Shen Kuo selected elite men among them to serve as vanguards, so the elite soldiers and horses of Jingzhou must be better than those of other states.

This time during the expedition to Xia on the Jingyuan Road, Shen Kuo mobilized grain and grass, encouraged the people, and severely punished the harsh officials. He also took advantage of the opportunity when Wang Zhong was heading north to mobilize the remaining civilian forces to build the city of Pingxia without the protection of the army.

Shen Kuo can be said to be a decathlete in all aspects, including running the army, managing government, raising food, keeping the people in peace, and transporting people.

No matter how talented Shen Kuo was, the officials on Hejingyuan Road would still tell stories about his henpecking. Of course, in addition to his henpecked nature, there was another thing Shen Kuo despised among the officials on Hejingyuan Road, and that was his vacillation.

Facing the hundreds of thousands of Xixia troops under Mingsha City, Shen Kuo had less than 20,000 remnant soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers without any weapons or horses to relieve the siege.

Shen Kuo anxiously held a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Shen Kuo said to the generals: "Since we can't defeat them and we have to save them, there is only one solution for now, and that is to negotiate peace with Xixia!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Shen Kuo said. They negotiated peace with Xixia? Can you, Shen Kuo, represent the court?

Shen Kuo said: "This is the only current strategy. If we can recover the soldiers and return some land, it will be fine."

Master Zhong said: "This strategy is absolutely unacceptable. Although our army lost the army of Yanyan Road in this expedition to Xia, it also gained something. If we negotiate peace at this time, all previous achievements will undoubtedly be wasted."

"The imperial court will never agree to this. Please think again, Commander-in-Chief!"

Shen Kuo said: "What about that? Only this method can have the best of both worlds. It can not only save Zhang Jinglue, but also not damage our soldiers and horses on the Jingyuan Road!"
