Yelu Hugo gradually walked down the altar of God, believing that many people in the Liao Kingdom were in mourning, but for the Song Dynasty, it was a joyful thing.

In addition, the number of troops used in this war was very small and the time was very fast, which means that compared with last year, the expenses have also been saved a lot, only a small amount of pension and incentive expenses, and the state finances are not tight.

Since the defeat of Qigou Pass, this high-level pension and reward system has been attacked by many ministers. The reason is simple, reward it, and the people of the whole country should tighten their belts to live together, but you have to win the battle.

But the result? There are only two Wenchen who perform brilliantly, so why raise so many generals?

even kept Song Jiu's position.

If he loses, no matter how Zhao Pu uses his means, Song Jiu will never end up with Hou Mochen taking advantage of that kind of tragic end. But the seat of Xifu may not be kept, and it will be destroyed even more. Maybe Zhao Pu has merit, since he entered the Central Mansion, affairs have gradually become organized, and Zhao Kuangyi is no longer as busy as before, this is the skill. But the situation that the Song Dynasty became weaker and weaker was also created by Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Pu is the main one, and Zhao Kuangyi is the auxiliary.

However, there are also many problems left over from this war.

The Liao army suffered heavy casualties, and the Song army also suffered heavy casualties, and the main early forces were scattered, and they were broken by the Liao State, and many troops were killed and wounded. and the devastation of many people. It's also about the fall of the North. If you don't want to take back the clouds, you can lose Guanbei, it's difficult to defend anyway. If you want to collect it, there is no Guanbei and other places as a springboard, and the Northern Expedition is more difficult.

Although the victory of the Tang River brought a joyful atmosphere to the Spring Festival of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi still issued an edict to let the civil and military ministers prepare their own strategies for border and imperial battles.

First of all, Wen Zhongshu let Shuzhang first. There are no bright spots, Zhao Kuangyi in order to encourage everyone to speak bravely. Grant Wen Zhongshu purple goldfish.

Let's get into the book.

In this battle, many problems can be seen, such as why the Liao State wants to go south. If Li Jilong didn't listen to Zhao Kuangyi's edict, he took the initiative to fight but was able to win a big victory? It's not the first time that Li Jilong has done it, he violated the edict in Mancheng and Shuozhou. And this edict was acquiesced by Song Jiu, doesn't Song Jiu understand military affairs? Speaking of combat effectiveness, after several defeats, they all thought that the Liao State was very strong, and Yelu Xiuge was the god of war, but for what Yelu Xiuge led 80,000 of the strongest Liao cavalry. Li Jilong only had 10,000 Song soldiers, most of whom were infantry, so what could he defeat him? And it was in the Khitan longest field battle to defeat Yelu Hugo.

Therefore, Zhang Xun said two things in the book.

It turns out that China is south of Shuosai, the terrain is heavily blocked, and the mountains and valleys are deep and stretching for thousands of miles. Therefore, Mao Dun became the leader of the north, and the battle with the Han only stopped in vain. Although the Turks were strong, they were never able to threaten Heluo. But now east of Flying Fox Pass. It was occupied by the Khitan together, Pyongyang was thousands of miles, and the nameless mountains and rivers were blocked, so the Liao State could go down as much as it wanted.

The second reason is that it will be from the middle of the palace.

There are not many ministers of the DPRK and China who understand military affairs. It's not easy to say about Zhang Yi later, including Your Majesty, you don't understand it either, and then what is the formation map in the capital. Command the front-line soldiers to fight according to it. Can this be done? Those who understand see these bad strategies and don't have the confidence to fight. Those who don't understand follow this strategy to fight, and then it will be a big defeat.

Then there is the topography of Hebei.

There is no way. I had to build a fort for defense. Maybe it worked, but what about when the enemy came. Because of the small number of troops, the officers and men of Zhuqi Fort had no choice but to come out. It didn't work, it happened to be a snack for the Liao army. Even because of the small number of soldiers in the fort, it was broken by the Liao army one by one.

This is a bit exaggerated, if there were no forts, the Liao army would have calmly led the iron cavalry to the city of Tokyo as early as the year before last, at least Hezhou would have been carved into ashes.

However, the shortcomings that Zhang Xun said are also true, and the more forts are built, the heavier the division of troops, but the Liao army has always maintained an absolute superiority in troops, do you expect the front-line generals to have the miracle of the Battle of the Tang River from time to time?

Therefore, in the face of this unfavorable terrain and the defects of the middle emperor, two major towns were built in Hedong and Hebei, each of which commanded more than 100,000 people, surrounded the old city and Guangxin Zhai, and took this as the center, gathered superior troops, and then listed the beacon fire, and then selected the elite cavalry as scouts, so that the superior forces could be gathered at any time and quickly decided on war and defense. In this way, the terrain disadvantage will be reversed, and there will be no defects in the middle of the emperor.

And the most rare thing for Zhang Yi is that he clearly realizes that because he has been fighting for many years, he has to prepare for both. Yanyun is the portal, don't lose it. However, for the time being, it is possible to negotiate peace with the Liao State, first restore the country, stop the affairs of the world, stop the work of civil engineering, reduce the redundant staff of officials, save the excellence of tin rewards, collect wealth and goods, and train teachers and apprentices. So as long as a few years later, the country will become stronger, and His Majesty will kiss Liurong again, drink the Great Wall, strangle the troops in the platform of Shan Yu, burn the dragon court of the old man, and the curtain of Wuhuan.

It is estimated that Lao Zhang is also afraid that after this letter is presented, Zhao Kuangyi will be angry, and it will not be good to defend from it, and he will build a major town and divide more military power among the front-line generals, can Zhao Kuangyi be happy? That's why I said it at the last time, it's still your old man's personal recruitment.

Because of Zhang Xun's shamelessness, Song Jiu has always looked at him unpleasantly.

However, this twist and turn made Song Jiuda appreciate.

Zhao Kuangyi saw it, and his face was calm.

In fact, Song Jiu estimated that Zhao Kuangyi would be good if he didn't have a seizure, and Song Jiu couldn't help but steal fun.

Zhang Xun said a lot of the actual Song Jiu has long been thinking about it, if he is a commander, although he can't win a big victory, he won't be defeated. Do you have military talents? Maybe, it's similar to Cao Bin, and maybe it's not as good as Guo Shouwen. This is prestige, he has a status order, and he is not afraid of death to move the soldiers, so the upper and lower orders are the same, and there will be no scattered sand in Qigou Pass.

But how many people in the whole country have this prestige?

Zhao Pu has, but does Zhao Pu understand, he will be worse than Zhao Kuangyi if he goes down, because he is more assertive than Zhao Kuangyi. However, as for the others, even Zhang Qixian can't go down.

He is clarifying some of the autonomy rights of the military generals in each state, but only in the states, if Guo Shouwen thinks that Li Jilong is not good in this battle, and the two have a conflict, does Li Jilong have the right to forcibly order Guo Shouwen?

Zhang's suggestion does solve many problems in a sense.

But it's really come to that point, think about the Anshi Rebellion, right? If a strong general is in charge of a border army with more than 100,000 combat effectiveness, let alone Zhao Kuangyi, will Zhao Kuangyin rest assured?

Therefore, it is an unsolvable problem for the time being. Song Jiu thought of it, but he was thinking of other ways out.

Some flaws in fort tactics. Song Jiu was also reflecting.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the country that has been fighting for many years. Heavy losses, insufficient troops.

However, Song Jiu did something to catch the narrow, and said: "Zhang Xun's performance has a lot of merits, and it is so beautifully written, let the minister bring it to Xifu for reference." ”

The reason why Zhang Xun has stood tall for so many years is his writing.

Although this article is a story and a story, it is written in a variety of flowers. Anyway, Song Jiu definitely can't write it.

Another article, Wang Yuyan, also presented a piece of music.

China has been suffering from the disease of the Xiongnu for a long time (the Xiongnu refers to the northern nomads, not the real Xiongnu). But the saint is as bright as the Han Wenjing. Shan Yu wantonly invaded, the fire shone on the sweet spring, and when the Han mourned peace, there were no good generals outside, and there were no virtuous ministers inside, but the messenger came to worship. Now that the country is strong, it is not inferior to the Han Dynasty, and His Majesty is Shengming, how can he let Emperor Wen? The strength of Beirong may not be at the same time. What is the case for this?

Also said wrong. It was not that Emperor Han Ai and Emperor Ping of Han were weakened, but that the Han Wu was weakened, and the Xiongnu went to the end. However, since ancient times, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been dethroned. Many of the ministers hated it. Therefore, Wang Dawen did not mention Han Wu.

Therefore, there are five external problems, one is that the strength of the army is incompatible, and the generals are suffering from the lack of power. The second is to investigate the border ministers. Remove the ministers, and use the old and loyal officials to let them go. In this way, the border situation can be truly fed back to the court. The third is to spy and leave, and the Khitan women are in politics and lawlessness. Therefore, spies were used to lure the chiefs of the Tibetan region with generous profits. Once the chiefs are centrifuged, because it is desirable also. The fourth is to raze and raze, such as the Liaodong Jurchen, so that they can attack Liaodong and fight with the imperial court. Fifth, the edict of grief is to thank the border people, encourage the border people to kill the enemy, get the silk given by the Tibetan people, get the border land and a horse to pay back their price, and get the chieftain to disperse the officials, then the people are brave and the soldiers are united.

It's a little new, but it's also a cliché.

When the troops are combined, as Zhang Yi said, will everyone rest assured?

Speaking of border scouts, they are actually taken very seriously. Xiao Yanyan's style is not good, but she has good government skills, can she be separated? As for Wu Xuanming's strength, Song Jiu didn't use it, in fact, Wu Xuanming's strength had recovered now, and he wanted to be eager to try, but Song Jiu stopped it through the air with the help of Shi Pu and Yang Liulang. They haven't really become strong yet, and now they are alarming the Liao State, and they are looking for death. Then when it's time to use it, the chess piece won't be used. At least it will take a few years to develop, just like the Western Xia in history, after decades of development, the war with the Song Dynasty, the most reluctantly rising Western Xia State. As for rewarding border people, Zhao Kuangyi has already done it.

However, it was also a welcome sign that more and more literati were beginning to realize some of the shortcomings in the Song Dynasty's military system.

There are also five articles on internal affairs, and provincial officials, which is a cliché. The second is the difficult election, suppressing the Confucian ministers and agitating the military ministers, some civil ministers did nothing, but they rose like rockets, and the rewards were extremely rich, but the military generals worked hard for His Majesty in front, but there was nothing, so that the military generals would be convinced? The third is the Minister of Credit, participate in the decision, look at what you did in the Yongxi Northern Expedition, the ministers of the two governments said so much, but you didn't listen, and single-handedly planned what strategy to divide the troops in the Northern Expedition. Fourth, it is not expensive and famous, what is the seal of Zen to build a temple tower, don't get it, that is useless. The people live and work in peace and contentment, Yanyun takes it back, if you don't do this, you will also be recorded in the annals of history as the master. Fifth, it is forbidden to be lazy, to be rich in people's power, to have a small number of monks and nuns, to worship temples and temples, to persuade customs, and to work in farms, then the manpower is strong, and the side is practical.

These five ......

However, it is indeed a disadvantage, although Zhao Kuangyi has a feeling of being slapped in the face, and he has to sigh deeply on the surface......

The big-mouthed Ba Tian tin is on the book.

Today's Imperial Rong, no preceded by the selection of generals, vested generals, please appoint responsibility, do not have to descend to the formation map, do not need to give the strategy, naturally due to the opportunity to change, provocation measures, all success, all break the enemy. Don't fool around with that formation, will you?

There is also a trend between the East and the West that seem to be inseparable, can this work?

Liaodong has done a good job, but Liao's territory is large and there are many countries, so it is better to send spies to see if there are still those subject countries that can be separated.

In the past, Wu became a general and sucked carbuncles for soldiers. Huo Qu's illness is the general, and the Han Emperor wants to treat the first, so he goes to the disease and says: The Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home! Unsaid Majesty, are today's generals as handsome as Wu Qi and Huo Quai? If you see it as a minister, there will be no one who will be in charge. How do you know that the general is willing to suck a carbuncle with the soldiers? If the first house is given, is it willing to resign? The general is not talented, that is, there is no prestige, why make the Huns afraid of the wind!

Song Jiu couldn't help but be happy after seeing it.

Zhao Kuangyi's formation diagram is really harmful.

However, the East and the West do not get along, have you ever thought about Zhao Pu's character?

As for learning Wu Qi to suck carbuncles as soldiers, who would dare. He escaped with tens of thousands of soldiers alive and dead, because the people said a few words of thanks, and they were immediately frightened and forgot to find their crimes. Remember the fate of Cao Bin's resignation?

But these big mouths, Song Jiu likes them.

Maybe Zhao Kuangyi saw these recitals, and the clouds in his heart became thicker and thicker, but Song Jiu deliberately said: "Many recitals, especially Zhang Xun, Wang Yuyan and Tian Xi's recitals, are the most gratifying, no wonder His Majesty appreciates them, and they are raised one by one from the low-level officials of various and prefectures, and placed around His Majesty." ”

Zhao Kuangyi: "......"

Let's say, the cannon rumbles, and the more it is released, the happier Song Jiu becomes.

But Song Jiu never spoke.

A big victory doesn't mean anything, it's best for Li Jilong to fight a little more and have another big victory, then Song Jiu can take advantage of several big victories to launch a series of deepening reforms to the military system again.

With the victory, Zhao Pu also stopped, and the east and west governments continued to have well water and no river water.

However, Zhao Pu will not tolerate it for too long, and as he gradually regains power in Dongfu, sooner or later he will target Song Jiu.

However, Zhao Pu was very sad, and when others were prime ministers, they were all in good weather, but as soon as he became prime minister, problems immediately came, and the drought came again this year......

In fact, sometimes Song Jiu thought about it seriously and felt that he should send a big character to Zhao Pu, embarrassment!

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more, Zhao Kuangyi didn't dare to reward everyone's speech. Say yes, don't report it. No matter how much I say, I just don't implement it. (To be continued......)
