Chapter 218: The Advantage of the First Move

The people of Lin'an know that West Lake is one of the best places to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the West Lake under the bright moon, countless boats shuttle and wander on it, the lake is covered with a piece of gold, the water waves are not happy, it looks like a girl dressed in golden scales and tranquil, quiet, peaceful, beautiful, incomparably beautiful, intoxicating,

From time to time there are bursts of cheerful sounds in the cruise ship on the lake, singing, laughter, eating and drinking, punching, intertwined ups and downs, among the many cruise ships, Jia Yidao's "insect boat" deserves to be the most, but tonight's "insect boat" is extraordinarily quiet,

The insect boat docked at one of the treasures of the West Lake to admire the moon - the moon in the three pools,

Jia Yidao seemed to be preoccupied, looking out the window indifferently, Liao Yingzhong, Weng Yinglong, the Fan brothers and others were also silently drinking alcohol, and Wu Junhan was still sitting on the sidelines, and the people in the cabin were all silent, and there was no atmosphere of festivity.

"Master Tai, Wen Hu toasts you." Fan Wenhu raised his wine glass and broke the silence and said,

"Oh." Jia Rudao came back to his senses after a while, "Okay, drink." ”

"Taishi, how do you think Your Majesty will carry out the military restructuring this time?" Fan Wenhuan asked cautiously,

Jia Rudao didn't answer, but said to Liao Yingzhong: "Yingzhong, what do you think." ”

"My lord, Your Majesty's intention may be that his subordinates are just speculating, or maybe they want to take back military power."

"Brother Liao, I don't think so, the surprise attack of the Mongol Ashu must have made Your Majesty feel fear, so Your Majesty wants to increase investment in the army in the name of change, such as buying war horses, expanding the horse army, and the like." Weng Yinglong retorted,

Liao Yingzhong smiled: "Brother Yinglong, Your Majesty is not a cowardly person, and my dynasty has always lacked horses, and now the surrounding land is occupied by Mongolia, where will there be horses to buy, so I think the restructuring that Your Majesty wants must be based on the existing mechanism." ”

Fan Wenhu asked: "Then according to Brother Liao's intentions, is Your Majesty going to change the forbidden army?" ”

"It's possible."

"Yingzhong, the old man also agrees with your point of view, you have to speak more carefully."

"Yes, my lord, today's army of our dynasty is divided into two parts, one is the town border army in each war zone, and the other is the Beijing Forbidden Army, this forbidden army has always been under the control of adults, so if Your Majesty wants military reform, the first thing to bear the brunt of must be the forbidden army, and then look at the town border army, the border army belongs to the three major war zones, Kawanaka Gundam and others are not my friends, but Kawanaka has always been the key point of the Song and Mongolian wars, for us, whether it is an enemy or a friend is not very big, because Gundam's energy will be used to fight against Mongolia, even if he is towards His Majesty, he has no time to take care of the changes in the court, Lord Lu in the Xiangfan War Zone is regarded as a protégé of the adult's cronies, and there is no doubt that he will support the adult, and the biggest variable is Yangzhou Li Tingzhi, that Lord Li's surname is Ge Reading, although it is promoted from the adult, but it is difficult to grasp, my lord, my subordinates have been in the court since they became officials, and they have gradually understood His Majesty's surname, His Majesty's surname is resolute, once he has made up his mind, it is difficult to change, so for the military reform proposed by His Majesty, if the adult blindly opposes it, it is likely to cause a conflict between the adult and His Majesty, The subordinates thought that the best way was to persuade Lord Li Tingzhi and ask him and Lord Lu to jointly write a letter to stop His Majesty, which was the best policy. ”

"Li Tingzhi."

"My lord, this is the key."

Fan Wenhu snorted and said: "Li Tingzhi is unreliable, I have long felt that this life is rebellious, and it is not my heart." ”

"Hugh should be presumptuous." Jia Rudao scolded,

Liao Yingzhong said again: "If the border army does not support His Majesty's military reform, coupled with the opposition of the forbidden army, then Your Majesty may not make up his mind." ”

"Well, Yingzhong, with your understanding of Zhao Yu, how do you think he will change the military system?"

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and when it comes to military affairs, my subordinates can't come up with it."

Although Liao Yingzhong is smart and well-versed in government affairs, he is not familiar with military affairs at all, and it is already commendable to be able to analyze so much, Jia Rudao felt a little regretful at this time, he should have let Liao Yingzhong enter the military in the first place,

Since Jia Nidao became the privy envoy of the Privy Council, Jia Nidao has always believed that he can cover the sky with one hand in the army, so he also arranged his most trusted Liao Yingzhong to the government affairs system.

However, judging from Jia Nidao's surname, he will not hand over the military power to one person, even if this person is Liao Yingzhong, who is his most trusted person, Jia Nidao will only think in his heart that only he can fully believe it, this is Jia Nidao's philosophy of doing things, and it is one of his decades of experience in being an official and holding a high position.

Jia Rudao thought for a while and said: "Yingzhong, you immediately drafted a letter for the old man, and the old man asked him to send it to Yangzhou overnight, well, the wording should be tactful, Li Tingzhi eats soft and not hard, I hope to persuade him with the affection of the old man, Li Tingzhi also replied to the letter last time, and it was all polite." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand."

"Jia Xuan, the pen and ink next door are waiting, Yingzhong, you go to write, and then come over to eat and drink after writing."

"Yes."

Jia Yidao asked again: "Wen Huan, as the secretary of the military department, you are more familiar with military affairs than Liao Yingzhong, if it were you, how would you change it?" ”

"Taishi, the current war at the border is not stable, so if it were me, I would start with the forbidden army first." Fan Wenhuan said, "Taishi, you think, if the restructuring of the border army causes turmoil, it will inevitably give the Mongols a chance, when they are not fully grasped, they should not act easily, and the forbidden army is currently in the hands of the Taishi, and there is no war at the moment, if Your Majesty wants to take back the military power, he should take the forbidden army and the military department to fight, this Wen Huan also agrees with Brother Liao's words, and the most likely way is nothing more than two ways, the first is to replace the generals in the forbidden army and the main officials of the military department, and the second is to reorganize the forbidden army after it is dispersed." ”

Weng Yinglong continued: "Taishi, there may be another way. ”

"Yes, Ying Long, you say."

"Your Majesty's intention in setting up the Administrative Council is to gradually bring the political power into it, so in the same way, Your Majesty can also set up a Military Affairs Yuan and slowly take back the power of military affairs." Weng Yinglong was very angry with the Government Council, so he was deeply impressed,

"Yes, that's quite possible."

"Both." Jia Rudao turned his head and said, "As a bystander, if it were you, what would you think?" ”

"Taishi, Jun Han thinks, Lord Fan, what Lord Weng said is very reasonable, Your Majesty is very likely to use all three methods, which is similar to the combination punch that our martial arts practitioners use when facing the enemy."

"Combo punches."

"Well, the master has a move, especially in the situation of the same level, a move and a style are often impossible to win, only the move in the move, the formula in the style, combined together to attack the other party, it is possible to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, so as to find out its weaknesses, and destroy it in one fell swoop."

"Yes, that's right."

"Taishi." Wu Junhan said, "Although Junhan doesn't understand military affairs, he feels that His Majesty seems to have taken the lead. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Taishi, Jun Han thinks that the early reduction of the box army, and the recent general Xia Gui's expedition to Luzhou, may be His Majesty's first step in military reform in advance."

Fan Wenhuan said with a smile: "It shouldn't be such a coincidence, Your Majesty encountered the Mongols attacking our dynasty for the first time after ascending the throne, and several generals of our dynasty were killed, so I think this is a normal reaction, and it should be human nature." ”

Jia Rudao also smiled slightly: "Junhan's words are not all unreasonable, but the old man also agrees with Wen Huan's words, this time even if Zhao Yu is not afraid, he is at least very nervous in his heart, so he thought of the military restructuring, Xia Gui sent troops in front, but it caused Jun Yu to have such a feeling, but this matter is in response to what you said, Zhao Yu's first move of the combination of punches has been unconsciously made out, but he himself may not know it." ”

Wu Junhan said: "The words of the master are very true. ”

"What should come will come." Jia Rudao raised his voice slightly and said, "You continue to eat wine and food, and the old man will think about it himself." ”

Although the Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, but the three powers in the DPRK and China are aware of the important surname of military power, and the truth of "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" is still understood, as soon as I mention the reform of the army, Xie Daoqing and Jia Yidao are thinking about what kind of results will appear at the same time,

This Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year of Xianchun looks very interesting.

The courtyard of reading power in the north of the north of the Thousand Islands,

The owner of the house was sitting on a high chair and whispered: "One heart is divided into two, one hand draws a circle, one hand draws a circle, and at the same time it can be formed, it can be continued, the left and right are divided, the heart belongs to the other, one controls the left, one controls the right, reads and controls, is not interfered with, is impartial, and treats it in a balanced manner. When cultivating, you can only go hand in hand at the same time, cultivating yin with one heart and cultivating yang with one heart, so that there is a chance to cultivate to the extreme yin and yang before feathering, and then the two are fused, or you can be ranked in the immortal class. ”

The gray-clothed old man Suo Wuji said: "Master, this Red Pine Sutra is the treasure of the Red Pine View of Zhenguan, and according to legend, it is the relics left by the two great immortals before they ascended, and the meaning of this scripture is not difficult to explain, but it is really difficult to use one heart and two purposes at the same time. ”

"Well, this is natural, otherwise after so many years, even the masters of Chisongguan have never appeared again, let alone ascending to immortals."

"Yes, master, this scripture says that cultivators must practice yin and yang to the extreme at the same time, and then fuse them so that they can enter the Tao, but the argument of today's martial arts is to advocate the simultaneous cultivation of yin and yang, which seems to be similar, but in fact they are thousands of miles different."

"Suo Lao, maybe the Red Pine Sutra has another deep meaning."

Suo Wuji hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, how can you use one heart for two purposes, my subordinates think that this Red Pine Sutra is not worthy of its name, maybe it is a forgery of others, and my subordinates still persuade the master not to cultivate this scripture, so as not to go mad." ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's okay, Suo Lao, you know that I have had two major wishes since I was a child, one is to enter the inner hall of the Valley of the Kings to explore the mystery of life and death; The second is to establish a harmonious Jiangshan Sheji, both of which need chance, the second point of chance is the Song and Mongolian war, when both sides are defeated, my alliance will rise from the cause, as for the first point of the opportunity, I think maybe it is this red pine scripture, I have seen the stone wall engraved with scriptures in the red pine view, the stone wall is extremely hard, and the handwriting on it is made with a finger as a carving knife, even I don't have this ability, you think who will be able to fake it, although' Red pine is the fate of 'just my intuition, but I also have to give it a try, for the madness, Suo Lao rest assured, I just need to protect the soul clearly, if there is a slight achievement, I will let you protect the Dharma for me, with your psychic**, you can get me out of the demon at any time. ”

Suo Wuji frowned slightly: "Master, there is such a possibility, but the subordinates dare not guarantee it." ”

"Suo Lao, how sure are you?"

"Master, subordinates are only sixty percent sure."

The middle-aged man got up and patted Suo Wuji and said, "That's enough, it's already more than half." ”

Suo Wuji still didn't give up, and continued to persuade: "Master think twice. ”

"Suo Lao, of course I know your concerns, don't you believe that I have this ability."

"The subordinates don't dare, the master is a genius, and he is really the only one he has seen in his subordinates' lives, but it's just ,,,,,。"

The middle-aged man looked resolute: "I have made up my mind, Suo Lao doesn't need to persuade him anymore, Suo Lao should try to improve your psychic method, so that you can raise your possible surname to seventy percent, or even more." ”

Suo Wuji said helplessly: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

The middle-aged man's face softened and said, "Well, Suo Lao, is the young lady back?" ”
