Chapter 241 Is it a shackle or a county?

Lu Yijian took off his reading glasses, rubbed his forehead, and said to Zhang Dexiang on the side: "Jingyuan Road and Longyou came to write together, saying that he had sent five hundred troops to transport Ren Fu and a group of fallen soldiers back to Beijing, and let us give Xuan his orders."

Zhang Dexiang said: "This matter is not good, and the precedent cannot be opened without permission. If the Shufu agrees this time, I am afraid that in the future, the main generals on the front line of the war will do this one after another, and there will be endless troubles."

Lu Yijian smiled bitterly: "Don't I know? But their memorial did not mention Ge Huaimin, but he had such great effort to Ren Fu, and his meaning was clearly stated. If we reject it, we will cause resentment from the frontline soldiers. This matter cannot be refuted, it is nothing more than a sentence added to Xuan's order, and this example must not be cited in the future."

Before the war, Lu Yijian wrote letters to two groups, allowing the troops from Jingyuan and Huanqing to support the Tiandushan war. Ren Fu made contributions all the way, while Ge Huanmin caused great trouble all the way. Lu Yijian did a good job, but he had to figure it out afterwards. What was wrong with this battle and what was right? Everyone's merits and demerits were confused. Lu Yijian was also implicated. The front-line general has already expressed his attitude and should be highly rewarded and held Ge Huaimin accountable. Lu Yijian naturally should be cautious.

It was Xu Ping's usual habit to not express his opinions directly in the memorial, and respect Pang Ji, who presided over the post-war liquidation. He had no conclusions, so Xu Ping only acted within his own authority and rewarded the Longyou soldiers who participated in the war with merits.

Song Shou has been in poor health recently and has taken a long vacation. He has not been on duty in the Shufu for many days. The Privy Council now has only three people in charge, and his daily life is Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang, Wang Yiyong prepares the position, and occasionally deals with irrelevant matters.

However, as a military general, when it comes to Ren Fu, Wang Yiyong said: "Ren Mashuai died in a fierce battle, which led to the iron maces he used bent. He is such a powerful general! He is awarded an honor behind him, and it is not an exaggeration to make an exception. He can allow them to go both ways."

Lu Yijian nodded: "Of course I can only agree, what else can I do? Otherwise, the two commanders on the front line would be dissatisfied. It's just that this matter is serious and it's not easy to use a letter. I've written a familiar statement. I'll go to the palace to report the matter."

He immediately called the bookmaker and quickly drafted a familiar form. Lu Yijian took it to the palace to meet Zhao Zhen.

There was a big victory in Tiandu Mountain, and the situation in the northwest was clear. Yuan Hao's rebellion had been defeated. Now there is only the question of how to defeat it. Needless to say, Xu Ping, the generals and ministers commanding the front line, Han Qi and others have no limit on the future. Lu Yijian is just in his early sixties and is not very old, but his health is not good recently. He has been in a state of affairs in his life, and has used too much thoughts and has overdrawn his body. He also feels that he is afraid he cannot live long. He has planned for the future and at least he cannot offend Xu Ping and Han Qi.

Zhao Zhen was very excited these days. He destroyed tens of thousands of troops of the Party Xiang in one battle, and was still all elite. He obtained the greatest martial arts after Taizu. From the initial anger of Yuanhao's rebellion against Song to the panic when Sanchuankou was defeated, now he finally ended his hardships and saw the dawn of victory. Such a big victory made Zhao Zhen feel that he was very interesting as an emperor, and suddenly became much taller. With countless confidence in the surrounding countries, he also had confidence from then on.

When Lu Yijian arrived at Chongzheng Hall, Li Di was reporting the matter. Lu Yijian did not explain that he would perform solo, so Zhao Zhen asked him to come in with Li Di. He was now full of joy to share with his ministers.

When Zhao Zhen saw that the ministers still did not burn charcoal, but a fire road was built in Chongzheng Hall, which was as warm as spring. The ministers finally stopped suffering as before. The courtesy was like rituals, Lu Yijian told the matter and handed it over to the familiar.

Zhao Zhen was in a hurry and almost all the rewards involved in the Northwest soldiers were agreed. After taking the mature example, he drew it in front of Lu Yijian, and asked the little yellow gate to use seals, so that Lu Yijian would take it back directly.

Giving Lu Yijian a seat, Zhao Zhen said: "Just just now, the prime minister is talking about the generals in the northwest. The Taiwei is here, and it happens to be a discussion together."

Seeing Lu Yijian looking to himself, Li Di said: "A great victory in Tiandu Mountain, the court has a lot of remarks, and there are wars or peace behind it, and the ministers have different opinions. There will be major issues next, so we should discuss it first."

Lu Yijian shook his head repeatedly: "At this time, our dynasty has won tens of thousands of soldiers, and the money and food are abundant. The Hao thieves are all lost. How can there be a reason for harmony? If you don't kill to Xingqing Mansion and capture the Hao thief clown to be punished, you can restore all the silver, Xia, Xing, and Lingshu, and you must not stop!"

Li Di said: "The reason is this, but the words of the ministers in the court are different, which is not a good thing. To destroy Dangxiang, the court is united and determined to act. The officials who are in harmony simply want to follow the stories of the previous dynasty. As long as Yuan Hao goes to the emperor's title and submits to the emperor, he will still be detained. The officials who are in charge of fighting will destroy Dangxiang and the county and the county. What is important is not war or harmony, but how to deal with Dangxiang after the war. Is it detained? Or set up a wide range of prefectures and counties?"

Zhao Zhen said: "That's true. I just discussed with the prime minister and couldn't decide the strategy. If I want to be restrained, it is difficult to prevent a Yuanhao from being released in the future, and then the swords and weapons will arise again and the lives will be devastated. If the county and county are in the same place, the people in the Hu people will be different from those in the Central Plains. I am afraid that there will be many troubles. Moreover, the land there is barren and poor, and after the prefectures and counties, there will inevitably be officials, and they will only spend money and food."

From the rebellion of the Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizong, many officials have regarded that area as a burden in their consciousness, believing that direct rule is a burden. This concept is the basis for some people to advocate peace talks. Officials in the Song Dynasty are very good at calculating economic accounts, and sometimes they are obsessed with it, believing that occupying the party's territory is a loss of money and is not worth doing. In this era, many people's minds, except for the Youyan area, which is the homeland of the Han people, they have to be taken back no matter what the price they pay. It is a political correctness, and they are not very interested in other places. There is an example of the Tang Dynasty that it is generally believed that ruling ethnic minority areas is not cost-effective, and they may even cause trouble. As long as they surrender, everything will be fine.

The war and harmony that Li Di talked about was not his attitude towards Yuan Hao. He had offended the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty and was not enough to redeem his sins. But his future strategy, what strategy was for Dangxiang's land and the people there. Only when these were settled can we determine how to stop after winning.

If it is determined that the area will be dominated by bans in the future, the war will be roughly over now. As long as the ministers of Dangxiang kill Yuan Hao and send the heads to Kaifeng, the people who killed Yuan Hao will be the governor, and everything will be as usual. Now Yuan Hao has been betrayed by everyone and his prestige has been ruined. The Song Dynasty made this promise and there is no need to worry that Dangxiang has no one to do it.

If we are determined to make the county and county and the territory of Dangxiang become a place directly governed by the Song Dynasty, the war still needs to be fought and the independent armed forces of Dangxiang have been destroyed. How to deal with the war, what policies and specific measures should be taken, we must start preparing now. The governance requires the establishment of officials, how to select, who to send, and how to select from the local area, and how to do it. These are uncertain, and there are still countless troubles to win the war.

These people have read the memorials from Xu Ping. Longyou has already decided. After the battle in Tiandu Mountain ended, they immediately started to attack Weizhou and Mingsha County and opened the gates of Lingzhou. Dangxiang had lost all his elite troops and left the mountainous areas. It was impossible for them to stop the Longyou army going north anymore. The war might end soon. If they were not prepared early, they would inevitably be in a hurry.
