Prime Minister

Chapter 650 Why Don't Men Bring Wu Hook

After Wang Anshi retired from court and returned home, he played chess with Wang Yu while Zeng Bu sat aside.

"Bypassing Hengshan, sending troops from Guwei to directly attack Lanhui, herding horses in the Yellow River, and plundering the territory of Xixia!" When Wang Yu heard what Wang Anshi said, he was beyond shocked.

When Wang Yu was 13 years old, he heard Wang Anshi discussing the Hehuang matter with others, and he once made a bold suggestion, which is comforting and meaningful.Let Xixia win it, and our enemy will be strong and the border will be in trouble.

Wang Yu had this insight when he was 13 years old. If the land of Hehuang was acquired by Xixia, the frontier crisis in Shaanxi would intensify, so the Song Dynasty had to fight for this land.

In the second year of Zhiping, Wang Yu heard that Wang Shao was stationed in Hehuang, but he didn't care about it at the time. He thought to himself, how could Wang Shao's soldiers and horses be able to recruit the Hehuang tribe, and it was quite difficult to defend the ancient Wei village.

Wang Yu looked down on him for the rest of his life, but when he heard that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao sent troops from Guwei, bypassing the danger of Hengshan, and went straight to get the news that Lanhui stabbed the back door of the Xixia people, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Because using Gu Wei to send troops to avoid the danger of Hengshan, this step was beyond his expectation.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yue let the procurator who knew the prefecture's order not do it, but bowed down as a general judge.

Zeng Bu on the side said: "Mr. Xiang's plan is really ingenious. Attacking Xixia with two lines, one strange and one positive, this strategy is comparable to Longzhong's right!"

Speaking of Longzhong, Wang Yu suddenly thought of these words. If the world changes, he will order a general of the Jingzhou army to lead the Yizhou army from Qinchuan with Xiang Wan and Luo as generals. Who dares not to eat the pot of pulp to meet the general?If this is the case, the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can prosper.

Wang Anshi always underestimated Zhuge Liang, and said disapprovingly: "Longzhong is right and wrong. Once they leave Guanzhong, and once they leave Xiangyang, they are divided into two forces thousands of miles away. How can they support each other? How can Kong Ming be undefeated?"

Zeng Bu was taken aback, and felt that Wang Anshi was right.

Wang Anshi paused and said: "However, I am in favor of sending troops from Guwei. I didn't expect that Zhang Duzhi's first move of idle chess would come in handy!"

While talking, Wang Anshi landed a piece on the chessboard with a bang.

This son just fell into Wang Yu's heart.

After a pause, Wang Anshi said: "It's okay if it's really playing chess, but if it's predicted in advance and it's done today, then Zhang Duzhi will be the resurrection of Sun Wu!"

At this moment, Wang Yu couldn't help but said, yes, he had a feeling that what Zhang Yue and Wang Shao did, he seemed to have planned it in a dream, but for some reason, when it came to reality, it was the two of them who were doing it, making him In the end, by mistake, I missed it.

After speaking, Wang Anshi sighed slightly.

Zeng preached: "I heard that Wang Shao was the one who was promoted by Zhang Yue, and later he recommended Wang Shao to the government. It is hard to say whether it was intentional or not."

Wang Yu said: "Zhang Yue can really persuade Dong Zhan. If he can't, with Gu Wei's [-] Han troops and the so-called '[-]' Tibetan cavalry, let alone attacking Xixia territory, even the two prefectures of Lanhui cannot be shaken."

Wang Anshi didn't speak, but Zeng Bu thought, what's the problem if it doesn't work?Zhang Yue didn't need the imperial court to allocate one more soldier, one soldier, one money and one food, and let the imperial court concentrate all the money, food, soldiers and horses to use it to capture Hengshan from the front. Even if it failed, there would be no hindrance.

But Zeng Bu did not attach himself to Wang Yu, nor did he support Zhang Yue, but said: "I think the most important thing is to persuade Dong Zhan to send troops."

In the second year of Zhiping, Gu Siluo passed away, and Dong Zhan inherited his title.In order to win over Dong Zhan to fight against Xixia, the Song Dynasty rewarded him more than his father Zhe Siluo.

Although Tubo and Xixia have feuds and feuds, whether Dong Zhan can be persuaded to send troops is still a matter of opinion.

The opponent is also a master of balance between Xixia and Song Dynasty.

Zeng Bu hinted calmly: "If Dong Zhan doesn't send troops, it will be dangerous for Zhang Duzhi's lone army to go deep."

Wang Anshi nodded, while Wang Yu said flatly, "Who asked him to issue a military order in front of the officials? He doesn't need one soldier and one soldier, one money and one grain."

Wang Anshi said: "Zixuan, you immediately write a letter to Qinfeng Road's transshipment envoy Shen Qi for me! After Zhang Duzhi arrived in Qinzhou, he was allowed to do things cheaply. All officials on Qinfeng Road must cooperate with him."

Zeng Bu was overjoyed, but he deliberately said: "Master, isn't this breaking the rules? Zhang Duzhi is now demoted, and his position is no more than a judge."

Wang Anshi said: "Zi Xuan, state affairs are the most important thing!"

……

And after Zhang Yue left, the official couldn't sleep at night. He looked at the map of Xixia.

The scene of Bai Rizhang leaving more and more has a sense of wind and wind and Yi Shuihan.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao sent troops from Hehuang to flank Lanhui, attracting the attention of the Xixia people, allowing the main force of the Song army to attack Hengshan head-on.With such a small number of troops, if Dong Zhan didn't send troops, it would be the same as sending him to death.

Back then, if Zhang Yue had been appointed as the magistrate of Xuanfu, he could sit in the shogunate with Han Jiang and remotely control the situation of the battle, without having to take the risk of going to the front line in person, but now that Zhang Yue is the judge of Qinzhou, he has to go to the front line in person, and even Go deep into Qingtang to persuade Dong Zhan.

But the officials clearly know that this is a good move. As long as Zhang Yue, Wang Shao and the others send troops to create more momentum, and the longer they support in Xixia territory, the more Xixia troops will be attracted in this way, and the main force of Han Jiang's Song army will face The greater the chance of capturing Hengshan.

Rationality tells the officials that even if the entire army of Zhang Yue and Wang Shao is wiped out, as long as they can capture Hengshan, they will be able to achieve eternal success.

For this decision, the common people will not hesitate to suffer, so it is no harm to sacrifice a minister like Zhang Yue Wang Shao who opened the frontier.

For some reason, the officials couldn't bear it when they thought of this.

He is a generous emperor, when Wang Tao repeatedly persuaded him to kill Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu wanted to avoid future troubles, but he would never do it, let his ancestors cut off the name of being a minister of tolerance from him.

now……

The official immediately ordered the servant: "You immediately write to Gao Zunyu and ask him to cooperate with Zhang Yue in Qingtang."

The servant left immediately after taking orders.

……

After Zhang Yue resigned, he returned to his home because the military situation was on fire.Zhang Yue was going to leave early the next morning, and the family was already packing his luggage.

When Zhang Yue came home, he saw Shi Qi Niang was sobbing at her desk, and after a while, she pretended to be fine when she saw her.

Zhang Yue said in relief: "You don't have to be like this, my lady, it's not like I won't come back."

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Shi Qi Niang burst into tears.

Seventeen Niang turned around and wiped her tears, then leaned back and said, "Officer, why am I not happy to go to make meritorious deeds?"

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar with thousands of households?"

When Zhang Yue heard Shi Qi Niang talk about Li He's poem, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"It's my ambition to be a scholar to worship thousands of households!"

Zhang Yuedao: "Like that Wang Xuance, he is just a scholar. With a piece of proclamation, he can destroy a country by one person without spending a single soldier from the court. Nowadays, we advocate literature and suppress martial arts. Everyone in the military is in danger. Civil servants are mostly playing tricks. Rhetoric, looking for chapters and excerpts, people like Wang Xuance will never be seen again."

"However, a man should be like this!"
