Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Requires a Hundred Battles Chapter 1191 Court Discussion (3)

The big thing was decided, and the court meeting was not over.

After that, the affairs discussed by the monarch and the ministers became more cumbersome, and each person was responsible for it according to his position.

In fact, as soon as the army moves, it is still the military department, and the household department has the heaviest responsibilities.

However, this time the imperial court mobilized troops, which was different from the past.

No matter what kind of mention there is, they can't get around the two generals in Beijing, and they won't stay in Beijing for long, because there are thousands of things in the forbidden army in front of the palace, and they need to prepare as soon as possible, so around the end of the year, they must return to the army to sit in the dispatch.

The general Zhao Shi will stay in Beijing for a longer time, but he will not delay too much, and at most in January or February, he will leave for the northwest to take up his duties.

And the first stop is undoubtedly Pingliang.

Pingliang has withdrawn the town army, and became under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army, to the northwest, Qingyang, north is Yanzhou, the road is not too close, but it is suitable to choose this place as the place where the army gathers.

However, according to Li Chengqian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is best to hoard grain and grass in Qingyang and Yanzhou.

The mountains and rivers in the northwest are treacherous, the army is fighting, the loss must be heavy, and the grain and grass are transported, the closer to the front of the battle, the more advantageous it is, this is the experience of the people, and Zhao Shi also agrees.

In fact, if it is according to Zhao Shi's meaning, Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander of the Yanzhou Town Army, should be recalled to the Beijing Division, and the Zhang family in the northwest has been stationed in the northwest for many years, and must be very familiar with the mountains and rivers of Xixia.

However, the time is too hasty, if you don't want to let Zhehui take the military power alone, it's better not to transfer it back.

Fortunately, Daqin has been at war with Western Xia for many years, and there are many veterans who are familiar with the terrain of the northwest, and there are many old people in the Privy Council, all of whom are from the Western Army.

Many people say that the battle of the summer is ultimately about the grain road.

This Zhao Shi also agreed, but he was also a little disapproving.

There was no way to compare that year with now, in those days, the Western Xia and the Great Qin were at war, and they were often able to delay the time, the two major military divisions on the left and right, clamping down on the north and the south, so that the Great Qin's forces were scattered, and they could not attack in one place.

Now that there are King Guiyi and Mu Huali to contain the left and right military divisions of Western Xia, Daqin only needs to make every effort to open up the Hexi Corridor and go down to the Lingzhou Heavy Land, then Xingqing, the capital division of Western Xia, is in front of him.

Under the decisive battle, where will the Tangut people be given the opportunity to delay?

If the Xixia people are finally dragged for a year or two, there is no need to fight this battle, and the extensive consumption of grain and grass is enough for Daqin to bear, what kind of battlefield to win?

If you are patient, the strategy and tactics can actually have some more changes, attack once this year, test it, and attack again next year, according to the current comparison of the strength of the two countries, just three times, maybe the Western Xia itself will collapse, and the army that Daqin needs to participate in the attack can also be greatly reduced.

Just like a few years ago, people from all walks of life in the northwest attacked Xia, and the results were not small, and they also hit the right wing military division of Western Xia, and the rebellion of the right wing military division of Western Xia in the first two years also came from this......

In that case, it would take at least three to five years.

Coupled with the war in the east, this year is likely to drag on for a little longer, and the war on both sides will drag on for a long time, whether the current Great Qin can afford it, even if it is Zhao Shi, he will not have that confidence in his heart.

And having said that, with the current general trend, if you can't decide the war, it is better to abandon it and start to pacify the war in the Central Plains, so the tone of this war is already doomed and will not change.

After discussing for a long time, the courtiers only 6 continued to confess and withdraw from the Qianyuan Palace, and now once the major event is decided, the courtiers will no longer think about it, and the court political dispute here in Daqin is still simple.

If it is left in the Later Zhou, there may be people who think about what I can get from this battle if they are defeated, thinking about it, in fact, the only way is to drag the back of the generals in front, and the things that are defeated in the front and benefit in the rear are already endless in the Later Zhou or the Jin Kingdom in the north.

There are many people who are not successful enough to lose, and for the sake of power, unscrupulous means, regardless of one qiē, there are many people.

Above the Great Qin Dynasty, it is not uncommon to see overt or covert battles, but obviously, the thriving national power makes the Qin people, who are already simple-minded, unable to think of colluding with foreign enemies and framing opponents.

In the final analysis, they are not the Later Zhou Dynasty when they were defeated year after year, and the party fought fiercely, nor did they fight between Hu and Han, the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom, and they were not the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was a corner of peace and could get by.

The rise of Great Qin has become unstoppable, whether it is the courtiers or the peddlers, they have already felt this, and their mentality is obviously different from the officials and people of other countries.

And on the military affairs related to the society, once there is a resolution, for these important ministers of the court, the remaining thing is how to do their best to do the things in their hands well, rather than thinking about how to fight political opponents in this matter first.

In other words, every country, every dynasty, has its own characteristics in the court, once the atmosphere is formed, it is difficult to change, and the evaluation of later generations is mostly based on such a atmosphere, for example, if the atmosphere is good, it is the king and the ministers, and if the atmosphere is bad, it is the lord and the ministers.

The words are a little far away, back to the main topic.

It wasn't until Li Pu, the subordinate of the same door, and Wang Daocun, the privy envoy, came out together, and in front of the palace gate, the two saluted each other and said goodbye.

Looking at Wang Daocun, who seemed to have aged in an instant, Li Pu's lips squirmed, wanting to say something, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh.

"Brother Wang, cherish a lot."

Wang Daocun smiled bitterly and replied: "Wang has been an official for decades, and it should be the time to live some idle days, and then he will have his own resignation submission, and then he will also ask Brother Li to read a few words in front of His Majesty for the sake of his colleagues for many years, Wang Mou...... Alas, I don't want to have today, Brother Li is talented, there is a long way to go, please cherish it in the future. ”

Li Pu nodded slightly, and wanted to say something, but stopped, just silently and bowed, and turned around.

Wang Daocun looked at Li Pu's back, his heart was bitter and unspeakable, and after a while, he slowly raised his head again, looking at the shining Qianyuan Hall plaque under the winter sun, and his eyes never left for a long time.

Until the eunuch who was sent out next to him felt that it was not appropriate to stand in front of the door of the Qianyuan Hall like this, and reminded softly: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, are we ......?"

Wang Daocun turned his head in a daze, but his eyes were already red, and his voice was hoarse: "Just go, just go." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his gaze and staggered his steps, but his back was uncontrollable......

The last fight is a vain after all......

And Zhao Shi was still in the hall at this time, the ministers left, and the hall was quiet, but Emperor Chengwu did not have a trace of fatigue, and he spoke casually.

Waving his hand and retreating from the palace in the palace, Emperor Chengwu was a little excited, but his tone of voice was still a little annoyed, "I didn't expect Wang Zhenru to be so ignorant." ”

Zhao Shi pursed his lips, he didn't want to take it, no matter what, Wang Daocun, as a privy envoy, was a military minister, and it was just a matter of talking about it in private, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, it was better not to talk lightly.

However, the emperor's majesty is just nagging, if it was during the Zhengde period, a cardinal minister, it can be regarded as a pivotal matter, and in the Jingxing Dynasty, the power of the cardinal minister gradually weakened, until now, it seems to be insignificant.

In fact, this also means that the power of the Privy Council has changed, and the Privy Council, which has gradually lost its control over foreign generals, has naturally come to a low point in power.

On this, there is nothing to say, the limited ability of the privy envoy Wang Daocun is one aspect, and the most important thing is the general trend, even the military department is also suffering from such an impact.

And with the obvious help of the emperors of the two dynasties, the Privy Council was almost empty......

His Majesty's attention was obviously not on Wang Daocun, and this sentence was more like complaining.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor stood up, stretched his body, came to the hall, and walked back and forth, and Zhao Shi also got up and stood aside.

Zhao Shi also understood in his heart that how much he had arranged before, how much he had spent on words, in fact, it was just for this court meeting, in comparison, the spirit consumed by His Majesty the Emperor was probably beyond his reach, and the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction he got was estimated to be doubled.

And the emperor is still young, and such an excited energy is digesting the kind of pleasure that is easy to addict men and brings about by power.

After a while, His Majesty the Emperor asked again: "Aiqing has been preparing for a few years, to tell me the truth, how long will this battle take?" ”

Still unsure......

Zhao Shi pondered for a moment and said: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive His Majesty, this is really not very good, but if the war goes well, according to the minister's conjecture, before next winter, the war will be over." ”

His Majesty the Emperor raised his head suddenly, "So fast? Don't fool me, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I still know the situation there in Western Xia, not to mention the mountains and rivers, there are many fortified fortresses blocking there, and the army passes all the way, I don't know how much time it will take, how can it be peaceful in a few months...... Aiqing: Is this for An Zhen's heart? ”

Zhao Shidao: "The minister does not dare to say anything, what Weichen said is that the war is going well, once the two major armies of the Western Xia are destroyed, the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and there are not many places for the Xixia people to move, after Lingzhou, the Xixia capital Xingqing can be down in one fell swoop, in fact, the place where the Xixia people are based, is not much, Your Majesty Imagine, from Qingyang to Chang'an, it will not take much time to arrive, and from Lingzhou to Xingqing, the road is shorter. ”

"Of course, if the war is unfavorable and there are any twists and turns, then this winter, for the soldiers at the front, it will be difficult, and the food and grass items consumed will also be doubled, so Weichen can only do his best to end this war before winter......"
