"Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and the prince is young, how can you get engaged?" Fan Chunren said anxiously.

Not only him, Cai Que and the others also disagreed.

Some ministers are only one short, which is ridiculous.

Wang Ju thought to himself, Spring and Autumn is in full swing, and if Spring and Autumn are in full swing, I wouldn't be so anxious.

He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this proposal is from my own hands. In the summer, the prince was seriously ill. I came to report to Your Majesty that there were many things that day. Your Majesty did not want me to retire in the future, but I did not agree. Your Majesty wanted to keep me by joining the family, but I still did not agree. Why, once the Western Xia is pacified, the country will have to rest for at least a few years. If this is the case, the system has been improved in recent years. The ministers who can touch have already touched them, and I dare not touch them. I believe they will not dare to touch them in the future."

"Either Yanyun, but Liao Kingdom is really not visible. If they attacked our territory, the right time, place, people and people would be in me, and the winning rate of our sides would be much greater than the defeat rate. But if our dynasty wants to attack Liao Kingdom, the defeat rate would be infinitely magnified. Why? Our dynasty army is the Western Army, which allows them to fight in the northwest and is very familiar with the weather and climate, but it will not be easy to exert its combat effectiveness when it is placed in Hedong, Hebei. Therefore, although the Liao Kingdom is getting more and more powerful, it is not the time to recover Yanyun in these ten years. And if we want to recover Yanyun, we must re-train a large number of new border troops in Hedong, Hebei. Of course, the northwest would have been stable at that time. Even if we transfer our strength to Hedong, the state expenditure will generally not increase but decrease."

"However, for this long time, I stayed in the country and had no effect. Therefore, I wanted to retire and refused His Majesty's kindness. However, I suddenly thought of the time of Renzong (referring to the controversy caused by Empress Guo). The prince had to be trained by elites. The prince also needed to be trained. However, I didn't know who the prince's concubine was, how to train it? So I recommended the lady of the Di family at that time. Of course, I didn't know the lady of the Di family, but I just heard my concubine mention this lady. First of all, after the merits of the general, my royal family went to the royal family to

It is a tradition to join forces with military generals and meritorious deeds. Secondly, this lady's life experience is a bit complicated (referring to being pitiful). Therefore, it is destined to be arrogant and arrogant. Finally, this lady is beautiful. His Majesty was worried at that time. Queen Jia is ugly, but can her character be gentle and dignified? Queen Changsun is as beautiful as a flower, is it considered a sage queen of all ages? Personality may not be related to appearance. It is mainly ￥￡￡￡￡, m.■.± is heredity, acquired experiences and teachings. If the princess is really ugly, how can the husband and wife be friendly?"

"Of course, I am just a suggestion. The reason why His Majesty delayed so long was that His Majesty made it. It was because His Majesty sent someone to inspect for a long time, and indeed his character attracted His Majesty. That's why His Majesty finally decided to discuss this marriage."

Zhao Xu's forehead.

This is not a matter, and Wang Ju and the Di family have no contact, probably just heard from him.

Therefore, he did send someone to observe secretly for a long time. Perhaps this girl was angry with Di Yong's wife. After arriving at her uncle's house, she was still very obedient and pitiful. Even the spy of the Imperial City Division who was observing secretly could not help but sigh.

There are everything, and it’s just an engagement, so why should I drag it?

But this really doesn't work. First, the Song Dynasty did not have such a convention, and second, even if the wife of the Di family would not enter the palace within a few years, what is it to stay in the Di family?

Fan Chunren wanted to say something, but Li Qingchen secretly grabbed her sleeve.

The Di family is the Di family, so if you get engaged, you should get engaged. It is better than letting Wang Ju be the father-in-law of the country.

Think about the emperor's body, and then think about Wang Ju's body. If the emperor is ill, as the father-in-law, with his prestige, if he wants to be a traitor, and wants to be Wang Mang and Yang Jian, who can control it? Although Wang Ju really doesn't have this mind now, people will change. At that time, what if he has this mind?

Maybe booking this marriage in advance will also be beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

Not only did he think so, but many ministers also think so.

Although some of them respect Wang Ju very much, they respect Wang Ju who is a minister, not Wang Ju who is wearing the imperial robe.

So Wang Ju's goal was also achieved. I believe that with Niang Di, Zhao Xu's harem would never be messy again. As long as Zhao Xu was healthy, even if he had to survive for two or three years and fought the Xiang family, it would never be Zhao Ji's turn to be the emperor again.

But there is still something to do.

The minister passed this level, and there were two women in the palace.

Therefore, after the price is over, someone must be sent to the Di family secretly, first instructing the Di family to thank and refuse again and again. Even if they are crazy, they must refuse again and again, not refuse for three or four times, and do not agree.

What should I do? Who made this hypocritical trend popular in the Song Dynasty?

Secondly, I teach this lady Di that once there is a thought in the palace, at least she will let the girl enter the palace and let Gao Taotao take a look. Therefore, the girl must be taught in advance, and you must be respected with great respect when you see Gao Taotao. It is best to have a few pleasant words to make Gao Taotao happy, so that you can successfully become the queen of the Song Dynasty's mother in the world.

There are still many things, it is just engagement, not getting married. Think about how many people will be jealous of them. Therefore, the more the Di family goes back, the more they will be low-key, so that they will not be hated.

Also, once you enter the palace, even if you become the queen, you must respect the two powerful women in the palace, especially Gao Taotao. Of course, this last sentence is not needed for the time being, and then you will give your final order when you are about to go to the other side.

Everyone slowly withdrew from the Chuigong Hall, and Zhang Dun chased after him and asked, "Zi'an, after pacifying Xixia, are you really going to the other side?"

Many people stopped, but not only went to the other side.

Wang Ju stopped: "I am not Zhongyong written by Mr. Jie Fu. I am extremely talented. I don't remember very clearly what age I was. The real teacher who taught me was only my teacher, so I always remember his teachings and protect the people of Shaanxi. In addition, my father killed the people of Xixia, so pacifying Xixia became my biggest dream in my life."

"After pacifying the Western Xia, I don't mean much to the Song Dynasty anymore. I feel very tired and want to rest. Sima Guang once mocked me for going to the other side to be the overseas king. This is simply a joke. Pacifying the Western Xia. The people in Shaanxi can be protected. I also want to rest."

In fact, no matter whether you go to the other side or not, Wang Ju is the king of overseas.

However, in his life, even if he goes to the other side, he will never be the king of overseas.

But deliberately coming out will also relieve everyone's suspicion.

"Since I have rested, I have to rest well. Why do I have to be like a break but not a break? It is not called a break but a break. It is called hypocrisy. In my life, some people call me ruthless, some people decisive, but none of them do I feel hypocritical. I don't bother with hypocritical things."

How could it be that it is not hypocritical? It cannot survive in the political arena of the Song Dynasty. It’s just that the same hypocrisy is the same, some do it more brilliantly, while others do it not.

But Zhang Dun believed it unconditionally, and he also heard that once Wang Juping destroyed Xixia, how great would the contribution be?

If you don’t have military achievements, the key to Wang Ju is not just military achievements.

If the court still needs Wang Ju, and Wang Ju is urgently needed, it doesn't matter if Wang Ju stays in the Song Dynasty. After Guan Jianping destroyed Xixia, when it comes to rest and rest, even if Wang Ju is not so urgent, Wang Ju will be disgusted at that time.

But is the emperor really that kind of person?

Although Zhao Xu was seriously ill, he was not the one who was sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox. The key was not Zhao Xu, but Gao Taotao. How could Zhang Dun think of it?

All officials returned to various departments.

But in just a moment, Zhao Xu summoned the big bosses to Yanhe Palace.

The Northwest Good News is here.

Zhang Yu used a plan to determine the capital of the sky.

There are many factors that have succeeded in this battle. Not only what Guo Cheng and the others thought, but the bad weather was not guarded, but also the morale changes between the two sides brought about by the victory in Pingxia City, but there is actually another fatal factor.

The Song Dynasty used to be passive defense. It was not until Fan Zhongyan that he advocated shallow attack first, but it was also a passive shallow attack. The range of activities on the front line should not be too large. He was loyal to or surrendered to the tribes of the Song Dynasty and wiped out the villages of the diehards. Only in this way could he have a mass base. Then, he would move the fort forward step by step. As long as the entire Hengshan area was captured with this passive shallow attack tactic, Xixia would not be harmed.

Putting aside the exchange between Wang Ju and Zhang Feng on shallow attack tactics... In fact, what Li Xian and Zhong Yan proposed was also an expanded version of Fan Zhongyan's passive shallow attack tactics. It was not that Zhong Yan was inferior to Li Xian, but that Xu Xi was not good at choosing Yongle City.

The Battle of Pingxia City is actually an expanded version of this passive shallow attack tactic and a successful version.

But the actual shallow attack is not only to build a city outside the border, rely on this city and fight against Xixia. The real shallow attack can also rely on this city and launch an attack on the various garrisons in Xixia.

However, this distance cannot be too far, it is best to be within a hundred miles.

Okay, let’s look at the distance between Dangqiang Fort and Tiandu Village, or the distance between Shengqiang Village and Xiaoguan.

However, where could Renduolingding think of it?

Moreover, with the strengthening of defense in the surrounding areas of Tiandu Village, the Song Dynasty did not expand any new forts except for building forts. In this harsh weather, Tiandu Village was almost in a state of unprepared defense.

More than 10,000 Song troops suddenly touched it. In this battle, more than 3,000 rebellious Xia troops were killed, but more than 6,000 Xia troops were captured, including Rendu Lingding, who were also captured alive. Tiandu Mountain is not only an important throat of Xixia, but also the palace is located, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Although the scale of this palace is getting more and more, many nobles come here to spend the winter, and they are also captured by Guo Cheng and Zhe Keshi one by one.

There are many Xia troops in the forts and forts around Tiandu Mountain, but so many important hostages were captured by the Song army, and even the chief general Ren Duolingding was captured. The dragons had no heads, so they had to watch from the wall.

Therefore, Guo Cheng and Zhe Keshi were allowed to plunder a large amount of wealth and livestock, including war horses. After two great victory, nearly 30,000 Xixia horses were seized! As for the cattle and sheep, there were countless cattle and sheep.

Zhao Xu's body trembled excitedly. Renduoling Ding and Renduobaozhong's father and son. Renduobaozhong's son, then forget it, but Renduoliang Ding, could cause trouble to the Song army in the battle against Xia.

"Your Majesty, it really doesn't matter. There are many generals whose military talents are no less than those of Ren and Zero or better than Ren and Zero. I will just give you a few people, and they are alive. They are not a good man. Li Xian, Liu Changzuo, and Miao Su are all above Ren and Zero. There are more generals who seem to be similar or not. Yao brothers, as well as Yao Xiong, Miao Lu, Guo Cheng, Zhe Keshi, Wang Wenyu and other generals. Even if the generals, like Liu Fa, grow up, will not be inferior to Ren and Zero."

During this period, there were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty, and the key point was that the Song Dynasty did not work well.

Zhao Xu was surprised: "Li Xian?"

"Yes, I think talents are not necessarily bound to those types of people. Let's look at the men of Mencius. Shun came from the acres. Fu was raised in the plate, Jiaoge was raised in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was raised in the scholars, Sun Shuao was raised in the sea, and Bailixi was raised in the market. How can we talk about heroes because of our origin? As long as we are talents, the country should use them. How can we guard against thieves because of eunuchs?"

In fact, the eunuch seemed to have become a positive hero when he arrived in the Song Dynasty.

Don’t want Tong Guan. Tong Guan is serious, but he miserably met Yelu Dashi. Such a hero should not want Tong Guan. Even if Yue Fei goes over and can live up to his defeat, it would be considered good.

But Wang Ju didn't know that because of this sentence, some people could never do whatever they wanted a few years later.

However, Wang Ju did not intend to win over the eunuchs, and these words were for the following generals.

"Of course, this victory should be celebrated. It is not for the bravery of the generals. The country is really not short of brave generals now. What is lacking is the talent of the generals. Zhang Zhifu has proved his military talent through these battles and also proved that he grew up. In this way, with ministers such as Zhang Shangying, the government of justice, and Zhang Zhifu is in charge of the army at the critical moment, the Song Dynasty will be peaceful."

That is, I am leaving, as long as the Song Dynasty uses these people well, there will be peace.

Everyone sighed again.

In fact, Wang Ju repeatedly reminded others that we will not be in the Song Dynasty for a long time, so don’t be suspicious of me.

But this battle is not only Tiandu Mountain, but the real intention is Xiaoguan.

Zhang Feng returned from the south in a simple manner. Wang Ju talked to him for a long time and formulated an approximate strategic plan.

It’s just a rough idea, and the specific plan needs to be planned and arranged. This approximate strategic plan is divided into three steps.

The first step is Pingxia City, and the second step is the fortress around Pingxia City.

The third step depends on the situation. First, look at the economic status of the court, and second, look at the loss of troops in Xixia.

In fact, the first step of the third step is to attack Tiandu Mountain, and the second step is the real purpose, Xiaoguan!

If Xiao Guan had a great significance for occupying it, he wanted to attack Xia. For example, the five routes that the Song Dynasty attacked Xia the previous year, whether it was Zhong Yan's North Second Road or Li Xian's West Road, they were a bit far away. The nearest ones were Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road.

Huanqing Road is closer because Wang Ju occupied part of Hengshan, but it is three or four hundred miles away to Lingzhou, and more than three hundred miles is not far away. The key is mostly salt and salt-alkali land, which is very difficult to replenish. This is why a large number of civilians follow the army.

However, this is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Or start from Jingyuan Road, then you have to move forward step by step from the Zhenrong Army. That is Liu Changzuo. If it is an ordinary mediocre general, he may not be able to push it to Xiaoguan.

What if Xiao Guan took it down?

The south of Xiaoguan is the terrain of Maoliang, but after passing Xiaoguan, it is mostly a flat land. In front is Mingsha City, and when Mingsha City goes down Lingzhou, it undoubtedly poses a fatal threat to Xixia.

But why did the Song Dynasty not move towards Xiaoguan after the great victory in Pingxia City? It was mainly because it was too far away from the front line, the mass base was weak, and it was alone in the enemy's territory. The terrain of Xiaoguan was so important that if it was not done well, it would become a battle in Yongle City. Even if it was not a crushing defeat, it would not be worth it if it was a heavy sacrifice.

Therefore, the first step was to pacify Xia City. After the victory, the rafts were sent to Tiandu Mountain to win over the nearby Qiang tribes, and also won over some tribes south of Xiaoguan. However, in order to confuse the enemy, they mainly moved around Tiandu Mountain.

However, with these grappling and contact, some tribes will turn to the Song Dynasty. After the Battle of Pingxia City, the Western Xia became even more embarrassed, which also provided favorable conditions for winning over the tribes. There were also support from the forts in the rear, and it was no longer an isolated city standing overseas.

Therefore, with the battle of Dingtiandu in the wind and snow, it was a great shock, and the other was a large amount of Xia army forces.

As the Song army stepped out of the Qiang Village in the snow and stepped out of the Qiang Village, they came to Xiaoguan City in a mighty manner. The artillery fired together and countless tiger cannons were continuously fired. In just three days, when the Lord Xiaoguan saw that no reinforcements arrived, he had to lead his troops to surrender.
To be continued...
