I don't know who gave him eye medicine in front of the Son of Heaven, Han Gang thought with some annoyance.

This kind of rhetoric will not be uttered with the political wisdom of a kind of man, and if he says it, he will have an enmity with him Han Gang.

What the Shaanxi army is looking forward to him is going to be a transfer with the army and guard the back road. The matter of capturing Hengshan has not yet been skimmed, and the people from where they came from said. It's not that someone is secretly making it bad, as long as one is not good, it will arouse the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, and at least it will leave a bad impression.

Fortunately, his previous position on Xihe Road was an assistant, and he only made a fuss about transportation and injury and illness care, and his actions in the two positions after going to Beijing deepened this impression. If you have personally commanded a large army, instead of a few scattered battles guarding the rear road, then it will be very troublesome to support the army.

"Dare to ask who said that?" Han Gang's face was stiff, in the face of such a fatal thing, he didn't mind letting go of the anger in his heart.

"Yanzhou Horse."

Wang Anshi reported an unexpected answer, and Han Gang was stunned when he heard it.

"Don't overthink it, Yukun," Wang Yan said with a smile, "Your reputation in the Yanyan Army is very good. ”

Han Gang nodded and smiled back, but he still couldn't let go in his heart. Whether it is true or not, it is by no means a good thing for the military to report its favorability towards itself. And being in the court, how can people not think about it. Yanzhou Zouma ...... When I go back, I have to find out what is going on with him.

"Yukun, are you not optimistic about this battle?"

In the military, the New Party actually can't get many talents, Wang Shao and Wang Anshi are not of the same mind at all, and after entering the Privy Council, the only contact with the New Party is Han Gang. Zhang Dian only showed off his might in Jingnan, relying on the generals of the Western Army as the core. Speaking of which, Han Gang has had the experience of fighting against the Western Thieves and the Tibetan Tribe. And when he said that Yokoyama couldn't succeed, he really failed.

"Today's situation is a hundred times stronger than when Xining was three or four years old. Whether it is a soldier or an ordnance, it is far better than in the past. The thief is getting weaker and weaker. Back then, it was just a failure, but now if it weren't for the marriage with the Khitan, the western thief would be like a fish swimming in a kettle, just waiting for Wang Shi to sweep it away. ”

"Oh!" Wang Anshi's face was happy, "Can you really win?" ”

Han Gang shook his head: "The war is never accurate. No matter how much preparation you have made in advance, how much confidence you have, and a small mistake can be fully compensated. However......" he smiled again, the real overwhelming advantage of the Great Song Dynasty is not the military strength, "The national strength of the Western Thieves is actually completely unable to compete with China, as long as the generals are not greedy for merit, step by step, and gradually advance, even if they can't win for a while, the Western Thieves will not be able to support it." ”

"I see." Wang Anshi nodded, and said with a smile, "The world said that Yukun is calm in your use of soldiers, and it is indeed true." ”

Han Gang didn't laugh: "It's just that the only thing that worries people is the Khitan!" How much time will Lord Liao and King Yixin of Wei give us? ”

Can Zhao Ji really withstand the pressure of the Liao? Han Gang had a deep question.

……………………

Will Western Xia die?

After Han Gang returned from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had been thinking about this matter.

It's now eight years of Xining, not three years of Xining. Because of his own existence, the development of history has deviated from the direction of what he knew. Whether the Yokoyama strategy can succeed this time, Han Gang can no longer be as sure as he was a few years ago. If you participate in it and help as much as you can, it is very likely that you will witness history - Han Gang has enough confidence in himself, both in judgment and ability.

However, his pursuit of this answer is not urgent. There was still a long time before the start of the war, and it was not yet time for him to leave the armory.

The war that the Great Song Dynasty is going to start is by no means a pat on the head of the Prime Minister of the Son of Heaven above, and the next edict will do. Especially in the face of a country like Western Xia, which has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, under normal circumstances, there must be at least half a year of planning period to determine the commanders and generals, prepare grain and military materials, and collect soldiers and horses, otherwise no one will dare to go to war lightly.

- Of course, this is only true for the Song people. For the Western Xia and Liao States, as long as the money and food invaded the Song Realm, they could have as much as they wanted, and all that was needed was the time to send messengers to give orders and assemble troops.

Now that the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division has not yet been established, and the coach has not been decided, there is still a long time to watch the troops in Hengshan, which is also the common judgment of the world.

However, the development of events was completely unexpected by the world and Han Gang. The next development was not the establishment of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, but the imperial court issued an edict to appoint Jingzhou Zhizhou Wuxin as the governor of Yanzhou, and the original Yanzhou governor Zhao Yu was transferred to Qingzhou and concurrently served as the envoy of Huanqing Road.

"Wouldn't it?! Did you hear it wrong? When he heard the news in the ordnance superintendent, Han Gang's first reaction was to doubt the authenticity of the news.

"If you give up people, what the villain hears with his own ears, there will never be a mistake." Han Xiao, who came to report the news, swore a curse in front of Han Gang.

"yes, that's a good job." Han Gang waved his hand and motioned for Han Xiao to go down.

In the public hall where there was only one person left, Han Gang's fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, "It seems that there is no Xuan Fu envoy." ’

Wuxin used to be the governor of Yanzhou before Zhao Yu, but he was only a transition at that time, and he was replaced by Zhao Yu after a month. In addition, he is Lu Dafang's son and daughter's family, and Han Gang has also heard about it.

Wu Xin once served as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Transport, and he also has the ability. But there are not many legends about his military talents. Now that he has made a comeback and overthrown Zhao Yu, this appointment only proves one thing, that is, the imperial court does not want someone to give Chong Ge command over Yan Yanjun, and the only value of Wu Xin is to rely on past experience to do a good job in the logistics of Chong Ge.

However, it is impossible for Dunyan Road to fight against Western Xia with the strength of all the way, and Dunyan Road still needs the help of the neighboring Huanqing Road and Hedong Road after all. Without higher-level coordination, how can the two sides strike at the right time, instead of competing for credit and delaying the fighter?

Is it a disguise deliberately released to deceive the Tangut people? Han Gang couldn't help but guess.

Just like the Battle of Changping, the news that Bai Qi was the commander of the Qin army was hidden until the time of the fall of the Zhao army. Otherwise, how could this appointment, which is shrouded in a fog of confusion inside and out, pass through the Cabinet and the Privy Council?

But this guess is completely impossible, the Great Song Dynasty is not the Qin State, and the affairs of the court are not played like this, where can the secret be kept in the colander-like Chongzheng Palace.

"Now Yukun, don't you have to go to Yanzhou?" That night, when Han Gang and Wang Yan met, Wang Yan said to Han Gang with a smile.

Han Gang twitched the corners of his mouth, and he was laughing: "That's right." ”

He, Han Yukun, is already the second governor of the state, so it is no problem for him to give a hand to the Xuanfu envoy, but the first Xuanfu judge can compete with the transfer envoy and the sentencing envoy in the Road Branch Supervision Division. But to give a hand to the envoy of the scriptures, do you still want him to do the words of Jiyi?

The former governor of Yanzhou who was eliminated by Wu Xin - Zhao Yu Zhao Gongcai, when he was sent to Yanzhou in the fourth year of Xining, the official was the right secretary of the seventh grade, and the post was Zhilong Tuge, and the official of Xining was promoted in five years, the same as Han Gang now. Let him be Wu Xin's deputy, and the court will not make such jokes.

"If it weren't for Yukun, you would be too young, in fact, you would have the right to send it to Yanzhou."

If he is really regarded as the governor of Yanzhou, then he will inevitably establish the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, just like when Zhao Yu concurrently served as the Xuanfu judge and the governor of Yanzhou, otherwise how can a mere seven-grade Wenchen suppress the local military generals. Han Gang shook his head and sighed: "The prestige is too bad, I can't suppress the cultivation of five, and there is that arrogant general." ”

Wang Yan Ha Ha Da smiled: "Yukun, you are talking nonsense, how can there be more prestige between civil and military?" It's a kind of unruly and unruly, you have the order of the Son of Heaven in your body, and you assign him to act, does he dare not obey? ”

This is a common problem at this time, and Han Gang does not fight with Wang Yan. smiled: "But among the Wenchens, the younger brother can't compare with others." ”

"Isn't it the same for a foolish brother?"

Nowadays, the courtiers who were born as scholars are counted according to their generations, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Zhang Fangping, and Han Qi, who has recently become seriously ill, are considered to be a generation of sixty or seventy-year-old ministers, all of whom emerged in the middle of Renzong, and were in charge of the government in the later period. But they are also already old, retired, and dead, and will soon retire from the stage of history.

Next, Wang Anshi, Wang Qi, Feng Jing, Wu Chong, and Sima Guang, who entered the officialdom during the Qingli and Huangyou [around 1040] years, are another generation. In their fifties, they have successively occupied the highest positions in the court, and now the struggle between the old and new parties is centered on them.

Further down, those who entered the officialdom during the Jiayou period [around 1056] are the third generation now, among which Lu Huiqing is the highest, and the following Zeng Bu, Zhang Dan, Su Shi, Su Zhe, and even Zhang Zai and Cheng Hao all belong to this generation. The high ones can participate in the governor's affairs and the imperial history, and those who are unlucky are still in the selection process, but most of them have entered the Beijing Dynasty official level, and they are the backbone of the middle and low-level officials.

The last is the official who has been promoted to the rank of Jinshi in the past few years in Yingzong and today's son, and he has a future, but he has not yet performed enough, so he can only look forward to the future. As for Han Gang, it is really an outlier. The vast majority of those who are one subject earlier than him and the same subject as him are still up and down in the sea of election, and I don't know when they will be able to complete the five cuts and be able to become officials. Of course, Wang Yan, who was sitting opposite Han Gang, was also another outlier.

sat down with Wang Yan and chatted for a night, what was the purpose of this appointment, and Han Gang also learned from Wang Yan that another purpose of letting the seed man be in charge of the overall situation was to be able to shut up the mouth of the Liao State.

"After all, we still have to take care of the Liao people. If the envoy of the Northern Dynasty asks questions, it is easier to say a little. …… It's just a border dispute, don't you see that only the Yanyan Road family has been moved? Wang Yan's smile was full of irony.

Han Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly. After coming out of the restaurant, saying goodbye to Wang Yan, he rode on his horse and walked home, the Milky Way crossed the deep blue sky, and thousands of stars shone like jewels.

At this time, a meteor pierced the northern sky, leaving a shadow of light in the eyes of many people. Han Xiao, who was leading the horse for Han Gang, muttered in front, "I don't know where the dead man is." ”

"Nonsense." Han Gang scolded with a smile.

However, the next night, a piece of news shook the entire city of Tokyo

- Xiangzhou Han Qi passed away!
