. By the way, have you ever met the fourth brother? Xu Liang looked unusually kind, as if the person standing in front of him was his own brother who had played since he was a child.

Xu Wei didn't seem to be very used to it, and said lightly: "After entering the city, arrange the pavilion, and then go to the Xuanfu Disposal Division to report, and then come to visit the third uncle and three aunts, but I haven't had time yet." ”

"The eldest brother is like a father, the second uncle is gone, your brother and sister-in-law should be more respectful. Daddy, right? Xu Liang said with a smile.

"That's right, Lao Jiu, I wanted to keep you for dinner. But it is reasonable, you should visit your fourth brother and sister-in-law, and I won't keep you. Xu Shao said.

After hearing this, Xu Wei said goodbye to his uncle and cousin. Xu Shao ordered Xu Liuxiang to send him, and the latter kept sending Xu Wei to Ma Naizhi until Xu Wei's figure disappeared into the street, and he turned around and returned to the mansion.

"Dad, what is Lao Jiu's attitude?" As soon as he stepped into the study, Xu Liang asked straight to the point.

Xu Shao nodded frequently: "Lao Jiu is sensible and clearly expresses his full support." ”

"That is, if it weren't for my father's support, the ninth brother would not be where he is today, and of course he should give his full support." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Shao became serious: "That's not true, I think Lao Jiu has been fighting in various places non-stop all these years, he has today, to be honest, I didn't help much as an uncle." One is because of the deliberate cultivation of the official family, and the other is because of his own ability. Don't take everything for granted, remember, your cousin is not a general, in the future, your two brothers must be consistent, understand? ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and didn't seem to understand why his father suddenly said this seriously, but he still responded: "Remember." ”

On the other side, Xu Wei went to visit his brother and sister-in-law again. After not seeing each other for a long time, Xu Sheng and Xu Wang were naturally overjoyed when they saw their brother coming. Knowing that he had won the battle, they were all happy for him, and because of the death of Mattei, they couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. That night, Xu Sheng said that he would leave his younger brother at home for dinner and overnight, and Xu Wei naturally did not refuse.

When the two brothers were drunk, Xu Sheng mentioned more than once that the third uncle took care of him very much, and the sixth brother often came to the house to walk around. Even this mansion was personally arranged by Xu Liang, and he often sent people to send people to the east and west every three or five times, which made people feel so moved. Xu Wei just listened and didn't express any opinions.

There was nothing else to do the next day, but Xu Wei's official dispatch was Qin Fengshuai, and it was inevitable that he would inspect the military camp and visit the soldiers with Xu Sheng.

On the third day, it was the deadline for the convening of the Propaganda and Disposal Division. Xu Wei had just had breakfast when Yao Pingzhong came. The guy was very polite, saying that he was here to visit Xu Jingluo. Xu Wei knew that sooner or later, he was going to take over the position of Xihe, and he didn't have the habit of holding the big one, so he talked nonsense with him for a while. He also focused on the war in Huazhou, and exchanged ideas with each other for a long time, and then Yao Xiyan said goodbye and left.

He is benevolent and righteous, and Xu Wei is also benevolent and righteous, and personally sent him out. Because of Xu Wei's level, it is impossible for him to live in a wing room like an ordinary official, he lives in an independent courtyard in the pavilion, and the door is guarded by personal soldiers. Even if Yao Pingzhong wants to come to see him, he also needs the guards to pass it on first.

But Xu Weicai returned to the room after sending Yao Pingzhong back, when he heard someone's footsteps outside, and then a knock on the door sounded, and a voice said outside: "Is Xu Jingluo there?" ”

Xu Weixin said, who is this? Why did the soldier come in without a message? When they come to my door, they do not know how to report themselves to the door. Then he stepped forward and opened the door, and looked, who are you? His cousin, Xu Yan. Xu Yan didn't care, Xu Wei looked at it, and Xu Da stood behind his son.

"Big brother," Xu Wei called out in surprise.

"Haha, the ninth brother wants to be a brother," Xu Yuan stepped into the door and was a bear hug. Then he slapped his cousin on the shoulder hard. "You're still doing this, you almost didn't stab Lou Su's heart to make my brother so fascinated haha"

Xu Yuan didn't change at all, his voice was as loud as thunder.

Xu Wei waved his hand: "Small things, small things, come on, brother, please." Xu Yan, come on, come on, come in and talk. ”

After Xu Yan followed, he made a gesture to kowtow to Xu Wei, and shouted in his mouth: "My nephew has greeted my uncle." This head is lowered, but the legs are not bent at all, just wait for Uncle Jiu to say "exempt", and immediately straightened up.

The two brothers Xu Da and Xu Jiu sat down, and Xu Yan accompanied the last seat. Xu Yuan took off his head, threw it on the table, and asked, "Ninth brother, you have come back this time, tell me about it?" I've heard that the 'Iron Float' made you unable to ride at all? Hey, is there a difference between the 'Iron Floating Massacre' and the 'Iron Harrier' of the party members? ”

After Xu Weigang finished talking to Yao Pingzhong, he didn't want to turn over the old yellow calendar, so he changed the topic and said: "This is time to talk, eldest brother, have you been to the third uncle's mansion?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything. Xu Yan interjected from the side: "Uncle Nine, my nephew asks more, when Uncle Nine went to the uncle's mansion, what did Xuanfu Xianggong say?" ”

Xu Wei guessed the ** points in his heart, but he pretended to be confused with understanding, and frowned: "What do you say?" What's going on? ”

"Hehe, why does Uncle Nine ask knowingly? Naturally, it's about putting things in order. Xu Yan smiled.

Xu Wei saw that Xu Yuan was a little unhappy in his expression, and sighed: "This matter, Xuanfu Xianggong has mentioned it." It is said that it intends to abolish the Department of Economic Strategy and Pacification and set up a Department of Recruitment. Among them, Jingyuan Huanqing Road was merged into the North Shaanxi Road Recruitment Division. Although the candidate for this recruitment is not specified, is there anyone else besides the eldest brother? ”

Xu Yan interjected again: "South Shaanxi Road, apart from Uncle Jiu, who else dares to carry this burden?" ”

Xu Wei glanced at him, chuckled, and did not respond. At this time, Xu Dadao: "Ninth brother, this matter is easy to say, there is another one." ”

"Brother, but you said that you want to set up a force directly under the Xuanfu Disposal Division?" Xu Wei asked.

"That's what the third uncle means, it's clear that he has soldiers in his own hands, I don't understand, what is he worried about in the hands of our brothers? He's our dear uncle, can we not look at him? What's the use of doing this? I broke a lot of soldiers and horses all the way to Jingyuan, and now I have taken over the mess of Huanqing, where can I divide my troops to him? Xu Yuan was indignant.

Xu Wei was just about to speak, but Xu Da said again: "The sixth child is also beating the side drum and playing the board there."

Xu Wei was shocked and immediately asked, "Big brother, how do you express yourself with the third uncle?" ”

Before Xu Yuan could say anything, Xu Yan interjected again: "Uncle Jiu, how do you express your attitude?" ”

Xu Wei finally became popular, why is this guy so virtuous? I talk to your father, what do you keep interjecting? You're your father's spokesman, huh? I thought I was born a mother, why is there such a big difference?

But seeing Xu Da's face, Xu Wei didn't directly reprimand him, but said: "By the way, Xu Cheng also came to Qinzhou with me this time, in the pavilion." Your brother has not been seen for a long time, go and see him, and let the sergeant take you. ”

Xu Yan was obviously an uninteresting person, and he had no intention of moving at all, and he was still chattering there: "I'm not in a hurry." Uncle Nine, we can get ...... this time"

Xu Yuan probably noticed that his cousin was a little annoyed, and immediately reprimanded his son: "Do you understand the rules? Do you have the right to interject when I talk to your ninth uncle? Since your brother has come to Qinzhou, why don't you go to see him? Go go and be less noisy"

Xu Yan ate this training, then got up and saluted and went out. As soon as he left, Xu Yuan smiled: "Ninth brother, don't be as knowledgeable as the younger generation, this fight grew up in the barracks, and there is no unity, so I laughed." ”

Xu Wei said that it was okay, and asked him how he behaved.

Xu Yuan didn't answer, but complained: "Alas, Huanqing's stall is really tricky. It's all his mother's old part, and the top of the flowery intestines makes me anxious, at this time, the third uncle is going to draw troops, doesn't this make me embarrassed? But what's the solution? In the public office, he is the Xuanfu disposer, in private, and it is my uncle. I can't refuse him face to face, I just say that the situation is really complicated, please be considerate of the minister. ”

"What did the third uncle say?" Xu Wei asked again.

"The third uncle didn't say anything at the time, but just said that I should go to the pavilion to rest first, and the matter will be discussed when it is officially discussed." Xu Yuan replied.
