Chapter 3 Sand Table Military Situation
Hearing someone call the second son, the king raised his eyes to watch. A person walked over from the opposite side of the www.biquge.info, wearing a hat and a fox fur on his body, and he looked like a rich master. The man went up to the king and saluted, looked up and saw that he had pushed the hat with his hand, revealing a round face.
The king looked at this man as he was a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him: "Are you?" ”
"Lord Wang, you noble people are forgetful, I am Jiang Chuan from Linchuan Ruyi Restaurant, I want to see you when I come to the capital, I have been waiting for you for most of the day."
Hearing the name of Ruyi Restaurant, Wang Bian remembered that there was indeed such a person, and then saw that he was from Linchuan, Wang Bian said with a smile: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Jiang, come with me, just I want to hear about the situation in Linchuan." ”
"Whoa!" Jiang Chuan happily agreed, turned around and ran to an ox cart, half of his body leaned into the ox cart and took a box from it, turned around and came back and followed Wang Bei and the others into the palace.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the family members of the palace were busy sweeping away the snowflakes that fell on the stone road, and Jiang Chuan followed behind the king, all looking at the jade trees and silver flowers on both sides of the road with envy. Walking into the hall, it immediately made people feel warm, and when the king took off his cloak and immediately someone came to catch him. Jiang Chuan hurriedly dusted off the unmelted snowflakes on his body.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, please take a seat, how is the situation in Linchuan? Looking at the way you look like the spring breeze, you must have done well in the past few years, right? The king sat down beside him and asked.
Jiang Chuan replied with a smile: "In the past few years, the merchants in Linchuan have been thinking about you, and now we have almost no officials in Linchuan, and all kinds of taxes are also much less, and business is easy to do." ”
"That's good!" Wang Fang nodded with a smile, and Jiang Chuan continued: "But no matter how good Linchuan's business is, it is not as good as Yongzhou." The dog is not talented, but also learned from others to go south, ran to Yongzhou and opened a restaurant around the field outside the city, the business is very hot, this is less than a year of the situation, more than I have been working for many years. Now it's not just Linchuan, I've heard that young people in many places say that they go south to Yongzhou. And most of them returned with a full load, and some people brought things back from Yongzhou to Linchuan to do business, as if anyone who could go to Yongzhou was like coming back with a layer of gold. ”
"Hahaha! That's a good thing. Listening to Jiang Chuan's narration, Wang Bi was very happy.
"Yes, yes, I thought you were different back then, and you will definitely be the dragon and phoenix in the future. I can't imagine that in addition to being able to deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you can also engage in construction. In the future, we will definitely be able to produce a prime minister in Linchuan......" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but praise.
Wang Fang smiled slightly, Jiang Chuan was right, Linchuan will inevitably have a great prime minister, but it will definitely be his father Wang Anshi first. Seeing that Jiang Chuan had been holding the box in his hand, Wang said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to praise me, what is the matter with me?" ”
"Hehe" Jiang Chuan also smiled: "In the past few years, the merchant has a lot of money, and he always wants to show some kindness to the prince, but he will not accept anything if he gives a gift to your house." I heard my son say, what kind of Yongzhou construction bonds do you issue, we are probably afraid that the prince will use the money, and there are not many people who have made up some, and it just so happens that I came to the capital to visit relatives, and the villagers will entrust me to bring it to you. As he spoke, he opened the box, and in it was a wad of silver tickets and a few ingots of gold, and presented it to the king.
"Thank you for me, I can't accept these silver taels!" Wang Bei smiled.
"Lord Wang, if you don't take me back, I can't tell everyone clearly, are you too little?" Jiang Chuan asked with an embarrassed face.
"So be it! Now that the imperial court is issuing Song bonds, I will send someone to take you to Jia Xian, the manager of the Taibao Bank, these silver taels are exchanged for bonds, which can not only let you go back to the past, but also increase the income for everyone, what do you think? ”
"Oh, thank you so much, I thank you on behalf of the merchants in Linchuan." Jiang Chuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Wang ordered He Zhu to take Jiang Chuan to find Jia Xian, and as soon as the two left, Wang Yuanze came to the hall, and said happily when he entered the door: "I know, you still have a way, brother!" ”
"Brother is so happy, it seems that there is a happy event!" Wang looked at Yuan Ze with a smile.
Yuan Ze rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, the appointment of the imperial court is down, so I don't have to go to Najingde County, I can stay in the capital." ”
"Oh? What kind of official position did the imperial court appoint the elder brother? "Wang Bi is not pretending to be stupid, these days he has been busy issuing bonds and preparing to meet the enemy of Western Xia, although he knows that Zhao Ji has re-appointed Yuan Ze, but the specific official position Wang Bi is really not very clear.
"Prince Zhongyun, Chongzheng Hall tells stories!"
Wang Jian listened and smiled, the prince Zhongyun is the fifth grade, and the Chongzheng Palace is also an official name. In the first year of Song Renzong Jingyu (1034), it was mainly for the emperor to lecture on the history of books, explain the meaning of the scriptures, and prepare consultants. Those with profound academic knowledge are lecturers and scholars, and those with lower official rank and less seniority are storytellers. Although the official rank is low and the qualifications are shallow, he is indeed by the emperor's side, and if he can explain the history books to the emperor, if the views can be recognized by the emperor, it is also an infinite future.
"My brother is very knowledgeable, and if I can have this official position, I can live up to my brother's full wealth. It's not like I have a solution, it's a holy approval! ”
Wang Yuanze blinked: "Brother Xian, you should keep it for outsiders, good wine is afraid of deep alleys, without you, I am afraid that my brother has now reached the barren land of the deep mountains and old forests." He saw that Wang Bi didn't speak but smiled, knowing that Wang Bi also acquiesced to his words: "Okay, you are busy with yours, tonight Fan Chunren and Zeng Bu are drinking in Jinxiu Building, if you can come, we will practice it for you." ”
"Okay, I'll try my best, you don't have to wait for me!" The king agreed.
Yuan Ze said as he walked towards the door: "Got it, you're a busy man!" ”
Wang Bi shook his head, now he really wants to drink freely with this brother, but he is already in the middle of the court. Before he could help but sigh, the guards came to report to General Yue Li to ask for a meeting, and the king ordered: "Please General Yue to the study." ”
Yue Li followed the guards to the study next to Wang, who was standing in front of the bookcase with his back to the door, and when he heard Yue Li come in, Wang turned around. "General Yue, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's always been good!"
Yue Li hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Don't come unharmed, Lord Wang." Wang next to Yue Li sat down, the two of them chatted, a few years of not seeing Wang next to sigh that time flies, Yue Li, a young man who was full of energy back then, is now past the age of standing, his reddish face shows a bit of maturity, and his lower forehead has grown a beard to make him look calm and serious.
Thinking that this Yue Li was actually Yue Fei's grandfather, Wang Bei couldn't help but be in awe, but he felt even more honored to be called a brother and sister with this person. He ordered someone to serve tea, and then said: "Brother Yue just arrived in the capital, and he has worked hard all the way. ”
"Where, I dare not slack off when I am ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition this time, I am very happy to hear that the prison army is the prince, and it is also my honor to be able to fight side by side with the prince! I'm here today to discuss our marching plan. I set off the day after tomorrow, I have already counted the people and horses, and this time I led a team of 30,000 reinforcements to Yanzhou, just waiting for the prince to give an order. ”
"Brother Yue, you are the commander-in-chief of this dispatch, why are you waiting for my order?" Wang said with a smile.
Yue Li also smiled: "I'm afraid that my commander-in-chief doesn't have as much combat experience as you, Lord Wang, and I set off so quickly this time, I'm afraid that I have something to think about it." ”
Wang stood up: "Okay, let's not be polite to each other, Brother Yue, come with me!" As he spoke, he walked towards the wing, Yue Li followed the king into the wing, and as soon as he entered the door, Yue Li was stunned, and there was a strange decoration on a large table with four chapters, the size of this decoration was as big as this big table, and there were edges around the decoration, and inside was the appearance of the terrain made of sand, and there were some small flags planted on it.
"W-what is this?" Looking at the king who was walking beside this decoration with his hands behind his back, Yue Li asked in surprise.
"It's called a sand table!"
"Sandbox?"
"That's right! In the eighth year of Han Jianwu, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice for the valley and pointed to the situation", so that Emperor Guangwu suddenly had the feeling of "captive in my eyes", which was the sand table of the ancients. It's too extravagant to make a sand table with rice, I asked Zhang Ping to fold Kejun and the two generals, according to the map of the border between Yanzhou and Western Xia, this thing is very intuitive, do you think it's very intuitive? ”
"High, high!" Yue Li raised his big finger and admired: "It seems that the prince has already worked hard, and I am worried that I have not been to Yanzhou, and I am not familiar with the terrain for fear of making mistakes, so I want to ask the prince to give an order." ”
Wang pointed to the sign on the sand table and said: "General Yue, look, there are seventeen villages in Yanzhou, among which the two villages from the northwest of the village to Huaining Suiping are the key to guarding the palace. These two villages are 40 miles to Baicao Village in the east, 40 miles to Shihu Village in the southwest, 40 miles to Suizhou in the north, 40 miles to Huaining Village in the west, and 50 miles to Qingjian City in the south. Now there is a kind of instrument guarding Yanzhou, which is said to be impregnable; Qinfeng Road has a fold Kexing town guarding Luzhou Bazhai. It's okay for the time being; There are seven villages in Weizhou: the most important of them is Dingchuan Village, Dingchuan Village controls the Liupan Mountain area in the west, 40 miles to the state in the east, 20 miles to Zhaolin Village in the west, 30 miles to Yizhou Zhengguan in the southwest, and 30 miles to Dongshanzhai in the north. This is the place where Li Liangzuo of Western Xia often attacked. There's a kind of guard here, and I'm not too worried when I arrive. You look at the eleven villages in Yuanzhou, including three Sichuan villages, between the three rivers of Longchuan, Tianma and Wuyan. The west controls the Miao'e Mountain area in the northwest into the Tiandu Mountain Road, can go to Lingwu, the land is wide and flat, and the water grass is beautiful. West to Tianma River, north to Dingchuan Village, go to Haoshui River Baili. This is where Li Liangzuo always succeeds. Since we are reinforcements, my idea is that we will go to Sanchuan Village, and at the same time let Wang Shao mobilize Tubo to harass Xiliang Mansion in Western Xia, distract the attention of Western Xia and buy time for our reinforcements. ”
Yue Li's eyes straightened when he heard this, and when the king finished speaking, he said admiringly, "Okay!" Lord Wang, my Yue is simply impressed by you and has nothing to say. In the opinion of the prince! ”
