Chapter 487

It took more than a thousand miles from Qingzhou to Kaifeng, but thanks to the battle in the northwest of Qingli, the road conditions are relatively good now. In addition, the delivery method of fast-foot delivery was basically delivered to the capital in two to three days.

What you see now is not yesterday's news, but the day before yesterday or even the day before yesterday.

The situation was pretty good at the beginning. The two days of fighting in Dashun City were so weird.

However, it can be seen that the enemy's advantage of strong military strength has allowed Dou Shunqing to kill thousands of Xia troops, but it does not cause much damage to the overall Western Xia army.

Then came the movement of several enemy troops.

In order to make these "military blind people" see more clearly, Wang Ju drew a map in Ningzhou the morning before yesterday. This map had just arrived in Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu summoned everyone to Yanhe Palace to discuss matters.

Wang Ju standardized their respective marching routes and possible future attack targets on the map. For example, the news received by the Tianwang Ju in Ningzhou that Renduolingding's army was still gathering in Tongsaichuan, but Wang Ju drew their marching routes in the next few days, and drew the solid line to Huaian Town and Meili Fort, and the dotted line was the snow mud fort.

Fort Meli will also be the target of Renduoling Ding's attack in the future, otherwise the three groups will not be connected together. But it is hard to say that the Snow Muri Fortress is not easy to say. If Murong does not cooperate, there is no point in Chen Bing Huanzhou.

But this is not terrible. What is terrible is the troops marked behind each arrow ●¤. Jintang City has about four to five thousand troops, which is to prevent Yanzhou from attacking and intercepting the Xixia people's retreat and materials. Therefore, the troops are a bit too many. Baibao City has two to three thousand troops. If the Song Dynasty does not counterattack the two cities, this force can be excluded from the strength of the Song and Xia war. But if the counterattack is counterattacked, it must also be included in the total force sent in the Xixia War.

The main force in Dashun City is about 130,000 to 150,000. Because there are too many people, it is impossible to count. Only the Xixia generals such as Liang Yimeng knew in their hearts that the scouts could not inquire, and could only make an estimate.

Then Liang Yi buried the direction and distribution of troops of each branch. For example, Ding Ge sent 15,000 to 20,000 troops to attack Anjiang Fort from the small path. Don’t think that this force is small. Yao Lin’s troops in Anjiang Fort, including strong men and strong horses, are less than 5,000. Moreover, Liang Yongneng’s army is attacking wildly on the front. There are 20,000 to 25,000 Xia troops left on the west side of Dashun City, one trapped Dashun City, and the other is the food, grass and supplies behind Gongwei. This force is also twice the current force of Dashun City. As for how many troops will be left on the back of Dashun City, because it was the news the morning before yesterday, the picture was not marked.

There are about 70,000 to 80,000 troops on Rendoring's side, while Liang Yongneng's troops are about 60,000 to 70,000 troops.

That is, the number of troops sent by Xixia this time is at least 260,000. If it includes the second city of Jintang and Baibao, and the thousands of troops killed by Dou Shunqing, it will reach at least 270,000. At most, there will be 300,000, and the real one will be 300,000! This also verifies that the information sent by Han Yun is extremely accurate.

Of course, the reason why Wang Ju does this is very simple, there are so many enemies. Don’t blame me for mobilizing the masses or worrying about the people.

"Madman. Madman." Wu Chong murmured.

A small country with only a small size can actually send out an army of 300,000. Although the Song Dynasty raised many troops, it would not dare to play like this. Isn’t it afraid of wasteful people and damage the country and the family?

Wu Chong made a mistake, and he thought that the situation in Xixia was the same as that in the Song Dynasty.

If the Song Dynasty sent out a large army of 300,000, the consumption would be unimaginable. Just like the five routes of attacking Xia in history, although they were called 500,000, there were actually only more than 300,000 troops, and the rest were all civil servants. The Song Dynasty's civil servants were real civil servants and could not be sent on the battlefield. However, after the failure of the five routes of attacking Xia, they also destroyed the Song Dynasty's gold and silver mountains. If they were to do so at the beginning of Xining, the Song Dynasty would even have the possibility of a national destruction.

But was the Western Xia Dynasty the Song Dynasty?

If that were the case, Cao Wei, Liu Shu and Sun Wu, or multiple dynasties in previous history, I still don’t know how many times they died.

However, even if the Western Xia uses military expenditure and spends 300,000 troops, it is only a madman who dares to do this. Although the two Liang clans are not crazy and are good at making power, they are definitely two crazy war madmen!

Everyone looked at it with a heavy expression.

It was indeed 300,000. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it had never had that single battle, and it had faced 300,000 enemy troops. Besides, it was not the 300,000 enemy troops of the Southern Tang, Southern Han and Shu Kingdoms, but the 300,000 cavalry of the nomadic Xixia.

Everyone was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Feng Jing said: "According to the front line, the Khitan had 300,000 soldiers in the underworld (referring to the Youyun area, but the army on the grassland) were not allowed to be known to China."

This seems to be possible. If the Liao Kingdom invades the Song Dynasty, it may not necessarily have to come from Hebei. If they cooperate with the Xixia people, draw the army on the grassland to Yinshan, and then cooperate with the Xixia people, and fight on both sides, at least the Fulin Road will be out of order, and even all Suizhou and Yanzhou are in danger.

Zhao Xu asked in surprise: "Is there really such a thing?"

This is not a joke. It is just that this 300,000 Xixia army has already made everyone frightened. If there is another 300,000 Liao army, how can we deal with it?

Wang Anshi believed and doubted it. Although Wang Ju explained the reason why the Liao Kingdom could not send troops before leaving, it was hard to say. What if they really sent troops? I believe that Wu Chong was the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, so he would not be a joke.

He thought for a while and said, "Although this is not surprising, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he first managed Suizhou and planned Yinzhou (referring to the south of Yinzhou, including Luowucheng area), to break the power of his lips and teeth. This would make the Liao people think that if China conquered Xia, it would be necessary to visit Youyan. Moreover, Xia's ruler was young and the woman was in charge of the work, and she had no plans. If she lost the battle, the Western Xia would be destroyed, which would be unfavorable to the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, it might send troops to obstruct our dynasty and weaken our dynasty's national strength."

"If so, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty should use calmness to control the situation. Even if you add a Khitan, the border affairs may not be in a mess. However, if you make progress, the consequences will be beyond my knowledge. Moreover, our dynasty can strengthen the walls and clear the fields and accumulate grain storage to wait for the enemy, so the enemy will not be deeply troubled by us. For example, this invasion of Xixia can only threaten the forts and forts on the border of Qingzhou, but dare not immediately approach the city of Qingzhou. The two countries are stalemate on the border. How long can the grain storage be supported? If Qingzhou does not make major mistakes, less than one month, the enemy will retreat. The same is true for the Khitan. Therefore, the country should pay attention to the grain storage and do not harm the people's strength. Then, with a quiet attitude, there will be no worries about external troubles."

Wang Anshi is implementing the reform of warehouse law and Changping.

He means that as long as these two methods are done and the grain storage is complete, the Song Dynasty will be safe in the future... Anyway, don't expect Wang Anshi to give any clever suggestions in the military, but the method of Changquan and warehouses are indeed a good method.

Feng Jing said: "I'm afraid it will turn into the situation like Qingli time."

Wang Anshi was about to speak, but Fan Zhen rushed to the front and said: "Since last year's border affairs, Hedong and Shaanxi have been in charge of strategy, and the transfer officials have said that in order to provide food and grass on the front line, almost all the righteous men treated it as civilians to transport food on the front line, which has been harassed."

Zhao Xu was suddenly stunned, so when he talked with Wang Ju about Han Qi's righteous courage, Wang Ju said, "I'm afraid you will not be willing to ban the righteous courage." Why? Because of the righteous courage, even though the people of Shaanxi went to the sea, when the war came, using them as civilians would really save military expenses."

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu felt extremely bitter in his heart.

Fan Zhen continued to say: "Your Majesty, in order to deal with the Battle of Qingzhou, the Transport Department has to borrow millions of money and silk from Changping Guangcang from several roads in Hebei, Hebei, Shaanxi Province, Dong, Jingji, Shaanxi Province, to buy military rations. Last autumn, because he wanted to manage Luowu City, he had borrowed 100,000 yuan but had not yet been repaid, and the new loan was dozens of times that of last year. Shaanxi officials wrote letters saying that they would deal with the imperial examinations of the Xuanfu Pacification and Pacification Envoy (referring to Han Jiang and Wang Ju) and their people were already in poverty. Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, Wang Ju responded to the imperial edict and quickly attacked the enemy. If they could not defeat the enemy and let them retreat, they would also have to attack them. And if they delayed it for a long time, they would argue with them, and then they would be easy. In this way, the pressure of the Liao Kingdom was relieved and the people could survive."

It sounds so reasonable.

But think about the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Feishui, the Battle of Hanzhong, and these super-large battles. Didn’t that battle last for months?

This was the Xixia people who had a hasty attack and hurriedly launched an attack. In addition, their national strength was not enough to support the long battle, otherwise it would be possible that the northwest would be officially in spring.

Besides, so many enemies can quickly attack and force them to negotiate peace or retreat? Does the Song army have the combat power?

It was not Fan Zhen who framed Wang Ju.

This was a common thing in the Song Dynasty. Just like Yang Kai forced Xia Shu to sweep away Xixia with 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers. Xia Shu was a little better, he was a civil servant and a teacher of Song Renzong.

What is the tragic thing in Master Zhong…

Moreover, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and these literati and officials fled to the south of the Yangtze River and still did not reflect on it.

Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zhen's proposal is extremely true."

Zhao Xu didn't react, and thought for a while and said, "Then let it go, the next edict is delivered to Ningzhou."

Why Wang Ju stayed in Ningzhou, he also wrote a letter to state the reason. And no one accused Wang Ju of being cowardly. He is the master who dares to go to the battlefield to kill people himself. Can you say that Wang Ju is afraid of death? And the unprecedented enemy has arrived. Before the victory or defeat of this 300,000 enemy, no one dares to accuse Wang Ju of his tactics.

But this time everyone was wrong. Who is Wang Ju? A scholar and a civil servant. In the Song Dynasty, these two words represent greatness, righteousness and glory, representing the biggest hooligan, domineering, thick-skinned and shameless! You can be a gentleman in court, and you can be a cultured super hooligan in court.

We are all part of this rogue group, whoever is afraid of it is.

So soon Feng Jing became embarrassed...

Zhao Xu was about to announce that everyone would retreat, the censor Xue Changchao said: "Your Majesty, I have submitted a memorial to Qi and asked Li Ding to surrender her biological mother. Why not report it?"

After Su Dongpo's step-by-step promotion, the matter of Li Ding's mother was not finished yet after half a year of struggle.

Wang Anshi dismissed many censors, but he could not let the censors be empty. He also allocated a group of censors, including Lin Dan and Xue Changchao.

The two of them came next. First, Lin Dan submitted a memorial, and at first he used the service to serve as a patron. When he heard the court's proposal to surrender, he said that Qiu was not born, and he turned the corners of the world and avoided surrender. The two words "rituals and laws" were the main issue of the court. He decided that since he had lost human relations, he could not ask for it. He insisted that the court declared that it was just a fair and defiant, so how could he be contemptuous of the customs and promoted it to others!

Li Ding did not say that Qiu was not his biological mother, but only said that Qiu was dead. He didn't know that his father was afraid that someone would make trouble in the future, so he asked Li Ding to return to raise him because he was old, so Li Ding resigned and went home to raise his father for several years. In other words, Li Ding did not become an official during the time of Dingyou.

But Lin Dan is a verbal minister. A verbal minister can hear the truth. What is verbal news? Even if you hear some rumors, you can even write to impeachment.

However, it is not for you to spread rumors.

But who can explain how big the difference between rumor and rumors is?

The first memorial was not reported, and the second memorial came again: According to the initial statement of Ding, he knew that Qiu was his mother, but he had not been in charge, but had once explained the officials and was still in charge. Their feelings could still be forgiven. Because the court further questioned, he avoided the pursuit and submission and was afraid of offending, so he acted as a statement that Miao You could not find out for life, hoping to deceive his heart and deceive the court, which was what the world had to hate. This was what the world had to hate. He asked Ding himself to surrender, but he still could not escape the responsibility of famous religion. Moreover, the court replied to him and said in a different way. After the time and month, no one had ever spoken to ask for advice. He was calm and contented, and he was not afraid of his parents, so he was so unfair that he was betrayed his relatives. The thief was harming loyalty and filial piety, nothing more than this. The court was still moving to officials and promoted his posts, and he was in counseling, but the ministers did not know what it could do.

The third memorial: Father and son are hidden, and the sage thinks it is straightforward. Now Li asks about the private matters of the boudoir. Gao and Qiu are usually unrighteous, and because of the decisive fate, they criticize their past ugly things, and they are no longer apart from the court and the country, showing their father's unrighteous evil and forgetting the kindness of their mother.

This time, even Li Ding's father was in trouble.

But did Lin Dan ever think that because Li Ding's father was poor, Qiu ran away and remarried. What did Li Ding's father think? After being a super cuckolded by his own woman, the husband was still grateful. Not only did he have to be grateful, but his son also wanted to be grateful? Grandma's, this idea was too avant-garde and too kind.

In the fourth memorial, Prime Minister Wang Anshi came out of his home with Dingsu and recommended him. Although the old evil was exposed, he was still tortuous and protected. Those who spoke about things were expressed in their righteousness and were unconscious. Liu Jin, the Huainan Transport Author, met with Dingyin, and wanted to join forces, so he made suspicious words, attached to the subordinates and deceived the inside, causing unfilial people to be promoted to the king. When the minister came to the Secretariat, Anshi said that the minister said that this matter was the best. When I heard that those who served the king in ancient times were good, they would call him king. Now everyone knows that Qiu was Ding's mother, but Anshi only thought it was wrong; everyone knows that Ding was unfilial, but Anshi only thought it was okay.

This time, he directly pointed the finger at Wang Anshi, and even Liu Jin, the Huainan Transportation Commander, was in trouble.

However, Liu Jin really got into Li Ding? No, the court asked him to investigate, so he sent someone to investigate. After investigation, he told the truth. Could it be that because he did not agree with you, overthrow Wang Anshi, overthrow Wang Anshi's reform, and make Li Ding dirty, then he became a person who would like to agree with him and be in charge of his superiors?

In short, Wang Anshi's reform does have many problems.

But some of the conservatives' practices are not even considered villains, and their behavior is even worse than that of some market shrews.

Lin Dan did not report six comments, but Xue Changchao came again, and seven comments made Wang Anshi extremely disgusted.

Li Ding didn't pursue the submission for a long time, and another one would take the love, but he would only pursue the mourning for a hundred days. But after this conclusion, what did Li Ding become, the most unfilial son of the Song Dynasty!

Wang Anshi said angrily: "This matter has been decided long ago! Li Ding was not aware of it at the time, and the court also punished Li Ding."

There are two examples: Fan Zhongyan's mother remarried at one time, but after her death, Fan Zhongyan was filial. However, can she compare with Li Ding's mother? Although Fan's mother remarried, she continued to bring Fan Zhongyan to her side and raised her with great difficulty. What about Qiu's family?

Furthermore, Wang Xi, a Jinshi in the early Ming Dynasty, saw the story of Li Ding. After his remarried mother died, he wrote a letter to ask for mourning for his mother for three years. After seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang criticized him, saying that your mother lost her fortune and only one year was allowed to be given.

If your mother remarries, she will lose her moral integrity and there is no need to be mourning for three years. Confucius also said similar things: After the mother remarries, she will no longer be a family member, and children will not need to be mourning after her death.

Why? This is the true intention of loyalty and filial piety constructed by Confucius. If the superiors are kind and filial, then there is little care and support for the elderly, so that there will be no tragedy in human ethics. The king is kind and the minister is loyal. The emperor must be kind to the people and officials, and then those who are ministers must be loyal to the king's country so that the country can be well governed.

Mothers ignore their husbands and children, and remarry others for their selfish Xinfu. So why do children still have to keep mourning for them? However, this problem is very complicated. Similar remarriages, such as Fan Zhongyan's mother, Wang Ju's mother, and Li Ding's mother, are different in their respective situations.

So Confucius said it very vaguely.

Coupled with the misinterpretation of later generations, the etiquette became very tragic, and it turned out that the king wanted the minister to die and the minister had to die, and the father wanted the son to die and the son had to die.

Then the education method becomes that beating is pain and scolding is love.

The interaction between Confucius turned the unilateral and humble side. As for Su Dongpo, did he really not understand? Can Qiu compare with his mother? In fact, filial piety is really not important, mainly to disgust Li Ding and Wang Anshi. Therefore, Su Dongpo played a role in this matter as much as a clown. Therefore, in the Wutai poetry case, Su Dongpo may not really deserve the sympathy of future generations.

But filial piety is the leader of all virtues, and Wang Anshi dared not fight too much.

So Wang Ju is worried that he will end up with Li Ding's fate in the future...

Wen Yanbo said on the side: "Jiefu, filial piety is a national event, and you should not be careless."

Okay, the debate begins, and it is a serious "defunctory building".

Zhao Xu was speechless and waved his sleeves and said, "Spread."

Everyone retreated one by one, Zhao Xu sat on the dragon throne in a daze. Three hundred thousand enemies invaded and immediately became angry, so he called everyone to discuss.

As a result, it was discussed whether Li Dingxiao was filial.

What's wrong with this? Zhao Xu couldn't even understand it. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
