Han Zhen still didn't believe it: "How could Aligu rebellious?"

Wang Ju corrected: "Duke Han, does Tubo belong to our Song Dynasty?"

The name is Tubo, who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but don’t take it seriously, Xixia also surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

"Where does not belong to the territory of the Song Dynasty, can the word "reverse" be expressed? And which clan member of Aligu is?"

"The Uighurs also have a grudge against the Xixia people."

"But is there a feud?"

Tubo and Dangxiang people had a feud, and they had formed hatred since the Tang Dynasty. So when Mu Zheng was confused, he did not dare to openly unite with Xixia. How much hatred did the Uighurs and Xixia have? Even if Xixia took over the Ganzhou Uighurs, that's it. The Ganzhou Uighurs did not resist, and it was Aligu.

Han Zhen finally believed it.

"Taibao, or we will stop the battle in Mingsha City."

"Han Gong, it's not appropriate," Wang Ju shook his head, thought for a while and said again: "The Battle of Mingsha City must be carried out. This is a great opportunity. Our dynasty has returned to its peak, no less than when Wang Shaoping destroyed Xihe. However, the political chaos in Xixia and the economy is even weakest. If Xixia is not destroyed at this time, there will be no time to destroy Xixia in the future. The more Aligu turns his back on his mind, the more the battle will be launched, and the enemy will be destroyed to the greatest extent. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to destroy Xia in the future."

Han Zhen was speechless.

Not only the reason Wang Ju said, but there are other reasons.

For example, Wang Ju was in the court, which was a critical reason.

If Wang Ju is lost, who can be sure to destroy Xixia?

In order to destroy the summer, in recent years, especially this spring, countless grains and grass have been transported to Shaanxi Road.

Just the tens of thousands of prisoners of war were just there. If this battle was won, a large number of prisoners of war could be obtained. These prisoners of war alone would reduce the burden on the people of Shaanxi Road.

Not to mention recruitment, if a normal laborer ignores the farm work and takes on transportation tasks, the court will have to pay at least 30 trump cards a year. This money can be paid by the court, but in that case, many farmlands on Shaanxi Road will be deserted. Will it be possible to transport grain from the Central Plains to feed the people of Shaanxi Road? Think about the cost of transporting one stone of grain to Shaanxi Road. The same stone of grain, purchased and bought from Shaanxi Road locally, may only be one tenth of the cost of transporting it from the Central Plains or the South!

But now with these prisoners of war, they can not pay any compensation. The grain will be transported to various places on Shaanxi Road. After the autumn is free, a few people will be mobilized, and the grain and grass can be transported to the forts and forts on the front line.

So this may be a war that is not too exhausting.

But after passing this village, there is no more store.

Wang Ju thought about it and immediately wrote a letter, notifying Miao Su, Wang Wenyu and Zhang Yu of his guesses respectively.

At the same time, another transfer order was issued.

Wang Guangzu, Wang En, Liu Fa, Guo Jingxiu and Jia Yan were appointed as the fortresses of Ganquan Fort, Dingxi City, Anxi City, Pingxi Village, and Kangu Fort respectively. The former fortresses were unmoved, but they had to be controlled by these five village masters to strengthen the forces in this area.

He also ordered Wang Wenyu and Li Xian to go south from Qu Wushan, there would be some small forts built by Li Xian in front of these forts, but they would give up all of them, let the enemy go straight in and put them in Dingxixia Pingxi Village to fight.

The deeper they went, the more they divided the troops of Xixia and had no time to rescue Mingsha City. If they returned, the battle of Mingsha City over there would be about the end, and Zhang Shi would give him a chance to further annihilate the enemy.

Wang Ju didn't have time to think about it in detail. It was the most correct way to notify the front line as quickly as possible, but he also ordered Wang Wenyu and Li Xian to obey Zhang Xi's command to avoid fighting each other.

"Five generals and five generals took away the officers and soldiers. Are there enough troops on Jingyuan Road?" Han Zhen was worried again.

After all, this battle went deep into Mingsha City. Even though Xixia divided a large number of troops to Nanhuizhou, Lingzhou, Xingqing Prefecture and Helan Mountain, there were still a large number of troops stationed in it.

"Han Gong, where is the front line of Jingyuan Road?"

"Xiao Guan?"

"What path did Zhang Zhifu build last year?"

"Are you referring to the troops on Huanqing Road?"

"No matter which force along the way, are they Song Bing?"

So Wang Ju wrote another order to Zhong Shidao, and at the same time ordered that before and after the Battle of Mingsha City, the troops on Qinglu must be controlled by Zhang Shi and obey Zhang Shi's arrangements.

All of these commands were delivered to the front line with quick feet.

Wang Ju called out another clerk and said, "Go and invite Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xiong."

That is, Zhang Dun, Xu General and Kumamoto.

The top ministers in the court, only these three people understand military affairs, and when they are involved in military affairs, they must ask Xu Jiang to come and discuss.

After a while, the three of them arrived, and Wang Ju talked about the situation briefly.

Several people frowned. In fact, the Tubo in Huangzhou is not scary now, and the Xixia is not scary anymore. If you unilaterally deal with either, there will be no big problem. However, facing both at the same time, you will feel a headache.

"Let's go to meet the official family." Wang Ju said.

The so-called three-provincial system is made by the Secretary of the Central Committee, the deliberation of the subordinates, and the six departments of the Secretary of the Central Committee. The Secretary of the Central Committee has the greatest power and can decide all military and national affairs in the country, but it is not just one. First, you must pass at least two levels. The first level is that the real military and national affairs must be informed to the emperor and approved by the emperor. The second level is that the subordinates review this level. This is actually a balance of rights and prevention of powerful ministers, which is how Wang Ju said to reasonably decentralize power.

But the Tang Dynasty has been changing, but the result has changed and trapped itself in.

The Song Dynasty again saw a strange system of officials who were not in charge of the government, and the result was even worse. Perhaps the powerful ministers could not control the country, but the layers of undercurrents formed serious redundant officials and redundant governments.

This was the Yuanfeng Reform. However, compared with the three-provincial system of the Tang Dynasty, the three-provincial system after the Yuanfeng Reform had more restrictions. For example, the two-system institutions still existed. For example, in addition to the Central Secretariat and the Ministry of War, there was also the Tongzhi Privy Council. At the same time, the military power was still in the three-part system, but the decision-making and military transfer power changed from the original Western Prefecture to three parts. The Central Secretariat, the Ministry of War and the Tongzhi Privy Council, the three yamen in charge of the troops, and the division of local officials.

Someone may ask, what about Cai Jing and Qin Hui.

Cai Jing and Qin Hui were extremely powerful, but that was the power given to them by Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou. Therefore, when Song Qinzong came up, he took Cai Jing down. Does Cai Jing dare to rebel?

Wang Ju wanted power and trust, not to destroy this system. Instead, Zhao Xu stopped placing some of Wang Ju's political enemies into the court to make checks and balances, and also believed and supported his decisions. In fact, what he wanted was the rights that Cai Jing and Qin Hui were like. There was no over-control behavior.

There were important military and national affairs, and Wang Jude reported to Zhao Xu in advance.

This happened, of course it was time to report to Zhao Xu.

The five ministers first met with Zhao Xu, and Wang Juzheng said something.

"Ali Gu?" Zhao Xu didn't believe it very much.

"Aligu is an Uighur. He has no feud with Xixia."

"This is a bit troublesome..." Zhao Xu murmured, you can't start a war on both sides.

Wang Ju glanced at everyone and said, "You guys, what do you think?"

Kumamoto said: "Your Majesty, you guys, it is actually a good time to recover Western Xia and Huangzhou."

"Recover Huangzhou?" Han Zhen was about to faint. Huangzhou was not the only one. It also included Guzhou, Qingtang City, and Xige City, with 100,000 soldiers. It was the base of the Tubo people and was on the plateau. It was so difficult to defeat them.

"That is, Huangzhou has been the land of the Han family since ancient times, so why can't it be recovered?" Kumamoto said.

But to say this, one is that Zhang Shi has won many great victories, and another gives everyone confidence, and the other is that Wang Ju is in charge.

And now Wang Ju happens to be in the Song Dynasty. Once he goes to the other side, he may be restored again.

Han Zhen couldn't help but shake his head. Since ancient times, the Han family had a lot of land, such as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, southeastern Liaoning, and northern Goryeo. Strictly speaking, they are all Chinese territory, and there are also the North and South Hetao. Of course, the North and South Hetao is not forgotten. Once Wang Ju destroys Xixia, it will naturally be taken back.

But what about the "Han" lands in the north.

In fact, the land of the Han family in the north cannot be taken back. If Wang Ju successfully takes over the Western Xia, Zhao Xu will live longer in the future, and Wang Ju will consciously temper some young players who can fight, such as Liu Fa and others, and even the future main generals are being cultivated, that is, Master Zhong.

Maybe the way of Master Zhong is still not as good as Yelu Dashi, but so what? Then the other side may be able to provide more powerful weapons...

However, there was a Gao Taotao in the middle, and Wang Ju didn't mention it anymore.

Kumamoto continued: "When Tubo was at its peak, it was still the hand of the sage. But once he died, Tubo was divided into pieces. As a result, our dynasty got Xihe. However, Dong Wen was still the orthodox Tubo, so Huangzhou could not be conquered. However, although Tubo in Huangzhou is powerful now, Aligu is not the orthodox location. At least Wen's family would not be convinced. At the same time, Dong Wen died for a long time, and Aligu dared to report his demise to the court. In fact, it was also dissatisfied internally. After being rectified for a long time, it is now barely called taking over Huangzhou."

In general, this area is not big or small. If a capable person rules, then relying on the advantage of territories and harmony, the court will have a headache.

But Aligu took over and could not achieve true unity within the country, so it became the best time for the court to recover Huangzhou.

"If Huangzhou is obtained, if the imperial court spends some financial resources and uses a lot of gunpowder to blow up the Dadoubagu, then Huangzhou can support Ganzhou Liangzhou, and in turn, Ganzhou Liangzhou can also support Huangzhou."

"Support Ganzhou and Liangzhou, can we prevent the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Xu asked.

Wang Judai answered: "Mr. Xiong's intention is not to prevent the Liao Kingdom. Although the Liao Kingdom can use the help of blocking the road to the west to Ganzhou, there are too many areas bordering our country. There is no need to use troops from the west. If you want to use troops, just go directly to Hebei and Helan Mountain, or go directly to Hetao Helan Mountain from Yinshan. If you detour where the Uighurs in Ganzhou is, there is little or no enough troops to hinder our dynasty. If you have a lot of troops, a logistics will make the Liao Kingdom embarrassed. However, Xiong's intention is to prevent the Qiang people from going to rebellion in the future, but if you open the Great Dou Bagu, you can use the Han to control the barbarians and use the barbarians to control the barbarians. For example, if someone in Huangzhou causes rebellion, you can mobilize the Uighurs in Ganzhou to suppress the rebellion, and the Uighurs in Ganzhou can cause rebellion, and the Tubo people in Huangzhou can suppress the rebellion. At the same time, it is also conducive to trade and trade."

"Big fight?"

"It is the valley where Emperor Yang of Sui came back from the expedition to the west."

"It is said that most of the soldiers died."

"Not much, mainly because of the sudden cold weather. If it was so dangerous, Tubo would not have launched attacks on the Liangzhou area of ​​the Tang Dynasty many times since then. However, the mountain road was indeed very difficult, so Xiong said that it would be easy to use a lot of gunpowder to widen it as much as possible. If you really want to do this, you can slightly improve the road situation, at least from late spring to autumn, you can provide business travel and travel."

"I remembered it too. It is west of Chiling."

"It is west of Chiling, but the water and soil west of Chiling are now deteriorating severely. Although some tribes live, the population of these tribes is not large. It is not enough to cause trouble. As long as the court takes Huangzhou and writes a letter, these tribes can convince these tribes. It really doesn't work. If you have a little force, you can pacify them. There is no need to worry about them." Wang Ju said, and gave a wink at Kumamoto. You should talk about the topic.

"The key is to look at this battle," Kumamoto didn't know it at first, but Wang Juzheng's plan to fight Mingsha City just now also said: "If this battle can be successful, it will greatly weaken the strength of Xixia. Then Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road cooperate with the use of troops at the same time, the war can be started on both sides. Otherwise, even if Xixia is destroyed, the Hexi Corridor will not be easy to take down. Instead, it will be encroached by Aligu, and he is an Uighur. Although ruling Huangzhou cannot convince many people, using military forces in Ganzhou and Suzhou will be more popular than our dynasty's officers and soldiers. That will destroy one and another. On the contrary, our dynasty will also distribute troops to resist the Liao Kingdom in Yinshan and Hexi, so the northwest forces cannot be reduced but must be increased. Also, because the journey is farther and the cost is amazing."

But when he said this, Kumamoto hesitated for a moment. He said, "But I'm afraid of the Liao Kingdom..."

If fighting on both sides is a seemingly dangerous chess game, but with Zhang Wang and others here, it is not a dangerous chess game. But only when the Liao Kingdom sends troops, there are many loopholes everywhere.

"It's okay. If Taibao hadn't destroyed Jiaozhi, and used Chameng to restrain the Zhenla people, the south would invade again. It would be enemies on all sides." Xu Jiang said.

"Will the Liao Kingdom send troops?" Han Zhen asked.

Who knows this?

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Ju, and Wang Ju said, "Your Majesty, I am so ruthless. Rong Message think about it again. In fact, how to do it is as Xiong Gong said. It is best to wait until the battle in Mingsha City is over."

Wang Ju slowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, even in the court, you need an important official who understands the military."

Zhao Xu's forehead.

Just like when Wang Ju was in the court, he immediately made a judgment when he received news from Zhang Yu and issued some orders in a timely manner.

If there is no Wang Ju, wait and make arguing. After arguing, the front will be finished...
To be continued...
