"On the opposite are Zhuo Luo and Nanjun Office of Xixia..." Zhang Shuye got off the horse and pointed at the opposite side and shouted loudly.
Wen Fei nodded and didn't care much. Xixia is a distant historical memory for him. Maybe half of the Chinese in later generations don't know that this country existed!
"The people of Xixia are the most fierce and cruel. Every winter, after the Yellow River freezes, they will send troops to cross the river to our Song Dynasty to harass, kill the people, and loot women's wealth." Zhang Shuye pointed at the more than 300 meters to praise him.
Wide Yellow River channel.
The weather in later generations became warmer, and Wen Fei’s place was not as north as possible. Naturally, he could not imagine what it would look like after such a wide Yellow River freezes. However, he did not notice the focus of Zhang Shuye’s speech.
"I am going to build a fortress at the Mumaji place, and garrison troops so that the Xia thieves cannot invade!" Zhang Shuye said, "This place must be rushed. As long as you can build a fortress here, you can report my Lanzhou safety. It is not in vain that I will be an official here! What can the immortal master teach me?"
Wen Fei shrugged and said, "Since those Western Xia people can fight for robbery in winter, you can also fight for it in winter. It's useless to defend, Verdun's defense line is so powerful..." He said halfway through and immediately kept silent. Nowadays, he said Verdun, who knows?
"That's what you say..." Zhang Shuye smiled bitterly. He was different from ordinary scholars and officials at this time. He loved military affairs, probably passed down from his grandfather. He was not the kind that ordinary scholars were afraid of when they heard about wars.
Wen Fei was not as scruple as he was, and said, "I want me to tell you that the Song Dynasty has money and food, and there are so many troops. I might as well destroy Xixia directly. What else can I do to guard against?"
Zhang Shuye could only smile bitterly completely. After all, he was an immortal and did not know the difficulties of the world. The monarch and minister of the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Xixia since Li Yuanhao's founding of the country. However, in the era of Li Yuanhao, he had never won a war with Xixia. After the Zhenzong, he used a large amount of troops and recovered the land of Hehuang, which was only considered to be a breaking the right arm of the Western thief. Until today's official family, he was even more happy with the achievements and could not do anything to the people of Xixia.
"The Western Pirates are separated from us by the desert next door, and it is difficult to overcome... It is difficult to transfer food and grass..." Zhang Shuye put an objective difficulty.
Wen Fei said, "After all, your Song Dynasty admires culture and is weak in military affairs, has poor national strength, and is too weak in military power. You can't even destroy a small Xixia, so you have to find so many excuses!"
Zhang Shuye's face turned red, and both sides parted in dissatisfaction. Wen Fei was a later generation, and his impression of the Song Dynasty was that of poverty and weakness in textbooks, and he valued literature over military affairs. He did not have too deep impression of others, so he naturally looked down on Zhang Shuye.
However, when I chatted with my father just now, I learned that there was a reason for the Song Dynasty to emphasize literature over military affairs. Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty court could not control all the military generals under its jurisdiction. The military generals separatisted the country and fought against each other, causing chaos in the world, not only with the consequences of the world. Moreover, after the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, they rebelled repeatedly, and those with strong soldiers and horses dared to call themselves emperors, making the whole world a mess!
With such a criminal record, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the ministers under the emperor regarded the generals as thieves as thieves. This led to the situation in which the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and over military affairs.
"I have been in the Song Dynasty, which is more beautiful than modern times. In modern times, I am just a little otaku. Boss Huang can kill me like an ant. But I am different in the Northern Song Dynasty. Even Zhang Shuye's official position for the third generation, he respectfully called the immortal master. Although the foreigners are fierce, they are full of fear when they see me!" With this idea, Wen Fei's mind slowly changed. He changed his mindset about the Northern Song Dynasty from a pure outsider and a game.
"It seems that I still have to help Zhang Shuye's busyness." He already knows Zhang Shuye's background. Although Zhang Shuye's Lanzhou Records Officer was not a high-ranking official, he was only eighth-rank. But this guy has a strong background. His grandfather has been the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Although his father had no one to be successful in his life and had no big names, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and Zhang Shuye was still a serious third generation official.
Wen Fei was not familiar with the place in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he could only rely on the Zhang family! It was not difficult to help Zhang Shuye build a fortress. What Zhang Shuye was worried about was that if the people in Xixia heard about him building a fortress, they would send troops to harass him. However, Wen Fei could provide cement to Zhang Shuye, which could save more than half of his time. Maybe when the people in Xixia heard the news, the fortress would be completed.
This is not something Wen Fei said randomly. The big ones in the village are nine hundred steps in the city, and the small ones are five hundred steps in the small ones... The big ones in the fort are two hundred steps in the city, and the small ones are hundreds of steps in the small ones. With Zhang Shuye's small eighth-rank record officer, he has the connections of his ancestors, and it is already very good to be able to build a small fort.
The one who defeated the sky was only two hundred steps, but even the fortress of this size was a fortress. According to Zhang Shuye, he would mobilize about 15,000 civilians to start construction for more than a month. Such a big move was known by the people of Xixia, and they would definitely send troops to destroy it.
But if there is enough cement, it will not take so many people and not so long. At worst, I will work harder and pull two trucks of cement over at that time.
Thinking of this, I solved a problem and my alcoholism surged. I fell asleep unknowingly.
I woke up in a sleep. It was four or five o'clock, and my parents had not gotten off work. Wen Fei went out to find Zhang Yu and said straight to the point: "Let's go, solve the problem of the house!"
Before Zhang Yu could react, he shouted, "What house and what problem should be solved?" As he said that, he suddenly reacted and shouted, "It's almost dark now!"
Wen Fei was naturally talking about the problem inside the old house. Zhang Yu was almost killed by a tiles last time, and he realized that he was afraid afterwards. At this time, he heard Wen Fei shouting to go to the old house to solve the "things" inside, and he suddenly started to scream.
"Nonsense, of course, it's only time to go tonight to solve that thing. He doesn't dare to come out during the day!" Wen Fei said.
"If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go!" Zhang Yu said timidly.
To be honest, Wen Fei was also a little scared, otherwise he wouldn't have come to pull the fat man with him: "I haven't settled the score with you about Huang Sheng yet, are you going?" Wen Fei asked straightforwardly.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yu had no choice but to accept his fate and surrender. Who told him to betray Wen Fei first? He said reluctantly: "I'll say it first. If I go with you this time, our affairs will be written off!"
