Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's a pity. If you have sufficient financial resources, all the regrets of Taizong, Zhenzong and the shame of Renzong will be eliminated."

Is it still strange to make a mistake?

If the law is not changed, this situation will occur one after another. Even if there is no financial support for the reform, you can't even imagine this great victory.

Now Wang Anshi has just woken up slightly. It turns out that this big victory also has many benefits to the reform.

This is like another time and space. In order to beautify Wang Anshi, some experts said that Wang Shao was the result of Wang Anshi's opening edge. There was a little contribution from Wang Anshi, but was this main contribution from Wang Shao? Even because Wang Anshi was very sad and depressed in the next few years, this aggravated the onset of his injuries and eventually died of depression.

So to be precise, Wang Anshi's reform is not wrong. Reform is the only way out now. If the Song Dynasty does not change, it will be a dead end.

But the meaning of Wang Anshi's reform cannot be exaggerated. This reform is not perfect, and it has indeed produced many new problems. It is indeed making money. Like Zhao Xu, he did not use real talents well.

Moreover, Wang Anshi is both noble and stubborn.

Sima Guang said that he was disgraceful, but he did not belittle him too much.

Because of his nobleness, please rest assured that Wang Anshi only said this sentence, and would not use this great victory to protect the reform.

But Guo Kui was thinking.

Is this true?

He was a little unbelievable. Of course, the financial situation was sufficient, and the results of this victory would be expanded. For example, if some soldiers were drawn from the rear to support him, Yanzhou could not only be Tumen, but also pick up the defense line of Luowucheng that Zhong Yan had last year to open up Linzhou and Suizhou. It could also directly threaten Yinzhou.

You can also take down all the Xiamazhai, Qinggang Gorge, Qing Border Army, Zheqiang Association, and Win the mouth. At least Cai Ting can occupy Xiaochuan south of Xiaoguan.

Of course, that would require more troops to be dispatched and more materials and money.

However, if it is achieved, not only Yanzhou, but also Weizhou, Tiandu Mountain and Yinzhou in the Western Xia can face attacks at any time. At that time, it was a war or a peace, and the Song Dynasty had completely taken the initiative.

But as for destroying the Western Xia, Guo Kui really didn't believe it. Is it really easy to destroy the Western Xia? Guo Kui didn't believe it very much. The example of Zhuozhou is not like, but there is one example that can be compared, that is Yizhou, because it was hanging alone in Hebei north of the Yishui River, so it had to be thrown away during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty.

There is another example: Wang Chengmei and his wife in Fengzhou are very powerful, but as soon as they died, they were immediately captured by Li Yuanhao.

However, this is all the civil officials fighting. Of course, although Wang Ju is also fighting, he is fighting for the country, so in terms of love, Guo Kui is on Wang Ju's side.

But Guo Kui also guessed wrongly. Wang Ju was not only fighting for the country, but also fighting for the soldiers of the three armies.

However, no matter which reason, Guo Kui will never point it out.

Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Lao Wen is very smart. There is a reason why he served as the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture for so many years.

Because of Han Qi's forced journey over the past few months, Zhao Xu was always worried about the powerful ministers and Wang Anshi, so he needed a different theory in the court to disturb him. This was not as thought by later generations, Zhao Xu had extremely trust in Wang Anshi.

Only Zhu Xi is right. Zhao Xu has finished learning Wang Anshi's art. Lao Wang, hello. Lao Wang, let's do it. Lao Wang, and Lao Wen can do it too.

There is another reason. Although Lao Wen has been making small moves in secret, he can stop it. When he saw something wrong, he immediately shut up and said nothing. So Zhao Xu tolerated him staying in the Western Palace.

Zhao Xu also sighed, "Where is the money?"

So Wang Ju made a mistake, and this bias made Zhao Xu pay more attention to money.

Of course, Zhao Xu’s dream of a strong country cannot be said to be wrong. Wang Ju made a guess. If the Song Dynasty had solved Xixia and Hehuang before Wanyan Aguda rose, what would happen?

There is no doubt that the Song Dynasty would shift all its focus to the north, and the relationship between the Song and Liao countries became very tense. The Song Dynasty would build more fortresses on the front line. The first line of defense came out. Later, even if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could not be recovered, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom could not go south smoothly. Moreover, after obtaining the wealth of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens would fall very quickly. How could the Northern Song Dynasty perish?

If you get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, that meaning is even more extraordinary. With the financial resources of the Song Dynasty, it is enough to build a new Great Wall. In addition, the construction of layers of fortresses in the Yanyun area, let alone the Jin Dynasty, even if Genghis Khan comes, he dare not say that he will successfully force the Song Dynasty to Jiangnan and then destroy it.

However, this dream of a strong country cannot be achieved by having money.

Just like the five-way attack on Xia in history, without Gao Zunyu, even if Lingzhou is successfully captured, can Xixia be destroyed? There are also Zhuchengs of Xingqing Prefecture in Hexi, Dingzhou, Shunzhou, Huaizhou, Jingzhou... Let's attack slowly. But what weather was there at that time? Winter is coming. Besides, the Liao Kingdom silently saw that Xixia was destroyed?

Of course, if Gao Zunyu is not there, one is forced to retreat and the other is defeated, and the nature is eventually different.

Therefore, in addition to finance, there is another more important issue, that is, the system.

There were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty, but look at what famous generals were, Zhang Kang, Jinshi, Wang Shao, Jinshi, Zhang Feng, Jinshi, Zhang Jun, Jinshi, Yu Yunwen, Jinshi, Zhao Fang, Jinshi, they were really a dynasty with many Confucian generals. There were even more powerful brothers, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Wu Jie and Wu Lin, Bi Zaihui, Wang Jian, Zhang Yu, Meng Zongzheng, Meng Gong, Hu Zaixing, and Du Gao, all of which were at risk in the country and were valued. And these people have a great characteristic. When most of them succeeded and became famous, they learned from Han Shizhong one by one, and asked for retirement to protect themselves in order to avoid ending like Yue Fei.

Therefore, it is not that the Song Dynasty had no generals, but that under this strange system, these generals could not use their talents well. As for the relatively peaceful period, military generals had no chance, so they could only use civil officials, which led to so many Confucian generals...

It's exactly this relative "peaceful era".

During this period, how could a general rise to power? Just like Liu Changzuo, could he display his talents well?

Most of them are what Wang Ju said, he will do whatever he wants. He dare not doubt or imagine. So how much room for improvement can he have in the future? Even if he becomes a famous general in the future, he will never think of becoming a general of Meng Gong at the level.

There is also Jiaozhi in the south. Zhang Feng gave three examples very well, and then proved that if Jiaozhi had a meaning of being unintentional, it would be better to appease him. Send troops to conquer him and destroy him. If he uses fewer troops, he cannot conquer him. He would not expect that Li Jing and Ma Yuan would have the record of pacifying the south again. In the current situation of the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible for Ma Yuan and Li Jing to appear, and there would be no room for growth and performance. If he sent more troops, it would not be worth it.

So the right path doesn't work, and Wang Ju was thinking about the "skewed path".

But who dares to touch this system? Wang Ju dares not touch it, it will be more troublesome than "equal taxes". That will be... an enemy of all scholars and officials!

Besides, this system is not useless. It at least ensures that the generals will not usurp the country. As a monarch, how would they choose?

As a king, Zhao Xu didn't think so much. But he was very happy now.

Many times, as Wang Ju said, it’s not that you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want.

For example, in the case of border affairs, his ideas were opposed by almost 80% of the scholars and officials. Could it be that so many scholars and officials were demoted to the officials?

The record of Wang Ju came at the right time.

Everyone retreated one after another and returned to the Western Prefecture. Wen Yanbo said to Feng Jing: "In this era, a great victory on the front line is certainly a good thing, but I am afraid that from then on, the country will be in danger if the government learns from the early years of Emperor Taizong."

"Yes, Duke Wen should imitate Zhao Pu." Feng Jing said.

It’s still good to win, just stop when you see it’s good. This is Feng Jing’s idea.

"With this record, it's hard to say."

Wang Ju wrote this record very clearly. Yanzhou will not let you go to the capital of our Song Dynasty, but I will let you go. When I arrive in the capital, there will naturally be many literati and officials who love peace and say good things for you. Then peace talks will be successful. Why do you do this? The peace talks will be successful, and your status as Queen Mother Liang will be stable. In the future, she will be in poverty and deposed military forces and lead you Xixia to the road to destruction.

Maybe even when you arrive in the capital, some literati and officials will say good things for you Xixia, agreeing to exchange Tumen for Suizhou and this section of Hengshan.

It seems that Xixia did not have this request in the original letter of nationality. But after hearing Wang Ju say that, Wei Ming Kerong and Lu Ning tampered with the letter of nationality and made this request.

Although no one really agreed to this request, he led Yang Hui, Sun Gu and other important officials to exchange Hengshan for Tumen.

I was slapped in the face, and the face was so painful that I was beaten by this kid.

In this case, can I talk more about it? Do you want the emperor to remove his Privy Councilor's official position?

"In this era, if peace talks are successful, will the Liang family plunder our dynasty in the future?"

"Duke Wen, it's hard to guess."

"Zhongtong, you say."

"As long as you survive these two years, you will still come and plunder."

"What will be returned to Suizhou and Hengshan in this way?"

"Duke Wen, even if he returns it, many people in Xixia will touch you in the past few years, but after a few years, he will still come to plunder." Guo Kui replied honestly.

On this, he agreed with Zhao Xu's opinion that, not to mention peace, even if you give one million to Xixia a year, you can't buy peace. There is only one road, and anyone with a big fist will occupy more. After taking Suizhou, Xixia repeatedly sent troops and returned home. Therefore, Suizhou still belongs to the Song Dynasty. Wuzang Erie occupied the west of Quye River, and Guo En sent troops to defeat him, so the west of Quye River is from Xixia.

There are no other roads to choose from.

But Wen Yanbo has always wanted peace, what should he say?

"Is there no other way, war will stop, and life will be in trouble..." Wen Yanbo suddenly couldn't continue.

There are also records on the record. Eunuch Huang said that everyone opposed the war for the sake of the people. Wang Ju ridiculed that if he really thought about the people, look at how much income these literati and officials earned and how much wealth they had in their families, but how much they took out to help the poor and the disaster victims? Almost nothing! Wen Yanbo did not. If so, his family would not have usury. Han Qi did not, otherwise his family would not have so much arable land.

So don't use this people's livelihood to talk about things.

Guo Kui felt very funny. What about people's livelihood is just because he is afraid that the status of military generals will be consolidated again. The reason is not only this... but this is also part of the reason.

"Sima Guang is right. The king makes money, and the little king rises the border. With these two kings, the country will never be peaceful."

Guo Kui was unhappy, what about Xiao Wang Xingbian? Does Wang Ju want to fight? That's called giving orders in the face of danger. Such a great victory, but he took the three armies to Yanzhou to grab salt, and then he did not use troops anymore. This is also called Xiao Wang Xingbian?

It seems that Duke Wen is far inferior to Duke Han.

But he didn't know that Han Qi was not the former Han Qi.

This record made Wen Yanbo feel uncomfortable...

He walked around and finally said roughly: "However, from Luowu City last year to Qingzhou this year, the people of Shaanxi lived a dark and straitful life. Therefore, the war must stop and no accidents can happen."

It turns out that Wen Yanbo is even more anxious than Liang... But Guo Kui really understands that for the sake of this so-called peace, facing the strong Han Qi, Wen Yanbo asked for the return of Suizhou five times and three times, which almost forced Han Qi to go crazy in Chang'an.
