After returning to the city, Liu Ping took those sergeants back to the barracks to put their luggage first, and at the same time took a few hours off, so that they could go back to see their families if they were nearby. It's okay if you want to go back www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion, but you have to tell the chief that there is no place for him at the evening celebration banquet.

In fact, the celebration banquet is a form, but for these ordinary soldiers, most people don't want to miss such an opportunity for them to see the emperor, their home is really far away, and it makes no difference if they go back a day later, so those who are soldiers are basically relaxing in the city, casinos, hook bars, wine shops, is their favorite place to go.

The teahouse is not good, that thing is not to their liking, a few snacks are not enough to eat, and it is expensive, they never go to that kind of place.

Liang Huaiji is now in the teahouse, he picked up the teapot and poured tea into the bowl opposite: "I will be in the army in the future, Lord Chen is going to form a cavalry, Bai Yutang injured his prison army, I wrote an excerpt, I want to go to him as a prison army." ”

Sitting opposite him was Li Wei, and the scar on Li Wei's head shook obviously: "What? ”

The first thing Liang Huaiji did when he came back was to find Li Wei, Li Wei thought that Liang Huaiji was coming to rob the eldest princess with him again, he was thinking very clearly now, this matter should be decided by the eldest princess herself, if the eldest princess wants to leave, then he will definitely not keep it. If the eldest princess chooses to reunite with herself, if Liang Huaiji dares to say anything, she will kill him immediately.

But he never thought that Liang Huaiji was leaving, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liang Huaiji smiled: "I admired you on the battlefield once, I heard my brothers say that when you faced thousands of party cavalry, I really don't know how you persevered." When I'm on the battlefield, the most I think about is running, I want to turn around and run, really, my body turns around a lot of times. ”

Li Wei nodded: "I also thought about it, but later I found out that the horses of the party members were very fast, and I couldn't outrun them at all." ”

Liang Huaiji sighed, leaned back, and his legs involuntarily parted. It was a manly gesture that he had learned from the soldiers in the barracks. He liked it, even if it looked insulting.

"I was wrong about what happened before, I hope you can forget about it, be kind to the princess, and talk to her more, in fact, she needs to be taken care of by others."

Liang Huaiji said this, his voice suddenly trembled, he immediately stopped, and took a deep breath: "I won't appear next to the princess in the future, I think it's good in the army, at least those brothers treat me as a normal person." Tomorrow I want to be like you, and choose my brother's child from the battlefield, just as my own. ”

He smiled again, the kind of smile that was very happy.

Li Wei shook his head: "I also plan to go back to the army, in fact, you made me understand one thing this time." ”

Liang Huaiji asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Wei leaned back like him: "Even if I am a colt, I have to do my own thing, even if I don't succeed, at least I have to be like a man in charge and work hard outside." I want to make the princess feel that I am a person, not an appendage by her side. Otherwise, although you are gone this time, there may be a Li Huaiji coming out next time. ”

Liang Huaiji looked at Li Wei, Li Wei was also looking at him, and both of them smiled slowly.

Chen Yuan didn't have a chance to go home, he had to follow Renzong to the court immediately, explain some problems, and discuss some problems.

Renzong's words just now are very amazing. Fighting the Liao State and recovering the lost territory is indeed something that all the Song people want to do, but it is obviously unrealistic to bring it up now. The Liao State is not a party item, the territory of the Liao State is larger than the Song Dynasty, and those who forget the war will perish, just like the Great Song Dynasty. Those who fight in vain will also perish, just like Li Yuanhao.

This truth is obviously not clear to Renzong.

He was extremely forgetful at first, even forgetting that the fists in his hands were very powerful. But now, he has gone from one extreme to the other. He went from not believing in his own power to believing that he had infinite power.

This is like a third-rate master on the rivers and lakes, suddenly defeating a famous disciple, and then thinking about challenging the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is very unrealistic. Many of the factors that contributed to the Song Dynasty's victory in this battle came from outside the battlefield, the economic blockade of the Dang Xiang people in the early stage, the devastation of that round of raids, and the fact that the entire region was in crisis due to food problems, so that Li Yuanhao had no way to display his military talents.

If it is really an upright contest on the battlefield, even if the Song Dynasty will win, it will inevitably be a miserable victory with all its efforts.

The Liao State was different, the Liao State had its own economic backbone, which was not very strong but enough for him to maintain his rule.

Moreover, no matter how good a strategy is, it is stupid to take it up to deal with the Liao State after killing the party. The people of the Liao must be vigilant, as long as the Song Dynasty dares to block their economy, the army of the Liao State will come over immediately, and they will definitely not let the Song Dynasty concoct them step by step like they did with the party.

The Liao people have material reserves, and if they are ruthless, they can mobilize millions of troops. The most unfavorable thing for the Song Dynasty was that the Song army had a certain degree of cowardice in the face of the Liao State. This kind of psychology takes time to overcome, and it requires a lot of propaganda work from the imperial court. The quality of the Song army is indeed inferior to that of the Liao State on the whole, and even if the new army is restructured, there must be a period of running-in.

There are also the emotions of those Fan states to consider, once they find out that the Song Dynasty has become belligerent, things may be very serious.

The most important thing is the internal problem, the Song Dynasty fought the party was the consensus of the whole people, although there were voices of peace in the court, it was also out of fear of defeat and the interests of that small group. Naturally, we can win if we work together.

If the war against the Liao State was launched immediately, there would be many opponents, after all, many people wanted to enjoy peace for a period of time after the party was defeated.

These are all difficulties, and there are always difficulties, and we must find ways to overcome them one by one.

The most difficult thing for Chen Yuan to overcome was Renzong's attitude. This old man is a kind of surname with his surname, and his fire burns up as quickly as it goes out. It is indeed more difficult to deal with the problems than to keep Renzong enthusiastic without burning the fire too much.

Fan Zhongyan was not in favor of immediately starting a war with the Liao State. In fact, several people who heard Renzong say this sentence did not approve except for Pang Ji, but they didn't dare to say that the emperor was in a good mood now, and no one wanted to raise this unhappy question at this time, so that Renzong's joy would disappear.

If you make the emperor unhappy, the consequences are very serious.

But Fan Zhongyan didn't care about this, and after entering Renzong's study, he was the first to say: "Long live, Weichen thinks that my Great Song Dynasty has not yet the ability to recover the lost land, and the first thing to do now is to implement the new policy, make my Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, and then complete the will of Emperor Taizu." ”

Renzong's face really flashed with a hint of unhappiness: "Fan Aiqing, I think this new policy should be implemented, but the Liao State should also be fought." The fact that we have won the war in such a serious food crisis shows that our new army is capable of fulfilling its mission. ”

These are fundamentally two different things, Fan Zhongyan knows that Renzong's heart must be equal, you see that the new army of the Song Dynasty killed Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao defeated Liao Xingzong, then the new army will definitely be able to win the Liao State.

But the war is not counted like this, when Fan Zhongyan was about to explain, Xia Zhu suddenly stepped forward: "Long live, Weichen thought that this victory was completely caused by the unity of our Song Dynasty and the unity of the army and the people, and the people were hungry to help the Song army save food and grass, and every minister was loyal to his duties, so that he could defeat the party and kill Li Yuanhao." ”

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but nod, including Chen Yuan, who also saluted in a proper manner and said, "What Taiwei Xia said is exactly that without the support of your lords and the support of the people, we would not have been able to carry out the plan so smoothly. ”

Xia Zhu smiled: "So, Weichen thinks that the new deal is absolutely impossible to implement!" Once the new policy is implemented, local officials will be uneasy, and the people's hearts will fluctuate. How can we win the battle again? ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, his beard rose up: "Lord Taiwei! The reason why the new army can win the battle is precisely because we have implemented the new policy in the army, which shows that our methods are very good, and there is no reason to give up halfway?"

Xia Zhu puffed up his chest: "The army has successfully implemented the new policy, we have won the battle, according to the old man, if you want to win the Liao country, you must maintain the stability of my Great Song Dynasty, and the other provisions of this new policy can no longer be implemented!" ”

Speaking of this, even Chen Yuan admired Xia Zhu a little, he was a standard fallacy! But he can say it openly, and the timing of the choice is so appropriate, what Renzong wants to do most now is to go and beat down the Liao Xingzong who has been bullying him, Xia Zhu is telling Renzong that it may be dangerous to implement the new policy, you can do it now, you can win.

This is a joke about the country, and the war in exchange for the interests of their conservatives is even more villain than Pang Ji's villainous behavior. If Pang Ji said such a thing, Fan Zhongyan would not think so.

But he didn't expect that Xia Zhu said this, and he was really angry in his heart.

Renzong waved his hand: "Don't make any noise, Chen Shimei, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "Long live, Weichen thinks that what the two adults said is reasonable, this matter of starting a war with the Liao State cannot be rushed, but we should be ready at any time, if there is really a chance, we will never let it go." Regarding the new policy, Wechen has talked to many local officials this time, even if other problems can be put aside for the time being, redundant officials have really reached a time when they can't be solved, so Wechen suggested that redundant officials be abolished immediately. ”

Chen Yuan pointed the finger at the most controversial in the new policy, and it was also a position that both sides were bound to win, and Renzong's study suddenly became lively, and Sima Guang took a step forward: "Long live, what Lord Chen said is not true, only five local officials along the way are in favor of abolishing redundant officials!" Lord Chen, why did you deceive the Holy One? ”

Chen Yuan pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Really? Then why didn't they object to the dismissal of personnel? ”

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment: "When did you say in front of them that you were going to lay off personnel?" All I hear you ask them what they think about it. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Hehe, Sima Jianjun, it's just that your position is too low, and you weren't there when I said this to those people." ”

Sima Guang was immediately annoyed, but he had nothing to refute. The whole face turned purple.

The topic began, and naturally some people followed to quarrel, Chen Yuan's official position was not very high, and there was nothing to quarrel with these old men. He slowly retreated, retreated to Sima Guang's side, and whispered, "How about it, how about we make another bet?" ”

Sima Guang forcibly pressed the breath in his heart: "Bet on what?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "I bet that within half a year, I can make this new policy implemented." If I lose, I'll give you three hundred. ”
