"Why didn't you say yes? Don't underestimate your third brother, such a big matter, wouldn't it be finalized with Wang Zhongzheng first. Someone went to Beijing with him, and everything that should have been said had already been said, and Wang Zhongzheng also asked him to come back and pass on the message to me. Han Gang explained with a smile, and called a family member into the hall, "Go and call Hu Yilai." ”

Hu Yi ...... It's Han Yi, right? Did he enter Beijing? Wang asked.

"I went to Beijing with Wang Zhongzheng, but I entered the capital one step earlier before the city gate was locked yesterday." Han Gang glanced at Wang Sunchen, "I wanted to talk to you about this last night......

Wang Sunchen touched his head and said with a dry smile: "Third brother, the few military books you let me read are too difficult, and they are not for military generals like us to read, and I will be sleepy when I look at them." This is an article for Wenchen to read, and it is not at all usable in battle. According to me, it's not as good as the Jiaozhi combat experience written by the Li family's elder brother. It's just illiterate, so people can read it, and they don't need to explain much, and the pawns below can understand it. ”

Han Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Wang Sunsin's words are not wrong.

Nowadays, the art of war that is circulating in the world talks too much about strategy, and too little about the details of tactics. Even the military encyclopedia-style "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is also too brief.

This aspect of the problem has always been criticized by Han Gang. He has been involved in military-related petitions and copywriting, and he has always been tireless. For example, the "Regulations on the Health of the Army" compiled by him is now in use, and the revised version in the world has as many as 40,000 words, while the southern version that was originally added and revised in Guangxi has an additional 20,000 words and dozens of articles because of the different geographical climate and the types of epidemics.

But Han Gang couldn't indulge Wang Sunchen either: "That's right, but these military books contain insight, and there is no harm in reading more." If it's too brief, you can add it. The relationship between the Spring and Autumn Period and Zuo Chuan, I remember what I told you at the beginning - Guan Yu and Guo Kui both like to read Zuo Chuan - and, since you have watched the Southern Expedition Jixing, do you not know what my cousin is doing after he is idle after being transferred to Hebei? Didn't you write an article about the experience of the Yokoyama battle at the beginning? ”

Wang Sunchen scratched his neck, his third brother Han was addicted to being a teacher, and asked Li Xin to write about the experience of fighting in the Southern Expedition, and let Zhao Long write the experience of Pingmaozhou, and let him write the experience of fighting in Hengshan. Although Zhilu Dao's intentions are very deep, the days of biting the pen under the oil lamp are really not people's lives.

Li Xin is full of interest in writing and studying, and the last time he wrote a letter, he also said that he had found a gentleman to teach Spring and Autumn, and I don't know if he plans to be a teacher in the future. Zhao Long, on the other hand, recounted his experience orally, asked his staff to record it, and then sorted it out himself. They didn't dare to take Han Gang's orders seriously, and Wang Sunchen didn't dare either, he also tried his best to complete the homework, but he really didn't want to do it a second time, and it was a thousand times easier to go into battle to kill the enemy and intrigue with thieves.

Han Gang could see the resistance in Wang Sunchen's heart, sighed, and said, "Think about it when you go back." I don't ask you to study hard, I just want to be able to know it in my heart and confirm it with reality. The experience that asked you to write before is not to ask you to write a good article, but just to let you have an organized record. In front of the Son of Heaven, in front of colleagues, and in front of subordinates, it is all beneficial, and you can't rely on archery alone, right? ”

Han Gang almost persuaded bitterly, and Wang Sunchen no longer pretended to be stupid and stunned, and nodded very sincerely: "Third brother, junior brother understands, he will study seriously when he goes back." ”

Han Gang didn't say much, this matter still depends on Wang Sunchen's own self-awareness. Hu Yi was about to arrive, and what he said to Wang Sunchen was not good to say in front of him.

Hu Yi originally had another name, but he changed his name to Han Yi after joining the Han family as a Zhuangke. Later, because of the meritorious service, he only restored his original surname, but his name was not changed back.

If you commit an accident in the previous subject, you will also change your name and retake the imperial examination. When Ouyang Xiu first learned about the tribute, Liu Ji, the former champion, was rejected by Ouyang Xiu because of his literary style, so he was deposed, and even posted a list and gave a big comment.

The next time Ouyang Xiu knew the tribute again, Liu Ji changed his name and came to the test again, and deliberately changed it to Ouyang Xiu's favorite literary style, and was promoted to the first place with his literary style. When the roll call was revealed, the registered name was Liu Xuan. Ouyang Xiu took this article and praised it to his friends, because he had hired another outstanding disciple. Later, I realized that this person was actually Liu Ji, who he had been taking out as a negative teaching material.

And some officials, because they have offended high-ranking officials, are afraid of affecting their future, and there are quite a few cases of changing their names. Liu Yi was born in the Guangrui Army, but the old name was left behind, and changing it back would only be self-inflicted.

In addition to Hu Yi, there are also two personal entourages who have made meritorious contributions to Han Gang and become officials, and like Hu Yi, they are both from the Guangrui Army. Although he did not change his name and surname when he joined the Han family, he also changed his name wisely after becoming an official.

Hu Yi was recruited by Han Gang and arrived soon. is also a very young person, he looks shrewd and capable, and when he saluted, Han Gang ordered: "You repeat what Wang Duzhi said." ”

Hu Yi arched his hand and said: "Wang Duzhi only talked to the villain once when he passed through Tongguan, asked the villain's origin, and what he did after he was cast under the Longtu Sect to become an official. After that, it wasn't until he entered the city that he asked the villain to thank Long Tu, saying that the Maozhou crude medicine sent last time was very good, he liked it very much, and the Son of Heaven liked it even more. Recently, I heard that the saddle in Liangzhou is good, and I don't know if Long Tu can bring one so that he can dedicate it to the Son of Heaven. ”

After listening to Hu Yi's relay, Han Gang asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Wang Sunchen tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and nodded: "Where can I not understand?!" ”

Wang Zhongzheng's words were not euphemistic at all, there were no twists and turns, and Wang Sunchen was not stupid, how could he not understand.

Last time, relying on Han Gang's recommendation, Wang Zhongzheng took Zhao Long and Miao Lu as generals and put down the Maozhou rebellion in one fell swoop. This time it was the same, with the help of Han Gang's power. And Han Gang recommended Wang Sunchen. Of course, this Hu Yi can probably be stained with the same light, otherwise Wang Zhongzheng would not ask him about his identity and origin.

"Wang Zhongzheng will be willing to divide his troops in Liangzhou, most likely because he knows that the battle of Ludao is not so easy to fight, and the credit of Lingzhou is not easy to earn. The six-way appointment period gathered under the city of Lingzhou, it was simple to say, but in fact, as long as you brought troops, you knew that such a plan as Lu Dao was a piece of waste paper. A few days before and after, there will be a chance to break through. ”

Wang Sunchen frowned and said: "Six routes to attack the summer, two of which are combined, can compete with the party members. Therefore, Wang Duzhi will lead both Qinfeng and Xihe roads, and Jingyuan Road must also be controlled by the high general manager of Huanqing Road, and the soldiers and horses of Hedong Road also have to cooperate with the advance of Yanyan Road. It is said that it is six roads, and when it is killed under the city of Lingzhou, it is actually equivalent to three roads. ”

Han Gang shook his head: "It can't be counted like this. Hedong Road is geographically too far apart, and from the beginning, it can only follow Yanyan Road. And the commander of Xihe and Qin Feng is Wang Zhongzheng alone, and there is nothing to fight for, and he will definitely join forces when he arrives in the Yellow River. Only Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road are just moderation. It has never been said that Jingyuan Road has to wait for Huanqing Road, or Huanqing Road has to wait for Jingyuan Road. When the time comes, they may be broken by each one. ”

"Mr. Miao is the person in charge of Mr. Gao."

"It's all the deputy head of the soldiers...... Who are the who's people? At the moment, they are all equal-level Great Song courtiers. Han Gang asked with a smile, in fact, Wang Sunchen himself was hesitant, he was originally an honest and obedient subordinate, but there are too many examples of him being equal after his status is high, which one has never seen it.

Wang Sunchen lifted his spirits: "With plate armor, horse chopping swords, and divine arm bows to protect them, and there are spaceships to monitor the distance and proximity, the iron harriers of Western Xia can't compete with the official army. ”

"The party people love to use deception, and this has been the case since the beginning of the succession, that is, when they were arrogant and arrogant a few years ago, they would be stupid enough to impact the military formation, and now they will not be stupid again."

In the era of cold weapons, a good pair of iron armor can multiply the combat effectiveness of soldiers, coupled with the general distribution of horse chopping sabers and divine arm bows, so that the Song army infantry can easily defeat the elite troops of the Great Liao and Western Xia after the formation - but this must be added to the premise, the cavalry of the Liaoxia and Xia countries must be foolish to collide with the military formation, rather than directly bypassing the Song army's military formation with superior battlefield mobility.

The same thing. At this time, the Western Army had elite troops that were not inferior to the Khitan's Gongfen and Leather Room. Any two ways combined have the strength to compete with Xixia. Even if Yanyan Road and Hedong Road can't reach Lingzhou in time because of the Hanhai barrier, only the remaining four roads are enough to defeat Western Xia in a dignified manner - it's a pity that if you want the party to fight a dignified war, unless the Xingqing Mansion has become an idiot.

Wang Zhongzheng came and left in a hurry, and when he left, he took Wang Sunchen with him. persuaded the Son of Heaven to let Wang Sunchen make meritorious service, which was Wang Zhongzheng's favor to Han Gang, and Han Gang's reward was to let Wang Sunchen help him take Liangzhou.

However, Han Gang and Wang Zhongzheng's secret agreement in private was not just what he said to Wang Sunchen.

After opening up the main line of the Silk Road, there will be the benefits of opening up the Western Regions and restoring the old frontier of the Han and Tang Dynasties. At that time, if Wang Zhongzheng thought about getting past Ban Chao and Zhang Qian's addiction, Han Gang would also come out to support him.

Having said that, Han Gang himself was happy to see the Western Regions recovered and the Silk Road regained control of the Central Plains Dynasty. He didn't care who took it, even the eunuchs.

When the Dang Xiang people controlled the Hexi Corridor, many Uighur merchants switched to the southern route of the Silk Road, detouring from the shores of Qinghai Lake, and after Dong Yu inherited his father's business, for a long time, his finances were supported by the tolls of Uighur merchants - but now Dong Yu has made a fortune using cotton, oilseeds, and even salted fish that can replace table salt, and his reliance on tolls is much smaller.

With the Hexi Corridor, the benefits of the Silk Road are still trivial, but the help to the Xihe Road is real.

As the weather became hotter day by day, the army returned to the place of departure, and the preparations for the war continued, and when it was almost summer, the envoys from the Liao State brought a strong note, along with the news that 200,000 iron horsemen had arrived at Yuanyangluo.

"This is not the place where Xia Bo should be." Han Gang said at the Chongzheng Palace.
