Li Kui can let the kind of Jianzhong touch porcelain?

It's good that he doesn't touch others.

Li Kui, who was still pleasant-looking before, suddenly seemed to have changed his face, and he didn't give Chong Jianzhong a chance at all. Shaking his head, he left the yamen with a little song. He wanted to let Chong Jianzhong go to Qinfeng Road, mainly to deal with the Qingtang people in the land of Hehuang, and Chong Jianzhong was enough. If you really can't deal with it, you will definitely be ashamed of his name as a famous general.

But Chong Jianzhong wants to take himself along?

Now Li Kui is no longer as big as Qingtang, just a few tribes, and they are still fighting in the sky, how much of a threat can they have? Such an opponent is also worthy of Li Kui's shot?

"I stood on the castle tower and watched the mountain view......"

Chong Jianzhong looked at Li Kui's disappearing back in a daze, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The heart said: So you don't want to go either!

Of course, Chong Jianzhong also felt that Li Kui was very strange. Always says some strange things, but he thinks that this should be the taste of Jinshi scholars, and I am afraid that a scumbag like him will not understand it in his life. As for the tunes sung by Li Kui, Da Song really didn't have them. "Empty City Strategy" appeared relatively late, and Li Kui will go back and forth like these two sentences.

In fact, he also wanted to sing: "If the sea can bring back the love I once had, let me wait for it all my life." "But this can be misunderstood as very improper.

As for the operas of this era, it is not that there are none, there are quite a lot, but they do not conform to his style, it is a bit like the flower drum opera of later generations, but the lyrics are basically the bridges of talented and beautiful people, and it is not appropriate for him to sing that paragraph. Say he's a genius, right? It doesn't look like it. Let's say he's a beautiful woman, what does this have to be blind?

The demagogic seed was not built, and Li Kui decided to slow down.

In the days that followed, Li Kui inspected the new industry in Yan'an Prefecture from time to time, the oil refining industry. is thriving, and everywhere he goes, Li Kui can always hear praise for him.

On the contrary, Chongjianzhong, who has done a lot of things for Yan'an Mansion, has a very bad reputation in the eyes of the people, because he always apportions forced labor, repairs city walls, repairs urn cities, and forts.

Li Kui, who didn't do anything and was idle all day long, became the master of the blue sky in the minds of the people.

It's all fate.

Chong Jianzhong wiped away the tears of humiliation and humiliation, and once again gave the order to dig a moat, causing a lot of public resentment.

Before you know it, it's spring, and the weather is getting hotter.

With the arrival of spring, the war in Qinfenglu gradually came to an end. As long as the soldiers and generals on the border know that spring is coming, it is the season of revival of all things, and the animals on the grassland ...... Don't think that spring sowing is the top priority of the year for farmers, for grassland herders, cattle and sheep who have survived the winter need fresh grass in spring to increase nutrition, and ewes and cows must hang their cubs. Spring is also the most important season for herders.

Standing in front of Yongning City, which led to Qinzhou, he sighed lightly: "It's time to go back!" ”

But this sigh is not because of failure, but because of not daring. It's said that the country of brothers, why didn't Xixia help?

The envoys had already sent out three waves, but there was no movement in Western Xia. This made the king of Ali bone panic, and he was betrayed by his allies again.

The Qingtang people and the Dangxiang people have been mortal enemies for generations, but all this changed a little when Emperor Shenzong was in power. Before the death of the king of Qingtang, Da Song and Qingtang have always maintained a very close relationship. The Great Song Dynasty set up a field in Qinzhou and other places, and exchanged the iron and tea in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty for the war horses of the Qingtang people. Every year, more than 20,000 horses are traded.

Such a scale is actually enough for the needs of the Great Song and Western Xia wars, and there is no need for any means such as the horse protection law. At the same time, as long as the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Western Xia, the King of Qingtang would also send troops to help attack the Western Xia, and the cooperation between the two sides was once intimate.

The mutifiers don't think so, they are not only radical in their ideas, but also in their actions. I can't wait to get hundreds of thousands of war horses at once, so that I can level the territory of Western Xia in one fell swoop and never suffer in the future.

After his death, none of his children and grandchildren obeyed anyone, they all wanted to be kings, and began internal strife and war. At that time, Wang Anshi felt that this was an opportunity. As long as the war horses of the Qingtang people are obtained, the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty will never be lacking.

Wang Shao vigorously preached the importance of subduing the land of Hehuang, insisted on lobbying for war, and published the "Three Strategies for Pingrong".

So, let's fight!

In this fight, the friendship between Da Song and Qingtang for more than 100 years has been wiped out. Qingtang was naturally not the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, and withdrew from the land of Hehuang one after another. It stands to reason that the land that has been beaten down needs long-term gentle governance, and various means such as economy, culture and education, and cultivation can be used at the same time in order to be firmly controlled in the hands and become the real territory of the Great Song Dynasty. But the system of the Great Song Dynasty can't let a feudal official like Wang Shao stay in Qinfeng Road all the time, and he is afraid that after Wang Shao becomes bigger, he will become a big tail. Soon after Wang Shao entered Beijing, the situation in the land of Hehuang took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the one hand, there are policy reasons, but more importantly, after the withdrawal of the powerful faction, a poorly defended river was left.

After the death of Emperor Shenzong, the new monarch ascended the throne, and the empress dowager became regent.

The Great Song Dynasty was no longer able to care about the land of Hehuang, which was two thousand miles away from Tokyo City, and the Qingtang people who had been driven away came again. After occupying Qingtang, they completely severed the war horse trade with the Great Song Dynasty and formed an alliance with the Western Xia. Since then, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty in the northwest has become worse and worse.

Even if Qingtang and the Great Song Dynasty were hostile, the trouble caused to the Great Song Dynasty was not great.

At least for the Great Song Dynasty, Qingtang's several attacks were blocked by Qin Fenglu. The reason for blocking it is very simple, the troops are less than those of Western Xia, the weapons are worse than those of Western Xia, and even the soldiers cannot be compared with Western Xia. Such a hundred thousand horses, will it be a threat to the Great Song Dynasty?

In the following ten years, the Great Song Dynasty had no time to take care of the land of Hehuang. The main reason is that the attacks of Western Xia are too frequent, and after an unprecedented defeat in Yongle City, the regent Empress Dowager Xuanren has a great fear of Western Xia, and is deeply afraid of following in the footsteps of her son Shenzong. She is a woman, she just wants to help her husband and son who died to keep the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and then wait until her grandson can stand alone, and then hand over the Great Song to her grandson.

What she didn't expect was that in the last two years of her life, Zhao Xu, who was originally well-behaved, began to rebel.

This stems from the fact that the Empress Dowager Xuanren did not let Zhao Xu handle the government affairs, and even if she expressed her opinions, she was not adopted. This made Zhao Xu, who was young but almost an adult, very frightened and angry. Panic because he turned out to be a puppet. The reason for your anger is simpler, you dare not treat the emperor as the emperor.

If the reason for the outbreak of this war is that Cai Jing deceived the people of Qingtang.

It was more because of the defeat of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, which made the king of Qingtang Ali Gu nervous. If Western Xia can't withstand the Great Song Dynasty, Qingtang, which only occupies the land of Hehuang, will die in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later. has already been occupied once, and his fear of Da Song is difficult to restrain it.

He wanted to cheer up Xixia by showing Qingtang's strength.

At the same time, if the Western Xia were smart, it would not be difficult to fight back at this time, because it would not be difficult to recover several cities occupied by the Great Song Dynasty.

But he found that he was wishful thinking.

It wasn't that Western Xia didn't have no plans, even though they had just signed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty before. It's not impossible to tear up the covenant, the Great Song Dynasty did it, and the Western Xia did it. Don't look at the grand signing of the covenant, in fact, both sides didn't take it seriously. The Great Song Dynasty did what it said, gave New Year's coins, and opened up border trade. This is the condition that Western Xia has been fighting for. But this covenant was a disgrace to Western Xia. Because Western Xia suddenly lost the four cities of Weizhou, Longzhou, Hongzhou, and Yinzhou.

but only got the New Year's coins and the field that he should have gotten.

This kind of business is a loss for everything.

Although Li Bingqian was the new monarch, he did not dare to make his own decisions, and presided over the largest court meeting since he ascended the throne to discuss how to deal with this opportunity. Of course, he said that it was an opportunity, but in fact, he had already identified it as a pit.

Mi Baoguang, Hua Thorn and other ministers also said one after another that as long as their army did not face Li Kui, the victory or defeat could be expected.

As for why he said this, the main reason was that Li Kui's reputation in the Western Xia army was too loud, and even the soldiers trembled as long as they knew that it was Li Kui on the other side.

With such a military heart, how could it be possible to fight against the Great Song Dynasty?

As for Qingtang Tubo, the relationship is average anyway. At most, Western Xia lost some external income. But the goods that Qingtang can give to Western Xia are not rare. However, the Western Xia went to sell the few iron smelted in their country to the Qingtang people. This deal, whether to do it or not is of little significance to Western Xia. Li Bingqian was more inclined to the westward expansion of Western Xia.

Regardless of whether he will give up the land of the Hetao in the end, at least he can't let the national capital be so close to the Great Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, the Western Xia will only get weaker and weaker all year round, and when even the Qingtang people can bully them, Li Bingqian can't imagine whether the party members still have a place to live.

When the news of the envoys sent by King Qingtang for the last time, Li Bingqian completely forgot about this matter.

Dead friends, or dead poor friends, this choice is not difficult for him to make.

In Xi'an Prefecture, Tong Guan received the news of Qingtang's retirement. He could finally sleep peacefully, and the three months of defending the city were definitely torturous for him.

In order to assist in the defense, he had to deploy his army in Xi'an, which echoed the Deshun army. gave up Lanzhou, which was originally intended to be defended. In such a battle, even he, a eunuch who is not very good at fighting, feels aggrieved, let alone the generals of the forbidden army in Qin Fenglu. All the anger is directed at the initiator Cai Jing.

An angry piece of music was sent to the capital.

Even Tong Guan, who was afraid of Cai Jing's brother Cai Bian, was unwilling to be reluctant, and he also gave the emperor secret folds one after another. It's a pity, what kind of person is Cai Jing, before he came to Qinfeng Road, he was a household secretary. It is Zhang Dan's money bag, and his ability to play tricks to accumulate wealth is unmatched by the court. Bookkeeping, he is professional. Since learning Li Kui's loan bookkeeping, he has made the account book seamless. If there is no problem with the accounts, it is natural that the derogation cannot be justified.

Besides, the imperial court originally intended to subdue the land of Hehuang, but let Cai Jing easily advance the schedule of subduing the land of Hehuang.

Cai Jing was transferred, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and Northwest Road don't have to think about it. As for the fact that he can't go back to the capital, Cai Jing is too dangerous, and if this person goes to the capital, it will be too unfavorable for conservatives. Most of them will also go to the local area and be an official such as a transfer envoy along the way.

But the mess on Qin Fenglu needs someone to clean up.

This person was quickly found, and Zhang Dian's nemesis, An Tao.

It's not that Zhang Dun didn't think about others, such as Su Zhe. It's a pity that the scheming Su Zhe was not fooled, and he would not fight at all. The only chance to lead the army was to escort Emperor Shenzong's coffin to burial. has also made meritorious contributions, where does this make people reasonable? After experiencing it, he knew how dangerous the war was, and during the days when he was attacked by Western Xia, he couldn't sleep all night. As soon as you close your eyes, you will have strange dreams. For example, in case the city is broken, is it better for him to hang it with hemp rope, or with white silk?

An Tao can't help it, who let him and Li Qingchen have the same anger and can't deal with Zhang Dan?

And An Tao has no reason to back down, after all, he is the second-in-command of the Privy Council. If he wants to say that he won't fight, it's a bit unreasonable, and he has to go hard. If Zhang Dian found a reason, transferred from the Privy Council, and then got an idle book in the six departments, he would regret that it would be too late. The moment he was appointed by the emperor, An Tao panicked.

But in the panic, he was still a little sober.

He made several requests to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister must have the right to open the government in the northwest. ”

This power is not too much for him, and it is completely reasonable for him to ask the emperor for privileges on the day of the expedition.

Zhao Xu didn't think about it, and waved his big hand: "It's accurate!" ”

"The minister wants to mobilize the power of any official and military general of the Northwest Sixth Road."

An Tao is still the head iron, this request is a bit too much for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. But Zhao Xu still decided to trust An Tao, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Maybe it's a bit of an inch, An Tao felt that he made a request, and the emperor gave it, so he continued to make a request: "Let Tong Guan leave Qin Fenglu, he is a eunuch and a supervisor, what kind of words, wouldn't it make the barbarians look down on me and have no one in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Emperor Zhao Xu didn't dare to agree to this request, if he didn't even have a supervising army, would this army still be loyal to the army of the Great Song Emperor? Besides, he didn't believe that An Tao couldn't suppress Tong Guan at all. Don't look at Tong Guan being favored, but is An Tao a person that Tong Guan can manage? His official authority is enough to suppress Tong Guan, who has no intention of resisting at all.

And Tong Guan was not pleasing to the eye because of An Tao, but he was very important to the emperor. If even Tong Guan is driven back, then who will give him a small report?

The emperor said that he would not dare to agree to this request.

Actually, An Tao didn't have to leave Qin Feng Road with Tong Guan. It is normal for the army to go out and set up a supervising army, without Tong Guan, there will be Zhang Guan and Li Guan, and they can't be stopped at all.

He just used this way to test the emperor's bottom line.

Back in the Privy Council, the allies An Tao and Li Qingchen began to struggle. It is better for the forbidden army to choose that force, and the forbidden army in the northwest will draw 10,000, and then the Central Plains will draw 10,000. It's not that hard. The hard part is that the Lord will choose.

An Tao raised his eyelids and asked Li Qingchen: "Will Li Kui agree?" ”

"If you let him be a general, he will definitely turn his face."

Li Qingchen didn't think about it, and immediately extinguished An Tao's thoughts.

However, he also helped with the plan, stroked his beard and said: "But if you let him be a civil official, he probably won't refuse." Give him a Zhizhou, maybe as soon as he is happy, he will rush out with his troops......"

"Too hasty, isn't it?"

An Tao felt that his ally Li Qingchen was harming him, and it was not uncommon for civilian officials to lead troops. However, it may not be easy for civilian officials to subdue a forbidden army of tens of thousands of people. Without a year or two of hard work, I'm afraid it really won't work.

Li Qingchen said with a smile: "Brother Houqing, have you forgotten that the main force of the Feilian Army is not on Qinfeng Road?" ”

An Tao reacted at this time, and smiled sinisterly: "Took away Tong Guan's military power? ”

"That's right." Li Qingchen sneered: "The lowly eunuch still dares to say that he wants to lead troops to fight and follow Li Xian's example, this matter must not set a precedent in your hands!" ”
