"Alright." In the hall where all the outsiders retreated, Han Gang smiled easily, "Now, Li Changjie hasn't slept well for a while." ”

"I don't know if Li Changjie can still sit in his place." Li Xin straightened his waist, he ran back and forth for six days, in fact, he was a little tired, "Once the Xitong barbarian army attacked, the first to move would definitely be the Jiaozhi court." ”

"That's right." Han Gang put away his smile, "He can kill Gu Ming left by the first king, but he can't kill all the clans, I'm afraid there will be chaos." ”

In the past few months, I have not heard of any changes and turmoil in Thang Long Mansion after Li Changjie's defeat and return to China. Han Gang went around collecting intelligence, but he didn't hear the news of Li Changjie's condemnation. On the contrary, Li Daocheng, the minister who was left behind, fell ill and died. Li Changjie's methods are indeed dark enough, but if the official army fights over, and even some rumors need to pass through, it is really a mystery whether he can suppress the Jiaozhi royal family.

Han Gang hoped that Li Changjie would persevere to the end, and when the official army fought the Fuliang River, he was still in the post of Auxiliary Lieutenant. It's not that because Li Changjie lost power, the pleasure after revenge will be worse - Su Ziyuan may think so, but Han Gang will not - but once Li Changjie and Li Qiande are tied up and sent over after the coup d'état, maybe someone in the DPRK and China will collect troops with a flag roll.

That's a big problem.

But thinking about these now, it is almost the same as worrying about the ancients, whether Li Changjie can be safe and sound before the official army attacks, it depends on his own ability. What Han Gang is now pressuring the Xitong barbarians to do is not wanting the Jiaozhi people to be safe and sound in the country before the offensive of the southern army.

The border between the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi is thousands of miles long. Among them, the mountains are undulating, there are many roads, large roads and small roads, hundreds of thousands. But if you come over as an official army, there are only two or three roads that can be chosen, and the road from Yongping Village to Jiaozhi is a road that must be taken. Therefore, it is enough for the people of Cochin to guard against a few main roads.

However, the 36 barbarians on the left and right rivers are different, they are familiar with geography, and the Xitong where they are located are distributed along the long border. Moreover, in order to plunder as many people and property as possible in the Cochin Kingdom, they will not be concentrated on a few main lines, but will gradually disperse over time, forming a wide attack surface. Once the thousands of miles of border are full of smoke, the Jiaozhi army will be unable to defend against it, and with the 20,000 or 30,000 regular troops that have been hit hard, there is no way to block it. And once the tribal army is recruited, all that is consumed is the war potential of Thang Long Province.

"Cousin, you go to the camp later, and select fifty soldiers who are delicate and capable and can endure hardships, and some people need to be placed in these Jiaxi Barbarian Divisions." Han Gang instructed Li Xin, "As long as the errand is done well, I will not be stingy with the reward." ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment and asked, "...... Do you want to monitor this group of creeks? ”

"It's not to spy on them...... Han Gang laughed, "At most, I'm just staring at them, don't hurt my Great Song people." Their more important task is to explore the geography and understand the local customs. Han Gang smiled again, his voice a little colder, "Actually, you can remove the favors, and it is enough to understand the terroir." The thieves are like washing, and the barbarians in the river will kill them, and most of them will be chickens and dogs. ”

"As long as the people of the Great Song Dynasty are saved, I don't care what the Jiaozhi people do." Li Xin snorted and turned his head to stare at: "Do you have any enslavement of the Great Song people in your family?" ”

"Nope." Huang Quan hurriedly shook his head, "Xiaguan's family has always relied on Jiaozhi and China's exchanges, if it has a bad reputation, no businessmen will dare to come to the door." There are two blacksmiths who are Han Chinese, but they are both hired by their fathers and have married the daughters of the clan. ”

Seeing Li Xin's satisfied nod, Huang Quan turned around and whispered to Han Gang, "Long Tu, yesterday my father sent a letter saying that Liu Ji and the others in Guangyuan Prefecture were unstable, and the thieves were planning to invade Guangyuan ......."

"Huang Quan, don't worry about your father. As long as Huang Tuanlian didn't take the initiative to attack Liu Ji and the others in Guangyuan Prefecture, they wouldn't have the courage to make the first move. And as long as the news of Zuozhou and Zhongzhou is passed on, Liu Ji and the others will only be more afraid, without the help of the three of them, the pressure from Jiaozhi should be a little less. ”

A few days ago, Huang Jinman also sent an envoy to report that the garrison guarding several passes leading from Guangyuan Prefecture to Jiaozhi had increased considerably, and there were signs of invading Guangyuan Prefecture.

This is not surprising. From the south of Guangyuan Prefecture, it can directly penetrate into the upper reaches of the Fuliang River, and if that section is controlled by the power of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song army can easily cross the Fuliang River and approach Shenglong Mansion. Jiaozhi will not be willing to be controlled by Jinman in Guangyuan Prefecture.

"But with the current situation, there is no way for the Cochin people to be distracted. The news of Zuozhou and Zhongzhou has passed on, and it is good to say that once all the 36 barbarians are killed, where will the Jiaozhi people have the spare strength to invade Guangyuan? ”

Huang Quan, who was appeased, retreated, and in the hall where only the two cousins were left, Li Xin's voice sounded: "Third brother, whether the imperial court plans to attack Jiaozhi or not, why is there no news of the southern camp?" Li Xin was a little anxious, "Attacking Jiaozhi, no matter how fast it is, it will take three or four months to leave." The climate in Guangxi and Cochin is only good in winter, that is, from October this year to February next year. To catch up with this schedule, the southern army must set off in August, so that it can reach Yongzhou by October......"

"Don't worry, cousin." Han Gang smiled, "Su Boxu will come back in a few days. When the time comes, it's either me or Zhang Zihou, and I will be recalled to Beijing for a trip. As long as it is in front of the Son of Heaven, the matter of the expedition to the south can be finalized. In August, they can also go south with the southern army. ”

"Yongzhou has to recruit 2,000 recruits to train first. Many things can be handed over to the accompanying barbarian soldiers, and the backbone of the army is the Western Army from the south, but the errand of the vanguard can only rely on the soldiers of Yongzhou. ”

Li Xin laughed twice: "It just happened that the army led the army to level Zhongzhou Zuozhou, and it can be practiced fiercely, and I don't dare to complain about that group of recruits!" ”

Coming out of the state office, Han Gang can finally go to the state school.

The newly completed state school is much stronger than when it borrowed land from the Chenghuang Temple in the old days. There are three courtyards, six pavilions, classrooms, a temple of literature, and dormitories for students of state studies, with a total of 40 large and small rooms. It can be built in a short period of time, one is that Han Gang has no shortage of manpower, and the other is that most of the masonry beams and columns come from old materials demolished in the city. However, they are all good materials out of ten, and after being painted and plastered with lime, they can't be seen to be old things.

After the completion of the state school, there should be a commemorative text according to the convention, so that the stone can be passed on to future generations. Fan Zhongyan has "The Record of the Establishment of the School in Neighboring Prefectures" and "The Records of the New Construction of Raozhou", and Wang Anshi has the "Records of the Study of Qianzhou", all of which are of the same nature - not only the state studies, but also the completion of buildings in ancient times, often ask famous scholars to write down an article. Teng Zijing asked Fan Zhongyan to write "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is more famous, and Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of Dayjin Hall" written for Han Qi is also circulated in the world.

Now the students in the state school are in awe that they are the ninth in Jinshi, and there are already several books in circulation, and they are the proud protégés of the world's famous Confucian Zhang Zai. When I read and study, I was all the same. But my own business, my own family knows best. In fact, his poetry and articles still can't be used, so he can only entrust them to the masters.

Who should I ask to write it? With Han Gang's identity, he is a little thicker-skinned, and a few people who are still alive in the Tang and Song dynasties can ask for an article. Even if Su Shi and Su Zhe are two brothers, Han Gang has the confidence to ask them to write......

However, among them, the best candidate is only Wang Anshi. As long as you find your father-in-law to write it, most of it is a famous article that has been passed down through the ages. But Han Gang doesn't know if Wang Anshi is in the mood to write now, Wang Yan's physical condition is already very bad, unless there is a miracle, it won't be delayed for long, and it will be too much to work his father-in-law at this time. Although Wang Anshi himself won't care, Han Gang does.

Let's talk about this matter again, and it's nothing to drag on for a year and a half.

After entering the state school, the scholars saw Han Gang, stood up respectfully, and saluted Han Gang, Han Gang's Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor is enough for them to look up, how many Confucians in the world can become bachelors? It's just that no one kneels to worship, and before the Temple of Literature, there is no official who can make the scholar bend his knees.

Yongzhou's literary style is rich in Guangxi, only slightly inferior to Guizhou, when Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Liuzhou, he came to Yongzhou to see his brother Liu Kuan. Outside the city, on the Mahui Mountain, there is also a thatched pavilion. The stone tablet outside the pavilion is engraved with the "Horse Retreat Mountain Mao Pavilion Record" that he left behind.

In the previous years in Yongzhou, Su Mian spent a lot of effort to set up a state school and open up a school field, so that the number of students in Yongzhou State School reached fifty or sixty, and several famous Confucian scholars in Guangxi were also invited to teach. Su Mian himself is also a Jinshi, and he came to study when he had time.

It's just that after a big battle, many scholars died. Now among the Confucians who can stand in the state school to teach scriptures, Han Gang is firmly in the first place. As an old Confucian scholar, his level is not yet at the level of a northern tribute student. Han Gang had the heart to go to the capital and ask if anyone was willing to come to Yongzhou as a school official.

Coming to the pulpit, Han Gang picked up the book and began to teach the students the meaning of the scriptures.

In the state school, in order to allow students to participate in the tribute examination and enter the Beijing entrance examination, the teaching materials used by the professor are all the three classics and new meanings. Han Gang has not been able to change this point until now, even if Zhang Zai has been lecturing in Beijing for a year, the Jingyi Bureau still rejects all theories that do not belong to Xinxue.

However, in private communication, Han Gang can teach some theories that belong to Guan Xue. Speaking of which, most of the students of Yongzhou State Studies are more interested in Professor Han Gang's knowledge of things. From a utilitarian point of view, they have almost no chance of being admitted to the Jinshi, but in another way, those who can invent and create ideas can still be officials. But more importantly, exploring the truth that exists in nature also has a charm that attracts people to indulge in.

Maybe Guan Xue's lineage can take root in Yongzhou, Han Gang thought.
