"Duke Wen, is there any news in Qinzhou?" Zhao Xu asked.

Wen Yanbo was speechless.

Because of the force of the Western Xia Dynasty, the main roads in Shaanxi were repeatedly repaired, and the road conditions were relatively good. This was also the reason why Wang Ju usually sent a report to the court in Ningzhou and arrived in the capital in two days.

However, the distance from Beijing to Qinzhou is even further.

It has reached more than 4,000 miles.

Also, they didn't know that Wang Shao had already paid attention to Huangzhou secretly, so the imperial edict was sent to Wang Shao, and Wang Shao would also send someone to Huangzhou for inquiries. Even if the Song Dynasty had not yet officially broken up with Mu Zheng in Hezhou, Mu Zheng would not send anyone to deliberately stop the scouts of the Song Dynasty. After asking around, it would take at least two or three days.

That could be that fast?

"I'm impatient." Zhao Xu looked at Wen Yanbo's old face and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Feng Jing said: "Wang Ju should not suppress Murong."

Wang Ju still sent a report every day to the capital. However, the report was as pity as gold, and his tone was as dull as the speech of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Celestial Empire. It was so dull that it made people feel pain. As for what Wang Ju had, he didn't say anything at all.

Let it hurt first, let it be disappointed first, worry first, and then victory comes, and then you will realize that it is rare!

Therefore, there is only a few sentences in the report, including the victory of Anjiang Fort, which is not written dozens of words, which is even simpler than historical books. Only when Wei Qingzong died, Wang Jucai wrote a few sentences in great detail.

Okay, these reports have arrived in the capital, and everyone is in pain together.

Let me ask, what can these big men who don’t understand military can see from these reports?

If you can't see it, Feng Jing said that Wang Ju's suppression of Murong was wrong. If you don't suppress Murong, if you appease it in advance, would Wei Qingzong have to fight the Snow Mud Fort in blood and sacrifice his life when he finally evacuated?

Don’t doubt that he is not good at his intentions. If he were replaced by Qingzhou, he would have done this. Aren’t you dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty? Then our Song Dynasty will give you Murong more benefits. There will always be times when you are satisfied. As for Murong’s requests in the end, what should I do if he is too excessive? Let’s talk about it later.

On the surface, this is indeed a stain on the current battle between Qingzhou. Although Anjiang Fort was lost, the great victory in Anjiang Fort was still proud. Fort Meili Fort was lost. But Yao Lin retreated safely.

It is understandable that the Snow Mud Fort was lost. How can a small ruined fort be defended? As for some soldiers who died, the number was not large. At least their sacrifices resulted in several times the casualties of the Xixia people. But Wei Qingzong is different. He is a senior general in Qingzhou.

"Okay, Wang Ju has done this, so don't pursue the right or wrong. Moreover, the enemy of Huanzhou is facing a great enemy and betrays at the moment. We should also punish it severely," Zhao Xu said. He also said: "Is the current plan safe in Qingzhou?"

"Western Xia is not good at siegeing cities, so there should be no major dangers in Qingzhou. At least the forts and forts can still be defended in these ten days. However, whether it can be safe or not is still in Huangzhou." Wen Yanbo said.

Wang Gui said, "I'm afraid it's not necessarily true. Maybe it was Wang Zian who comforted his wife and said casually."

In fact, these two people have big problems.

Wen Yanbo is kind, isn't the emperor worried that I am the prime minister of three dynasties and I have to comfort the emperor. But in fact, what he said was because the people of Xixia were not good at siegeing the city. Even if Wang Ju defended Qingzhou in the future, it would not be a credit. However, how were the Lingzhou, the Dingchuan Fort, and the Funing Village in last year lost? In fact, Luowu City can still be defended. Why did Wen Yanbo say that he could not defend and forced Zhong Yan to withdraw his troops from Luowu City?

Wang Gui seemed to have said bad things about Wang Ju, but in fact he was talking for Wang Ju. There was no accurate news from Qinzhou yet. What if Wang Ju made a mistake in his judgment? Therefore, he first said the ugly words.

The two of them didn't mention it anymore. In fact, there was another more serious problem, that is, the diplomacy of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty also knew how to get along far and near, for example, always interacting with Goryeo, but in fact, it was trying to use Goryeo to restrain the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Taizong of Song once used the Yalu River to interact with Jurchens and sent envoys to contact the Pubu.

However, that's it. Are there enough weapons to support and enough financial resources to make these tribes grow?

As we arrived in Tubo, Liangzhou and Lanzhou Liugu tribes were extremely loyal and yearning for the Central Plains, and even came to the Central Plains dynasty to welcome the Han people as governors many times. But when Xixia attacked the Liugu tribe, what support and statement did the Song Dynasty have?

Then to Yusiluo, the same is true. So can we blame Lao Jiao for being an alliance with the Song Dynasty for being a lip service? Then we played with Fire, Jurchens, Mongolia... It’s not good to form an alliance, nor is it good not to form an alliance, isn’t it a contradiction?

Do you have to eat apples today and tomorrow? This is the current disease of the Conservative Party.

For example, when Li Deming dealt with the Liugu tribe, Li Deming seemed to show his loyalty to the Song Dynasty. However, the Liugu tribe's friendship with the Central Plains was proved by more than a hundred years. Isn't it right to support the small and suppress the big? Even if we cannot directly send troops, we can indirectly support some money and weapons. In that case, the Liugu tribe can still be annihilated by the Western Xia? If we cannot obtain the Liugu tribe, the Gansu area of ​​the Western Xia will be lost, and the Hexi Corridor will be lost. What does Xixia use to fight against the Song Dynasty?

This is called help.

There is also pressure, and Tong Guan’s sea alliance cannot be said wrong. It belongs to the distant and near attack. But when the Jurchens showed such strong combat power, the Song Dynasty was not alert. Isn’t it a rhythm of seeking death? Later, they joined forces with Yuan Meng, which was even more idiotic.

It seems so difficult, is this really difficult? Let’s see how the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were scattered!

Some people say that the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Khitans, the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the Jurchens? Yes, some races disappeared, and some races merged.

However, don’t forget the race of this huge race. In terms of diligence, it can be said that it can definitely rank in the top five on this blue planet, and in terms of wisdom, it can also rank in the top five. Moreover, their number is so huge that it accounts for at least one-fifth and sixths of the world’s population. If you bring these people with you, you can’t stand in the forest of a strong country under the stability of the regime, so go and fly!

In fact, Zhao Gou cannot be a completely foolish monarch. It is precisely because of this that he and Qin Hui both want to eat Xiang. As for the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party of the Ming Dynasty, they want to eat Xiang!

Some later generations opposed Wang Shao and Hehuang to open the border, but there was nothing wrong with Hehuang to open the border. What was wrong was that Mu Zheng and others were close to Xixia. If they did not open the border Xihe, Xihe would be successful sooner or later. The consequences were even more serious. But why did Mu Zheng and others personally adhere to Xixia? Great chiefs like Yu Zanghuama surrender directly to Xixia, which had nothing to do with the people. In fact, the foreign people in the border areas of Qinzhou yearned for the Song Dynasty the most, otherwise they would not "borrow seeds" from the Han people. This reason was the impact of Laojiao on the disagreement of the Song Dynasty.

However, behind Lao Jiao's mentality is the best proof of the clumsy diplomacy of the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are many such examples, such as Jin Da and Ho Chi Minh. They later became powerful and had some movements that were very wrong. If the Heavenly Kingdom had a little pressure from the beginning, would there be a subsequent change?

Now is the epitome of this clumsy diplomatic system.

Since we know whether Dong Wu will send troops this time is extremely important, why don’t we discuss some countermeasures, but just passively wait for Dong Wu to send troops. The plan depends on people and the success of things depends on heaven, but Dong Wu is a man, not heaven! Or is it not as important as internal struggle?

Infighting...is very important!

Wen Yanbo said unhappily: "Yu Yu, how can this be a joke?"

Wang Gui smiled and said nothing.

What others say to comfort my wife, why bother to exaggerate?

However, the conflict between the two of them is not very serious. Strictly speaking, Wang Gui is also considered a vested person. One thing that Wang Ju didn't know was that there were two very famous women among Wang Gui's descendants. His eldest daughter married the scholar Li Gefei, and the daughter they gave birth to was Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao was good and a talented woman. However, Wang Gui also had a more famous granddaughter. Wang Gui had five sons, and the second son was Wang Zhongshan. Wang Zhongshan had a daughter, Li Qingzhao's little cousin. This little cousin married a more famous husband, and his name was Qin Hui...

Qin Hui had nothing to do with Wang Gui's mentality, but one thing can prove Wang Gui's mentality, that is, when Wang Gui, the famous granddaughter, got married to Qin Hui, Wang Zhongshan took out a dowry of 200,000 yuan. This shows the property of the Wang family.

Therefore, it was impossible to expect Wang Gui to agree with the reform, but he was unwilling to let him offend Zhao Xu to oppose the reform, so he kept getting along with the mud. However, Wang Gui has always been very good to Wang Ju, although his intention was not very pure.

Zhao Xu started rubbing his head again. Now he is not the one he was a few years ago. How could he not hear what they said in their words?

But I called you to discuss matters, not to make you scrupulous.

There was no way to discuss it again, Zhao Xu had to say, "Let's go."

Everyone dispersed, but Zhao Xu walked around the hall. Wang Gui was kind-hearted, but Zhao Xu was worried. What if Wang Gui said, Wang Ju just said "children's joke" to comfort his wife?

This is the tragic point of this era. Although the road situation in the Song Dynasty is better than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty's fast foot delivery also created a record of communication speed in ancient history, it was finally so far away. If only a mobile phone would be enough, he would be able to get the news from Wang Shao that Huangzhou would start to assemble troops and was about to send troops to Hexi. Or he would quickly get the best news of the victory in Dashun City.

However, after Wang Ju heard the news of the victory in Dashun City, his expression was very calm.

There will be three large-scale battles today, not counting small and medium-sized ones, including offensive and defensive battles in various forts and forts, as well as an upcoming sniper battle on Qiaochuan Road.

Among these three battles, the importance of this battle is at the end. The battle of Dashun City is the most important, and the difference is only how much success you will achieve in the end. However, the most variable is the upcoming Mengmen Sancha Battle.

If you fight well, it will be a magical journey. If you fight poorly, it may be the biggest extravagant in this battle of Gyeongju. And Wang Ju didn't like this gambling style either.

But I have to make arrangements like this, it can only be said that planning is up to people and success is up to heaven.

While he was anxiously waiting for news ahead, Miao Suo brought five hundred foreign soldiers to Ningzhou.

Wang Ju happily greeted him and said from afar: "Tell me, you are here just right."

"I have met Ming Gong," Miao Jue said, and then introduced: "This is General Qu Zhenqu, this is General Zhao Long and Zhao."

The introduction of the two of them with a face, actually Zhao Long is just an instructor now, and it is just an instructor from a group of archers, and Qu Zhen is nothing. However, Wang Ju likes it very much, and the only thing that makes him regret is that Zhang Shouyue did not "borrow it". Of course, Qu Zhen and Zhao Long are also good, especially Qu Zhen. If he grows up, he will beat Zhang Shouyue in the future. But now Qu Zhen will definitely not be able to catch up with Zhang Shouyue.

Wang Ju asked the five hundred gangsters to arrange the five hundred gangsters, and then said, "Get into the house quickly."

He welcomed the three of them into the house and asked them to sit down. Then Wang Ju took out the map, talked about the battle over the past few days, and talked about his own arrangements. This was not for Zhao Long and Qu Zhen. Even if these two people were very good at fighting, the arrangements Wang Ju gave them in this battle were just a position of a general. The reason why he said this was for Miao Su to listen to Miao Su so that Miao Su could quickly understand the situation.

After hearing this, Miao Shu’s eyes shone with light and said, “Ming Gong, you are indeed extraordinary.”

Wang Ju made him laugh and said, "Is there any news on Dong Wen?"

"Ming Gong, I am about to report this incident. According to Wang Zichun, someone sent someone to find out that Dong Wen was gathering the army. I delayed on the road for two days. Maybe the Tubo army has roughly entered the boundaries of Lanzhou and Liangzhou. Even if it has not entered, I believe it will be very soon."

"This is too good news." Wang Ju said happily.

It doesn't matter if you drag it for a while, but if you drag it for a long time, variables will appear. At least you may not be able to defend the Mengmen Sancha, and even the Donggu Fort will be dangerous. Whether it is Mengmen Sancha or the Donggu Fort, if something happens, you will not be able to win a great victory in this battle.

Wang Ju was sipping tea, and he was waiting for the news. Now that the news has come, he thought about the next plan in his mind to see if there is any change.

After thinking for a while, I put down the teacup and said, "Tell me, I feel something a little difficult to deal with."

"what?"

"The Yongxing Army sent out the officers and soldiers of the 28th Battalion, including the 13th Battalion of the Imperial Army, the 12th Battalion of the Poche Army, and the Third Battalion of the Border Qingbian."

It should be that Zeng Gongliang was very powerful this time. Not only did he send the officers and soldiers of the 28th Battalion this time, he originally sent the 11th Battalion to support Qingzhou. But what Wang Ju said was not the force. Even if Zeng Gongliang sent a little less force, it would not make Wang Ju feel embarrassed.

Wang Ju continued: "The 10th Battalion will arrive in Ningzhou first this evening, and the rest will arrive in Ningzhou before noon tomorrow."

Now the officers and soldiers of the 28th Battalion are very close to Ningzhou, and Wang Ju also received accurate information.

"The chief general is Di Yong, deputy general manager of Yongxing Army, who is the son of Di Qing and the Grand Duke Di. The deputy general is Gao Huaizhong, the chief supervisor of Yongxing Army. However, I don't know much about these two people."

Miao Su understood Wang Ju's meaning. This was not a small force, but a total of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Battalion. But the main general was particularly important to exert the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Battalion. However, if Wang Ju doesn't understand, how can he rest assured that Di Gao and the other two?

Now that Miao Shu has come, there is a candidate for the main general.

But the question is what reason Wang Ju used to let Miao Su replace Di Yong as the chief general?

First of all, the soldiers were from the Yongxing Army, not the soldiers of Huanqing Road under Wang Ju.

Then he arrived at the general, Di Yong had not proved it on the battlefield, but Miao Su had not proved it on the battlefield either. So he had to compare his qualifications. What did Miao Su use to compare his qualifications with Di Yong? It's an official position, which is much smaller. Is his family background? He is Di Qing's son.

Miao Su was also very proud of Wang Ju's trust. He didn't believe that that person looked even better than himself. However, the problem Wang Ju said was really difficult, so Miao Su thought about it and murmured: "Zi'an, it's really troublesome." (To be continued...)r1292
