Chapter 8: Seeking to Rebuild the Old Land (Part II)

"Xiaoyi, your martial arts are also famous in the world, use you as a pioneer, no one can say a word on the road."

Wang Sunchen's heart was like a charcoal fire, and a few words of praise from Chongpu were like a breeze that fanned over, making the fire burn more vigorously, "I will go to Suide today to straighten out the soldiers and horses and teach the soldiers a lesson." As long as Gorou gives an order, I will go to Luo Wu City, which is occupied by the Western Thieves. ”

"There's no hurry. I have to go to see it first, and then I will talk about it after receiving the general's order. ”

Although it has been decided that this time the Hengshan raiders will be led by Chong Ge, but now the newly appointed Wu Xin is Wang Sunchen's justifiable top boss. And according to today's practice, several generals of the unified army along the way, the governor, the capital supervisor, and the capital inspection, are all independent, and they can even resist the orders of the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses. As long as they honestly obey the orders of the commander of the road as civil officials, no one can charge them with disobeying military orders.

"I understand, I understand." Wang Sunchen touched his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, he was indeed anxious.

"This offensive against Hengshan must be stable, the ordnance, money and food must be planned, and the soldiers and generals must also be reorganized, and it will take about three or four months, and when it comes to autumn and winter, it is just right to have a face-to-face battle. Xiao Yi, you also need time to receive the soldiers and horses of the seventh general......" Chong Pu further explained to Wang Sunchen, "During this time, the north of Yanzhou also depends on you to defend it. Don't lose for a while before we play. Once you suffer such a big loss, it is not so easy to recover it. ”

The seed is in Huanqing, and the kind of friendship is in Jingyuan, which can help the seed in the main direction of attack in Dunyan Road. Although there is no Xuanfu Division, there seems to be a problem with the cooperation, but the brothers of the seed family are now on the front line of the enemy, and the brothers are fighting, how can the brothers not help? The breeder pressed the treasure on the mountain, and finally got the opportunity to get it again, and he couldn't make a mistake.

"I know what to do." Wang Sunchen put away his smile and became serious, "Wulang, Brother Seventeen, if you put a hundred hearts, I will definitely do a few things well." ”

Chong Ge nodded with satisfaction, and Chong Pu said with a smile, "With Xiaoyi's words, where is there anything you don't worry about?" ”

Wang Sunchen also laughed twice and said a few more modest words.

"By the way, I heard that this time to capture Hengshan, Third Brother Han will come to Yanyan to take care of the grain and medicine of the whole army. Is there such a thing? Wang Sunsin asked the question he had been asking for a long time.

Chong Mo pondered for a moment and said: "Han Yukun knows the soldiers, not the kind who stands in front of the sand table and points out, but really leads the troops to govern the army." I've always been optimistic about him since he became an official, but I didn't expect him to rise so fast! In a few years, I will be able to come over and be the chief of the military and horses. ”

Hearing that Han Gang was praised, Wang Sunchen also felt honored. The lifelong friendship formed in the process of escorting grain and grass is now even more inseparable: "When Brother Seventeen wrote a letter, he said it. Therefore, Gorou has a good eye for people, and he has the same good eyesight as the old lady. ”

Chong Pu said on the side: "Wang Da, look at this bookshelf, my father is looking through Han Yukun's books, which is no less than when he reads military books and history books." ”

Wang Sunsin followed Chong Pu's finger and looked over. On the wall of the study, there are long and short weapons of all sizes, and there is no shortage of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and it is clear at a glance that the road is the study of the general. However, there are also bookshelves that make the study worthy of its name.

However, the books on the shelves are also mostly military books. Needless to say, Sun and Wu Erzi's military books, Santao Liuluo, Tang Li Wenright, Wei Xuanzi, Sima Fa, and even Yin Fu, Grip Qi, and even a few volumes of the Wujing General Essentials, but most of them are dusty, and only a few dozen volumes have been turned to the margins, among which there is Han Gang's sanatorium system and buoyancy to trace the source.

It's not that he doesn't like to readβ€”the scrolls of history that sit on the bookshelf against another wall are so clean that he can be seen to be read from time to timeβ€”it's that he is too lazy to read the books of war that chew his tongue and say sour things.

He has always believed that the military book should be direct and simple, not to be harmful, rather than lose in complexity, rather than in simplicity, and learn from the literati to pay attention to grammar, then it is not a military book, and it is good for the talents to play the game of strategizing. The real battle on the battlefield is by no means the simple thirteen articles in Sun Tzu's Art of War, even in the general essentials of the martial arts, there is less to say.

So I appreciate Han Gang. The regulations on the treatment and maintenance of injuries and illnesses in the army written by Han Gang, if they are placed in the military books for literati, most of them are written in one stroke, and most of them use three or five paragraphs to talk about food, water, medicine, and other things. Who can be like Han Gang, who breaks up and rubs up the medical matters in the general, and tirelessly writes down everything as small as washing hands and spitting?

"But what the army pays attention to is to say the same, Han Yukun is really here, maybe he is subservient?" He shook his head, "So this rumor can't be true." ”

Chong Pu also said: "Han Yukun will definitely not come." Without a Xuanfu Division, where can Yan Yanlu arrange him? ”

Wang Sunchen frowned: "Isn't the Yongxing Military Road Transfer Division just right in handy?" As a deputy envoy for transshipment, Han Sange is also qualified enough. ”

Wang Sunsin was actually right. In the absence of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, if Han Gang wants to manage the army's grain and straw transportation and injury and illness medical treatment, he can only make a fuss in the Yongxing Army Transportation Division, and a deputy transport envoy is indispensable to him.

"But if Han Gang is the deputy envoy of the Yongxing Military Road, when he comes to take charge of the army's grain and straw, who can suppress him at that time?" Chong Pu didn't mind saying these heart-wrenching words in front of Wang Sunsin. With his understanding of Wang Sunsin, he knew that this old companion who had followed him since he was a child would never be a sinister person who exposed people's short and long tongues in private.

Wang Sunchen wanted to speak and stopped, he knew the character of the seed, and he also knew that Han Gang's personality was full of confidence in himself, and he would never give others the temperament of being a deputy if he could take charge alone. If you really get together, maybe you really want to come out.

Seeing that Wang Sunchen had nothing to say, there was no need to explain more.

Of course, he hopes that his subordinates will be stable and dare to fight. After many events in Hengshan, Xianyang, and Hehuang a few years ago, Han Gang, who had a good reputation in the Western Army, was the best candidate for transfer with the army. In addition, in the past year, Han Gang's many inventions in the Ordnance Prison, at least among the Western Army, no one can oppose this proposal. But if Han Gang might shake his authority, he would never welcome it.

In the battle of Hengshan, it is impossible to plant, and I don't want people to point fingers at my side - how can there be two commanders in the army! This is a matter of principle!

Standing up, he went out and turned to the side courtyard, leaving only one sentence: "Follow me." ”

Wang Sunchen and Chong Pu honestly followed suit. "Where is this going?" Wang Sunsin asked with a sideways face.

Chong Pu replied in a low voice: "White Tiger Festival Hall." ”

……………………

Just when he was in front of the sand table of the White Tiger Festival Hall, he explained his strategy to Wang Sunchen to recover Hengshan. In Xingqing Mansion, the imminent war is also being discussed.

The Liang brothers and sisters, Liang Yiburi's son Liang Yikui, the general of the clan named Ah Wu, the leader of the wealthy clans with the surname Ren Duo Lingding, and more than a dozen civil and military important ministers gathered in the Zichen Palace. It is a matter of national fortune, and the atmosphere in the palace is even more tense.

"It's another kind of."

As soon as this name was mentioned, not only Liang Yikui, who spoke, but even the other ministers in the palace felt a toothache. Over the years, every time the Song people stirred up trouble in Hengshan, it was started by the seeds. A few days ago, as soon as I heard that he was coming back to Yanyan Road, everyone knew that Dao Hengshan was going to war again.

"The Xiangyou Military Division sent an urgent report that the Song army may invade north at any time, and requested that additional reinforcements be sent immediately."

"It's definitely going to be sent, but how much is it going to be sent?"

"At least ten thousand!"

"Half of the Hengshan Fan Department was destroyed a few years ago, and 10,000 were sent over, where did their rations come from?"

"Can't we make the first move on our side, and we can only wait for the Song army to attack? In two months, it will be autumn, and the army will start to fight. ”

"Then the Song people have a reason to take back the blame of the Khitan."

"It doesn't matter what he thinks. As long as we win, the Liao people will not force us to Daxia. If it fails to do so, when the Song army attacks Hengshan in the north, can the Khitan still sit idly by? ”

"Everything depends on the Khitan. I followed Emperor Jingzong back then, but the Khitan and Song people had all fought, so why were you afraid of them!? ”

"Time has passed, and the Song people are different."

"It's your guts ......"

"What's the noise?!" Among the foreign ministers, Ren Duo Lingding, who has the most prestige, opened his faint old eyes that were a little confused, but his eyes swept like lightning, "There are at least two or three months before the Song people can be ready." Don't be in a hurry, just be steady. ”

After Ren Duo and Ding Fawei, the Zichen Palace, which was full of people and mouths, regained its rationality. Liang Yiburi, who had been silent, and Empress Dowager Liang, who was high in the palace, looked at each other, and became a little jealous of Renduo Lingding's prestige.

"The Song people are fanfare, will they make a noise. Lanzhou Yu Zang's family, the business has become bigger and bigger in the past two years, and Yu Zang Huama can't wait to recognize Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu as their fathers. ”

"Send someone to Lanzhou to keep an eye on it, and then find a place for Yu Zang Huama in the middle of the court...... Let him enter Beijing as a privy deputy, I don't believe he will be unwilling. ”

"How could that fox come to Xingqing Mansion? As long as he gave an edict, he would inevitably call himself sick and say that he was dying. Please ask the old man on the above table, maybe he can do it. ”

"You can't sit back and watch him turn to the Song people, right?"

"Yu Zang Huama will not make a decision so easily, and with the character of a kind of man, will he agree to the strategy of striking east and west and make a wedding dress for others?"

"That's what you say, but you can't be on guard, right?"

"Then send more detailed ones to investigate. It's never too late to find out. At the moment, the key is still in Yokoyama. ”
