Soon, the people from the staff gathered in the conference room, and when Xiang Qingxi and Yu Hongliang walked in, there were already discussions in the conference room, and it was not a secret that the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent a large army to suppress the border, so the people in the staff department were soon divided into two factions, one faction was headed by Song Wen, advocating to directly destroy the forward positions of the Song army with absolute force, so that they knew that New China was inviolable.

The other faction is based on the original Song Qinglian's grain officer Xu Jing, this Xu Jing is a student of the famous Song Dynasty poet Yan Jidao, quite a bit of talent, before Xiang Qingxi established a base in Zhenyuan Prefecture, Xu Jing was snubbed by the royal family when he was a grain officer in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and his talent could not be stretched, so he could only be a grain officer who did nothing under Song Qinglian and issued Dai Lu.

After Song Qinglian took refuge in the base, Xu Jing also followed into the base, starting from the bottom, it is gold that will always shine, and soon, this talented Xu Jing was discovered by Yu Hongliang and incorporated into the General Staff Department as a staff officer, there are many talents like Xu Jing in the General Staff, and the current General Staff is like the Ministry of Defense of New China, and all military orders are drafted and issued from here.

Xu Jing's faction advocated taking defense as an attack, first stabilizing the corners of the square formation, and then sending surprise soldiers to penetrate directly into Kaifeng, which played the purpose of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and solved the emperor Lao'er, everything was easy to do.

Seeing Xiang Qingxi Yu Hongliang coming in, the quarrel inside was stagnant, but soon began to quarrel, Xiang Qingxi found that there was an alternative among the two noisy factions, he just stood there and quietly watched the quarrel between the two factions, sometimes frowning and thinking, and stretching and nodding, sometimes looking up at the ceiling, sometimes lowering his head and stroking his chin, looking tangled and unable to be entangled.

This person is the No. 1 think tank in New China, Chai Wenshan, seeing his appearance, Xiang Qingxi knew that in fact, they had a common idea in the direction of their quarrel, and they didn't want to expand their territory for the time being.

Yu Hongliang walked to the place where he presided over the meeting and sat down, just slapped the table, but was stopped by Xiang Qingxi, signaling to continue listening to their quarrel, just like that, three indisputable people appeared in the conference room, and it didn't take long for Xiang Qingxi to feel that the two factions began to grunt, back and forth, and then signaled to Yu Hongliang that he could start.

With a "snap", Yu Hongliang slapped the table, although the sound was not loud, but these staff officers who had opened the hanging had pointed ears, although the elites who had been cut by the spiritual liquid did not practice martial arts, but it did not prevent their ears from hearing the sound farther.

The sound of quarrels in the conference room gradually stopped, and Qi Shabu looked at Yu Hongliang's side.

Yu Hongliang pressed his hand and said loudly, "Well, I see that everyone is almost done arguing, let's all sit down, that Xu Jing staff officer, tell me first, what is your opinion?"

As soon as Xu Jing heard this, Premier Yu first asked him for his opinion, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed his hand to Yu Hongliang and Xiang Qingxi, and replied, "Back to Prime Minister, King Xiang, I thought that the Song army was pressing the border, and our army had not really practiced defense, so I thought, why not take advantage of this time to practice and drill, and at the same time on defense, send another rapid reaction force to penetrate into Kaifeng, force Song Huizong Zhao Ji to take the throne, and end the situation of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other traitorous ministers as eunuchs, corruption and tyranny, and plundering people's property as soon as possible. ”

Yu Hongliang nodded, "Then what is Minister Song's opinion?"

Song Wencheng took the post of head of the Organization Department of New Huaxia, and after seeing Yu Hong's name highlighted, he stood up and said, "Back to Prime Minister, King Xiang, Wencheng thinks that offense is the best defense, let us concentrate our forces and use the momentum of thunder to eliminate the arrogance of the invading enemy, so that the Great Song Dynasty does not dare to attack, only by defeating these Song soldiers in front of you can we really hurt the muscles and bones of the Great Song Dynasty, so my opinion is that the front is tough." ”

"Hmm. Yu Hongliang pressed his hand, "We've been in for a while, I think you're mainly these two opinions, right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Yu Hongliang looked at Chai Wenshan, who was sitting next to him, and continued, "So, what do you think of Wenshan?"

Chai Wenshan was originally leaning his arms on the table, supporting his face with his hands in a fugue state, and only came back to his senses when he heard Yu Hong's name, he stood up with a deep sigh and said, "Alas, tangled." In fact, my views are different from them, I think, to retreat as an advance, in the plain area at the junction of Taiyuan and Fenzhou and then enter the war of annihilation, first through Fenzhou into Taiyuan Fu, there is a natural barrier, that is, the Fenshui River, the water is not too deep but can stop the horse, here the decisive battle can be the least injury to the innocent. ”

"In this way, it can buffer the marching speed of the Great Song troops, and it can contain the advance of the main force of the Great Song Dynasty with zero casualties. Second, after Fenzhou returns to the Great Song Dynasty, let the people of Fenzhou experience the difference between China's rule and the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time, because the previous propaganda in Fenzhou, I think it has little effect, not that China's policy is not good, but that the number of soldiers in China is too small, and the people of Fenzhou do not think that a few thousand people can resist the army of the Song Dynasty. ”

"I have no confidence in our army, thinking that our army is only temporarily occupying Fenzhou, which has created a situation in which the people of Fenzhou do not recognize whether our country's policy is good or bad, and Fenzhou is the frontier city of Longde Mansion, and after Longde is Kaifeng, only with the approval of the people of Fenzhou, the news can be transmitted to the entire Longde Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which opens up the situation for us in the future. ”

"But what I am entangled in is the Western Xia Kingdom adjacent to Fenzhou, whether Li Qianshun, the speculative emperor, will not do his duty when our army retreats, and take the opportunity to occupy Fenzhou City, because in the past two months, a large number of troops in Western Xia have been stationed in the border between Fenzhou City and Western Xia, and it is only an hour's journey from Fenzhou. ”

Chai Wenshan's words disturbed the silence of the conference room again, and whispered discussions abounded, "Oh, how did you forget about Xixia, it seems that I didn't think it through." ”

"Or Vice Premier Chai's view of the pattern is greater, whether the stability of the capital city of Fenzhou will indeed affect the progress of China's territorial expansion, this matter must be considered clearly. ”

Even Song Wencheng, who had never been convinced by Chai Wenshan, nodded, and cast an admiring look at Chai Wenshan, "What Wenshan said is very true, it is that we have not thought it through, and this matter has to be considered in the long run, and we must reconsider it in terms of time." ”

"Report!" While the staff officers were still discussing, someone outside the conference room door shouted a report.

"Let people in. Yu Hongliang motioned to Ren Pengfei, who was close to the door, to open the door.

It was Shen Guang, the secretary of the confidential room, who walked in, first marched, and then walked up to Yu Hongliang and leaned over and said, "Report to King Xiang, Prime Minister, the Western Xia cavalry has crossed the Yellow River and is only a pillar of incense away from our Fenzhou, and Commander Cheng has sent troops to intercept and request a war against the Western Xia cavalry." ”

It's true that the plan hasn't changed quickly, and I'm still worried about the cavalry of Western Xia here, but it's already here over there, and it seems that Li Qianshun's grasp of the timing is really good.
