As soon as Zhao Guanjia said these words, the atmosphere at the scene became solemn.

Zhao Ning looked around, and Zhang Shuye came out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is quite controversial and needs to be resolved with rights and interests."

Xu Han also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with what Xianggong Zhang said. The Xigong matter involves too much. There are many disputes in it, and it is not convenient to make a blanket decision."

The problem between Xi Gong and Liu Guangshi is a big problem.

They are not only military issues, but also involve very deep political issues behind them.

Let’s talk about Xigong. Xigong, the former Jingyuan Road Commander, escaped during the earth-shattering battle of Chang’an on December 16, the second year of Jingkang!

This led to the collapse of the army on the left.

Is this a capital crime?

This kind of crime deserves to be cut to pieces!

However, military issues are often political issues.

How many people died on the Western Front in the Third Song-Jin War is still a secret.

But even the secret is still being debated in the DPRK.

For example, Cai Mao once said: Zhang Jun did not know the soldiers and rushed to fight, which not only caused the tragic death of 100,000 soldiers in Yan'an, but was also the main culprit of the defeat of Chang'an.

Even centrists like Xu Han said: Zhang Jun is determined to achieve success, and if the Eastern Front does not come to the rescue, Shaanxi will fall.

Even Zhang Shuye expressed this emotion: If Shaanxi could be steady and steady, there would be no need for such casualties!

This shows that there is great controversy about the situation in Shaanxi during the Third Song-Jin War.

This controversy is not only controversial at the grassroots and middle levels, but also at the top.

After all, in the third battle between Song and Jin, the Northwest Forbidden Army failed to defeat the Jin Army.

Returning to the controversial point of the issue, was it Zhang Jun's decision-making that caused the Shaanxi defeat, or was it Xi Gong's responsibility?

You must know that at that time, all Shaanxi economic and strategic envoys were opposed to Zhang Jun's decision to rush into the war.

Before Xigong fled, the Song army was almost unable to hold on.

Moreover, after Xigong fled, the rest of the army fled quickly.

If we want to deal with Xigong, wouldn’t other parties also have to deal with it?

It involves a wide range of levels, covering almost most of the top commanders of the Western Army.

The Northwest Forbidden Army itself is the most complicated faction in the Song Dynasty. The situation between Song and Jin Dynasties was extremely tense before, and the relationship between Song and Xia has just stabilized.

Therefore, it is never easy for a country to deal with military and political issues.

Now those who want to keep Xigong are divided into two groups:

One group really believes that Zhang Jun was mainly responsible for the defeat of Shaanxi in the Third Song-Jin War, and Xi Gong was also responsible, but he was the least worthy of death.

The representatives of this group are mainly Zhang Shuye and others.

It is not known whether Zhang Shuye deliberately guaranteed the throne to win over those people in the northwest who wanted to win over the people.

There is also a group of people who believe that the third Song-Jin War and Shaanxi's defeat were all because of Zhang Jun, and all the responsibility fell on him.

There are many people in this group.

For example, Fan Zhixu was the envoy to the Yongxing Military Road, Zhang Shen was the envoy to the Yanyan Road, Wang Si was the envoy to the Huanqing Road, and Zhao Dian was the envoy to the Qinfeng Road.

Of the six roads in Shaanxi, four of them were dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's strategy.

What is the level of a military envoy?

In terms of authority, the Chief Military Officer is the highest military and political officer along the way.

The Ming Dynasty also had strategic plans. For example, Xiong Tingbi once visited Liaodong.

In the Ming Dynasty, the position of manager was higher than that of governor.

Looking at the Song Dynasty without a governor, Jing Lue was the supreme commander of the local military region.

The four major managers were all dissatisfied with Zhang Jun and believed that they were all responsible for him. What did the people below them think?

Now that Zhao Guan's family has submitted a memorial to the Military Governor's Office to interrogate Xigong and Liu Guangshi, the atmosphere at the scene has naturally changed.

"Zongshuai, what do you think?"

Zongze said: "Veteran I feel that it is not appropriate to have too much controversy on this matter, so as not to cause extraneous matters. Since the emperor has promulgated the "Jingkang New Military Law", everything will be handled according to the new military law."

"Where is the Grand Master?"

Zhao Ding said: "I agree with what Commander Zong said."

Zhao Ning said: "Then we will deal with it according to military law."

After saying that, Zhao Guanjia said: "It's getting late, gentlemen, please step aside."

Everyone stood up and said, "I'll beg you to leave."

"Orihiko stays."

After everyone went out, they were thinking that the Zhao Guan family might take action against the military and government next.

Zhe Yanzhi stayed in Wende Hall, and Zhao Ning asked: "Do you know why I summoned you to come back?"

"The sinner doesn't know."

"I heard that you bought a batch of bloody BMWs for Wang Xie, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, in the northwest?"

"It's true."

"How did you buy it?"

"Xiangong Zhang asked his ministers to contact the Uighurs in the northwest in Huangzhou in order to explore the horse market. It happened that the Uighurs came from Gaochang and were doing tea and horse trading in Huangzhou. I bought more than a dozen horses, each of which was

Not bad.”

"I don't know where the prefect Wang knew it from, so he sent someone to say that Yan'an Prefecture was in urgent need of war horses, so he bought ten of them from me at a high price."

Uighurs?

And they are also Gaochang Uighurs?

Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road was blocked by Xixia, and the Western Regions had almost lost contact with the Central Plains.

The conflict between Hua and Yi became more and more serious in the Han Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, people gradually narrowed their horizons from the outside world.

It can be seen from the poems that the all-encompassing majesty of the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty is gone forever, replaced by the expression of personal mood in poems.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, the important affairs of the Song people were not on the frontier, but in the boudoir.

Even Ouyang Xiu's words for a former prime minister were: With tears in his eyes, he asked the flowers without saying a word, and the red color flew across the swing.

The Western Regions were too unfamiliar to the Song Dynasty.

"Is there any way you can buy more horses?"

"Both Tibet and the Uighurs are in urgent need of tea. If the court can provide more tea, it will be possible to buy tea from the northwest."

"How much can I buy?"

"You can buy two thousand horses a year."

Can you only buy two thousand horses?

Zhao Ning definitely couldn't accept this amount. He continued to ask: "Is there a way to buy more?"

Zhe Yanzhi said: "Originally, the Monan barbarians would transport some horses to Longyou to sell, but I found out the news a few months ago that the Monan war horses were tightened across the board, and the buying and selling of war horses was significantly reduced. If the imperial court wants to buy horses, I can go out.

Make a trip to Gaochang Uighur and you will have a good idea."

The Monan barbarians shrank their war horses and headed south?

Zhao Ning began to search the historical events of this period in his mind.

Jingkang four years?

He pondered for a while and then suddenly remembered.

It’s the Yelu Dashi!

In this year, Yelu Dashi summoned eighteen tribes in Monan to fight against the Jin Kingdom. The location was in Kedun City.

Kedun City is located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain in the northwest of Urad Middle Banner, Inner Mongolia.

During the Tang Dynasty, the administrative seat of the Abe Protectorate was located there.

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhao Ning.

Now the Mongol tribes in Mobei are having conflicts with the Jin Kingdom, and Yelv Dashi is stirring up trouble in Monan.

"If we can establish trade with the Xichang Uighurs, how many horses can we increase in a year?"

"I am not sure. If the imperial court can increase the supply of tea, the number of Tibetan and Uighur horse traders should be increased."
