Song valve text]——

But then again, you can't accuse Orihiko of being unkind and unrighteous. The Zhe family has its own special history, they are aliens, party members, although the Great Song Dynasty has always been quite enlightened in ethnic policy, but it is not my race, its heart must be different, even if the Han people don't care, the Zhe family itself cares about it tightly.

Over the years, the power of the Zhe family has grown and grown, although it is only located in the corner of Jiangnan West Road, but the strong generals under its command are gathered, and they are close to the center of Hangzhou, which is easy to arouse suspicion. King Lin did this, it was also a move of self-preservation, and he had to do it as a last resort, but he did not mean to pull others into the water.

Moreover, with his reputation and prestige today, he is absolutely unwilling to defend the frontier again. Therefore, Xu Wei suspected that his move also meant to retreat as advance, which Xu Liang also vaguely mentioned in the letter. But Zhang Qing and Ma Kuo didn't seem to see it.

"That's not a good sign." As Zhang Qing spoke, he looked at Xu Wei. Who has the most soldiers in their hands today? Whose troops are the best to fight? Who has the largest jurisdiction? Of course, Xu Weichuan and Shaanxi are also in charge of Hedong, which is worth half of the country, right? The 200,000 Western Army is only a regular army, not counting the armed forces such as archers, soldiers, brave soldiers, and village soldiers. Over the past 10 years or so, the Western Army has recovered so much lost territory and annihilated so many enemies that it is difficult for other fraternal units to match.

If the imperial court wants to do this, who dares to guarantee that King Xu Jun can stay out of it? It is true that there are people in the Xu Wei Dynasty, and Sichuan and Shaanxi are also far away from Jiangnan, but don't forget that under the whole world, it is not the king's land. Even if Sichuan and Shaanxi are far away from the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court whip is beyond the reach, but you must know that it is divided into time and situation. In the past, the Jin army took Jiangnan as the target of attack, and the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself, and of course it could not take care of the west. Once the war is over and the wolf smoke is extinguished, who knows what will happen next.

Therefore, this line is sorted out, and it presents such a state. The situation is forced - borrowing military ministers - the threat is eliminated - the contradiction is changed - the troops are withdrawn and the power is dismissed. Even, if it is just a collection of troops and a dismissal, it is still a relatively good ending, there are too many precedents in history, and the final outcome of the generals with heavy troops is often not only lost power, but also lost their heads.

In order to escape this law, the ancestors of history used these two methods. First, rebellion. This kind of person is reluctant to lose power, and even more reluctant to lose his life, so when he is "helpless", he can only come out and strive to be the boss by himself; Second, self-harm. This kind of person is often more tolerant, after the success, he is very good at coming to things, taking the initiative to Jiāo soldier Jiāo right, and then closing the m-n thank you, not having any dealings with anyone, being an otaku, so that the upper can see, I am like this, can you still bear to kill me?

What kind of person is Xu Wei?

Ma Kuo obviously understood the reason, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Indeed." However, the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi is special and cannot be generalized. Anyone who wants to use this brain has to think about it before, how can hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves be able to suppress it? ”

Zhang Qing shook his head slightly: "That's it? I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

"Not enough?" Ma Kuo suddenly smiled, and there was a bit of a smug expression, as if to say, although you and I are now on an equal footing, when I step into the officialdom, you are only afraid that you will still follow King Xu Jun to tease the daiming in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Zhang Qing noticed his appearance, and also asked with a smile: "What is Brother Zichong's opinion?" ”

"I know, you mean to say that before the king came to Shaanxi, the Western Army had existed for many years, and at that time, it was still used to command the troops with Wenchen, and I didn't see that the bullets couldn't be suppressed, right?" Ma Kuo asked first.

Zhang Qing nodded and acknowledged.

"But the Western Army today is not the same as it was 20 years ago. At that time, although the imperial court's 'change of military methods' did not work in Shaanxi, the commanders of all walks of life changed frequently, except for the Zhe family and the Yao family. Therefore, it was difficult for the commanders of the Western Army at that time to form any climate. But now it's different, which one of the six handsome people in Shaanxi hasn't stayed in the handsome position for many years? Who will be able to control these people? ”

"There is a more important point, the original troops of the Yan Shuai Division have basically been tossed up, and now they are the new army led by Xu Jingluo; Needless to say, Yongxing Shuaisi was completely separated from the Hujie army; Jingyuan Army has been operated by Xu Taiwei and his son (Xu Mao Xu Yuan) for many years; Coupled with the Qin Feng Shuai Division in the hands of the Great King, these four divisions account for the vast majority of the strength of the Western Army, and there is no problem in advancing and retreating together, right? Whoever wants to fight the idea of the king, can not fail to take this into account. ”

"Although Huanqing Liu Guangshi is not quite on the right path with us, his influence on Huanqingjun is probably not interesting. The troops were brought out by Quduan, and the bottom half was the old part of Quduan, and half was carried by the king, so he was not afraid of turning up l-ng. Xihe Yao Dashuai is a little tricky, but with the relationship between the king and him, I believe he will not do anything about the post. In this way, even if the imperial court wants to do something, it has to think about it in advance, can it accept the possible situation? ”

Xu Wei listened to it and smiled: "Brother Zichong, that's what I said." But it didn't get to that far, did it? He said this in a vague way, and the implication was that what you said had a hypothetical premise, that is, the imperial court and the Sichuan and Shaanxi dynasties had become antagonistic, and the contradictions were deepening, and even almost jī. Now, apparently, there is no way to that step.

Ma Kuo did not deny this, but reminded: "Those who are good at fighting, do not worry about victory, think about defeat first, and prepare for the worst." ”

"King Lin's matter, there is just such a sign, of course it is right to take precautions, but this is not the most important thing now. At the moment, what we have to do is to shift our minds from fighting the war to internal affairs, and not let the people resent us. Xu Wei said.

Zhang Qing and Ma Kuo understood what he meant, and nodded frequently.

"You have recently discussed this matter with your colleagues in the Xuanfu Disposal Department, and if necessary, several senior officials from Sichuan can also be invited to talk, and let Zhang Deyuan be specifically responsible for this matter." Xu Wei instructed.

Zhang Qing suddenly took a breath and asked tentatively: "King, you should preside over it yourself, Zhang Jun may not be suitable." "He didn't make something out of nothing, the relationship between Zhang Jun and Xu Wei has always been good, as a staff member, he is conscientious, and he is also very effective in assisting King Xu. But don't forget, Zhang Jun is a member of the central government, don't think that he is his own person after working with us for a long time.

Boldly guess, if the imperial court really plans to do it one day in the future, Zhang Deyuan is definitely an important chess piece. To put it bluntly, if the imperial court does not want to let King Xu Jun preside over the military administration of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the future, then who will the imperial court let take over this position? Is there anyone else besides Zhang Jun? Therefore, from now on, I am afraid that I must guard against Zhang Jun and don't let him manage too widely.

Xu Wei waved his hand: "There's nothing inappropriate, it's so decided." ”
