Feng Jing looked at Zhao Xu's expression and was very worried, but he couldn't say it.

Wang Ju told Song Ji that the Liao Kingdom had sent troops behind the mountain, and then told the generals that the Liao Kingdom could not send troops. Han Jiang first asked the reason and intention, and then asked if the Liao Kingdom would send troops to help the Western Xia. Wang Ju replied, No, the Liao Kingdom would never be stupid enough.

Wang Ju didn't say it in the memorial, but Han Jiang wrote it in the memorial. Of course, Han Jiang was unintentional. He had no idea what Feng Jing said in Yanhe Palace.

But whether Feng Jing is considered a rumor or not is not easy to calculate.

There is indeed this trend. In order to appease Xixia, the Liao Kingdom sent people to threaten the Liaoxia border, saying that the Liao Kingdom might gather troops behind the mountain to help Xixia. It was just said that it was possible, not sure, and it was certain. In the end, it was necessary to explain that even the Xixia people did not take it seriously.

However, this threat was found out by the spies on Hedong Road and immediately reported it to Lu Gongbi.

Lu Gongbi and Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were the people who were all the way, You-You-Xiao-Shunting, Update-New-The fastest.uus-, they opposed reforms and wars.

It’s not that these people don’t want the Song Dynasty to be good, some people have become old fry, such as Wen Yanbo. When he was the prime minister for the first time, he tried his best. In the end, he was beaten to nothing by the court and demoted him. Therefore, he thought that the Song Dynasty would not be better if he wanted to be good, and he would not be bad even if he wanted to be bad. Just keep it going.

However, some people still want the good things of the Song Dynasty, such as Fan Chunren and others. They oppose reforms and wars, and they also have their ideas. If they don’t fight, and the Three Kingdoms are peaceful, they will not have to support so many soldiers and save a lot of military spending and military spending. If they don’t have to spend more a year, they can save more than one thousand million chunks. In other aspects of the country, the finances are enough to maintain balance. Why do we need to make money by reforms? So Zhao Xu asked Fan Chunren about the defense of Shaanxi Qijia City, and Fan Chunren replied, “It’s time to be first taken, it’s time to be born.”

In short, there are all kinds of reasons for opposing war.

Some were worried that generals would regain power because of the war.

Some people are afraid of the separatist vassals, just like why the Five Dynasties replaced so frequently? Isn’t it because the generals are in power?

The civil officials were tyrannical but had no soldiers in their hands, so Liu E took Ding Wei down one by one, two by three, and Zhao Xu forced Han Qi away. Only then did Song Qinzong take Cai Jing immediately. Although he was weak in military terms, it could be beneficial to internal governance and stability.

Another consideration is finance.

Some people have indeed considered people's livelihood, such as Fan Chunren, which is undeniable. Once the war is fought, the people are in trouble.

But there are some people who are simply opposing the opposition to suppress dissidents. Their representatives are three big bosses, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Sima Guang.

Isn’t Han Qi a militant? Why is he opposed to the war? Han Qi is no longer a militant now. Since Yongxing Army returned to Daming Mansion, he has become the most powerful.

No matter what reason Lu Gongbi opposed the war, the result was the same.

After hearing this, he immediately reported to the Western Prefecture, and then Feng Jing exaggerated it slightly, and it turned into a story about the Khitan's 300,000 soldiers coming to the Western Frontier.

As a result, so many days have passed, and Wang Judu asked the people to dig salt in Yanzhou. He did not even see a team of Liao troops on the Hedong border, let alone a 300,000 army.

So when Zhao Xu saw Han Jiang present Wang Ju's analysis, he asked Feng Jing. Moreover, Wang Ju also explained the reason why the Liao Kingdom would not send troops before leaving. Feng Jing was very embarrassed at that time.

At least during this period, he had no say, so he looked around.

He was inconvenient to persuade him, but he had many good friends.

However, Feng Jing is different from Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang. Although he is a conservative, his prejudice is not too deep. This is also the reason why Wang Anshi recommended him to come up. Therefore, Lu Hui once misunderstood. Feng Jing was fond of profit, and Westerners were like golden-haired rats. Because of his external literary talent, he was actually greedy and fearful.

As for Wu Chong and Wang Anshi, it's deep.

Many descendants of Wang Anshi's other son-in-law, Cai Bian, knew many later generations. So many people who didn't understand it spread rumors. In fact, Wang Anshi has more than one son-in-law, Cai Bian has three daughters, the eldest daughter died young, and the one who married Cai Bian was the youngest, but the most talented one was not Cai Bian's wife. But the second daughter, who once wrote a poem: The west wind does not enter the small window screen, and the autumn mood should pity me. I look at the mountains and mountains and look at the yellow flowers with tears.

As soon as this poem was published, it was immediately spread throughout the capital.

Therefore, Wu Chong proposed to marry him for his second son Wu Anchi, and the two became in-laws.

However, in terms of color, Wu Chong is a little darker and hides it very well. However, when dealing with the war, Feng Jing is a staunch anti-war faction.

He was watching, and his good friend Sun Gu had no choice but to come forward. He said, "Your Majesty, because Wang Ju is wary, he has caused trouble to the living beings. From then on, countless families are separated by yin and yang, and they can no longer be cowardly."

In fact, there is no need to read Wang Ju's memorial. Yang Hui had already brought Wang Ju's three points back to the capital, but no one has figured out how to choose. Sun Gu's idea was that it would be better not these three points, but to withdraw his troops immediately, but he couldn't say it, so he said this.

Look, this battle is fought, what is the result? It doesn’t count if the people in Shaanxi fall into the mud pit, and more than 20,000 soldiers died.

Lu Huiqing said: "Sir Sun, who can't kill anyone in war?"

"Yes, Chen Qingzhi."

"Sir Sun, it was Liang's fraud. Wei Shu was recording the battle between Erzhu Rong and Yuan Hao. Chen Qingzhi was rare. There was only one sentence. Erzhu Rong and Yuan Hao were stalemate on both sides of the Yellow River. He wanted to cross the river but had no boats. He planned to return north and persuade his subordinates. He happened to find some ships and guides. Erzhu Rong ordered Erzhu Zhao to lead the cavalry to cross the night, and defeat Hao and trap Luo, and Chen Qingzhi escaped alone. Even if what Liang Shu said was true, it was too weird, so the heaven would not tolerate it!"

The statement in "Book of Wei" is not credible, nor is it credible in "Book of Liang".

If it is recorded in Liang Shu, it would be too amazing. Seven thousand white-robed troops escorted Yuan Hao back to Luoyang to become emperor. In Juyang, Qiu Daqian was still the defender. As a result, Qiu Daqian was defeated and the entire army surrendered. At the tiger's mouth of the 300,000 Northern Wei army, he captured Xingyang, which had 70,000 defenders. Then he fought behind the city and defeated 200,000 cavalry with 3,000. So he fought 47 times along the way, attacking 32 cities, and defeated them without any advance. Then, he defeated nearly one million Erzhu Rong's army at Xingyang City. To this end, he defeated the seven thousand white-robed troops. However, because Luoyang was captured by Erzhu Rong, Chen Qingzhi had to return south. As a result, he was washed away by a mountain torrent and defeated all his army that had won every battle.

Well, many descendants really believe it.

But Lu Huiqing didn't believe it, and Wang Ju didn't believe it.

The real correspondence was that Chen Qingzhi went north to fight several glorious battles, but in the last battle, the entire army was also wiped out, so Chen Qingzhi had to flee back to the Liang Dynasty.

Zhao Xu is also on his forehead. This is a relatively famous history. Most of the people here have seen it. Obviously, Zhao Xu recognized Lu Huiqing's words. Not to mention the seven thousand white-robed troops, even seven thousand monsters, and even hundreds of monsters will be killed after such a tragic battle. If it is true, as recorded by Secretary Liang, it is not seven thousand ordinary people fighting, but seven thousand Monkey Kings fighting.

Lu Huiqing also said: "The real thing should be learned from Huo Qubing, which is almost the pinnacle of the Han army."

Chen Qingzhi's deeds are not clear. Don't show off, just look at Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing fought against Zuo Xianwang of the Huns and wiped out more than 70,000 enemies, but his subordinates also sacrificed 15,000 people.

The proportion of casualties in Wang Ju in this battle is not as high as that of Huo Qubing, although Huo Qubing's battle is even more difficult.

Wang Su also said from the side: "The Xixia army is not as powerful as imagined, but not as weak as we imagined now. This battle is really not easy."

He had no contact with Wang Ju. At most, when Wang Ju learned about Huachi County, he exchanged wine for horses and asked him to help. That was also for state affairs and had nothing to do with private affairs. Besides, what qualifications could Wang Ju have to fight with him at that time?

Wang Su was old, so he summoned him to the capital and told him to join the Ministry of Works. However, because he was old and unable to be a director, he was transferred to the Minister of Works and retired. However, he was in the border for a long time, so he asked Zhao Xu to send someone to summon him from the Ministry of Works to Yanhe Palace for consultation.

Wang Ju has always dared not think that he loves people as his son because the Song Dynasty really had them, and even loves people as much as his son than Bao Zheng. There are several people right now, including Cheng Shimeng, Li Suzhi, and Wang Su.

With Wang Su's political achievements, qualifications, family background, background and personality, he naturally would not sell his face to Sun Gu. He continued: "Besides, the 300,000 Xia army invaded Huanqing. Wang Ju was granted the order in the face of danger. Even if he defeated the Xia army, he did not lead the army westward, but gathered in Yanzhou and waited for the imperial edict. How could there be a saying of war? Mr. Sun. You are a Hanlin scholar. Don't let the heroes be upset!"

Sun Gu asked for something boring.

Wen Yanbo had to come forward in person, and he slowly said: "If you want to destroy Xixia, it is really difficult. Therefore, Wang Ju asked Qin Feng, Jingyuan, Huanqing, Fuyan, and Fulin to launch a group of troops, and to mobilize troops and horses from the capital, Yongxing Army and Hedong Road to support him. But how much money will be spent in this way?"

At this time, you cannot attack Wang Ju. No matter what reason you use, you are just making things boring!

But Lao Wen asked this question about it.

If so, astronomical money may be used, but the national treasury and internal treasury have so much money.

Even Wang Anshi said from the side: "Your Majesty, the best strategy is not acceptable. You can only choose the best strategy and the worst strategy."

Zhongce is to occupy Yanzhou, why is Zhongce? First of all, it is the economy. Yanzhou controls 70% of the green salt production, and there is also iron. Xixia also has iron ore, but the output is small. The iron ore production in Yanzhou accounts for 40% of the Xixia. Therefore, Yanzhou can control it, and even just from the economy, it can bring disastrous consequences to Xixia.

Not to mention military matters, as long as Yanzhou is controlled, a cavalry can be sent to threaten Leshan and Shengyikou at any time. The Zhenrong Army is on the south, and the Huanzhou is on the east, and the Xiaochuan area with fertile products on the Xixia will sooner or later be lost to the Song Dynasty. If the courage is stronger and the Tiemen Pass in the north of Yanzhou is taken down, then the entire Lingzhou and Yinxia and other states in the northeast of Xixia are all halved. Moreover, Yanzhou is so close to Lingzhou and Xingqing Prefecture, and you can send troops to conquer at any time.

The disadvantage is that it is an enclave, but there are ways to solve it. First, set up the forts in Hengshan, and then build more than a dozen forts between Yanzhou and Hengshan. When these forts are mostly above the plains, the forts must be large and there must be more troops stationed. Then there will be no such thing as the Lingzhou Sauvignon of Zhuozhou.

In fact, if Yanzhou is really managed, it will be the second Zhuozhou. The reason is very simple. The terrain of Yanzhou is too flat and can be defended at the moment. In the future, if the Xixia is slightly restored, the main general will be incompetent and will undoubtedly lose.

But these people now lack the information from Yanzhou, so they are confused by Wang Ju's seemingly right and wrong reasons.

Wen Yanbo also said: "If you take the Central Strategy, the number of troops stationed will increase several times, and the road is far away and the supply is difficult, and the cost of troops will increase sharply."

Good is good, but what’s the money! How much more will it cost that year?

Zhao Xu looked at Yang Hui and asked, "Yang Qing, you have been to the front line, let's talk."

"Your Majesty, if you occupy Yanzhou, Xixia will not be willing to accept it. In the future, not only will the transportation costs of garrison troops increase as Wen Gong said, but the war will continue to continue. At that time, the military expenses will really increase. In fact, it is not only inappropriate to occupy Yanzhou, but I think it is not appropriate to occupy Hengshan. Just like my experience, the Hengshan barbarians are so fierce that they don't even take the envoys of the court seriously. Once the border ministers are not properly appeased, there will be civil strife. With the internal and external cooperation, Hengshan will be lost. At that time, not only will the soldiers die innocently, but because the soldiers are on the front line and the troops in the rear of Huanqing are empty, it is estimated that the two Huanqing states will be lost by then. Besides, there are also stories. It was the imperial court that occupied the Lingzhou enclave, and then Lingzhou was lost, which led to the loss of the entire Xiaoguan and other areas. Please think twice."

"Your Majesty, I think what the Element says is very reasonable. Moreover, once you occupy the enemy's territory, the border will compete for merit in the future, and the country will be uneasy from now on," Sima Guang said on the side.

Wang Su couldn't stand it anymore, and he said sarcastically: "Wang Ju's worst strategy is to occupy a small section of Hengshan. Even if all the people make trouble, how many people can there be? Besides, the mistake is that Xixia repeatedly invaded and invaded in the first place. Let's look at the Qianli River, which turned into scorched earth. Why didn't you say anything? Your Majesty, I still said that Wang Ji's defeat of the Xia army does not mean that the Xia army is so weak. Jun Shi, the battle of Hulidui was due to Sima Guang's command error, but it does not mean that the Xia army is so powerful."

"Prince, what does the battle in Hulidui have to do with me?" Sima Guang asked angrily.

"Without your approval, how could Guo En dare to send troops to pile up?"

Although the prospect of occupying Yanzhou is wonderful, there are too many variables, and Wang Su dare not speak out. But if only occupying a small section of Hengshan Mountain, will the sky collapse?

So Wang Suyu was ridiculed.

He did not intend to expose Sima Guang's ugly part in Fengzhou, but said that Sima Guang doesn't understand border affairs at all, so don't talk nonsense.

This is a great victory. As I was talking about it, it seemed like the Song army was defeated. It was really strange.

Lao Wang still didn't understand that the current court was no longer the one he was familiar with.

But Lao Wang was wronged, and Wen Yanbo immediately corrected: "Since May last year, Shaanxi has been fighting one after another, the people are suffering and the financial overdraft is serious. Your Majesty must think twice about it."

Don’t talk about side matters, no one has the right to speak. Let’s talk about money.

Lu Huiqing said on the side: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, I will take the best strategy. Baibao City and other places are close to Huanzhou Qingzhou and the Baoan Army, which are not enclaves. Moreover, the Western Xia invaded repeatedly, and they relied on the benefits of the terrain. They occupied Hengshan, and they could advance or retreat. Our dynasty could only sigh. Now our dynasty has also occupied a section of Hengshan. Although its width is not large, it will at least make a small move on the terrain. In the future, Xixia will cross the territory and plunder again, and will think twice before doing it. Moreover, Wang Ju used prisoners of war to repair castles and gates, which was not much labor. Although he used some money and silk, these money and silk were still within the scope of the court's ability to bear."

Of course, this battle will soon wipe out the inner treasury and the national treasury.

But stopping, at least not financially overdraw.

Lu Huiqing said again: "And it's not my fault. First, Xixia planned to do something wrong, and dispatched a large army of 300,000 to capture Huanqing. After several battles, Wang Ju wrote a letter to Liang Yi, urging him to withdraw his troops. The two countries agreed to peace and reconcile, but Xixia still refused to listen. The fault was not my fault, but the righteousness was my."

The Western Xia dared to plot against the entire Huanzhou and Qingzhou. After our great victory, we only occupied a small Hengshan area. Is it wrong?
