The state government of Qinzhou was renovated when Han Qi was there, and it has been dilapidated little by little after 20 years. The corners and eaves of the house are all traces left by time. Han Gangkut sat in the side hall of the outer courtyard, looked up at the painted beams above his head, and waited for Guo Kui to send someone to pass it on. I just waited for a long time, and the tea was cold, and no one came.

Han Gang hadn't been treated like this for a long time, and the last time he was left to hang aside and ignored was in Wang Anshi's mansion. And right now in Qinzhou, Han Gang's reputation allows him to be a guest of honor anywhere. It's just that with Guo Kui's identity and status, he was put aside and his grievances were vented, and Han Gang could only laugh at it.

And Guo Kui's anger is not for no reason. The Yuanbian Pacification Division hid everything from Qinzhou, as Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu's top boss, Guo Kui was of course very angry. Although the plan to sneak attack the Xingluo Junction was disguised with the expansion of Weiyuan Fort, the flaws in it were obvious, especially after Yu Zang Huama inserted a bar from it, so that Guo Kui, an old soldier who had been rolling in the army and officialdom for decades, could see through Wang Shao's tricks at a glance, and these things could not be hidden from his eyes at all.

It is impossible for any commander in this world to have a good face for subordinates like Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu who make their own decisions and deceive themselves. Han Gang treats others with himself, and he can understand Guo Kui's anger. It's just that after sitting on the cold bench for a long time, he inevitably has some opinions on Guo Kui's cautious eyes in his heart.

Fortunately, although Han Gang's qi cultivation kung fu is not as good as those Confucian masters, he still has the ability to be happy and angry. The cold tea did not move again, and a full hour passed, and Han Gang sat upright in the middle of the hall, his face was not gloomy.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the courtyard outside the hall, Han Gang listened carefully, but it was Qin Feng's deputy chief Yan who arrived. As far as Han Gang knew, Yanda was in Longcheng County during this time, so that he could support Gangu City or Jingyuan Road in the east at any time. When Han Gang entered the city, he hadn't heard from him yet, probably just returned from Longcheng County.

This time, Liang Yibu went south and mobilized the troops of the whole country to attack the five roads on the edge, including Hedong Road. It was the largest battle between the Song and Xia countries in the past ten years. Compared with the main tone surrounding Hengshan, the battle between the Yuanbian Pacification Division and Yu Zangbu, entangled in the battle between Weiyuan and Xingluo Yucheng, is not even an accompaniment, it can only be regarded as a background sound.

Even Qin Fenglu's attention was not focused on Weiyuan Fort, which was fiercely fighting, and Zhang Shouyue led his troops to garrison Shuiluo City, ready to aid Jingyuan Road at any time. And the capital eunuch Liu Changzuo was stationed in Gangu City, and he also fought a battle with the party members. Yanda is also sitting in Longcheng County behind the two of them, and can support both sides at any time. However, when it comes to the most military exploits, the number of heads in the hands of Wang and Gao is the most, and the number of troops lost is also the most in the Yuanbian Pacification Division.

It looked like it was about half an hour again, and the courtyard, which had been quiet for a while, was noisy again. When Guo Kui ended the meeting with his deputy, he sent Yanda out of the main hall. It's just that Yan Da didn't leave just like that, the footsteps approached from the courtyard, and in a blink of an eye, an ugly face that could frighten children from the deputy capital of Qin Fenglu appeared outside the door of the side hall.

When Han Gang saw it, he stood up and stepped forward to salute: "Han Gang greets the deputy chief." ”

If you are outside, it is okay to call Yan Da the head manager, but at this time, in the Economic Strategy Division, Guo Kui is nearby, Han Gang honestly added the word 'deputy', and Yan Da will not be annoyed by this.

Yan Da stepped into the door, helped Han Gang up, and said with a smile: "Yukun has made a great contribution this time. ”

When this sentence came into his ears, Han Gang was in a state of flux, should it be that he killed the envoy of Western Xia? Although this matter is not a secret among the Yuanbian Pacification Division and the Fan people, due to various reasons, Han Gang has scruples, so he claims to be killed by blind medicine to the outside world, and even the war report writes like this. If the truth is revealed, it will be another crime of deceiving the superiors. He hurriedly humbled himself and said, "The lower official is ashamed and dare not be." ”

The corners of Yan Da's mouth twitched, maybe he was laughing, but it was full of sarcasm. He didn't dwell on this matter, but sat down with Han Gang in the hall. Yan Da, the second person in the Qinzhou military, sat in the hall, and the officials in the hall who were slow to treat Han Gang with Guo Kui's words and expressions finally remembered what their work consisted of, hot tea and sweets, and replaced them with new ones in the blink of an eye.

"Yukun knows why Liang Yi is buried this time?" Yan Da ignored the courtesy of the officials, but asked Han Gang directly, this kind of direct and refreshing personality made people not feel insulted.

Han Gang thought about it and replied in the safest and most widely circulated way: "I only heard that I was forced to retreat by Dong Yu." ”

After all, Han Gang didn't believe in this matter, he just followed the crowd, and Yan Da was Ha Luha laughed for a while: "Yukun, this is for outsiders, if you really take it seriously, it will be a joke." The more than 20,000 people of Dong Yu just took advantage of the situation to send troops, and they did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of Xingling, how could they force Liang Yi to be buried? ”

"I don't know why?" Han Gang asked.

Yan Da didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Rumors about Luo Wu building a city, I don't know if you have heard of Yukun?" ”

Han Gang nodded, the news that Han Jiang and Chong Ge were going to Shura Wucheng had already spread throughout the Kansai Army. Jumping dozens of miles along the Wuding River, building a city close to Yinzhou, such a risky strategy made Han Gang feel shocked. Although, the risk is too great, and the Tangut people will never sit idly by.

Han Gang was suddenly taken aback: "Could it be that Liang Yi has taken the lead?!" ”

Yan Da nodded slowly, he had already made it clear enough, and it was reasonable for Han Gang to speculate: "Liang Yi's expedition this time is a strategy to attack the west. He settled in Jintang City, mainly attacking Dashun City and the nearby military fortress. At this time, the troops of the four roads in Guanxi were all attracted to the past, and they all went to support Huanqing Road, but they forgot about the Wuding River on Yanyan Road. No one could have expected in advance that the purpose of Liang Yi's burial would be placed in Luo Wu. He sighed, there was infinite emotion in his sigh, you must know that Yan Da had been in Yan Yan for a long time before, "Now Luo Wu has buried Liang Yi and repaired it, although it is only a small village, but with Yinzhou behind it, it is basically impossible to capture this place." ”

Han Jiang and Chong Ge did not keep their plans secret, even Qinzhou heard about them here, it is impossible for the pervasive party spies not to inquire about it, and Luo Wu's geographical location is extremely critical, even if Liang Yibury will not believe this bold and almost ridiculous plan, but to take precautions in advance is also a gesture for the prime minister of a country.

'Could it be that Liang Yi's withdrawal this time is because Luo Wu has already been built? ’

Han Gang wanted to ask this question, but he didn't ask it, because he had already thought of the answer.

Everything has a cause and must have an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause. But there is no one-to-one correspondence between cause and effect. The reason corresponding to the result of Liang Yi's retreat cannot be a simple one. On the other hand, Luo Wu successfully built, and since then, Hengshan can also be a little more peaceful, and Liang Yi has lost the heart to fight. The three reasons are reasonable, and when they are combined, Liang Yi is only left with one choice to retreat.

It's just that there is one more thing that makes Han Gang wonder. He didn't know much about this matter, but he had experienced a lot, and he also knew that with the ability of the party members, he couldn't create miracles in military engineering: "With the ability of the thieves in the west to build a city, what kind of appearance can Luo Wu City be built in such a short time?" ”

Yan Da shook his head: "I don't know what to do, the news hasn't come from Yan Yan yet." But I think it's Han Xuanfu who has a headache, and there is a kind of me. ”

Yan Da did not avoid suspicion, and told Han Gang all these things that he would only say to his cronies in private. Han Gang could feel that the deputy manager seemed to have a lot of kindness towards him.

It's just that this makes Han Gang a little strange, he has nothing to do with Yan Da at all. Yanda's position as deputy governor of the capital is a product of the struggle between the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, and it is said that Wen Yanbo strongly advocates it, while he Han Gang is the opposite, and his appointment will be opposed by Wen Yanbo. For Yanda, Wen Yanbo's kindness to him is still above Guo Kui. Even if Guo Kui is transferred from the circle, Yanda shouldn't be too close to him, not to mention that Guo Kui doesn't want to see him now.

Yan Da didn't see what Han Gang was thinking, he still had a question to ask Han Gang: "I don't know what Yukun thinks about the matter of Tuntian?" ”

"It's just the word 'imperative'."

"It's imperative!" Yan Da said with a smile, "Cai Zizheng from Weizhou, that is, the Jinglu pacification envoy of Huanqing Road, only issued an article a few days ago to complain about his suffering. From Weizhou to Guwei, the rice was 200 yuan, which was ten times the original price, and the rest was transferred with the army. ”

Qinzhou consumes military rations, which is difficult to be self-sufficient. The deficiencies are generally supplemented by Guanzhong, and they are on the Weishui line, coming from Fengxiang Mansion. However, a few days ago, there were police in Yanyan and Huanqing, and the materials were all supporting the front line, and there was no inventory. After thinking about it for a long time, I transferred a part of the military grain from the Weizhou hoarding warehouse to Guwei, but this road has to cross Longshan, and this freight is offset into the price of rice, and if it is not doubled or doubled, then there will be ghosts.

"If we can solve some of the problems locally, we can save a lot of freight costs."

Yanda's idea is nothing new. What he wants to do, Han Gang also understands. Wasteland is subcontracted to individuals, and the harvested grain is left for rations and planted grain, which is bought by the government. And these people themselves are also burdened with the task of going into battle to meet the enemy. This approach is similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasty soldiers, but nowadays, it is just a special Tuntian soldier.

Yan Da wanted to say this, "We must speed up Tuntian!" ”
