Chapter 52: On the World

Seeing that Yu Yunwen was silent, Zhao Huan knew that although he was young, he actually had a deep knowledge and was a faithful believer in Confucianism, and he could not immediately accept some doctrines that did not conform to Confucian classics, so he had to give up.

At that moment, he gave him a few words of encouragement, and finally ordered: "The Chang'an defense envoy is just a subordinate, because you have no military position, and you are white, so you have to be appointed like this." Extinguish the fire tonight, but the enemy yesterday, you are the first meritorious, the world's corporaries, ministers, and soldiers, will not have any objections to the reuse of you, do you mean, do you want to go to the place to be a pacification envoy, or praise the military affairs by my side? ”

Yu Yunwen was startled, and subconsciously replied: "How dare the minister suddenly take on such a heavy responsibility!" ”

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "The talent you showed yesterday and tonight is not too much for you to be the prime minister's privy council, but you are white, and you can achieve this status all of a sudden, I am afraid that there will be injuries, so it is good to leave some leeway." Why, aren't you satisfied? ”

"How dare you!"

Yu Yunwen had already come back to his senses, looking at the emperor's face, it seemed that he was laughing a lot, and he was even more settled at the moment, and said Kankan: "Your Majesty also said that the minister is just a white body, and the minister is too young, and it is not a good thing to become an official all of a sudden." In the meaning of the minister, it is best that His Majesty does not confer official positions on the ministers, but let the ministers continue to participate in the imperial examination. ”

He is bent on coming from the right path and coming out to be an official with dignity, but in Zhao Huan's eyes, he is super capable, and second, he happens to become a big example of breaking the deadlock in the imperial examination.

Who said that a famous minister must be a jinshi and a younger brother?

At that moment, he waved his hand again and again, and said to Yu Yunwen: "I heard Yao Pingzhong say something about you. I was worried about my parents' old age, and I didn't plan to come out to do things. At the same time, I also felt that I and the ninth brother were not able to assist, and I even faded out to take the exam to become an official. Unexpectedly, after I fled back from the Jin Kingdom, I worked hard to repair the armor soldiers, and you and Yao Pingzhong were heartbroken together. Traveling all over the world, and helping me in Lin'an, I have strengthened my determination to do things. In this case, why do you need to stick to the form, you have to start from the imperial examination, and then step by step? ”

Seeing that Yu Yunwen was silent. Zhao Huan took out the encouraging eyes and tone of the meeting back then, and said step by step: "At extraordinary times, do extraordinary things." Today, if they are all stuck to the law, how can it help the general trend of the world? Zhuge Liang was twenty-seven years old and offered Longzhong pairs. He's not a Rausch jinshi! Yu Qing, I value your talents, and I regard you as my Sleeping Dragon, so you don't want to live up to my expectations. ”

Although Yu Yunwen is extremely talented, he is still young in the end. How can he withstand Zhao Huan's old fritter to agitate with this tone, when his face turned red, after a while, he ate and said: "Where do you dare to be a ......?"

"You get up!"

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said categorically: "I don't need to be suspicious, I don't need to use people." Teach you the Privy Counsel first. Jiage Menzan is kind to people, following Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding, and doing things well. ”

Speaking of which. He glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "It seems that he is still too young now." In a few years, being a privy envoy or a servant will be like a star. ”

As an emperor, it is really a rare honor for him to promise such an official position.

Yu Yunwen was in his twenties, how could he live in Zhao Huan's style, his eyes were slightly red at the moment, and he almost burst into tears. Barely holding back, after a half-loud sound, he said to Zhao Huan in a deep voice: "Your Majesty treats the minister like this, the minister will definitely do his best, and then die." ”

At that moment, he knelt down and thanked the emperor, and after he got up, his identity was different, and Zhao Huan said to him: "Zhang Jun is too tired, Wang Ye is in charge of small affairs, Zhao Ding is not by my side, you are very young, you will praise me more these days, can you succeed?" ”

"Your Majesty, but if you have a need, the minister will naturally do his best to serve it."

"Okay."

Zhao Huan glanced at him with appreciation, and then ordered someone to send a chair to sit down for the young minister, and then asked him again: "Yu Qing, what do you think of the war back then?" ”

Yu Yunwen bowed slightly, and replied to Zhao Huan: "If it was a few days ago, the minister was still worried that the Dragon Gate would be lost, and the enemy would be flanked before and after, since Your Majesty was brave and decisive and defeated the enemy's surprise soldiers in Chang'an, there is no need to say anything more about this battle, we have already won." The enemy is not stupid, he will not fight hard with the 200,000 forbidden troops of our Great Song Dynasty in Tongguan Qianli Valley Road, he will only lose his troops and generals. But now that we have taken the lead, how to expand the results of the war, and make the general trend of the world more favorable to our Great Song Dynasty after this war, we really need to start the layout in advance, which is the most important. ”

In fact, without waiting for him to say, with Zhao Huan's profound historical knowledge and military knowledge that has grown in the past two years, after the Chang'an War, he already vaguely felt that the Song and Jin wars had begun to transform from the absolute disadvantage of the Song Dynasty to a relatively balanced strategic stalemate stage.

The Battle of Tongguan began with the gathering of Jin troops near Tongguan and ended with the holding of Chang'an. After this battle, in the face of the lack of comprehensive national strength of the Song Rujin State, which is slowly recovering its original strength, it will inevitably be slowly highlighted, although

However, now the Song army is not the opponent of the Jin soldiers, but Zhao Huan has already made a conclusion in his heart, **In the future, fighting with the Jin State, in his hands, is no longer like a pure ancient war, just a battlefield battle.

In his hands, the Song Dynasty's national strength will certainly be brought into full play, and the balance of strategic confrontation will be reversed toward the favorable situation of the Song Dynasty.

It's just that he doesn't have a complete strategy in his mind, and every time he thinks about it late at night, when he thinks of his enthusiasm, he also feels that he is very wise and wise, and when he has to deal with daily government affairs every day, he feels that it is difficult to start with a thousand things. And when he can really put the so-called overall idea into practice, there are too few of them, and every time he punches hard, it is like a pebble falling in the Yangtze River, just stirring up a few drops of water, and then returning to calm.

It was only at such times that he deeply understood how difficult it was for one man to change a dynasty, a system that had worked for thousands of years.

At this time, thinking of those founding emperors who had won the world and changed the world with their own strength, they felt that their talents were far from enough, and they were far behind.

The only thing he can be stronger than ordinary emperors is that he is familiar with the changes in the general trend of the world, and with this strength, he can be proud of the world's heroes.

And Yu Yunwen in front of him, based on the results of Chang'an after the First World War and the observation of peacetime, deduced and judged the subtle changes in the overall situation of the world, but he had to admire him very much.

Seeing that the emperor was appreciative, Yu Yunwen was very humble, and smiled at Zhao Huan: "In fact, there are many talents in the world, and the minister's insight cannot be said to be far superior to ordinary people. It is the view of the right talent, and there are many ministers in the DPRK and China who can judge it. ”

Zhao Huan ignored his modest words, just stared at him, and asked: "Since you said that the general trend of the world is inclined to the Great Song Dynasty, in your opinion, what should you do next?" ”

Yu Yunwen did not hesitate, what Zhao Huan asked was also something he had been thinking about in recent days, and as soon as he heard the interrogation, he immediately replied: "Get Hedong, recover Taiyuan, and win the land with shape, and Guanzhong are each other's horns, but it is difficult for the Jin soldiers to enter Sichuan and Shaanxi half a step, this is one of them; The selection and appointment of generals, the refinement of the two quasi-forbidden armies and sailors in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jingxiang are each other's horns, so it will be difficult for the Jin soldiers to enter the two lakes and two quasi-ones, and this is the second. ”

Zhao Huan was not satisfied, shook his head and said: "This is all on the defensive, after the battle of Zhang Jun, the enemy is depressed, how to make good use of this victory?" ”

Yu Yunwen's eyes were blazing, and he replied: "The main forces of the enemy army are all assembled on the front line of Tongguan. Hedong is empty, the cavalry is defeated, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, Zhang Jun's department has Zhang Xian, Yao Duan and other fierce generals, and they will never be dragged by the remnants of the enemy in Hedong, and they will definitely make a move, and this step of 30,000 elite forbidden troops can stir up chaos in the enemy's position. And as soon as the enemy is in chaos, we will have a chance, we can defend steadily if we retreat, and we can break the enemy if we advance! As for Jing Xiang, now he is being dragged by Zhong Xiang's rebel thief, but it's okay, and the two have Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong's three armies of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only pseudo-Qi Li Cheng and others on the opposite side, not an opponent at all, in the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty should issue an edict to order these two people to march from Zhun Yang and other places, straight into Shandong, so that if the enemy is attacked on his back, he will definitely be in chaos, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will be restored, and the enemy will face each other across the Yellow River, and then the whole army will fight with the enemy again, and it will be much calmer. As for what happens in the future, it is not something that the minister can expect now. ”

These views are really the result of Yu Yunwen's painstaking efforts, and there are also conclusions reached by observing and discussing with Yao Pingzhong along the way when he traveled to the mountains, Tokyo, Xihedong and other roads. After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan just smiled and listened quietly, and there was no special surprise, but it made the young man a little frustrated.

After half a ring, Fang heard Zhao Huan smile and said: "These are rare, you can think of this, it is extremely rare." But the most important thing is not to recover the Central Plains, or Hedong Taiyuan, if you think about it carefully, what am I talking about? ”

Yu Yunwen pondered for a long time, and saw that Zhao Huan was gradually disappointed, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he slapped his leg violently and shouted, "Horse? Without a good horse and a war horse, how can you compete with the enemy in the Hebei Plain, and how can you recover Yanyun? ”

Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up, got in front of him, stared at him and said, "Qing is really a genius!" ”

The ancients all regretted that Zhao Gou did not allow Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, in fact, although Yue Fei won a big victory at that time, it was not the main force of the Jin soldiers that he defeated, Wanyan Zongbi's strength was not damaged, but Yue Fei's cavalry had lost a lot, and he was very tired.

In the hinterland of the Central Plains, how could the Song army, which was seriously lacking cavalry, face the wolf-like Jin Iron Cavalry on the Hebei Plain? Therefore, the Northern Expedition is difficult to implement at all, which is also the consensus of many civil ministers and military generals in the Song Dynasty.

The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was also successful with a strong cavalry commanded by Chang Yuchun.

It's just that at this time, the Song army was still being beaten everywhere, and in the middle of the court, all they were thinking about was how to resist the enemy's attack, and they were planning the general trend of the world, thinking about counterattacking the enemy, and they could realize that they couldn't do it without building cavalry, and they were afraid that only Zhao Huan and Yu Yunwen in front of him were the only ones.
