Prime Minister

Chapter 682
The administrative office of the Department of Pacification on the edge of Qinfeng Road is located in Weiyuan, Xizhou where Qingping Fort is located.

Officials also have their own ideas. During the Three Kingdoms period, Didao, which is now Xizhou, is a place that military strategists must contend for.

During Jiang Wei's eleven Northern Expeditions, he sent troops to Di Dao many times, uniting the Qiang people here to fight against the Wei army.

And when Deng Ai destroyed Shu, he also sent troops from Didao to attack Jiang Wei who was in the chaos.Opening borders in Xizhou can better connect Sichuan and Shu and Qinfeng Road. This is a long-term plan.

However, Yuantu needs the support of strength, and the official said: "Set up a city exchange in Xihe, and then conquer Muzheng. Does Dong Zhan have a chance of winning?"

Wu Chong said: "My minister observes Zhangyue, and Wang Shao's performances are all in order. Although Muzheng is a big family in the tribe, his power is the weakest. First Muzheng, then Dong Zhan, use troops in sequence, and the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties can be obtained. , the Han people who changed their customs in the past can also return to China!"

The official nodded and said, "I'm just afraid that the conquest will be too much, and I will order Mu Zheng instead, and Dong Zhan to defect to Xixia."

Wu Chong said: "If Li Yuanhao and Li Liangzuo were around, they really would not have dared to do this, but now that the Liang brothers and sisters control the government, at most they will be given titles, and they will not send a single soldier."

Everyone looked at Wu Chong, this is why the court has a good father-in-law.

In another time and space history, it was Wang Anshi, Wang Yu and his son who supported the opening of Xihe.

With Wu Chong's endorsement, the matter was settled like this.

As for the part of Lanzhou and the whole of Huizhou, they are temporarily called Huizhou.

Therefore, the Department of Pacification on the edge of Qinfeng Road has a total of Xizhou, Huizhou, and Tongyuan Army, a total of two states and one army.

Among them, Xizhou took Zhentao as the military quota.

It was also approved to set up a market exchange department in Xihe, and the officials also took out 50 yuan in their internal storage as the capital of the market exchange.

It is agreed on the establishment, and the following is the reward.

At this time Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty heard that Wang Shao was fighting in Guwei, and that the killings were too much. Your Majesty, please order Wang Shao to stop the killing and mainly recruit the tribes. I'm afraid that all the generals will follow suit. It's not Your Majesty." Virtue of good life."

After hearing this, the official said: "That's the case, if you don't use soldiers and horses to defeat the people, the Fan people will not be able to obey."

Wen Yanbo said again: "Wang Shao and Zhang Yue built the state in Guwei. Although they made great achievements, they should not let the power of the border generals be too heavy. Although these two are civil servants, they are loyal to His Majesty, so there is no need to worry about it. The ancestral system is in the front, and Wang Shao is familiar with the relationship between the Tibetans and cannot be taken lightly, so please transfer Zhang Yue back to Beijing, just to fulfill his aspirations of rewarding and rewarding the meritorious officials."

The officials nodded at Wen Yanbo's words, but Wu Chong didn't say anything. He thought that even if Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, with Wang Shao by his side, it wouldn't matter if he still had credit.Moreover, Zhang Yue returned to Beijing to receive the award, which was also what he would like to see.

But he is in a place of suspicion about this matter, so it is difficult to speak.

But Wang Anshi came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible."

The officials also had the idea of ​​calling Zhang Yue back. They wanted to use Wen Yanbo's mouth to agree with this matter, but Wang Anshi unexpectedly opposed it.

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, after Zhang Yue was demoted to Qinzhou General Judge, he was away for only half a year, and he was transferred back to Beijing in a hurry. I think it is inappropriate."

Wen Yanbo glanced at Wang Anshi and smiled slightly.

He knew that Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue had a grudge, and it was reasonable for him to object.

That's right, it was Wang Anshi who demoted Zhang Yue because of the troubles caused by Tai Tai students, and now it is Wang Anshi who disagrees with Zhang Yue's return to Beijing.

Wang Anshi said: "Famous ministers and generals have to practice in the state department. Which important minister in this dynasty has not served as an official in the local area for more than ten years. He has enough qualifications and experience before returning to Beijing to serve as an official."

"Zhang Yue has made great achievements this time, and can make up for his previous mistakes, but hasty transfer back to the capital is not the way of the imperial court to use officials."

Seeing Wang Anshi's objection, the officials also knew the other party's temperament. Since they said it, if they wanted to refute him, the other party would definitely be unhappy.

So the official said: "Then Wang Qing means to let Zhang Yue stay in Xizhou Tongyuan Army."

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty knows that, that's exactly the case. Besides, Gao Zunyu is still on the edge of Qinfeng Road, so there is no need to send someone to restrain him."

Wen Yanbo said: "Wang Shao was recommended by Zhang Yue, if they are in collusion, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Taizong used his troops, he gave more secret plans to the generals. This is not as much as Taizu. Taizu knew the generals and trusted them, so he was able to gain strength. For example, when someone slandered the general Guo Jin for rebellion, Taizu rebelled against the general. The person who made the false accusation explained it to Guo Jin, this is why he believed in it, so everyone in the generals is willing to contribute."

Wang Anshi said: "I think that the general is out in front of the army, so it should be the same."

……

Weiyuan Fort in early May.

Now the climate in Qingtang has become much warmer, and the soldiers of the Song Army have all put on summer clothes.

The large-scale war against Xixia has just ended, and it can be regarded as a peaceful period until the autumn prevention in August and September.

But Zhang Yue and Wang Shao didn't slack off, they led their troops back here.

Ping Xice has already offered, no matter whether the official agrees or not, this Weiyuan Fort must be built, if the official agrees, another Qingping Fort will be built to form a corner with Weiyuan Fort.

At this moment, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao are supervising the construction of Weiyuan Fort, so it can be said that they dare not delay for a moment.

After the Northern Expedition to Xixia last year, Weiyuan Fort was not rebuilt due to the freezing of the soil. Now that the soil has completely melted after the beginning of spring, the city was built here.

Since it is necessary to build a city, civilian husbands are needed, and the exception is to garrison fields, so soldiers and soldiers are required to garrison fields.

These two things require a large population. Last year, Wang Shao's construction of the city and farming did not go well because of insufficient manpower.The several economic pacifiers on Qin Fenglu did not deal with Wang Shao, so they sent few servants.

Qinzhou's civil service did not come, Wang Shao seconded civilian service to Longzhou and Weizhou, but the location of Tongweizhai may take a hundred days for the civilian service, so most of them No one wants to come.

Therefore, when the city was built last year, there were only some civilian services and military assignments, and the progress was very slow.But it is different now, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao captured thousands of people this time, and now they are all building cities and farming in Weiyuan.

Because of manpower, everything is easy to handle.

Wang Shao bought fields from the Fan people nearby to reclaim land, and at the same time sent soldiers and horses to stand by to prevent Mu Zheng from suddenly leading his army over Mount Mobang and harassing the Song army to build the city.

Seeing that the civil service was busy and the city was being consolidated day by day, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's mood became better and better, and from time to time they discussed the issue of their rewards.

On this day, they saw a group of people coming from far away in the Weishui River Valley.

"It's Guo Kui, the general manager of the army and horses on Qinfeng Road!"

They thought to themselves, what is Guo Kui doing all the way here?
The two immediately took more than a dozen horses to meet them. When Guo Kui saw the two coming, he stopped his horses from a distance and put on airs.

After the two met Guo Kui, Guo Kui smiled and said to Zhang Yue: "Sheren, the imperial court's reward has come down, congratulations, you see that although the edict is still on the way, the official document has already spread throughout Qinzhou City, the entire Qinfeng Road."

Guo Kui laughed out loud after stroking his beard.

Zhang Yue saw that it was written on the official document.

Moved to pass judgment on Qinzhou military, right to advise, Tianzhang Pavilion to be made, Zhang Yue was a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Longtu Pavilion to be made, to know Xizhou military.
