"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad!

Yan Yun is ashamed, still snowing; When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain! Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! ”

Liu Xu blurted out Yue Wumu's masterpiece "Man Jianghong", which is magnificent and illuminating the moon. Yue Wumu's words are majestic, and it makes people's blood boil when they read, and it is one of Liu Xu's favorite lyrics, but Liu Xu is reciting it backwards. However, the change of Jingkang has not happened yet, and there will be no shame in Jingkang. But more than ten years ago in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the current official Zhao Eryu drove the expedition, but suffered a fiasco in the Gaoliang River, the people with lofty ideals in the Great Song Dynasty were deeply ashamed, Liu Xu understood the history of Kou Zhun, has always belonged to the Liao's tough main battle faction, and now the official appreciates the important ministers, will also think that the failure to recover Yanyun is ashamed, so Liu Xu dared to change the word Jingkang to Yanyun, fortunately, these two words are not rhyme, and Pingqian is also the same as Jingkang. If Liu Xu was asked to change something else, he really didn't dare to change it, he couldn't think of a suitable word to rhyme, and changed a good word to be nondescript, not only sorry for Yue Wumu, but also laughing and generous. And Liu Xu changed these two words, this is still a masterpiece full of pride, but the content expressed has become a deep grief and indignation for Yan Yun's defeat, and expresses his determination to recover Yan Yun.

After Liu Xu finished chanting this word, everyone was shocked, and the three of Kou Zhun couldn't help but admire, the lyrics were really full of pride and top gun.

Zhang Tongju and Cui Ye applauded loudly, and Kou Zhun was also very happy in his heart, but he didn't expect Liu Xu to be not only talented, but also so ambitious, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. The land of Yanyun has not been restored, Kyushu is incomplete, and Jinou is lacking, which is a pity. Recovering Yanyun has always been the ideal of people with lofty ideals in the Great Song Dynasty, and Kou Zhun is particularly resolute in advocating being tough on Liao and recovering Yanyun by force. However, today's officials may have been frightened by the fiasco of the Gaoliang River and the failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition, and now they actually adhere to the policy of "guarding the inside and the outside", and no longer make efforts to recover Yanyun. Now when I hear Liu Xu write this ambitious and heroic poem, expressing the shame of not being able to recover Yanyun and his determination to recover Yanyun, as if he has found a confidant at once, I can't help but be impressed by Liu Xu.

Liu Xu looked at Kou Zhun's expression, only to see that he was first amazed, and then relieved, knowing that he had plagiarized Yue Wumu's pride and words, which moved him, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Kou Zhun stroked his beard and said: "Erlang's poem is really majestic and ambitious. I didn't expect Erlang to have such ambitions, and he admired Kou in front of him. Since Erlang has this ambition, he wants to pay more attention to Yanyun's affairs, I don't know what Erlang's high opinion is? ”

Liu Xu said in his heart: I just know how to memorize this poem, where did I get my opinion on recovering Yanyun! Moreover, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not until the Huizong period that the Liao State was defeated by the Jin State, and it was barely considered to recover Yanyun, but only a few years later, the Jin State went south, not only Yanyun was lost, but even the capital was lost. In the end of the Song Dynasty, the Song people failed to actually get Yanyun, so it can be seen how easy it is to recover Yanyun? For so many years, so many ministers and brave generals have not done anything, what can I think of.

Today, Liu Xu excused himself and said: "Adults are on top, and students only have foolish opinions, how dare they call it high opinions?" Besides, Yanyun's affairs are planned by the current officials and the imperial court, and the students dare not beak it! ”

Kou Zhun listened to the meaning of Liu Xu's words, and seemed to have some opinions on Yan Yun's matter, but he didn't dare to say it easily. immediately smiled and encouraged: "Erlang has ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it, don't worry if it's a little out of place, just the four of us here, Zhang Tongju and Liulang won't spread it, just talk about it boldly." ”

Liu Xu knew that Kou Zhun still wanted to take the school exam, and if he resigned, he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to hug his thighs. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it. Liu Xu hurriedly thought about the relevant records of Yanyun in the history books in his mind, and wanted to piece together a little rhetoric.

If you want to recover Yanyun, you must first defeat the Khitan. However, it has been more than 80 years since the establishment of the Khitan state, and after decades of accumulation of birth and nourishment, it is now at a time when the national strength is strong and the armed forces are also self-reliant. The Great Song Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, and it has been several wars to unify the Central Plains, and now the Great Song Dynasty has been stable for more than ten years. In general, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is still slightly inferior to that of the Khitan. In the battle of the Gaoliang River in the past year, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was tempered for more than ten years in the early Song Dynasty, and then coerced and pacified the Northern Han Yuwei, and was still defeated. Now the official Zhao Er has decided to "guard the inside and the outside", and "use the civil army to control the military", most of the civil officials do not understand the military, but they love to point fingers, the generals are more constrained, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army has declined sharply, and it is not easy to regain the land of Yanyun from the Khitan! Historically, the sixteen states of Youyun, since Shi Jingjiao ceded to the Khitan, did bring a strong nightmare to the Central Plains regime. The Central Plains regime lost Yanyun, that is, lost the barrier in the north, the land of Yanyun has been a strategic place since ancient times, the Khitan occupies the advantage of a high house, and there are many cavalry, with geographical advantages, you can condescend to rush into the Central Plains at any time, and the Central Plains army is mostly infantry, if you want to attack Yanyun, it is very difficult.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun can not help but be a strategic location, and they are the economic lifeblood of the Khitan. The Khitan attached great importance to this place. The Khitan has been carefully operated for decades, and Youzhou has become the Khitan Nanjing. Compared with the northern land of the Khitan, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are not only rich, but also an important food supply area. While the Central Plains was constantly at war, it was always stable, and the people suffered less from the war. Most of the people living here are Han Chinese, but they may not have a return to the Song Dynasty. For ordinary people, their demands are very simple, as long as they can give them a safe and stable life, it is enough, who cares whether it is Han or Liao?

Liu Xu thought about it, it was indeed difficult to have any good way to recover Yanyun, but Liu Xu didn't want to give up this opportunity to hug Kou Zhun's thigh. So Liu Xu thought that maybe he should impress Kou Zhun from the situation in the northwest. In the Great Song Dynasty in history, since Li Jicheng entered Beijing and sacrificed the five states of Dingyan, he thought that the northwest would be pacified. The lack of understanding of Li Jiqian's rebellion and the failure to suppress it forcefully in its early days eventually led to Li Jiqian's large position, and the Great Song Dynasty finally lost control of the northwest and even the Western Regions, and lost the last piece of horse breeding land, so that in the war with the Khitan in the future, it was always passively defensive, and it was difficult to take the initiative to attack. Liu Xu remembered that Li Jiqian in history finally defeated the Song army and occupied Lingzhou during the fourth attack on Lingzhou during the Zhenzong period, which was changed to Xiping Mansion as its foundation. Li Jiqian and his descendants, based on Lingzhou, seized the five states of Dingyan in the east, occupied the Hexi Corridor and Longyou in the west, and finally established the country.

Liu Xu thought for a long time, and Kou Zhun and the three of them had been drinking tea and waiting quietly.

It took a long time for Liu Xu to speak: "In the humble opinion of the students, it is really difficult to recover Yanyun. Although the students were deeply saddened by the loss of Yanyun's land, there was really no good strategy to recover Yanyun. Speaking of which, the only fundamental measures are to enrich the country and strengthen the army. For those who are rich in the country, agriculture is the foundation, but business should also pay attention to it. The saint has clouds, no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth. The management of Zhong is heavy on business, and it is to have a strong Qi. If you want the country to be rich, business is crucial. Commerce can make the best use of goods everywhere. When commerce is developed, it can not only make the people rich, but also make the country rich by collecting more taxes. As for the strong soldiers, the students are foolish and want to fight against the Khitan, horses are very important. The land of horse breeding in Hexi must not be lost. Now that Li Jiqian in Hexi is in turmoil, the imperial court seems to have not suppressed it enough, and connived at it to descend and reverse, and then to descend and reverse. Every time Li Jiqian accumulated strength, he came to attack my Great Song Dynasty, and when he was defeated, he hid in the grassland to accumulate strength again. The imperial court should resolutely pursue Li Jiqian, extinguish the hidden dangers of the horse breeding land in Hexi, and do not think that Li Jiqian is suffering from ringworm. With horses, there can be a foundation against the Khitan. The Khitan occupies a geographical advantage and has a cavalry with strong mobility ability, if the Great Song Dynasty does not have a strong cavalry, even if it wins, it will be difficult to catch up with them, destroy their living force, and deal a fatal blow to it. The Han and Tang dynasties finally defeated the northern ethnic minorities, relying on cavalry to penetrate deep into the grasslands to eliminate their power. In addition, students felt that political offensives were particularly important. For the Han people who came to the land of Yanyun, I must treat them well, no, we should give preferential treatment, so that more Han people in the land of Yanyun will return to their hearts. With the people's heart, when Yanyun is recovered in the future, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "During the Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi, who finally guarded Yanyun, voted for the Jin people, led the Jin people south, and finally caused the Jingkang Change, which was related to the Song Huizong killing Zhang Jue and chilling the hearts of the Yandi descendants. It is Liu Xu who proposed that we must treat the people who come to Yandi well, strive for the return of the Han people in Yandi, and remind everyone not to think that most of Yandi are Han people, so they have a heart for the Great Song Dynasty. As for the system of the Great Song army, although Liu Xu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to put his beak lightly.

Kou Zhun listened to Liu Xu's answer, and couldn't help but be more satisfied with Liu Xu in his heart. Liu Xu's answer is correct, although there is no specific tactical method, but from the strategic point of view, these three points do have some insights, and Kou Zhun appreciates it very much. These three points, if Liu Xu didn't put them forward, he really wouldn't necessarily think about them. Although the Great Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce, the strong social habits of the agrarian society made few orthodox literati and doctors pay attention to the role of commerce in rich countries. And the Yandi Han people, yes, they have lived peacefully under Khitan rule for decades, and how many people are willing to go to war again? The Great Song Dynasty launched a war to fight for the sixteen states of Youyun, their homeland will inevitably be destroyed, whether they will resist the Great Song Dynasty to defend their homeland, or support the Great Song Dynasty, it is really unknown? In the past, I instinctively thought that it was born from the same root, and the Han people of Yandi would definitely have their hearts towards the Great Song Dynasty, but now it seems that this is not the case. For Li Jiqian, when Kou Zhun presided over the Privy Council, it was when Li Jiqian once again returned to the Great Song Dynasty and was given the name Zhao Baoji. Kou Zhun once disdained Li Jiqian's small rebellion, and Li Jizhuan, who represented the orthodoxy of the Dingyan Army, was attached to the imperial court, and how much waves could little Li Jiqian set off. However, Liu Xu said that Kou Zhun felt that it was really necessary to go to the official's house and increase the recovery of Li Jiqian. The party aristocracy occupied the five states for a hundred years. I don't know how many of them are willing to belong to the imperial court now, and the party Li family has been in business for a hundred years, and many party nobles may not be willing to give up the power in their hands. Kou Zhun thought that he must cut the grass and eradicate Li Jiqian, and he could not leave future troubles. The land of horse breeding in Hexi cannot be lost. Although Kou Zhun did not know the direction of later history like Liu Xu, and knew that Li Jiqian finally stood on his feet and his grandson finally established the country, Kou Zhun felt that it was indeed necessary to prevent trouble before it happened.

Kou Zhun changed his mind and digested Liu Xu's correct answer. When he looked at Liu Xu again, he couldn't help but appreciate it a little more.

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Erlang is not only extremely talented, but also has extraordinary knowledge, which is rare among young people!" Kou heard that Erlang is still studying in the county school now, why is this? With Erlang's talent, he studied in the state, and he is also the top student, but there are some other reasons? Next year is the year of Dabi, if Erlang is interested, Kou recommends you to study in the state and guarantees you a place to solve the exam. Kou Zhun said this, and basically promoted Liu Xu to a person. In the Song Dynasty, the examination was also the state examination, which was held in their respective states, which was different from the provincial examination referred to in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although the Song Dynasty was divided into various roads, in fact, there were things in the state, which could go directly to the imperial court, and the roads of the Song Dynasty actually did not constitute a substantive administrative unit at the first level, and the Song Dynasty actually implemented the administrative division system at the state and county levels. Kou Zhun is a state governor, and he is also a very energetic state governor, as long as the students he recommends, as long as they are not too bad to say, the examiner of the state examination will definitely let him be selected as appropriate. In Kou Zhun's opinion, Liu Xu is extremely talented, and it is nothing to protect him. Of course, the Song Dynasty was far less popular than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the literati of the Song Dynasty had to be admitted to the Jinshi in order to really get ahead.

Although the students sponsored by Kou Zhun will basically be lifted as long as they are not too bad, Liu Xu knows what he is, and he is afraid that he just belongs to this too bad category. Although Liu Xu had the heart to agree, he was a fool. But I'm afraid that when it comes to the test, I can't even write with a brush, and I will definitely show the stuffing, and it will not be beautiful at that time, so I think about it and decide to resign, Liu Xu got up and said: "Thanks to the love of Lord Zhizhou, the student is ashamed." To tell the truth, in addition to being able to make a few crooked poems, students really have nothing to do with reading, and I am afraid that this imperial examination is weak. It's a shame to say that the student's identity as a county school itch student, or he didn't get into the county school after taking the exam several times, and he was able to enter the county school through the back door. Lord Zhizhou sponsored students to participate in the exam, but the students were afraid of losing the face of Lord Zhizhou, so they didn't dare to agree. ”

Kou Zhun couldn't help but be a little strange, who among the literati students didn't want to gain a reputation and a literary background. He wanted to help Liu Xu gain fame as soon as possible, but he didn't accept it, and Kou Zhun couldn't help but be more interested in Liu Xu. Thinking of Liu Xu's wonderful poem "Fixing the Storm", it seems that the lyrics express his mentality of seeing through the world and being indifferent to fame and fortune. However, Liu Xu's "Man Jianghong" today expresses his resentment at not being able to recover Youyun and his determination to recover Youyun, it seems that he also wants to do a career, not like he wants to escape from the world, Kou Zhun is really a little uncertain about Liu Xu's thoughts.

Kou Zhun thought about it, is Liu Xu really not interested in reading exams? There seems to be only one explanation. Thinking of this, Kou Zhun couldn't help but smile and said: "Erlang is extremely talented, has a unique eye for seeing things, and has unique insights. I'm afraid that you can't study hard, but you really don't want to study for the exam. Anyway, if you don't want to take the exam, it's better to follow me to learn some knowledge of life and some ways to be an official, and if there is a chance in the future, I may recommend you to be used by the court, so as not to bury you, how about it? ”

Liu Xu was overjoyed in his heart, after all, he still hugged this thigh, this opportunity must be seized, Liu Xu immediately got up and saluted: "Thank you for your love, the student is so polite!" ”

Kou Zhun was also very happy when he saw Liu Xu saluting, and immediately smiled: "There is no need to make this big gift, you and I can be regarded as teachers and friends, I am more than ten years older than you, and I have more experience in being an official and dealing with the world, I can guide you in this regard." But if it's just poetry, I'm not as good as you! ”

Liu Xu bowed and said: "The teacher is too modest, how can the student's crooked words be compared to the teacher." ”

Zhang Tongjuan laughed loudly: "Congratulations to Master Kou for accepting a good apprentice, and congratulations to Erlang for having a good teacher!" ”

Cui Ye also got up and congratulated with a smile!

Kou Zhun and Liu Xu also smiled in return.

Kou Zhun felt that he was very happy to discover a good talent. And Liu Xu is even happier in his heart, with Kou Zhun as his teacher, he will be able to mix a lot in Da Song in the future!

At this time, Cui Ye said: "The second brother has never had a table word, and now he has to worship Lord Kou's door, so it is better to ask Lord Kou to take a table word for the second brother!" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly got up and bowed to Kou Zhun and said, "The eldest brother is right, and I ask the teacher to give me a watch!" ”

Kou Zhun saw Liu Xu bowing very much, and he was also happy in his heart. Immediately, Kou Zhun groaned and said: "Erlang's name takes the word Xu from the rising Xu, Ling Zun must hope that you will have a bright future, and also hope that you will act upright and bright." If you want to have light at night, you need the clouds to open and the moon to shine, and the teacher is to take a cloud for you. I hope that you will walk in a righteous and bright way, day and night, and the moon will shine, and I hope that you will have a bright future, what do you think? ”

Liu Xu used to listen to his name, it was a cliché name, who would have thought that there were so many exquisitenesses! Anyway, in the later life, his name was given to him by his father. As for Liu Xu's father in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what the meaning of this name is given to him. At the moment, I heard Kou Zhun take the word Yunkai for himself, which sounds good, so let's call it Yunkai. Hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you to the teacher for giving me words, the students must abide by the teacher's teachings, do things uprightly, and will not disgrace the teacher." ”

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Of course, do things in a decent manner, it is not that you don't want to conspire and change, I will teach you these things in the future." ”

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Thank you for the teacher's suggestion." ”

ps: Yesterday the network was disconnected at home, and it was not updated in time, and today I made up a big chapter of five thousand words, I hope you will forgive me. I also ask for your support, Shanhe is grateful!
