The two ministers coincided, and the opinions of the ministers on the invasion of Western Xia were very clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven if Emperor Zhao Ji has other ideas, he must have some scruples now.

Baiguan already has such an attitude, what else can he do?

Especially Wang Anshi, Zhao Ji's decision is most concerned about him and the changes he presides. Since Wang Anshi already has such an attitude, what else do he have to say? We can only find ways to maintain the implementation of the reform as much as possible while ensuring the smooth operation of the war, so as not to produce too many adverse effects.

The Tangut people are so perverse and unruly, so teach them a good lesson.

The first large-scale foreign military operation since taking the throne, Zhao Ji was inevitably a little nervous. The outcome of the war was very important, both for the Great Song Dynasty and for him personally.

This victory or defeat will surely attract much attention!

The pressure on Zhao Ji's shoulders is really not small!

Many ministers of the DPRK and China are also not easy, and they are also sweating. Victory or defeat is a major matter that has a bearing on national interests, and it is not a trivial matter that has a bearing on one's own interests.

Therefore, after the court made the decision to counterattack, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole country.

It is not an easy task to start a war, and the deployment of troops and military deployment is only one aspect. Logistical supplies, as well as related matters, must not be slackened.

There is a way that the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and the grain and grass alone is a headache. Especially in the northwest, transportation is really inconvenient.

Perhaps in the Sui and Tang dynasties, grain could also be transported to Guanzhong through the Yellow River and the Wei River, as well as the Caoyun Canal in Guanzhong. However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, Cao Yun has been abandoned, and the core of water transportation is Bianjing, and it has been a little difficult to get to Luoyang, not to mention Chang'an. Therefore, if the grain produced in the southeast wants to be transported to the northwest, it is bound to pay a great price.

But fortunately, the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have been fighting for almost a hundred years. The number of border troops on the Shaanxi Fourth Road was quite large, and it was not even less than the army defending the Liao State on the Hebei Road. The number of standing armies is already so large, and the demand for grain is naturally great, so Pingri has always attached importance to transporting grain to the northwest.

Although the land of Guanzhong is no longer richer than that of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, it can be regarded as a country of abundance, especially the convenience of Weishui irrigation, and it can also be regarded as an important place for grain production.

Guanzhong is no longer the capital, the population is also declining, and food consumption has also dropped a lot, so there will be a lot of surplus every year. All of this grain was stored, and as long as the war did not last for a particularly long time, the food could still be supported.

After the problem of grain and grass was solved, the mobilization of troops and horses and combat became the top priority.

This time, the Western Xia seems to have adopted a full-fledged mode of warfare, starting from Huanzhou, Gyeongju, Fuzhou, Yanzhou, and Linzhou to attack, and the war raged over a wide range and with great momentum. It's not at all like a flat ri, in a certain area, or a certain city, specifically to launch an attack. It gives people the feeling that the Tangut people seem to be crazy.

It was precisely because of this that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor Zhao Ji were determined to send troops.

Such actions of the Western Xia led to turmoil in the entire northwest border, which had a great impact on the mentality of the common people and military soldiers. Over time, the situation has deteriorated, and perhaps some other troubles have been brought about by it. You must know that there is more than one enemy in the Song Dynasty, this side started a war with the Western Xia, but that side was robbed by the Liao State, and the consequences were unimaginable.

The Western Xia wanted to take advantage of Li Fugui's intelligence to cause more damage and create more pressure on the Song Dynasty. Thus increasing their own arrogance and forcing the Song people to submit in order to gain more benefits. Their wishful thinking is crackling, and they are already already considering that the truce must be opened wide......

But he forgot that everything is a bottom line, and such an act deeply stimulated the determination of the Song Dynasty people to resist.

Although Li Fugui defected, the Western Xia army suddenly attacked, and although the border was turbulent, the Song army did not suffer too serious losses.

There is no other reason, because the current guards in the northwestern states are quite good. For example, Wang Shao of Huanqing Road, the seed of Qingjian City and his brother and nephew, the Zhejia army of Fuzhou and so on. These are all elite divisions in the Western Army, a famous general, how can they suffer easily?

However, they are only generals on the defending side, and the scope of their jurisdiction is not large, so they can resist the attack. A large-scale, especially organized, counterattack will not be possible.

Since the Song Dynasty decided to go to war with the Western Xia, the scale of the war, and the way in which the troops were dispatched, could not be dealt with as usual. Full cooperation and continued deployment of troops will be necessary. This time it is the entire northwest that will be used.

First of all, what the Northwest lacks is a commander-in-chief!

The arrangement made by the imperial court is that Han Jiang, who has now been promoted to participate in political affairs, of course, his identity as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road is still there. If it weren't for the sudden border trouble in the northwest, Han Jiang would have stayed in Bianjing as a stable deputy prime minister, but now he had to go to the northwest to command the operation.

Han Jiang must have served as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, and he knows the situation in the northwest well, and the generals and officials of various states and counties are obedient to him. He is highly respected, and he can calmly deploy troops, and his ability is enough to deal with the current situation and fight this battle well. In addition, there is no other more suitable candidate, Han Jiang is undoubtedly the best choice.

Han Xianggong did not have any complaints, and the responsibility was heavy, so naturally he was duty-bound. After receiving the order, he immediately mobilized his troops and horses and related personnel and prepared to rush to the northwest.

In addition to coach Han Jiang, there are also some people who are also on the list, and the most special of them should be Weiyuan Bolin Zhao.

Lin Zhao is newly married to Yan'er, and it seems a little unreasonable to let the family go to the northwest at this time. But Zhao Ji had his own reasons, this battle needed the cooperation of Hehuang and Tubo, so he asked Lin Zhao to go to the northwest to coordinate and liaise. At the same time, he knew a lot about Liang Yibury and Li Fugui, and he also had combat experience in the northwest before, so he let him go with the army.

The reason why Zhao Ji arranged it like this, in addition to these very objective reasons, also had the mind that out of sight was pure. After the cold winter passes, after the newlywed, it is impossible for the meritorious Lin Zhao to be idle for a long time, so he must be assigned a position.

What is arranged? Local officials? He was against the new law. If there is another thing like the previous Seedlings Law, it will be a lot of trouble. Staying in Bianjing, it will inevitably be embarrassing to see each other in time, Zhao Ji can not care, but what about Wang Anshi and his group?

Suo Xing, in order to avoid such unnecessary trouble, threw him directly to the northwest and made him a general in the army, so that he would not have any intersection with Wang Anshi and Xinfa.

Zhao Ji's idea is very simple, he doesn't think there will be anything wrong with this arrangement. What can a little Lin Zhao do in the barracks? How big a splash can it make?

Weiyuan Bofu, after receiving the edict, Lin Zhao was slightly surprised.

Li Fugui defected, and he knew about the invasion of Western Xia, and he has been paying attention to how the imperial court will respond? But I never expected that the matter would be related to myself in the end.

To be honest, the spring is cold, and it is not comfortable to go to the bitter cold of the northwest. Especially in the first month of the wedding, there are three wives at home, and Lin Zhao is even more reluctant to go.

It's just that the king's order is difficult to disobey, and the holy decree has already been issued, so there is no way to disobey it.

On second thought, this is not a good opportunity.

When he came back from Hehuang Tubo, Lin Zhao had a mind and wanted to enter the army.

The current evidence is really not suitable for too much involvement, but it is relatively quiet in the military. The military situation of the Great Song Dynasty was really bad, and Lin Zhao had the idea to help it.

At the same time, it is also because of a heroic complex in his heart, galloping on the battlefield and making contributions is the ambition of a bloody man. Moreover, as long as you have military power, it also means strength. After the catastrophe in Gyeongju, Lin Zhao's power is very strong, in this era of dignity and order, there is not enough strength, and even his life has to be controlled by others, Lin Zhao has had enough.

What does it take to be a civil servant? Although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, the generals with heavy troops must not be underestimated, and the gun is the last word, and the meaning of this sentence remains unchanged. As long as there are military merits, promotion is not a problem, at least you can cover the sky with one hand like Li Fugui.

Therefore, Lin Zhao had this idea for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity to realize it before.

Now that this opportunity has appeared, no matter what the motive of Zhao Ji is, this decision is in line with Lin Zhao's intention to a certain extent. Especially when going to the northwest at this time, there is another layer of meaning, and you can directly ask Liang Yibury for justice. This time he was imprisoned, and Liang Yibury was also one of the accomplices, and Lin Zhao remembered this account for him! Maybe there is still a chance to slash or arrest Li Fugui, under the city of Dashun, the oath of thousands of soldiers who died in vain will naturally be fulfilled.

It's just that in this way, I have to be separated from a few beauties, and I haven't seen each other for a long time.

Lin Zhao can prevaricate the past with the statement that the eldest husband temporarily wronged his children's private affairs for the sake of his career, but the ladies really didn't feel good in their hearts.

Yan'er, who has just been married, is about to separate from her husband, and they are all unwilling.

Several people are in love with Lin Zhao, and now it is the time when the tenderness is the strongest, sticking like glue, where are they willing to separate?

At the same time, the most worrying of the ladies is the most.

After all, it is a battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if there is any mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. So several beauties were a little worried, but now Lin Zhao occupies the most important role in their minds, and there is no substitute. It is reasonable to worry about the safety of her husband......

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, I won't let you be widows!" Lin Zhao smiled and comforted several ladies.

I didn't want Chai Minyan to be in a hurry, stepped forward and pressed Lin Zhao's lips all of a sudden, shook his head nervously and said, "Lang Jun, don't say such unlucky words, everything is safe and sound, and it will be fine." Between the words, the concern was palpable.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Although he went to the army and wanted to make some attacks for the military achievements of the Great Song Dynasty, it did not mean that Lin Zhao was willing to play with his life. After this perilous ordeal, he cherished life more than anything else.

Meng Ruoying also said with tears in her eyes: "Be careful!" She has experienced this kind of parting pain several times, and she has gradually become accustomed to it. If you have a good husband, you will have to make a difference.

The woman's situation is so embarrassing, when her husband is unknown, he always spares no effort to support him, hoping that he will get ahead. But after they are really famous, where do husbands have so much time and energy to accompany the woman who silently supports them? And at this time, women are always silently alone......

It's a contradiction, a contradiction of some happiness and some bitterness.

Fortunately, Lin Zhao, Meng Ruyi and others can see that Lin Zhao can't stay in the army forever. The war in the northwest is not indefinite, and it will not be long before it ends, and then the husband will naturally return triumphantly.

Separation is only for a while, it is acceptable, and separation means seeing each other again. Just got married, this is just the beginning, there will be many such situations in the future, and several beauties are very open-minded.

Mu Sihong is also reluctant to give up, since Lin Zhao's last mission to Hehuang Tubo, she and Lin Zhao have spent a lot less time together. Recently, the husband's main energy and eyes have been focused on a few ladies, and she has been somewhat neglected. I thought it would be fine after a while, but I didn't expect my husband to leave again all of a sudden, and I don't know how long it will take to meet? Inadvertently, Mu Sihong had a little more resentment plot.

Relatively speaking, Zhe Wenxin behaved relatively calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Lang Jun, I will go to the northwest with you." ”

"You?" Lin Zhao felt that Zhe Wenxin was a little nonsense at first, but after thinking about it, he understood her thoughts.

Zhe Wenxin got married directly in Bianjing, and he didn't marry from the Fuzhou family, and even the Zhe family has never seen what his uncle Lin Zhao looks like? So Zhe Wenxin has always had an idea, when will he have the opportunity to go home with his husband Lin Zhao to save his relatives, and the marriage and family affection will be completed together.

Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity, originally there is a custom of returning to the door after the newlywed, and Zhe Wenxin wants to use it together to accomplish many things.

Zhe Wenxin nodded and said: "Lang Jun is going to the northwest to fight, the Zhe family may be able to provide some help, and we will go to the northwest together." When the time comes, I will leave the camp and go home, and get the help of my eldest brother, which will help my husband's safety and military exploits in the northwest. ”

This is not bad, although I don't know where Lin Zhao will go to fight at that time. But with the strength and influence of the Zhejia, it is still possible to provide some help.

"At the same time, is it right to go to Fuzhou to see my eldest brother again?" Lin Zhao laughed and joked, and immediately made the beauty shy.

Chai Minyan and several other women also felt that if someone went with them, it would be best to give her husband some care and help. Several of them were ordinary weak women, and they couldn't withstand long-distance travel, let alone marching and fighting. is Zhen Wenxin, who is a heroine among women, and women do not let their eyebrows be shaved, and they have this ability. Moreover, she has a strong Western Army background in the Fuzhou family, which can be of great help to Lin Zhao.

"Wenxin, my husband will be handed over to you, you have to take care of him!" Chai Min didn't forget it, and said another advice.

Mu Sihong is very envious, I really hope that I can have the opportunity to fight side by side with my husband like Fold Wenxin, and stay together for a long time?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not only Lin Zhao, as long as they had stayed in the northwest, almost all the generals who knew more about the situation there had gone. For example, Seed Master Dao, Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo and others, Lin Zhao thought that it would be good to communicate more with these people, and it would be good to come to RI to help.

Lin Zhao was thinking about the outcome of the war, but some people were even more strategic, and the things they were concerned about were undoubtedly higher.

In Bianjing City, in an ordinary mansion, the iron-masked sect master stood silently with his hands in his hands. The mask obscured his face, making it impossible to figure out what he wanted.

Jiang Leiting and Li Cheng stood behind him, silently waiting, waiting for the sect master's inquiries and orders.

"Zhao Ji asked Gongzi to go to the northwest?" After being silent for a long time, the Iron Mask Sect Master asked in a low voice.

"Yes!"

After listening to Jiang Leiting's answer, the Iron Mask Sect Master suddenly sneered, "Zhao Ji, what is this doing? Borrowing a knife to kill? ”

They really cared about Lin Zhao too much, and any wind and grass would make them consider a lot of possibilities, even the worst plans. In addition, he already had a deep prejudice against Zhao Ji, so the Iron Mask Sect Master thought from the beginning that Zhao Ji was going to be unfavorable to his son Lin Zhao.

"Sect Master, it's not like that, this is the situation in Bianjing right now, maybe Gongzi will have a vast sky when he goes to the northwest, he will be more productive, and he can feel better tempered." Jiang Leiting knew very well, what kind of expectations did they give Lin Zhao? So Lin Zhao's growth is very important to them.

"It's good!" After being silent for a long time, the Iron Mask Sect Master also acquiesced to this fact.

Entering the military is not a bad thing, and it may be possible to use it in the near future.

Although Lin Zhao was not told his true background, in fact, the Iron Mask Sect Master and the others had already begun to plan. If you want to achieve great things, both military and political aspects are very necessary.

On the political side, according to the current situation, it is not bad. Lin Zhao inadvertently won the support of many people, such as the Pan family, and the potential Wen Yanbo, as well as countless Taixue students. These people may be inconspicuous at the moment, but when necessary, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort, and it will be very useful.

There are also ministers such as Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Luan who already know the inside story. Now there is still the support of Sima Guang, and the development momentum is still good.

However, his strength in the army is not very good, although he has the identity of the son-in-law of the Fuzhou family, he is also kind to the Qingjian City family. But it is always just a simple favor, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the army and make a major breakthrough, you must rely on yourself step by step to accumulate, and the most important thing is to make military achievements.

In the past, I wanted Lin Zhao to be involved in the military, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable opportunity, and I can't do it calmly. He didn't know if Lin Zhao himself was willing, but now everything is logical and just what I want!

The next thing to do is to mobilize forces as much as possible to protect Childe's safety in the northwest, and at the same time help Childe make war achievements. The first step of the grand ambition must be done well and steadily! (To be continued...) )
